Chapter 201, themed "Jiangnan Elegant Banquet," explores a Chinese restaurant where cultur
Following the lazy principle of choosing "Unforgettable Chinese Restaurant" as a nice-sounding name, Bai Mengran quickly and decisively finalized the restaurant's name.
Next came the site selection. Since it required a large area of 5,000 square meters, Bai Mengran kept moving it back, eventually settling on a location about 100 meters behind the public toilet, where the street was lined with large shops.
According to her understanding, each floor of this luxury restaurant will present a unique local cuisine style. As the restaurant is upgraded, subsequent floors will be added on top of the first floor, each with a different style.
As the face of a restaurant and the key to building its reputation, the selection of the first-tier cuisine is particularly important!
Therefore, Bai Mengran first browsed the available regional cuisine themes and found that they mainly included eight major cuisines: Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Jiangsu cuisine, Fujian cuisine, Zhejiang cuisine, Hunan cuisine, and Anhui cuisine.
For cuisines with similar flavors, such as Jiangsu cuisine and Zhejiang cuisine, Hunan cuisine and Sichuan cuisine, and Fujian cuisine and Cantonese cuisine, the cuisine theme can be combined.
From this perspective, choosing a fusion cuisine is equivalent to unlocking two major cuisines at once.
Objectively speaking, the ancients ate light and had relatively simple tastes, so cuisines such as Shandong, Jiangsu, Cantonese, and Zhejiang cuisines were more in line with the taste preferences of most ancient people.
In addition, considering that this restaurant is positioned as a luxury restaurant, mainly used for entertaining colleagues or friends and family, the style selection also needs to match this high-end positioning.
Just as Bai Mengran was hesitating, she discovered that the system offered a theme preview function!
Since choosing a cuisine can be difficult, you might as well look for inspiration and direction by previewing its corresponding design style.
She focused on the four major cuisines selected based on taste.
The Shandong cuisine restaurant aims to create an elegant, comfortable, and culturally rich dining atmosphere by cleverly blending traditional and modern elements.
In contrast, Jiangsu cuisine restaurants present a completely different style, themed around garden landscapes, full of ancient charm, with a beautiful view at every turn, making people feel as if they are in the poetic world of ancient literati, and the dining experience is extremely elegant.
When Bai Mengran saw the preview of the Jiangzhe fusion cuisine restaurant, her eyes lit up.
The restaurant specializes in "Jiangnan Elegant Banquets," which cleverly blends the exquisite flavors of Jiangzhe cuisine with the poetic aesthetics of literati, creating an immersive space that resembles an "edible ink painting."
This fusion theme is not only refreshing, but also delivers a double impact in terms of both visual appeal and environmental impact.
After appreciating this fusion theme, Bai Mengran almost immediately decided to choose the Jiangzhe cuisine fusion theme as the style of the first floor of "Unforgettable Restaurant".
She found that this theme was more distinctive in its landscape presentation and more in line with her aesthetic preferences compared to other themes.
So, Bai Mengran followed her first impression and immediately chose a Jiangzhe cuisine-themed restaurant.
The system will then be luxuriously decorated according to the design template of this theme, which is expected to take a full day.
In addition, choosing this theme will unlock two major cuisines, which is like buying one and getting one free.
Although she had only briefly browsed the theme preview, Bai Mengran had already noticed many innovative aspects.
She felt that waiting a day to witness the birth of this luxury restaurant was absolutely worthwhile.
At this moment, her anticipation was at its peak!
"Tongbao, I'm done! The restaurant can start construction now. I'm so excited to see its brand new look tomorrow night at the same time!"
After choosing a restaurant theme, Bai Mengran suddenly realized there seemed to be no other work to do, so she checked with the system, "Is there any more assignments? If not, I can go home now~"
The feeling of having finished today's homework and waiting to get off work is the most wonderful thing, and that's exactly how Bai Mengran feels right now.
[Yes, host, you should rest now. You've worked so hard today, doing so much exercise. Leave the rest to me, don't worry about resting.]
The system is used to silently supporting the host from behind, letting the host take the lead while it handles the trivial details, trying not to add any burden to the host.
It's a system with awareness; it remembers and appreciates the many points its host helps it earn every day, and is always ready to help its host solve problems.
"Alright, bye then, Tongbao, see you tomorrow~"
After politely bidding farewell to the system, Bai Mengran got up and rushed to the battlefield. Work was over, but the canyon was finally ready...
Goodnight, host. Get some rest!
The system responded belatedly, but when it came to its senses, it found that its host had already disappeared, leaving only the air in the room to keep it company.
The system shrugged helplessly and went back to its busy work as a supervisor. There was a big project to be built today, and it had to keep a close eye on things!
And so, both leaders were busy until late at night.
Bai Mengran fought in the canyon for two hours before finally ending the game, feeling unsatisfied. She washed up and rested, knowing she needed to get some sleep as she planned to get up early the next day…
Fortunately, she has always had excellent sleep quality, and she fell asleep as soon as she thought of those words.
At 6:40 a.m. the next morning, the villa courtyard was quiet, except for a series of "whoosh...", "ha..." and "tap tap tap..." sounds that broke the silence.
Comrade Bai Mengran, the great mission taker, got out of bed the moment her alarm went off last night and is now immersed in her new day's leisure tasks.
Thanks to the spray essential oil that came with the leisure task she applied yesterday, Bai Mengran was pleasantly surprised to find that she felt no soreness at all when she woke up today. She felt like a normal person who hadn't been through any physical exertion, with no backache or leg pain, and was in excellent condition.
This discovery thrilled her, and she realized that painless exercise was like getting free points, so why not take advantage of it?
So, just ten minutes after getting up, she was already exercising enthusiastically in the yard again.
Seeing that the system was not yet online, Bai Mengran took it upon herself to imitate the system's operation, first canceling all the tasks she had already accepted, and then quickly accepting all the tasks that could be done in the leisure task bar.
Then, she skillfully started her workout routine with a squat.
Today she discovered that several new tasks had been added to the leisure tasks list, including walking 6000 steps a day and practicing the eighth set of broadcast gymnastics once, etc.
In addition to recreational tasks related to sports, a series of farming-related tasks have been added, such as plowing, sowing, and watering. It is said that these tasks have a chance to randomly drop spiritual plants and fruits.
These valuable resources can be recycled back to the system for money, or used to temporarily boost attributes.
However, Bai Mengran was a complete novice when it came to farming tasks, so she chose to take on the relatively simple sports tasks first.
After more than half an hour of exercise, Bai Mengran easily and happily completed all the exercise tasks except for the walking task.
Without the hindrance of muscle soreness, her exercise became exceptionally smooth.
When the system logged on with a yawn, it was suddenly shocked by a bunch of notifications that a lot of tasks had been completed, and it was quite startled.
After it came to its senses and examined the situation carefully, it couldn't help but let out a thunderous cheer...
