After the official opening of Brother Zhang's branch in another world, the business was really booming. People in the Rose Empire just knew that there was a restaurant opened by heavenly beings here. They came here out of curiosity and spent a silver coin to have a meal. Although a silver coin is indeed worth a lot of money to many people, it is not bad to be able to see the appearance of heavenly beings for a long time.
Of course, Brother Zhang not only provides set meals here, but also a la carte. He even took great care to update the entire menu. Now the menu of the small restaurant is just like those of the big restaurants. Every dish is They are all accompanied by pictures, making it look like a collection of food display pictures.
Many foods do not exist in the Rose Empire. For example, most seafood is like this. Both fishing technology and transportation technology are completely useless, so food choices are very limited, which is... very consistent with a classic landlocked country. setting.
But seafood, if you are a compatible person, you will never forget it once you take one bite. Even if you feel edema, you must eat it, and you must eat it until you feel thin. And Brother Zhang is a GZ here... …
So even the smartest wise man cannot influence people's hearts. When a person discovers what he really wants, all plans will become ridiculous, even if the producer of this plan is a guardian. .
Brother Zhang, who obviously wants to promote his own fried chicken, never imagined that the best seller in the day would be Lao Zhi small seafood... The essence of a real foodie is that someone who would feel distressed even if he showed up with a copper plate can still do it for food. Pay one gold coin.
Many people came here just to try it out or to catch a glimpse of the heavenly beings, but in the end they started ordering from the menu. If they ordered too much, they would ask their friends to come over, even if the price was high. care.
“That’s probably what making money is about.”
A fat imperial businessman raised his glass and said to his old friend: "Dry it, it's called beer."
Because the Centaur galaxy operates in a chaotic system, most of the vegetables they can eat are aquatic plants. When these people eat special vegetables or fruits on land for the first time, their expressions will not even change. Yayu took his first bite of small seafood in a sauce.
The good business continued until the evening, and Brother Zhang decided to close the store. After all, he could bear it, but the waiter couldn't. Even Xu Wei's face showed a bit of fatigue.
After closing the business for today, Xu Wei came to the back with a face of vicissitudes of life, and sat in front of Brother Zhang, lying softly on the counter. The pain in her eyes was unique to the working people of the classic old society. Xu Wei looked miserable. Xu Wei, who was still somewhat clinging to the tail of youth, now looked like a widow who had given birth to seven children at home and was bullied by an evil mother-in-law. She was dragged out alone to play Frankenstein without even needing makeup. .
"Very tired, right?"
Brother Zhang handed her a cup of special magic drink. This is a reverse output product of the Rose Empire. It is an exclusive drink for magicians that can quickly replenish energy and effectively relieve fatigue. It is made from a plant unique to the Rose Empire. The drink made from the seeds tastes like hawthorn, but is much more sour, but the effect is very good. After one cup, you will feel energetic.
Xu Wei took the drink and took a sip, and at this moment, the listless Xiao Hei and Coral also came over, and Xiao Zhang also handed them a drink.
To be honest, at the end of the day, the intensity was really high. The table turnover rate was not high, but the meal frequency was very fast. Usually, people at a table could eat for several hours, and then order much more than normal people. Almost everyone ate until they were sick before walking out.
"I heard that eight hours is one day over there?"
"Well, but their concept of the sky is different from ours. For example, we hear that sleeping for a day is a long time, but for them, sleeping for a day is the most basic of the basics. They don't even have the concept of a day. Brother Zhang explained: "Actually, apart from the needs of the calendar, people there basically don't measure time according to the day. They have their own time unit, which seems to be a magic day."
"I don't understand."
"I don't know the specifics, but the duration of a sundog for them is about twenty-four hours, which is similar to ours."
"Why?" Xu Wei asked curiously: "It's obviously not a world or a galaxy."
Brother Zhang smiled and said: "It's because of the time travellers. They have a clock tower. The clock tower has a twelve-hour clock, and among their most precious holy relics is a watch. They say it was left by their great sages. Treasure, use gears to record time, so that they can get order from chaos. I went to see the holy relic, and there was a trademark on it. But it was a long time ago, and the glass cover on it was all patinated. I guess it should be It looks like three to four hundred years."
"So that's it." Xu Wei nodded: "Then I understand. They use their calendar to count their age, but use the 24-hour clock to work and rest. So let's buy a batch of cheap watches. Don’t get rich.”
Brother Zhang listened to Xu Wei's eloquent remarks, and then took out a pocket watch given to him by Gray. The pocket watch was exquisite and exuding nobility. It looked like a piece of exquisite art. The dial was made of The natural crystal is polished, and on the reverse side you can see that the internal copper mechanical structure is operating in an orderly manner. The craftsmanship is very good, and even reaches a pleasing level.
“Their watchmaking technology is very good.”
Xu Wei took the watch and played with it for a while, and found that it was really exquisite. However, this made her raise a lot of strange questions, such as why they didn't look very advanced, and why. There is no such thing as modern industry.
Brother Zhang can't explain it well. After all, it's true that he went to do research, but he mainly did the research to investigate the local food culture, and did not have a detailed understanding of the local society, technology and humanities, so he can be said to be incompetent. investigator, but these are not within the scope of his investigation. He will talk about it when he talks to Gray, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't talk about it.
Now what he wants to discuss with Xu Wei and the others is to determine the time frame for future operations. There is no need to consider the other side for this. He only needs to consider his own side and see the labor intensity and length of time they can accept.
"I think ten in the morning to five in the afternoon is more suitable. After five o'clock in the afternoon, we supply here. If there is a little overlap at noon, it won't be a big problem. After all, when this place returns to normal, the business on both sides should be similar. However, The sound is better here at night, and the sound is better over there during the day."
Brother Zhang hummed, "Can you guys tolerate it?"
As he spoke, he turned to look at Luna Xiaohei and Coral Moon, signaling for them to express their opinions as well.
"no problem."
Brother Zhang nodded and said, "Well, let's do that."
In the next few days, Brother Zhang opened the store according to this time pattern. Anyway, they don't have a three-meal system there. They eat whenever they are hungry, so it is quite suitable for flexible dining like this.

While Brother Zhang is thinking about generating income, Xiao Ma is sitting in the shopping mall and staring at the Queen of Di people across from him. He originally said three days, but now three days and three days later, Xiao Ma feels that if he stays here any longer, He will be able to work as a shopping guide here from now on. In the past few days, he has slept on all the sample beds in this furniture store. Except for the fact that his food is not good, everything else is pretty good, like For someone like him who doesn't have to worry about making a living, it's really nice to experience something like this once in a while.
During this period of time, the Queen of Di Ren was able to calm down and learn about the human world. She started using her mobile phone. In just a few days, Xiao Ma taught her to the point where she could watch short videos independently. Now the Queen of Di Ren is a He is a tall man, about 1.8 meters tall, and what he does every day is lie on the sofa in a store, scroll through his phone, and laugh.
Once Xiao Ma took a look at what she was watching, and what he saw was a strange woman in the video waving her hands while asking, "With a girlfriend like me, what time will you go home at night?"
Although Xiao Ma wants to correct it, there is no need to think about it carefully. After all, she is a person who has little education and has just been exposed to the Internet for a short time. The culture she has received since she was a child is the influence of a tribal matriarchal society. Now look at these things This is considered progress. After all, in their culture, if a strong woman likes a man, she can knock him over with a harpoon and carry him home.
And she is the strongest woman in the tribe. With a length of six meters and a half and a weight of just over two tons, she can easily kill one of the most ferocious leopard seals. She is extremely powerful, and her speed in the water can chase a swordfish until it spits foam. Even an adult great white shark can't see her. Have to tremble.
What's wrong with a guy like this, hitting a man with a harpoon? Just ask what happened?
But now she didn't use violence but just asked "What time will you go home with a girlfriend like me?" Isn't this a super progress comparable to the first industrial revolution? If that was the case, no one would be innocent when she picked up the harpoon.
"I want to go to this place."
The Diren Queen held up a picture of the Ice City and handed it to Xiao Ma: "Take me there."
"You will become a frozen hairtail fish here." Xiao Ma analyzed seriously: "You are a tropical fish, you can't go to such a cold place."
The queen said oh, and turned around to go back to her sofa with a disappointed expression. However, just when Xiao Ma was about to comfort her, her phone rang, and after the call was answered, a rat's voice came over: " You'd better go on a business trip with me later."
"Brother, I'm still in isolation."
"I'll think of a way for you. Anyway, just prepare."
"Why didn't you think of a way for me earlier?"
The mouse's laughter came: "Let me ask you how much your feelings have improved."
Xiao Ma snorted coldly: "Tell me, what are you going to do?"
"It's a confidential mission. When the time comes, just pack your things and follow me."

Today's two chapters couldn't pass the trial. Maybe some special sensitive words were triggered. It's getting late now and I don't have the energy to bother with it anymore. I've been revising this chapter for a long time... I'll talk about it tomorrow.
