Li Zheng thought carefully and then realized: "Where we are, there is more than one type of restaurant. Except for what we usually eat, which can be called home-cooked food, the dishes are served as finished products and served directly.
There are also two types of restaurants. As a merchant, you only need to be responsible for providing the ingredients, and the rest of the cooking process can be left to the customers themselves."
"...What?" After hearing this, Miriel suddenly stopped chewing and looked at Li Zheng in disbelief: "There is still such a model? Doesn't that mean we need to put a lot of stoves in the restaurant?"
"Well..." Li Zheng recalled carefully, "Actually, all it takes is some electric stoves. The merchant is responsible for providing ingredients and soup base or oven, and the customer is responsible for cooking... It doesn't actually count as cooking. You only need to put the ingredients on
Just boil it in the soup base or bake it in the oven."
Miriel looked puzzled: "Why does the latter one sound so much like the barbecue that other people vomited after eating it?"
Li Zheng's face darkened, indeed!
Everyone in the Matrix eats barbecue. They've already gotten tired of it. Ninety-nine percent of the people now feel like vomiting when they smell barbecue.
"Then I will open a hot pot restaurant then!" Li Zheng was confident, "The hot pot restaurant I open will definitely be delicious!"
"How do you ensure that your food is delicious?" Miriel started chewing the food in his mouth again, tapping his chopsticks twice in the air: "According to the so-called hot pot model you said, if you want it to be delicious, you can only start from two
The first thing to start with is the soup base used to scald food, and the second is the ingredients that are put into the soup base to scald.
Your world must have a large population, right? The soup base recipe, ingredients, and other aspects must have been thoroughly studied by others. If you can't come up with something unique, you won't be able to attract customers to your store."
"..." Li Zheng frowned and thought for a long time when he heard this, and finally said: "Aren't you the little princess of the Succubus tribe? Why are you so good at doing business?"
"What's wrong with the princess?" Miriel said matter-of-factly: "The succubus royal family also needs to eat, right? The business model of bartering or currency bartering is common to every race. As the best succubus, I
Isn’t it normal for a descendant of the Demon clan’s royal family to start learning business knowledge from a young age?”
"What you said... really makes sense." Li Zheng was completely speechless and began to act rogue: "It's still a matter of debate whether we can go back or not. It's a waste of time to discuss what store to open now.
"
As long as we can't go back to our original world, no matter how much we talk about the future, it's useless.
Li Zheng felt funny when he thought about it. He was so bored that he actually had the time to discuss this with Miriel.
"That's wrong!"
Li Zheng didn't want to continue this topic, but Miriel said seriously: "Even if you can't go back, after we resolve the mental storm one day, have you considered moving on?"
"Should we leave the matrix world and wander around the universe, or should we stay in the outer cities of the matrix world and open a restaurant like you said? If you choose the latter, wouldn't the things we are discussing now come in handy?
?”
Li Zhengzheng smiled and tapped Miriel on the forehead with his chopsticks: "On the contrary, if I stay in the outer city and open a restaurant, wouldn't I still have a stove?"
The food cooked on the stove is both delicious and can provide buff. Any restaurant you open can become popular, and you don't have to worry about business at all.
"...That's right, that's all you've got." Miriel thought it made sense, nodded and said no more.
The table fell into silence, except for the sound of teeth and cheeks grinding against food.
Privately, Li Zheng made calculations in his mind based on the idea just now.
If I really could return to Earth, I might not be able to open a delicious restaurant.
With his current mental strength, if he wants to learn the signature dishes of a star-rated hotel, he can get a rough idea just by watching them.
If it doesn't work out, you can work in the kitchen of someone else's house first, steal some of his skills and accumulate capital, and then go out on your own when the time is right.
Of course, this is because I want to live a peaceful life. Otherwise, with such great strength, even the earth can be crushed to pieces with just a thought, and it would still be a fool's errand...
After the meal, Li Zheng continued to study with Lao Pu, while Miriel did her own thing.
During this period, except that the three Cota brothers came over and complained that they were hungry, and Li Zheng asked them to find Basil to solve the problem, almost nothing happened.
Time soon came to midnight in the outer city, and it was also the first night Li Zheng spent in the outer city.
[The daily treasure chest has been refreshed and the quality is being randomized...]
The familiar electronic sound in his ears brought Li Zheng back from his study state. His ears suddenly moved, and an inexplicable meaning flashed in his eyes.
[The extraction is successful, the quality of this treasure chest is: Silver. Do you want to withdraw it now? 】
The silver-level treasure chest is the lowest quality that Li Zheng can extract now, and its value is equivalent to nothing.
Even if you use 'delayed extraction' to improve the quality by one level, it is not necessary, but it may affect the quality of tomorrow's treasure chest.
So Li Zheng did not hesitate and directly took out the treasure box.
‘Boom!’
The treasure chest fell to the ground, and the sound attracted the attention of others. Miriel was practicing whipping skills on the side. Hearing the sound, he glanced here and didn't pay much attention. There was just a slight dissatisfaction between his eyebrows, as if he was complaining about the impact of the sound caused by Li Zheng.
To practice on your own.
"..."
Seeing this situation, Li Zheng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
I seemed to have gone a little overboard in the past. Every time I received a treasure chest, I would avoid Miriel and the others.
In fact, there are so many strange things in the Matrix. As long as others don't have abilities similar to the Eye of Pres, who can see the abnormalities in the treasure box?
He smiled and shook his head, then opened the lid and reached in to get it. Li Zheng was stunned again.
This time the contents of the treasure box did not appear directly in the capsule residence like before, but appeared in his hands in physical form.
[Wishing Stone Fragments]
[A complete wishing stone can theoretically fulfill any of your wishes, provided you can gather it together and afford the price to realize your wish!]
[Lao Pu: Everything you touch has a price secretly marked by fate. Never try to use it to resurrect others. In exchange for equal value, if others resurrect, you will die! 】
Wishing stone fragments.
Li Zheng scratched his cheek after reading the prompt text given by Lao Pu.
He never expected that the treasure chest system would provide something so... out of touch with the rules of reality.
However, he didn't pay attention and put the fragments into the capsule casually. It seemed that he had just touched an ordinary stone, which had only a little commemorative significance.
Putting away his handheld computer along with it, Li Zheng stood up from where he was sitting and moved his hands and feet, trying to sleep and rest, but he felt weak all over.
He walked out of the greenhouse, found Kangel who was still busy, and asked a question that embarrassed even the old Ivy clan member.
"Does your botanical garden... have a place to take a bath?"
