Traveling through time as a goblin, just wanting to live a leisurely life

"Oh! Today it's all crustaceans."

Grilled fish stall, the boss said with a smile.

Xiao Chen looked at the unfamiliar seafood in front of him, thoughtfully.

"Boss Tao, can you help me find out the names of these seafood?"

Igan asked.

The boss smiled and picked up a shrimp.

The shrimp was not big, about the thickness of a finger and half the length of a palm, but it was very lively and kept jumping in Boss Tao's hands.

"This kind of shrimp contains joy and happiness, and it is also very energetic and makes people feel very happy. I think it is called..."

Boss Tao pondered for two seconds and gave a name:

"I think we should call it Jumping Shrimp."

Igan: ???

Xiao Chen:......

What is the relationship between jumping shrimp and joy and happiness?

While the two were still thinking hard, they saw the boss grab a crab.

The crab fiercely showed its two claws, but Boss Tao grabbed it from the back, and no matter how the two claws waved, they could not clamp Boss Tao.

"It has a strong will and sharp edge. Its claws are powerful and fierce. I think we should call it a Crawling Crab?"

Boss Tao said seriously.

Ikan: ...

Xiao Chen: ???

The two people's thoughts were confused by the thunder in the cold midnight wind.

"Boss Tao, are you serious? Are you sure?"

Igan asked.

"Seriously, sure. I think the names we chose before were too serious. Today we need to come up with something cute and cheerful so that we can attract cute and cheerful customers. Xiao Chen! Put up the sign!"

After saying this, Boss Tao picked up the bucket and went to process the seafood.

Xiao Chen responded and hung up the menu sign, while also paying attention to today's guests.

Could it be that the guests who ordered the random menu today are really lovely and cheerful guests?

There are quite a few customers at the grilled fish stall today. Xiao Chen has to take orders and deliver food, so he is very busy.

So much so that he often recommends a casual menu to his customers, because in this way he doesn't need to ask the customers what kind of fish they want to eat or how they want it cooked...he can save a lot of effort in ordering.

Unfortunately, the customers were even less willing to order the random menu because of this. They felt that Chen was pushing the menu hard because the dishes were not good, so he didn't give the customers a choice. Everyone still gathered around the chilled seafood counter to choose seafood.

It was not until about 1:8 in the morning, when most of the customers in the food court had left, that eight more customers came to the grilled fish stall.

There was not much seafood left on the chilled table at this time. They looked around and didn't know what to eat. They also felt that the seafood on the chilled table was not enough, so they simply ordered a casual menu and let the boss help them decide.

"Boss! For eight people, can we have a free-style menu?"

Xiao Chen shouted.

"No problem! I'm ready."

Boss Tao pointed to a large basin next to the sink, which was filled with cleaned jumping shrimps. The boss seemed to have predicted the future, knowing that there would be a lot of customers ordering the buffet menu today.

When the 8 people heard the boss's reply, they all smiled and said "Thank you, boss for your hard work", "Thank you, boss", and then they moved the tables and chairs together and sat down in a corner.

Xiao Chen observed the eight guests. Although they were all wearing suits and shirts and everyone looked a little tired, they were indeed a group of very happy guests as the boss said.

They looked like business colleagues and had a good relationship. Except for one person who looked like a leader who was a little older, the others were all young people.

After a while, two more people joined them. They each brought a case of beer, and it was obvious that they wanted to celebrate something tonight.

"Come on, come on, one bottle each, let's drink first!"

The leader spoke first, and they planned to drink before the real food was served.

"Celebrate the completion of our project! Say goodbye to the overtime years! Cheers!"

"Ahhhh!"

“Congratulations on completing our project!!!”

“Thank God I can rest for a few days!!”

"cheers!"

The food street, which had gradually become quiet, became bustling again because of this group of people.

Fortunately, the food area is some distance away from the accommodation area, so it will not disturb those who are resting.

It just seems a little quiet and lonely, just like those people who face the night alone after working overtime.

"Team leader, how much is the bonus this time?"

After putting down the wine glass, someone asked.

"The whole project cost 28 yuan. According to the 10% bonus ratio, we can get at least 2.8 yuan this time. With overtime pay, each person will definitely get a bonus of 3 yuan. If the boss is satisfied with our work and gives us some additional bonuses, each person may be able to get an additional 1 or 2 yuan."

The team leader said with a smile.

"Great!"

"Long live!"

"Ahhhhh!!"

“It’s worth the effort!”

Everyone was very happy.

"But team leader, can you please not take on such cases next time? We can't handle a million-dollar project with just a few of us. We've been working overtime for three consecutive months."

"Yes, yes. When the program had a bug last time, I was lying in bed recovering from an illness! In the end, I still had to fix the program overnight. The client was really pushing for it!"

"And that time, when we needed to demonstrate our achievements..."

“When the client first met with us, the person in charge of the handover was really…”

"Fortunately, someone changed later."

"Yes! Later, Brother Yu was really nice and we made a lot of progress."

Everyone started talking about the big and small things that happened in the project. No matter good or bad, they have now become memories.

It wasn't until the first item was served that everyone turned their attention to the food.

"Here we go! Pan-fried grouper!"

Xiao Chen serves the food.

"Wow! So beautiful!"

"It smells so good!"

"I don't care. I want to eat first."

"Wait! Leave some for me!"

Everyone immediately rushed to grab the food, it felt like they hadn’t eaten dinner and had been working overtime until now.

Everyone was silent for a while, and after eating something, they started talking again.

"But then again, team leader, can you please not take on such projects next time? They only gave 28, but asked for content that others offered over 80. If we don't need this performance urgently and want to fight for it this time, we should take fewer such thankless projects."

One member spoke up.

"Yes, team leader. We have seen you apologize to clients several times and get scolded by the boss. Although you didn't say it, we all saw it. It was okay that we lacked sales before, but now we have made a name for ourselves. You don't have to take on such projects and endure such grievances anymore."

Another member said.
