Mr. Fox in the cake shop

Chapter 1 The Man in the Black Trench Coat

It is said that men who can make cakes love life, because their pace of life is slow, and they can spend a long time figuring out the pattern and taste of a cake, so they are careful and patient in their work, and every piece of cake they make is full of love.

Gu Xiyang also makes cakes, but he is forced by life.

He made cakes very quickly, because the store was understaffed and had to increase efficiency.

Especially in the past few days when there are so many people, he has to get up at four o'clock every morning and make a batch first, so as to ensure the daily demand, otherwise the supply will exceed the demand.

In fact, his store is not big at all, only two to three hundred square meters in total, minus the kitchen and bathroom storage room and the countertops for displaying dessert samples, the rest of the leisure seating area is pitiful, with only a few groups of simple sofas , the style is simple, the price is not expensive, and it matches the decoration style of the store with a bit of petty bourgeoisie.This probably has something to do with his previous work. Before opening the dessert shop, Gu Xiyang had done interior design for a few years, and he had done a lot of public decoration and home decoration. Due to his professional habits, his own shop naturally had to work hard. To achieve both Save money and have emotional appeal.

Because it is a fashionable dessert shop, the customers here are basically young people, mostly students, boys with backpacks and girls in plaid miniskirts.

Their consumption level is limited, and most people will not buy too expensive ones. Some of them can sit in the store for a long time, even an afternoon, for as long as a mousse worth more than ten yuan, because there is WI-FI in the store, even if Sitting around will never be boring.

Gu Xiyang opens at nine o'clock every morning. This area is a commercial area, and many stores are open 24 hours. It's already a bit late at nine o'clock.

There are two waiters and one cashier in the store. The waiters are temporary workers, and there will be a few more during the holidays. Anyway, they are billed by the hour. The cashier Xiao Zheng is resident, and he is the only cake maker, so Overall he is both the owner and the chef.When he is not busy, he can take care of it by himself, and even sit in the store in the afternoon.Due to some accidents in the past few days, the number of patrons has increased sharply, so he is a little flustered.

Sure enough, just a few minutes after the door opened today, a few girls poured in. They chattered and gathered in the direction of the kitchen where the dessert stand kept looking.

"Excuse me, what desserts would you beauties want?" Xiao Zheng's sweet voice sounded. The two waiters were part-time students and were often late. When they were late, Xiao Zheng had no choice but to work as a waiter and cashier.Xiao Zheng is a girl in her twenties. She is very gentle, has double eyelids, and has two shallow dimples when she smiles. She never cares about these things.

"I want a boss!" The girl with a pair of canine teeth yelled playfully, and the girl next to her immediately pushed her and smiled embarrassedly. "Excuse me, four packs of frosted walnuts! Did you just make them?"

"Yes," Xiao Zheng deftly packed four desserts, and quickly collected the money, all in one go.

"Don't look, hurry up, I'm going to be late, today is Professor Liang's class, how miserable do you want to die?!"

After a while, the four beautiful figures disappeared in the gorgeous street corner.

Xiao Zheng glanced at the direction in which they disappeared and then at the kitchen, his expression a little complicated.

The so-called accident is here.

Gu Xiyang is not a man who is good at doing business. He is more pragmatic in his bones, and most of the time he seems quite silent.Those colorful marketing methods are basically unnecessary, and the small advertisements are beautifully made, but they have been placed on the counter and have not been sent out. Although the store is good, but in this competitive business circle, people like him Shops abound, and there are no less than ten in the pedestrian street opposite Guangjiekou, all of which are chains, so there are few people here, and he hasn't even earned back the capital since the shop opened for more than a year.

Ever since Song Xu made a fuss in the shop at noon five days ago, the empty shop suddenly became full of people.

Song Xu is Gu Xiyang's boyfriend who has been dating for a long time. The two are in an underground relationship. Few people know about their relationship. Qiuqiu's, but her heart is very soft, and it melts as soon as she touches it.

In the past, Song Xu's method of making a fuss was basically at home or in a place where no one was around. He was very concealed and didn't have to worry about being seen by others. In this kind of place, the big plans are displayed. There are fiery red roses all over the door of Gu Xiyang's shop, and colorful flowers are also tied to the roof of the Cadillac. Song Xu leans against the door with a guitar The store door sang loudly, obviously in a gesture of confession.Of course his car must have been rented, no doubt.

Gu Xiyang, who was busy in the kitchen, thought that something big had happened, but when he came out, he saw that the door was blocked, and many girls kept pressing the shutter with their mobile phones. Not to mention that there were flower petals everywhere on the ground, these dazzling colors continued to spread At the intersection, the uncles and aunts of the sanitation workers stood nearby frowning like a line.

Seeing the tender and affectionate Song Xu, he climbed up Gu Xiyang's forehead helplessly. After all, he is a big man. He is not sensitive at all to this way of courting little girls, but because of the public place, he had to apologize and talk to everyone around him. The person explained that this person was his brother, just a joke, and it happened to be April [-]st that day.

After his fuss, the number of customers not only did not decrease, but increased day by day. At the same time, many young girls became interested in the boss.Because Gu Xiyang has another great feature besides being able to make cakes and desserts. He has very elegant facial features and is modest. He is 1.8 meters tall and slightly thin but well-proportioned. He is especially attractive to girls under the age of 20. The apron looks like the big brother next door.

"Zheng Shuang, help me take out the cake!"

While Xiao Zheng was resting his cheeks and meditating, a slightly hoarse voice came from the kitchen, and the gentle girl ran in immediately, and after a while brought out a large plate of chiffon cakes and placed them on the corresponding counter.

After a while, Gu Xiyang, with beads of sweat on his face, took another large plate of fruit desserts and put them on the shelf behind the counter, "Why, Qi Fan and Sisi haven't come yet?"

Zheng Shuang, who was busy giving change to customers, nodded, "Maybe there is a class in the morning, and I will come after class."

Just as he was talking, a black shadow rushed in, startling the customers at the door, "Sister Zheng Shuang, I'm sorry, I'm late again! She rushed into the changing room behind the counter while talking, and she had already changed in less than 2 minutes." He took off his overalls and started working refreshed.

"Sisi, go to the back to see what else is ready, and bring them out," Zheng Shuang, who was busy scanning codes for the guests, signaled to the cake maker next to him.

"Ok."

The morning time usually passes quickly because of the large number of guests.Between [-]:[-] and [-]:[-] in the afternoon is a relatively leisure time of the day. After lunch, Sisi, who is usually playful and lively, is a little lazy.

"Sister Zheng Shuang, you see that person is here again." The listless Sisi suddenly pushed Zheng Shuang next to him nervously.

Their gazes turned to the French windows at the same time. On the corner sofa, a man in a black windbreaker was sitting there quietly reading a magazine. Can't see the face clearly.Judging from the size, it should be a mature male.But it is already April, and this is a coastal city in the south, so the climate is not so hot that people can show off their summer style in short clothes and short sleeves, but they should not be able to wear clothes like windbreakers.

This was already the third day he had appeared in the cake shop, and he was always sitting in the same position. He didn't buy anything and just sat there.

This is a cake shop, not a coffee shop, and the waiters don't come forward to ask customers what they want, and they don't push people away, but it's puzzling that someone always sits there so stupidly, occupying the latrine and not shitting.

"How long do you think he will sit today?"

"I think he will leave at three o'clock today at most!"

"why?"

"Didn't you see that he was looking at his watch? He was probably waiting for the time."

"It's past two o'clock now!"

"I guess he might be waiting for a certain girl. Most of the people sitting around here are girls."

"But he didn't even look at the living creatures around him..."

"What are you two doing?" Gu Xiyang's voice suddenly came from behind.

"Ah!" Sisi let out a low cry, and turned her head in shock, "Boss, you didn't move when you were walking, you were so scared to death!"

Gu Xiyang smiled slightly, "How much noise do you want? Go, bring out the finished dessert!"

"Okay!" Sisi sneaked into the kitchen.

Only then did Zheng Shuang realize that Gu Xiyang had changed into neat clothes and was carrying a soft leather bag in his hand.

"Brother Gu, you want to go out?" Obviously Zheng Shuang wanted to be more friendly with Gu Xiyang than Sisi, she came here on the first day the store opened, and this store also has her share of credit.

"Go to the bank and settle last month's salary."

Their stores are small, with few employees, and there is no exact time for salary payment. Basically, it is the first ten days of each month and the month before the settlement.

"By the way, last time you said that a baker wanted to come, will he still come?" Gu Xiyang turned his head and asked again.

"Come on, definitely come, he will come tomorrow!"

"That's good."

Just as Gu Xiyang was about to leave, Zheng Shuang called him back, "Actually, that cake maker...is my dad." Obviously she was a little embarrassed to say it, but she felt that she couldn't do it.

"Acquaintances are better!" Gu Xiyang returned her with an approving smile, and calmly pushed the door away.

Zheng Shuang looked at his tall and straight back with elusive eyes.

Just a few seconds after he disappeared, the man in the windbreaker who was sitting quietly finally got up and followed him like a ghost.
