Preparing For The Second Test

Chapter 54 Preparing For The Second Test

"I think most of you already know how much salary you will receive." Hearing my words, the majority of them nodded their heads.

"For those of you who don't know, all of that is written in this contract. The last thing you have to do is sign this contract if you are willing to work for me."

"After you sign this contract, you are not allowed to spread any confidential matters, and you must follow the rules that have been implemented. If you are willing, please stamp your thumbs on your name." After they read the contents of the contract and saw the amount of salary they would get, they did not hesitate to sign the contract.

Seeing all of them signs the contract, I continued explaining what they should do next.

"So, you will work as usual later. Apart from preparing drinks, you are also required to be familiar with the drinks you handle, so you can explain them to your customers so that they can choose the taste of the drink they like."

"What needs to be remembered is all of your customers are people who have power in this area, such as nobles and big merchants. So I want you to get used to being elegant and polite, that's why you should learn how to handle them." I will have some people who work in my luxury restaurant to train them how to deal with nobles.

"You will also learn to make several variations of drinks using the liquor you handle, except wine and champagne. For baristas, you have to identify all types of coffee used and their characteristics. I'll give you more detailed information about the drinks you will handle."

"Starting tomorrow, every morning you come to the guild for training on how to deal with nobles. Other trainings will be announced in the next two or three days. Even if it's just training, you have to come because that's the work you have to do now before your workplace is finished."

After they signed the contract and I told them everything they needed to know for now, we settled matters for today. I left the rest to Selvi because I had to meet the manager of my luxury restaurant, cafe and Spider Crypt.

I told Fina to choose some waiters with the best performance to train the new workers in the guild tomorrow. Besides that, I also asked her to find and recruit some new waiters to work at the club to meet the quota I needed. I also sent the head chef here to be the judge tomorrow. If he is interested in working at the club, I will give him the position of head chef for the main course menu. For dessert, I offered it to the head chef at my cafe. She will also be the judge on tomorrow's test.

The last judge for the chef selection is Irene, I have no doubt about her cooking skills. I once thought about making her the manager of the club, but I need her more to train new employees when I open a business in other towns later.

"What should I do tomorrow, Mr. Nine?" Irene asked me after I asked her to be the judge for tomorrow.

"I want you to coordinate with the other two people to determine what food you will make as the test material tomorrow. Make sure that food can only be cooked by people who have cooking skills like you. After that, prepare the ingredients to be used for about 20 people."

"Very well, Mr. Nine. I'll gather them after they finish their working hours."

"Hmm, for ingredients that can't be found in this town, like spices, you guys can talk to the warehouse manager about how much you need."

"Where is the test location?"

"In my mansion, do you know where?" Irene shook her head.

"Then, you'd better see me first after the others have finished their work. You can discuss the food that will be used in my mansion, as well as familiarize yourself with the existing equipment."

"Okay, Mr. Nine, we'll go to Le Réseau later."

I nodded "Hmm, I'll wait for you there." After that, I returned to Le Réseau. Selvi and the others have also just arrived with the remaining bottles of liquors.

"You guys can take all the remaining drinks. Except for Selvi." Hearing that, they were filled with excitement, apart from Selvi.

"What?! But, Nine... That's not fair, I also work very hard." Selvi was very disappointed.

* Sigh * "Fine, but only champagne. You can't take any other drinks. But, can you accompany me later?" Selvi looked excited again after I allowed her to bring home a bottle of champagne.

"Go where?"

"I'll show Irene and the others the location for tomorrow's test."

"Isn't the test in the guild?"

I shook my head, "No, the guild doesn't have any equipment that can be used for tomorrow's chef selection test. That's why I'm going to use my mansion as the test venue. The kitchen is quite spacious, and the utensils that can be used are also complete."

"Is it okay to use your mansion, Nine? Isn't it going to be messy there."

"No problem, there are maids who can help to clean it up. It's their job, that's why I paid them, so far they don't have much work because I don't live there."

"When are we going there?"

"Later, after the other chefs have finished working, they will come here. So we just have to wait here."

"Then I still have time to finish my work." Selvi then went upstairs to complete her task.

"Wait, I'll help you." Every day during the test, she always came home last because the work she had to do had to be delayed because she was busy helping me. I always help her and take her home after the task is done, fortunately, energy drinks still have their tremendous effect. We are able to work overtime without getting tired.

"Boss, Sis Irene came to see you." While Selvi and I were working on the report, Depa came.

"Send them over here. Is your work done for today?"

"Yes, Boss. We'll go home first, can you take Selvi home as usual?"

"Of course, you don't need to worry."

"Why do I feel treated like a child?" Selvi grumbled.

"It will be dangerous if you come home alone at night. I don't mind if your house is in the noble's residence area because the security is pretty tight there, but since your house is in the commoner's residence, I'm not sure it's safe enough for you to go home alone." Depa nag her.

"All right, all right, you are very noisy, Depa."

Then she went downstairs, not long after, Irene and the others arrived on the second floor.

"Ohh, Selvi is still here."

"Good evening, Sis Irene. I still have some work to do before I go home."

"Please sit down, can you guys wait a moment. We still have some paperwork to finish." I entered my room and poured the energy drink that I had prepared earlier into the cup, then gave it to them.

"Please enjoy."

Without a doubt, they drank it. They were shocked after feeling the effects of the energy drink.

"Mr. Nine! What is this magical drink? All my tiredness after a long day at work is gone." The other two people nodded their heads.

"Sis Irene, isn't this drink great. I am able to work late into the night because I'm not tired after drinking it." Selvi drank her energy drink.

"It's just a medicinal drink, you've been working all day. I want you to have energy for later."

"Aren't medicine that so potent like this very expensive. Moreover, I've never found anything like this sold anywhere in this town."

"It's because I'm the only one who has this drink, and I don't plan to sell it."

Having been waited for, Selvi and I quickly finished our work.
