Chapter 89 It's not scary to have the same dish, it's embarrassing if someone's dish
"I'll just eat the food Sister Bai brought. Oh! And milk tea? Mother, you should try some too. I guarantee you'll love it. I just had two cups!"
He Yuejiao was thrilled when she noticed that there was milk tea and fruit tea on the table. Since Sister Bai had brought them, she wouldn't be polite.
First, I got my mother a cup of brown sugar pearl milk tea, then I got myself a cup of fruit tea, and finally, after thinking for a moment, I handed my father a cup of pearl milk tea.
Don't let her dad's usual pretentious attitude fool you; he actually loves sweets. As his daughter, she knows this perfectly well, so let him experience the charm of bubble tea!
"Alright, alright, thank you so much, Miss Bai, for bringing so much food. I'll try this milk tea that Jiao Jiao keeps praising and see what it tastes like..."
Mrs. He smiled and picked up her milk tea, took a small sip, then another, chewed on the soft, sweet tapioca pearls, and then couldn't resist taking a big gulp...
Out of politeness, Master He accepted the milk tea and took a sip. After savoring it, he never imagined that milk and tea could blend together to create such a wonderful flavor. It was sweet, fragrant, and silky smooth. It was delicious!
Both of them were captivated. This time, without Jiaojiao's persuasion, they couldn't wait to put food into the food box, and wanted to try other flavors to see if they were just as amazing.
Just then, a maid brought over a plate of braised pork. Bai Mengran thought to herself, "Oh ho!" She had just had the same dish twice!
She was curious about the dishes prepared by this wealthy chef, so she carefully tasted each one.
Actually, the taste was pretty good. Maybe the seasonings weren't as plentiful in ancient times, so the dishes were a bit monotonous in flavor.
However, this tasted much better than the dishes she ate at Hongfu Restaurant a few days ago, which cost 800 coins.
Although it certainly can't compare to the quality of the dishes produced by the [Master Chef System], that's the difference between a "Master" and a "Super God"!
The braised pork, which used to be a favorite of the three members of the He family, was served today but no one touched it.
He Yuejiao quickly picked up the braised pork from the lunchbox and began to chew it with relish.
"Sister Bai, your braised pork smells so good! It's fatty but not greasy, and the more you chew, the more flavorful it becomes!"
Not to be outdone, Mrs. He also tried a piece and nodded frequently as she ate it.
Seeing that Jiaojiao was about to finish the meat, Master He quickly abandoned his reserve, grabbed a piece of meat and put it in his bowl, finally getting to taste the delicious food.
For some reason, the braised pork that I ordered didn't get cold or hard at all. It tasted just like freshly cooked pork. It was truly amazing.
He had to admit that the dishes served at his He family's residence were indeed inferior to those brought by this young lady.
The result was that as the round table kept spinning, the He family's chopsticks always landed precisely in the lunchboxes, emptying all three lunchboxes completely...
The dishes that the chef had painstakingly prepared were only enjoyed by Bai Mengran. Seeing that the three of them were eating happily, she felt too embarrassed to share the food in the takeout containers. She should have packed more food with her.
Sure enough, it's not scary to have the same dish as someone else; it's embarrassing if you're the one who's bad
That evening, the head chef of the manor, seeing so much food left over, fell into deep thought...
After the meal, Bai Mengran finally found an opportunity to express her desire to buy the shop and the surrounding vacant land to Master He. With Jiao Jiao's encouragement, the matter was settled effortlessly.
Master He has always valued integrity in his business dealings and has never been envious of his competitors' business or made things difficult for them.
His original intention in buying these shops on Huanxi Street was to ensure that even after Jiaojiao got married, she would have more financial security.
He could tell that although Miss Bai was young, she had her own unique insights into business.
Being able to befriend her can be seen as paving the way for Jiaojiao's future.
Master He summoned his steward, who examined the house and land deeds and promised to sell the shop, along with the adjacent vacant land, to Bai Mengran at a minimum price of 30 taels of silver.
Upon learning that she had already paid three months' rent, she asked the housekeeper to calculate the remaining rent and deduct part of it from the total price.
Master He entrusted the matter to his steward, He Kun, and instructed Bai Mengran to find a time tomorrow to go to the yamen to sign the deed and complete the transfer of ownership.
Seeing that the business was settled, Bai Mengran got up to take her leave. She felt relieved that the task was completed.
Back at the villa, night had already fallen. After a busy day, the days seemed to stretch on endlessly.
[Host, you've worked hard! The spiritual spring bathwater has been prepared for you. Enjoy a relaxing bath to relieve your fatigue~]
The system's voice sounded, seeing that the host was busy with the mission, and that the mission, which had only been received for half a day, was almost completed.
Touched by their kindness, all they could do was provide the best possible butler and logistical support.
"This service is great, Tongbao. I'll go get some aromatherapy and take a relaxing bath."
[Host, I've blocked the view. You can contact me if you need someone to chat with~]
Bai Mengran lay half-reclined on the edge of the bathtub, smelling the rich, natural rose fragrance in the air and feeling the warm, comfortable water temperature. Her fatigue seemed to gradually dissipate.
"Let's review the work together. Tell me what needs to be designed tonight, and once it's set up, let's open all the new stores."
Bai Mengran is not one to procrastinate; she prefers to finish her work first before relaxing and resting.
[Okay, host. First, here's the reward you received at noon: please name the braised food shop.]
"The same as always, it will be called 'Unforgettable Braised Food Shop'."
[Okay, the "Unforgettable Braised Food Shop" is under construction and is expected to be completed in ten minutes.]
[Please name your Level 1 Daily Necessities Store, then select five items to unlock. These selected items can be supplied in unlimited quantities.]
How about naming it "Unforgettable Daily Necessities Shop"?
[The system thinks it sounds quite nice. Now, host, please select a product.]
On the screen, the first-level shops [unlockable] mainly offer basic daily necessities. Bai Mengran scrolled up and down to select [fragrant shampoo], [fragrant shower gel], [toothbrush + toothpaste], [cotton towel], and [cotton sanitary napkin].
"Okay, these are the ones I've chosen! By the way, could you please arrange separate cubicles during construction? That would make it more convenient to sell women's products."
[Host, rest assured, the [Decoration System] will consider your selections when designing. By the way, host, how should we price these daily necessities?]
"Tong, please open the product cost statement so I can take a look."
[Okay, the cost price list for the five selected daily necessities has been displayed for you. Please take a look.]
Bai Mengran was surprised when she first saw the cost of the daily necessities.
How come this thing costs so little?
Unsure...maybe I'll have to think about it some more?
"Really? Are the daily necessities produced by the system really that cheap? Then why were I betrayed when I bought them at such high prices before...?"
