Chapter 253: Gather a complete set of service personnel and get a free lottery draw?
"Wow~ Tongzi, the cost price you're offering is really a bargain... You're not even charging me for the creative ideas in the dishes, are you?"
When Bai Mengran compared the prices of the two, she found that the difference was not significant, indicating that the price was clearly offered to her at cost.
【Hmm~ I'll give you the host whatever price the Chef God System offers!】
However, the host can sell it for a higher price so that it can level up faster!
After listening, Bai Mengran thought for a moment and then said, "I understand. Okay then, Tongzi, we'll price the affordable dishes at three times the cost, and change the last digit to 8 for good luck!"
She looked closely and saw that the cost price of vegetarian dishes for home-style cooking started at 6 system coins, while stir-fried dishes started at least at 10 system coins...
With a price that is about three times higher than the market average, the target audience is generally quite broad.
As for the premium dishes, there are currently forty unlocked, divided into two categories: "Twenty Masterpieces of Ink Painting" and "Twenty Delicacies of Ink Poetry," each containing twenty premium dishes.
白梦冉索性不再纠结于成本，直接根据菜品的档次和特色，分档定价为88、128、188、268、328、388、588……888等一系列价格。
However, despite the restaurant being divided into sections, there were no restrictions on the ordering process.
Customers can freely choose between affordable and gourmet dishes based on their own preferences and budget, without being limited to a particular area.
With that, the prices for all the dishes were finally settled.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Mengran quickly opened the [General System Shop] and found the [Talent System] with practiced ease.
"Handsome uncle, come on, grandma! I'm here to hire more waiters~~~"
Bai Mengran casually greeted Ai Qu'a, the talent consultant who always appeared automatically on the left side of the interface.
He then ignored what the other person said and just kept unlocking things.
With such a large-scale restaurant about to open, Bai Mengran spared no expense in hiring increasingly expensive service professionals.
She unlocked from 38 to 50 in one go, finally unlocking all the seats on the entire service-oriented talent interface.
The moment the number "fifty" was unlocked, a dazzling flower-sprinkling effect appeared on the screen.
Immediately afterwards, a turntable suddenly popped out and began to spin rapidly...
Congratulations! You have successfully collected a complete set of "Service Talents". We will now randomly select one [Top Talent] as a reward. The selection is currently underway...
"Oh? I didn't expect to get such a pleasant surprise from spending money in the [Talent System]!"
Bai Mengran couldn't help but ask the system in surprise.
[That's right, this reward is an extra gift from the 'Talent System' to the host, and it doesn't conflict with the mission rewards. Best of luck to the host!]
The system popped up a message, answering her question.
Bai Mengran was about to ask who these top talents were when she saw the screen was about to stop flashing. She immediately held her breath and stared intently at the screen, waiting for the result.
Congratulations! You have been selected as one of the "Top Singing and Dancing Performance Talents"!
This person is highly accomplished in the performing arts, proficient in various performance styles, versatile, knowledgeable in both ancient and modern times, and can be called an all-rounder in the performing arts.
Whether it's popular or traditional and modern singing styles, she can handle all kinds of vocal techniques with ease; she can also play any type of instrument and perform any kind of dance with superb skill.
The reward has been sent to your [Employee] category. Please check it promptly.
Subsequently, the first set of service-oriented professionals was assembled.
The screen effects flashed, and then it jumped to a new unlock screen, where you could start a new round of unlocking with 1000 system coins.
However, Bai Mengran has already unlocked thirteen waiters, and with the ones who were previously free, she can still free up at least five or six more waiters, which should be enough manpower for the soon-to-open Chinese restaurant.
After all, the system also has a large number of ordinary service staff, and these people only need to be divided into regions and managed in a coordinated manner.
Thinking of this, Bai Mengran stopped what she was doing and hurriedly exited the current interface to check for new talents.
After naming the characters from 38 to 50, she pulled out a still from a classic palace drama on her phone.
The system carefully selected those actresses whose images are deeply ingrained in people's minds, and also specially selected their early, youthful stills, and imported them to generate these thirteen "Empress Waitresses".
"Hehe, let Fat Orange's entire harem make up the numbers and serve as our restaurant's beautiful waitresses!"
"I hope the ladies can step up their game and properly 'train' those ordinary employees~"
Bai Mengran was having a great time playing pranks, watching as thirteen employees were being generated.
She returned to the [Employees] interface, focusing her attention on the "top singing and dancing performance talent" she had just drawn.
At this point, the character's appearance has not yet been generated and can be freely customized.
Now, Bai Mengran was really in a dilemma. With so many singing and dancing stars, which one should she identify with?
Suddenly, the image of a certain "Sweetheart Queen" popped into Bai Mengran's mind.
Recalling how, after she became a viral sensation again, countless domineering CEOs turned into devoted fans waving glow sticks...
Even during concerts, they went to great lengths to achieve higher quality direct shots!
"Hehe, let's wait and see if the Sweetheart Queen can capture the hearts of the ancient domineering CEOs..."
Bai Mengran laughed mischievously to herself, then, with a wicked and playful attitude, confirmed the character's appearance, set the gender as "female," and named her "Sweetheart."
"System, please quickly create my ancient version of the Sweetheart Queen!"
[…Okay, host, generating for you…]
The system witnessed the host's sly expression as he selected characters throughout the entire process, and it felt a chill run down its spine. What was the host planning to do...?
"Tongzi, once all the staff are ready, please send them all to the Chinese restaurant. I need to go check on things there now."
After Bai Mengran finished setting everything up, she left the rest to the system.
She hurried out, her heart filled with joy, heading to the "Unforgettable Chinese Restaurant," eager to see what it was all about.
[Okay, host. By the time you arrive at the store, all the employees should be here.]
"That's perfect! Let's try to open the doors to welcome our guests at 11:08 sharp!"
[The host has the final say.]
In the blink of an eye, Bai Mengran had already hurried past the "Unforgettable Western Restaurant" again, stepping into a completely new place she had never been before.
On one side of the Western restaurant, a high wall stands like a screen, completely concealing the adjacent Chinese restaurant.
On the wall near the Western restaurant, there is an abstract night scene painting resembling Van Gogh's "Starry Night," with unrestrained and bold brushstrokes that are visually striking.
This mural complements the galaxy-themed Western restaurant perfectly, creating a harmonious and seamless whole.
This wall completely conceals the completed restaurant behind it; unless you get close and look closely, it's hard to tell that there's a whole different world behind the wall.
Bai Mengran had a clear goal, so she didn't stop walking and went straight through the high wall that stood between the two restaurants with very different styles.
As she stepped over the barrier and came to the back of the wall, the scene before her eyes instantly changed, as if she had been transported from a romantic and mysterious country to a picturesque scene of ancient Jiangnan gardens...
