How did I become the Lord of Evil Gods?

Chapter 204 Pier Conflict

"This is the part that our Scarlet Relief Society is responsible for at the port terminal, and this is where you will work next."

After signing the agreement, the previous female waiter took Yun Mu and Dunn to the south of Shuangluo Port Pier.

"It's really a lively place."

Dunn, disguised as Stannie, looked at the crowd of people in front of him and said.

"It's really lively."

Yun Mu nodded in agreement. This was her first time coming to Shuangluo Port, and this was also her first time seeing the sea in reality.

So her eyes couldn't help but look around, which seemed to fit her unworldly persona of a Chamber of Commerce lady.

People from all walks of life worked here, and sailors were busy unloading, loading, checking the condition of ropes and rigging, and performing repairs and cleaning.

The cargo storage area is filled with lumber, conches, industrial raw materials and other import and export goods.

In addition to this, the terminal's buildings include warehouses, terminal offices and a steam freight service center.

"As soon as you start working, you should be responsible for some chores. If you don't understand anything, you can ask other apprentices, then watch and learn hard. When the time comes, I will let you handle some simple ingredients."

She looked around at the berth in the port and saw many types of ships. Among them, large merchant ships accounted for almost 90% of the entire port.

At least there aren't too many stains on the surface, but because I have to cook every day, it is inevitable that there will be some oil stains on the counter and corners, making it look a little shiny.

The dock office is where ship owners, freight forwarders and customs officials handle shipping and customs matters.

"Ok."

After changing clothes in the dressing room, she and Dunn were quickly separated under the arrangement of the female waiter.

Yun Mu and Dunn nodded, followed the female waiter, and went to the warehouse to get a brand new work uniform each.

There is no such thing as working overtime late at night.

Well, although Yun Mu feels that getting off work at eight or nine o'clock in the evening is already very late.

As for your question about why she knows so much about this place, it is mainly because, after knowing that she was going to work here, she went out to find Breonna for a while yesterday.

This kind of argument can probably only deceive those honest workers.

What's more, her natural affinity will not diminish even if her appearance changes. If she uses it more, it can play a big role.

Sure enough, as if considering the identities of the two of them, the female waiter added silently after saying this: "Just listen to this, I don't think you will believe it."

"But if you can, please don't tell the workers your unnecessary thoughts. This will cause trouble for me, you, and the workers."

But does this also mean that this kitchen is quite willing to use oil and water when cooking for the workers?

Just kidding, how could she judge the usual amount of oil used in the kitchen based on this alone? It was just a casual talk.

The female waiter thought casually in her heart.

Thinking about it, judging from her ability to write, she should have received a certain level of education.

"We are very aware of this, so please don't worry." Dunn chuckled and said with a rather graceful look.

"This is the newly expanded area of ​​the dock. It was bought by the investor of our union, Lord Siman. It is precisely because of that Lord that we can have jobs here."

Steam freight service centers provide dockworkers and sailors with basic services such as food, beverages and accommodation.

This thing is not much different from what Yun Mu remembered. It is gray-blue in color and the surface is a bit rough to the touch. It is obviously not a delicate object, but it is strong and durable and easy to clean.

The buildings are made of masonry and wood, and some of them may have been there for decades.

Before they separated, Dunn asked her to improve her impression in the eyes of others as much as possible. According to the words in the game, that is to gain favor with NPCs.

"I'll take you to get your work clothes and the changing room. Come with me." She turned around and walked towards the warehouse not far away.

"I hope you can keep this in mind when you are working and don't forget it."

After taking Yun Mu to the public kitchen, the sturdy chef explained to her calmly.

Because of the union, although the entry and exit of ships is carried out around the clock, the work of ordinary workers ends at eight or nine o'clock in the evening.

The last remaining 10% are all fishing boats and small cargo ships.

Most of the ships anchored here are from Florinda, which serves as a transfer station for the transportation of goods from the Heling Empire.

Does chores mean cleaning?

Under the leadership of a somewhat muscular chef, Yun Mu was taken to the public kitchen at the southern dock, while Dunn went to move the cargo boxes with the old people at the construction site.

Among them, there are also a considerable number of precious commodities that were transported from the colonies of the New World to Florinda after traveling long distances, passing through the Broken Star Sea, and then passing through the Sea of ​​Exile.

Unlike most kitchens that are dirty and messy in my impression, this public kitchen looks quite clean.

The female waiter told the story of the Siman noble in a calm tone. Judging from her expression, it was probably just a requirement of the job.

Although with the appearance of this brother and sister, they are very conspicuous even in work clothes.

She probably didn't admire Siman personally as her words showed.

This is a large port responsible for importing and exporting goods, and fishing is just a casual thing.

The main reason for this phenomenon is due to the main purpose of Shuangluo Port.

The female waiter glanced at him, then suddenly remembered something and said, "Remember to put on work clothes when you work. Your current clothes are too conspicuous."

After all, many secrets will only be told to you when others have a good impression of you. In short, it is always right to improve your impression in the eyes of others.

Although I don’t know if it is useful, there is no harm in knowing more about it.

While Yun Mu was guessing in his mind, he nodded seriously to the other party: "Yes, I understand!"

Well, those words just now were Dunn’s exact words.

natural affinity

Does it refer to the special effects that her title of Beloved of the Gods gets after some of its effects are activated?

Or does it refer to the effect of charming charm and verbal affinity?

Or is it all three?

Hmm. Anyway, Dunn seems to be able to feel her so-called affinity.

I don’t know whether this was sensed by his extraordinary ability or whether it was judged purely by feeling. I always felt that it was a bit unexpected.

And what happened next was exactly as Yun Mu expected. The so-called chores are just cleaning the kitchen.

She doesn't have to carry the buckets, throw the kitchen garbage where the garbage should go, or use wire balls to scrape away stubborn stains!

Perhaps because of the affinity Dunn mentioned, Yun Mu was given light tasks that were not so physically demanding, such as sweeping the floor and wiping dust from gaps in glass windows.

After a while, Yun Mu had all these little things taken care of.

Taking into account what Dunn had said before about her need to improve everyone's favor as much as possible, Yun Mu, who had nothing to do after finishing her work, took the initiative to find the old man who was responsible for arranging work for everyone, hoping that the other party would not need to take care of her so much.

"Have you finished all the work that was assigned to you earlier?" The middle-aged man, who was wearing the same work clothes as Yun Mu, but with a clean apron over it, asked after learning of her request.

"Yes." Yun Mu nodded: "I'm done!"

Just kidding, as an extraordinary person, she just does that kind of simple work. Isn’t it something that can be done easily and can be completed in minutes?

What's more, this public kitchen is quite clean to begin with. To be honest, there isn't much room for cleaning.

Among those chores, what is really difficult to deal with is the food waste generated in the kitchen and the large amount of tableware that needs to be washed after the workers finish their meals.

After all, there is no plastic in this era, and those disposable products have not yet entered the stage of history.

Therefore, workers use metal lunch boxes to eat. After queuing up to receive lunch, the lunch boxes must be put together after the meal, and finally cleaned by new workers like Yun Mu.

But it's not time to eat yet, so there is no work for her to wash the dishes yet.

"Well." After roughly checking her cleaning results, the middle-aged man asked her after thinking for a moment: "Can you chop vegetables?"

"Yes." Yun Mu nodded without any hesitation.

"very good."

After receiving an affirmative answer, the middle-aged man said with a satisfied look: "It's lunch time in two hours. The kitchen usually prepares in advance at this time."

"Since you can chop vegetables, please help the chefs in the kitchen."

"Ok!"

Yun Mu immediately agreed, and was then taken to the core area of ​​the kitchen. He washed his hands clean in advance, put on the same white apron as the others, picked up the kitchen knife next to the sink, and prepared it. .

Hmm. Although it is not the square kitchen knife she is familiar with, it is still no problem to use it to simply cut some vegetables.

She waited confidently. Within a few minutes, a fat man holding a huge spoon and wearing a gray and white chef's uniform walked into the room. After his eyes lingered on Yun Mu for a moment, he said:

"Prepare lunch!"

"Today I'm going to make salt-baked mashed potatoes, Northland grain stew, and kelp fish soup. Everyone, please take action!"

The fat chef gave instructions concisely. Because lunch must be provided to everyone on the construction site, cooking in the public kitchen not only requires the use of a large pot, but also requires everyone to perform their respective duties and cooperate.

For example, Yun Mu's job at this time is to cut vegetables, and next to her, a young man standing in front of the sink, his job is obviously to wash vegetables.

The two of them cooperated with each other and put all the processed vegetables into the large pot on the side.

When a pot is almost full, a chef will take it away and start cooking the pot of stew.

Obviously, the taste will not be very good, but in the public kitchen, the food is originally cooked in a big pot. If it is not unpalatable, it will be considered a victory. Why do you need so many requirements?

What's more, compared to other places, the ingredients used and the food cooked in this public kitchen are of high quality.

There are staple foods, vitamins, and meat. It’s not hard to eat, and I’m full. What else do I need is a bicycle.

It’s no wonder that so many workers have switched jobs to work for the Scarlet Relief Society, and the reputation seems to be very good.

Yun Mu analyzed it in his mind while chopping vegetables.

"That newcomer over there, the girl with blond hair, don't look, she's talking about you."

After spending about forty minutes to chop all the vegetables, the fat chef from before suddenly greeted her.

"Um, what's the matter with calling me?" Yun Mu put down the kitchen knife and looked at the other party with some confusion.

"Have you cooked before?" the fat chef asked, looking at the cutting board behind her, where neatly cut carrots were placed.

"I have done some." Hearing the fat chef's question, Yun Mu said without too much hesitation.

After all, this person is the chef of this public kitchen. It can improve her impression in the other party's mind, which presumably will help her and Dunn's investigation.

"Yeah." After hearing her answer, the fat chef touched his chin: "What's your name?"

"Lilith, my name is Lilith!"

Not forgetting the role he played at all, when Yun Mu said her name at this time, he also deliberately made a greeting gesture according to aristocratic etiquette.

Now, this is called professionalism.

As the daughter of a businessman, Lilith has received a noble education, so her behavior is completely in line with her character.

"Well, I see."

The fat chef nodded, then turned around and continued to direct others in the kitchen.

what?

Just ask for your name, no more communication?

Yun Mu was stunned for a moment, and then felt a little discouraged. It was rare that she thought the investigation would make any progress, but it ended like this.

However, this small setback did not affect her for long. In less than five minutes, she readjusted and continued chopping vegetables.

Soon, as the overflowing aroma filled the sky above the dock, it was time for the workers to take a lunch break!

Dunn, who was covered in dust and "looked" exhausted, came to her side with the same lunch box as Yun Mu's, sat down casually, and asked her in a low voice:

"How about it? Did you find anything in the public kitchen?"

"Not yet." Yun Mu shook her head. She was about to explain to Dunn what she had done this morning. Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a sudden noise on the dock in the distance.

"What happened?" Interrupted by the sudden sound, Yun Mu looked in the direction of the sound with some strangeness.

"It seems like someone started a fight." Dunn seemed to have seen what happened over there and explained to her.
