Candy Wizard and Travel

"Thanks."

At the last step of the methodical process, Hidi held the tray in one hand and put down the coffee, sugar cubes and condensed milk.

"Please use."

"smells good."

Lily Ling's attitude towards coffee is similar to Xidi's. She doesn't particularly like it. As long as it's not enough to drain the pot, it's fine.

Since it is a purely handmade work by a friend, and I have witnessed the entire process from the coffee beans to the cup of drink in front of me, it gives me a sense of ritual, so I have to take it a little more seriously.

This girl, who still has a middle-aged element in her heart, thinks that drinking bitter coffee is a cool thing, just like the young people in that period.

She took a small sip.

Then silently added a few sugar cubes, poured half of the condensed milk, and stirred.

Xidi picked up the tray and said with a smile, "You can order mocha or cappuccino next time."

"Those ones are too fancy, but this one is very good, um... delicious, not overly bitter or sour, great, Xidi is really good."

Putting down the coffee cup, Lily Ling's eyes lit up slightly, giving a positive comment.

She used to like the furnishings here and thought they were very stylish, but she was not a person who would order drinks like ice water or hot milk in coffee shops. She had tried coffee many times in the second semester of secondary school, and every time The feeling is all bitter and sour.

Now it seems that I haven’t encountered anything good to drink?

"Huh, I'm relieved. You can like it. Not counting the store manager, this is the first time I've made it for non-professionals here."

"Is that so..."

After arranging the tray, Xidi sat aside and watched Lily Ling sip her coffee.

"I like it very much," Lily Ling expressed her feelings seriously, put down the cup and looked around, "Then, why would Xi Di want to work here?"

"I came here to help Xiaojia, and then..."

"I see. Speaking of which, I have also thought about working as a bartender or barista, because it feels cool."

She talked about things she longed for as a child.

"Now, if I want to open a bakery, the smell of freshly baked bread is irresistible... It feels good to open a fresh meat shop, because you can cut anything at any time."

"Well, it is indeed Lily Bell."

“How does it feel to work in this world for the first time?”

"You are the first guest I have entertained. If I have to say, I don't have any real feelings about it yet, I just think it's amazing that I can meet acquaintances while working here."

"The first one... It's already noon. Is this cafe really okay? But it's really a coincidence."

After asking questions that a normal person should have, the small surprise of meeting a friend made Baihe Ling smile, and the dullness of the entire morning came alive.

"Jingle--"

"We have guests, sorry."

"It's okay, I'll stay here for a while, don't disturb me?"

"I think the store manager doesn't mind. There are few customers, so please don't worry."

The store manager is even willing to give free drinks to people who can't afford coffee and use the air conditioner. It must be okay to rest here.

Xidi was very dedicated when he was working. He stepped forward to welcome him and asked for his order in a clear voice and a soft tone.

The person who came was also a young woman, probably a student. She stared at Xidi blankly for a while, then suddenly lowered her head.

Lily Ling curiously observed her friend's movements for a while, feeling that his charm was indeed impressive, and his capable beauty would bewitch both men and women for a while.

The visitor ordered mixed coffee, and the store manager who looked very confident started his performance. Hidi was only responsible for carrying it.

Miss Lily Ling has satisfied her little curiosity, and it would be rude to read any more.

Looking back, she opened the bento in front of her, her face a little embarrassed, biting the sandwich slowly, closing her eyes, chewing it quickly like taking medicine, and then drank it with coffee.

No matter how delicious something is, eating too much will make you feel nauseous.

Next time, if the little evil god causes trouble again, she must be stopped.

……

After all, it is a bustling Pi area. Even if the store manager follows the Buddhist business policy, there is no shortage of customers. At the busiest time, the occupancy rate is 30%!

Hmm... this number, for those who operate normal rental stores, it is best to transfer as soon as possible to stop losses.

Although it is a bit unethical, for Xi Di, who has just started working, it is certainly a good thing to be more relaxed.

But...store manager, why do you look like "it's great to have a leisurely job"?

Lily Bell sat there for about half an hour.

In fact, when the customers came one after another, she was ready to leave after drinking coffee, but she found that even when there were the most people, not even half of the seats could be filled, and the space was still quite ample.

She even squinted briefly for a while until the alarm on her phone rang.

"The afternoon classes are about to start. I'll go then. See you in the evening."

"See you tonight."

"...Wait a minute, I forgot to pay."

Before going out, the girl turned back, took out her wallet, and handed over a five hundred yen coin.

Just as Xidi was about to wave her hand to refuse, Lily Ling had already walked over and put the coin in his hand.

"Don't talk about a treat or anything. It's my first time working as a friend. How can I ask someone to pay for it?"

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand, opened the door and walked out, leaving Xidi looking at the coins in her hand in a daze.

"Ding-dong-"

The welcome bell rang and the door closed.

Now, he suddenly felt like working part-time.

"Xidi-kun has a good friend."

The store manager, who likes to observe and understand young people, came over. His eyes that were always squinted were now slightly curved, and his smile was soft.

"Yes... Store manager, I'll keep this coin for now. I don't have any change on hand. Please deduct it from your salary."

"no problem."

The store manager readily agreed.

Older people can understand that one or two coins should be left in the first salary as a souvenir. The first time you work is also worth remembering.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The mainstream consumers of sweets are young girls, lively JK or JD, who often go out in twos and threes. During holidays or school hours, the attendance can easily be filled.

But this is a coffee shop, and girls who are looking for desserts and fragrant soft cakes usually don't patronize it.

According to the store manager, the consumer group here is relatively fixed, with quite a few regular customers, and most of the rest are office workers who don’t mind what they drink and just want to find a place to enjoy air conditioning and the Internet.

After all, young people who are interested in coffee are in the minority.

Xidi began to believe that even Gabriel, who had lost his halo, might be qualified for this job.

Because it’s really relaxing.

I read half of the book "The Barista Who Turned into a Rabbit" for the second time.

I originally thought that the coffee beans placed around by the store manager were just to enhance the atmosphere, but now it seems that they may be able to support business for a considerable period of time.

At about three o'clock, Lily Bell came here again.

She didn't drink coffee this time because her consumption was planned. She just came to see Hidi and take a photo.

She said she also had a part-time job and needed to rush over.

"Where is Lily Bell's part-time job?"

"That... is not very convenient..."

She suddenly showed a shy expression, just like the reaction when Sandwich-chan showed her a cheongsam with slits to the waist a few days ago.

Xidi Bianpi thoughtfully did not ask further questions.

"Anyway, it's a cafe for now."

After she finished speaking, she came over and stood side by side with Xidi in front of the counter to take a picture.

"Let's talk tonight."

"Is there anything you want to eat? I'll buy some on the way back."

"No, I'll have dinner in the store while I'm working."

Xidi waved her hand, and in the quiet afternoon, hesitated whether to read the novel for the third time.

"During holidays, there will be more customers, and I can't handle it alone."

The store manager said so.

So why is Gabriel's initial shift scheduled for today (Tuesday)?

Confusing.

……

"Hey hey hey..."

The devil with a strange smile was lying on the glass.

The store manager took out his handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat, then opened the door. As long as he was a customer, he would not turn him away.

This strange woman with an emerald green snake tail swayed in and took a sniff.

"coffee?"

"Yes, guest, this is a coffee shop. Are there any drinks that you are interested in? My recommendation is mixed coffee. In fact, I am quite confident in mixed coffee..."

"Wait a minute, store manager."

Xidi, who had changed her book, waved her hand.

"This is my friend too, making you laugh."

"This one……"

The store manager's face was slightly stiff.

Speaking of which, most of today's new customers learned after asking that Xidi could make coffee, so they asked him to do it. Although the store manager really wanted to see everyone interested in coffee, this... interest was obviously Not coffee anymore.

This kind of dilemma stayed with him for half the afternoon. Not many people ordered the blended coffee that he was proud of all afternoon, and there was no feedback from those who ordered it, making the store manager a little lonely.

"Why did you suddenly start working? Desuno, the only useless person around you is me."

The little evil god twisted its snake tail, squeezed into the room, stretched out comfortably, and muttered that air conditioning was the greatest invention of mankind.

Listening to what she just said, Xidi's eyelids trembled.

"When did I sink to the level of you?"

"Well, that's the general idea. Aren't we the only ones who don't go to work or go to school? Lily Bell has a class today, and Lazy Angel also has to go to school. There is no one else at home, and playing games alone is boring."

"Where did you know I was working?"

"What's going on with Lily Bell."

The little evil god took out his cell phone and pulled out a photo of Xi Di and Lily Ling.

"The release time was 25 minutes ago, but you ran directly here. You were fast enough."

"Where, where...hehehehe..."

"But as you can see, I'm at work."

"Hurry up and get off work and play with me."

"No, I have to wait for Xiaojia and the others to finish school. Those people also said they want to come and have a look."

"It's been hard work."

Sandwich-chan patted Xidi on the shoulder with emotion on her face.
