Dolly on the other side also said: "I don't need that much money, as long as... as long as I can have three carrots and three cucumbers every day!"

Is this enough for you to eat?

If I really pay two people this much, will I be accused of child labor abuse?

"Just kidding, they are all my friends."

I quickly pulled them over and introduced them to Su Yunjin: "This is Yin Duoli, this is Yin Yueyue, whose English name is Lilith, Duoli, Yueyue, and this is our boss, Su Yunjin. You can call him Brother Su, or just boss."

After Xiaomo's teaching, Duoli and Yueyue now have more or less understanding of human society, so they should be clear about the meaning of the word "boss".

Anyway, during the month I worked in the coffee shop, Tongmeng.com basically did not send anyone to communicate with us, nor did they interfere with the marketing of the coffee shop. Almost all the work was done through Su Yunjin, so there was no problem in calling him the boss.

"Are you from the same place as Gabriel?"

Su Yunjin seemed to be thinking about something. He took a step towards Duoli and Yueyue, looked at them carefully, and showed an expression of "same as what I thought": "No need to be so formal and call me boss. Just call me Brother Ji or Brother Su like Nuo'er did before."

"Why do you call me Brother Ji?"

Dolly seemed a little confused: "Is it... some kind of code?"

I blurted out: "Yes, this is his online name."

"Tsk, I should have used some elegant words when naming the author. Now..."

Su Yunjin looked hurt: "So many beautiful girls' first impression of me is that I'm gay."

"I think Jitu Tonglong is pretty good."

I joked, "A die-hard Kamen Rider fan, anyone who's an expert will know it right away."

My author name at that time was not very good, Uncle Loves Lolita. It was all thanks to Xiaomo who saved me. Otherwise, I would have gone out later... Hey, do you know that uncle over there? The pen name Uncle Loves Lolita is so vulgar...

"Stop teasing me..."

Su Yunjin smiled bitterly and said, "Then I will report the matter of these two people to the headquarters. You can send me their identity information when you have time. You can handle the rest on your own."

"I will take full charge?"

I asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid that I will arrange for some of my relatives to come in and receive the minimum living allowance?"

"I believe in Nuo'er's character. Besides, I actually hope you can arrange for your aunts and uncles to come in."

Su Yunjin smiled and said, "Nuo'er, you don't know how cute you are. Your followers on Tongmeng.com are increasing at a speed that is almost catching up with some big UP hosts. I believe your aunts and uncles will not be much worse."

What do you mean my aunts and uncles can’t be that bad? I don’t have any relatives either.

You managers are really good at fooling people...

Su Yunjin looked so relieved that I didn't know what to say for a moment, so I had to change the subject: "How is the situation here? Did you not sleep the whole night?"

"Don't worry, I can make it. Those who can come here are either professional players or big anchors. Staying up late is a common occurrence for them."

Su Yunjin gestured to the players of the team who were playing with Gabriel nearby and said, "We have now used the mouths of these anchors to spread our reputation. We just need to wait for the game to be launched at the end of the month."

"The end of the month?!"

I was a little surprised: "Is it ahead of schedule?"

"It will be about these two months. In two days, I will ask the workers to come here again at night to clear the road and build a staircase leading directly to here from the outside. The door will be bigger and more luxurious. This way, we don't need to go through the small door behind the cat climbing frame to enter and exit in the future."

Su Yunjin yawned and said, "The charging standard here can be raised a bit. After all, the configuration is already top-notch."

“Why do we always have to work at night?”

"That can't be helped. We have to open in the morning. If we have to close in the first few days after opening, it will be very damaging to our reputation."

"If we do construction at night, the cost will be very high, right?"

"Double salary, but since it's Tongmeng.com that's paying, I'll just take what I can."

"..."

While chatting with Su Yunjin, I noticed that several anchors around me had opened live broadcast rooms. Some used mobile phones, while more used the cameras and live broadcast software in the computer room.

Most of these anchors were in a special box with the door ajar, and all kinds of noises could be heard coming from inside -

"I will not lose this time, brothers. If I lose again, I will...eat this computer screen right here!"

"Really? The host is not exaggerating, nor is he taking advantage of me. You can come here and experience the lights and the atmosphere... Do you see the thunderclouds behind the host? This is the first time I've seen such a design."

"Tongmeng.com has invested a lot of money. I really don't understand how they trained such a monster. This girl seems to be from America. She speaks Mandarin very well and plays games like a cheat..."

"Today is the last day. It's really free. Everyone can use the computer for two hours for free with their ID card... No, why don't you believe it? The Apocalypse 3000 graphics card is not a cheap brand. The others are professional electronic products..."

It may be that the computers and related equipment supplied by Xiongxiong's company have all arrived in the past few days. At this time, there are a lot of people on the underground floor of the coffee shop, and the machines almost fill all the private rooms. It feels like it is almost catching up with the scale of a large Internet cafe.

Philo, who originally made milk tea on the second floor, was also transferred here to mix cocktails and sell some convenience foods, such as sandwiches and hot dogs, in the small compartment in the middle.

At the entrance, there are several rows of "hall hosts" decorated in a particularly gorgeous way. The price of these machines is relatively affordable, only four yuan an hour. On the left is a small e-sports area, which costs six yuan an hour. Then there are various luxury boxes, five-seat boxes, couple boxes and so on. These boxes are more expensive, ranging from ten to twenty yuan.

In addition, there is a special VR area here. Currently, there are relatively few supported games. However, it is said that after the public beta of "Age of Aquarius", the VR area is likely to become lively, because games like "Age of Aquarius" focus on the first-person perspective and atmosphere, and the immersion can be said to be maximized when wearing a helmet, a handle, and a somatosensory suit.

In addition to the equipment that an Internet cafe should have, the basement here also provides certain "entertainment" measures. For example, the central open space not far away is divided into smoking and non-smoking areas, where people can chat, make friends, and play board games. Various popular games are provided here, such as Three Kingdoms Kill and Monopoly, which are all provided free of charge, but drinking and lighting cigarettes require money.

For example, now I see many people who don’t play games, but come to the lobby to have a drink or play with their phones because they have seen related advertisements and think the atmosphere here is great. It feels like a “cyberpunk lounge bar”.

What I admire most is the ventilation duct design here, which is a far cry from the impression of Internet cafes filled with smoke. When I was a kid, no matter which area I went to in the Internet cafe, I would smell of smoke when I came out. Here, because of the air conditioning and excellent air ducts, as long as I don't go to the smoking area, even someone with such a sensitive sense of smell can't smell much smoke.

"Since there's no problem on your side, I'll take them up and prepare to try running."

After chatting with Su Yunjin about the recent situation of the coffee shop, I took Dolly and Yueyue back to the first floor.

It seems that Su Yunjin will need several days to promote the e-sports area on the underground first floor. I don’t know much about Internet cafes, so let them do it for now.

At present, Filo likes this city very much. After work every day, she will run around and play. Although I don’t know where this black dragon goes crazy at night, considering that she is a giant dragon that has lived for thousands of years and knows how to get along with humans, and Xiaomo is watching her, she will not cause any trouble.

As for Gabriel, it was even more reassuring. She seemed to have been completely addicted to the world of online games. She was too lazy to even go home for meals. She had been sitting here since last night. Su Yunjin said that if they hadn't helped to bring food, this angel lady would have forgotten to eat three meals a day.

Only someone with a body like Gabriel's can endure it. If it were an ordinary person, there would definitely be health problems if they did this. Children shouldn't learn this.

Duoli and Yueyue are very determined to come here to work. According to Xiaomo, both of them are long-lived and are still growing up. They are curious about everything and willing to do everything. Even if there is no salary, letting them work in the coffee shop for decades will not exhaust the patience of these two little ones.

"The thing that long-lived species lack the most is patience, because those long-lived species with a strong sense of time have all become extinct."

——This is what Xiaomo said to me.

Their situation is closer to a kind of "belief". Both of them regard being able to come to Earth to help and to have this experience as a gift. If you don't let them work, the two little ones will probably get frustrated and wonder if they are not qualified enough to get the glory of the job.

It can be said to be the ecstatic character of capitalists.

However, even if Duoli and Yueyue come to work with a purpose: to train themselves, to cultivate their character, to release their energy, and don't care about the salary or anything like that, as the "store manager", I'd better show some sincerity on my side.

"For our takeaway delivery, we will temporarily follow the treatment set by Sister Ouyang."

I took Duoli and Yueyue back to the first floor. I found some documents left by Ouyang Xue in the staff lounge and said to them, "Because the job of takeaway is quite special and different from the waiters in the store, we use a base salary plus commission. The base salary here is tentatively set at 3000 yuan. As for the commission, you can get about 3 yuan per order, with no upper limit."

Considering that the two of them might not be very interested in things like contracts, I simply explained to them in front of them how the cafe treats couriers.

Ordinary local deliverymen do not have a basic salary. The price of an order is generally around 3 to 6 yuan, and most of the time it is 3 or 4 yuan. A few areas have some subsidies, such as rainy day subsidies. The coffee shop sets the unit price at 3 yuan to lower the cost of delivery as much as possible, ensuring that the price is about the same for people who order takeout and those who eat in the coffee shop. It seems a bit exploitative of the deliverymen, but because of the existence of a basic salary, the income from delivering food here will not be low, which is similar to transferring the cost to the store.

Otherwise, if the delivery man is given a very high commission, such as 6 or 7 yuan per order, this money can only be paid through ingredients or by the customers who place orders.

Ouyang Xue had done a market research before. In places like Minaminagi District in Kamihama City, if a novice deliveryman cannot find the specific location, he can probably only deliver about ten orders a day. After a month or two, when he is familiar with the road conditions, this number can be raised to thirty or fifty. In other words, if an ordinary deliveryman is diligent, he can run forty to fifty orders a day. At four yuan per order, he can earn six or seven thousand yuan a month.

Of course, the kind of high-volume sales king who handles one or two hundred orders a day can earn over ten thousand yuan a month.

With "superpowers" like Dolly and Yueyue, I believe they should have no problem running 150 to 4500 orders from morning to night. The daily commission here is yuan, which is yuan a month. With the basic salary, they can earn to yuan.

Here we are still counting ordinary people doing express delivery. If these two people are really fast and can complete one hundred or even two hundred orders a day, the income would not be 7,000 or 8,000 yuan, it would be over ten thousand.

"Regarding the commission, you can probably calculate it this way."

Seeing that Duoli and Yueyue both looked like they had no idea about money, I added, "Three yuan here is equivalent to two carrots or two cucumbers, or half a can of fish. Duoli makes one order a day, which is equivalent to earning two carrots. Yueyue makes two orders a day, which is equivalent to earning a can of fish. Do you understand this?"

What Dolly ate just now should be the "fruit cucumber" and "fruit carrot" sold in the fruit store. It is said that these two kinds of "fruits" are specially cultivated varieties. They are very small and miniature. They can be eaten right after opening the bag. I have eaten fruit cucumbers before, and the taste is not much different from ordinary cucumbers. It just has fewer thorns than ordinary cucumbers and a smoother skin.

If Dolly is not so picky about vegetables, she can replace the fruit cucumbers and carrots with vegetable cucumbers and carrots. She can buy several for three dollars.

"so much!"

Yueyue was very surprised after hearing this and said, "I did a similar job in the human empire before. I think I could deliver 70 to 80... more than 100 orders a day! In that case, wouldn't I get 50 cans of food every day? That's too much! Sister Duoli gets more than 300 pieces of fruit!"

Are there deliverymen in another world?

"No, no, that's too much. We'll be embarrassed."

Dolly also waved her hands repeatedly: "We have already caused trouble to the hero and Momo by coming here. If you give us so much food, we will feel uneasy. We really can't do that."

"Yes, yes."

On the magic carpet of the coffee shop, the cat ears on Yueyue's head kept shaking, and the tail behind her was swaying left and right. "Although I like canned fish very much, but... so much every day is definitely not right, brave master... ah, no, meow, Nuoer, meow, this commission or something, it's better to be a little less, how about changing it to one dollar? One dollar is good, or even less? What is the unit of measurement below one dollar, meow?"

When a cat wags its tail, it generally represents two emotions: the first is impatience, and the second is uneasiness.

Obviously, Yueyue was very uneasy about us giving her such a "high" salary.

These two are no longer just something that makes capitalists ecstatic; this is something that would make capitalists cry when they see it.

Who would actively ask for a pay cut...

“This is just a preliminary salary.”

Seeing Duoli and Yueyue looking a little uneasy, Yin Xiamo explained: "It's mainly because you just arrived here, you may need to buy some daily necessities and so on. You are curious about many things and will have a lot of places to spend money. You don't have to worry too much. Since I promised her to take good care of you, I will give you some care."

"Can……"

Dolly's little face still had an obvious hesitant expression: "Momo and the brave... well, and Noer-sama have already given us a job, and we are still asking for such a high salary, isn't it a bit..."

I couldn't bear to listen any more, so I leaned over to Yin Xiamo's ear and asked, "Is there no salary for working in another world?"

"Yes, but if you don't have connections, the salary is very low. The two worlds have different concepts about work."

Yin Xiamo replied, "Nuo'er, you have to understand that for thousands of years, our world has always been in a turbulent and war-torn environment. When people go to work in the Empire or places like the Adventurer's Guild, they are more looking for a kind of shelter. They value a comfortable working environment. For example, the bartender in the Empire, those who apply for this position are attracted by the protection of the Empire, where they can live in peace, and have food and accommodation provided. The salary is usually additional, and a level of pocket money is enough."

"Because of the existence of the World Tree and magic, plants and animals grow very fast over there. As long as humans are not old, weak, sick, or disabled, it is no problem for them to hunt for food independently. People don't look for work just to eat."

Is there such a thing? !

No wonder I always feel that there is a little "generation gap" between me and Filo and Gabriel. It turns out that the concepts of many people in the other world are really different from those on Earth.

"How about this? The basic salary will remain the same as we just agreed, 3000 yuan, and the commission will remain the same, 3 yuan per order. However, we will help save these commissions and use them as funds for future activities. If you want anything or want to eat, you can take out this money at any time. Is that okay?"

After exchanging glances with me for a while, Yin Xiamo said to Duoli and Yueyue, "Just think of it as you two helping to build this place."

"All right……"

Seeing that we had said so much, Duoli and Yueyue could only nod and say, "Thank you, Nuoer, and...Ms. Momo."

Well... although Xiaomo said that she was helping to build this place, it was actually all for me, right?

I cautiously gave a thank you look to the girl next to me.

In fact, Xiaomo doesn’t care about anything, including work, salary, coffee shop, and even the development of this world, life and death. She doesn’t care.

It's only because I want to live an ordinary life that Xiaomo chooses to accompany me like this...

"You can ask Nuo'er to accompany you on your first delivery and let her guide you on what to do."

As she spoke, Yin Xiamo walked towards the second floor of the coffee shop: "Wait a moment, I'll go get the box."

box?

what is that?

Out of curiosity, I saw Xiaomo quickly run to the second floor, and soon came down carrying a large box.

It doesn’t seem right to call it a box. The appearance of this thing is more like a "big backpack" or the box used to carry food at the back of the delivery man’s car. However, the one in Xiaomo’s hand is much bigger than the one used by the delivery man, and it is almost as big as a "suitcase".

The front part of this "travel suitcase" is a cartoon cat head. The overall color is sky blue and white. The design is simple and cute. It has two very sturdy straps. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be used for people to carry it when traveling.

Wait, I seem to remember, this big backpack seemed to be bought by Ouyang Xue as a spare, mainly for large cats like Ding Man Nian Gao. It can also be called a "cat bag", an extra-large cat bag.

Cats are different from humans. If a cat is sick and needs treatment, it must be taken to the veterinary hospital. However, cats are not like dogs. Dogs will not go in by themselves when a car comes over and they are greeted. But cats have to be put in a cat bag and taken away.

So this super large cat bag was bought.

In fact, there are many "super-large" equipments specially for Dingman and Nian Gao in the store, such as super-large cat litter box, super-large cat climbing frame, super-large cat bed, etc. Apart from anything else, I am almost 1.4 meters tall now. If I grab Dingman's armpit and pick him up, his tail still cannot completely leave the ground.

Large cats like Maine Coons and Ragdolls, which are male cats, can be over 1.3 meters tall with their tails standing up. A mixed-breed cat with some large cat genes can even be over 1.5 meters tall. Although Timon is not that big, he also needs a separate cat bag and litter box.

Like the oversized cat bag that Xiaomo took out, it is a style that can directly accommodate a cat that is 1.3 meters tall.

Although... well, considering Ding Man and Nian Gao's physical fitness, combined with the environment and food of the coffee shop, it is theoretically unlikely that they would get seriously ill, but with Ouyang Xue's personality, I don't think it's strange that she would buy this kind of cat bag as a backup.

"If there are orders coming in later, No'er, you sit inside and let Dolly carry you. You can instruct them on the specific process of delivering food, and feel the steadiness of the champion horse at the same time."

Handing me the oversized cat bag, Yin Xiamo seemed to be saying something very ordinary: "Nuoer should be able to sleep in this bag. After you leave, I will be in charge of this."
