I like traveling the most

Aqua walked towards the kitchen with a little pride on her lips.

Not bad is good.

But can you please stop showing that evil smile...

Xiao Lin also felt that the stupid goddess's smile was a bit lethal. There was a high probability that these guys couldn't control it, and they might have their wallets emptied by the stupid goddess.

Okay, let’s continue our pursuit of victory!

Then he winked at Darkness and Chris, which was their code.

"Haha, Xiaolin sent the signal and came over."

Chris discovered the code that had been conveyed to him, and sighed helplessly: "I said Darkness, do you really want to do it? To be honest, I have no interest in doing that, and now I just want to go back -"

"What, is there a code? I'm going right now!"

Before he could finish speaking, Darkness had an excited expression on his face and kept walking towards a certain table of guests.

She has been eager to try it for a long time.

Seeing the perverted female knight so excited, Chris knew that if he didn't stop her, there would definitely be a bigger commotion, so he quickly held down Darkness' shoulders.

"Wait a minute, Darkness..."

"Whoaaah!"

Who would have thought that Darkness slipped and accidentally hit the right hand of the guest who was dining, knocking the spoon in his hand to the ground.

If the tableware falls on the floor, it cannot be used anyway, especially in such a crowded restaurant.

You have to change the tableware!

Darkness picked up the spoon in a panic and said loudly: "Ah, master, I'm so sorry, I'll give you a new spoon right away."

Then he ran away in a panic, not giving the guest a chance to speak.

Xiao Lin held his forehead.

Darkness has an upright heart and is really not suitable for such tricks...

Then she ran back.

"Hahahaha, I kept you waiting for a long time..."

"Thanks."

The guest thanked him and said gently: "But you didn't need to be so anxious just now."

"But, if I'm a little late, Master will definitely punish me, right?"

"What? Punishment?"

Hearing what Darkness said, the guest was obviously stunned.

Darkness' cheeks were slightly red and she said, "It is also the master's duty to severely punish the servants who have made mistakes. Come on, don't pity me just because I am a delicate flower!"

"Eh————"

The guest looked very distressed.

That idiot had told her not to use too much force. You see, it scared the guests.

"Punishment or something, you have a sense of humor? Hahahaha."

……never mind.

Since the guests are happy, let’s do this first.

He probably mistook Darkness’s sincere words as nonsense, so it was good that he didn’t offend the other person abruptly.

So, what's going on with Chris?

Xiaolin turned his attention to the thief's wife.

"Master, this is the dish you asked for."

Chris delivered the guests' orders to the table, and then gave them a gentle and sweet smile. This was how she had just calmed down the nervous guests.

"Hehehe, Chris, this outfit suits you very well."

"You, you are happy more than anything else."

Upon hearing the guest's teasing, the thief's wife's expression froze, and she tugged at the corners of her lips to try not to get angry. In addition, this guest is probably an adventurer who has teamed up with Chris before, so he has no resistance or shyness towards her.

However, just when Xiaolin thought it was an ordinary order and couldn't take out the customer's money, he didn't expect——

The guest changed the subject.

"But, if possible, I would still like to ask another maid to bring the food."

"What do you mean, Master?"

Veins popped out on Chris's forehead.

She clenched her fists and looked evilly, which was undoubtedly saying to her: Your service is very poor, I want others to serve me, which means I will be looked down upon completely.

"What should I say?"

The guest looked up and down her body, which was even flatter than Megumin's, and curled her lips and said, "I feel like you, playing the role of a maid, don't have any shortcomings, but you don't have any characteristics either. Well, even if you pretend to be cute Serving like this still makes me feel itchy on my back and scratches all over my body.”

This suddenly stepped on Chris's painful foot.

The thief girl hammered the table hard and said angrily: "That means you don't need our special service anymore, right?!"

"Whoa! No violence!"

The frightened guest couldn't help but exclaim, but he discovered something was wrong before he could complain.

"Wait a minute, you said it's a special service? What is that? If it's free, of course I want to try it."

"Ah! That, that..."

Chris's eyes suddenly wandered and he didn't dare to look at the guests. He was hesitating and couldn't even speak clearly.

Xiao Lin in the distance cheered for her.

Keep up the good work, Chris!

Overcome your shame!

Chris's cheeks were slightly rosy, and he said as if pleading: "You, please don't laugh... promise me, okay?"

"What's wrong? If you want to do it, just cook it quickly. The food is almost cold, right?" The guest looked unhappy. He probably didn't trust Chris. After all, the thief girl who usually makes a fuss, even if she is shy, He must be planning something bad, and he has been wary for a long time.

However--

"Then, then, I'm going to start."

Chris suppressed his shame, and under the disbelieving gazes of the guests, he suddenly jumped up and down, while waving his hands constantly, and his sweet voice followed.

"Delicious~cute~cute~Q!"

"Pahahah————!"

The guest suddenly squirted out. He looked at the thief's wife stupidly, as if he had seen something unexpected.

Chris shyly scratched the scar on his cheek.

"That 6 is really not suitable for me, right?"

"That's weird...you're so cute!"

The guests praised it vigorously.

And Xiao Lin, who saw everything, nodded seriously. Who knows that Chris is originally a vitality girl? She was born to do this!

"Aha, ahaha... Is that so? Then, please use it slowly~"

Chris, who was praised, also gained confidence.

She said this with a smile and left.

very good.

That’s the rhythm!

The maid outfit and special services complement each other, making it easy to take orders.

In this way, turnover is guaranteed!

evening.

After closing the shop, Xiaolin returned to the mansion and began to calculate today's turnover.

As expected.

Turnover is very high.

At first, Xiaolin was not sure whether the maid coffee shop could be accepted by the world. The results on the first day seemed to be a great success. However, this evaluation was only from the perspective of normal store operation.

Our...

No, my real goal is to save enough money to lift the ring curse.

With this level of turnover, it would take several months to earn the target amount of money.

Considering that they have to keep innovating in the past few months so that customers can experience more fresh services, the pressure is still quite high for Xiaolin and Aqua.

Let's borrow money to lift the curse first.

Then I will pay off the debt while running the business. It should be possible to pay it off in a few months...

Now the guild has lent them a piece of space out of good intentions, but if things go on like this, there is no guarantee that they won’t charge rent...

And the most important issue is how to maintain everyone's enthusiasm.

Aqua and the others are extremely useful cash cows, but while they can make money, these problem children are undoubtedly time bombs, and they don't even know when they will explode.

Just think about it carefully.

"Hey, Xiaolin, how's your income today?"

Aqua came up and asked.

"Oh... well... look..."

Xiaolin reluctantly handed the calculated list to Aqua. The numbers on it made the stupid goddess's eyes shine and she couldn't stop exclaiming.

"Wow! It's impressive! You actually made so much?!"

Then the stupid goddess raised her hands and shouted: "Then you have to treat me today? I want to eat crabs! I want to drink high-end bubble wine!"

Normally Xiaolin would have left her to cool off.

But now, petty impatience leads to big plans. After all, whether the store can continue to operate is closely related to Aqua and the others who act as maids. If they have bad feelings, Aqua's temperament would dare to give her up and leave on the spot.

But in order to maintain their enthusiasm, he had to pretend to be a grandson for several months.

Then don't we have to stifle him?

I can tolerate this nonsense, I just opened a store! ...Patience, patience, the store still depends on Aqua and the others.

You must find ways to shorten the time it takes to reach your target amount.

certainly.

In order to celebrate the successful closing of the store on the first day, Xiaolin treated them to a big meal.

the next day.

In the living room of the mansion, Xiao Lin summoned them all.

"Okay, is everyone here?"

Seeing the excitement of several people, Xiao Lin scratched his head.

Freshness.

This is not only a novelty for the guests, but also for Aqua and the other maids. After all, it is normal to be happy when you serve the guests and receive compliments from the guests.

However, this novelty will dissipate as time goes by, and until it is finally accepted as a profession and job, the desire to serve will be greatly diminished.

So in order to prevent this from happening, Xiaolin chose to get vaccinated from the beginning.

"Then before opening the store the next day, I would like to have a brief meeting."

Facing the strange looks from the girls, Xiao Lin praised them first.

"First of all, yesterday's performance can be said to be a great success, and the turnover is very impressive."

"Really, I didn't expect that I could make so much money."

Aqua nodded unexpectedly, and soon she fantasized: "Could it be that the life of billionaires is beckoning to us? If we follow this trend and start a chain franchise... we will definitely make more money. many!"

Xiao Lin also nodded in approval.

But then he was slightly stunned. Can the world really understand the concept of chain franchise?

There is one thing to say, after the store is on the right track, you should really consider doing this.

After all, if he joins, he can charge a large franchise fee, and at the same time, he doesn't have to worry about how to manage the store, sort out daily business orders, purchase goods, etc. He can just convey his philosophy to those stores, instead of just lying around. Make a lot of money? !

……wrong!

Now is not the time to think about those things!

Even if you want to open a franchise store, you have to let others see that your store is making money, otherwise no one will come to learn from it.

The focus now is on the present.

Xiaolin coughed and said: "Well, it's true that we made some money. For such an unprecedented store, the results are very satisfactory. But the turnover is just the turnover, which is far from the actual profit. In addition, this Only after the fresh energy has passed can we really see how much profit there will be. Besides, if we didn’t use the place where the guild has the largest flow of people, there wouldn’t have been so many guests yesterday… Forget it, none of this matters.”

Seeing how distressed he was, others seemed to realize that the money was only temporary, and the important thing was still later.

Xiao Lin continued to speak.

"Yuyou, what is our goal?"

"Eh? Earn the funds to lift the curse ring!...Isn't that right?"

"Yes, that's exactly it."

Xiao Lin nodded, but sighed deeply: "But! Assuming that every day's turnover is similar to yesterday's, it will take half a year to reach the target amount!"

This is when all expenses are excluded and turnover is calculated alone.

In addition, this does not include the guild's venue fee.

"Half a year..."

Upon hearing this number, everyone's expressions stiffened slightly.

"If it lasts that long, it will be really hard for me to resist."

"Well... I also have my own magic item shop... so..."

Among them, Chris and Wiz were the most embarrassed. They were not members of the team to begin with, but were forced to come over to help by Xiaolin. If this method continued for half a year, it would be too difficult for them.

After thinking carefully, Darkness suggested: "In this case, it would be better to find a way to get rich overnight by doing tasks."

"Besides, if it takes half a year, how on earth are we going to spend the full-moon nights in between?"

Megumin is often unhappy with this.

"This is also an issue that needs to be considered." Xiao Lin nodded and sighed: "So I have been thinking about whether I can do something that can be done in a shorter time."

"Don't tell me! Have you thought of a good way to make more money?"

Aqua was a little excited.

Yesterday's sales volume said everything, so she believed in Xiao Lin now.

As if responding to her expectations, Xiaolin nodded and said, "Ah, I want to first adopt a combat plan to increase the value of a single customer."

"Do you want to increase the unit price of the product?"

"No, this method cannot improve the turnover itself, and if it causes customers to find it expensive and unwilling to come to spend, then it is putting the cart before the horse."

Kobayashi rejected Darkness' idea.

This is a very common thing.

Some brands want to be high-end and make money from rich people, but generally if they want to be high-end brands, the results are not very good.

Besides, Xiao Lin still wants to live in Axel in the future. He can't do things like taking a small amount of money and running away.

"Then what do you want to do?"

Chris spread his hands.

Xiao Lin smiled confidently and said, "Maid coffee shops have unique know-how in this area!"
