Chapter 189 You two are so well matched

Chapter 189 You two are so well matched

This was the most luxurious breakfast Lu Yao had ever had.

But it is also the most ordinary breakfast.

Of course, the taste was perfect, especially the soup, which did not have any fishy smell of pigeon at all, and was cooked very well.

But... in Lu Yao's heart, the other things are really not worth the price.

The skill of frying eggs is not even as good as mine, why does it cost 80 yuan each?
There is also a 25 percent service charge...the waiter just serves the dish, where does the service charge come from?
It was so painful for him to eat.

So much so that after breakfast, when he got on the bus, he had a speechless expression as if his head was hurting.

"Unhappy?"

The lady in the passenger seat looked at his expression and asked.

Lu Yao shook his head slightly:

“It’s not that I’m unhappy, I just feel it’s not worth it.”

"But at least it's not bad, is it?"

"Do you mean?"

"Ingredients."

The royal sister leaned back in her chair, her eyes were quite calm:

"You haven't seen my friends here very often, so you don't know... But I have learned some information from them. Let me take Shanghai as an example. Some high-end restaurants in Shanghai, including some reception restaurants that are not open to the public, actually have their food procurement done in a unified way by several companies. The biggest task of these companies that provide food is to ensure the safety of the food.

For example, for eggs, they build their own chicken farms to ensure that the bacteria in each egg does not exceed the standard. For example, for vegetables, the pesticide residues must also be tested under extremely high standards... and these ingredients are very expensive. But at the same time, the taste is not necessarily different from ordinary eggs. But do you know why hotels still purchase their ingredients instead of buying them in the market? "

Lu Yao thought for a moment and asked:

"Guarantee the lower limit?"

"That's right. It's about ensuring the minimum amount of ingredients. For example, the Yanjing Hotel receives many distinguished guests, and some even receive guests with political missions. Have you heard that joke? Westerners are so fragile that a five-nut mooncake can persecute the whole of Europe."

“…I’ve heard of it.”

"So, you see. Once these vulnerable Westerners get into trouble because of the hotel's food ingredients, then, to put it in a broader sense, it's a smear campaign on the national level. So, they don't care whether their food ingredients are delicious or not. They only care whether the food is safe. Even if you go to their kitchens, you'll find that the amount of food they waste every day is staggering. But why is this so? In fact, it all comes down to the bottom line.

Here, whether it is food safety, political ecology, or other aspects...some things are better not to do, and you must not make mistakes. So, their dishes are indeed expensive, but you can eat them with confidence, at least, the food you eat will not harm your body. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand that, but... the service charge is ridiculous. 25 percent. What did they do? Just 25 percent?"

"That service fee is not just a service fee, it is also the cost of destroying the food. To put it bluntly, it is a cost recovery. You don't think that the catering at Yanjing Hotel is profitable, do you?"

“…Not profitable?”

"Of course not, it is losing money. But it is precisely this kind of loss that allows us to take on more tasks. As guests, we can't enjoy... for example, the taste of the roast duck we ate yesterday. After all, it is not authentic, but we can eat it with peace of mind... Lu Yao."

As she spoke, she turned her head and looked at Lu Yao with a serious look in her eyes:
"You have to learn to protect yourself. Food has been a top priority since ancient times. You have to understand that illness comes from the mouth, and it is not just talk. So, sometimes, it is better to eat expensive food than good food. At least, it will not let those pesticide residues and the like harm your body."

"..."

Lu Yao was speechless.

Because... according to what she said, perhaps 90% of people in China are "harming" their own bodies.

Who doesn’t know that excessive pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables has always been an unsolvable problem?

But... he understood what Xu Ruochu meant.

There are some things that rich people may not be unaware of their cost.

But everyone has a different way of measuring what is worth it.

Really different.

She is like this, and her girlfriend is in almost the same situation.

Cheap is not necessarily bad.

But expensive ones must be good in some aspects.

These are their values.

At first glance, this seems to be a big problem, but if you think about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong with this idea.

He subconsciously gave a bitter smile:
"I always feel that... since I met Sister Chu, my worldview has been subtly changed by you. I can now look at some absurd things rationally."

"Isn't this bad?"

Xu Ruochu asked.

Lu Yao shook his head:

"It's not good... Sister Chu. Just like today's breakfast, only those who have truly achieved financial freedom have the right to choose, right? For example, if I were a salaried worker, a breakfast would cost me half a month's salary. What do you think?"

"So... everything is still measured by money?"

"correct."

“Will there be such a transformation when you achieve financial freedom?”

"Who knows."

Holding the steering wheel of this expensive Mercedes-Benz S, Lu Yao shrugged.

He didn't know either.

Xu Ruochu smiled slightly.

The meaning is unclear.

……

The software company that Xu Ruochu commissioned is called Xunke Software, and it is quite large.

When they arrived at the place, they were received by the project manager, not other senior executives.

From this point of view, the strength of this software company should be very good.

The project leader is Zhang Jinchong, a guy wearing glasses who completely fits the definition of a "programmer".

"Boss Xu, Boss Lu, please look."

He was holding a test Android phone, which was connected to a nearby screen:
"This is the taxi-hailing software developed according to your requirements. At present, we have established the database according to your requirements, including the red envelope reward mechanism you proposed, map navigation data, real-time positioning system, etc. Of course, this is only the passenger version at present. For the driver version, we just swapped the system. For the specific software version, you still need to give specific requirements... Let us demonstrate it to you first. Can you two take a look?"

As Zhang Jinchong spoke, he saw Lu Yao and Xu Ruochu nod, then he called his colleague at the entrance of the park.

"It's time to start."

Having said that, he hung up the phone, operated the software for a while, checked the departure and destination, and clicked the "take a taxi" button.

On the screen, the software loading circle waited for about three to five seconds, and suddenly a new window popped up: Beijing A88888, on the way, please wait.

At the same time, a green line appeared in the map navigation. On one end of the green line was a vehicle icon, and on the other side was a user icon.

But... the picture is a little stuck.

Lu Yao looked at the car that was moving like a slide and asked:
“Is its navigation accurate?”

"It's very accurate. We are connected to the Beidou navigation system. Although we are currently using AutoNavi as data support, the positioning is already accurate to within 50 meters. In addition, according to your requirements, drivers and users must register with their real names using their mobile phones. Once they are nearby, they can just call to communicate the location."

"50 meters? Can you be more precise?"

Looking at the moving picture frame by frame, Zhang Jinchong shook his head after Lu Yao asked:
"We can provide more accurate navigation, but the licensing fee is... sky-high, Mr. Lu. Very expensive. In fact, it's mainly a problem of network service positioning. If you want more accurate positioning, the fee will be higher. And this level of licensing is the most economical and affordable at the moment."

Hearing his words, Xu Ruochu suddenly asked:

"It's also related to the radio frequency positioning chip in the mobile phone, right?"

Zhang Jinchong was stunned.

Then he nodded and said:
"Yes. But I don't know much about this. If you really want an answer, you can ask our technicians in detail when they come over."

Xu Ruochu nodded to show that he understood.

Soon, Beijing A88888 arrived at the pick-up destination.

Zhang Jinchong called the two people to the window.

The two saw an ordinary Corolla outside the window.

In fact, he played a little trick here.

The positioning was clearly 50 meters, but the car drove directly to the door, which showed that the positioning was very accurate...

However, Lu Yao and Xu Ruochu did not expose it.

Lu Yao understood that the limitations of taxi-hailing apps were not software problems, but rather that the technology of this era was just getting started.

Not to mention anything else, in three or four years, you will see... then the car will be able to go wherever the user is located.

Then, Lu Yao and Xu Ruochu got into the Corolla together.

The car took them around the factory several times, and after the fare reached 15 yuan according to the Yanjing taxi price, everyone returned.

The simplest step in software acceptance is just beginning to show its potential.

Next it was Lu Yao's turn to perform.

Although this software already has a large model, it is still very rough and needs to be polished in various places.

For example, the most inhumane layout problem.

"Mr. Zhang, we need to move the address input box down to a place where it can be operated with one hand. This will definitely be more convenient..."

"And here, once we get a car, we need to give the passenger a more detailed description so that he can recognize the car at once. So, not only the license plate, but also the color of the car, black, white, blue, red... these also need to be displayed. At the same time, whether it is a sedan or an SUV also needs to be reflected..."

"I know these require the support of a database, so we can build it up little by little, right? Different models should at least be roughly distinguished."

"And the navigation terminal..."

“Route design and planning…”

Lu Yao said, Zhang Jinchong just remember it.

And Xu Ruochu just listened quietly beside him.

She would look at Lu Yao from time to time...or rather, most of the time, her attention was on Lu Yao.

Clear mind.

Have a clear understanding and judgment of the product concepts you design.

When leading a project, I am rarely disturbed by subjective cognition, but prefer to put myself in the third-person perspective and make rational judgments.

Moreover, he is very confident about this product. From his description, it can be seen that a man who is confident about the subsequent planning of the product is indeed very attractive.

Full of maturity.

His jawline is very prominent.

It seems... he has become much stronger recently.

You have such long legs, you will definitely look very handsome in trousers.

But he seems to look handsome in sportswear.

You can go to the sports area while shopping.

Hu Li said that he looks particularly good wearing glasses... Weird, what does he look like wearing glasses?

Unconsciously, her thoughts had gone astray.

But she had no intention of stopping it, and just let her heart run wild.

Until... it was almost noon, Lu Yao, who had put forward a bunch of suggestions for rectification, ended the meeting with Zhang Jinchong, and the two were personally sent to the car by each other.

"Chujie, how do you feel?"

"……what?"

Xu Ruochu was stunned. "The things I just mentioned."

"Uh……"

If she had to be honest, she would only say that her attention was entirely on the other person in the second half of this morning.

I never cared about this software at all.

But it was hard to say it out loud, so I could only nod:

"Oh, that's alright."

"……Gone?"

Lu Yao was speechless.

Considering that I mentioned so many things, and you only said one sentence... or just a few words?

But Xu Ruochu nodded:

"Well, it's all good."

"..."

Lu Yao was completely speechless.

Then I heard the royal sister laugh:

"Professionals should do professional things. I'm an investor, not a software developer. The less you interfere with product ideas, the better, right?"

Lu Yao thought to himself that this was indeed true.

So he nodded:
"Then let them make the changes according to my idea. We will try to start testing in the second half of the year."

"Ah."

Xu Ruochu responded, checked the time on the central control, and said:
"Shall we go get something to eat?"

"Okay, what do you want to eat, Sister Chu?"

"Shabu-shabu? How about it? ... You can't come here and not eat shabu-shabu, right? Then we go shopping in the afternoon?"

"Is there anything else next?"

Lu Yao asked curiously as he drove out of the Science and Technology Park.

This morning, he had almost finished all the miscellaneous things, and he was a little confused as to why the other party had to stay here for so many days.

"Uh……"

Xu Ruochu was stunned.

Nodding subconsciously:

"Yes. But we have nothing to do today. After dinner, we can just buy two sets of clothes."

In fact, she lied.

Because her main purpose of coming to Yanjing was about this software.

Now it has been completed... If you really want to go back, you can return to the Magic City now.

But she didn't want to leave.

I just don't want to leave.

After hearing what she said, Lu Yao didn't think much about it. He nodded and started to enter the address of the shabu-shabu restaurant on the navigation according to his memory.

"Jubaoyuan? Where is this?"

"It's a place that specializes in hot pot. There are a lot of people. We will probably have to wait in line for a long time."

Xu Ruochu didn't really care about queuing.

She was just a little curious:
"Haven't you been to Yanjing before? Why are you so familiar with these places?"

Although this question was abrupt, Lu Yao had already thought of a plan:
"I was looking for these restaurants last night and did some preparations in advance."

"..."

Xu Ruochu was speechless.

Only his eyebrows became softer.

What else can be said?
In order to eat the representative food of a strange city, a man memorized the names and types of all the restaurants overnight.

After he proposed it himself, he knew where to go...

Need anything more to say?

It is no longer needed.

……

A treasure source.

Lu Yao looked at the ticket number 77 in his hand and felt a little pain in his cheek.

He knew that there were many people in Jubaoyuan.

But that is later...

Who would have thought there would be so many people now?

Then they called out number 40, which means there are more than tables ahead.

How long will this take?
He was speechless.

But Xu Ruochu was quite happy, holding a bag of sesame cakes in his hand.

This is what Lu Yao queued up to buy just now, he said it is a Yanjing specialty.

As for the sesame paste flavor of the cake...she didn't like it very much.

Her taste is relatively light.

But...it's delicious.

Especially since he bought it...

Just when Lu Yao was worried, the waiter called out: B28, is B28 here?

Lu Yao looked over subconsciously.

No one responded.

At this time, two girls next to Lu Yao began to murmur:
"Hey, hey, hey, it's almost our turn. It's almost our turn."

Another girl whispered:
"Is it really appropriate for the two of us to eat at a table for six? They won't chase us away, will they?"

"Just say your friends haven't arrived yet and let's eat first."

"That's...ok."

Lu Yao subconsciously turned his head to look. Judging from the accents of these two people, they seemed to be tourists from other places.

His eyes moved and he moved closer:

"Hey, hello."

The two girls looked up instantly, and were a little dazed when they saw Lu Yao.

Hey, handsome guy!
"Hello, handsome guy, what's up?"

one of the girls asked.

Lu Yao nodded and lowered his voice:
"Are there just two of you?"

The girl who spoke to me immediately became alert:
"What do you want to do?"

"Do not misunderstand."

Lu Yao quickly waved his hand, then pointed at Xu Ruochu who was tearing a sesame pancake next to him:

"How about we share a table? There are more than 30 tables in front of our Errentai... The four of us share a table, and we two will treat you guys to a meal, okay?"

Xu Ruochu happened to see this scene.

stunned.

Then he stood up.

"Oh?"

The girl's eyes lit up instantly:
"your treat?"

Lu Yao smiled and nodded:
"Yes, it's my treat. Let's share a table. We are really hungry... What's your number?"

"29, it's our turn soon... OK! Then the four of us will share a table. Don't worry, we... don't eat much..."

"Haha."

Lu Yao smiled and shook his head:
"That won't work. We are all here for tourism. Now that we are here, we should have a good meal."

"what happened?"

Xu Ruochu walked over with curiosity and a bit of elegance in her steps.

If you could ignore the bag of sesame cakes in her hand.

Before Lu Yao could speak, the girl asked:
"Is this your girlfriend, handsome?"

"Uh……"

Lu Yao was stunned.

But Xu Ruochu nodded:

"Well, hello."

"..."

Lu Yao's mouth twitched.

The two girls felt at ease instantly when they saw the Hermès worth one or two hundred thousand dollars in Xu Ruochu's hand... and his natural elegance.

Handsome guy, there is no hope for the two of them.

Although he is indeed very handsome...but his girlfriend is not ugly either.

It must be that we are not destined to be together.

But... if he can carry Hermès... he must be rich.

That should be enough for a big meal, right?
Hey.

The girl thought about it and nodded vigorously:

"Then... let's eat as much as we want... well, you two are such a perfect match!"

She also said something nice.

Lu Yao was even more speechless.

But Xu Ruochu was stunned.

Then his eyes curved into crescents.

"Thank you."

She fell in love with both girls.
