OBS Chapter 41 Restaurant Opening
Chapter 41 Restaurant Opening
To be honest, this was the first time Mo Xuan had ever liked someone, and the first time he had ever given a girl a gift. He really didn't know what to give her, so he bought anything he saw on the street that he thought was nice, hoping that Lu Jinyan would like it.
Fortunately, his efforts were not in vain, and seeing the smile on Lu Jinyan's face made him very happy.
Chu Chu glanced at Mo Xuan, then at Lu Jin Yan, and covered her mouth, secretly laughing. It seemed that Jin Yan and Mo Xuan's good news was just around the corner!
Only Chu Li was there, laboriously sorting and moving things. After dinner, Chu Chu and Lu Jinyan helped Mo Xuan and Chu Li move all the things they had bought into the house. Looking at the drastically changed room, Lu Jinyan and Chu Chu both sighed, "It's true, having money is great!"
Mo Xuan wouldn't be leaving for the time being, so Chu Li naturally wouldn't leave either. Therefore, Lu Jinyan cleaned up the room next to Mo Xuan's for Chu Li to stay in. Fortunately, there were extra rooms, otherwise he would have nowhere to stay.
Over the next four days, the four of them completely transformed the house. The main reason was that Mo Xuan had bought too many things, so they simply replaced all the original furniture.
Since she had already bought them, it would be a waste not to use them. So Lu Jinyan gritted her teeth and replaced all the furniture in the house. After consulting with Aunt Chun, she piled all the old furniture in the woodshed to be used as firewood.
In four days, Lu Jinyan watched as the Mandarin Duck Stone successfully raised her favorability rating to 92. What frustrated her was that Mo Xuan was supposed to like her, so why hadn't anything else increased her favorability rating in four days, except for using the Mandarin Duck Stone?
Lu Jinyan seriously doubted the reliability of the system's intuition! However, she was only eight o'clock away from success, so she could only keep trying. Early in the morning, Lu Jinyan got up. Breakfast consisted of steamed buns and porridge, along with some side dishes she had made.
After breakfast, as usual, I gave Moxuan a pair of mandarin duck stones.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully used 1 Mandarin Duck Stone!"
"Ding! Mo Xuan's favorability +1, current favorability 93. Please keep up the good work, host!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully raised your favorability rating to 93%. Rewards: 1000 points, 100 Mandarin Duck Stones, 20 Cultivation Pills, 1000 Demon Crystals, 2 Spirit Rhinoceros Earrings, 2 Jade Bracelets, 10 Mermaid Pearls, 2 Fire Fox Fur Coat, 2 Flowing Cloud Robes, 2 Crimson Sky Robes, 2 Moon Goddess Bells, and 2 Ruyi Qiankun Fans."
"Hey! Seven points left, keep going, Pikachu!" Lu Jinyan cheered herself up and asked the system to synthesize the low-level Shadow Riding Bracelet into a mid-level one. She had a bunch of them piled up in her space, so she asked the system to calculate which ones could be synthesized and then used them all to synthesize.
Keeping the lower-level ones isn't very useful; combining them will greatly increase their power and make them much more survivable.
Her space was already overflowing with clothes and weapons, which she hadn't combined yet. Today she had something to do, so she asked the system to help her clean up and combine them.
Although the system was not very willing, the thought that synthesis also required points and that she could make a small profit made her feel much more at ease.
After arranging things, Lu Jinyan took Chuchu out. Today was the opening day of Uncle Mu's restaurant, and as a nominal owner, she should go and take a look.
These days have passed, and she's almost hallucinating from taking drugs. She finally managed to get her cultivation level up to 10 points. Damn, this is really difficult!
Mo Xuan originally wanted to go with Lu Jinyan, but since Uncle Mu and the others hadn't met him yet, it wouldn't be appropriate to go rashly. So he only prepared a gift and asked Lu Jinyan to take it with her, planning to visit her at a more suitable time later.
Lu Jinyan didn't say much. She accepted the gift and then took Chu Chu out. The restaurant was opening today, and the entrance was crowded with people early in the morning. After all, everyone was curious about who would choose to open a shop in such an inconspicuous place.
The temperature gradually dropped, and everyone put on thick clothes. After Lu Jinyan and Chuchu arrived, Uncle Mu arranged for people to set off firecrackers, said a few words, and then announced that the business was officially open for business.
As per Lu Jinyan's request, all dishes will be half price for the first three days after opening, and will return to normal price after three days. If you want to enjoy the discount in the long term, you can also take advantage of these three days to recharge. The amount of demon crystals recharged is clearly marked, and the more you recharge, the greater the discount.
Then there are also promotions where you get a free dish or drink if you spend over a certain amount. It's unavoidable, since the store's location isn't great, so we have to rely on these promotions to attract customers in the early stages. Once they've tried the food, they'll come back without a doubt.
Lu Jinyan was very confident in her cooking skills; after all, the food in the demon realm was truly awful.
On the first day of the restaurant's opening, everything was bustling with activity. Lu Jinyan and Chu Chu were especially busy, with the kitchen staff overwhelmed with work. The two of them even went to the kitchen to help out.
Throughout the day, customers came in droves, and everyone who ate there said it was delicious. In just one day, they made a lot of money. Although it was half price, it was only the first day, and the results were already very good.
The two ate dinner at a restaurant and packed some food for Mo Xuan and the other two to take home. After a long day, Lu Jinyan went straight to bed after washing up at home, as she was too exhausted to move at all.
Although she has been exercising recently and her physical condition is much better than before, she still can't handle such a high workload. Once she lies down, she doesn't want to move a single finger.
Seeing her like this, Mo Xuan didn't disturb her and let her rest well. He and Chu Li ate and went back to their room. Chu Chu was in a similar situation, also exhausted with a sore back and unable to move once she lay down.
For the next two days, Lu Jinyan and Chu Chu left early and returned late. As soon as they got home, they collapsed and couldn't move at all. The restaurant was doing so well that they were extremely busy every day.
Sometimes, when Mo Xuan woke up in the morning, he would be gone, with only a small red stone in front of his door.
On the fourth day, the restaurant returned to normal prices. The number of customers was slightly less than in the previous three days, but business was still booming. Finally, she no longer needed to go over to help, and she was able to sleep in until she naturally woke up, which was a rare treat.
When she got up, Chu Chu had already prepared breakfast and watered the flowers. Lu Jinyan yawned as she walked out of the room and saw Mo Xuan sparring with Chu Li. She habitually took out a pair of mandarin duck stones from her pocket and handed them to him.
"Good morning, Mo Xuan, good morning, Chu Li!"
