Chapter 149 The bakery is open for business as usual, and the owner takes on the role of a hands-off
When asked by the first guests to arrive, Shiyi took a step forward, holding a plate of bread prepared for tasting, and said with a smile:
"Please be patient and allow me to explain in detail."
This bakery mainly sells bread made from wheat, milk, and high-quality butter.
This unique food is made through a series of meticulous processes and then baked at high temperatures.
It is nutritious and filling, and can be classified as a staple food.
It tastes best when eaten hot right out of the oven. If you pack it to take away, it will stay fresh for three to five days and is easy to carry.
When you're unable to eat a proper meal, enjoying a loaf of bread like this is undoubtedly an ideal choice that combines deliciousness and satiety.
Eleven's explanation gave everyone a general understanding of this novel food.
Hearing that this bread could be carried for three to five days, Hu Tai's eyes lit up.
He frequently traveled to and from Zhou County to transport goods, carrying only hard and difficult-to-chew dry rations.
It mostly consisted of dried foods like glutinous rice cakes, dried biscuits, steamed buns, and cured meat, which often had to be eaten with water to swallow...
For them, the food on the escort route was merely to fill their stomachs; they dared not even think about the taste.
When Hu Tai heard that the bread could be stored for several days, he thought it would be good to buy some to take with him on the road and change things up occasionally.
"You can try the food here first. If you are satisfied, you can then go into the store to make your selection."
Currently, our store offers ten flavors of bread. After entering the store, you only need to pick up an order tray and then you can choose your bread yourself.
After selecting your items, place the order tray on the checkout screen for automatic payment. Then, simply scan your face to complete the payment.
After briefly explaining the practical process, Eleven asked those who wanted to try the food to line up and take turns trying it.
Hu Tai soon got to the front of the line. He followed the example of the people in front of him, took a bamboo fork, and began to taste the food from beginning to end...
The unspoken thought in my mind was: This is delicious, this is delicious, this is delicious no matter what, they are all so delicious in different ways...
After tasting all the samples, Hu Tai was stunned...
This food called bread was much tastier than he had imagined! The different flavors were all different, and after trying them, he found them all delicious!
He was about to go inside to buy more food with the people who had finished their tastings when he suddenly stopped.
Damn it, I almost forgot, he has no money on him!
I need to ask my wife for money to buy bread...
So he became the only person in the entire tasting team to go against the flow. The people behind him, seeing his resolute determination to leave, assumed that the bread didn't taste very good.
Seeing the long queue, I was thinking of giving up, but then I thought, since I'm already here, I might as well try the food before leaving.
The tasting allowed participants to sample a small piece of each flavor, so almost everyone who participated tried every single one.
However, the effect was immediate; everyone who tried the bread couldn't resist going in and buying a few pieces.
Buy a large loaf of toast and have the whole family have it for breakfast tomorrow; that would be wonderful.
Some people buy one of each flavor, but since there are many people in the household and they are worried about not knowing what their family members like, they end up buying them all.
As for Su Yingying and her three companions, who were among the first to have their food sampled through a back door, they had already each bought a large bag of food.
Each loaf of bread comes with a custom-made bread box to maintain its optimal texture.
"Sister Bai, we've bought all the bread!"
Ordering here is so much fun! You just press a button and a claw grabs the bread; I couldn't resist grabbing several more!
The bread-grabbing technique He Yuejiao mentioned refers to customers picking up a bread tray and choosing from ten display cases filled with bread. They simply press the "Take" button in front of the corresponding display case to select the bread they want.
A robotic claw will then take the bread and randomly pick one of the breads, placing it on the customer's bread plate.
Finally, take the whole plate of bread to the checkout screen, place the plate on it, and the total price will be calculated automatically.
After completing the facial recognition payment, the entire tray will be automatically packed into a packaging machine.
When it came out again, it was a whole bag of pre-packaged bread, divided into cardboard boxes.
The part they liked the most was the "grabbing bread" part, which was quite similar to playing a claw machine.
Bai Mengran, because she could order food anytime and anywhere through the back-end system, was unable to experience this process.
Bai Mengran watched them order, and after they finished, she handed the place over to Eleven to manage.
She only needs to take care of the opening, and she is very confident in leaving the rest of the work to an AI waiter who can do the work of two!
As she opened more and more shops, Bai Mengran increasingly felt that her energy was limited and that she needed to learn to be a hands-off manager from time to time.
She plans to personally oversee the major aspects from now on, while delegating the rest to her subordinates.
Su Yingying and the others had to return to the academy for school on time...
Kong Nishang also planned to go back to the manor and obediently write her essay. Alas, her father had said that he would check her homework after returning home today...
He Yuejiao wanted to stay and play a little longer, so Bai Mengran said goodbye to them and returned to the villa.
She plans to work from home from now on and doesn't want to go out anymore.
It feels like days have passed since this morning...
In particular, she accidentally participated in a food competition, where just taking orders and lifting lids exhausted her.
Fortunately, she took the "Rejuvenation Pill" given to her by the system, so at least she no longer felt tired.
After reviewing the work to be completed in the afternoon, Bai Mengran decided to take a short rest.
"Tongzi, I'm taking a half-hour nap. Wake me up when it's time."
Before going to sleep, she sets an alarm for herself.
[Host, you should rest well; nothing else matters.]
The system watched its host working tirelessly and felt a pang of sympathy.
Hoping to give its hardworking host a break, it hasn't assigned any new tasks to the host for the time being.
"Alright then, let's talk about it after I wake up..."
Bai Mengran had already fallen asleep before she could finish speaking. One good thing about her is that she's always carefree and sleeps soundly.
When Bai Mengran woke up, she was a little confused. She was covered with a thin blanket that seemed to be missing before, and she was actually lying upright in the middle of the sofa bed.
I stretched after getting up, and after a nap, I felt refreshed.
She glanced at the time; it was already past two o'clock. She had slept for almost an hour.
As usual, Bai Mengran walked to the coffee machine and started making her own coffee again.
We need to make a few more cups of rations. We've already finished all the coffee we had in our bags, and we can't run out of these life-sustaining rations.
I decided to make five cups in one go. I kept one cup of Bai's Special Hand-Drip Coffee to drink now, and put the other four cups in my bag.
Lately, I've been just throwing things into my mental baggage, and it's almost full.
Bai Mengran simply sat down, drank coffee, and began packing her mental bag...
