Food: Starting with Wonton Noodles

So the basic settlement reward is based on sales volume; no wonder it can only be unlocked after sales have started.

Although it was only 2-4 times, not the hundreds of times cashback of the "Godly Rich" system, Zhou Yu was already very happy.

He wasn't ambitious; he would be content to work without too much stress, do what he liked, enjoy good food, and acquire enough wealth.

The system's suggestion aligned perfectly with his thoughts, with a daily base reward cap of 100 orders, which was a very comfortable number for him.

For a good restaurant, making 100 orders a day is not difficult; in fact, it's a relatively easy number.

Any more and it would be too busy and tiring. We already have a system, and if we keep adding more, it would be a disservice to the system that came from the sky.

Just like the system suggests, the goal is to serve 100 orders per day. If you feel that the money is not enough in the future, you can increase the price per order.

For example, a bowl of wonton noodles could cost ten or twenty thousand. Thinking of this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but twitch his own lips.

He first clicked to claim the basic settlement reward.

Then, his phone immediately rang: "1000 yuan received via WeChat."

He calculated that, excluding the bowl of noodles he gave to his nephew, he had sold 85 bowls of wonton noodles and 50 servings of cucumber salad today, with a turnover of exactly 1000 yuan.

Now, with the system's base reward of 1000 yuan doubled, today's total income is 2000 yuan.

So, by doing this, the few hours I spent setting up a stall tonight have almost earned back half of what I spent over the past two days.

Zhou Yu looked at his phone carefully; he had spent over four thousand yuan in the past two days.

The bulk of the payment was 1500 yuan for Gao Jing'an's stall and 200 yuan for the stall stand.

Then I spent 1300 yuan on second-hand equipment. The biggest expenses were two electric soup stoves for 300 yuan each, two gas-fired soup pots for 160 yuan each, and 50 chicken bowls for 150 yuan each. The rest were miscellaneous expenses.

Then there was the cost of ingredients, which was over a thousand yuan. But the biggest expense was buying a whole month's supply of dried flounder with He Jiafu, which cost over seven hundred yuan.

There are also several hundred yuan worth of condiments and soy sauce, which are also purchased monthly.

From this perspective, as long as I sell 100 orders tomorrow, quadrupling the sales bonus, I can earn back all my principal and start making a profit.

Zhou Yu suddenly realized that setting up a stall could actually be quite profitable.

Feeling pleased with himself, he also clicked to claim the customer satisfaction reward.

Instantly, the entire process of making double-skin milk pudding appeared in his mind.

However, he found it a bit strange. Wasn't there supposed to be a basic chef skill section? Why didn't he see any additional knowledge on that topic?

While thinking, Zhou Yu checked the system again.

He then discovered that the "Pending" status for the basic chef skills had been changed to a countdown and several additional lines of text.

[Basic Chef Skills (Unlocking): Countdown: 30 days]

[Note: To become a chef, one must first have a healthy body and ample physical strength. This skill requires activating the host's basic physical abilities before it can be unlocked. During the unlocking process, the host needs to "perform a 5-kilometer morning run twice a week and a one-hour bodyweight strength training session twice a week".]

[During skill activation, the host's recovery ability and physical fitness will be enhanced twelve times over. If the skill is interrupted after activation, it will be considered that the host has voluntarily given it up, and no further rewards related to this skill will be provided.]

Zhou Yu thought about it and realized that being a chef was indeed physically demanding, and it was difficult to be a good chef if one's physical condition was not good enough.

However, it seems the system isn't omnipotent enough; I still need to participate in training to gradually improve my physical condition.

Twelve times? Does that mean one month of training for you is equivalent to a year of training for someone else? Well, it's better than nothing.

Zhou Yu enjoyed sports when he was in school, but after starting work, the pressures of life caused him to lose the desire to exercise.

However, a month is not a long time, so it's okay to persevere.

He opened his wish list again to check it.

Wishlist:

Cao Xuezhen: I want to drink the new daughter-in-law tea (Task reward: Complete postpartum meal recipes)

Zhou Weiqiang: None available.

[Wu Junlin: Yesterday, Mom took my yogurt oatmeal, but I still wanted to finish it. (Reward: A Western-style dessert recipe)]

Chen Yun: None available

Han Yuanyuan: None available.

He Xiaoli: I want to eat KFC for my birthday; I don't want to eat my dad's wonton noodles anymore. (Task Reward: Golden Egg Fried Rice Recipe)

[Wishlist tasks claimed/Completed: 0/0]

[Note: The wish list only displays and allows users to claim wishes from satisfied customers on the same day. Wish lists cannot be discarded after being claimed. There is no time limit for claiming wishes. Users can claim a maximum of 3 wishes even if they have not completed their tasks. Please choose your wishes carefully.]

Having already prepared himself mentally, Zhou Yu completely ignored Cao Xuezhen's wish and mission.

However, to his surprise, the more than eighty customers today did not result in the screen being filled with wish lists, which he had initially feared.

Not only were some previously existing wishes temporarily unavailable, but only a few people's wishes were displayed.

It seems that not everyone can trigger their wish list.

Judging from the contents of the list, only close friends and relatives who I know are certain to appear on my list.

But who are Han Yuanyuan, Chen Yun, and He Xiaoli? Zhou Yu was a little confused.

If we're talking about tonight's conversation, could it be about those two girls interacting with their nephew?

He Xiaoli also has the surname He, so could she be He Jiafu's daughter?

Uncle He's daughter is here tonight too?

Zhou Yu's head was throbbing from thinking so much that he stopped.

He was too tired today, so he decided to sleep it off and talk about it tomorrow.

Han Yuanyuan and Chen Yun brought dinner back for He Xiaoli.

"Lili, I brought you wonton noodles and some barbecue. See which ones you want to eat," Chen Yun said to He Xiaoli.

He Xiaoli looked at the wontons, somewhat speechless: "Don't you know my family sells wonton noodles?"

"Ah! I forgot! This is a newly opened restaurant, and it's especially delicious. I thought you said you wanted to try some new restaurants, so I wanted to buy it for you to try," Chen Yun said, somewhat flustered.

He Xiaoli said helplessly, "Okay, I'll give it a try."

But when He Xiaoli opened the lid, she exclaimed, "Wow, this smells even better than what my dad makes!" The dumpling wrappers were also thinner.

She picked up a mouthful of noodles, and found the noodles to be chewy and the egg flavor even stronger. Before she knew it, He Xiaoli had finished the whole bowl of noodles.

Han Yuanyuan was a little disappointed. She had actually thought that He Xiaoli's family owned a noodle shop, so she might dislike the wonton noodles.

It wasn't that Han Yuanyuan disliked He Xiaoli; she simply wanted to eat another bowl of noodles, but she didn't want to eat it on her own initiative.

After all, she herself was starting to gain weight, so if He Xiaoli didn't eat, then she would have a reason to "reluctantly" eat an extra bowl of noodles.

"Where did you buy this wonton noodle soup? It's better than my dad's!"

"The street vendor stalls near the school gate."
