603.Maid Cafe(2/4)
"oh?"
Xu Xin's eyes lit up:
"It means the word "cute" was created by them?"
"Yes. So I recommend choosing here."
Shangyuan Ai gave the reason why he brought Xu Xin here.
But there was another reason she didn't actually say.
She didn't dare take Xu Xin to a cartoon-style maid shop.
That cartoon style has become popular in the past two years. Compared with stores like HOME CAFE or the oldest Cure Maid Café in Tokyo, cartoon style maid cafes are more about service than coffee and taste.
.
The maid is indeed getting cuter and cuter.
But...as a Japanese, she also has her own national pride.
Maid cafes are Japan's otaku culture, allowing foreigners to recognize their own country's culture. Being Japanese feels like a very honorable thing.
But the more glorious the matter, the less likely it is to be messed with.
That cartoon style has lost the essence of the "cafe".
But this is not the case in this kind of old shop. Their service is definitely above the standard, but it is not so impeccable. Moreover, the taste of the coffee and the flavor of the food can also be guaranteed.
Although there is no maid who hugs your arm as soon as you enter the door and calls out "Master" to make you feel European and warm, the overall style is definitely not embarrassing.
And look at Director Xu’s appearance…
Seems very satisfied too.
…
Xu Xin is indeed satisfied.
The birthplace of the buzzword "cute"...can you gain knowledge no matter what?
So, he followed Shangyuan Ai to the door of HOME CAFE.
As soon as I walked to the door, the single door was pushed open. A girl with a standard black and white matching, a good-looking girl... not particularly tall, but not ugly either. After pushing the door, she enthusiastically muttered a few words to the three people.
Xu Xin didn't understand the other words, but he did understand the sentence "A dog shows off his gold."
The meaning of "master".
Hey, people are so warm in my childhood.
Following Shangyuan Ai's communication, the three of them followed the maid into the cafe.
The first reaction was that there were a lot of people.
There are many guests and many maids.
Some are wearing black skirts, white aprons and black silk.
Some are black skirts and white aprons with white silk...
The hall, which was only about a hundred square meters, was filled with guests, and these maids were fluttering in the aisles like butterflies.
Then, Xu Xin didn't know what happened, but he heard the maid who led the three of him in said something, and then a group of maids shouted a slogan at him in unison.
"They said: Welcome home, Master."
After receiving Shangyuan Ai's translation, Xu Xin nodded.
Then continue to follow the maid to the only empty corner table.
This table has two rows of seats and one row of stools against the wall.
The European log sofa-style bench covers the entire row of four tables.
Near the aisle are European-style seats.
When Xu Xin arrived, there happened to be two maids standing in front of the table next to the empty table.
Through the arms of the two maids, Xu Xin vaguely saw one maid using a piping bag to draw pictures on the coffee, while the other maid was writing something with ketchup on the omelette rice.
Although he didn't see the guest, he knew this process.
It seems to express that these coffees and omelette rice are all made by the maid herself.
And just when he was two steps away from the table, he suddenly saw the two maids spinning around the table in unison. He didn't understand the words, but he heard the onomatopoeia.
A real one.
"KIU~KIU~BUQIA~BUQIA~"
After the two girls circled around and made cute movements, they scratched with their hands like cats, and then Xu Xin heard a male voice from the unknown guest in front of the two girls:
"MOUEI~MOUEI~"
This is exactly the word "cute" in Shangyuan Ai's mouth.
Then, amidst the applause and cheers of the two girls, the omelette rice and coffee were brought up by the two girls. A middle-aged woman who looked very familiar to Xu Xin came around from behind the two of them, holding a Polaroid in her hand.
Gotta...take a photo of Chen Rui, who is "hugging me left and right."
"...??????"
Looking at Chen Rui, who is squinting at the camera and making a "V" gesture, sandwiched between the maids...
Xu Xin was numb.
Completely numb.
no……
Is it really such a coincidence?
He looked straight at Chen Rui, completely dumbfounded.
After taking a photo with the maid, Chen Rui also noticed a guest coming next to him.
First he looked at Shangyuan Ai and Su Meng.
After seeing these two people... I was also stunned.
Then search subconsciously.
He met Xu Xin's eyes directly.
"..."
"..."
There really is no place in life where we don’t meet each other.
Xu Xinxin said.
…
"Three pieces of omelette rice set, Director Xu, can you please take a look?"
"good."
Xu Xin nodded.
The menu looked quite simple. After he answered, he heard Chen Rui next to him say:
"Director Xu, you can try their maid's hand-made Dafu, it's delicious."
"Okay, then add five more blessings."
"No, no, I'll order it too."
Understanding what Xu Xin meant, Chen Rui smiled and waved his hand.
Seeing this, Xu Xin did not force it, but asked curiously:
"Mr. Chen comes here often?"
"right."
Chen Rui smiled and nodded:
"I come to Akihabara four to five times a year, and basically I come here every time. But I didn't come to this restaurant before, so I came here with the barista. Wherever the barista goes, I go.
where."
As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of the bar.
Xu Xin glanced at it and could vaguely see a male barista brewing coffee there.
Then, Chen Rui seemed to remember something and quickly said to his translator next to him:
"Let Yichuan-kun add three cups of coffee and use my beans."
The translator nodded and picked up the golden rattle in front of the table.
"Dingling~"
