The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 389 - 386: Little General Worker

Isn’t this just toying with people?

Boss Liu also wore a worried expression.

For one thing, no one was coming to apply for the general worker position, and for another, this little lass had entered the pavilion through the Oiran’s tearful pleading.

The Oiran is Taoyao Pavilion’s gold-lettered signboard, and so is Master Ji; he could not afford to offend either of them.

After much hesitation, Boss Liu still brought the person over.

The others in the kitchen all seemed to watch as if they were watching a joke, looking at Xin Lin with her short arms and legs.

"Master Ji, why don’t you try using her first? If she’s not suitable, we can look for someone else."

Under Master Ji’s intense gaze, Boss Liu looked reluctant.

Boss Liu then lowered his voice further.

"I’ll give you an extra fifty percent."

Spiritual Delicacy Masters of Master Ji’s caliber, within Taoyao Pavilion, naturally didn’t have a fixed income.

His monthly salary was based on Taoyao Pavilion’s earnings, and an extra fifty percent was not a small amount.

Motivated by the money, Master Ji reluctantly agreed to keep Xin Lin.

"You, stay in the outer kitchen and don’t touch anything carelessly, or I’ll break your legs."

Once Boss Liu left, the dining area became bustling with activity.

It was already evening, and in a quarter of an hour, the guests would enter, marking the start of nightlife.

Xin Lin had just arrived, and no one was paying attention to her.

It was also her first time entering a real Spiritual Food kitchen, and at one glance, she realized just how large Taoyao Pavilion’s kitchen was.

It was at least ten times larger than the kitchen of the Water Wraith Gang.

It was divided into an inner and outer sections. The inner kitchen could only be entered by the boss, Master Ji, and his few assistant chefs, as well as first and second-star Spirit Cuisine Masters.

A general worker like Xin Lin could only stay in the outer section.

At a glance, she saw various spirit grass and fruits, as well as some Xuan Beasts and Spirit Beasts.

For making Spiritual Food, these were the main ingredients.

Moreover, some of the complex Spiritual Foods even required the use of seven or eight spiritual materials. The likes of Xin Lin, with a dish like Feng Xi Braised Pork Belly, only used a type of Wind Breath Grass and a few pieces of pork for spiritual food, which was indeed rare.

This was only in the outer kitchen, the place for storing ingredients and washing dishes and pots.

After waiting for two hours, Spiritual Dishes were successively served.

"Golden Roasted Cloud Leg, Two-star Spirit Food, can prolong life and rapidly restore True Qi."

"Jade Bone Earth Asparagus Soup, Two-star Spirit Food, can enhance cultivation and increase the chances of opening up the gates of Xuan Sect."

As Xin Lin watched dish after dish of Spiritual Food being sent out, smelling the fragrance that filled the air, she thought to herself that although Master Ji had a bit of a temper, he truly had skill. She didn’t know how much more superior he was compared to Master Yang.

"Hey, newcomer, don’t just stand there in a daze, go and wash those piles of dishes."

A general worker named Wang Lei came over and barked, telling Xin Lin to go wash dishes.

Dozens of bowls and dishes were all stacked to one side.

Taoyao Pavilion had many customers and banquets, and the nightly cleaning was enough to exhaust anyone to death.

Washing and scrubbing pots also required carrying water, which was all to be assisted by the general workers.

The previous general workers of Wang Lei, some were too lazy and slow and got fired, while others ran away because they found the work too exhausting.

Wang Lei, who was born into a farming family and had practiced martial arts for a few years, was strong and enduring, so he gritted his teeth and carried on.

These past few days, they were short on general hands, and he was doing the work of three or four people alone, already exhausted to the point of collapsing.

He had hoped that after recruiting a new general worker, the boss would appreciate his hard work and let him help in the inner kitchen. To his dismay, they brought in a little lass.

With such a little kid, it would be good enough if she didn’t make a mess of things.

Wang Lei thought about it and decided to give Xin Lin a hard time, to make her leave quickly so they could recruit a new general worker and he could get a promotion sooner.
