"This, ah, this..." Anxi looked at the coins on the ground stained with translucent mucus, and squatted down with determination.
After getting closer to the pile of coins on the ground, I discovered that the mucus was slightly corrosive, and the surrounding ground was corroded and turned black, giving it a coke-like appearance.
Anxi looked around with a flashlight, picked up a wooden stick from the ground, swept the slime off the coins, and started counting them one by one.
"67, 68, 69, 70..." Anxi counted and found that two coins were missing.
If you run out of coins, you don’t need to chase them.
Anxi recalled the rules, took out the bag from the front frame of the electric car, put all the coins in it, turned to the blister twins and said, "I wish you a pleasant meal, and I look forward to your next visit."
After delivering the order to the blister twins, Anxi rode back on her electric bike.
Nothing strange happened along the way, and Anxi returned to the store smoothly.
"The customer gave me 70 yuan." Anxi unfolded the cloth bag and showed it to the store manager Axiong, which was full of coins.
"I know." Store Manager Axiong responded, "Wash it and put it in the piggy bank over there."
Anxi walked into the toilet with a cloth bag, filled the sink with water, and poured the coins in. Miraculously, the mucus gradually solidified after being wetted with water, turning into a jelly texture similar to their bodies.
These jellies are no longer corrosive and can be easily picked up by hand without breaking.
Anxi collected the jelly and put it in a disposable lunch box to avoid clogging the sewer.
After coming out of the toilet, Anxi put the washed coins into the piggy bank on the windowsill. The piggy bank was a large glass bottle with many identical coins in it.
There is also a row of glass jars on the windowsill, containing various strange things, such as pine cones, dead leaves, fish bones...
Okay, it seems that normal money appearing here is not normal.
"While you have nothing to do now, go up to the second floor and tidy up your room." Manager Axiong opened the kitchen curtain, stuck his head out and said to An Qian.
The store itself does not have a second floor. It has a mezzanine above the counter, which is about 10 square meters.
The stairs leading to the second floor were unusually low and narrow, making it quite difficult to walk. Anxi huddled up and walked up the stairs to the second floor.
The door on the second floor was just a square opening in the floor. Anxi got through the opening. The mezzanine was packed with a single bed, leaving only a narrow gap around it for walking.
There was a set of clean sheets and quilt covers on the bed. Anxi put her backpack next to the bed and pulled off the sheets.
"jingle!"
While Anxi was making the bed, the door to the store opened.
Anxi lay down at the entrance of the cave and looked down. She saw a man wearing a thick fur coat and a cowhide hat. His whole body was wrapped so tightly that his face could not be seen clearly.
There was a chill when he walked in, and there were a few snowflakes falling, making him look like he lived in an extremely cold place.
"Three boxes of canned herrings and half a pound of dry bread."
He spoke, his voice low and deep.
Manager Axiong said "I know" and went back to the kitchen to wrap the canned herring and bread in wrapping paper, tie them with a rope and hand them over.
The customer in a thick coat paid a wad of money, took the food, opened the door and walked out.
Not all customers will order takeout, and some will choose to order directly from the store.
Fortunately, the store manager Axiong divided the responsibilities very clearly, and recruiting Anxi as a delivery person would not let her do other jobs.
Then several more customers came to the store, some took away food and some sat in the store to dine.
"Dingling bell~~Dingling bell~~"
As the restaurant was buzzing with activity, the phone on the counter rang.
"Come and answer the phone! Remember what the customer ordered!" Manager Axiong shouted towards the second floor, then turned and entered the kitchen to continue cooking.
An Qian came down from the second floor, coughed a few times, adjusted her tone, picked up the phone and said:
"Hello, this is a delicious food shop that smells good and tastes good. What do you need?"
The other person didn't speak, but there was a vague sound of "Puff...Puff..." The sticky bubbles bursting. After a while, the other person spoke.
"Hello, little sister, hee hee hee, are you the new delivery person?" A slimy and unusually sweet voice came from the microphone. It was hard to tell the difference between male and female, and it felt like a child's voice before it changed.
"Yes, who are you?" Anxi asked politely.
The other person replied: "Hee hee, hello, I'm Ah Tang. I want a durian mille-feuille and a durian pizza. If you can, please give me some durian candies. The durian candies the deliveryman brought last time were particularly delicious. .”
Anxi listened to the name of the dish being announced and recorded it in the notebook at hand.
After recording, Anxi continued: "I'll repeat it for you. One portion of durian mille-feuille, one portion of durian pizza and durian candy, right?"
"Yes, yes, hehehehe, I'll trouble you then."
"beep---"
After Ah Tang answered, he hung up the phone without giving Anxi a chance to say goodbye.
Putting the receiver back in place, Anxi conveyed the takeout order to the store manager.
"The customer asked for a few durian candies." Anxi told the store manager Axiong about the customer's needs.
"Hmm...durian candy." Store manager Axiong thought for a while, "It's the fourth glass bottle from the left on the windowsill."
Anxi looked at the window sill, where various currencies given by customers were placed.
The store manager Axiong can easily give away "money". It can be seen that these so-called currencies do not have much value in his eyes and cannot really replace money.
Why should it open a gourmet restaurant if it doesn't make money?
This question was probably related to the formation of the entire town, so Anxi decided not to explore it unless there was any special need.
After all, this place has not yet been eroded by the power of the curse and turned into a copy of the world, but it has already taken on such a strange and complicated posture. I am afraid that something is wrong here when everything is still normal in Fog City.
"It's better to pay more attention to my God customers."
An Qian opened a pile of information in her hand and turned to the page of A Tang.
