"My space can also preserve food, so any leftover ingredients won't go to waste. What do you think?"
Sang Yunpu became interested. "I like cooking, and it would be good if I could earn Crystal Core for you to use to improve your evolutionary abilities. I think it's a good idea. However, I'm worried that selling food on the black market might attract attention, given your food source..."
Sang Luoluo smiled mysteriously and said, "Brother, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Even if they trace it back to us, I have a way to handle it. Just remember this: the source of those ingredients is with me."
Sang Yunpu asked again, "Are you sure you're confident?"
Sang Luoluo patted her chest. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Before, Sang Luoluo was worried about the source of the ingredients, but now that Grandpa CC's Farm is online, she doesn't have to worry at all. She was even worried that too few people knew about this store.
"Then I'll go to the black market tomorrow night to look for a shop to rent and get started. We can also plan out what we should sell later." Sang Yunpu perked up as soon as he mentioned this.
Seeing how excited he was, Sang Luoluo was happy too.
Having been to the black market a few times before, Sang Luoluo's impression was that there were many wealthy people there, including men, women, and children, and most of them were quite Crystal Core.
If it's about food, Sang Luoluo thought for a moment and decided on the lowest-cost option that wouldn't compete with other restaurants: how about opening a milk tea shop?
"Brother, what do you think of the bubble tea shop?"
"Milk tea? What's that? Is it good?" Sang Yunpu asked innocently.
Sang Luoluo almost forgot that milk tea was something from three hundred years ago. In this wasteland world, you can't even find milk, let alone milk tea.
Sang Yunpu searched online and found very little relevant information. Not many people had actually tried this product, and over time, even the information disappeared.
Sang Luoluo stood up and said, "Brother, wait a moment, let me make you a cup to try."
Sang Luoluo took out some tea leaves, fresh milk, and white sugar from her spatial storage. After stir-frying the tea leaves, she added the milk and boiled it. Finally, she added a small amount of sugar, filtered it, and a common cup of milk tea was ready.
Sang Luoluo took a cup and poured some for him to try.
Sang Yunpu took a few sips, his eyes lit up. It tasted much better than plain milk, and the flavor was especially wonderful. It was sweet and delicious.
"This is what we'll sell!!!" Sang Yunpu decided immediately. This stuff tastes so good, there's bound to be a lot of people who like it.
"Okay, tomorrow when Qi Feng arrives and training is over, we'll go buy some materials and equipment, and then go to the black market to buy some items," Sang Luoluo said with a smile.
Before going to sleep, Sang Luoluo immersed her consciousness in the space and looked at the panel. She found that a few more people had made purchases. Judging from their location, they were from other bases. Although there weren't many people, they contributed quite a lot of Crystal Core. In a short while, twenty more Crystal Core appeared next to the panel.
Sang Luoluo thought for a moment and added a new function to the panel, allowing Level 2 users to purchase new items.
Sang Luoluo added tea leaves—the tea garden in her spatial dimension, which she hadn't properly tended for a while—and milk and sugar.
In addition, she plans to add several other types of fruit to the shelves.
Sang Yunpu opened her shop, she had to make sure that the source of her goods would not arouse suspicion, no matter what.

Premium Green Tea: 500 Crystal Core /500g. Remaining quantity: 200.

These are the only purchase permissions available to Level 2 users, and the prices have increased somewhat. These items aren't particularly expensive. During her recent trip, she discovered that there are an abundance of Crystal Core outside. If she were to rely on finding others to slowly mine them, it would take forever.
The Crystal Core are placed outside, and everyone has the opportunity to earn Crystal Core. Sang Luoluo isn't worried about how much energy they can find; they can exchange Crystal Core freely.
She plans to set up purchasing privileges for later-level users, which will attract more and larger amounts of Crystal Core to recharge.
After collecting tea leaves in the tea garden, Sang Luoluo finally went to sleep. She could do the rest of the work when she had time.
The next morning, Sang Yunpu prepared breakfast early and kept it warm in the pot.
Qi Feng also arrived early in the morning.
Sang Yunpu messaged him saying there was work to do today and that he should come early, so he arrived early.
Sang Luoluo also got up to train. Two hours later, the brother and sister were exhausted. After eating breakfast and resting for a while, they set off.
The three of them went directly from the basement to the underground city.
While Sang Luoluo was away, Sang Yunpu managed to figure out the underground city on his own, finding out where to order the paper cups and milk tea making machine that Sang Luoluo wanted.
Qi Feng looked at the brother and sister, who were unusually preparing to cook. "What... are you planning to do?"
Sang Yunpu then revealed his plan.
Qi Feng remained silent. What was milk tea? Would anyone really buy it on the black market?
Following Sang Yunpu, they arrived at a large shop. The owner was a young man, and the other people in the shop were his family members, all of whom were idle. When they saw a customer arrive, they immediately went to greet him. Business had become even more difficult since the meteor shower, and his shop hadn't seen a customer for several days.
"What would you like to order?" The boss's smile was extremely sincere.
Sang Yunpu glanced at Sang Luoluo, "Why don't you describe it to him?"
Sang Luoluo gave him an OK sign and showed him a simple drawing she had made of a disposable paper cup, complete with a lid and straw.
As soon as the shop owner saw that there was business, he immediately led them to the computer and drew out what Sang Luoluo needed.
Looking at the blank cups, Sang Luoluo ordered 10,000 of each. Even if business wasn't good, it didn't matter; she could keep these in her spatial storage and drink them slowly.
Sang Yunpu was about to say that ten thousand was too many, but seeing Sang Luoluo's confident look, he didn't say it.
These cups can be made today, ten thousand is not too many, they can be made by the assembly line machine in an hour.
Sang Luoluo looked at the other items in the shop and picked out some utensils for making milk tea.
When it came time to pay, Sang Luoluo still used potatoes, which are now a form of hard currency. All these items together only required 25 potatoes.
After moving the items back and forth several times to make sure they were in a secluded spot, Sang Luoluo finally put them into her spatial storage.
After having dinner at home and resting for a while, the three of them went to the black market around 7 p. m.
Sang Luoluo plans to open her milk tea shop in the most bustling part of the black market, between several auctions, which would be the best location.
There were several vacant shops here. Sang Yunpu contacted the shop owners with a blank wristwatch, paid 100 potatoes, and rented the shop for three months. He continued to renew the lease at the same price, paying a quarterly rent each time.
You will be responsible for any other expenses incurred, such as water and electricity bills.
The three men wore masks. Qi Feng followed behind without saying a word, carrying boxes when asked and cleaning when asked, without asking any questions.
Sang Luoluo looked at the shop; it was about 60 square meters, not small at all.
The previous landlord cleaned the shop very thoroughly before leaving, and the water and electricity connections were all in good condition without any problems.
After closing the door, Sang Luoluo took out all the milk tea making utensils she had bought that day. She had a set of these things in her spatial storage, but she always kept that set there and didn't take it out.
Arrange the various tea canisters neatly and label them accordingly: green tea, oolong tea, black tea, and Tieguanyin.
Since the business has just opened, Sang Luoluo doesn't plan to do much.
In addition, Sang Yunpu is just starting out, so he has to try it out and see if it tastes good.
Milk containers were also prepared. These things have a short shelf life, so Sang Luoluo took them out from her spatial storage. They were already in individual containers, making them convenient to use.
"Brother, you should come up with a name for the bubble tea shop. The signboard outside needs changing."
Fortunately, the signs outside are all electronic displays, which can be changed at any time, and you can even design them yourself.
"How about calling it 'Tastes Good, Come Again Milk Tea'?" Sang Yunpu thought for a long time, coming up with a name randomly since it was the first time he'd come up with one.
Sang Luoluo's lips twitched. "Uh... okay."
Following Sang Yunpu's instructions, Qi Feng modified the store name on the outside and uploaded a set of photos of milk tea, making it clear from the signboard that it was a milk tea shop.
Chapter 111 Boss, hurry up and restock! [Boss, we're out of potatoes!!!...]
Sang Luoluo tried making a few fruit teas, and they tasted great. With crushed ice, they were refreshingly cool and even better than the trendy milk teas she had tried before. It was probably because of the ingredients provided by the space; the taste was exceptional.
They finished setting up the shelves, and it was only 9:30.
