The moon is in the middle of the sky, and stars light up the night sky, but no one appreciates it.
The white-collar workers who just finished working overtime hurried to catch up with the last subway.
The street under the dim light exudes a sense of decadence. Looking at the cash register's turnover of only 30 yuan a day, Du Qi sighed in his heart. Take out paper and paste from the old cash register, get up, pull down the rolling door of the small shop, and stick the red paper with the words "store for rent" on it.
The shop is located in a dilapidated street on the edge of the city, and the neighbors are waiting for demolition to lead a life of becoming rich.
Unfortunately, when the office building expanded to 100 meters next door, the old street became a veritable village in the city, which only angered the neighbors.
"It's all right. At least we don't have to guard anymore, but we're sorry for Grandpa Su." Du Qi couldn't help laughing at the harsh words.
Looking up at this small shop that does not belong to him, Du Qiyi's mind drifted far away.
Like the beginning of all conventional stories, Du Qi left his home deep in the mountains with longing for the outside world after his parents had an accident when they went out to work.
He said it was hard work, but his age kept him against the wall. Finally, he came to this shop and was accepted by a kind boss.
The boss is an old man who raises his granddaughter alone. He sells flour noodles to make a living in a village in the city and does neighborhood business. The old man usually takes charge of the kitchen, while Du Qize helps with groceries, vegetables and dishes.
After getting along for a long time, even strangers will have feelings. The old man began to care about Du Qi's life. When he learned that he had dropped out of school because of the death of his relatives, he helped him continue his studies.
One subsidy will last for five years. In addition to the employment relationship, the two also have a little more kinship. In his spare time, Duqi helped in the shop. The shop became his second home.
When Du Qi was in his senior year, he was just about to practice, but the old man was seriously ill. It was only three months from being hospitalized to leaving. Before he died, he entrusted Du Qi with his affairs.
Duqi gritted his teeth, gave up his job altogether and reopened his shop. In the final analysis, it is nothing more than "reluctant". This shop is the work of the old man. He is reluctant to waste it. This place has kept him for six years.
Unfortunately, when the boss changes, the human touch will disappear, and the taste of the store will also change. No one will patronize the neighborhood business that we have been doing since its taste changed.
In order to subsidize losses, Du Qi opened a shop during the day and worked as a tutor at night. A room next to the small shop was rented out to earn some rent.
Today, I can't hold on for one year.
A gust of wind blew, driving the small door next to it, and bumped into Du Qi's forehead, who was standing in front of the door in a daze.
Du Qi fell to the ground in the darkness before his eyes, and sat on the ground for a long time without any relief.
"Find the host, the strongest food system has been activated!"
A row of blue subtitles suddenly appeared before his eyes.
"System?" Du Qi got up in surprise and doubted that he had fallen silly, otherwise he would not have hallucinated.
Pinch the thigh, it hurts, it's very real.
"50%, 80%, 100%..."
"Scanning completed.
Name: Du Qi (Power)
Advantages: strength, endurance, speed
Cooking skill: no grade (0/1500).
Active menu: None
Comment: Hello, rookie. "
Du Qi shook his mouth and was speechless. Is the evaluation so real? And what's the experience value?
Since it is a food system, the experience value should be improved by cooking.
Before Du Qi asked, the system seemed to know what he was thinking, and a line of characters appeared automatically.
"This system stores a large number of recipes, enabling the host to quickly learn to make delicious food. The ultimate goal is to cultivate the host into the strongest kitchen god, so that the world can feel the joy of delicious food."
Du Qi was stunned for a moment. He thought of the shop he had opened and didn't know what to say for a moment.
This is an opportunity! This kind of black technology, which can directly show information in front of us, has extremely powerful persuasiveness. Looking at the empty hall, Du Qi said to himself, "How can I learn to cook?"
"[Novice Task] Save the Store
Task description: The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. As the future kitchen god, your shop is on the verge of bankruptcy. What a shame! Save the store in the glory of the system.
Task goal: redecorate the store and start again with a better attitude.
Task reward: random staple diet × 1. "
Instead of staying at the door, Du Qiyi tore down the advertisement for renting the store, walked into the store several steps, and found a stool to sit down. The sudden appearance of the system made him decide not to rent out the store for the time being.
There are six long tables in the lobby, each of which is equipped with two stools. The tables and chairs are clean and tidy, but the mottled marks inevitably left by the years.
Rubbing his forehead, he began to worry about the task. In the past year, the 20000 yuan left by Grandpa Su has been spent, while Du Qi has saved 10000 yuan himself, but it is certainly not enough for decoration.
"The host is too poor to complete the task, so the novice gift package comes into effect and opens."
Du Qi is an inspiring and evil person. He even knows how much money he has. Also, the system comes with a new gift package?
"What the hell is the system?" asked Du Qi. The first priority is to understand how to use the system.
Du Qi is not comfortable with such an extra thing in his body. Although he wants to turn over by the system, the first task is to understand the operating mechanism, and not move to create a new thing.
"Get a free task completion card, the task completion card takes effect, the upgrade store begins, and the progress bar is reading..." The system has no response, talking to itself.
Duki tangled up. The system seemed a bit silly. The computer could at least return a yes or no, and could only read the message by itself.
This side is still hesitating, and a magical scene has happened there.
The tables and chairs in the shop disappeared, then the white light flashed, and several new sets of tables and chairs appeared in place: the long tables and benches made of birch wood were painted into ink, with ancient charm and fragrance.
The greasy wall gradually faded, and the white appearance was restored, and the landscape wallpaper was pasted on the wall... The price tag was also carefully hung on the wall with a red rope, but the brand was empty, and there was no dish.
There are computers on the cash register, and cameras are hidden in four corners of the hall. The whole hall can be monitored by computers.
The wall separating the kitchen has been completely transformed into a large wooden door. At this time, the door is open and you can see through the kitchen at a glance.
The hall is lit with soft yellow light, which makes Duki a little uncomfortable. He looks up and sees that the original incandescent lamps are replaced by lanterns, emitting warm warmth.
"The store upgrade is complete, please name the new store."
"I'll go!" Du Qi didn't respond to the shock of the restaurant's automatic transformation.
……
"Please name the new store."
At this time, he came back to himself, hesitated for two seconds, and put aside the confused thoughts in his mind. He replied, "I can't eat vegetarian food."
The failure to eat vegetarian food was the name given by the old man to the store. He said that when he was young, he was hungry and afraid. When life became better, he liked to eat meat. Even the restaurant was called "failure to eat vegetarian food".
What Du Qi can do is to try his best to keep some traces of the past.
Looking at the brand new store, Du Qizhen worked hard. Anyway, the store finally had the hope of continuing to operate. By the way, I'm a little lucky that the store name has not been changed to "I'll go".
The mobile phone in his pocket vibrated slightly, and he took out a look.
"Dear user, you spent 9580 yuan through the network terminal, and the balance was 842.88 yuan."
The system timely made up the knife: "The upgrade cost a total of 115580 yuan, and 106000 yuan of reserve was used. The host is requested to repay it on time, and the system will regularly deduct it from the host."
