Have you ever seen glowing food? That's why you draw a food-themed anime.

The fishy smell of the seafood is reduced to a trace, but this trace does not ruin the flavor. Instead, it creates a unique taste because it is wrapped in the white porridge with broth.

It's incredibly fresh!

You can almost taste the sweetness of the broth, a complex flavor from a mixture of several ingredients.

The unique flavor of stir-fried garlic chive juice, aged vinegar, a touch of ginger juice, and salted egg yolk is the finishing touch.

This flavor is brought to its fullest potential beneath the base of the plain congee; every bite is a complex yet perfectly blended delicacy.

...

Ruan Mian, who had originally been called over to help Xu Kai buy things, was also dumbfounded.

She practically swallowed all three oysters whole, but still felt it wasn't enough.

“It’s so delicious!”

"I've never thought seafood tasted this good when I put it in porridge before!"

Ruan Mian felt that she had completely forgotten what ladylike manners were, and went from delicately scooping food with a spoon to directly holding the bowl and putting it in her mouth.

Seeing her completely unrefined appearance, Ruan Mian belatedly realized and couldn't help but laugh at herself: "I even had the nerve to say that the customers' reactions in the comics were exaggerated..."

"This is not an exaggeration, it's practically a true depiction."

It turns out that when something tastes really good, you really can't control your body's physiological reactions.

That exquisite taste sensation sent shivers down her spine, and her hands trembled as she held the bowl.

Cai Cai's roommates were completely drunk. After finishing the whole bowl, they felt that their entire body and soul had been soothed by the bowl of porridge.

You can still feel the delicious taste flowing through your lips and teeth.

The sheer satisfaction of biting into the incredibly tender oyster meat left him speechless.

"It's so...so delicious."

"Boss, have another bowl!"

"Yes, boss, aren't you limiting orders to ten bowls a day? I'll take them all!"

Cai Cai's roommate is also quite wealthy.

As soon as he said that, Xu Kai, who had finished his porridge, rolled his eyes: "If I could afford to book it all, would I have brought you guys here?"

"If I could have it all paid for monthly, I would have already paid for it. You should thank the boss for the policy."

Despite his reluctance, Xu Kai couldn't help but ask, "Boss, is it really not possible to subscribe for a month? This bowl of porridge is so small, I'm not even full yet."

He licked his lips, his eyes filled with an unwavering longing for the oyster congee.

This desire is clearly reflected in the prayer value.

[Oyster Porridge Prayer Points +1 +1 +1 +1]

【仿制烤肉料理祈愿值+1+1+1+1+1…】

After finishing the imitation barbecue dish and oyster congee, the four people each contributed about ten wish points to each of the two dishes.

Upon hearing that such a small bowl of porridge could not be bought a second time, the four of them contributed several more points of prayer value.

...

All four of them finished their drinks completely.

Seeing their lingering enjoyment, Xu Zhou suddenly remembered that before he transmigrated, on Earth, congee hot pot was also very popular.

Cooking seafood in congee results in a much thicker, sweeter, and more flavorful broth compared to cooking it in other types of soup.

Moreover, the porridge made after cooking seafood is also extremely delicious, not to mention that all the ingredients are now top-tier fantasy ingredients provided by the system.

I imagine that this oyster congee also has a similar principle behind it.

However, it seems that many of these steps may have been optimized by the system.

"Mr. Xu, what time will you be opening the shop tomorrow?"

"Are you open tomorrow morning and at noon?"

Xu Kai and his group paid while looking on expectantly.

Xu Zhou shook his head: "It's not open in the morning or at noon. We'll see in the afternoon, maybe in the afternoon, maybe in the evening."

Chapter 10 No way, this dish really exists?

When Xu Kai and the other three heard this answer, although they were reluctant, they understood because of how delicious the porridge was.

"Boss, I have a suggestion..."

Xu Kai hesitated for a moment: "It's about store memberships."

"..."

Xu Zhou received 10,192 yuan on his phone. He glanced at it and felt satisfied.

I made money!

Even after deducting the cost of ingredients, the profit from four servings of imitation barbecue and four servings of oyster congee was only 2,032.

But at least it's money I earned myself after coming into this world.

Pity.

If we could raise the selling price a bit more, we should be able to sell even more.

The risk is just too great.

If a customer spends too much money, resulting in fewer or even negative prayer points on the other side, then it's game over.

Instead of taking a gamble, try to upgrade the recipe. When the ingredients in the recipe are upgraded to the top level and you don't need to spend any money, it will be a golden egg that generates money!

In a good mood, seeing Xu Kai's hesitant expression, I became more patient.

"What proposal?"

"Let me make this clear first, my members will not receive price discounts."

Xu Zhou pointed to the prices on the menu: "Even if you spend a lot of money to buy a VIP card, this price won't be discounted, but you can pay directly with the money in your card when you eat."

Just kidding, this discount isn't going to be any small.

The price of raw materials is what it is.

Xu Kai quickly waved his hand, "That's not what I meant. What I meant was, I'd like to get a VIP card from you, but I have only one request..."

"..."

"It's definitely not a discount!" Before Xu Zhou could speak, Xu Kai emphasized, "I'll definitely buy it at the original price."

"What are the requirements?" Xu Zhou asked, puzzled.

"Mr. Xu, please send me a WeChat message every time you're about to leave to open the shop."

Xu Kai said sincerely, "An hour or half an hour earlier is fine."

Xu Zhou: "..."

Xu Zhou thought Xu Kai had gone mad.

Is this all you ask for when you pay for a VIP card?

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xu Kai finished speaking, the eyes of Cai Cai's roommate who had brought her over suddenly lit up.

Looking at Xu Kai with excitement in his voice, he said, "Xu Kai, you're a fucking genius!"

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that!"

"Boss, I want to do it too!"

"How much is a VIP card? Ten thousand? One hundred thousand? Or several hundred thousand? I can accept any of those!"

Seeing their eager eyes, Xu Zhou hesitated for a moment: "Fifty... ten thousand?"

"Five hundred thousand, right?"

"I'll turn it on right now!"

Seeing Xu Zhou's stunned expression, Xu Kai glanced at his balance with many zeros and didn't feel the slightest bit heartache about spending 500,000.

Anyway, this 500,000 can be used for food, so let's just consider it as depositing it here in advance.

Xu Kai transferred the money without saying a word.

She even very considerately handed me a sheet of A4 paper: "Should I use A4 paper? Should I write my name myself, or..."

[500,000 yuan received via Alipay...]

[500,000 yuan received via Alipay...]

Upon hearing these two prompts...

Xu Zhou had no choice but to take out a pen and write their names on an A4 sheet of paper.

Then, they marked 500,000 after each of their names.

"All right."

"This paper... won't fall out, will it?"

This was the first time Cai Cai's roommate, Glasses, had ever seen such a perfunctory and casual way of getting a VIP card.

Just one A4 sheet of paper?

Is this reliable?

But when Li Yan thought of Xu Kai's trusting expression, she still succumbed to the delicious food at this restaurant.

"Okay, it's added."

Xu Zhou added Xu Kai and Li Yan on WeChat.

Before they left, the two men earnestly emphasized again and again that they should let them know in advance before they opened their shop the next day.

"Boss, don't forget."

"Okay, I remember."

Xu Zhou nodded. It's just a notification on WeChat, what's the big deal?

He also discovered that each dish would increase their wish value the first time they ate it each day.

Regular customers aren't entirely useless either.

...

Xu Zhou felt much better after having an extra million in his hands.

I have money in my pocket, so I'll close the shop for three days.

Thinking that I still had some money left over from buying groceries today, I spent the money to buy four portions of ingredients and made a few bowls of oyster congee to take home.

I had only just finished making the third serving when I saw what looked like guests arriving at the door.

The person who came in was a young woman. She wore black-rimmed glasses, was very thin, and her complexion was not very good.

She looks like she's overdoing dieting.

She glanced around the shop, then found a seat and sat down, feeling dizzy and lightheaded from hunger.

"Boss, do you have a menu?"

"Oh, yes."

Amid the girl's bewildered gaze, Xu Zhou pulled an A4 sheet of paper from his pocket: "I wrote it down on the paper. Our restaurant only serves two dishes."

The A4 paper was a bit wrinkled because it was folded.

The handwriting above is flamboyant and elegant.

"You can decide what you want to eat."

"..."

When Wang Lulu saw the handwritten menu on an A4 sheet of paper in Xu Zhou's hand, she already regretted it.

The restaurant doesn't look very big from the outside. Judging from the interior decor, I thought it was a place where the portions were small and suitable for light meals.
