216 A long day on the road
◎ Magical Continent. ◎
The outer packaging of the mooncakes of DIY House is macaron-colored paper, which is particularly eye-catching at first glance. The middle is transparent, and the appearance of the mooncake can be seen.
After understanding the meaning and history of mooncakes, Lin He and Shu Niannian found the ancient pattern that is closest to the meaning of "reunion" in the history of Tomorrow City. Based on this, they designed a mold for DIY House's exclusive mooncakes, and the taste is based on the taste of traditional mooncakes in Yaoguang City.
They are still not very confident about the food culture of Tomorrow City.
The customer who passed the level held up the mooncake and looked at it carefully for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "I saw this pattern in a book when I was a child. It seems to have some meaning... Hey... I can't remember it suddenly. You actually used it on pastries, which is quite interesting."
A voice came from the crowd of onlookers: "No matter how beautiful it looks, the taste is just so-so."
"But this little prop called 'treasure map' is really interesting." Lu
Yao immediately said loudly: "The mooncakes produced by our shop are different from the pre-made life-sustaining meals in Tomorrow City. The taste is not inferior to the exquisite appearance. Moreover, the treasure maze has twelve levels, corresponding to twelve different flavors of mooncake rewards. They come from twelve areas, and each has its own flavor."
The owner has absolute say in Ghost Street, Even though she directly criticized the food culture of Tomorrow City, the customers did not react strongly, and some even agreed with her.
In the past decade, Tomorrow City has been overly pursuing technological development, high-efficiency production, and a business model without sales, which has led to a large reduction in labor. Not only has the city's development model changed, but people's lives have also been greatly affected invisibly.
There are so many snack bars on the street, but the taste is exactly the same, without any personality, just like them who have gradually become bland under the torrent of life.
Stimulated by the owner's straightforward words, the customers are more looking forward to the treasure map event.
In fact, many of them heard of moon cakes for the first time, thinking that it was just a snack.
Even if they come from twelve regions, how different can the same snack be?
With such questions in mind, customers stood up and lined up in front of the vending machine. Some people used ghost bracelets to exchange for treasure maps. Lu Yao
came out of the DIY hut, crossed the road again, and walked to the nail salon opposite.
Emerald Town has been developing more and more lively this year. The nail salon is well-known. Two days ago, it went to big cities with teleportation arrays to distribute event flyers. It is estimated that there are already many customers in the store.
Lu Yao pushed the door and entered the store. As expected, there were already many customers in the store.
Dozens of human nail artists were doing daily event nail art for customers, and the waiting area was also full of people.
The magic nail customization room separated by a wall was also full of customers who consulted about the event magic nail art.
The nail salon is a well-balanced store among the many stores on the shopping street. The staff are all top talents. They are also very eager to learn and can always accept new things quickly.
Even if Harold, Tina and Si Jin went to another store, the other staff also organized the event very well, and there was nothing to complain about. Lu
Yao walked around the store and only did some trivial things such as adding tea and snacks.
There was a crisp sound of bells outside the door, and several gorgeous carriages stopped at the door of the store. Several young ladies dressed in extremely luxurious clothes got out of the carriages.
Mrs. Sid walked in front, and before entering the door, she slightly turned her head and looked back at the young ladies behind her, revealing an expression of impatience: "This is the best nail salon in Alexandria. The arrogant nail salon in the city can't compare at all."
Most of the young ladies were born in noble families in Onorton City. The husband of the youngest lady was also a viscount.
They had never been to a remote town like Emerald Town, and they didn't think that a nail salon in such a small place was anything special.
Since Lu Yao opened a nail salon in Emerald Town a year and a half ago, it has opened a new door to nail salons for people in Alexandria.
Not long after the nail salon became popular, some people naturally saw the huge business opportunities in it, and many people began to imitate and learn.
At first, some people wanted to take over Luyao's nail salon, but when they learned that there were dragons staying in the store, as well as high-level demons such as necromancers and vampires, these people kept a low profile, pretending to be customers to learn from the store, and then opened stores in other cities.
Half a year later, many new nail salons imitating Luyao's began to appear in different cities, and their novel nail dyeing styles and designs quickly won the favor of customers.
In recent months, the most popular nail dyeing shop in Onoton City is a forest witch's shop.
Mrs. Sid, as a loyal customer of Luyao Nail Salon, heard about it while having dinner with other ladies, and chose a time to go to the store to experience it. She then found that most of the nail styles in the Forest Witch's nail salon were low-end imitations of Luyao's nail salon, but the price of a set was more expensive than the original store.
Mrs. Sid couldn't help but sneer, and was asked to leave the store by the nail artist.
Since then, Mrs. Sid has not been to the Forest Witch's shop for a long time.
She occasionally thinks of this incident, but she is still very angry, but it is difficult to complain to other ladies.
Later, Mrs. Sid also intentionally or unintentionally showed her nail art at the banquet. After seeing it, some ladies actually ran to the Forest Witch to make similar styles for them.
Mrs. Sid was so angry that she could hardly speak after knowing it.
Anne went home and heard that her mother was very angry about this matter. She comforted her mother, "Luyao's shop not only does daily manicures, but also studies combat manicures. They are too busy to handle it. Besides, even if the witch can imitate the style, she can't make magic manicures. Magic manicures are Luyao's greatest creation in the magic world."
Mrs. Sid, who has no magic power, also made two sets of magic manicures in Luyao's shop.
Even an ordinary person like her can cast one or two simple magics with magic manicures.
She listened to Anne's words and gradually let go of this knot in her heart.
It happened that Luyao's nail salon was holding an event this time, and the flyers were sent to the city of Onorton. Mrs. Sid got an idea after receiving the flyers. She wanted to take the young ladies in the city who didn't know about Luyao's nail salon to the real No. 1 nail salon to have a look.
The young ladies got out of the car and stood at the door of the nail salon, looking around, hesitating.
"This shop looks small and not as beautiful and clean as the witch's shop."
"It sounds so noisy inside, and the environment is not private enough."
"Why don't we go back? The witch shop owner told me two days ago that the shop will have new styles today."
No matter how well-mannered Mrs. Sid was, she could hardly keep her smile.
Lu Yao came out of the store and saw a group of people at the door. He immediately greeted them with a smile: "Mrs. Sid, what a rare guest."
Mrs. Sid saw Lu Yao and let out a long breath without leaving any trace. She took two quick steps and held Lu Yao's hand: "I am so lucky today. I didn't expect the owner to be here too."
Lu Yao chatted with Mrs. Sid intimately for a few words before looking at the other guests standing by: "Are these beautiful ladies your friends?"
Mrs. Sid nodded reluctantly.
Just now, she actually didn't want to have close friends with these ladies anymore. Lu Yao
said familiarly, "It just so happens that there is an event in the store today. Since you are a regular customer of our store, you can get a 50% discount on your nails. You can also redeem the points you have earned for your purchases for a treasure map."
Before Mrs. Xide could reply, a lady who was traveling with him stepped forward and raised her voice to ask, "What treasure map?" Lu Yao
stepped aside half a step and smiled mysteriously, "You will know when you enter the store."
The ladies immediately straightened their postures, restrained their expressions, but walked honestly.
Mrs. Xide took Lu Yao's arm and walked in front with her head raised.
The ladies looked at each other and followed him into the store.
Lu Yao's nail salon is indeed not big, and the facade is also simple and elegant, but it is very different when you enter the store.
The floor is covered with thick non-slip carpets, and the wall pillars are inlaid with gems, including emeralds, pigeon blood red gems, amethysts, blue crystals, fortune crystals... and various magic gems scattered among them, and the wall pillars shine like rainbows.
There are indeed many people in the store, but the waiting area and the work area are clearly separated. There are comfortable sofas at the entrance, as well as books, snacks, and chess and cards to kill time.
There is no need to introduce too much. When several ladies entered the store, they noticed that the decoration style of this store is somewhat similar to that of the forest witch's store in Onorton City.
But it is obvious that the furniture and decorations in the forest witch's store are mostly imitations, while the interior decoration of this ordinary store in Emerald Town is all real high-end goods.
The extremely rare high-end magic stones in the city were casually placed on the table as decorations, and the sofa was made of a whole piece of high-end monster skin...
These were just the furs. When the ladies saw the style pictures in the store, they could even make animated nail art, and they couldn't help but exclaim that they were eye-opening.
Alexandria is indeed a land of magic, but animated nail art styles and magic nail art are new products developed by Lu Yao based on his own life experience and combined with magic. It is indeed difficult for ordinary magicians to figure it out in a short time.
When Lu Yao opened a nail salon, the furniture in the store was actually very ordinary, and some of them were even bought from the second-hand market.
The foreign shop assistants have been in the store for a long time and have their own aesthetic taste. Today I want to do this, tomorrow he will do that. Over time, the style of the store has become more and more luxurious.
However, everyone said that the things in the store are worthless and inferior, so they don't feel bad even if they are lost, so Lu Yao didn't care.
A lady who came with Mrs. Sid pulled Lu Yao over and kept clicking on the styles on the tablet: "I want this set, this set, and this set."
Eugenia came over: "Owner, let me do it."
Lu Yao immediately introduced: "Eugenia is one of the best manicurists in our store. If you have any personal preferences, you can communicate with her."
Mrs. Sid had already exchanged the treasure map and came over to pull Lu Yao: "This thing is new, I don't even know how to play it."
Lu Yao pulled Mrs. Sid to sit down in the waiting area: "You were born in the magic continent, I suggest you choose the magician camp."
Mrs. Sid: "But I don't have magic power."
Lu Yao: "It doesn't matter, this is just a relaxing little game."
In the lower left corner of the map, there is a camp selection area corresponding to the twelve identities.
Mrs. Sid chose the magician camp according to Lu Yao's suggestion.
The map that seemed like a dead object just now came alive, and the terrain began to change. Mountains and rivers appeared on the flat map, as if it was an infinitely reduced real world.
On this map, twelve levels were randomly generated.
There was a red, flashing dot on the map.
Lu Yao pointed to the dot and said, "This is your current position. You can pass the level by completing the level task and get an exclusive gift for the nail salon's Mid-Autumn Festival event."
Mrs. Sid was a little nervous, but the first level had already been opened.
Task description: Quick questions and answers, a total of ten questions, you can pass the level if you answer seven questions correctly.
Question 1: Why was the seventeenth leader of the Holy Knights promoted to the Knight Leader?
Mrs. Sid's face relaxed. It turned out that they wanted to test her kingdom's history, which was not difficult for her. There were
ten questions involving history, art, business, and even magic. Mrs. Sid answered all of them correctly. The
ladies sitting on the side were just watching the excitement at first, but now they looked at Mrs. Sid in surprise, as if they knew for the first time that this shrewd and cunning lady was so knowledgeable.
Mrs. Sid was also full of emotion. She learned a lot of things when she was young, but she didn't use them when she grew up and got married. Now she found a sense of accomplishment in such a small object.
She acted according to the text prompts on the map and drew a hexagram at the reward collection point.
A few seconds later, a palm-sized black treasure chest emerged from under the map.
The treasure chest contained a mooncake exclusive to the nail salon.
The mooncakes in the nail salon still have the same three-dimensional appearance as last year, with various shapes such as dragons, bats, slimes, fairies, and demons.
The magic molds developed by the alien shop assistants themselves no longer need to be pinched one by one by hand, which can be said to have solved the contradiction between beauty and efficiency in one move.
Lu Yao always adheres to the principle of keeping ten bowls of water even in the store. The number of mooncakes in the shape of aliens is consistent, and the insufficient number is supplemented by mooncakes in the shape of three-headed humans.
It depends on personal luck which appearance and flavor the customer can draw.
However, this year everyone has put a lot of effort into the taste and texture of the mooncakes, which is definitely different from last year's experience.
The mooncake that Mrs. Sid got was a beautiful little golden dragon.
The golden dragon represents wealth, and Mrs. Sid likes it very much.
The ladies who came with Mrs. Sid were attracted by the gameplay of the treasure map and were full of envy.
Because they were new customers, they didn't have points to redeem the treasure map. After sitting down to get their nails done, they frequently saw regular customers coming to the store to redeem the treasure map. It was a torture.
The new manicure was beautiful.
But they also wanted the treasure map.
The funniest thing was that the ladies were reluctant to leave after getting their nails done, and they met the forest witch who came from a distant nail salon to do magic manicures at the door.
