In Douluo Continent, what is a martial soul? It's like Luckin Coffee.

Chapter 204 Bai Ran, I want to eat golden butter fruit

After checking out the shops, it's time to get down to business.

Xiao Bing: Store manager, store manager, when can we launch our new products?

Bai Ran: There's no rush.

Unlike Luckin Coffee, every product from Mixue Ice Cream undergoes careful consideration.

First, it needs to be cost-effective; second, it still needs to be cost-effective; and finally, it still needs to be cost-effective.

Unfortunately, Bai Ran lost money almost every time she opened a Mixue Ice Cream store.

Bai Ran had roughly calculated that the Mixue Ice Cream shop inside the Sun and Moon Royal Academy would lose about 5000 gold soul coins a month if temporary workers were employed.

This is normal, after all, you have to make some sacrifices if you want to develop a following.

If you don't give believers some tangible benefits, why should they have faith in you as a god?

Bai Ran: How about we make a "beaten orange" dish?
Like iced lemonade, fresh orange juice is one of Mixue Ice Cream's classic products.

Furthermore, the method of beating fresh oranges is almost identical to that of making lemonade.

In addition, fruit stalls that sell lemons also sell fresh oranges.

I think it's definitely worth considering.

As for the price, is it 5 copper soul coins per cup?
Tsk tsk tsk, what about the freshly squeezed orange juice sold for 5 silver soul coins a cup outside Star Luo Plaza?

……

Xingluo Wholesale Market is the largest wholesale market in Xingluo City, or rather, the Xingluo Empire.

The left area is for wholesaling fresh vegetables, the middle area is for wholesaling fresh meat, and only the right area is for wholesaling fresh fruit.

Compared to the left and middle areas, the right area is significantly smaller.

It's strange in a way, but it's not strange in a way either.

In the Douluo Continent, fruit is not something ordinary people eat.

Even the cheapest artificially grown fruit costs several silver soul coins per kilogram.

The same amount of money could buy enough meat and vegetables to feed a family for more than a week.

Therefore, when Mixue Ice Cream sold lemonade for 4 copper coins a cup, it actually contained lemon slices.

It's no wonder that customers, especially those from ordinary backgrounds, become loyal followers of Mixue Ice Cream.

Mixue Ice Cream can generate faith power when sold to ordinary people, and Hajibe said he must write it down in a little notebook.

"Bai Ran, I want to eat golden butter fruit."

Golden butter fruit, also known as durian.

After bringing it home last time, Bai Ran didn't get to eat a single bite of the whole golden butter fruit; Rui Xue'er and Xiao Bing devoured it all.

"Not here."

Bai Ran remembered that the Golden Butter Fruit was a specialty of the Sun Moon Empire, and it shouldn't exist in the Star Luo Empire.

Even if such a thing existed, its price would likely rival that of a hundred-year-old fruit-type spirit beast.

"How about I buy you some oranges to eat?"

"I don't want oranges, I want golden avocados, I want them..."

……

The three of them walked around the market for a while.

And I actually saw golden butternut fruit.

When they saw the large, golden fruit, Ruixue'er and Xiaobing's eyes lit up at the same time.

They had experienced the deliciousness of golden butternut fruit before.

How to evaluate it?

It felt like eating a lump of moist cream.

Cream alone can become cloying after a couple of bites, but moist cream effectively solves this problem.

"Are golden butternut berries really that delicious?"

Seeing the two little girls standing in front of the stall, they looked as if they were nailed to the spot.

Bai Ran really didn't quite understand.

It's just a piece of fruit; no matter how delicious it is, it's still just fruit.

After eating it, Hajibe said: "Tell me, which food connoisseur invented the golden butter fruit?"
...When Bai Ran thought the Golden Butter Fruit was very expensive, he went up to ask and learned that the Golden Butter Fruit only cost 1 Gold Soul Coin, but it could be sold in batches of 50.

In addition, you will receive one free item for every 100 items purchased.

Bai Ran: That's not right. I remember this thing sold for 10 gold soul coins each in the Sun Moon Empire, but it only sells for 1 gold soul coin each in the Star Luo Empire.

Could it be that this thing actually originated from the Star Luo Empire, and the Golden Butter Fruit sold by the Sun Moon Empire was smuggled there?
"Can you finish it all?"

It wasn't that Bai Ran was unwilling to spend the money, but rather that he was afraid the two women would waste it.

Even if it's cheaper than the Sun and Moon Empire's, it's still 1 gold soul coin per piece.

The purchasing power of 1 Gold Soul Coin is immense; those who know, know.

A house in the heart of the imperial capital costs millions of gold soul coins, while one gold soul coin is enough for a family of three in an ordinary town to live on for more than half a month.

"How can we not finish it? We have a storage soul tool, so it can be kept for a long time without spoiling."

That's what Ruixue said on the surface, but in her heart, she probably already planned how to eat those 101 golden butter fruits.

Rachel: One for me, one for Xiaobing, one for me, one for Hagibis...

Xiao Bing: Hmm? Something seems off.

……

After buying the golden butternuts, the next step was to buy lemons.

One gold soul coin can buy 3 catties, which is still slightly cheaper than the Sun Moon Empire.

Bai Ran scratched his head, looking quite puzzled.

Could it be that the Sun Moon Empire has a higher level of development, resulting in a higher level of consumption, which is why its products are more expensive than those of the Star Luo Empire?
Bai Ran later realized that he had simply been ripped off by a dishonest merchant in Mingdu.

……

After leaving the Xingluo Wholesale Market, the three of them appeared to have nothing in their hands, as if they had simply walked around the market without buying anything.

In reality, the remaining storage rings in the hands of the three people were already filled to the brim.

"Back to the hotel."

I spent most of the afternoon browsing the wholesale market and bought a lot of fruit.

To be honest, Rachel felt a little tired.

All she wanted to do was get back to the hotel quickly, take a nice shower, and then get a good night's sleep.

As for the food that Uncle Ye originally promised to make.

How about we postpone it until tomorrow? There's no match tomorrow, so we can rest and relax.

"Hey, Rui Rui, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."

"Hakibai, what do you want to do?"

Seeing that Bai Ran was about to take her and Xiao Bing back to that shop.

Ruixue'er was immediately somewhat displeased.

Ruixueer: Bai Ran, he won't let his grandma carry his things, will he?

"It's nothing, just going back to the shop to discuss how to renovate."

"Is it really just about discussing how to renovate?"

"real."

If she hadn't been used as a forklift and hadn't been so exhausted that she fell asleep in the shop that night, Ruixue'er would have almost believed Bai Ran's lies.

Rachel: Haki White, you're a complete bastard!

……

Mixue Ice Cream (Xingluocheng Branch) will officially open in three days.

There happened to be a Shrek Academy match that day.

When the new store opened, the store manager wasn't there; instead, he left the staff behind and went to watch a game.

Such behavior is somewhat...

Well, even so, Bai Ran still did it that way.

Bai Ran: I'm really not a competent store manager.
