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

Boss Cheng seemed to hear the sound of something breaking coming from the handsome guy. Boss Cheng thought that this was probably the sound of self-esteem and dignity being shattered, and it was definitely not the sound of something like Kun Kun or eggs breaking.

The handsome guy whose important things were broken had to change the subject and introduced himself to the boss: "I am Zhongli, a friend of Wendy and the Traveler."

0300 The Temperature of Flames

"It's over! My melon!"

"It's over! My cabbage!"

"It's over! We can't go back!"

The entrance to Mondstadt was forcibly closed. Although the people in the store were wailing, no one objected. Even Wendy and Zhongli, who were trapped in the hotel, did not express any objection.

These two were gods, and they were well-informed, so they knew the dangers of unstable space and time. So when the view outside the window turned into chaos, they seemed to feel more at ease.

Only the girl who stole melons and cabbages not long ago was completely confused. She thought that she had traveled thousands of miles to the wilderness of Mondstadt to visit a "cooking fairy" who was a great cook. In the end, not only did she not find the fairy, but she also ended up homeless.

"What are you afraid of? Once you solve the fluctuation problem of the transmission exit, you can get out."

"Really?" The girl asked in shock and fear as she looked at the ferocious bald man in front of her.

"Really!" Wendy helped Boss Cheng explain, "Boss is a very nice person. Not only does his restaurant have good wine, but his cooking skills are no less than any of the great chefs in Liyue City."

The girl asked curiously again: "Is he better than Master Mao from Wanmin Hall?"

But while the girl was waiting for an answer, Zhongli calmly asked her, "Do you want to find out the reputation of your own restaurant without revealing your identity?"

After that, Zhongli told Wendy: "She is the daughter of Master Mao, the boss of Wanmin Hall. Her name is Xiangling."

"Eh?" Wendy also asked Zhongli bluntly: "This girl... could it be the legendary young master of Wanmin Hall who never cooks properly?"

Zhongli continued to nod calmly.

Wendy turned around and said to Xiangling, "If you are here to find a restaurant, I think this is the one for you."

"Eh? But the legendary cooking immortal is obviously a very handsome immortal, at least he can't be much uglier than Zhongli Keqing! But..."

"You want to say I'm bald?"

After that, Boss Cheng went to Central Park and snapped his fingers. When he came back, he had a hedgehog head, eyebrows, and a cool mustache around his mouth.

“Now you look handsome!”

Although the boss's appearance was much better than that of a bald man, Xiangling wanted to reserve her opinion on whether he was handsome or not and did not want to comment.

She didn't want to comment, and the boss didn't want to pay attention to the melon thief either. Zhongli ignored the awkward atmosphere in the restaurant and asked the boss how much he had to pay for damaging the truck.

But the boss told Zhongli: "No need to pay, it's broken. Anyway, I was planning to buy Wendy a faster and more stable one!"

"Eh? Is the boss going to buy me a new car?"

The boss shrugged and told Wendy: "Strictly speaking, that thing is no longer a car, but a transport-type anti-gravity aircraft. It has no wheels and can float in the air."

"How high can it fly?" Zhongli suddenly frowned, looking worried.

"In theory, you can fly freely below 5 meters."

But when the boss said this, even Wendy frowned.

"Can its flying altitude be limited to below 100 meters relative to the ground?" Wendy asked.

"You mean... it's dangerous to fly high?"

At this time, Zhongli spoke again and asked the boss if he had ever test-flown this kind of aircraft in Mondstadt.

The boss nodded and replied, "We have tested it, but it only flew less than 3 meters at that time."

"When did it happen?" Wendy asked.

"About two months ago... Shit!" Boss Cheng realized the key point and asked the two people: "You mean to say that the instability in my store is because... I am being targeted?"

Neither of them answered Boss Cheng's question, but silence was more powerful than words at this point, as the boss had understood what they wanted to say. Wendy then asked the boss if he could replace him with a "truck" that had never flown that high, or had never appeared on the land of Mondstadt. After all, driving a "truck" that could fly 5 meters out would easily lead to divine punishment.

"Yes, there are, but the ones that are being watched can pull 720 tons at a time. If the 720-ton one is not available, then there will only be the 240-ton small one. However, this small one can only be 10 meters off the ground at most, and its speed is not as fast as the big one. You can even say that it is a big truck without long wheels. The advantage is that it will make much less noise, basically the same as a normal diesel truck."

"240 tons?"

The 240-ton carrying capacity is definitely enough for "small business" people like the boss and Wendy. In fact, the reason why the boss wanted to replace Wendy with a flying vehicle was mainly because Kong sent a letter to Wendy saying that he could do business in Inazuma Country. But the problem is that going to Inazuma Country requires crossing the sea, so the boss had the idea of ​​replacing Wendy with a "car".

Moreover, with the volume of trade in the world of Mondstadt, if the 720-ton cargo warehouse were filled up, the goods would be enough to sell in Mondstadt and Liyue for three to four months.

Unfortunately, the big ship was targeted, so the boss had to take Wendy and Zhongli to the base to check out the five or six "Piaopiao" machines that the boss almost turned into mobile kitchens. (Explanation: The same model that was used to turn Angel into a mobile restaurant.)

You ask why Zhongli also joins Wendy in the fun? Because Zhongli is a full-time "driver" hired by Wendy. He is a pure worker with only a fixed salary and commission, no shares, and no five social insurances and one housing fund.

Boss Cheng pulled Wendy aside and asked him, "No, are you sure he is just a worker and not a victim?"

"He lost his job some time ago, and has been acting like a social outcast ever since. If I hadn't been helping him these past few months, he would have almost starved to death."

But the boss stared at Wendy and said, "Really? I don't believe it."

"Hey!"

"Hey! Don't think you can get away with it by being cute and funny!"

Zhongli, who almost became a social outcast, was now circling around the 25-meter-long "Piaopiao". He lamented that the creation technology of the other world had already far surpassed that of Kanreya, and had even caused the fear and even fear of a certain...

Zhongli believed that there was probably a powerful force behind the restaurant owner that made them dare not act rashly. In the past, if there was a force that could threaten them or the world, it would have been destroyed like Kanreya or Shar-Fendenir.

Otherwise, when they came to the boss, why would they only dare to use such an unusually gentle method as expulsion?

But even if they were driven away, they didn't understand.

Zhongli believed that the power hidden behind Boss Cheng was probably a group of supreme rulers who were truly high and mighty, serious and could decide other people’s life and death with just a single word!

"Want to go up and try it?"

Boss Cheng saw Zhongli standing by the cockpit for a long time, so he invited him to get in the "car" and try it out.

But the first reaction of the great Rock King was to ask the boss: "This car... judging from its appearance, it's really not cheap, right?"

The boss shrugged and said arrogantly: "I don't have any concept of money. As long as I don't have to take out a loan of several billion Pt, other expenses are just a few digits to me."

"But..."

"It's okay. There's a driving simulation program." To dispel Zhongli's concerns, the boss explained, "Just sit in the driver's seat. The car doesn't really need to move. The simulation program can simulate the environment and teach you how to drive this Piopiao. Once you pass the test of the driving simulation program, your skills will be good enough for you to drive it anywhere."

"Really?" Zhongli exclaimed coldly, "If the boss is not joking, this is really quite interesting."

After getting over the awkward period of failing to act cute, Wendy also came up to her boss and took pictures of her "new car", sighing that this car looked even more powerful than the last one.

"Since we have nothing to do anyway, why don't we go up and give it a try?"

The two "local gods" nodded one after another, and the boss started the teaching program in the car after the two got in. Before closing the door, he also reminded them: "Just practice driving with peace of mind, I think the door will be open soon. Also, don't forget to come back to the store to eat when it's time to eat."

The boss left the base and happened to meet Shaoan who had just had his eyes repaired. But this guy was really strange, his blind eye was healed, but he still wore an eye patch.

"Warning myself what? No way! The only reason I'm still wearing it is because I'm not used to seeing things with two eyes. I put it on first to get used to it."

Well, it seems that the plot of "the prodigal son" does not apply at all in Shaoan.

Moreover, Shaoan does not know what it means to be "cautious" and "careful in words and deeds". Since he came to the restaurant, he has complained about the most advanced simulated flame electric stove in the kitchen more than once. He has repeatedly emphasized the importance of flame in cooking and repeatedly asked the boss to replace the electric stove in the kitchen. Like other Chinese restaurants, he replaced it with a high-fire stove that can adjust the fire power at will, but is not environmentally friendly at all.

"Yes, yes!" Even Xiangling, who was caught stealing melons, said: "Cooking is the art of fire. If there is no fire, can art still exist?"

"No, I mean, are you two so obsessed with the heating medium of 'fire'?"

Both of them nodded their heads firmly.

Then, a brand new set of hydrolysis hydrogen oxygen high-fire stove appeared under the awning outside the back door of the restaurant.

"Don't ask me why I didn't move this stove into the kitchen. I have to open my business today. I can't replace my perfectly good electric stove just to let you use a high-fire stove. Don't worry about how much this thing costs. How expensive can daily necessities be? It's just over 1000 Pt. Don't worry about it."

The two learned how to use the hydrogen-oxygen flame stove from Boss Cheng, but Boss Cheng forgot to tell the two "ancient people" the most important things to pay attention to when using the hydrogen-oxygen flame. As a result, the two people just lit the fire and opened a new iron pot to test the stove.

The iron pot was burned through by the light blue oxyhydrogen flame!

The high temperature flame of nearly 3200 degrees was directly sprayed on the bottom of the cast iron pot, and it took less than 10 seconds to burn a big hole in the iron pot! The molten iron also dripped onto the flame of the stove's ignition hole. If the stove's built-in fire and explosion prevention system had not been activated in time, the two might have been killed on the spot.

But the boss still received complaints from the project team: [Please, Mr. Deputy Minister, can you please stop the pace of you and your people doing stupid things for a while? ]

"What's wrong again?"

[Hydrogen-oxygen high-fire stoves have activated the explosion-proof protection program, what do you think? 】

"Oh shit!"

Before Boss Cheng could run to the back of the restaurant, he saw Shaoan returning to the store carrying a burnt iron pot.

Shortly after……

"Hello, Technical Department. I want to ask what is the melting point of Spartan alloy?"

[Generally speaking, the minimum is 7630 degrees and the maximum is 7680 degrees. ]

"By the way, if we use Spartan alloy to make pots and pans, will it be harmful to the human body?"

[What? Sorry, I...]

"I'm asking, if you use a frying pan made of Spartan alloy to cook, will toxic and harmful metals be leached out of the pot?"

[Please! Spartan alloy contains up to 21% vibranium. If you use this stuff to make a pot, it won't conduct heat! ]

"Eh!"

[Can you please tell me what you want to do?]

"My pot was burned by the high-fire stove with oxyhydrogen flame."

【…】

"What's wrong? Any problem?"

[The so-called fierce fire stove you bought, is it called "heating stove" instead of "heating stove" on the shopping mall page? 】

"That's about it, what's wrong?"

[What's wrong? Mr. Deputy Minister! This is far from right, okay? The thing you bought is for heating crucibles, not for heating woks! Other contestants use this machine to stir-fry alloys, and you use it to cook? ]

The boss didn't care about that and asked the man fiercely: "Just tell me if you can cook!"

[Yes!] The technical department was also very angry and answered directly: [You can fry! Turn down the heat of the heating furnace and replace the pot with cheap and easy-to-process hard titanium alloy. You can fry as much as you want!]

"Give me three sets of woks, frying pans, soup pots, and steamers. All large sizes."

【Pick up the goods in one hour. 】

"How many Pt?" asked the boss.

But the technical department replied: [It’s free, but you have to tell us the data of the heating furnace with reduced power. This data is very valuable to the entire competitive world, and we also need to design a new hydrogen-oxygen flame stove according to your data. ]

"Then can I understand that I am not the first one to buy the wrong one?"

[Then I'll just tell you, the idiots in the catering service department just ordered 600 wrong sets at once last week! And then burned 7% of the woks in their department! Now you understand why your three sets of woks can be delivered so quickly? Because we don't need to produce them for you now, but take 3 sets from them and give them to you. ]

After that, the technical department added: [Also, the data is urgent. Please test it quickly, otherwise I'm afraid they will burn the hard titanium alloy. After all, the melting point of hard titanium alloy is not as high as the core temperature of the hydrogen-oxygen flame.]

0301 Thunder over 20 years ago

Boss Cheng felt that the past half day was full of magic and surprises.

Just after lunch, the melons and cabbages planted by the restaurant in Monde's vegetable garden were lost. When the boss and Brother Biao went out to chase the thief, the restaurant was lost again. Then, there is always a way out, and the two rushed back to the restaurant when the restaurant appeared, but Monde was lost!

But it is said that every loss has its own gain. Boss Cheng lost Mondstadt, but before Mondstadt was lost, the restaurant first "got" the little girl who stole the melons, and then "got" a Mondstadt wind god and a Liyue rock king. The wind god and the rock king became the old drivers of Piaopiao Le, and the little girl named Xiangling also inexplicably became the kitchen helper of the Hedian restaurant.

But before becoming a kitchen helper, this little girl even worked with the restaurant's second chef to burn a pot...

When dinner time came, Boss Cheng and Shao An became Xiang Ling's mentors again. Xiang Ling even thought that she and Xiang Cheng were both from the same generation as Xiang Cheng, and even called Denise the master's mother!

Xiao Xiangcheng, who is always domineering, directly extended an olive branch to the new apprentice sister: "Don't be a chef anymore, practice ninjutsu with us. Once you learn ninjutsu, I guarantee you will dominate Liyue!"

Then around 6pm, the project team and the technical department briefly restored the exit of Mond. At the moment the exit was restored, a fat civet cat "Kucha" who was about the same height as Xiao Xiangcheng rushed into the store. He jumped on Boss Cheng and punched his handsome face.

Then Denise pulled the fat civet cat off her boss's body. Then, regardless of the fat civet cat's desperate struggle, she hugged the strange creature in her arms, covered its fat belly and started rubbing it hard.

Xiao Xiangcheng took the opportunity to take out his phone and sent a message in the group "Five-minded Family" saying "Cute things, come quickly". Then, supermarket owners, hospital owners, apartment owners, school owners and the mayor's office all came. And Rocky and his mother were the most enthusiastic in kneading the fat civet cat.
