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

Chapter 507 The Rouge Apricots Arrive

Li Chengxiang actually knew about this, after all, he had been running the shop for several years and was very familiar with fireworks.

Moreover, he was the one who bought most of the fireworks back in his hometown.

So when Sheng Jiu asked, he immediately replied, "That one won't do. It's notorious for being shady. Go over 50 kilometers away. There's a fireworks factory there. Although it's a private factory, the quality of their fireworks is consistent. My family has been buying from them for several years, and they've always been great."

After asking about the fireworks, the two chatted for a bit.

This conversation eventually turned to gossip.

Li Cheng wanted to move closer to Sheng Jiu, but then realized that Sheng Jiu was a girl and it wasn't appropriate for him to squeeze in with her like Bo Er did with his buddies. So he stepped back a few paces and whispered, "You know the rice noodle shop next door, right?"

Sheng Jiu remembered that the old couple had raised several good-for-nothing sons, so she nodded.

Li Cheng sighed softly and said in a low voice, "His housekeeper is gone."

Sheng Jiu:?
She looked at Li Chengxiang with suspicion, thinking to herself, "Last time they only said he was hospitalized because of high blood pressure, and that's it?"
too fast?

That person wasn't very old; in the village, that age is considered the age to be adventuring and making a name for oneself.

Upon hearing that the person was gone, Sheng Jiu was truly stunned.

Li Cheng quickly said, "I heard that her three sons took turns causing trouble at the hospital. The old lady couldn't take it anymore and originally wanted to jump off the hospital building to extort money from the hospital. However, after she was discovered, the hospital called the police. Moreover, she met the discharge criteria, so they issued her discharge papers."

"I heard that the aunt tried to extort money from the street, but there aren't many places without cameras these days, and everyone has a dashcam in their car. Not only did she fail to extort money, she was also taken to the police station for a reprimand."

"I guess he had no other choice but to hang himself at home in the end."

……

Li Cheng thought he was able to know so much thanks to a customer who lived in the same neighborhood as the couple. The customer knew a lot and also knew the couple.

There's no way I wouldn't recognize them; their sons are incredibly famous!

Moreover, after the old lady made such a fuss, the building manager had subtly reminded everyone in the owners' group chat.

If someone is trying to extort money by risking their life, the homeowners have to be careful, and at the same time, they are paying more attention.

This attention led to the spread of news that the old woman had hanged herself in her own house.

The homeowners felt incredibly unlucky!

I heard that the old man and his sons even went to the property management company to see if they could extort money from them, and if that didn't work, they would still have the property.

"...I used to think that the couple had it pretty tough, even though the hygiene was so-so, and they dared to put any kind of technology in their rice noodles. Otherwise, why would their rice noodles be the only ones on our street whose aroma could be smelled for miles? But now, tsk~" As he spoke, Li Cheng pursed his lips, thinking that this family was really just putting a bad pot on a broken lid.

They should be a family.

Li Cheng was also very fortunate that their daughter had awakened early and stayed far away, so they could never find her again.

Otherwise, they'd probably rot in this pot too.

Sheng Jiu was truly stunned after hearing this.

Ah this...

Although she hadn't had much contact with it before, she had only heard her grandfather mention it, telling her to eat at rice noodle shops less often, and if she wanted to eat there, to go to the food court instead.

Sheng Jiu used to spend little time in the shop. After he officially took over Shengji, the couple didn't stay long before selling the shop and leaving.

So, I don't know much about it. Now, listening to it, I just feel that the world is so big and full of wonders!

This is really something. Even in death, he doesn't want to let himself go. He still wants to squeeze out the last drop of oil so that it can be given to his sons.
Sheng Jiu agreed with Li Chengxiang's words, thinking that it was really good that the other party's daughter had awakened and ran away.

Otherwise, they'd probably be squeezed dry!
After exchanging a few words, the two went back to their own business.

Alex is now adept at traveling between Nanping Continent and Shengji, bringing back ingredients...

Very simple.

There was no other way; the hero only knew all sorts of wild beasts.

Although the system said that the meat of those wild beasts was still very chewy.

However, because there are walls between planes, there are differences between beasts.

It's not like interstellar space, which has simply evolved or mutated.

It's completely different! So, if Sheng Jiu wants to use it as an ingredient, he needs to explain clearly what kind of meat it is.

Ordinary people might not be able to tell the difference, but discerning people can easily distinguish between pork and beef.

Sheng Jiu had no intention of causing trouble for herself.

Therefore, meat is not needed for the time being.

She still wanted the crimson apricot more.

Alex certainly lived up to expectations in his search for the Rouge Apricot.

However, other species, such as grapes, have not been found yet.

It could also be because their weather changes too quickly and their seasons are divided in a very strange way.

Even Alex himself sometimes gets lost in the mountains, let alone finding the ingredients.

However, Sheng Jiu wasn't greedy; having Rouge Apricot was enough for her.

In the real world, this thing simply serves as a laxative.

The effects of eating it are not even as good as drinking various kinds of honey.

The nectar of the cultivation world has extraordinary effects!
Therefore, Sheng Jiu did not promote the way of eating apricot flesh in the real world, but instead supplied it separately to the interstellar community.

There are many ways to eat apricot flesh; it can be cooked into fruit preserves, dried apricots, or other similar products.

Besides the apricot flesh, the Rouge Apricot also contains apricot kernels.

Almonds have many functions.

Its main advantage is that it can lower cholesterol!

There are even more ways to eat almonds.

A simpler option would be almond milk or almond tea.

It's a cold day, so a warm cup of almond milk is really comforting.

Moreover, Sheng Kee's exclusive almond milk contains nothing but sugar. Although some diners are unsure about this and the product is not cheap, they are hesitant to try it.

However, many regular customers blindly rush to try Sheng Kee's new products.

The sugar that Shengji uses now is extracted from sugarcane from the cultivation world.

The sugarcane was sent by Fairy Linglong. She didn't say in detail where she got it from, only that it was very sweet.

After Sheng Jiu had the system help process it, he obtained brand new brown sugar and white sugar.

The two types of sugar have slightly different nutritional components because brown sugar undergoes a coarse processing, thus retaining more of its components.

However, white sugar is a finished product obtained after secondary fine processing based on brown sugar, so it retains even less, almost none, of its nutritional components.

However, whether it's brown sugar or white sugar, the advantage of the cultivation world is fully revealed at this moment: they have no significant effect on blood sugar.

It's impossible to say there are absolutely no fluctuations.

But it's very subtle!

Moreover, Sheng Kee's almond milk is quite versatile.

You can choose not to add sugar, or you can add sugar yourself.

Ultimately, it depends on the diners' choices.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, Sheng Jiu is already cleaning up ingredients and preparing for the celebrations.

Street-side shops do not need to operate during the Spring Festival.

Most of them are closed for holidays. Unlike big hotels, they don't take on all kinds of banquets like New Year's Eve banquets. And during the holidays, business is still pretty good.

In contrast, small shops on the street do not have this advantage.

　The second update will be at 19 PM.
