Dream Guide - #464 - Chapter 464: The damn hands-off shopkeeper
Life Flower covered the telescope with a hood and a dust cover, took one last look up, and then went downstairs.
She went to the second floor first. There was a bar downstairs. The renovated bar had very good sound insulation, and the noise no longer spread as far as before. The corridor on the second floor was empty and quiet. The row of old chairs were still lying on the corridor, but no one had sat on them for a long time.
The door of Aoki’s studio is closed, with two couplets posted on both sides. One is:
Only Aoki
Keqi Shenwu
This was posted when the studio opened, and it was considered an advertising slogan. The other one is:
Spring comes to the dead trees, flowers bloom and no one can see them in the alleys
The bird is in love with its nest, sweeping the old nest and waiting for your return
This was written by Lifeshenghua before the Spring Festival last year and was posted as Spring Festival couplets. At that time, I still thought that they would come back to celebrate the New Year. Later, I waited for him to come back to celebrate the Lantern Festival. Then I thought that he should come back during the Qingming Festival. When he came back, he would see this painting and the crows would also see the painted eyebrow on the door. The sauce elbows, they will know that there are people who miss them when they are not around.
Unexpectedly, it has been almost a year, and the bright red paper has become dim, but the person has not come back yet.
Bi Shenghua put her hand on the door handle, twisted it halfway, and then stopped. She remembered that she had done some cleaning today, and there were no people or dust inside. It’s impossible to open the door and suddenly find that Aoki and Coal Boss are back, right?
Almost every morning, she would get up and clean Aoki’s studio and room. This has become a habit for her, and it has become natural.
She released her hand from the doorknob, gently smoothed the raised corner of the elbow painting on the door, and then gently turned around and left.
The bar was busy late at night, and Xiao Qi and Mo Yu were very busy. The bar has been in operation for more than a year since its expansion, and the business is booming. The money invested has almost been repaid, and there is still a small surplus. If Lifeshenghua hadn’t insisted on quality and was unwilling to raise prices in order to take care of its neighbors and regular customers, its profits would have been even greater this year.
However, the employees are all convinced by this boss lady who has a bit of a bad temper but can cover up everything. Bishenghua said they should insist on quality, so they insisted on quality. Although the dividends and bonuses may be less, the possibility of being scolded or even beaten is also lower, and people always have to take a long-term view. The prospects of the bar are better, and their jobs are also better. It will be more stable.
Life Flower often said: “Don’t make your eye sockets too shallow. Stand high and see far. If you have time at night, look at the stars.”
The employees went to look at the stars. They couldn’t look at other stars, so they would look at the Big Dipper and the Altair and the Weaver Girl. Then some talkative people started pointing at the Altair and saying that was the boss, and pointing at the Vega and saying that was the boss’s wife. Everyone laughed heartily. Newcomers ask who is the boss, why haven’t they seen him before?
Xiao Qi used his old tricks to teach them a lesson: “What nonsense! You can talk about the private affairs of the boss and the wife of the boss? Just go ahead and do what you have to do!”
Xiao Qi is no longer the boy he was last year, he looks a bit like a manager. Whether he is facing customers, employees, or cadres from the industrial, commercial, urban management and street administration, he can handle it calmly. The only people who can make him obey are two women, one is the boss’s wife and the other is Mo Yu.
Mo Yu is in charge of the bar’s band and all performances. In addition, she is also responsible for the bar’s image design and official promotion activities. Ruhua Bar is becoming more and more popular in Liuying Lane, and she is also responsible for it. The employees all laughed and said, “Xiao Qi is in charge, Mo Yu is in charge of outside, they are called women singing and their husbands follow suit.”
Bishenghua basically doesn’t care about anything anymore, unless there are things that Xiao Qi and Mo Yu can’t handle, such as some unsighted gangsters or colleagues who come to cause trouble, and some official matters.
Under normal circumstances, everything can be solved as soon as Life Flower comes forward. When she chased the troublemaking gangsters into the police station with a knife, her reputation had already spread throughout Liuying Lane. Although the turmoil of the Jiang brothers has long passed, and only people in a small circle know the truth of the matter, there is no airtight wall in the world. In addition, Wuzhong strongman Huang Ziqiang comes to Ruhua Bar from time to time to show his hospitality, and everyone else is I can’t help but guess that the back of the bar owner’s wife is leaning against a big tree.
Bi Shenghua came to the bar, found an empty seat and sat down, and said to Xiao Qi who was mixing drinks inside: “Give me the drink you are mixing, just that cup.”
She was very satisfied with the operation of the bar. Her only regret was that the wine prepared by Xiao Qi was still a little inferior to hers.
Xiao Qi said in embarrassment: “Madam boss, my cup is not ready yet, it’s only half mixed.”
Bi Shenghua said: “It’s just a half adjustment. I just want to see if you can do it with half the effort.”
Xiao Qi reluctantly moved the unmixed Tequila Sunrise in front of Bishenghua, and turned around nervously to help the customer who had ordered another cup.
Bi Shenghua took a sip and found that the taste was pretty good. Although she hadn’t had time to add the Bideli pomegranate juice, for a bartending expert like her, she could already predict the taste of the final product.
A young man wearing a black and white skull shirt and a shaved head moved to sit next to Bishenghua, shook half of his long hair towards her, smelled of alcohol and leaned into her ear and said, “I saw it just now. The wine boy gave you the half-mixed wine.”
Bi Shenghua was very happy and said, “I just like to drink half-mixed wine.”
“Yo, you have personality!” the young man whistled, “Bartender, give me a drink like this brother’s!”
Xiao Qi doesn’t like people calling him bartender. A bartender is a bartender, a bartender is a bartender, a bartender is an artist in the bar, and the bartender is responsible for passing the drinks and watching the scene.
Regular customers in the bar call him Xiao Qi, and those who don’t know his name will call him bartender or handsome guy. Of course, there are also people who call waiters and bartenders. If they are unhappy, there is nothing they can do about it. Customers are God!
He slowly turned around and saw the young man’s yin and yang head, with a sun tattooed on the hairless half of his temple.
He suddenly laughed. He saw that Life Flower was also smiling. He wants to say “day”, but of course he won’t say it because the customer is God.
But then, he actually said “日” because he saw the boy put his hand on Yishenghua’s shoulder.
“New here?” Xiao Qi tried his best to restrain himself, “Let go of your hand. You just put your hand on Sister Hua’s shoulder?”
“Sister Hua?” Yin Yangtou finally realized, “It turns out to be a woman!” He simply put his hand from Bi Shenghua’s shoulder to the other, “It’s not your best friend, it’s none of your business!”
If it had been before, the wine glass in Bishenghua’s hand would have smashed this kid’s head into pieces. It’s been a long time since she smashed a wine bottle. In the past, the bar was small and all the people who came were neighbors. She didn’t welcome such blind gangsters. But now that the bar is big and business is booming, the people coming are naturally mixed. She knows how to control it. Heat.
She had to see if this person was a stick, or if his colleagues deliberately brought him to cause trouble. In addition, she also wants to see how Xiao Qi handles this matter, because this kind of thing can happen to her and other girls. When she’s not around, it’s up to Xiao Qi.
She didn’t want any girl to be bullied in Ruhua Bar, and one day when that damn hands-off shopkeeper came back, she definitely didn’t want to hear about the bad reputation of his store. While he was away, she had to keep the house safe for him.
But this time, it wasn’t Xiao Qi’s turn to show off his ability as a bar manager, because someone took action before Xiao Qi.
A thick arm stretched out, pinched the young man’s wrist, and took it away from Bi Shenghua’s shoulder. The young man cursed, “Fuck me,” and wanted to resist, but he felt as if his wrist was bound by an iron band. He turned around and saw a bald head that was even smoother than the hairless half of his male and female head.
Then, he heard a crunching sound and felt a heartbreaking pain in his wrist.
