Universe Infinite Canteen.

Chapter 294 New Visitors
Malu opened at 5 p.m., and all 8 servings of the Extreme Flavor Storm Dongpo Pork were sold out before p.m., and the remaining dishes were also sold out within half an hour.

If you take into account the waiting time, people who come after 7 o'clock will not be able to eat Dongpo pork.

Seeing that the line was already long enough, Malu put a sign at the end of the line saying that the queue would end tomorrow.

After the last customer left, Malu calculated today's income, a total of 113276. He then called Xiao Snail and Wu Peipei, who worked part-time in the store, over and settled their wages for last week.

Because they still had to attend classes, they could only do odd jobs in their free time. One worked 18 hours and the other worked 24 hours. Based on the hourly wage of 50 yuan, the total wages were 900 and 1200 yuan.

Malu directly transferred the money to them twice as much via WeChat, "Take the extra as a bonus."

Both of them were very happy to hear this, especially Wu Peipei. Her family situation was not very good, and she had to apply for a student loan to pay for her tuition, and she had to rely on herself for accommodation and daily expenses.

Although working in the Universe Infinity Canteen is a bit hard, she can earn nearly 5,000 yuan a month. In addition, Malu will give her some bonuses from time to time, which is enough for her to use and save some.

After they left, Malu also gave He Xiaoqian 4000 yuan, which was a pure bonus. As for her salary, it was settled monthly and paid on the 1st of every month.

After giving gold coins to his employees, Mr. Ma certainly won’t treat himself badly.

A number was dialed quickly.

After more than half a month of test driving, he has basically experienced all the mainstream brands of cars in the market once or even twice, and it is time to make a decision.

Choosing a car is like choosing a girlfriend, it's easy to get dazzled.

Especially cars in the price range of around 50 yuan, which are basically all of various shapes and sizes, each with its own unique features.

Some have cool appearances, some have good chassis quality, some have excellent intelligence, some have good driving experience, some have sofas, color TVs + large refrigerators, and the riding experience is perfect, and some... have labels.

It was not easy to choose among them, so Malu first used the process of elimination to eliminate the oil truck.

In addition to responding to the country's call for energy conservation and emission reduction, it is mainly because new energy has developed rapidly in recent years. Compared with gasoline vehicles of the same level, it really offers a lot.

Not only are the features that traditional luxury cars have to pay for, such as 360-degree reversing images, seat ventilation, and steering wheel heating, standard, but there are also better materials, a sturdy body structure, active and passive safety, more powerful power, and a smoother car machine...

Truly usable trendy little features such as automatic parking, assisted driving, and one-button summoning are emerging in an endless stream, and there have also been great improvements in energy consumption and tuning.

Among new energy vehicles, Malu prefers pure electric vehicles rather than extended-range or hybrid vehicles. This is mainly because in City B, only pure electric vehicles are not subject to traffic restrictions. It is a very painful thing to buy a car and then not be able to drive it someday.

After narrowing down the range of pure electric vehicles, Malu sorted out his own needs. First of all, he had some requirements for space. Because he ran a restaurant, it was inevitable that he would need to transport goods, so the trunk could not be too small.

Then it would be better if the car has some business attributes. After all, he is a businessman now. In addition to these two points, Malu also hopes that the battery life is long enough. The CLTC should be at least 800 kilometers. In this way, it can run at least 5 kilometers with a 400% discount in winter. If he does not travel long distances, charging once a week is almost enough.

After looking at it this way, Malu felt that No. 09 was the most suitable. He was even ready to place an order. Then one night, he and Lao Wang took No. 6 out for a walk in the dead of night.

Passing by a small house next to the community, Lao Wang suddenly stopped. "What's wrong?" Malu asked.

"A lot of energy is stored here." Lao Wang said, staring at the small house in front of him.

Malu followed his gaze and said, "Oh, it's a battery swap station. There are indeed quite a few batteries inside, but they are for cars, just like power banks."

At this point he suddenly paused, an idea suddenly coming to his mind.

Lao Wang’s charging problem was not actually completely solved. At first, he could only charge in the rental house. Later, after the restaurant opened, Lao Wang could charge both in the rental house and in the Universe Infinity Canteen.

Compared to rental houses, restaurants have greater power and the charging time can be shortened accordingly, but it is necessary to ensure the normal operation of lighting, air conditioning, refrigerators and various kitchen equipment first, so there will not be much power left.

Lao Wang now has an increased workload and has to run the restaurant's kitchen by himself, which consumes electricity at a faster rate. So he charges his battery more often per week than before and the charging time is also longer.

Malu felt that he spent almost half of his time in front of the socket, and if he wanted to improve this situation, he had to find a more efficient way to replenish Lao Wang's energy.

In fact, what he first targeted were supercharging piles. Those supercharging piles that replenish new energy are widely distributed in urban areas, and their power is large enough. The most common ones are basically above 120kw, and the highest peak power can even reach 600kw.

However, there is a problem with supercharging, which is that it is easy to be seen by other people. After all, the supercharging piles are built in open areas and cannot be used during the day. According to Malu's observation, even in the early morning, there will be sporadic online ride-hailing vehicles charging there.

But if you replace the battery, there will be no such trouble.

It only takes 5 minutes to get a nearly fully charged battery. After charging, Lao Wang can return the empty battery to the battery swap station and get a new battery immediately without affecting Malu's use of the car, and the energy replenishment efficiency is greatly improved.

And from now on, all battery swap stations in the city can become Lao Wang’s energy storage stations.

After thinking about it, Malu changed his mind and finally ordered es8.

He deliberately chose a large 100-degree battery, and then basically maxed out all the optional configurations. Taking into account various discounts, the final price was about 60 yuan, which was a little over the budget, but not a big problem.

The only regret is that I heard that the original unlimited free battery replacement benefits have been cancelled, otherwise Lao Wang should be able to charge the car companies directly into bankruptcy.

After rewarding himself and solving Lao Wang’s energy problem, Malu turned his attention back to the daily operations of the restaurant.

And just on Wednesday night, the Universe Infinity Canteen welcomed another special guest.

The person was wearing a long black skirt that wrapped her body, and a wide-brimmed hat on her head, also black. In addition, her face was covered with a veil and her hands were wearing gloves.

When he saw her for the first time, Malu almost thought that Anqi had come again.

Because apart from idol stars, basically few people would wrap themselves up so tightly, but she is obviously smaller and thinner than Anqi.
