Chapter 176 A meticulously crafted barbecue restaurant, full of ingenuity.
Relieved, Bai Mengran shrugged and then went into the barbecue restaurant to look for Kong Nishang.
Upon entering the store, she was surprised to discover that, wow, this barbecue restaurant actually delivers food via the air!
Countless mechanical tracks can be seen in the air, which are used to deliver food directly to the guests' tables.
It must be said that these interconnected tracks are not only practical, but also a major highlight of the store, attracting a lot of attention and showcasing a sense of technology that would have amazed the ancients.
At this moment, several tables of diners had already ordered their food and were enjoying their meals. As Bai Mengran passed by, she carefully observed the reactions of the surrounding diners to this novel food delivery method.
One table's barbecue was delivered via an aerial rail, and after seeing other tables receiving their food from the sky, these later-ordering customers already knew what was going on.
So he immediately looked up and exclaimed, "Haha, look, the barbecue we ordered is coming down from the sky!"
The person at the table excitedly replied, "Ah! It's down, it's down... Hey, it's spot on! It's right in the middle of the table!"
"Yes, the aroma is so tempting! Brother Wang, let's not hesitate, let's taste it quickly!" one of them said impatiently.
"Okay, okay, I'll try this skewer of meat first..."
After tasting it, he exclaimed, "Mmm~ It's so delicious! I never expected that roasted meat would taste so good!"
"My vegetarian dish has a unique flavor; it's crunchy and satisfying!" Another person was eating roasted chives and nodded in approval.
"Really? Then I'll try a vegetarian skewer too..."
Every table of diners wore expressions of satisfaction, a joyful look that comes from being truly immersed in the delicious food.
This shows that the dishes promoted by the barbecue restaurant this time have received an excellent response.
The diners were satisfied with their meal, and Bai Mengran, as the owner, was naturally very pleased to see this.
So she didn't linger any longer and went straight to Kong Nishang's table.
"Yiyi, how was your meal? Was the barbecue delicious?"
Seeing her eating with relish, her face full of happiness, like a little kitten, Bai Mengran knew that she must like it too.
"Ah, Sister Bai, you're finally done! I ordered one of each kind of barbecue to try all the different flavors, and it turns out they're all super delicious!"
Kong Nishang's pleasant meal was interrupted, but upon seeing that it was Sister Bai, she immediately responded excitedly, her eyes sparkling.
Seeing that she had almost finished eating, Bai Mengran sat down opposite her and started ordering the next round of food.
She added some dishes according to her own preferences, and even ordered extra, afraid that Kong Nishang wouldn't have enough to eat.
Her account didn't have to go through the payment step; the order was placed successfully directly.
This time, Bai Mengran finally witnessed the entire process of in-flight meal delivery firsthand.
The barbecue they had just ordered arrived slowly on an aerial track and was delivered precisely to the top of their table.
Bai Mengran noticed that there was a long strip of material in the middle of the desktop that was different from the rest of the desktop.
The barbecue plates that fell from the sky were placed in this special area.
Out of curiosity, she secretly asked the system a question.
[Host, this is the intelligent heating panel. When it senses a plate, it will locally heat the area where the plate is placed to ensure the grill doesn't cool down due to prolonged sitting.]
"Wow, Tongzi, you've really thought of everything! When I used to eat barbecue, the skewers at the back would often get cold because they sat there for too long, and the taste would be much worse!"
Bai Mengran was pleasantly surprised. She never expected that this seemingly insignificant design would cleverly solve the problem she had encountered when eating barbecue in the past. It was truly admirable.
After being alerted by the system, Bai Mengran carefully observed that all the skewers were laid flat on a stainless steel square plate.
This ensures that each skewer is heated evenly, maintaining the best taste.
Wonderful! Wonderful!
Not wanting such an exquisite design to be overlooked, Bai Mengran turned to Kong Nishang and explained this detail again.
Seeing that she was equally amazed by the design, Bai Mengran was satisfied.
"Yiyi, why didn't you get any drinks? Aren't they unlimited drinks?"
Bai Mengran had just taken a bite of the barbecue when she felt like something was missing.
Oh right, drinks! This barbecue is best enjoyed with an ice-cold cola!
She was about to get up and go to the bar to check, when she discovered that Kong Nishang across from her hadn't even taken a drink...
Doesn't she feel thirsty?
Kong Nishang looked surprised. "Huh? I didn't know..."
She had taken her seat and figured it out on her own, so she missed this crucial piece of information.
She looked around and noticed that the other tables were indeed filled with customers, each with a drink in hand, enjoying their barbecue while sipping their beverages. After taking a sip, they would let out a satisfied "Ha~~~" with expressions of pure bliss on their faces.
Kong Nishang felt like crying but couldn't. What had she missed? How could she be the only one who didn't know...?
"Let's go get our drinks. Choose whatever you want!" Bai Mengran quickly pulled Kong Nishang towards the beverage area.
Upon arriving at the bar, they discovered that the self-service beverage machines were highly intelligent, requiring only voice commands and no manual operation.
There are a total of five self-service beverage machines, and many diners are queuing up to get their drinks.
Because there are enough devices, the waiting time is not long, and they will be able to get their turn soon.
Bai Mengran was also curious about how it worked, so she waited patiently in line, wanting to see for herself how it operated.
When it was her turn, the smart beverage machine first asked, "Which of the following drinks would you like to drink?"
Meanwhile, the display screen showed pictures and brief descriptions of four drinks.
Bai Mengran answered without hesitation, "I want a Coke!"
The smart beverage machine then asked, "Would you like some ice?"
"Yes! Lots of it!" Bai Mengran responded quickly again.
"Okay, please take it."
With almost no waiting time, the dispensing spout at the bottom opened automatically, revealing a glass of cola already filled with ice, just as Bai Mengran had requested.
She took it out and was very satisfied.
Hey, this beverage machine is really interesting; it minimizes the hassle for customers to do it themselves.
Not to mention that people in ancient times didn't know how to operate push-button beverage machines, even modern people often spill carbonated drinks when using those machines because they can't control them properly.
Bai Mengran instantly recalled her past self who was clumsy with her hands...
This smart beverage machine for lazy people perfectly solves this problem.
Now diners can freely choose their favorite drinks and flavors without having to do anything themselves. Simply answer a few questions, then pick up your drink and enjoy.
Shouldn't such a user-friendly beverage machine be promoted more widely?
