This small greenhouse in the basement is so popular that even singer Li Jian comes to sign in.

open a small shop

Seems like every girl's dream.

Beijing Sanlitun this shop

Flower shop, so to speak.

Because the eye can see

All flowers bloom brilliantly

Or a restaurant.

Because it's full of high-quality food.

to satisfy all your food desires.

This shop is hidden in the downtown area of Sanlitun, Beijing

Small facade, dozens of square meters

But inside it's full of flowers.

A lot of girls walk in

The first thought in his mind was:

"Oh my god, isn't this the greenhouse restaurant I've always wanted to open?"

Karen owns this flower shop.

is 33 years old

It's amazing what she went through.

She studied in England.

7 years in the Imperial Financial Circle

Vigorous, proper workplace gold collar

However, every day in and out of tall office buildings

It's dark after work every day

Looking out the window at the city at night

She always thinks

"Where the lights are dim, they are all the same."

Beijing, Beijing…

Is there really a life I want here?

In the seventh year of no feeling for the financial industry

She's gonna make some changes.

Karen always wanted to open a store.

" At worst, my dream will run into a wall. I'll find a job in finance. I won't starve to death…"

When she resigned, she cheered herself up like this

Leaving a job that others envy

Instead, she felt that Beijing's sky

It's bright.

But the road to dreams is never smooth.

At first, when choosing the site, he was cheated by the second landlord.

After months of searching,

Finally found Sanlitun this office building ground floor

When we find the place,

"But the catering service license has not been able to get down,

It was so serious that I almost gave up on opening a shop."

Open a shop, a lot of trivial things

Karen drew her own design.

If you don't know CAD, you can use hand-drawn.

Go online and search for pieces of furniture

and actually looking for it.

The result is just supplies and flowers

There are hundreds of columns in Excel.

Absolutely see the rhythm of the eyes

When we first opened up,

Karen had a plan.

To connect flowers and meals

So it took a year just to try out with the team.

To create the perfect menu

She also insists that good food

It must be a beautiful vessel to carry

So there was a time

The girl made the house look like a grocery store

filled with all kinds of cutlery.

After 10 months of building,

The store is finally taking shape.

Karen always remembered to tear down the trim.

The moment you turn on the first light,

At the time, she had wet eyes

"I feel like this shop is like my own newborn child."

It's worth the hardship of the renovation process

But reality continues to beat her hard.

First the shop LOGO, the first day actually all black

"Opening a shop and talking about winning the lottery. This is too much trouble. It's not going well…"

many shook their heads

And then there's less than a month after it opened.

A pipe burst and flooded the store.

Everyone in the store must evacuate immediately.

First time in my life.

Almost all the bad things happened to her

And the cost of that

Only those who have experienced it can understand

Buckets of water, bags of dirt.

You look like shit.

Even a monthly manicure

After opening a flower shop, it became an extravagant hope

Fingernails are often filled with mud, roughened, barbed, scratched...

At those moments when you want to give up

She gritted her teeth and said, hold on a little longer.

She knows it's easy to get back into finance.

But when I go back, my life will be really boring

Do something you love.

Let others feel your love.

That's the real fun of doing things.

Fortunately, all the efforts were not wasted.

what she didn't expect was

This small flower kitchen opened on the ground floor of the office building

In the first few months, I realized a profit.

And there was also a wave of big shots…

Li Jian left his signature next to a wine

Chen Jieyi especially likes the flower kitchen

I couldn't help but bring my own cookies for the clerk and Karen to try.

But what moved her more

It's the ordinary people who come here to eat...

She was most impressed by a couple who added up to 180 years old

From opening to Valentine's Day

Every time they hold hands, they leave hand in hand

Grandpa's eyes flashed with love for Grandma

It's very moving.

"We have never quarreled in 70 years of marriage.

Because Grandpa has a good temper." grandma said

Miss Zhong, who has just arrived in Beijing from Taiwan

There are strangers everywhere.

She accidentally broke into the flower kitchen

It turns out there's such a warm restaurant in Beijing

Before she leaves Beijing

Braving the rain to come to the kitchen

Leave a card.

It says,"You made me feel like home."

Kodi, a girl who loves illustrations, also fell in love with it

She likes to record every signature dish of the kitchen with a paintbrush

"I'm going to come up with an illustrated food book," she said.

There is Mr. A who works overtime for dinner every two days

Miss L, who encourages Karen to cheer up when business is down.

Mr. H, who successfully proposed here and invited everyone to drink beer...

Pieces make up the small fortune in ordinary time

More and more people like it here.

They're gonna come home from work

Come here, eat a meal, take a bunch of flowers and leave

Breakfast with flowers

Lunch with flowers

Flowers for dinner.

the most romantic thing is

Every dish, every dessert.

Every drink

Put in seasonal edible flowers…

Everything's fine.

that's life

You take care of it.

He will care for you.
