Over the next few days, Gu Yingxue didn't add any new products but was able to sell an average of 1500 steamed buns per day.
On the last day selling steamed buns, she closed the stall thinking,
"What will be the next task?"
When she came home, she heard the family sound in her mind. She quickly looked at the translucent window that appeared in front of her.
[Ding]
[Congratulations, host, for completing the additional task!]
[Task Rewards: 1 million yuan, 100 points]
At the same time her phone rang. It was a notification from the bank.
[Your bank account has received a deposit of 1,000,000.00 yuan. Current Balance: 2,000,000.00 yuan]
"Wow! There is really 1 million yuan; now I have 2 million. So I can rest assured about Grandma's treatment."
Gu Yingxue thanks the system deep in her heart. She always wondered how the system was leveled up. Now she has the answer.
"Hmm! When I completed the first task, I got 100 points. Now I got another 100 points. That means I can level up!"
She quickly checked the level-up progress bar in the translucent window.
[Level 1: 200/200]
[Host, do you want to level up?"]
[Yes / No]
"Yes, of course!"
Gu Yingxue instantly clicked the "Yes" button. Since only she was leveled up, she can get a cure for her grandma; she has to level up.
[Congratulations, host, on leveling up!]
[Mystery Box x1 Rewarded!]
"Wow! So when the system is leveled up, I can receive a mystery box too. That's great."
"Let's open it; what could be in this mystery box?"
Once she tapped the gift box icon on the screen, it immediately showed the items in it.
[Congratulations, host, on obtaining lottery chance x1, 50 points, and super cleaning towel x1.]
"Cleaning towel?"
Gu Yingxue stares at the screen dumbfoundedly. Why did this system give a cleaning towel out of nowhere?
She clicked the icon of a cleaning towel.
[Super cleaning towel: One wipe can clean spotlessly; after cleaning, it gives the cleaned surface a mirror effect.]
"Wow! Is there such a miraculous effect? It was really great. Now I don't need to work hard on cleaning."
Then suddenly another sound rang.
[Ding]
[A new task has been issued. Host, please check the task panel. Gu Yingxue immediately opened the task panel.
[2nd Task: Sell at least 100 kg of braised meat within 7 days.]
[Task Duration: 7 days (Starting from next Monday)]
[Location: West City Food Street—Night Market]
[Task Reward: 500,000 yuan, Physical Fitness Enhancement Pill x1, Beauty Enhancement Pill x1]
[Accept / Reject]
Gu Yingxue instantly accepted the new task.
The next day, at West City Food Street,
As early in the morning, the food street began to bustle with breakfast stalls, the same as every day.
But today, the busiest place in the street was
just a closed-down stall without any familiar fragrances of steamed buns.
Even though the stall was still closed, the long line had spontaneously formed.
"What's going on? It's almost 6:30, and the boss still hasn't opened the stall?"
"Usually the boss opens the stall at 5:30 am, but why was she late? Did something happen to the boss?"
"Hey! Don't curse!"
"Sorry! Sorry! I didn't mean that!"
Feng Wei stood on tiptoe, peeking anxiously at the stall.
Li Yuhao, who was beside her, also seemed a little uneasy and said softly,
"Maybe something was going on today..."
"Let's wait and see."
The pancake stall owner next to Gu Yingxue's stall also looked at the Gu Yingxue stall time and thought,
"Why didn't that girl come today?"
Those nearby stall owners didn't have any malicious thoughts about Gu Yingxue's stall. Because when her stall sold out, the rest of the people who weren't able to buy steamed buns definitely came to their stall to buy breakfast. So they were also genuinely worried about her.
"I am telling you guys, you are really obsessed with steamed buns. You're already in line even though the stall is not yet open."
The pancake stall owner's words make the lined-up crowd burst into good-natured laughter.
"Of course! Sister, you don't know, boss's steamed buns are super delicious, and her skills are worth the wait!"
"Exactly! Once you taste the boss's steamed buns, you will dream of them every day."
Time passed second by second, and the food street became more crowded, but that familiar fragrance and familiar person never appeared.
The expectation on the faces of diners slowly turned into confusion and then into disappointment. And the atmosphere also had become somber.
"Is the boss not coming today?"
Wang Xia asked in a low voice.
These words were like a sharp knife, slicing down the last hope in everyone's hearts.
"Hey! Is this boss really not coming?"
"Why? Business is so good, good; can they just stop coming?"
Ji Ze sighed.
"Ever since I bought steamed buns for my daughter, she didn't like to eat other things at all. Now the boss didn't come! What can I do?"
After tasting Gu Yingxue's steamed buns, Zhou Moting didn't forget to go to Food Street to buy breakfast; if he couldn't come, then he let his students run errands.
Today he comes himself to buy breakfast, but the person didn't come.
Around 7:30 am the crowd gradually went off. Because of Gu Yingxue's absence, many of the other breakfast stalls also sold out for their first time.
But what they didn't expect was that Gu Yingxue didn't come the next two days either.
Meanwhile,
After receiving a new task, Gu Yingxue decided to get a good rest and also practice making braised meat.
She has 3 days of vacation, so she has lots of time to practice making braised meat, and also she decided to visit the temple with her grandma today.
Since the system has the best recipe for braised meat, she doesn't have to worry about it at all. Not only that, when a new task was issued, the system updated the stall kitchen with all the necessary kitchen items, especially the big iron pot.
She quietly stays at home and practices making braised meat. This will give Zhou Rouwei and LeLe an opportunity to taste Gu Yingxue's cooking every day. Sometimes, Zhou Rouwei kept some for his uncle too.
But they didn't eat just braised meat; Gu Yingxue made some other dishes that go well with it to adjust their diet.
Like that, those three days quickly went off. Now she was fully prepared to open the stall for her new task.
