The origin of the star lotus world

Chapter 2044 Text

Chapter 1980

After dining at the Boat Banquet Restaurant that day, we went to a fast food restaurant on the first floor of the mall for afternoon tea, where we had ice cream with cookie crumbs.

In the paper cup, there is white original ice cream, the same as the ice cream in the cone, but the quantity is larger, and chocolate-flavored biscuit crumbs are sprinkled on the ice cream for flavoring. The taste is okay, but the price is several times more expensive than the ice cream in the cone, which is not suitable. Because there was a promotion at that time, buy one get one free, I chose that ice cream, and I tried it occasionally and thought it was okay. I had already eaten a full meal at that time, and I saw that there was a promotion for food in the software, including hamburgers, French fries, cola, and red bean pie, but I didn’t choose it. My family said that we could order food, and if we didn’t eat it, we could wait until the evening, but I said that we could just order ice cream and come to the fast food restaurant to eat later. I had already eaten two small bowls of rice at the boat banquet restaurant and ate a pot of Maoxuewang, and there was not much left for the other two dishes.

I saw several teenage boys coming into the store. They looked like students who were good at sports. They were wearing short-sleeved shirts or vests and shorts, which gave them a sporty vibe. I didn't know if they were practicing high jump, long jump, or running. They were very thin, with long thighs, and their bodies were a bit like bamboo poles. They looked very flexible. They were wearing pretty good trendy brand clothes. They might also be basketball players, as they were tall and had an advantage.

I saw a couple talking in the store. A woman wearing a sun hat was discussing with a man wearing glasses what to buy in the mall and which store to eat at. Their voices were not quiet, so I could hear them. They were chatting happily. They regarded shopping and eating in the mall as a pastime. This is the way many people relax and have fun.

Young people often visit that fast food restaurant, and there are also parents with children. Some children shake their heads and want to choose multiple dishes. If some dishes come with small toys, they will ask for children's meals. Some parents will agree and spend more money. It doesn't matter. For the sake of the children's happiness, they will try their best to meet the requirements. If they don't buy dishes with toys, they may be unhappy. Since they are here, they will order other dishes and spend money. It's better to buy the dishes and items that the children want to satisfy their wishes, even if the prices of some dishes are not so affordable.

Think about what the author did when he was a child. At that time, he thought those small toys were very attractive. Some of the advertisements were very creative and well-promoted, which aroused his interest and yearning. Although some of the food in fast food restaurants tastes good, it is not to the extent that you have to eat it. It is mainly attracted by the small toys in the store that are repeatedly promoted in TV commercials. Whether to order those meal packages with toys in the store, you will pay attention and take a look. After all, parents spend money to arrange whether to buy goods. If parents disagree, it is useless to force them. Order other meals with larger portions, which are relatively more suitable. Adults know that the price of some toy packages is not affordable. It seems that the price of toys has been added to the overall price. The portion of the meal is not much, so it is difficult to get the benefit for free. Some adults say that it is better to buy similar toys directly than to spend dozens of dollars. They think the price of the toy package is not appropriate, but children don’t understand that they have to have such a meal just for some small toys. The TV commercials show that the products are so good. The effect of the looped advertisement is quite strong, which makes some people feel compelled to buy it. When I was a child, I thought that those small toys were full of expectations before I got them, just like the light in the special effects of the advertisements. I thought that it was good to get them, but in reality, it was just like that. After growing up and becoming mature, I think that what adults said is better to spend money to buy toys directly, which is right. Buying food for souvenirs may not be a good choice, at least the price is not affordable, and it is just for the fun of the moment. I bought such food with small toys many times, and I got a lot of toys. Because there are many toys at home, I will not cherish them more. I will use them once and throw them aside. I don’t have the original interest and enthusiasm, and even think they are dispensable.

Over the past few decades, several fast food brands have not only maintained their business growth, but have even improved. There are certainly reasons for this. Think about how many tens of thousands of chain stores have been opened, how powerful the brand effect must be to cover the world, and how daring it is to become a leader in the industry. Some have already become reference cases for business success, and they are indeed advanced and outstanding, which is why they have been able to own such a large industry for a long time.

Watching the online video introduction, some up-and-coming fast food brands, in order to increase their competitiveness, have kept the prices of some products very low, and even the phenomenon of discounted products not making much money has occurred. There are hot promotional products in the store, and the prices of other products are also moderate, that is, using lower prices to attract consumers, who may patronize once and feel that it is okay, and will buy again in the future. The total number of people who eat fast food in the city has already reached hundreds of millions. Some people do not always use fast food, but they will use it once a year, maybe because they are on the way, or in a hurry, because fast food does not need to wait for a long time and can be shipped as soon as possible, or because some food tastes good, or to participate in discount activities, and hear recommendations from relatives and friends, so they use fast food. Some people even use fast food as a work meal, which can be used hundreds of times a year. The total amount of such a market demand is too large, so naturally many people see business opportunities and want to share a certain market share. In addition to the lack of secret recipes for food, the nature of common fast food is not complicated, and the production of semi-finished products is relatively fast. The production of hamburgers, fried chicken nuggets, carbonated drinks with ice, French fries, and other fried foods does not require much technical content. Some semi-finished products are provided by the factory and can be heated and assembled in the restaurant kitchen. It is much simpler than the production of some complicated dishes of Chinese and Western food. Some brands of fast food restaurants are emerging. As long as the product quality is up to standard and the price is affordable, there will inevitably be a consumer group. As long as the product quality is good, it is actively promoted, and there is a good franchise system, there may be many stores in succession. Some leading enterprises also started from a small scale, seized business opportunities, and their business became bigger and bigger. Those affordable fast food restaurants may have a larger bun size for the hamburgers in the store than the same products in big fast food restaurants. The price of hamburgers in some big fast food restaurants is getting higher and higher, but the portion size is not only not increasing, but may even be reduced. This is something that many consumers will complain about. If the goods in some stores are cheap and of good quality, then consumption is inevitable. Even if the store is located in a bad location and has a small business area, as long as it can satisfy consumers and the business can make money in the long run and have a certain profit, this is not a problem. The author expressed his concern for high-quality, good-quality and low-priced goods, and hoped to buy them in the future. If you think they are good, you can consume them frequently.

Many years ago, the author used local fast food products and food from many stores. He found that the prices and portions of food in some stores were good, and the taste was OK. If some businesses are willing to persist and operate, and can maintain good product standards, they will have a corresponding market share.

After returning home that afternoon, the author went back to his room to rest as soon as possible, without using his phone or computer, to entertain and relax, and to have a good sleep to replenish his energy. He had to write and serialize the Star Lotus story at night, which would be very busy. After waking up, he had to concentrate on completing important tasks. In order to reduce the busy pressure at night, he completed some tasks in the morning and made corresponding arrangements.

If I have something to do in the morning or afternoon, I can only work hard at night and may have to stay up late. I will try my best to complete the tasks of the day. If I really can't complete it, I have to complete it the next day. The author wants to serialize the Star Lotus story for one million words this year. This goal is close to being achieved. In the remaining three months of this year, if I can continue to serialize and update a certain amount of words every day, I can complete this task. I believe that I can achieve the goal and it will be very fulfilling.

The author has not yet finished writing the storyline for the guest performances at the Dragon Year Gala, nor the storylines for the Dragon Year Banquet and the Shenghui Temple competition this year. I can’t go back to the dreamland during this period, and I don’t know when I can meet Lin Qisheng again. Maybe Lin Qisheng will miss me, or maybe not. He wants a storyline in which he appears, so he has to wait. There are so many stories that can be written, but I have started to record ordinary worldly life, and I will write more and more. The plain and tedious style remains the same, but I just wrote it like this, and as I wrote and read, I felt that it was okay.

July 15th of this year is the first dog days, July 22nd is the Great Heat, and July 25th is the middle dog days. During the three dog days in July, many parts of the country have high temperatures.

The hottest period of the year is from mid-to-late June to mid-to-late August, especially in July and early August. When the sun is shining and the heat is unbearable, you don’t want to go out, but the local buses, subways, shops and business districts have air conditioners blowing cold air, which is good. Sometimes it is hot and stuffy at home, and it is not so cool to use two fans of different sizes. You may go out in the afternoon or evening, take the bus or subway, and use the air conditioner to cool down and feel comfortable. Occasionally, you will go to a few shopping malls and have a midnight snack at night. As for going to the market to eat breakfast and buy fruit in the morning, you can go out at 7 o'clock in the morning, which will be relatively cool. When the sun comes out at 8 or 9 o'clock in the morning, the temperature will rise quickly.

  For some things, reasonable and moderate arrangements will produce the expected results, and may even be better.
