Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"As I said before, there will be one or two new coffee shops opening in Gochome every once in a while," Mori Kogoro told Koshimizu Nanatsuki with a casual expression, "every time there are new shops opening nearby. Every now and then, Poirot's business will be impacted, and it will be deserted for a while, and after the customers are not impressed with the new coffee shop, some customers will come back, and Poirot's business will improve."

Mao Lilan also felt dumbfounded, and concluded, "So, whether Poirot's business is good or not has a lot to do with whether there is a new coffee shop in Gochome, and the degree to which the business in the shop is affected is also related to the newly opened coffee shop nearby. Whether it's one store or two stores."

"However, Poirot's food is delicious and affordable. The car can drive here, but the surroundings are relatively clean. Many customers will choose to come to Poirot again after experiencing the new coffee shop," Conan said with a smile to Enomoto Azusa , "So I think the boss must have confidence in the operation of his store. Miss Xiaozi doesn't have to worry too much. As long as she persists for a while, the business will improve again."

"Even if the boss is confident, he can't just do nothing," Azusa Enomoto sighed, and said melancholy, "And I can't help but be in a hurry, if I meet a new coffee with reasonable price, delicious food and continuous introduction of new products If the Café Poirot closes down, I will lose my job. Our boss is so talkative and pays a generous salary. Neighborhood relations here It’s very harmonious, and Mr. Mori and the police officers who come here often can also give people a sense of security, so I don’t want to lose my job..."

"That's it..." Mao Lilan looked at the deserted situation in the store, and felt that Enomoto Azusa's worry was not unreasonable, so she looked at Chi Feichi hesitantly, "Then, should Brother Feichi think of a way? Brother Chi will make a lot of special food, as long as there are simple, delicious and unique new food like strawberry crystal cake in the store, and then promote it, it should be able to attract customers to taste it, right?"

"I thought about it too, but we can't bother Mr. Chi every time. Every time such a problem arises, Mr. Chi needs to help him. It is impossible for him to have so many food recipes suitable for coffee shops. Such a business model will also It makes me feel like a terminally ill person who can only rely on some kind of medicine to prolong his life, but it cannot be completely cured," Enomoto Azusa frowned and sighed, seeing Mao Lilan frown and thinking, suddenly realized that he had given up the burden early in the morning. Energy transfer, and quickly cheered up, "Sorry, I complained so much to you all at once. In fact, the business in the store has been affected recently, and I can take the opportunity to be lazy for a while. It's not too bad. Please order first, I will I will prepare the food for you as soon as possible!"

"Yes..." Hearing what Azusa Enomoto said, Mao Lilan decided to order first, but it was a little difficult when he saw the menu.

Is there anything else Poirot can order today?

Koshimizu Nanatsuki also looked down at the menu and turned on the analysis mode, "Recently, Poirot's guests should all be regulars who come to have breakfast, and no one will come here for small gatherings, so pizza and salad will appear at friends' gatherings. Food, which is not prepared in the store, also needn’t be considered. There are also foods that require a variety of ingredients, such as raw vegetable chowder, and seafood meals that test the freshness of ingredients, especially those that require fresh ingredients and are slow to prepare. Troublesome clam chowder..."

Azusa Enomoto: "..."

Summary in place.

None of those stores.

Chi Feichi turned his head to look at Azusa Enomoto and said, "Chicken bacon macaroni and a cup of black tea, thank you."

Azusa Enomoto nodded quickly, "No problem, these stores have them all, and I'll be ready soon!"

"Two-color sandwich..." Conan looked at the menu in Mori Kogoro's hand, and added, "If there are no other sandwiches, other sandwiches are fine. If there are only apples, lemons and watermelons in the store, please give me a glass of watermelon juice."

"The store should prepare cakes..." Nanatsuki Koshimizu said to Azusa Enomoto after thinking about it, "Miss Azusa, if you have cakes, give me a cake with black tea."

Mao Lilan smiled at Enomoto Azusa, "I'm just like Conan!"

"Then I'll..." Mori Kogoro looked at the menu for the last time, "Just like Feichi, eat chicken bacon macaroni and a cup of coffee. By the way, Miss Xiaozi, I still want this morning morning paper!"

Azusa Enomoto wrote down the food ordered by the five people, delivered the newspaper to Kogoro Mori, and turned back to prepare food and drinks.

Mao Lilan looked at the busy Enomoto Azusa, and said in a low voice, "Miss Azusa is still very motivated."

Mori Kogoro opened the newspaper and complained in a low voice, "Maybe it's because he's still in a bad mood and wants to numb himself with being busy."

Mao Lilan looked around the deserted store again, and sighed softly, "This time Poirot seems to be more affected than before. Today is a holiday, but there are no other customers besides us."

"It's normal. In fact, Miss Xiaozi's premonition is not wrong." Chi Feichi also took a newspaper and flipped through it. He didn't deliberately lower his voice while speaking, and concluded very casually, "The coffee shops in the 5-chome area, They all fell into a slow death."

"ah?"

Behind the bar, Azusa Enomoto's face turned pale, and the movements of her hands stopped, "Dead, are you dead?"

"Feichi, isn't what you said too exaggerated?" Mori Kogoro glanced at Chi Feichi speechlessly, and continued to read the newspaper, "Customers only go to the newly opened coffee shop because they think it's new. Poirot's stuff It’s delicious and affordable, in my opinion, customers will come back in a few days!”

Chi Feichi also looked at the front page of the newspaper and insisted on his opinion, "Most of the people who come to Polo Café are residents of Mihua Town, but the current Mihua Town 5-chome, and even the entire Mihua Town, have a shortage of customers. problem, and the source of customers continues to lose, so I said slow death."

"Hey, Feichi," Mori Kogoro finally couldn't bear to put down the newspaper, and broke up with Chi Feichi seriously, "Mihua Town has developed very well these years, and the new Mihua Shopping Mall built last year is nearby, Mihua Town , Residents in Kuboto-cho will go there to shop, you should know this, right? The daily flow of people on that street is an astonishing number, and it only takes six or seven minutes to walk here!"

"Everyone goes to Mihua Mall to shop, and during the shopping period, they drink coffee at the coffee shop in the mall," Chi Feichi asked bluntly, "You don't think that after shopping for half a day, someone Are you still in the mood to drink coffee in a coffee shop in a nearby street?"

Mori Kogoro choked, "You're right..."

"The coffee shop consumers brought by the mall are basically digested by the coffee shops and restaurants inside the mall, and they seldom come to Poirot here for coffee," Chi Feichi continued, "and the mall also brings some coffee shops nearby. Residents also gravitate there to shop, to drink coffee, and after they have had coffee, they don’t come to Poirot for coffee on the way home.”

Mao Lilan concluded, "So, not only did the mall not bring Poirot any customers, but it actually took away some of them, right?"

"That's right, it's not just the influence of that shopping mall," Chi Feichi said, "Female high school students are also a large group of customers of street coffee shops, but with the development of cities, travel has become more and more convenient. During the holidays, I prefer to go shopping in famous commercial circles together, and I also spend money in the coffee shops and dessert shops in those places, and after I come back, I will never patronize the coffee shops on the street again.”

Mao Lilan felt guilty for a moment when she thought that she often went out shopping, and then asked curiously, "What about male high school students? Boys rarely go shopping in commercial streets together during holidays, right?"

"It is true that male high school students seldom go shopping, but they also seldom come to coffee shops to sit and drink coffee," Chi Feichi said without hesitation. Buying drinks or mineral water, they are not the customer group of street coffee shops at all.”

Mao Lilan, Conan: "..."

It seems so.

"However, there will also be boys who don't like to run and jump, and are usually quieter?" Mori Kogoro said, "Feichi, you should be a person who likes to be quieter. Before, you wouldn't meet your friends at a coffee shop. shall we meet?"

"Teacher, you are overthinking," Chi Feichi said calmly, "I had no friends in high school."

Maori Kogoro:"……"

Sorry, he really thought too much.

"Introverted men who like to be quiet may go to the coffee shop alone for consumption," Chi Feichi continued, "but introverted male high school students who like to be quiet may prefer to stay at home drinking black tea or be alone. It’s troublesome to buy bottled drinks from vending machines while walking in the park, and to talk to the clerk at the cafe.”

"Is Mr. Chi like this when he was in high school? You're really introverted," Azusa Enomoto sighed, and left the bar with a tray of sandwiches and cakes, "But I also discovered that male high school students who come to coffee shops are very introverted." Little, either I came here with other people, or because I didn’t make breakfast at home, and I was in a hurry to go somewhere, so I just found a place to have breakfast.”

Mao Lilan recalled the nearby shops, "In the past two years, it seems that more than one breakfast shop has opened nearby..."

"Yeah, so in our place, male high school students are a rare species," Enomoto Azusa put the things on the table, and began to worry again, "The customers of the coffee shop have really been separated."

Mori Kogoro sighed melancholy, "After all, this is also the impact of the development of the times."

"Since it is a problem brought about by the development of the times, it can also be solved by the things brought about by the development of the times, right?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki's eyes lit up, she looked at Azusa Enomoto and said, "Miss Azusa, Poirot Coffee Has the restaurant opened an online merchant blog?"

"Not yet," Enomoto Azusa returned to the bar with a tray, "The boss said not long ago that the registration materials are ready, but after the blog is opened, someone needs to post new food information to the blog regularly, and take good pictures. I upload food photos and pay attention to customers' comments. The boss is worried that I can't handle it alone, so I haven't officially opened the blog yet. However, with the business situation these days, I have a lot of time to manage the blog. I would like to persuade The boss should open the blog as soon as possible, and I can also take advantage of this time to post photos of the meals on the blog.”
