Chapter 2 Black Technology
Just now, Su Zifang didn't look carefully outside the door. After entering, Su Zifang discovered that there was another mystery inside the store.
Hanging from the top of the nearly four-meter-high hall are more than a dozen oil-paper umbrellas with pictures of peach blossoms, flowing water, splash-ink mountains and rocks, covered lotus ponds, blue and white porcelain shadows, bamboos and birdsong, and so on.
The door is facing the counter. There is a horizontal bar directly above the counter, and the carved menu board is tied with a half-old red cloth. Above it is a skylight, which casts a beam of light and makes the room particularly bright.
Behind the counter, half a wall of wooden shelves stood against the wall, with some bottles and cans scattered on it. Su Zifang raised his eyes and found that except for a few clay pots with red paper, the glass bottles were all from Xifeng and Luzhou.
, Yanghe brand of mid-to-low-end wine.
There was a row of stairs on the right. Su Zifang walked up the stairs and saw that there were two small private rooms on the second floor. However, the two electric mahjong tables inside really ruined the scenery. Thinking of the wine bottles downstairs, Su Zifang immediately understood.
In the heart.
Probably because restaurants were declining after the ruins of Xile Street, the previous owner converted the former restaurant into a mahjong parlor and a tavern in order to make a living. Unexpectedly, he still couldn't withstand the trend.
Su Zifang shook his head, exited from this nondescript box, closed the door behind him, dusted off the dust on his hands, returned to the first floor, and suddenly discovered that there was a small door hidden under the stairs.
Behind the door is a small courtyard that is slightly larger than the front hall. The kitchen is next to the counter wall. In the middle of the courtyard is a peach tree, which is densely covered with flower buds. There is a row of houses on the other side, and the layout looks like
Prepare a place for him.
After walking around the peach tree, Su Zifang pushed open the door.
The huge house was empty except for a bed and an air conditioner.
However, Su Zifang was not picky. It would be nice if he could rest. He took out a towel from the box, thought about it, and went to the front hall to bring back the bucket and mop.
Fortunately, the shop looked dilapidated and the water and electricity were still normal. The kitchen faucet didn't even appear rusty red and was completely clear. Su Zifang couldn't help but reach out and dip his finger in it to taste.
Quite sweet!
It is the highest quality tap water he has ever encountered in his more than 20 years of life.
"Huh?" Su Zifang couldn't help but be curious. As a chef, he still had the basic common sense that the quality of drinking water determines the quality of the final dish. The taste of the water just now was not at all like tap water.
It even tastes a bit like Evian mineral water.
“Did the previous boss connect the water pipes to the Evian production workshop?”
[Titanium-iridium alloy water purification device]*
A prompt box appeared in front of Su Zi's eyes at the right time.
"What is this?" Su Zifang looked at the * sign behind the prompt and asked.
Before he could finish speaking, a new prompt popped up.
[Using the material of the device itself to purify water, it is a water purification device that can work in any environment. After purification, the water quality is sweet and suitable for cooking and direct drinking. This device is provided by the system and the host pays to use it. ]
Looking at the previous words, Su Zifang was quite happy at first. Who doesn't like system black technology?
But after seeing the paid usage, his first reaction was to ask about the price: "How much does it cost?"
[Titanium-iridium alloy water purification device-2.1 million yuan]
The system prompts are quick and direct.
"Hiss!" Su Zifan gasped. He knew that top-quality kitchenware was expensive, but a set of water purification equipment sold for 2.1 million. "Why don't you grab the system?"
Rolling his eyes, Su Zifang continued to complain: "Other systems start with a big gift package and lottery, but I am better! I don't have a penny to open a store, and all the equipment depends on credit..."
Maybe it felt Su Zifang's resentment, or maybe the system felt that this behavior of getting on the bus first and paying for the ticket later was really not good.
After ten seconds, a new prompt pops up.
[Titanium-iridium alloy water purification device-180,000 yuan (1/12), annual interest: 2.8%]
[Host: Su Zifang. Personal assets: -2.12 million yuan]
"..."
Now Su Zifang has nothing to say. The system is so considerate. Knowing that he is poor, he directly applied for installment for himself. It’s really great!
But where did the other 20,000 yuan come from? Is there any black technology used that he doesn't know about?
【rent】
System prompts are always concise and clear.
Su Zi opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally closed his mouth and said nothing. After all, with the system's handwriting, it was impossible to think that it would be 20,000 a year.
Sighing, he turned on the faucet, and looking at the water gushing out, Su Zifang began to feel heartache again.
"This is Evian quality water. How much money will you make if you bottle it and sell it?"
[Purified water is not allowed to be sold separately]
"Okay, okay, I know you're good. If you don't sell it, I'll drink it myself!" Su Zifang rolled his eyes when his planned way to make a fortune was blocked by the system.
But he didn’t really want to do this, he just wanted to test whether the system had such limitations. Now it seems that the only way to make money is to open a store honestly.
"Forget it, let's clean up first." Su Zifang threw the towel into the bucket and walked to the bedroom with it.
"If people knew I was mopping the floor with Evian, would they be beaten to death?" While mopping the floor, Su Zifang suddenly had an idea.
After hesitating for a few seconds before filming TikTok and dying tragically after being discovered by a doxxer, he still chose to mop the floor seriously.
"Labor is the most glorious!" Su Zifang comforted himself.
I don’t remember how many times I changed the water or washed the towels. Anyway, eight hours later, Su Zifang was extremely tired when she walked into the bathroom.
The bottles and cans behind the counter were sorted and packed and thrown into the recyclable and dry garbage areas. The two mahjong tables in the private room were also recycled at a price of 800 yuan each.
The door was freshly cleaned, the windows in the hall were bright and clear, the tables and chairs were all arranged neatly, and a few unstable stools were repaired with rubber pads. The lanterns and oil-paper umbrellas were all wiped clean of dust. When the lights were turned on, the scene was peaceful, which gave him a sense of accomplishment.
It seems that even if I can't be a chef in the future, I will still be good as a housekeeper.
Glancing at his phone, Su Zifang saw that it was almost ten o'clock, so he gave up the idea of visiting Boss Lu mentioned in Mu Lu's words.
After closing the shop door and returning to the bedroom, he had time to sort out what happened today.
The system would not let him come to Xile Street to run a small shop for no reason. Even the water purifier and cleaning supplies were prepared in advance. It looked like it had been planned for a long time.
If it's because of the main plot, Su Zifang doesn't think he has such great abilities.
However, Su Zifang would not explore why. Exploring such unanswered questions would only increase his troubles. He remembered what his father told him since he was a child: "Don't use common sense to speculate on a behavior that is not in line with common sense."
This probably refers to the current situation, right? As a person, you should be more relaxed and not too aggressive.
Thinking of this, Su Zifang pulled the quilt and prepared to have a good sleep before talking.
After all, the only things in this world that you can’t live up to are food and sleep!
