Chapter 318 Secret Mission
Ma Lu then checked the purchase price with Lao Hei.
The final purchase price for 3-star ingredients was 75 star coins per kilogram, 4-star ingredients were 200 star coins, and 5-star ingredients were 525 star coins.
In addition, after making bacon, Lao Hei will pay an extra 125 star coins for every kilogram of 3-star ingredients, 180 star coins for 4-star ingredients, and 290 star coins for 5-star ingredients.
Ham takes longer to make, the process is more complicated, and the price is higher. It costs 80 more star coins per kilogram than bacon.
Malu did the math. In this way, if he mainly sells ham, the price of 3-star ham can reach 280 star coins/kilo, 4-star 460 star coins/kilo, and 5-star ham 895 star coins/kilo.
As for the ingredients below 3 stars, because the profit margin is too low, Lao Hei does not intend to accept the space taken up by the smuggling ship, and the ingredients above 5 stars, Ma Lu does not intend to sell them.
After all, when it comes to making money, it is definitely more profitable to make dishes. People like Chen Zhengyi and others come to eat. They have to eat hundreds, even thousands of star coins, and the ingredients used are only a few. A few kilograms.
Even when Malu suffered the most loss, he held a BBQ for Mickey and others. Those big-eating cartoon villains ate two to three thousand kilograms of his ingredients in one go, most of which were low-star. A full 8,000 star coins were paid.
Of course, Lao Hei did not deliberately blackmail Malu. Even if he deliberately exaggerated, the risk of smuggling is indeed there, and this is a partnership business. He has done his best within his authority. The highest bid was made.
It's just that this is the earth after all, outside the free shipping area of the major leagues, so the smugglers are destined to be only an additional channel for processing excess ingredients and making extra money. Malu's business focus must still be on restaurants.
However, this gave him more motivation to continue upgrading the desktop farm and gathering bags.
Ma Lu then sent 2,000 kilograms of bacon to the place designated by Lao Hei, worth about 1,000 star coins. This also freed up more space for the ham, and he received it from Lao Hei almost two days later. The transfer totaled 3065 star coins.
It also includes the reward for helping Lao Hei get a new body, so the total number of star coins on Malu's hand came to 14,253.
It seems like a lot, but there is still a long way to go to pay off the debt, and it is not even enough for him to buy new equipment now.
The owner of Maluto Hardware Store helped him find high-dimensional creations that could unlock equipment. The cheapest one cost 20,000 star coins. According to the old rules, you still have to pay a 70% deposit first, and the remaining 30% can wait for the smuggling ship next week. Come over and settle.
After paying the deposit, Ma Lu only had 188 star coins left. He still had to earn another 6,000 star coins in the next 6 days, but it was not a big problem.
After receiving several special guests before and receiving favorable comments, the reputation of the Universe Infinite Canteen has gradually spread among visitors from other dimensions.
Especially Love Brain, in order to find true love, is keen to expand her friend list. Her friend list includes not only ordinary people, but also guys with special status.
Love Brain manages her social account seriously, and has been posting wildly about the delicacies from the Infinite Canteen in the past few days, even though she is a skeleton girl and doesn’t eat.
But according to the research and statistics of Love Brain, short videos and pictures related to food have a high rate of comments and likes, so she will naturally not miss them.
In addition, the local promotion team composed of Valkina people headed by Gigina was also active in the city, allowing Malu to receive 4 reservations at once, including a large ticket worth 7,000 star coins. Single, comparable to Chinese New Year.
But before that, Malu still went to Temple City. This time he deliberately arrived a day late so that he could catch up with the 230th anniversary of the founding of the city.
Ma Lu himself is not very interested in celebrations. Although he can eat and drink for free, and there are entertainment programs to watch, with the Church of Order’s usual cold and abstinent style, their programs are most likely not as good as those on Douyin. The video is interesting.
In contrast, Malu is more concerned about today's extra program, which is why he rushed here. As an outsider, he can not care about the victory or defeat of the Church of Order and the Witch Alliance, but he cannot completely ignore it. changes in the situation.
In addition, as the commander, it is also his responsibility to ensure the safety of the team members. Whether it is in terms of personal feelings or training costs, Malu does not want any accidents to happen to Yunque and the others.
So the first thing he did after arriving was to go to the Witch's House, intending to pick up the witches under his command. However, he was told that the Witch's House was closed today and no witches were allowed to go out.
Ma Lu was a little surprised, because witches were also allowed to participate in celebrations in the past, as long as the knights reported in advance. He specifically asked the nun inside, and found out that this was the Holy Knights, or more accurately, the new order that Levi had just issued last night.
It seems that Levi is not completely ignorant of the next actions of the Witch Alliance.
And later, Malu also discovered that the signal near the Witch's House seemed to have been temporarily blocked. Skylark liked chatting with people so much that Malu sent her a message, but the girl did not reply for a quarter of an hour.
This was simply impossible in the past.
Could it be that Levi has discovered that there is still a fallen witch lurking in the Witch's House? Or maybe he just had suspicions and no evidence, so in order to avoid any accidents, he simply cut off the connection between the Witch's House and the outside world on the day of the celebration?
Ma Lu was too lazy to use his brain to guess, so he simply asked the person involved directly.
He is now a senior member of the Holy Knights, and he is still a member of Levi, so he still has this privilege.
However, Li Wei was not in the office, so Ma Lu rushed out. After leaving the giant tower, he was thinking about where to find Li Wei when he was unexpectedly tapped on the shoulder.
Ma Lu turned around and found that the person standing behind him was actually the herald.
The latter looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he quickly stuffed a small note over.
“What do you mean?”
“This is specially written to you by Master Li Wei.” The herald said, “You are one of the few people he can trust, so this secret mission Only you can do it”
"Secret mission?" Malu frowned.
"You will know after reading the note," the herald said, "Remember, this note cannot be seen by a third person including me, and this time will not be recorded in the files of the Knights. Mission, may the glory of the Lord of Order always shine on you, Master Ximu."
After saying that, he turned and hurriedly turned into a side alley.
Ma Lu held the note and frowned even deeper. Why did he have to work overtime during the holidays? Even if he worked overtime, he still had to be so mysterious.
The key is that no matter how good Li Wei is in keeping secrets, you can't stop Malu. He is illiterate and can't understand what is written on the small note. In addition, Yunque and others can't understand it at this time. Unable to contact.
Malu could only stop a passerby and handed the note over, "Read me what is written on it."
"Yes, Lord Knight."
Although Malu's request It was a bit strange, but when passers-by saw the knight's armor on his body, they didn't have any doubts and immediately read it loudly.
"Someone in the city has been secretly spreading news recently that the Shrike is just pretending to die and will appear on the celebration day. You go investigate this matter and find out the mastermind behind it. Goethe of the Drinkers' Meeting should know Click something, be careful, don't let others discover your purpose."
After reading the words on the note, the passerby was dumbfounded and stammered, "Then...that evil fallen witch. The leader is not dead?”
Malu snatched the note from his hand and comforted, "It's nothing, it's just a celebration day joke. Just go ahead and do what you should do."
