【16】I'm just here to help(1/2)
"Hello, welcome to [My Cake]!"
I nodded respectfully and said, nodding to the customers who came to our store to visit.
"Um......"
A middle-aged male customer looked at me with a smile, then walked back and forth in the cake shop, looking at the various cakes placed on the food counter.
This Saturday, I was asked by Maomao to come to her grandma's shop for help.
Maomao took the job of a chef, making cakes in the kitchen, while I sold them outside.
"Do you sell birthday cakes here?"
A middle-aged male customer glanced at the cakes on the counter and asked me like this.
Birthday cake?
"Well, most of the cakes in our store are small dessert cakes, but if you want birthday cakes, you can find a chef to customize them."
I said to the customer in front of me with a smile.
"Oh? Customization? I'll customize a cake for my six-year-old child. How long does it take? How to calculate the money?"
The male customer nodded and asked in confusion.
"Well, we calculate the money by the materials. If you choose the materials, tell me, and I will tell the chef to let her do it. Of course, you can make some requests, and we will also charge a part of the processing fee."
I continued to say to the customer and handed him a price list of materials.
"Okay...My child likes to eat chocolate and fruit. Look at it and you want a twelve-inch cake. Draw his name in the middle and wish him a happy birthday."
The customer pointed to the price list and said to me thoughtfully.
"Well, okay, it's a total of 65 yuan. The chef will do it now and get it in an hour."
I said this to the customer.
"good."
The customer counted out 65 yuan from his wallet and handed it to me, and then I gave him a order.
"Huh~"
Seeing him pushing the door and leaving temporarily, I took a deep breath. As the customer left, I also sold the customized cake for the first time.
Well, the expression just now should be quite friendly, and the explanation just now was not vague.
And this customer was quite straightforward, and he didn't bargain or anything else. He just gave the money and left.
"Maomao, look at this order and want to make a child's birthday cake..."
I knocked on the kitchen door and said to the cat inside.
"Well...I'm here."
The cat responded to me in a sweet voice, then opened the door and walked in front of me.
She was still wearing the pink clerk's uniform and a cute short chef's hat. Her little face was flushed, and it was obvious that she was working hard just now.
"Oh... are chocolates and various fruits? Strawberries, yellow peaches, and kiwis are well matched..."
Maomao said thoughtfully, and I also admired the school beauty's serious thoughts on orders with great interest...
At this time, just as Maomao and I were standing at the counter and she was watching the order, several more customers came.
"Xiaoyuan!"
"Cat!"
The customers who came were all girls, wearing various colorful clothes, and they walked and stopped to enter the cat's shop.
Huh?
These girls seem to know cats?
There are four girls in total.
"Xiaoyuan, let's buy some snacks here... This person is..."
While I noticed them, the girls saw me and asked Maomao with a slightly blushing face.
"Gu—"
"Woo——"
Both Maocao and I were embarrassed!
It seems that these people are probably Maomao’s friends and classmates?
Are you a primary school classmate, junior high school classmate, or a neighbor?
Hello...are you a high school classmate!?
Oh no!
If the students from Yangyue Province experiments hit me and helped me with the school beauty, it would be very troublesome.
I looked at the current situation between Maomao and me in cold sweat.
We wore clerk's uniforms that were extremely similar to couple's outfits, which were a combination of blue and white and pink and white.
Just now, I also handed the order to Maomao with a smile on her face, and she also looked at her pretty face with a slightly red face.
And we haven’t been with Maomao before, and according to other people’s identification, we still have a very good looks of husband and wife!
"Uh, cat...is this your boyfriend?"
The girl in the head, who had permed her hair, asked tilted her head.
"no!"
I and the school beauty of Maomao said in unison.
It was okay that she was misunderstood by Grandma Yuan before, but she felt that she was the one who often joked and was very unpredictable. The girls in front of her were blushing and serious expressions, which was easy to take them seriously!
It must be explained clearly, otherwise the scandal between me and Maomao will be inexplicably spread. Not to mention that the school beauty guards will beat me up, and Maomao's reputation as a girl will be affected.
"That...I'm just here to help..."
I explained to the cat's classmate with a red face.
"Well, Xiaohong... Ji Shen is just here to help..."
Mao Mao also buried his head with a pretty face slightly red, and explained to the girl who had permed her hair in front of him.
“——Hmm?”
And the girl who seemed to be named Xiaohong looked at us with a suspicious look, with a paparazzi expression on her face.
Well......
The other girls beside her also looked at us with suspicion.
"Gu—"
I swallowed, hey, don’t look at me and cats like this, I’d be embarrassed!
"Forget it, Maomao has grown up. In the past, he thought that the academic master Maomao, who had been experiencing experiments, never thought of men. Hehe... Now we are relieved..."
Xiaohong, who was in charge, patted Maomao's shoulder and said with a thoughtful blushing face.
"It's a misunderstanding!"
The cat still blushed and explained shyly.
"hey-hey......"
When the girls looked at her like this, they stopped making trouble and chose cakes.
While they were choosing cakes, they looked at me from time to time, looking at the awkward me and the cat with strange eyes.
After these friends of cats chose the cake, cats packaged the cakes for them, and I also checked out the bill for them at the cashier.
When checking out, the girl named Xiaohong handed me the money while saying this—
——"You must be kind to the cat in the future. You dare to abandon the cute cats at all times...I will kill you."
Xiaohong leaned into my ear viciously and said.
"Well....."
I looked embarrassed, and then Maomao's classmate paid the money and took the cake and left.
well....
It seems that this misunderstanding has escalated to this level.
But why don’t they believe me and Maomao? We have clearly explained this, why does Maomao’s friend still think that Maomao has an affair?
Who knows...
"Ji Shen... makes you laugh. They are all some of my junior high school classmates who live nearby... they all love to joke..."
After they left, the cat lowered his head slightly and explained to me a little sorry.
To be continued...
