Chapter 114
There are only a few steps to boil eggs. The difference between the quality of the finished products lies only in the heat and the boiling time. If you want to follow them perfectly, it depends more on luck.
Everyone soon discovered that the mentor's knowledge was of very low quality, and they sighed in disappointment and dispersed.
Instead of taking the time to listen to his lectures, you might as well collect some materials on your own and try more things!
Who knows, one day they will be able to make a dish of “fine” quality, show it off, and feel very proud.
Many people secretly thought: If they made a delicious dish, they would definitely not be willing to eat it.
Keeping it in your backpack is like having a medal that you can take out and show off at any time.
But, when will it be successfully produced?
Having not cooked for ten years, most people's cooking skills have deteriorated to the point where the kitchen is about to explode. Not only are there endless dark dishes being served, but also several fires were almost caused due to the active attempts of the players during this period.
Shu Mo: “…”
This is an extreme cold weather! What kind of little geniuses are these novice cooking players who can even start a fire?
After rushing to put out several fires, she set up an emergency response team overnight, recruited several mage players who specialized in water spells as volunteers, and patrolled the park in exchange for supplies.
Because every time you patrol, you can randomly harvest some potatoes, tomatoes, etc., there are quite a few players who come to sign up.
Finally Shu Mo had no choice but to limit the number of people on each patrol.
Each team consists of two people, who change shifts every half a day, and have successfully prevented many accidents in the bud.
Often, before the fire has time to spread, a column of water will fall from the sky and extinguish the embers along with it.
The water magicians were all very excited. "I've been learning water magic for ten years, but I've never put out a fire!"
Shu Mo was listening nearby and always felt a little sorry for it.
So I quietly put an extra potato in their volunteer bags.
The fact that she was forced to set up such a patrol team was enough to show how enthusiastic everyone was.
Soon, four more barbecue stoves were added to the camping area, and the blacksmiths received a flood of orders for custom-made pots, spatulas, bowls and chopsticks, etc. The forging furnaces were running at full power, working day and night.
Even so, demand still outstrips supply.
After all this effort, players have actually tried out some innovative dishes.
Once a recipe is tried out, the dish becomes replicable, and anyone can follow the steps above to complete a dish step by step.
Therefore, many players who are good at cooking and have unlocked the recipes first have begun to think about selling them.
At the beginning, only some residents in the homestay area set up small stalls in front of their homes.
These players who live in the homestay area have stoves at home, so they don’t need to go to the camping area and queue up with everyone to grab a spot, making it most convenient for them to conduct experiments.
Many of them are relatives and elders of elite players. Although they are talented, their own combat power is not high. They want to make some money to subsidize their families, so they simply use the ready-made courtyard to set up stalls.
"Selling the recipe, mix tomatoes with sugar, put them in the refrigerator or a cold environment for a while, the pickled juice will be sour and sweet, it can quench your thirst and satisfy your cravings, one tomato can make a bowl~"
"I'm selling the method of making tea eggs. You can make them with the tea leaves you buy at a teahouse. A few grams of tea leaves can make a dozen eggs. It's low-cost, delicious and not expensive!"
"I'm selling a recipe for preserved eggs. The only ingredients are eggs, tea leaves and salt. It's clean and hygienic."
At the beginning, there were only a few old men and women selling it.
I moved a small bamboo stool and sat in the yard, eating melon seeds and drinking tea. When I saw someone passing by, I would call out to them. For items priced at 3 or 5 points, whether they can be sold depends entirely on luck. There are very few customers, but the transaction rate is very high.
Later, younger players gradually discovered business opportunities.
Only a few people can cook. Most people just try randomly and end up wasting the hard-earned ingredients. Among the customers of fresh food supermarkets, there must be a great demand for recipes.
Once a recipe is created, there is almost no cost to sell it, and you will make a profit no matter how many you sell.
These people thought about it and ran to discuss it with the old men and women.
"Auntie, can I sell cookbooks here too?"
The one who came to discuss the matter was a girl in her twenties, dressed in a crescent-white priest robe. She looked very holy, but when it came to talking about business, she was very knowledgeable and eloquent.
"I'll give you 30 points a day to rent a small corner at your doorstep, is that okay?" she said. "Look, this place is yours anyway, so you don't have much to lose. I also have a friend who can help solicit customers in commercial streets and camping and leisure areas, so your business will be better."
In order to ensure fairness to merchants who pay to rent shops, Nuannuan Commercial Street does not allow players to set up stalls at will. If you are discovered, you will not be kicked out, but you will receive a reminder.
If you receive several reminders, you will be banned from entering the barrier.
This girl doesn't dare to take risks.
Although the restaurant's dining hours can also be promoted, recently with the addition of the treasure appraisal illustrations, more and more people are hawking their wares, which has begun to affect normal business, so Shu Mo has also begun to gradually manage it.
After much thought, the B&B area is the most suitable.
All it takes is the consent of the residents.
The old lady's expression was a little shaken when she heard this, and the girl continued, "If you trust me, I can help you sell the goods, so you don't have to wait here all day. And I promise not to disturb others. I won't sell goods after 7pm."
"Okay then." The aunt finally gave in.
You can get 30 points for free every day, which is equivalent to the daily income of many ordinary players.
As a price, she only had to pay a small corner of her front yard, which was really nothing.
The priest player breathed a sigh of relief, and went to discuss with several nearby neighbors, trading recipes for permission to sell things here.
The next day, she set up her stall.
The pastor, Lin Yue, and his friends made many small colored cards with pictures of different dishes on them to display as substitutes.
Because they are all young people and are well versed in promotional tactics, the promotional slogans changed on that day.
"Selling the recipe, tomato, egg and potato risotto, my mom asked me to set up a stall after eating it! 5 points for one portion, no cheating."
“The century egg and fish fillet porridge is so delicious that the kids next door are crying!”
"Selling the recipe for honey egg cake, follow the steps, even a novice can perfectly replicate the zero-failure dish!"
“How can workers eat quickly after returning from killing monsters? Super simple and quick dishes!”
"After eating it, the whole family agreed to include it in the New Year's Eve dinner menu..."
Lin Yue and his friends have a wide network of contacts, and on the opening day many people came to support them after hearing the news. Some people also stopped involuntarily after hearing the promotional slogan.
They gathered in front of the stall, lowered their heads, and looked through the "cartoon menu" spread on the table with great interest, and suddenly they felt like they were playing house when they were children.
A smile appeared on my face involuntarily.
"Hey, you know what, this risotto does look good."
"Preserved egg porridge, hey, I really miss this taste. When I was a child, I was sick and couldn't eat, so my grandma always made porridge for me... Boss, how much is this recipe?"
"Sugar-pickled tomatoes! I remember the juice from the pickling was really delicious. I used to drink it as a beverage."
"Why don't you buy one and try it? I made it last time, but it seems like the ratio of sugar was wrong, so it didn't produce any juice."
You can spend three or five dollars, save a tomato, and get a recipe with precise proportions, saving the time and cost of figuring out the recipe yourself (cooking a hot pot), so it's quite profitable.
Thinking of this, some players who were not good at cooking looked at the recipes on the table and suddenly had the urge to go all in.
——It is well known that one of the favorite things for cooking novices is to buy recipes.
No matter whether it can be made or not, just stockpile it first.
Before the Internet became popular, people bought cookbooks. Later, they browsed various websites and filled their bookmarks.
As for whether I will do it after collecting it...
That's another matter.
Because of this mentality, the recipe stall's business suddenly became hot.
Lin Yue was very busy, with a bright smile on her face, and she kept talking, "This risotto is very simple to make. Just pack a portion of rice from the restaurant. In addition, the same ingredients can be made into a topping for mixed noodles - do you want another mixed noodles recipe? I'll give you a discount if you buy two together, only 8 bucks."
"8 o'clock?" Thinking of the taste of tomato and egg noodles, the other party's stomach growled and nodded, "Then let's have them all."
"Okay." Lin Yue said happily, "Remember to follow the recipe instructions and make it strictly according to the amount. If it doesn't work, you can also ask a blacksmith to make a measuring cup..."
To the customer who wanted preserved egg and fish slice porridge, she changed the way she asked: "Hello, the raw material for this preserved egg and fish slice porridge is preserved eggs, but the method of making it is also very simple. Do you want to see how to make the preserved eggs? I sell two in a package, one for 8 yuan."
"Once the century egg is cooked, it is simply the best side dish to go with rice. You can finish a whole box of canned food with just half a century egg. It is definitely the best choice when you want to save money." She highly recommended it.
The man hesitated for a moment, and Lin Yue said, "And these are two recipes, which can unlock two locations in the atlas at once."
Although they have not yet discovered the use of the cooking encyclopedia, collecting encyclopedias is a player's nature.
The man agreed after thinking that he could collect one more dish by spending a few points.
【Payment received: 8 o'clock】
【Payment received: 8 o'clock】
The smile on Lin Yue's face got even bigger.
After such a busy day, she closed her stall on time at 7 o'clock in the evening and turned around to knock on the door of the B&B.
After a while, the aunt opened the door and asked, "Is it over?"
"Well, this is the 30 points I promised you." Lin Yue didn't rush to transfer the money, and calculated with her, "The two recipes you gave me, the preserved egg recipe, sold a total of 12 copies, some were sold individually, and some were sold together, a total of 55 points were earned."
"There is also the recipe for tea eggs. We sold 8 copies in total, which is 40 points in total. The total is 125 points."
Lin Yue initiated the transfer.
The aunt looked at the 125 points and was stunned for a long time. "...How can you sell so much?"
She originally just wanted to make a little money to supplement the family income, but who could have imagined that at the end of the day, her income would actually be over a hundred?
She looked up at the girl in front of her and suddenly realized that Lin Yue would earn more than her.
She was just helping me sell some, and she sold so much...
Auntie asked anxiously, "Are you coming tomorrow?"
"Come." Lin Yue smiled playfully, "You rent a seat for me, and I'll come."
Auntie was very excited. "Rent it, rent it, I will definitely rent it to you. By the way, don't leave in a hurry, I will make you another pot of tea."
"No, by the way, Auntie, since you are a resident of the B&B area, you should be able to order ingredients, right?" Lin Yue thought for a while, "If you have nothing to do at home, you can continue to develop recipes. Not many people know these recipes yet, so the sales are very good in a short period of time, but we can't stop players who have already bought them from teaching others, so it is estimated that it won't be long before the recipes on hand will be eliminated."
“The only way to continue making money is to keep coming up with new recipes,” she said.
Auntie nodded, "I see. I've just been thinking about this at home these few days. After I try out the recipe, I'll tell you how to make it. Can you help me sell it? You don't have to pay me for the stall fee."
Lin Yue proved her ability to make money, and at the end of the day, it was her aunt who was eager to keep her and even put forward some conditions for this.
"No need. Your recipes can give me a lot of inspiration. Let's maintain our current cooperation model." Lin Yue smiled.
For example, the preserved egg and fish fillet porridge is derived from my aunt’s method of making preserved eggs.
Seeing that some people made money through this, within a few days, several people started to follow suit.
There were more and more small stalls in the homestay area, and finally Shu Mo heard about it.
She took some time during the day to take a walk around and was shocked by the lively scene which was like a market.
I heard that someone had taken a fancy to the yard of the summoned beast hut and wanted to go and discuss it. Unfortunately, Mo Bai and the Mimic Beast had work during the day, and no one answered after knocking on the door several times. Those people had to give up with regret.
Shu Mo strolled in it, looking at the various recipes, and felt a little excited.
As the person with the most raw materials, Shu Mo is actually the one who has failed the most times.
There was no way around it. The number of attempts she had was simply far greater than that of other players.
She looks glamorous when she goes out every day, but in fact her backpack is filled with all kinds of black, indescribable food, which is a bit embarrassing to talk about.
Stopping in front of Lin Yue's stall, Shu Mo hesitated for a long time.
Lin Yue noticed her and was a little nervous, but still took the initiative to greet her: "Boss, would you like a recipe?"
Shu Mo sighed and said softly, "In theory, stalls are not allowed in the B&B area."
Because it will disturb other guests.
Even if Lin Yue has coordinated with everyone, there is no guarantee that some people will not reluctantly agree because they are "too embarrassed to refuse."
When Shu Mo rented out the house, one of the important promotional words was "quiet". Even the location of the homestay area was deliberately chosen to be some distance away from the commercial area.
Lin Yue uttered "ah" softly.
She had actually expected that she would be stopped one day, so she wasn't that surprised, just a little regretful.
However, she had been working hard to make money these days and had made a lot of money, which had exceeded her income in the wild for half a month in the past. Lin Yue felt that she should be satisfied, so she said, "Okay, I'll clean it up right away. I'm sorry to trouble you, boss..."
"but."
Shu Mo changed the subject.
Lin Yue stopped packing up his stall and looked at her in confusion.
Shu Mo's eyes curved, and he said with a smile: "You have inspired me. It just so happens that tomorrow is Sunday. You can take your stall and recipes to the lakeside leisure area to have a look. Remember to go early."
Lin Yue was a little confused.
But since the boss had spoken, out of trust in Shu Mo, she rushed to the lake as soon as the hotel opened the next day.
I saw that there was a fenced area on the original lawn, and at the entrance there was a simple sign made of bamboo poles with a banner with the words "Weekend Market" written on it.
Lin Yue was stunned.
She tried to walk into the entrance, and a reminder immediately popped up in front of her.
[The weekend market is not open yet, please be patient! 】
[Expected opening hours: 10:00 am to 5:00 pm]
[Stall requirements: Any player only needs to pay 100 points of stall fee to participate in stall setting, and the hotel will not charge any additional commission. 】
[[Click here to sign up]]
If every merchant on the commercial street is allowed to open only after undergoing Shu Mo's strict assessment to ensure their craftsmanship, then the main theme of the weekend market is "Anyone can set up a stall at any time as long as they are confident in their products." The degree of freedom is several times higher, and of course, the risk will also be higher.
We only charge merchants an entrance fee and do not take any additional commission, which is also to encourage players to set up stalls freely.
In the past, Shu Mo liked to go to bazaars and vegetable markets, which had a fresh urban atmosphere. The market in Guangming Town is also very interesting, but it is quite far away and inconvenient to travel. It would be better to move the market to Wenquan.
It is only held for one day on the weekend, which will not affect the ecology of businesses in the commercial street and can mobilize the enthusiasm of players.
Nowadays, Nuannuan Hot Spring has a fish grilling party on Saturdays and a weekend market on Sundays, and the activities are becoming more and more diverse.
Originally, because games disrupted normal social life, everyone's concept of the changing seasons and the passage of time has gradually become blurred, not to mention whether it is a weekday or a weekend.
In the doomsday, everyone is a self-employed freelancer. Where is the distinction between weekends and weekdays?
But after the fish barbecue party, players gradually began to adjust their schedules. Many people even deliberately avoided weekends when going out hunting, leaving some rest time to participate in this party.
Having a barbecue and chatting with many people, and having fun around the campfire at night, it seemed like I had regained some of the feeling of celebrating the weekend in the past.
Back at this time, Lin Yue stood at the entrance, not knowing what to say.
The booth fee of 100 points may seem a lot more expensive than renting a venue from an old lady - but this is an official event organized by Nuannuan Hot Spring.
She and her friends worked so hard to attract so few customers, but once the promotion of Nuannuan Hot Spring was spread, who knows how many people would take the initiative to come and participate! The amount of customer traffic that this official market can attract is simply not on the same level as her stall.
She has witnessed the grand occasion when every business in the commercial street opens.
Even if the market is only held one day a week, as long as she uses the rest of the time to develop menus, she may still be able to earn enough points for the week in that day.
Lin Yue secretly smacked his lips, feeling deeply moved.
The boss has clearly done me a big favor!
