Chapter 24: The boss has bad luck
While Zhou Dongmeng was squatting beside Chen Xiang's bed like a koala, she was busy running around in the hot pot restaurant without touching the ground.
All five tables in the hall were occupied.
Not only that, there were also many customers queuing up at the number-taking area at the entrance of Hotpot City.
After Chen Xiang saw off one wave of customers, a new wave immediately arrived. She had to clean the table as soon as possible and help the diners order their food.
After placing the order, you have to go into the kitchen to prepare the soup base and side dishes.
At the same time, we have to take care of the guests at other tables.
Chen Xiang: …
She wanted so badly to just grit her teeth and stomp her feet and directly hire a lobby waiter!
But when I think about the fact that it costs 5,000 gold coins to hire a waiter, but only 2,500 gold coins to buy five tables and upgrade one star.
Just be busy, just consider it as losing weight!
With her perseverance, Chen Xiang managed to entertain all the customers well by herself.
After seven hours of operation.
The number of customers gradually decreased and not many customers came into the store.
Taking advantage of her free time, Chen Xiang ran to the cashier panel, opened her account to check the balance. When she saw the numbers clearly, she was really shocked!
No way!
Has she already saved 10,000 gold coins?
Chen Xiang was a little hesitant, thinking that she was too busy and dizzy and saw a few extra zeros.
She quickly raised her hand to rub her eyes, and looked again -
One, ten, hundred, thousand... million! ?
There were actually five-digit gold coins quietly lying in the account...
10225!
10225 ah!
One hundred and two hundred and twenty-five!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Chen Xiang was so happy that she was dancing at the cashier counter. After the excitement died down, she quickly opened the panel mall and bought five entry-level tables and chairs in one go.
As soon as the tables and chairs were delivered and placed in the hall, the overall decoration of the hot pot restaurant suddenly became brighter.
At the same time, celebratory music sounded in the hall.
Chen Xiang tapped her toes to the rhythm of the cheerful music and was extremely happy!
After a piece of music.
A sweet voice rang out from the panel: [Congratulations, boss, you have successfully upgraded the Hot Pot City to one star]
[Everything is difficult at the beginning, but it is a piece of cake for the boss! You are awesome, boss! I support you! Now that the trial operation goal has been successfully completed, the space has prepared an upgrade reward for the boss. Please go to the panel to claim it.]
Chen Xiang's eyebrows moved slightly: ...
Are there any upgrade rewards?
The smile on her face deepened, and she returned to the cashier counter. When she woke up the panel, a window popped up to claim the reward.
After clicking in, the rewards inside are——
5,000 gold coins, a new pot base, and... 1ML of nutrient solution!
Chen Xiang's expression changed slightly. She didn't expect that the reward for upgrading one star would include nutrient solution. So, could she take it away when she left the space this time?
To be honest, she was really looking forward to it!
I want to see if the nutrient solution worth 100,000 gold coins is as magical as the rumors say!
Chen Xiang bit her lip and accepted the reward.
Panel: [You have received it successfully, Boss. From today on, the trial operation of Hot Pot City has ended and the business mode has officially started. Click on the task page to view the tasks that need to be completed.]
Chen Xiang followed the instructions on the panel and indeed found the word "mission" next to the mall.
She clicked on it and took a look.
Basically, they are some tasks like "complete recruitment, complete facility upgrades".
Each task has a corresponding reward.
Chen Xiang saw this and nodded in understanding. It turned out that the hot pot city was on trial operation these days...
Having said that, it’s different when it’s officially open for business!
Even the benefits have been upgraded.
There was no such reward in the previous times!
Panel: [Boss Note: You can only start the next task after completing a task. In addition, the boss's ultimate goal is to upgrade the star level of the hot pot city]
[The higher the star level, the higher the profit of the hot pot city, the richer the rewards, and it will also improve the boss's luck~]
Chen Xiang: Luck?
What does this mean?
The panel laughed like a silver bell: [The better the hot pot city is run, the better the boss's luck will be. In the past, he would fall down when walking, fall into the manhole, get into car accidents, and get seriously ill. It was all because the boss's luck was too bad.]
Chen Xiang understood.
"If your luck improves, you will meet noble people when you go out, succeed in everything, and live a long life?"
Panel: [Yes]
Chen Xiang thought about it, so the reason why she lived like that in her previous life...
Is it all because of her bad luck?
Seeing that she didn't say anything, the panel continued: [Now, please give the hot pot restaurant a name.]
She collected her thoughts and suddenly realized...
Yes, Hot Pot City doesn’t have a name yet!
Chen Xiang half-pursed her red lips, touched her chin with one hand, thought seriously for a while, and finally typed a line of words in the panel -
Black shop.
panel:【……】
[Boss, are you sure? ]
Chen Xiang nodded heavily: "Sure."
panel:【……】
…
After everything was done, Chen Xiang came out of the space.
She lay on the bed and glanced out the window. It was still grey before dawn.
Chen Xiang turned over and subconsciously looked in the direction of the straw mat.
Just like yesterday, the straw mat was gone, Zhou Dongmeng was gone too, and the two quilts that were thrown to him last night were now back on her.
Chen Xiang hugged the quilt and rubbed the soft quilt cover with her cheek.
Feeling the warmth above.
She curled the corners of her lips, and a dimple appeared on her round cheek.
Then he snorted and thought to himself, he finally knows how to do something...
Suddenly, a smear of white filled Chen Xiang's eyes. She was startled and turned her head to look. Only then did she find a frostbite ointment and a box of...
Hand oil?
Chen Xiang sat up, hugged the quilt, took the box of hand oil in her hand, and examined it carefully.
The appearance of the hand oil is just a round iron box with peony flowers of various colors painted on it. The clusters of flowers look very festive.
On the iron cover there are four characters like flying dragons and dancing phoenixes:
A riot of colour.
Chen Xiang looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar thing in her hand and couldn't help but sigh. This brand of hand oil is particularly popular in this era.
Every household has one or two boxes.
But later, with the growth of the cosmetics industry, this kind of hand oil gradually withdrew from the market. However, after using this brand, Chen Xiang has never found a hand oil better than this one.
Just like her and Zhou Dongmeng.
If you miss Zhou Dongmeng, you will never meet the best person again...
Chen Xiang lowered her eyes and looked at the ointment and hand oil in her hands. Her nose felt sore and she wanted to cry. She wished she could pull Zhou Dong over and give him a good beating.
It's all his fault!
It made her cry early in the morning...
