The fate of the stars

The sun on Sunday was a bit dazzling, as if a sharp sword had pierced people's eyes.

At seven o'clock, Ming Yin and Mercury Mirror came to the door of the student apartment, ready to go to the Holy City Island, "Ha~, I'm so sleepy, master, is it necessary to wake up so early?" Mercury Mirror rubbed his sleepy eyes, still in a daze .

"Of course, let's go early so we can figure out a way."

In fact, last night, Mingyin was really worried about the situation of the coffee shop, so she decided to set off today to find a solution.

Sit in the carriage, come to the commercial street of Shengcheng Island, and find the store based on memory.

Walking into the store, there is a deserted atmosphere.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?" Ming Yin called out loudly.

"Yes, yes, come, come!" The voice came from the workshop, and the old man opened the curtain and walked out. After seeing Ming Yin, he said kindly: "Hey, isn't this the little girl from yesterday? What, today Is there something going on here?"

Mingyin stepped forward and bowed to the old man, "Grandpa, please let me help you!" The old man was obviously a little puzzled, "What can you help me?"

Mingyin looked around, with a sad face, "Yesterday, I thought about it for a long time. I think it's a pity that no one appreciates such delicious coffee, so I want to help you today, so that the coffee shop can be reborn."

The old man waved his hand with a smile, "No, thank you for your kindness. In fact, in a few days, I plan to sell this coffee shop and return home."

"How could this be!" Mingyin was obviously agitated, the old man shook his head helplessly, Mercury Mirror came over, pulled Mingyin's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Master, I don't think there is any possibility of this store being reborn. No, let's forget it!"

Hearing what Mercury Mirror said, Ming Yin seemed a little disappointed, and sat down on the red leather sofa by the window feeling sad.

Seeing Ming Yin like this, the old man walked forward with a smile, "Little girl, don't be sad, maybe it's not a bad thing for me to give up this shop, so how about it, you are my customers today, I will make coffee for you for free, Let’s say goodbye.” After speaking, the old man went into the workshop again.

Mercury Mirror sat across from Mingyin, seeing Mingyin's unhappy expression, felt a little pain in his heart.After a while, the old man came out with a coffee cup, put it on the table, and said with a smile as if he was entertaining a guest: "Miss, this is our specialty coffee, please taste it slowly." After speaking, he stood with his hands down Standing aside, Ming Yin didn't care, but Mercury mirror took a sip of coffee and immediately put down the coffee cup and said excitedly: "Master, I have decided, I must bring this coffee shop back to life."

"Ah!" Mingyin was a little surprised by the 180-degree transformation of the mercury mirror.

"This cup of coffee is full-bodied and has a special taste blended in it. The faint milky aroma is matched with the bitterness of the coffee. It's like tasting life. After drinking it, people will linger and forget to return."

The old man clapped his hands and said happily: "Oh, little girl, you are very good. You can tell the fortune of this coffee right away."

Mercury mirror scratched his head shyly, "Not really, just telling the truth."

Hearing what Mercury Mirror said, Mingyin also picked up the coffee and savored it carefully. The impetuousness and worries in her heart disappeared in an instant, and the wireless light of hope was ushered in.

"Mercury Mirror is right, we must bring this store back to life, grandpa, let us have a try!"

The old man shook his head helplessly, calmed down and said confidently: "Okay, let's fight one last time!"

"come on!"

Putting on the store's clerk uniform, Mingyin walked to the mirror. It was a low-cut maid outfit with a skirt that was short to the knees, highlighting her temptation, while Mercury Mirror's maid outfit highlighted her cuteness.

"Ah, this skirt is too short, it's chilly underneath." Mercury mirror shyly pulled down the corner of the skirt.

"I'm sorry, this was worn by the clerk a long time ago, and the current ones have been disposed of because they didn't do a good job of moisture-proofing and moldy." The old man said ashamedly.

"It's okay, grandpa, this is enough." Ming Yin replied with a smile.

At this time, Mercury Mirror suddenly thought, "Master, I'm thinking that the coffee from the store manager can be sold, so that I don't have to be confined to one place."

"Sell it?" Ming Yin pondered, "By the way, grandpa, can you grind the spices and coffee beans into powder and put them in a bag for me?"

"Of course, just wait a moment!" The old man walked into the workshop and began to work. The mercury mirror asked suspiciously, "Master, why are you grinding the coffee into powder?"

Mingyin kept it a secret, "You will find out after a while."

After a while, the old man put the ground coffee powder in a bag and gave it to Mingyin. After thanking the old man, Mingyin took the alcohol lamp for making coffee and walked out of the shop with the mercury mirror to the fountain in the center of the commercial street. With a puzzled face, "Master, why don't we just sell it in front of the store?" Mingyin replied, "You should choose a place where the crowd is lively, so that you can get good profits."

"I see." Mercury Mirror nodded understandingly.

"Mercury mirror, can you conjure up a table and some coffee cups?" Mingyin asked, "Of course I can, master, it's a trivial matter."

The mercury mirror snapped a dozen fingers, and a round table covered with a white cloth appeared in front of the eyes. Several coffee cups were neatly placed in the upper left corner, simple yet dignified.

"Okay, let's do it!"

Mingyin lit the alcohol lamp, poured water into the kettle, put it on the alcohol lamp and boiled it, then poured the coffee powder into the coffee cup, poured the boiled water into the cup, stirred, and the fragrance instantly wafted wantonly and refreshed the heart.

"It smells so good, Master, how did you do it?" Mercury Mirror asked with wide-eyed eyes.

Ming Yin picked up the coffee and explained, "Actually, this method of making coffee is very popular in my world, I just borrowed it."

At this time, the fragrance has attracted many people to watch, a man came over, "Hmm, it smells so good, little girl, can you try this coffee of yours?"

"Of course, please use." Mingyin made a gesture of please and replied with a smile.

The man picked up a cup and sipped it. Everyone around them held their breaths and waited for the result. Ming Yin and Mercury Mirror were also extremely nervous, their hearts were in their throats.

"Well, Good, very delicious, rich and mellow, it is a rare taste."

"Really?" Mingyin asked hastily.

The man nodded, Ming Yin and Mercury Mirror jumped up and down happily.

"Well, please let me have a drink too."

"I want it too, I want it too." The crowd immediately rushed up to each other, busy Ming Yin and Mercury mirror were in a hurry, "Please don't shoot, we still have a lot of coffee."

Mingyin didn't expect that the old man's coffee would be so popular, nor did she expect that everyone would be so enthusiastic.

"Excuse me, can I have a refill?" the man just now asked.

Ming Yin took another cup of coffee and replied with a smile, "Of course, if you still want to drink, please go to the discretionary coffee shop at No. 114 Commercial Street. The coffee there has more flavors and tastes better than the one here."

The man took the coffee, nodded with a smile, "Well, I'll check it out later, thank you."

The pleasant time in the afternoon came gradually, and everyone's enthusiasm was still the same. Ming Yin and Mercury Mirror introduced the coffee shop while handing over free coffee, and it was a little too much after a while.

"Isn't this Miss Mingyin? Why are you here with Shenglong?" A familiar voice came from the crowd, and Mingyin turned his gaze to see Qingqiong and Youlian.

"Master Qingqiong, Youlian, why are you here?" Mingyin was extremely surprised, "This is what we should ask you, Mingyin, why do you sell coffee here? Let me tell you, I will help you!" Youlian walked over and said.

"Actually, it's like this..."

Ming Yin told Qing Qiong and You Li'an the whole story carefully.

"So that's the case, then let's help, okay brother?" Youlian raised her head to look at Qing Qiong, Qing Qiong nodded and joined in.

Thanks to the help of Qingqiong and Youlian, the coffee sold out quickly.

"Youlian, Lord Qingqiong, thank you." Mingyin bowed to thank you, Qingqiong waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's nothing, just a little favor."

"Master, let's go back to the store to see how the income is!" Mercury Mirror packed up his things and was about to leave, Ming Yin nodded, "That's right, if only our place sells well, and the store sells more If it’s not good, it’s useless.”

Back in the store, the scene was completely different from before Mingyin left. There were so many people that the old man was too busy.

"Boss, have another drink." A guest shouted.

"Come on, come on, this guest asked you to wait, please use it." The old man handed over the coffee and said with a smile.

Seeing Mingyin's figure, the old man walked over excitedly and held her hand tightly, "Little girl, thank you, thank you, you have brought my shop back to life again, an old man like me never thought that such a day would come! "

Mingyin looked at the old man with a smile, and said in a sweet voice: "You don't have to thank my grandfather, so many people came because everyone agreed that your coffee is delicious. In contrast, if your coffee is not good at all It doesn’t taste good, and there is no real talent at all, even if it is heavily publicized, no one will come.”

"Yes, yes, little girl, you really taught me a philosophy lesson in life!" The old man was obviously very grateful for Ming Yin's help, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes.

"Boss, order."

"Oh, here we come." The old man hurried over to entertain, and Mingyin cheered up and said confidently: "Okay, Mercury Mirror, let's help too!"

Mercury Mirror nodded.

"Brother, let's come too." Qing Qiong nodded, and You Li'an changed into the clerk's clothes. The boy's clerk's clothes are black suits. Dressing is simply my uncle's favorite.

As a result, everyone was busy until five o'clock in the afternoon before closing. There were a few times when Qing Qiong went outside the store to take out the trash, which attracted countless girls to turn back, and added some female customers by the way.

After cleaning everything, everyone slumped on the sofa, "I'm so tired, it feels like I've done five years of work." Mercury Mirror said weakly.

"That's right, I haven't been so tired for a long time!" Youlian continued.The old man came over with coffee on a plate and looked at them with a smile, "Come on, everyone is lucky, drink some coffee to refresh yourself."

"Thank you." Everyone took the coffee cups and replied in unison.

"By the way, little girl, I haven't even asked your name yet?" The old man sat down, looked at Ming Yin, and Ming Yin said with a smile: "My name is Ming Yin, and her name is Mercury Mirror? L? Bingshuang, this It's Yulian? Icarus and Qingqiong? Lord Icarus."

"Oh, so these two are the eldest son and the second lady of the Icarus family. It's really wonderful to have you here." The old man bowed, and Qing Qiong immediately motioned for the old man to get up, "Old man, don't do this, Since we have come to your store, we are your clerks, so don't be restrained."

"Hehehe, Lord Icarus, you will definitely be an excellent leader in the future."

Afterwards, Mingyin got half of the profit, but Mingyin didn't want it, so the old man insisted on giving it to her, and said that if she didn't want it, she would sell the shop immediately. There was no other way, Mingyin had to accept it, a total of 1000 grams.

Coins in different worlds are calculated on the basis of kri: one kri is equal to one hundred fares, and ten kri is equal to one period of interest.

Farley is generally used to make some trivial transactions, Klee can be used to buy some more expensive things, and Qili is used to take cross-sea airships and buy and sell land and houses.

"Then let's go, grandpa, I wish you a prosperous business in the future." After changing back to their previous clothes, Mingyin walked to the door of the store to say goodbye to the old man.

The old man gave everyone a bag of coffee and watched them leave until they disappeared at the end of the street. When they returned to the store, the old man hung up the closed sign and went to the counter to sober their glasses.

At this moment, the glass door was pushed open, the welcome bell rang, and the old man said without raising his head, "I'm sorry for this guest, we are already closed."

But the man continued to come, until he said: "Long time no see, Bites? you!!!"
