The lottery event hosted by Bai Jingyang has its deadline for forwarding the event set at 24:00 tonight, and the winning list will be announced at 12:00 noon tomorrow. Thanks to the lottery, the number of forwards of the official Weibo post of Sweet's Gourmet Shop quickly exceeded a thousand. Seeing this, Bai Jingyang beamed with joy, while Yuan Tiantian in the kitchen was utterly bewildered.
Just then, Si Mo told her that the popularity value of the gourmet shop had reached 5,000, and the system would reward a lucky wheel spin for reaching this milestone.
Yuan Tiantian put down what she was doing and checked the system. Sure enough, the total popularity value was 5,310, with 2,310 points available for redemption. She had used up the initial 3,000 points, and unexpectedly, 2,310 points had been added just today. What was going on this time? Could it be the result of opening the Weibo account?
Putting this question aside for the moment, Yuan Tiantian quickly took on the lucky wheel spin. After all, each spin was only available for 10 minutes, and if she missed it, it would be considered a forfeit.
Looking at the items on the wheel, Yuan Tiantian was completely taken aback. This time, they were neither ingredients nor kitchen utensils, but rather something even more peculiar. There were a total of five slots on the wheel, three of which were "Thank you for participating," and the other two, judging from the patterns, looked like chocolates. However, the labels read "Truth Pill" and "Strength Pill."
What on earth were these? Driven by her intense curiosity, Yuan Tiantian rubbed her hands vigorously. She hoped that this time she wouldn't get another "Thank you for participating." Perhaps her bad luck from last time had passed, as she finally won the Truth Pill. Looking at the small black, odorless marble-sized ball in her hand, she was deeply shocked.
Truth Pill: The consumer will speak nothing but the truth for an hour after taking it.
What a wonderful item! Yuan Tiantian carefully put it away, thinking that such a high - level "item" might come in handy someday.
Later, she found out that it was all thanks to Bai Jingyang that the popularity value had increased by 2,310 today. Yuan Tiantian saw the news on the gourmet shop's Weibo and patted Bai Jingyang on the shoulder in approval.
"Good job! Your dinner is on the house tonight!"
Bai Jingyang was a great contributor to today's success, so Yuan Tiantian was generous. Bai Jingyang thought to himself that he should work even harder to maintain the official account!
However, it seemed that while one was having a good time, another might be in a daze. There were few customers in the shop tonight, only Bai Jingyang and his friends, along with Jiang Shen. Around 9 p.m., after they all left, Yuan Tiantian was about to close the shop when Jiang Shen came back. He didn't enter but just looked at Yuan Tiantian nervously.
"Boss, are you hiring?"
Yuan Tiantian had thought Jiang Shen had something else to say, but unexpectedly, he was inquiring about a job. Looking at his emaciated figure, Yuan Tiantian wondered if his family was in a difficult situation. But it didn't seem right, as he had ordered the full - set meals for lunch and dinner today. If his family was really in trouble, he probably wouldn't have come here to enjoy such a sumptuous meal.
"I don't have any other requirements. You don't even need to pay me. Just provide me with food and accommodation!"
Jiang Shen noticed the hesitation in Yuan Tiantian's eyes and quickly added. However, this made Yuan Tiantian frown even more. No salary, just food and accommodation? This didn't seem very reliable!
"Why? You'll be at a complete disadvantage doing this!"
Yuan Tiantian didn't beat around the bush and asked directly. To her surprise, she got another unexpected answer.
Jiang Shen told Yuan Tiantian his story. Afraid that she wouldn't believe him, he showed her his ID card and logged into his live - streaming foodie account named "Reins" on the spot. Yuan Tiantian, who had traveled through time, naturally didn't know this foodie streamer. But after seeing the information, she carefully compared it with Jiang Shen. He was indeed that streamer, although he had lost so much weight that his appearance had changed, but his general features were still recognizable.
Who would have thought that a big - eater streamer had been reduced to this state by anorexia? But he said that after eating the food in her shop, the symptoms had disappeared?
"Are you really free from anorexia symptoms?"
Jiang Shen nodded emphatically.
"I've tried all the food in your shop today, except for the white rice. I didn't have any anorexia or vomiting symptoms after eating the other food. I've been fine all day today, so I want to stay!"
Hearing Jiang Shen's words, Yuan Tiantian was startled. The white rice was cooked in an ordinary rice cooker, while the other food in the shop was either processed by the system - provided cooker or directly produced by the system. That meant Jiang Shen had no anorexia reaction to any food related to the system!
Suppressing her doubts, Yuan Tiantian wasn't an unreasonable person. Given Jiang Shen's special situation, he might really need to stay here for a while. However, she didn't need any more staff at the moment, but she would definitely need some when the two new private - room shops opened.
"Look, I don't need any staff right now, but I've just rented two new shops. If you can wait, come back after I've sorted out the new shops. How about that?"
Yuan Tiantian proposed this idea, and Jiang Shen immediately nodded. He still had enough money to last for a while. As long as he could get free food and accommodation in the future, he planned to stay here for a long time. He was currently staying with a local villager, and the accommodation cost was not high. The main problem was his daily meals.
After Jiang Shen left, Yuan Tiantian immediately closed the door. Bai Ying and Xiao Jiu had already gone upstairs. Sheng Jing was sitting in the living room. Yuan Tiantian turned around and saw his inquisitive look, as if he was pondering something about her.
"What's up?"
Yuan Tiantian was a bit confused. Sheng Jing came back to his senses, looked at her intently for a moment, then shook his head.
"Nothing."
After saying that, he turned around and went upstairs. This left Yuan Tiantian completely puzzled. She had no idea what Sheng Jing was up to. Unable to figure it out, she stopped thinking about it. She planned to go upstairs and have a good chat with Si Mo. Meanwhile, Sheng Jing's doubts were growing deeper. In the world of cultivation, if there was a kinship between people, they would have a mutual sense. As time went by, Sheng Jing increasingly felt a kinship bond with Yuan Tiantian.
This was extremely puzzling to him because it shouldn't be possible. He and Yuan Tiantian came from different worlds. If it weren't for this so - called plane, he would never have come to this world. What on earth was the reason?
Sheng Jing finally found the answer to his doubts one day. It turned out that this wasn't his first time in this world. Long ago, a deep bond had been forged between the two of them. But that's all for later. For now, Sheng Jing was full of doubts, while Yuan Tiantian knew nothing. She was busy chatting with Si Mo!
"Si Mo, can the food produced or processed by the system cure anorexia?!"
