086 The Angry Boss Chen Fan
This is completely different from the world where Chen Fan was rushing to deliver takeout and climbing the 19th floor to death. It is a completely parallel time and space.
There are no familiar place names or people names here, and the development of technology has lagged behind by about 20 years, perhaps a little shorter.
The most obvious feature is that the Internet has not yet been popularized, and most mobile phones are just flip machines, which means it is very difficult for his store to become an internet celebrity store.
However, cultural thoughts are very tolerant and open, and Chen Fan’s experience in the past or two weeks confirms this everywhere.
For example, in the original world, Chen Fan had never seen a Tianchao school designed with neon sailor uniforms as school uniforms.
Moreover, even the senior high school party with the greatest pressure will end school on time at half past six.
Tutoring is strictly prohibited by law.
People's pace of life is relatively slow and the pressure of life is also low.
Most people’s living conditions can only be described as “lazy”.
After experiencing the changes in the past life, Chen Fan knew very well what laziness means.
And here is very similar to the world where Chen Fan lived in the late 1990s and early 21st century, opportunities everywhere and business opportunities everywhere.
It’s just that there is a group of trendsetters who lead the development of the times.
Fortunately, his rebirth was bound to a system that could help him change his fate, that is, the alchemy workshop system, which gave Chen Fan the confidence to work towards this goal.
So, how to leverage the advantages of this system so that you can make a lot of money has become the most important priority that Chen Fan urgently needs to solve.
He was really scared of poverty in his previous life.
As the name suggests, Alchemy Workshop is a system related to alchemy, which can also be called a tuning system.
This time the system is not a chip character who lives in Chen Fan's body, but the [Alchemy Workshop] house itself.
Otherwise, Chen Fan would not have opened a shop in this broken alley.
Simply put, first obtain the alchemy formula from the system, and then collect the raw materials that meet the conditions based on the formula to meet the requirements of the material, and then mix the products of the formula.
To achieve the blending, a large pot called the [Alchemy Cauldron] is used. This thing is hidden by Chen Fan in a room on the second floor and is usually locked.
It looked awesome, and Chen Fan was waiting for the system to distribute the recipe for turning stones into gold.
However, the initial gift recipe that Chen Fan received was [Super Snack Gift Pack], which also comes with a bunch of permanently-healthy snack craft ingredients.
This means that Chen Fan can only start with the boss of a convenience store.
This gift includes 100 snack recipes, which were outdated in the world where Chen Fan lived a long time ago, but it seems to have never appeared here, which is an important selling point.
One limitation is that these recipes need to be unlocked one by one, and the unlocking condition is to successfully blend the product from the previous recipe.
What’s a scam is that this thing is not yet produced. Currently, there are only ten chances of blending a day. In addition, blending is not 100% successful, so the output is also limited.
The level of the Alchemy Workshop will gradually increase with the experience accumulated through successful blending. Perhaps only by increasing the level can you obtain a better formula.
Of course, the Alchemy Workshop is not only able to combine ordinary snacks, but all recipes include an additional attribute bar called [Property Ring].
As long as you invest rare materials that satisfy the characteristic ring (not in the novice gift package), the combined items can be magically effective.
Like the Starry Sky Lollipop that was made for Xia Linmeng last time, it is the only product he has activated the characteristic ring.
Speaking of which, although he was not satisfied with the income of 500 yuan, he would lose more than he would lose more than he would just open his business.
Moreover, if Xia Linmeng is the promo for helping him with the convenience store for free, it will definitely be better than an old man like him who will go on the battle in person.
But this girl didn't know what was wrong in her mind, so she actually thought of paying off her debts in this way.
Do I look that safe?
However, it may also be just an escape strategy she came up with temporarily - it is now 9:30 on Saturday morning, and Chen Fan's alchemy workshop has been open for business long ago.
According to the prescribed working hours, Xia Linmeng was already half an hour late.
The more Chen Fan thought about it, the more he felt that he was a little stupid, and even believed what the children wrote.
Although she honestly left her guardian’s phone number, home address, and information about her class, it was not accurate to be true or false.
She is a minor. Is it suspected that I hired child labor if I force her to go to work?
Although she said it was okay, it might be just tying me...
If it is not native, there are too many things that are inconvenient.
Just as Chen Fan was struggling to make a phone call, Xia Linmeng, panting, appeared in front of the alchemy workshop.
"No, sorry, Brother Fan! I've overslept~"
She mischievously stuck out her tongue at Chen Fan, trying to get through the test.
Chen Fan just glanced at Xia Linmeng. He had developed a habit of delivering food in his previous life and attached great importance to the concept of time.
"You are half an hour late on the first day of work, and you are too brave."
"Anyway, I don't have any wages to deduct." Xia Linmeng was extremely thick-skinned.
"In my flexible working system, you will have to get off work half an hour late."
"No problem, no problem." Xia Linmeng readily agreed to the harsh boss Chen Fan's harsh request.
Xia Linmeng came with her schoolbag today. When she entered the store, she first put the schoolbag on the counter, and then began to stroll around the snacks and goods in the workshop.
"By the way, what did you say to your family... go to a friend's house to play?"
"This excuse cannot be used all the time," Xia Linmeng picked up a pack of potato chips, put it in his ear and shook it and listened to the sound, "I said it directly and went to work."
"..." Chen Fan paused, "Is it normal for you junior high school students to work?"
"Didn't I say that, I'm fine at home anyway... I'll get a note to the school next week and sign it with you. I may write a salary amount, and you can just fill it according to the general standards."
"In the end, you won't really ask me for a salary as the standard, right?" Chen Fan discovered a blind spot.
"Oh, I'm not that scheming brother, will I look like that shameless stinky girl?"
Xia Linmeng said as she picked up a bulk piece of Ruitu Gummy, peeled off the candy paper and put it into her mouth. She was very quick and Chen Fan had no time to stop it.
"That candy costs two yuan per piece!" Chen Fan said angrily.
"I'm doing a tasting experience, which should be one of the job responsibilities of the clerk, right?"
Xia Linmeng chewed Swiss fudge and made a vague enjoyment sound, "Well, um, um, um... This fruity aroma is very good! You can eat whatever snack you want, and it's so good to open a convenience store!"
Chen Fan picked up Xia Linmeng and pressed her to the counter to sit down honestly.
"In the future, I have to go through my approval. Let's go through the process - you also know that these products are very small, so how difficult it is for me to get a batch of goods."
You are here to work for me, not to eat for nothing...
Xia Linmeng shrugged helplessly, "But Brother Fan... If I don't know the taste, how should I sell our products to customers?"
"I will keep you a portion of your own taste, don't touch it yourself - you can look at the store first today, I still have something to do."
"Are you going out?" Xia Linmeng tilted her head.
"No, I'll go upstairs to do something." Chen Fan reminded Xia Linmeng, "Without my permission, you are not allowed to come to me. Just call me directly at the entrance of the corridor, I can hear it."
"Well, okay, Brother Fan. But you are quite mysterious... I'm afraid you're really an alchemist, right?" Xia Linmeng teased.
Seeing that she was also cooperative, Chen Fan said, "There is a small TV at the counter. You can turn on it and do your homework if you have nothing to do - you can also do your homework by yourself. I think you are bringing your schoolbag. You should still be under some academic pressure in the second year of junior high school, right?"
"Academic pressure...what is that?"
Xia Linmeng poured out her schoolbag, and it was filled with various comic books.
"But to be honest, you will be preached when reading comics at home, but no one will discipline me here, and no one will disturb me. After all, there are not many customers - it's comfortable, Brother Fan!" Xia Linmeng showed a very enjoyable expression.
