Infinite Cafetaria

 Chapter 191 New Employees

　　After Malu delivered food to the hungry Zhen Ye and told her that she could go home tomorrow, he and Lao Wang finally returned to the rental house.

 While brushing his teeth, he was scrolling through his phone. He was too busy today and had never had time to check his phone before.

　　Until now, I have some free time again, and I found that there are many unread messages, basically congratulating him on the opening of his new store.

Ma Lu even found a text message with the city manager at the end, and he didn't know where the pigeon got the phone.

In addition, the group of Valkina villains riding mice whom he met before also congratulated him. The wording at the beginning was relatively official, and it was probably written by Gigina, but the person was changed later.

 Between the lines, I was very envious of him for having a stable financial income, and complained to him that it was difficult to find a job in big cities.

Ma Lu thought for a while and replied—it’s not easy to find.

Many of the street offices here have started with a master's degree. The Valkinas have no academic qualifications and are so special in body shape that they have no way out of working in a factory. Ma Lu can't think of what else they can do.

Then there was a text message from Yanwu. The owner of the hardware store originally said that he would come to support the store on the opening day, but he ended up taking an urgent order and went to a nearby county to install doors and windows. He just finished his work now.

 Because it was too late, he didn't even plan to come back, so he just found a small hotel to spend the night.

However, Yanwu is quite interesting. He has already helped spread the news about the opening of the Universe Infinite Canteen among his customer base. He also said that some people went to see it today, but then left after seeing it.

Ma Lu didn't expect that there would be star coins delivered to his door, so he hurriedly called the hardware store owner to ask why he left.

Yanwu's answer was simple, "Because there are too many people in your shop. Not all visitors from the alien world living in this city are as convenient as me or Lao Wang to show up in front of ordinary people. Why don't you set up a few private rooms?" ?

"Because the private room takes up too much space." Ma Lu said truthfully, "One private room can accommodate at least two more tables and two private rooms, but I can't put many tables in other places."

"But this is really inconvenient for some special guests. How is your hidden menu going?" Yanwu lit a cigarette, "Send one to me for a look first."

"I'm so busy today that I haven't even bothered to write." Ma Lu said, "By the way, Boss Yan, you often deal with visitors from other dimensions. Do you think we need more delicious meals before people are willing to pay for star coins? "

"Actually, taste is not an absolute influencing factor. Of course, if the dishes are delicious enough, everyone will naturally want to eat them," Yanwu said, "But the Call of the Wild dish you made for me before really moved me, and so did I. Willing to pay star coins for that dish.”

"But if you want to impress a customer, you must first get to know him. Now that I'm opening a store, I don't have much time to get to know every customer." Ma Lu was confused.

 “You can hire someone to do this.” Yanwu’s fox tail gradually emerged.

“Hire people? How many people would I have to hire to do something like this, and who is so free?”

“Those people are actually people you have met before, and their hiring costs are not high, so they don’t cost you much.”

 “You mean those Valkina people?” Malu was startled.

"Yes, they can run around for you in this city. Their numbers are advantageous, and they are small and require less pay. Moreover, they can also help you in the kitchen, whether it's cutting vegetables or cleaning. They They are all very skilled.”

Ma Lu asked tentatively, "You said that...is it because no one else is willing to hire them?"

“…”    “I can only say that no matter which race there is prejudice, especially against those small people, but the Valkina people are not completely unable to find jobs. The main reason is that they also have some requirements for work and do not want to do things that violate the Matters of dignity and values," Yan Wu said seriously.

 “No wonder they can’t find jobs.”

"What did you say?"

"Nothing, tell me how they can help me understand the guests." Ma Lu said.

"Actually, it's very simple. Most people still have something they want to eat. Just ask them and they will tell you. There are also some people who don't know what they like. Chatting with them more and gathering information should be helpful. It can be inferred, just like what you did to me before."

"But... can't we just use a mobile phone for chatting? Boss Yan, don't you have the contact information of other visitors from other planes? You can just give it to me."

Ma Lu was dubious, "Why do I always feel like you are deliberately creating demand for me in order to find jobs for those Valkinas?"

“I said that not all people who come to this plane will choose to integrate into your society. Some of them do not use mobile phones, computers and the like.”

“Then what proportion do these weirdos account for in the total number of visitors from the alien plane?”

 “It’s not important.” The hardware store owner said flatly.

“It’s not much, so I don’t have to do business with these people.”

Seeing that Yan Wu was exposed, he stopped pretending and began to lie directly, "How can you contact them if I don't give you their contact information?"

　　　…”

 “Okay, you win.”

Ma Lu found that he really had nothing to do with Yanwu, and after a brief chat with Lilim last time, he found that these Valkina people did not have high salary requirements, and hundreds of them together were not as good as a KFC hourly employee.

The capitalists will cry when they hear this. For the sake of star coins, let alone hiring them to work, it’s nothing even if they keep them in vain.

But this made Ma Lu even more confused. He asked Yanwu, "Aren't you also short of money? You still have a courtyard house. Can you just find some work and let them do it for you? Why do you make it so troublesome? "

"Don't say this to those Valkina people," the hardware store owner quickly reminded, "They have very strong self-esteem, and they came down the mountain this time to prove to their tribe that they can survive in human society on their own. I hope to make a real contribution to my work.”

“They still haven’t been beaten down by society,” Ma Lu commented. “They probably don’t know how many people dream of having a magical job where they can fish and get paid at the same time.”

After a pause, he added, "I can accept them, but can they accept running errands outside every day to find potential customers and working in the kitchen?"

“There is no problem,” Yanwu said. “The Valkina people love working and are a very hard-working race. They just refuse to be enslaved and oppressed.”

"There is no one who is not enslaved and oppressed when working," Malu shook his head. "I hire employees, not ancestors. Forget it, let them come to my place and try it out first. If they don't work, replace them. If they don't work, there are people who are willing. Dry."
