Luo Huan hadn't been here for a month, and he found the store different from before.

Bai Jing mentioned several times in the group that the furry shop had "new things", but he couldn't explain the details of the "new things".

Only after he came did he realize how much the changes were. Without Lu Yuan's guidance, Luo Huan excitedly began to explore.

Zhou Su fell last, rubbed his eyes hard, found it was useless, and hurriedly left.

Outside, the sun was scorching, the cicadas were noisy, and the hot wind brushed against the skin, making people feel upset.

Zhou Su felt that she had heat stroke, and it was very serious.

Lu Yao realized that the person was missing, and went to look for him. He saw that Zhou Su looked unhappy, "It's too hot outside, let's go in and sit down, have a drink and relax."

Zhou Su grabbed Lu Yao's hand, a little weakly: "I seem to be hallucinating. Just now in the store, it felt like I was at the bottom of the sea, there were fish swimming, but there were also cats and a lot of people, and seals were sliding on the slide..."

It was too confusing.

Lu Yao nodded: "Don't panic, it may not be an illusion, come in and take a look again."

Zhou Su: "???" Lu Yao

dragged her back into the store, "It's at the bottom of the sea, we have some amusement facilities, some fat and furry creatures, and we provide simple meals for customers."

Zhou Su's eyes were wide open, her brain stopped thinking, and she was still being led by Lu Yao as a puppet.

Although she loves to read fantasy novels and follow TV dramas that are out of touch with reality, as a mature adult, Zhou Su believes that she can distinguish between dreams and reality.

But at this moment, she is suddenly not so sure.

This store is too strange, and the owner is also strange.

Why can she say something so calmly that is completely incomprehensible?

Zhou Su didn't want to listen to anything, nor did she want to confirm it, she just felt scared. Jiuhua

came out of the kitchen with flour on her hands and face, and she was in a mess. When she saw Lu Yao, she immediately asked for help pitifully: "Owner, help! I really can't handle that moon cake!"

Harold was borrowed from the nail salon, and Uncle Ming was actually from the blind box store. The cooking skills of this dragon and one person are still at the kindergarten level, and Jiuhua didn't count on it.

The new operator looked decent and was a skilled cook who was no less talented than her, but she was of no help.

Jiuhua had done a lot of homework and her theory was very mature, but she just couldn't make the mooncakes she imagined. Lu Yao

pushed Zhou Su, who was dazed, aside and said, "The dim sum chef who came here to apply for the position today is Zhou Su. The jujube paste roll that you like so much was made by her. Why don't you ask her opinion?"

Jiuhua immediately pulled Zhou Su up when she heard it, "Thank you for helping me! Come on, you're the only one who can make the mooncakes in our store!"

Since she was the dim sum chef of the Maorongrong shop, Jiuhua had no burden in calling her out.

Zhou Su was pulled into the kitchen and suddenly came back to her senses. The relatively familiar closed environment and kitchen utensils gave her some sense of security. "Where is this?"

Jiuhua blinked: "My name is Jiuhua, a clerk at the Furry Shop. There is no time to explain. Can you help me look at this mooncake first?"

Talking about food immediately put Zhou Su in her comfort zone. She was eager to get rid of the panic feeling as if someone was chasing her, so she took the initiative to walk to the cooking table. "What kind of mooncake do you want to make?"

Jiuhua took out a small notebook with pictures and text on it.

Zhou Su could understand Jiuhua's language, but she couldn't read the text. The strange feeling came again.

Jiuhua saw that the chef wanted to run away, so she grabbed her wrist and said, "It's like this, the owner said that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the four shops will sell mooncake gift boxes together..."

...

Lu Yao stood at the door for a while. The Sheniu version of Jiuhua was simply invincible in the Sea of ​​Eden.

Zhou Su was already confused, and began to think about mooncakes according to Jiuhua's thoughts.

Half of the old-fashioned pastries and small mooncakes ordered by Lu Yao were divided into the snack bar, and the rest were added to the limited-time menu of the furry shop.

The customers here ate it once by chance and found the taste fresh.

Word of mouth spread, and people came to ask from time to time. Lu Yao asked the water drop seal to open for business, and the fat leopards went to the kitchen to get snacks, which scared Zhou Su.

Experience and experience are accumulated, and Zhou Su is no longer as surprised as when she first came in.

A well-trained Border Collie will help its owner to get things and can distinguish between items.

Imagine a magical shop in the deep sea, with chubby little seals as the waiters. It is quite logical.

Zhou Su tried to convince herself. Lu

Yao walked around and found that all areas were normal. The kitchen did not need her help, so she went upstairs to check the situation on the sea

. The reservation quota was full and all tickets had been issued.

Ji Zhixin walked on the wooden bridge outside the connection room, holding up his mobile phone and taking pictures non-stop.

Lu Yao came up and saw this scene. He walked over slowly, "What are you taking pictures of?"

Ji Zhixin trembled and almost dropped his phone into the water. He finally caught it and turned back awkwardly: "Sunset."

The clouds and the sea in this world have an indescribable beauty. The water surface and time are quiet and slow, as if they were frozen together.

Every time he stopped to gaze, Ji Zhixin couldn't help but take out his phone and take a few pictures as a souvenir.

The phone cannot receive signals outside the range of our store, and the camera function can be used normally.

Unfortunately, the photos taken cannot be published, and they must be deleted when leaving work.

If the image data is not deleted, the phone will explode when you step out of the furry shop.

After changing two new mobile phones in two consecutive days, Ji Zhixin still couldn't help but want to take pictures when he saw such a scenery. At worst, he could delete it before leaving work.

Lu Yao overlapped her index finger and thumb to make a photo frame and pointed it at the distance. The sunset that looked like salted egg yolk and the thin clouds of water color where the sea and sky met were captured in the frame.

"It's really beautiful."

She took out her cell phone and took a few photos, and recorded a video of the sunset about to sink.

Ji Zhixin stood up and was much taller than Lu Yao. She accidentally noticed that her cell phone screen saver was a photo of a sleeping seal with a water droplet. She was moved and asked, "Can the videos and photos taken by the store owner be kept forever?" Lu Yao

nodded.

Ji Zhixin was envious: "So my cell phone always explodes because of the confidentiality agreement?"

Lu Yao didn't understand at first, but after thinking for a while he understood what he meant, and shook his head and said, "Probably not. Due to some unknown rules, the alien world cannot be directly observed by our world for the time being. They only exist behind the doors of every store in the shopping street."

The pictures and videos cannot be published because there is no star gate in this world, the same principle that items from other worlds cannot be brought into this world.

Unknown rules?

In the alien world that cannot be observed normally, only the owner can enter at will without restrictions.

Ji Zhixin's eyes lit up, as expected the owner is the one who holds the key.

As the sky darkened, the guests of the Sea of ​​Eden gradually left, and the furry shop became empty.

Lu Yao and Ji Feiming came down from the fishing room on the slide, and Jing Yuxi and Luo Huan sat at the low table by the window and talked.

Erxin and the other little pigs have been trained to get off work on time. They are lying on the floor with their arms and legs spread out, occupying the small restaurant. Lu

Yao picked up Erxin, who looked like a fat sea cucumber, and walked to Jing Yuxi's table: "When did you come?"

Jing Yuxi won a good place in the last international piano competition. He was in a relaxed state of mind. When he saw Lu Yao, he smiled: "It's been a long time. Where did you slide down from?"

They have already visited the seabed area and stroked all the furry creatures, but they didn't notice that there is a slide in the restaurant.

Lu Yao: "On the sea surface, there is an expansion of the fishing room. It's too late today. You can come over to play tomorrow."

Jing Yuxi and Luo Huan were surprised one second and regretted the next.

Jing Yuxi ordered dishes angrily: "Lu Yao, I want seafood, a large sashimi platter, sea urchin rice with sea urchin, and a fruit platter. Hey, when did the old-fashioned snacks appear? One more."

Luo Huan ordered tea, snacks, and a sashimi platter, and whispered: "Doctor Bai hasn't come yet. Is he delayed?"

Ji Zhixin went to the kitchen to add the order. Lu Yao sat down: "Bai Jing said he would come over?"

Jing Yuxi shook his head: "I don't know."

Luo Huan: "He said he was off duty in the afternoon, let's eat here together."

Lu Yao: "Maybe he received an emergency patient."

Until it was dark, the furry shop closed, and Bai Jing didn't come.

Jing Yuxi and Luo Huan ate and drank enough, and left reluctantly to say goodbye to Lu Yao.

Luo Huan was not yet an adult and did not have a driver's license. He did not dare to ask his family driver to take him here, so he rode his bicycle here by himself.

Jing Yuxi asked him to put the bicycle in the back and give him a ride.

Lu Yao watched the two of them leave, turned around and walked towards the blind box shop. It was

still daytime in the world of impermanence, and there were only two shop assistants outside to look after the customers.

Lu Yao greeted them and entered the laboratory.

Zhong Ruying, Luo Huian, Xue Ge, Linglan and Huzai were all inside.

"How are the mooncakes?" Lu Yao pushed open the door of the laboratory.

Linglan immediately clung to her and said proudly, "It's done."

Luo Huian nodded aside, "Just finished."

Lu Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, a little curious: "Let me see."

Everyone made way, and there was a compass-shaped box on the table.

The box is like a star disk, divided into black and white, and it is clearly a balanced compass.

"How did you think of using this pattern?" Lu Yao stroked the box surface, the pattern on it was uneven, it was both a balanced compass and a map.

Ling Lan: "The compass in my sister's room is very special, I can't take my eyes off it every time I see it. Later, when I asked, it was not just me, everyone had that feeling. Once, Mr. Jiang saw it and said that the pattern on the compass looked like a world map from 20 years ago. When we discussed moon cakes and gift boxes this time, we thought of using the compass mold."

The wooden gift box has clear patterns, dark paint, and a circle of gold lines drawn on the surface with crystal core liquid. The style is exquisite and elegant.

Lu Yao opened the mooncake box and was slightly startled. "What is this?"

There were nine square white mooncakes, which together formed a balanced compass, but the pattern on the compass was different from that on the box.

Mountains, rivers and lakes were replaced by wasteland and ruins, with totems representing tribes of human settlements, mutant plants and mutant animals, and the middle was a blind box store.

Luo Hui'an: "The world twenty years ago has collapsed in countless changes. This is the new world map."

The center of the new world is a blind box store.

The neatly arranged mooncakes have white and glutinous skins, slightly transparent, revealing the color of the fillings.

Lu Yao picked up a piece, took a small bite, chewed it carefully, and then drank a sip of tea and praised, "Delicious!"

The outer skin is soft, and the filling is crispy and fragrant without being greasy. The taste is not amazing at the first bite, but it becomes more delicious the more you eat it.

The fillings of each mooncake correspond to different colors, but they fit perfectly with the map on the compass of balance, including verdant mountains and forests, gray-black wastelands, silver-white snow-capped peaks, bell orchid totems with gold and green, and cat paws representing the territory of alien beasts... Lu Yao

ate three pieces in a row. The fillings were of different colors, different ingredients, and different tastes, including green tea jasmine, lard and black sesame, kidney bean and lotus paste, and fried ham with salted egg yolk...

"You can taste the thought that went into the mooncakes. They're delicious, I like them! But it's troublesome to make a lot, right? Just the box is a lot of work." Lu Yao touched the intricate patterns on the box with his fingers.

Linglan: "I made the box. The first problem is that it's easy to make with the mold."

Zhong Ruying: "The mooncake mold has also been made, and the ratio of fillings and crusts has been adjusted to the best. The division of labor makes it very fast. If you are really too busy, you can ask the elderly nearby to help."

Lu Yao nodded: "Okay, it's arranged very well."

Lu Yao took a box of mooncakes and put it in the warehouse as a sample. He left the blind box shop and turned to walk into the nail salon.

It was late at night in Alexandria, but the nail salon was brightly lit. The foreign clerks were probably still making mooncakes all night.

Lu Yao pushed open the door, "I'm back."

In the lobby leisure area, foreign clerks sat on the sofas in groups, drinking tea and reading books, a leisurely scene.

It was not the same as expected, and there was an unfamiliar face among the familiar faces, but Lu Yao also recognized it, the mermaid chef Du Manning. Lu

Yao walked in, greeted Du Manning first, turned to look at the clerk: "Are the mooncakes ready?"

Mumu moved to Lu Yao's side, stretched out her little fleshy hand to grab her trouser leg, "Jiji!"

In the middle of the table was a sparkling treasure chest. The material was a bit like jade, slightly transparent, and the edges were inlaid with tiny gems, which sparkled dazzlingly.

Lu Yao paused, "The mooncakes are in the treasure chest?"

Everyone had an unfathomable expression and said nothing.

This dead look was learned from comics. Lu Yao regretted giving them too much material.

She leaned over to open the treasure chest and blinked.

The box was so intimidating, but the mooncakes inside were very cute.

There were dozens of pieces in total, and the style was completely different from the blind box shop. The mooncakes made by the nail salon were three-dimensional, no wonder they chose to use a treasure chest.

Lu Yao poked it with a small silver spoon. The bottom was soft, like a cake base, with fillings sandwiched in it. In the middle was a layer of hard candy. On top of the candy were miniature versions of the ten major races living in Alexandria: dragons, fairies, demons, elves, undead, vampires, demons, mermaids, subhumans, and humans.

Lu Yao poked it with a silver spoon. The little people standing on the base were soft and bouncy, with a texture similar to jelly, but their images were delicate and lifelike, with great details, and they also revealed the selfishness of the maker.

The fairy mooncakes were a pair of cute twins. The dragon mooncakes had three jelly dragons in gold, red and black silver. To represent wealth, the base was decorated with simulated gold and silver jewelry. The blood mooncakes had a bat holding a soft slime. The demon mooncakes had a slime wearing a bat headdress and holding a human doll in its arms. The doll looked very similar to Lu Yao.

As she expected, none of the alien shop assistants compromised. In the end, they each made the mooncake they wanted to make.

It was so exquisite beyond imagination that Lu Yao couldn't bear to eat it.

Harold was annoyed by her nagging, so he picked out the mooncake with three little dragons from the box, "Eat this, the black and silver little dragon is the best."

There are too many types of dragons, and when making mooncakes, the three little dragons all wanted to be the image of their own attributes, and they fought when they couldn't decide. The fight

between the dragons was particularly annoying, and finally, after Ambrose's suggestion, they adopted this compromise.

Facing Harold's blatant insult, Si Jin's face darkened, "The taste is different. After the owner has eaten, please honestly choose the best little dragon."

Tina also looked at Lu Yao with a burning gaze.

Lu Yao: “…”

Mumu hurried over, took out the demon mooncake with her little claws, and pushed it in front of Lu Yao, looking at her with her big watery eyes: “Ji!”

The twin fairies also flew over and took out their fairy mooncakes: “Eat us!”

Lu Yao: “…”

I really don’t want to eat children.

After coming out of the nail salon, Lu Yao was staggering when she walked.

She couldn’t hold on and took a bite of each mooncake.

Edward’s blood mooncake was filled with wine. Ambrose said it was the fine wine that the ancestor had hidden for a thousand years.

The last time he woke up, he dug it out of his coffin.

Lu Yao at the time: “…”

Standing at the door of the snack bar, Lu Yao took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

It was midnight and the snack bar had just closed.

Xiaoqie heard the sound at the door and guessed it was Luyao, so she ran out to greet her, "Shopkeeper, our mooncakes are ready. You are the first to taste them."

Luyao: "..."
