Chapter 25 Quiet Afternoon (Thanks to the lovely maid Meng Meng for being the leader)
The next morning, Heshia woke up and turned on the sunlight lamp on the eaves of the window. It was as bright as sunlight shining into the room.
After getting up, she first took a simple bath, then shook her hair lightly, and countless water droplets condensed into crystals, and then fell on her body, making her body refreshed. She changed into new clothes, sat in front of the dressing table, tied her hair, and then tied a slightly larger silk bow behind her head. Then she stood up, went to the kitchen, and served the hot porridge.
After finishing a simple breakfast, she took her personal terminal, picked up her bag, went to the door, put on her small leather shoes that fit her feet, tapped them lightly, let her toes press into the gap in the front, then lifted the heels and tied the straps.
She looked at herself in the mirror next to her again, and after seeing that there was no problem, Heshia blinked.
"I'm going out."
She said softly, then opened the door and walked out.
The corridor was still as messy as ever. Heshia jumped through it with brisk steps, avoiding all kinds of stagnant water and debris, and quickly moved towards the elevator. She
walked into the large elevator with many acquaintances in the residential area, and many people greeted her.
"Heshia got up early today."
"Good morning, Heshia."
"Good morning, everyone." For the first time, Heshia responded, no longer keeping silent as before.
Although she was still a little uncomfortable, she also felt the freshness and excitement of adventure.
"Heshia looks different today."
"Haha, it seems so." The neighbors around laughed and talked.
The elevator went straight up, and the screen inside the elevator broadcast the recent news.
"The disturbance at Shenghai Voice Bathhouse last week has been resolved. According to the report from the police chief in charge, the disturbance was caused by an electronic pulser of a small company that was accidentally activated during transportation and parking. The residents then caused a lot of damage due to panic and emotional excitement."
"The person in charge of the company that caused the accident has promised to be responsible for the losses, and the operator of Shenghai Voice Bathhouse has also expressed his acceptance of the compensation. Both parties have unanimously apologized to the guests present and said that they would give each guest who was frightened that night a 300 federal currency discount coupon... Please pay attention to the follow-up reports."
"The G5184 elevator shaft was found damaged the day before yesterday. There were a lot of traces of fighting left inside, but no corpses. It is speculated that it may be a fight between underground gangs, because the place is located on the 72nd floor underground and is rarely visited. Only some underground gang members and unregistered people who roam in the gray area are active here."
"Affected by the prices of the Federation's Southern Star Trade Center, experts predict that the industrial costs of the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Domain may rise by 0.65% in the next six months, while exports are slightly sluggish..."
"The highly anticipated immersive film "Please Hold My Fingertips" will be released in early May. The film tells the story of the lovers who were separated by the war four hundred years ago, the difficult choices they made in the war, and the pain they experienced. In the end, the two boarded a spaceship to a paradise far away from the chaos and the end..."
The elevator stopped, the announcement stopped, and then the door opened.
Heshia left the elevator and walked all the way until she stopped at the bottom of the Top Star Tower.
Walking into the elevator in the building, the ground below gradually faded away, and the entire city slowly came into view. Not long after, Heshia came to the floor of the Glass Dream.
Taking a deep breath, suppressing a little uneasy emotion, Heshia walked in.
It was still early, and the hall was still deserted. The simulated sky above was shining with a little golden morning light, dyeing the bottom of the clouds with light gold.
Because of the leave a few days ago, in fact, today was Heshia's first official work.
Unfortunately, Belfinger, Andusia and other seniors have not come today. After a short walk, Heshia found the small circular church in the east corner. The petite "Dekelabi" was sitting inside feeding the birds. She had golden curly hair and wore a white maid dress.
Hearing the approaching footsteps, Dekelabi looked up.
"It's Heshia." Her voice was very soft, and there was no surprise or surprise. Instead, it gave people a sense of peace.
"You're here." After saying that, she stood up, opened a cabinet door on the wall, then bent down and dragged out a chair and placed it next to the table.
Seeing that she was struggling, Heshia couldn't help but want to go up to help, but after all, the distance was not far, and Dekelabi had already placed the chair.
After sitting down, Heshia asked what happened during the days she was away.
"Sister Belfinger is very worried about you. She told me several times, but although she said so, she was still very happy to play games every afternoon."
Very good and true, Heshia thought.
"I have little contact with other people, and I don't know them." Dekelabi shook her head. She didn't interact much with other maids in the store and often stayed in this corner.
Doesn't seem to be a big problem? Heshia thought, feeling a little relieved, so the two of them started feeding the birds together.
20 minutes later, Heshia got up and said goodbye, saying that she was going to change clothes.
"Here." Dekelabi handed over a card.
"What is this?"
"This is my temporary permission card. You can use it to go to the employee lounge upstairs. Otherwise, you have no place to change clothes now."
"When Belfinger or the manager comes later, you can register with them. Usually, you can directly trigger it with the identity chip on your wrist."
"Thank you." Heshia nodded in thanks after taking the card.
She went upstairs to change her clothes. Because she was alone today, there was no "kindness" from the seniors to add various accessories to her.
After looking at the slightly plain maid in the mirror for a while, Heshia decided to add something. After all, it was the first day, so she should behave better.
She picked out a feather-shaped hairpin from the drawer. Its five feathers were arranged in a fan-shaped gradient. The colors from top to bottom were pure white, emerald green, primrose, light yellow, and orange red. She pinned the hairpin to the right ear. Heshia then took out two thin white hairbands and tied up the two strands of hair on her chest before she walked out.
The first day of work officially began.
First, she went to help her sister Uvall, because the morning was the peak period for hot drink sales, and she might not be able to handle it alone.
"Thank you, Danterian, for coming to help~" The milky white-haired maid expressed her gratitude and told Heshia what to prepare.
"In the morning, most of the customers are hot coffee and milk tea. Of course, our guests here are definitely not satisfied with ordinary brewed coffee. Most of them need T4-T3 drinks. I will send you the list of materials. You just need to follow the ingredients above, and then I will process it."
"Okay." Heshia looked at the information sent and began to take out the raw materials from the storage grid with a clean porcelain bowl.
These raw materials are different. Some of them have extraordinary effects, so the storage environment is also different. They are distributed in five different areas. In addition, they must be used within a certain period of time after being taken out, otherwise the quality will slowly decline over time.
"Purple core beans, molten core coffee beans, frost gall powder, star grass leaves, Alice black tea, Moran flower extract..."
According to different needs, Heshia carefully weighed and put them in, and then handed them to the maid next to her, 'Hua Le', who has a high-level blending professional qualification certificate.
Just like making potions, in various transparent instruments, the raw materials are heated, baked, stirred, and then magically stimulated to have special effects, etc., and finally the drinks are blended.
'T4 Moran black tea, guest D-24. '
"T3 Cold Flame Fusion Coffee, guest B-19."
"T4 Snow Clear Quicksand, guest D-92."
Although he seemed to be in a hurry, 'Huale' still skillfully and successfully made three drinks at the same time.
"Just let the robot deliver the two T4 ones, and I may have to trouble Heshia to deliver the T3 one in person."
"I see."
Heshia nodded and took out the special tray from the bar. Huale put the drinks and a bouquet of flowers on it, then thought for a while, took out a piece of paper and wrote the two names on it.
''Blessings from Huale and 'Dantrian'~'
Only then did Heshia set off.
Holding the tray, Heshia walked towards the west side of the hall with a slightly nervous heart. She was very careful along the way, afraid of bumping into people or being touched by others, or falling down.
Fortunately, the Glass Dream is a shop that operates on the entire floor. The interior is extremely spacious and open, so there is no need to worry about someone suddenly popping out from any corner. In this way, Heshia walked for almost a minute before reaching the target customer.
This is a noble lady. She is wearing a broken blue dress. She sits on a chair and looks at the scenery outside the window. Her demeanor is very demure.
"Hello, the cold flame fusion coffee you ordered is ready." Heshia gently called the other party's attention, put the tray on the table, and then put the small plate and drink cup. There are two kinds of light pink and light blue seasoning cubes on the plate, and then put a spoon next to the small plate, and finally put the flowers on the side of the drink.
Oh, there is also a note. She smoothed the note and wanted to put it next to the flowers, but felt that it might float away, so she changed to lightly press it under the bouquet.
The noble lady watched Heshia's actions, without speaking or responding, until Heshia finally bowed and said goodbye, and then nodded slightly.
After turning around and leaving, Heshia's tense heart finally calmed down, and then her steps became inexplicably lighter, and she walked back to where she was going.
The first time she served food to a VIP was a complete success. Fortunately, the guest did not make any additional requests or ask anything, otherwise she would really be in a mess.
After Heshia left, the lady added two light pink cubes to the drink with a spoon, gently held it up, slowly drank a sip, savored it carefully, and then put it down. She looked at the note under the bouquet next to her and made out the name on it.
"'Danterian', a new kid..."
When Heshia served the food, she knew that this was a new maid. After all, her skills were very unfamiliar, and she hesitated and paused for a while because of where to put the note. Although she looked a little clumsy, she was also inexplicably cute. People like her who are old and have experienced a lot have long been calm, and just watched Heshia fiddle with it with interest.
After returning, Huale hurriedly asked Heshia, "How is it, is it going well?"
"Well, it's going well, and there are no accidents." The girl nodded.
"Hehe, it's OK, Danterian~" She gave a thumbs up, and then the two of them got busy again.
The two spent a busy and fulfilling morning like this, and it was not until after 11 o'clock that they slowly relaxed and leisured.
"'Dantian' here~" Huale handed Heshia a prepared drink. The snow-white liquid was filled with fine star sand crystals, which was very beautiful.
"Who is this for?" Heshia asked reflexively.
"This is for you. I'm not so busy now, so drink something to replenish myself."
Heshia took it, shook it a little and looked at it. Seeing her like this, Huale smiled and introduced it to her.
"This is the T4-level drink Huanxue Xingsha. It is cool and relieves fatigue. It is good for restoring spirits and soothing nerves."
T4-level drinks all have extraordinary effects. If they say they have some kind of use, then they really have it, not the exaggerated propaganda in ancient times.
"Thank you, Sister Hua Le."
Heshiya sat at the bar, sipping her drink, shaking her legs gently. A sweet taste mixed with cold crystals stimulated her taste buds, and then her tense nerves were relieved a lot.
"How about taking a nap?" Hua Le saw Heshiya closing her eyes and resting.
"This is not a good idea, after all, it's time to work." The girl opened her eyes, shook her head, and the big bow behind her head swayed along with it.
"At this time, you can lie down at the bar where the guests can't see you and take a nap. I'll call you up at 12 o'clock."
Heshiya hesitated for a while after hearing this. She felt that it was not good to sleep at work, but she was really sleepy at this time. If she was still like this in the afternoon, then...
In the end, she still followed Hua Le's advice, lying on the table under the bar, and taking a nap with her arm resting her head.
Seeing that she fell asleep quickly, her long gray hair rose and fell slightly with her body, Hua Le smiled.
It seems that she really didn't sleep well, this child.
Near noon, the decorative wind chimes in the bar swayed gently with the circulating airflow, making a slight sound. The girl below was taking a nap peacefully, and time passed quietly.
Thanks to Moshang Youren, Wushuzhishi, Yanxi, Aishuidebeiju, When the Subspace Stars Shine, and other book friends for their rewards~
