Infinite Cafetaria

Chapter 70 Visit

   At 17:05, Malu sold out the last portion of Queen's Crisps and closed the stall with Lao Wang to go home.

 Because I upgraded the traveler's bracelet by two levels, the hunting time this time was extended by two hours, and I didn't return home until almost 7 o'clock in the morning.

 So the stall was delayed accordingly, and we didn’t set out until the afternoon, and only 800 servings were prepared.

  At the end of the day, the total income is 14,400 yuan, the cost is 415.8, and the profit is 13,984.2. It is already a veritable daily income.

 Once the inventory is increased later, there should be a lot of room for improvement in this number.

Ma Lu feels that if this continues, it won’t be long before he can start looking at cars.

 But that’s not enough. Malu considers himself a very vulgar person, full of all kinds of worldly desires.

 Yesterday, he was surfing B site and saw a foreign up owner showing off his 90-square-meter private game room. He suddenly felt that the 85-inch TV he just bought was not so good.

 This shouldn’t be the same as another one? !

There are also gyms, swimming pools, and physical therapists... Although Malu doesn't even have a house now, he can't help but dare to think about it.

If a person has no dreams, what is the difference between him and a salted fish? !

 So the matter of opening a store needs to continue. With a store, it can be sold more expensively, and it can also open takeaways on Meituan and Ele.me, radiating to a larger surrounding area.

With this in mind, Malu closed the stall and walked around to Fangyuan East Road.

This is already his fourth visit to Jinxin Plumbing Hardware Department Store, and this time the hardware store is finally open.

 Ma Lu found a place to park the three-wheeler, and then walked in with Lao Wang.

The area inside is not large, only about 15 square meters by visual inspection. It is filled with sockets, light bulbs, curtain tracks, plates, door locks, and all kinds of screw tools and protective equipment. There is almost no place to stay.

 It looks no different from other hardware stores, except that there is no one inside.

 The boss should have returned, but I don’t know where he went now.

Ma Lu was not in a hurry. Since the other party had not locked the door, it meant that he would not be gone for too long.

Sure enough, within a short while, a figure appeared outside the store door.

 Ma Lu looked around and found that she was a girl in her early ten years.

“Brother,” the little girl said, “do you have any expansion screws for sale here? My dad is in a hurry to use them.”

Ma Lu originally wanted to say that he was not the boss, but when he thought that he had just seen expansion screws on a shelf, he changed his mind and said, "What model does your dad want and how many do he want?"

  “M8*40, 4 pcs.”

Ma Lu searched the price online while pulling out the screws in the box, and finally charged the little girl 4 yuan.

About three minutes after the little girl left, a burly man with a height of over 1.9 meters, wearing sunglasses and blue overalls, carrying an angle grinder and half a bag of leak-proofing king, walked out from the outside. Come in.

"boss?"

 The strong man nodded, "What do you want?"

“Oh, it was a pigeon that introduced us to you.” Malu stretched out his hand.

 The air inside the store froze for a few seconds.

Since the strong man was wearing sunglasses, Ma Lu couldn't see clearly his expression behind the sunglasses, but if he were an ordinary person, he would probably think that he had a mental problem after hearing what he just said.

 Fortunately, the strong man did not inquire about his mental state. Instead, he shook hands with him and said, "What do you call me?"

"Ma Lu." Malu pointed at himself and then at Old Wang, "Old Wang." The strong man twitched his nose twice, and first glanced at Old Wang, "Mechanical life?" Then he looked at Malu, "Earth Human? This combination is quite strange, that pigeon actually wants you to come here."

“Because we were going to open a restaurant together, he said you could help us. Oh, by the way, a little girl came to buy some urgently needed expansion screws just now. You were not in the store at that time, so I collected the money for you.”

 Ma Lu pointed to the four coins on the counter.

The strong man looked at the money and asked, "How many did she buy?"

 “Four.”

"It's too much, two yuan is enough. For this kind of neighborhood store, reputation is the most important. I'll go and give it back to her first, and we'll talk when we get back." The strong man picked up two coins and was about to go out.

“Uh, do you want me to describe her appearance first, or look at the surveillance camera.”

"No, her smell hasn't dissipated yet, I know who it is." Before the strong man finished speaking, he had already walked out of the store.

 Five minutes later he came back again and the coin in his hand had disappeared.

 “You found her.”

"Well. I don't think I have introduced myself yet. Recently, my name is Yan Wu, or if you find it troublesome, you can just call me boss. Others are too lazy to remember my name and call me that."

 “Um, do you change your name often?”

“According to the frequency of you earthlings, it’s not particularly frequent. I usually change it only once every one hundred and twenty years. Any longer than that and it’s a bit unscientific.”

"ha?"

Ma Lu looked at Yan Wu, who didn't seem to be joking, so he said, "May I ask how old you are now?"

"I actually don't remember much. I came to this planet two thousand years ago." Yanwu said, "I remember you were still in the Western Han Dynasty at that time. What was the name of that emperor, Liu Kun?"

To prove what he said, Yan Wu lowered his head and rummaged through his pile of parts and tools for a while, and finally found a glass photo frame and gave it to Ma Lu.

 Inside is an old yellowed photo.

 “Look, this is the royal palace.”

Ma Lu was shocked when he heard this, "Were there photos from the Western Han Dynasty?"

"No, no, it's not that far away. It must have been the 29th year of Guangxu's reign. I was ordered to go to the Forbidden City to help with the sewerage." Yanwu pointed to the burly man holding a rake in the photo and said, "This is me."

After speaking, he pointed to the side. An old woman wearing jewelery and carrying a big flag stood in a group of palace maids with a strong momentum, "This is Yehenala."

Ma Lu took a breath, "So you have lived for more than two thousand years, and you have been working on hardware. Are you the legendary Hardware Immortal?"

"No, no, I'm not an immortal, I'm just a werewolf." Yan Wu grinned.

As Yanwu uttered these words, the temperature in the hardware store seemed to have dropped a few degrees.

"Ah, don't worry. I can't transform except on full moon nights. I'm no different from ordinary people. And on full moon nights, I usually stay at home and watch the latest movies, soldering iron sheets to pass the time. "

 “Then what do you usually eat?”

 “I will eat whatever you eat.”

Yanwu scratched his beard, "But when you put it this way, it seems that I haven't eaten any delicious food in a long time. This place is not within the scope of the major leagues, and it is difficult to get high-end ingredients. Even if you can get it, there will be no one." It can be done, but it will be wasted. In the final analysis, it is because there is no space chef."

It will be on the shelves tomorrow, please order first~
