Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 113 - 108: Tactics

After acquiring the Mother and Child Grass, Tang Yiyi followed the instructions in the data, using some every day. After some time, she indeed felt much stronger, and the system’s check on the fetus revealed that it was developing abnormally healthy and robust, with no signs of miscarriage whatsoever!

This result made Tang Yiyi incredibly excited. It’s important to know that even ordinary people have a risk of miscarriage nowadays, let alone a Superpower User! Otherwise, various research institutions wouldn’t be desperately trying to study effective stabilizing agents for pregnancy. Since unexpectedly getting pregnant with this child, she had been worried about not being able to keep it. Fortunately, her luck wasn’t bad; even when she was framed, injected with a Zombie Virus, and thrown into a dangerous place like Garbage Mountain, her child still survived tenaciously!

And now, the child has grown into a super foodie, getting greedier by the day! If it weren’t for the ant eggs and the Mother and Child Grass, the nutrition and energy in Tang Yiyi’s body wouldn’t be enough for the child to absorb. However, a well-developing child is definitely a good thing. Despite inwardly calling the child a "glutton" while touching her belly, Tang Yiyi continued to drink a cup of ant egg liquid mixed with Mother and Child Grass juice every day, ensuring the child had enough nutrition and energy.

At the same time, she redeemed several recipes, learning new dishes while processing a huge pile of "garbage" she bought. The edible parts were sealed in airtight storage boxes and placed into the System Backpack, while the leftover waste was synthesized into bio-fertilizer by the system. She mixed some into the nutritious soil to cultivate ornamental plants, and stored the rest in the System Backpack.

As days went by, the number of dishes Tang Yiyi could cook increased. Pang Zhi, who shamelessly stayed next door to her, along with Milk Tea and Pudding, enjoyed a feast every day. The ornamental plants that successfully sprouted and grew branches in the temporary planting room delighted Pang Zhi immensely!

Back then, when he and Tang Yiyi decided to use these ornamental plants as decorations for the Tang Family’s physical store, they were taking a great risk. If Tang Yiyi failed in her cultivation, they would either have to switch to other decorations or spend a large amount of money to buy plants cultivated by wood ability users from flower shops.

Now that Tang Yiyi’s attempts succeeded, they weren’t just saving a huge sum; there’s a huge business opportunity hidden in here!

Pang Zhi knew that Tang Yiyi was not a Wood Ability User, yet she could cultivate thriving ornamental plants in an amateurish mini-planting room. Once this kind of achievement spreads, it would cause quite a stir worldwide!

Moreover, the cultivation method she used would definitely attract countless people’s coveting!

Although she only cultivated ornamental plants, which have no practical use besides being looked at, rarity is considered valuable. Ornamental plants are more delicate compared to other plants; unless it’s a very professional cultivation institution or a Wood Ability User, others simply cannot cultivate thriving ornamental plants, not to mention whether they can keep them alive at all! This results in ornamental plants being coveted luxury items, with prices consistently high!

In such cases, once the news that Tang Yiyi could cultivate ornamental plants leaks out, it’s conceivable how frenzied others would become!

Especially, if you think a bit deeper, if even the delicate ornamental plants can be well cultivated, wouldn’t other plants be even easier to cultivate successfully?

Pang Zhi watched the ornamental plants in the mini-planting room gradually sprout and grow, their growth increasingly robust, almost so excited that he nearly uploaded the filmed video online! But at this moment, Tang Yiyi poured a bucket of cold water over him.

She carefully explained the seriousness of the matter to him, and with little effort, she calmed Pang Zhi down. Listening to her analysis, his doughy face instantly lost all its color, turning ashen white.

He was in a daze for a while, then suddenly thought of something, shuddered, and after a turn of his large eyes, he looked at Tang Yiyi seriously and promised earnestly, "Sister Yiyi, don’t worry, I absolutely won’t leak this matter! I won’t even tell my brother!"

Tang Yiyi scrutinized him closely, seeing that he didn’t seem to be lying, she secretly nodded, thinking she had judged him correctly; although this chubby boy was a bit gluttonous, he was quite nice! It wasn’t in vain that she had made delicious foods for Pang Zhi using various methods!

With the issue of ornamental plants resolved, Tang Yiyi and Pang Zhi got busy with the opening preparations. Previously, Tang Yiyi had posted an announcement online that the physical store would open at the beginning of September. She specifically set the date for September 1st, the uniform school reopening day.

Since it’s close to the school, there would be much more foot traffic once school starts. Especially on reopening day, the school would be more bustling than usual; opening the store on this day, coupled with online promotions, would guarantee good business.

Tang Yiyi specially exchanged for many recipes for snacks, small bites, and pastries, and she had some exquisite boxes custom-made, preparing to package the snacks and pastries and display them in the showcase on opening day.

A week in advance, she posted an announcement online stating the specific opening time and relevant discounts, then continued with the preparations.

Due to the previous quiet period, the online buzz about the Tang Family physical store opening had cooled down, and even speculations about the "special decorations" had diminished significantly. People who used to discuss it fervently had long been distracted by other online news.

However, right after Tang Yiyi released the announcement with the precise opening date, the buzz about the Tang Family physical store’s opening started to pick up again. When the netizens saw the announcement, they remembered the earlier "Prize Quiz" activity. Because of the allure of Ant Egg Soup, many people participated back then, but as the issue dragged on without resolution, their attention was gradually diverted elsewhere, yet they still held onto the matter in their hearts, longing to know the answer.

That’s why, once Tang Yiyi released the opening announcement, it immediately grabbed these people’s attention! Quite a few had already made up their minds that when the Tang Family store opened, they’d definitely go see what exactly was inside!

Of course, Tang Yiyi wouldn’t miss out on such a great opportunity for hype. Noticing everyone revisiting the topic, she uploaded pictures of the dishes she had taken early on. All the dishes were meticulously selected by her, with beautiful colors and exquisite presentation, tempting anyone who saw them!

The new dishes sparked another wave of discussion; everyone drooled over the realistic 3D photos while discussing eagerly online, vowing to see for themselves when the time came!

Seven days flew by quickly, and soon it was the opening day of the Tang Family’s physical store! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at Qidian (qidian.com); your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
