These foods have a long shelf life, some lasting a year or two, and are easy to prepare. Some are even ready to eat straight from the bag. In short, they're incredibly good.

When paying inside, there's something that can automatically calculate how much you've spent. Once you've taken your items, you can't leave the store without paying; you're blocked by a transparent protective film. The store is also brightly lit, much brighter than candlelight.

There were also fried food shops, milk tea shops, dessert shops..." Before the man could finish speaking, the customer had already thanked him impatiently and rushed into the hotel.

"Oh dear, I haven't finished speaking yet..." The man reached out Er Kang's hand but couldn't grab the person.

This customer was quite clever; he initially questioned the owner of the Wonderful Series store because he knew nothing about it.

But even with just a half-explanation from the man, the businessman sensed a strong business opportunity. Seeing many people heading into the hotel, the businessman acted swiftly, squeezing his way into the grand hotel from the back.

The hotel lobby lights were all on, making it incredibly bright. There was already quite a line at the front desk, mostly business travelers and people stopping by Qingshan City for a rest.

A small number of wealthy locals wanted to experience the wonders of this extraordinary hotel. Rooms were limited, and given the grand opening, only a select few were able to secure a room.

Even the slightly overweight merchant managed to snag a standard room. A standard room costs 20 taels a day, including three meals. Meals can only be eaten in the restaurant; takeout is not allowed, and food waste will result in a fine.

Those who managed to snag a room received their room keys and followed the staff to their respective rooms. Each guest was deeply impressed upon entering their room.

What an amazing place! Every room has solar-powered lights, and you can just turn on the tap to get hot water, with adjustable temperature. No more carrying buckets of hot water!

The sink has a direct tap for water, and the mirror is huge, so you can see your face clearly, even your pores.

The vanity has a small box containing a toothbrush, disposable toothpaste, a small bar of soap, a lightweight wooden comb, shampoo, body wash, and even a travel set of toner, lotion, and facial cleanser.

The small sofa in the room was very comfortable. Drinks and fruit tea were laid out on the small coffee table, all of which were delicious. The large bed was soft and springy, and the bedding had a refreshing fragrance.

The slightly overweight businessman took a good shower and prepared to try the so-called buffet at the restaurant. The breakfast was surprisingly lavish, and many chairs were full.

Some wealthy people brought their children to experience it. In front of the children were several warm, animal-shaped sandwich buns, a small bowl of shrimp and egg custard, a small serving of milk, and a sausage.

In front of the wealthy man were several plates of various small portions of food. A bowl of three-delicacy wontons was served. The child ate with a big, happy mouthful, while the wealthy man, a complete glutton, kept his head down and didn't even look up once.

The businessmen quickly found seats, took their plates and room cards to choose breakfast, and cleverly took only a tiny portion of everything. Because there was so much variety, they ate quite a bit of everything, their stomachs were round and full. They thought to themselves, "Just for this breakfast, lunch and dinner will definitely be good. This money was well spent!" After eating and drinking their fill, they let out a burp. Back in their room, they sat on the small sofa and began to plan their trip to Qingshan Town.

Over here, Wang Simeng saw the bustling scene at the opening and felt a great sense of accomplishment. Lying in bed, she sighed, "Life is so wonderful~"

As the day went by, the wonders of the Wonderful Hotel spread even further.

Qingshan City is the first prefecture city on the border, and the reputation of the Wonderful Series shops has even reached the ears of the prefect.

The prefect was named Wang Jianye. He could have easily served as an official in the capital, but he insisted on going to a remote area to do practical things for the people. The prosperity of Qingshan Prefecture owed much to Prefect Wang's efforts. Prefect Wang was always praised as a good official by the people.

Upon hearing that the wondrous shop had opened in the prefectural city, Prefect Wang inquired further about its special features. He immediately dispatched a messenger to deliver a memorial to the Emperor. At the same time, he sent his wife and daughter, along with their maids and servants, to experience the shop's wonders.

The next day, after having breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the merchants got up early to check out and prepare to head to Qingshan Town. Some of the local merchants weren't fools either; they checked out some rooms and hurriedly made their way to Qingshan Town as well.

Prefect Wang's wife was named Zhou Yuewen. They had two sons and a daughter. Their eldest son, Wang Qingwen, was 18 years old and already a scholar (xiucai), currently studying at Qingshan Academy. Their younger daughter, Wang Ling'er, was 15 years old. Their youngest son, Wang Muwen, was 5 years old. Prefect Wang named his children with the meaning of "admiring and cherishing," demonstrating the deep love he had for his wife.

Madam Wang and Wang Ling'er arrived at the inn and luckily there were rooms available; they even managed to choose a deluxe room on the third floor. They followed the waiter to the deluxe room on the third floor.

Two masters, two maids, and two old women—six people in total. They chose two adjacent luxury suites.

Madam Wang, accompanied by a maid and a servant, stayed in a luxury suite. Wang Ling'er, with a maid and a servant, stayed in another luxury suite. The two women looked at two luxury suites together. Each suite cost 30 taels of silver, and the two suites had different styles: one was in an ancient style, and the other was in a modern minimalist style. Wang Ling'er chose the novel modern minimalist style suite.
