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

Chapter 566 The Substitute for the White Moonlight

After hesitating for a few days, the new manager of Yu Ji ultimately rejected Xing Yuan's proposal, and Yu Ji also launched Yan Du Xian (a type of stewed pork and bamboo shoot soup).

When the new store manager declined, he told the truth.

He directly took the actual photos of Shengji's and Xingyuan's meals.

When the two are placed side by side, the contrast is still obvious.

Although Xingyuan did achieve this, the size of the ingredients was basically uniform.

However, Shengji's presentation of the finished dishes is still superior.

In terms of color alone, Xingyuan almost lost, not to mention the taste.

Many gourmets no longer come to Xingyuan to eat pickled bamboo shoots and pork soup; they go straight to Shengji every day.

They even got up early to queue, afraid of missing out on the 8 servings each day.

Xingyuan's manager has been quite irritable lately.

As for Shengji, we couldn't find out the specific location of the ingredients or the details of their operations.

They tried to communicate, but failed several times.

The purchasing department preferred to personally investigate new ingredient locations or niche ingredient gathering places rather than communicate with Shengji's suppliers again.

Then it's not artificial!

It's even more infuriating than artificial intelligence!

After Yu Ji's new store manager sent over the pictures, Xing Yuan's manager immediately sent the comparison photos to each department and told them to handle it themselves.

Departments: ?
Cleaning Department: ?

what?
What the hell does this have to do with us cleaning staff?

Sheng Jiu usually only hears about the outside world from Bo Er and the others during lunch or dinner.

After all, she's very busy these days.

Digging for bamboo shoots, searching for new ingredients, fruits, and the like.

By the way, the bamboo shoot digging is nearing its end.

Actually, there are still new bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest, especially after the rain, when the new shoots sprout very quickly.

However, the batch that has emerged now is no longer the vibrant freshness of spring.

Therefore, Sheng Jiu is not very active in poaching these days.

Actually, the taste of bamboo shoots at this stage isn't much different after they're dug up.

Moreover, you can dry them and save them to add to soups or other dishes to enhance their flavor.

However, the freshest batch had already been harvested by Sheng Jiu, and the rest was processed into dried food by the system.

They will also have winter bamboo shoots to dig up, so they won't have to worry about bamboo shoots this year.

In contrast, Shengjiu Mining is still very active.

After all, this is real money.

One piece of land is worth one unit of money.

Moreover, the content in this serving is not low.

The mining of diamond ore is more than halfway complete.

Occasionally, I would also play some games like World of Warcraft.

This product sells extremely well in both the cultivation world and the interstellar world.

In reality...

This is indeed not easy to promote.

After all, it involves issues such as raw material traceability.

Sheng Jiu didn't want others to think that she killed protected animals.

She's not, she didn't, that's impossible!

Therefore, we will not be selling it in real life for the time being.

As April arrives, spring planting in their area enters its busiest time.

Many diners have to stay in the city and work like beasts of burden on weekdays.

Even on their days off, they have no free time; they either drive or take a bus back to the village, truly living like beasts of burden!

There's nothing they can do; everyone has a few acres of poor land, and when it's busy farming season, they can't escape it. As a result, what should have been a busy weekend saw fewer customers at the restaurant.

After Yu Ji launched its premium dishes, it directly cut off many diners' appetites.

Diners used it as a substitute, but later found that it couldn't replace it, so they definitely gave up on it and looked for something else.

In this day and age, there are quite a few alternatives.

Across the street from Shengji and Yuji, two similar restaurants opened one after another.

They are: Shengji and Zhanji.

Although they did not openly declare that they were Shengji's replacement.

However, when advertising for the grand opening, they subtly hinted at it, letting diners know that they were substitutes for the beloved character.

Cheap, large portions, and filling!

With a new, affordable alternative, Yu Ji's revenue is expected to increase significantly.

You became popular because we used you as a substitute.

As a result, you treated your customers like韭菜 (a metaphor for exploiting them).

Sorry, the chives have grown legs and run away!
During the busy farming season, Yu Ji's customers dwindle even further.

Some people think Xingyuan is too expensive and want to come to Yuji to find some good ingredients to eat.

Even the worst scraps are still good ingredients!

After discovering the technology and the demanding nature of the work, they gave up immediately.

If I'm willing to spend this much money, can't I go to a better place to eat?
Then, they turned around and went into Shengji.

These past two days, Sheng Jiu has been mining in the mornings and spending the afternoons in Yuan Xinghe's ancient world.

the reason is simple.

A disciple from the distant sect wrote to Sheng Jiu, asking if the spring water from before was still there.
They sent spirit stones, various cultivation manuals, talismans, and elixirs.

In short, the compensation was very generous.

Their goal was clear: they wanted to use the spring water to refine pills and weapons.

You can even draw talismans!
Not only the distant guests, but also Fairy Ling Shuang needs it.

The other party also said that if she doesn't have anything else to do recently, she might come in person.

Besides needing spring water, Shengjiu's post station, as well as the other post stations in the city, all had missions that specifically requested Shengji's spring water.

Because the robot couldn't handle this matter, for the past two days, Nangong Zishu has been handling daily social engagements and work arrangements in the cultivation world of Yuanke and his group.

Nangong Zishu first reassured the customers who came to her door wanting to buy spring water.

Then I sorted out the exact quantities and told Sheng Jiu about them during dinner.

With so many people needing it, Sheng Jiu definitely has to find a way.

Although, after the start of spring, Xia City experienced a severe water shortage.

However, you can still find some if you dig around.

Sheng Jiu bought a complete well-drilling set directly from interstellar space, and then during lunch break, he took all his friends to dig a well in ancient times!

The advantage of interstellar equipment is that it has backup power sources for places that need electricity.

Although this thing is expensive, it's like a generator; it can be used indefinitely and has a long lifespan.

Most importantly, it is more convenient to use than a generator.

Therefore, after Sheng Jiu spent a lot of money to buy it, all the equipment that needed to use electricity could use this.

Sheng Jiu had considered drilling a well before.

Prefect Liang knew about this matter.

Upon hearing that Sheng Jiu was coming to dig a well, Prefect Liang hurriedly took out his own well-drilling plan, hoping to see if he could freeload off a few wells.

Of course, he certainly didn't take advantage of the situation for nothing.

He gave me the money!
Sun Susu and Boer operated the machines for drilling the well, so Sheng Jiu didn't need to do anything. She only needed to stand at a distance and supervise.

With nothing else to do, she chatted with Prefect Liang and asked about the situation on Yuan Xinghe's side.

Prefect Liang adapted very well to Sheng Jiu's natural use of the Crown Prince's name, and did not show any unusual expression on his face. He replied with his eyes lowered, "I just received a letter a few days ago saying that the capital is now under my control."
