Chapter 67 Typhoon and Power Outage

In the remaining time, the three of them began to decorate the store and formulate the products.

Anting’s plan is to occupy the midstream market between the downstream and the upstream. He does not want to be like Babak, who costs 40 or 50 yuan a cup, nor can he be like Dakoujiu, who is 3 or 4 yuan a cup.

He wants to find a breakthrough in the middle and create his own catering brand.

Brother Chuan felt a little uneasy. He used to be in the low-end beverage business. He was not very good at doing this so-called midstream business. He also had no culture. He didn’t quite understand what Anting said about building IP. of.

Anting doesn’t want to explain so much for the time being. Anyway, Brother Chuan will definitely understand when the store opens and the facts are in front of him. The more important thing now is to give him a task.

"I have prepared the mascot image and song. I will send you the menu in a few days. Although not every product is made, there will be a little information for you. I took the opportunity to explore... By the way, if you know a good tea merchant, you can contact me."

In the milk tea market in this era, the products are still very simple, including pearl milk tea and sago. , lemon tea... no milk cap, no fruit tea, and it is not popular to make drinks with passion fruit.

Anting just wants to make something that other beverage shops don’t have.

According to the plan, the store decoration will take one month.

It will open around mid-August.

Brother Chuan still has a month to explore.

Brother Chuan knows a lot about product production, but he is a little confused about other aspects, “It’s just a beverage store, do I need a mascot and a theme song?”
< br />Isn’t this... nonsense? !

Anting shrugged and did not explain.

At this juncture, it is useless to say more; only by achieving results can others be convinced.

Brother Chuan was doubtful and felt a little regretful in his heart, wondering if he had boarded the pirate ship, but it was too late, so he just said: "Then I will only be responsible for the production, and you will take care of the rest. ”

“Okay.”

……

As for Anting and Brother Chuan opening a store in Nancheng District, Anting actually told his father Let me tell you, after all, I took his money, and as a minor, reporting to work is a must.

What he didn’t expect was...

Dad behaved very grandly. He said: "The money is yours after I give it to you. You have to decide what you want to do." , you don’t need to report to me regularly... I just want to remind you that if you lose, you won’tYes, you have to learn to be responsible for yourself. ”

Dad An himself doesn’t understand children’s education. He seems to have learned a little bit recently. I’m afraid he has had many exchanges with Aunt Song in this regard.

An Ting replied: "good. ”

In fact.

No matter how grand and bold Father An is, he will still feel a little bit distressed. He gave a 15-year-old boy a huge sum of money. , equivalent to a year and a half of the family's income.

Normal people don't think highly of a 15-year-old boy doing business, but this kid is not only admitted to No. 1 Middle School, but also ranked first in the city.

If... I don’t give this money, I, as a father, will not be comfortable for the rest of my life.

Let’s just pay the tuition.

Father An finally added He said: "I won't tell you, Aunt Song, about this matter, nor will I tell anyone, because I don't want to put pressure on you. Anyway, as a father, I only have two requirements. ”

It’s not that I don’t trust Aunt Song, but I don’t want to put pressure on Anting.

A 15-year-old boy lost so much money. If this kind of thing spreads, The child might be affected. Anyway, Father An gave me the money and planned to forget about it.

"What's the request? "

"First, if, I mean if, if you lose, you must stop after losing the principal and cannot go into debt; second, you are still a student, and starting a business is a business, so you must remember Live your identity. ”

The above two requirements actually reflect the thoughts of An’s father.

He just regards his son’s entrepreneurial venture as a toy, and will stop after the loss, and treat it as nothing. If something happens, go back and study with peace of mind without affecting your studies.

Anting knew that his father did not believe in him, but he was still moved in his heart and said with a smile: "Dad, I understand, I promise you. "

Speaking of this, Anting added: "Dad, give me some time, and I will earn you a few buildings later. "

"Go, go, lose a few less, and you will be successful! ”

…

The wedding of Father An and Aunt Song is scheduled for mid-July.

All good things come to pass. The wedding banquet was held three days ago, the first of the year. There is nothing surprising about the arrival of a typhoon. There are typhoons every summer in the subtropics, and there may even be more than one.

Although City C is just a borderline, it is still affected a lot.

On that day, Father An and Aunt Song were not at home.

They went to Nancheng District to follow up on tourist visa matters. They probably didn’t check the weather forecast., the typhoon is coming, and I won’t be able to go home for a while.

Hmm... tourist visa, the two of them are going on a honeymoon after the wedding.

It is not necessary to go abroad, but I still applied for a visa.

For safety reasons, Anting said on the phone: "Dad, don't rush back when there is a typhoon. You and Aunt Song can spend the night outside."

"That's good. , you and Xiaoci should pay attention to safety at home." Dad An replied.

　“Hmm…”

　Seriously.

Anting thought it was good for his father and Aunt Song to spend the night outside. Maybe it was because the wedding was approaching, and the children’s high school entrance exams were successful, and they were in a super happy mood, and their sex drive was greatly improved. What happened between the two of them at night? getting bigger.

Both Anting and Song Ci have just passed the high school entrance examination and are in a carefree summer vacation. Their sleep time at night is delayed, so it is difficult to avoid hearing strange noises.

It’s good to go out for the night, no matter how much noise there is.

After hanging up the phone, Anting turned around and saw Song Ci at the entrance of the stairs. The latter asked, "Aren't they going home today?"

An Ting shrugged and replied: "Well, it's windy and rainy outside, and it's dangerous to drive. I told them not to come back."

"Oh..." Song Ci glanced at the world outside, and it was indeed... It's windy and rainy, and visibility is extremely low, making it unsafe to drive.

As a result, there are only Anting, Song Ci and Naite at home.

A few months ago, Song Ci and Anting might have been a little uneasy if they were left alone; but at this moment, the girl seemed to have gotten used to it, and didn't hate being alone with Anting, and she was calm.

"Why are you looking at me?" Anting saw that she hadn't left for a long time. He lowered his eyes and saw Song Ci holding high school textbooks and several novels on her chest, "You're too Have you worked hard?"

"I am idle at home anyway. I may not necessarily read textbooks, but I may also read novels."

"Song Ci's summer vacation is still based on Studying is the main focus. She didn’t know where to get high school textbooks and had already started studying in advance. In addition to studying, she would also read extracurricular books.

Reading is her biggest hobby.

The boy could see that the girl was a little bit upset about being robbed of the top spot in the high school entrance examination by him.

Sister Song Ci will be strong throughout her life.

If the top scorer in the high school entrance examination was taken away by a stranger, she might not be so angry; mainly because it was taken away by a teenager living under the same roof, she couldn't ignore it.

Nothing in AntingIt can be said that although I don’t like reading, it is impossible to persuade others not to read.

Besides, he also has something serious to do today.

…

The whole afternoon, the outside world seemed like a dark night, with strong winds and heavy rain.

From time to time, violent slapping sounds could be heard from the windows and doors, which was somewhat terrifying.

At five o’clock in the afternoon, the light was so bad that everyone in the house turned on the lights.

Anting was alone in his room planning future business lines, thinking about the decoration style of the store and the unified packaging style of the products. He sat in front of the computer with pen and paper on the desktop.

Rebirth is not a panacea, so you must do it yourself where you should pay attention.

There are also washed strawberries on the table. Ever since I learned that Song Ci likes to eat strawberries, my family often buys them.

Strawberries have been planted on the rooftop, but they don’t ripen so quickly, so they can only buy them outside.

Until 7:30 in the evening.

Anting was a little tired, and his eyes moved and happened to fall on the drawing paper on the table. What was drawn on the paper was a porcelain doll mascot, the prototype of which was Song porcelain.

Very cute...

Looking at this mascot, Anting couldn’t help but smile.

It is a pity that the mascot of the secret base did not use this porcelain doll. Instead, professionals redesigned one, which was only 20 to 30% similar to this one.

There is no reason, the main reason is that Anting’s painting is amateurish, and it is still a little bit tasteless when compared to a professional. When there is a choice, naturally he will use a professional.

At this moment.

A burst of thunder sounded, and a bright light flashed outside.

Immediately afterwards, the power went out.

The room fell into darkness and silence.

In his previous life, Anting was used to experiencing long and endless loneliness alone, and he could still accept this level of darkness and silence.

“But... I still need a candle.”

It’s impossible to work well in such a dim environment.

Just when he walked out of the room and was about to find a candle, he opened the door and unexpectedly saw someone squatting in the corner of the living room a few meters away, holding the dog in one hand and covering his ears with the other, whispering. trembling.

Anting pointed the light of his mobile phone at the other party.

Besides Song Ci, who else could be there?

She was wearing sports pants, a short-sleeved T-shirt, and socksZi, squatting next to Naite, looking at Anting from bottom to top with complicated eyes, his tone seemed calm, but in fact there was an undercurrent, "I...I am looking for a candle."

The girl's weak posture is unexpectedly cute.

I didn’t expect that this not-so-cute girl would have such a side that I felt pity for.

Perhaps some people think that Song Ci’s reaction was exaggerated. Wasn’t it because he didn’t turn on the lights? Just think about it, it's not a pure indoor power outage, there is no power outside, there are dark clouds, violent storms, and even no moonlight.

Absolute darkness, you can’t see your fingers.

Ordinary power outages, street lights or moonlight outside the house, Song Ci would not be like this.

An Ting squinted his eyes and asked carefully: "You...are not afraid of the dark, are you?"

"That's...I'm not afraid of the dark!"
< br />This sentence seemed to hit Song Ci's weakness.

In order to show that she was not afraid of the dark, she stood up on the spot. Who knew that in the process of standing up, she accidentally hit her arm on the corner of the TV cabinet next to her.

Bang!

With a hiss, the whole person lost his balance and fell into the darkness.

At the critical moment, Anting stepped forward quickly and acted as a meat pad, letting her fall on him.

According to the normal development of youth romantic comedy, the hero and heroine should have already kissed. Unfortunately, that kind of thing will not happen in reality.

Although it was a woman on top and a man on the bottom, her legs were staggered. The girl was supporting the ground with one hand, leaving only one weak hand gently resting on the boy's chest.

Physical contact is minimal.

After being briefly lost, the two of them opened their eyes at the same time and faced each other. They could feel each other's breathing and the slightly cramped heartbeat.

The light was insufficient, and neither of them could clearly see the expression on the other's face. They could only vaguely see a pair of glowing eyes, like stars.

"Are you okay?" After a long time, Anting asked proactively.
