I will never give in to Miss Death

No. 325 Salted Fish Meow Meow Meow Lu Duo Lu Wei

"The daily tasks are so simple, there are so many delicious foods, and I can eat them anytime and anywhere. I get commissions for each delivery, and the monthly salary is so high. It always feels a bit unbelievable."

"This is probably a test from Master Nuoer and Master Momo to us."

“Is this also a test?”

"Maybe something like... the devil's temptation?"

In the end, although they were surprised that they could eat whatever they wanted at work, Duoli and Yueyue still packed some snacks into the thermal boxes behind them at the suggestion of Xiaomo and me. Duoli took some radishes, and Yueyue took a few packets of small fish.

"Anyway, thank you very much, Lord Nuoer and Lord Xiaomo. We will work hard!"

"Thank you both, I have no way to repay you."

Dolly and Yueyue's delivery uniforms are similar, both are a loose top and a small skirt. The hat is similar to the electric bike helmet that can protect the head. The shoes are long boots suitable for long-distance running. They don't wear tights or stockings like us, but a pair of short socks that fit the boots.

This is also what I requested. Dolly and Yueyue's uniforms have actually been modified. Ouyang Xue's previous idea was to let the two of them wear clothes that are as consistent as possible with their identities as "deliverymen". The clothes are similar to the current delivery riders' uniforms, but considering that Dolly and Yueyue are not traveling by bike, the helmets can be retained to conceal their identities, and the uniforms do not have to be designed so tightly.

Because Duoli and Yueyue are not used to wearing long pants here, they mentioned it to Xiaomo and me in Elodie's room before. They are used to running, and long pants, especially jeans, will seriously limit their performance, so soft and loose skirts are best.

Xiaomo also said that in the other world, clothing such as "skirts" were originally invented for battles and were exclusive to male warriors.

At that time, this kind of clothes had a more handsome name called "battle skirt".

After all, soldiers have to fight, and wearing clothes that restrict body movements will definitely affect their performance. The magic of the other world and the swords, guns and sticks with fighting spirit will not laugh at you, and no clothes can protect against them, so they simply abandon the heavy armor of ancient times to improve the flexibility of the soldiers. In theory, it is best to not wear clothes, but this is very immoral on the battlefield, so "skirts" came into being.

The same is true for the Centaur tribe where Dolly belongs. Both male and female Centaurs wear skirts when running, but the skirts on the men's side are not as cute.

"You have a new order, please check it!"

After guiding Dolly and Yueyue to look at several "snack points" in the new coffee shop, it was probably near the morning peak when a notification came through the headphones that a new takeout order had been received.

"Here we go! I'll take this order!"

Dolly, who had just put a big fish to her mouth, opened her arms and ran towards the kitchen. When she was about to reach the kitchen, she suddenly braked, and the incubator behind her tilted upwards due to inertia.

“How can it be that fast?”

Master Wang, who was busy in the kitchen, poked his head out and said, "Ten minutes, how about you sit for a while, little sister?"

"no!"

Yueyue, who was standing at the kitchen door, swayed from side to side, chewing on a piece of fish while saying in a coquettish voice, "Does anyone need help here? Yes? Yes?"

This guy is still the same.

I was sitting in the living room on the first floor of the coffee shop, looking at Yueyue who was full of energy, and couldn't help but complain in my heart.

Ever since she came here, she has always felt that just delivering takeout every day is like taking advantage of us. By delivering takeout every day, she can get a salary of several thousand yuan, a comfortable big bed, and lots of dried fish and canned fish. Yueyue feels that this is not a "test on the road of life" at all, but a kind of enjoyment.

Yes, the treatment that the coffee shop provides to Dolly and Yueyue, to put it simply, is "free food and accommodation, a basic salary of 3000 plus commission." If you must explain, there is also "five insurances and one fund," but these are just official business, in theory; the two do not need these benefits at all.

Moreover, strictly speaking, neither Dolly nor Yueyue have any holidays.

The two people's daily rest time is basically hanging out in the coffee shop or on the way back when there are no orders, and the few hours of free time after get off work and before going to bed in the evening.

Even so, Dolly and Yueyue still felt that this was a kind of enjoyment. I don’t know how to describe the values ​​of these two people.

I have tried to explain to them what "work", "salary" and "rest" are before, but they totally disagreed. Because in the other world, "rest days" are almost non-existent. People go to work only to seek shelter, food and shelter, and salary is additional. Now that we give such high salaries and the work intensity is so low, they think that Xiaomo and I are "deliberately taking care of them."

Dolly's original form is a horse. According to the concept on Earth, I can barely understand that horses and cows have no concept of rest, but... why does Yueyue have the same idea? Is it really because the two of them have been together for a long time, so even the cat has become hardworking and never complains?

Anyway, I don’t know how to correct their point of view. I can only let the two little ones adapt slowly.

"Okay, okay, then please help take this to Philo in the basement."

Seeing Yueyue's look of "I'll act like a spoiled brat if you don't give me work to do", Master Wang in the kitchen took out a frying pan from the cabinet on the side and said, "She said it needs to be heated up to make cocktails. I don't know anything about it. I just bought it today."

[Every morning when I wake up and look at the surveillance footage of this store, I feel like I’ve been healed]

[You too? I've almost developed a habit of coming over to take a look when I'm in a bad mood. Even if I don't buy anything, I feel better just by seeing Noel and a few maids working.]

[This new kitten is really cute. I heard her name is Yueyue? Her ears are the most real I have ever seen]

[You don’t understand this, right? Nowadays, there are many props that can achieve a lifelike effect. Not to mention the ears, I even saw an in-body tail that can move…]

At the same time, a lot of discussion comments about Yueyue appeared on the screen of the tablet in my hand. The live broadcast room, which was originally a bit deserted, began to increase rapidly as time entered the rush hour.

[Details on the moving tail in the asana]

[Nuo'er is holding a tablet, is she also watching the comments in the live broadcast room? 】

[I am interested in those two graphics cards. When will they be unboxed? ]

"Give this to Sister Filo? Okay."

After taking the frying pan handed over by Master Wang, Yueyue turned around and ran over here, then disappeared in a flash. Only a small shadow of a frying pan could be vaguely seen flying over.

Then, the elevator not far away rang with a ding dong.

"The way she holds the pan... looks so familiar to me."

Returning to Jiang Wei's desk, I heard Ye Zi in front of me curiously say, "Meow Duolu... is that the name? I played a game like this before."

"Isn't it the Salted Fish Great Sword?"

Jiang Wei continued, "It's the game where Meow Lulu holds the Salted Fish Sword, but the cat girl in it has pink fur, and this Xiao Yueyue is an orange cat."

"Don't worry about her. Ever since Dolly and Yueyue came to the cafe, the overall vitality seems to have increased all of a sudden. It's noisy every day."

I sat down next to Jiang Wei again: "We have no objection to the graphics card issue. Have you finished the promotional video?"

"It's done. The Apocalypse 2600 and 2800 are both ready. After receiving Xia Mo's drawings this morning, I have arranged for the artist to design the Apocalypse 3000 graphics card girl and packaging box. The promotional video will probably be out tonight, and then announced tomorrow. It will be officially available on major shopping malls on June 618."

Jiang Wei looked confident: "It's still in time."

“How many graphics cards were there in the first batch?”

"We have enough 2600 and 2800 models, but we only have 3000 models for now. It seems that Miss Sikong Yue plans to test the market here first, and if it works, she will start production on a large scale."

"If the performance of their Apocalypse series graphics cards is really as advertised and there are no major issues with the drivers, I think they will be sold out by then."

I thought about it and said, "The premise is that Si Kongyue and her company are not lying."

Currently, Xiongxiong's graphics card, Apocalypse 3000 is comparable to 4090. The public version of 4090 costs 12999, while Apocalypse 3000 is 9999, which is 3000 yuan cheaper. Apocalypse 2600 is comparable to 4070ti, and it seems to only cost half the price of 4070ti.

Assuming that the performance of these Apocalypse series graphics cards is fine and the price is really that cheap, consumers are not stupid loli and know which side to choose.

"I've tested it, and it's pretty much the same as what they advertised. I tested it on my own computer."

Jiang Wei looked very serious: "I came to see you today because of this. I am very curious, how did they manage to have this technology and keep the price so low?"

"The Jialan Company seems to have always been strong, but because their publicity methods are not very good, their employees are also not very good, and they have always stayed in their own country and digested the situation internally."

I shrugged. "It's like an old doctor in a small village or deep in the mountains. Everyone around him goes to him for treatment. He has superb medical skills, but he has never left the village, so of course few people outside know him."

But the most important thing is that the graphics card market is now monopolized, and they have the final say on pricing. In the absence of competitors, they will naturally set prices very confidently.

Solid-state drives were also priced sky-high before, but because domestic solid-state drives emerged and joined the competition, it didn’t take long for the price of hard drives to be brought down.

"Ding Dong! Welcome!"

After chatting with Jiang Wei and Ye Zi for a while, as the second customer entered the store, I quickly stood up and said, "Sorry, I have to go and entertain them."

In response, Jiang Wei just waved his hand to show that he didn't care: "It's okay, it's okay. I came here today to chat with you and bring Ye Zi to play with the cats. You guys are busy with your own things. We haven't chatted with Ding Man Nian Gao for a long time."

"Meow?"

Ding Man, who had just finished eating a can of cat food, came over curiously.

"No way, you still want to eat?"

Jiang Wei showed a frightened expression: "You just spent more than 30 yuan of my money in one go..."

"Meow meow meow……"

"You can't rub against me. The hair on your belly is a little tangled."

It seems... Ding Man has found a rich man who has taken advantage of him?

After taking a quick glance at the cats, I walked over to the new customers at the door and asked, "What would you like to order?"

"Noer! Haha, do you still remember me?"

"I remember coming to the store three times. When I came yesterday, I ordered three grilled fish. I didn't finish them, so I fed them to the cat along with the canned food."

I picked up a pen and paper: "Three fish today too?"

"No, no, no, don't mention the fish. The fish you have here are really too big. I want two steamed fish today. I want them to be herbal."

"Two steamed chickens, medicinal food."

"Are the cats that played with us yesterday still here?"

"Of course, cats in the store won't run around, but you guys teased a lot of cats yesterday, can you call them all over?"

"The white one, and the black and white one with a chicken on its face... ahem, a white spot on its face. I remember these two cats were particularly active yesterday."

"Yes, Du Fu and Xiao Hei."

I turned to someone who was trimming the cats’ nails in the cat living area and said, “Xiao Mo, bring Du Fu and Xiao Hei out. A customer has called for them!”

"it is good!"

After a while, Xiaomo came over holding the two cats.

After placing the cats in the open space next to the customers, Xiaomo handed them two "cat manuals" and said, "This is an introduction to Du Fu and Xiao Hei. It contains their personalities, hobbies, favorite foods, etc. You should have read it yesterday. If you don't understand something, read the book first. If you still don't understand, you can ask us."

"Okay okay."

The customer took the manual and happily held the cat in his arms: "Your service here is really considerate. You even remember how many times we have been here and what we have done so clearly... Have you considered opening a branch?"

I shook my head: "Not yet."

If I must say, there is a branch of the coffee shop, currently on the commercial street, but it is an Internet cafe and will be managed by Ouyang Xue in the future.

I don’t plan to open branches in the future. Even if the coffee shop is very popular, one is enough.

I am not the kind of person who wants to make a lot of money, or live a life of luxury and wealth. If I had that kind of personality, there would be no need to work so hard every day to run a store like I do now. With Xiaomo's ability, we can basically get anything we want.

So my life goal is actually to have a stable job every day, a stable source of income, and then have some time to chat with the people who love me and whom I love, and do something fun together to relax.

I should probably be considered a person who has been "poor". I have suffered a lot in my past and have been looked down upon by many in society. I have also seen many people who were in almost the same situation as me, but who suddenly became successful one day, causing their personalities to change drastically and their vanity to expand.

Most people will have inflated vanity. Living in an environment where they are praised everywhere, it is easy for them to develop an egocentric personality over time. When their income is high and making money becomes easy, it is also easy for them to spend money lavishly or even enter a world of extravagance. I have seen people like that, so I don't want to become like that.

The environment in coffee shops now... Because I am cute, and my walking posture and speaking tone when I deliver orders and serve food in the store every day are like I am being cute, I am basically praised both in real life and online. However, not everyone will praise me unconditionally.

For example, sometimes I am too busy and don’t smile when serving customers, so some people will complain, “Why do you look so impatient?” If I deliver food slowly, I will be criticized, “You are so small and walk so slowly.” Occasionally, people will leave dirty comments under my and Xiaomo’s social accounts on Tongmeng.com, saying that we are hyping up marketing, that we have enhanced the beauty filter, and that we are pretentious…

Even for the takeout business that we just started recently, not all of it has received positive reviews. There are also many comments like "Can't you make the food taste better? You only care about marketing?" and "There's nothing good about your store except the cute waiters." We will call back most of them and ask for their opinions. If there is any, we will make corrections; if not, we will give them credit.

I often remind myself these days that I must maintain my original heart no matter what. Cuteness is only on the surface. Only by keeping my heart pure can I be the "Yin Nuoer" of the past. I regard some negative comments and suggestions as a wake-up call to always remind myself not to forget my original intention.

I really don't want to think about my future - because I am praised every day, and I have Xiaomo, a lover who has more rights than anything on earth to protect me, my heart is inflated, I don't care about my relatives, and I think I am right in everything. I am really terrible like that, and I don't want that.

Just like Li Denghua before, Li Denghua is actually very cute, but her personality was very arrogant and ignorant at the beginning. This kind of cute appearance combined with a bad personality is very difficult to accept. Fortunately, she corrected it in time.

How does the saying go: I examine myself three times a day?

Praise and criticism can only make people progress when they exist together.

Under my persuasion, Xiaomo now rarely bothers those who leave offensive messages.

"Pity."

In the coffee shop with a suitable temperature, the customer in front of him said nonchalantly while holding the cat: "I was thinking that if you open a branch, I will also join in the fun."

I am too busy to handle one store now, let alone branches.

I'm not a capitalist.

"Master Nuo'er, Master Momo, let's go."

I had just written down the dishes ordered by this table of customers. Yueyue, who had already received the dishes, walked past me. When she passed by me, she suddenly lowered her voice and said, "I heard from Lady Momo that Lady Nuo'er also has cat genes in her body. She may also awaken and become a cat girl. When the time comes, I will tell you another cat secret!"

The secret of cats?

I subconsciously asked, "What is it?"

"Of course I can only tell you when Lord Nuoer also turns into a cat. This is a secret that only cats know!"

Yueyue winked at me, her tail swayed, and she quickly ran out the door: "Let's go!"
