After the divorce, he took care of his child and sold fried rice; his ex-wife was filled with regret

Lin Fan was washing teacups behind the bar when he heard this. He wiped his hands and walked over: "What's wrong?"

"It's over a thousand! The number of people dining in today has definitely exceeded a thousand!"

Su Xiaoxiao pointed to the summary panel on the screen, her face filled with disbelief: "We served a total of 1,045 guests today!"

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but swallow and explained, "In the past, our daily customer flow was limited to five or six hundred people, mainly because people would sit for half a day to eat mutton hot pot or noodles."

"But this morning we added pan-fried buns and soy milk. Many students and busy office workers would gulp down their soy milk and finish their pan-fried buns in ten minutes and leave. That means each table could turn over three times in half an hour!"

"Plus, you're incredibly fast at preparing lunch in the kitchen, like a god. Noodles and fried rice are ready in minutes, which really boosted the customer flow!"

Lin Fan looked at the data on the screen, his expression remaining calm and composed.

He had already anticipated this outcome when he upgraded the Tiangongfang cutting and preparation equipment and unlocked the [Multiple Control] skill.

Just then, a clear and deep mechanical voice from the system suddenly rang out deep in Lin Fan's mind.

[Ding! The store's daily dine-in customer traffic has officially exceeded 1000.]

[Achieving a milestone in business advancement: A constant stream of customers!]

[Special Item Reward: [God-Tier Constant Temperature Freshness-Locking Packaging Box]]

[Product Description: Made of bamboo fiber and vacuum insulation layer, this product maintains an absolutely constant temperature and perfectly locks in freshness and aroma. No matter how long it's stored after takeout, the temperature, crispness, and wok-fried flavor of the food inside will remain exactly the same as when it was freshly cooked; it won't absorb moisture, become soggy, or absorb other flavors.]

Hearing the system notification in his mind, a slight movement flashed across Lin Fan's eyes.

He used to be adamant about not allowing takeout, mainly because ordinary takeout boxes simply couldn't retain the aroma and temperature of the food.

Pack the pan-fried dumplings into a plastic box and let them sit in the steam for five minutes. The crispy bottom will be completely softened and sticky by the steam.

Noodles will clump together if soaked in soup for ten minutes.

Hot soy milk will lose its rich aroma if left to steep in a cup.

For someone who pursues the ultimate taste, that would be tantamount to ruining his own reputation.

But now with this [God-level Constant Temperature Freshness Locking Packaging Box], the problem of takeout affecting the taste has been completely solved.

Moreover, and more importantly, the upper limit of store traffic will be completely broken!

Previously, the biggest bottleneck restricting customer traffic, besides the speed of food preparation in the kitchen, was the physical limit of the dozen or so tables and chairs in the lobby.

No matter how fast he works or how high his table turnover rate is, the lobby space is only so big. A thousand people a day basically squeezes the dine-in capacity to its limit.

Many commuters and students in a hurry have no choice but to wait when they see there are no seats available.

But with this amazing packaging box, the situation is completely different.

Pan-fried buns, hot soy milk, and even beef brisket noodles can all be ordered, packed, and taken away immediately.

No need to reserve a seat, no need to wait for a table to turn over.

You can buy it and take it home or to the office to eat. The taste is exactly the same as when it's fresh out of the pot!

We're operating on two fronts: dine-in and takeout.

The store's daily customer traffic will be completely freed from the constraints of physical tables and chairs. It is entirely possible to reach a daily customer traffic of 2,000 or even 3,000 people!

Having grasped this logic, Lin Fan pulled himself together and looked at Su Xiaoxiao, who was still excitedly waving her arms and legs in front of him.

"Brother Lin, today's daily turnover is over 300,000, why aren't you excited at all?" Su Xiaoxiao blinked curiously at Lin Fan, who remained calm and composed.

"I definitely ran smoothly today."

Lin Fan calmly closed the data summary interface: "Save the data and archive the documents."

"Okay!" Su Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously, her fingers flying across the keyboard to save the data, her excitement not subsiding for a long time.

Lin Fan turned around, walked through the corridor, and went to the door of the small storeroom at the far end of the hall. He pushed the door open, went in, and locked the door behind him.

Lin Fan stood in the center and brought up the system store interface in his mind.

At the very top of the store list, a brand new icon has appeared, shimmering with a faint glow:

[Superior Temperature-Controlled Freshness Packaging Box]

[Exchange Price: 1 point/each]

[Description: Possesses the characteristics of absolute temperature control and perfect freshness and vapor retention. A temperature-locking beverage cup is provided.]

[Note: This product is for single use only. Once the lid is opened, the internal temperature-locking and freshness-preserving structure will naturally degrade and become ineffective, making it unusable. A matching temperature-locking beverage cup is provided.]

Looking at this line of text, Lin Fan glanced at his panel and saw that he had over 80,000 available points.

One point can be redeemed for a packaging box, which is a cost that is almost negligible.

Without hesitation, Lin Fan entered the number 500 in the exchange quantity field.

[Ding! 500 points deducted, successfully redeemed 500 sets of the [Superior Constant Temperature Freshness-Locking Takeout Box] (including a pan-fried dumpling container and a beverage thermos).]

The supplies have been automatically distributed to the current warehouse shelves.

The moment the notification sound ended, several stacks of packaging boxes and insulated paper cups were neatly stacked on the previously empty solid wood shelf, accompanied by a very faint white light.

Lin Fan stepped forward, reached out and picked up one of the lunch boxes to examine it closely.

Unlike regular takeout.

The box is very light, but it feels surprisingly thick and sturdy.

The outer shell has a simple and elegant dark green color with fine bamboo and wood texture. It has a delicate frosted feel to the touch, and is non-slip and non-sticky.

At the very center of the box lid, the four characters "林家铺子" (Lin Family Shop) are printed in small seal script using a dark gold, slightly raised technique, exuding a calm and understated elegance.

Lin Fan opened the box and observed its internal structure.

The inner liner is smooth and flat, with a natural water- and oil-repellent film on the surface. The lid has a deeply recessed sealing groove around its perimeter, ensuring a tight seal when closed.

Most importantly, there is a tiny one-way vent on the top of the lid.

When the piping hot pan-fried buns are placed in the box, excess steam will automatically escape through the micropores, preventing water droplets from condensing on the inside of the lid and falling back down, thus preventing the crispy crust at the bottom of the buns from becoming soggy and mushy.

The structure looks reasonable, but the actual heat preservation and freshness locking effect still needs to be tested first.

He returned to the kitchen, poured rendered pork fat into a cast iron frying pan, and placed four raw buns inside.

Pour in water, cover the pot, steam over high heat, then fry over low heat.

In just four minutes, a pot of pan-fried buns were cooked through and ready to serve.

Lin Fan picked up a spatula, scooped up the four sizzling pan-fried buns, and put them directly into the dark green takeout box.

At the same time, he scooped a full spoonful of boiling hot pure soy milk from the soy milk bucket next to him, poured it into the matching thermos, and tightened the lid.

He closed the lid of the pan-fried bun box and pressed the sealing buckles around the edges to tighten them.
