Chapter 27 Full Introduction
The breakfast business hours of Renjian Restaurant are set from 7 to 9. Qi Huan prepares the goods the night before, and the quantity is small, so he doesn't have to get up too early. He can close the shop and hand it over to the robot bear and go to work at the unloading yard.
On the first day of trial operation, we only sold one Chunfeng steamed bun and one caramel toast.
When the store was closed in the morning, there were always people banging on the door before dawn, but when it was open, there was no one. Qi Huan was not in a hurry. First, he was just testing the waters and did not have high expectations. Second, it was already dawn when he opened the store, and the rotten egg rating board outside the door became particularly conspicuous. Those who could bear the hunger would probably want to change to another store.
The next day he deliberately opened the door and cooked a pot of braised pork bones and meat, using the aroma to "hook" passers-by. As expected, business was better, and he sold four bowls of braised pork bone noodles, two servings of mushroom meat noodles, two egg sandwiches, and a milkshake.
On the third day, five bowls of braised bone noodles, two servings of spring steamed buns, a bowl of crab roe noodles, a bowl of sesame paste noodles, and a serving of animal egg soup.
On the fourth day, zero.
By the time Qi Huan realized that the Cai Shi Festival base was closed for half a day, and most hunting teams would deliberately avoid this day when arranging their return journey, it was already half past eight.
If I had known this earlier, I would have had a good sleep. Qi Huan cried because of his own stupidity.
However, the good news is that his dietary supplement plan has begun to show results. Not only have his arms and thighs, which were originally like firewood sticks, grown some flesh, but his cheeks have also become whiter and rounder, and his appearance is becoming more and more like his previous life. After getting a good night's sleep in the past two days, he has become more energetic when he wakes up in the morning, and his whole face is radiant. He can even clearly feel that his strength and energy have increased. When he was dismantling the stone beast before, he could only move a small piece with one hand, but now he can directly hold half of it.
The Colored Stone Festival at the unloading yard only lasted half a day. Quan Hai drove Man Ge's old airship around half of the base, went to the food store and took a trip with Hong Guang, picked up Qi Huan and Rondo, and the three brothers happily ran to the command hall.
Rondo said he had prepared the food and invited the two to have a meal together after surfing the Internet. Calculating the time, Qi Huan ordered a five-hour meal. If it was longer, he was afraid that everyone would not be able to hold on.
After lying in the game cabin, they soon came to the square where the crystal square monument stood. The three of them met each other. Qi Huan didn't need them to accompany him, so Quan Hai and Rondo went to the arena and game live broadcast that they were interested in.
The food channel is still ranked in the top ten in the live broadcast street and is not very popular.
The food live broadcast room ranked first this time was called Silver Knife Family. As soon as Qi Huan entered, he saw a black-haired young man standing by the kitchen counter, cutting fruit.
The young man tied his hair into a bun, and wore a two-finger-wide black gauze headband in front of his forehead to gather all the loose hair, making him look fresh and handsome.
The blade of the kitchen knife in his hand was wider than an ordinary mulberry knife, similar to the large blade in Qi Huan's impression. The upper part of the blade was dark in color and covered with irregular hammer-stacked patterns, while the lower part had a wide blade. The sharp blade tapped on the chopping board in a fast and brisk rhythm, and the light green fruit shreds cut out were uniform, narrow and thin, as thin as a hair, and the knife skills were extremely exquisite.
There are many colorful fruits on the left side of the kitchen counter, and on the right side is a white porcelain plate that is twice larger than the chopping board. On the plate is a semi-finished flower and bird painting. The plum blossoms are gorgeous, and a beautiful bird is coming against the wind, its claws lightly stepping on the plum branches, and its wings are half-spread, about to be folded.
The flowers, plum branches, and birds are all made up of fruits of various colors. They are brightly colored and have lively postures. The bird still has half of its wing left unfinished.
The young man cut the fruit into shreds and began to place them on the plate, while introducing the dish, saying that this dish was called "Joy on the Eyebrows" and that he was currently completing the flight feathers of a bird's wing.
Viewing dishes are a special category of dishes. As the name suggests, they are mainly used for viewing, and what they pursue is naturally visual beauty.
Qi Huan had come across quite a few dishes in ancient books before, which can be roughly divided into two categories. One is three-dimensional shapes, such as the famous "Steamed Vegetable Sounds" in the Burning Tail Banquet, which uses a method similar to dough modeling to create seventy lifelike Penglai fairies. They stand gracefully among the plates and bowls, playing string music, singing and dancing, freezing the moment of the fairy music. Those fairies have graceful postures, exquisite craftsmanship, and are unforgettable. It can be said to be a gorgeous and grand sensory feast.
The other type is mainly flat-shaped, and the representative is the famous dish "Wangchuan Xiaoyang" created by Fan Zheng based on Wang Wei's painting "Wangchuan Tu". She uses the knife instead of the pen according to the true color of the ingredients, chopping pieces as dots, cutting strips as lines, and cutting slices as surfaces to create vivid figures and scenes. It is said that she usually "paints" with ingredients according to the number of people at the table, and each person has a scene on the plate, which together can form the landscape figures in Wang Wei's painting. The conception is ingenious and exquisite, and Fan Zheng has also been listed among the top ten famous chefs for this dish.
Qi Huan had copied the Wangchuan sample before, and now seeing this dish which was also painted with food ingredients, he was delighted and felt familiar with it, so he immediately clicked the "follow" button.
At this time, the young man also completed the final work on the wings, and a picture of a colorful bird stepping on a branch appeared on the plate.
The barrage was filled with praise and rewards. Some praised the exquisite knife work, some praised the beautiful picture, and of course there were also some flattering looks.
In the warm atmosphere, Qi Huan also wanted to give some gifts, but an empty wallet popped up in front of him, "Your wallet is empty now, do you want to top up money immediately?"
Someone who was short of money calmed down and silently waved away the empty wallet. He still owed so much debt, so he should save as much as possible.
Qi Huan was worrying about his wallet, and the anchor pointed to the finished dish and said, "There are 10,000 samples of this dish on the shelf. Friends who need it can go directly to the shelf and buy it."
Ten thousand copies, how long would it take to make? Mechanized? Would it lose its elegance and charm? Qi Huan's mind was full of many thoughts, and he was very curious.
By the time he found the shelf and clicked on it, the icon of "Joyful Eyebrows" had turned gray. Ten thousand copies had already been sold out. The price was 199 silver coins and they were sold out in seconds!
【Thank you Yueyue, I will treasure it! 】
[It looks good, and the fruit selection is also good, with some sour and some sweet! ]
[How do you say that word? Beauty is a feast to the eyes! ]
[As expected of a Si family member, their craftsmanship is unrivaled in the world]
【Finally got a chance, it was so hard!!!】
[I thought it was only the tickets for the competition that were hard to get, but I didn’t expect it would be so hard to get a meal]
The barrage of comments began to roll like a boiling pot.
No matter how fast you are, it is impossible to receive the goods within ten seconds of taking the photo. Referring to the barrage of comments, Qi Huan realized belatedly that the so-called experience products should use simulation technology similar to that of window exhibits, where you can "feel" the taste synchronously, but it is not about eating the real thing. It can be regarded as paid "cloud sharing" in this era.
Not counting the rewards for a live broadcast, the cloud sharing has a turnover of 2 million. Even if it is A-grade ingredients, it is extremely meager after flattening. This business can be done! After roughly calculating the bill, someone clenched his fist excitedly.
The second live broadcast room was called "Desolate Star Foodie". As soon as Qi Huan entered, it was shaking like an earthquake. He was caught off guard and felt dizzy. After he finally stood firm, he realized that he was not in a store, but a dense green forest.
Live broadcast? Qi Huan looked around excitedly, seeing green all around. The plants in the base were all made of metal, and it was rare to see real trees.
The surrounding area was filled with towering ancient trees, blocking out the sun. Only scattered sunlight filtered through the gaps between branches and leaves and fell onto the ground. In the silence, there was also a hint of the dangerous atmosphere of the jungle.
There were two anchors, leaning against a tree, breathing heavily.
On the left is a blonde beauty, about thirty years old, with smooth long hair tied into a high ponytail on the top of her head, revealing a smooth forehead. The man on the right has a handsome appearance, but his hair is snow-white, giving him a bit of a youthful look, making it difficult to guess his age.
The leather boots on their feet were covered with moss and fallen leaves, and they looked a little disheveled.
"Okay, it should be safe here." The female anchor, who had recovered, stood up, threw the ends of her hair back behind her, and spoke first.
The man nodded, and the two men took a short rest and started walking in the forest again, chatting as they walked. Through their chat and introduction, Qi Huan roughly understood that the two were both partners and a couple, and the live broadcast content was mainly about finding new and exotic ingredients and tasting them on various planets. Today, the two were going to search and taste a kind of berry called Taju in the forest. Of course, there would be various surprises or shocks during the search, such as when they accidentally encountered a giant ghost-faced spider just now, which caused them to run away desperately.
The couple's window displays are also unique, filled with strange ingredients they have found, and the taste is like a roller coaster ride.
The first exhibit was the size of a cantaloupe, with a wrinkled skin that looked a bit like a ripe avocado, and tasted sweet and juicy like a mango. The second one looked like some strange mussel, with a rainbow-colored shell of red, orange, green and blue, so gorgeous that it looked like it was about to participate in a carnival parade, but the meat tasted like chewing wax. Qi Huan thought he had found a pattern: good-looking things tasted bad, and only the unattractive ones were delicious. The third time, he deliberately picked an ugly one with a black, pitted skin. When he peeled it and took a bite, it felt like he was punched in the face, and the bitterness made his nose numb.
Although he was fooled twice, Qi Huan found the feeling of opening the blind box with this kind of ingredients extremely interesting and quickly clicked to follow.
At the same time, he also thought of another model of food live streaming. Since there is the food testing type, is there a store visiting type?
The following live broadcast rooms were all in-store models, making biscuits, milk tea, and preserved fruits. They were far less popular than the first two, and the taste of the products on display in the window was very ordinary. Qi Huan left with little interest. After watching all the top fifteen live broadcast rooms, he did not find any live broadcasts of food exploration.
Seeing that the time was almost halfway, he stopped browsing and decided to study the process of applying to be a host.
I looked around the street and didn't find any prompt like "I want to open a store", but I saw the floating blue universal door.
Yes, it's easier to find it than to search! Qi Huan immediately patted the air twice, and the door fell to the ground.
"How do I apply to start a food live broadcast?" Qi Huan asked his question and reached out to turn the handle.
Behind the door is a short corridor with three doors. The first door says [Food Channel Live Room Open Channel], the second door says [Personal Consultation Room - Food Live Room], and the third door says [Live Room Newbie Instructions]
After reading the words on the three doors, he pushed open the second door first.
The inside of the door was made to look like a hotel suite, and a man in a tuxedo with a butler-like style came up to me. On his chest was a brooch with the words "Private Butler" in silver on a black background. He behaved politely, and his micro-expressions were so real that it was difficult to tell whether he was a real person or an NPC in the system who was responsible for answering questions.
Leading Qi Huan to sit on the sofa, the man said gently, "Welcome to the personal consultation room. I am your personal butler 62635257788. Do you need a full introduction to the opening of the food live broadcast room or a single introduction to the process, cost, equipment, precautions, etc.?"
"Full introduction." Qi Huan leaned back on the sofa and chose a comfortable position.
The man snapped his fingers, and a projection screen dropped from the air.
[The first step to start live streaming is to choose a cooperative platform. The alliance currently has 772 platforms that can provide food live streaming services. The top three in the comprehensive selection are Miracle, Baifu and Lingguang. ]
As he introduced, promotional videos of the three platforms were played on the projection screen.
[The Miracle Platform is the least experienced of the three platforms, with only 50 years of history. It also has the lowest traffic among the three platforms. The simulation technology experience is acceptable, but the supporting logistics service security is poor, and there are occasional problems with lost goods. However, the entry threshold is low, the broadcast time is not restricted, the degree of freedom is high, and the registration fee is 100 silver coins. The biggest advantage is the high share ratio, which is 60% for food anchors.
Baifu platform, which is the platform you are on now, has a history of 222 years. Its traffic ranks second among the three major platforms. Its simulation technology is the most advanced and has the best experience. The registration fee is 200 silver coins. The share ratio provided to food anchors is 55%. The minimum monthly broadcast time requirement is 10 hours. The disadvantage is that the terminal hardware equipment requirements are relatively high and the initial investment is large.
Lingguang platform has been in operation for 500 years. It is the platform with the longest history and the largest traffic. All services are standard. The registration fee is 500 silver coins. The review requirements for newcomers are relatively high. The minimum broadcast time is 20 hours per month, and the popularity review is additional. The 1% with the lowest average popularity value for three consecutive months will be directly terminated. The anchor's share ratio is also the lowest, only 50%. 】
Although Lingguang has the most stringent requirements, Qi Huan is most interested in it. Live streaming needs traffic the most, and it is good to be under a big tree. Qi Huan guessed that this is why Lingguang dares to be so strict in terms of conditions. In addition, since it has been able to sit firmly in the top spot for such a long time, it shows that the user experience is good. And strictness is not a bad thing to some extent. The processes in all aspects should be relatively more formal, and there will be fewer dirty things.
But when he opened Lingguang's newcomer review conditions page, he closed it after just a few glances. He finally understood what 7788 meant by the implicit "higher requirements". He was eliminated at the second point.
The minimum identity requirement for Ling Guang to open a live broadcast room is to be a resident of the first star field. People like him who live on a waste star and do not have formal resident status in the star field are not eligible to apply at all.
He went to experience Miracle's simulation technology again, and the experience was obviously worse than here.
After removing the highest score and the lowest score, Qi Huan's heart immediately leaned towards Bai Fu.
The registration and review process for Miracle and Baifu is 22 hours, no difference. In terms of necessary expenses, in addition to the registration fee, there is the terminal equipment. Miracle's lowest-end equipment is priced at 50,000 silver coins, while Baifu's requires 250,000. The highest-end is even more expensive, with another zero added at the end.
The income of the anchor is divided into two parts, the share of the audience's tips, and the share of the sales of the food on the shelves. There are also two ways to put the food on the shelves. One is the [experience product] that Qi Huan had seen in the Silver Knife Family before. Regarding the experience product, 7788 explained it for a full twenty minutes. Various professional terms and terms made someone drowsy. According to his understanding, it is to use the terminal equipment to capture and analyze the shape, size, aroma, color, taste and taste of the food, convert it into relevant system values, and then synchronize it to the audience on the other end for a simulation experience. The higher the sensitivity of the equipment, the better the simulation effect, and of course the more expensive it is.
The other is the physical version of the [official product], which is produced and initially packaged by the anchor, while the subsequent protective packaging and logistics delivery are handled by the platform's designated partners. The logistics costs are borne by the consignee by default.
The profit sharing ratio is fixed, the pricing power of the products on the shelves belongs to the anchor, and the number of products on the shelves is also determined by the anchor, but it cannot exceed the upper limit of the equipment's carrying capacity.
Qi Huan was a little conflicted. Considering the comprehensive conditions and development prospects, Bai Fu's side was definitely better. However, for him whose assets were currently stretched to the limit, the additional investment of 250,000 silver coins was indeed not a small amount. The cash on hand was definitely not enough, so he had to sell the beast core that Si Han had given him last time.
If he only does offline business, even if he opens full-day business after his arm heals and raises the prices of dishes, his income will indeed be a good step up, but the flow of people in the base is limited after all, and it will be even less during the hunting off-season. If he is prepared to stay in the base for a lifetime, this may be enough, but if he wants to redeem himself, it is far from enough.
With his current ability, it is impossible to help Waste Planet No. 7 increase traffic, so if he wants to make more money, he can only open up more money-making channels besides store sales. Canned sauces do have some sales in food stores, but they are also limited. After all, the business of the base restaurant is also closely related to the number of hunting teams, and most of the residents in the base mainly eat nutrient solution and are reluctant to spend money on food. Live broadcasting is the only sales channel he can see that can break through the restrictions of the waste planet.
He wandered around the live broadcast room again and observed the live broadcast duration and reward status of each anchor.
The live broadcast in the store is usually about half an hour to an hour. The dishes are simple, and if it is too long it will appear boring and fail to retain the audience. Only the live broadcast of Wilderness Foodies lasts two or three hours each time, but their model not only combines food but also elements of adventure and travel, which is difficult to replicate.
In terms of income, if the popularity of Silver Knife or Wilderness Foodie can be achieved in the future, not to mention the equipment payback, the time required for "redeem" will also be greatly shortened.
But it may not be easy to reach this level of popularity.
Qi Huan also started out as a live broadcaster, so he naturally knows the difficult period that newcomers have to go through in the early stages. In addition, he started live broadcasting only after he had gained some attention and a fan base. Now he really has to start from scratch. Traffic is like a snowball, and it is the most difficult to accumulate in the early stages. If you want to gather popularity as quickly as possible, the attractiveness and reputation of the content are particularly important.
Five hours passed in a flash, and by the time I had almost understood the various requirements for opening a live broadcast room, the usage time was almost over.
At this time, Qi Huan had basically made up his mind to start live streaming in Baifu.
The popularity of the food channel is limited, but according to the sales data of those who are doing food live broadcasts, as long as they can stick to it, the equipment funds will be recovered. It's just a matter of time. He has 250 years, so what can't he wait for? What's more, he is very confident in his cooking skills.
Furthermore, the live broadcast equipment can directly receive star network signals, so you can access the Internet at home and learn about various news in this world, which will be much more convenient.
Given the requirement for the number of live broadcasts per month, he was not in a hurry to register now. He planned to make preparations after he returned and take action after his hand had almost recovered.
After logging off, the three of them met and walked towards the airship parking platform. Rondo excitedly introduced to them the ingredients he had prepared for tonight. Qi Huan was also happy to have a ready-made dinner. However, Quan Hai was unusually silent, either stealing glances at Qi Huan or seeming to be hesitant to speak.
Seeing his strange look, Qi Huan raised an eyebrow, "What's the matter?"
