You can do it! Yabemiya clenched her fists and was rooting for her.
Sally picked up a tray and walked over to table three quickly. After about 30 seconds, she said, “Four plates of Yangzhou fried rice, three bowls of tofu pudding, and two roujiamos, that will be 36 gold coins.”
Then she put the plates, bowls, and bags on the tray randomly and walked to the next table.
Yabemiya looked a little worried. That’s not good…
Mag watched and didn’t say anything. It may look easy, but clearing tables also needs skills.
A short while later, she was done with the second table. The mound of plates and bowls had got higher, but her hand was pretty steady.
Three minutes had passed by the time she walked up to the fourth table. The mound was already a half meter high. The plates and bowls were shaking, looking like they might fall at any minute.
“That’s… 16 gold coins.” Sally picked up a bowl carefully, and in her attempt to put it onto the mound, she accidentally touched it.
The mound swayed and fell eventually.
“Oh, no!” Yabemiya cried, letting go of her mop, running towards Sally.
Mag also took a step forward, startled.
Sally was also a little surprised, but she lifted her left hand quickly, and then a stream of water appeared and flew around her, catching every plate and bowl.
Yabemiya stopped, gaping at her. Unbelievable…
Mag couldn’t hide the surprise in his eyes. A water magic caster? And by the look of it, she’s at least 5th-tier. A 5th-tier knight could be an officer commanding 500 knights, and a 5th-tier magic caster is just as important.
“You only have one and a half minutes left,” Mag reminded her.
Sally became anxious. She put the plates and bowls back onto the tray with her water magic and walked to the last table. The mound was still shaking, but it wouldn’t fall this time, since there was water flowing around it.
“That’s… 22 gold coins!” She waved her hand, and water carried the plates and bowls up onto the mound, which was now almost high as a man.
Mag took a look at his watch. “You used four and a half minutes.”
“Whoa…” Yabemiya said, looking up at the high mound of dishes.
“Have I got the job?” Sally asked, nervous and expectant.
“Technically speaking, you passed the test.” Sally smiled on hearing that. “But, there’s still room for improvement. You were too rushed; diners don’t like to see that. Also, you’re not supposed to stack dishes like that,” Mag said.
It was all Mag could do not to smile as he looked at the huge mound.
“Table 2, 7, 14, 16, 4, Miya, you do it.”
Miya nodded. “Yes, Boss.” She took a tray from the kitchen, calculated the money, and cleared the tables in less than three minutes. On her tray stood a stack of plates, a stack of bowls, and a stack of bags.
Sally watched with surprise. She calculated so fast and didn’t look hurried, and she was smiling all the while. Besides, she was much better at stacking dishes than me.
Sally looked a little frustrated.
Yabemiya saw the look on her face. “It’s your first time. I think you did quite well.”
Sally’s eyes lit up and looked to Mag. “But…”
Mag nodded. “Yes, you did well for your first time.” Thankfully, she didn’t break those dishes. Clearly, she’s not good at this, but her magic might have just helped her get this job.
And customers would love to see her magic.
I’ve got myself two attractive waitresses!
She’ll get better at stacking dishes; it’s nothing tricky.
Also, I saw fire in her eyes. She wants this job.
Yabemiya is doing this job to survive, and Sally wants to satisfy her craving for good food.
She’ll be quicker with numbers once she masters the 9×9 table.
“Can she stay here, Boss?” Yabemiya asked, expectant.
Sally gave her a thankful look, and then looked at Mag.
“You said you could do all the cleaning? We have to clean the tables, floor, and even walls after we close. Do you think you can do all of it?” Mag asked.
Sally lifted her left hand. “Water, come cleanse this room of all the dirt and grease…”
