Looking at the table full of dishes, although the appearance was a little lacking, with all the pots and plates, the dishes were definitely delicious.
"Auspicious, let's go." Mo Tiankong also sat down and began to eat.
The preparation time for the New Year's Eve dinner was the longest in history, and the dishes were also the most. Now, his hard work was finally paying off.
Oh right, when he sat down, he remembered that he hadn't prepared the wine, so he directly bought a few boxes and piled them up beside the round table. He opened a few bottles and shared them with Auspicious.
Auspicious took a few bites of meat, then held the bottle with both hands and drank a mouthful. She was very happy.
Seeing this, Mo Tiankong also peeled a big prawn, dipped it in the sauce, and ate it. Sure enough, steamed prawns were the best, with the taste of seawater, and even the salt was saved.
If the taste wasn't enough, just like Mo Tiankong, they could also dip it in the sauce.
Of course, the tradition of the New Year's Eve dinner was not limited to this. Originally, they also needed to set off firecrackers, but it wasn't popular here, and no one had the time to invent firecrackers.
The main reason was that it was related to the different civilizations. After all, in Huaxia, they set off firecrackers to drive away the Nian beasts, but here, if the Nian beasts came, they might be killed as a sacrifice.
Therefore, after preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, they directly began to eat. If they really wanted to make a string of firecrackers, they could also buy it from the System, but the price was a little too high.
Forget it, a round wooden table could be sold for a thousand spirit stones. Hehe, forget it, after all, they didn't have enough food to put on the table, and firecrackers weren't necessary.
After thinking about it, they were already eating, so there was no need. Although they didn't have spirit stones, they shouldn't waste them like this.
"I hope that business will be prosperous in the new year, and martial arts will flourish." Mo Tiankong thought about whether or not he should say something like a New Year's Eve dinner, so he thought of this sentence.
It was almost the same as on Earth, but with the addition of martial arts flourishing, it could be considered as a New Year's wish.
His martial arts would only flourish if his business was good. The two were also related.
Of course, there was no one else in the yard. Mo Tiankong was talking to Auspicious, but Auspicious was not as cooperative. She gave Mo Tiankong a perfunctory glance and focused on eating the bone.
Mo Tiankong stood up and clinked his glass against Auspicious's. Then, he downed his glass.
After doing all this, Mo Tiankong did not delay any further and joined the meat eating army. He did not touch the few plates of vegetables, leaving them for later to clear his stomach.
With no outsiders around, Mo Tiankong's table manners were not as good. He had a rib in one hand and a beer in the other. With the addition of the Auspicious, he was unbridled. The scene was quite beautiful.
He ate with both hands. Fortunately, he had opened the beer for Auspicious, or else he would not be as fast as Auspicious. Fortunately, the meat today was full, and they were all filled in bowls.
Even the red braised pork was filled in big bowls. Now that it was not time to finish the meat, he could not free his hands.
The crab leg was as thick as an arm. After removing the shell, it was a large piece of crab meat. Dipping it in sauce and taking a bite was delicious.
As for the scallops, after removing the internal organs and other organs, they could be eaten. This was more troublesome, but fortunately, they were big, so there was a lot of meat.
The meal lasted until around 2 pm. After eating for a few hours, there were still no relatives or friends around, so they ate with Auspicious for a few hours.
Of course, the plates and bowls on the table were all cleaned up. There wasn't anything extra. They were all finished.
And it was not only that. When there were no more dishes left, they started drinking. Mo Tiankong had also finished the four boxes of beer he had bought. .
After that, he bought another two boxes. Auspicious also drank a lot this time, so the two of them drank about half each.
Although it was easy to digest with his current cultivation, drinking too much was still a little too much. After all, it was wine, and it was the wine produced by the System. It was not a lie, so the effect of the wine was still a little bit.
The dishes were basically finished, but Mo Tiankong still scooped a bowl of rice. He only ate a mouthful before leaving it behind. He also scooped a bowl for Ji Xiang, even though Ji Xiang didn't eat.
It was also a tradition of the New Year's Eve dinner. It meant that there would be more every year.
Although it was not a big deal in the Tianxuan Continent, it was something that could be done.
After eating, Mo Tiankong did not immediately start cleaning up. Instead, he sat lazily and rested. This task was naturally given to Auspicious. The pots and pans were all moved to the kitchen.
The New Year was over. There were supposed to be some activities after the meal, but there was no entertainment in the Tianxuan Continent. Where could one go to sing? Where could one go to dance?
Only the scenery was better, but Mo Tiankong had seen it for more than half a year, so he was used to it.
Fortunately, the sun was not bad today. Mo Tiankong got up and went upstairs to lie on the beach chair to bask in the sun.
In his mind, he was thinking about things. The matters of the shop last year were basically settled, and the things from the New Year's gift pack were almost ready to be used. Coincidentally, the shop was not open for business these two days, so he could renovate the shop.
Mo Kongkong didn't need to do missions to create spatial arrays. He had a store modification card that could perfectly solve these problems. Moreover, it wasn't just about the store's space. He could also modify other places that needed to be modified or expanded.
These two days, there were too many welfare activities, and it was also the end of the year. Mo Tiankong did not have time to think about it. Now that he was free, he had to think about it.
First of all, the size of the shop. Mo Tiankong wanted to fill the space in one go, but this was impossible. There were many restrictions. For example, if the number of employees was too big and there were not enough employees, it would be futile.
After the completion of the main mission, he did not know how many employees would be recruited. From the first time, there should not be too many, so the space could not be too big.
In fact, it was not necessary. After all, it could never meet the number of warriors. Therefore, there was no need to make a huge shop space. It would be too busy.
Moreover, all the warriors would not be received every day. This way, the number of warriors who came to the shop could be maintained. If there were any news of activities, more people would be notified.
Mo Tiankong thought that 20,000 square meters would be enough. It did not need to be too big. It was almost the size of three standard football fields on Earth. This space was actually very big.
20,000 square meters could accommodate a lot of warriors. It could accommodate tens of thousands of warriors. This number was enough. Moreover, the super-large Miracle Square outside could also be used.
With the square as a base, as long as there were enough employees, it was possible to receive hundreds of thousands of people in a day. To be honest, the shop did not need such a high number of customers.
20,000 square meters was enough. There was no need to increase it in the future. After thinking about it, Mo Tiankong decided to do it this way.
Next was the area. There were very few items in the shop. If the space was bigger, there would be even fewer items. Moreover, the space between the shelves would also need to be adjusted.
Now, the shelves in the shop were all connected together. The space between them was only one layer. This would definitely not work. The area where warriors would come to watch would also be much smaller. Only a small number of warriors would be able to stand in front of the shelves.
Mo Tiankong planned to change each item into a separate shelf. This way, there would be 12 shelves. The warriors could also buy separately.
There would be more space for everyone. The speed of selecting items would also be faster. Moreover, he did not plan to build against the wall.
Any position in the hall could be used. It could also be considered as forcibly making the hall look less empty. Instructor Hu had a group of warriors surrounding each shelf. It could also be considered as empty.
If there were many items to buy, they could also buy from the shelves with fewer people first. Then, they could buy other items. It would be more flexible.
Moreover, if warriors only wanted to buy one item, they could directly wait in front of the shelf for that item. This speed would still be faster. They would not have to wait for a long time. With a large space, the flow of people would also be faster.
The warriors queuing behind would also be able to enter the shop much faster. This kind of design was the best. Of course, it was also because the shop was small previously. Therefore, Mo Tiankong designed the shelves against the wall, leaving some space for the warriors to walk.
Now, if he wanted to redo it, there would be no problem. As for the small blackboard, Mo Tiankong also planned to restore it to a white wall or carve some other patterns.
The introduction of the items would be placed on the shelves. A small blackboard would be set up. It would be directly connected to the shelves. A small pole in the middle would be connected to the blackboard.
It was simple and convenient. The blackboard would also be a double-sided blackboard. The introduction of the items would be displayed on both sides. This way, there would not be any obstacles in the viewing angle.
Moreover, the number of counters could be set up. The items that Mo Tiankong harvested or did not use could also be placed for sale.
For example, the power of the Gatling Gun was limited. If it was not for the fact that he did not draw a second hot weapon, Mo Tiankong would have already sold it. Also, if the cigarettes were not used up by the time he reached the Martial Emperor Realm, he could also sell them. After all, they were useless to Martial Emperors.
They would just rot in his hands. If he sold them, he could still earn a sum of Spirit Stones. If he sold the cigarettes, they would definitely be worth a lot.
Also, some of the treasures and Earth-Grade weapons that Mo Tiankong harvested from the Wei Clan could also be placed for sale. Although the shop was slow to upgrade and update, it would still upgrade. Therefore, he needed to leave a part of the shelves for when the items were placed on the shelves.
The small blackboard on the shelves could also be directly written on during half-price activities or welfare activities. When the time came, he could see it at a glance. It was also very convenient.
Finally, he also needed to set up a few cashier counters. If he could remodel them now, he should set up a few more so that they would not be crowded together at the cashier counter.
Moreover, when there were more employees in the future, one cashier counter would definitely not be enough. Therefore, he needed to add a few more.
As for the backyard and the rooms upstairs, Mo Tiankong had not thought about it for the time being. The backyard and upstairs were only used by him. In fact, it did not need to be too big.
