Infinite Cafetaria

Chapter 294 New Visitors

Ma Lu opened at 5 p.m., and before 8 p.m. all 200 servings of Dongpo Pork were sold out, and the remaining dishes were also sold within half an hour.

 If you include the queuing time, people who come after 7 o'clock will actually no longer be able to eat Dongpo Pork.

Seeing that the queue was already long enough, Ma Lu also put a sign at the end of the queue that the queue ends tomorrow.

 After the last customer left, Ma Lu calculated today's income, which was 113,276 in total. Then he called Little Snail and Wu Peipei, who worked part-time in the store, over and settled their wages for the previous week.

Since the two of them still had to go to class, they had to pick part-time jobs during their free time. One worked for 18 hours and the other worked for 24 hours. According to the hourly wages of 50 yuan an hour, they were 900 and 1,200.

Ma Lu directly transferred the double amount to them via WeChat, "The extra money will be treated as a bonus."

They were very happy when they heard this, especially Wu Peipei. Her family's situation was not very good. She applied for a student loan to pay for her tuition, and she had to rely on herself for accommodation and daily expenses.

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

 When they left, Ma Lu also paid He Xiaoqian 4,000 yuan, which was a pure bonus. As for her salary, it was settled monthly and paid on the 1st of every month.

Mr. Ma will certainly not treat himself badly after giving away gold coins to his employees.

 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 just like choosing a girlfriend. It’s easy to get confused.

Especially for cars in the price range of around 500,000 yuan, they are basically both fat and thin, each with its own unique skills.

 Some have cool looks, some have good chassis quality, some have excellent intelligence, some have a good driving experience, some have sofas, color TVs + large refrigerators, and a full ride experience, and some... have standards.

It was not easy to choose among them, so Malu first used the elimination method to eliminate the oil trucks.

In addition to responding to the country’s call for energy conservation and emission reduction, the main reason is that new energy has developed rapidly in recent years, and compared with oil trucks of the same level, it does provide a lot.

Not to mention the 360-degree reversing image, seat ventilation, steering wheel heating and other traditional luxury car features that require payment as standard equipment, there are also more generous materials, a solid body structure, active and passive safety, more powerful power, and more silky smoothness. car engine…

  Really usable automatic parking, assisted driving, one-button summoning and other fashionable little functions are also emerging one after another, and there have also been great improvements in energy consumption and tuning.

Among new energy sources, Malu prefers pure electric vehicles rather than extended range or hybrid vehicles. This is mainly because only pure electric vehicles are not restricted in B city, and it is quite a pain to buy a car and not be able to drive it for a while.

 After delineating the scope of pure electric vehicles, Ma Lu sorted out his needs. First of all, he still had some requirements for space. Because when opening a restaurant, it is inevitable that there will be times when he needs to haul goods, so the trunk cannot be too small.

Then the car had better have some business attributes. After all, he is now a businessman. In addition to these two points, Malu also hopes that the battery life will be long enough, and the CLTC should be at least 800. In this way, he can run at least 400 kilometers with a 50% discount in winter. Charging once a week is almost enough if you don’t run long distances.

Looking at it this way, Ma Lu felt that 09 was the most suitable. He was even ready to place an order. But one night, he and Lao Wang went out for a walk on 6 in the dead of night.

 Passing 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.

Ma Lu followed his gaze and said, "Oh, it's a battery swapping station. There are indeed a lot of batteries in it, but they're just for cars, just like power banks."

 He suddenly paused when he said this, and an idea came to his mind.

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

Compared with rental houses, the power of restaurants will be larger, and the charging time can be shortened accordingly. However, the normal operation of lighting, air conditioning, refrigerators and various kitchen equipment must be ensured first, and the remaining power will not be that much. .

 Lao Wang’s workload has increased now, and he is supporting the kitchen of the restaurant by himself, which consumes electricity faster, so he now charges significantly more times a week than before, and the charging time is also longer.

Ma Lu feels that he spends almost half of his time in front of the socket. If he wants to improve this situation, he must find a more efficient way to replenish energy for Lao Wang.

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

However, there is also a problem with overcharging, that is, it is easy to be spotted by other people. After all, overcharging piles are built in open areas, so they will definitely not be usable during the day. According to Ma Lu’s observation, even in the early morning, there will be sporadic network connections. Rent a car to charge there.

  But if it is a battery replacement, 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 exchange station and get a new battery immediately. It does not affect the use of the Malu car, and the energy replenishment efficiency is greatly improved. .

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

Thinking about this, Malu changed his mind again, and finally changed the order to es8.

 He deliberately chose a large 100-kWh battery, and then basically filled up the available configurations. Counting various discounts, the price was almost 600,000, which was a bit over the budget, but it was not a big problem.

The only regret is that I heard that the initial unlimited free battery swap rights have been cancelled, otherwise Lao Wang should be able to directly charge the car company until it goes bankrupt.

 After rewarding himself and solving Lao Wang's energy replenishment problem, Malu returned his attention to the daily operation of the restaurant.

 And just on Wednesday night, the Universe Infinite 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 The one above is wearing gloves.

 When he saw her for the first time, Malu almost thought An Qi was here again.

 Because except for idol stars, few people would wrap themselves up so tightly, but she is obviously smaller than An Qi and is thinner.
