Finally, they saw off the last wave of guests. It was already a little past 10 p.m. Yuan Tiantian and Bai Ying finished tidying up the outside area. It was almost 11 p.m. Only then did they officially have dinner. Xiuxiu had eaten in advance and had already gone to rest. Fortunately, they had both eaten some bread to stave off hunger in the middle, or they would have starved to death. Yuan Tiantian rubbed her belly and thought that she had been here for nearly a month. She had to find time to go to the hospital for a prenatal check - up.
After they finished eating, they simply cleaned the dining hall. Yuan Tiantian took Bai Ying upstairs and gave him the next - door room. She had been wondering what to do if there was no bed in it. Unexpectedly, after entering the room, Bai Ying transformed into his original form and flew directly to the chandelier. Then he said to Yuan Tiantian, "Turn off the light."
Yuan Tiantian: "......"
After turning off the light, Yuan Tiantian went to the rooftop to check on Xiuxiu. The latter was obviously fast asleep. After watering it a little, Yuan Tiantian returned to her room and began to count today's income.
Wu Qian spent 70 yuan. Aunt Qian Huashen and the others spent 162.5 yuan. The ten little girls in total spent 367.5 yuan. Later, each of them took away a cup of iced lemonade. It was mainly because the free small cup they drank wasn't enough to satisfy them. Although there were fewer people in Liu Ming's group, they added dishes and drinks three times. After a 50% discount, their consumption was 352.5 yuan, almost surpassing the total consumption of the ten little girls.
That is to say, for tonight's meal, the total turnover of Tiantian's Food Store was 952.5 yuan, almost reaching 1000 yuan. If she hadn't given a 50% discount to everyone who came today, Yuan Tiantian's turnover today could have been nearly 2000 yuan.
"It's a good start!"
Yuan Tiantian looked at the bill on her phone and felt elated. Today's cost was at most about 200 yuan. The eggs were of zero cost. The cost of sausages and shrimps was a bit higher, while other things like green peppers and tomatoes were very cheap. Excluding the cost of labor, water, and electricity, her net income today was about 700 yuan.
In a good mood, Yuan Tiantian ordered five smart phones worth a little over 1000 yuan each on Jingxi. She also bought three sets of cool big - leg shorts and white T - shirts for Bai Ying. Later, she looked at a few small clothes for Xiuxiu before reluctantly exiting the app. Seeing the total amount she had spent in this short while, Yuan Tiantian became even more motivated.
"I still have to keep working hard!"
Just as Yuan Tiantian was about to go to sleep, Si Mo, who had only appeared in the morning when delivering the opening - day lemons, finally showed up again.
"Congratulations to the host for reaching an income of 1905 yuan on the opening day. You are rewarded with a spin on the kitchenware turntable. The turntable will disappear in ten minutes. Please complete the spin as soon as possible, host."
Huh? Why was it 1905 yuan?
After Si Mo's explanation, Yuan Tiantian understood that the system calculated the host's income based on the amount without any discounts. The system recorded the actual selling price of what the host sold. As for the host's actual received amount, that was the host's own problem. In the system's view, the turnover was the actual price.
"Will there be a turntable reward every time the income reaches 1000 yuan?"
Yuan Tiantian was quite concerned about this question. She saw that the rewards on this turntable were all related kitchenware except for "Thank you for your patronage". There were a total of six compartments, three "Thank you for your patronage", and the other three were an ordinary frying pan, an ordinary rice cooker, and an ordinary soup pot. One of them was something Yuan Tiantian already had, but she didn't mind having more!
She originally thought Si Mo was too cold - hearted to answer, but unexpectedly, she got an answer, although it was very concise.
"No." Si Mo replied simply and clearly.
Knowing that asking further questions wouldn't get her any more answers, Yuan Tiantian rubbed her hands and started to spin the turntable. Watching the turntable on the system interface spin rapidly, Yuan Tiantian prayed that it mustn't land on "Thank you for your patronage". Anything else would be fine! She liked them all!
Maybe her inner prayer was heard, because the turntable pointer finally stopped on the ordinary frying pan! Yuan Tiantian was so excited that she almost jumped up. She excitedly took out the ordinary frying pan from the system and also saw the detailed description of it.
Ordinary frying pan: The deliciousness of all dishes cooked with this pan will increase by 5%.
It was amazing!
Yuan Tiantian took the frying pan downstairs to the kitchen and carefully put it away. Then she returned to her room contentedly to rest. A fulfilling and rewarding day had ended!
Early the next morning, Yuan Tiantian was woken up by Bai Ying and Xiuxiu. They were having a great time on the balcony. Looking at the time, it was 6:30 a.m. Yuan Tiantian was still a bit tired. She had gone to bed late last night. She originally thought she would have dark circles under her eyes. But when she looked in the mirror, she was shocked. Her condition was so good! It didn't look like the after - effect of staying up late at all.
Not only were there no dark circles, but her skin was also fairer by more than one shade, and her pores even seemed a bit finer.
What was going on?
"Host, the lemons from the Forest of Depth are not ordinary products. This is their normal dietary - therapy effect."
Yuan Tiantian: "......"
You're saying that the whitening and dark - circle - removing effects are normal? Yuan Tiantian was speechless to Si Mo.
Come on, even high - end skin - care products worth thousands of yuan don't have such good effects! The whitening effect alone was already amazing, and it could even fade dark circles!
Thinking of the two remaining lemons, Yuan Tiantian felt heart - ache instantly. Before, she only thought they were delicious. Now that she knew their functions, how could she not feel heart - ache?
"Si Mo, do I still have a chance to get these lemons?"
Yuan Tiantian wanted to cry. She should have known better than to give them away for free. Yes, she had to raise the price! The price of 15 yuan per cup didn't match the lemons from the Forest of Depth. Yuan Tiantian decided that starting today, it would be 35 yuan per cup, and only one slice of lemon could be added!
She had already thought of the reason. The price of the lemonade on the opening day was a discounted price, and now this was the regular price!
It wasn't that Yuan Tiantian wanted to be a profiteer. One reason was that she felt heart - ache for wasting such good things, and the other was that the effect was so obvious that she was afraid of attracting unnecessary trouble.
"Host, please check the gratitude - value exchange mall."
With doubt, Yuan Tiantian opened it and couldn't believe her eyes. Besides the egg grass, there was an additional item, which was the lemon from the Forest of Depth. It was priced at 5 gratitude values each. It wasn't cheap, but Yuan Tiantian thought it was worth it. However, looking at the total 34 gratitude values she had saved up during this period, Yuan Tiantian realized her poverty.
"Why is this item here?"
She could understand the egg grass, as it was the standard feed for hard - working hens. But what about this lemon?
"Host, the Gexi Forest is next to the Forest of Depth and belongs to the same continent. The gratitude - value exchange mall will gradually show the products from the worlds of all the plane visitors who have come to the food store."
So that's how it was. Si Mo's explanation made it clear. It seemed that items from Bai Ying's alien - beast world would also appear later. Yuan Tiantian was a bit looking forward to it. It seemed that she had to check the gratitude - value exchange mall every night from now on.
Yuan Tiantian went downstairs to count the eggs. Bai Ying had told her yesterday that someone wanted to buy them. They had already saved up dozens of eggs. Although they had used a lot yesterday, there were still about 50 left. She also planned to sell some. After all, with 6 - 8 eggs coming in every day, it was better to sell them to the villagers than to let them go bad.
For breakfast, Yuan Tiantian simply made tomato and egg noodles for the three of them and added a golden fried egg on top. It smelled really good. Even without tasting it, judging from the way Bai Ying and Xiuxiu gobbled it up, she knew it wouldn't be bad!
"Wow, it smells so good!"
