Sheng Jiu was about to put up the "Sold Out" sign when she saw Boss Li from next door arrive. She smiled apologetically, "Sorry, we just sold out."
Li Cheng Xiang: ?
Waaah!
The sky is falling!
He had been busy for a long time and came over as soon as he had a spare moment, but it was still gone!
Li Cheng Xiang looked longingly at the tables inside the restaurant.
The two elderly men finished their meal, lingered for a moment, and then left.
Aunt Guo and her granddaughter ate slowly, still sitting there. At this point, the Yu Xiang Shredded Pork Rice on their table had the most left, and the aroma was the strongest.
Li Cheng Xiang looked at the brightly colored and fragrant Yu Xiang Shredded Pork Rice, and secretly swallowed.
It smelled so good!
But he didn't get a bite.
Li Cheng Xiang knew perfectly well that Sheng Jiu's ingredients were supplied by the company, once they were gone, they were gone.
Ingredients bought from outside simply wouldn't taste the same as those from the company, so Sheng Jiu wouldn't be making any more.
Li Cheng Xiang wondered, if he couldn't eat it today, would he not be able to eat it tomorrow either?
Thinking of all this, he turned to look at Sheng Jiu again: "Little Boss, can I reserve for tomorrow?"
Lin Qi and Sun Xiao Xiao had already reached the door when they heard this and instinctively slowed their pace.
Sheng Jiu shook her head: "Sorry, Boss Li, please come earlier tomorrow. If it's really not possible, you can just let me know on WeChat."
Lin Qi's eyes lit up when she heard that she could say it on WeChat.
She leaned closer and whispered, "Little Boss, can we add each other on WeChat?"
Sheng Jiu readily showed her her WeChat ID, and Sun Xiao Xiao and Wen Nuan followed suit.
After adding each other on WeChat, they left.
Li Cheng Xiang didn't want to make things difficult for Sheng Jiu, he couldn't leave his side alone anyway. After a few polite words, he went back.
Aunt Guo secretly observed and noticed that everyone wanted more after eating. She thought to herself, "Could there be something bad in this?"
However, the restaurant worker said that the food safety inspectors had come today and the food passed inspection.
So she should be able to rest assured?
Aunt Guo was hesitant, but soon the sweet and sour aroma of the Yu Xiang Shredded Pork Rice tempted her.
Although this dish loses a lot of its essence without chili, but the sweet and sour flavor is actually quite good.
Besides, most children prefer this sweet and sour taste.
Little Fu ate without looking up, taking bites of rice and vegetables, her chubby cheeks bulging.
Aunt Guo, seeing her granddaughter eating so happily, stopped thinking about anything else.
After seeing off the last table of customers in the restaurant, Sheng Jiu pulled down the roller shutter.
She checked the accounts and items, while Ares cleaned.
Ares, who was still clumsy yesterday, was surprisingly fast today.
After Sheng Jiu finished the inventory check, the other party had already gone to the kitchen to wash and rinse things.
After Sheng Jiu finished taking inventory of all the items and noting down the bottled water and drinks she would need for tomorrow, Ares was already mopping the floor for the third time.
Sheng Jiu helped with the final clean up, and the two went upstairs.
Today, Sheng Jiu bought an outdoor shower rack, which had already been delivered. She, Ares, and his teammates tidied it up and finally got to use it.
Taking a shower today was much easier than yesterday.
Sheng Jiu dried her hair, she hadn't taken any Sleep Calming Agents today.
She hadn't taken any yesterday either, only Interstellar Dates tea, and slept very well last night.
She thought, "I should be able to sleep well tonight, right?"
Lying in bed, Sheng Jiu slowly listed the things to do for tomorrow in her mind. Before she could finish thinking about them, she fell into a sweet dream.
At this moment, Ares's squad is sneaking into the icy pool at night and fighting against the Exploding Lotus Seeds.
This substance is one of the main materials of Gene Nourishing Liquid, and it is an important one.
It can be said that the Gene Nourishing Liquid's effectiveness is all thanks to the Exploding Lotus Seeds.
However, the Exploding Lotus Seeds themselves are extremely difficult to obtain.
With its capabilities to operate across land, sea, and air, it's a force that most people can't handle.
If they had mechs to help them, then it wouldn't be a problem.
However, the reason the name "Explosive Lotus Seed" begins with "explosive" is because it will self-destruct if it can't win a battle.
Once it self-destructs, the lotus seed becomes unusable.
Therefore, directly bombarding it with mechs is definitely not feasible, it must be captured alive.
Ares's team has now entered a semi-cold weapon combat state.
Without energy stones, the mechs can't start.
The only thing they can use right now is their external multi-functional robotic arm, which can be charged by the sun.
At this moment, everyone was in a sorry state. Shang Ying wiped her face and asked loudly, "Does the Little Boss's family have a genetic disease?"
Ares pondered this for a moment: "Their explanation is probably different from ours, but the root cause is the same. We can't get the Gene Nourishing Liquid right now, so we have to kill this."
Xie Yi, sprayed with a face full of blue liquid, was completely distraught: "Waaah, I've been beaten up so badly, I'll have to get the Little Boss to cook ten servings of rice tomorrow to recover!"
Yuan You, who was closest to him, rolled his eyes upon hearing this: "Get the item first before you talk."
Xie Yi almost burst into tears: "No mechs, just hand to hand combat, it's so hard, so hard!"
Yuan You ignored him and went straight for a blast, tearing apart the Exploding Lotus Seeds...
Of course, it didn't work.
Not only that, but he was also sprayed with the juice of Exploding Lotus Seeds. Because of the large number and low temperature, Yuan You was frozen solid, standing there like an ice statue.
Yuan You: ...
Xie Yi: 6!
Sheng Jiu slept soundly until dawn, and when she woke up, she couldn't even remember what she had dreamed about.
She felt that she had slept very well last night.
She wore a monitoring watch on her wrist, which, in her opinion, was not always accurate, but most of the time it was.
Sheng Jiu glanced at her watch again. Good, she had indeed slept well.
It seemed that her current insomnia could be resolved simply by drinking Interstellar Dates tea.
She recalled her roommates complaining in the group chat about how their sleep had plummeted after working like slaves.
They were exhausted, and the clearer their minds were, the more physically exhausted they were when they lay in bed. As a result, their minds were so clear that they just couldn't fall asleep.
Then it became a vicious cycle, the next day they felt even more groggy, and at night they were in a semi-conscious state.
After getting up and washing up, Sheng Jiu planned to first send the Interstellar Dates tea, shrimp paste, and squid meat to her roommates and friends.
After returning, she went to the market to see if there were any high quality vegetables.
Sheng Jiu didn't cook millet porridge this morning. Instead, she sliced the mantou she brought back from the village yesterday, coated them with egg, and pan-fried them over low heat.
Fry until both sides are slightly golden brown, crispy and fragrant. The aroma of wheat and eggs danced hand in hand in front of her nose, and Sheng Jiu picked out the mantou slices.
Breakfast was simple: crispy slices of mantou, along with the beef sauce she brought back.
It's no exaggeration to say that Sheng Jiu could devour a mantou the size of her face by herself!
She had just finished washing up and sat down when the gate upstairs rang.
Sheng Jiu, still downstairs: ...
As she stood up, she couldn't help but complain to the system: "Our design is a bit too user unfriendly. Isn't there a way to open the door remotely? Smart locks can be opened with a mobile phone, so there's no reason why you, high tech system can't do that?"
