Chapter 695: The Truth System of the Entertainment Industry (11)

Xie Yang was speechless.

As a salted fish who dreamed of nothing but ascending to the Immortal Realm to retire, she was one day unexpectedly spurred on by a Sub-system to complete one task after another. To make matters worse, the points and Truth Duration she earned weren't even for her own use.

The only consolation was: after selling stir-fried noodles and fried rice for ten days, and deducting the initial investment and the cost of ingredients, she had made a net profit of Wanyi!

And this was while limiting herself to only one hundred and fifty portions a day; any more would be a sign of disrespect toward the philosophy of healthy living.

On the first day of her break, Xie Yang slept until she woke up naturally, then carried her Wanyi and went to the city to shop.

She bought a set of cool, breathable summer clothes for both her father and mother, and picked up a few nutritional supplements suitable for summer nourishment. The department store had a free shipping service, so she filled out the information and sent them off on the spot.

She continued shopping, buying herself a thin athletic set, a cute sun hat, and a pair of sunglasses.

She had to go to the Walking Street to set up a stall and sell skincare products in a few days; she couldn't exactly recommend skin-whitening products to customers while sporting a sun-tanned face herself, could she? That wouldn't be easy to pull off.

By noon, she found a restaurant with a good reputation and enjoyed a beautiful meal of several signature dishes.

When she ate the signature cold dish—"Enzyme Kimchi"—Xie Yang had a thought.

It was said that Enzyme Kimchi had detoxifying, beautifying, whitening, and antioxidant effects. It wasn't difficult to make, and since she had diluted Spirit Spring Water, she could completely recreate a version of skin-beautifying kimchi that was even more effective than ordinary Enzyme Kimchi.

The Novice Sub-system offered a thoughtful reminder: 【Host, this task is to sell skin-beautifying products, not snacks.】

Xie Yang: "They are skin-beautifying products. Who says Enzyme Kimchi can't beautify skin? The task you issued didn't specify that they had to be topical, did it? Why couldn't they be edible?"

The Sub-system blinked; it seemed she was right!

【Host, you... are so smart!】

"That goes without saying."

Main System: 【...】

This foolish, cute little system was truly hard to watch.

Once it returned to the System Realm, it would definitely convince the Master Brain to thoroughly overhaul their intelligence parameters. Before the overhaul, they shouldn't be allowed out! It was too embarrassing for the System Realm!

Xie Yang did as she planned!

By evening, she returned to her rental with a batch of purchased jars and pots, along with a cart of Chinese cabbage and other ingredients.

It was just that the Chinese cabbage of this season was clearly not as delicious as that of the frost season. Fortunately, she had a pile of Chinese cabbage from the Smart Farm in her stockpile; each head weighed ten pounds, was crisp and sweet even when eaten raw, and would stay crisp and fresh for a year when made into kimchi.

She also took a few radishes from her stockpile. Enzyme Radish was just as delicious and beautifying.

She had all the ingredients for the enzyme series in her stockpile: Chinese cabbage, radishes, lemons, apples, pears, white vinegar, white sugar, Fish sauce, and purified water.

The white vinegar, white sugar, and Fish sauce came from the Processing Workshop.

In the later stages of the previous plane, as more workshops were unlocked in the Processing Workshop, the daily production of various daily necessities became too numerous to count.

Aside from what she regularly donated to the outside world, the cargo hold of the Cargo Flying Vehicle she had bought by spending all her points was also filled to the brim.

With the materials ready, she began tinkering in her rental with the Enzyme Kimchi she intended to sell as a skin-beautifying product.

The customers who were used to the rice noodles, noodles, and fried rice she cooked were curious and asked around when they saw she hadn't set up her stall for a few days:

"Where's the beautiful boss? Why isn't she coming anymore?"

"Did she go off to film something? I heard she's an extra; she only sets up a stall when there's no filming."

Because Xie Yang had told Wu Dajie next door before closing up on the last day, Wu Dajie knew she wouldn't be coming for these few days, though she didn't know if she would return later.

"Don't wait for her; she's taking a break for a few days."

Liu Jie had Xie Yang's contact information, so she knew a little: "She's going to the Walking Street to sell new products in a few days... I don't know what kind of new products, but they should be food."

Everyone assumed the beautiful boss was going to the Walking Street to sell fried rice in a few days, and they were puzzled:

"Will business be better at the Walking Street than here?"

"There are more tourists over there."

"The prices are also higher over there."

"No wonder she ran over there to set up; 15 per portion is indeed cheap. The boss probably felt embarrassed to raise the price, so she changed locations."

"That must be it."

That was what everyone guessed.

It wasn't until a few days later that they finally waited for Xie Yang to set up her stall, only to be shocked to find that not only had she changed locations, but the products she was selling had changed too!

"Beautiful boss, you're finally out! That's great! Huh? You're not selling fried rice anymore?"

"Kimchi? Pickled radishes? Boss, did you change your profession?"

"Boss, why are you only selling kimchi? Isn't this stuff meant to go with rice? Where's the rice? We want to eat rice!"

"Where did the stir-fried noodles and fried rice go?"

How could there be such a self-willed stall owner!

Xie Yang spread her hands: Don't blame me! I'm just an ordinary person completing tasks.

"How about this, I'll steam a pot of rice for you? You can eat it with the kimchi?"

Facing the accusatory gazes of the crowd, Xie Yang felt embarrassed. She borrowed an electric rice cooker from her cousin, took out a bag of rice under the cover of her tricycle cart, and cooked a pot of white rice on the spot.

The group of returning customers: "..."

Before eating, they thought it was pathetic!

Were they really that gluttonous? With snacks all over the street, they were actually squatting by the side of this unpredictable stall owner eating white rice with kimchi.

After eating—it was truly delicious!

Although the price wasn't cheap, 20 yuan per portion.

Whether it was cabbage, radish, long beans, tender ginger, or tender garlic, it was all 20 yuan per portion, and a portion was only about two taels.

"Boss, this kimchi is delicious, but the price is a bit expensive."

Xie Yang explained: "This is Enzyme Kimchi; it has detoxifying, beautifying, and skin-whitening effects. Furthermore, eating it regularly can also resist oxidation, lower blood lipids, and improve the body's immunity."

Besides, the ingredients and seasonings she used all came from the Smart Farm; every portion eaten was one less available. If it weren't for the sake of smoothly advancing her task, she wouldn't be willing to make it for sale.

A young lady with acne on her forehead immediately picked up her phone, scanned Xie Yang's payment code, and said: "When I traveled to Kimchi Country, I heard the locals say the same thing. But the kimchi you make is even more delicious, appetizing, and goes well with rice. Give me a pound!"

One jin is exactly one small jar.

Collect the money, 100 yuan received.

Just like that, Xie Yang's Enzyme Kimchi... no! Her beauty product business on Walking Street had opened!

On the first day, those who patronized her business were basically repeat customers from Snack Street; you bought one jin, I bought half a jin, and a total of twenty jin were sold, bringing in 2,000 yuan.

However, since the ingredients and seasonings used were all from her own stockpile, after estimating a rough cost and deducting the costs of various glass jars, plastic bags, and the like, the gross profit was about 1,400 yuan, which was about the same as selling fried rice.

But this was only the first day, with the factor of repeat customers showing their support included; tomorrow and the day after, if no one comes to give feedback on the effects of the Enzyme Kimchi, there might not be any repeat customers.

It's not like fried rice, where if you eat it once and think it's delicious, you'll come back for a second or third meal.

After all, kimchi is just an appetizer; who would eat it as a main dish every meal! Buying half a jin or a jin to take home, even if the whole family likes it, they wouldn't be able to finish it in three or five meals.

No wonder the reward for this Task was doubled; the difficulty is indeed much greater!
