I will never give in to Miss Death

I took out my phone and looked at the time. Ouyang Xue patted my shoulder and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

I subconsciously said, "I've eaten."

"My suggestion is that you should eat more in advance. It doesn't matter if you eat too much. Although there are not many people here, it will be very busy at noon because you are the only maid."

Ouyang Xue looked at a stupid little girl and said, "Especially between 11 and 2, if there are too many people, there will be basically no time for lunch, right?"

Eh?

I know that restaurant waiters basically have no time to eat at noon, but... there's no need to be so exaggerated, right?

"Come over here. The chef just happened to be here. You can also learn about the desserts and main dishes that are currently being made here. If the chef takes a leave of absence, you can take over his job."

Ouyang Xue waved at me and without caring about my reaction, she walked straight to the kitchen on the first floor.

Taking over the chef's job?!

Hearing this, I was completely dumbfounded.

Are you hiring a maid or an all-round lady?

Although I was full of doubts, I still followed Ouyang Xue.

"I am training you as the future store manager."

As if she heard my thoughts, Ouyang Xue in front of me explained, "There are not many customers now, so it's always good for you to learn more. I'm not that kind of black-hearted capitalist. This store was originally handed over to me temporarily. The sooner you can manage the entire store, the sooner I can step down and go back to being my logistics manager. It's so much easier to play with your phone every day."

Train me...as the future store manager?

"Hi, Master Wang."

While I was wondering, Ouyang Xue and I had already walked into the kitchen with a sign saying "Non-staff members are not allowed to enter" and a little rabbit sticker.

Suddenly, there was a distinct aroma of warmth and roasting chicken.

"At the moment, the restaurant's stir-fry business is not open yet. We only make some fast food, such as fried chicken, New Orleans roast chicken, and the kiln chicken and beggar chicken that I taught you last night."

As she spoke, Ouyang Xue in front of me turned around and gestured to the middle-aged uncle in front of me who was wearing a chef's uniform, a chef's hat and a mask: "This is Uncle Wang, the top chef we hired from another restaurant at a high price."

Is it really okay for you to say this in front of other people?

"Sister Ouyang, good morning!"

What surprised me was that this "Master Wang" seemed to have gotten used to Ouyang Xue's unruly behavior. He waved his hand in this direction and said, "And this one..."

"Yin Nuo'er, you can just call her Nuo'er, or Nuo'er sister. She was recommended by the head office and came in through the back door. I am very satisfied with her, but she is a little silly and needs some training."

When did I become stupid?

"Haha, Sister Ouyang, you are still the same as always, so fond of joking."

Master Wang has very small eyes, which almost narrow into slits when he speaks. He gives off a feeling of "Giant" in the Pokémon cartoon, silly and very friendly.

"Are you sure she's an adult? She doesn't even look like she's in high school. She's so small."

After staring at me for a few seconds, "Master Wang" in front of me asked curiously, "Sister Ouyang, could it be that the head office sent... someone's daughter here to experience society?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I checked her ID card and she turned 12 last December."

Ouyang Xue sat down on the big metal table in the middle of the kitchen: "I'll give you two tasks. Teach her how to make her signature fried chicken, New Orleans fried chicken, Portuguese egg tarts, and Meow Meow Baby Cat's Paw egg tarts."

Master Wang was dumbfounded: "What egg tarts?"

"Meow meow baby cat claw egg tarts, new product, this is popular now."

Taking out a small box from her carry-on bag, Ouyang Xue opened it and pointed at the cat’s paw-shaped dessert inside that seemed to be made of chocolate: “Just make it like a normal egg tart, and then add this in the middle.”

Master Wang briefly checked the chocolate desserts, then looked at me and said, "This little girl is quite suitable for making this kind of dessert."

"Let's make fried chicken and egg tarts first. I haven't eaten anything yet."

Like a big sister, Ouyang Xue lifted up her long legs in black stockings and said, "Cut a chicken in half. Make one half into signature fried chicken and the other half into Orleans. Ten egg tarts, come on."

"okay!"

Master Wang motioned for me to follow him: "Have you ever made fried chicken before?"

I answered honestly, “I have done it, but I don’t know the recipe.”

This fried chicken is similar to the "kiln chicken" that Ouyang Xue taught me before.

Times are different now. If it were in the past, frying chicken in roadside barbecue restaurants might indeed require learning a lot of things, such as controlling the heat, the amount of ingredients to use, etc., but now the fried chicken recipes in various brand stores are almost kept secret. They purchase a lot of ingredients in the morning, marinate them with special sauces, and when they need to be fried, they coat them with a mixture of breadcrumbs and flour and put them into a machine where the oil has been fully heated. The machine will automatically time and flip the chicken, and it will make a "ding" sound to remind you when it is cooked, and the fried chicken is taken out and it is done.

The whole process requires almost no technical skills and even a child can do it.

It's even simpler for chain stores. You don't even need any training. The head office sends someone to distribute seasonings to you every day. When a customer places an order, you roll the chicken in the seasoning bag and put it into the machine. When the time is up, it's ready to be cooked.

As for egg tarts…it’s actually not that difficult to make. If you have an oven at home, you can buy some egg tart crusts and make as much as you want.

But egg tarts are indeed one of the most "profitable" snacks in this kind of fast food restaurant. The egg tart crust costs only a few cents each, and a slightly better one costs less than a dollar. With eggs and seasonings, a particularly good egg tart costs only two dollars, but can be sold for five, six or even eight dollars each, a profit of four or five times.

Like this latest model of "Meow Meow Cat Paw Egg Tart", if you add a cute chocolate to it, the price is estimated to increase by more than 50%.

If it weren't for the fact that this thing is sweet and you get sick of it after eating a few, I guess the fast food restaurants would be able to pay their rent this month just by selling egg tarts.

"Haha, it's good as long as you've done it before. It's convenient once you've done it. Fried chicken, kiln chicken, etc. aren't that difficult."

As I watched, Master Wang took out two and a half chickens from the food cabinet next to him and introduced them to me one by one: "This is fried chicken, this is Orleans roast chicken, this is steamed chicken with medicinal herbs, and this layer is kiln chicken. You can see that they are all labeled."

"Come on, little sister, put on some gloves and a mask."

After handing me some tools and watching me put them on, Master Wang sprinkled some seasoning on the roasted chicken in front of me: "For Orka roasted chicken, the main thing is to use the ingredients evenly. It's better to use more ingredients than to leave areas that can't be spread. That's it. It's very simple, right?"

After putting the roasted chicken in the oven next to me, Master Wang handed me a plate and said, "It's the same with fried chicken. I'll heat up the oil first. You do it like this... yes, that's it. Just coat it."

"Nuo'er, if you learn how to do this, it will probably help our store increase sales by more than 30%."

Ouyang Xue, who was sitting with her legs crossed, said with emotion: "Really, when I saw you wearing this maid outfit... white silk, and clumsily making roast chicken, I was almost moved."

What does clumsy mean?

I was fiddling with the chicken in front of the small table, angry but not saying anything.

I'm just... I haven't gotten used to this little girl's body yet, okay? When I was an uncle, I could make a hundred pieces of fried chicken a day!

"Does my clumsiness have anything to do with...sales?"

Under Ouyang Xue's supervisory gaze, I asked cautiously, "If an employee is stupid, wouldn't he usually be disliked by customers?"

"That's just an ordinary employee. You are different. Pretty girls and cute girls have privileges. You are pretty and cute, so your shortcomings can sometimes turn into advantages."

Ouyang Xue explained: "It's not okay for adults to be clumsy, but a little sister like you who is silly is very cute, and customers will only feel happy."

OK...ok...

"Wait a minute, just stay like this."

Taking out a very delicate looking camera from her small backpack, Ouyang Xue pointed the camera at me and said, "Don't look at the camera. Just keep doing it as you did before."

"it is good……"

I had no choice but to continue fiddling with the chicken on the table. After a while, I put the seasoning on it and coated it with a layer of coating. Then I quickly put it on a plate and walked towards the oven on the side.

Signature fried chicken Signature fried chicken… Let me see, this button.

I put the fried chicken in, pressed the "Signature Fried Chicken" button with a "beep", and returned to the table where I was just now.

"Noel!"

Ouyang Xue, who was holding a camera, shouted, "Two more chicken drumsticks, two chicken wings, and one serving of popcorn chicken!"

"Eh?!"

I almost responded by reflexively: “So many… I can’t seem to finish it.”

Ouyang Xue immediately replied: "I ate it."

"Yes!"

I quickly ran to the food cabinet and opened it.

I have chicken drumsticks, chicken wings, and chicken for popcorn chicken... I have them.

The popcorn chicken here is the same as the fried chicken, all of which are semi-finished products that are cut in advance, saving me the embarrassment of taking out a large piece of chicken and cutting it into pieces myself.

"Are you going to do it the same way as before?"

After I put the ingredients on the table, I thought about the various options on the machine when I put the fried chicken in: "Signature fried chicken or that... Sichuan pepper fried chicken or spicy fried chicken?"

"Not bad, you all knew to ask questions in advance, that's good."

Ouyang Xue looked very satisfied: "It should be the one made of Sichuan pepper."

"it is good!"

I quickly grabbed the small bag labeled Sichuan pepper seasoning from the other side of the table.

After another busy period, I successfully put the prepared chicken legs, chicken wings and popcorn chicken into the special machine for frying chicken.

"good."

Ouyang Xue put away the camera: "I thought you would be in a panic or trip over something on the ground."

Am I that stupid in your eyes?!

"I won't fall!"

I instinctively glared at the store manager: "I told you I have experience as a waiter!"

"Hahaha……"

Chef Wang at the side also laughed and said, "The girl is indeed quite clever. She doesn't look like a novice when she's cooking. Sister Ouyang, please stop making fun of her."

“I’m not kidding.”

Ouyang Xue explained: "If she really fell down just now, I would post the video on any platform, and the number of views would start from 100,000. These are all traffic and can be directly converted into income."

"is it?"

Master Wang looked like an honest man: "I don't understand these things anyway, haha."

Are you really going to take a picture of me falling?

Ouyang Xue’s words made me despair.

I was wrong. I originally thought that this older sister was a good person. She could offer me such a good job with a base salary of 6,000 yuan without even frowning. But in the end... she was always thinking about how to squeeze the value of me as an employee...

"Ding dong!"

While waiting for the fried chicken to cook, the sensor on the living room door emitted a sound, detecting someone passing by - "Welcome!"

Then two boys whispered, "There should be something to drink here, right?"

"There must be some in such a big house. I told you to bring more water, but you didn't listen. There's not even a grocery store in such a remote place."

"Can you blame me for this..."

"We have guests."

Ouyang Xue reacted the fastest. She jumped down from the stage in an instant, opened her shoulder bag, took out a board, a pen and a piece of what seemed to be special handwriting paper, pressed a piece of copy paper in the middle, and took out a menu from her bag.

"Come on, this is your first time serving guests as a maid, you know everything, right? Say welcome, then give them a menu, ask them what they want, write down what you hear, tear it off and give them the original, then bring the handwritten copy to the master."

After stuffing everything into my hands, Ouyang Xue pushed me toward the kitchen door and said, "Take off your gloves and mask. Just speak in your normal voice and tone. Go ahead."

"it is good."

I didn't want to be pretentious, I took a pen and paper and trotted to the living room -

"welcome!"

To be honest, the feeling of wearing this maid outfit and white silk stockings is obviously different from ordinary women's clothing.

Although the outfit I bought yesterday also has a small skirt, it does not come with matching stockings or garters, and there are no decorations such as sleeves on either hand. Although the shoes look like round-toed casual shoes, they actually feel no different from ordinary boys' shoes when worn.

But this maid outfit is different. Because it is a dress style, both the top and the skirt are light and fluttering, and the sleeves on the arms really bring the "women's clothing" experience to the extreme. With the garter stockings under the skirt, from the little feet to half of the thighs are all covered. When moving, the legs will be obviously different from usual. The skin of the legs is constantly rubbing against the soft white silk, as if telling herself all the time - "You are already a cute girl, and you are wearing seductive over-the-knee stockings. Those are clothes that only belong to girls!"

Finally, although the pair of round-toed maid shoes on my feet do not have heels, they have soles. This sole is similar to the soles of JK Lolita uniform shoes. Almost all boys' shoes are designed for comfort, such as casual shoes, basketball shoes, etc., the soles are soft, while maid shoes have a certain hardness, and they will make a "da da da da" sound when stepped on the wooden floor of the coffee shop.

This sound is like the sound of women's high heels, and it is also a sound that is full of "femininity".

"Our store is currently semi-open, so some dishes may not be fully prepared yet, and the cats haven't arrived yet."

Two boys dressed as college students carrying travel bags came in from outside.

The two men seemed to be in their mid-twenties. One of them wore a baseball cap and looked like one of those "world cyclists" who ride bicycles or motorcycles.

"Come, sit over here. From here you can see the Shenbin River across the street."
