Misi came to Ark today to discuss cooperation, wanting to invest in one or two low-budget web series.
As I strolled around after finishing my business, I caught a lingering floral fragrance.
It's not just a pure floral scent; it also has a hint of the mouthwatering aroma of cake.
She followed the scent, turning at two intersections, and finally found the cake cart that made the fragrance outside Zhuangwang Garden.
She joined the queue with everyone else.
Ever since she experienced the benefits of being passively queued at the end of Fuchun Street, Mi Si has developed a respect for the "mysterious power" by which people select food.
With so many people and it smelling so good, it must be something delicious.
She scrolled through her phone for almost an hour before it was finally her turn to order.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the owner of a rice noodle stall!
Since the boss left without saying goodbye, she and her sister have been feeling down for days. They even lost their appetite for playing mahjong. They were also complained about by a VIP customer who said they weren't satisfied with the lack of rice noodles after drinking alcohol!
The boss has transformed into a pastry master!
Look at this adorable rolled-up van design, the large-capacity oven behind it, and a series of shiny stainless steel equipment. It looks minimalist, but it actually costs more to make.
Mis is a businessman; he can tell a thing or two about the boss's equipment just by looking at it.
A bowl of rice noodles that used to cost 50 yuan has now been sold for 200 yuan a slice of cake roll.
Business is still booming.
"Miss Mi, what a coincidence! I recommend you try our new 'Four Seasons Blossom Cake Roll' that we launched today."
"The brown one is rose-scented; the green one has a jasmine fragrance; the yellow one has a rich osmanthus oolong flavor; and the blue one has a traditional Chinese style painting with the fragrance of gardenia."
May you have no troubles all year round, and may flowers bloom in all four seasons.
Miss Mi listened, her eyes crinkling into slits with laughter.
"Quick, pack two for me! Look at them! The meaning behind them! What woman wouldn't be tempted!"
Miss returned to her car carrying two white, gold-plated paper bags, and the first thing she did was call Mrs. Li.
"Sis! Where are you? I bought something absolutely gorgeous and I'd like to treat you to it!"
...
10, 6, 4, and the last 2.
Qin Yi watched as her cakes dwindled, until only the last two rolls remained.
"Hello, I'd like two Four Seasons Flower Swiss Rolls. I've finally made it in time!"
A girl wearing a black off-shoulder t-shirt looked at Qin Yi with a bright smile and said.
Qin Yi stared at her face for a long time, "It's you!"
The girl excitedly tapped her head.
"It's me! I always have good luck when I meet you, sister!"
"Last time I almost got hit by a flowerpot, you were the one who saved me!"
"This time, I heard from Sister Zixuan that eating the peach blossom cake roll will bring good things."
"I finished the peach blossoms that Sister Zixuan gave me yesterday, and today the director called me back to continue playing the second female lead!"
"Tell me! Aren't you my lucky star?!"
"Ah? You're the original second female lead in 'Red Dust Drunk' who was squeezed out by Wang Ruoruo?"
Qin Yi really didn't expect this.
"Yes! Isn't it amazing! Sister, add me on WeChat too! I feel like being next to you will bring me good luck!"
So, the girl in black saved Qin Yi's contact as "Good Luck Sister".
Qin Yi's contact name for the girl in black was "Superstitious Girl".
...
12:30 PM.
After class, Lu Zi and his six roommates went straight to the bus station. They didn't even have lunch, just waiting to buy the shop owner's cake as a treat.
Everyone agreed on the bus that for lunch each they would take half a roll, and then each would pack a roll of their favorite flavor to take back to school.
After all, it took more than two hours of bus rides to get to the Ark, so buying only half a volume would be a waste.
"Ugh! Oh...uh...yue...waaaaaahh ...
As soon as he got out of the car, Yang Zhou stood above the trash can and kept wailing for a long time.
Everyone turned away, unable to bear the sight.
"You've been throwing up like this for only two hours, and you're still following us around like a little puppy to buy a cake."
As the saying goes, kicking someone when they're down doesn't make you a good brother, but offering help in times of need is definitely the act of a scheming dog.
Lu Ziyi handed Yang Zhou a tissue to wipe his mouth, frowning as he said, "Look! I just checked Baidu, and it says that people who have just vomited shouldn't eat greasy food, as it's bad for their stomach."
"The starch and sugar in cakes can cause excessive stomach acid secretion, further aggravating the irritation to the stomach."
"Why don't you give me your portion? I'll lighten the burden on your stomach, and you won't throw up when we get back."
Yang Zhou's face was deathly pale: "Lu Ziyi, you... you hit me in the face with your abacus beads!"
The group chatted and joked as they walked, and finally found the entrance to Zhuangwang Garden using the location provided by the purchasing agent.
Hmm? Jianbing guozi, Hong Kong-style milk tea, stinky tofu, mala tang... Six heads look over from left to right and from right to left.
Where is the cake shop owner?
At the entrance of Zhuangwang Park, there's a three-story modern building—that's absolutely right!
"Look, there's a white paper bag from when we ate cake last time in the trash can!" one of my roommates spotted it.
This is it! But where is the proprietress?
Lu Ziyi quickly took out his phone and a video of the purchasing agent popped up.
Jingtian: "Hey bro, I'm delivering goods right now, what's up?"
Lu Ziyi: "Brother, I've come to Ark according to the location you gave me yesterday! We're here to buy a Swiss roll! Where's the owner?"
Jing Tian: "Hahahaha~~~~~! Bro! The boss closes up shop every day at noon! He left early today! You guys made a wasted trip!"
Lu Zi instantly deflated like a wilted eggplant: "No, bro! Why didn't you say so sooner?"
Jing Tian looked completely innocent: "You didn't even ask about the stall hours! You only asked for the address, and I told you that! Sigh! I have to drive now, I can't chat with you anymore! Goodbye!"
After listening to the conversation in the video, the five people around Lu Ziyi stared at him in deathly silence.
Unable to contain his anger, Yang Zhou weakly jumped up and choked the person!
"Lu Ziyi! You can't live!!!"

[Congratulations, host, on completing the second level of the mission. System reward calculation in progress.]
Before Qin Yi collapsed onto the bed, she remembered this sentence.
Then she was awakened by a series of doorbell rings.
She remembered that she had arranged for Zixuan to come to her room at 12 o'clock to discuss something.
Zi Xuan was decisive and straightforward. The moment she sat down, a contract was placed directly in front of Qin Yi.
“I contributed capital and effort, recruited people and found a store, and became the major shareholder with a 51% stake.”
“You become the technology shareholder, and I will give you 20% of the shares. You don’t need to invest or be in the store, but you must teach the bakers in the store the core technology of floral cake rolls and develop new products every quarter.”
"We'll focus on making Chinese-style cake rolls. We can create a floral series or an ancient-style painted series, mainly selling cake rolls to build brand awareness first. Later, we can expand into new product lines, such as floral mille-feuille, floral cream puffs, etc."
Qin Yi couldn't help but say again, "Flowers bloom in all four seasons, making floral-scented cake rolls even more suitable for Chinese people."
