Chapter 143 Searching for Instant Noodle Trucks and Store Locations in Various Towns
At the competition, prize money and certificates were awarded. When Bai Mengran went on stage to receive her award, she took the opportunity to promote the food truck instant noodles and "Wonderland", hoping that everyone would support and promote them.
After the competition ended, Bai Mengran used the competition venue to have Xiao Wu sell instant noodles on the food cart!
Those who had just tried the instant noodles all swarmed around the food truck.
I heard that this delicious instant noodles only cost sixteen coins a cup, and I can actually afford it.
I'll buy a few buckets, no matter how expensive, so my family can also taste the amazing flavor of these instant noodles...
As a result of accepting this side quest, Bai Mengran accidentally opened up the instant noodle market in Heshun Town.
He also won a ten-tael silver bonus, and in the next half hour, he sold nearly three thousand buckets of instant noodles...
[Ding, congratulations host, the following task has been completed: 〖Side Quest 12〗: Sign up for the monthly food competition in Heshun Town and win the championship.]
Rewards: 3 System Coins, 5 Instant Noodle Cart Clones
(The food cart split is a smaller, simpler version of the food cart. It is rechargeable/powered and can last for a week on a full charge/powered state.)
Each vehicle is equipped with an AI vendor, selling the same goods as the original food trucks, but only offering takeout and delivery; no fresh food is available.
The system's reward announcement signaled the successful completion of the mission.
Not only did they receive a real cash reward, but more importantly, they also took the opportunity to promote the instant noodles.
This trip to Heshun Town was truly a resounding success, bringing both fame and fortune to a perfect close!
Bai Mengran stopped participating in the instant noodle selling business and handed it over to Xiao Wu. She then followed the map to the market near the archway square.
Seeing that this place is almost entirely filled with stalls selling snacks and food, it would be quite suitable to rent it out and set up a ramen noodle food cart clone.
Now that we have obtained five food truck clones, let Xiao Wu travel around to various places to promote the food trucks and do a good job of marketing. In particular, we need to find a way to open up the markets in Sifang Town and Qianfeng Town.
But she still had to go to those two towns first to find a place to set up the food truck clones in advance, so that she could arrange for them to be set up as early as possible.
After all, clones are like instant noodle vending machines, passively selling themselves only when customers come to them.
However, it doesn't conflict with the food truck's proactive sales efforts. Putting it into use sooner might even attract a few customers to come to us...
After making up her mind, Bai Mengran began to choose a suitable place to put the food cart clone.
The stalls at the market in Paifang Square are different from those in Taoyuan Town, which are open-air and set up on the ground.
Along its market street are rows of simple stalls that have already been built on both sides of the walkway.
The stalls are all similarly designed and can be rented or leased, which makes the whole street look relatively neat and uniform, unlike the chaotic and disorganized appearance of haphazardly set up stalls.
This is actually perfect for Bai Mengran. As long as she rents a shop here, she can set up a food truck clone and have it sell instant noodles from morning till night.
This also saves her the trouble of putting food out during the day and collecting it at night. Since the food truck clones produced by the system can also be recharged with energy, there's no need for her to go back to [Fairyland] to mooch electricity.
She checked and found that she could recharge directly in the system's backend "Mobile Shop".
Energy isn't too expensive either; 5 system coins are enough to charge 1 energy bar, and 7 energy bars are needed to fully charge it.
In other words, a week's worth of energy can be replenished for just 35 system coins, and you can also activate automatic recharge for a one-time solution.
She went to the city government office that manages the market and inquired about renting a stall. Here, you can rent a stall by the day or by the month.
The daily rental fee is usually 5 to 10 coins, and the price is even lower if it is contracted on a monthly basis, ranging from 120 to 240 coins per month.
This price is no problem for Bai Mengran, who is now financially secure.
So she deftly chose one of the vacant stalls, signed the documents, and paid 200 coins to rent it out for a month.
I took the documents and certificates to check out the leased shop, and found it to be empty and very clean.
Bai Mengran planned to wait until late at night and then place the food cart into the berth.
After thinking about it, Bai Mengran realized she still had four clones left, so she decided to take them all out in one go.
So she released her mount and rode ahead of Xiao Wu to the third stop of her tour—Sifang Town.
Go ahead and find the location of the food truck in advance, so you don't have to rush over later.
The system recommended Sifang Old Street, where the most shops are concentrated, located in the central area of Sifang Town.
This street has a long history and has been well preserved to this day.
Horse-drawn carriages are prohibited from entering or leaving the old street; only pedestrians are allowed. The street is lined with shops on both sides, selling everything from food and clothing to daily necessities. It is one of the most prosperous and bustling streets in Sifang Town.
After dismounting, Bai Mengran walked along the pedestrian street, hearing the constant calls of vendors, much like the commercial streets of modern ancient towns.
She saw a vendor selling candied hawthorns walking around the street, and her craving instantly arose. She stopped the vendor and ordered a skewer of hawthorns for only two copper coins.
She took a small bite; the hawthorn was sweet and sour, and quite delicious.
I followed the navigation towards the dental clinic, eating the candied hawthorn in my hand as I walked.
There were brokerage shops on the old street. Bai Mengran hadn't walked far when she saw the sign for "Liao's Brokerage Shop" and strolled inside.
Bai Mengran randomly found a broker and asked about the available shops on the old street. She then chose the smallest one.
It wasn't too far away, so she had the broker take her to see it in person, and after confirming it, she officially signed the lease.
Sifang Town is a small town, and the rent here is much cheaper than in Taoyuan Town and Heshun Town.
The rent for this small shop on Sifang Old Street was only 380 yuan per month, so Bai Mengran simply paid three months' rent upfront.
Anyway, she only plans to place one food truck clone here. Food trucks can't drive into this pedestrian street, so let's just treat this as a branch of the instant noodle shop in Sifang Town.
As for the food truck sales, Xiao Wu will find a place nearby where it's permitted to set up a stall.
When promoting and selling instant noodles on-site, simply inform customers of the location of this instant noodle branch.
After tossing all the documents for renting the shop into her mental bag, Bai Mengran flew to the last town, Qianfeng Town.
Since only a small part of Qianfeng Town is temporarily included in the food delivery area, Bai Mengran plans to find a place near this area to be the first to open up the instant noodle market.
She had unlocked this town through an aerial tour before, but had never actually been there, so she had no choice but to ask her cheat for help.
"Tongzi, this is the last town. Could you help me find a spot to set up a stall within the delivery area?"
[We suggest you check out the markets around Qianfeng Wharf.]
"That sounds pretty good. Dockworkers might just be our potential big clients!"
After all, instant noodles keep well, making them perfect for having hot food anytime while at sea. Plus, if they were part of the food delivery service, they could easily order takeout anytime, anywhere!
Bai Mengran wanted to open a branch of her instant noodle shop in the delivery area so that the two could work together and promote each other.
First, establish brand awareness within the small area of Qianfeng Town, and then gradually expand from there to other areas...
