However, right after seeing the guests off, Yuan Tiantian received a special reward from Sime.
"Congratulations to the host for winning the approval of the old glutton. You are rewarded with a glutton roulette spin."
What did that mean? Yuan Tiantian was a bit slow to react. Who was the old glutton? Was it the old man just now? Wasn't he a geological expert?
After getting an explanation from Sime, Yuan Tiantian understood that the old man was not only a geological expert but also an ultimate foodie. No, that didn't sound sophisticated enough. He was a glutton in the culinary world with a very picky tongue. At this moment, Yuan Tiantian also recalled the look in his eyes when she said she would treat him to a meal. Did he think she recognized him and was trying to bribe him to promote her food store?
It seemed so. No wonder the young man later apologized specifically. She had wondered why she needed an apology when she was paying for the meal herself. She wasn't at a loss.
So that was it. It all made sense. Thinking of this, Yuan Tiantian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
However, the most important thing now was to spin the roulette quickly. When she opened it, she found that the prizes on this glutton roulette were quite good. There were a total of eight slots, three of which were "Thank you for playing," and the remaining five seemed to be food items, but Yuan Tiantian had never heard of their names before.
Shuyang, Huagencao, Youlan, Cangqing, and Youxu.
Never mind. She'd spin it first. It had to be said that Yuan Tiantian had had good luck so far. At least she had never gotten an empty result. This time, she landed on Shuyang.
Yuan Tiantian took it out. The Shuyang from the roulette turned out to be a kind of fruit, similar to a bayberry but much bigger, about twice the size. She got a total of five catties. From the description, Yuan Tiantian knew it was a good thing!
Shuyang: A product of the deep forest. It belongs to the plum fruit category. Eating it can relieve symptoms of gastric distension, stomachache, and indigestion.
Yuan Tiantian washed a few and ate them with Bai Ying. They were sweet and sour, and the juice burst out with each bite. Soon, they had finished them all.
"Delicious!"
Yuan Tiantian carefully put away the rest. Now, she had the awareness to properly preserve these plane - sourced food items with therapeutic functions and couldn't just use them casually. She never expected that the Shuyang would come in handy so soon.
It was already past 6 p.m. Apart from the two geological workers, no other customers had come to the food store. Yuan Tiantian sat in the store, bored. They had already had their dinner in advance. Of course, for after - dinner fruit, each of them had two Shuyang. Yuan Tiantian didn't dare to eat more. Bai Ying even called her stingy for that.
It really annoyed her. With Bai Ying being such a big eater, even if she had a hundred catties, she couldn't supply her. So she just had to control it!
"Boss, do you have any stomach medicine here?"
Just then, a man came into the store, covering his stomach. Yuan Tiantian quickly helped him in. After he sat down, he asked Yuan Tiantian for medicine again.
This middle - aged man in his forties had eaten too much before, which caused gastric distension and discomfort. When he was driving, he felt so uncomfortable that he stopped to look for some medicine. Yuan Tiantian didn't have any stomach medicine here, but she thought of the Shuyang she had just obtained.
"You're sure it's the gastric distension that's making you uncomfortable, right?"
The man nodded. After getting a definite answer, Yuan Tiantian went to the kitchen and finally came back with a washed Shuyang.
"Try this?"
The middle - aged man was a bit speechless at first. He thought she had gone to get medicine, but instead, she brought out a bayberry. Although this bayberry was a bit big, it wasn't medicine!
"Try it first. This has a therapeutic effect. If you still think it's useless, we'll go to the village to find some medicine for you."
Hearing Yuan Tiantian's words, the middle - aged man scoffed in his heart, but he thought he might as well give it a try. It wouldn't cause much harm. Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a bite, his stomach, which had had no appetite due to gastric distension, seemed to be awakened. And this bayberry tasted so good!
He quickly finished the Shuyang and still seemed to be craving more.
It seemed that he was so immersed in the delicious food that he had forgotten about his stomach discomfort. It wasn't until about two minutes later when Yuan Tiantian spoke that he came back to his senses.
"How do you feel now?"
Yuan Tiantian's question made the man widen his eyes in disbelief. He looked at Yuan Tiantian in astonishment.
"This bayberry is so amazing. My gastric distension is really much better!"
Yuan Tiantian silently smiled in her heart. She didn't correct his mistake of thinking it was a bayberry. She just said,
"That's good. I'm glad you're okay."
The man stayed in the store for about another twenty minutes. The feeling of gastric distension completely disappeared. Not only that, he went to the toilet once in the middle, and then he started to feel hungry.
"Boss, I'd like a serving of sausage steamed rice and dry - braised prawns."
Xia Feng, the middle - aged man with gastric distension, sat down again and started to order. He even asked if the bayberries were for sale, but Yuan Tiantian directly refused. She didn't have much stock, so she wasn't selling them for the time being.
Hearing that they weren't for sale, Xia Feng was a bit disappointed, but this disappointment soon disappeared after the food was served.
The sausage steamed rice was oily but not greasy, and the dry - braised prawns were refreshing and tender! If it weren't for taking care of his stomach, he really wanted another serving! Of course, he didn't order another serving for himself, but he did order one of each dish on the store's menu for takeout.
"I'll take them home for my kids!"
"Okay. Have a nice day."
Watching the man disappear into the night, Yuan Tiantian looked outside. It was already past 8 p.m. Maybe no more customers would come. The business tonight was a bit slow, but fortunately, these two groups of customers not only dined in but also ordered takeout, so she still made a few hundred yuan. Another hour passed, and at 9:30 p.m., no one else came, so she decided to close the store.
The main reason was that she had an important thing to do tonight, which was to plant the purification seeds on the mountain. She had communicated with Sime before, and it would tell her where the center of the mountain was. As long as she buried the seeds there, it could cover a ten - mu area of the mountain and change the soil quality. However, this change would take two days and two nights.
Bai Ying also went with her. After all, it wasn't safe for Yuan Tiantian, a pregnant woman, to walk to the center of the mountain. So, after Bai Ying knew about this, she volunteered to be Yuan Tiantian's "mount." This was also the reason why Yuan Tiantian chose to do this at night. She was afraid that Bai Ying's huge original form would scare people.
"Get on!"
Bai Ying squatted down. Yuan Tiantian sat on her back. Soon, under Sime's guidance, they reached the center. Yuan Tiantian took out the small shovel she had brought and buried the purification seeds deep into the soil. At the moment when the seeds entered the soil, she clearly felt a faint green light appear around them, but it quickly disappeared.
After finishing this important task, Yuan Tiantian went back and fell into a sweet dream. However, in the middle of the night, she was awakened by Sime's alarm - like notification.
"Host, a new visitor from another plane has arrived. The visitor is in a seriously injured state. Please treat them as soon as possible!"
"Host, a new visitor from another plane has arrived. The visitor is in a seriously injured state. Please treat them as soon as possible!"
"Host, a new visitor from another plane has arrived. The visitor is in a seriously injured state. Please treat them as soon as possible!"
Yuan Tiantian rubbed her eyes in a daze. An injured visitor from another plane? And she had to treat them?!
