A coffee shop can trade books for coffee. A way to run a coffee shop.

There is such a cafe in Luoyang, where citizens can trade idle books at home for a cup of coffee and enjoy a leisurely day in the shop. Then the reporter went to visit. "when I see a good book, I can share it. I hope to build a platform that can calm my heart down." Zhang Chaoyang, head of the cafe, said.

"you can get a free cup of coffee in exchange for a free cup of coffee and enjoy a leisurely day with an idle book at home." Yesterday, Luoyang netizen "Mr. headset" sent such a Weibo. Books can be exchanged for coffee. What's going on?

According to the address provided by Weibo, the reporter found this cafe near the intersection of Jiefang Road and Triumph Road in Xigong District. The furnishings inside are very elegant. The sun shines on the broad sofa through large glass windows, and there are several rows of bookcases in the hall. There are a lot of magazines in it.

Zhang Chaoyang, who is in charge of the cafe, said that the trial opening just started on January 25. "both books and coffee can calm people down, and the combination of these two things can create a good atmosphere." He hopes to set up bookshelves in the cafe and build a platform where the heart can calm down. No matter who sees a good book, he can share it with all the customers in the cafe.

"it's casual. Just take a book to the store and put it on the shelf." Zhang Chaoyang said that in addition to magazines, textbooks and reference books, poems, essays and novels are all welcome. "there is no requirement for the new and old books, and the activity will continue for some time."

Zhang Chaoyang, 38, a native of Luoyang, once traveled to Xitang, Jiaxing, and fell in love with the beautiful environment and slow pace of life there, so he opened an inn in Xitang. As his parents grew older, Zhang Chaoyang returned to his hometown of Luoyang in November last year and planned to open an ancient town-style cafe to bring the slow life of Xitang. "opening a coffee bar in Luoyang is not ostentatious, not noisy, some old-fashioned, some thin, business deserted or even forgotten, which is not important, as long as there is one guest who drinks tea, sings and reads books in the lazy afternoon sun." This is how Zhang Chaoyang described the ideal cafe.

"the setting in the store is basically my own idea, simple and exquisite, so that people can sit down and precipitate their impetuous heart." Zhang Chaoyang said that at present, it is in the stage of trial operation, no matter who it is, they can go upstairs and sit down, and it is expected to open for business in the coming year.
