[This week's task: Sell 500 skewers of candied hawthorn berries daily.]
(Note: There are no restrictions on the variety of candied hawthorns, or on the location and time of the stall.)
[Recipe: Candied Hawthorn Berries - Now Available!]
[Accept Task/Reject Task]
Lin Zhou: ? ? ?
At three in the morning, Lin Zhou looked at the newly refreshed weekly tasks and his vision went black.
What does 500 strings of candied hawthorn berries mean?
He might work from morning till night and still not be able to sell five hundred skewers!
Kill him.
This task is a gross overestimation of his abilities.
Lin Zhou closed his eyes, lay down on the bed, and considered the possibility of refusing the mission.
Logically speaking, he has only been in this world for three weeks, which is the time for him to work hard. He is still a long way from lying down and not doing any tasks.
But this task is absolutely outrageous!
Who's the kind person who can sell 500 candied hawthorn skewers a day?!
Although the previous tasks were unconventional, they were still easy to complete with some effort and hard work.
Is the first few tasks just a little something for beginners, and now they're starting to increase the difficulty?
After lying in bed and wasting the whole day, Lin Zhou still gritted his teeth and accepted the mission.
Men should be brave enough to accept challenges.
Take on the task, try your best to complete it, and if you really can't complete it, then we'll talk about it later.
You can't give up before you've even tried, just because you're intimidated by the difficulty of the task.
This was not Lin Zhou's life motto.
I've accepted the task, but how can I sell 500 candied hawthorn skewers every day?
Lin Zhou glanced at the time; it was only a little past three. There was still plenty of time. He decided to go to the market in the morning.
"well......"
A sigh was enough to express his feelings at that moment.
Go to sleep.
Once you're asleep, you don't have to think about these things.
Escaping may be shameful, but it can be useful!
......
Qinhuangshan.
Eight o'clock.
A group of college students couldn't get up for their 8 a.m. classes, but they were more eager to get up than anyone else to eat porridge at 8 a.m.
Xie Hong and the others climbed to the top of the mountain at the same familiar time.
After searching all over, they still couldn't find Lin Zhouren.
"What's going on? Where's the porridge vendor?"
"Did you pack up and go home, or did you not come to set up your stall today?"
The group of people were exhausted, panting like dogs, and couldn't find Lin Zhouren. The despair they felt was indescribable!
"No, did you ask the owner if he was open for business yesterday?"
"I didn't ask yesterday. Doesn't the boss come every day?"
A group of people stared at each other with their clear, foolish eyes.
They exchanged glances; they were both innocent college students.
There's no point in criticizing this, because I'm on the list myself.
"What do we do now? Go down the mountain?"
A group of people looked at each other, their eyes all clear and unambiguous.
After a long while, Yao Chao suddenly realized what was happening.
"No, do you remember when we asked the owner about setting up a stall, he said he'd be there all week, not that he'd be there every day!"
One sentence, like a sudden awakening, landed in everyone's ears.
Everyone suddenly realized.
It seems only these college students are the victims this early in the morning.
The other customers who bought porridge were people who met while hiking and just wanted to have a bowl.
Adults have their own lives and work. Few people would spend two hours climbing a mountain, plus the time spent going down the mountain and on the way, just to eat a bowl of porridge.
Although the porridge was really delicious, everyone just thought about coming back to eat it again during their next break.
"Let's go, let's go down the mountain. There's no porridge left. We've been looking at this mountaintop for so many days, and it's not very interesting."
After waiting for a while and still not seeing Lin Zhou, everyone accepted the fact.
Their silhouettes looked so desolate and sorrowful.
It's so moving that it brings tears to your eyes.
Voices could still be heard in the distance.
"By the way, are we coming again tomorrow morning?"
These words silenced the group once again.
If they had known earlier that Lin Zhou wouldn't be setting up his stall this morning, they would never have come to climb the mountain.
It's not easy to make this trip, and climbing mountains isn't a simple matter either.
Exhausted, I relied on a bowl of porridge to keep going.
But now, they don't know if the porridge vendor will even set up his stall tomorrow!
"Okay, I remember the first time we met the owner was at the foot of the mountain. We came very early that day to see the sunrise, around three or four in the morning. Let's arrive at the same time tomorrow, but we won't go up the mountain. We'll just wait at the foot of the mountain and see if we can meet the owner who sells porridge. If we do, we'll go up the mountain with him. If we don't, we'll all go home and find our own mothers!"
"Great! I agree."
"Okay, let's do it that way."
......
Lin Zhou woke up at eight o'clock.
As for why I slept for so long, well, I have no choice but to adjust my sleep schedule again for the new week.
Selling 500 strings of candied hawthorns a day is no easy task; he'd have to work from morning till night to sell them all.
"well......"
Lin Zhou sighed as soon as he opened his eyes, before he even got out of bed.
The next second, he sprang out of bed with a somersault.
Time is of the essence; I need to hurry to the market to buy ingredients and get started.
Moreover, whether candied hawthorns sell well and where there is a lot of foot traffic are all things that need to be tested.
Preparing five hundred strings of candied hawthorn skewers would take half a day.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhou sighed again after getting up.
Moreover, according to the recipes provided by the system, there are many ways to make candied hawthorn. One classic method is to remove the seeds from the hawthorn berries, skewer them on wooden sticks, coat them with sugar, and sprinkle them with pretty white sesame seeds.
Another method involves splitting hawthorn berries open, removing the seeds, or gently flattening them, stringing several together, coating them with a thin layer of black bean paste, then embedding melon seeds arranged in a pattern on top of the paste, and finally coating them with sugar. From a distance, the red, black, and white colors create an exceptionally tempting sight.
This is a candied hawthorn that is relatively more complicated to make.
Another method involves splitting each hawthorn fruit open, removing the pit, inserting a walnut kernel in the middle, and then coating it with sugar. This way, it won't taste sour.
There are even candied hawthorns made with fruits such as apples and oranges.
Lin Zhou decided to buy more ingredients and try making various kinds of candied hawthorns, which would surely attract a group of girls and children.
Since I've decided to take on the task, I have to do my best to complete it.
After getting ready and leaving the house, Lin Zhou glanced at himself in the mirror.
I don't know if the gene-modifying fluid is working, but his skin seems to have gotten a bit lighter.
In the sweltering summer heat, he's out setting up his stall every day; getting a tan is inevitable.
If you could become white, who would want to be black?
Lin Zhou touched his face with a touch of narcissism, feeling that his skin had become a little smoother.
Great, the system rewards are awesome!
......
Upon arriving at the market, Lin Zhou headed straight for the fruit stalls and bought up all the hawthorns from several stalls.
Aside from buying them to make candied hawthorn skewers or dried hawthorn, very few people buy this much.
Because it's so sour when eaten raw, few people buy it to eat as fruit.
Each fruit stall also had limited stock.
Everyone was very curious when they saw that Lin Zhou wanted so many hawthorns.
"Young man, why are you buying so many hawthorns? Eating too many of these will make your teeth and stomach ache."
