"is the boss around?"
While Kuroki Ren was wandering away, a guest came in.
"Yes, please...do you need anything else?" Kuroki Ren stood up and found that the person coming was a customer he had seen before.
"Ah, you still remember me." The girl was extremely surprised. "My name is Suzuki Sonoko, and this is my friend Mao Lilan. Please tell me your name."
"...Kuroki Ren."
"How old is Mr. Kuroki Jin this year?" Suzuki Sonoko's eyes were bright.
"Almost twenty." Kuroki Jin said with a smile, "Where are Miss Suzuki and Miss Mori?"
"We are first-year students at Teidan High School." Suzuki Sonoko answered first, "Mr. Kuroki is young and promising, and he has opened such a good store."
"Fortunately, I didn't expect it to be so popular. It might only be today. After all, it's on sale today."
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Kuroki, we delayed your business." Mao Lilan on the side looked a little worried. Although his words were apologizing to Kuroki, they reminded Yuanzi to pay attention.
"No, there are no guests coming right now." Kuroki Ren chuckled, "If you two are tired, you can sit here for a while, it won't be in the way."
Suzuki Sonoko excitedly pulled Xiaolan to sit on the chair closest to the counter. After thinking about it for a while, she felt that just sitting was not good, so she ordered two more cups of milk tea.
"Milk tea contains a lot of calories. If girls are concerned about their weight, it's best to drink less. You two already ordered one cup at noon. Is it okay to have another cup?" Kuroki Jin kindly reminded.
"But..." Of course Yuanzi knew this, but she was a little embarrassed to sit in a store without ordering anything.
"If the two guests want to drink something, I'll go to the back and pour you a glass of lemonade." Kuroki Ren is the most considerate person. Before Sonoko could say anything, he shouted to the back: "Yuki, you Come and receive the guests.”
"Okay boss."
Kuroki Ren walked to the kitchen, his smile gradually fading. He turned around and could vaguely see the silhouettes of the two of them through the curtains... which overlapped with the silhouettes from long ago.
He didn't expect that meeting him again would be like this, but fortunately, time passed so long that the two of them didn't seem to recognize him, which was fortunate.
Kuroki squeezed out the lemon pulp and put it into a cup. He also took a little rock sugar powder and honey to adjust the taste. Considering that there was enough air conditioning in the room, he made the lemonade warm before taking it out.
"Here." Putting the lemonade on the table, Kuroki Ren took a step back and said, "Take it easy, you two."
"Wow, he is so gentle." Yuanzi waited for Kuroki Ren to take a few steps before whispering to Xiaolan, the happiness in his words almost overflowing.
Xiaolan comforted her friend and looked at Kuroki inside the counter with her peripheral vision.
"I always feel like I've seen his face before somewhere."
When the sales were counted that night, Yuki was very happy to tell Kuroki Jin that they had only earned more than 5,000 yen after a day of hard work and were exhausted. This was not even half of the average income calculated last year. Kuroki Jin felt that it was necessary to carefully consider whether to continue operating.
If this goes on without making any money, people will die from exhaustion.
"Today is only the first day and it's already very good to have so many. And because the price has been halved, our actual profit has been reduced by about two-thirds. It will be much better when the price returns to normal in a few days." Anayuki Norio She handed in the bill, half to comfort and half to cheer herself up, "Besides, school hasn't started yet, and there will be more people after all students go to school in two days."
"I'm so tired." This small amount of money is nothing to Kuroki Ren, "Do you think it's feasible for me to hire someone else and then become the shopkeeper myself?"
"Then what's the difference between this and ordinary investment and website building?" Mead Soul asked.
"There's no difference..." Kuroki Ren was depressed, "If I had known I would open a longevity food store, why do I have to think about it?"
"Shoucai shop?"
"It's nothing." Kuroki Ren yawned, "Go home, go home, I have to go to work tomorrow..."
"Yes!" Kuroki Ren suddenly stood up, startling Xi Ji. "Our candy shop needs to be open every day!"
"if not?"
"Do you know what this means?" Kuroki Ren looked at Anaisuki blankly, and the latter showed a question mark expression in cooperation.
"This means our job is 007!"
Kuroki Jin felt that the rest of his life would not be wonderful.
Anayuki was too lazy to pay attention to him and said goodbye to herself, leaving Kuroki alone.
Kuroki Ren shut himself up for a while. He sat there and deeply reflected on the immaturity of his behavior. He felt that there was no chance of remediation and could only sigh. He got up and habitually checked the safety of the room and confirmed that there were no "special props". ” Then he closed the shop and left.
Today is only the first day of business. They will not start the subsequent work until they can cope with the previous work.
…
Students in the Didan School District quickly adapted to having a candy store nearby. They found that the candy house opened very early. Although there was only milk tea in the morning, it was enough for middle and high school students to buy a cup to satisfy their hunger.
The primary school students fell in love with the candy house because of the candies.
The candies are made by Kuroki Jin himself. One of them is that they are unique on the market. The other is that they can be retailed individually and the price is cheap. The third is that they are delicious and come in a variety of flavors. All in all, they are loved by children.
Kuroki likes children very much. He feels that children are like seeds that have just emerged from the ground, with infinite possibilities. He likes watching them grow every day.
Children who come here to buy candies are roughly divided into two categories. One type is brought by their parents, and Kuromu will not care about it. The other type comes with their own money, and Kuromu is always worried at this time. They eat too much sugar and get toothaches.
Especially a chubby child. Every time he came, he would ask his mother to buy a lot, and then he would come again within a few days after returning. After a few times, Kuroki intervened to stop him from eating more candies.
"What? I don't do any business to make money." The little fat man pouted dissatisfiedly, but the mother next to him looked at Kuroki with good intentions.
"Eating too much sugar will cause tooth decay." Kuroki laughed. "At that time, your mother will take you to a place full of disinfectant. There will be a man in white clothes who will hold something like an electric drill and put it in your mouth." There's a buzzing sound in your mouth, and it won't stop until it makes a hole in your teeth."
Kuroki's description was so vivid that the little fat boy immediately ran to his mother with tears in his eyes to seek comfort. Kuromu looked at this harmonious scene with a smile, and a slight trace of envy flashed in his heart.
"Mr. Kuroki is so gentle." The mother said to Kuroki after sending her son to grab two handfuls of candies at most.
"I quite like children." Kuroki smiled slightly, "If you buy so many candies for your child every time because you don't have time to come here every day, you can let him take it by himself until he has time. Come over and check out together. Or give the child some change every day. Don’t worry, I won’t let him take too much.”
