Tifa took the train alone to the downtown area of Bafan Street.
Although I have had the experience of going to Staple Mall alone in the past few months to buy daily necessities and cheap clothes, it was because my senior brother took me through it, so it seemed very familiar, and Stamper Mall is located in 8th Floor.
In the corner area, the surrounding environment seemed less prosperous, which was one of the reasons why Tifa lowered her stress a little.
Today, according to the address Heather provided to Tifa, the target bar is located in a quite prosperous area of Bafan Street.
I stumbled and found the wrong way several times. The pedestrians along the way were all dressed in beautiful and fashionable clothes. Tifa, who was wearing cheap and outdated clothes, was just a country girl. But she didn’t care much about the eyes of others. Everyone had their own
Although she occasionally yearns for a lively and sparkling life, after all, she still prefers a quiet and stable life without waves or accidents.
It took more than half an hour for Tifa to finally find the place.
This is a two-story bar that covers a large area. The exterior of the bar is decorated with luxurious black slates and metal inlays. The uniquely shaped windows are beige. There are two huge columns at the door, and above it is
The big sign with flashing neon lights——[Wild Rose Bar].
Perhaps because of the working day, no one seemed to come in or out of the bar, making it seem a bit deserted.
After hesitating at the door for a while, Tifa finally opened the bar door and walked in.
As soon as I entered Tifa, I found that I was stepping on the slightly reflective brown wooden floor, which felt very comfortable. If my senior brother were here, he would definitely sneer, "Is it comfortable to step on? If it is comfortable, the material must be very expensive."
There are tables and chairs on both sides of the wide bar hall, with a dart board and two vertical pinball machines in the corner. The fan above the head rotates slowly, not so much to lower the temperature as it is purely for the sake of the bar.
Retro vibe.
Diagonally in front of the door is a bar counter with a row of bar chairs. The bar counter is made of high-quality wood. Behind the bar counter is a luxurious wine cabinet filled with wine bottles. You can tell at a glance that it is expensive.
"Sorry to bother you... Is anyone here?" Tifa was startled by her kitten-like timid voice. She mustered up the courage to clear her throat and shouted again at a higher volume.
Da da da……
With the sound of high heels colliding with the wooden floor, a graceful beauty wearing an exotic robe with fringes walked out from the side door behind the bar. She was stunned for a moment when she saw Tifa, and then chuckled: "
Ah la la, this is the child recommended by Heather, right? I didn’t expect it to come so soon.”
She took a few steps forward and stretched out her white palms covered with gold jewelry: "My name is Naya, the owner of this Wild Rose Bar."
"Hello, my name is Tifa." Tifa quickly walked over and held Naya's hand and shook it gently.
Naya looked Tifa up and down, the smile on her lips never disappeared: "What a child with an iconic appearance. Different from his appearance, his arms and shoulders seem to be very strong, and he does have the potential to be a bartender. So, Heather tells you
Do you want to be treated as a bartender apprentice here?"
Tifa shook her head.
"The training time is one month, during which you need to work as a bartender from 11:00 to 20:00 every day. The salary is paid daily, 80GIL per day, and the tips are handled by yourself. After one month, you will be assessed. If you pass the assessment, you will become a trainee bartender in the bar.
, there is no fixed salary but you enjoy a 20% commission on the sales of wine.”
Naya walked around to the back of the bar and winked at Tifa: "Don't underestimate the bartenders of Wild Rose. Even if you are a trainee, if you are proficient in the business and called on by customers many times, you can get a commission of at least 500 GIL every day.
."
"5,500..." Tifa was already very happy with the treatment of the bartenders, but when she heard the treatment of the trainee bartender, she exclaimed in surprise. If she could maintain a commission of 500 GIL every day, it would be more than 10,000 GIL a month.
The income! In two months, I can pay back all the treatment fees owed to Granny Marei and my senior brother!
Naya seemed very satisfied with Tifa's reaction and said calmly: "The bar serves lunch from 11 am to 2 pm every day. A notice board will be used to indicate the dishes of the day. Generally speaking, it is one or two dishes.
However, because of the cooking skills, not many customers seem to be interested. It is afternoon tea time from 2 to 5 pm. This service has been stopped recently due to lack of manpower. From 5 pm until late at night, it is bar time.
Drinks and simple snacks will be provided. Do you understand?"
"Yes." Tifa replied nervously.
"Although it is a pity to have such an iconic face and body, Heather asked me to try to train you to be a bartender who can work independently instead of a receptionist who only shows off. I owe him a favor, so I just have to
I can do it."
Naya put her fingers on her chin and raised her bright red lips into a beautiful curve:
"Look carefully, your face alone can become a top sign to attract customers. Are you sure you want to learn to be a bartender? First of all, it is very difficult to become a bartender. If you do not meet the standard after one month, you will
I have enough reasons to kick you back to Heather, and I have paid off the favor. But if you are just a waiter and a signboard for customers, I can let you stay in the bar without any assessment, and the treatment is
It will also be improved accordingly, think about it, right?"
Tifa was stunned at first, and then felt uncomfortable in her heart. She didn't want to be regarded as a beauty who only showed off her beauty to attract customers. She wanted to impress her senior brother!
"Please teach me how to become a qualified bartender!"
Tifa's voice was very firm and she bowed to Naya.
Naya rested her elbow on the bar and supported her chin with one hand, and her smile became bright and bright: "Humph, you have chosen a very difficult path? But with this tenacity... I now somewhat believe that you are Heather's junior sister.
Already."
Tifa blushed a little, but she did not flinch when facing Naya's gaze, but looked back firmly.
Naya straightened up and stretched lazily: "Very good. Let's start from the lunch service time at noon first? Go to the kitchen to prepare the corresponding ingredients and process them, then wipe the tables and chairs clean, and be careful to get closer.
There is always a lot of dust at the door. From 2 to 5 pm is the teaching time, and I will teach you about wine knowledge and bartending techniques from the beginning, do you understand?"
"yes!"
In this way, Tifa's apprenticeship as a bartender began.
At this time, Heather was walking in the slums of Badan Street. This place was often surrounded by the smell of steam and rotten water. The more prosperous the downtown area of Bafan Street was, the more sewage would be discharged in the lower city area. Moreover,
Many areas of the Patfan Street slum do not have drainage systems, which results in the stench of rotting water permeating the entire slum.
Wearing a loose postman's hat, a dark blue coat, black trousers, and cheap but very sturdy boots, Heather stepped into the stagnant water and walked towards the depths of the slums on Bafan Street filled with moisture.
It is the home base of the underground ruler of the slums of Badan Street [Manson Gulup], and it is also the destination of Heather's trip.
