Chapter 6
"I heard from the people in the community that you are setting up a stall now, right? What are you selling? Let me give you some advice." The security guard looked at Lin Gui with a warm smile while holding a thermos cup.
The older generation thinks that setting up a stall is a rather hard job.
Lin Gui didn't want the elders to worry about her, so she replied, "I've found a job. I'm going to set up a stall today to promote it. I'll have the shop up and running in a couple of days. It just so happens that the product I'm promoting is pet snacks, small snacks for Da Huang and the others."
The security guard glanced at Lin Gui's bag, which looked like it was still filled with something, and then he talked about something else: "Your aunt knows that you took Da Huang away, and she's worried that she'll waste too much food every time she cooks."
"That's okay. Just tell Auntie that whenever you cook extra food, call me over. I'll be happy to help and I promise not to waste anything." Lin Gui said with a smile.
"It's a deal then. Come to my house for dinner next time." The security guard said as he took out two hundred yuan and said, "Are there any snacks left from today? Da Huang has been with me for a long time, and I didn't prepare anything for him. I should buy him some food after he leaves. It's a good idea to keep the money in my family, so I'll buy it from you."
Lin Gui quickly refused, "No, no, you can just eat whatever you want here, why should you pay?" As she said this, she pushed the old man's hand away.
"And I sell it so cheaply, yours can buy up all the rest of mine."
"Take it, take it. This is your first time working, so this isn't just for Da Huang. I'm also supporting your career as a senior. You can't refuse gifts from your elders. When you make money, come and show your filial piety to me by buying me two bottles of good wine. It just so happens that your aunt doesn't let me drink it."
Lin Gui felt warm in her heart, but she still didn't push the old man away and thanked him solemnly.
The security guard waved his hand and walked away with the thermos cup as if he had done a good deed without leaving his name.
Holding the warm two hundred yuan, Lin Gui returned home and put down her things. Da Huang had just taken two steps when she heard a knock on the door and came to push the door again. Lin Gui followed the sound to open the door and saw that it was Grandma Xu outside. For some reason, Lin Gui felt that the scene just now was about to happen again.
Grandma Xu was the most well-informed person in the neighborhood. If the security guard only knew about Lin Gui's stall, Grandma Xu might even be able to find out how much Lin Gui had sold.
Sure enough, Grandma Xu found out that Lin Gui had not sold all the goods due to the management's obstruction, so she came to find Lin Gui and said that she and Grandpa Wang happened to be half and half, so she bought all the remaining goods for Dahuang to eat.
Lin Gui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Grandma, there's no need to do this. I didn't have much left. I just happened to meet an old customer who bought most of the rest. I was planning to leave the rest for Da Huang to eat."
Grandma Xu argued confidently, "The best time to start a business is when you first open. People say if sales are strong in the first three days, they'll continue to do so. I heard you sold out on the first day, so you can't give up on the second day. There aren't many left anyway. Grandpa and I are buying some together."
Lin Gui couldn't argue with Grandma Xu, and she didn't want to disappoint her kindness, so she accepted her suggestion.
Seeing Lin Gui accept the money, Grandma Xu smiled and said, "That's right. When you were in college, you helped us old guys a lot, doing this and that without asking for money. This time, just consider it as grandma's support for you."
After saying that, seeing that Lin Gui still had to clean up the house, he didn't disturb Lin Gui and went back soon.
009 waited until Grandma Xu left before reappearing: "The host's neighbors are all doing well."
Lin Gui accepted the money given by the elders and replied, "When my parents passed away, my biological grandparents already had other grandchildren. They thought it would be too much trouble to take care of me, so they gave me the compensation and let me take care of myself. At that time, I relied on the grandparents, uncles and aunts in the neighborhood to gradually become independent."
Dahuang has been leaning on Lin Gui. Lin Gui looks at Dahuang and feels that there are still many beautiful things in this world worth cherishing. Well, work hard, get promoted and get a raise, which encourages herself.
Put all the remaining snacks in Dahuang's nest. Since they were bought for Dahuang by the elders, keep them all. Unpack a few and put them in the dog bowl for Dahuang to eat. Dahuang instantly stopped sticking to Lin Gui and ran towards the bowl with his tail wagging wildly.
Lin Gui began to calculate today's income. Originally, after setting up the stall, he only had three orders left to upgrade. Now three elders have also purchased. I wonder if this will be counted in the total score.
Call out 009 and ask, "Does grandpa and grandma's purchase records count as well?"
009 hesitated: "Logically, this should be counted, but there's suspicion of fake orders, so the system didn't include these three orders."
Lin Gui slowly explained, "How would the elders know about fake orders? Even if you open a shop, there is no reason not to serve your family, right? And you see, Da Huang, the beneficiary of the snacks, is enjoying it now, and upgrading early will also be good for you, right?"
009 considered that this had never happened before and that the incident happened suddenly, leaving the host with no other options. After a long pause, he finally replied, "Then I'll report these three T orders. Even if we pass this time, this situation can't happen again. If the main system catches us, our data will be wiped out."
"No problem, that won't happen again."
After 009 reported it, the experience value increased from 97 to 100. A golden light flashed and the system panel changed.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully upgrading! Current level: Level 2, 150 more points to the next level]
[Obtain: Automatic filling shelf * 1]
[Congratulations to the host for lighting up the new snack: Flavored Beef. For the recipe and preparation method, please go to check it out.]
[Congratulations to the host for opening the system mall, welcome to purchase]
Lin Gui stared at the System Mall on the page and clicked on it. 009 began to introduce it: "The System Mall sells all kinds of animal-related products."
Looking at the gray product page in front of him, all of them showed insufficient amounts, the system currency was displayed as 1, and even the cheapest snack recipe in the mall required 5 currencies. Lin Gui was curious about the composition of this currency and asked 009.
"System currency is primarily derived from the gratitude of the animals towards you. Each animal's gratitude can be high or low, depending on the animal's own energy. The calculation is quite complex. Anyway, strive to gain the animals' favor."
"Host, this gratitude value should be contributed by Da Huang."
Lin Gui turned around and looked at Da Huang who was eating happily, ran over and hugged him, saying, "Wow, Da Huang is so good." She stroked Da Huang's head wildly until Da Huang dodged away by himself.
I sat on the sofa and continued to look at the panel. The system mall was currently unusable. I clicked on the recipe, and there were only dog bone biscuits and the flavored beef on it. The other items were bright, and everything else was gray.
When you click on each snack, there is an explanation.
Dog bone biscuits
Main ingredients: soft pumpkin, beef, smooth chicken, blood-red carrots
Details: These small biscuits are popular among dog families around the world. Although deliciousness is the main thing, they also have to have the shape that dogs love the most.

【Flavorful beef
Main ingredients: beef
Details: As the name suggests, this is made only with the most expensive beef

Lin Gui looked at the newly acquired item again. 009 couldn't wait to come out and explain, "Host, now that you have this shelf, you don't have to cook by yourself. Rejoice! Just enter the name and ingredients, and it will keep producing."
Lin Gui asked, "Is this product transmitted from your world? Wouldn't others find it strange when they buy it?"
"Of course it won't be strange. Host, you'll know when you put it in the store tomorrow. These products themselves will distract others and prevent them from getting suspicious."
"The products are mostly transferred from other places. When our system was generated, the main system allocated a space and placed a lot of supplies for our systems to use together."
009 said proudly, "There's no shortage of these materials. I just expend energy to transport them. The more we sell, the less energy we consume."
Lin Gui understood that everything was ready except for the east wind. The next step was to open the store.
At this time, Dahuang finished eating the biscuits and came over to lean on Lin Gui again. Of the many things I bought for Dahuang yesterday, only the doghouse had not arrived. The dog toiletries had also arrived. Lin Gui took Dahuang to the bathroom and prepared to give it a good wash.
Dahuang had never taken a proper bath before. When he first entered the bathroom, he was very well behaved until Lin Gui sprayed the shower head on him.
It moved around trying to hide, but Lin Gui grabbed its feet. Dahuang seemed to be strangled by the throat and finally could not escape from Lin Gui's clutches. By the time the shower gel was wet, Dahuang had already compromised and didn't move much. He listened to Lin Gui very much.
The puppy shower gel smells like green apples. After washing, Dahuang's fur was blown away. Lin Gui wiped Dahuang with a big towel. Dahuang started to shake off the water, as if on purpose, and splashed it all over Lin Gui.
Lin Gui had no choice but to quickly use a hair dryer to blow dry Dahuang's hair. It was very difficult to use a human hair dryer to dry a dog's hair. Fortunately, Dahuang was not too afraid of the noise and cooperated very well.
It took a long time to blow it half dry. Lin Gui couldn't blow it anymore, so she turned on the small sun that she used in winter and used it to heat Dahuang's hair to prevent it from catching a cold. She blew it while drying it, and finally the hair was dry.
The rhubarb became fragrant, and it seemed to feel very comfortable. It sniffed around, getting familiar with its new smell.
After Lin Gui finished taking care of Da Huang, she secretly vowed that when she had enough money, she would buy a pet-specific dryer so that even a hair dryer would get too hot.
