Luo Yunshi and Shen Yilan brought the dishes to the fast-food restaurant and stored them on the replicator, setting the prices. They adjusted the meat-to-vegetable ratio in the lunchboxes to 1:1 and placed them on a table facing the television.
The fast-food restaurant had only been open for a few days. When the system upgraded to Level 2, Luo Yunshi found it troublesome and hadn't made any adjustments. Now, with the system at Level 3, Luo Yunshi decided to correct anything that needed correcting promptly.
Although the food from the replicator was very cost-effective, she decided not to allow customers to choose only meat for their lunchboxes anymore.
Luo Yunshi thought that the price of lunchboxes could be set slightly lower, or even the same as before the apocalypse. Otherwise, if they ate too much cheap food, some people would inevitably become insatiable and try to take even more advantage. Besides, as the saying goes, a small kindness can be repaid with immense gratitude, but a larger kindness can lead to resentment.
Another reason was to prevent the lunchbox prices from falling below normal levels, which could affect other shops in the future.
This was because as soon as Luo Yunshi walked into the fast-food restaurant, a new function for unlocking shops appeared in her mind.
With 300,000 points, she could unlock a seafood restaurant. With 500,000 points, she could unlock a fried chicken shop. As the points increased, more shops would be unlocked later.
Luo Yunshi introduced some new individual dishes, each portion weighing between 300 and 400 grams.
Braised pork: 30 points per plate.
Sweet and sour pork pieces: 30 points per plate.
Garlic crayfish: 30 points per plate.
Lean meat and vegetable congee (400g): 3 points.
Fried egg: 1 point per egg.
She also bought a pound of oranges on Tuan Tuan You Xuan. She put 200 grams of it into the replicator.
This increased the variety of fruits available in lunchboxes, offering some opportunities for the poor to enhance their strength and gain special abilities.
If anyone felt that the fruit wasn't enough, they could also purchase it from the Walmar self-service supermarket on the second floor, though the supermarket's items lacked spiritual energy.
Luo Yunshi had checked, and the supplies in the self-service supermarket were infinite. Although there were no household appliances, there was a wide variety of snacks, beverages, vegetables, fruits, and meat, which would be more than enough in the apocalypse.
"Let's cook in the fast-food restaurant's kitchen again tomorrow. Otherwise, carrying things back and forth is quite troublesome!" Luo Yunshi said to Shen Yilan.
"Okay, Sister Luo," Shen Yilan nodded with a smile.
Luo Yunshi noticed that Liu Lingqiu had entered the 200-meter radius of the fast-food restaurant. Although it was still a few minutes before 9 o'clock, she chose to open for business.
Instantly, the red plaque of Haoyunlai Fast Food lit up. The words "Walmar Supermarket" on the second floor were also very prominent.
"Wow! Captain Liu, look at Haoyunlai Fast Food! How did it become a two-story building overnight? And there's a supermarket on top." A man in the team pointed at the fast-food restaurant in front of them and exclaimed repeatedly.
"My goodness! This is incredible! Boss Luo is truly a remarkable person."
Liu Lingqiu, with his higher-level abilities than everyone else, naturally saw it too. However, he was already accustomed to such things.
He had always known that Luo Yunshi was not an ordinary person. Although he had pinched her face last time and discovered she might not be an alien, it didn't mean she was an ordinary person. Perhaps... she was a cultivator from a novel?
Liu Lingqiu got out of the car and led his team into the shop.
"Good morning, everyone! Today, we have not only new dishes but also a supermarket on the second floor!" Luo Yunshi said with a smile to the dozen or so people entering the shop.
"Haha, Boss Luo, you're amazing!"
"A supermarket, that's great! Captain Liu, let's go check out the second floor later!"
"Okay, we'll go to the supermarket upstairs after we eat." Liu Lingqiu said as he walked towards the replicator.
Not only did his favorite braised pork appear on the replicator, but also new dishes like crayfish.
Liu Lingqiu was very happy. He turned and smiled at Luo Yunshi, then quickly ordered his food.
Today, he clearly bought more than yesterday, not only purchasing a lunchbox but also ordering a separate plate of crayfish, braised pork, and a bowl of congee.
Everyone was pleasantly surprised to see several new dishes added today.
Of course, some people noticed that the lunchboxes had changed from allowing free selection to a half-meat, half-vegetable ratio. However, everyone found it reasonable, as the price was cheap and it could increase their strength.
Liu Lingqiu took his ordered food and sat opposite Luo Yunshi. Luo Yunshi turned on the television mounted on the wall and chose to play a movie from a sci-fi world. Everyone enjoyed watching, and the fast-food restaurant was filled with laughter.
After eating, Luo Yunshi, Shen Yilan, and Liu Lingqiu's team also went to browse the supermarket on the second floor.
"Wow! Captain Liu, there are quite a few things in this supermarket! There's even Lao Gan Ma and canned fish. I've been craving these for a long time, but they never appeared on the self-service exchange machine before. Now I finally have a chance to buy some."
Everyone hadn't been to a supermarket in two years, and they were excited.
Luo Yunshi and Shen Yilan were also visiting this supermarket for the first time, but they only browsed and didn't buy anything.
Soon, more customers arrived at the fast-food restaurant downstairs.
Luo Yunshi, who was browsing the supermarket upstairs, soon heard an argument.
"You ungrateful wretch! I raised you for nothing! Is it too much to ask you to treat us, your parents, and your brother to a meal here? You're so ungrateful, what's the use of me giving birth to you."
Luo Yunshi went downstairs and saw a middle-aged woman in her fifties, with one hand on her hip and the other pointing at a girl in her mid-twenties, scolding her vehemently.
"Yeah! Sis, is it too much to ask you to treat us to a meal? Are you that stingy?"
"I'm stingy? If I were stingy, would I have paid for your university education? If I were stingy, would I have supported you and Mom and Dad during the apocalypse?
You have abilities too, so why don't you go on missions and kill zombies to earn food? It's been two years in the apocalypse, and you haven't done anything. The whole family relies on me!" the girl said, wiping away tears.
"I'm just a Level 2 ability user. It's already hard enough to support a family by myself! Why are you treating me like this? Mom, am I not your biological child?"
"He's your brother, how can you compare yourself to him? He still needs to get married and build a career, to continue our family line. You'll eventually get married and leave.
Besides, I raised you to be this old, isn't it your duty to support us? I see now, you think we old folks are old and useless, and you don't want to take care of us anymore! You unfilial daughter!" the middle-aged woman cried, beating her chest.
"Sis, why are you so selfish? We are all family, why are you calculating so much? Look at how upset you've made Mom." The man in his early twenties supported the middle-aged woman, his eyes filled with blame as he looked at the girl.
The middle-aged man standing beside them, also in his fifties, remained silent, just standing there watching, occasionally tugging at the girl's clothes, signaling her to stop talking.
"Dad, Mom! I told you, I can save up points to treat you to some good food, but you can't buy everything just because of that!
Don't you know how hard I work on missions? We don't have many points right now. Will we not live if we finish this meal?"
"What are you saying? What do you mean we won't live? It's just a matter of spending a few points. You have abilities, you can earn them. If you save a little, you'll have them! Why don't you borrow some from your friends?" the middle-aged woman continued.
People who had arrived on the same bus sat nearby, eating their lunchboxes and watching the spectacle.
This was much more exciting than any television show.
Luo Yunshi stood at the top of the stairs, looking at the scene with a speechless expression. She couldn't listen any longer and quickly stepped forward to intervene.
