At night, Yuan Tiantian was doing accounts when suddenly she heard Si Mo's mechanical voice.
"Congratulations to the host. Your total popularity value has reached 3000. You are awarded one plant lottery draw."
It gave Yuan Tiantian quite a scare. She decided to forget about the accounts for now and quickly check the system. Sure enough, in the popularity value mall, there was a value of 2200. That meant it counted the total value rather than the current one, including the 800 points that had been deducted before. And that plant lottery was actually a spin of a turntable. But just like the time she got Shu Yang, she couldn't recognize the plants on it. They were not from the real world.
This time, there were a total of 8 grids on the turntable. Three said "Thank you for your participation" and five were plants. There were the familiar Shu Yang and Cang Qing, and three others Yuan Tiantian had never seen before: Purple Name Flower, Green Bitter, and Yellow Leaf Blue.
Yuan Tiantian was full of confidence. Thinking that she had never drawn a blank before, she spun the turntable directly. But unexpectedly, she missed this time. Watching the pointer slowly jump from Shu Yang to "Thank you for your participation", Yuan Tiantian was stunned. She got nothing this time.
"Hope the host will make persistent efforts."
Si Mo's mechanical voice sounded. For some reason, Yuan Tiantian always felt there was a hint of schadenfreude in it. She had never heard Si Mo congratulate her when she got a reward before, but it quickly sent this "message" after she missed?
Yuan Tiantian was fuming. But when she went back to check the popularity value and gratitude value exchange malls, she found something new. There was a Shu Yang seed in the popularity value mall, which could be exchanged for 500 popularity points each. And in the gratitude value mall, there was a kind of food called flower crab. One could be exchanged for 10 gratitude points.
Looking at her 2200 popularity points and 480 gratitude points, Yuan Tiantian had a strong desire to shop. Finally, she reached out and bought 3 lemon seeds and 2 Shu Yang seeds, spending all her 2200 popularity points. Then she used her gratitude points to buy 10 sets of egg grass and 10 servings of flower crab. She spent the rest on lemons.
Egg grass and lemons were things Yuan Tiantian often bought these days. She got gratitude points from regular customers like Bai Ying every day, so she wasn't short of them. That's why there had never been a shortage of lemonade in Sweetie's Food Store. But what was this flower crab? After buying it, Yuan Tiantian extracted a flower crab from the system warehouse to take a look. The extraction almost scared her to death.
"Ouch!"
Yuan Tiantian let out a scream, which woke up Bai Ying and Sheng Jing. The two of them rushed directly to her room. Then they saw Yuan Tiantian standing on the bed, screaming and looking at the lively thing on the ground.
"Hey? Isn't this a flower crab?!"
Bai Ying's eyes widened instantly when he saw the flower crab. How did the little boss get something from the sea there? Finally, with the help of Bai Ying and Sheng Jing, the flower crab was finally subdued and cut into pieces and put into the freezer of the refrigerator.
At this time, when Yuan Tiantian checked the system again, she also saw the detailed introduction of the flower crab.
Flower Crab: Originating from the eastern coastal areas of the Alien Beast World. It is big and full of vitality. Its meat is of top - grade quality and rich in protein.
Wasn't it big and full of vitality? That flower crab was actually twice as big as the king crabs sold on the market. As soon as Yuan Tiantian took it out, its pincers tried to pinch her! If she hadn't thrown it away quickly, one of her fingers might have been crippled.
"Little boss, this thing is really delicious! How did you get it?"
Bai Ying looked at the flower crab meat in the freezer and drooled embarrassedly. Sheng Jing quietly moved away from him in disgust. Yuan Tiantian was also speechless. Then she took out a crab leg from the refrigerator and threw it to him. Bai Ying caught it and excitedly took a bite. Um, it was still so delicious. He hadn't tasted it for a long time!
After Bai Ying finished eating, Yuan Tiantian grabbed him to do some hard work. She wanted to plant the seeds she had exchanged for today. It was said on the lemon and Shu Yang seeds that in the soil of the purification land, there was no need to consider the season or climate for planting. One only needed to plant them and water them once a day. In the soil of the purification land, the lemon tree would germinate in ten days, blossom in twenty days, bear fruit in thirty days, and mature in forty days. Shu Yang grew even faster. It would germinate in five days, blossom in ten days, bear fruit in twenty days, and mature in thirty days. However, one thing to note was that the seeds sold by the system could only be used once. That meant once the tree matured, it would be useless. The fruits it bore could not produce seeds for planting. It was just a one - time gain.
As for the yield, it wasn't stated. It probably depended on the specific condition of the soil. Yuan Tiantian would only know after planting once.
So, Yuan Tiantian wanted to plant the seeds she got tonight immediately. In thirty or forty days, there would be self - grown lemons and Shu Yang in the store. She wouldn't have to be so stingy when using ingredients.
"So it's just payment for labor?"
Bai Ying thought Yuan Tiantian was being kind - hearted and giving him an extra meal. He didn't expect it was just payment for hard work, which made Yuan Tiantian burst out laughing. Seeing Bai Ying carry Yuan Tiantian flying into the night, Sheng Jing also took out his flying sword and followed them, flying on his sword. Yuan Tiantian looked at him enviously. Flying on a sword! When she was a child watching TV dramas, she had always dreamed of doing that!
Maybe next time she could ask Sheng Jing to take her flying?
When the three of them came back after planting, it was 11:30 p.m. Yuan Tiantian quickly went to sleep. Early the next morning, as soon as she opened the door, she saw the guest from last night, Bai Jingyang, standing outside.
"What's this?"
Bai Jingyang was standing outside with his luggage. When he saw the Sweetie's Food Store open, his listless look instantly became lively.
"Little boss, does your store serve breakfast?!"
Yuan Tiantian shook her head honestly. The food store didn't serve breakfast. But seeing his disappointed look, she still led him into the store. Then Yuan Tiantian found out the reason why Bai Jingyang came so early.
"I didn't get to eat any of the spicy crabs I took back last night. They were all spilled. It made me feel so frustrated. That's why I came here early!"
"By the way, little boss, the taste of the stir - fried swimming crabs in your store last night made those people in the hall so envious. They kept asking me where I bought them!"
Yuan Tiantian then understood why her popularity value had suddenly reached 3000 last night. Bai Jingyang's incident in the hotel must have contributed a lot. He could be regarded as a great contributor to the increase in the popularity value of the food store. So Yuan Tiantian directly invited him.
"We haven't had breakfast yet. We're going to make seafood porridge. Are you interested?"
Yuan Tiantian planned to use the flower crab from last night to make seafood porridge for breakfast today. Bai Jingyang nodded quickly after hearing that.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Bai Ying was tidying up in the store. When he heard this, he murmured discontentedly in a low voice. Mainly because with one more person, it meant he would get less to eat.
Fortunately, Yuan Tiantian didn't hear it. Otherwise, she would definitely roll her eyes at Bai Ying.
A person who had to eat a whole pot of staple food for every meal actually dared to complain about not having enough?
