In the midst of my busy schedule, two more days have passed, and it is Thursday.
When I arrived at the school early in the morning and walked past the atrium, Zong Gu found that everyone's face was filled with excitement.
"Isn't this the most natural thing, because from tomorrow on, it will be a school festival."
Akane Kirino is one of them.
"Yesterday I drew a lot and I drew a class after 2pm tomorrow. In other words, I can go around when the school festival begins tomorrow morning!"
"So lucky." Soya said.
"Uh-huh!"
He was sincerely envious because he had to work much harder.
According to Shiina Asaka, he is the gold-sucking stone that ensures the prosperity of the cafe business, and basically has to stay in the classroom all the time - even if he just sits there.
"Hongzi and I will join Zong Gu's portion to have fun."
Like Akane Kirino, Hongko is relatively free.
The Horticulture Department belongs to the type of busy beforehand. It has been so busy these days that it does not require any manpower after the school festival begins;
The social magazines of the Unnatural Phenomenon Research Department were brought from Chaowuling to the Literature and Art Department and sold them with their social magazines, so she didn't need to sit in the department;
As for the Deacon Cafe run by her own class, there is no need for her at all.
"Your beautiful flower comes to help, which will make people worry, so let's forget it."
Hongzi is happy to be idle, and her parents are coming to school, which is convenient for arranging time.
"See you later."
"Um."
Seeing Akira Kirino walking towards Class B, Soya walked into the classroom, and his eyes first fell on some decorations and props piled up behind the classroom.
This is the result of Hongzi and several other A-class students busy after school these days. Yesterday and the afternoon before yesterday, he also stayed to help, just waiting to be arranged in the classroom today.
"I'm looking forward to it."
"Um."
Hongzi sat down, hung up her schoolbag, and kicked his stool with her feet, "Mom said, I will come to see the cafe in Class A tomorrow."
"Yeah."
Sonoya turned around, "Then told her that I was a deacon in the store?"
"Not yet."
"If the aunt shook her face and left on the spot, it would be ugly."
"Not..."
Hongzi lay down, "I will be with my mother at that time."
Zong Gu looked at her, "I think it's better for you to make her mentally prepared first."
Hongzi looked up and nodded.
"Oh well."
Because today is the last day before the school festival, and only half a day of class was in, Shibasaki Makoto explained a lot of things during the morning class meeting. After the explanation, he asked Shiina Asaka to leave him a VIP ticket for tomorrow.
"I want to bring my daughter here to see...but it will definitely take a long queue, so I'll give me a VIP coupon that doesn't need to queue up first."
There was a burst of laughter below.
"How could this kind of thing be there?" Hongzi leaned forward.
Zong Gu leaned on her desk and smiled, "I'll cut him a piece of the scraps of colored paper when get out of class is over later."
"No, it's so stupid."
"Anyway, the person who wants to use this coupon tomorrow is Acheng."
"Let Shiina decide."
The first class in the morning was Makoto Shibasaki's math class. When the bells stopped in class, he continued to talk about the topic of the morning class meeting, talking about how cute his daughter, who had just entered kindergarten, was and how he was bothered.
For the students below, they are happy to chat as long as they don’t attend classes.
"Ten minutes have passed. Have you forgotten that class has already started..."
"Shhh, let him say."
And it is not just Shibasaki Makoto who has the same performance.
Perhaps I felt that at this time, it was impossible for the students below to concentrate on class. The classes in the morning were all in a very relaxed atmosphere and there was no new content.
During lunch, Akane Kirino said that the same is true for their class.
"Except for that old man's class."
"Is Zhongjiang's Mandarin class?"
"yes."
“Fortunately we didn’t have Mandarin classes in the morning.”
While chatting and eating bento, Zong Gu saw several people picking up their schoolbags and leaving the classroom.
If the class is not in the afternoon, those students who don’t need to stay for help either stay in the club or go home directly.
"Zonggu, help me eat this...I can't eat it anymore."
"Eat more, and you still have physical work in the afternoon."
After lunch, I sat until about 1:30 in the afternoon. Shiina Asaka began to organize the classroom with her hands.
At the beginning, it was the physical work of the boys: moving tables and chairs.
Two or four desks can be put together into a temporary coffee table and then seats are placed. Considering the limited reception capacity, the Deacon Café in Class A has only set up eight coffee tables of different specifications.
After putting together a few coffee tables and moving the extra tables and chairs to the back of the classroom. Soya turned around, Fushimi brought another table over.
"Pile it up."
Zong Gu took the desk, lifted it and placed it on another desk, and pushed it a few times to place it safely.
"After that being said, will the football department and fellow reasoning friends have any activities at the academy?"
"The football department has no activities. Sports clubs already have sports meetings at the beginning of school, so they didn't attend the academy much."
Fushimi shook her head and said, "If you think the reasoning fellows will be together, you plan to set up some puzzles during the school festival and use some small pranks to make people reason. What you want to say is the order of Kutliafuka
Same."
"Kutlia...what?"
"Oh, haven't Soya read it? It's a very famous series of youngster mystery novels. I'll bring it here to lend it to you tomorrow."
"There is no time these days..."
After moving the desk, Zong Gu looked around and laying the tablecloth for the coffee table, the girls were already posting color decorations on the walls and glass windows.
Walking to the podium, Hongzi was tracing words on the blackboard.
"Since you focus on 'deacon', it's better to write from right to left so that you can see these two words at a glance when you walk outside."
“…”
She pinched the chalk and looked back at him, "Why didn't you say it earlier? You're almost finished writing it."
"I was moving the table just now." Zong Gu smiled and leaned against the podium, "Just write a few words, very quickly."
So Hongzi erased all the words he had just drawn and wrote them again.
"I didn't know before that you were so beautiful when writing on the blackboard."
"Hmph... I'm fine if it has nothing to do with physical strength."
"You are quite self-aware."
Looking at the outline of her drawing a few words, Zong Gu picked up the colored chalk and filled it in.
"Play horizontally so that the color will be even... take a slightly longer chalk."
Zong Gu searched for a while, then looked up and saw Shiina Asaka coming over, "Student Zong Gu, do you have time?"
Hongzi immediately turned around.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Coffee machines, induction cookers and other things are still in the warehouse. If Zong Gu has time..."
"I got it, I'll move now."
He took a handful of colorful chalk to Hongzi, and Zong Gu asked about the location of the warehouse and left the classroom.
Down from the fourth floor, walked through the atrium, and came to the back of the special building. Zong Gu looked around and found that several students walked towards one side and followed him. It turned out that there was a warehouse inside.
There was a teacher standing at the door, as if he was the person in charge of the warehouse here.
“What are you looking for?”
"Things that Class A, one year, put here."
He turned around and called a student and took Zong Gu to the shelves of Class A in one year.
“There are quite a lot of things…”
In addition to coffee machines and induction cookers, there are also small refrigerators, some of which were newly purchased by Shiina Asaka, and the other part was borrowed from the school warehouse.
For convenience, the warehouse administrator has already placed the things in their respective areas according to the needs reported by each class.
After looking at the things on the shelves, Soya probably couldn't move them twice, so he picked up the largest and heavy small refrigerator first, and prepared to ask Fushimi to carry them together after going back.
A small refrigerator of 20 or 30 kilograms is not too heavy, but it is large in size and not easy to move.
"The paint has fallen out here...it shouldn't be a new one."
He left the warehouse with the refrigerator and walked through the atrium. It was even more inconvenient to go upstairs. Zong Gu had to be as careful as possible to avoid falling.
As soon as he arrived at the corner platform between the first and second floors, he paused. Kyoko, who was standing on it, was stunned for a moment, and then came down to get a handle.
"No need... it's not convenient for two people to carry them up when going upstairs."
Kyoko retreated aside and gave him a way out.
Moving to the second floor, Soya put down the refrigerator and turned around and said, "Is Kyoko going back?"
"Um."
"So early."
She was holding her schoolbag and stood in a position that was neither up nor down. "The class didn't need my help, and it would be fine to stay in school."
Soya thought for a moment, "I still have some things to move, Kyoko will help me."
Kyoko looked at him and nodded and said yes.
"Then you're waiting for me here."
"Um."
Zong Gu moved the refrigerator and continued to go upstairs.
When he returned to Class A on the fourth floor, even he was a little breathless.
After going downstairs and upstairs for a while, there was also a significant change in the classroom. When I put the small refrigerator in the newly opened cooking area in the corner, Zong Gu looked at the blackboard and the colored characters had been painted.
He took a breath and Hongzi came over, "Thank you for your hard work. How are these words written?"
“It looks great.”
"There should be something else to move." She glanced at the small refrigerator on the ground, "I'll go with you."
"ah."
"'ah'?"
"Um."
"What are you doing?"
Soya was a little helpless, "I called Kyoko."
"...You are too good at ease."
"It's so ugly. I met her while I was going upstairs."
Hongzi glanced at him and said, "I'll go down with you. Three people can move more, right?"
"It's up to you... don't complain about being tired then."
"If I can't handle it, I'll give it to you."
"Hello."
"Isn't the boyfriend working at this time?"
Zong Gu had no choice but to take her down.
Going down to the second floor, Kyoko saw Hongzi following him at a glance, and went downstairs without saying anything.
Zong Gu followed her in two steps.
"Kyoko..."
"I see."
He was stunned for a moment, "Is that true?"
"Um."
Looking back at Hongzi, she didn't say anything, her eyes fell on Kyoko's back.
When he arrived at the warehouse, Soya picked up the coffee machine, Kyoko carried two large bags of coffee beans, Hongzi looked around and picked up the induction cooker.
"Can you take it?"
"I can still hold it now."
After walking through the special building and walking to the atrium, Hongzi suddenly spoke, "Is that coffee bean?"
Kyoko looked at Soya first, then responded, "Yeah."
"I thought it was the kind of coffee powder in bag..."
Kyoko looked down at the two cloth bags in her hand. They were not heavy and could smell a little fragrance.
"Do you need to grind it yourself?"
"I just saw it. This machine seems to be fully automatic and can also be ground into powder."
"Is that true?" Kyoko's eyes fell on the coffee machine he was holding again.
"Our cafe will be tested later, so senior sister will have a drink, too." Hongzi said.
Kyoko didn't agree, so Soya said, "The customer's true thoughts are very important. If there are any shortcomings, there is still time to adjust."
She glanced at him, "I don't drink much coffee, I have no comments or suggestions."
"I know." Soya smiled at her, "What we need is not professional comments."
She didn't say much.
Moving the things back to the classroom on the fourth floor, Kyoko looked at the newly-developed cafe without changing her face.
Hongzi put down the induction cooker and sat down nearby.
"I'm tired."
"Stop."
She glanced at Kyoko who was standing on the other side and whispered: "Walking with senior sister, you don't have me in your eyes. I'm so sorry I'll invite her for you."
"Where is it?" Zong Gu held her hand and pinched it twice.
Hongzi curled her lips and urged her again, "Go and move quickly, there are still many things. I want to see these machines."
"Don't turn on the small refrigerator first. I just moved it up and I have to let it sit for five or six hours."
"I know."
He called Kyoko who was beside Jingli, and the two went down again.
"When will Kyoko be available tomorrow?"
“There is time after one pm.”
"Then I will wait with expectation."
She wanted to speak but stopped, and finally nodded.
They went to the warehouse twice and moved everything back to Class A classroom. The two of them sat down to rest.
"Senior sister Guanyuan, because the refrigerator is not available yet, and the ingredients and desserts have not been brought here yet. Now only coffee can be ordered..."
Kyoko looked at Shiina Asaka who was walking over, "It's okay."
"Okay. Please wait."
Several girls gathered together to fiddle with the coffee machine, and some coffee beans fell from the ground.
"Wait, have you added too many coffee beans?"
“It just happened to be able to cover the lid…”
"Idiot, that's just adding too much, just 80% full bean box."
"oh oh."
"So is the water tank, it's enough to add to three quarters."
"Shirakawa knows so much..."
“It’s all written on the instruction manual!”
Zong Gu watched for a while, walked forward and whispered: "This store seems to be unreliable."
Kyoko nodded subconsciously, and glared at him after coming to her senses.
"It's so rude."
Sonoya smiled at her, "I'll go and have a look."
He got up and the girls were still groping.
"Just select this grinding degree...and then press this?"
"Try it."
"Try it?"
“It won’t explode.”
A hand reached over and pressed the button.
drop--
The coffee machine buzzed.
"ah."
"Don't be nervous. The coffee machine is now checking and cleaning, and then preheating. In love, you can't even use a coffee machine. I'm so embarrassed to open a coffee shop."
"It's too much, Zong Gu..."
Kyoko sat upright in her seat, looked at him and the Yingying and Yanyan beside him for a while, and then looked elsewhere.
After a while, Zong Gu came over with a cup of hot coffee and put it on the table.
"Please use it."
Kyoko nodded, "Thank you."
He sat down opposite him, "Taste the taste, if it is bitter, you can add sugar. There will be desserts tomorrow."
"Um."
She picked up the coffee and blew it gently and took a small sip.
"How about it?"
"fine."
Zong Gu held his chin, "Can't it be more specific?"
She took a little more sip and waited for a while before speaking: "It's okay."
"Is it bitter?"
“Not particularly bitter.”
"What about the aroma."
"fine."
Zong Gu reached over and held her coffee cup.
“…”
When she looked at each other, she did not object.
He took it over and took a sip.
A few slight exclamations rang around.
When his eyes were cast again, Kyoko's face turned a little red. She couldn't pretend to be careless and said, "How is it."
Soya took another sip, then pursed her lips and said, "Apart from this drinking by Kyoko, the aroma, mellowness, flavor and so on can only be considered ordinary."
"Then will your cafe continue to open?"
"Do you directly and fundamentally deny it?"
"No……"
He smiled and put the coffee back in front of her, "I don't know coffee either, so I said it casually. If I insist on evaluating it, I can only say 'It's okay'."
Kyoko looked at him, feeling helpless, and wanted to laugh.
"Try it again." He said again.
"uh-huh."
After drinking most of the cup of coffee, Kyoko stood up and expressed her gratitude to the "client staff" watching, and then said goodbye.
Soya sent her to the stairs, "I probably don't have time to go to the shrine today."
"Um."
"Can you come tomorrow at 1:05pm?"
“…”
"A little ten?"
“…”
"One fifteen?"
Kyoko looked at him, "I will come over when the matter is over."
"I'll wait for Kyoko."
Watching Kyoko go downstairs and leave, he turns back to the classroom, Shiina Asaka comes over: "Does senior sister Guanhara have any other comments?"
"The coffee is delicious, the clerk is very enthusiastic, and she likes it very much."
"real?"
"She didn't say it, but that's probably what she thought."
"Student Zong Gu..."
Zong Gu looked at the girls next to the coffee machine, "For most students, their feelings about coffee are just bitter or not, and that was almost the same just now. Try to be familiar with the operation of the coffee machine first."
"I see."
Kyoko was the only customer during the trial business today. After that, the customers who tried the drinks were all students in Class A who had not left in the classroom.
"Tomorrow morning, I will come here earlier and bring pasta and other ingredients here." Shizuna Asaka said, "In addition, the snacks you booked will also be delivered to the school before 8 o'clock."
She looked around and said, "Tonight, everyone should have a good rest and welcome tomorrow's school festival in the best condition."
