Chapter 1 New arrivals
"Sixth Aunt, Third Grandfather, everyone is on stage, the noodles look like lotus paste..."
Outside Xile Street, Su Zifang slowly took off his headphones, hummed softly to his own song that he had been playing on repeat all day, and walked past the dilapidated archway.
[Congratulations to the host for arriving at Xile Street at the designated time. Please go to store No. 7 to continue the mission]
A reminder suddenly appeared in front of Su Zi's eyes.
"Hi-238?" Su Zifang turned around and looked around, moved his lips and murmured something that only he could hear clearly, ignoring the prompts in front of him.
"It feels like we have to walk a long way." After calculating the distance from here to shop No. 7, Su Zifang showed a bit of helplessness on his face.
…
Ten days ago, Su Zifang graduated from the Old Southern Culinary Institute and became a glorious junior chef.
At the job fair, he sternly rejected the offer of S County Snacks at the school gate, which had been open for more than ten years, and boarded the train to Jingling City alone: "Goodbye everyone, I'm going to Xile Street.
,keep in touch."
All the students in the class did not understand Su Zifang's behavior, that he would give up his position as the chef of a world-famous chain restaurant because of a long-dilapidated commercial street.
But after losing a strong competitor, no matter whether it was true or false, the whole class still sent out a row of blessings.
"Come on Zi Fang, you are the best!"
"Shuai Su found a job so quickly, congratulations!"
"Su'er, go back to school when you have time, we will miss you."
"Future super chef Su Zifang, start your journey of spiritual practice."
"..."
Su Zifang shed a cold sweat as he looked at the portrait of Xiao Fugui, the last person.
If his remarks were correct, the person who was so eloquent was none other than their Western food teacher Jia Xibei, a teacher who had praised Su Zifang's extraordinary talent countless times in private chats.
At first, Su Zifang really thought that he was very talented in cooking, so he trained for half an hour more every day.
It's just that after he saw the same words on his roommate's cell phone, he no longer wanted to believe Xiao Fugui's praise for his talent.
Ha, men? They are all big pig hooves!
After quickly browsing the group, there was no other useful information. Su Zifang silently put the phone back into his pocket, raised his eyes and looked to his right, a translucent panel emerged.
[Xile Street System-Personal Edition]
Host: Su Zifang
Specialization: Cooking (Elementary: 129/1000)
Main mission: Lead Xile Street to return to the world's top business district (0% progress)
1. Arrive at Xile Street (completed)
2. Go to the store at No. 7, Xile Street (in progress)
Shake your head and the panel disappears automatically.
Su Zifang was no stranger to the system. After all, he had read a lot of novels about the system. But after all, watching others use it and using it himself were two different things.
After several days of testing, he mastered the initial usage of the system and was able to wake up and hide the panel freely. As for other functions, the system did not display it and he did not know how to activate it, so he could only wait patiently.
There were more than two hundred shops, which seemed like a lot, but Su Zi couldn't let her legs go, so she reached the other end of Xile Street in a few minutes.
"Huh?" Looking at a shop next to him with a vague sign, Su Zifang stopped.
"His -5 on the left. Hi-9 on the right. Hi-7? This is the place, that's right!"
Facing the store he was about to take over, Su Zifang's first feeling was only desolation: "It feels like it can't even compare to the Kitchen God Shop, let alone Tai Feng Building. I don't have the medicine king's ability, either.
It’s difficult…”
After Su Zifang obtained the system, he wrote a lot of delicious food to the system. He was very envious of other people's protagonist lives, and even regretted giving up the high salary after the basic salary of 4,000 plus commissions in S County.
But after seeing the current situation of the store at No. 7 Xile Street, he couldn't help but transform into lemon essence!
I don’t blame Su Zi for being sour, but the appearance of No. 7 Xile Street is a bit miserable. The wooden door full of wormholes is ajar, and the wooden couplets at the door are completely black, revealing a sense of dilapidation and desolation from the inside out.
"Squeak." When Su Zi was thinking wildly, the door of store No. 7 rang.
A young man with a Supreme classic red box on his upper body and a waistline wearing the new season's five-wheeled five-bag bag and stepping on AJ pushed out the door and waved to Su Zifang in an exaggerated way: "Hi! Honey!"
"Ah hello."
After Su Zifang said hello, he frowned slightly. Although he had watched Chinese hip-hop variety shows, he was still not used to having such a hip-hop person around him.
"Are you Boss Su? Don't mind. I heard from Boss Lu that the store will be opening today, so I came here to deliver the things. Well, the things are already in there. We are all young people, so we shouldn't need to help with the cleaning today.
It’s too hot, so I’ll go back first. If you need help, just go to the youth hostel diagonally across the street to find my boss. Oh, by the way, my name is Mu Lu, Du Mu’s Mu, Director’s Lu, you can also call me Director.”
The young man finished a long string of words at a chatty speed, swallowed his saliva, and took a step forward to reveal the space behind him.
Su Zifang took a look and felt slightly reassured.
The inside of the shop is much better than the outside. The floor paved with blue bricks is in good condition. Several wooden tables and chairs are arranged neatly. The stools are upside down on the table. It doesn't look so unusable, but the lanterns hanging above the head are gathering dust.
Quite a few, which require a lot of effort to clean.
Except for the unexpected buckets, mops and other cleaning tools on the floor, the overall style is very suitable for Su Zifang.
Su Zifang looked back and was about to ask a few more questions, but found that Mu Lu had disappeared.
"Forget it, let's go and take a look first." Su Zifang is quite Buddhist: "You can ask me next time I meet you."
After carrying my luggage into the store, a new prompt suddenly popped up in front of me.
[Congratulations to the host for arriving at the No. 7 Xile Street store at the designated time]
Passed by in a flash.
"It's gone?" Su Zifang couldn't help but said as he looked at the disappearing panel.
A few wisps of dust fell on the beams, and the system was like a pool of stagnant water with no response.
Raise your eyes, shake your head, raise your eyes, shake your head...
Socrates said that if you repeat a simple action countless times, you will gain something. But it does not apply here to Su Zi. Repeating it until your neck is about to cramp, the system still only shows that the mission to No. 7 Xile Street has been completed. As for Su Zi,
The main line is still gray and looks unclaimable.
"Life, has it finally revealed its terrifying claws?" Su Zifang lowered his head and began to consider whether he should call the boss of County S again. After all, the basic salary of 4,000 plus commissions was quite tempting to him.

[Detection completed, meeting system activation conditions]
【System Activating】
[System activation completed]
[Side mission system starts]
[Task: Ask the host to build his own restaurant within seven days. Task reward: A signboard with the name of the restaurant.]
Just as the thought of giving up came up, a series of prompts popped up in front of Su Zi's eyes, giving the feeling of popping up menus like crazy on an old XP computer.
"Haha, it turns out it was a crash. I thought it was gone." Su Zifang complained on the surface, but inside he couldn't help but be ecstatic. "The system is not broken, that's great!"
Of course, there was one complaint he didn't say.
Chapter completed!
