Chapter 115 Branch Opening
At six o'clock the next day, the system alarm rang on time.
Xia Yan, who hadn't gotten up so early for a long time, got out of bed painfully, washed up in a daze, and rushed directly into the door of the first branch.
"The boss is here!" The customers who had been waiting outside the door early stared inside, and when they saw Boss Xia, they knocked on the glass excitedly.
"Boss, it's time to open for business!"
"Boss, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Hey, boss, don't go!"
"Why did she go back again?" The customers outside the door pressed themselves tightly against the glass, regardless of their image, looking at Boss Xia's back in confusion.
Xia Yan returned to the courtyard and leaned against the door, his mind instantly clearing up.
How could she forget such an important thing? With so many customers who didn't have cards, she definitely couldn't handle it all by herself. She would have to find a few employees to go with her.
"Qing Mingzi, Mengmeng, 001, the three of you follow me." Xia Yan waved her hand and led the three of them through the gate to the lobby of the first branch.
She found the card machine behind the cashier counter and handed it to Qing Mingzi and Meng Meng.
"You two are responsible for issuing cards, and 001 is responsible for guiding customers to line up and order. If you see that there is no place to sit in the store, you two must control the number of people entering the store.
001, come here. The ordering process here is the same as at the main restaurant. Remember to tell customers to automatically return their plates to the dishwasher after their meal."
Xia Yan looked back at his watch. It was almost 7 o'clock. The customers outside the door had automatically lined up in a long queue.
This quality is absolutely excellent.
Qing Mingzi and Meng Meng stood on both sides of the gate, ready to welcome customers.
At 7 o'clock sharp, Xia Yan pushed open the door and invited customers to come in and apply for cards.
"Everyone can line up in two lines. We have two employees who can process the cards. After entering the store, an employee will help everyone place their orders. Please come one by one."
When the woman who was about to apply for a card saw the small card on the forearm of the first person who applied for the card, she raised her hand to stop Qing Mingzi's action.
She was very cautious and asked him, "How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?"
Her question scared the first man with glasses who applied for the card. He broke out in a sweat immediately. He touched his arm and pinched the card embedded in his flesh. It was soft, as if it were his own flesh.
"No, nothing's wrong. I don't feel anything. What's wrong? Is there something wrong? Don't scare me."
The man with glasses' words attracted the attention of the people in the queue behind him, and they leaned over to look over.
Seeing that something was wrong, Xia Yan walked over and said, "Please rest assured, sir. The points card will not have any effect on your health. You can use it with confidence."
The boss's words reassured the man with glasses. He just wanted to eat early, and since he had passed the approval of the base to open a shop, he thought there would be no problem...
Everyone stared at the woman, and if she looked strange or left the store, they would disperse.
Because this woman is the strongest female king in this base - Mao Banqin, a level 5 ice-type mutant.
Mao Banqin looked at Xia Yan and asked calmly, "Boss, if I use up all my points and don't want to use them anymore, can I destroy them?"
Xia Yan smiled and nodded, "Of course you can. Double-click the card to find your personal information. There's a cancellation option there. Once you confirm the cancellation, the card will disappear. It won't have any impact on your physical or mental health, so feel free to use it."
Then Mao Banqin's gaze fell on the man with glasses, and he signaled him to double-click to operate.
"This customer, to ensure the privacy of your points card, no one except you can see it. You can ask him to find out if there's an option to cancel it, but I suggest you don't confirm it easily, as each customer only has one chance to apply for a card."
Just one chance to apply for a card?!
Everyone started talking in low voices.
The risk was too great, so Mao Banqin considered it and turned away.
Xia Yan smiled and made way.
The customers in the queue began to hesitate, and some left one after another, but they did not go far. They squatted in the shade nearby to watch the fun.
The customers at the front were also hesitant. They had originally thought it was a card, but they hadn't realized it existed inside their bodies. What if it was some special power that could explode at the will of the person?
"Boss Xia, please get me one."
Who is this brave warrior? Everyone looked over.
It turned out to be Fu Niang from the shop next door.
"I'll apply for a card." Fu Niang pinched the cloth bag around her waist, and small beads of sweat on the tip of her nose sparkled in the sunlight.
"Okay, welcome." Xia Yan smiled.
Fu Niang walked over to Qing Mingzi, handed over the crystal core, stretched out her forearm, pinched the points card that suddenly appeared, turned around and said to her: "Boss Xia, I'll go eat first."
Seeing that there was finally someone to keep him company, the man with glasses felt as if the overwhelming anxiety in his heart was shared by half.
He followed Fu Niang and ordered a meal after 001's introduction.
Before serving the food, he turned around and looked at the group of people at the door who had not yet applied for a card, and he still felt a little unhappy like a guinea pig in his heart.
"Here's your order, customer."
He turned around and saw a plate with his name on it, with five beef pies and hot plain milk on it, quietly waiting to be taken away at the serving port.
He took a deep breath, picked up the plate at 001's urging, sat opposite Fu Niang, and tried to ignore the eyes outside the glass who were expecting to see him eat.
Fu Niang glanced at him, snorted coldly, picked up a fried dough stick, took a bite, and began to peel the shell of a tea egg.
The man with glasses looked at her eagerly, and seeing that she didn't react, he made up his mind. He thought, the card had been processed anyway, and if he was going to die, he would have died long ago. It would be worth it to have a hot meal before he died!
He raised his glass of milk and took a long sip.
The mellow and rich milk slid into his esophagus and stayed in his stomach, leaving a slightly sweet taste on the tip of his tongue. It tasted even better than any other kind of milk he had ever drunk in peacetime!
The man with glasses was pleasantly surprised. He picked up the pie and took a big bite. The crust was fried till crispy and fragrant, and the beef filling inside was generous. What a delicious pie!
"Look, they've eaten it!"
The people outside exclaimed and clung to the glass, drooling with envy as they watched the two people inside enjoying their meal.
“There’s actually food.”
"Do you think there's something wrong with the meal? Mao Banqin has already left."
"If you ask me, it's normal for them to cherish their lives since their abilities are high. We don't have strong abilities either, and we don't have much except a few crystal cores. Food is more precious than people these days. Never mind, I'm starving just looking at this. Let's get a membership card and eat!"
"That makes sense. Bro, when you're done eating, come out and tell everyone how the food is!"
"Get lost! Boss, excuse me, I need a card."
"Welcome." Xia Yan nodded.
A few more people followed him to apply for cards, and the rest were still watching the fun.
Xia Yan waited for a while, and seeing that no one came, he closed the door and turned on the air conditioner.
Even though it’s only morning, the temperature is already over 30 degrees.
It’s just a matter of time before everyone gets a card, so she’s not in a hurry.
She ordered a bowl of eight-treasure porridge and tea eggs, turned on the TV, found a table to sit down and started eating.
