The interviewer looks familiar...
Carl took a closer look, isn't this the narrator of the Virgin Mary at the Liberty Auction? I seem to have tricked him... Karl felt a little guilty, he thought he was a good person, but his behavior of bidding low at the auction was a bit unkind to Lidney, and it actually made him come to him to apply for a job chef.
"Uh... hello, we met..." Lidney was a little at a loss, "I'm here to apply for a chef, I need a job, I will work very hard..."
Carl interrupted him: "You know how to cook?"
"Yes," Lidney nodded, "If you can please give me this job, I need it very much, you can tell me what dishes you like, I will learn..."
Before Lidney could finish speaking, Carl waved his hand, "Okay, it's you."
Carl told Lidney to go back and pack his things quickly, and he could go to work in the afternoon, because they really needed someone who could cook to help.
"5,000 per month, the boss will give you a bonus during the Chinese New Year, including food and housing. You only need to cook."
Welfare so good
Renting a house in Freeport is very expensive. Now the board and lodging are all settled, and I only need to cook. This job is really great. Lidney feels that he is not too unlucky. If it wasn't for Carl, where would he find such a job? good job.
In order to let Lidney feel the care from his colleagues, Karl took Haian to the largest supermarket in Freeport to buy new clothes and daily necessities, and planned to let Lidney live on the boat.
"To be honest, there is no more comfortable accommodation than our ship. You can decorate your room however you want. You can do whatever you want, and no one will care about you."
"It's much better to be a chef on our ship than to be a commentator there. Can the people at the auction take you to buy these! Only we can!"
Carl beeps as he tosses the stuffed animal into the cart.
"Uh...Mr. Carl, you don't need these..." Lidney tried to stop Carl, he had grown up and these toys were no longer needed.
Carl asked him back: "Did anyone give you these toys when you were a child?"
"No… "
"That's it, hold it and don't beep!" Carl stuffed a big white rabbit into Lidney's arms, and said to him seriously, "Life without a doll is incomplete. Now, you You are already my colleague, these are my presents to you."
Lidney hugged the white rabbit, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, finally lowered his eyes, and said softly: "...Thank you."
Children in orphanages don't have any toys to play with. If you have a stuffed animal, it will either be snatched or broken in no time. No one has ever given him a toy.
"That's right!" Carl suddenly exclaimed, "We haven't bought eggs yet!"
After speaking, Carl grabbed Lidney's hand and walked to the food area, taking several baskets of bird eggs (the size of ostrich eggs).
"Hey, the eggs bought at the auction last time are still delicious, and those eggs are a little more tender." Carl complained, it's a pity that August didn't let him buy more, otherwise he would have taken all the eggs from the auction away .
Lidney: ... I really ate it.
Those eggs are indeed very expensive for civilians like Lidney, but Karl and the others are retired soldiers. The previous salary alone was quite a lot, and the pension was more, not to mention that Karl secretly saved his wife's money.
After shopping, Karl accompanied Lidney back to get the teardrop flowers.
Lidney held the teardrop flower and said to Carl: "Can I advance a little salary first... I want to raise this potted plant..." Lidney didn't want to sell this pot of teardrop flower at the beginning. Will plan to sell it at the auction house, but now that he has found a job, maybe it is enough to raise this potted plant. Although he can't buy the best one for it, he will definitely try his best to take good care of it.
It's just that he hasn't worked for a day and needs to advance his salary. He is afraid of leaving a bad impression on Carl, so he has held back until now.
"Of course," Carl agreed very readily, "I'll take you to buy daily necessities for plants. I know a store with good quality of daily necessities. Our captain will go there to buy daily necessities today. If you are lucky, you can still buy daily necessities. Go to him and let him settle the bill." Carl made a good plan.
"Good afternoon, gentlemen, what do you want to buy?" A robot stood respectfully at the counter and said to Karl and the others.
"Pace, are there any customers?" A person came from inside, who was the owner of the shop.
The owner of the store looked very frail, thin and white, standing next to the tall robot made him even more slender.
"Hello," the shop owner greeted them with a smile. "Ah, you are really timely. We are going to close in a while."
"So early?" Karl was surprised, it was only noon.
The owner sighed: "Yes, the store is moving, you are the last customers in the store, I will give you a 50% discount for this shopping."
Lidney:! ! !
I really got lucky!
"Why are you going to move the store suddenly? Is the business not good?" Lidney couldn't help asking him curiously when the shop owner was helping Lidney choose flowerpots.
"This one is of good quality." The owner handed a flower pot to Lidney, and after Lidney took it, he continued, "Pace wants to move it. Pace treats me very well. He wants to visit another planet."
Lidney glanced at the straight robot standing by the counter at the door, and Pace also turned his head when he heard the movement here, and smiled at them.
"Pace grew up with me. I am not in good health. In the past, Pace worked hard to make money for my medical expenses. He will not harm me."
Lidney couldn't understand: "But, he's just a robot..."
The shop owner shook his head indifferently: "Maybe you can't understand, but to me, Pace is not a robot, he is my family, and all the decisions he makes are for my own good, and I respect his decision."
Lidney was about to leave with the daily necessities of the teardrop flowers. The shop owner and Paisi stood at the door to send them off: "Thank you for your patronage. I hope we can meet again on another planet."
The shopkeeper blinked his left eye at Lidney: "I'll give you a 50% discount then."
"Okay, thank you." Lidney waved goodbye to the owner.
Carl took Lidney back to the spaceship with a bunch of things.
Bring a pot of teardrop flowers.
