Lin Jiu: "This side of the old street in the west of the city, 'Magic Fish' is my store."
Jiang Ge: "Okay, we'll go there right away."
Lin Jiu: "Come back tomorrow. We'll open tomorrow. I want to clean up today."
Jiang Ge: "We'll go over and clean up with you, waiting for your seafood to save our lives."
Lin Jiu looked at the time. If he went back to clean up now, he should be able to open the store in the evening. Are there any stores that open in the evening
"Okay, then come over here, I'll go back and get ready."
Jiang Ge was extremely excited. As soon as he hung up the phone, he started to urge, "Hurry up, let's go to his restaurant. We should be able to eat other delicious food."
Si Xu took out the black star beads from the paper box and found a soft box to put them in. He was a little worried about leaving the box in the room, so he put the box in the safe and locked it carefully.
The series of actions made Jiang Ge dumbfounded, "No, is this true or false?"
"Really." Si Xu smiled and went to change his clothes and go out.
Jiang Ge's legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees, "This, this, this... if this is real, how much is it worth?!"
Wen Qin looked serious, "If it's real, then you absolutely can't accept it. I'll go to the courier company and ask if I can find the specific address."
Si Xu changed his clothes and came out, "No, don't worry about this matter, I will handle it."
Since his debut, Si Xu has never accepted gifts from fans, let alone such valuable items. Since he wanted to handle it himself, Wen Qin did not ask any further questions.
There is actually no need to clean the store, as the people from the decoration company have already helped clean it.
Lin Jiu wanted to clean up the second and third floors. The old couple used to live on the second floor, the third floor was rented out to others, and the first floor was a breakfast shop. Now the first floor has been completely renovated, while the second and third floors are still the same as before.
Lin Jiu clicked on the decoration drawings.
System prompt: The decoration drawings are opened and the decoration will be completed directly. Do you want to decorate the shop
"yes."
Please select a decoration location.
“The second and third floors.”
Are you sure you want to renovate the second and third floors
"Sure."
Renovation started...
The decoration is completed.
Lin Jiu: “???”
So fast? How come I didn't hear anything
Should we adjust the decoration of the first floor
Lin Jiu: "Does the first floor need adjustments?"
After the adjustment, it will be more beautiful, comfortable and healthy, with the landscaping made of running water, allowing the system to have full control without the host having to take care of it.
"Adjustment."
Health is the most important thing, everything else is secondary.
The live fish in the landscape need to be fed, water changed, oxygenated and disinfected regularly, which is rather troublesome. Now that the system is fully responsible, Lin Jiu is relieved.
The red painted wooden door on the first floor has been removed and replaced with a single wooden door of original color. The door is located close to the left side, leaving the entire wall on the right side free. The wall has been redesigned, with small squares pieced together to form a light-colored wall. A large window is left on the wall. The window is designed to be hollow and as thick as the wall. The landscape inside features bluestone, ancient trees, and swimming fish. It is not big, but very exquisite.
Between the door and the window, there is a rectangular doorplate with the words "Magic Fish Shop" written on it.
The rooms in the old street are straight and Lin Jiu put the cashier and kitchen on the right side. Five long wooden tables are placed against the wall on the left side. On both sides of the long tables are double wooden benches with light-colored cushions.
At the deepest part is an independent private room, which is carefully designed and is Lin Jiu's favorite place.
There are not many tables, and the space in the shop is very spacious, looking cozy and comfortable.
Adjustment successful.
Lin Jiu took a look. The overall design of the first floor remained unchanged, but a lot of details had been changed. For example, on the light-colored wall on the left, there were originally only two large artistic characters "San Tang". Now, under "San Tang", there appeared a strange-looking hand-painted big fish. The big fish was made up of color blocks with bright colors, which made the black "San Tang" more eye-catching and added a lot of color to the dull light color.
There are some cute ornaments in the small wooden grid on the left wall, making the overall style of the store more delicate and warm.
Simple and not cumbersome, it shows exquisiteness everywhere.
What surprised Lin Jiu was that the business license and food business license that he had not had time to get were already hung on the wall behind the cashier counter. Lin Jiu did not expect that the system adjustment could adjust these two things.
Lin Jiu doubted the authenticity of the business license, so he specifically entered the registration number to check its authenticity. The result showed that the business license hanging on the wall was the one he had applied for but had not yet received.
The power of the system once again opened Lin Jiu's eyes.
Lin Jiu planned to go to the second floor to take a look. When he reached the stairs, he found that two small white doors had appeared at the stairs at some point. They looked like angel wings and were very cute. Needless to say, this should be something created by the system.
He opened the small door, went upstairs and walked around, then came down in a daze. He seriously suspected that it was not a renovation, but a direct change of space. Otherwise, how could such a big thing appear? And it appeared so quietly!
Lin Jiu's first reaction was that no one should be allowed to go up there casually, as he was afraid of scaring people. The design of the building could not be explained by common sense.
The Kitchen God System reminds you that only customers who have spent 1 million or more and whose liking value for the store meets the standard are eligible to enter the second floor, and only customers who have spent 5 million or more and whose liking value for the store meets the standard are eligible to enter the third floor.
That's good. Such a high threshold is beyond the reach of most people. Moreover, the determination of the "favorite value" is entirely determined by the Chef God System.
Lin Jiu took a look around the kitchen. The kitchen was fully equipped with basic equipment. Complex and difficult-to-handle ingredients would be processed in the super-smart kitchen before being taken out. The small kitchen could be used to prepare simple meals.
The kitchen can be hidden or open, and there is a wooden bar on the outside where food can be placed and guests can sit. Lin Jiu does not plan to seat guests for the time being, so he does not prepare high chairs as he does not like the messy look of the store.
Lin Jiu had planned to write the menu tomorrow, but since Jiang Ge was coming tonight, he decided to write down today's dishes first.
He brought a small blackboard and wrote today's menu on it with chalk:
Seafood rice (small portion)/298 yuan
Seafood rice (medium portion)/1098 yuan
Seafood rice (large portion)/3998 yuan
The system determines these three prices through comprehensive calculation and comparison.
Lin Jiu placed the small blackboard on a stand and placed it in front of the cash register so that it could be seen as soon as one entered the door.
Since we want to make paella, we first need rice. Lin Jiu doesn’t have any staple food except seasonings and seafood.
It is recommended that the host choose Chalcedony Rice, which grows on the southernmost island of the Demon Sea plane. Only there can the best quality Chalcedony Rice be grown. The rice grains are crystal clear, soft and chewy in texture, with a strong rice aroma and rich nutrition.
1 point of magic value can buy 100 kilograms of chalcedony rice. Do you want to buy it
What appeared in Lin Jiu's mind was that one silver fish bone = 100 kilograms of chalcedony rice.
No need to think about it, you have to buy this, you can't be without staple food.
Lin Jiu took out a Xiuzhen smart rice steamer from the super smart kitchen, washed some chalcedony rice and put it into the pot, plugged in the power and started steaming rice.
The super smart kitchen can choose from a variety of energy sources. Lin Jiu most commonly uses electricity. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Many kitchen utensils have been powered by electricity, which is very convenient for Lin Jiu to use.
Si Xu and the other two went through the rush hour and found the old street of Xicheng District. It was almost dark.
Many old people and children were strolling on the old street. The buildings were old and the ground was bumpy. Jiang Ge drove the car bumpily, either bumping or stopping to avoid pedestrians.
There were a few kids playing on the road ahead and an old man chatting on the side of the road, so Jiang Ge had to honk his horn to remind them, but the old man rushed over and started beating them up.
"Why are you honking? It's hard to drive here. Why did you drive in? Look at the old people and children here. If you hit one of them, you'll be in trouble."
Jiang Ge: “…”
There is a big "操" in the word "江蘇" (fight) and I don't know whether I should say it or not.
This was their first time here and they had no idea about the situation.
Jiang Ge was annoyed. "Why did Lin Jiu open a store in a place like this? It's old and run-down, and the road is bumpy and narrow. Not to mention parking, even passing is a problem."
Wen Qin lowered the car window and said, "Uncle, do you know where there is a store called 'Magic Fish' here?"
"Fishing?" The old man waved his hands, "I've never heard of it."
Wenqin: “It’s a new store that was recently renovated.”
This old man knew that the old street was very small, so he could immediately find out what happened in anyone's house.
"There is a shop next to Chen's Noodle House that is being renovated recently. It looks very nice, with fish inlaid on the wall. It attracts a group of children to go and see the fish every day."
Wen Qin: "Where is Chen's Noodle House?"
The old man pointed and said, "We need to move forward."
Jiang Ge had no choice but to move forward.
Chen Ji Noodle House is the most conspicuous in the old street. In addition to its large area, it has an eye-catching red-painted door and large red lights and characters. Compared with the rough and bold Chen Ji Noodle House, the "Magic Fish Shop" next to it suddenly becomes a fresh and clean one.
Jiang Ge parked the car on the side of the road and the three got out.
Si Xu is a public figure and his every move will be watched. He wore a mask but no hat.
The three of them opened the door and entered the store. They all felt very comfortable when they saw the decoration and furnishings inside the store.
Si Xu's gaze stopped on the figure in the kitchen. Lin Jiu was wearing light-colored casual clothes with his sleeves rolled up. His long black hair was tied behind his head. He had a graceful appearance and calm eyes. He was holding a long spoon and slowly stirring the pot. His movements were skillful and his expression was focused. In the mist, Lin Jiu looked too good to be a real person.
"This is too romantic. It feels like a cafe rather than a place to eat." Jiang Ge's loud voice ruined all the beauty.
Lin Jiu looked up and ran into the sight of a person. The person was wearing a mask, and his exposed eyes had a nice shape. Such eyes made Lin Jiu feel a little familiar.
Jiang Ge pointed at the dining instructions on the wall at the entrance and said, "Lin Jiu, you are too arrogant. Look at this long list of dining rules."
1. No reservations, no take-out, only dine-in, no food waste;
2. The daily menu is decided by the boss and no orders are accepted;
3. No matter what ingredients you ask, the boss can guarantee that they are absolutely fresh;
4. The price is clear and no bargaining is allowed.
The three of them read through the dining rules. This business is run in a domineering yet Buddhist way.
The rules are here, eat it if you want or not.
When the three of them saw the prices of today's dishes, they understood Lin Jiu's confidence.
It is true that it is up to you to eat or not, as for money matters, you cannot force it.
Wen Qin looked at Lin Jiu. He was really good-looking, better looking than in photos and in front of the camera. His appearance was very impressive. Wen Qin listened to all the songs of the Dream group these days. Lin Jiu had a good voice, but the group's songs were not suitable for him. The song selection was a big problem. The whole group was weird. They picked songs as if they were playing, without considering whether the individual voice was suitable.
Now that the group has disbanded, it may not be a bad thing for Lin Jiu. As long as there is a strong team to package and plan for him, it will not be difficult for him to become popular with his looks and voice. It is probably a collective delusion for "Chuangxing" to shelve such a good seedling.
"What kind of paella do you want to eat?" Lin Jiu only prepared the ingredients for paella today.
Jiang Ge leaned over the bar and looked inside. "No silver croaker? We want to eat silver croaker."
Lin Jiu: "There is silver carp in the seafood rice."
"Three large servings of seafood rice first." Jiang Ge ordered the most expensive one. "Is there a private room? It's not convenient for my friend."
Jiang Ge pointed at Si Xu beside him, as he was afraid that someone would come in later.
Lin Jiu took a look at him and saw that although he was tall, he was very thin. He guessed that he was the sick friend that Jiang Ge mentioned.
"Go to the innermost room."
Jiang Ge went over first and found a private room. He opened the door and was warmed by the design inside. Every detail was cozy. The back wall was designed with wooden windows, and outside the windows were green banana trees.
There is a semicircular flower bed behind the old street. Every household has one, but it has been neglected over the years. Some of them are used to grow vegetables by the elderly, and some are abandoned and overgrown with weeds. The flower bed of Lin Jiu's family was designed by him into a scenic spot.
A long table is designed in front of the window, where you can sit and daydream, listen to the rain, and look at the banana trees.
Si Xu stood in front of the window and suddenly understood Lin Jiu's mood. He might not want to return to the hustle and bustle of the entertainment industry. Such a quiet and peaceful life was what he wanted most.
