Chapter 193 A Happy Decision
This story has to start from the beginning.
Ever since the guests staying at the hotel discovered that Manager Zhichang had started cleaning the perimeter, mushrooms that could be picked up have become a hot commodity. Groups of people followed the lawn mower and picked up mushrooms wherever the truck went.
The land here is fertile and there are so many mushrooms that even the two brothers Bai Zuo and Bai You picked up several bags.
Zhang Lei even volunteered to drive a lawn mower for the hotel to weed for free, as he discovered the mutants wouldn't attack drivers (something Xia Yan had specifically enabled).
Xia Yan naturally would not refuse the customer's kindness, and she had more important things to do.
In the next few days, Xia Yan began to place outdoor dining tables, parasols, swings and slides for children to play on the lawn.
If you want new customers to spend their points here, in addition to satisfying their food and drink needs, you also have to make their children reluctant to leave.
Zhang Lei did not drive along the original route to expand the range, but shoveled here and there, and wherever there were mushrooms, there was lawn.
The people following behind him were neither as sharp-eyed nor as fast as him, so they could only watch enviously as Zhang Lei filled bag after bag with packaging.
At first everyone was trying to bear it, but later they couldn't bear it anymore and ran to Xia Yan to complain.
Xia Yan touched his chin and quickly made a happy decision - buy 10 more lawn mowers! The premise is that they must be returned in the same condition as they were borrowed.
She asked Zhichang to give the car to the customers and then studied the menu of the outdoor restaurant with her.
Zhichang wrote down in a notebook all the dishes that customers might like. He and his boss couldn't make up their minds, so he found Lin and listened to her suggestions to make some cuts and modifications. In the end, they decided on pan-fried mushrooms, onion soup, Provençal stew, shepherd's pie, garlic pasta, etc.
According to Lin, the ingredients for these dishes can be found on various farms and are most suitable for opening a restaurant.
When Xia Yan heard that there were ingredients outside, the profiteer nature of the boss was activated. She approved three days of leave for Zhikang, took out the delivery truck, and asked him to take Lin out for a walk.
In fact, the task secretly given to him was to ask Lin which vegetables were edible, and it would be best if she could remember where the vegetables grew.
The takeaway car has a protective function, the people on it will not be attacked by zombies, and the safety of customers can be guaranteed.
On the second sunny day, Zhikang set off with Lin, who was smiling happily.
Bai Zuo and Bai You drove a lawn mower behind the electric car. Whenever the car in front stopped, they would stop as well and pick up whatever was in front.
With the long sound of brakes, they turned around suddenly and found that they were not the only ones following them.
The two looked at each other and shrugged. It seemed that they were both smart people.
Qi's mother and father were trying to clean up the mushrooms and vegetables they had harvested in the past few days on the lawn.
Without water or tools, cleaning is very difficult.
Boss Xia was directing her employees to clean up grass clippings and wipe the table. When she turned around, she saw two people in trouble.
Xia Yan's eyes lit up. Isn't this another opportunity to make a fortune?
She bought another vending machine from the mall, which sold small fruit knives, bamboo strips, backpacks and other utensils.
Xia Yan called Xiong Xiong and built another large sink and operating table in the safe zone. The charge was 5 points per half hour, and an additional charge would be made if the water usage exceeded the specified amount.
She guessed that customers might want to dry and preserve them, so she bought a plastic sealing machine and only charged a processing fee each time.
She waved over an employee and asked her to tell Qi's father and mother that there were tools for sale here.
Since the new customers came, a lot of juice and ice cream are sold every day, and there are always customers in the buffet restaurant and cinema.
To cater to the children's preferences, she added candies and cookies to the vending machines, and there is also a vending machine that sells beer.
Customers who are tired of watching movies upstairs will run outside, sit on the dining chairs, enjoy the breeze, drink cold beer, and enjoy the rare leisure.
In the evening, Zhigang returned with a full load, and there were twelve lawn mowers following the delivery truck.
"Boss, I'm back." After greeting her, Zhikang helped Xia Lin to rest on the dining chair, and began to unload the bulging packaging bags from the car.
Xia Yan smiled and nodded at Lin as a gesture. She walked to Zhikang, opened the package and looked at the various vegetables inside.
"Here is another bag of fruit. We went to a park today and there were many fruit trees there that were bearing fruit, but the car was too small and we couldn't take many." Zhikang opened the bag, revealing fruits of various colors inside.
"Lin said all of these are edible. There are raspberries, grapefruits, various persimmons, and sugar apples. Oh, and I also saw a chestnut tree. If you like it, boss, I'll pick some for you tomorrow."
Hearing this, Xia Yan's eyes lit up and he nodded frantically, "Sugar-roasted chestnuts are delicious, can you make them?"
Zhichang thought about it and said uncertainly, "If there is suitable sand and syrup, it should be fine."
In fact, there was one more thing he didn't say: there were so many chestnuts, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to finish frying them even if he worked till the end of time...
Xia Yan waved to an employee and asked her to take the vegetables to the external cooking table and clean them up.
After Zhikang parked the takeaway car in the safe area, he did not sit idle. He washed his hands and walked to the cooking table to start preparing the ingredients.
He also picked some wood ear mushrooms today, which he could just dry out in the sun without washing. Other mushrooms needed to be shaved and refrigerated.
There are also extra-large white radishes, potatoes, and onions, which are washed and cut into small pieces for later use, and the fruits are washed directly and given to the boss.
Bai Zuo and Bai You imitated Zhi Cang's movements and began to clumsily prepare the ingredients. Although they didn't know how to cook, they still attached great importance to food.
Maybe the two of them still have a glimmer of fantasy in their hearts, hoping to give it to Boss Jing when they meet him again in the future.
There was a long line in front of the external cooking counter. Everyone started to clean the mushrooms with the newly bought fruit knives and put the vegetables to be washed in a separate bag to avoid having to look for them later.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xia Yan told them that they could store the dried vegetables and fruits in plastic bags in the future, and charge 5 points for each bag.
After this news was released, everyone's original worry about the food spoiling was dispelled, and they happily decided to go out tomorrow to find more food and make sure to store more.
Everyone is fed up with having nothing to eat. Even though the hotel provides meals, they are still worried that if the hotel is gone one day, they will be back to having no food to eat and starving to death.
Originally, everyone was worried that Boss Xia would prohibit them from going out to pick vegetables and fruits, and then monopolize the market. However, they didn't expect that not only would she not stop them, she would also help them plastic-seal the ingredients. Alas, she is so mean-spirited.
At that moment, everyone looked at Xia Yan with scorching eyes.
