147 The ninth store!
◎It seems like they have received a new stock. ◎
Lu Yao noticed something the first time she ate the candy given by Cai Yuxing.
She had worked with Team 1041 and Harold in Night Light City to redevelop the Z-system technology, which later became the holographic technology. She was very familiar with the projection defects caused by data loss due to inaccurate sampling.
Most of the snack bars on Ghost Street look delicious, and you can smell the tempting aroma from a long distance, but they are bland when you really eat them.
Vision can transmit information to the brain in the most intuitive way. Smell is a molecule that is relatively easy to capture. It is not difficult to combine the picture and smell to present an illusion of color and fragrance.
However, the taste and real taste of food are actually quite difficult to present with the full range of technology.
The first version of the holographic projection hall of the Super Space Cinema also needs to use special props to enhance the experience, including the enhanced perception of the taste, texture and temperature changes of food.
The first feeling Lu Yao had about the poor-tasting food on Ghost Street was that the data collection was not sufficient and the projection defects appeared.
Later, customers in the store also mentioned the data, which deepened Lu Yao's guess.
The special space left by the dream-fulfilling system was like the materialized data fragments peeling off, which also confirmed Lu Yao's idea bit by bit.
After all, the owner had just launched the first holographic cultivation background online game in the Super Space Internet Cafe, and was no stranger to the game scenes and experience presented by holographic technology.
If you regard the guests of Ghost Street as game players, and the shops and stores on Ghost Street as NPCs who provide players with various survival items, things will immediately become easy to understand.
However, there is another alien existence on this street - an alien who calls himself a god and takes pleasure in guiding the human spirit into depravity.
There is only one real rule on Ghost Street - guests and merchants are just his toys.
However, according to Lu Yao's understanding, he is undoubtedly the big boss of this game.
If Ghost Street is really a holographic game, as a game, its biggest failure is the imbalance of power. Players have no gameplay mechanism and weapons that can compete with the big boss.
However, there are no restrictions on the gameplay on this street, so the next idea is clearer.
Find a way to rebuild the game mechanism, explore new playability of this game, and give passers-by players a powerful counterattack weapon.
As for why Ghost Street exists, whether there are other bigger entanglements behind it, Lu Yao does not consider it for the time being.
According to the information left by the Dream Fulfilling System, it is very likely that it is no longer in Ghost Street.
It reminds Lu Yao not to use the phone and the Internet in the game, which means that he can obtain information through the communicator and the Internet. The Internet is very likely the channel for him to eavesdrop and monitor human actions.
The system mentioned the exit again. Perhaps only by finding the exit can we reach its true location.
It is possible to find the legendary exit by completing the game. Even if there is no channel to complete the game, continuing to develop stores is also an important means of collecting intelligence.
Pei Qi's appearance was a surprise in Lu Yao's plan. This person seemed to know some inside information, but it was obvious that his favorability was not high enough to make him reveal the information.
Lu Yao had just observed the three volunteers during the training. Pei Qi's hands-on and social skills were slightly insufficient, but he was still useful, so he was kept by his side to improve his favorability.
Lu Yao began to organize his thoughts on the way back from the church. When he returned to the store, he met Liu Jing and Cai Yuxing. He had successfully recruited people, and the business ideas behind the DIY hut also needed some adjustments.
However, all of these must be done step by step, and one must not be impatient.
Pei Qi was speechless.
He had been observing the young shop owner along the way, and thought it would not be difficult to take the initiative in the topic. However, she had not only guessed the truth about Ghost Street, but was also not shocked.
He was at a loss for a moment, not knowing how to continue.
Lu Yao waited for a while, and seeing that Pei Qi didn't want to say anything, he said directly: "If there is nothing else, let's leave it at that for today."
Lu Yao was thinking about modifying the store's business philosophy, and he almost didn't have the patience to play dumb with the new clerk.
Pei Qi felt inexplicably frustrated.
The bait had been thrown out, but she was not curious at all.
Lu Yao didn't want to let Pei Qi stay in the store, so he sent him away before the closing time of Ghost Street.
There are hotels on the street, so Pei Qi doesn't have to sleep on the street.
Lu Yao also gave him a pendant with a ruler as a warning.
Lu Yao got inspiration from the half-body certificate given to her by the gods. In the last battle to kill gods, she tried to give half of the Ruler of Discipline to Ji Zhixin to act on her behalf. Now she is proficient in using this skill.
However, the Ruler of Discipline that Lu Yao gave to the new employees only served as a talisman. It was equivalent to placing a real anchor in this ambiguous world of reality and virtuality, like a lighthouse, always guiding them not to lose their way.
Pei Qi left in a daze.
Lu Yao closed the store door again and returned to the mustard seed, seizing the time to modify the subsequent activities of the store.
Until the new plan was completed, Lu Yao came out of the mustard seed space, and carried out an emergency upgrade of the equipment in the operation classroom, and then returned to the hot spring hotel to rest late at night.
At seven o'clock the next day, Lu Yao arrived at the DIY hut on time, opened the door and prepared to open for business. There were
quite a few people standing at the door, which scared Lu Yao.
There are usually few people in Youling Street in the early morning. Even in the North District, there are rarely so many people early in the morning. The
people waiting at the door saw the DIY hut finally open and shouted excitedly.
"It's open, it's this one!"
"It's finally open. It opens at six o'clock. I've been waiting for an hour."
"Sign in, boss, I want to sign in!" Lu Yao
was confused. The customer came too early, but he still stepped aside and let the customer in.
In addition to the crowd, three shop assistants and volunteers had also arrived and followed the crowd into the store.
Seeing that Lu Yao was a little upset, Liu Jing pulled her aside and said, "Yesterday, someone was selling desserts made in a DIY hut on the street. Cream cupcakes, Swiss rolls, fondant cakes, strawberry boxes... Those desserts tasted so good that they have attracted attention in various areas. These customers were attracted by the desserts they bought."
Lu Yao's eyes widened slightly, slowly digesting the information in Liu Jing's words.
The DIY hut actually became a middleman, which was a development that had never been thought of before.
Lu Yao was thinking about how to improve the "game environment" of Ghost Street without deviating from the business direction of the store last night, which provided her with a new idea. After
the store officially opened, two more waves of customers came. Lu Yao saw Grandma Xu and Song Wen who made cupcakes yesterday, the young man who used cream to paint Swiss rolls, and the uncle who made fondant cakes also came.
These guys all smiled when they saw Lu Yao, and they were eager to try. It didn't seem like they were here to experience handmade baking, but rather to purchase goods.
Lu Yao thought about it and found it interesting. He asked Huang Qi and Pei Qi to arrange customer registration. Because they had recruited new employees, they could open two classrooms at a time today and receive more customers.
On the first day on the job, Liu Jing and Cai Yuxing were together, and Lu Yao still asked Gan Ying and Chen You to follow her.
In order to prevent emergencies like yesterday, Lu Yao released two shadow butterflies, one watching Huang Qi in the front lobby, and the other patrolling the corridor. Lu
Yao also took out the flying live broadcast device used when she opened the snack bar, and placed it at the operation classroom and the bathroom door to ensure that she can control the vision and situation in the store at any time.
The DIY activity on the second day was still related to food, and the theme was Chinese breakfast.
The theme of food is also an enduring topic in Lu Yao's shopping street.
There are too many foodies among the customers and store clerks, which urges several chefs to rack their brains to study the dishes and taste.
When choosing the theme of "Chinese breakfast", Lu Yao communicated with the chefs of snack bars, furry shops and hot spring hotels, and finally chose steamed buns, stuffed buns and wontons as examples of the Chinese breakfast DIY experience.
The soft and hot steamed buns, the fragrant stuffed buns, and a bowl of fresh and light wontons make you drool just thinking about it.
Lu Yao rushed to install a smart display on the control console used by guests last night. It was not connected to the Internet, and only the teaching video was copied to it using a data card.
The teaching videos used in the DIY huts are from the store staff of the shopping street, and the food making videos are shot by chefs. There will be technical DIY experience activities in the future, which will be shot by foreign store staff and Lu Yao. This is a later story.
Today is still the most common food making experience. Guests watch the teaching videos by themselves, choose a food they are interested in according to their preferences, and then register with the instructor to receive the ingredients.
Compared with the first day, the workload of the instructor has been reduced, the flexibility of the guest experience has been improved, and the operation classroom is very lively.
Within an hour, the hot fragrance began to fill the classroom.
The steamed buns swelled in the steamer, giving off an alluring aroma. The beef, leek and egg, and purple potato stuffed buns were fried to golden brown on both sides and neatly placed on a rack above a flat-bottomed pan to drain the oil. The boiling water in the pan was bubbling, and the wontons were rolling in the water like goldfish dragging their tails. The edges of the dough gradually became transparent, and the unique fragrance of pasta was also emitting.
The hustle and bustle in the classroom turned into smoke, curling around and floating out through the window slits.
Gan Ying and Chen You, who were standing at both ends of the classroom, were attracted by the aroma and couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
There are repeat customers who succeeded in making buns for the first time and gave them to the customers sitting next to them for tasting. They received unanimous praise and immediately came to Lu Yao to buy ingredients, as if they wanted to start a bun business.
Lu Yao just pretended not to know what they were thinking and sold ingredients to customers as usual.
The amount of ingredients is fixed and there is a time limit for the experience. Even if customers want to stock up, they can only use up to five portions of ingredients in one experience class.
Song Wen came to Lu Yao again to buy packaging boxes: "Shopkeeper, please bring thirty lunch boxes for wontons."
A customer who was experiencing it for the first time was puzzled: "Can you cook the wontons and take them away? Then they will all clump together."
Song Wen shook his head: "The lunch boxes in the DIY hut are a bit like storage bags. The food in them can be kept warm and fresh without clumping together."
The customer who asked the question was stunned: "Then why not just put it in the storage bag?"
"It can't hold too much." Song Wen blinked: "Besides, it's safer to hold the things in the DIY hut in your hands."
Storage bags are similar to the equipment grids in general online games.
Everyone who comes to Ghost Street has a storage bag with them, but the capacity is limited and they can't hold too many things.
In addition, they occasionally lose things. Experienced customers would rather carry important items with them than put them in the storage bags provided by Ghost Street.
Lu Yao actually also has that portable storage bag, which can only be opened in Ghost Street, but she has her own portable warehouse and Qiankun bag, so she has never opened the portable storage bag in Ghost Street.
Everyone has a portable storage bag, so Liu Jing and others were not surprised when they saw Lu Yao take out items out of thin air at the beginning.
Lu Yao listened and took out 30 lunch boxes and handed them to Song Wen. After registering them in the notebook, he took a card introducing hidden services and handed it over: "Large-capacity storage bags, can be customized in my store."
Song Wen looked down at the card, a glimmer passed through his eyes, and then he looked up and stared at Lu Yao for a while, without saying a word, took the lunch box and turned back to the operating table.
After the thirty boxes of wontons were packed, Song Wen came over again and whispered to Lu Yao: "Are the large-capacity storage bags in the store really usable on Ghost Street?"
Lu Yao recalled the procedure for setting up the holographic online game equipment list in the Internet cafe and nodded: "Not difficult."
Song Wen: "What's the price? When can I get the goods?"
Lu Yao: "Six-grid storage bags, each grid can hold thirty identical items, the customization fee is 880 Ghost Coins, and the goods will be delivered in three days."
Song Wen's eyes lit up, but he quickly controlled his emotions: "I'll customize one first."
When the DIY hut was in trial operation, Song Wen and his grandmother came to the store and tried to make fireworks.
Two days after the official opening, they also patronized for two consecutive days. They were considered the first batch of customers who noticed the special features of this store.
However, Song Wen still found it incredible that there might be a storage bag that was independent of the Ghost Street system. At this time, he just wanted to give it a try.
After placing the order for the hidden service, he did not say anything. He returned to the operating table, took a few bowls of wontons, and continued to exchange buns and stuffed cakes with the guests next door.
The guests sat around the table eating their own breakfast, occasionally chatting casually. The small classroom was even busier than the street outside the wall.
The bell rang, and the experience time was over. The guests were already satisfied with the meal, and they stood up one after another, carrying piles of food boxes and walked out of the classroom.
The activities of the DIY hut are more focused on the experience process. Lu Yao did not squeeze the time too much. There was just one experience class in the morning, afternoon and evening. The
experience activity in the afternoon starts at 1:30. After registering at the front desk, guests can move freely. Just rush to the store before the activity starts, so as not to wait in the store anxiously.
Lu Yao asked Gan Ying and Chen You to clean the operation classroom, and took Liu Jing and Cai Yuxing to the warehouse to organize the materials for the next experience class.
The consumption of materials is a little more serious than Lu Yao expected, but the store has just opened, and business is a good sign. The warehouse is fully stocked, so there is no need to worry for the time being.
———
Youling Street, South District Street.
Song Wen and Grandma Xu got off the bus carrying two stacks of wontons, steamed buns, and stuffed cakes. The wontons were made by Grandma Xu, and the steamed buns and stuffed cakes were exchanged with others in the classroom.
One bowl of wontons can be exchanged for three steamed buns, or three stuffed cakes.
Song Wen exchanged 18 steamed buns and 18 stuffed cakes with others, keeping some for himself and his grandmother, and preparing to sell all the rest.
The grandfather and grandson walked to the intersection where they sold cupcakes yesterday, put the things on the table and started to sell.
"Freshly baked thin-skinned meat buns, sweet bean paste buns, large stuffed cakes with crispy skin and full fillings, hot fresh meat wontons, special food to prevent getting lost, ninety-nine ghost coins, all for only ninety-nine, there are not many, we will leave when they are sold out!"
Prevent getting lost?
What kind of hellish joke is this?
People passing by only felt that the atmosphere on this street was getting more and more sinister. The scammers could even come up with such a trick.
Song Wen didn't care about the eyes of passers-by. He broke open a red bean paste bun and gave half to grandma. The old and the young sat on the curb, biting the buns and chatting.
They had actually eaten their fill in the DIY hut a long time ago. This was just a small strategy to sell goods.
The food produced in the DIY hut smelled far less exaggerated than the snacks on Ghost Street. It didn't have the special bonus of fragrant ten miles. It looked ordinary, but Song Wen and Grandma Xu didn't sit on the roadside for too long before the prepared food was sold out.
Fang Cong walked out of the office building of the South District Sub-district Administration Office and saw Chen Huisheng holding two bags in his hands. His eyebrows slightly wrinkled: "What is this?"
Chen Huisheng smiled awkwardly: "I just saw the wontons, buns, and stuffed cakes sold by the two grandparents on the roadside. They looked very delicious, so I bought two."
Chen Huisheng did not dare to say the "anti-lost" advertising slogan.
After Liu Jing left the North District Sub-district Administration Office, he began to work with Fang Cong.
Just now, he was standing on the roadside waiting for Fang Cong to come down. When he was a little confused, he heard the hawking from the intersection and suddenly woke up.
Chen Huisheng was scared for a while, and when he heard the words "anti-lost", he immediately walked over and bought two.
He didn't really believe that this food could prevent him from getting lost. Anyway, it was time for dinner, so he had to eat something.
Fang Cong looked unhappy, and without saying much, he took the paper bag and found a cool place to sit down: "Eat first and then go back."
Chen Huisheng also sat down and asked casually: "Didn't you finish the negotiation?"
"Well..." Fang Cong felt that the wontons burned his hands, so he put them at his feet, picked up the bun and took a bite, his tone suddenly lengthened, and his eyes were fixed on one place, almost not moving.
Chen Huisheng turned his head and looked over, a little scared: "Fang Cong?"
Fang Cong took two bites of the bun, picked up the filling and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it for a few times, turned around and grabbed Chen Huisheng and asked: "Where did you buy these things just now?"
