Chapter 164 A chance encounter with Yi Yi, exploring the dumpling and wonton restaurant on the secon
Bai Mengran watched the commotion at the fruit stall for a while, then left.
A fruit shop business is not something to rush into; it requires building a reputation slowly and taking time to grow.
Currently, the majority of customers of [Fairyland] come from the surrounding towns. After all, wealthy people are only a minority, which means that boutique shops cannot yet open up the market.
If she can open a new teleportation point after her territory reaches level 10, she will have the opportunity to directly access the most prosperous and bustling capital city as a second teleportation point. I believe that the Immortal Fruit Shop will definitely be able to grow bigger and stronger at that time.
Therefore, the most urgent task is to expand the customer base and find ways to attract new customers from other towns and prefectures.
Realizing this, she left the fruit shop, planning to hold the barbecue camp later.
Anyway, we only operate during lunch and dinner hours, and opening so early now means it's not even mealtime yet.
So she only glanced at the barbecue camp and didn't go in, but instead headed towards the eatery.
Bai Mengran wanted to see what specific changes had occurred after the restaurant's upgrade.
At this point, more than ten minutes had passed since the opening time of [Fairyland] at 8 o'clock, and there were still quite a few customers waiting outside the door.
The busiest places in the morning are the eateries. Convenience store snacks are perfect for satisfying a craving, and the bread from the bakery was bought yesterday and will mostly be eaten at home.
"Hey, look! This restaurant has been up a floor overnight!"
"What's so special about this in [Fairyland]? Didn't you see that a few more shops have opened today?"
"Let's go up and see, they must have come up with some new food..."
"But I originally wanted to have a bowl of hot noodle soup..."
"Hey, there's something new to eat, why bother with soup noodles? Come upstairs with me and let's try it!"
"Alright then, let's go..."
……
Bai Mengran watched as the two guests walked straight from the entrance to the restaurant, chatting as they went. Hearing what they said made her chuckle.
It seems that our regular customers have gotten used to the daily refresh of [Wonderland] and the overnight release of new items and shops, which is a really good sign!
She was just about to go upstairs to take a look when she suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure entering through the entrance.
Hey, it's an old friend again.
As she skipped closer, Bai Mengran waved and called out, "Hello, Yiyi, you're here early today!"
The person who arrived was none other than Kong Nishang, who had come to the Fairy Realm yet again.
As soon as she entered, she noticed the changes in the restaurant, so she kept her eyes on it and didn't notice Bai Mengran standing to the side.
Hearing someone call her by her nickname, Kong Nishang turned her head and saw that it was her most admired Sister Bai calling her. Her eyes lit up instantly.
She quickly changed direction and rushed towards Bai Mengran like a gust of wind.
"Ah! Sister Bai, what a coincidence! I just arrived and I've already seen you!"
Kong Nishang smiled broadly, her voice rising with excitement, showing just how happy she was.
"Yes, it means we're destined to meet, that's why we always seem to run into each other..."
Bai Mengran was also quite happy. Being with someone as warm and lively as Kong Nishang made her feel good too.
"Ah, Sister Bai, our outfits are quite similar today, what a coincidence!"
Kong Nishang looked down at herself, noticing that she was wearing a red top and a white skirt, while Sister Bai was also wearing a red and white outfit. This discovery thrilled her.
"Haha, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Let's go, the restaurant has new dumplings and wontons today, I recommend you try them."
Bai Mengran noticed that she was staring at her with bright eyes, like a fanatic fan seeing their idol, which made her feel a little uneasy.
When did this fan culture phenomenon become popular in ancient times...?
"Oh, great! I didn't expect Sister Bai to have new dumplings. I love dumplings, but we only get to eat them at home during holidays..."
When it comes to food, Kong Nishang immediately puts aside her personality cult and turns to a cult of food.
Bai Mengran had just eaten wontons and hadn't tried dumplings yet, so she didn't have much to say. She and Kong Nishang prepared to go in and take a look.
"Wait a minute, Sister Bai, there seems to be an elevator next to this restaurant, just like the one at the milk tea shop!"
Kong Nishang was the first to spot the milk tea shop's elevator, so she naturally paid extra attention to this side location.
The elevator is quite hidden; it's not conspicuous when you stand in front of it, you can only see a large, protruding bowl-shaped structure...
She immediately made a logical connection, thinking that it might be that thing called an elevator, which was both fun and saved her from climbing stairs.
"Yiyi has a good eye. Let's go take the elevator and see."
Bai Mengran's curiosity was also piqued, and the two went to the side to take a look. Hey, it really was true!
From the outside, the left side of the restaurant looks like a huge bowl, filled with a combination of dumplings and wontons.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the model was hollow inside and contained an elevator door. Once inside, one was essentially standing on the bottom of a bowl and inside the bowl itself.
After the two entered, the elevator automatically closed its doors and announced "Elevator going up," then ascended directly to the second floor.
Both of them had experience riding elevators in bubble tea shops before, so this time they weren't surprised at all; they just found it intriguing and unusual.
Most people didn't notice this design and went up the stairs on the right.
This elevator is like a hidden Easter egg, waiting for someone with a keen eye to discover it.
The noodle shop on the first floor of the restaurant is constructed of antique redwood, in a traditional Chinese style.
The dumpling and wonton shop on the second floor is entirely white, with only the outer railing and lintel using the mahogany-toned decorations from the first floor as a reference.
This allows the two floors to be both independent and harmoniously unified.
Stepping into the "Dumpling and Wonton Restaurant," one finds it already filled with customers eager to try it out.
Many people originally came here to eat noodles, but after arriving and discovering the second floor, they naturally wanted to go up and explore the new dishes.
Several tables that were quick to eat had already started, with large bowls of dumplings and wontons steaming hot on the tables, and diners were happily slurping them down with their spoons.
"Oh, Sister Bai, all those dumplings and wontons in other people's bowls look so delicious, I don't know which one to eat..."
Looking at the bowls of people who were already enjoying their food, Kong Nishang found it difficult to choose, as each dish looked delicious.
Bai Mengran beckoned her to the order counter, flipped the menu to the "Dumpling and Wonton Combo" and gestured for Kong Nishang to order that.
When she first ordered, she lacked experience and had to flip through the menu page by page before she saw the various platters at the very end.
Not only can you mix and match different flavors of dumplings and wontons, you can even mix and match dumplings and wontons together!
"Wow, you even have this! Sister Bai is so thoughtful~"
So Kong Nishang started filling the custom platter with the flavors she wanted, following the prompts. She ordered a total of six dumplings and six wontons before finally stopping.
As the two found a seat, they could hear diners praising their food at every table they passed. Almost every bite they took was accompanied by a boast about the taste to their tablemates.
After Bai Mengran finished eating, she sat down to eat with Yiyi for a while, and listened to the feedback from the other diners around her.
All she heard were words of praise. Although it was all thanks to the God of Cooking System, Bai Mengran felt a sense of honor and her heart was filled with joy and warmth.
