There was no time to look at the tasks or anything else. Yuanzhou stood up excitedly and walked around the room twice. Finally, he realized that this behavior was stupid, so he sat down again and kept turning on the phone and clicking on the switch, which made the phone feel a little overwhelmed. .
There are countless thoughts flashing in my heart, but they can be roughly summed up in one sentence, "The God of Cooking system? I am going to reach the peak of my life."
You must know that this small store was the result of decades of hard work by my parents. However, within two years of opening, there was a traffic accident during a purchase. I was a junior in college that year, and at that time, my parents suddenly became an orphan. I was so emotionally broken that I couldn't care about my studies at all, so I had to take a break from school, and barely got my diploma after a year.
In this bustling city, it was impossible to find a good job with such an education. In the end, he had to help cook in the kitchen of a big hotel. At first, he wanted to learn cooking skills and continue his father's dream, but it turned out that even cooking requires talent.
After two years of studying, it was still average. Someone happened to take a fancy to this dilapidated store. Disappointment was one of the reasons. He also wanted to get rid of the shadow of his parents' death. Yuan Zhou decided to quit his job and start a new life somewhere else.
Could this system be his turning point and hope? Thinking of this, Yuan Zhou clicked on the initial mission with indescribable emotions.
[Task] Own a store of your own
(Task tip: As a future chef, how can you not even have your own shop? Young man, go for it.)
"What kind of prompt is this? It's a prompt or something. Is the system funny?" Yuan Zhou opened the task with excitement, saw the words in brackets at a glance, and couldn't help but complain.
"Is this my own store? It seems like God's will." Looking at the task, Yuan Zhou felt a little emotional.
Maybe this is also the expectation of the parents and they don't want to leave by themselves.
All kinds of thoughts finally turned into determination. Yuanzhou picked up the mobile phone on the table, swiped the card interface, found Li Li in the address book, paused for a while, and then dialed.
After three rings, the call was answered:
"Hello, this is Li Li." A light and soft female voice came from the other side.
"Um... hello, I'm Yuan Zhou, the owner of the shop at No. 14 Taoxi Road."
Yuanzhou had only seen this female customer who came to rent a shop once. She had delicate features, long shawl hair meticulously pulled into a bun, and was dressed in decent business attire. To be honest, he didn't even know that this woman wanted to rent a shop without looking inside. I came down, and I didn’t negotiate the price, but I regretted it. Now it’s inevitable that I feel a little embarrassed.
But before Yuan Zhou could finish speaking, he heard someone on the other end of the phone say, "Oh, it's you, it's about signing the contract. Please wait a moment. I'm in a hurry. You tell my brother that he will be the one who owns the shop in the future."
Before Yuan Zhou could speak, a rough male voice with a arrogant tone came across, "I'll sign the contract at your shop at one o'clock tomorrow afternoon."
"I'm sorry, the reason I called today is that I can't rent my store to you." Yuan Zhou felt a little unhappy at being robbed like this, but he just thought of his own purpose and said it directly without turning around.
"What do you mean? Do you want to increase the rent?" The male voice opposite sounded a little dissatisfied, but he did not think that Yuan Zhou's statement of no rent was true.
After all, he knew about this shop. It had been subletting it for two years, but it had never been rented out. One reason was that this was not a food street in the first place, it was just a grocery street, selling everything, but not much. High-end, just general household stuff.
The location is also average. Although it is backed by several office buildings with white-collar customers, there is a food street below the office buildings. Today's office workers are lazy and unwilling to walk much, so the business in this street is not very good.
This is the situation. The people who want to rent are not stupid. The reason why they still rent without bargaining is not because of some inside information.
Although the offer to buy was rejected at the time, if you rent it first and buy it later, you can definitely make a lot of money. Yuanzhou's situation has been figured out clearly. He is an orphan and he definitely doesn't have any connections behind his back.
"No, it's my own problem. We didn't sign a contract anyway, and I confiscated the deposit. Forget about the lease." Yuan Zhou frowned when he heard the rent increase. Are he a person who loves money? But I still explained it a little bit.
"What do you mean? Why don't you agree to rent it? Do you think your shop is so popular that I will give you an extra one hundred per month?" The rough male voice on the other end of the phone said anxiously and dissatisfied. money.
“It’s really not about raising the rent, it’s just that I don’t want to rent because I want to do it myself.”
"Hey, you..."
Before the other person finished speaking, Yuan Zhou hung up the phone. He was joking that he made the call himself. If he kept talking nonsense like this for more than a minute, as he said before, Yuan Zhou was not a person who loved money. He is a person who loves money very much. Besides, if you don’t have a deposit or a contract for this kind of thing, it will be a failure if you just say it.
“Tuk tuk tuk”
Li Li returned to the house after seeing off the guests. Her high heels made a crisp sound on the wooden board. She couldn't help but smile when she saw her brother Li Li grinning at his mobile phone.
She said: "What's wrong with you? Why are you arguing with your mobile phone?"
"That shop said they would no longer rent it." Li Li immediately regained his composure, with a little bit of dissatisfaction written on his face.
"Oh? Why?" Li Li raised her beautiful eyebrows and asked in surprise.
"That guy said he wanted to open his own store, but we've already won four or five of them anyway." Li Li's handsome face was nonchalant.
"Okay, what are you going to do?" Seeing that her brother didn't care, Li Li stopped talking and asked other questions.
…
Here, Yuan Zhou looked serious, his mind empty, and he was poking around aimlessly with his cell phone.
“Should I clean up after myself, or should I clean up after myself?”
"By the way, if there is a task, there should be a reward. Where is the reward?" Yuan Zhou muttered to himself and searched for it on the panel in his mind.
[Reward] God-level egg fried rice skill
Is the divine egg fried rice not egg fried rice? It's like the overlord among beggars is still a beggar. What's the use
"System, is this reward worthy of my mission?" The moment he saw the reward, Yuan Zhou felt bad.
The system reads: The most delicious egg fried rice in the world.
"What's the best way to eat it?" Yuan Zhou asked seriously.
This time there was no explanation, only a single line of text: Please complete the task first.
"Okay, there is no explanation." Yuan Zhou muttered and continued to look at the panel. He was too excited just now to take a closer look.
"How come your culinary talent is unknown?"
Although Yuan Zhou knew that his talent might not be very high, he still didn't know what it was
"This system does not have the ability to detect talent, and human talent is not fixed." The same text description.
"Since you can't detect it, why mark it out." Yuan Zhou felt that he couldn't understand.
"This symmetry looks better." The system paused suspiciously before the text description appeared, but it felt even weirder.
In order to prevent his IQ from being affected by a system, Yuanzhou decided to ignore this problem and continue reading.
"Fifth dimension of cooking?"
The system's current words: "Specifically refers to: color, aroma, taste, shape, and meaning."
However, the dazzling word "rookie" also made Yuanzhou realize his level of cooking skills, and he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. Just thinking about the system he already had, he instantly gained confidence.
So, start completing the mission now.
