It's already the beginning of autumn.

The sun is no longer so vicious when it is three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Although it is still very hot, it is not as stuffy as it feels sticky when you sweat a little.

The Japanese military aircraft that bombed Jiangcheng still came from time to time, but most of the time it was in the morning and noon, and in the afternoon, it basically would not come.

If it gets dark now, the little Japanese plane will no longer be able to see the way home. It is easy to get lost in the mountains and ridges. (The Japanese fighter planes are not accustomed to night battles, which should not be what I said)

As the Japanese army was about to approach the city, the atmosphere in Xiakou gradually became tense, and the people did not have much confidence in the authorities. Therefore, many people had long left their homes and were ready to leave.

The bustling concession gradually became deserted.

The pedestrians on the street fell by 30% to 40% compared to two months ago, and the business of the shops along the street was much worse, and many of them were closed.

The catering service industry, which relies on popularity, has naturally been greatly affected. The war is imminent, and there are fewer people who are still free to drink a cup of coffee.

"Mr. Qin, Miss Hui, long time no see you." As soon as Luo Yao and Gong Hui sat down, Lao Mu walked over with a smile, bowed slightly, and greeted.

Luo Yao smiled: "Boss Mu still remembers us?"

Luo Yao used the pseudonym "Qin Ming", so Lao Mu called him "Mr. Qin".

"Of course I remember that you and Miss Hui came to me to have coffee twice, but never used the benefits of free orders from new customers, which impressed me very deeply." Lao Mu explained naturally.

"So that's the case. We blamed us for not using the benefits." Luo Yao smiled, "Then can we still use this benefits?"

"sure."

"Forget it, I want to keep this benefit for the future. In this way, there is a reason for me to come to you again, right?" Luo Yao said with a smile.

"You are such an interesting person."

"Boss Mu, you are also a boss with great ideas and good management." Luo Yao praised.

"Thank you Mr. Qin for your appreciation." Lao Mu asked, "Are you two, still the same as before?"

Luo Yao nodded.

Lao Mu smiled and said, "Wait a minute, come soon."

The taste of coffee did not change. Luo Yao took a sip and began to enter the "listening to the wind" state. Since he was suspicious of the Twilight Coffee House.

Then he naturally has to come and listen.

Calm down and think about the sound of music and talking to the guests, leaving only the sound of the eunuchs in the coffee house and the busy kitchen, as well as the boss Lao Mu.

There are four waiters in the cafe, three in the kitchen, one in the barista, one in the pastry chef, and one in charge of chores.

In addition to the boss, there are eight people in total.

All are men.

The Twilight Coffee House is open from the morning until it closes around 8 pm, and it takes eleven hours. It should be shift changes and shift adjustments for such a long time.

Luo Yao didn't pay attention to the waiter who greeted Yoshida. After all, he did not doubt the waiter at that time, but he still remembered the sound of the waiter's speech.

As long as the sound appears, he will find the waiter.

Unfortunately, he didn't find the waiter he was looking for. If he hadn't resigned, he would have been resigned.

Drink coffee and listen to soothing music, and feel a rare relaxation.

I have to say that this is indeed a comfortable place. When you come here every day, your depressed mood will be wiped out.

"Mr. Qin, Miss Hui, do you want to try the new product just released in our store, Black Forest Cake?" A waiter came over and bent over and asked, "This is made by our boss himself."

"OK."

Luo Yao nodded. Black Forest Cake is a dessert from Germany. It is not popular in China at present, and there are not many pastries that can make.

Lao Mu actually makes this kind of dessert, and he has been in Germany.

The Black Forest cake is extremely exquisite in workmanship and the process is quite complicated. It is even a protected dessert in Germany. If it is not made according to the craft requirements, it will be discovered that the cake shop will even be closed, and the dessert chef will be put in prison for a while.

A moment later, two pieces of Black Forest cakes were delivered.

After biting the black chocolate chips, you can see the rich flesh of the black cherry inside, which is sweet and mellow, and there is a hint of sweet and sour fragrance at the mouth.

The stimulating taste buds instantly burst into joyful emotions.

Very authentic.

This is Luo Yao's life, no, it should be said that the best Black Forest cake I have eaten with my memory, it is simply perfect.

"Delicious." Gong Huike didn't know the origin of the Black Forest cake. She took a bite and the chocolate and cream melted in her mouth. The milky aroma mixed with the aroma of cherry brandy. The taste buds on the stimulating tongue bloomed like flowers, and the taste of happiness suddenly filled the entire mouth.

"Can you give me another piece?" Gong Hui asked with unfulfilled thought after eating this small piece of her.

"The calories of this piece of Black Forest cake are worth as high as you eat three bowls of rice. Are you sure you want to come again?" Luo Yao asked with a smile.

"How can I miss such a delicious thing? At worst, I won't have supper today." Gong Hui said that desserts are extremely attractive to women.

"Ms. Hui likes the Black Forest Cake I made, which is my honor. Miss Hui doesn't want to eat much today. I'll treat you to you." Lao Mu unbuttoned his apron, brought a piece of Black Forest Cake and walked over. This piece was obviously much bigger than the one they had just now.

"Boss Mu is more cheerful and generous." Gong Hui said with a smile.

"Boss Mu has been to Germany?"

"I have been studying in Europe for a while, and I have been in Berlin for about two months." Lao Mu recalled and said.

"No wonder." Luo Yao nodded, "Boss Mu, how many years have you been in this coffee house?"

"It's been four or five years. I've been trading from a Frenchman. He is not good at managing well. I just arrived at the market and wanted to find a business. Seeing that the geographical location is good, I took it down." Lao Mu explained.

"This location faces the most prosperous streets in the French Concession. As long as you open the door, you can make money while lying down, but you will still be poorly managed?"

"That Frenchman is good at gambling, and the money he earns is not enough for him to lose in the casino." Lao Mu smiled.

Luo Yao nodded: "This gambling is really harmful, and Boss Mu has also gained a big advantage."

"The transfer fee is not cheap. There were several people who valued it at that time. The Frenchman agreed to transfer it to me because of the French cuisine I cooked."

"So that's it. Will our chat like this affect your business, Boss Mu?" Luo Yao asked intimately.

"No, there are not many customers now. They are busy here and don't need my help." Lao Mu smiled slightly, shook his head and said.

"That's good. I think Boss Mu's conversation is very elegant, and I guess he has a very unusual background." Luo Yao smiled slightly and asked tentatively without any trace.

"As for me, my ancestors were children of the Eight Banners. If the Qing Dynasty was gone, we would no longer have the privileges we had in the past. We went abroad to study earlier and saw some of the world." Lao Mu talked happily.

It can be seen that this old Mu still has a trace of the arrogance of an old noble, but this arrogance is restrained and cannot be seen by ordinary people.

"It turns out that you are still a nobleman and have lost your respect."

"It's all old, I won't mention it anymore. Now it's the Republic of China. Everyone is equal. All the Eight Banners nobles are past." Lao Mu smiled.

Boss Mu is a very talkative person, astronomy, geography, history, humanities and anecdotes, and is humorous and funny, and is a rare chat object.

Half an hour passed without realizing it.

"Boss Mu, it's been too much trouble for you, and it's time for us to leave." Seeing the dusk falling outside the window, Luo Yao stood up and said.

"Mr. Qin, Miss Hui, you two can come and sit there anytime when you have time." Lao Mu said.

"Okay, thank you Boss Mu for your Black Forest Cake." Luo Yao nodded slightly and paid the coffee bill. As for the Black Forest Cake, he was not polite.

...

Back home.

Luo Yao poured a glass of water first, drank it in one breath, then turned his head to Gong Hui and asked, "Ming Hui, how does this boss Mu feel to you?"

"Fake!"

Gong Hui thought for a long time and finally wrote a word.

Luo Yao thought about it carefully and it was true that the feeling that Boss Mu gave people is that it feels very comfortable in terms of behavior and conversation, and in dealing with people. However, there is no "real" feeling in this comfort, and it is even a little deliberate.

He can show his attitude towards anyone today, chatting and laughing without any barriers, just like a close friend.

But it is precisely what he can do to anyone, which shows that everything he has is fake, wearing a mask, or in other words, he has a hidden true self.

"Call Acheng over tomorrow." Luo Yao ordered Gong Hui, and then got up and prepared to go upstairs.

"You're not cooking?"

"You have eaten so much Black Forest cake, do you still want to eat it?" Luo Yao turned his head and asked in confusion.

"Don't you eat?"

"Old Liu comes here tonight, he will bring me a midnight snack." Luo Yao had just eaten a piece of Black Forest cake, but now he is not hungry at all, and he is only energetic when he is hungry to work.
