"Hey, Xiaoxiang."

The little blue octopus blushed instantly. She stood up from under the bar and glared at Chu Xia in anger.

"Xia, you scared me to death. I thought it was a classmate of Yue Zhisen's."

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is still school time, and this place is so remote, how could there be any students coming here.

Moreover, when Sanjiao Chuxia first came in, she called "Xiaoxiang" in a male voice.

"Who told you to say that to me last time? You should be scared a few more times."

When talking about this topic, Xiangzi lowered his head slightly, his face full of guilt.

"I'm sorry, I was too harsh last time."

Sanjiao Chuxia smiled slightly and looked at her with some amusement: "Since it's an apology, then show some sincerity."

Hearing this, Shoko Toyokawa's face turned red.

"As long as Xia can forgive me, I will do anything..."

"Can you do everything..."

He paused for a moment, and Xiangzi's heart began to lift as well.

"Then Xiaoxiang, please help me contact the store manager."

"Can you do everything..."

He paused for a moment, and Xiangzi's heart began to lift as well.

"Then Xiaoxiang, please help me contact the store manager."

"Huh?" Toyokawa Shoko raised her head in confusion and looked into his purple eyes. "Is that all?"

"Because I can't bear to be angry with Xiaoxiang." Sanjiao Chuxia smiled slightly, "To be honest, it's my fault. I shouldn't have been so inquisitive."

"No, no, no, Xia, you did nothing wrong. It was just my pathetic pride that got to me, and that's why I said that."

Xiangzi quickly denied Chuxia's responsibility, and without giving him time to speak, he directly turned on the yellow public phone on the bar.

"I'm going to contact the store manager for you now, so be quiet."

She put the receiver to her ear, shielding her reddened ears. Then she pulled a small card from her apron pocket and dialed the number on it.

"Beep-beep-"

After a few short beeps, the call was connected.

"Moshi Moshi, Manager Ruoye, someone in the store wants to see you."

"Looking for me? What do you want from me?"

Oh, yes, what does Xia want to talk to the store manager about?

Toyokawa Shoko gently covered the microphone and asked Sanjiao Hatsuka beside her: "Xia, what do you want to talk to the manager about?"

"I'm here to apply for a part-time job." His tone was very calm.

Part-time job? Why did Xia come here to work part-time?

Although she had many doubts in her mind, she was still on the phone with the store manager, so she could only convey Chu Xia's purpose first.

"Manager Wakaba, Xia said he's here to apply for a part-time job."

"Is this someone Xiaoxiang knows?"

Toyokawa Shoko accidentally mentioned Hatsuka's name, letting the other party know what was going on.

"Ah... well, my childhood sweetheart."

Although they are not from the same world, they should be considered childhood sweethearts... If I tell Manager Wakaba this, the probability of hiring Xia should be greater.

She was looking forward to working with Sanjiao Chuxia.

"Oh, okay, Xiaoxiang, let him talk to me."

"Ok."

Toyokawa Shoko handed the microphone to Sankaku Hatsuka: "Manager Wakaba asked you to talk to her."

"I see." He took the phone. "Hello, Manager Ruoye."

"name is?"

"The early summer in the triangle, the very beginning, the summer of summer."

"It's similar to the name of the idol who's on tour recently."

"Well, Xiaochu is my sister."

"What about your age?"

"One year older than Xiaoxiang."

Sanjiao Chuxia was a little shocked. At least she wouldn't be rejected because of her age.

"What about working hours?"

"Is 8am to 3pm, Monday to Friday, possible?"

"Did you drop out of school too?"

“It’s a special situation.”

"Okay, it happens that the students are all in school at this time, so no one wants to work part-time. The hourly wage is 1200 yen, the same as Xiaoxiang's. If you don't have anything to do today, just start working. I'll have Sojiro come over to check on you at noon."

"Thank you, Manager Wakaba."

For such a deserted-looking cafe, the hourly wage was a little beyond his expectations.

"Well, there's one very important thing I want you to remember."

"what's up?"

"Kissing and anything else is prohibited in the store during working hours."

Sanjiao Hatsuka was stunned. He didn't expect Manager Ruoye to suddenly say such a thing, and his face flushed slightly.

"Xiao Xiang and I are not in that kind of relationship."

"Scumbags are also prohibited!"

After saying that, the phone was hung up.

"So, I've successfully joined the company?" He looked at Toyokawa Shoko in confusion.

The latter nodded and said, "Yeah, it was the same when I first started working here. I thought it was unreliable at first, but the salary was paid on time every week."

Sanjiao Chuxia nodded slightly. Although she was a little confused, she still chose to believe the job introduced by her good brother Hailing.

My brother Hailing will not harm me.

Xiangzi, unaware that Chuxia was thinking of another woman, pulled him into the bar and began to explain the job to him. She explained in detail the layout of the Lubron, how to use the equipment, and the daily workflow.

"This is our coffee machine. It needs to be preheated every morning. If you come early, remember to do it. This is the bean grinder. If you are not responsible for making coffee, you don't need to worry about it. This is the cash register. All orders must be recorded here..."

While introducing, Shoko Toyokawa demonstrated the operation to ensure that Sanjiao Hatsuka could understand every detail.

Sanjiao Chuxia listened attentively, nodding her head from time to time to show her understanding, which provided her with great emotional value.

"Also, the pot in the back kitchen is used to make curry. Curry is only available at noon. Manager Wakaba or Manager Sakura will come over to make it at noon."

"I've been wanting to ask why cafes serve curry for a long time."

"Leblanc's curry is manager Wakaba's signature dish, wow!" Xiangzi suddenly became excited, and kirakira stars seemed to appear in his eyes.

"Manager Wakaba's ultimate curry is definitely the best in Tokyo. The spiciness and sweetness are just right, giving you a slight kick without being overwhelming. You can't stop eating it. By the way, if you're working at noon, lunch is included."

Working in a casual place allows her to slack off and build her worldview, and she can also eat free super delicious curry.

Shoko Toyokawa had never dared to imagine such good treatment.

"It looks like you're very happy, Xiaoxiang."

"Well, Manager Wakaba is a very nice person, and Manager Sakura is the type who is tough on the outside but soft on the inside." The smile on Toyokawa Shoko's face did not seem fake.

Hearing the two store managers she mentioned, Sanjiao Chuxia raised her eyebrows slightly and couldn't help feeling a little curious.

"By the way, what's the relationship between 'Manager Wakaba' and 'Manager Sakura'?"

"Well... actually, I'm not too sure. Although they're not married, they have a very close relationship, just like a married couple."

"Like a couple?"

Toyokawa Shoko nodded. "This shop is actually run by Manager Sakura. Manager Wakaba often comes to help out. It's said that the curry recipe was also given by Manager Wakaba. I don't know the rest. I've only been working here for a short time, and I only found out when I occasionally chatted with Manager Wakaba."

Fortunately, there were not many customers at Leblanc's right now, and there were only the two of them in the store, otherwise they would not have been able to chat so leisurely.

"So who's going to make coffee when customers come in when none of the store managers are here?"

As soon as I asked this question, I received a look from Xiangzi that said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Of course I'll make the coffee." She patted her well-developed chest, "I don't know why, but after Manager Sakura taught me for a few days, I rarely come to the store anymore."

In fact, it was because Shoko Toyokawa’s coffee-making skills could perfectly meet the needs of the customers, so there was no need to worry too much about things in the store.

Of course, part of the reason was that he was struck by Xiangzi’s talent. [1]

"How about it, do you want to try my cooking skills?"

Shoko Toyokawa looked at Sanjiao Hatsuxia with a smile, just like the white moonlight in his memory of his childhood.

………………

Chapter 39 Don’t do that kind of thing 〒▽〒

"How about it, do you want to try my cooking skills?"

Shoko Toyokawa looked at Sanjiao Hatsuxia with a smile, just like the white moonlight in his memory of his childhood.

Maybe I can take back what I said before: "I never had any improper thoughts at all."

This thought suddenly popped up in Sanjiao Chuxia's mind. He lowered his head slightly, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

If Brother Xiang were a girl, she would be as beautiful as Xiaoxiang is now.

"Then I'll look forward to it." Sanjiao Chuxia raised her head with a gentle smile on her face.

So Toyokawa Shoko took the coffee beans from the bar and put them on the grinder. She pressed the button on the grinder, and the machine began to turn slowly, making a slight humming sound.

The coffee beans are ground into fine powder in the grinder, exuding a rich coffee aroma.

Then, Toyokawa Shoko took out the filter paper, washed it with hot water, rolled it up, and stuffed it into the filter cup. She poured the ground coffee into the filter cup, picked up the kettle filled with boiling water, and slowly poured water in a circular motion.

Shoko Toyokawa's movements are gentle and elegant, and just looking at them makes you feel like the price of the coffee is worth it.

Oh, it seems that Sanjiao Chuxia didn’t pay.

Finally, she removed the filter cup, poured the milk foam she had prepared in advance into the coffee, and stirred it gently with a spoon until the coffee turned a soft brown color.

Toyokawa Shoko blew gently on the coffee to dissipate some of the heat before placing the cup in front of Sanjiao Hatsuka.

"Okay, try it." She had an expectant expression on her face. "Because the manager is not here, I didn't dare to use higher-quality coffee beans for you."
