Chapter 99: Make money, make money
The night falls, the stars are dotted, a remote corner of the Moonstone City port.
At this moment, this usually sparsely populated corner was gathering with many prominent figures in Moonstone City.
Street open-air restaurants are surrounded by soft lights and warm smoke from fireworks.
In the small restaurant set up on the street, the fire is blazing, the spatulas are flying, and the aroma of food is coming to your nostrils, including the deliciousness of seafood, the mellowness of barbecue, and the freshness of vegetables.
In addition, the water elves kept carrying dishes and running back and forth between multiple tables.
"Water Fairy, hurry up and serve the food."
"If I can have this meal, my hard work this month has not been in vain."
"Water Fairy, bring me a bottle of the strongest whiskey!"
"Boss, here's another one, abalone in sauce!"
"Another moonshine fish."
The diners sat around the table and enjoyed this rare delicious feast.
[You cook garlic moonfish today and get 85 spiritual points. 】
"Why is it like this? Why?"
Chen Qi asked sincerely while waiting for Peilu.
His original idea was to cook, sell vegetables, and learn about his career as a chef.
But he never expected that it would become so popular!
Three days after opening, he was overwhelmed.
Therefore, he had to use pre-customization.
But despite this, with only one chef, it was still extremely busy.
Therefore, Chen Qi trained the deep sea elves and asked No. 2 and No. 3, who have higher IQs, to cook together.
Number two is responsible for chopping vegetables, and number three is responsible for spooning.
Although this will reduce the quality of the meal, it can greatly improve the efficiency of the meal.
Chenqi originally thought that as the quality deteriorated, there would be fewer customers.
However, the restaurant has become even more popular.
Many people eat just to come and tease the water elves.
There were even scalpers snapping up spots in his restaurants.
Chen Qi's restaurant was even featured in the Witch Times. In the newspaper, it was called the Water Elf Restaurant.
"Why on earth is it so popular?"
Chen Qi touched his head and sighed again.
The celebrity effect is so scary!
Moreover, this is without him deliberately raising the price.
Excluding costs, in the past twenty days, by operating for about four hours a night, he earned more than half a million shellfish and 1,600 spiritual points.
Chen Qi picked up the bill and did the math.
The income from running the restaurant, plus selling ghost fish and black pearls, adds up to about 2.5 million.
The large amount of useless equipment obtained by selling the Black Rabbit was only sold for three million shell coins because there were no formal channels.
Plus the 1.5 million in cash on board the Black Rabbit.
The cash in his hand once reached more than 7 million shell coins.
However, the consumption of the extraordinary path is a huge sum of money.
He went to the black market and bought only a good advanced meditation skill card and a basic energy-based defense skill card. In an instant, three million shell coins disappeared.
Chen Qi now only has a deposit of four million shell coins.
For an ordinary person, this is enough to get married and buy a house.
But on the road to transcendence, this money can only make a small splash.
Fortunately, once a marine animal farm is successfully established, it can provide sustainable income.
Chen Qi counted tonight's accounts.
He could probably make one hundred thousand shellfish from his stall tonight.
Although the restaurant is very popular, the unit price of food made with ordinary ingredients is too low.
Manpower is limited, and after several days of busy work, the Deep Water Elf and he have reached their limit.
And, moonshine season is over.
The most expensive moonfish sold is only over 10,000 shellfish.
If you want to really make a lot of money as a chef, the best way is to make legendary and extraordinary food.
For example, honey roasted dragon meat, bone dragon pork ribs soup, etc.
Chen Qi stood outside the boathouse and shook his head. There were still many things he wanted in the equipment market that he had not yet bought.
Seven million shellfish is still far away from the goal of buying a big ship.
"Sister Peilu, this is the restaurant you mentioned. It feels so shabby, but the water elves here are very cute. I don't know if the boss will sell it."
"It doesn't seem to be for sale. Tell me, what do you want to eat? I'll treat you."
At this time, two women walked onto the cabin boat.
Finally here... Chen Qi crossed his arms and said, "Pelu, good evening, what do you want to eat?"
I wonder if Peilu got any information about the cracks in the lamp phase today.
Peilu said with confidence:
"I'll give you the fattest moonlight fish. Today, I want to treat my junior Lilith to dinner."
Junior? Chen Qi looked towards Pei Lu.
Next to Peilu, stood a 1.7-meter-tall young woman, wearing round-rimmed black-rimmed glasses, slightly curly long black hair, and a pretty good figure. She was also wearing a black retro ruffled dress.
Lilith, this seems like the pen name of the editor-in-chief of Witch Times... Chen Qi thought about it.
Recently, Witch Times reported on his Aqua Elf restaurant, so he was very impressed.
Lilith said hello, looking at the water elf with obsessed eyes and said:
"Hello, Mr. Chef, I like your water elf very much."
After Chen Qi exchanged a few words, he served a grilled spicy moonfish.
Pelu and Lilith sat at the dinner table.
Chen Qi asked: "Pelu, did you really get the information about the lighting profession card?"
Peilu said mysteriously: "Yes, because this matter involves confidentiality, he will come to you after you close the stall and there are fewer people."
he? Confidentiality involved? Chen Qi looked confused.
As the Riddler killer, Pelu is rare and does not directly tell the other party's name and identity.
A second-level professional card with a light appearance actually involves secrets.
Chen Qi had a vague premonition.
Then, Peilu secretly winked at Chen Qi.
Chen Qi took a breath of cold air.
What she means is: Get her guest drunk for me!
Pelu sat at the dining table and said to Lilith:
"Lilith, don't be polite, just go ahead and eat, Moonlight Fish, this is the boss's specialty!"
Lilith tasted it carefully and showed a slightly doubtful look in her eyes.
tasty!
Peilu actually didn't cheat her!
Then, Peilu smiled and picked up five bottles of highly concentrated wheat wine with a confident expression:
"Cheers! Lilith, celebrate your newspaper sales reaching a new high!"
"Thank you, Sister Peilu. The reason why my newspaper has reached a new high is because of the popularity of Flower Witch.
After all, the name of Witch Times is to commemorate the legendary witches.
Of course, this is without the guidance of Sister Peilu. "
"This has nothing to do with me, let's have a drink! By the way, how high are the sales of your Witch Times recently?"
The sales volume of newspapers determines the success or failure of competition between them.
Lilith said softly: "Not many. This kind of newspaper with pictures of cute girls and ladies has not sold many copies."
A faint smell of gunpowder filled his cabin.
Chen Qi smacked his lips.
Are these two people having a workplace drinking game?
In gaming forums, the two are rivals.
As the editor-in-chief of Witch Times, Lilith and Pelu are two extremes.
Compared to Pelu who follows big news, Lilith is better at romance and funny news.
Moreover, she uses exquisite painting techniques to perform some unique artistic processing on the news characters she writes.
Especially some special parts.
Moreover, according to surveys by some players.
Lilith seems to be the only ordinary person in the White Dove newspaper office.
Therefore, on game forums, her nicknames are ‘book editor’ and ‘ordinary person’.
In White Pigeon Newspaper, every year, the editor-in-chief with the highest sales volume will be given an unimaginable legendary reward!
Therefore, the current sales war between the two can be said to be fierce.
Now, because Pelu failed to catch the Flower Witch, the sales of White Dove Times plummeted.
Lilith, on the other hand, reported interesting things about the Kingdom of Golden Flowers and Birds, and her sales hit a new high.
Chen Qi never expected this.
His small restaurant was actually able to gather two of the most influential people in the press.
Lilith smiled slightly:
"Sister Pelu, cheers!"
"cheers!"
"More liquor, Qi!"
After three rounds of drinking.
Peilu glanced at Chenqi again.
Lilith's drinking capacity is actually on par with hers.
If you want to get Lilith drunk, this little wine is not enough!
“Hmph.”
Two minutes later.
Pelu fell down with a thud, drunk and unconscious.
"Miscellaneous fish——"
Lilith smiled grimly.
Then, she raised her head, blushed, and said to Chen Qi: "Boss, do you sell your water elves?"
Chen Qi had an ominous premonition and asked, "What do you want the water elf for?"
"Great use."
Lilith answered honestly: "According to my observation, many nobles are learning the gameplay of the Golden Flower and Bird Kingdom, and they need water elves to perform some special gameplay.
Should you be able to understand the beauty of water elves?
They will give your water elf a rather generous sum of money. "
"The beauty of water elves? How to play????"
What are you talking about?
Chen Qi instantly frowned like a subway grandpa.
What the hell?
He underestimated how perverted the Witch Kaito was.
The water elf is being targeted by the rich woman.
As a competent master, Chen Qi has no interest in letting the deep sea elves experience the forbearance and wealth.
After all, they are so good.
"No."
Chen Qi rejected Lilith's request.
"Really, it's a pity?"
Lilith drank another bottle of wheat wine and fell drunk.
These two people were so mean. Chen Qi cleared the dining table.
At this moment, the night was deep, the dock became extremely quiet, and there were even gusts of cold wind blowing.
"Wakuwaku!"
Suddenly, a deep sea elf seemed to have encountered some kind of monster and jumped into his arms.
"???"
"Mr. Chef, could you come out and talk to me?"
A steady older male voice.
The guest that Pelu was talking about? Chen Qi turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound.
This is an elderly white-haired man, wearing a crisp blue navy uniform, with long white hair tied neatly behind his head.
He has a high forehead, a straight nose, and a face full of wrinkles.
Chen Qi's eyes couldn't help but fall on the armband on the other person's shoulder.
Armband with five blue stars.
Chen Qi was secretly surprised.
The person Pelu found was an admiral of the navy?
Happy May Day! ! Σ(⊙▽⊙“a
