I will never give in to Miss Death

"Why are you so dull?"

Ouyang Xue pushed Li Chen from behind and said, "Hurry up, be careful when you move it, don't drop it, that fish tank costs thousands of dollars!"

"..."

Watching Ouyang Xue and Li Chen leave the coffee shop, Xiaomo and I looked at each other at the same time.

"You...why are you looking at me?"

I felt a little guilty: "What Sister Ouyang and I said just now was the truth..."

I usually cook for our family, so of course Xiaomo eats whatever I cook. And when I take a shower at night, Xiaomo washes the clothes for me, no problem with that.

As for the "goods" that Ouyang Xue and Li Chen mentioned, it was actually a large fish tank, with some ornamental fish and aquatic plants, as well as small fish and shrimps for landscaping. It was going to be placed in the lobby at the entrance of the coffee shop to increase the "life concentration" of the coffee shop.

Previously, because the coffee shop was renovated in a hurry and there was a shortage of staff, the decoration of the store was mainly small accessories, such as the magic circle in the central open space and the surrounding paintings, which were basically just bought and hung up. However, this also caused the concentration of two-dimensional elements in the store to be a bit outrageous, and some customers would feel a little uncomfortable when they came in.

Moreover, although these small decorations make the interior structure of the coffee shop look very substantial, they are actually "flashy" upon closer inspection and will not give customers much novelty - the paintings of beautiful girls on the wall are of no significance after just one or two glances at most. However, the fish tank is different. There are different ornamental fish and aquatic plants and shrimps in the fish tank. If customers are bored while eating or waiting for their meals and are not playing with their mobile phones, they can also watch the fish and shrimps playing in the water. This is the difference between these dynamic decorations and static decorations.

So in the past few days we have also consulted some customers' opinions and started to add some more popular decorations to the first floor, such as the "big fish tank" that Ouyang Xue and Li Chen moved from "Lao Yang" this time.

It is said that this large fish tank is more than two meters long. The landscaping inside has been arranged in advance. The aquatic plants are all alive, and there are various small fish and shrimps for algae removal. It comes with a super large bathtub platform. If you want to move it, you must move the tank and the water together.

There is no other way, this is how you raise fish. The tap water in modern cities contains a lot of disinfectant. If you buy a fish tank, add tap water and then pour the fish in, the fish will easily die. The newly bought bottom sand does not have fertility to grow aquatic plants. You can only buy a ready-made fish tank with an ecological environment prepared by others, pour out about half of the water and move it into the car together with the fish tank stand, and then add water after arriving at the coffee shop.

"Noel."

After Ouyang Xue left, Xiao Mo came to my side and said, "What was our dinner last night? Not counting Duoli and Yueyue's, it was ours."

"Uh……"

I thought for a moment: "Stir-fried pork with snow peas, a smashed cucumber, a poached egg, and fish head tofu soup."

"What about the day before yesterday?"

"Bok choy, sweet and sour spareribs, and a steamed tilapia."

"The day before yesterday."

"Broccoli, mushroom and chicken soup, and three fried fish."

I was a little confused: "Is there anything wrong with this?"

"Didn't you notice it yourself?"

Yin Xiamo crossed her arms and said, "In the past month, unless I asked you to, Nuoer, you would cook fish for most of the dinners."

"What's so strange about making...fish?"

I subconsciously said, "Fish is very cheap in Kamihama City and has high nutritional value. White meat, chicken, duck, goose, and fish are healthier than red meat..."

The girl came closer: "Is that so?"

I insisted, “That’s right!”

Actually not.

The reason why I buy fish every day is actually because... In my impression, I am sure that one of Xiaomo’s favorite foods is fish.

She had admitted in person when she went to the park for a barbecue with Xiaomo before, that when she and the brave man had nothing to eat at the beach, the brave man would go into the water to catch fish and grill them, so the taste of the fish made her feel like she was at home.

I know very little about Xiaomo, at least when it comes to food, I'm not really sure what she likes and dislikes. It seems like she can eat anything and she doesn't particularly dislike any food. But because I know Xiaomo likes fish, I usually buy some fish when I go to the market.

Sometimes it is fish head, cooked into soup with tofu and bamboo shoots, sometimes it is freshwater fish, steamed or braised, and sometimes it is sea fish, fried directly.

I thought I had done it secretly enough, but she still found out.

"Little fool."

Seeing my serious look, Xiaomo didn't point it out, but just came up and touched my head: "I'm not picky about food, especially what you make, Nuoer, I like it all."

"You two, stop showing off your affection. The camera is already on."

Filo, who had also changed into her "Black Dragon Princess" uniform, came over and said, "The mayor is coming over today, right? I'll still be mixing drinks downstairs as usual?"

Philo was also wearing a black dress, but I don't know if there was a deviation in the measurement or if it was originally designed like this. Philo's breasts were so big that two obvious big bunions appeared on the top, and a small area was exposed at the belly button. You could vaguely see the blurry belly button and Philo's slender waist.

Logically speaking, dragons, as egg-laying animals, should not have belly buttons, but perhaps because their appearance is modeled after humans, Filo has retained this feature.

If nothing unexpected happens, Ye Yuqing and the reporters probably won't interview our basement today. At most, they will simply mention the entrance and then skip it. After all, the basement has cocktails, computers and other things, and it would not have a good impact if it was broadcasted.

"They won't be interviewing the people below, just carry on with their work as usual."

I took the opportunity to walk over to the camera that Ouyang Xue had left behind: "Has Gabriel gone down yet?"

"Well, the show is going to start in a few days, and she said she wanted to try out the new video equipment there."

Philo waved at us and said, "Then I'll go down too. I'll leave this piece up there to you."

"Ok."

I opened the camera's small-screen main interface and found the directory of photos that Ouyang Xue had just taken.

Hmm...looking at it this way, it really looks like a life-size portrait.

Looking at the little girl standing on the stage inside, I rubbed the beret on my head.

Based on this temperament, if I put me in some games, I would have to be at least a five-star character... no, at least a six-star character.

"Ding Dong! Welcome!"

"Ah, hello!"

When I heard the notification sound coming from the door, my professional instinct made me turn around and smile: "Excuse me, what can I do for you...eh?"

The next second, I saw Jiang Wei and his girlfriend walking in from outside... Oh no, I should call her wife now, Jiang Wei and his wife Ye Zi.

"Good morning, your new clothes look great."

As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Wei waved over here. Ding Man and a few ragdoll cats, who were wandering nearby, were the first to come over and kept meowing at the two of them.

"Okay, okay, I know. It's a can, right?"

Jiang Wei was somewhat helpless and shouted towards me: "Nuo'er, three cans of cat food!"

"Just spoil them. They won't even eat the cat food at noon."

Even so, I still went to the side and got three cat snack cans. I turned over the [Store Manager: Yin Nuoer] sign on my chest, revealing the payment code: "33 yuan."

"Ding, 35 yuan has arrived."

Jiang Wei scanned his work badge and the sound of payment came from the speaker above his head.

"Why is there two more dollars?"

"I want to take a picture of you and Xia Mo, Nuo'er."

Jiang Wei took the cat food can, then raised his phone and pressed the shutter button at me and Yin Xiamo behind me.

In the past two days, Jiang Wei went to the coffee shop almost every other day to discuss graphics cards. Ding Man and Nian Gao were very attached to him, so when Jiang Wei and I discussed things, the cats were always around. Jiang Wei would habitually buy some canned cat food for the kittens. As time went by, Ding Man also remembered this "rich" guy, so now Jiang Wei would go to him and Ye Zi's side as soon as he entered the door.

This is of course. Cat food cans, especially snack cans, are second only to catnip in their appeal to cats, but they are very expensive. The lowest price for a small can of cat snacks in the store is 8 yuan, and that's the purchase price. If we sell them, it's 10 to 12 yuan, and a large can costs 15 to 20 yuan. There are quite a few customers who come to the store to feed their cats, but most of them buy cat food and dried fish. A small bag of cat food only costs two or three yuan, and even a large bag of dried fish only costs five yuan. The quantity is large, and you can feed the cats one fish at a time, which can entertain the cats for a long time.

In comparison, if you buy canned cat food for around ten yuan, you can only watch the cats gobble it up quickly. It will be gone in a few minutes, and you can't enjoy the feeling of holding dried fish while being surrounded by cats. Therefore, the sales of canned cat food in the store are not high. Only "rich people" like Jiang Wei can afford it, and naturally he is remembered by the cats in the store.

"Your clothes are so suitable."

He opened the cat food cans and placed them on the ground one by one, letting Ding Man eat the rice cakes to his heart's content. Jiang Wei stood up again: "It fits Nuo'er and Xia Mo's temperament very well."

"Thank you."

I asked them to sit down at a table, poured a cup of tea for Jiang Wei and Ye Zi, and put on the modified small Bluetooth headset: "Do you need anything?"

"Have a snack."

Jiang Wei picked up the menu and glanced at it: "Two cat claw egg tarts, and that... a bowl of chicken soup, and a bowl of white porridge will be fine."

"learn."

I took out the tablet computer that Su Yunjin had purchased earlier, clicked on the items Jiang Wei mentioned, and then showed him the payment code: "Here."

"drop."

While Jiang Wei was paying, Ye Zi had already taken out two large boxes from the backpack behind her: "How are Xiao Nuo'er and Xiao Xia Mo doing lately?"

"It's still the same as before, a mediocre and dull life."

I smiled and looked at the two boxes: "The graphics card is out?"

"Well, we have already notified the factory to make the drawings you gave us this morning. These are for the Weather Cat and the Apocalypse Battle Maid, 2600 series and 2800 series."

Ye Zi placed two large boxes on the table: "These are samples, you can take a look."

【New graphics card? 】

[Isn’t the Apocalypse graphics card the new model that has been rumored recently? Is it going to take the market share of Su Ma and Huang Weida? ]

[Forget about Su Ma. Huang Weida is the only one in power now...]

It may be because the store’s surveillance live broadcast room was already open at this time. Through the tablet computer, I saw that many fans who got up early to watch the live broadcast had already started barrage chats in the live broadcast room.

[Oh my god, is it really okay for them to broadcast trade secrets like this? These two graphics cards shouldn't have been announced yet? Are we...knowing the news in advance?]

[I feel like it can’t be considered a secret anymore. Since these two people dared to bring it out in front of the live broadcast room, it means that the related promotional video is not far away.]

[I just don't know how the performance is, please give me some good ones. I heard that their prices are very good. If the performance is also good, I will buy one to play Aquarius.]

After casually glancing at the comments in the live broadcast room, I took the two graphics cards, carefully examined the cover, and nodded: "Very cute."

These two graphics cards are really cute.

The first graphics card is a petite one, the Apocalypse Cat, which is the Apocalypse 2600 graphics card. It looks like it can fit into any computer case. The packaging has the illustration of "Nuoer Cat" that Xiaomo sent to Jiang Wei before, with a coffee shop background. The overall look is playful and cute.

The box of the "Apocalypse Battle Maid" graphics card is a little bigger, and the background of the illustration has changed from a coffee shop to a suburban area. Although the "Noer" above is wearing a maid outfit, she doesn't have that kind of...no worldly desires at all. She looks very girlish and beautiful.

When I was discussing this graphics card with Jiang Wei before, I was actually worried about this: after Xiaomo sent the illustration over, Jiang Wei would make the graphics card weird. In our country, there are some graphics card manufacturers that go for the two-dimensional route, and the image of "Graphics Card Princess" is a bit off the mark. Fortunately, Jiang Wei knows Xiaomo's and my personalities, so both the graphics card packaging and the general pattern of the graphics card inside are very serious.

Now the only thing we need to worry about is the quality of the graphics cards and "after-sales". After all, although they didn't say it explicitly, they are more or less related to the coffee shop. If there is any problem with the graphics card, or the after-sales service is not good, it will damage their reputation.

"Don't worry, we have always attached great importance to after-sales service. Since Jiang Wei opened the store, he has not received any complaints about after-sales problems."

As if seeing my worry, Ye Zi explained: "All our graphics cards support personal delivery and warranty, and we have a dedicated after-sales team."

"That puts me at ease."

I nodded: "Then you come over today..."

"I want to talk to see if there is any area for cooperation between you two. As you know, Nuoer, I mainly deal in computer products."

Jiang Wei was a little embarrassed: "Let's just have breakfast and chat casually. Don't take it too seriously."

"It's canned fish!"

At this time, along with a shadow, Yueyue, who had changed into her delivery uniform and was carrying a thermal box with the coffee shop's special logo, ran down from the second floor. She stood next to Ding Man and the other cats, looked at the cans in front of them, and looked at Xiaomo and me pitifully: "Can I eat it?"

"Woo——"

The usually gentle Timon seemed to sense the danger. For the first time, he made a whimpering sound as if he was protecting his food, and walked to another place with the can in his mouth.

"Have you finished eating your... little fish?"

Yueyue made me laugh and cry: "I told you, that can of fish is for cats."

"I'm sorry I'm sorry."

At this time, Duoli also ran down from the second floor and pulled Yueyue over: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Jiang Wei's mouth twitched: "How about...I buy another one?"

"No, no, no, they are just joking."

I quickly stood up and took Duoli and Yueyue to a snack box on the side. I pointed at the fruit and canned fish inside and said, "I forgot to tell you that this is the snack box in the store. Sister Ouyang just applied for it a few days ago. The snack department of Tongmeng.com directly supplies it. If you are greedy, you can eat it anytime. There are fruits and fish. You can take them directly without reporting to us."

"If you run out of food, you can tell me and I'll ask the people at Tongmeng.com to replenish it."

"Wow!"

Yueyue's eyes lit up and she took out two cans of fish: "Then I'll take these. I'll eat them when I'm hungry on the road."

"Yeah, you can take it."

I returned to my previous position with a sigh of relief.

I feel like...the snack expenses at the coffee shop are going to be higher.

"..."
