It's none of my business. I'm just a lunch box seller.

"That thing can't hurt my restaurant."

"And then?" Jill asked again.

"Then... my store will probably disappear from Raccoon City. Raccoon City is gone anyway, so even if my store stays here, there won't be any business."

"Will we meet again?"

Boss Cheng shrugged, and said with a sense of regret and relief: "Maybe, just leave everything to fate."

"Yeah, leave it all up to God to decide."

But Carlos suddenly complained: "Boss, you are so stingy. I thought you could give us the power armor, but you are only willing to let us dress up as Nacu's minions."

"Snapped!"

Michelle slapped Carlos on the back of the head and reminded him, "Be content, little bastard."

"Come on, Boss! I was just joking!"

0028 Father and Daughter, Father and Son, and Brother and Sister

At 9:30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on September 6, a missile carrying a small-yield tactical nuclear warhead was launched from a military base in Arizona.

The missile successfully flew over Raccoon City six minutes later. Then three mushroom clouds rose into the sky. The new technological model city in Colorado was razed to the ground by the nuclear bomb, and Raccoon City became history.

but……

"Didn't we agree to fry it at 6 o'clock? How come it's two hours earlier?"

As the hotel's roller shutters fell, the entrance to Raccoon City was completely closed. The inherent impression that "the local government is too rude" was completely rooted in Boss Cheng's mind.

However, he didn't know that America has divided the country into 6 time zones. The Eastern Time Zone where Washington is located and the Mountain Time Zone where Colorado is located are exactly two hours apart.

Unfortunately, Boss Cheng didn't understand, nor did he want to understand. He just believed that the local gangs were rude and no one could persuade them.

In fact, no one advised him. After all, apart from him, only the Traveler and Paimon were lucky enough to witness the moment when the nuclear bomb destroyed the city.

Little Paimon was amazed by the dazzling light of the nuclear bomb and exclaimed that it was the biggest, tallest and brightest firework she had ever seen. As for the destroyed city, she was indifferent.

The travelers were shocked by the power of the nuclear bomb. After all, only three explosions could completely destroy a city. Could the gods on Teyvat withstand such destructive power?

But Boss Cheng told the traveler: "Nuclear bombs, hydrogen bombs, and the like are nothing. In another world, weapons capable of destroying planets abound. But habitable planets are scarce resources after all. No idiot would be willing to destroy a habitable planet unless it is absolutely necessary, so the bastards of the Star Alliance deserve to die."

"Star Alliance?" Traveler and Paimon didn't understand.

"Forget it..." Boss Cheng sighed, then stretched his body lazily, "Let's get busy, someone should get up for breakfast soon!"

While helping in the kitchen, the traveler also told Boss Cheng: "Paimon and I are going to leave at noon today to continue our journey."

"That's right." Boss Cheng put a large basket of buns on the steamer. "All good things must come to an end. We should have a good beginning and a good end. After breakfast, you and Paimeng can take a rest. After you wake up, I will take you to the wholesale market to see what you need.

You should know that I don't have the currency you use. So as we agreed, all wages will be converted into physical goods at wholesale prices. Whether you use it yourself or resell it, you won't suffer a loss. In addition..." Boss Cheng called Paimon to get a bag of emergency food left by the National Guard, "Little greedy, try it and see if you are used to the taste of this stuff."

"Wow! Boss, the butter bread is so delicious!"

“As long as you think it tastes good,” the boss responded with a smile.

"Boss, the butter bread is delicious!"

"alright, I got it."

"Boss, the butter bread is delicious!"

Boss Cheng confirmed with the traveler's eyes and asked if Paimon had eaten something bad.

"Maybe... she watched some weird video again." The traveler whispered to the boss, "She kept yelling yesterday because you were so beautiful."

"You also practiced the Iron Mountain Backbone?"

"Yeah!" The traveler nodded continuously.

The damage left by the broken site is quite serious!

……

Around 9 am, Boss Cheng brought Traveler and Paimeng to the largest wholesale street in Hualin City. This is neither a comprehensive business district with tall buildings nor a more modern shopping mall like "Yiwu Small Commodity World". Instead, it is an open-air market made up of bungalows or small second floors on the roadside.

Because Boss Cheng wouldn't let Xiao Paimeng fly around in public, and wouldn't let her practice the Iron Mountain Leaning while flying, so she could only sit on the electric tricycle and let Boss Cheng push the tricycle for a stroll.

You ask where the electric tricycle came from?

It is said that everyone who does business must have a car, and the worst is this electric tricycle without a roof. Besides, how can Mr. Cheng go out to buy vegetables without a car? It is impossible to trouble the vegetable seller to deliver 10 kilograms of carrots and 5 kilograms of potatoes!

In front of the wholesale department.

"This!" Boss Cheng told the traveler, "This thing is a self-heating pot. There is clean water and quicklime in it. When the two meet, they will release heat to boil the water, thereby heating the food in the lunch box. Are you going to buy some to try?"

"Paimon thinks this little box is magical. Whether the traveler agrees or not, Paimon wants to try it out."

Boss Cheng nodded and asked the shop selling self-heating pots to pack beef rice and curry rice together in one box. The traveler put the whole box of self-heating pots on the tricycle, and Boss Cheng was responsible for the checkout.

"There's an instant noodle stall in front of us. You just pour boiling water on it and wait three to five minutes before eating."

"No wonder they're called instant noodles, they're so convenient! Paimon wants to try it too!"

"This is milk powder, mixed with hot water."

"Paimon wants to try!"

"Canned meat without zip-tops may have a shelf life of 36 months, but it is actually still edible even if it is two or three years past its expiration date. It is a very good emergency food that can save lives at critical moments."

"That... Traveler..."

The traveler nodded.

The boss then instructed the store owner: "Pick up 3 of each kind of canned meat and pack them into boxes...Put down the luncheon meat in your hand. Don't think I don't know that this brand of canned meat is full of flour!"

"You can buy more beverage powder and mix it with boiling water to make a fruit-flavored drink. You can make it strong or weak, it's all up to you."

"That's instant rice. You can only eat it by mixing it with boiling water."

"That's eight-treasure porridge. You can eat it right after you open the lid. It's very convenient."

"These are funeral chips. The air in the package is more expensive than the chips."

"This is a bag of Texas Braised Chicken that's so delicious you can eat two chicken heads out of it."

“This is beef jerky made from duck breast.”

“This is a pork pho made from chicken breast.”

"This is... How does the Chongqing hotpot base taste? You can't just chew it dry, even if it looks delicious!"

Paimeng finally paid the price for his greed. It can only be said that Chongqing hot pot base looks really tempting, otherwise Paimeng would not have been able to perform the magical operation of raw Ken butter base.

If the promoter of Hongbaolai peanut milk had not "arrived" in time, it would have given little Paimeng a chance to relieve the spiciness and greasiness. Otherwise, little Paimeng would probably have died on the spot because of that big mouthful of butter.

"Hey, big brother, your daughter is so funny!" The peanut milk salesman laughed and said, "Why is she so greedy that she even wants the hot pot base?"

Boss Cheng could only reply awkwardly but politely: "Children always like to experience the world with their mouths."

"Oh, you better be careful!" The salesperson pointed behind him and reminded, "There's a tasting event of the devil spicy chicken wings over there, you must ask her brother (referring to the traveler) to watch her! What if the child gets hurt by the spiciness?"

0029 Lala Fertilizer and Lala Fertilizer

The trip cost 1739 yuan, of which 979 yuan was spent on food and daily necessities, 2 yuan on a 1.5m*420m disaster relief emergency tent, and 340 yuan on a second-hand tricycle.

In fact, this amount is far more than the salary of Paimon and the traveler.

But as mentioned above, apart from his eagerness to pay back the loan owed to the system, Boss Cheng doesn't care about "money" at all. This is not only because he "saved" two or three million from his "hard work before". It is also because the storage box that the boss has not found yet still contains the garbage that exploded from the treasure chest.

Note: "Trash in the treasure chest" generally refers to gold.

It can be said that after the traveler and Paimeng followed Boss Cheng out for a walk, their problems with food, clothing, housing and transportation were all solved. In particular, the second-hand three-wheeled bicycle directly solved the travelers' rigid needs of loading goods and traveling long distances.

However, the traveler doesn't know that in order to help him solve his worries, Boss Cheng has chosen tricycles for him that all have solid tires!

Anyway, as long as the bicycle is not stolen, it is no problem to ride it for three to five years.

suddenly!

The front door of the Box Restaurant was pushed open, and Paimon, who was floating in the air, turned around to look, but no guests came in. The traveler patted Paimon and pointed down, and Paimon saw three dwarfs, only about one meter tall and with big heads, walking into the restaurant with their short legs.

After seeing Paimon, the dwarves exclaimed, "Wow! Why can this little Labrador fly?"

"Hate it! Paimon is not a fat latina!"

But the three guests walked up to Paimon's feet, looked up and pointed at Paimon and asked, "If you are not Lala Fatty, why do you look so much like us?"

This……

Regarding this, Paimon really didn't know how to explain it.

Are you saying that you haven't grown up yet?

But her head is clearly about the same size as an adult's. Could it be that she suffers from dwarfism?

"Hate it! Anyway, Paimon is not a fat latina."

"Haha, stupid girl." A fat lesbian customer shook her long hair and questioned Paimon: "Do you really think that as long as you don't admit your identity as a fat lesbian, you won't be reduced to food? The right to survive must be fought for by our own hands!"

"I……"

"We are the initiators and promoters of the Declaration Against Discrimination Against Lala Fertilizer and the Convention Against Illegal Trade in Lala Fertilizer. I hope you can join our team and contribute your strength to all compatriots who are being persecuted!"

"But Paimon is really not..."

"Hey, hey, you three, hurry up!" The boss came to Paimeng's rescue in time, "Why are you following those pyramid schemers and recruiting others to join? Are you here to promote today, or to eat?"

The three of them were about to answer "We came here to drink soda", but suddenly a hint of murderous intent flashed across the boss's eyes. So they changed their words and said, "We came here to eat!"

"Oh, there's a 8% discount for children under meters tall."

"We are adults, boss!" the three of them corrected immediately.

"But you are less than 1.2 meters tall, so you will be charged according to the child standard."

The three fat lesbians clearly got a bargain, but they felt greatly insulted by the boss for their height. But the boss's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent again, so they had to "reluctantly" pay the money and then happily went to get their food.

When the three of them drank the soda, they were even happier.

Looking at the three lesbians who were about the same size and head size as him, Paimeng's eyes flickered and he was full of questions. After a long while, Paimeng asked, "Boss, Paimeng is not a lesbian, do you believe it?"

"It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. What matters is whether you believe it or not, and whether you believe that I believe you or not."

"Emmm...Paimon trusts the boss and Paimon, just like the boss trusts Paimon and the boss!"

The traveler nearby was confused by the continuous "messages" and could only stare at the two people, one big and one small, stacked there in silence.

After lunch, the traveler and Paimon were about to set out on their journey again. Their tricycles were not only filled with the spoils of the market trip, but also with 60 extra packs of emergency rations given to them by their boss.

The reason why there were 60 bags of rations was that their tricycles could only fit 60 bags. If their truck bed could hold more, the number would be at least three times higher.

"Bye, Boss! Paimon will miss you!"

"You think my phone is the real one?"

Paimon:...

As the saying goes, "Even if you travel a thousand miles, there will always be a farewell." Because the boss knew this, he only saw the traveler and Paimon out the door, and then turned back to the hotel.

After a semi-temporary worker left, Boss Cheng had to put recruitment on the agenda. The system seemed to be aware of the hotel's labor shortage problem, so it immediately opened a subsystem for employees and salaries for Boss Cheng.

With this system, Cheng Tianyan no longer has to take people to the city to "shop" like he did in the morning. He can issue the currency of the corresponding world or country to the employees according to their world, solving the problem of the inability to exchange currencies in different worlds.

Therefore, Cheng Tianyan posted red paper inside and outside the window saying "Recruiting waiters, work six days a week, one day off, food and accommodation provided". The system will provide him with complete localized services, and anyone who sees the recruitment notice on the window will automatically recognize it as the text they are most familiar with.

In other words, it doesn't understand the magic sound entering the brain, nor does it force people to learn to read. Once you encounter illiterate people, no matter how good the localization translation is, it will be in vain.

The main feature of this system is a sense of reality.

The recruitment of Heyan Restaurant was going relatively smoothly. Not long after Boss Cheng posted the red paper, the war refugees from the Rain Country absorbed the four recruitment places internally.

However, these people were mostly short-term workers, and almost everyone would resign and change jobs after working for three or four days. Only then did Boss Cheng realize that these people were probably taking turns to fleece him.

Just take it, he doesn't need that little money anyway. The real thing is not to delay the restaurant's business.

Soon, the temporary task issued by the system was completed. Boss Cheng not only got a new recipe, but also had his loan to the system wiped out by 50 yuan. But compared to the remaining 1940 million yuan in debt, the 50 yuan that was wiped out was better than nothing.

Although the mission was completed, the number of refugees from the Rain Country did not decrease, and even increased, gradually becoming a crowd. It was so difficult to find a bed in the apartment that Cheng Tianyan had to open the teaching building to let the refugees take shelter in the classroom.
