On the weekend, the coffee shop was filled with laughter. Because Xi Xi was on vacation, the shop seemed to be livelier with the little girl around. The early winter in Jiangcheng didn't seem so cold anymore.
"Haha, haha!"
Yang Yi sat in his booth and read quietly. Two little figures ran past him, leaving behind a string of bell-like laughter. Yang Yi was pulled back from his thoughts. He looked at Xi Xi and Lan Xin, smiled, and shook his head.
Lan Xin was the one who came to play with Xi Xi the most often among her friends.
Lan Zhou Kai also trusted Yang Yi very much. After a few exchanges, they always felt that they were like brothers in arms. Therefore, a busy man like him couldn't accompany his daughter. Instead of letting Lan Xin stay at home and cry, it was better to leave his daughter with Yang Yi. Anyway, there would be someone to take care of her and serve her well. This wishful thinking couldn't be better.
After a while, the two little girls giggled and chased the pitiful Little Gray, who was running away. Once again, they ran past Yang Yi.
Yang Yi reached out and caught the two little girls by their waists. He smiled and said, "Run slower, don't fall!"
"Haha!" The moment Xi Xi and Lan Xin were caught, they pressed down on Yang Yi's big arms and looked at each other and laughed. They laughed so hard that their little bodies went soft. No one knew what they were laughing about.
Xi Xi, who didn't have her friends by her side, was a little lady. With her friends by her side … the energetic little girl played like crazy.
"I know, I know!" The little girl couldn't stay by her father's side. She and Lan Xin pushed their father's hands away. The two little girls held hands and ran away with a smile.
Yang Yi watched them run away to play before he looked away and read his book.
"Welcome." Another customer came. Recently, the coffee shop's business had been better. It was probably because it was winter. It was very enjoyable to drink a warm cup of tea.
Ding Xiang greeted the new customer. He was a student wearing glasses, but the lenses were almost as thick as the bottom of a beer bottle. His clothes were slightly old-fashioned. He wore a rough plaid shirt and grayish-blue cotton pants. He looked exactly like a person in a photo from more than 30 years ago.
But Ding Xiang definitely wouldn't agree to say that he was poor. The watch on his wrist and the leather shoes on his feet weren't cheap. He wasn't particularly rich, but he should be in the middle class. He was much better than Ding Xiang in the past. But his taste was probably comparable to the mother of a female celebrity who had participated in the Beijing Olympics..
Ding Xiang introduced the coffee in the shop to him, but the boy frowned. He pushed up his glasses, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the menu for a while. Then, he said unhappily, "Why is the coffee in your shop so expensive? Compared to East Gate's coffee, it's a lot more! "
Ding Xiang had encountered this problem many times. She smiled and patiently explained, "It's like this. Our shop sells freshly ground coffee. It's hand-ground coffee beans that have been roasted..."
Before Ding Xiang could finish, the boy interrupted, "I'm talking to you about the price. Why are you talking to me about freshly ground coffee? Tell me, do you usually have very few customers? "
Ding Xiang was a little stunned.
"That's right!" The boy didn't wait for Ding Xiang to answer. With a proud face, he continued, "I'll analyze the reason for you. Don't be too grateful. Just treat me to a cup of coffee later!"
He didn't see Ding Xiang's speechless expression at all. "According to the Bourbon Water Theorem. Forget it. It seems like you don't understand this professional economic term. Anyway, you just need to know that you're doing a student business. But what are you selling? Freshly ground coffee?
"Of course, it doesn't matter what kind of freshly ground coffee you sell, but in the price range of 10 to 20 yuan, what kind of products do you have that can compete with your competitors for customers in this price range? None! "
The commotion over there also attracted Yang Yi's attention, but he had no intention of interfering. It's not a big deal. Let Ding Xiang handle it!
"We have cupcakes." Ding Xiang couldn't help but say.
"I'm talking about coffee. Why are you talking to me about cake?" The boy looked as if he expected better from her. "I'm here to buy coffee, and you're recommending a cake to me. Are you stupid or am I stupid to buy your cake?"
Today, the boy acted as if he was an expert and wanted to persuade Ding Xiang to sell instant coffee. He talked for a long time. Ding Xiang's personality was good. If it were someone else …
"Although what you said makes sense, I'm really sorry. Our shop only sells instant coffee. Bah, only freshly ground coffee." Ding Xiang was dizzy from his words and almost got confused. "This is the rule set by our boss."
"Stupid and stubborn. You can't be taught. You can't be taught!" The boy looked at Ding Xiang with disdain and shook his head, but he still took out the money. "Forget it. Give me a cup of that thirty-yuan mocha. I don't have time to go to East Gate. By the way, I've told you so much. Did you get any inspiration … Ouch! "
The boy who wanted to take the opportunity to ask for a discount suddenly cried out as if someone had stepped on his foot. He turned around and lowered his head. Through his thick glasses, he glared at Xi Xi, who was still a little dizzy and sitting on the ground.
It turned out that Xi Xi and Lan Xin were chasing each other and ran past. In a moment of carelessness, Xi Xi bumped into his leg.
"Hey, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Xi Xi, are you hurt?" Ding Xiang hurriedly ran out. She squatted down and picked up Xi Xi from the ground while apologizing to the boy.
"Is it okay to be sorry? My calf almost got a cramp from the collision! " The boy's "ferocious" face made Xi Xi and Lan Xin a little scared. Lan Xin nervously leaned toward Xi Xi, who was leaning in Ding Xiang's arms.
"I'm sorry …" Xi Xi mumbled softly. She felt that she had gotten into trouble. However, she felt a little wronged because of the boy's fierce attitude. Moreover, the little girl's butt was already hurting from the fall. Now, she was scared, nervous, and worried. She pursed her lips and was about to cry.
Yang Yi originally didn't want to pay attention to what was going on here. He felt that the boy was a clown and couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him. However, Ding Xiang's cry attracted his attention from reading again.
Xi Xi fell?
"Where did this little girl come from? Don't you have any manners?" The boy was a little unforgiving. He pointed his finger and scolded Xi Xi. Then, he turned his attention to Ding Xiang. "What kind of place is a coffee shop? It's a quiet, elegant, healthy, and hygienic place. How could you allow these uneducated little girls and these smelly cats to come in? I don't think your shop will last long, right? "
"Xiao Guai is not smelly!" Xi Xi was already sobbing softly. She turned her head to her sister Ding Xiang and argued.
"You keep saying uneducated. Have you been living on a dog's body for so many years? No, I can't insult a dog … "Yang Yi's voice was cold. Even if it was a cold joke, it wasn't funny at all. His words carried a murderous aura." If you say another word, see if I'll tear your mouth apart! "
She's my daughter. I can't even bear to scold her, and you're teaching her a lesson for me?
Thinking of this, Yang Yi was furious. When he stood up, he fiercely punched the table. A thin crack appeared on the solid wood table.
Seeing Yang Yi's burly figure, the boy immediately swallowed the rest of his curses back into his stomach and kept quiet out of fear.
Yang Yi walked over. Ignoring him, he squatted down and took Xi Xi into his arms. When he looked at his daughter, the coldness on his face melted. He smiled gently and asked softly, "Xi Xi, where did you fall?"
The little girl felt a lot more at ease in her father's arms. She pouted, touched her little butt, and said, "My butt hurts."
Yang Yi rubbed his daughter's butt and then kissed her little face. He smiled and whispered in her ear in a voice only his daughter could hear, "Don't be afraid. Dad will help you vent your anger. No one in this world can be fierce to our Xi Xi."
Just when Yang Yi was being gentle with his daughter, the boy breathed a sigh of relief. However, he didn't dare to provoke Yang Yi again. The height and figure of the two were much different.
"Forget it. I won't argue with you!" He turned and walked out of the door, muttering in a low voice, "Such a shabby shop will be closed sooner or later!"
However, Yang Yi's ears were very sharp. He heard everything clearly. However, he wasn't in a hurry to stop him. He walked casually and let the guy run 39 meters first.
The boy had already slipped out. Yang Yi pulled Lan Xin over and comforted her. Then, he handed the two little girls to Ding Xiang. "Ding Xiang, help me take care of Xi Xi and Xin Er."
"Brother Yang Yi, what are you going to do?" Ding Xiang pulled Yang Yi's hand anxiously.
"Don't worry. Someone's head is hot because of the cold weather. I'll let him soak in the hot water to calm down." Yang Yi smiled and patted Ding Xiang's hand. Then, he winked at the little girl who had stopped crying but was still crying. "Xi Xi, cover your eyes. Repeat 10 times until 30. Dad will be back soon."
Xi Xi had learned to count from 1 to 30 in kindergarten. The little girl wiped her tears and nodded confusedly.
"Xin 'er too, you have to cover your eyes!" Yang Yi patted Lan Xin's little head and reminded her that the scene might be very violent and not suitable for children. Then, he walked out.
