baker
The lively atmosphere reached its peak when two tables were brought out.
Hu Mifeng had been busy since early morning, and now he was taking a break. He figured Ye Miaomiao would have finished breakfast and be free, so he walked into the Hungry Hungry Territory with a large bag of gifts.
When I came in, I realized that it was not dinner time, so why were there so many people gathered in the kitchen?
Chen Hu answered Hu Mifeng's doubts in time: "There is an interview for a baker this morning." After saying that, he stood on tiptoe to look around, eager to try it out.
Hu Mifeng glanced at him, thinking of the "magical" honey cake, and felt a little eager to watch the fun, but: "Let's find Lord Ye first, business is more important."
After saying that, he asked the security team members.
Unexpectedly, Ye Miaomiao was interviewing a cake maker at this moment.
Hu Mifeng was so busy that he should have handed the gifts to the team members and come back to visit when he had time. But his eyes drifted towards the cake shop, where Chen Hu looked at him expectantly.
Hu Mifeng coughed lightly and said, "Then let's wait for Lord Ye, and by the way... take a look at their baker interview."
At this moment, several backup cake chefs are already in place.
Ye Miaomiao announced the rules loudly. The rules were similar to those of the beekeeper, but considering that cake was a food and there were so many residents present, she made some slight modifications.
"Please, residents who are eligible to give the hotel a five-star review, please rate the cakes you received. I will choose the baker based on the ratings."
After that, several cake makers entered the cake shop with nervous expressions - to be fair, everyone was anonymous in identifying who made what cake.
Cakes don’t need to ferment like bread, so they can be completed in about half an hour. Therefore, some people wait patiently, while others do their own things and wait for group notifications.
However, this had nothing to do with Hu Mifeng and Chen Hu. When they finally saw Ye Miaomiao was free, they happily went up to greet her.
"Here he comes again." At this moment, Li Ru was standing in the crowd, looking at Hu Mifeng with disdain as he approached like a fly.
If she had to say it, she knew exactly what these people were thinking. They were thinking of finding a good partner, wanting to sit back and reap the benefits without any effort... and even cooperating with the territory! It sounded so nice!
She saw that Ye Miaomiao was just too stupid. Others wanted to rely on her and become a vampire, but she was unaware and greeted them with a smile.
The territory is everyone's territory, and the money is everyone's money. If they are to give it to outsiders for free, she will be the first one to disagree!
"Auntie, how long will it take before we can eat the cake?" The child pulled at her trouser legs at her feet.
Li Ru looked down and saw the dirty hands. She remembered him always blowing his nose and rolling in the mud. She pulled her trouser legs back with disgust.
These were the newly bought cotton pants from Territory! She didn't want to get them dirty because they were all white.
The little boy thought Li Ru was angry, but after thinking for a while, he finally understood and changed his tone: "Mom, mom, how long can I eat the cake?"
The people chatting around immediately gave him surprised looks.
It's simple. Li Ru just graduated from college and looks like a girl in her twenties.
This little boy must be five or six years old. Where did she get a son this old?
Li Ru's cheeks flushed instantly. She squatted down, gnashing her teeth as she stared at the little boy and whispered, "I told you, don't call me mom outside. Are you stupid?"
The little boy suddenly felt a little aggrieved. He said "oh" and stopped talking.
There were many newcomers in the territory, and even more old ones. Since Li Ru returned to the territory, although she hadn't done anything high-profile, the territory was sparsely populated, and many people had known her whereabouts, intentionally or unintentionally.
A few people exchanged glances and went aside to chat.
Starting with her ex-boyfriend Zhang Shuo, the story was a rollercoaster. Zhang Shuo, the unfaithful man, eloped with someone else, leaving Li Ruru waiting in agony like a husband waiting for his wife.
As they were talking, a few people who had heard "Zeng Wei's version" shook their heads and joined in. It wasn't that Zhang Shuo was treacherous, it was clearly that Zhang Shuo was deeply in love and was prompted by Li Ru to steal things and sell them.
Everyone was dumbfounded, but no matter what version, it all came back to one thing in the end—
Li Ru's money was not enough to support her three meals a day in the territory, so she started working. However, she soon started dating a single father.
Not only did she get a cheap son and a cheap mother for free, but no one saw her go to work anymore.
However, it is not easy to be a daughter-in-law who does not work. If you want to know why this "father" is single, it is because he has a powerful mother who can scold people in the whole street during an argument.
This "father" was simply an honest man, someone who only knew how to work hard and obey his mother. With this mother-in-law around, no matter how many single women there were in the territory, no one would want to live with him, no matter how hard he worked and earned money.
His mother wanted to find a daughter-in-law to take care of their family, but for some reason, no one was willing to join. Many people said, "The lord is single, and we regard him as a role model!"
So much so that his mother often talked about Ye Miaomiao behind his back, saying that his singleness was affecting others!
I don't know how Li Ru became their daughter-in-law. But it seems that things are not peaceful. It is said that the beating and scolding sounds often heard in the residential building come from their house!
The more he talked, the more exaggerated he became. More and more people gathered around him, and no one knew whether it was true or not. However...
"Is her mother-in-law one of the people having the interview for the bakery position today?" One of them cracked a melon seed and met the other's eyes.
The person opposite suddenly realized: "Yes! That's right! Wasn't the one who just entered the cake shop Aunt Yuan?"
"No, doesn't Aunt Yuan often say that she is a lady? How could she bake a cake?" someone questioned.
Everyone's eyes turned to Li Ru who was not far away. She was looking anxiously into the distance, not knowing what she was looking at.
Finally, when the aroma of cakes wafted through the store, a group of people arrived. There were nearly a dozen of them, some of them distant relatives of Aunt Yuan, and some of her family friends. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell they were there to show their support.
"Aju, just tell us who to vote for and we'll follow you!" This man didn't know that a group of people were secretly observing him, and he shouted as if to show his loyalty.
Now, everyone immediately understood that this was not just ordinary "support", this was clearly cheating!
"We're competing fairly, and they still want to cheat!" someone shouted.
"How can they cheat anonymously? Unless they knew the exam questions and planned everything in advance!"
Even so, everyone looked at Li Ru and others with unfriendly eyes.
Apu's little sister held Apu's trouser legs tightly and stood at the back of the crowd. Even though she couldn't see anything, she was very nervous.
"Apu, your sister is also participating, you should find some people too!" Someone deliberately shouted loudly, on the one hand mocking Li Ru and others, and on the other hand complaining about the unfair competition that would ruin the atmosphere of justice in the territory.
Unexpectedly, Apu shook his head and said, "I believe in the territory and my sister's ability. The cake she made is alive and she can choose it."
After saying that, he patted his sister's head as if to comfort her.
"Sister's cake," the little girl said a little unclearly, but everyone could see clearly as she made faces at Li Ru's family, "Sister's cake is the best!"
Everyone smiled immediately, didn't they? The crowd's eyes were clear.
However, someone rolled his eyes, walked behind the crowd, and reported the matter to the security team.
Half an hour passed in a flash, and Ye Miaomiao had just exchanged greetings with Hu Mifeng.
The customer service agreed to help Ye Miaomiao with advertising, but the rest was up to her on her own.
Originally, there was only one way to sell goods to other territories—at the border crossing. However, after Hu Mifeng was promoted to a mid-level courier, he gained another method.
Selling through a border crossing would cost three points due to the special tax on information products, but if Hu Mifeng delivers, only one point is required.
She earned two points in fees, and Hu Mifeng also received countless orders for nothing. It was a win-win situation for both parties.
However, Yunshen Yuanshun became busy from then on. Since there were too many orders, in order to ensure that the information was delivered to each territory on time, everyone who could be mobilized in the territory was given the job of courier.
"Actually, I'm very curious about how you delivered the video to..." It was Ye Miaomiao's fault for lacking imagination. Even in the 21st century, she couldn't imagine how to deliver a piece of "network" information.
Hu Mifeng laughed and said, "Because 'the Internet' doesn't exist here, technology hasn't developed that far yet. Light screens between different territories can't communicate. Information used to be sent in a single sentence, but now it can only be transmitted on foot."
"You'll understand once you join the courier program. After accepting a mission from Cainiao Station, we'll enter..." Hu Mifeng was silent for a moment, then touched his nose. "We'll enter the university town."
Ye Miaomiao: “?”
"I was surprised too, but it's probably because of me. When I was a courier, I was delivering in the university town. Anyway... all the territories are like students in the university town, living in different communities and buildings."
He pursed his lips and said, "It's quite a coincidence. Eight students share one dormitory, just like eight territories share one district."
"Anyway..." he continued, "Once you receive a mission, you need to deliver it to the students in the dormitory within the specified time limit. Once the information arrives at the university town, it will turn into a piece of paper, and I'll just place it on the student's desk."
Ye Miaomiao was stunned. She only knew that the job of a courier was hard, but she didn't expect it to be so interesting!
"Those people can't talk, just like robots. What's so interesting about them! Except..." Hu Mifeng shrugged helplessly: "Only when I ask them to give me a five-star review, their faces will reflect their true reactions."
"Every one of them was crossed out and crossed out impatiently."
Ye Miaomiao: "..." She patted Hu Mifeng's shoulder helplessly: "Thank you for your hard work!"
In just half a morning, she had already earned 70,000 to 80,000 points, which was almost 8,000 territories. Hu Mifeng's territory now had around a hundred couriers, meaning each person delivered 80 notes.
Even the most interesting university town will eventually become boring.
"No way! This is a great opportunity to make money. They earned dozens of points in a short time and they didn't even have time to laugh!" Hu Mifeng waved his hands, hoping that there would be more of these "boring" good things.
“It’s done!”
At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted.
Looking up, I saw an NPC bringing out six plates of cakes, one after another. Some were strawberry, some were vanilla, some were pistachio, and two were even more amazing.
One has meat filling on top, like an alternative steamed bun! The other has a chili pepper on top, and I don’t know what’s inside.
To be fair, the alternative cake chefs stayed in the store and would not come out until the judging was over.
Seeing everyone taking out the plates, forks and other things that had been prepared long ago, Chen Hu, who was waiting eagerly, was dumbfounded - he had no idea that he would encounter such a good thing, who would carry bowls and chopsticks with them when going out!
"Let the guests try it first." Ye Miaomiao patted Hu Mifeng's shoulder with pity, which immediately cheered up Chen Hu.
The NPC brought three large plates, placed six kinds of cakes in the corners of the plates, and handed them to several people.
The crowd lined up, and even though the NPC didn't serve them any food, they didn't rush. Their bright eyes fixed on the group. Chen Hu, who couldn't wait to eat the various cakes, swallowed uncomfortably.
He politely started eating the "normal" looking fruit cake first, and then he made a "hiss" sound and quickened his swallowing speed.
Soon I had the meat filling and...the chili filling.
He first tried a bite of the meat filling and praised its deliciousness, which made everyone else fascinated. Then he hesitantly ate the chili filling, and his eyes widened immediately.
"Sweet! Fight the cold!"
