A Future Girl in a Past Life

First Day of Work

    I was strolling most of the way back to camp then I crossed paths with a snake that was named Jared. "Hey, Darci, how did everything go? Did you finally not get what you wanted?" I stopped in my tracks and turned to face him. "I got everything I set out to get, and a chance to learn something new, and plus the coffee beans." after I said that we were approaching the camp I was stopped by Jenny. "Did you get everything we need and more from your trip into town?" I nodded and turned to her an spoke "Not only got a bag of coffee beans for working a week but I may also get some wages as well. I start tomorrow morning at dawn with a Mr. Brown." my grin widened as soon as I saw Henry. Henry waved and walked up and we went to our spot in the forest. We've camped a few different places and in all the places we have camped we chose somewhere to call our place so we could talk alone if we needed to. Once we sat down I told him all about what happened and as soon as I was done talking, he just had to chime in. "Just be careful we both know what happened the last time you went to help out someone for a week and the end of the week you never wanted to go back to that town remember." I nodded then remembered Marcus "I don't think I have to worry too much, he is too sweet and innocent for his own good. Or he is really good at playing innocent." "All the same, just be careful if anything happens to you we would have to go back to the old way of doing things and I just don't want to have to work too hard." he said half sarcastically and the other half jokingly. We both giggled to each other then I left to go to my carriage in order to sleep so I could wake up early to get to work on time. I woke up early and threw on some different clothes, I threw on a nice shirt and some decent non holey jeans, thank goodness that this time has jeans, As I walked down the road to the tavern I was making myself more excited than anything, I walked up to the tavern and tried to open the door and to m surprise the door was locked and no one was around to help me. I looked around again and to my surprise there was a broom and a piece of cloth that was left out I am guessing from the night before. I picked up the cloth and started to wipe down he windows at least all the ones in the front and on the side I felt was seen the most. After I was done with that I picked up the broom from the side of the building and as I started to sweep the front stoop of the tavern I saw that someone was walking up to the place, and once I was done sweeping he was right in front of me he looked shocked that I knew how to clean. "What are you doing?" he asked. "I'm sweeping what does it look like I am doing?" He looked a little upset by what I said then he relaxed a little. "I'm sorry if I cam across a little rude in the camp you have to establish a certain amount of mean in order to survive." after saying that I looked away a little ashamed of what I did I moved out of the was so he could get to the door before anything he went to grab the cloth I stopped him in his tracks when I said "Hey, just so you know I already go the door handle, the windows and the window sills." he stood there shocked for a few minutes I went and jingled the handle on the locked door after I did a quick sweep and when MR. Brown heard the handle he dug into his pocket for a key once he found the key he unlocked the door the very first thing I did is check the tables and lower the chairs to the floor after I did one more sweep through the floor once that was done I set up the tables for the customers setting the candles out. While I was setting up the front of the tavern he was in his office doing whatever he did before he opened a tavern. Once I was done with the tables and the floors, I checked on the glassware and then just for fun I counted them once I was done with counting all of the dishes and glassware I went to the office and knocked on the door once he answered for me to come in I opened the door and took one stop inside. He looked up from his work "What is it do yo not know what to do? I don't have time to watch over you the whole day." I stared at him, "I just wanted to know what else you want done." he looked at me and then started to speak "What have you done so far?" he asked. I answered "I have wiped down the tables swept through the tavern and I have counted the dishes and glassware I don't know if there is anything else that needs to be done before we open too early if you ask me I have also started a batch of coffee." he looked at me like I was crazy. I didn't like it, he finally opened his mouth "I need to know what the numbers are, can you read the number off for me?" I shook my head and he looked at me dumbfounded before he could say anything, I opened my mouth and began to list off the numbers that were stored in my memory. He sat there just taking notes of the numbers that I was tel him when I stopped he looked up at me and then began to speak :Why do you thing that we open this early and how much coffee did you brew?" "Well, I was thinking if you really wanted to make a profit, then you should be open for breakfast that would make you more of a profit. I am just saying and if you did this everyday then you would not only make money in the morning but you would also make money in the afternoon and the evening for lunch I don't know why you don't" he looked at me like I just told him a miracle way of earning money. "I don't know what you think you are doing but I want you to stop with all this thinking, I don't open tin the morning because I don't have the staff." before he could finish his statement I interrupted "I am sitting here not doing anything and I know how to take orders, make the food then take the food out to them and then you make even more profit because you are paying me in coffee beans you're not losing money by being open right now. Look I am not hurting your bottom line at all I mean I try this out today and it doesn't work you don't end up worse or better you will be the same but, if it works you make nothing but profits because you are the boss and if I really need help you can help right by occupying their time while I catch up. You get to know your customers and you establish a customer base and keep them coming back and once I am gone you can get someone that would do it and you would still be making a profit because you are already ahead of the game at that point."

Will Mr. brown go for the business deal with Darci?
