Doomsday B&B

The next morning, Qi Yun got up on her own without Tuan Tuan calling her. After getting ready, she went out to the convenience store.

Qi Yun felt she had arrived early enough, but when she got there, she found that Qi Yun, Kong Yunhua, and even Zhao Wenzhi were already there.

Upon seeing Kong Yunhua, Qi Yun suddenly remembered that she hadn't yet received his book, so she said:

"Brother Kong, I'll take the books out now, you can arrange them."

"it is good."

"Okay, go ahead and get busy. I've put the book behind the counter for now. Let me know if you need anything."

"Okay, I'll go now." With that, Kong Yunhua left.

"Sister Qi Huan, do you have any opinions about our convenience store?"

"I do have a little bit."

"What do you mean, you tell me?"

“I think we should add a call bell to the counter, connect it to our personal computer, and set it up according to time periods. If someone comes but there is no one at the counter, they can use the call bell to call the staff.”

"Okay, I'll bring it over and install it this afternoon. Do you have any more?"

"The children's playground also needs some promotion, and there's also the pricing. Why isn't there a machine set up at the entrance?"

"Oh, right, I forgot. I'll go check it out now. Sister Qi Huan, I'll grant you access so you can display the job postings for the new children's playground on the big screen. I'll bring over some posters later to put up and promote our children's playground."

"Okay, boss."

Qi Yun arrived at the children's playground, where Xin Xin and Bei Bei were having a great time. Kong Yunhua was arranging books and said upon seeing Qi Yun:

"Boss, the study corner might need a few sliding ladders, otherwise we won't be able to get the books that aren't too tall down. We also need a search device so that older children can use it to see the table of contents and find the books they need."

"Okay, I'll set the prices first. For the books, place the more common ones lower down and the more specialized ones higher up. I'll set up the book finder in a bit. Hey, wait a minute, don't place the books yet. I checked, the book finder requires a corresponding barcode, so don't place them yet. I'll set up the machine first, then you can place them. Luckily, we don't have many books yet. Today, let's open the play area and rest area in the children's playground. You can book the study corner tomorrow after you've set up the books."

"Okay, boss."

After Qi Yun finished speaking, she first set the price in the system backend, then selected a search engine and placed two at the end of the locker.

The Qiyunxuan book finder first generates a barcode. After you input the book's details and location, the machine will print out the barcode. When you return the book, you can scan the barcode to locate it and put it back in its original place.

After placing the finder, Qi Yun went to the finder, set up a chair and a table, and then called Kong Yunhua:

“Brother Kong, you need to take the books off the shelf again. We need to enter them into the system first and then rearrange them. I bought new books, five copies of each kind. We'll put them all together. Now, take some books from your phone and put them away. After you've finished, come over here and let's enter the books into the system together before you put them back on the shelf.”

"Okay, then I'll pack up all the books and head over." With that, Kong Yunhua began to gather the books that were already on the bookshelf and put them into the box. Fortunately, there weren't many books, and packing them up didn't require the same meticulousness as arranging them, so Kong Yunhua quickly finished packing and came over to start entering the books into the system.

While Kong Yunhua was collecting books, Qi Yun tried out a search tool. She chose one with simple functions and easy operation—basically a foolproof program—and succeeded on her first try. As Qi Yun was looking at the barcode in her hand, Kong Yunhua approached. Qi Yun said:

“I’ve already tried it, and it can print out 5 chapter barcode labels directly. The barcodes have adhesive backing, which is very convenient. However, it seems that we need to determine the location of the books first. But we can also add the information later. Let’s enter the book titles first, and then you can add the location information after you’ve placed the books and determined their positions. I’ll find someone to help you with that.”

"Okay, boss, I understand." After saying that, he picked up the book next to him and started recording the information about the book.

Seeing that Kong Yunhua had started recording book information, Qi Yunzhang clicked a button, sent a message to Qi Huan, told her that the children's playground was temporarily closed today, and then also started recording book information.

Because Kong Yunhua really put a lot of effort into selecting the books, there weren't many books this time. So, before lunch, the two of them successfully entered all the information, including the names of the books they bought, and only the location information was left.

"Alright, Brother Kong, take your time choosing the books. Once you've chosen, just send me the list. This afternoon, you can put some more books up for the children's playground opening tomorrow. That's all for today, I'm leaving now." With that, Qi Yun stretched and loosened up before leaving.

Seeing Qi Yun leave, Kong Yunhua called her two daughters to prepare to take the children out for lunch. Qi Yun arrived at the counter at the convenience store entrance, where Qi Huan was paying. Perhaps because it was lunchtime, there were only a few people in the convenience store, but one person in particular caught her eye: Tong Yuanyuan.

When Qi Yun came out, Tong Yuanyuan was placing a full cart of items next to the checkout counter, and then she kept putting things into another shopping cart. Why was she so eye-catching? Because she wasn't shopping in a normal way; she was taking everything from the food shelves, and in considerable quantities.

Qi Yun came to Tong Yuanyuan's side:

"Yuanyuan, what are you doing?"

"Ah, Yunyun, I'm buying food. Hehe, I've already calculated the bill for 8 cartloads. This is the 10th cartload. I'm preparing my food boxes."

"Oh, okay, how big of a box do you need? You haven't told me yet."

"Oh, Yunyun, I want several different sizes, all sizes, is that okay?"

"Okay, I'll prepare them for you. How much of each?"

"Yes, there are about 5 sizes. I'll prepare 200 of each. I'll assemble them first and then ask you for them."

"Okay, then come to the counter and call me in a bit, and I'll deliver it directly to your home."

"Okay, Yunyun, please wait for me a little while. I'll be done soon, and I'll cook for you when I get back."

"Okay, no rush, take your time. I'll calculate the bill for the car in front of you at the cashier first, and then we can calculate it when you come over, which will save some time."

"Okay, okay, thank you Yunyun, hehehe." Tong Yuanyuan nodded vigorously. Qi Yun watched as Yuanyuan finished answering her question and then started seriously shopping again. She shook her head helplessly and pushed the cart full of food that Tong Yuanyuan had already loaded to the cashier.

Seeing that no one was at the cashier, Qi Yun started to calculate the bill for Tong Yuanyuan's cart of food. After he finished calculating the bill, Tong Yuanyuan came over with another cart of food. After settling the bill for the second cart that Tong Yuanyuan brought, the two of them went to Tong Yuanyuan's courtyard together.

After opening the door and entering the courtyard, Tong Yuanyuan said to Qiyun:

"Yunyun, wait outside for a bit. I'll go in and cook. It'll be quick. I've already prepared the semi-finished products; they just need a little processing before we can eat." Then she went into a small outbuilding in the yard and started working.

Qi Yun then carefully observed Qi Tong Yuanyuan's small courtyard. Tong Yuanyuan had expanded the courtyard, making it about 200 square meters. A pebble path divided the courtyard into two parts. The right side was smaller, only about 20 square meters. On the right side of this courtyard, she had extended a small hut. The hut had two doors, and to the right of the hut was a rain shelter. Under the shelter was a set of long wooden tables and chairs, and the ground had been paved, except that the area around the courtyard wall had been left unpaved.

She also planted vines all over the corners of the courtyard wall, which she encouraged to grow and climb all over the wall, blooming with small flowers of different colors, which looked very nice.

On the left side of the courtyard, Tong Yuanyuan had planted all sorts of plants. Against the courtyard wall by the entrance, Tong Yuanyuan had created a small garden. The rest of the area was also filled with all sorts of vegetables. Even the two sides of the pebble path were planted with different fruit trees, and a few were also planted against the left wall. It seemed that she had planted all her favorite fruits.

Qi Yun sat down at the long table, and Tong Yuanyuan came out from the side door of the small house, carrying a large tray. She first put the tray down, then said to Qi Yun:

"Yunyun, try my cooking. I may not be good at anything else, but I can cook. Hahaha." Then she brought Qiyun a bowl and chopsticks and placed them in front of her, and then took out a pot of rice and placed it next to her.

"it is good."

"Come on, Yunyun, let me serve you some rice." Saying this, he picked up Qiyun's bowl and filled it with a whole bowl of rice.

"Alright, alright, there's so much food already, we can't eat any more." Seeing that Tong Yuanyuan was about to continue serving rice into her bowl, Qi Yun quickly stopped her.

"Okay, here you go. Quickly try this braised pork I made, it's especially delicious."

Qi Yun picked up her chopsticks and added a piece of braised pork. The braised pork on the chopsticks was bright red and trembling. She put the braised pork in her mouth, and it melted in her mouth. It was really delicious. So Qi Yun picked up more braised pork and ate it.

Seeing that Qi Yun was eating meat frequently, Tong Yuanyuan served her a bowl of chicken soup and placed it in front of her:

"Here, have a sip of soup."

"Mmm," Qi Yun replied indistinctly, then picked up the spoon and took a sip of soup.

After taking a sip of soup, Qi Yun's eyes lit up, and she unconsciously quickened her pace of drinking the soup.

Seeing Qi Yun enjoying her meal, Tong Yuanyuan revealed a smile that no one else knew about.

After the two finished their meal, Qi Yun took out a bunch of boxes and brought them out to the small house outside:

"Yuanyuan, these are various packing boxes. Use them slowly, and come find me when you run out."

"Okay, then I'll thank Yunyun."

"You're welcome. By the way, is Yuanyuan's current storage space on his personal computer insufficient? Let me expand it for you."

"Is that okay?" Tong Yuanyuan asked in surprise.

"Okay, okay, it's because you spent so much. Wait a minute." Then Qi Yun opened the system in his mind and communicated with Tuan Tuan, expanding Tong Yuanyuan's light brain storage space to its maximum, about 200 square meters, with a height of 10 meters.

"Okay. Take a look."

"Ah, that's great, thank you Yunyun." After reading it, Tong Yuanyuan excitedly threw herself at Qi Yun and kissed her.

"Alright, alright, you go home and busy yourself with your food boxes. I'm leaving now. Call me if you need anything." Qi Yun said, pulling Tong Yuanyuan off him.

"Okay, go ahead, I'll cook some food first. I'll bring it to you later." Tong Yuanyuan didn't even look up, only focused on looking at her huge storage space.

Qi Yun shook her head helplessly, walked out of Tong Yuanyuan's courtyard, and thoughtfully closed the door behind her.
