Summer limited seaside shop
Inside the beach cabin.
[The customer's troubles have been solved and their mood has been greatly improved! 】
[Mood value +200]
[Heat value +20]
Shu Mo, who was busy, raised his head and a question mark appeared on his head.
Customer troubles? What's worrying? Who solved it?
……I?
She looked at the empty shop and felt like she was seeing a ghost in broad daylight.
Not understanding what was going on, Shu Mo was confused for a while, but then he stopped worrying about it and happily deposited the points that fell from the sky into his account.
Thank God for the gift (doge)
After collecting 20 points of heat value at one time, Shu Mo was finally sure that his previous feelings were not an illusion. The indoor temperature dropped again, and the moment I stepped out of the door, I could clearly feel the temperature difference.
After suffocating in the hot wind for two seconds, she resigned herself to her fate and lowered her head to go back to the task at hand.
——There were too few items available for purchase in the mall, so Shu Mo simply continued to renovate the cabin.
Because of the 150 mood points that fell from the sky, she had a lot more money and finally added wooden shelves to the store.
Then, he grunted and brought in a bench and placed it on the side of the wall against the outdoor platform.
Until I save enough money to buy a parasol, the protruding eaves can help block some of the sunlight.
Guests can sit here leisurely, enjoy the sea breeze and drink the soda in their hands without having to sit on the edge of the platform.
The road leading to the shop was not easy to walk on. She had just asked Mo Bai and Mimic to sweep away the dead branches and leaves blocking the door, revealing the bare dirt road underneath.
Even so, if you're not careful when walking, you might be tripped by rocks sticking out from the ground.
The road is so difficult to travel on...it will be inconvenient for guests to come here.
Even though Shu Mo knew that for a small town like Bauhinia Town, it would be great if there was a grocery store selling supplies that were not available in the game, the residents would still come no matter what difficulties they had to overcome. But she still hopes that ordinary players can have an easier time along the way.
Shu Mo paved a winding path with snow-white pebbles in front of the wooden house.
After walking for a while, the road forks at the end, one leading to the main road where residents go out, and the other leading directly to the beach below.
Finally, a signpost was erected at the fork in the road as a landmark to help first-time customers find the store.
…
Shu Mo went in and out like a hardworking little bee. Looking at the furniture that was added bit by bit, he found that he had found the joy of slowly accumulating wealth in the beginning of the game again.
After the transformation was completed, I still had 50 points left, and the sun above my head gradually tilted towards the west without me noticing.
The scorching afternoon air is gone and a comfortable breeze is flowing.
Shu Mo returned to the store and through the glass, he just happened to see a few figures walking back along the beach below.
As soon as Gu Xiao entered the room, he exclaimed, "Why does it feel like it's cooler inside the house than outside?"
"It's not an illusion, it really is cooler." Liu Xueruo closed her eyes and felt it, then said affirmatively.
It was hard to explain, so Shu Mo simply skipped the topic and asked, "What did you all do when you went out just now?"
When this was mentioned, Gu Xiao immediately became interested and said excitedly: "We picked up a lot of things at the beach. Let's have seafood tonight?"
As she was talking, Yao Yonghui beside her handed her a bucket, which was indeed filled with all kinds of seafood. The most numerous are clams of various colors and sizes, and there are even a few extremely large oysters on top.
They didn't have much equipment, so they could only maximize the use of space. A few thick strands of kelp hung on the edge of the barrel, and a fresh smell of sea water rushed into their nostrils.
Shu Mo swallowed silently.
Turning around again, there were a few small fish in the small red bucket in Gu Xiao's hand. They were shaking their heads and tails and spitting bubbles in the shallow sea water.
The game is over and the sea is the first part to come back to life. There is only one small town called Bauhinia near the seaside, and the seafood that can be consumed is limited. If they just walk along a stretch of beach after the tide has receded, they can see densely packed seafood, the quantity of which is enough to make anyone who goes to the beach ecstatic.
Several people returned with full loads. Liu Yan smiled and said, "There are so many, enough for everyone to have a good meal. I'll take these and process them first."
The clams need to be soaked in sea water to spit out the sand, and the kelp needs to be cleaned and shredded. She will be busy in a while.
But looking at the heavy bucket of seafood, everyone's hearts were filled with joy of the harvest, and this little bit of busyness was nothing.
Shu Mo looked at their expectant expressions and couldn't bear to throw cold water on them. He said in embarrassment: "But there is no kitchen here."
They were probably worried that she would move furniture from the hot spring into the seaside shop, so the shop, as an independently operated second store, could not display the goods purchased in the first mall, such as shelves, benches, etc.
There is a small lock hanging on the mall, and the page is completely gray, leaving no room for cheating.
In addition, there are no pots and kitchen utensils for sale in the mall of the doomsday game, so how are they going to cook this meal?
"This isn't difficult." Yao Yonghui thought for a moment. "There's a lot of firewood and stones in the woods nearby. I can find a way to build a stove and a barbecue grill, and then I can use it."
"As for the seasoning, I just happen to have quite a bit in my bag."
Like a magician, he pulled out a dozen bottles and jars from his backpack, instantly filling up the empty space on the cash register, with everything from oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, sugar, oyster sauce, pepper, chili sauce, mustard sauce, and honey.
Shu Mo: “…”
You are worthy of it.
Is this like moving the condiment section of the fresh food supermarket back home?
Thinking back to the reason why Yao Yonghui came to work in the hot spring, she felt that a year had passed and Brother Yao was still the same... he never forgot his original intention.
When it comes to eating, I become full of energy.
Yao Yonghui solved the problem of having no kitchen and seasonings by himself, while the task of making fire was left to Mo Bai, the only student present who was not afraid of heat.
After happily finalizing the division of labor, everyone took on their respective tasks, some collected firewood, some built stoves. Only Gu Xiao and Liu Xueruo were left in the hall, just in time to help Shu Mo tidy up the shop.
Outside the window, the sky is clear and blue, the sea is vast, and in the woods not far away, the rustling sound of wind blowing through the treetops can be heard.
Doing some simple work slowly and leisurely in such an environment seems to calm my mood slowly.

After the hottest time of the day, the townspeople finally came out of their homes and gathered in groups of three or four.
Chat with your neighbors, complain about the damn weather, and share the latest gossip.
For example, someone in someone's family fell ill again, and the family was busy taking care of him all day, but the high fever did not subside; or someone else fainted in the woods due to heatstroke while chopping wood outside, but was fortunately discovered in time by a passing villager...
People talked and sighed worriedly.
The scorching heat is coming with full force. Many people in the town have collapsed and can only rely on medicine to stay alive. Although the rest of the residents were able to move around, they also suffered from varying degrees of discomfort.
If the whole town falls down, who will take care of those who are sick?
Everyone has hidden worries like these in their hearts, and a feeling of unease is spreading in the town.
In the midst of this anxiety, Yangyang's mother suddenly appeared with a happy look on her face.
Everyone knew that she sighed for as many days as her eldest daughter was sick. Several neighbors exchanged doubtful glances, and one of the ladies couldn't help but call out to her, "Xiao Zhong, you look so good, could it be that Jia Jia's illness has improved?"
Zhong Xue turned her head, unable to hide the smile on her face, "Yeah, I can finally eat."
Yangyang walked beside her, burped, and rubbed his stomach with a worried look, "Mom, I'm so full."
The neighbors were even more surprised.
During this period, who is not worried about their children’s feeding problem? Not to mention children, even adults have no appetite.
As for those residents who suffered from heatstroke, they couldn't even eat a single bite. I don't know if it was the negative impact of the unknown game effect.
They gathered around and asked Zhong Xue for the secret recipe.
Zhong Xue scratched her head. "Nothing special. Just ordinary canned food with a bowl of vegetable soup. Oh, yes, some dried shrimps were added to the soup."
After discovering small fish and shrimps on the beach, residents would usually pick up some seafood, dry them, and keep them for later consumption. Compared to inland cities, this may be the only advantage of living by the sea.
The neighbors nodded as they listened. The dishes on every household’s table are basically the same, with nothing new to offer.
"Then what?"
“…No more?”
Zhong Xue racked her brains, "Oh, yes, I ate the candy that Yangyang brought back before dinner."
Although candy was rare, she did not associate it with her daughter's improvement in condition. She just thought that Jia Jia's mouth had no taste after being sick for so many days, and suddenly she tasted something with different flavors, which stimulated her appetite.
Now that she thought about it carefully, Zhong Xue realized that something was wrong.
Jiajia is sick, but Yangyang has been full of energy. How come he ate more today?
She couldn't help but turn her gaze to her youngest daughter.
Yangyang touched her belly and noticed her mother's gaze. She raised her head and Zhong Xue took the opportunity to ask.
"Uh." Yangyang blinked her big eyes, "I don't know... I just felt that after drinking that bottle of soda, I suddenly didn't feel that hot anymore."
After drinking the icy cold soda, the lingering heat since the beginning of summer was swept away, and my appetite miraculously improved.
If Shu Mo were here, he would probably be able to figure it out in no time——
What Yangyang described, isn’t it the process of “heat value” dropping from the customers?
"You also drank soda?" Zhong Xue suddenly realized, "So, your appetite improved because of the food from that store..."
I touched my daughter's forehead again and the skin under my hand was dry and slightly cool, and she felt refreshed - could these also be the effects of soda?
This is amazing.
Zhong Xue groaned, "Could those things have the effect of cooling down the body?"
The neighbors were confused at first, but now they caught the key words and their eyes lit up.
Cool off!
The neighbor lady was startled, "Yangyang, where did you buy the candy and soda you mentioned?"
Yangyang was confused for a moment.
They had discovered the secret base a long time ago and had hidden it for a long time without telling the adults. Do you want to say it?
But……
But the boss treated them to soda.
Yangyang hesitated for a while, but finally reached out his hand honestly, "It's right by the sea. There used to be a small wooden house, but now it's turned into a small shop."
"The big sister inside is so nice," she added.
Before he finished speaking, the crowd in front of him had already swarmed out of the town.
Didn’t you hear what Yangyang said just now? The grocery store that sells miraculous medicines is actually the abandoned cabin on the beach.
Almost everyone in the town knew about the existence of the wooden house, but it was such a shabby house with such a small area that even if it was converted into a store, how much could it store?
If you go too late, they might be sold out, so of course you have to hurry.
Everyone has a few people in their family who have fallen ill from heat stroke, and cooling foods are what they need most at this moment.
In just a few seconds, there was no one in front of the mother and daughter.
Yangyang looked confused, "I haven't shown you the way yet, do the uncles and aunts know how to get there?"
...Where is the secret base you promised?
Zhong Xue: “…”

In the store, Shu Mo squatted beside the gashapon machine in distress.
[I won the "Mung Bean and Milk Smoothie"! 】
[The product has been unlocked and can be purchased in the mall. 】
[Obtain special goods, the related facility [Sugar Stand] has been unlocked! 】
Judging from the thumbnail, the sweet soup stall is just a small cart with insulated ice buckets piled on top and a checkered cloth underneath, with the words "Sweet Soup Stall" written on the side in cute candy-colored fonts.
Compared with the mobile stalls in the past, it now has the function of keeping food cold and allows for the addition of small ingredients, such as candied beans, condensed milk, grass jelly, etc.
The only drawback is that the stalls are not free, but require mood points to unlock.
Shu Mo stared at the 500-point price tag: "..."
If I had known this, I wouldn’t have used my mood points to repair the road.
Just as she was beating her chest and stamping her feet, a faint noise was heard outside the door.
"This should be it, right?"
"There are also road signs for guidance, which is very thoughtful."
"Look at this path, it's paved so finely!" someone seemed to exclaim.
Some people even exclaimed, "Is this really the 'haunted house'? When did it become like this?"
The clean and bright cabin stands under the blue sky, blending seamlessly into the surrounding scenery. The cobblestone paths are colorful, and it doesn't look like the old house that the residents had previously avoided.
Shu Mo opened the door and happened to see a large group of people walking towards him, pointing around in curiosity as they walked.
Shu Mo: “?”
Who brought a tour group here?
Where do so many people come from? ?
