Universe Infinite Canteen

Malu opened at 5pm, and before 8pm, all 200 portions of the Extreme Flavor Storm Dongpo Pork were sold out. The remaining dishes were sold out within half an hour.

If you count the time spent in line, people who came after 7pm would not be able to eat Dongpo Pork.

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

After the last customer left, Malu calculated today's income, a total of 113,276. Then he called Xiao Snail and Wu Peipei, who worked part-time in the store, to settle their wages for last week.

Because the two had to go to class, they could only pick their free time to do odd jobs. One worked for 18 hours and the other worked for 24 hours. At an hourly wage of 50 yuan per hour, they made 900 and 1,200 yuan respectively.

Malu directly transferred the money to them via WeChat at double the amount, "The extra money can be considered a bonus."

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

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

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

After giving gold coins to employees, Mr. Ma certainly would not treat himself badly.

He dialed a number quickly.

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

Choosing a car is like choosing a girlfriend, it is easy to make people dazzled.

Especially the cars in the price range of about 500,000 yuan, which are basically fat and thin, each with its own unique skills.

Some have a cool appearance, some have good chassis quality, some are excellent in intelligence, some have a good driving experience, some have sofas, color TV + large refrigerator, and the riding experience is full, and some... have labels.

It is not easy to make a choice among them, so Malu first eliminated the gasoline car by elimination.

In addition to responding to the national call for energy conservation and emission reduction, it is mainly because the development of new energy has been very rapid in recent years. Compared with gasoline cars of the same level, it has given a lot.

Not only are the functions that traditional luxury cars need to pay for, such as 360 reversing images, seat ventilation, and steering wheel heating, standard, but also more generous materials, solid body structure, active and passive safety, more ferocious power, and smoother car machines...

Really usable automatic parking, assisted driving, one-button summoning and other fashionable small functions are also emerging in an endless stream, and energy consumption and tuning have also made great progress.

Among the new energy, Malu prefers pure electric rather than extended range or hybrid. This is mainly because only pure electric is not restricted in City B. It is also a pain to buy a car and not be able to drive it someday.

After defining the scope of pure electric, Malu sorted out his needs. First of all, he still has some requirements for space, because when opening a restaurant, it is inevitable that there will be a need to pull goods, so the trunk cannot be too small.

Then the car should have some business attributes, after all, he is now a businessman. In addition to these two points, Malu also hopes that the battery life is long enough, and the CLTC must be at least 800 or more, so that in winter, it can run at least 400 kilometers at a 50% discount. If you don’t run long distances, charging once a week is almost enough.

Looking at it this way, Malu feels that 09 is the most suitable. He is even ready to place an order. As a result, one night, he and Lao Wang took advantage of the dead of night to go out for a walk on No. 6.

Passing by a small house next to the community, Lao Wang suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Malu asked.

"There is a lot of energy stored here." Lao Wang stared at the small house in front of him.

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

At this point, he suddenly stopped, and a light bulb flashed in his mind.

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

Compared with rental houses, restaurants have more power, and the charging time can be shortened accordingly, but it is necessary to ensure the normal operation of lighting, air conditioners, refrigerators, and various kitchen appliances, so there is not much power left.

Lao Wang now has an increased workload, and he runs the restaurant kitchen alone, which consumes electricity faster, so he now charges more times a week than before, and the charging time is longer.

Malu feels that he spends almost half of his time in front of the socket, and if he wants to improve this situation, he has to find a more efficient way to recharge for Lao Wang.

He actually first targeted supercharging piles. Those supercharging piles for recharging new energy are widely distributed in urban areas, and the power is large enough. The common ones are basically above 120kw, and the highest peak power can even reach 600kw.

But there is also a problem with supercharging, which is that it is easy to be seen by others. After all, supercharging piles are built in open areas, and they are definitely not available during the day. According to Malu's observation, even in the early morning, there will be sporadic online ride-hailing cars charging there.

But if it is a battery swap, 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. It does not affect Malu's car use, and the energy replenishment efficiency is greatly improved.

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

Thinking of this, Malu changed his mind again and finally ordered es8.

He deliberately chose a 100-degree large battery, and then basically maxed out all the optional configurations. Counting various discounts, it landed at about 600,000, which exceeded the budget a little, but it was not a big problem.

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

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

And 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, she had a veil on her face and gloves on her hands.

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

Because apart from idol stars, few people would wrap themselves up so tightly, but she was obviously smaller than An Qi and thinner.
