Chen Danian and Chen Yaozu were worried about going to school, but Gan Li had already put that aside after hearing about it that day and was busy preparing for the opening of the new store.
Speaking of opening a business... to tell a hellish joke, Ganli feels she's quite adept at it.
After all, that restaurant near the dock had only opened twice before.
This third time, she was quite adept at it, and the rest of the Gan family were no longer as nervous as before.
However, there are still some differences. After all, the place is much bigger than before, and there are many more things to do.
The most critical issue is manpower.
With a larger venue, the daily customer flow will definitely be more than before. The staff for serving food outside and other odd jobs have already been arranged, and they are being trained intensively by Granny Gan and others, so there is no need to worry.
But Ganli suddenly realized an important problem: there weren't enough people in the kitchen!
In the past, in the small eatery, there was only one real head chef, Old Man Gan. At that time, the eatery was still small, and it was already considered a struggle.
Now that we're here, the small eatery has become a large restaurant, and we'll be serving even more customers than before. If it's still just Old Man Gan cooking, it definitely won't be enough.
Gan Li thought it would be better to let her eldest brother, Gan Mingli, take over, but Old Man Gan didn't quite agree:
"Although this kid has been learning from me for a few years, he hasn't mastered the craft yet. I'm afraid the customers won't be satisfied with his cooking!"
Gan Mingli, however, was not convinced and rolled up his sleeves to cook a dish for his sister to try.
After tasting it, Ganli said, "Please, Dad, work hard for a little longer..."
Gan Mingli: "..." Not very harmful, but extremely insulting.
Despite her brother's hurt gaze, Ganli had no heart to comfort him; she was preoccupied with worrying about the manpower shortage in the kitchen.
Actually, the best solution seemed to be to hire a chef from outside, but she rejected the idea as soon as it came to mind.
The fact that she has a space supermarket is no secret within her family, but it is not to be revealed to outsiders.
If there are outsiders in the kitchen, especially chefs who are very familiar with the ingredients, they can easily discover that the meat used here is different from that used elsewhere, which may cause some trouble.
Just when she was at her wit's end, she suddenly remembered something.
When Maria lured him into accepting the Peach quest, she mentioned that completing the quest would reward him with merit points and a cooking gift pack...
Her eyes lit up, and she quickly hid back in her room before flashing into her spatial dimension to summon Maria to inquire about the matter.
Maria frowned, thought for a moment, and retorted:
[How did you remember that? I clearly said a mystery gift package! A mystery gift package sounds way more sophisticated than a cooking gift package, okay?]
Ganli doesn't care about class or quality; her top priority right now is to find a trustworthy cook who can cook delicious food.
[I'm not interested in any mysterious gift packages, but if there were a gift package that could instantly improve one's cooking skills, my motivation to complete the task might increase dramatically!]
As she spoke, she frantically winked at Maria.
Maria was speechless at Ganli's shrewd business acumen and was about to make a joke when a sudden inspiration struck her. She looked at Ganli's greedy face and fell into deep thought.
Since losing the bet last time, it has been in a very passive situation - according to the bet, Ganli won and can freely choose whether or not to accept tasks in the future.
In other words, whether or not Ganli accepts tasks from now on depends entirely on her mood; even if she doesn't, there's nothing that can be done about it. And even if she accepts a task, if she's not in a hurry to do it, there's no way to urge her.
How do you urge them? If you push too hard, they might just abandon the task! What can you do?
There's nothing we can do!
Maria belatedly realized what was happening and was filled with remorse!
Even if Gan Li doesn't do any missions, she can live a good life relying on the supplies available in the supermarket and her ability to earn money in the real world.
But Maria is different. If the host refuses to do the tasks, won't it be at the bottom when the System Planning Bureau compiles the performance statistics in the future?
Making a bet is fun in the moment, but it brings tears later... Now that things have come to this, Maria can only rack her brains to think of ways to make amends and see how she can urge the task team to do more tasks.
However, after racking its brains for many days, it still had no clue!
But just now, it suddenly had a flash of inspiration—it could be used to lure people with money!
Maria, who had been listless, suddenly perked up, staring intently at Ganley, and asked:
[Host, you mean if the reward is a culinary gift pack, you'd be willing to complete the task immediately?]
When Ganli saw that Maria had indeed taken the bait, she felt that it was harder to suppress the corners of her mouth than AK could. However, in order to gain more benefits in the future, she tried her best to suppress the upward corners of her mouth and nodded indifferently.
Maria didn't see the sly smile in the human's eyes. She was convinced that her thinking was correct. When dealing with Ganli, force wouldn't work; she had to use bribery!
It felt it had mastered the instructions for using the sweet pear, and nodded vigorously, saying:
【What's so difficult about that? I agreed! And not just this time, but in the future too. If you complete the tasks properly, whatever reward you want, as long as it's not too outrageous, we can discuss it!】
Upon hearing this, Ganli secretly burst into laughter.
Actually, she wasn't against doing tasks before, but the system's punishment mechanism made her feel like a puppet being controlled, which naturally made her unhappy.
But things are different now. Since Maria lost last time, that only obstacle is gone, so she is naturally willing to continue cooperating with Maria.
You can have whatever you want, isn't that awesome?
Putting everything else aside, she'd like to order a few more cooking gift packs so she won't have to worry about not having enough chefs anymore.
However, although she was overjoyed inside, she pretended to be reluctant on the surface, with her brows furrowed.
Seeing this, Maria became anxious and tried every possible way to persuade them!
Seeing that things were about right, Ganli finally relented:
"Fine, considering we've known each other for so long, I'll reluctantly agree."
Maria breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she had finally agreed, but fearing that she might change her mind, she urged her to complete the task of Gan Tao.
"Don't rush me!" Gan Li remarked, revealing, "Actually, I already have an idea."
"What idea?" Maria's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she thought to herself, "Money really can make the devil turn the millstone. This task has been dragging on for so long and still can't be resolved."
Now that the benefits have been offered, a solution will be found!
Looking at its darting eyes, Ganli knew that the plump lychee was definitely complaining about itself in its heart. She swallowed the words that were about to come out and deliberately kept it a secret.
[Keep this confidential!]
