Chapter 207: Ordering takeout with Zhang Shi—just by talking, takeout will arrive?
In the backyard, besides Mengdi, there were a few other little kids playing shuttlecock.
Upon hearing his nonsensical laughter, the little rascals stopped what they were doing and curiously ran to Mengdi's side.
"Brother Di, what's making you so happy?"
Meng Di's distant cousin, Meng Xiaoxiao, blinked her big, watery eyes, leaned on the stone table where Meng Di was eating melon seeds, and asked in confusion.
"Uh... Little sister Xiaoxiao, do you believe that your brother Di can perform magic?"
Mengdi usually plays with his younger siblings, but he wasn't in the mood to play today because he was in a bad mood.
The moment he learned that he could order takeout, a smile returned to Mengdi's face.
So when he saw the adorable Meng Xiaoxiao in front of him, he felt like joking with her and also "showing off" to his little sister.
"Really? Brother Di, you can't lie! Mommy said that if you lie, the Big Bad Wolf will catch you!"
Four-and-a-half-year-old Meng Xiaoxiao earnestly recounted to her brother Meng Di the warning she had heard from adults, clearly skeptical of his words.
In her young mind, only immortals could use magical powers, and her brother Mengdi was not an immortal.
So she secretly thought that Brother Mengdi must be trying to deceive her because she was young.
Hmph! She's just young, not stupid. She won't fall for that easily! o(￣ヘ￣o＃)
"Hey, Xiaoxiao's all grown up now, you don't even believe your brother Di anymore? Well, brother Di will show you something amazing today~ Xiaoxiao, you'd better open your eyes wide and watch carefully!"
Meng Di was full of confidence, with a bracelet on his wrist as his "magic weapon," and he spoke with great confidence when he made boastful claims.
He spoke eloquently and, after a moment of affected posturing, finally got to the point: "Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing, I want to order takeout!"
"Here comes Xiaojing, esteemed member of [Fairyland]. Our delivery service is exclusively open to you."
Please note that a minimum order of 30 coins is required to enjoy free delivery; otherwise, an additional 5 coins will be charged for delivery.
You can directly tell Xiaojing the names and quantities of the food you want to order, or you can have Xiaojing read the menu to you and then make your selection..."
As a professional intelligent voice assistant, Xiaojing will provide a detailed explanation of the ordering process and patiently offer one-on-one guidance when each wristband user uses the "takeout" function for the first time.
"Excuse me, Xiaojing, are all the food items sold in [Fairyland] available for delivery?" Mengdi cautiously confirmed before ordering.
"Yes, sir. Which restaurant and which dishes would you like to order? Just tell me the names, and Xiao Jing will write them down for you~"
"Okay, shall I start ordering? Please order ten milk teas, ten fruit teas, and five pure teas, with as many different flavors as possible."
"And some more barbecue, uh, what kind of barbecue is there again?"
Considering the large number of relatives present, Mengdi decided to order more food. He was most looking forward to barbecue, which he had been anticipating for a long time, but he had never tried it before and therefore did not know what to order.
"【Unforgettable BBQ Camp】offers twenty different dishes, including grilled lamb skewers, grilled beef skewers, grilled pork belly, grilled squid, grilled beef tendon, grilled chicken gizzards, grilled chicken feet, grilled chicken wings, grilled shrimp, grilled oysters, grilled fish, grilled potato slices, grilled bell peppers, grilled chives, grilled enoki mushrooms, grilled gluten, grilled mushrooms, grilled eggplant, grilled starch sausage, and grilled sweet potato noodles."
"Would you prefer to order a la carte or a whole set (one of each type)?" Xiao Jing offered a convenient option.
"Then let's order by portion, give me three whole portions!"
Meng Di silently calculated in his mind that he could eat a whole portion himself, and he could definitely share the other two portions as well.
"Okay, sir, would you like to order anything else?"
Meng Di suddenly recalled the scene of the fruit he brought home yesterday receiving unanimous praise from his family. His eyes lit up, and he quickly asked Xiao Jing, "Can the fruit from the Immortal Fruit Shop also be delivered?"
After receiving an affirmative answer, Mengdi was overjoyed.
After all, these things are quite heavy. Yesterday, he only bought one of each kind, and carrying them back home exhausted him. He couldn't carry more even if he wanted to.
Now that's great! With this convenient "delivery" service, wouldn't we be able to buy as much fruit as we want?
Today happens to be Grandma's birthday banquet. Once the fruit arrives, he can take it to Grandma and relatives to try. He believes they will love it at first bite!
Thinking of this, he started ordering again, "Xiao Jing, I also want to order twenty peaches, two bunches of grapes, and two watermelons!"
Feeling that they had ordered enough, Meng Di hurriedly added as soon as he finished speaking, "Okay, that's all."
After ordering, Mengdi felt somewhat lost and could only wait for Xiaojing's further arrangements.
"Okay, Xiaojing will confirm your takeout order:"
You ordered ten random milk teas, ten random fruit teas, five random freshly brewed teas, three full portions of barbecue (sixty skewers in total), twenty peaches, two bunches of grapes, and two watermelons, for a total of 1525 coins.
Please note that after confirming your order, the balance in your wristband will be deducted to generate a food delivery order. Orders are non-refundable and non-exchangeable after they are placed.
"Has the customer confirmed the order?"
Xiao Jing was very meticulous. She verified the order to be correct and informed the customer in advance of the precautions for placing a takeout order so that the customer could make a careful decision.
Meng Di asked in surprise, "Xiao Jing, your memory is amazing! You remembered everything I just said? Not a single word was wrong..."
Realizing he had strayed from the topic, Meng Di quickly regained his composure and answered Xiao Jing's question seriously: "Xiao Jing, I confirm the order!"
Xiao Jing focused on her work and ignored those irrelevant topics.
"Okay, the takeout order is complete, and 1525 coins have been deducted."
Your bracelet account has a balance of 3575 coins.
If your balance is insufficient, please visit the [Fairyland Bracelet Recharge Machine] inside the [Fairyland] to recharge.
Mengdi realized that the money in the bracelet was being spent very quickly; this time, ordering takeout had used up nearly a third of it.
He secretly thought to himself that he should prepare more silver coins to top up next time he went to the [Fairyland], so that he wouldn't find himself short of money when he wanted to order takeout at a crucial moment...
He asked Xiao Jing with great curiosity, "Xiao Jing, I'd like to know, how long does it usually take for my takeout to arrive? Can the takeout really come to my door by itself?"
He had long been curious about this, but every time he brought it up with Xiao Jing before, Xiao Jing would always avoid the topic, saying it was a surprise that he needed to experience and discover for himself...
As expected, Xiao Jing still didn't reveal the details directly this time. Instead, she said, "If you want to check the delivery progress of your takeout, just say 'Check takeout progress' or 'Xiao Ge appears' to Xiao Jing, and it will project the real-time location of the delivery and the estimated arrival time for you."
Upon hearing this, Meng Di immediately followed the instructions: "Xiao Jing, check the delivery progress..."
"Okay, your order has been packed and is currently on its way to delivery... The delivery service is 'Little Pigeon No. 3'."
The delivery progress and remaining time are displayed via the wristband's projection function. Simply point the wristband at any flat surface to view the projection effect. Please wait patiently.
Upon hearing this, Meng Di found it incredibly novel and interesting that it could track the delivery status in real time, and couldn't wait to check it out...
