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

Chapter 606 Malatang

Upon hearing this, Lu Li gasped, even though a hundred crystal cores weren't a lot for her.

But for ordinary residents, this is enough to live on for two months. If they use it sparingly, three months is not out of the question.

Are you using all that money to buy this stuff that's neither edible nor drinkable? It doesn't even have any collectible value, what a waste!

Lu Li cursed these people in her heart.

I don't know who started this trend.

"If you see posts like this again in the future, please urge everyone not to buy them, or say that Boss Lu never signs autographs for others, and even if he does, they are fake."

"Make sure they spend their money wisely and don't go looking for these crooked and shady things," Lu Li instructed.

Everyone nodded in unison.

Although there are many people online offering large sums of money for autographs, I've never actually met one in my own life.

They didn't think anyone would spend hundreds of crystal cores to buy such a useless thing.

No, no, no, it's not that it's useless, it's just that it's not very useful.

After lunch, Lu Li started playing Plants vs. Zombies Hybrid Edition again, and had already reached level 40.

The battle was extremely intense, reaching its final wave, but just then...

Xiao Di called out to her, "Sister Lu Li, it seems like there's a first prize!"

"Wait, wait!" Lu Li muttered without even looking up, putting everything else aside until she got through this hurdle first.

Seeing Lu Li's tense expression, Xiao Di assumed she was doing something important and immediately fell silent, not daring to disturb her.

"Phew..." Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief. This level had been stuck on her for a whole day, but she finally passed it.

She stretched, as if someone had just called her.
Lu Li asked, "Xiao Di, did you call me just now? What did you want? I didn't hear you clearly."

Xiao Di said, "There's a first prize, and it's already been claimed. Sister Lu Li, would you like to go check it out?"

"Sure!" Lu Li agreed, it was a good way to clear her head, as playing for too long had made her a little dizzy, and she wondered if she had been eaten by zombies.

She got out of the RV and saw the shop that won the first prize.

Standing out in the crowd, it's a huge bowl. From Luli's perspective, looking up from below, the bowl appears incredibly large.

It is large enough to hold the entire sky.

The bowl is black.

There are red double doors at the bottom of the bowl, indicating that they are open.

Lu Li guessed that the shop owner must have already gone inside, so she lifted her leg and walked towards the super big bowl.

As I approached the doorway, I peered inside and saw square tables and round stools arranged neatly.

The only thing that Luli was unhappy about was... this round stool didn't have a backrest. How could a restaurant stool not have a backrest? What would you do if you got tired of eating?
Which way should we lean?

Along the wall was a row of freezers with three display shelves, each containing a plastic basin of the same size.

When Lu Li got closer, she saw that the bowls were full of vegetables.

Like sliced ​​potatoes, sliced ​​lotus root, taro about the thickness of a finger, and long slices of lettuce...

The other freezer was full of meat: sliced ​​beef, sliced ​​lamb, luncheon meat, spicy sliced ​​meat, black pepper chicken thigh meat, tender pork liver, spicy duck intestines...

There's also a freezer filled with all sorts of meatballs: beef tendon meatballs, fish balls, lobster balls, fish cakes, stuffed meatballs...

Lu Li felt like she had entered a mala tang (spicy hot pot) restaurant.

The thought flashed through her mind, and she immediately confirmed her idea.

This looks way like a mala tang (spicy hot pot) restaurant!
"Is this Boss Lu?"

A slightly confused female voice came from behind her, and Lu Li turned around.

She saw a girl with a bun hairstyle looking at her with a somewhat confused and helpless expression.

Lu Li nodded. "Yes, I am. Are you... the manager of this shop?" The girl with the bun nodded vigorously, looking flustered. "Yes, I am! My name is Lin Xiaoxiao, but I don't know what kind of shop this is, or how to run it..."

Hmm... this person doesn't spend enough time online.

She retracted her statement when she saw the teppanyaki tofu stall owner, realizing that many shop owners still needed her help and couldn't figure things out on their own.

But this gives Luli a sense of accomplishment in being needed.

She smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm here. I'll teach you step by step."

Lu Li's words were like a calming anchor, instantly putting Lin Xiaoxiao's heart, which had been in turmoil due to the sudden win of the first prize, at ease.

"Thank you, Boss Lu!" Lin Xiaoxiao said solemnly.

"It's nothing~" Lu Li waved her hand dismissively.

Lu Li had already confirmed with the system that this was a shop selling mala tang (a type of spicy hot pot), a place she was familiar with and often ate at.

If you want to eat hot pot but feel it's too expensive to eat once, you'll choose to eat mala tang instead.

Lu Li then explained to Lin Xiaoxiao what Malatang was.

"Look, here is the basin, here are the tongs, and here is where customers choose their food. Just pick out what you want and put it in the basin."

The basin, clips, and freezer were all together.

Lin Xiaoxiao tried hard to remember.

"After the customer has made their selection, they can bring it here and choose their preferred flavor." Lu Li then led her to the cashier, behind which was the kitchen.

There was a scale on the cashier's counter. Lu Li had just picked up some food to demonstrate for Lin Xiaoxiao, and was holding it in her hand.

She placed the dish on the scale, and with a "beep," a series of numbers appeared on the scale's display screen.

"This is the price of this bowl of spicy hot pot, and then it's just a normal checkout process," Lu Li continued to explain.

After payment, customers will receive a pickup code, and the dish will automatically go to the kitchen to be prepared according to the customer's chosen flavor.

Once prepared, the meal will appear at the pick-up point, and customers can collect their meal using the pick-up code.

When Lu Li and Lin Xiaoxiao saw meal number 001 at the food pick-up point, the whole process was over.

"Do you understand?" Lu Li asked Lin Xiaoxiao, tilting her head as she held up the freshly cooked meal.

"Understood." Lin Xiaoxiao remembered it; the process wasn't difficult and could be considered simple.

Lu Li nodded with satisfaction: "That's fine then."

Not stupid at all, I'll learn it after being taught once.

Seeing the shop owner's still somewhat nervous expression, Lu Li comforted him, "Don't worry, look, the process is so complete, you don't have to do the adding of ingredients or cooking of the mala tang yourself."

She pointed to the cashier, "You just sit there and see if the customers pay, isn't that simple?"

Lin Xiaoxiao thought about it and realized it didn't seem difficult, but she was always afraid she wouldn't do it well...

So he nodded, then shook his head.

Lu Li was amused by her and pinched her cheek. "Don't worry, I believe you. Just come to me if you need anything."

These words eased Lin Xiaoxiao's tension somewhat. She nodded emphatically, determined not to disappoint Boss Lu!

"I'll take you to your dorm first. You can settle in comfortably. We can open today or tomorrow, it's fine," Lu Li said softly.

"Okay." He said and walked out.

Lu Li glanced at the steaming hot pot on the table and called out to her again, "Wait, wait, are you hungry? How about a bowl of hot pot? Don't waste it."

The bowls used to serve the mala tang (spicy hot pot) are exactly the same as the building itself.

That is, they are different sizes.

Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she happily agreed.
