Scavenging Notes: I am the Lucky Star of the End Times

At the entrance of the hot pot restaurant, attracted by the aroma of the red soup pot with animal oil and inspired by Ah Lang's song "Temptation of Wolf", many people have gathered on the street in front of the Dejiuxiang hot pot restaurant.

Most of them are the wealthy and idle people in the inner city of Base 903. After all, who has the time to stroll around the streets in broad daylight if they are not working to earn money? Are they the apocalyptic version of street urchins?

These wealthy and idle street throngs who have nothing to do and do nothing are precisely Xu Sansan's target customer group.

"Is this hot pot of yours a kind of food?"

No matter where you are, there will always be people who are willing to be the first to try something new and come out to show their support at the right time.

Xu Sansan was dressed as a punk old lady, standing in front of the reception desk on the left side of the four doors. On the reception desk was a resin statue of the God of Wealth that she had dug out from the ruins of Kuanzhai Alley.

She looked at the noble lady in front of her and smiled slightly:

"Yes! There are all kinds of dishes, delicious and beautiful, you can choose from them."

As he said that, he took out a prepared menu from behind the reception desk. On the menu was written:

Signature pot base:

1. Animal Oil Red Soup Pot 500 Energy Value, or 1000 Points

2. Tomato Soup Pot: 300 Energy, or 600 Points

3. Scallion and Ginger Soup Pot 100 Energy Value, or 200 Points

Bottom specifications:

Leading the trend

Double-winged hot pot

Three-legged pot

Boiler fuel:

1:2

The fuel price in our store is high, so we recommend you to bring your own energy source, nuclear crystal.

Self-service small ingredients:

300 energy points or 600 points per serving

The prices on the menu were specifically based on the general exchange rate of the currency exchange point in Base City No. 903. The current exchange rate was 1 to 1.5, and De Jiuxiang specifically offered a high exchange rate of 1 to 2 in order to encourage customers to actively pay for nuclear crystals.

After all, only nuclear crystals are truly rare resources and hard currency!

The lady stretched out her chubby white hand, pointed at the size of the pot, and continued to ask:

"How do you understand this pot bottom specifically?"

Xu Sansan patiently answered:

“This unique hot pot is a whole pot with only one kind of soup base;

The Double Wings Flying Pot is a whole pot divided into two parts, so you can choose two soup bases at the same time.

The Three-legged Tripod Pot, as the name suggests, means that customers can choose from three kinds of soup bases.

However, if you choose two or three soup bases, the price of the soup base is directly added up according to the soup base price list, and there is no discount..."

When the lady heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up!

She just likes this kind of luxurious eating method that has no cost-effectiveness!

Pointing at this little piece of information again, he was a little confused:

"What's this again...?"

Xu Sansan knew that this pricing would definitely cause misunderstanding. Alas, there was nothing she could do about it. She could only find onions, ginger, and garlic, but couldn't get soy sauce and vinegar, let alone sesame oil and oyster sauce.

She had purchased the soy sauce and vinegar from Du Ziteng at a high price, so the prices seemed a bit outrageous due to the high costs.

The reason why Du Ziteng was able to provide Jiuxiang with soy sauce and vinegar was because his family's ancestral plantation could produce enough grain.

Although the soy sauce and vinegar production technology passed down by our ancestors is somewhat incomplete, after hundreds of years of continuous exploration and improvement, it has formed an industrial chain of considerable scale.

Otherwise, the big restaurants opened by their Du family in the inner city would not be able to prepare such fancy dishes!

Xu Sansan coughed lightly and introduced:

"Small condiments are our specialty condiments, which can make the food more delicious. Of course, small condiments are not necessary, it all depends on personal preference!"

The lady looked at the small condiments that were the same price as the base of the pot, and her heart was immediately moved. The brainless luxury style of this store was perfect for her aesthetic point, so the fat boy waved his hand:

"Give me a three-legged pot and a few more small ingredients. I'll bring my own fuel."

Xu Sansan was so happy that his face almost broke with laughter. He quickly turned over the menu and pointed at the dishes on it and continued to introduce them:

“As you walk, take a look at the dishes above.

How many people are there with you? Would you like to sit in the lobby on the first floor or in the private room on the second floor?"

The lady took a quick look at the hot pot restaurant:

"What's the difference?"

Xu Sansan explained with a smile:

"The private rooms on the second floor are equipped with soundproofing equipment, which makes them more private. Of course, they are also more expensive..."

When the lady heard that it would be more expensive, she adhered to the lady's principle of "not wanting the best, but the most expensive", and without thinking twice, she directly asked for the largest private room on the second floor. She decided to call her good sisters to come and have a look together.

Hmm~~~!

The lady shrugged her nose again, and the air was filled with the strong smell of hot pot:

Fragrant!

Really fragrant!

Tiechui, who was also dressed in a fake punk style and wearing a metal mask, hurried forward, took this wealthy customer from Xu Sansan's hands, and led him politely to the private room on the second floor.

With the first customer trying the waters, the rest of the onlookers also began to get excited, mainly because the smell was so delicious!

"Gulu——!"

"Gulu——!"

It is noon and the stomach is empty. Many people have begun to swallow their saliva unconsciously, and their dry stomachs can't help but beat the drums of war.

In the next 10 minutes or so, the punk old lady spoke eloquently and boasted about herself; the rich and idle people competed with each other and filled the venue.

Tie Hammer went upstairs and downstairs, and back and forth in the kitchen and lobby. It was even more tiring and faster than his previous missions. He was covered in punk rivets, which made a popping sound when rubbing against each other.

Xie Yuan, on the other hand, was working alone in the kitchen in the backyard.

I saw him slashing with the knife with such speed that it left an afterimage. Portions of mutant beast meat rolls, mutant cucumber slices, mutant winter melon slices, mutant tomato slices, mutant bamboo shoot slices... were arranged high and neatly.

It's funny to say, in order not to expose the secrets of the stagnation elements and the bamboo forest, Xie Yuan waited until all the fruits and vegetables he grew became slightly contaminated before picking them.

At this time, Ah Lang, after playing "The Temptation of Wolves" for who knows how many times in front of the hot pot restaurant, finally stopped the live performance at the command of the punk old lady Xu Sansan, and moved to the glass house to the right of the door.

The Jiuxiang Hotpot Restaurant is full, so Xu Cha has to hurry up and roll up!

After seeing off the last table of guests, Xu Sansan smiled apologetically at the enthusiastic customers who were still trying to squeeze in:

"How about you take a number first?"

As he spoke, he turned on the screen projection function of the light computer and began to register the diners waiting in line behind him one by one.

Another 15 minutes passed by, and finally all the customers waiting at the door of the hot pot restaurant were registered one by one. Only then did Xu Sansan breathe a sigh of relief and have time to check on the business of Xu Cha outside the door.

As soon as she stepped out of the door, she saw a long line that twisted and turned, starting from the small window where Xu Cha opened a separate window, and then twisted back and forth, making a total of seven turns, and finally stretched directly across the street!

I go!

This popularity!

Not bad!

It was the effect she wanted.

Thinking back to the past, ah, no, thinking back to my previous life, it was rumored online that when Heytea first opened its store, it relied on gathering a bunch of shills to queue up to create momentum, and marketed itself into a popular online celebrity store!

In this end times, her Xucha beverage, which is full of copycat flavor, may not become a huge hit, but it should at least strive to be well-known.

Xu Sansan looked at the group of "babysitters" in front of him, whom Du Ziteng had taken the initiative to arrange yesterday, and nodded slightly.

Since it is a collaboration, she and Boss Du also have a division of labor and profits.

The account is split 40:60:

She is six and Du Ziteng is four.

But Du Ziteng, as the second largest shareholder with a 40% stake, could not possibly invest with only two tea varieties. Not only did he need to be responsible for all marketing activities, he also had to provide sufficient protection for the Xu Cha brand.

How can the title of local tyrant be earned in vain?

Although Xu Sansan did not explicitly state the requirement of providing a protective umbrella, Du Ziteng has been active in the auction and nutrient solution fields for so many years, how could he not understand this business subtext?

It's just that one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten.

What's more, he was also carrying out a secret mission given to him by his great grandfather:

1. Get the secret recipe of genetic medicine;

2. Reclaim the Du family treasure.

Although the accident with the tea seeds made him and Xiaowei begin to doubt whether Xu Sansan really had the Du family treasure, at least the secret recipe of the genetic medicine was now absolutely true and certain.

Besides, he still has his own little thoughts!

snort!

This cunning woman!

very good!

You've really figured out the trick of playing hard to get!

Ah!

woman!

He swore that under the guidance of Du Xiaowei, a veteran in the love field, he would quickly win Xu Sansan's heart!

Therefore, following his younger sister's advice - seize the opportunity and show charm, Du Ziteng was quite active and attentive to the overall marketing of Xu Cha!

After Ah Lang entered the glass room, he immediately turned on the projection equipment sponsored by Boss Du, and immediately a unique drink menu was projected into the air:

Purple Jade Nectar (Raw materials: mutant grapes; base tea: mutant green tea)

Mango Lulu (raw materials: mutant mango; tea base: mutant black tea)

The Wizard of Oz (raw materials: mutant kiwi fruit; tea base: mutant green tea)

Ping Ping An An (raw materials: mutant apples; tea base: mutant black tea)

Crystal Love (raw materials: mutant pears; tea base: mutant green tea)

Standard price for drinks: 200 energy points or 400 points per cup

All ingredients are lightly contaminated fruits and comply with the base federal food safety law...

As soon as the light curtain was launched, a noisy sound suddenly arose, including passers-by and customers of Dejiuxiang waiting for a table at the door:

"Oh my god! They're selling mutant fruit drinks here!"

"Oh my god! They released 5 types at once!"

"I remember the mutant fruit drink. Currently, it can only be drunk at the auction. This year, a new product was launched during the Fengji period..."

"It's the Flaming Lips! I just drank it yesterday!"

“I didn’t expect that Xu Cha also sells fruit drinks!”

"I don't know if the ingredients are trustworthy! Fruits are hard to come by!"

Just as the discussions among the crowd were gradually turning into suspicion and sarcasm, suddenly, a group of whispering voices were heard from the crowd.

The conversation was neither loud nor soft. At first glance, it sounded like a whisper with the voices deliberately lowered, but in fact, it could be heard clearly by the people around.

"Hey! Don't you know? I heard that the Du family is behind this Xu Cha..."

"Ah?! The Du family from the auction?"

"Shh! Of course! Don't tell anyone about it. I'll just tell you quietly..."

"No wonder! We have to drink it quickly! Otherwise, those little bitches will call us country bumpkins again!"

……

Sure enough, the shills can’t just fill in the numbers, they have to come out to control the comments at the critical moment...
