A leisurely life: I have a scenic area

Chapter 41 So this was what they were waiting for me!
Time flies.

Qi Yue felt like he had only been wandering around for a few days when it was Saturday again.

Construction continues at Qingfeng Mountain, but construction at the zoo site has been suspended because it is located within the scenic area, in order to avoid affecting tourists.

Qi Yue arrived at the scenic area.

It was already a bustling scene with crowds.

The reason is that after several days of promotion, many people in the city know that the garden in Qingfeng Mountain Scenic Area is particularly beautiful, so many people come to admire the flowers.

These days, it's rare to find a place like this.

They made a lot of money from ticket sales, but it wasn't enough to make ends meet.

Qi Yue then planned to build several commercial shops.

The little fox has become bolder now, and occasionally when there are many tourists, it dares to run over and find Qi Yue.

It lingered around Qi Yue's feet, letting Qi Yue touch it, and then ran away amidst the exclamations of the crowd.

The garden landscape is already packed with people.

It can support the flow of visitors to the scenic area and provide tourists with something to do.

Qi Yue was very satisfied with the goodwill he had built up.

If this continues, we can accumulate quite a few favor chests this week.

The most useful function of the system right now is still the Favorability Chest.

I'm always filled with anticipation when I unbox a new box.

Amidst the bustling crowd in the garden landscape, Qi Yue noticed seven or eight butterflies fluttering back and forth in the air.

Most of the butterflies were quite small, like the cabbage white butterfly. There was also a rather pretty one with blue markings, which was probably a blue swallowtail butterfly.

It really does reflect that personal motto:
If you blossom, butterflies will come.

Tourists noticed the butterflies and took photos while laughing, creating a lively scene.

Qi Yue strolled around and felt very relaxed looking at the lively scene in the scenic area.

However, when he returned to the scenic area at noon, he found that a long queue had already formed in front of the Mixue Ice Cream shop.

This one milk tea shop simply cannot meet the needs of its customers.

It seems we need to open a few more stores.

Opening the store is urgent, and we need to start planning next week.

The scenic area was bustling with activity, and the weekend passed quickly. Revenue for the week showed a significant increase.

Qi Yue has accumulated five favor chests in one go.

Now it's time for the exciting unboxing!

Qi Yue opened the first treasure chest.

[Host has opened the Favorability Chest and received a random reward.]

Please select your reward:

【1. Recipe: Crispy Potatoes】

2. Recipe: Stinky Tofu

【3. Recipe: Grilled Cold Noodles】

The Favorability Chest has a new reward: three recipes this time.

"Crispy potato slices? Stinky tofu? Grilled cold noodles?"

"Why are they even providing a recipe?"

"Then let's choose grilled cold noodles. We can make it occasionally and have it for dinner."

Qi Yue chose grilled cold noodles.

Next, Qi Yue opened the second favorability chest.

Please select your reward:

[1. Recipe: Fried Milk]

2. Recipe: Stinky Tofu

【3. Recipe: Grilled Squid】

Three more recipes appeared on the system panel.

Qi Yue looked at the reward with a slight sense of doubt.

What's going on today?
Did we accidentally spill the recipes?

Why did you issue two different recipes in a row?
Is there a bug in the system?
He ultimately chose the recipe for stinky tofu.

After choosing the reward, Qi Yue hesitated for a moment. Could the third favorability chest also be a recipe?

Surely my luck can't be that bad!

He took a deep breath and decided to continue opening the treasure chests.

[Host has opened the Favorability Chest and received a random reward.]

Please select your reward:

[1. Recipe: Fried Milk]

【2. Recipe: Grilled Squid】

3. Recipe: Sizzling Tofu

The three recipes resurfaced once again.

Qi Yue's face immediately darkened; he was somewhat annoyed.

No, come again!

This is never going to end!

Qi Yue chose grilled squid, then muttered to himself:
"I don't believe it anymore!"

"If you're so capable, make sure the fourth one is also a recipe!"

[Host has opened the Favorability Chest and received a random reward.]

[Please select reward:] [1. Recipe: Fried Milk]

[2. Recipe: Grilled Gluten]

3. Recipe: Sizzling Tofu

The Favorability Chest was opened, and three recipe images appeared on the system panel.

"I go."

"System, I believe you, I believe you, okay?"

People sometimes laugh for no reason when they're speechless.

Qi Yue smiled, at a loss for words.

[Congratulations, host, for triggering a special reward: All-conquering.]

[Receive all rewards from this Favorability Chest.]

Just then, the system notification sounded.

This time it's good news; I received three recipes at once.

But looking at the recipes he received, Qi Yue couldn't feel happy at all.

It's best not to have too high expectations.

"Let's open the last treasure chest."

"I don't mind having another recipe."

Qi Yue, feeling utterly hopeless, chose to open the last treasure chest.

[Host has opened the Favorability Chest and received a random reward.]

Please select your reward:

【1. Yellow Multi-functional Food Truck Bus】

2. Blue Multi-functional Food Truck Bus

3. Red Multi-functional Food Truck Bus

"dining car?"

"So many recipes first, and now a food cart too?"

"What kind of combination is this? Are you suggesting I set up a food stall?"

Qi Yue looked at the last reward, his feelings were complicated.

He chose the yellow multi-purpose food truck bus.

After all, color doesn't really matter.

Qi Yue took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Getting the recipes is also good, since we won't lack snacks in the future.

Qi Yue learned about the function of the recipe.

Everything produced by the system is of the highest quality, and the system's recipes are naturally exclusive secrets, making the food taste exceptionally delicious.

He was about to go to sleep when suddenly, another system notification appeared.

[Start the mission: Set up a stall! Sell food at the scenic spot!]

[Task Description: Host, please set up a food stall during the weekend, sell 1000 snacks, and achieve high visitor satisfaction!]

[Note: Must be a genuine tourist.]

[Task Rewards: One advanced lottery draw, 10 popularity points]

Based on his experience, Qi Yue usually releases new system tasks about two weeks after the previous task is completed.

Sometimes it may be earlier or later.

It rained last weekend, and this weekend the garden landscape is trending on social media—exactly two weeks later.

It's time for a new task.

"I knew it! We had the full menu today."

"So that's what they were waiting for me here."

Qi Yue suddenly realized.

Everything is connected.

Very reasonable.

The task requires preparation over the weekend, and it's currently Sunday night, meaning he has five days to prepare.

"The recipes rewarded by the system are all high-quality recipes, and I also have the skills of a cooking specialist."

"I have no problem with cooking, let alone making snacks."

"The scenic area owner himself set up a stall to sell snacks."

"I guess everyone finds this strange."

"But it's quite interesting, and you can make money on the side."

Qi Yue felt a sense of anticipation before falling into a deep sleep.

The next day, the weather was fine.

Tourists frequently enter the scenic area to take photos.

Qi Yue began to focus on his career.

First, I received a food truck as a system reward. It's a multi-functional food truck, similar to a bus, and it's fully equipped with all kinds of kitchen utensils.

There is a deep fryer, a teppanyaki grill, a refrigerator, as well as storage cabinets, condiment cabinets, and so on.

Basically, you can make any kind of snack you want on it.

With the food truck, he began purchasing ingredients to make snacks.

Since he was making 1000 snacks, he didn't really grasp the concept of that number yet, so he bought more than he should have.

They are just waiting to set up a stall in the scenic area on the weekend so that they can show off their cooking skills to tourists.
