Stall setting starts from Malatang

221 Chapter 220, milk tea

“Delicious is delicious, but a bit expensive.”

After drinking and eating, Ye Chao picked the food residue between his teeth with a toothpick, and said vaguely.

In his view, buying a mobile phone or a car is a waste of money, while eating, drinking and having fun is a complete waste of money, which is outrageous.At least a mobile phone and a car have a physical object, and it is also face-saving to go on a blind date, but no matter how expensive or delicious the food is, the final product will be the same after eating it in the stomach.

As a 26-year-old older man in rural areas, Ye Chao will weigh whether it is helpful for marriage no matter what he does.

In his view, food is just a vassal of some kind of ritual.For example, solemn ceremonies such as promotion and salary increase, festivals, marriage and education, need food to add to the fun.Eating just for the sake of eating is simply too extravagant.

To put it bluntly, he is still used to being poor, and he is not willing to spend money.

"Go buy a cup of milk tea."

The van passed by Zhenqian Street on the way home. Lin Xiaojian saw a milk tea chain store not far away. Thinking of the cup of barley milk with taro paste that Lin Sisi invited himself to drink a while ago, the milk was rich and the taro paste was sweet.

"What's so good about milk tea? It's expensive and unhealthy."

Ye Chao habitually complained that, like the older generation, he couldn't understand all drinks, but his attitude towards wine was different.

After all, he still turned on the turn signal and pulled over.

"Have a cup of taro paste and highland barley... Huh?"

"Xiao Shuang, why do you work here?"

This milk tea shop has the same sign as the milk tea shop that Lin Sisi invited him to drink last time, with white characters on a black background, and a circle around the ancient characters to form a logo. It seems to be the same brand.Lin Xiaojian was preparing to order, and found that the figure of the cashier was very familiar.

"Ah, Boss Xiaojian."

Xia Xiaoshuang, who is wearing work clothes from a milk tea shop, looks pretty and has her hair tied into a ponytail. She looks as friendly as the girl next door.A few months after she came out, she gradually lost her nerdy childishness and became more girlish.

Xia Xiaoshuang seemed to have told herself on WeChat that she had found another job... I didn't expect to come across this, it was really destined.Lin Xiaojian was emotional, smiled at her, and ordered a glass of regular pearl milk green for brother Chao step by step, but he was told that there was no such drink as taro paste and highland barley milk.

"Try a lemon red, it's the best in our store."

Seeing the disappointed expression on Lin Xiaojian's face, Xia Xiaoshuang recommended it professionally.

"Then... let's do it."

After Lin Xiaojian came to Fengzhou, he only drank milk tea once, which was the taro paste and highland barley milk that Lin Sisi invited. He didn't know what else to drink.I suddenly became interested today, and wanted to order a drink for aftertaste. Since I don't have one, let's try what Xia Xiaoshuang recommended.

"How is the working environment here? Is it tiring to stand all the time?"

While waiting for the milk tea to be made, Lin Xiaojian and Xia Xiaoshuang chatted.

"It's more tiring than a factory, but it's more free."

According to regulations, the cashier also helps to make milk tea when no one is ordering, but when the colleague saw that the visitor was an acquaintance of Xia Xiaoshuang, and he was a handsome boy, he smiled narrowly at her and asked her to accompany him at the bar. Need her help.

"The first few days when I first came here, I was very tired. After work, I felt that my feet didn't belong to me anymore. Now I'm used to it. It's okay. I get tired when I get tired. At least 3 days a month are completely my own."

There are many rules in chain stores. People must stand in front of the bar, and no one has to stand. Standing for 9 hours a day is much more tiring than sitting and packing in the workshop.The advantage is that going to work is going to work, and rest is rest, unlike factories that do not rest all year round. For playful girls, it is like going to jail.

"That's not bad!"

Lin Xiaojian felt the same way. He set up a stall to be the boss in name, but from another point of view, he was bound to work in the stall and had to sell the stall every day.Although you can play with your mobile phone or sleep on your stomach when you are not busy, it is a completely different experience compared to the complete relaxation and free allocation of time during the holidays.

The two chatted casually, and when the milk tea was ready, Lin Xiaojian had no reason to continue standing and chatting, so he picked up the milk tea and said goodbye.After he left, a colleague came over with a smile and asked quietly, "Is this your boyfriend?"

"No! Don't talk nonsense."

Xia Xiaoshuang was taken aback, and quickly clarified: "It's from the same village."

"Why aren't your boyfriend talking so vigorously?"

The colleague muttered and said, "Since you are from the same village, if you can meet together, it proves that you are destined. I think you two get along quite well. Why don't you go on a date with someone you don't know? It's more reliable than going on a blind date with someone you don't know."

Xia Xiaoshuang's colleague is from northern Hunan. He has a warm personality and says whatever comes to his mind.

In the perspective of migrant workers, fellow villagers are a very reliable group, second only to relatives, and making friends is a priority.A considerable number of migrant workers have come together with fellow villagers, and the two sides naturally have a sense of identity in terms of customs and habits.

Most migrant workers still have very traditional ideas. When they get old, they should find a partner, get married, have children, and complete their life mission.Nowadays, more and more urbanites are actively choosing to live a single life.

"Don't talk nonsense, she is the boss, and I am a working girl."

Xia Xiaoshuang said casually, thinking that saying this would dispel the enthusiasm of his colleagues.

"He is the boss at such a young age, so he is a potential stock! What are you doing? Is he doing CNC machining?"

Hearing what she said, the colleague became even more curious and asked after her.

"He's in charge of catering, and he's over there in Beishan Village."

"Isn't that just right? You both work in catering, and you will be his good wife by then."

The colleague said reluctantly: "What is he selling? Next time you take me to eat, I will check for you. From the food made by a man, you can see his character."

Once a woman starts to gossip, the problems are endless.

"Is this milk tea?"

Back in the car, Ye Chao curiously took the milk tea that Lin Xiaojian handed over, looked it up and down, and felt that the packaging was quite delicate, unlike some products in their factory, which were sent out in a snakeskin bag.

Of course he has heard of milk tea, but there are no shops in the industrial area, and he only drinks instant ones like Xiang Piaopiao, and he doesn't have the leisure and elegance to go to the professional milk tea shops in the town to drink.

"It costs more than ten yuan for such a small amount, so it's better to drink a few more bottles of Coke."

Ye Chao took the straw and pricked it, but instead of pricking it in, several drops of milk tea splashed on his clothes, and couldn't help complaining.

"What are you drinking? Why is it different from mine? Is it also milk tea?"

He took a sip, felt the sweet and astringent taste on the tip of his tongue, and his brows uncontrollably stretched.Seeing the orange drink in Lin Xiaojian's hand, there is a small green lemon floating in it. The color goes from light to dark from top to bottom, exuding a refreshing breath of summer, and he couldn't help but wonder.

"I have a glass of lemon red, which is lemon juice. It's sweet and sour. It's different from milk tea. It tastes quite refreshing."

Lin Xiaojian introduced to Brother Chao, looking at the drink recommended by Xia Xiaoshuang, he couldn't help but think of Lin Sisi, who also loves to drink ancient tea.The two drinks seem to represent the different styles of the two girls.
