【003】Cat Theme Cafe
Chapter 3 Cat Theme Coffee House
Leisure Time Cafe is a retro building with a completely European style located in Cheongtandong.
The walls are imitated old wall tiles, which make the whole building look like a medieval castle infected by time. Vine plants covered with half walls are planted downstairs, and these green plants spread along the base of the wall to the small balcony on the second floor. If you look closely, you will find scattered small flower buds scattered in the vines, which will bloom in a few days.
This plant was found by Li Shenxing's grandfather who asked his grandfather to help him live in the UK. It has the characteristics of plants such as ivy, ivy and rose. It not only has a long flowering period, but also has a wide range of flowers.
Walking into the cafe is like walking into an ancient castle in a small European town. Various green plants and black, yellow-brown and brown decorations are intertwined, retro wall lights, quaint fireplaces covered with pebbles, small round tables in front of the fireplace and small carpets with folk characteristics, and wooden rocking chairs. Most of the tables and chairs in the store are made of pure wood, and they are customized by someone. Li Shenxing chose some styles and drew a few drawings himself. The styles of the tables and chairs are imitated in Western European retro style, and look antique.
Wooden bookshelves can be seen everywhere in the cafe. These bookshelf are made of solid solid wood, giving people a sense of heaviness. There are a variety of books on the bookshelf. Some books are brought by regular customers in the cafe, some are collected from book stalls in the frivolous market, and some are original English books and some miscellaneous books sent by Li Shenxing, who asked his uncle in the UK to help send him. The uncle once joked whether he would bring you a few books of Huaya Huaya Young Master, but was blocked by Li Shenxing in anger.
Most of the books here have been read by Li Shenxing. If you go and read them, you can also find the experience or insights written by Li Shenxing.
Most of the indoor plants are potted plants, and the table is filled with easy-to-grow meat plants and aquatic monetary grass, bounce fragrance and some cute little flowers and plants. Spider plants and green ivy are hung around the corners and on the pillars. Of course, in order to prevent mosquitoes, some Cordyceps sinensis are also planted, such as apple-renting nepenthes, small sun bottle grass, wind chime-renting nepenthes, etc., which are more beautiful insectivorous plants.
In a special corner, there are various cute cat nests and pet toys such as cat crawlers. There is also a small row of cat grass planted in the corner of the cat nest. Li Shenxing also specially found some recipes to make a lot of this kind of deodorizing potions for the waiter to cook them while cleaning. Although cats have been trained to not stool anywhere, cat saliva and other things will smell.
Park Min-ah, a single mother with a 12-year-old son, is the manager of a coffee shop. She is not very beautiful, but she gives people a gentle feeling and is full of intellectual temperament. Since the opening of the cafe, she has achieved her current achievements, which are all her outstanding management skills and superb coffee making technology. In the second year of the opening, Lee Shenxing transferred 15% of the shares of the coffee shop to Park Min-ah, giving her full management. Park Min-ah did not disappoint Lee Shenxing. The daily performance of the coffee shop is the best proof.
In addition to delicious coffee, there is also a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere and cute cats. If time allows, you can read books, listen to music, tease cats, or empty your head and spend most of the day leisurely. Of course, the food here is also a major focus for customers. Canadian maple syrup hot muffins, French muffins, Belgian waffles, catorras, bagels, Italian Sabahon, Napoleon pop cakes, lava pop cakes, tea fruits, grass cakes, and yum soup are so dazzling. The menu will be changed every time, so many food lovers like to come here because you will find surprises here from time to time.
After driving to the cafe, Li Shenxing parked the car, carried out the car and locked the car into the store.
"Hello president! Do you need help?" The person who spoke was Meiying, an old employee of the coffee shop, who has been in business since its opening and now, has a sweet and cute appearance and is very popular among young men.
"No need, Mi-young will help me call Sister Min-ya and take a cup of Blue Mountain." He said and walked towards the backyard.
There is a small yard behind the cafe that is not open to the public. There are paths paved with lawns and stone slabs on the ground, and some plants are planted by the walls. There is a wooden pavilion in the middle of the yard. When the weather is good, you can drink coffee here, and cats will also come out to bask in the sun.
There are two rooms on the left side of the yard, one is a warehouse and one is an employee lounge. The remaining larger one is used to entertain friends and Han Minya’s usual office space, which is elegantly decorated.
The wall made of red bricks, with a few soft and comfortable sofas in the middle, surrounded by a glass square table, a pot of plants on the table, an ancient shelf on one wall, and some of his works on it, and the other two sides were hung with the scenery photos taken by him traveling around.
Mount Fuji in Japan, the Grand Canyon in the United States, the South Island of New Zealand, the Palm Beach in Florida, the Golden Temple in India, the Rockies in Canada, the Ayers Rock in Australia, the Mahjongan monuments in Mexico, the Inca ruins of Peru, Nigara Falls, the Petra in Jordan, the Egyptian and the pyramids, the water city of Venice, the Great Wall of Central China, etc. Looking at the beautiful scenery, it makes people envious and I wish I could take a trip right away.
After entering the room, the carton was placed on the ground, moved the plants on the table to the wall, found the artist to cut the tape on the carton, opened the box, and took out all the paper scraps on it.
At this time, Han Minya walked in with her coffee.
"Sister Min Ya comes here to help me."
Park Min-ah put the coffee on, and carefully moved the model out and put it on the square table with Lee Shenxing. After checking that the model was not damaged, she sat on the sofa while drinking coffee and chatted with Han Min-ah about the recent situation and performance of some coffee shops.
Although he comes to the cafe to drink coffee every week and put it in vain, he will not interfere in managing the things in the cafe. Park Min-ah said many times in front of him that he, the manager, was too thorough.
Park Min-ah didn't treat her in the lounge and went to the front hall to help because it was the peak of lunch and had to change shifts to the staff for lunch, so she couldn't get busy.
“I-was–douBLing-over-the-load-on-my-shoulders,Was–a-weight-I-carried-with-me-everyday…”
Not long after Park Min-ya left, Li Shenxing's cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was called by Brother Shi.
"Oh~! Brother Shi, why do you call me if you have anything? Do you miss me?" Li Shenxing teased.
"You little brat, you have no one to do it all day long. Where are you thinking about? You have something to do with me." said the man who was talking to me.
"What can I do? Can't I talk about it on the phone? I'm in a cafe in Cheongdam-dong."
"I'll come to find you later. Now I have a program to shoot. I can go to your side at about four o'clock in the afternoon. When I get there, I'll tell you that I'll go to work hard now. You can wait in the cafe. That's it, I'll have to hang up." Liu Zaishi finished speaking and hung up.
“…”
"Oh, I'm really worthy of being the host. This mouth is like a camera, beeping... I finished speaking, and I didn't have the chance to wipe it." Li Shenxing shook his head speechlessly.
