Chapter 59 Convenience Store 2.0: A Major Transformation
Bai Mengran, who has excellent sleep quality, slept soundly through the night until she woke up naturally.
When she woke up, the sky outside was already slightly bright. She glanced at the time in her sleep and saw that it was only 6:10.
起？
Can't afford it?
Shall we get up?
Rise! (“▔□▔)
Without saying a word, Bai Mengran first sat up, then turned her body 90 degrees to the left and slowly moved her feet to the ground.
Knowing herself well, if she missed this chance to get up, she wouldn't be able to get up again for several hours.
As her feet touched the ground, the motion-sensor light under the bed clicked on. Too lazy to turn on the main light, she went to the bathroom by the light from the motion-sensor light and the dim light coming through the curtains.
I quickly brushed my teeth and washed my face, grabbed a coat, and went downstairs.
She couldn't wait to see what changes had occurred in [Fairyland] overnight.
……('-w??)
Bai Mengran stood in front of the convenience store, rubbing her eyes as if afraid she was still dreaming.
The 2.0 version of the convenience store has undergone tremendous changes!
The convenience store has been significantly enlarged compared to before; what was originally a single-story store has now become a two-story building.
Outside the door is a staircase with pure white handrails. The steps are in a gradient color scheme from milky white to yellow-orange, matching the color scheme of the convenience store's exterior. Climbing the steps leads to the second-floor area.
The second floor is mainly a place for customers to relax and enjoy their food after shopping at the convenience store.
It is divided into indoor and outdoor sections.
The interior space is entirely constructed with floor-to-ceiling windows, offering a wide view and allowing diners to enjoy the scenery outside from their windows.
There are partitions between the different tables that can be opened or closed.
If you want to be alone without being disturbed, simply press [Close] to create a quiet space for solitude.
If a group of friends want to sit and chat together, they can simply open the partition to create a small private room for themselves.
The outdoor area has been transformed into a garden-style terrace seating area.
The room was surrounded by lush green plants, with small round tables covered with white tablecloths and each table paired with four elegant and simple bamboo rattan chairs.
Instantly, the atmosphere and ambiance of the convenience store were elevated.
With this leisure space, you can enjoy the food you buy from the convenience store or other shops, and it's also convenient to rest here while waiting for the public carriage.
Bai Mengran went up to the second floor and toured the entire place before returning downstairs.
The convenience store's ground floor has also been fitted with a row of simple tables and chairs, including long white dining tables and high stools, making it convenient for customers to rest and grab a bite.
She walked into the convenience store and noticed that the oden section at the entrance was quite different.
Previously, dishes like oden sausages and steamed buns required manual serving, but the upgraded system is now fully automated.
All products are still displayed on the outside, but the original food serving area inside has been separated from the outside by raised frosted glass, and a new food serving outlet has been added.
Inside, there is a smart AI food dispensing machine that automatically simulates food preparation, picking up food one by one according to the order, and finally dispensing the packaged food from the outlet.
In this way, Xiao Yi can be responsible for the entire process of introducing, explaining, and guiding customers to order, without having to spend time and effort on the tedious food preparation and packaging.
The rest of the convenience store interior looks largely the same, with only minor changes and adjustments.
Bai Mengran realized that these changes were purposeful.
These are all further optimizations and integrations made to address the current shortcomings of convenience stores, indicating that the system is indeed being upgraded seriously and effectively.
She stepped outside and looked at the convenience store, still brightly lit under the dim light. The orange-yellow tones were warm and dreamy, and the warm white light seeped out, giving her an unreal feeling as if she were in a fairy tale dream.
Bai Mengran was all alone, and at this moment, she had no one to share her excitement and feelings with, so she could only admire it silently by herself.
So she decided to wait until daytime to explore the newly opened Chinese fast food restaurant, leaving herself in suspense for now.
After all, beautiful things are more delightful when discovered little by little, lest one lose out by being too full.
Besides, she had more important things to do. A new day meant another opportunity to enter the main system's online store, and she had to make good use of it.
Back at the villa, Bai Mengran first did some mental calculations. To unlock more waiters, the corresponding costs would increase to 3500, 4500, 5500…
Currently, the money in the account is only enough to hire two waiters, and we are still several hundred dollars short of hiring three.
Since that's the case, it's not worth using this opportunity now. It would be better to figure out how to earn the money first and then use this chance later.
But it was barely dawn, and [Fairyland] wasn't open yet. How could they make money?
Bai Mengran opened the [Employee] backend and found that both Xiao Yi and Xiao Er were online and ready to work.
Her eyes lit up – that's it!
Since there's still more than half an hour before construction on [Fairyland] starts, we can send the two of them to the morning market to sell instant noodles!
Time is money, so Bai Mengran immediately took action and posted the job information online.
"@Xiao Yi; @Xiao Er: You two, immediately set off in your food trucks to the market and sell instant noodles on the spot, just like yesterday."
There are currently fifteen flavors of instant noodles available, and the food cart area has also been increased. Xiao Yi, you can handle things flexibly depending on the situation.
Remember, you'll be back at work at 7:50 PM after closing up shop.
[Xiao Yi: Received, will take care of it immediately.]
Waiter: Boss Bai, I haven't learned how to make instant noodles yet...
[Xiao Yi: @Xiao Er, I'll teach you. Hurry up and get to the dining car.]
[Xiao Er: @Xiao Yi, okay.]
Bai Mengran: Great, it seems like I'm not needed anymore. Let's just sit back and wait to collect the money...
As soon as the food truck was mentioned, she opened the "Tools" app and took a look. She found that the food truck's area had expanded four times, and a dining area had been set up next to it, which could accommodate a dozen more diners eating noodles.
After yesterday's experiment, Bai Mengran has come to regard the instant noodle stall as a mobile money tree. As long as it is shaken up properly, it can bring in a considerable income every day.
After handing over the work, I was happy to have some free time.
Since I have nothing to do, I might as well have a proper breakfast at home.
What should I eat?
With more food options unlocked, there are more choices to make.
Bai Mengran opened the shop and browsed the menu, then entered the restaurant and unlocked the noodle menu.
When I clicked on it, wow, there were more than forty new flavors of mixed noodles.
The menu, filled with high-definition pictures of the dishes, immediately whetted her appetite with the rich and unique flavor of the noodles.
Double sauce noodles, scallion oil noodles, sesame sauce cold noodles, crayfish noodles, minced meat noodles with fried sauce, hot and sour cold noodles, clam and pork liver noodles, five-color cold noodles, braised green bean noodles, braised poached egg noodles, braised pork with bamboo shoots noodles, minced meat and tomato sauce noodles, tomato noodles, green pepper, egg and ham noodles, pork kidney noodles...
"……(o﹃o)"
Does anyone in the family know anything about this? Given this picture and this name, how should she choose?
There's simply no choice! She wants to eat everything!!!
