As everyone knows, when eating delicious food, no one wastes time talking, especially when several people are eating together. The guests at the next table, smelling the aroma of their food, couldn't help but urge Su Bai, "Can you hurry up?"
Once it happened, it started happening again. People at other tables couldn't help but urge them on. One group of male college students looked at Su Bai with pleading eyes: "Sister, I'm hungry, I need food!"
Su Bai had never seen such a scene before, with two handsome young men making a fuss beside her. She blushed immediately and said, "The chef is preparing it. It will be ready soon. Please wait a moment."
After Tao Zhizhi unlocked her skill, she listened to the urging voices of the customers in the store. She wished she could grow three heads and six arms because of the sudden influx of customers. She only had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief after serving one or two dishes to each table.
The guests ate with great relish, occasionally uttering exclamations of praise. There was even a debate about who should eat the last bite. Finally, one person said:
"Then let's play the old game, high stakes!"
"good!"
"Rock, paper, scissors!"
Seeing this, Su Bai was amused, but he couldn't laugh at his guest, so he held it in.
The loser reluctantly gave up the last bite, while the satisfied customers in the shop leaned back in their chairs and chatted happily.
Girls who came out for a trip took photos together on the bench, exchanged compliments, and shared contact information. Tao Zhizhi finally felt that the warm food stall had officially opened.
Su Bai was still busy tidying up the shop, while Tao Zhizhi sat on a stool, shook her hands, and went to work at the cashier. She worked until the last customer left the lunch table, thinking that there probably wouldn't be any more customers for a while.
The thought of one hundred million danced in Tao Zhizhi's mind; it was like a colorful flashing light.
Within a single afternoon, Tao Zhizhi saw countless income updates flashing before her eyes. At first, she felt great and extremely satisfied. But later, she felt overwhelmed, as if a camera was constantly snapping photos in front of her.
"One hundred million, can you turn off this notification for me?" Tao Zhizhi asked, rubbing her eyes.
"Oh? This can be turned on and off at will, it's in the bottom left corner of the panel."
Tao Zhizhi opened the panel and noticed a flashing switch at the bottom that she had never seen before. She quickly turned it off and checked the latest panel data:
Host: Tao Zhizhi
Restaurant: Warm Food Stall
5 recipes learned
Deliciousness Points: 380
Happiness Points: 300
Tao Zhizhi was puzzled. Why hadn't the happiness points changed? Was it only triggered by a specific group of people?
The points increase is not much, averaging only about twenty per table.
The good news is that the online store is open! I couldn't contain my shopping urges and eagerly clicked the icon to enter the shopping page.
"Ingredients, recipes, kitchen utensils, system—nothing special?"
"Besides purchasing ingredients, the host can also buy seeds, cultivate and sell them in the system shop. Oh, and there are also some enhancement items that can only be used by the host, such as super long preservation, longevity, beauty enhancement, etc. The host can explore them on their own."
"Then why don't I see these on the panel?"
"That's because the host can't afford it yet, and doesn't have enough points. You can only unlock it when you have more than a thousand Delicious Points."
"One hundred million," he explained earnestly, his voice gleaming.
"I'm still too poor," Tao Zhizhi said with a wry smile.
"Boss? Boss!" Su Bai finished her work and saw her boss sitting in a daze for a while. She waved her hand in front of her eyes.
Tao Zhizhi's attention was immediately drawn back: "What's wrong?"
"I noticed you've been spacing out for an hour, so I was wondering if you wanted to take a break."
Yes, when Tao Zhizhi was decorating, she specially set aside a small room next to the kitchen, leaving space for a folding bed so that people could take a nap when there were no guests.
"Ah, I'm fine. You suddenly went to work, you should rest for a while." Tao Zhizhi didn't expect that she had been stunned for an hour, so she quickly went back to the kitchen.
Although the air conditioning is on in the shop, it's currently over 30 degrees Celsius outside. We didn't think to offer refreshing drinks to customers when we first opened, but today we used the shop's dishes to attract customers.
Tao Zhizhi plans to buy a serving of mung bean soup as a summer drink and offer it to customers for free. Besides, mung bean soup only costs fifty happiness points, and the three-month limit for adding it is very worthwhile!
She closed the kitchen door, thinking about the mung bean soup in the mall, and with a wave of her hand, she entered a clean and bright kitchen, different from her own little shop.
The kitchen was equipped with both modern smart devices and traditional hand tools. A chef wearing a chef's hat appeared in front of her, urging her to operate the kitchen utensils without giving Tao Zhizhi any time to react.
She suddenly realized that this was the highly professional teacher the system had mentioned. She barely had time to think; she just started working on the ingredients. For the past few days, she was either cooking mung beans or on her way to cook mung beans. Finally, the master chef nodded and said, "The texture is delicate and smooth, refreshing and sweet. Not bad. You can leave now."
After speaking, Tao Zhizhi reappeared in the shop's kitchen, and a pot of mung bean soup appeared in the open space. She filled a bowl, tasted it, and found that it tasted just like the one she had made under the master chef's guidance. It was very refreshing to drink. She would freeze some of it first, and then just add more every day.
Looking at the clock on the wall, it was almost five o'clock. She had been studying in the kitchen for several days, but in reality, it had only been about two hours. Dinner time was about to begin. Tao Zhizhi first had Su Bai drink some mung bean soup, and then brought out the soup pot to serve the guests.

"We're here, we've arrived! This is the warm food stall, isn't it?"
A bright and energetic voice drifted into the shop; it was the group of male college students from noon. Su Bai recognized them as soon as he saw them.
"Sister, we're here again, but we need to catch the high-speed train, so we won't eat at the restaurant. Could you pack one of each dish for me?"
The boy in the denim jacket said to Su Bai.
Su Bai handed them the bowl of mung bean soup, saying, "It's hot, so this is mung bean soup. Please sit down for a while."
"Boss, the customer said they want to pack all the dishes to go."
Tao Zhizhi immediately got to work, first packing the pear soup. With her experience in preparing lunch, she held a pot in each hand and quickly finished cooking.
Su Bai handed them the packaged food, and the boy in the denim jacket looked dejected as he held the bag.
"Sister, the food at your shop is so delicious! I don't want to leave Qingshui."
"Hey, I live in Qingshui City and I can still get this food." Another boy in a black short-sleeved shirt grinned and showed off to the others.
Looking at his grinning face, and realizing that he wasn't sad about leaving, but his friend's happiness was unbearable, the boy in the denim jacket forcefully pushed his head away and replied through gritted teeth:
"Liu Zihao! Don't you have to go to work? I heard you say that your company often requires overtime."
Liu Zihao recalled how he used to work overtime at the company, eating instant noodles all the while. His smile froze on his face as he looked at Su Bai and asked sincerely, "Sister, are you planning to start a food delivery business?"
Su Bai didn't know what her boss was planning, so she could only politely reply, "We will consider it."
