Chapter 24 Snowy Night Hot Pot

Cheng Xi looked at everyone with despair: "Who among you can code...?"

Everyone shook their heads and said in unison: "No."

They seemed to understand her helplessness and despair at the time.

Seeing that the little wizard beast had been lying on the ground and coughing painfully, Cheng Xi immediately went up to treat it.

Anyway, it can cough up blood, so it should be possible to try to save it with human treatment, right?

Although it is an electronic fictional life form, its internal organs and blood are almost the same as those of humans. After Cheng Xi did emergency treatment, he transferred the wizard beast to the disinfected operating room in the hospital.

The doctors here have never seen such a magical creature, so they dare not take this operation. Fortunately, Kocho Shinobu is very good at medicine and was the owner of the medical institution Butterfly House before, so she was the main surgeon for this operation.

The operation was very successful, and the little wizard beast was completely out of danger. After lying on the bed and resting for a few days, he gradually recovered.

Everyone's injuries have been completely healed, and their bodies have basically recovered. After completing the discharge procedures, they came to the store.

The house has three floors, one of which is a connected shop with a large area. The second floor has three bedrooms, where the boys live. The third floor has four bedrooms, where the girls live.

It happened that the rent of the house that Cheng Xi rented before was due, and she did not renew it, but moved to the store to live with everyone.

Everyone redecorated the bedroom according to their own preferences, bought seasonings, furniture and appliances, made menus and selected sources of goods, and these processes were basically completed.

Suddenly, Butterfly Kanae asked a very important question: "Manager, have you ever thought about what our store is called?"

Hearing her question, Cheng Xi was silent, and everyone's eyes looked at her. After about half a minute, she finally spoke and told the truth: "This... I really don't have it."

"If you have any suggestions, we can brainstorm." She said a little embarrassedly.

Shinobu Kocho: "Green pheasant, Trichosanthes, bamboo fish."

Junpei Yoshino: "Earthworm man, centipede man, devil man."

Rosinante: "Cabbage, lettuce, water."

"Is this okay?" Although Oda Sakunosuke thought these words were a bit strange as the names of breakfast shops, he chose not to understand but joined in: "Then I suggest calling it Scale Petal White Agar, Vitality Chicken Pot, or Lava..."

"Don't say anymore." Cheng Xi was speechless and complained to Oda Sakunosuke, "Of course not!! Don't join their weird brain circuits so easily!"

Shinobu should go name the animal and plant museum.

Junpei should be the screenwriter for "Saw 11".

As for Rosie, he probably thought we opened a breakfast shop that specializes in feeding rabbits, right?

"Oda-kun, a mushroom like Amanita muscaria, which sounds poisonous, as a restaurant name can only attract customers who want to commit suicide to dine here!" Cheng Xi complained one by one, "It might as well be called the Palestinian Poisonous Scorpion."

Oda Sakunosuke: "That's fine."

Cheng Xi: "..."

"Oda-kun, please complain too!"

These weird names sound unreliable, even the Dragon Gate Inn sounds more serious than these, if it doesn't work, you can call it...

" "Tongfu Restaurant?" She muttered tentatively.

I thought someone would ask the classic question: "Why not call it Tongnan Restaurant?"

However, everyone nodded calmly and agreed to this restaurant name, which was a bit tacky but had a good meaning, without any doubts. This made her not know who to explain the answer she had already thought of in her mind.

So she chose to be straightforward and whispered to her shop assistants: "In this store, I will not let everyone experience suffering again."

Although she said this in a low voice, everyone had good hearing and could still hear it clearly. Shinobu Kocho said to her: "Don't say such sensational words suddenly."

It seems very reliable.

After the name of the store was determined, Cheng Xi looked at Rosinante and couldn't help but have a headache. Due to his sloppy personality, he couldn't find any suitable position for him in the store. She carefully observed Rosinante again, which made him a little hairy. I don't know why Cheng Xi stared at him like this.

When Cheng Xi was in the navy, Rosinante was not yet an adult and was a little kid. Now he has grown up, and his fluffy blonde hair shines particularly brightly in the sun. He is tall and has long legs, and his facial features are excellent. Although he will become a hollow dead fish eye when he is in a daze, he has an inexplicable feeling of seeing through life and not caring about anything. In short, he is a handsome guy.

"Rosie, you are so handsome, don't waste your beauty."

"Why don't you just stand by the pillar and greet guests?" Cheng Xi said silently.

Rosinante:...?

He has lived for twenty-six years and has experienced many ups and downs, but this is the first time that someone has let him make money by relying on his face, and standing by a pillar.

On the afternoon before the opening, everyone gathered in the store on the first floor to prepare for the opening tomorrow. Oda Sakunosuke and Yoshino Junpei were preparing the fillings in the kitchen, Cheng Xi and the Butterfly sisters were wrapping wontons around the table, and Rosinante was handing out flyers at the door of the store. The scene looked a little warm.

Because it was the first day of trial operation, the customer flow was unknown, so only 150 portions of each food were prepared. From four in the afternoon to seven in the evening, everything was ready. After dinner, everyone closed the store and agreed to get up at four in the morning the next day to start work, and then go upstairs to rest.

Cheng Xi walked into the bedroom and saw the reminder and unfinished manuscript on the desk. She became irritated instantly. She had written the finale of her novel, but she had been delaying the manuscript recently. After nearly ten reminders, the editor finally couldn't stand it anymore and issued an ultimatum. If the manuscript was not submitted tomorrow, he would bleed and hang himself in front of the newspaper office.

Cheng Xi was afraid that someone would die, so she sat at the table, with a pen, a cup of tea, and a stack of manuscript paper to create a miracle. Finally, she finished the finale at one o'clock in the morning. When she put down the pen, she felt that her soul was floating.

She stretched her arms and stretched her waist hard, shaking her sore and tired neck from side to side. Suddenly, there was a gurgling sound in her stomach. Cheng Xi rubbed her stomach, got up and went downstairs to find something to eat in the kitchen.

On the way, she happened to meet Yoshino Junpei, and their destination was also the kitchen, so the two of them went downstairs together. When they got to the first floor, they found that the kitchen light was on.

When they opened the curtain, they found that Oda Sakunosuke was cooking curry in the kitchen because he was hungry in the middle of the night. They arrived at the right time, and the curry was just out of the pot.

Oda Sakunosuke enthusiastically asked them if they wanted to eat. The rich aroma penetrated into their nostrils. There were soft potatoes and beef tendons in it, which looked delicious.

"Thank you very much." Cheng Xi served the freshly cooked, hot and fragrant white rice, and then handed the plate to Oda Sakunosuke, waiting for him to pour a large spoonful of curry on it. Yoshino Junpei also repeated her steps and ate a delicious curry in the cold late night.

"Burp!" After eating the midnight snack on the plate, Cheng Xi burped. The carbohydrates took effect in the body, and she was very sleepy in the middle of the night. After washing the plate and putting it in the cabinet, Cheng Xi returned to the bedroom. She planned to wash up and go to bed immediately, but...

The editor mentioned in the letter to her that Morganus would be on a business trip this week and would not be at the Economics Agency, so the publication of all articles would be handled by someone else. She still resented the last time Morganus spread the scandal between her and Shanks. This golden opportunity, the chance for revenge, had come.

Cheng Xi resisted the sleepiness and floated to the table, brewed a cup of ten-fold concentration coffee or tea, picked up the pen and began to take revenge.

Dear Mr. Astev, hello, I heard that you are responsible for the publication and publication of newspaper information recently. I have a very explosive news to tell you that will definitely go viral.

About thirty years ago in a city called "Wobiande", the then young Four Emperors Kaido met Mr. Morganus for the first time.

...

Thirty years have passed in a flash. Now one of them is a world-famous sea emperor, and the other is the president of the World News Agency. However, their career success is just to cover up their emotional loss...

She looked at the passionate fan fiction of Kaido and Morgause on the table, and smiled like a villain. She planned in her heart that Morgause, you'd better be quiet, or I will write a fan fiction about you and Sakaski next time.

After putting this article and the finale into a bag and sending it to the mailbox downstairs, Cheng Xi returned to the bedroom again. She glanced at the watch. It was already half past three and she could only sleep for half an hour.

However, why did she have a vague sense of foreboding?

But she was overwhelmed by sleepiness, and she didn't care about this ominous premonition. She fell asleep on the bed.

When she regained consciousness, it was the sun shining on her face. She slept soundly this time and didn't even go to Langhuan Pavilion. Cheng Xi subconsciously covered her head with a quilt to block the heat and wanted to sleep for a while.

No!

Where did the sun come from at 4:30 in the morning?

Cheng Xi rubbed her eyes and tried to open them. The dazzling sunlight made her feel uncomfortable. It took her a long time to adapt. She looked at the clock on the wall.

Half past eleven...

Cheng Xi: !!!

She suddenly opened her eyes, kicked off the quilt, put on a coat and went downstairs to check the situation. While going downstairs, she had been imagining that at least she had a group of reliable shop assistants.

The result was a shattered fantasy.

She looked at the closed door and the apologetic shop assistants and fell silent.

Hearing a sound coming from the stairs, Oda Sakunosuke turned his head and saw Cheng Xi appear: "Sorry, manager."

Because getting up late affected the opening of the restaurant, this reason was shameful but true.

Oda Sakunosuke was very satisfied with his current life. Although he still worked for others, at least he was out of Hong Kong. He didn't have to do things he didn't like. Although it was not a house by the sea, the house on the island was also very good. Although the people in the store came from different worlds, they were surprisingly easy to get along with. He was very satisfied with this simple and orderly life at present.

After Cheng Xi's persuasion, his knot was slightly untied. Although he thought that he was still not qualified to write the book he wanted to write before saving Saku and the others, he could practice writing some essays.

But there was one thing that bothered him, that is, his habit of writing novels and drinking coffee in the kitchen at night was completely unrelated to selling breakfast.

Cheng Xi sighed and explained, "I stayed up late last night to write a manuscript and didn't get up."

Yoshino Junpei stayed up late to memorize the spell, and the Butterfly sisters were studying chemistry. They never expected that the most reliable people in this store were Rosinante and Wizardmon.

The two of them got up in the morning and waited in the kitchen for nearly an hour, but no one came downstairs. Finally, they realized the seriousness of the matter and told the guests one by one at the door that something happened in the store today and it would be closed for the time being.

Cheng Xi: ...

At this time, Butterfly Kanae poked her head out from the back kitchen and said that lunch was ready and they could eat.

At the table, Cheng Xi also comforted everyone that today was an accident and that everyone could adjust their work and rest schedule at night. As a result, they still didn't get up the next day.

They didn't get up on the third day either.

Sure enough, staying up late is addictive. It is difficult to adjust the work and rest schedule. Looking at the dark circles under his eyes and the haggard face, Cheng Xi finally couldn't bear it anymore: "It seems that the yang energy has been sucked dry by the fairy."

Oda Sakunosuke: "Really? It really looks a bit like that."

Cheng Xi: "Please complain too!"

Then the man who was called "can't complain" finally began his serious complaints: "Manager, we won't be the first restaurant to go bankrupt before it even opens."

"It's possible." Cheng Xi lay on the table like a seaweed, "But compared to going bankrupt, the most important thing now is how to regulate the body and keep healthy."

Keep healthy!

Cheng Xi suddenly had another idea and suggested: "Anyway, we can't get up, why don't we change the breakfast shop into a beverage shop."

The 150 breakfasts that were ready to be sold were all eaten by themselves in the past few days. It doesn't matter if this breakfast shop is not open.

"Beverage shop?"

"Yeah."

"Beverage shop should be even less profitable." Yoshino Junpei suggested, "Master, don't you know how to make wine? How about opening a tavern?"

Compared to my hometown where people under 20 are not allowed to drink, and even shops that sell alcohol to minors will be punished, this world's love for alcohol is obvious, especially the pirates sailing on the sea, who are already fanatical about fine wine. On the contrary, in school, the popular milk tea shops on the commercial street are not very popular.

"No, no, no, I don't want to open an ordinary beverage shop."

Everyone subconsciously looked at her: "I want to open a beverage shop with health-preserving functions."

"For example, if you stay up late every day, it will hurt your liver, cause serious hair loss, and dark yellow skin. Our store can make sesame and black bean paste to nourish the liver and replenish qi, and prevent hair loss."

"I am so familiar with the proportions of this recipe that I can recite it backwards, 30g black beans, 8 red dates, 20g black wolfberry..."

There are also cassia seed longan tea to relieve excessive eye use, mulberry banana spinach milk, vitamin supplements, can grow taller, etc. Different drinks have different functions.

Everyone: Although I don't know much about it, it sounds very reliable and feasible.

So just like that, this breakfast shop that had been prepared for several months but never opened was successfully transformed into a beverage shop, and it was unexpectedly popular.

Tongfu Health Club is open only four days a week, from noon to 4 pm, and closes on time. The price is even raised three times, but it still became popular on the sea in just two months and is often out of stock. The reason is that even in the cruel and unreasonable world of pirates, there are people who lose their hair, insomnia, and even kidney deficiency (although these customers are privately looking for Rossi and Oda Sakunosuke, the two male employees, to secretly buy Wubao Tea).

The day before New Year's Day, the store was closed, and everyone was doing their own things until they finally gathered together to eat hot pot in the evening.

This meal was steaming, and the hot and boiling hot pot won the battle with the cold winter tonight. Cheng Xi felt a little hot after eating, so he walked over and opened the window.

Outside, the ground was covered with silver white. Everything was covered with snow, which fell down in a lavish manner. The color of the snow and the moonlight blended together, creating a leisurely and harmonious scene.

"It's snowing," she said.

Back at the table, toasting to celebrate, the atmosphere was warm, Cheng Xi drank and seemed particularly excited: "We are a team and will live happily ever after."

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

It was cold outside, but the wine and food were warm inside.

Maybe it was the effect of alcohol, she actually dreamed about her life in the Navy Headquarters tonight.
