Chapter 5 - ✎ᝰ┆Thief?

Luo Chaoxi went to open the store, lit the oil lamp in the house, exchanged a bottle of fruit oranges from the system, put it in a bamboo tube and poured it on Musa, and then asked Musa: "Sit down for a while, and I'll get you something."

"Can I still eat the skewers at night?" Musa's eyes were bright, "I haven't eaten enough yet, your spice is very delicious, and it blends with the meat. Very delicious! I never thought chicken could be so delicious! It's a pity, my father can't eat it anymore."

"I can give you some of these. You can take them home. The sauce will last nearly half a year if you keep them well." Luo Chaoxi said, "if you don't mind."

"Of course not!"Musa was overjoyed. "Lou, you're a good man person!"

"Then I'll give you a little more."

That oven alone is very expensive, not to mention other small things, bits and pieces add up to not a small sum of money.

Lo Tide went to the back kitchen to make a late-night snack for Musa, who took advantage of the time to remove the felt from the cart and reorganize the cart.

Musa has money and everything he prepares is good, but it doesn't mean anything to him now. Instead of staying in his hands and falling into ashes, he gives it to those in need.

Now Luo Chaoxi needs this, even if Luo Chaoxi doesn't want to do it, he can dig out these decorations from the oven and sell them to pay off the debt.

Or buy the house.

Musa didn't want to see the store close at all.

This is a treasure!

It would be a loss for the world if this store closes!

There are a lot of things on the cart, all the dirty ones are thrown away, and the useful ones are kept.

In fact, there is not much that can be used. There is only a little bit of disposable like bamboo sticks, spices are only left at the bottom. On the contrary, there are many long-term consumption sundries such as charcoal.

But soon Musa was in no mood to count what was left because all his thoughts were drawn to the scent from the backyard.

Luo Chaoxi was thinking about Musa in the front hall, so he bought some semi-finished products that were easy to handle in the system store

There are mainly western-style desserts such as egg tarts that can be made with simple processing, as well as fried chicken and hamburgers. In short, it is a simple but rich fried chicken set meal.

The ones sold in the system store are not expensive, but they are better because of their novel taste and quick preparation, so they can be made quickly.

Fried food always brings joy to others.

There are many kinds of small fried snacks on the tray on the side of Luo Chaoxi, from ordinary old Beijing chicken rolls to tender beef, to French fries, brushed cheese sticks, as well as mango mousse, popped cheese steak, rattan Pepper chicken nuggets and taro pie and red bean pie, and the rest of the large chicken thighs and wings are indispensable.

Of course, there is the most important thing, the Happy Water with Ice and Fertilizer.

(T/N: "Happy water" is a kind of mixed liquid containing methamphetamine, amphetamine, and ketamine.)

It's already late at night, Kangzhou City has a lot of nightlife, and there are some late-night snacks outside, but they are remote. The nearest late-night snack stand is around the corner, the smell hardly wafts in.

It was on such a quiet and peaceful night that a sweet smell floated out of nowhere.

People can't help but smell the aroma of food when their stomach is empty, not to mention the sweet smell that they have never smelled before.

Luo Chaoxi and Musa could even hear doubts and inquiries from neighbors who didn't know the house and scolding.

This is the joy of the Big Evening Newspaper.

Western-style desserts are warmer than delicate and mild Chinese-style desserts. The taste of sweet honey can easily arouse people's appetite. All kinds of fried chicken and snacks are fried, and it took nearly 700,000 yuan to exchange and play. Five hundred texts, after finishing, they were all placed in the tray, and they were piled up like a hill and carried out by Luo Tide.

There are also buckets of Orleans sauce in the back kitchen, all of which Musa intends to bring back.

Musa's eyes sparkled, he subconsciously took a sip of saliva, his eyes fixed on the tray in Luo Tide's hand, and he couldn't help but admire: "God, Luo, you can always come up with such delicious food! I really can't understand how you are living in poverty."

As long as Luo Chaoxi sells the skewers tonight and these unseen but delicious foods that are brought out now, they will definitely be able to sell a lot of money, completely. You can save enough money to exchange for a store as quickly as possible, instead of opening a store in this remote place where few people come except regular customers.

"Try it, the time is tight, and it's not too much trouble." Luo Chaoxi put the thing in front of Musa, "Try it, if it tastes good, I will want to make this later."

"It will definitely sell well! "Musa said before eating, "It's like your meat skewers, or you can rent another store to make these.

These are very novel tastes, have never tasted them before, but if you try hard They will surely be liked by everyone.

These things are wrapped in cream-white oil paper. This thing does not need Luo Chaoxi at all. Musa has already dismantled a red bean pie without a teacher.

Musa's long and narrow eyes were wide open at the moment he ate the bean paste filling, like a cat, his tail would rise with joy, he finished eating the red bean pie with a satisfied face, and then picked up another one. An identical taro pie.

Another, delicate and soft sweet taro, once again captured Musa's heart.

He even forgot to share his money with Luo Chaoxi, the whole person was immersed in the happiness of food, and flowers appeared all over his body.

"Luo, I can't bear to leave." Musa devoured the two pies on the table, then picked up the bamboo tube and took a sip on the thing called "Coke".

The cold liquid that leaps on the tip of the tongue turns into the mouth and is swallowed by Musa.

The first sip was strange, but the tiredness of the night seemed to be smoothed down by the stimulating drink, eager to collapse into bed, lolling about it.

Musa didn't even know it. This was the first time he was surprised.

Every time he eats something that Luo Chaoxi brings out, he will be surprised. Now he is like opening a blind box, looking forward to what is in the next paper bag.

Luo Chaoxi discovered that Musa's taste is sweet and spicy, and desserts prefer sweet ones. Although salty ones are also eaten, they are obviously not keen on sweetness. The most popular ones for Musa are actually egg tarts and two pies, followed by Meat, and lastly, burgers. Not many people have eaten it, and Luo Chaoxi doesn't know what the taste of people in ancient times is, so he plans to do research at a special price.

"I really don't want to go." Musa repeated what he had said before after taking the last bite of his burger, "I feel like I'll never be able to eat your food again when I come back to my country. Hope is lost in life, can you pack this away?"

"Yes, yes, but it'll break if you take it back."

"Perhaps...is your recipe for sale?" Musa asked.

"Your sauce, and the recipe for these snacks."

Luo Chaoxi was taken aback.

"I can give you the recipe for Orleans sauce directly." Luo Chaoxi's answer was beyond Musa's expectations, "You helped me a lot."

"Luo, you can't say that." Musa was very serious, "It's a deal, not a friendship between friends. That's what you're supposed to say... I gave you these ovens because I don't need them anymore. To me, it's a waste of space, but your recipe for this Orleans sauce is different, it can make you a lot of money, it can get you out of poverty, get out of this place, buy a house in the western city, and pass a comfortable life."

Although Musa may seem silly and sweet, he's the prince of a country after all, and he is all too familiar with these twists and turns.

"The value of your sauce recipe is far more than this oven, please seriously consider my request." Musa said, took out the purse, and placed it between Luo Chaoxi and himself, "As for tonight, let's first divide the money."

This is not a trivial matter, so Musa gave Luo Chaoxi enough time to think.

But before that, settle the score!

The sauce and 100 skewers of chicken wings brought by Luo Chaoxi are 28 cents, and those that Musa eats add up to 22,700 cents. These two belong to Luo Chaoxi himself, and the meat brought by Musa. The strings add up to a total of 632 strings, a string of 30 cents, and a total of 182,960 coins, the money is divided equally between the two, so Luo Chaoxi and Musa got 91,430 coins respectively.

In total, Luo Chaoxi took twelve taels and two hundred and twenty-four, and Musa took ninety-two, four hundred and eighty.

This is just the basics.

Because most of the meat skewers were packaged by people from the Kansai caravan, the ingredients were not enough, and the rest of the ingredients were bought by the guests themselves. Luo Chaoxi and Musa only charged three points. The second is the seasoning fee and the manual fee.

There are 966 skewers of lamb and 233 skewers of chicken wings. The former is 19 taels and 300 bucks, and chicken wings are 22 taels and 170 bucks, adding up to a total of over 21 taels.

Because the seasoning is the most important thing, Musa only flips the skewers on the side. At Musa's strong request, the income of Luo Chaoxi took two-thirds of the big head, so Luo Chaoxi can be divided into thirteen taels, and Musa can be divided into seven taels.

(T/N: don't calculate I don't know how the author got the results, I'm also not a professional translator so don't expect this to turn out good, it's hard to translate a sentence that has numbers)

In total, Luo Chaoxi struggled for a day tonight, excluding the cost of sauce and chicken wings, and he earned a total of twenty-five taels and six hundred and forty-four.

25 taels!

Luo Chaoxi made 77 taels by wholesale of the instant noodles during the day.

Ordinary pier workers who carry large bags can only earn 100 cents a day. The money that Luo Chaoxi makes in one night is enough for a prime-age labor force to carry sacks at the pier for several years, and enough for a family of three to live comfortably for more than ten years.

I have to say that doing business is very profitable, but this is relatively speaking.

Many people plan to lose all their money in business, and Luo Chaoxi has to rely on it to make money in such a short period of time. It takes years for ordinary people to make money.

But compared to earning 25 taels of hard work for so long, it was easier to earn 70 taels in wholesale.

It's a pity that there are too few opportunities for the Kansai caravan to deliver to the door by themselves, and no one knows when the next person who may enter so many will come.

At least Luo Chaoxi doesn't have to worry that he has no liquidity now, and he won't be able to open normally tomorrow.

After all, the Kansai caravan was an exception to this.

"I've worked here for so long, and it's the first time I've made so much money!" Musa, who got nearly sixteen taels, was also very excited. "You're amazing! You'll be able to earn all the rent back in just a few days. !"

Luo Chaoxi told Musa about the house, so Musa was so excited.

But Luo Chaoxi is not so sure. After all, he has never met Li Wenzhou, so he doesn't know what kind of person Li Wenzhou is. Judging from his current performance, he should be a reasonable son, otherwise he won't wait until he is kicked out. I want to buy this shop.

The two divided the money, and Musa calculated the time before putting away the heavy bag of copper plates. "I'll come back tomorrow to help you. There should be a lot of people coming tomorrow."

"Not in the morning, I have something to do in the morning, and you're leaving?"

"It's okay to delay for a day or two." Musa waved his hand, "And I'm still waiting for your reply, I really want to buy your sauce recipe, you can think about it, I'll come here in 2 days, of course, if you don't want to sell it, don't feel pressured. "

Musa was very gracious. Before leaving, Musa easily lifted the buckets of sauce that added up to 40 pounds and left the door open.

After confirming that there was no one else around, Luo Chaoxi asked the system to quickly enter the income of the night, and then purchased the instant noodles requested by the Kansai team leader from the system store, changed the packaging, and placed them neatly on the counter on the first floor.

More than a thousand packages of goods were neatly piled together to eat, occupying nearly half of the hall on the first floor, and even the shelves were full.

Tomorrow afternoon, Kansai will come back to collect these goods, so they should be stacked in a corner that does not take up space, and the main walking position will be vacant.

Luo Chaoxi finished counting the instant noodles, and then he sat on the stool and let out a long breath. The exhaustion of the whole day came up, and he lay on the table and didn't want to move.

From sudden death to crossing, to selling instant noodles and then selling skewers.

This day is much busier than when he used to be a social animal, but it is much more interesting than working for the boss before.

But it was also at this time that Luo Chaoxi felt a trace of loneliness.

After all, this is a completely different world, with only himself and the system... This is different.

The system noticed Luo Chaoxi's mood swings and finally said: [Host, the system recommends that you take a rest, you still have 8,985,557 experience points from Level 2. Your body is the capital of revolution, and you also need to spend money to treat illness. ]

Luo Chaoxi, who was still a little empty just now, was immediately stimulated.

Originally, he thought that he was quite powerful, but he really wanted to cry when he heard that he had just earned more than a hundred taels from exhaustion.

Damn it, the system is really a devil!

"Are you the devil?! Don't say unpleasant words at this time!"

[I'm just stating the facts.]

"Forget it." Luo Chaoxi's rare thoughts were disturbed, and he suddenly lost the meaning of sadness. He pushed the cart to the small courtyard at the back and checked that the doors and windows were all locked before going upstairs. ready to sleep.

Luo Chaoxi's bedroom faces south, which is the only room in this small building that does not leak. The furnishings are very simple. There is a bed and a set of tables and chairs. There is a broken curtain on the window to block the light, and against the wall, there is a very large wardrobe, the bottom layer is filled with futons, and on the top are several sets of very simple but fortunately no patches.

These clothes are much simpler than the novice suits rewarded by the system. The novice suits rewarded by the system are new gloves in online games. Although they are the most simple, they are much more gorgeous than those worn by ordinary people, and the fabric is quite smooth. You can see the dark pattern of moiré in dim light.

If there is any important occasion in the future, it can be worn.

Luo Chaoxi is incapable of accepting hard wooden beds and quilts that already smell musty. When he has money to meet his most basic living conditions, Luo Chaoxi will not force himself.

He exchanged a four-piece set and a spring mattress from the system, and let the system set an alarm for himself before going to bed, and then he fell asleep.

[Good night, host, see you tomorrow.]While Luo Chaoxi was half asleep, he heard the system say goodnight to him in a trance.

The system said good night, but it still diligently protected this small building, always paying attention to abnormalities.

It was not until about three in the morning that a man appeared outside the quiet little building.

This man sneakily dressed in black clothes came from the street, while walking to see if there would be anyone around him, he went around to the backyard of  Luo Chaoxi's store, stepped on the crooked neck tree beside the yard, and rode on the wall.

[Host, wake up. Someone wants to come in, not an ordinary person. ] Luo Chaoxi was still in a deep sleep but was suddenly awakened by the system. He woke up in a daze, looked at the moldy ceiling, and suddenly reacted to what the system said.

The level of the grocery store is too low, the back door is just an ordinary wooden door, and the protection formation is the lowest level, this person did not attack, so the protection formation did not make an attack assessment, and did not remind Luo Chaoxi.

It was discovered by the system that was always paying attention, and this was the reason why Luo Chaoxi was told.

Luo Chaoxi was startled, he quickly turned over, opened the window, and looked behind, and he saw a figure in black, sneaking down from the wall, and landing on the ground, very purposefully. Walking towards the front yard with the shadow on the wall.

Nearby yards are almost all of the same structure. The only difference is the decoration of the house. No matter how it is decorated, the kitchen must be on the first floor near the corner.

After all, if you have a restaurant, you must put the kitchen in a location that will not affect the front and is convenient for food delivery.

The moment the thief touched the door, Lo Tide heard the system prompt.

[Your store has been visited by thieves. ]

[This response is too slow.] Luo Chaoxi was a little speechless when he heard the voice that sounded late.

[The protective array in the store is relatively low-level, so there are not so many functions. ]

[Can you upgrade now?]

[Make up the difference. ]

[Make up!] Luo Chaoxi is full of resentment.

However, after this battle, Lou Chaoxi will not be stingy with himself in terms of safety.

What if it wasn't a thief who came in, but a burglar?

The protection system was upgraded, but Luo Chaoxi felt a slight difference. He felt that he could control every corner of this small courtyard, and he could even see every place like a monitor, and even control the items in the store from a distance.

Is this the effect of the upgraded Protection Formation?

He could even see what was going on in the kitchen on the first floor from the second floor.

The thief looked in the kitchen for something, and finally found a small portion of the marinade he had left in the cupboard.

The thief let out a curse at this.

"Why is there so little left? How can I tell you this?"

This is for his own Orleans marinade? No way, how long has it been before someone came to steal it?

[Aren't you going to do it? ] The system watched for a long time and then asked.

"No, this kind of thing has to be solved by the police." Luo Chaoxi said.
