Seeing that a few snacks caused an argument, Lu Yao quickly said, "Actually, I also bought... prepared a few boxes, one for everyone."
I went out to buy some snacks at noon, and went to the snack shop that Qi Chen introduced.
Worried that there might be NGs during the filming and one box would not be enough, and remembering Xiaoqie's eager expression, she deliberately bought a few more boxes.
The manicure business has been quite profitable lately, with two or three customers arriving almost every other day.
Ever since she started working part-time as a manicurist, she often went home early in the afternoon and the staff no longer had afternoon tea.
Although dim sum is expensive, it is not a burden to eat it occasionally.
Bai Ming and Xiao Qie quietly withdrew from the "battlefield", their claws and teeth were almost exposed just now.
Gao Yang also realized that he had lost his composure, lowered his head to organize his thoughts, and suggested: "Let these four guests come."
He turned around and explained to Li Shasha and the others that they were shooting a promotional advertisement for a snack bar and that they would need to show their faces to participate in the shoot. In the end, the advertisement would be placed on all subways in the district. Du Chen and Du An agreed without hesitation.
As a former guard of the park, Du Chen often entered the game and had shown up in live broadcasts.
Their state in the game is the closest to their true selves, which is equivalent to tearing off all disguises.
Later, in order to seek more excitement, Du Chen also entered the game without camouflage. He was not afraid of showing his face at all.
Duan couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the box of snacks in Lu Yao's hand.
Li Shasha and Chen Meiyue hesitated for a while, but couldn't resist the temptation of dim sum and nodded and agreed to take the photo.
The afternoon tea session focuses on leisurely enjoying time. The four guests still sit opposite each other, with coffee at hand and snacks in front of them.
Duane stared at the Mont Blanc on the table.
The light yellow, thread-like snack was sprinkled with fine powdered sugar and dotted with a ripe chestnut on the top. It was so cute that it melted his heart.
He had seen a snack bar clerk eating this for afternoon tea during a live broadcast, and he couldn't help drooling at the time. He never thought he would have the chance to eat it.
It was a great deal that I accompanied my brother to the snack bar to relax this time.
He restrainedly raised the small silver spoon and scooped out a piece of chestnut paste on the surface, revealing the creamy filling inside.
After a pause, he carefully dug a little deeper and put it into his mouth together with the cream and chestnut puree. The taste was smooth and the sweet taste melted on the tip of his tongue almost instantly.
The rich and earthy aroma of chestnuts paired with the light and smooth taste of cream created a wonderful taste. Duan felt his body become lighter. He closed his eyes and tilted his head slightly, and his mood became as soft and comfortable as a cloud.
Li Shasha was amused by Duan's appearance and was so intoxicated.
As for desserts, it’s not like I haven’t eaten them before when I was alive.
She knew it must be delicious, but she had to restrain herself in front of the camera. After all, it was being broadcasted to the whole district, and she didn't want to leave any high-definition social demise footage.
Thinking so, Li Shasha scooped up a small spoonful of tiramisu. Before she put it into her mouth, the rich aroma of the mixture of coffee liquor and cocoa powder grabbed her nerves.
She couldn't help but lean forward and take a deep sniff.
Coffee and cocoa both have a bitter taste, but when mixed together they create a particularly alluring scent.
The cocoa powder on the surface melts in the mouth first, and the bitterness has not completely dissipated. The smooth and dense cheese and the semi-soft finger biscuits with the aroma of coffee wine alternate between the teeth, bringing a delicate sweetness and a crispy and sandy fragrance.
Li Shasha's eyes lit up, her legs hanging under the chair stretched unconsciously, her shoulders shrugged and then slowly relaxed, it was so delicious!
Chen Meiyue had the Matcha Thousand Layer Cake, which was made of soft Thousand Layer Cake skin spread with a thin layer of cream, stacked layer by layer, with a little candied red beans in the middle, and a layer of bright green tea powder sifted on the surface.
The tea flavor is rich and mellow, fragrant but not astringent, which just neutralizes the sweetness of cream and honey red beans. Paired with coffee, it is simply the best partner for afternoon tea.
Du Chen ate strawberry mousse. The pink dessert was squeezed with cream and a big bright red strawberry.
The strawberries were fresh and juicy, and the mousse was soft and delicate, like jelly and ice cream. With a sip, the sweetness with the rich aroma of strawberries filled his mouth. He leaned back slowly and sighed with contentment.
hapiness!
The four of them were so immersed in the joy of afternoon tea that they didn't notice how quiet it was around them.
Except for Lu Yao who had a normal expression, everyone else was swallowing unconsciously, and the desire in their eyes almost became tangible.
Fortunately, this segment was finally filmed.
After the event, Lu Yao spoke to Du Chen and the others individually, expressing his willingness to pay them for appearing in the advertisement.
They did not accept it and even thanked Lu Yao for giving them a perfect afternoon.
After leaving the snack bar and walking back, Du Chen suddenly said, "Let's move to Area A."
Duan nodded without thinking.
Li Shasha and Chen Meiyue are also discussing moving.
They originally lived in Area A, but it was a bit far from the 99th floor, so the two of them planned to move near the 99th floor.
After the guests left, Lu Yao took out new snacks and distributed them to the shop assistant, Gao Yang and the other two.
It only took a glass of Mont Blanc for Xiao Qi and Ren Min to change their attitude towards Lu Yao from arrogant and cold to friendly and enthusiastic.
Thinking back to their attitude when they came here, they both felt a little shy and awkward.
They should have thought that a snack bar that could impress the train conductor would definitely not be an ordinary shop.
After talking it out with Lu Yao, the two were finally able to eat snacks and drink coffee with relief. They also secretly rejoiced in their hearts and thanked their seniors for giving them the opportunity to go on field work.
Quan Shengju got a piece of tiramisu and sat alone by the window on the second floor, eating it in small bites for a long time.
He was busy working during his lifetime. His salary was not low, but he had a large family.
He has parents who have lost their ability to work and younger brothers and sisters who are not yet adults, and they all rely on his salary to support them. He used to be reluctant to eat this kind of snack.
I didn't expect that I would have the chance to taste it after coming to this world.
A bittersweet taste, just like his original life.
But originally it was more bitter than sweet, and he hoped that in the future it would be like this snack, with more sweetness than bitterness.
Afternoon tea time was over, Gao Yang prepared to go to the sanatorium in Area E with several special meal sets made by Lu Yao himself.
He wanted to take a group photo of the changes in the state of nursing home patients before and after eating the snack bar delicacies, which would be more convincing than any empty propaganda.
Lu Yao walked to the door to see him off, and mentioned, "We're going to have a staff dinner tonight to celebrate our chef's official employment. If you're willing, you can have dinner with us."
Gao Yang raised his eyebrows slightly and immediately said, "Of course I am willing. What are we going to eat tonight?"
A very familiar tone.
Lu Yao: "Boiling fish, and some barbecue."
Xiao Qi and Ren Min popped their heads out from behind Gao Yang, blinking their eyes and looking at Lu Yao obediently, "Shopkeeper, we want to eat too."
Lu Yao frowned awkwardly: "There is a huge difference between one more person and three more people."
Xiao Qi and Ren Min pleaded bitterly: "We don't eat much, really."
Lu Yao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay then. We'll start around 6:30."
Xiao Qi and Ren Min carried Gao Yang on the left and right and quickly went downstairs.
We have to hurry up, or we will miss dinner.

After the guests left, Qi Chen came down from upstairs and threw Lu Yao a piece of paper created with magic, with some information written on it.
"I want to take advantage of the momentum of this video ad to launch some new desserts. The ingredients are not expensive, can you think of a solution?" Qi Chen said a little nervously.
He knew that Lu Yao was in financial difficulty, and the money that Bai Ming and others had collected from the amusement park was still on the kitchen shelf, and Lu Yao had not touched it.
But this advertising opportunity is too good. Even though the population of this world is less than one-tenth of the world before death, it is still a very large size.
If his amusement park had had the opportunity to engage in such cooperation in the past, he would have laughed in his dreams.
Lu Yao may not be able to imagine how much energy this publicity will bring to the snack bar, but he understands.
Launching new products during the promotion period is a basic marketing operation, and he doesn't want to waste this excellent opportunity.
In addition, when taking pictures on the second floor just now, Qi Chen was very jealous of the happy expressions of the guests when they ate the exquisite snacks.
He also wanted to make snacks like that, not just plain butter cookies.
Lu Yao had also tried baking before, so after looking at the list of ingredients, he had a rough idea in his mind, "You can buy it, but it's limited."
Qi Chen was like a primary school student asking his parents for permission to buy a toy. He was a little bit unbelieving at first, but then he became excited: "Okay!"
-
The filming of the train conductor at the sanatorium was very successful. After Shui Ninghua heard his purpose, she was very happy to cooperate.
After obtaining the patient's consent to appear on camera, the entire filming process was smoother than eating Dove.
After the filming, the conductor and his team returned to the snack bar for dinner.
I went downstairs in the middle of the night holding my stomach, and immediately returned to the office to work overtime to edit the film.
Xiao Qi and Ren Min ate the staff meal at the snack bar in the evening and became more polite to Lu Yao, as he was simply their future breadwinner.
They also wanted to release this short film as soon as possible, so the three of them stayed in the office for three days and three nights and finally finished the film.
Xiao Qi sent one copy to a snack bar, and copied multiple samples to be distributed to all trains in various areas.
Three days later, the first video advertisement of Dreamland was released, appearing on all subway lines in the thirteen districts with great fanfare.

Mo Cheng and Yu Cai run a small company called "Mo Yu Da Da Office".
The main business direction is to get together on time every day to slack off and daydream, and occasionally take guests with early symptoms of amnesia to daydream together to release stress and alleviate their condition.
In order to simulate the real feeling of going to work, they rented an office in the center of District D. They took the subway to work at 8:30 every morning, spent the whole day in the company, and got off work on time at 5:00 in the afternoon.
At first, it really felt like going to work, leaving early and coming back late, feeling tired but fulfilled.
After a few months of operation, people started to resign.
The company had nearly a hundred people in its heyday, but now there are less than twenty people left.
The most terrifying thing is that Mo Cheng and Yu Cai also began to feel bored.
When a group of people get together, the topics they can talk about have been repeated countless times, and the games they can play have all been boring.
Even when I take the subway to and from the company every day, the scenery I see gradually becomes unified into the same pace.
When the train appeared, it caused a sensation. Countless people lined up day and night to experience it, even if they were squeezed into pieces of paper.
Everyone on the train has a smile on their face. Taking a train to another district is both novel and interesting, and they can brag about it to their friends for a long time when they come back.
Nowadays, most people who take the train are silent and bored.
In endless hours, everything would quickly become boring.
The train door opened, Yu Cai and Mo Cheng walked in as usual and sat down at a random seat.
This is the starting point of this bus and there are all empty seats on the bus.
Yu Cai sat down and wanted to daydream. Her eyes swept across the car wall and she noticed a bright color. She subconsciously looked up and her expression paused slightly.
There was new wallpaper on the walls of the car, pink flowering trees grew on the river bank, the river water was blue and tranquil, and it seemed like there was something of the air of spring.
Yu Cai felt a little better.
There are no seasons in this world. Spring, summer, autumn and winter are all the same.
At this time, the train started moving, and many people on the train folded their arms and prepared to sleep.
Suddenly, the small screens on both sides of the car lit up.
What are you doing
Live broadcast
There was confusion in the passengers' eyes.
The screens on the train had never been lit up, and they had always thought they were just for show.
After a brief blue flash, a picture appeared on the screen.
Yu Cai was just curious at first and subconsciously stared at the screen, wondering if the park and the train conductor had cooperated to start live broadcasts even on the train.
If that's the case, she may never take the train again.
Yu Cai doesn't like the extreme entertainment in the amusement park.
After watching for about a minute with a critical attitude, Yu Cai gradually sat up straight, staring at the small screen without moving his eyes away for a moment. It turned out to be a food program.
The people around her had similar reactions to Yu Cai. Some were even more excited than her, unconsciously slurping their saliva and stamping their feet in annoyance. Some kept asking their companions, "Are they eating? Where is this? Is this a game or reality? Can we go too?"
His companion pushed him away and said, "How would I know? Don't block me."
On the screen, the two young people shared all the food on the table. The girl with glasses suddenly leaned on the window and said excitedly: "What's wrong with this window? Are those flowers real? They look like they are about to bloom."
The next second, everyone on the train saw what the girl saw.
It was a river flowing quietly, with flower trees on both sides of the river, the pink color was overwhelming.
The camera slowly moved back from a distance and landed on a row of plump and small succulents on the window sill. The boy praised with surprise: "This is so cute."
Yu Cai's heart moved, and there was a stir in the car. The scene she saw through the window was exactly the same as the new wallpaper on the train, but the scenery in the video was much more beautiful than the wallpaper.
Countless people are curious: Where is this place? Is it a game, or a real place
At this moment, the scene changed and a new scene appeared.
It was still the familiar window, with two men and two women sitting together. Judging from their expressions, they didn't seem to be familiar with each other, as if they were strangers who were suddenly brought together.
At this time, a waiter appeared and brought four cups of coffee-like drinks and four exquisite desserts.
…
"Oh my god! Where on earth is this? Is this a game? Which theme park? I'm going there right now!"
"Oh shit! I want to eat this! This tiramisu looks so delicious!"
"That strawberry bursts with juice when you bite it, I can't stand it!!!"
The train stopped at the station, and more passengers came in, and were all attracted by the small screens on both sides.
After the four people finished their dessert, the scene changed again.
A man packed food from a mysterious shop and went to a nursing home to visit his friend who had amnesia.
The patient friend had lifeless eyes, and even through the screen one could feel the lifelessness in him, as if he would die at any moment.
The nurse handed the food box to the patient. The amnesia patient's eyes trembled slightly. He took it and took a bite. His eyes suddenly lit up, and then he ate one bite after another.
The food box gradually emptied, and the deathly aura from the patient gradually dissipated.
Finally, he held up the empty lunch box and asked many times: "Are there any more? Are there really no more?"
Someone in the carriage suddenly said, "I think I know where this is!"
No one paid attention to him, and countless pairs of eyes were staring at the small screen.
In the last scene, a small shop appeared in the distance, and a row of small golden words slowly emerged from the upper right corner - Congratulations! You found the small canteen at the end of the world.
