Chapter 437: Four hundred and thirty-seven, the first guest_1

The Day After Tomorrow.

All of the paperwork was finally taken care of today.

Gu Chen arrived at the coffee shop with these raw materials in hand.

The customized packaging bags, and the cups for takeout orders.

All were meticulously customized!

At the same time, many different types of tables, chairs, and benches were added to the store.

All the decorations were very avant-garde.

They were even on par with many high-end coffee shops abroad.

On the first day of business, Jia Xiaoyi and the others arrived at the restaurant right on time.

Apart from Jia Xiaoyi, the other two girls were named Gui Ying and Yun Xia.

They were of similar age, around twenty years old.

There was a youthful radiance on their faces, a sight that made Gu Chen feel somewhat envious.

They arrived at the coffee shop promptly and donned the work uniforms that Gu Chen had hastily arranged for a factory to customize.

For this factory, even a small order had to start with a hundred units.

Gu Chen had placed an order for a hundred sets outright.

The remaining ninety-seven uniforms were still being stored in the warehouse.

From morning until noon, no customers came into the coffee shop.

Although there was a substantial flow of potential customers outside, very few dared to enter.

The reason was simple, generally, everyone knew that coffee was not a cheap commodity.

So many people just took a look from the outside and had no intention of coming in.

Besides the well-known high price of coffee itself, there was another reason—Gu Chen’s coffee shop’s interior decoration was simply too excellent, resembling those grand hotels.

It wasn’t just an aura of grandeur; it also had a distinct futuristic feel, much like those luxurious restaurants abroad that one reads about in newspapers.

It wasn’t until late afternoon that the first customer finally walked into the coffee shop.

It was a woman, likely in her thirties.

From her appearance, one could easily deduce that she was some sort of boss.

Dressed in a black suit, she looked striking and formidable.

Furthermore, the purse she carried clearly was genuine crocodile skin.

After entering the restaurant, the woman glanced around, seemingly quite satisfied with the environment.

Then she casually picked a spot and sat down.

Xiao Yi, sharp as ever, immediately approached her.

"Hello, ma’am," she said politely.

These were things that Gu Chen had instructed them on during the day.

Under normal circumstances, such things didn’t need to be said.

After all, the core job of a server is to serve, which inherently doesn’t need to be stated.

But there was no helping it, Gu Chen still repeated the instructions several times.

The reason was simple, because the three of them were just too young, and perhaps their experience wasn’t all that vast; they might not really know how to serve others.

"What kind of coffee do you have here?" the woman asked Xiao Yi.

"This is our coffee menu at the shop."

Xiao Yi produced the menu.

It was very simple, with only two kinds of coffee.

"Regular Coffee, priced at 10 yuan"

"Selected Coffee, priced at 20 yuan"

These two coffees were straightforward and clearly priced.

The woman frowned at the prices, then said, "Your shop’s prices really aren’t low, what exactly is so regular about this regular coffee? Does it mean it doesn’t even have a specific variety?"

She said this to Xiao Yi.

This was something that Gu Chen had also explained to them previously.

"Regular coffee is tasty. Selected coffee is very tasty."

She explained to the woman in this way.

When the woman heard this explanation, she clearly found it amusing.

"Then give me a regular coffee and let me see how good it tastes.

If it’s not good, then don’t expect your cafe to stay in business," she said to Xiao Yi.

As she spoke, her tone was slightly harsh.

"Don’t blame me for not warning you, for a ten-dollar coffee, if it doesn’t meet my expectations, that’s fraud, your own fault," the woman said.

Xiao Yi didn’t know how to respond at that moment.

Because Gu Chen had not discussed this kind of sales talk before.

Just as she was feeling a bit helpless, Gu Chen had already come to her side.

He said softly to the woman, "If you’re not satisfied with the final result, you are welcome to ask for a refund, file a complaint, or even sue us."

He spoke these words with great confidence.

Upon hearing this, the woman felt as if she had been challenged.

For a moment, she was brimming with a fighting spirit.

"Good, I hope you don’t disappoint me, otherwise, you will definitely pay the price," she said.

Gu Chen simply smiled without getting angry.

The price of ten dollars was indeed not cheap.

But Gu Chen truly had that confidence.

He then returned to the coffee brewing station.

He took the pre-prepared coffee beans, ground them into powder, poured it into a cup, and then poured water over it.

When the water mixed with the coffee powder,

the entire cafe was immediately filled with the aroma of coffee.

The woman, who a moment before hadn’t been taking it very seriously, was instantly transformed when she smelled the aroma.

Gu Chen carried the coffee over to the woman’s side and placed it on the table.

"Please enjoy," he said.

He didn’t even wait for the woman’s evaluation.

His confidence was simply extreme.

At that time, the woman didn’t care about anything else, as she had completely succumbed to the coffee’s aroma and couldn’t extricate herself for a long time.

It was as if she had found the answer to one of the world’s ten greatest unsolved mysteries.

Just by smelling the coffee’s aroma alone, she was captivated for a full minute.

After a minute, she began to taste the coffee.

Once the coffee hit her throat, her entire spirit seemed transcendent.

Her whole demeanor changed.

Without a word, she finished the rest of the coffee in one gulp.

Perhaps because the coffee beans were grown in Spiritual Spring,

even though the water was still hot,

it didn’t harm the woman’s mouth or throat.

The silky coffee went into her stomach smoothly.

The woman sat there for a long, long time, nearly three minutes,

still not recovered from the coffee she just had.

After five minutes, she uttered a word.

"Good!"

It was just a simple word.

Yet from her eyes, it wasn’t hard to see how highly she regarded the coffee.

"Another cup!"

"No! I want to order a twenty-dollar, specialty coffee!" she declared.
