142 The ninth store,
◎Our store focuses on authenticity. ◎
There are many categories of handmade desserts. Considering safety, operability and fun, the small theme of the DIY activity on the first day is cream cakes. The production process starts from baking the cake base, to making homemade cream, and freely decorating.
Lu Yao found a lot of video tutorials on the Internet, but in the end he asked Zhou Su to record two basic tutorial videos, which were directly used for the activities of the DIY hut.
The first video mainly introduces the materials and tools needed to make cream cakes, and the second video is the production process.
The materials, formulas and production processes used in the video have been tested by Zhou Su to ensure high operability and low turnover rate, and even the most handicapped customers can easily get started.
In the operation classroom, there are corresponding tools and materials on the operating table in front of each customer.
Under the guidance of the video tutorial, the customers got the hang of it very quickly, and the classroom had the atmosphere of a kindergarten craft class.
Gan Ying and Chen You stood at the two ends of the classroom, staring at the video projected on the blackboard for a while, and then staring at the customers in the classroom with calm eyes.
The fun of DIY is mainly the customers' independent experience. After the key points of the tutorial are explained clearly, the instructor's work is relatively less, unless there are customers who need help.
Because the customers who come to the store are adults with strong self-management ability, and there are two assistants beside them, Lu Yao's work is much easier than during the business hours.
All customers put the prepared batter into the oven according to the steps taught in the video tutorial. The next step is to whip the cream for decoration while the cake base is baking.
At this time, Huang Qi, the front desk clerk, came to call Lu Yao. Several customers who wanted to see the owner came to the door.
Lu Yao asked Gan Ying and Chen You to look after the customers in the operation room, and followed Huang Qi to the lobby.
Standing at the door were Xu Zhengrong and Ren You, and behind them was a young girl wearing a restraint.
There were several registered customers sitting in the lobby, looking at Xu Zhengrong and his group with wary eyes.
Lu Yao also felt a little strange: "Is there something wrong?"
Xu Zhengrong looked around the store, pulled Lu Yao out, and whispered under the eaves outside the door: "Jiang Lin has woken up." Lu
Yao nodded: "How is the situation?"
Xu Zhengrong: "Just as you said. After he woke up, he stayed in the meditation room for a day and no longer showed any symptoms of mutation. It's like... he has never been mutated."
What Xu Zhengrong didn't say was that the church had become a mess because of this incident. It was already strange enough that the mutation state stopped, but Jiang Lin could actually recover to his original appearance.
Lu Yao thought: "What is the Quiet Room?"
Xu Zhengrong: "The Quiet Room is a special room in the church. People who show symptoms of alienation will be sent to the Quiet Room for final observation before they are transferred."
The church on Ghost Street was originally just a place to receive aliens.
After all, the church is the same place as the Street Management Office and the Street Committee, which are places set aside by Him to serve Him.
But about two or three months ago, a strange room suddenly appeared at the end of the first-floor corridor of the church.
The staff of the church found that in this room, the alienation of the aliens would turn to two extremes - some people would accelerate their alienation in the Quiet Room, while others would slow down their alienation.
Later, this room was arranged as a quiet room. All the mutants taken in by the church would be "calmed" in the quiet room for 24 to 48 hours, and finally decide whether to transfer them depending on the situation.
However, the role of the quiet room is at most to delay the time of mutants' mutation. People who show symptoms of mutation will eventually be transferred, and the result has not actually changed.
But the situation of Liu Jing and Jiang Lin is completely different. Not only did they stop the mutation, but they also recovered.
Lu Yao frowned slightly: "Where will they be transferred to in the end?"
Xu Zhengrong: "The thirteenth floor on the top floor of the street committee office building. That is the final destination of the mutants, and it is also our destination."
Lu Yao understood.
No wonder no one approaches that building easily.
In other words, the 13th floor of the office building is His dining table.
However, what about the staff in the office lobby on the first floor of the office building?
The staff all look like mutants, but they still have consciousness.
The meditation room that suddenly appeared in the church is also a bit worrying.
Lu Yao suppressed his wandering thoughts and looked at Xu Zhengrong again: "You shouldn't just come here to tell me this news today, right?"
Xu Zhengrong turned sideways and let the strange girl wearing a restraint come forward.
Xu Zhengrong: "Her name is Du Xiao. She used to be a staff member of the North District Street Management Office. Not long ago, she showed symptoms of mutation."
Lu Yao: "So?"
Xu Zhengrong lowered his eyes: "She stayed in the meditation room for two days. She mutated faster than before, but her symptoms showed that she was mentally deficient. She was diagnosed as a ghost. After discussing with the higher-ups, Director Qin decided to send her to the DIY hut to try to save her."
Lu Yao thought of the can of good luck candy sent by the management office, and had a guess in his mind: "Being diagnosed as a ghost because of mental deficiency means that she will become a white ghost after mutation, and the other direction of mutation is a golden octopus?"
Xu Zhengrong nodded.
Lu Yao looked at Du Xiao carefully, and his expression gradually became subtle.
The young woman had a pair of clear and innocent eyes, and they looked very similar to the new female clerk in her shop...
Thinking of this, Lu Yao had a bad premonition in her mind, and she turned around and walked quickly into the store.
She heard the exclamation coming from the No. 2 operation classroom in the corridor, paused, and reached out to push open the door.
At some point, all the customers in the operation classroom gathered around the two operation tables in the middle. Chen You and Gan Ying moved a little closer to the crowd and stood at the back.
Lu Yao raised her hand and knocked on the door twice, attracting everyone to look sideways. She also saw the situation at the two operation tables in the middle. While the
cake base is baking, the customers should be whipping the cream according to the steps and preparing the fruits to decorate the cake later.
The workbench on the left in the middle was filled with "doughs" of various colors, and the workbench on the right had whipped butter, which was spread on the plastic mat used for kneading dough in a variety of colors. The yellow and purple covered the entire table, which looked quite nice.
The customer held a scraper in his hand and continued to paint on the mat, left and right, and even sighed pretentiously: "I haven't touched a paintbrush for two years, my hands are rusty."
The customer opposite him was kneading the handmade fondant cake diligently: "I have to prepare it here too, and make some wives later."
Lu Yao: "..."
This was a path she had never imagined.
The two were not afraid to see Lu Yao, and said frankly that they came here to do handicrafts. After all, they paid the money, and they should not be blamed for using baking materials to paint or make wives.
Lu Yao: "In principle, it is like this. But today is a baking experience activity, please respect the food a little."
The customer who was still drawing with a scraper said casually: "It's all data anyway, there is no such thing as wasting food, what's wrong with playing around?"
The others nodded.
Data? What do you mean?
Lu Yao recalled that Jiang Lin had said something similar during the trial operation. He had said that the store owner used holographic technology to recreate the fireworks display, and his words showed that he was not surprised by the existence of holographic technology.
So there was only one possibility, that this world had already developed holographic technology.
But Lu Yao had not seen any store on Ghost Street using this technology.
The store owner fell into thought and did not speak for a while.
Song Wen, who was standing in the crowd, couldn't help but say, "The food in the store may not be data."
The customer who was painting sneered, "How can it be real food if it's not data?" Song
Wen raised his eyelids and glanced at Lu Yao, with a slightly puzzled tone, "It sounds strange, but I think it's like this. If you don't believe it, take a bite and you'll understand." Seeing
the lively customers, he was a little tempted. He walked back to his own operating table and tasted the cream that he had just whipped according to the tutorial. It was sweet and soft like a cloud, sweet with a light milky fragrance, fresh and real, and completely different from the food on Ghost Street that was mixed with too many electronic additives.
Xu Zhengrong stood at the door, feeling a little anxious.
They originally wanted to conceal the news and investigate secretly, but the special features of this store could not be concealed at all.
It was only the first day of business, and the specialness of the food was discovered.
The customers who were busy and lively stopped, turned sideways and looked at Lu Yao quietly.
Lu Yao smiled: "This is also one of our selling points, focusing on the ultra-realistic DIY experience."
Customer: "..."
After a long silence, the customer's face changed a little, and when he looked at the cake being baked in the oven, there was a little more real expectation in his slightly numb eyes.
The customer who had just used cream to paint stopped showing off his skills, and kept eating the cream in the small bowl with a spatula. He became more and more wild as he ate, and he was so drunk that he just picked up the bowl to scoop it out. The customer who
was making fondant cake was still kneading the dough, and called out to Lu Yao: "Owner, I want two more ingredients, no, five."
The others responded.
"Shopkeeper, I'll add one more portion, no, two portions of ingredients."
"I'll add two portions of ingredients too."
"Three!!!"
Lu Yao thought she had made sufficient preparations, but in less than five minutes, all sixty-six portions of ingredients were bought by customers.
The customers did not sit around and watch the excitement, and began to mix the batter frantically, preparing to make the second batch of cake bases.
Lu Yao could understand this sudden feeling of being overwhelmed, but after spending money to buy so many ingredients, the finished product would probably not be eaten in a short time. Fortunately, she still had the snack bar's special lunch boxes in her warehouse.
One ghost coin for a lunch box, fresh and environmentally friendly, and she would see if there were any customers who needed it later.
Gan Ying and Chen You returned to the corners at both ends of the classroom. After guessing where they came from, Lu Yao did not dare to walk too far. He stood at the door of the operation classroom and continued to talk with Xu Zhengrong about what they had not finished just now.
