Business Simulator 5

Looking at the eye-catching "Closed" sign in front of the door, the little boy looked a little disappointed: "Is it sold out?" He even brought two plates to pack a portion for his grandfather!

Chu Yun felt extremely sorry for the little boy's aggrieved expression, but the word "yes" never came out of her mouth.

"Yes, they're sold out, but you have a special treat!"

"Really?" The little boy's mouth curled up happily again.

Chu Yun smiled like a bad aunt who kidnapped children: "Yes, come in quickly."

"That's great, thank you, sister. You are such a nice person."

This little mouth is so sweet. Chu Yun has no resistance to the sincere, cute, kind and smart child. After saying a few more words, he couldn't help but want to give him all the treasures in the space.

Considering that there are three people in Xiao Zhengtai's family, Chu Yun made a portion of each dish for Xiao Zhengtai as usual.

After seeing off the mother and son, Chu Yun and Yu Wenhao went shopping for supplies. Xu Dongdong stayed to paint. Among the customers who had arrived that morning, some of them, bored from waiting in line, visited Xu Dongdong's studio. They liked his simple and elegant style and bought two paintings for 5,000 gold coins. He needed to paint a few more to fill in the gaps.

It’s still the same mall as last time.

He also needed to buy a door curtain to block out peeping Toms, and purchase five sets of tables and chairs to put outside the door and five sets to put in Yu Wenhao's shop. He also needed dozens of sets of bowls and chopsticks, a steamer, an automatic floor scrubber, and an automatic tiller.

This world has no plants. Chu Yun searched the entire mall for an automatic tiller but couldn't find one. Only after asking Butler Zhou for help did he finally find one with similar functions. After buying everything they needed, Chu Yun and Yu Wenhao returned home with a full load.

The popularity of customers these days earned him a lot of gold coins. After deducting the cost of shopping, Chuyun's account balance was 40,000.

Day 5 in Greentown.

The number of customers has been increasing over the past two days, and the store has been closing earlier and earlier. Many people have complained, but despite their complaints, they still line up the next day. Little Shota and his mother come every day, and Chuyun always saves an extra portion for them.

The stock in Chuyun Space Ring is almost used up. The new crop of vegetables is ripe, and the staple foods and watermelons will also be harvested today.

Only the last basket of vegetables was to be sold today, so Chu Yun handed it to Xu Dongdong and Yu Wenhao, and couldn't wait to enter the Happy Farm early in the morning.

The farm was thriving. The corn and rice were ripe, a captivating golden hue shimmering in the sunlight, like a field of gold. The potato vines were sun-dried and ready for harvest. She'd been plucking lots of tender sweet potato leaves, which were incredibly fresh when stir-fried. Judging by their growth, it was time to pull them up. Three more vegetables were added: tomatoes, pumpkin, and water spinach.

The breeze, carrying the sweet aroma of fruits and vegetables, washed away the depression in my heart, leaving me feeling refreshed. The five farm employees also entered the dungeon to complete their tasks. They happily greeted their boss and got to work following his instructions.

Of all the crops, only one-tenth was left for seed, and the rest was picked. With the help of the electric harvester and automatic thresher, the workers moved much faster.

One employee washed corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. Chu Yun then sent them off to Yu Wenhao and Xu Dongdong. These three dishes are primarily steamed, and pre-steaming them and storing them in the space ring saves a lot of work tomorrow. Another employee washed vegetables, another dehulled rice, and another drove a plow to cultivate and water the land.

Because they had planted an extra half acre of vegetables, the yield was more than three times what they had last time. The eight varieties of vegetables almost took up half the space. The space ring could store things in layers according to Chu Yun's ideas; otherwise, a normal warehouse would definitely not be enough.

She also picked a dozen watermelons, planning to send one to Xiao Zhengtai's home, keep one for herself, and sell the remaining eight. She cut a watermelon on the spot, leaving a portion for Xu Dongdong and Yu Wenhao, and giving each of them a large piece. In addition to the watermelons, she gave each employee a pound of rice, three stalks of corn, five potatoes and sweet potatoes, and a pound of vegetables.

The employees were holding their own supplies, all grinning from ear to ear. This job is safe and well-paid, and other people in the community are envious.

Day 6 in Greentown.

Chuyun’s new variety has aroused another wave of enthusiastic attention and discussion.

Butler Zhou lent them two bodyguards. The two dark-faced bodyguards stood there in the uniform of the Zhou Group, and no one dared to make trouble. Butler Zhou said that Chu Yun could borrow them for free for one day.

Yu Wenhao stopped maintaining order and set up a large table at the junction of his own shop and Chuyun's shop and started selling staple foods and watermelons.

On the table stood four stacks of steamers, each nearly 1.5 meters tall. The food, freshly taken out of the steamer, was still steaming. Next to the steamers lay several large, beautifully patterned watermelons, lush and juicy, making them look very appetizing.

The aroma of corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes wafted into everyone's nose. No one could resist the allure of carbohydrates, especially for those who had never eaten a staple food in their lives. These were sold individually, each for 100 gold coins.

The watermelons produced by Chuyun Farm were larger than normal, weighing several dozen kilograms, practically comparable to winter melons. Everyone craned their necks, gazing eagerly at the plump watermelons, filming them from all angles with props in hand.

With the emergence of new breeds, they might become the next Yuan Jingjing. I heard that Yuan Jingjing is now making a lot of money from endorsements and advertising.

Yu Wenhao used a long fruit knife to slice the watermelon. With a crisp snap, the watermelon split in half, revealing the bright red flesh. The flesh was tender and juicy, and the fragrance was palpable even before it entered his mouth. The watermelon was sold by the piece, 100 gold coins per piece.

The first person in line had been eating vegetables for several days straight, so seeing the new varieties today, he bought a corn, a sweet potato, and a piece of watermelon without hesitation. If Chu Yun hadn't limited each person to three items, he would have wanted to stock up on more.

This world is filled with ice. The watermelon had been pre-chilled, giving it a refreshing coolness. The first bite of watermelon, brimming with juice and fragrance, was a refreshing sweetness that made it impossible to put down. While the second customer was still deciding which three items to choose, he wolfed them down, smacking his lips as he savored the taste.

The cold-faced bodyguards standing on either side couldn't help but move their throats. This job, seemingly easy, was actually quite torturous. They were clearly ravenous, yet they still had to stand upright to maintain discipline.

Fortunately, Chu Yun was considerate and provided the staff lunch with a variety of vegetables and staple foods, plus half a watermelon, which was enough to fill them up. The two bodyguards were very nervous at first, but after tasting the food, they couldn't help but let go of their restraint and started to devour it.

No wonder it has been so popular on social platforms. It is simply a delicacy. Those nutrient solutions are nothing compared to it.

That night, the two bodyguards presented Mr. Zhou with a big watermelon. The old man was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling and praised it while eating.

The staple food craze has been popular for a week and has remained at its peak. The once hottest world star was only popular for one night and then disappeared.

Because of the sudden emergence of Chuyun's restaurant, plants have re-entered people's vision.

With the support and communication of the old man of Zhou Group, Chu Yun donated a small bag of each plant seed he currently owned to the government for free to express his sincerity. Chu Yun had to take care of the shop, so the old man of Zhou Group personally delivered it on his behalf.

The white-haired researcher in the scientific laboratory took the precious packets of seeds with great anticipation and began to plan: a few seeds for planting, a few seeds for research as an experimental group, a few seeds for the control group, and the rest for reserve.

The laboratory is affiliated with the national government, but it also cooperates with major nutrient solution manufacturers, and the research results will be given priority to the manufacturers, so no one comes to trouble Chu Yun.

Moreover, Chu Yun had a close relationship with the Zhou Group. Old Master Zhou had said that anyone who dared to oppose Chu Yun would be opposing his Zhou Group. The Zhou Group controlled the real estate and construction industries worldwide, and no business person would casually provoke a large family with land.

The ban on food-eating videos has also been explicitly abolished, and a large number of food bloggers have recently emerged. They don't rely on appearance or talent, but simply by checking in at a Chuyun store, filming a meal video with a simple explanation, they can gain a large number of fans. The more delicious the food, the more people watch it.

The pass to the province where Green City is located is already based on luck of the draw. Local NPCs can still take a flying car to get there quickly. People in other cities now have money but nowhere to spend it. They rush to the lottery platform on time every day, praying that they will be the next lucky one.

After Chu Yun gave away the precious seeds for free, she received invitations from several large families, all wanting to invite her to a gathering. However, Chu Yun had to open a shop and then go to Happy Farm to farm, so she never had the time.

After 15 days, the plants planted at the institute finally sprouted. That day, major media outlets rushed to report on the event. The green sprout received enormous coverage, dominating major news headlines.

These seeds, without the zombie nucleus-soaked stream water, grew the same way as normal plants. So, while there was still a long way to go before the plants became widely available, Chu Yun's small restaurant remained incredibly popular.

All this news was brought up by customers who came to eat or told to her by Butler Zhou.

Yes, butler Zhou's main task now includes accompanying the young master and his wife to Chuyun's small restaurant every day to eat and punch in. They come every day and never miss a meal. Since eating Chuyun's cooking, the complexions of mother and son have become noticeably rosy, and their mental state has also improved.

The old man told him to consult Butler Zhou if he needed anything, and Chu Yun didn't hesitate. She asked Butler Zhou to help her find information about the Land Item Card, claiming it was an ancient magical weapon, only available to people like her, and could help improve her cultivation. Butler Zhou now revered Chu Yun like a god and readily agreed.

The resource behind Butler Zhou is the Zhou Group, but it still took some effort to find it.

It was already the 30th day when I received the news from Butler Zhou, after the store had closed.

Chu Yun was having dinner with Xu Dongdong and Yu Wenhao. Butler Zhou had called to say he'd found the land prop card she'd been looking for, but the man said he needed to talk to her and that a pickup would be arriving soon. Chu Yun planned to expand her farm, but her current five mu was too small.

This person is called Song Ming. Before the game, he was a doctor. By chance, he obtained this land prop card. For him, saving lives is his mission and also his means of livelihood. However, after entering this game, his talents are unable to be fully utilized, and his life is extremely miserable.

It wasn't until he got this prop card that he saw a turning point. He cleverly realized that the game's purpose for this prop card was to facilitate interaction between communities. It sounds simple, but completing all five prop cards was incredibly difficult, especially for a weak doctor like him.

He's a skilled doctor, so he found a job as an intern at a hospital, earning 10,000 coins a month. Recently, a hot restaurant has become a global sensation. During his break, he listened to his colleagues discussing it until his ears were callused. He had a hunch that it was the work of players like him.

Yesterday, I heard from colleagues that the Zhou Group was looking for some land prop card, and there was a generous reward. He knew the relationship between the small restaurant and the Zhou Group. This prop card was only known to the players, so he guessed that someone from the restaurant wanted it.

So, here he comes.

"I want a batch of medicine and an automatic medicine dispenser. Please pack them for me in a space folding backpack." Song Ming went straight to the point and handed over a list.

Chu Yun didn't understand, so he passed it to Butler Zhou.

Butler Zhou took the list, held it in his hand and pondered it carefully, without saying a word for a long time.

The medicine and the folding space backpack were perfectly fine, but the automatic dispensing device wasn't for sale, so we needed to discuss it with the medical device company, but that wasn't a big deal. But this man had a really big appetite; an automatic dispensing device must have cost at least 1 million coins, and it was the kind that was out of stock.

Butler Zhou glanced at Chu Yun. She was determined to get it. It seemed that this prop card was very important to her. Chu Yun was the great benefactor of their family and the whole world. He would do everything he could to help her.

Seeing the other party frown as he looked at the list, Song Ming's heart was pounding, fearing that the other party would not agree. He had looked into the automatic dispensing machine before. As long as he had the materials and set the parameters, he could extract the desired potion. He had been coveting this for a long time, but firstly, the price was high, and secondly, there was no way to get in. Perhaps he really was expecting too much.

Butler Zhou went out to make a call, and when he came back he said to the nervous Song Ming, "Okay, but we need to give us a few days."

"Okay, okay, a few days will be no problem." Song Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

The deal was done, and the few people agreed that the money would be paid and the goods would be delivered to them after the day.

To express his gratitude to the Zhou Group, Chu Yun also sent them a batch of seeds. The Zhou Group had plenty of land, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to open up a plot of land and plant the seeds themselves. Butler Zhou, after consulting with the old man, accepted the gift with satisfaction. Their family would be the first, after the laboratory, to have its own plant cultivation.
