Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

Chapter 114 The 114th Day of Wanting to Be a Lazy Person

"Alright, I apologize for taking up your time, gentlemen. Please forgive me. We'll bring you a snack shortly. Now, please follow me. This way, please." Seeing the two shake their heads, the welcoming robot led Xiri Ahong and Xiao Wenxi to a window seat.

The buildings here are not close together. Every planet has plenty of land and few people, so land is not scarce and there is no need to worry.

Therefore, there is an alley or road about five meters wide between each house, and the light from both sides can enter the restaurant through the window openings.

However, although the window appears to be openwork, a closer look reveals that both the inside and outside are made of transparent glass. This glass is adjustable and can usually be hidden, making it seem as if nothing is there, just like having the window open.

"Gentlemen, the window is currently hidden, allowing access between the inside and outside. If you need any adjustments, please let me know now. You can either call a waiter directly, or press the bell-shaped pattern to call a waiter, or adjust it yourself using the window-shaped pattern." The welcoming robot introduced the various colors on the table, yet the white patterns blended harmoniously with the wooden table.

"This book pattern is our menu. Clicking it will bring up a holographic screen with the names of the dishes, ingredients, and some related tips. You can choose to use text or voice. If you have trouble choosing, the three dots in the upper right corner provide a recommendation function."

If you have any questions about the dishes on the menu, you can click the question mark in the lower left corner of the menu, and a human customer service representative or an intelligent customer service system will answer your questions. For first-time customers, the welcoming robot will explain all the important information in detail, and all stores will update customer information in real time.

Of course, this information only refers to appearance, name, computer ID, and dietary restrictions. All of these have been agreed upon by the individual, and their intended use has been confirmed with the customer. Both parties will sign an agreement.

The store will only disclose this information in its own customer information to make it easier for customers to have a better experience in different stores. After all, no one can stay in the same place for 10,000 years, right?

If I had to ask that question every time I went to the store, just thinking about it makes me...

Otherwise, why would people say that the Li Group had a good attitude, considering even these things?

Signing the agreement is also for the benefit of the customers, and also to help the Li Group avoid some unnecessary troubles and some privacy laws.

Name, appearance, and personal information such as computer number are all considered personal privacy. It is illegal to disclose or publish such information without the individual's consent, unless the individual agrees or does not pursue the matter. Otherwise, legal procedures must be followed.

Not to mention dietary restrictions; one must always be wary of others. Even in interstellar environments with good social order, one must be aware of protecting oneself when out in the world.

"The pattern on this cup represents a beverage. You can click to purchase it if needed. Drinking water is free. There are also text and voice instructions on it. This is a plate with patterns of knives, forks, spoons, and chopsticks on it. It's for choosing cutlery." The welcoming robot then explained the patterns on the table.

The wooden table not only has white grain patterns on the same level as the table, but also text markings with regular raised dots, which look like Braille.

"Gentlemen, would you please take a look at this agreement? Our restaurant needs some basic information about you to provide you with better service." After explaining the function of the patterns on the table, the welcoming robot pulled up an agreement from its display screen and gestured for the two guests to review it.

Xi Ri Hong and Xiao Wenxi carefully looked through the information and found no problems. They happily filled in the four pieces of information. As for dietary restrictions, the two were puzzled for a moment. After the welcoming robot explained it in detail, they filled in "none".

Neither of them are picky eaters, because in the past there were only various flavors of nutritional drinks available, and their physical examinations did not reveal any food aversions or indigestion issues, so they filled in "none" for the time being.

Both of them were already in secondary school, so they could understand these simple agreements. Some primary schools even have courses on laws and regulations, and courses on moral character are offered as soon as students enter school, from primary school all the way to university, and are compulsory courses.

Moreover, it is only four pieces of information, no more than four. And only the person who filled in the information can see them, which also avoids the leakage of privacy of customers dining in the lobby.

"Mr. Xiri Ahong, Mr. Xiao Wenxi, is there anything else you two guests need?" After the two filled out the information, the robot's display screen changed back to a smiling emoticon.

"No, thank you." Xiao Wenxi and Xiri Ahong were already looking at the menu when they heard the welcoming robot's words. They turned to it, shook their heads, and thanked it.

"Okay, gentlemen, enjoy your meal." The welcoming robot bowed respectfully to the two men, then stepped back a little before turning away from their table and returning to the doorway to continue its work.

Actually, what's called a welcoming robot is just a waiter; its task is to guide guests. However, StarCraft doesn't currently have the concept of waiters. The welcoming robot is just one type of robot; there are other different types of robots that can be purchased or customized.

Xiao Wenxi and Xi Ri Ahong couldn't help but swallow hard as they looked at the delicious-looking dishes on the menu, then continued flipping through the pages, occasionally picking out a dish.

This recipe book only includes all the dishes that Li Xingyu has posted so far, about fifty in total, as well as hot pot, breakfast items, etc. However, it will be updated according to the speed and time that Li Xingyu produces recipes and the chefs learn.

"Okay, that's enough for now. We probably won't be able to finish more than that. Although we offer takeout service and have storage space, it doesn't feel quite right." Xiao Wenxi said, looking at the two of them who had already ordered five or six dishes, including meat, vegetables, and a soup.

The menu offers a recommendation service, specially designed for those who have difficulty making choices or are first-time customers. The two hesitated for a while, then felt they wanted to try every dish, and finally chose the smart recommendation.

So the two of them have already submitted their food order. When selecting and adding dishes, the prices are displayed directly, and they will be shown again when submitting the order, and then the payment will be processed.

The bill was paid by Xiri Ahong. As a Uyghur boy from New South Wales, Xiri Ahong is a true northerner of the planet Earth. Although a long time has passed, his warm and hospitable nature seems to be etched into his bones.

Whenever Xiri Ahong is around, he will insist on paying the bill, and he maintains an unusually resistant attitude towards splitting the bill.

But since they're all friends, it's impossible for one person to pay the bill every time. So Xiao Wenxi and her other friends had no choice but to force Xi Ri Ahong to take turns paying the bill. If they couldn't split the bill, then they would have to take turns.

They are good friends, not parasites who only know how to freeload. Even if you're going to take advantage of someone, you can't take advantage of just one person, let alone classmates who are still in school.

Adolescent boys maintain the most sincere and enthusiastic attitude towards those they consider their own, which is a rare and precious emotion that should be cherished and treasured.

All relationships, whether they are friendships, platonic relationships, familial relationships, or romantic relationships, require careful maintenance. You can't just take things for granted without giving anything in return, or you will lose that relationship forever.

While waiting for their food, Xiao Wenxi and Xi Ri Ahong discussed the restaurant, which was quite novel to them, while preparing their tableware and drinking water.

Cutlery is a must, and drinking water is recommended by the ordering system because the dishes they ordered contained chili peppers.

Since it was their first time trying it out, and both of them are people who listen to advice, we followed the system's recommendations. We'll give our feedback after they've tried it.

The menu not only lists the names of the dishes and their ingredients, but also their corresponding energy values ​​for reference, because the nutrient solutions consumed by the interstellar people are graded and their effects are determined by energy content.

No matter what you do, a transition is always needed when making any change. Now, with the help and request of the alliance, the Li family has become the leader.

The alliance carefully selected the Li Group. They had tried many times to help interstellar people return to normal life, but to no avail. Now that the opportunity had presented itself, they were determined to seize it.

While the energy intake from food can be measured by any energy testing instrument, the energy required by different races, bloodlines, or even different abilities or mental strengths is not publicly available.

This information was initially collected by the Alliance to create the most suitable nutrient solution for different races, but it was exploited by some scoundrels whose brains had been eaten by alien beasts, almost causing irreparable damage.

Then the Alliance used Tian Shu to clean up the data and some information leaked from the StarNet, locking up the data on energy intake and conversion of various races, which required certain permissions to view.

The ordering system recommends that two people only need to order three dishes and one soup. Although both of them need energy to grow, these dishes have a lot of energy and quantity. Three dishes and one soup are just right for two people and there will be no waste.

After selecting their preferred flavors and ingredients, the ordering system recommended the following dishes to the two of them: braised pork belly, stir-fried beef, hot and sour shredded potatoes, and corn and pork rib soup.

Because the two of them chose their tastes randomly, the raw materials were chosen by Nishiri Ahong, who preferred "meat".

In fact, if you pay attention, you can deduce a lot of information from a person's daily food. This is one of the reasons why the alliance carefully selects companies. The alliance itself does not have companies; only the research department and the resource department are open to external transactions.

Prior to this, only the Resources Department was profitable, while the Research Department had always been losing money, but it couldn't afford not to, as the importance of science and technology was self-evident.

The alliance's main operating funds come from taxes collected by the tax authorities: value-added tax, property tax, income tax, resource tax, business tax, etc.

Although the economy of interstellar space has not recovered, it has a large population and many businesses, not to mention other things.

Moreover, most interstellar dwellers don't have many expenses these days. Apart from watching live streams, buying houses, vehicles, energy, and food, they basically have no other expenditures.

That's why the alliance is so eager to restore some things, at least to enrich the spiritual world of the interstellar people. Li Xingyu's live broadcast room is a good entry point.

However, we can't place all our hopes on Li Xingyu. She's still a newborn baby. There are so many adults here for her. She can just do what she likes.

What Li Xingyu didn't know was that many relevant departments of the alliance had sent staff to observe her live stream.

The number of time accelerators and time stoppers used in Food China is quite large, which is one of the results of the Alliance's implicit support.

Another notable result is that the Li Group now operates Shiwei Huaxia restaurants and small eateries in every corner of the interstellar world.

In less than five minutes, Xiao Wenxi and Xi Ri Ahong's food was served. While waiting for the food, the two of them had already drunk two glasses of water.

It wasn't that they couldn't drink juice or dairy products, but the aroma of the food in the restaurant had whetted their appetites, and hunger was overwhelming them.

Drinking plain water is just a subconscious decision, because it's free and it's the first option available.

The three dishes and one soup were served at the same time as a large bowl of white rice and a plate of corn fritters with golden corn kernels and white sugar, all placed on the table.

"Hmm... let me see. This is rice, which is said to be the staple food, and it's eaten with these dishes. This complimentary item, which combines corn and white sugar, is called corn pancake. It's said to be a dessert to be eaten after the meal. Let's try each one individually first, and then eat them together, okay?" Xiao Wenxi glanced at the menu that hadn't been put away yet, and the first page was an explanation of rice.

Rice: Image.

Raw materials: Wannian tribute rice (Yangzhou), drinking water (Yangzhou).

Note: This dish is a main course and is served with other dishes. It is a special dish that is automatically paired with other dishes. After ordering, you can have unlimited refills when dining in (eating in the restaurant). When taking it away, it will be automatically paired with other dishes. It can be purchased separately for two Star Coins (one pound of rice, about three bowls, the average amount of food for an average adult male).

The menu has scanning and search functions to prevent customers from having to flip through the menu page by page when they are curious, on a whim, or for other reasons to check the ingredients of the dishes.

The complimentary corn fritters came with a small, elegant card that read "Corn Fritters" on a plate, making it easy to identify the dish. After all, for novel items, especially dishes where some ingredients look very similar, scanning isn't always 100% accurate, so the dish name is crucial.
