The breakfast time passed quickly. Yuan Zhou sat in the restaurant alone and thought about how to complete the mission. He was quite active in leveling up.
Leveling up meant mastering new skills, and leveling up meant more money. Besides, he could also unlock the tables and chairs. The benefits were self-evident.
[How to become a landmark restaurant on the gourmet map.] Yuan Zhou took out his phone and typed a long string of words with a sound of "Pi Li Pa Pa".
As soon as the words were typed, a bunch of replies immediately popped up on the webpage. However, they were all irrelevant.
Only one of them seemed reliable.
[It depends on the customer flow and popularity.] Comrade Lei Hong.
"With my customer flow, it shouldn't be a problem. But the popularity isn't as much as the customer flow." Yuan Zhou thought carefully.
As the system didn't allow him to publicize the restaurant, the popularity was still limited to this area. It was even only very famous in the surrounding areas. It wouldn't be as popular as the World Foodie Hotel which was half an hour's drive away.
"The word-of-mouth effect is slow but firm." Yuan Zhou was lost in thought.
"Ling Ling Ling, Ling Ling Ling." While Yuan Zhou was thinking, the phone suddenly rang loudly.
"Sun Ming?" Yuan Zhou took the phone up and found it was his brother who had contacted him last night.
"What's the matter?" Yuan Zhou said straightforwardly.
"I think you are going to treat me to a meal again." As soon as the phone was connected, Sun Ming's excited voice passed through.
"Sorry, no." Yuan Zhou refused straightforwardly.
"You won't say that after hearing the news." Sun Ming said affirmatively.
"Really?" Yuan Zhou knew that Sun Ming didn't say anything because he wanted to keep him in suspense. However, Yuan Zhou didn't buy it.
"Aren't you curious?" Although Sun Ming knew that Yuan Zhou didn't like guessing, he still couldn't help teasing him.
"No." Yuan Zhou took the phone with one hand and tidied up the azure stone countertop with the other.
"You're not interesting at all. No wonder you don't have a girlfriend." Sun Ming couldn't help ridiculing.
"No, it's the girls nowadays who are too reserved. They are nervous in front of a perfect prince charming like me." Yuan Zhou refuted seriously.
"Hehe, Pi, do you know your nickname?" Sun Ming really needed to wake his brother up.
"Of course. Are you not feeling well today?" Yuan Zhou said in a euphemistic tone, despising Sun Ming's IQ.
Who would call someone by their nickname and even ask if they knew who it was?
"Forget it. It's better for you to think that way. Otherwise, you won't have the mood to run the restaurant," Sun Ming said with deep feelings.
"What's the matter?" Yuan Zhou had almost finished cleaning up the kitchen, but Sun Ming hadn't gotten to the point yet.
"Good news. I heard that you were awarded a prize." Only then did Sun Ming remember the business.
"Award? I have never participated in it. "Yuan Zhou frowned and said doubtfully.
"This is not an ordinary case. They don't allow others to participate in the competition. They evaluate the results themselves and then get their chief's signature before announcing the results." Sun Ming roughly explained.
However, Yuan Zhou still didn't get it.
"What do you mean?"
"The Most Anticipated Restaurant. It's said to be your restaurant this season." Speaking of that, Sun Ming's tone was full of pride.
It wasn't easy to win this award. But now it was his brother who had won it. Thinking of that, he felt excited.
"Where is it published?" Yuan Zhou asked curiously.
"Of course it's published on the website. Besides, they won't specially inform you." Sun Ming revealed a mysterious expression and said with a tone of "Come and ask me quickly".
"Um. How do you know?" Yuan Zhou was quite tactful sometimes. That gave Sun Ming a chance to show off.
"Of course, I heard about it through my powerful connections. It hasn't been evaluated yet, but it should be soon. There are many benefits to it." The complacency in Sun Ming's tone could be clearly felt through the phone.
"Can we make it a regional landmark restaurant, the one on the gourmet map?" Yuan Zhou asked immediately.
"Of course, no problem. This one is much more valuable than that one. It's just different in nature. We foodies all recognize it." Sun Ming felt that as a foodie with good taste, he should be proud.
"I want to treat you to a meal." Yuan Zhou suddenly said.
"I told you that you would treat me to a meal." Sun Ming became more complacent.
"Okay. That's all. I'm hanging up." Yuan Zhou had a feeling of abandoning the monk after ringing the bell.
"You!" Before Sun Ming finished his words, there came the busy tone of "Du Du Du" from the other end of the phone.
"As expected, it's 59 seconds. Damn the obsessive-compulsive disorder!!!" Three exclamation marks couldn't express Sun Ming's indignation.
The habit of Yuan Zhou was to hang up one second before one minute when he called others, namely 59 seconds. And when he answered the phone, he basically hung up 59 seconds after he finished talking about the matter. To put it nicely, he didn't want to give the mobile company more opportunities to make money.
However, the quick-witted Sun Ming had already seen through everything. It was just an excuse of the obsessive-compulsive disorder. Of course, it might really be to save money. After all, Yuan Zhou loved money very much. He was just a man of his word to his friends.
After putting down the phone, however, Yuan Zhou revealed a smile, "System, have I completed the mission now?"
The system displayed, "The gourmet map next month is the standard for completing the mission."
"You are so old-fashioned. Even if you are the system, you still have to be flexible." Yuan Zhou said earnestly.
The system displayed, "Host, you have completed the initial mission very well. A special reward is hereby issued."
"Huh? There's even a reward? So generous? "Yuan Zhou revealed a suspicious look and started to think deeply about the system's words.
Every time the system announced a reward on its own initiative, there was basically nothing good. Therefore, Yuan Zhou had been used to exerting his brain power to the maximum at that time and prepared to see through the system's conspiracy.
Of course, this time was no exception. Then, he soon found that the system was ridiculing Yuan Zhou for being old-fashioned. After all, many of the rules in the restaurant were set by him. Luckily, it was Yuan Zhou himself who stimulated the system. However, it was also a good thing if there was really a reward.
"Is there really a reward?" Yuan Zhou asked unbelievably.
The system displayed, "The royal jelly can be collected once every five days."
"Can I collect it today?" Yuan Zhou asked straightforwardly.
The system displayed, "Yes, you can."
Only then did Yuan Zhou reveal a smile. Finally, he could invite Huang Ling and her younger brother to have a meal.
As Yuan Zhou could fulfill his promise immediately, he was quite happy. Huang Ling was also very happy. Someone had informed her yesterday that the subsidy would be sent to her in person.
"Dong Dong Dong". Speak of the devil. When the door was knocked, Huang Ling hurriedly opened the door.
As expected, there was a young man in uniform outside the door. He was not anyone that Huang Ling and her younger brother had seen before. With a sunny face and a gentle smile, he asked politely, "Are you Miss Huang Ling?"
"Yes. Are you Officer Zhang?" Huang Ling also asked.
"Yes. This is your subsidy. Please sign here and receive it." Officer Zhang handed her a thick leather envelope.
"Thank you, thank you. Please come in and have a seat." Huang Ling received the envelope happily and then moved aside to let him in.
"No need. I'm here to perform official duties. Goodbye, Miss Huang Ling." After saying that smilingly, Officer Zhang turned around and left.
Once Officer Zhang walked away, Huang Li immediately went up and asked excitedly, "Sister, check how much is there."
"Okay. Let's check together." Huang Li took up the leather envelope and put it on the table.
After a sound of the envelope being opened, several thick stacks of money were revealed inside, all of which were brand new 100 RMB.
"So much?" Huang Ling was a little puzzled.
"It's not a lot. It's the life of my parents." Huang Li was originally a little excited. Thinking of the bad blood between him and his parents, he said ferociously.
"Yes. Now I can show you your legs. It will definitely be cured this time." Huang Ling said firmly.
The actual subsidy wasn't more than 100 thousand RMB. It was merely several tens of thousands. The 100 thousand RMB was naturally the reward for catching the wanted criminal by Boss Zhao. He sent the money together with the money in the name of the subsidy.
Men die for money and birds die for food. Nowadays, money was really the best thing. However, some fools were willing to pay more than 100 thousand RMB for a meal.
