The Days of Opening a Restaurant on an Abnormal Earth

At noon, Zhang Tong left Li Saifeng and Wang Xuewen to eat in the store. Li Saifeng had to go to school in the afternoon, so he left after eating. Before leaving, he repeatedly asked Zhang Tong to help watch over Wang Xuewen, so that he would not be really deceived, Zhang Tong repeatedly promised.

Today Zhang Tong made a set meal of fried small yellow croaker and mapo tofu. Zhang Tong's small shop has begun to have the temperament of an online celebrity shop, because Zhang Tong is handsome and Xiao Xiao is also very cute. Even Xiao Hei, who looks dumb, looks like Wu Yanzu. Therefore, many diners who come to eat regard the chef and waiter of this small shop as the most beautiful combination in Huaihai. This is exactly the match of a handsome chef.

Many people don't come to eat for the purpose of eating. Many people, especially girls, come to the store just to take pictures. Zhang Tong is very annoyed by this, so he has been working in the back kitchen and not taking these matters. Fortunately, there are Xiao Hei and Xiao Xiao at the front desk, and many girls took the subway for seven or eight stops just to see this so-called handsome chef's shop.

It turned out that when I came here, I found that the waiters and chefs in this store were really as handsome as the rumors on the Internet. Chef Zhang Tong is a handsome guy with a sense of the times, Xiao Hei is a cold handsome guy, and Xiao Xiao has the feeling of a two-dimensional girl loli. In addition, Zhang Tong cooks very well, and because Zhang Tong's cheating cleaning ability keeps the whole shop spotless, so this small shop has become an online celebrity shop in Huaihai in just a few months. .

In addition, Zhang Tong keeps changing the dishes every day, and basically formulates the menu according to his own wishes every day. So Zhang Tong originally planned to open a small shop to live a leisurely life, but he didn't expect to turn his small shop into an online celebrity shop because of these people who are completely out of his control. Now every day when it's meal time, there will be a line in front of the store.

And another reason is that the dishes Zhang Tong sells are not expensive. Compared with other online celebrity shops that have nothing but dare to sell them for several times the price, Zhang Tong is simply too conscientious. Especially compared with those internet celebrity instant noodle cafeterias, a bowl of instant noodles with a poached egg can be sold for twenty or thirty dollars. Do you think the bosses are all Huang Sanshi? !

Therefore, the business of Zhang Tong's small store has become very hot, and the daily turnover rate is very high. But Zhang Tong still has that personality, as long as he earns almost as much as he can. Lunch is until two o'clock in the afternoon, and it ends at two o'clock. Don't buy it for one more minute.

Also because of Zhang Tong's willful personality, some people on the Internet began to criticize Zhang Tong's store, and even called out the name [Nanniu Exhibition, North Zhangtong]. Although Zhang Tong had no idea who that ugly monster named Niu Zhan was.

"Let's go." Zhang Tong patted Wang Xuewen who had been waiting for him: "Go to the bookstore and have a rest."

Wang Xuewen stood up quickly: "Hey, there are still a lot of people waiting in line to eat. Don't you want to do it?"

"Don't do it. When the money is earned, don't make yourself too tired. The life I want is not to cook for others every day. Cooking is just a hobby." Zhang Tong took Wang Xuewen and left the shop while talking. Those who came here for the name but couldn't eat it could only leave disappointed. But it is estimated that many people will start scolding on Weibo, WeChat, Moments, Zhihu, Station B and other places.

But Zhang Tong just doesn't care about these. Make it clear, I didn't open the store to make a lot of money. I don't care if you come here because of fame or not. Also save myself too tired. I still have to rest.

As it is now, Wang Xuewen took Zhang Tong to Xingyue Global Harbor, the most prosperous and high-end shopping mall in Putuo District, not far from Zhang Tong's shop. On the top floor of the Penthouse Mall there is a Seaver Bookstore.

"Now, the sales of physical books are not very good." Wang Xuewen spoke slowly, but he tried not to let himself stutter when repeating a word many times: "Because, everyone reads and books online. So now There are also fewer bookstores in Huaihai. The bookstores we, when we were young, basically all closed down. Only Huaihai Bookstore is still open."

"Also, there are bookstores like Seafe Bookstore." Led by Wang Xuewen, Zhang Tong followed him to the Seafe Bookstore on the top floor of Global Harbor.

The bookstore is tastefully decorated, there are many books but the space does not feel cramped. On the other side of the bookstore is a bookstore coffee shop. After ordering a cup of coffee or tea in the coffee shop, you can borrow some books for free from the bookstore to read (the ones with plastic packaging are not acceptable). A row of high stools and a long narrow desk are provided near the window of the bookstore, where books can be borrowed for free. The bookstore is not small, and there are all kinds of stationery and literary tools sold in the corner next to it. The price is relatively expensive, but the bookstore can really make money from this kind of stationery and the coffee shop next to it. Bookstores cannot survive solely relying on profits from books.

Choosing books in a bookstore and reading e-books on Kindle are two different things. Finding a book you like in a physical bookstore always feels like picking up lost gems in the ocean. Such a bookstore is more appropriate to say that it sells a way of life rather than selling books.

Everyone here is very quiet. This is probably the unique charm of bookstores and libraries. Even noisy children will walk with their feet on their feet for fear of disturbing others by making too much noise.

Zhang Tong has not been to the bookstore for a long time, and it has been more than ten years. When entering the bookstore, there is a feeling of time travel, as if I have returned to the time when I went to the bookstore with Wang Xuewen after school to secretly read comic books and martial arts novels. At that time, I just finished watching a set of "Dragon and Ba Bu", a set of "Xue Xuanshuang" and a set of "Four Famous Catching Generals"!

"There are no plastic-covered books here. You can read them. You can take them to the desk and read slowly. The clerk will not rush people. It is better than us at that time. It is much better. But with plastic-covered books, you can't Type it, open it and read it." Wang Xuewen took Zhang Tong to the bestseller section, he pointed to the full-color comic books of Marvel and DC in plastic packaging and said: "This, these books are very expensive."

Zhang Tong picked up a book, heh! The price is not cheap, and a full-color print of "Iron Man" costs fifty-eight copies. Wang Xuewen held a copy of DC Comics "Watchmen" in his hand and whispered to Zhang Tong: "This, this book is really good. I bought it. If you want to see it, I will lend it to you."

Although Watchmen is a comic book, it won a Hugo Award and is an extremely thoughtful comic book that has not been compared in thirty years.

Zhang Tong took the book and looked at the price. It costs more than one hundred yuan! Zhang Tong said with some doubts: "Wang Xuewen, didn't you spend a lot of money to buy comic books?" The comics are so expensive, Wang Xuewen earns more than 3,000 a month, if he really opens up to buy them, he earns Money is really not enough to spend. Maybe he secretly used the money he wanted to save to buy comics.

I used to do this kind of thing when I was a child. I used my lunch money to buy two steamed buns, and then saved the extra money to buy comics.

"No, no. Why?" Wang Xuewen shook his head: "This, the book is very expensive. I, it is cheaper to buy it online. And, I can't buy too much."

"Then where have you spent your money for a month now?" Zhang Tong asked sideways.

"I can't spend much money living at home. It's only tens of dollars a month for phone bills. I ride and share bicycles when I commute to and from get off work. At most, I eat fast food occasionally and save a little. I spend three or four hundred dollars a month. Money." Wang Xuewen did not spend much money.

Zhang Tong still wanted to continue to inquire, but he heard a little girl's voice calling softly: "Uncle Wang." Zhang Tong turned his head and saw a five or six-year-old little girl standing at the door of the bookstore watching Wang Xuewen, and not far away, a woman wearing a cleaning uniform in Universal Harbor was holding a mop and a bucket and looked at Wang Xuewen and Zhang Tong in embarrassment.
