Restaurants connect to everything? It's reasonable for me to make 1 billion, right?

Chapter 499 Rouge Apricot?
Sheng Jiu was surprised that someone would help introduce business to him.
She first called her assistant and said she needed to contact the company.

Once the meal prepared for Alex was ready, Sheng Jiu sent a message to her assistant.

She has pictures of jewelry and ornaments saved on her phone.

If you want to be related to feng shui, focus on decorative items.

Therefore, Sheng Jiufa mainly posts these kinds of things.

The assistant still needs to contact and communicate with other bosses, so she can't give Sheng Jiu a direct answer for the time being.

Sheng Jiu wasn't in a hurry; she would just wait patiently.

Alex had probably never eaten such delicious food before.

After all, their daily routine consists of baking flatbread and grilling meat.

Yes, the authentic kind.

When Alex first tasted the incredibly flavorful food, he was immediately stunned.

Can food really taste this good?
He was stunned by the first bite, and after standing there dumbfounded for a long time, he sped up his pace.

This is delicious, and that is delicious too.

So this is how meat can be eaten?

It’s really magical!

Alex was amazed by Sheng Jiu and his team's ingenuity.

In places like mainland China, most meat is grilled because it's more convenient.

Of course, you can also boil it.

They actually have spices too.

However, the taste after cooking was... well, let's just say it wasn't quite right.

So, most of the time, Alex prefers to bake it.

But now, compared to all that frying, stir-frying, and deep-frying, Alex thought…

what?
烤？
What should we grill?

This is the real treasure!
too delicious.

Before you know it, you've eaten too much.

Finally, Alex couldn't sit down anymore and stood to the side, clutching his stomach.

I haven't repaid the life-saving debt, and I've already enjoyed a delicious meal.

After finishing the meal, Alex finally snapped out of his reverie and realized he had no money. He was so embarrassed that he almost collapsed.

He fidgeted with his hands and feet sheepishly and asked in a low voice, "How many gold coins do these cost?"

After asking the question, fearing that Sheng Jiu and the others might misunderstand his meaning, Alex quickly waved his hand and said, "It's not that I don't want to repay your life-saving grace. I just wanted to ask how much these meals cost. I'll pay you back when I earn the money."

After he finished speaking, he cautiously looked at Sheng Jiu.

After Sheng Jiu finished dealing with the feng shui ornaments, he had already communicated with the system.

She also learned a general idea about the relatively high-quality ingredients available in the Alex dimension.

Of course, some minor effects that are not obvious but taste very good may not be accurately counted in the system statistics.

Because the system data often contains specific place names.

Therefore, not all ingredients labeled as originating from the Western Fantasy Continent come from Alex's world.

Taking all this into consideration, Sheng Jiu tentatively asked, "How are the adventurers' hauls in the wild on your continent?"

Alex was injured in the wild.

Of course, there are many factors that can cause injury.

He didn't want to admit that he wasn't capable enough.

After all, there were no problems with the adventures in the past, and this time there were some minor flaws. This shouldn't have much to do with my own strength, right?
After thinking it over, Alex gave a relatively fair answer: "It's alright. Under normal circumstances, powerful heroes can get a decent amount of gold coins each time they return, ranging from a dozen to several dozen.

It mainly depends on the size of the hunted item. Larger and more valuable items will naturally yield a larger reward.

Hearing him say that, Sheng Jiu nodded and asked again, "Have you ever heard of Rouge Apricot?"

杏？
This question made Alex pause for a moment.

Fruit?
They don't really care about these things.

Although such items were more often used by nobles for their enjoyment.

However, because this kind of thing can be cultivated artificially, it is not as valuable as the meat or bones of various wild beasts.

Therefore, brave people generally don't care about these things.

However, when Sheng Jiu asked, Alex thought about it carefully for a while, and then nodded: "I've heard of it, there are supposedly quite a lot of them in the wild."

When faced with shortages of supplies, they sometimes had to eat fruit to fill their stomachs.

However, more often than not, they can still hunt some small animals through their own efforts to satisfy their physical needs.

Therefore, fruits and wild vegetables are not their first choice for adventure.

Those things couldn't provide them with any more power.

More often than not, it's just icing on the cake; for adventurous people venturing into the wild, it's really of little use.

However, Alex felt he could try to get it if his savior needed it.

However, before that, he had one more question to ask.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Alex hesitated for a long time before cautiously asking, "Do we get paid for our work?"

Sheng Jiu:?
She was taken aback by the question, but after she came to her senses, she gently explained to Alex that his situation was urgent at the time, and she was forced to sign the employee contract in order to save him.

She can only activate this cross-functional authority because the employees belong to her.

If Alex doesn't want to, it can actually be deactivated.

Alex wasn't unwilling.

He wanted to ask about the salary; if it was suitable, he actually preferred to have a stable job.

what?
This wasn't the Nanping Continent he knew.

That doesn't matter.

Anyway, he was all alone and had no other ties.

Therefore, he can accept living in a different place.

Of course, he also understood that he still owed her a debt of gratitude for saving his life.

So, after asking the question, he quickly added, "Don't worry, I will definitely repay your life-saving grace. Whether it's thirty or fifty years, just let me know, my benefactor."

With this announcement, Sheng Jiu's idea of ​​immigrating resurfaced.

She couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "What is the average life expectancy where you live?"

Alex thought for a moment and said, "Seventy or eighty years old, I guess."

Hearing this number, Sheng Jiu felt a little relieved.

Fortunately, it's within the normal range.

As a result, Alex quickly added, "It's not accurate to judge people by their own age. For example, many adventurers might die in their teens or twenties, but nobles live a stable and wealthy life. They also support priests and mages of the Light element who can provide various buffs to their bodies, so it's normal for them to live to be over two hundred years old."

Sheng Jiu:.

Okay, that's enough!

I know that people of high status in your area live longer.

However, Sheng Jiu was not envious of this situation.

Regarding the salary, Sheng Jiu didn't hide anything: "Our situation here is special. We provide food and accommodation, and daily necessities. As long as it's not excessive, we can provide everything. However, there is no salary, but there are occasional bonuses."

　The second update will be at 19 PM.

　　The red apricots in the market are 10 yuan per jin (they've cracked open).
