The first food stall in the wasteland

"Grandma Jin, good morning." Shen Lu held her arm and greeted her with a smile.

"Good morning to you too." Granny Jin smiled kindly, "Are you busy again?"

She knew how busy Shen Lu was every day. She was probably the most idle old woman in the store. Even Xiao Lang would go down to help every day.

"It's better to be busy. Others who want to be so busy haven't had the chance yet."

"Yes, the business in your store is really good."

The two of them chatted and laughed and went downstairs. Breakfast was already prepared, and Cai Su and the two service robots served it to the table one by one.

This morning I had meatballs, spicy soup and sesame seed cakes.

There are two kinds of sesame seed cakes, beef and pork. In addition, condiments such as spicy oil, coriander, and chives are also placed on the table in small bowls. You can add them according to your own taste.

After eating and drinking, Xiao Lang took Granny Jin to the backyard greenhouse for a walk. Deng Ying and the robot packed up the dishes, tables and chairs. Wu Jun and Huo Qian returned to their respective posts, while Cai Su went to the ingredient store to count the ingredients.

During the last expansion, Shen Lu specially expanded the original food room and added a low-temperature preservation function.

Unlike the small room in the past that could only hold a few hundred kilograms of ingredients, today's ingredient warehouse can store half a ton of ingredients and various seasonings and dry goods. The storage capacity has been greatly improved, so Shen Lu now places more and more orders each time. It's getting bigger.

Leave half of it in the food warehouse and the other half in Shen Lu to rent a second system warehouse.

She can slowly prepare for stocking up on groceries. Anyway, she has enough money on hand now, and with the store as a cover, stocking up on groceries is not particularly eye-catching.

Not only because of the natural disasters in the future, since she opened the store, the goods have been blocked twice.

She didn't know what happened this time, it was unblocked inexplicably, and she didn't know if the other party's conscience discovered it.

Although Shen Lu wasn't afraid of this, he still found it annoying. He might as well buy more when he could, so that he wouldn't have no place to save it.

In this weather, there is no need to pick up the food. The supplier will deliver it. After Xin Yu entered the store, he took off his coat and patted the sand off his body.

"It's better for you to live in the store."

Shen Lu glanced at him sideways: "There are many empty rooms in the store now. If you are willing, you can move in."

"Forget it, if I don't go back, my home will be too deserted." Xin Yu was heartbroken and shook his head.

The sweeping robot came over, sucked away the sand Xin Yu shook off, mopped the footprints on the ground, and returned to the base station with its light flashing.

Selling dine-in food today, Xin Yu cleaned himself up, changed his clothes and went to make noodles.

He can now take 150 pizzas a day, which is considered progress.

Shu Meng came a little later than usual. As soon as he walked in, he apologized profusely: "Kangkang has a slight fever. I'm not worried. I took him to the clinic for a checkup and took medicine before coming to work. I was delayed."

She had already told Shen Lu about this situation on the computer. Shen Lu was not the kind of black-hearted boss who exploited his employees. After finding out, he asked her not to come today and take good care of the children.

But Shu Meng said that there were elderly people at home and it would be no problem for her to come to work.

Xin Yu: "Huh? I thought Sister Meng and you were living together as a family of three."

Shu Meng's smile was a little forced: "It's my mother-in-law. She used to live in my eldest brother's house. Now it's my family's turn to take care of her."

Shen Lu probably understood as soon as he heard it. It should be that the old man gave birth to two sons and took turns to take care of them in their homes.

Shen Lu had seen many situations like this in his previous life, so it wasn't anything new.

The kitchen utensils have been upgraded to make dishes more efficient, which in turn reduces the pressure on the kitchen.

As long as there are enough ingredients, the kitchen will continue to produce dishes.

Now as long as dine-in is open, the number of daily tasks is almost reaching 5000.

Then there are the guests of Youlong Hall, almost all the mercenary groups in the lower city know Xiaolu Food. The number of tables Shen Lu entertains guests at Youlong Hall every week is also gradually increasing. Now he entertains up to eight tables a day, but demand still exceeds supply.

Every time, there will always be various conflicts for these eight places.

But everyone only argued in words and did not dare to take action in the store.

Because the people who took action the previous few times were thrown out by Shen Lu and put on the blacklist, and they could no longer enter the store to make purchases.

Mo Bei was on a first-come-first-served basis, and with the help of someone from the Gale Wind Mercenary Group working in the store, he could always occupy a table. Therefore, as his reputation among the major mercenary groups rose, there would always be people trying to get the spot.

Several times, someone bought a spot at a high price, and Mo Bei almost fell in love.

An excited person remembered his boss's warning, but he still heartily refused.

Shen Lu led Deng Ying in the kitchen to handle various shrimps, including fingernail-sized river shrimps, arm-thick Boston lobsters, pink and tender sweet shrimps, unusual-looking Pipi shrimps and common prawns.

Sweet shrimps are best processed. They are eaten raw and require almost no processing. Small river shrimps are stir-fried with small fish larvae for a spicy meal.

Boston lobster is made in two flavors, steamed with garlic vermicelli and grilled with cheese, Pipi shrimp is made into typhoon shelter flavor, and prawns are made into tomato sauce prawns.

"The first step in handling giant lobsters is to urinate..." Shen Lu explained to Deng Ying while doing it. Her movements were fast and precise, and it seemed very easy and simple.

Deng Ying felt itchy and asked if she could give it a try.

Shen Lu agreed and gave her a big lobster. Deng Ying imitated Shen Lu's movements and used chopsticks to urinate on the big lobster.

Unexpectedly, the big lobster was too fresh. Deng Ying was not strong enough to control it, so she was kicked by the tail. Not only did she drop her chopsticks, she also got a red mark on her hand.

Deng Ying looked surprised. Wasn't the lobster in Shen Lu's hand just now quite honest? How come she can jump three feet high?

Shen Lu smiled and said nothing. If she hadn't taken Guyuan Liquid, she wouldn't be any better than Deng Ying.

She stretched out her hand to help Deng Ying control the big lobster, peed it neatly, knocked the lobster unconscious with the handle of the knife, and then separated its head from the body with a knife.

"It's okay. If you have the opportunity to practice more in the future, this won't happen again when you become proficient."

Deng Ying nodded in an educated manner: "I will work hard."

The time for preparing food passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was time to open for business.

In less than ten minutes, eight orders came to Youlong Hall.

There are more than twenty dishes, and there are only five dishes.

Shen Lu quickly arranged the dishes and started cooking.

She is no longer as busy as she was at the beginning, everything is under control, the time is just right, and there is no waste.

The benefits of upgrading kitchenware are also reflected here, such as the steam oven, which shortens the steaming and baking time by 20% than before, but the taste is not compromised at all.

Dishes were brought out one by one and delivered to various private rooms in Youlong Hall by the service robot Mimi.

After finishing the last dish, Shen Lu let out a breath and planned to help Shu Meng cook some dishes.

Mimi suddenly sent her a message saying that the guest in Box 1 wanted to see her.

Shen Lu refused without thinking. How could she have time to meet guests? Don't delay her making money.

"He said he could give me an appearance fee," Mimi said.

"How much?" Shen Lu asked casually.

"Fifty thousand star coins." (End of chapter)
