Ideal country

On an ordinary afternoon in April, flowers bloomed all over the small garden by the side of the road, and the sun was so bright that it looked like gold that could be picked up everywhere.

The young man stood at the door of this cafe named "Utopia" for a long time, took a deep breath, and then pushed open the door of the cafe.

This is not an ordinary cafe, but a cat cafe. It is not the irresistible coffee that attracts customers to drink coffee, but these irresistible little cuties.

Today is not the weekend, the cafe is rarely deserted, there is no one customer in the shop, only the owner is sitting at the table reading a book, even the cats jumping up and down around him can't disturb him.

The young man pushed open the door, and with the crisp sound of the wind chime hanging on the handle, the shop became strangely quiet.Those who were sleeping by the window opened their eyes, and those who jumped up and down suddenly stopped, but without exception, they didn't make a sound.The man who was reading the book raised his eyes and looked over, glanced at the cats who were not reacting normally, put down the book, went to the bar to get the menu, and led the young man to a seat by the window to sit down.

"What would you like to order?" The man spread out the menu in front of the young man.

The young man closed the menu and looked up at the man: "Hi, I'm not here for dinner, I'm here to apply for a job."

Hearing this, the man gently opened the stool and sat down opposite him: "Our store is not short of manpower for the time being."

The young man panicked for a moment, this was not at all what he had expected, and all his plans were disrupted: "What? Is there no shortage? I, I, I... I can do many things, and there is really no shortage of people ?"

Seeing his nervous incoherent appearance, the man wanted to laugh a little: "Then tell me first, what can you do?"

"I...I can wash the dishes and order food! I can also feed the cats!"

"Have you worked in the industry before?"

"what?"

"Did you do this before?" The man was not impatient and asked patiently.

The young man froze for a moment: "No, but I've seen others do it, so I can do it too..."

"Anything else?"

"I...can bathe the cat..." The young man's voice became weaker again, and he muttered in a barely audible volume, "I can't...you can lie down and be petted..."

The man didn't understand the second part of the sentence: "Dishwashers are enough, I can do feeding and bathing myself, if you have nothing else to do, then you can only..."

The young man was in a hurry and interrupted: "Wait!"

The man stopped and stared at the young man in front of him seriously.

The young man looked at the man seriously: "I can speak cat language, and I can understand what cats are saying."

He carefully and cautiously noticed whether there was any look of disdain and sarcasm in the man's eyes, but the man's expression did not change, he just asked him indifferently: "How to prove it?"

The young man breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but smile: "Look."

The young man stood up and wanted to find a cat, but found that all the cats were squatting around the two of them very well, watching them motionlessly.

The young man picked up a white kitten and stroked it gently. The kitten let out a "purr" from its throat comfortably, and the young man then translated: "She said she was very comfortable being touched by me like this."

The man looked at him unchanged.

The kitten meowed twice more, and the young man said, "She said the sun was so warm that she wanted to sleep."

The kitten arched the young man's hand comfortably, and narrowed his eyes. The young man looked up at the man happily, as if he was in need of praise. The kind that is too homely.

The man stared at the young man's not-so-tidy clothes, as well as those still clear and bright eyes, and sighed silently in his heart: "Let's stay."

The young man was so happy that he hugged the kitten and couldn't help jumping up: "Really?"

The man dug out a labor contract from the drawer of the bar and sat down in front of the young man again: "Where's the ID card? Let me take a look. Are you an adult?"

The young man rummaged through his pocket for a long time, took out his ID card, and handed it over: "I'm an adult!"

The man stared at the photo of the young man with a grinning mouthful of white teeth on his ID card, beside which was written the young man's name—Huo Ke squarely.She is eighteen years old, but she still looks like a minor.

"If you don't, you have to learn, can you accept it?"

"Yes!" Huo Ke agreed.

"Is it okay to eat 2500 packs a month?"

"Yes!" Huo Ke still deserved it simply.

"You..." The man was about to say something, when he raised his eyes and saw the young man's two bulging pockets filled with odds and ends, "Do you have a place to live?"

Huo Ke shook his head, still looking at him.

The man lowered his head silently and said while writing: "It's guaranteed, the rent will be deducted from the salary." After he finished writing, he handed over the contract, "Take a look, if there is no problem, sign it here."

Huo Ke signed it without even looking at it, and handed it to the man. The man also signed his name, put down his pen and stretched out his hand: "I forgot to introduce myself, my name is..."

Huo Ke smiled slyly, and before he finished speaking, he grabbed his hand: "I know, your name is Xing Ye."

This is the first time this afternoon the man's face showed a dazed expression: "You..."

"How long do you think I've been watching you?"

In the evening, Wen Pei, who was working part-time in Utopia, was pleasantly surprised to find that there was another waiter in the store, and he was a pretty little brother.

Seeing Wen Pei coming, Xing Ye introduced to her: "This is the new Huo Ke, there are not many people tonight, so you should take him with you."

Wen Pei responded straightforwardly, and said generously: "Hello, my name is Wen Pei, and you can ask me if you don't know anything."

Huo Ke shook hands with her: "Thank you, I will study hard."

In fact, in the afternoon, taking advantage of not being busy, Xing Ye had roughly explained to Huo Ke what to do.

Huo Ke was very smart, although he had never done it before, he got started very quickly, and with Wen Pei's teaching, he became more and more proficient.

Being a waiter in Utopia is actually not very hard work. Special chefs are responsible for cakes and drinks. In fact, the waiters only need to order, serve drinks and snacks, and clear the table.Of course, there is another very important job to take care of the most important treasure in the store to prevent accidents.

Although they will explain the precautions to customers before ordering, there are also customers who do not listen to persuasion. They take pictures of cats with flashlights and feed them snacks and drinks from time to time.

Of course, most of the customers are people who love cats and follow the rules.

Huo Ke's first night's work ended smoothly, and Xing Ye was quite satisfied with him.Wen Pei packed up his things, said goodbye to him and Xing Ye, and left. Huo Ke accompanied Xing Ye to close the door, and then asked, "Where do I live tonight?"

Xing Ye only said, "Come with me."
