Universe Infinite Canteen.

Chapter 20 Absolute Pacifist

It turns out that choice is indeed more important than effort.

Yesterday, Ma Lu and Lao Wang sold out 150 meat patties at the subway entrance until about 5 o'clock in the middle of the night. Now the quantity has doubled, and they can close the stall and go home before o'clock.

The vigorous publicity by Shen Yue and others played a big role in bringing the first batch of customers to the world's number one food stall, but the key is that the fried jackal patties are delicious enough.

Only those who have eaten in this way will become tap water, spontaneously recommend it to their friends, and spread the word, so that the subsequent customer flow will continue.

On the way home, Ma Lu also settled today's accounts.

Among them, the turnover soared from 2538 yesterday to 5364.

But the expenses dropped from 1022.4 to 165.7, which also included a box of lunches that Shen Yue packed from the canteen, and Ma Lu took them for lunch.

So today's profit was a full 5198.3. This number made Ma Lu energetic.

Passing by a supermarket, he stopped his tricycle and went inside to carry a box of pure raw materials. He also bought two kilograms of braised meat, planning to go back to celebrate.

Malu also asked Lao Wang if there was anything he wanted to buy. Lao Wang said, "At this stage, I need a kitchen utensil that can dry ingredients quickly."

"Oven," Malu snapped his fingers, "I'll buy it for you when we get back, but that's not what I'm asking. I want to say how do you want to reward yourself?"

"Charge."

"Apart from charging, our snack business is doing quite well now. We have earned next month's rent in advance. Our survival problem has been solved. We can relax properly. Otherwise, why would we work so hard?"

"To explore and preserve the beauty of the multiverse."

"That's right. You've made rapid progress and you've learned to tell funny jokes."

"No, I'm serious." Lao Wang said seriously, "My tribe and I have always taken this as our mission, and this is also the meaning of our existence."

"Uh, okay... I'm actually considering buying a switch, so that we can play games together in our free time, giving you another perspective on the universe, and maybe you can find beauty in it," Ma Lu suggested. .

Lao Wang thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay."

…………

In the next two days, the No. 1 snack stall in the universe continued to operate at the west gate of Hangzhou University. In addition to fried meat patties, it also successively launched two new products: flavored meat jerky and steamed meatballs.

However, due to the limited quantities of the raw materials used, including gray shrews, jumping mice and black-breasted chickens, the final product was only 12 kilograms of jerky and 34 meatballs.

The two items together were sold for just over a thousand, and on the fourth day the jackal meat reserves were at their lowest.

Malu opened the refrigerator, and there were only 2 horn-bellied black speed snakes, 1 sand-sweeping armadillo, and 23 young flame lizards left in the refrigerator.

The dishes suitable for making these items are not easy to sell directly, and the quantities are not large enough.

Malu thought for a while and simply kept it for himself to eat.

In four days, the No. 14764.3 food stall in the universe made a total profit of . The reason why the profit is so amazing is not only that the joint operation of mobile stalls does not require rent or hiring people, but also because the meat as the main ingredient is all brought back by Malu from another universe. No money either.

The major cost component is electricity.

Lao Wang himself is a strategic partner of the State Grid, and now he has added a bug egg, which must be charged before each start.

In just four days, each person and one egg paid for more than 2,000 yuan in electricity bills.

However, compared with their contribution, the investment is still worth it. Seeing that the date was approaching, Ma Lu paid next month's rent first, and then bought a 500-liter freezer from pdd, planning to put it on the balcony.

The current refrigerator at home was left behind by the landlord. It has a single door and a capacity of only 200 liters. For people like Ma Lu who don’t usually cook, it is enough to store some drinks and leftovers. You can expect to use it for freezing. The ingredients are unrealistic.

The pile of meat that Malu brought back last time alone was too big to fit in the kitchen, and the refrigerator was not even big enough.

As a result, it was thrown back into the collection bag, and it was taken as much as it was used each time. According to Lao Wang, the preservation effect of this piece of equipment was actually better than that of the refrigerator.

However, as the number of times Ma Lu goes out increases, the types of ingredients he collects will also increase. It is inevitable that he will encounter things that cannot be cooked or are not suitable for cooking at the moment, so he still has to prepare a large freezer at home.

The last and most important thing.

The switch that Malu bought online arrived, and he also bought a few game cassettes. So for the next two days, he didn't go out, playing games with Lao Wang while making baby lizard skewers.

Needless to say, although this thing only has a deliciousness index of ☆ in the recipe, it tastes quite addictive.

It's a bit like a combination of grilled squid and stinky tofu, with a crispier texture than grilled squid and a faint smell of sulfur.

It feels a little strange when you take the first bite, but you want to take another bite to confirm. However, even if you chew it carefully, it is still difficult to evaluate, so you can only bite the bullet and continue eating...

This cycle goes on and on, and I finish one bunch without realizing it, and then pick up the second bunch unconsciously, but I still can't tell whether it tastes good or bad.

In fact, even after finishing all 23 baby lizard skewers, Malu still had no answer to this question.

It is like a naughty and dexterous dancer, repeatedly testing and dancing on the boundary between good and bad.

Malu rubbed his sore eyes and looked at the time.

Originally, he should have gone to bed to catch up on his sleep two hours ago, but he was so absorbed in playing games that he accidentally overplayed it. There was only less than ten minutes left before the next time he went out to collect.

Malu put down the controller, stood up from the ground, went to the bathroom to relieve his hands, and then iced his face with cold water, feeling somewhat refreshed.

He returned to the living room and said to Lao Wang, who was still concentrating on driving, "I'm going out."

"Oh, don't you want to finish this game?" Lao Wang controlled the car and drifted into the corner perfectly, reaching the first place again. However, immediately after he was hit by a blue turtle shell, he started to be punished on the spot, and his ranking also dropped. decline.

Malu shook his head. After playing so many rounds of Mario Kart, there was a reason why Lao Wang never won a round.

He picked up a bunch of props, but he never attacked other drivers, including the AI. He only got beaten unilaterally every time.

Malu recalled the first time the two met. When Lao Wang introduced himself in the cafe, he said that he was an absolute pacifist.

"No, I have to work. I have made an appointment with someone on the other side. I can't keep him waiting too long. Moreover, we have to hunt more prey this time to ensure the supply of food for the next week."

Malu confirmed that he had the collection bag, chef's knife, and the gift of fate on him, and then dug out the insect eggs from a pile of snacks.

"You can go play Animal Crossing after I leave, whichever is more suitable for you."

After saying that, Malu sat cross-legged on the sofa. Just like last time, he put the insect eggs on his head. Hold your breath and concentrate, entering a meditative state.

Then he opened his mouth and spit out the sentence, "The universe is all over the egg, and the egg is smooth!"

The white egg above his head immediately jumped, responding to his call and sending him onto the egg highway again.
