Then, Katsuko-nee also joins the storefront.
Anya also jumped in.
Kana-senpai will start helping out as an assistant beginning this week.
In addition to that, Ruriko and everyone’s going to help out in making the product.
And in normal circumstances, Ruriko and Mana take away her housewife seat in the mansion.
If you’re thinking about something then you should talk about it
Tsukiko tells Megu.
Last night, we parted in an awkward state.
I also want to talk to Megu.
Megu.
Uhm, Yoshi-kun
She made up her mind and talked to me.
However.
Goor morning! Wow, something smells good! Are all of these freshly baked?
Yukino barges in the dining room.
Good morning, everyone
Yoshiko-san as well.
Megu shut her mouth after seeing Yukino.
Sorry, I’m late, Megu-chan, I’m here to send you off
Margo-san appears at the entrance suddenly.
You’re going to be late in your training. Hurry up!
It’s still dangerous to go to school, so she has to be sent via a car.
Let’s go! Nei, I’ll send over Megu-chan then come back right away
O-Okay
Megu follows Margo-san
Ah, wait, Megu-chan!
Nei puts some baked bread into a paper bag.
Eat this with everyone in the club. And of course, ask them for their opinion
O-Okay
Nei gives Megu a job.
A job as a member of the baking team.
Take care, Megu
I said.
Yeah, I’m heading out
Then, Megu.
Yoshi-kun, good luck too
She told me.
Chapter 702
This is mine
This is the one I made
And this is the bread I made
Everyone recommends the one they made. Anyway, let’s eat.
I’ll eat a lot.
That includes the bacon and eggs Misuzu made for me.
You have to eat salad too!
Yes, Katsuko-nee.
Our stormy breakfast went by like that.
How is it as a product? Do you think it’ll work?
Katsuko-nee asks while she pours me an after-meal tea.
Yeah. Everyone’s skilled
I’ve seen Katsuko-nee teaching the members of bread-club in school, but.
This is a much more modest result.
Everyone’s serious about this
Katsuko-nee mutters.
This isn’t just a game for them. They want to help you out, and they understand what it means to sell the product to the customers
Besides, they’re smart. They’ve been reproducing what Katsu-nee taught them deliberately
Nei adds.
Of course, those who can’t do what they’re told is out of the question, those who are beyond saving make their own arrangement, and it ends up with a useless product
Ya-chan, what do you mean?
I mean, when given instruction, some think, why were the instructions are like this? and so they use their own methods saying This is a better way to do it and making more modifications. The person following instructions can repeat through trial and error and learn from experience which method is the best- is something they can’t imagine Some people can’t imagine other people’s hardships and believe that their inspiration is the correct one
Misuzu said.
Also, that self-confident person would claim to the people around that their way is much better than what’s instructed
And yet what they made is completely useless
Katsuko-nee accepts Nei’s story.
I imagine the time where my customers eat the baked products I make. For example, if it’s in school, those who buy it would probably eat it right away, see? Even if they put it aside to eat after club activities, that would only be a few hours later Yeah.
Nobody would save their school lunch until they’re home.
It’s for lunch, or a snack when they feel hungry.
But, if we were to become a bakery, then there are high possibilities of customers buying bread at 5 in the evening and eating it for breakfast. If it’s a sweet pastry, then they might eat it for night meal
Yeah, buying breakfast for the next day after work or school.
If that’s the case, the best bread to sell would be the type that’s the best when freshly baked, and if they let it get cold and pass the night, they’d want to warm it up again in the morning
I see.
Each kind changes the process. If you want to become a professional, then you have to use your imagination to that extent. It takes effort to get things right
But, those who don’t understand will just say Why would I do something so troublesome? That’s so stupid. You can get it better with this. The one giving instructions doesn’t understand it at all. Is that person an idiot? Do they want to die? And something like that Strong idiots will change it to the task convenient to them. Then they’d force their ways to the people around them
Katsuko-nee and Nei said.
They often say that the idiots who think that they’re smarter than other people are the first to break
Nei laughed.
But, even you Yo-chan, once you started the bakery, you’ll hire various people, so you need to identify them
Yeah, someday.
I’ll run out of hands in making and selling bread if I don’t hire people.
But, I’m an idiot, so I don’t know. If a strong-willed worker comes, how do I deal with them?
I don’t know.
People like them won’t listen to me even though I’m teaching them. I’m not smart enough so also if they object against me, I don’t think I can retort to them
Strong-willed people think that they are right.
They’d most likely make fun of me.
They’d skillfully use their words and speak of their opinion at a frightening momentum.
They won’t even listen to me.
Huh? Well, you just have not to hire those people, easy
Nei said.
Isn’t that why partime work and interviews exist?
No, Ya-chan. I get that. But, you can’t just figure out a person’s character and thoughts from just a short interview
People are complicated.
When you think that the person is a good one, so you hire them but what if they were hard to deal with? Then how do you face that person?
It makes me worry.
I don’t have confidence in human relationships.
What an idiot. If you think that it’s impossible to deal with, then fire the person
Yukino laughs from the end of the table and speaks to me.
Even if they make a mistake, you don’t think of fixing it or educating the person. Either way, you can’t do that
Huh?
But look. Don’t they often say that your workplace is your teacher?
I tell Yukino.
If I’m going to manage a store, then don’t I have to be the teacher and the guide for the workers?
Then, Yukino.
Look, are you going to make your bakery to a big company? Huge enough to have its own factory and deliver daily products to each chain store?
No, that’s not the plan
What’s with that overambitious idea.
I can’t manage such a huge company.
Then it’s only a single store, making and selling are all within Katsuko, and your eyes reach?
Yeah, well
That’s the bakery Katsuko-nee, and I aim for.
Then, don’t think about training employees. If you think Oh, I think I can work with this one then hire that if you think This one’s no-good then fire that one immediately
Yukino said.
But, isn’t it hard to meet the right person for the job?
Yoshiko-san asks Yukino.
Well, that’s true. Still. Do you know Francie? The man who’s showing up with me on TV every week, the Gay one
I know. I always watch your show
I replied.
thanks
Yukino blushed for a moment, but.
Recently, Francie’s talking with me in the dressing room. That guy writes columns or essays for magazines. The TV is just his side work
I know that too.
He mentioned that on a recent broadcast.
But, for now, he’s in the entertainment office’s seat. And then, it’s been years since he came on TV, see? Then recently, the manager in the office is replaced with a new one. The boss in Francie’s office told him you’re already a veteran in the TV world, so you’re now going to raise the new recruits in the company Yeah.
