The end of the world: I am linked to a mobile lottery store

Chapter 529 Opening Business

"Really, Boss Lu?" The shop owner didn't notice the slight perfunctoriness in her eyes; he was filled with satisfaction and excitement that his shop had won the first prize.

“Really!” Lu Li affirmed.

Although she was tired of seeing and eating braised pork trotters, Lu Li still led the shop owner to the front of the shop.

Pushing open the door, the layout inside is very similar to that of a breakfast shop, with about ten sets of tables and chairs neatly arranged, and a water dispenser and a refrigerator in the corner.

Next to the water dispenser is the cashier's counter, which is actually just a place for the shop owner to sit and doze off.

The whole shop gives people a simple and unpretentious feeling, which is very similar to the pork trotter rice shops that Lu Li remembers.

There is no kitchen; just like dim sum and hot pot restaurants, you can order by scanning a QR code.

After Lu Li came in, she asked, "Have you had lunch? Would you like some?"

The shop owner nodded eagerly and warmly invited Lu Li, "Okay, okay, you should have one too, Mr. Lu, it's on you!" He was very generous.

Lu Li smiled and waved her hand in refusal, saying, "It's alright, you can eat. I just had lunch." It was an extremely polite exchange.

The shop owner, completely oblivious to what was happening, maintained an excited and satisfied smile. "It's alright, Mr. Lu, have one! It's sure to be delicious! Braised pork knuckle rice!"

It's hard to refuse such kindness...

"Alright, alright, one order, please." Lu Li skillfully took out her personal terminal to scan the code.

She thought there would be many options, but it turned out there was only braised pork knuckle rice...

There are only small, medium, and large portion sizes available, and the side dishes are pitifully few: hot dogs, braised eggs, dried tofu, meat rolls...

There were also some side dishes, like dried radish, chili sauce...

How monotonous, was Lu Li's first reaction, but it's okay.

A shop that specializes in one type of food will attract more first-prize winners.

Lu Li ordered a small portion of pork trotter rice for herself and a large portion for the shop owner. After placing the order and paying, it took less than two minutes.

Two servings of braised pork trotters rice appeared on the table.

The pig's trotters, with alternating layers of fat and lean meat, are cut into pieces about the width of a finger, drizzled with a secret sauce, and smell incredibly fragrant. There are also a few pieces of green vegetables and half a braised egg as a garnish.

The shop owner's mouth was practically watering, but the two portions were clearly different sizes. He hesitated, wondering whether to show respect to Boss Lu and let her have the larger portion or...

As a result, Luli pushed the large portion towards him, saying, "Eat up."

The shop owner stopped refusing and picked up his chopsticks and spoon, taking big bites of the pork knuckle. It was soft and tender, rich but not greasy.

It's also incredibly delicious with rice. Take a bite of the pig's trotter and then a big mouthful of rice, mixed with a little bit of broth, and then another big mouthful of rice. It's amazing!

Wow, every bite is so delicious it reaches the very depths of your soul.

Seeing how much he enjoyed his meal, Lu Li felt that the pork trotter rice he was eating was not the same kind as the one she had eaten before.

They look exactly the same.

She didn't believe it. Could the pork trotter rice at this place be any better?

She picked up a spoon, stirred the rice in the corner, mixed it slightly with the broth, and then ate a big mouthful.

Yes, it tastes exactly the same.

She ate a few more pieces of meat. It was alright, not greasy. In her heart, pork trotter rice would probably rank third. The first place was the first time she ate pork trotter rice.

I was starving after a long day at work, so I randomly walked into a pork trotter rice shop, and wow, it was absolutely amazing.

No matter how much I eat after that, I can never taste the same flavor as before.

She was lost in thought when she saw the shop owner in front of her had already devoured the pork trotter rice. Hearing him lick the plate, Lu Li quickly snapped back to reality, took out her personal terminal, scanned the code, and ordered another serving for him, telling him to eat as much as he wanted.

The shop owner, holding the plate, looked at Lu Li with immense gratitude.

She slowly finished the small portion of braised pork trotter rice.

The large portion was quite large, twice the size of the small portion. It was already quite impressive that Luli could finish the small portion after just having lunch.

Adhering to the principle of not wasting.

The two put down their chopsticks and sighed contentedly.

Lu Li had to admit that the braised pork trotter rice was indeed delicious and not greasy at all; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to finish it.

The shop owner was eager to start business, so Lu Li took out the "Shop Manager's Guidelines" that she had made in her spare time and showed them to him.

It was just a thin sheet of paper, containing only a few strips, which the shop owner quickly glanced at.

Make sure to remember it in your heart.

He stared wide-eyed at Lu Li and asked expectantly, "Can I open for business now?"

“Of course.” Lu Li nodded and stood up.

We pushed open the door of the pork trotter rice shop together with the owner.

Because it faces the lottery shop, there's a lot of foot traffic, so there's no need to call out; the group of people come just by smelling the aroma. The shop owner is also a well-known figure in the Erlang base.

He generously introduced the shop and invited everyone to come in and eat.

There aren't many tables and chairs, only ten sets in total. If it's not crowded, it can seat forty people, and if it's crowded, it can seat fifty people.

It can only accommodate a very small number of customers.

The shop owner started to worry, his eyes narrowed, and he said to Lu Li next to him, "What should we do, Boss Lu? The space is a bit small, and it can't seat many people at all."

"Let's limit the flow of customers. Let this group finish eating before letting the next group go. Or we can open up takeout service so that they don't take up space and can take their food home to eat," Lu Li suggested.

"Take it to go? Great idea!" The shop owner's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously.

Under Lu Li's guidance, he successfully launched this service on the optical computer.

Soon, a QR code appeared on the wall. You can place an order by scanning the code. This QR code is only for takeaway orders. Once the payment is successful, you can place an order.

The purchased meal will appear at the designated location. Simply show the pickup code to collect it – it's simple and convenient.

After setting it up, the shop owner breathed a sigh of relief and called out to the customers waiting in line outside, "Come on, scan this code and take it back to the base to eat!"

There was really no room inside, but everyone really wanted to eat.

Left with no other option, I had to scan the code to pack it up and take it away, but I was also worried about whether I would get cold walking back in such cold weather.

But to their surprise, when they returned to the base and excitedly opened the lid, a wave of heat rushed out.

It was still warm! In such cold weather, to have a hot meal like this almost brought me to tears.

The pork trotter rice shops here are particularly good.

Lu Li concluded that it's because it's cheap and delicious. One crystal core can get you a large portion of pork knuckle rice, which can also fill your stomach. Who wouldn't want to have one?
She took the opportunity to ask the shop owner his name, and he replied, "My name is Wang Xin."

Wang Xin, Lu Li thought to herself. He was a rather rugged-looking man, big and burly, but he was quite meticulous in his work.

She stayed at the scene for a while longer, and only went back when she felt there were no problems.

Suddenly I remembered that the warmth from yesterday hadn't been fully delivered, and then I suddenly wondered if the shop owners would still fall into a coma today from smelling the "smell of death".
Forget it, I'll go check it out. These people are such a handful!

She arrived at the clinic and found Luo Muan was well.
