Natsuki stayed quietly in the classroom. I don’t know how long it took. During this period, Fukuda, who went to the home economics classroom with Shiraishi Rika, came back once and handed over four bags of freshly made cookies to Natsuki. They were ordinary transparent cookies.
A plastic bag tied with gold-rimmed silk. This kind of packaging is very common in general dim sum shops.
"This is four pieces of cookies. If there are guests coming, just order one and get one. It was originally five pieces, but one bag was taken away by Ryoko and Shiori at the door." Fukuda blinked: "
If they come back later and ask for it, don’t give it to them again.”
"We have just started business and we have to produce and sell our own products. Is it appropriate..."
"It's okay, it's a school festival, the most important thing is to be happy. Xia Zhi, if you are bored, you can eat some by yourself. If you have any snacks you want to eat, just call me and I can tell it to Lihua for you.
.It’s been so long and I still haven’t exchanged mobile phone numbers. It’s really rude.”
"No, I was wrong too. Is it still too late to ask for your phone number now?"
"It's totally in time." Fukuda told Xia Zhi his phone number. I remember that in the past, in anime or cartoons, you could easily exchange phone numbers and other things using infrared rays or Bluetooth, but now you can't
Why can I see it, whether in reality or in comics and animations?
"If you want to know anything, you can ask me. Although I don't know much about Lihua."
"...I have many other problems, and I will trouble you then."
"Hee. I'll go first then. Remember that if Ryoko and the others come over to ask for cookies, they can't give them away. Although it's not very formal, it's still a coffee shop after all."
Futian left, and Xia Zhi placed the four bags of cookies on the table on the other side. The conditions were simple, but there was no counter to store the products. Although it was indeed a bit boring, Xia Zhi didn't really want to eat cookies.
Eating during work, especially for catering service staff, is a very bad thing. Although he has a positive attitude towards the taste of cookies, Xia Zhi is not an impulsive person, so he and someone outside the door
People are different.
Although it seems that he can play with his mobile phone, Xia Zhi feels that there is nothing to do with his mobile phone.
In the end, whether it's in the store or at school, the things you can do when you're bored still haven't changed.
Because there was no chopping board or anything like that, and the tabletop was not very clean even after cleaning due to frequent use, Xia Zhi found a piece of white paper to place on the tabletop, which was at least better than the tabletop. He also looked for a pair of chopsticks and found them.
I just used part of the coffee bean bag yesterday and started my own coffee grinding business again.
Although you can’t take it home, grinding it is great whether it’s to kill time or prepare for guests. And if you grind it into powder, if there are guests who want mixed coffee such as latte, you can distribute the proportion.
It was also more intuitive. Xia Zhi started to take action.
But grinding coffee beans with chopsticks is really troublesome... Fortunately, chopsticks are cylindrical. It would be even more troublesome if they were square. The round wheel rolls very smoothly, but life chooses to modify your wheel to look square.
, making your car worse than death.
Just after grinding one or two pills, Yamamoto Ryoko, who was standing outside the door talking to Fukuda, walked into the classroom again. Natsuki noticed her the moment she came in, and of course he could see that she was straight.
Coming towards her. Her goal was already clear, Xia Zhi continued grinding coffee beans with his head down.
"Xia Zhi, you are so boring."
"Okay, I know what you want to do. If you don't give it, it's a commodity to be sold."
Yamamoto Ryoko's attentive expression froze: "Has Yueyue actually reported it? Fortunately, we are still good friends."
"Because we are good friends, I can't let you continue to make mistakes. But even if she doesn't tell me, I won't give it to you. If you want to eat..." Xia Zhi stretched out his left hand, and placed his thumb and index finger on Yamamoto Ryoko's.
He rubbed his hands in front of his face and said, "Just have this. After all, the customer is God, and I won't embarrass you."
"Bah!" Yamamoto Ryoko glared at Xia Zhi: "When will I have to pay for the snacks made by Lihua? Is this yours?"
"Although it doesn't belong to my family, now, here, this thing is under my control." Xia Zhi pointed out all the objects in the classroom in accordance with what he said.
"...Why don't I go directly to Lihua? There's no need to get it from you." Ryoko Yamamoto responded.
"Do you think you left your post without permission and went over to ask for a snack? Will Lihua give it to you?" Natsuki chose to let Yamamoto Ryoko recognize the reality.
"You Chinese are all devils, right!? I just want to eat some dim sum. Is it so difficult?"
"It's not difficult to eat snacks. But you don't have this." Xia Zhi rubbed the thumb and index finger of his left hand in front of Yamamoto Ryoko again.
"You are obviously poor like me, why are you so evil!"
"The evil thing is your desire to buy the goods from the prostitution shop for free."
"Ha. The more scheming a person is, the more he will understand where the limits of human beings are, unless they transcend human beings! I won't be a waiter anymore! Xia Zhi!"
Listening to the familiar lines, Xia Zhi thought that Yamamoto Ryoko was finally going to start grabbing snacks and start committing crimes. Unexpectedly, she ran outside the classroom as soon as she finished speaking, saying: "As long as I am thick-skinned enough,
Lihua will not scold me! I won!"
Natsuki thought for a while, and it seems that Shiraishi Rika is not a person who can be cruel enough to reject a friend. At the critical moment, her relationship with Yamamoto Ryoko was still so good. If there are many things going on, there is a high probability that Yamamoto Ryoko will be taught a lesson by Shiraishi Rika for leaving her post without permission.
A meal, but because there are no customers at all, Shiraishi Rika won't be angry or anything, and then she can successfully get extra snacks. Yamamoto Ryoko's head sometimes works very fast in inexplicable places, Natsuki hopes
She can consider using this ability to benefit mankind and repay society.
Saionji, who was curious about Ryoko Yamamoto's noise and peeked into the classroom, watched Ryoko Yamamoto leave and looked at Natsuki doubtfully.
"She went to Baishi to look for snacks. You should go too."
"But in that case, you will be the only one left here."
"Anyway, there are no customers now. There is no difference between one person and two people. As for the coffee shop, there will be no customers until noon or three or four o'clock in the afternoon. You can go and play with them without worries."
Xiyuanji's heart was moved. After all, if there were no guests, it would be quite boring to stand here, and unlike Xia Zhi, who had experienced many battles and was used to it: "Well, I'll go over there? Remember to call me if there are guests!"
"
Then she also walked away. Xia Zhigang thought that she didn't seem to have the other party's phone number, and then she ran back: "Oh my, I almost forgot, let's exchange phone numbers! You can ask me anything related to Lihua!
"
"..."
Xia Zhi was speechless and passively exchanged mobile phone numbers.
Why do they all think they have questions about Shiraishi Rika? Natsuki is unwilling to admit the fact that she already knows the reason very clearly.
Finally, I was alone in the classroom. No one was there.
The classroom, which is not that big, has become empty. Even if there are not many tables, since there is no one except myself, the place seems very empty. For ventilation, the windows of the classroom are slightly opened.
Some, except for the wind blowing in, are still temperatures that Xia Zhi can bear.
It's a bit like when I first started working in the store.
Thinking about such boring things, Xia Zhi slowly ground the coffee beans. After changing places, what he wanted to do changed slightly. Although he was used to such a deserted place, this was different for any store.
It's not really good news.
It's still very early now. The opening ceremony and speeches also ended before the school festival started at nine o'clock. It won't take much time to get back. It's only less than nine-twenty now. It's still a while before the normal guests come.
After a short time, Xia Zhi even felt that he could grind twenty or thirty cups of coffee powder before the first customer came. Xia Zhi started grinding calmly.
Just after grinding less than a cup, the classroom door was opened. Who forgot something again?
"Is anyone here?"
Then Xia Zhi saw a familiar person walking in.
"Hmm? Wuhe."
"Xia Zhi, why are you here?"
"This is our class..."
"Oh. I didn't know which class you were in before. So, is this your classroom?"
Xia Zhi saw something like a document in Wuhe's hand.
"What are you doing?"
"The work of the Discipline Committee is to confirm the status of each class or activity. If there is any difference from the declared content, it needs to be reported and rectified. After all, it is such a large-scale event, and the safety of students is also very important.
"
"Really? What do I need to do?"
"No, no, the disciplinary committee only needs to confirm that the activities carried out by the unit are the same as those reported. After all, it cannot interfere with the normal school festival activities."
"Okay... that's just right. Would you like a cup of coffee or something? I'm quite confident in my craftsmanship."
"I don't mind...but there are other classes to confirm later. Come back when the work is over."
"Hmm. By the way, where is Rise?"
"Riyo, I don't know. I've tried to strike up a conversation before, but I get very nervous easily." A slightly troubled expression appeared on Wuga Yuan's face: "It's cute to be so shy, but you have to make friends.
It will be difficult."
"Right?" Xia Zhi nodded in agreement.
"I'm leaving first. I'll come back when the work is over." Wuhe came very quickly and left very quickly.
Xia Zhi thought about it and decided to try to call Rishi and ask her what she was doing, so he sent her a message. He thought that she should also be enjoying the atmosphere of the school festival and so on, and maybe watch it later.
When Xia Zhi didn't receive the message he sent, he put down his phone and prepared to continue his career. Unexpectedly, the moment he put his phone down, it vibrated.
Xia Zhi picked it up and took a look. The message he sent to Li Shi was replied instantly. He was very touched, but also very worried.
【I am watching a performance in the school playground. What can I do? 】
Xia Zhi told her about the coffee shop he was running, told her the address and invited her to come over for snacks. She replied that she would come over after the performance.
Is the first customer finally coming? And he got it through favors. But this seems to be quite good. It’s better to have something to do than nothing to do.
After grinding a few more cups, the classroom door was opened again.
"Excuse me." came a familiar voice.
Amamiya Rise walked in slightly curiously.
"Here, here." Xia Zhi greeted her.
"Well. Good morning, Senior Xia Zhi."
"You look very energetic. What was the performance on the playground just now? Was it interesting?"
"There seems to be a magic club performance on the playground. It's very interesting. But there won't be one today. If you are interested, senior Natsuki, you can go and see it tomorrow morning." Rise handed a leaflet he was holding to Natsuki.
It was a flyer distributed by a magic club. The words "Great Transformation into a Living Person" were clearly marked on it. To be honest, Xia Zhi thought this was just an exaggeration. A large-scale magic such as "Great Transformation into a Living Being" requires a lot of preparations.
There are few people, and they choose to be in such an empty place as the playground...
Maybe they do have something.
"Let's go and have a look later. I can't get away now. By the way, Rise, do you like snacks?"
"Want some snacks? I like them. Senior Xia Zhi, do you also sell snacks here?"
"Yeah. But this time, senior, I'll treat you to food first."
"Eh? No, I can just spend the money myself." Amamiya Rise waved her hands quickly.
"Don't refuse in a hurry. I need your help, senior. This is just a thank you gift in advance."
"Do you need my help with anything?"
"Hmm. Just think that you have been deceived by me and come and try it. As for drinks, do you want juice or coffee? The menu is here."
"That...that..."
Amamiya Rise couldn't refuse, so Natsuki arranged a set of snacks and latte and sat at the table. Chatting about random things, Natsuki continued to grind coffee beans while talking to Rise.
After working as a waiter in a coffee shop for so long, Xia Zhi has already learned a lot of topics for chatting, and this small scene is nothing at all.
Unexpectedly, the cookies made by Shiraishi Reika have been highly praised.
After chatting for a while, Wuhe Yuan, who had returned from work on the Discipline Committee, opened the classroom door.
"I'm here again~"
Just like Itsuka Enchan who was stunned when he saw Amamiya Rise, Rise had the same expression when he saw Itsuka Enchan.
"Itsuka...classmate?"
"Amamiya, you're here too. That's just right. Natsuki gives me the menu and I'll order something."
Then Wuhe Yuan sat next to Rise.
Wuhe's aggressiveness... is surprisingly strong. Is this the so-called disciplinary committee's ability to act?
