Protagonist:

Lu Feng

After speaking, he quietly waited for the system's response, unable to help feeling a little nervous inside.

Actually, he also had a premonition that the system would probably not compromise, but he still held onto a bit of hope.

【The host can purchase online, or read using PDF-format e-book documents, and can still complete the task.】

This time the system did not make a mechanical response again, but seriously thought of a solution for Lu Feng.

Listening to the system's prompt just now, Lu Feng's brain spun quickly.

The solution the system told him, he had actually thought of long ago.

This solution could indeed let him complete this task, but Lu Feng still had a small scheme in his heart.

Just now he deliberately threatened the system saying he would give up the task, but actually he was not serious.

How could he possibly give up the task so easily just because he couldn't buy an out-of-print book?

This time's reward was still a Cuisine Fragment, and he really wanted it.

After all, the previous few times he had negotiated nicely with the system, what he got was the system's cold mechanical response, which made him feel a little bit of dissatisfaction in his heart.

Since the system had now agreed to help him think of a solution, it showed that this system was actually not as mechanically cold as Lu Feng had always thought, and when he encountered difficulties, it would still be reasonable.

Since that was the case, if he didn't get some benefits from Chen Qi, wouldn't that be a pity?

"System, I of course know the solution you mentioned."

Lu Feng silently cried poor to the system in his heart: "But where is buying books online more cost-effective than offline? Today the bookstore has a discount event, and I have a VIP card to stack promotions, originally I could save quite a bit of money, you doing this clearly just wants me to spend more wasted money!"

"System, do you know how hard I work running the shop every day? When open for business every day I'm busy until I can't even close my mouth, is earning money easy for me?"

The system in his mind fell silent for a while.

If the system were a person, at this moment its heart would probably also be somewhat on the verge of collapse.

Never seen such a difficult-to-serve Host!

【Considering the losses the host may bear upon completing the task, after this system task is completed, system reward lucky draw count +1.】

Success!

Lu Feng almost couldn't help but laugh out loud, and instantly felt his mood become cheerful.

Actually with his current income, and the seven-figure balance in his bank card.

The small promotion in the bookstore plus the VIP card stacked promotion, the money saved couldn't even count as one hair off nine oxen.

But after his parents passed away, Lu Feng lived alone, and the habit of thrift and frugality in Yangcheng made him feel that "save if you can save" was a happy thing.

Moreover, this time he successfully made the system make a concession, and after completing this task, he could draw one more Cuisine Fragment, this time he really made a killing.

After receiving the system's compensation, Lu Feng's mood became much better.

When his mood improved, his thoughts also became clear.

He planned to first move all the cookbooks he could find in this bookstore back, and after reading them go to the two bookstores in the west of the city to look.

According to Lu Feng's knowledge, although those two bookstores could not compare in scale with this one, there were also quite a few books inside, maybe he could find some more.

And maybe there would also be promotion events in other bookstores, after all, fewer and fewer people read paper books now, and in some places books were often sold by the pound.

After the bookstores in Jiangcheng were browsed through, the remaining books could be found online, this way he could also save quite a bit of money.

Saying do and then doing it, Lu Feng said to the short-haired staff member who was scanning the books one by one at the counter with fast speech: "Put these books here first, I'll go pick some more, we'll settle the bill together later!"

The short-haired staff member's movement paused for a moment, looked at the tall stack of books on the counter, and her eyes widened: "Sir, you want to buy more? Are you taking these back to read yourself, or to sell?"

"I'm reading them myself, these are not enough, I want to learn more."

Lu Feng turned back and waved at the short-haired staff member, not waiting for her to speak again, he trotted toward the third floor.

In the next hour, Lu Feng carried out a large sweep in the cookbook section of the bookstore.

When walking out of the gate of the bookstore, Lu Feng had an extra heavy large box full of books in his hand.

If not for the system strengthening his physical fitness, plus the exercise during this period, such a large box of books he could not move by himself at all.

But now he only felt his arms were a bit heavy, while his steps were still very light.

Returning to the parking lot, Lu Feng stuffed the box into the trunk of the Maybach, and drove toward the villa with a full harvest.

…………

At exactly four in the afternoon, Lu Feng's Maybach steadily parked in the parking lot next to Food Street.

After entering the restaurant, he went straight to the back kitchen, preparing for today's business.

The ingredients ordered from the System Mall had already been transmitted to the Storage Room, neatly stacked on the shelves.

Lu Feng pushed open the door of the Storage Room, and subconsciously glanced at the Glass Wall Cabinet in the corner.

In the Glass Wall Cabinet in the corner of the Storage Room, the artemisia inside still looked as fresh and tender as when he saw it yesterday.

Lu Feng walked over and opened the cabinet door, a fresh grass fragrance surged out instantly, thread by thread.

Plus the tender green color of the artemisia, it made people's mood become cheerful too.

Yesterday because it was too late, Lu Feng hadn't had time to carefully observe the artemisia in the sink, so he bent down to look carefully.

The water in the sink was extremely clear, and under the action of the water pipe at the bottom, it was slowly circulating.

Row after row of artemisia stood neatly in the sink, height and thickness basically the same, each standing straight.

The white fine hair roots of the artemisia in the water grew evenly and dispersed respectively, not tangled together at all.

The artemisia's bottom light green gradually changed to the top's tender green, the leaves were tender as if water could be pinched out, the edges had small serrations.

Lu Feng couldn't help but reach out and touch the leaves, a cool sensation came from his fingertips, the leaves swayed slightly a few times.

The reed shoots bought from the System Mall indeed looked far better than those on the market; one glance showed they were incomparably fresh.

Lu Feng nodded in satisfaction, gently closed the glass cabinet door, and then began organizing the ingredients needed for today's business.

Before long, the sound of running water and chopping rose from the Lu Family Restaurant's kitchen, crisp and rhythmic.

When there was still half an hour before today's business hours, Hu Xiaoyun's cheerful voice came from the Lu Family Restaurant's door.

"Boss, I'm here!"

"Xiao Yun, new dishes are coming out today; remember to help me write them on the wall with a brush later."

Lu Feng poked his head out from the kitchen and said a sentence to Hu Xiaoyun, who had just walked into the shop.

Hearing this, Hu Xiaoyun subconsciously turned her head to look at the price list on the wall, and sure enough saw the new dishes Lu Feng had written on beforehand in pencil.

"Boss, there are three new dishes in total this time?"

Hu Xiaoyun called out with some surprise and delight.

These past few days the shop had not released any new dishes, and every day quite a few diners came to ask.

Now the shop suddenly had three more dishes at once; presumably those diners would be very happy once they found out.

Just seeing the prices of these three new dishes, Hu Xiaoyun smiled helplessly.

Worthy of the Boss's pricing — still a single word: expensive.
