The warehouse in the back is about 100 square meters, roughly the same size as the front. Sang Jia has also specially prepared some shelves and freezers for the shop.
The warehouse is now very clean and ready to be used for storing things.
With a Sang Luoluo displayed a pile of goods on the shelves: 100 jin of various teas, 400 jin of white sugar, and 3,000 liters of fresh milk.
The milk was put in the freezer.
Sang Jia knew that Sang Luoluo had spatial abilities and that her user level on the APP Farm was very high. He had thought that she might have stockpiled some goods, but he didn't expect her to bring out so much at once. How much would all of this be worth in Crystal Core? She trusted him so much that she was willing to bring out so many resources on their first collaboration.
An indescribable sadness welled up inside me, and a feeling of closeness and trust filled my heart.
Sang Luoluo said, "That's all the goods I can give you right now. Also, the canned food business I mentioned can be started. You can start with small quantities, and once business picks up, you can make more canned goods to sell."
Sang Jia said, "Don't worry, leave these to me."
Sang Jia immediately went to arrange other matters. Since he was opening a shop in cooperation with his aunt, he was taking it very seriously. He converted the ingredients that Sang Luoluo brought out into Crystal Core, and made sure that the costs of shop decoration, labor, management, etc., were transparent and that everyone would share the profits proportionally.
Sang Luoluo also compiled the milk tea recipe. Fortunately, she had previously run a shop on the black market, and in order to better train her employees, Sang Luoluo recorded a video of the preparation method. After watching the video a few times, she could easily master it.
Sang Luoluo sent all the compiled documents to Sang Jia.
Sang Jia's team is already hiring. They don't need too many employees; two people will be enough for the beginning.
As for the decoration style and packaging design, Sang Jia arranged everything in one go. We'll receive the results tonight, and construction can begin tomorrow. If all goes well, we can open for business within three days.
Sang Luoluo had to admire his speed.
Soon, Sang Jia sent the drafted electronic contract to Sang Luoluo.
Sang Jia said, "Since it's a collaboration, it's best to settle things clearly to avoid hurting our relationship. Aunt, you'll be responsible for providing the raw materials, and I'll take care of the rest. Every expense in the shop will be recorded, and I'll pay you every quarter."
Sang Luoluo looked at the contract and exclaimed in surprise, "I'm taking 70% of it all by myself? That's way too much!"
Sang Jia said, "Not much, not at all. I don't need to elaborate on the value of these raw materials in Crystal Core. How much did the shop, labor, and renovation costs amount to? Even with packaging costs, it's not much. In the end, my sister and I made a profit of 30%."
Sang Luoluo shook her head, changed the land division ratio to 60/40, and then decisively signed her name and registered her identity information.
He said, "It's settled then. You and Xiaomei will each get 20%. If business is good, everyone will make a profit."
Sang Jia was a little embarrassed, but seeing Sang Luoluo's determined eyes, she said, "Then... thank you, Auntie."
Sang Luoluo said, "I don't come to Base No. 32 very often. Whenever I do come, I always bring a batch of raw materials. If there are special circumstances, it might take some time. So, on the Farm App, if there's an opportunity to buy tea, white sugar, and milk, you must act decisively."
Sang Jia nodded vigorously, "Don't worry. I'll keep an eye on the Farm App. As long as our shop is profitable, I can use enough Crystal Core to buy raw materials, and it doesn't necessarily require you to come over, Auntie."
Sang Jia grinned happily. He and his sister had limited capital, and the extra Crystal Core their family gave them weren't much either. Now, the entire base was searching for Crystal Core everywhere. With their savings combined, they were already doing very well to buy this shop. Now that their aunt had joined them, their milk tea shop would be fine.
After all, such a large amount of raw materials requires a lot of Crystal Core, which he and his sister cannot afford for the time being.
Even though they are the children of the base commander, their father still controls the family finances. It's normal to give them some pocket money, but if it really comes to a large amount of Crystal Core, Sang Tong can't come up with that much at once.
Sang Luoluo and Qi Feng worked on it until 8 p. m., and Sang Jia was still full of energy. The design drawings were already finished. The two discussed it and confirmed the plan. Sang Jia said she wanted to work overtime a little longer and told them to go home first.
So, Sang Luoluo and Qi Feng went back to the hotel first.
Sang Luoluo back, ate something, and fell asleep immediately. Qi Feng also finished eating and went to rest. Lei Qi and the others returned even later, extremely busy. Mining Crystal Core from those mutated animals wasn't easy.
After taking a hot shower and doing two hours of farm work before bed, Sang Luoluo began today's training plan for the mutated black bear.
When the mutated black bear saw her approaching, it instinctively tried to bare its teeth, Sang Luoluo raised a stone and moved closer to it, causing it to immediately suppress its expression.
Sang Luoluo went closer and stroked its head, then noticed the empty water basin beside it.
The empty basin immediately flew over, and a stream of water filled it completely.
Sang Luoluo looked at it. "If you behave well, you'll have an endless supply of Spirit Spring Water."
The moment the water flew over, the mutated black bear's eyes lit up, and it even ignored Sang Luoluo, wishing it could pounce on her to drink the water right away.
Sang Luoluo placed the basin of water back in its original position.
I walked up to it and watched it drink water. It gulped down the entire basin in no time, not a drop left.
After drinking their fill of water, they looked at Sang Luoluo and the stone hanging in mid-air beside her, and immediately became obedient.
It's not stupid, especially after the mutation; it's even smarter now. The water it loves to drink is given to it by the human in front of it. It can only drink if the human wants to give it to it; if the human doesn't want to give it to it, it will not only go hungry but also miss out on water.
The water was so attractive to it that it hadn't had enough to drink yet. Faced with the choice between roaring and giving in, it chose to pry at the water basin with its paws and push it in front of Sang Luoluo, signaling her to add more water.
Sang Luoluo looked at it, "Want to drink more?"
The mutated black bear warily watched the stone, not daring to roar, but could only paw at the water basin, signaling her to add more water.
With a wave of his hand, Sang Luoluo sent a stream of water flying over, filling the entire basin in a matter of moments.
I was surprised; the mutated black bear had already learned to ask for water so quickly.
"Drink it."
The mutated black bear ignored the fact that Sang Luoluo right in front of it and continued to gulp down its drink.
Sang Luoluo left it the carcasses of several mutated animals as food before leaving.
Upon arriving at the villa, we discovered that the mutated wild orchid seemed to have grown even larger, slowly climbing up the wall.
Chapter 188 Valuable and Enviable
It's not surprising that mutant plants always grow very quickly.
However, Sang Luoluo worried that if the mutated wild orchids continued to be cultivated like this, they might spread everywhere in the space.
But then she thought again, the space was her own, and she could control its growth range, so there was no need to worry too much. Besides, the fragrance emitted by the flowers of this mutated wild orchid was very soothing and helped her feel energetic.
Once she gets back to Base No. 32, she'll have to take out a few flowers for the lab to study and see if the mutated wild orchid's blossoms have any other uses.
The mutated wild orchid gave her a feeling of gentleness and intimacy, unlike the aggressive mutated animals she had seen before.
She decided to continue caring for it, watered it with a ladle of Spirit Spring Water on the way, and then went to her bedroom to sleep.
Sang Luoluo slept until dawn. After having breakfast in her spatial dimension, she came out and only saw Qi Feng.
"What about the others?"
Qi Feng said, "We went to the warehouse to deal with those mutated animals before dawn."
Sang Luoluo nodded. No wonder it was so quiet.
Sang Luoluo still wanted to check on the milk tea shop today. When Sang Luoluo and Qi Feng arrived, it was almost noon. Sang Jia had already instructed people to start the renovation, and the equipment for milk tea was almost ready. Everything was in good order.
With Sang Luoluo and Qi Feng's help, the process sped up even further.
In the afternoon, Sang Mei finished her work at the planting base and rushed over, just in time to see the milk tea shop that was almost finished with renovations.
"Wow, you guys are making such a fast pace."
Sang Jia: "That's right, look who did the work."
Sang Jia continued, "I think we can open for business tomorrow. I've already hired one employee, and we're still short one. It's okay if we can't find a suitable employee in a short time; I can come and do it. I'll go to the Guard's training tonight."
Just as they were saying they were short one worker, a young man came in. He looked about sixteen or seventeen years old. He looked around outside before entering.
Approaching the cashier. "Excuse me, are you hiring workers for your store?"
Sang Luoluo, Qi Feng, and Sang Mei all looked over at the same time, and for some reason felt that the voice sounded a little familiar. Upon closer inspection, they realized they had indeed seen it before.
Sang Mei pointed at him and said, "Hey, aren't you that waiter from the bar the other day? You're here for a job interview?"
"Yes, I need a job. The bar has enough staff and doesn't need me. I just happened to see your job posting. Boss, please let me stay. I can do anything and I'm very hardworking."
The young man had large, watery eyes like a fawn, giving him a pitiful look. Especially after seeing a few familiar faces, he felt his chances of staying had increased.
Sang Jia asked in surprise, "You two know each other?"
Sang Mei said, "He used to work as a waiter at that really popular bar; last time, it was his aunt who was served."
Sang Jia found this interesting, "Okay, then I'll stay. Can we start working now?"
The young man nodded hurriedly.
Sang Jia waved him over to register his information.
