Chapter Ninety-Nine: The First Part-Time Job
"Kitchen helper?" The waiter who handed the maid dress to Lie was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "What are you kidding Lie about?" It's too wasteful to be a kitchen helper..."
"I'm waiting outside, please hurry."
As soon as the words fell, Gu Liang left the locker room, leaving Lie inside.
ββ¦β
"Why is this happening?" Lie looked at the maid dress in his hand, obviously he came to apply for a kitchen helper.
ββ¦β
"Well, why don't you try it first?"
Anyway, it's not the first time I've worn a maid's suit, and it's not the first time I've worn a woman's dress, so I've actually gotten used to it lately, right?
When Lie was thinking about this, he had already begun to undress, and when he reacted, he found that he had changed into a maid outfit.
ββ¦β
In every sense, I think the future will be very bad.
It is undeniable that the dress does fit well, and a very beautiful tall maid appears in the mirror.
"Hair looks like it's growing?" Lie frowned slightly, he hasn't cut his hair recently, so his hair has grown a lot, and as a boy, he definitely won't be like this.
But as a girl, this can only be said to be relatively normal, even a little short.
"Well, the hourly wage of a waiter is about twice as much as that of a kitchen helper... In fact, it's not unacceptable, after all, the expenses of nearly half a month depend on this part-time job..."
"Even if it's just me, Zero, and my sister, it will be a lot of expenses... So, so be it! β
Lie's eyes became firm, if it was for a living, then there was no way, besides, it was such a rare part-time job experience... Although it is slightly more than Lie's control.
"Lie is really beautiful!" The waiter walked in and was very pleased with the effect of Lie wearing a maid's outfit.
"It's a pity that the chest is flat... But don't worry, everyone's eyes will definitely be attracted to another place! Now, let's teach Lie some basic rules for receiving customers. Gu Liang held a copy of the employee rules in his hand and carefully introduced it to Lie.
In fact, it is not very complicated, about ten minutes or so, Lie has completely figured it out and done preliminary training.
"Just a guest came in and handed it over to you, Lie!"
β¦
Lie felt very strange at this time, half an hour ago he was still in the longing of a part-time job, and at this time he began to actually operate... Although it's different from what I imagined to be working hard to brush dishes and do chores, come on, Lie!
After a little adjustment, Lie is no longer particularly nervous... This is a guest who just came in half a minute ago, sitting by the window and looking at the menu.
The professional smile that Gu Liang had said before rose on his face, and after reciting the lines silently, Lie walked over.
"Is there anything you can help me with? My master. β
As a cosplay dessert shop, there is a theme every once in a while, and the most recent theme happens to be a maid. So, when communicating with guests, ask for "my host" at the end of every sentence.
"It's just work~" Lie said to himself in his heart, and then looked at the guest.
This is a young girl, who looks about the same age as Lie, with a flat chest and two ponytails, and looks a little sullen...
"Hey, I seem to feel a bad look..."The flat-chested double ponytail girl looked at Lie and looked down... Suddenly, the girl's eyes widened, and she turned to a very happy expression.
"Well, everyone is the same!"
ββ¦β
I really don't know what you're referring to, guest!
Lie paused for a moment and asked again, "What do you need?" My master. β
"A cup of black tea and a small serving of tarts."
"I'll come up for you at once, my master." After noting down the customer's needs, Yeol bent down towards her and walked towards the counter.
"A cup of black tea with a small serving of egg tarts."
ββ¦β
Soon, the items needed by the guest were brought from the back kitchen, and Lie put them on a plate for the guest.
"Black tea and egg tarts, please use them slowly, my master." Lie laid out the food and said to the girl... Well, it's pretty simple, and it's not a complicated thing in the first place.
ββ¦β
Everything went well, but when Lie wanted to leave, the girl looked at Lie with strange eyes and said, "Did you forget something?" β
βοΌοΌβ
Lie was surprised and looked at Gu Liang, who had been watching him nearby... Is there something wrong with that?
ββ¦ More delicious magic? Looking at Gu Liang's gesture towards himself, a black line appeared on Lie's forehead... Why do all the guests who come here add this kind of nothingness?
ββ¦β
Fortunately, with the experience of holding a maid restaurant in the class, Lie was able to deal with the first guest with ease.
"Barely passing, although it is a professional smile, but it would be nice to be more sincere... In addition, the guests have a good impression of Yeol, although most of it is due to some common feature. β
ββ¦β
Ryo doesn't care about that common trait, so he won't be angry... Won't be angry!
"Next, please advise." Lie felt like he was getting into the role quickly, and vaguely recalled that he seemed to have had a similar experience a long, long time ago.
Of course, it's not the experience of wearing a maid costume and working part-time at a cosplay dessert shop, but the experience of doing chores at a restaurant... At that time, it seemed that most of what I did was washing dishes and delivering food.
"Welcome, my master."
Seeing the door being pushed open, Lie smiled professionally and shouted softly to the guests who came in.
"Lie... Lie-sama? β
ββ¦β
Lie's body froze... Yes, I just wanted to be a kitchen helper at first, so I didn't think about meeting acquaintances. But now I'm a waiter, and it's not far from the school, so...
"Click", one of the two guests who came in immediately took out his mobile phone to take a picture, then blinked his eyes and made an OK gesture to Chaoyeol... It's useless to sell cuteness, so delete the photo quickly!
"Mie-san, Yazi-san..."
The two girls who came in were Blue Mountain. Meihui and Aoyama. Yazi, both of whom are Lie's classmates, often chatted together when they were at school.
"I didn't expect that in addition to the campus festival, there would be a chance to see Lord Lie wearing a maid costume... Is it okay to pose again? The angle just now was not very good..."
ββ¦β
Taking a deep breath, leaving aside the initial surprise, Lie gradually recovered.
"I'm sorry, this guest, if you want to take pictures at this restaurant, you have to get the permission of the waiter himself..."The manager here is very nice, although he has some strange hobbies, but he is very protective of the clerk, and tries to avoid some things that may not be good.
"So..."Yazi ran up to Lie and asked quietly, "Can I take pictures?" Lord Lie. β
ββ¦ Of course not! β
The corners of Lie's mouth twitched, if Yazi was allowed to take pictures, maybe the whole school would know about it tomorrow.
"And, the last one was troublesome to delete... Don't sell cute, it's useless! β
ββ¦β
"Two cups of coffee, two pieces of chocolate cake." After Mie sat down, she said to Yeol.
"Wait a minute, my master."
In the face of his two friends, Lie still tried his best to maintain his role as a maid and warmly entertained them... Of course, it is also necessary to refuse certain additional requests from Yazi.
"Lord Lie came here to work, is it really because of the festival?" After Yazi got serious, he asked curiously: "Among the chocolates that Lord Lie wants to give out, are there any shares of Yazi and Mihui?" β
The cute face, coupled with the expectant eyes, is indeed very lethal... But what exactly are you talking about?
Also, Lie was very confused before, but he didn't ask because he didn't seem to have anything to do with him... What exactly is the festival that the shopkeeper and Yazi are talking about at this time?
ββ¦β
"Huh? Don't you know at all? β
Ako blinked, looking incredulous, and Mie was also surprised.
"Since Lord Lie doesn't know about the festival, why do you work here?" Ako asked suspiciously.
"That's because..."
Yeol was about to say something, but the door was pushed open again, and a customer walked in.
"Welcome, how can we help? My master. β
ββ¦ Incense, incense? β
Familiar friends came one after another, and it was a strong classmate, Xiangfeng.
"Lord Lie? Meihui, Yazi? Xiangfeng was stunned for a moment after coming in, and then said with a smile: "Please wait a while, and come out after changing clothes." β
It turned out that Xiangfeng also worked in this shop, and he came a few days ago, and he was a temporary worker like Lie.
Xiangfeng was dressed in a cute maid outfit in black and white, with a little lace and rabbit ears, and turned around with a smile on her face, and then said very earnestly, "Welcome, what do you need?" My master. β
ββ¦β
It doesn't seem to be a level at all, and compared with the maid appearance that Lie barely made, Xiangfeng is obviously more proficient.
However, there is a fragrant wind here, and it seems that it will not be lonely for a while.
β¦
Lie stayed from morning to evening, and his salary was settled on the same day, so Lie specially bought a lot of ingredients to go home.
"I'm back." Lie opened the door and saw the shoes behind the door, and knew that Zero had returned.
βMasterοΌβ Zero quickly ran over when he heard the sound and hugged Lie.
"All of a sudden, what's going on?" After being hugged by Zero, Lie was a little overwhelmed, holding the ingredients in both hands and stretching out.
Zero buried his face in Lie's arms, paused for a moment before raising his head, and said with a firm face: "Master, Zero also has to work together!" β
"Huh? Eh~! β
Zero can say that a girl who can do it, especially after making up her mind, even Lie's orders may not be good.
β¦
Following.
ββ¦ So, is the store still recruiting? Lie led Zero, and when he came to work for the second time, he took her to ask the shopkeeper, that is, the bewitching burly man.
"Please take in Zero as a temporary worker!" Zero said firmly, while silently reading in his heart: "Zero... Zero is going to work with Master, and then on the day of the holiday..."
The shopkeeper looked at Zero, then at Lie again, and the atmosphere was tense for a while.
ββ¦ Yes, it's full. β
Obviously, the result was good, so Zero was replaced... Nurse uniforms?
As a cosplay dessert shop, the theme changes every other day, and today it happens to be a new theme ... Pink Nurse.
ββ¦β
"No, that's a good fit, Master!" Zero's eyes flashed with light, and even at the last school festival, he couldn't see Lie wearing such a costume.
"It's even worse now...", smiling bitterly and looking at the mirror, he was wearing a pink nurse's uniform... I really want to die, I can't love in life.
It's a very easy job for Zero, and Zero has been cooking food in the back kitchen during the last school festival and hasn't been able to come out and try to receive guests.
This time it just made up for the regret at that time, and the incense breeze was also here, and it suddenly had the atmosphere of a campus festival.
"Everyone, please come over here."
Gu Liang shouted to all the employees... Today, all the waiters, including those who have worked part-time before, and those who have recently been recruited as temporary workers, make a total of seven young girls.
Among them, Xiangfeng, Lie and Zero, and another girl are temporary workers, Gu Liang and another girl are long-term part-timers, and the last girl who looks older than everyone else is the only regular employee here.
When everyone arrived, Gu Liang nodded to the older girl, and she stood in the middle.
"Thank you for your hard work." The girl nodded first, and briefly introduced: "Gu Liang and Uemura, who have been working part-time, know better, but the four colleagues who just joined may not know yet..."
The store has a special sale in the days leading up to the festival, which attracts a large number of customers every year, and the main purpose of recruiting temporary workers is the sale.
ββ¦ The time was from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., a total of three hours. This full-time employee temporarily took over the role of store manager to introduce everyone, and Lie took those situations to heart.
It's not very complicated, and you may have to go to the door of the store to sell it at the beginning of the sale, as long as the weather is right.
"I see." Everyone nodded, and after finishing speaking, they scattered and began to prepare.
"Looks like it's going to be fun, Zero." As he walked, Lie said to Zero with some regret: "It's just that during this time, the entrusted task is going to be suspended." β
Move the necessary tables, chairs and other items to the door of the store, and take out nearly 100 boxes of cakes and other food that have been decorated, and after a decoration, the sale officially begins!
β¦
At seven o'clock in the evening, Lie and Zero walked on the road.
"It's really hard." Ryuben thought that the dessert shop should be more relaxed, but the truth seems to be a little off.
In the beginning, there were very few guests... After all the costumes were set up and the sale began, there was a long queue of customers who came to buy.
"It's delicious." Zero pondered carefully: "What exactly should be done to achieve this special taste?" β
"By the way, did you forget to say something?" Lie covered his forehead and walked forward slowly, and it took a long time to remember.
Festival! That's right, it's a festival.
After some understanding, Lie knew that an important festival belonging to this world was coming, and this festival was... Valentineβs Day!
The New Year is fast approaching, and before that, there are a series of festivals at similar times. The first is Valentine's Day, followed by Christmas, followed by the first month of the new year, and there will be a winter vacation, which is considered the month with the most festivals.
