Chapter 24 Boss Appears
After the first joy, the second game of cards went more harmoniously.

Lin Jiang was very lucky and got a lot of good cards. The words Xu Lin said most often that night were "No, no, no".

The sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains, and both of them woke up feeling refreshed.

But it’s hard to tell who is happier.

[You killed a lot of people last night, force +1]

Tongzi, you know how to evaluate.

"Go wash up quickly and don't dawdle. Cousin Ma Shangxi's store is opening today and you'll be busy."

"It's okay, I know what's going on."

After getting up and eating something simple, Lin Jiang went to the store.

When I came over, I found that Chen Jingxian had already arrived.

Because she was here to work, Chen Jingxian dressed very smartly, in slim jeans and a white T-shirt. She looked a lot younger, like a college girl.

"Just wait and be anxious."

"It didn't take long." Chen Jingxian gathered her hair and said:
"I just went to check next door, they also have a promotion, eat noodles and get a free drink, and also give a three-dollar voucher."

Lin Jiang looked towards the entrance of Chunhe Noodle House. There were two rows of flower baskets and a red carpet. Someone was busy at the door and even firecrackers were taken out.

"It's quite a big battle." Lin Jiang muttered.

“So we also need to have a sense of crisis.”

"Don't worry, everything is under my control."

He took out the key and opened the shop door. Not long after, Li Yuanyuan and Zhang Guofu also came.

Lin Jiang gave a brief introduction and then started the official business.

"50% off? This price reduction promotion is too drastic. It's basically losing money to gain publicity."

Chen Jingxian said in surprise when she saw the promotion plan written by Lin Jiang.

"This is the most effective way. Let's put some pressure on them first. I can still afford the compensation."

"understood."

Crackling... crackling...

Just then, the sound of firecrackers rang out. Li Yuanyuan was curious and went out to take a look.

"Brother Jiang, the business next door has just opened and they are setting off firecrackers."

"Put the promotional advertisement on the door and open for business."

"Uh-huh."

After the firecrackers stopped, Li Yuanyuan posted the store's promotional advertisements on the door.

Not long after the poster was put up, a customer came to the store.

Lin Jiang took a look at the other person and felt that he looked familiar; he was a regular customer of the store.

"Everything is 50% off today? Is the promotion that strong?"

"You guys always come to support me, but I can't be a Huang Shiren. I have to provide some benefits for my family, haha..."

"Haha... you are a good kid. Do it well. No matter how many noodle shops open on this street in the future, I will come to your house to eat."

"Okay, sit inside."

When customers come, the store becomes busy.

At the same time, because the online food delivery platform was also selling at a 50% discount, food delivery orders also soared. More than a dozen bowls were sold in just a few minutes.

……

Chunhe Noodle House.

Zhou Chengrong, his wife Wu Liping, and Ma Shangxi were waiting in the store.

Zhou Chengrong is slightly plump and tall, and does not look as weak as Ma Shangxi. Sitting there, he gives people a very strong and solid feeling.

But more than half an hour passed and there was no one, not even a takeout order.

"What's going on? It's almost time for lunch, why isn't anyone here?" Wu Liping muttered.

"Don't worry. It's not Berkeley's lunch break yet. It will take at least half an hour for someone to come."

After half an hour, there was still no one.

Just one poor takeout order.

"Something's not right. Where have all the people gone? I'll go out and take a look."

Wu Liping couldn't help it, so she got up and went outside the store. Her main target of investigation was Lin Jiang's store.

If his shop was empty, the situation on my side would be easy to understand.

“Why are there so many people in his shop?”

"Why are you so startled? You scared me."

"You'll know if you come and take a look. Something big has happened!" Wu Liping slapped her thigh anxiously.

Zhou Chengrong held a cigarette in his mouth, put down his crossed legs, walked out of the store, and naturally looked in the direction of Lin Jiang's store.

"Why are you all going to his store?"

There are two tables outside Lin Jiang's shop, and diners are eating noodles in their bowls with gusto.

"Our discounts are so great, there's no way we can't beat them."

Zhou Chengrong muttered something, and Wu Liping was also puzzled.

You have to taste it to know the taste. It's too weird that you go to someone else's store without even tasting it.

"Wait a minute, I'll go over and take a look."

In order not to expose himself, Zhou Chengrong threw away the cigarette butt, got into his car with Ma Shangxi, and drove to the door of Lin Jiang's store.

I noticed that there were people coming in and out, and there were also many delivery riders. His was the most popular store on the entire street.

"Damn it! They're having a 50% discount sale!"

The average price of various noodles is about 20 yuan per bowl, and a 10% discount means it’s yuan per bowl.

This kind of price is not available in the city, let alone the suburbs. No wonder the customers of my store are snatched away.

"What the hell!"

The noodle shop’s business was so booming that Zhou Chengrong almost went bankrupt.

I just took off my fucking vest, and you even took off your fucking underwear!
You want to show off, right?
Oh shit!

"That won't work. I suggest you give a 50% discount and give away a bottle of drink. That way you can win back all the customers."

Ma Shangxi had worked at the Berkeley Mall for many years and soon thought of a way to survive by cutting off his arm. "This is the only way now. I have to fight him!"

……

Lin Jiang's shop was extremely busy, and there was no time even to go to the toilet.

Taking a break from his busy schedule, Lin Jiang took a look at the sales. By 12 noon, more than 80 bowls had been sold.

At this rate, we can complete the task of 200 bowls during lunch time alone.

[Boss appears, players please be on guard]

The sudden appearance of the game prompt made Lin Jiang stunned.

I have been doing tasks for so many days and met many NPCs, but this is the first time such a prompt has appeared.

This also means that the boss mentioned by the system should be nearby, but out of sight.

But what is the so-called Boss?
interesting.

If it is a computer game, you must be more careful because the boss may jump out at any time.

Even though my life has been gamified, such outrageous things would not happen in the real world.

So don’t worry about anything, just mind your own business. As for when it will appear, it all depends on God’s will.

Ignoring the game prompts, Lin Jiang continued to be busy.

Gradually, there were fewer customers in the store, but takeout orders were still booming.

"The restaurant next door has lowered its prices. Not only is it 50% off, but they also give away free drinks. Many people go there to eat." Chen Jingxian walked over and said.

"So that's how it is. I was wondering why there were so few customers."

"What should we do now?"

"No big deal, just wait and see."

"Ah? If that's the case, then the customer will be taken away."

"It doesn't matter. I can still afford it."

The main task now is to complete the task.

As long as the task is completed and the delicious MSG is obtained, it will be easy to control them.

"Then I'll get busy. There are still a lot of takeouts that haven't been packed."

"Ah."

Although some of the guests were taken away, Lin Jiang was not nervous at all.

I opened two food delivery platforms and found that the prices of Chunhe Noodle House had not changed, so he could not compete with my own online sales.

Now that I have takeout, it’s easy to complete the task.

You never lose by cheating.

In this way, we were busy until after two in the afternoon, and the number of diners in the store and take-out orders were decreasing simultaneously.

Zhang Guofu and Li Yuanyuan can handle it alone.

At the same time, a prompt sound came.

[Task completed: reward: delicious MSG*1, 50 experience points]

Lin Jiang is ready to try, looking forward to the effects of delicious MSG.

Just then, a courier appeared at the door.

"Is Lin Jiang here? There's a package for him."

"I am."

The courier got off the tricycle and carried out a box that was one meter square.

"It's so big!"

Lin Jiang made the same sigh as Xu Lin.

"Brother, come and help me. This thing is very heavy. I can't carry it by myself."

"okay."

The two of them worked together to carry out the large box, which was very heavy, at least over 100 kilograms.

Lin Jiang and the courier moved the items to the back kitchen, but did not unpack them until everyone left in the evening.

"Brother Jiang, is the business so good?"

Hearing the voice, Lin Jiang looked back and found it was Qin Youyou.

"We have a price cut today and the business in the store is pretty good. What do you want to eat? I'll ask the kitchen to make it for you."

"I'm not hungry yet. I came to you because I wanted to invite you to dinner tonight, but looking at your condition, it seems that you won't be able to eat."

"It's definitely not possible today, let's do it another day."

"Is it okay tomorrow?"

"I can't say for sure until tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll send you a message tomorrow."

"OK."

The two chatted for a few words, then Qin Youyou left and Lin Jiang continued to work in the store.

In the afternoon, because Chunhe Noodle House started a price war, some customers were snatched away, resulting in the business in the store not being as popular as in the morning, but they were still busy and had no rest.

It was not until eight o'clock in the evening that Lin Jiang closed the food delivery platform. He was tired after a busy day and did not plan to take any more orders.

"Master Zhang, Yuanyuan, you've worked hard today. Let's get off work early so you can rest early."

"Thank you, Brother Jiang."

The two of them packed up and went home after get off work.

Chen Jingxian is an accountant and she habitually sits at the cash register and does the accounting.

Lin Jiang returned to the kitchen and couldn't wait to open the carton.

After opening it, I found that there were small bags inside, and they were very small, all containing one gram.

At the very top, there is a folded A4 paper, which, when opened, is the instruction manual.

[For every 50Kg of soup base, add 1g of delicious MSG for a better taste]

[Add 50g of delicious MSG to every 1L of water and use it to mix the dough for a better taste]
