Chapter 8 Unforgettable Milk Tea Shop
Seeing that the two were frightened, Bai Mengran went in first. The two breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed her in.
Upon entering, the two were stunned once again. There were two square objects on the table, and an enticing aroma wafted from them as soon as they entered.
"Gululu..."
I don't know whose stomach it was, but it suddenly started growling.
"Yingying, look, this is oden, it's so delicious!"
"See that board in front of you? Just stand in front of it, tell it what you want to eat, or just point to it to place your order."
Bai Mengran had previously asked the system and learned that she could place an order via voice or manually.
After standing in front of the ordering screen and having their face scanned by the system, customers can select and place their orders according to the instructions. The system will automatically extract the required amount of currency from the customer, and the order will be successfully placed. Then, customers can wait for their food to be served.
Looking at all these foods she had never eaten before, Su Yingying didn't know where to start.
However, this time is different from the previous restaurants. Before, I didn't want to eat anything and didn't know what to eat. Now, I want to eat everything but don't know what to eat.
While struggling with her decision, she curiously tapped the screen with her little hand, and every time she successfully tapped one, she couldn't help but happily reveal her shallow dimples.
With nothing else to do, Bai Mengran took a break and called out the system to do something big.
"Tong'er, quick, I want to build a milk tea shop!"
[Host, please name the milk tea shop and select the delivery location.]
The system thoughtfully opened the map for her.
Bai Mengran moved the milk tea shop to an open space next to the convenience store and clicked confirm.
Then, I opened the milk tea shop and entered the shop name "Unforgettable Milk Tea Shop", and clicked to start building!
As the countdown began, Bai Mengran crossed her arms and eagerly awaited the appearance of the milk tea shop in ten minutes.
"Sister Bai, I did it! It really made my purse lighter! It's amazing!"
"...Sister Bai?"
Su Yingying had just completed her first self-service order and was incredibly excited, eager to share her joy with someone.
"Hmm? Yingying, did you place an order? Let me check..."
Coming to her senses, Bai Mengran clicked on the order on her order screen, and what she saw shocked her!
A long, densely packed list of orders, with almost every item ordered in multiple portions...
"Hey Yingying, did you accidentally click the wrong thing? Why did you click so many?"
"Sister, I really wanted to try everything, so I ordered them all?"
Su Yingying was a little embarrassed. She just couldn't resist clicking a few more times because the price was so cheap and it was so fun to order... that's all.
Seemingly afraid that Bai Mengran would misunderstand her appetite, she quickly explained, "Sister Bai, could you please divide it into several bowls for me? I'll take the leftovers back to my family to try."
"Okay, I'll get it for you."
Hearing her say that, Bai Mengran didn't say anything more and started packing the bowls according to the order.
She took two of the largest paper bowls and filled them with Arctic fin, tempura, fish balls, fish tofu, fish sticks, crab sticks, quail eggs, bamboo skewers, cuttlefish balls, white radish, konjac knots, bamboo shoots, shiitake mushroom skewers, fish roe pouches, rice cake pouches, fish roe buns, fish cakes, chicken balls, beef balls, and kelp knots.
This is practically the Manchu Han Imperial Feast of Oden, with a full fourteen meat dishes and six vegetable dishes!
Bai Mengran filled each bowl with plenty of soup and helped them carry it to the swing table by the door.
"Eat it while it's hot, I'll pack the rest for you after you finish eating."
Bai Mengran gestured for them to sit on the swing, and then she went back to get herself a small bowl to satisfy her craving.
Su Yingying looked at the tempting skewers in the bowl and unconsciously swallowed.
She couldn't wait to pick up a string of round meatballs, took a bite, and found them to be bouncy, tender, and incredibly delicious!
As Bai Mengran ate her oden over, she saw Su Yingying enjoying her meal, her big eyes sparkling.
"Sister Bai, this oden is so delicious!"
Seeing Zhu'er watching her eat with longing eyes, Su Yingying gave her the last meatball, saying, "Zhu'er, here, you should try some too!"
"Thank you, Miss!" Seeing how much her mistress was enjoying the food, Zhu'er had already secretly swallowed her saliva several times. She took the meatball and tasted a small bite, and was instantly won over.
Watching her eat so heartily, Bai Mengran secretly smiled to herself. This didn't seem like someone who had no appetite at all; she was clearly a little glutton.
The master and servant had unknowingly finished all twenty skewers of oden. Each of them had a bowl of broth and drank it all down, mouthful after mouthful.
"This soup is so delicious! It's so good!"
Su Yingying licked her lips with lingering satisfaction, only realizing she had finished both bowls when she saw they were empty.
"See? I wasn't lying to you!"
"Mmm, they're all delicious, but my favorite is the slightly bouncy meatball!"
"Ah! Miss, you? You can actually eat something?! (°?°)?!" Zhu'er exclaimed, a beat behind in her reaction.
"Yes, mainly because the food here, Sister Bai, is so delicious. I feel so much better after coming here!"
The little foodie, whose appetite has finally returned, is so happy she's practically wagging her tail.
"That's wonderful, Miss! Master will be so happy to hear that!"
These past few days, Master Su has been extremely worried about this matter. He has spent a lot of money to hire several chefs to cook at his residence, and he has also ordered his servants to run errands to several famous restaurants in the nearby town to buy back signature dishes of different flavors.
After all that effort, Su Yingying still didn't want to eat anything, which worried the doting father so much that he lost weight.
Seeing the two of them excitedly talking nonstop, Bai Mengran silently opened the milk tea shop that had already been built and pressed "Start".
Then she watched as a uniquely designed milk tea shop suddenly lit up behind Su Yingying and the other person.
The shop is decorated in milk tea color and cream white as the main colors. The storefront is decorated with cute milk tea cup patterns and the words "Unforgettable Milk Tea Shop" illuminated signs, which are very cute and eye-catching.
On the left is the milk tea counter, which uses a raised design and faces the customers with a full screen of milk tea menus, allowing them to choose and place their orders themselves.
[Host, this time I've secured the most advanced fully automated order placement, preparation, and serving mode for your milk tea shop!]
Customers can place their orders directly on the ordering screen. After selecting their preferred flavor, the system will precisely prepare and serve the milk tea according to the customer's choice.
[Did it save the host a lot of effort?]
The system couldn't resist popping out and taking the opportunity to boost the host's favorability.
Bai Mengran was overjoyed to hear this; not having to make milk tea herself would save her so much trouble.
However, she still had some other concerns after hearing this.
"Although, well, none of the people here know how to order! And many of them were illiterate in ancient times..."
The system paused for a few seconds, then said, "[Okay, I hadn't thought of that. In that case, the host can only try to teach customers how to order in the early stages. Practice makes perfect!]"
[If all else fails, the host can hire professional waiters through the [Talent System], that should definitely solve the problem!]
"Huh? The system can hire people? That's amazing! I was just thinking of going to the brokerage to buy people because I didn't have enough manpower."
She had actually thought about this issue. But putting aside whether the ancients who bought it would accept these new things in the short term, she always felt uneasy about letting people who didn't know its origin use it.
