At three o'clock in the afternoon, the snack bar continued to operate.
However, it only sells drinks and snacks. The only drinks available for ordering on the menu are coffee, strawberry soda, and ice milk, and the only snack is cream cookies.
To Lu Yao's surprise, there are still many customers coming to the store.
Du Chen and Du An did not leave after lunch. As soon as the snack bar - cafe opened for limited hours, the two ordered snow-capped coffee and cream cookies and sat in the corner by the window to enjoy the scenery.
Later, Chen Jiang hurried over and sat at the same table with them.
Because the Du brothers came with the people from the nursing home in the morning to do something related to amnesia, Chen Jiang did not go with them.
When Chen Jiang arrived, Du Chen and Du An had finished a cup of coffee and were asking for refills.
He sat down and ordered a cup. He couldn't help asking, "How's the coffee?"
Duan frowned slightly, "Very bitter."
He paused for a moment and pointed to the half-eaten cookie in front of him, "But it goes well with this snack. It's a bit addictive."
Chen Jiang looked forward to it, "It's right to be bitter!"
A few minutes later, three cups of coffee were served. Chen Jiang ordered iced Americano.
Translucent ice cubes floated on the light brown coffee liquid, and a faint bitterness dissipated in the air, exactly the same as the fragrance in his memory.
Chen Jiang took a sip immediately. Because of the ice cubes, the first sip didn't taste very bitter. After swallowing, the bitterness spread from the deep root of the tongue.
Completely different from the mellow fragrance, the dense bitterness seemed to permeate the body, but it was very refreshing.
Chen Jiang closed his eyes and shook his head, then opened his eyes and took another sip, one sip after another, and could not stop at all.
Li Shasha and Chen Meiyue have occasionally gone to the cinema recently. They don’t watch game live broadcasts, but specifically watch the live broadcasts of snack bars.
Yesterday, they learned from the live broadcast that the snack bar was going to have new coffee. They didn’t come in the morning, but waited at the door of the store early in the afternoon.
As soon as the door of the store opened, the two of them walked in directly and chose a seat by the window. Li Shasha ordered an iced Americano and Chen Meiyue ordered a raw coconut latte.
There are only two words "coffee" on the menu in the store. If customers ask, they can make various coffee-based drinks.
The weather outside the window is sunny, and sitting in the store and drinking coffee and chatting with their girlfriends is the leisure life they yearn for.
Li Shasha and Chen Meiyue were enjoying the leisurely time at this moment, as if decades of boredom were completely made up by this moment.
Three little NPCs, Bubble, Dudu and Dongdong, passed by the door of the snack bar and were about to go to work in the park.
Bubble found that the snack bar was actually open at this time, and suddenly he couldn't move. He urged his two little friends: "There are food in the snack bar, go and have a look?"
Dudu and Dongdong had already been conquered by the snack bar, and they changed direction when they heard it.
The three of them entered the store empty-handed, and one of them came out with a takeaway box in his hand, which contained iced coffee and a cream cookie.
They sneaked to the door of the park with the things, covering each other to avoid being discovered by the guard chief Bai Jian.
For some reason, the guard chief hated the snack bar that everyone liked very much.
The three of them couldn't wait to open the takeaway bag when they arrived at the office. Paopao took a sip of coffee first, then his face wrinkled into a ball, aggrieved: "It's so bitter!"
The colleagues next to him saw Paopao like this and suddenly became curious: "Is it really bitter?"
Paopao paused for a few seconds, lowered his head and took another sip, his face wrinkled like an old man in an instant, and nodded: "It's really bitter."
Several colleagues couldn't help but discuss how to sneak out and buy a takeaway under the eyes of the guard chief.
Bitter, no one wants to taste it.
But for the residents of the dreamland, bitterness is also a fresh experience that makes people addicted.
Qi Chen stood behind the bar, mixing coffee and packing cream cookies, busy and happy. This was exactly the kind of life he had imagined before he died.
After the seats in the store are full, many people will choose to take away. The revenue from drinks and desserts alone in the afternoon is considerable.
But it's a pity that it's not money.
Lu Yao and Bai Ming sat in the kitchen pinching takeout boxes.
Ever since she lit up the illusion skill, she has been wondering if she can do something with it, maybe to reduce the store's expenses.
I heard that the subways and airplanes in this world are all made of illusion and can operate normally. This skill is more powerful than she imagined.
But she has only figured out one use for it, which is to pinch some suitable bowls to replace the plastic takeout boxes and tableware in the world, saving a little money.
These bowls pinched by illusion can be adjusted in shape and size at will, have moderate strength, and are particularly heat-insulating.
She has tried it, and it doesn't leak when holding cold or hot food. After use, they will automatically dissipate in two days.
It is convenient, environmentally friendly, and free of charge. It is simply perfect.
Although her store is small, she uses a lot of takeout boxes every day, which is a huge expense over time.
Thinking of this, Lu Yao couldn't help but sigh.
Bai Ming raised his head and saw that she was worried, so he asked, "Is the owner worried?"
Lu Yao looked at him and shook his head. It's no use telling you.
Bai Ming casually piled the bowls aside and said in a gentle voice: "Shopkeeper, don't be polite with us. If you have any problems, tell us and we can find a solution together."
Lu Yao thought that you really couldn't help share this matter, but she had a question that she had been curious about for a long time, so she asked it: "It's about income. Well, what if time runs out?"
She was curious before. Since time is something that can be circulated, it should be limited for them.
What will happen after it runs out? Death?
If it was apricots or eggplants in front of her, Lu Yao would not dare to be so straightforward. Bai Ming has a lazy personality. Apart from loving to eat, he doesn't talk much or think much. Lu Yao always has a lucky mentality.
Bai Ming didn't think it was strange, and said calmly: "If you don't have it, go to the amusement park to play games and steal other people's time." Lu Yao's
eyes widened slightly, and the amusement park and games seemed to flash through her mind.
Bai Ming looked at her and suddenly said: "But remember, don't go near the amusement park." If
you say that, won't I be more curious?
Lu Yao lowered his head and said obediently: "Oh."
At this moment, the cell phone suddenly rang, and a clear message alert tone came.
Lu Yao's cell phone can also receive messages in this world, but only in the store. There is no signal when she walks out.
She glanced at the message and put down the half-finished bowl.
[Yaoyao, are you still taking orders? I have an important date tonight, and I want to do a new manicure. ]
I have been busy with things in the store recently, and Lu Yao almost forgot that she has a side job.
Lu Yao immediately replied: [Sure. I'll go home soon, you come over. ]
After explaining to a few store employees, she packed up and prepared to go home.
Lu Yao used to like making money, and she never missed a part-time job during the winter and summer vacations when she was in school. Later
, when she had more free time in college, she learned a lot of things that she was interested in and could make money.
Manicure is one of them. She has good taste and good skills, and gradually became famous.
Many rich ladies in the city like to find her.
The girl who sent the message is called Shen Sisi, one of her former customers.
Before the graduation trip, Lu Yao issued a notice to suspend work.
Later, an accident occurred during the trip. She was tied to the system and urged to open a store, and she forgot about it.
To be honest, if she hadn't had the habit of saving money since she was a child and had a little assets, running a snack bar would drain her in half a month.
Even so, the shrinking assets also made Lu Yao very anxious.
The snack bar has slowly got on the right track, and she can spare a small part of her time to do a little side job. It doesn't take too much time, just a little supplement to the increasingly empty wallet.
Lu Yao went home and packed up a little, and Shen Sisi came. As soon as she entered the door, she hugged Lu Yao tightly, "Yaoyao, I missed you so much."
There are many nail salons in the city of Yaoguang, and Shen Sisi has tried all the famous ones. In the end, she still likes Lu Yao's style the most.
Lu Yao has moved out the tool box and materials, and after listening to Shen Sisi's request, he started to work.
In the snack bar, after Lu Yao left, Bai Ming called three employees to the kitchen, his expression was extremely serious: "The manager seems to have encountered some problems."
Xingzi nodded: "I noticed it too, she has been sighing these two days."
Xiaoqie blinked: "What's the matter?"
Bai Ming frowned: "I asked a few questions, she was evasive and didn't want to say it, then mentioned the income, and finally just asked me what to do if the time runs out."
Xiaoqie was puzzled: "How can time run out? The snack bar makes such a high profit every day."
Xingzi thought further: "Is she sick?"
Xiaoqie suddenly became afraid: "I don't want the manager to die."
When Lu Yao was not in the store, Qi Chen was uneasy, especially when Bai Ming and others got together, he tried his best to reduce his presence, even though he was obviously the same kind as these people.
Maybe they have been dead for too long, and even their thinking has become like that of monsters, and the direction of the discussion is getting more and more absurd.
Qi Chen couldn't help but remind him, "She has no money."
The three looked at him blankly, and Qi Chen patiently explained why Lu Yao became penniless.
The snack bar has so many customers every day, and the expenses are really not small, but the income cannot be converted into cash.
Qi Chen thinks that it is very unexpected that Lu Yao can hold on for so long.
After listening, the kitchen fell into a brief silence.
Bai Ming touched his chin and thought, "The money in her world, I seem to have seen it in the game."
Occasionally, there are silly challengers who bring money into the game, but this kind of thing is useless to NPCs, and no one usually cares.
It turns out that Lu Yao needs this thing.
Bai Ming counted on his fingers and said, "I'm going to the amusement park."
Xingzi chased after him, "I'll go too."
Xiaoqie held her back, "Sister Xingzi, I'll go. I'm better than you in the game."
Xingzi snorted and laughed, "That's not necessarily true."
She just doesn't like getting her clothes dirty.
Guard chief Bai Jian stood by the window and saw Bai Ming and the other two coming out of the snack bar and heading to the amusement park. He was excited and a little self-satisfied.
Did they find the snack bar boring and wanted to go back to the amusement park?
Bai Jian watched the three of them walk into the amusement park together, then turned around and sat down at his desk, pretending to be busy with work while waiting for the three of them to come up.
He waited for a long time, but no one knocked on the door, so he pretended to go downstairs to inspect the work, and when he asked, he found out that the three of them had all entered the game.
Bai Jian: ...
The amusement park is like an Internet cafe in the real world to the residents of Dream Country. In addition to the NPCs hired by the amusement park, other people can also enter.
It's just that in the game, you have to follow the rules, and no one can be an exception.
Are these three guys here to relax after work?
