Chapter 49 Boys should protect themselves when they go out
Qi Huan's personal terminal suddenly began to vibrate with a buzzing sound. This familiar and rapid frequency gave him an 'ominous' premonition.
Sure enough, it was the big takeout customer from Base No. 99 again.
[Are you there? I want to order takeout for tomorrow]
[The food you cooked is so delicious! I can't help it and want to eat it again. ]
Then came the familiar process of copying the menu.
[You order so much every time, can you eat it all? ] Qi Huan was willing to make money, but probably because of his grandparents' education, the concept of not wasting food was deeply rooted in him.
[You should ask if there is enough food. Every time the takeaway arrives, those shameless robbers from other buildings will come over to grab it. If you are slow, you won’t get any! ]
Qi Huan couldn't help laughing. The scene described by this big customer was exactly like when the four brothers in his dormitory ate hotpot together, the water boiled and they started to pick up their chopsticks. If you were slow, you would get the food.
Jiufang Yu's frosty eyebrows slightly raised, "What's wrong?"
"Remember the takeaway customer from Base 99?" Qi Huan smiled and shook his head, unblocking the privacy screen to show Jiu Fangyu his monitor. "Every time he ordered takeaway, he would order a whole page of menu, and then he would complain to me that there was not enough food."
"What he said should be true." Jiu Fangyu nodded, and it was easy to imagine the scene where the takeaways were coveted by countless people after being delivered to the sanatorium. Not to mention the waste star, even in the nine-layer star field, Qi Huan's craftsmanship can make a name for himself.
After the other party finished crying, he sent another message, [Is it true that the number of dishes ordered each time cannot exceed 20? ]
Seeing the latest news, Jiu Fangyu raised his eyebrows, "Twenty dishes?"
"Yes, I set a limit for him, no more than 20 dishes can be ordered, and he still said it's not enough."
"Then increase the price," Jiufang Yu tapped the white jade ring with his white fingertips, "If you order more than twenty dishes, the price will double."
Price increase? Qi Huan blinked twice in confusion. Others offer discounts for large quantities, but he is also raising the price for a large quantity? Isn't that the opposite of Tian Gang?
"Can you do it?"
"Didn't you say that you like making money the most? It would be a waste not to make money." Jiufang Yu glanced at the display screen calmly. With the consumption level of Waste Star, those people probably had too much money in their hands and had no place to spend it.
[If the order is over 20 dishes, the price will double.] Qi Huan hesitated, but still responded according to Jiu Fangyu's suggestion. In fact, with a little consideration, you can find that Jiu Fangyu's suggestion is a perfect solution. If the other party minds the price, ordering no more than 20 dishes can achieve his original purpose of controlling the number of orders placed by the other party. If the other party does not mind the price, the increased price can also make up for the energy he loses from staying up late or getting up early to cook.
[Okay!] The other party agreed without hesitation and added eleven more dishes.
[Can payment be transferred? ]
【Um】
Two seconds later, a transfer prompt popped up on the interface, [Received a transfer of 1,100 silver coins from N3568K221T5916]
That was double the total price of the thirty-one dishes.
[No, more, I mean the price of dishes beyond the twenty will be doubled.] Seeing that he misunderstood, Qi Huan hurriedly explained.
[It's okay, it's just a small amount of money. As long as you are willing to accept the order, I can pay double or triple in the future, the price is up to you. ] The other party said nonchalantly.
Qi Huan held his forehead speechlessly. Sometimes I really want to fight with you evil rich people!
Forget it, just kill me with money.
Jiufang Yu looked at the last line of words, his frosty eyebrows slightly raised, and a meaningful smile appeared in his eyes.
Because the amount of food was so large, Qi Huan still got up early even though the delivery time was delayed by an hour. Even Wu Ke, who came to help with the breakfast business, and Shen Ye, who was 'passing by', were all dragged into the kitchen to help. The three of them plus the butler Xiong were very busy.
Chen Ye originally wanted to come over to inquire about last night's gossip, but he was ordered around for the entire morning. He only had time to come when Qi Huan and Wu Ke left and Qi Huan was cooking the last two dishes.
"Where did the boss take you to watch the stars last night?"
"An abandoned building in the south city." Qi Huan added some spices to the base oil, and the sound of crackling oil bubbles immediately came from the kitchen.
"Then what?"
“And then we chatted for a while.”
"And then what?"
Qi Huan put the side dishes into the pot and started to stir-fry, "Then I came back."
"You little brat, are you forcing me to use violence?" Shen Ye was so angry that he cracked his finger bones twice.
"If you touch me, I will immediately complain to your boss." Qi Huan was not afraid at all.
Chen Ye's movements froze, and he complained, "Huanhuan, you have become bad!"
Qi Huan shook the wok a few times with swift movements, "I just slowly learned to protect myself under your persecution."
Shen Ye:......
Before delivering food outside the West Gate, Qi Huan went to FamilyMart. When he came out, he had a worn-out and old-fashioned helmet on his head.
"What are you doing?" Shen was also embarrassed by his ridiculous appearance, and laughed so hard that he slapped the armrest of the driver's seat.
"What do you know? Boys should learn to protect themselves when they go out." Qi Huan wrapped a towel around his neck, protecting his neck and head tightly. "Physical defense is the strongest defense."
Chen Ye laughed until his stomach hurt. He took a picture of himself in this look and posted it to the Ferocious Beast Team group, with the words "Let's enjoy the weird outfit together", which caused a row of ellipsis marks to appear.
Seeing Qi Huan, the woman who came to pick up the takeaway was also stunned. She never expected that he would use this method to prevent harassment.
"Little boy, this thing can't protect you from Hongxiu." The woman came to her senses and waved a finger at him.
Sure enough, the next second, that cold and slippery touch appeared on Qi Huan's cheek again.
How could someone get in when it was covered so tightly? Qi Huan was completely speechless.
Back on the airship, Qi Huan threw his towel and helmet to the back row with a frustrated look on his face. Shen was also very amused, "Is this considered the most complete defeat in physics?"
Qi Huan glanced at him and said, "Tonight's shrimp and chicken wings are gone."
Shen Ye's laughter stopped abruptly and he screamed, "Hey, stop it!"
After being busy at the unloading yard for the whole afternoon, the crabs ordered last time arrived just before getting off work. The other party was afraid that some of them would die on the way, so they sent dozens more. After inspection, there were still 422 alive. Boss Wan did not keep any and loaded them all for Qi Huan.
With Chen Ye's airship, it became much easier to transport the crabs and the large number of bamboo bottles that Qi Huan had just bought.
"You should start handing over your work today, right? Will it take too much time to pick me up?" Qi Huan asked while fastening his seat belt. Jiufang Yu is the new star master, Xu Zhi and Shen Ye must be management. He is an NPC in the base, so what's the big deal for him to be picked up by the base management every day?
"No." Shen Ye started the airship and whistled at him triumphantly, "I can get off work early if I pick you up."
"Are they still doing it?" Qi Huan subconsciously glanced in the direction of East City.
"Of course not." Chen Ye sighed, feeling annoyed when thinking of the pile of bad accounts that Jiu Fang Kuang had thrown at him. "Those guys are just like you, they are all workaholics. They have to count until at least 8:30."
"No, I'm not. I just owe too much debt and want to pay it off as soon as possible." Qi Huan immediately denied it.
Shen also shook his head in disbelief, "You'll rest after you pay off your debt?"
"That's not the case," Qi Huan stretched out his legs, resting his arms on the back of the chair and leaning back comfortably, "After paying off the debt, I have to continue to earn more. Only with money can I feel safe."
“How much money can make you feel safe?”
Qi Huan thought seriously for a while, "At least I have to be able to buy this planet."
Shen also laughed, "If you buy this planet, what will our boss do?"
"He still has many choices," Qi Huan swung his feet leisurely, his eyebrows slightly raised, "For example, becoming the Star Lord's wife!"
Shen Ye almost spit out his anger, and the airship also swayed twice in the air, "You really dare to think so!"
"Why are you making such a fuss?" Qi Huan said innocently. "Think about it. People always have to have some small goals!"
Shen Ye:......
Small goal? Do you call that a goal? You should call it a fantasy!
After much hesitation, Qi Huan canceled the live broadcast tonight. Firstly, the dish he was going to make for the live broadcast had not yet reached his ideal effect, and he had to adjust a few ingredients tonight to test the taste and effect; secondly, the fresher the bald butter crab, the better the taste; thirdly, it had already been shipped and he had to wait for many days, so he was afraid that Si Liang would be anxious, so he simply made everything in a hurry.
During the break in the evening market, he steamed crabs in pots. When Jiufang Yu, Xu Zhi and others finished their work and rushed back to eat, the whole restaurant was filled with the unique sweet aroma of crabs.
Seeing the pots of crabs on the tables against the wall, Kong Hu happily leaned over to take a look, "There are so many crabs tonight, can we finish them all?"
"Those aren't for eating, they're for peeling."
Kong Hu's hand froze as soon as it touched the crab shell, and his face was full of question marks.
"To make crab butter and crab roe sauce, we have to take out all the crab roe, crab roe, and crab meat. As you can see," Qi Huan pointed at the crabs that were cooling down, "there are more than 400 crabs in total. Time is short and the task is heavy. I can only ask everyone to help after dinner."
Xu Zhi glanced at Jiufang Yu silently, and seeing that his boss had no objection, he didn't say anything.
Just as Shen Ye was about to speak, Qi Huan added, "Those who don't help are not allowed to eat after it's done."
Shen Ye:......
Since they had to shell the crabs, of course they needed the 'experienced' pair of Quanjia siblings, especially Quanhai who could do the work of three people. Qi Huan simply called them over for dinner so that they could start working together after dinner.
Quan Hai has always been a little afraid of Jiufang Yu and Shen Ye. During this period of time, he would try his best to avoid the time when the ferocious beast team was present when he came to the human restaurant. He also insisted on not sitting with them when eating. Qi Huan couldn't persuade him, so he opened a separate table and went to eat with Quan Hai's siblings.
"Hey, Mingzhu, don't throw it." Chen Ye held his chin sourly, looked at Qi Huan who was chatting happily with all the sisters and brothers in the family, and then looked at his eldest brother who didn't talk when eating or sleeping, and felt a little bored.
"You know what, there's really nothing wrong with the name Qi Huan. I just seem to be happier when I'm with him." Tao Zhe paused with his chopsticks picking up the meat slices. Qi Huan went to the next table, and all the joy and excitement seemed to follow him there.
"Why, were you two so depressed before coming to Waste Star?" Kong Hu was grabbing Taozhe's twice-cooked pork and Shen Ye's shrimp stuffed chicken wings while using the group taunting skill to pile up a tall tower of meat and chicken wings in his bowl. Thanks to the hand speed he practiced from typing on the keyboard, he didn't delay either side.
"What happy things do you have to tell me?"
Kong Hu raised his chin proudly, "Meeting the boss and following the boss is the happiest thing in my life."
"Chili hammer!" Taozhe cursed angrily, this flatterer!
"Shame on you!" Chen Ye fiercely snatched a bowl of shrimp paste stuffed chicken wings from Kong Hu's bowl, and the chicken wings tower collapsed.
Jiufang Yu and Xu Zhi were too lazy to get involved in the fight between three childish children. One turned a blind eye and the other just stood by and watched.
After dinner, crabs were served on the table as a snack. All the siblings started working right away. Qi Huan moved back to the table of the Ferocious Beast Team and taught everyone how to peel crabs.
In addition to the five members of the Ferocious Beast Team, Zhou Qi Ba also grabbed a seat for the lecture with great interest, and placed a red-shelled crab of the same size as himself in front of him.
"First of all, it's best to spread out the crab legs. This will prevent you from getting pricked, and it will also make it easier to cut open and take out the meat later..." Qi Huan held a crab and began to demonstrate to everyone step by step how to peel the crab shell.
"Crack!" "Crack!" Jiufang Yu used too much strength and crushed the crab shell, and Xingqiba's front hooves crushed the crab claws.
"It's okay. It doesn't matter if the shell is broken. It just will be more troublesome to peel it." As expected of uncle and nephew, this familiar scene reminded Qi Huan of the time when Si Liang learned to peel crabs.
Jiufang Yu wiped his fingers as if nothing had happened, swapped his crab with Zhou Qiba's, took the one with a missing claw, and threw the one with a broken shell to Zhou Qiba. Hei Tuanzi poked the hole in the middle of the crab shell with his hoof in dissatisfaction, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt annoyed. Finally, he opened his mouth and swallowed the whole thing, shell and meat.
"Oh~" Qi Huan was unable to stop it and had to get another one for it.
"First, open its pointed navel and break it off..."
"Crack!" "Ouch!" Xu Zhi and Tao Zhe, one crushed the crab's legs, and the other got his hand pierced by the crab shell. The two looked at Qi Huan silently, both of them were at a loss and felt guilty. The sentinels, who had flexible hands and feet and well-developed motor nerves, were actually in such a mess that they were at a loss what to do with a crab.
"It's okay if the crab legs are broken, just be careful not to get pricked again." Qi Huan choked for half a second and quickly comforted the two. How strong are sentinels?
"You can be a little gentler and don't use too much strength." Qi Huan reminded again.
Shen was relatively okay, although he was a little slow, at least he was not as clumsy as Xu Zhi and Tao Zhe, but Zhou Qi would occasionally have some broken crab claws and legs in front of him, trying to use it to cover up the evidence. Kong Hu was the only one of the five who had seen and eaten crabs in shells, although he was not as skilled as Qi Huan, but at least he could be classified as someone who could peel crabs.
"OK, that's it, we've finished peeling one crab." Qi Huan pushed the meat from the last crab leg into the bowl of crab meat, indicating that the work was done.
"It's not easy." Shen Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
"It turns out that crabs are so difficult to peel." The potter looked at the siblings next to him who were working very quickly and sighed as well.
The meat they peeled off was in pieces and looked horrible. It was nothing compared to the two plates of crystal white crab meat and golden crab roe in Qi Huan's hands.
"You can dip these two sauces when eating. Each person is limited to three crabs." Qi Huan pointed at the two sauces on the table and pushed the two plates he had peeled to Xingqi Ba and Jiu Fangyu, motioning them to have a taste. Three crabs were just enough to satisfy their cravings and help them become more proficient in peeling crabs.
"Huanhuan, you are biased!" Chen Ye caught a glimpse of his little action of secretly giving him crab meat and immediately accused him.
"Yes, he is my boss!" Qi Huan nodded and admitted generously. Human nature is double standards, he just loves to peel it for Jiufang Yu and Heituanzi to eat!
Can you still do this? And still do this? You actually said it so confidently! Shen Ye was in a mess in the wind.
"So what else do you want..." Shen Ye was about to expose his bad intentions towards his boss, but Qi Huan quickly stuffed a piece of crab claw meat into his mouth and said, "Peel it for you, I'll give you the second one~"
Shen Ye was finally satisfied, okay, he could still accept being second.
There is strength in numbers, and as the people from the Ferocious Beast Squad at the back gradually became more proficient, after more than two hours, everyone finally finished peeling all the crabs.
After seeing everyone off, Qi Huan was not idle either. He seized the opportunity and stayed up late to make the butter and crab roe sauce.
When he finished washing and drying his hair and returned to the attic, he found that the black ball was lying on his bed.
The little guy curled up into a round ball and fell asleep. There was a neatly folded piece of clothing under his body, and the transparent acrylic buckle could be vaguely seen.
Sensing Qi Huan's breath, Hei Tuanzi woke up immediately, rubbed his arm affectionately twice, and was about to jump out of the back window, but suddenly changed his route and ran downstairs.
Qi Huan followed him downstairs in confusion, and saw Zhou Ba squatting leisurely beside the bamboo bottles that had been filled with butter, looking at them eagerly.
After Qi Huan and Jiu Fangyu's joint communication and education these days, it has learned not to eat randomly, at least, not to eat randomly when it is happy.
Qi Huan poured a can for it, thought for a moment, and took out two of his latest live broadcast experiments that he had just made and put them in the takeaway box, and instructed, "Take it back and give one to you and your master."
The black ball nodded, then ran out of the window holding the handle in his mouth.
[I asked Xiaoba to bring you a gift, remember to try it]
Jiufang Yu looked around at the two brown eggs in the box, and felt that the color was a bit strange. [Are you sure you can eat it?]
[Of course, believe me, this is definitely the most delicious egg in the universe]
