Chapter 109.1: Good Food (6)
For the Blue Star people, these 7 days were the most difficult to get through.
In 7 days, they experienced all kinds of food explosions.
The names they never heard of, the ingredients they never saw, and even scents they’ve never smelt.
During these 7 days, the Blue Star people who watched the live broadcast were even dreaming about eating.
Each day was spent looking forward to the next day so that they could see more food, and each day was spent praying that it would quickly pass so that the 7 days would pass and the food would be available.
After all, it was too difficult for them to cook the delicious food.
Even if there were a video explanation, it would be too detailed for the Blue Star people, who seemed to have a natural lack of culinary skills.
Finally, 7 days later, the 311 Group appeared in front of everyone.
This name was a bit confusing. After all. although they had lost their culinary culture, all of Blue Star usecl the Chinese language of ancient Earth, so of course, they would also use Chinese names. Numerical names were really quite rare.
They only thought of it as an alien planet citizen with friendly relations with Blue Star, coming here to start a company.
There was a clothing company named (A$*&%*. and a game company named &:$#$%, so 311 was easily accepted by everyone.
It didn’t matter. Anyway, everyone came for the food, not the name.
The price list was made public after the announcement of the opening.
Expensive!
Very expensive!
Extremely expensive!
No one could express the significance. After all, the times when the pots were blown up, and not blown up but created a mess, the food-loving Blue Star people had learnecl the hard way that good food was hard to make.
There’s a reason why it was expensive. If people thought it was expensive and couldn’t afford it, they could just follow the recipe themselves.
So, without expressing any opinions about it, they startecl to buy buy buy! Even those who had doubts about the price didn’t say anything and chose to wait and see.
This caught Du Mowen and Lai Wei, who had been preparecl for the rejection by everyone for being too expensive. off guard.
How could no one scolcl them for being too expensive??
That didn’t make any sense!
As they were thinking about it, Lin Shiheng called them, “Take them off the shelves immecliately and put up an announcement saying that all the food is sold out. We’re waiting for the restocking and invite them to come back tomorrow."
When he looked at the inventory, Du Mowen didn’t really understand, “But we haven’t sold out yet."
“We’re going for a high price. If they buy as much as they can, we won t be able to keep up with the sales. Announce that we re out of stock first, and wait until tomorrow. The previously hesitant customers will anxiously come to buy, without us needing to urge them.”
“By the way, remember to print out more recipes and give away free recipes with every food item sold for customers who want to make their own food from the recipes.”
Du Mowen replied to his chip with heartfelt emotions, "Shiheng, you’re still so nice... You actually give out recipes for free without hesitation, just to help people save some money..."
This was where he, who was only concerned with making money, was utterly lacking.
There was a chuckle on the other end of the phone, “What I mean is... this is the only way they would understand that it’s normal for us to set such a high price. After they try it themselves."
Du Mowen: “..."
“Okay, I'll leave the rest to you guys... I think I won’t be back for a few days!"
Lai Wei looked at his friend, who was staring at his chip foolishly, “Did you get slapped in the face again? How many times have I told you that being kind is not the same as being foolish? Shiheng knows that in his heart.”
Du Mowen rubbed his nose, “Ahem, Shiheng is just too innocuous-looking."
“Well, I’ll announce that all the delicious food is sold out right now.”
He quickly manipulated the shop page with his hands in mid-air, and soon, all the delicious food that could have been bought turned gray.
The Blue Star people who were browsing the shop and hesitating to buy also heard the shop prompting souncl in their ears, [Sorry, the goods have all been sold out. The shop owner is restocking the goods, please come back tomorrow.]
The Blue Star people who hadn’t decided whether to buy or not: Huh??
Was there actually something that got sold out these days?!
“I told you to buy a couple of them and try at home, but you said they were expensive! Now we couldn’t even get one!"
“Weren't we thinking that we have a recipe, so we could make one ourselves?! Okay, okay, clon’t be angry. I’ll go and buy some tomorrow when it’s on the shelves."
“No!!! It’s so expensive and so sought after, come over early tomorrow and watch it in case it’s sold out again! Jenny got it and was just telling me how delicious it was, saying it was the best delicacy under the sun. If you can’t get it tomorrow, I’ll be really pissed!”
“Okay, okay, I’ll wait tomorrow. I’m sure I can buy it!"
When a commodity goes from valuable to expensive and priceless, its hidden value soars, and there are countless would-be buyers behind it, making those who were unsure at first immediately decide on buying it.
Generally speaking, things that were too easy to get wouldn’t be cherished. Similarly, food that was hard to buy, even if it was originally only 80% delicious, would rise to 100%.
Du Mowen looked at all kinds of information coming from the store and waved his hand to close the store page.
“Shiheng was right again. Not being able to buy them actually inspired more buying."
“Okay, hurry up and get ready to rush production, we’ll make a fortune this time!”
They both grew up in an environment where they wouldn’t fall into greed after getting what they wanted. Instead, they would set a higher goal for themselves.
Some Blue Star people who were unaware of these delicacies had also learned about them through various channels.
These clays, the majority of people weren’t short of money. Even with a ‘joining in the fun’ attitude. quite a few people had their eyes on the next day’s food.
Just as the entire main planet of Blue Star was cliscussing the expensive food, Lin Shiheng. the food maker, was walking along a street.
The main planet had always been bustling. and only those streets that needed to be repaired would be as empty as this one.
For some children, a place like this, where there were no vehicles or traffic police or adults or parents, was the best place for them to play.
Lin Shiheng had walked about 500 meters when he heard the faint sound of children laughing and screaming from ahead.
“Useless Lin, you’re the ghost! Come and catch us!”
(TNote: Her name is Lin Yu, but the kic/s are caiiing her lin Duoyu', meaning 'Useless Lin The ghost is the catcher in a children s game, similar to the Marco-Poio game.)
“Here, I’ll tie a blindfold on you. Count to a hundred and come catch us!"
His eyes slightly sank, and he took two steps forward. Then, he clearly heard a small girl’s voice, “But I’ve been the ghost five times."
“Then you can’t play with us! “
One of the children unhappily said, “We only played with you because you promised to be the ghost. Otherwise, who would want to play with you? You’re dirty, and you eat such disgusting nutrients."
“Exactly!!!"
All the other children joined in, “I wouldn’t be playing with you if my Mom hadn’t asked me to take you with me.”
“My brother said your hair is dirty too. You don’t even wash your hair, what if I accidentally touch your hair as the ghost?”
The cruelty of children was shown in these childish voices. The small girl’s voice gradually carried a sobbing tone, “It’s not. I had my hair washed. I washed it myself!”
“What do we do? She’s crying."
“Useless Lin, clon’t cry. If you’re not a ghost, then you’re not a ghost. Who was the first one she caught just now? “
“Okay, okay, don’t cry. Here, this is a nutrient solution from you. I brought it from home. My Mother asked me to give it to you."
Lin Shiheng, who originally had anger in his eyes, slowed down when he heard several children coaxing the crying girl.
He went to an alley, and sure enough, he saw some children there.
The skinny girl. clressed in rags and filth, with her hair tiecl up in a mess and wiping tears from her eyes, stood out in comparison to the children, who were dressed nicely, had rosy cheeks and were in high spirits.
Instead of going forward, he hid his body sideways, looking at the thin girl who looked like she was only 5 or 6 years old. She was sobbing, “You... you’re always bullying me, always making me the ghost. I can’t see it, and it hurts so much when I fall.”
The children who looked 2 or 3 years older than her looked at each other with guilty faces.
“Useless Lin, clon’t be angry. How about. next time, when you’re the ghost, and you feel like we’re bullying you, we’ll buy some nutrient solution for you to drink."
The girl was wearing a dirty dress with bloodstains on her two exposed calves and bleeding cuts on her elbows. She had obviously fallen while playing the game because she was blinclfolded and couldn’t see anything.
Hearing these words, her tears flowed even harder, “But why are you bullying me? I’ve never bullied you."
"Obviously, before, you guys said we were good friends!”
The expression on the several children seemed even more guilty. They just looked at the crying girl. then at each other, without saying a word.
Lin Shiheng saw that they were silent, so he simply came out.
“Xiao Yu.”
Hearing someone calling her name, Lin Yu subconsciously turned to look back, wiping away the tears. She saw a very tall, dark-haired young man approaching her.
