Once we arrived at the food preparation room...

Xu Zhou immediately noticed the ingredients and price of the dish.

【Polar Star Beef Ribeye Thin Slices: Ribeye from Polar Star cattle raised by their own people at Polar Star Shelter. These cattle are free-range from a young age behind Polar Star Shelter…】

[Ingredient Price: 8/10g/12 rolls needed]

[Eggs: This dish uses medium-quality Snow Feather Chicken pasteurized eggs, with milky white shells and no fishy smell when eaten raw...]

[Ingredient Price: 8 per piece]

Other ingredients: rice, cabbage, tofu, scallions, onions, shiitake mushrooms...

Everything else on the ingredient list was very cheap, after all, each serving only used a small amount of vegetables, and the rice was also unremarkable.

Chinese cabbage, which is used in relatively large quantities, is very cheap.

[Ingredient Price: 112 yuan]

Suggested retail price: 144 yuan

"Twelve rolls, plus some vegetables, a soup, tofu, and shiitake mushrooms..."

"The soup can be prepared in advance in the system, the beef rolls can also be prepared in advance, and the vegetables can be placed on the rice in advance."

"That way, it will be easier to sell them tomorrow."

After thinking it over, Xu Zhou finalized the menu for tomorrow.

Replace the tea-soaked rice with this sukiyaki rice bowl.

The signature dishes are beef stew in Burgundy red wine and imitation roast meat dishes.

Specialty dishes include sukiyaki rice bowl, fried beef steak rice bowl, and grilled mackerel with cabbage puree.

Grilled mackerel is still mackerel, so for the time being, it can be rotated with ochazuke (rice with tea) every day.

After preparing the vegetables to sell tomorrow, Xu Zhou exited the system.

...

the next day.

Early in the morning.

Xu Zhou woke up and glanced at the group chat.

I received a lot of messages from loyal customers pleading for help.

[Jiang Mingzhu: Boss Xu! Our culinary department is really busy! Could you please open up some delivery services? Just one dish will do!]

[Liu Niannian: Yeah, boss! We haven't been eating or sleeping well these past few days...]

The culinary students have been pleading for days.

Xu Zhou looked at these messages.

After thinking about it, I agreed.

I added my new dish to the takeout menu.

"Let's start with a limited quantity of twenty servings."

"Of course, the store will leave thirty servings for customers who come to dine in."

When Xu Zhou uploaded the sukiyaki rice bowl to the store on Meituan, the store officially went online.

I looked into the prices.

When you see that Meituan's red envelopes seem to be priced by the Meituan platform itself, while the shipping costs are paid by the customer.

Can't help but be a little surprised.

It seems that the regulation of this food world is indeed much stricter than I imagined.

"Since there's no red envelope and the merchant doesn't need to cover the shipping costs, let's just go for the original price."

[Sukiyaki Rice Bowl Set Meal Successfully Available]

[Set meal: 20 servings]

Price: 144 yuan

After uploading.

Xu Zhou got up, washed up, and then worked on some comics.

When lunchtime was approaching, I grabbed some takeout boxes from home and headed towards the store.

...

the other side.

Industrial parks and remote internet companies.

It's almost noon.

The project team members also started discussing what to eat for lunch today.

Because Liu Feng is the project leader.

He glanced at the time, a look of helplessness on his face.

"I might be a bit rushed today, so I won't go out to eat."

"If you're going out to eat, try not to go too far."

The project is currently busy launching.

Their entire project team has been working non-stop for a long time.

Everyone is finding it a bit overwhelming.

...

Li Pengcheng got up and stretched his limbs, then stood by the window and looked out towards Xu Zhou's Izakaya.

A hint of disappointment flickered in his eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Looks like I won't have time to eat at my little cousin's shop today."

"I was originally thinking of getting a fried steak rice bowl."

Li Pengcheng is the deputy team leader, and he has a high salary.

I can make some money by trading stocks on my own.

therefore.

For Xu Zhou, a meal costing 185 yuan was not a heavy burden.

The other group members nearby started discussing where to have lunch.

Since there weren't many better options, most people had no choice but to go to the Daikichi Beef Don restaurant downstairs that they used to frequent.

...

When this store was mentioned, one of the team members couldn't help but complain.

"You guys ordered takeout yesterday, so you don't know. When I went to eat at this restaurant yesterday, the owner was acting strangely."

"I don't want to go."

"But there's not much around our shop...wait!"

Suddenly, a team member, while looking at his food delivery app on his phone, widened his eyes and gasped in surprise: "The boss's shop actually has a dish that can be delivered!"

Delivery?

Ichizuru Izakaya delivery?

The others didn't even look up.

"Did you see it wrong?"

"correct."

“We already searched before, there’s no delivery service available.”

Yesterday, when they first tried to order takeout, they searched for Xu Zhou Izakaya's takeout, but it was closed.

The team member holding the phone exclaimed excitedly, "It's true! And there's a new dish! Holy crap, only 20 servings available... I'm buying one!"

...

The moment I heard the word "limited edition".

People who were sitting down suddenly turned to look over.

They all crowded around.

They started grabbing the phone in a flurry of activity.

"Order a few more portions! Let me see them first!"

"I'll just take a look! Just one look!"

Wang Dawei, whose phone was stolen, was furious: "Don't you guys have your own phones? One per person! And it's a 144 yuan set meal, with soup included!"

One hundred and forty-four!

With soup!

This is Mr. Xu's shop!

Even if they eat downstairs, a decent working-class meal will cost forty.

If you eat at Boss Xu's place every day at noon, it will only cost you a little over 4,300 a month!

It’s not unacceptable!

Other things could be considered a waste!

But if you eat it yourself, can that be considered a waste?

Everyone frantically started ordering.

One copy.

Two portions.

Twenty servings were snapped up in an instant.

The group members who didn't manage to grab one yelled, "You guys are scum! How the hell were you so fast?!"

"Damn it, I didn't get one!"

"Are you all dogs?! Aren't you going downstairs for a big meal?"

There are thirty people in the group.

Twenty copies weren't even enough for their project team.

...

Xu Zhou finished his twenty orders very quickly.

Because of the proximity, it only took less than half an hour to get it.

"So fast!"

When Li Pengcheng received the call from the food delivery rider, he thought he had misheard.

He looked at the takeout in front of him, which wasn't even packaged in a fancy plastic bag, but was just a simple white plastic bag, as if it were a precious treasure.

I was afraid of spilling even a little bit.

Open it carefully.

Upon seeing the bright and fresh cabbage, tofu, and egg soup in front of me, I only took a light sniff, and the sweet aroma of the vegetables wafted over me.

I haven't had a chance to drink it yet.

Suddenly, someone nearby exclaimed, "My God! This is vegetarian broth!"

What is vegetarian broth?
