Smiling Face
Chapter 290 Smiling Face
November 8th is the beginning of winter.
If we distinguish by solar terms, today is the beginning of winter, and everything has been hidden since then.
The temperature in Lincheng continues to drop and has already reached below ten degrees. Beauty-loving girls put on knitted skirts with slightly stronger thermal insulation capabilities, put on coats, and paired with bare legs, they can still show off their beauty in this season.
On the bench near the basketball court, Lin Anyu was sternly looking at the girls coming and going, sighing from time to time.
He was wearing a thick windbreaker today, with the collar raised high to block the cold wind trying to get into his neck. He suddenly said: "When I take over the family business in the future, I will definitely make it bigger and stronger, and one day monopolize all the bare legs in the world." The industrial chain of artifacts only allows the production of one type of bare-legged artifact..."
"It looks similar to stockings, right?" Han Zhou next to him took over his words, "If this is your goal, then I support you from the bottom of my heart."
"You were only half right."
Lin Anyu shook his head solemnly, with a solemn expression, "What I want is not ordinary stockings, but black stockings. Silk stockings of other colors have no value. Only black stockings are the ultimate form of aesthetics. Do you understand?"
"Then I still don't support you."
Han Zhou took a sip of coke and said casually, "I support aesthetic freedom. Good legs match good silk. Color is not the key. To borrow a saying from my hometown - there are no waste stockings, only waste lower limbs."
"Hiss... As expected of a top student, you have a high level of consciousness."
Lin Anyu was in awe, with an exaggerated look of shame, and then said in confusion, "But isn't your hometown Lincheng? How come I haven't heard of this sentence?"
"Oh, this is a translation of a classic quote." Han Zhou said casually.
"Okay." Lin Anyu didn't care, and looked at his friends around him with a smile, "Speaking of which, you have become a bit more naughty recently, and you would actually discuss this LSP topic with me seriously."
"This is a matter of aesthetic concepts. What does it have to do with LSP?"
"I can't tell you. Anyway, you feel like you're turning from dull to sexy..."
Han Zhou shrugged: "I told you this is a serious topic. Even if there are girls here, I can discuss it with them calmly."
As soon as he finished speaking, a vigilant voice suddenly sounded from behind him: "What do you want to discuss with the girl?"
Han Zhou's expression froze, and he turned around to face Gu Zheng's bright and suspicious eyes.
Today, Gu Zheng was wearing a black sweater and a light brown high-waisted skirt. She was slightly bent over, with her hands behind her back. She originally planned to approach Han Zhou quietly, but unexpectedly she heard the key word "girl" as soon as she came over. Ci, I suddenly felt wary and couldn't help but ask aloud.
Seeing that Han Zhou was silent, Lin Anyu gave him a "reassured" look, coughed dryly, and explained: "Han Zhou just told me that there are no waste stockings, only waste lower limbs."
"So?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Han Zhou wants to see you wearing black stockings."
Han Zhou almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Is this how you reassure me?
Gu Zheng was stunned for two seconds, her face turned slightly red, she looked at Han Zhou for a while, and then pretended not to care and asked, "Is what he said true?"
"Fake." Han Zhou shook his head.
I never said it had to be black stockings... he thought to himself.
At this moment, Lin Anyu couldn't wait to change his words: "I made a mistake just now. Han Zhou didn't say it must be black silk. He said it must be good legs with good silk."
Han Zhou's expression darkened: "Can you stop talking?"
"Isn't this a serious topic? Why are you embarrassed?" Lin Anyu said with a wink.
Han Zhou ignored him, took out his phone and looked at the time, then changed the subject and said, "Okay, it's almost time. Let's set off when everyone is here."
When it came to business, Gu Zheng couldn't hold on to the question just now. He nodded and said, "Well, Sister Yin just sent me a message, saying that she is almost ready."
"Don't you have to wait for senior sister?" Lin Anyu asked doubtfully.
The senior he refers to is Zhong Ling. Although they are not from the same school, in terms of grade, she is also his senior.
"No, senior sister has already gone to the store in advance, so we don't have to wait for her." Han Zhou stood up and accurately threw the can into the trash can in the distance. "The address is just outside the school, not far away."
More than half a month has passed since the social event. During this time, Zhong Yin has been repeatedly thinking about the feasibility of opening a pastry shop. He discussed it with his sister Zhong Ling for several days, and even asked Han Zhou for his opinion, and finally gritted his teeth and did it. I made a decision and planned to take a gamble with the savings I had saved in the past.
These savings include the money saved by the sisters' deceased parents for half their lives. This is the first time Zhong Yin has used it. He hopes that his parents can bless the pastry shop to open successfully.
Considering various factors, the pastry shop was finally opened on the street near Lincheng University. According to Lin Anyu, as long as the taste is not bad, opening a shop near the university will at least not make a loss. College students have always been the main consumer of pastries. If you open it near a school, you don't have to worry about the number of customers.
As for whether you can make a lot of money stably, it depends on how you manage it in the future.
Of course, it is well known that stores near universities are in demand. It is usually difficult to find people willing to transfer the store. Those stores with signs such as "The store will be sublet, clearance sale, only 38 for the whole store" Han Jugang I saw it on the first day of school, and I still see it now.
It has to be said that even 38 can't be sold, which shows how low the quality of the goods in the store is. Even if they shout slogans of clearance and sale at low prices, no one is fooled. Closing down is actually an inevitable outcome.
After learning Zhong Yin's idea, Han Zhou took the initiative to help and found a store that was indeed not operating well. He came to talk to it several times and finally bought the store at a satisfactory and reasonable price.
This is of course not because Han Zhou is eloquent and good at negotiating, but because he can now spy on secrets and easily ask the lowest price acceptable to the boss. Coupled with Lin Anyu's assistance, he can sell the goods at a low price. The store is leased and transferred.
Lin Anyu was called by Han Zhou to help, and he had contributed a lot to this matter. Zhong Yin naturally wanted to acknowledge his affection, so he invited him to try the pastries together today.
Yes, today is not the opening day yet. Since Zhong Yin has the confidence to open a pastry shop, it means that she is indeed good at it. Han Zhou can taste this from the pastries that Zhong Ling brings from time to time - the other party has always Making progress.
But this is not enough. In order to improve competitiveness, Zhong Yin has been trying to develop more attractive pastries recently, and today is the time to show the results of his research.
"I have a hunch that senior sister's store will be very popular." Lin Anyu stretched himself and said with longing, "If they are too busy in the future, Han Zhou, you must ask them to consider recruiting me to the store. help."
Whether Zhong Yin's store will become popular or he wants to work in Zhong Yin's store, his two sentences are based on the same logic - Zhong Yin is a great beauty. Not only Zhong Yin is a great beauty, but her sister Zhong Ling is also a great beauty.
Although many people say that you can't eat your face as food, in fact, there are countless ways to use your face as food. As long as you do a little publicity, you can say "There is a pair of sisters in that newly opened store, and one of them is still mute." If the news about the bride "Zhong Ling" spreads, if nothing else, at least many boys from college will definitely come here to see how charming Zhong Ling's sister is.
This is natural advertising that costs almost nothing.
To put it another way, if you are also going out to buy pastries on campus, would you rather look at more handsome guys and beauties while waiting, or would you rather keep your head down and continue playing on your phone?
This point is a matter of opinion, but it is undeniable that when the tastes are not much different, appearance is a factor that cannot be ignored that affects the choice. Otherwise, there is no need to spend time decorating so many shops, just find a rough house.
Of course, there are many factors that affect success, but at least in Lin Anyu's view, this store will definitely have no problem making a profit.
Han Zhou said angrily: "If you want to work, go and ask Sister Yin. But weren't you ambitious enough to unify the design aesthetic of bare-leg artifacts around the world? Why do you want to work again now?"
"What does it mean to change the design aesthetic of the bare-leg artifact?" Gu Zheng looked confused.
"This is not important." Lin Anyu said righteously, "The important thing is that our school will hold a sports meeting next week. The monitor insists that I participate in the relay race. As you know, my sports level is quite average. , you are so talented in sports, do you have any tips you can teach me?"
"You changed the topic quite abruptly..."
Gu Zheng glanced at him, thought for a while and said, "You also said that I am only talented in sports, not the know-how to improve my sports level, so I can't teach you anything, um... just keep working hard and move forward. ?"
Lin Anyu had no choice but to speak at Gu Zheng's Versailles, and turned to look at Han Zhou: "Han Zhou, what can you do? I always feel that your athletic level is not at the same level as before. Could it be that you have been got through to Ren Duer? Pulse?"
"I just didn't take action before."
Han Zhou said without changing his expression, "You want to improve your sports level mainly because you want the girls in the class to cheer for you, so why don't you just work hard for this goal."
Lin Anyu sighed: "Oh, your answers are really perfunctory."
Han Zhou didn't want to be perfunctory, but he couldn't tell the other person that I became stronger because of cheating. You should also find someone to cheat, right?
At this moment, Gu Zheng said: "Speaking of which, our school's sports meeting will start soon. I seem to have heard it mentioned by the sports committee member two days ago."
Han Zhou nodded: "One week later than Lin Anyu's school."
I heard this news from Ouyang Lianyu. It is worth mentioning that not long ago, this "covered with injuries" finally got out of the wheelchair and relived the feeling of being down to earth. As long as his hands recover after a while, After that, she can break the rumor that "Teacher Ouyang cannot appear on campus unscathed" with a sound attitude.
She was looking forward to this very much, and mentioned it in several chats with Han Zhou, and said that she would be very careful recently to eliminate the stereotypes of her among teachers and students in the school.
——Then she went to the hospital again.
Fortunately, the injury was not serious this time, just an ankle sprain. Ouyang Lianyu still firmly believed that she would be able to fully recover in the near future.
Hearing Han Zhou suppressing a smile to say this, Gu Zheng looked worried: "Is Teacher Ouyang really cursed as everyone said? How can anyone be injured all day long?"
"It has nothing to do with the curse." Han Zhou shook his head and said, "Teacher Ouyang is just too focused on her mathematical research. If she focuses too much on one thing, she will be too careless on other things. I think she should find something other than mathematics for her to do. Do."
"for example?"
"For example, let her go to sports meets."
Gu Zheng rolled her eyes: "I finally understand why Teacher Ouyang always loses his temper with you."
Han Zhou said innocently: "It's not because she has been hinting that I should take part in sports, but it is also the most troublesome long-distance running. There are so many talented people in the class, and I am obviously more suitable to be the head of the logistics department."
"Then remember to come over and help me when the time comes, and cheer me on by the way."
"no problem."
Han Zhou smiled. With Gu Zheng's character, he definitely wanted to participate in the sports meeting, so of course he wanted to cheer.
"What about my cheers?" Lin Anyu suddenly said sourly, looking at Han Zhou with burning eyes.
Han Zhou glanced at him doubtfully.
"who are you?"
"..."
A few people chatted all the way, and soon they came to a street outside the school.
This street is in a pretty good location, adjacent to the commercial street. Pedestrians will basically pass by here when shopping. At this time, you can see a lot of people on the street, indicating that the flow of people is good.
The pastry shop is located a little closer to the street and is less conspicuous than other shops. This is normal. If it is a store in a prime location, the transfer price will undoubtedly be much higher.
The store has obviously been renovated. It has changed a lot compared to the last time Han Zhou came here. All the necessary tools are in place. On the table near the corner, Han Zhou saw the winning number he won with Zhong Ling at the social event. cake machine.
There is no signboard outside yet. In addition to tasting food, another reason why Zhong Yin invited everyone here today is to help think of a catchy name for the store.
"Sister Yin, senior sister, we are here."
Han Zhou took the lead in the door and immediately saw Zhong Ling who was busy. She was squeezing cream on the pastry on the plate with concentration. She didn't know if it was because she was in a good mood. There was a slight smile on the corner of her mouth. His smile made the room seem a lot brighter.
Han Zhou did not disturb him. Zhong Ling was similar to Ouyang Lianyu. Once he entered the state, he would be very focused. The difference was that the latter was more extreme and often even ignored his own safety.
He signaled Gu Zheng and the two behind him to be quiet, slowed down and walked over, looking down at the good-looking pastry in Zhong Ling's hand - if nothing else, this should be the pastry they were going to try today.
After seeing the pattern on the pastry clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed.
"I really added a smiley face..."
