Rebirth begins with the waste wood returning home

Chapter 104 An Xin
Jiang Defu didn't expect that a coffee shop would be so popular.

In his previous life, this kind of place was considered a high-end place when he was a child, but later, with the development, the so-called cafes and Western restaurants were basically regarded as ordinary shops on the bad streets.

But think about it, this kind of restaurant is really rare in this era. Qingcheng has a lot of Western-style things due to special historical reasons. In other medium-sized cities, there are almost no such stores.

Not only did the waiters dress and speak seriously, but the guests inside were also very well-dressed in this era. Many men wore suits or Chinese tunic suits, while women wore dresses.

Jiang Defu didn't like to wear a navy uniform because he thought it was too ostentatious, so he only wore a white shirt and simple black pants.

The shirt was issued by the school, and you can't see the logo on it. As for the black pants, Zhang Guilan and the others helped sew them in their hometown.

The shirt looked okay, after all, it was made from the top, and it was made of relatively good fabrics of this era. The pants were dyed black from the cheesecloth he bought in the countryside. Although Zhang Guilan was good at needlework, he could still tell at a glance that it was Ordinary fabrics of this era.

Although his clothes cannot be said to be rustic, they are still a bit shabby compared to the well-dressed people inside.

No wonder the staff here glanced at his clothes many times, but they still had some professionalism, and their eyes did not show disrespect.

"Is it full?"

Jiang Defu saw that the first floor was indeed full of people, but he didn't believe that the second floor would also be full of people. There wouldn't be any hunger marketing here, right?
"Sir, I'm sorry, it is indeed full. The bakery inside is indeed still empty, but it has been booked. Here is our business card. If you want to come next time, you can call in advance and we will reserve a seat for you. "

The waiter said politely.

"Can we share a table?"

The more they said this, the more Jiang Defu became curious about what the coffee and steak in Western restaurants in this era tasted like, and why they were so influenced by the environment.

"These... other guests..."

The waiter seemed a little embarrassed. He didn't seem to expect that someone would offer to share a table. After all, this is a high-end restaurant where customers come first. There really is no such service unless...

"Has my seat been reserved for me?"

A gentle female voice sounded from behind.

"Ms. An, you're here! Your seat is upstairs, in the same place as before. You like to be alone. The window seat is specially reserved for you. Can I take you there?"

The waiter saw the people behind him and said hello with a smile, obviously meeting an old customer.

Jiang Defu turned his head and saw a fair-skinned girl in a floral dress behind him.

The girl has medium-long hair, fair skin, and although her facial features are not the traditional ones with big eyes, a high nose, or particularly bright eyes, for some reason, the combination creates a comfortable beauty.

How to describe it?
It was the gentle and pure beauty of the Jiangnan water town, and the voice was gentle and soft. Jiang Defu, who was used to seeing the worldly beauties in his previous life, couldn't help but feel a little softer in his heart.

"Thank you, David, no need! I'll just go there by myself, you guys go ahead and get busy!"

The woman said with a smile, walking around Jiang Defu and preparing to walk in.

"This lady!"

Jiang Defu called the woman directly.

Many opportunities have to be fought for by oneself. If you are thick-skinned, you can get rich, but if you are thin-skinned, you can't.

Since the waiter didn't say no to sharing tables, they couldn't disturb the customers, so he could just ask.

Now that I'm here, let's taste the differences in Western food in Qingcheng in this era today.

"You are……"

When the woman heard someone calling her from behind, she turned her head and looked at Jiang Defu in surprise.

"I would like to ask, are you dining alone?"

Jiang Defu asked with a smile.

"Yes……"

The woman hesitated. "That's right. I just came to Qingcheng not long ago. I went to this restaurant for the first time. I want to taste the coffee here. I don't know if I need to make a reservation. I wonder if I can share a table with you?"

"A table fight?"

The woman didn't seem to expect that anyone else would make such a proposal.

"Well, I'm just going to have a cup of coffee and try the steak here, and I'm going to Zhongshan Street to do some shopping later."

"Then... that's fine!"

The woman looked at Jiang Defu with earnest eyes and nodded sheepishly.

……

"Why are there still people sharing tables? Miss An likes silence the most..."

When Jiang Defu followed the woman in, the waiter at the door whispered.

"No one thought that someone would come up with the idea of ​​sharing a table. This is not a Chinese restaurant, but he is a guest. Miss An also agrees, let's... forget it, that person won't leave for a while, and other guests will be free, we can invite that person past……"

The foreman sighed.

……

"My name is Jiang Defu, a student from the artillery school. I have just arrived in Qingcheng less than a month ago."

The seats upstairs were indeed elegant and clean. They sat by the window and had an unobstructed view of the street outside.

After sitting down, Jiang Defu first introduced himself.

"My name is An Xin."

An Xin said generously. She seemed a little wary at first, but after seeing Jiang Defu's behavior and hearing about his profession, she felt relieved.

She is an office clerk in a pharmaceutical factory. She worked overtime for half a day last week. This Friday, she can take a half-day break in advance. She just wants to go out to have a cup of coffee and read a book.

She has a book stored in this Western restaurant, and she is a frequent visitor here.

In this day and age, life is difficult for many people, and it is not uncommon for people to starve to death in the countryside. There are not many people like An Xin who can often drink coffee in this Western restaurant to kill time.

Anxin's family conditions are not ordinary. They live in a wealthy family in Qingcheng.

An's father went abroad to study in the early years and studied Western medicine. After returning to China, he opened a clinic with the help of his family. Later, the business was good and he opened a hospital. Later, he also contracted the import and export of medical equipment business.

This business can be said to be hugely profitable. Within a few years, the An family became one of the richest families in Qingcheng.

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone!
The lives of people at different levels are vastly different.

For today's country people, such as Jiang Dehua and Zhang Guilan, they have never heard of coffee.

For An Xin, drinking coffee every week was a daily routine.

Same people but different fates!People are often incomparable!

"Are you reading Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina"?"

Jiang Defu saw a book beside An Xin's desk and asked with a smile when he saw the name on it.

This lady actually took a foreign literature book. This status was obviously unusual. Very few women in this era could read, let alone read foreign literature.

As for her coming to drink coffee, Jiang Defu was not surprised.

The situation is stable. Although many people have left, there are still many wealthy families in the city. Qingcheng is a special situation. It is not surprising that some ladies from wealthy families come to drink coffee.

But being able to read, read, and read foreign literature, a family background like this should not be underestimated!
