Superman, the Man of Steel, female, 6 years old!

The final store opening method was confirmed.

For Anna and the others, it was actually a complete accident.

Because it was Anna's turn to be the chef last week.

Then, in order to cook only once a day, she, a lazy person, simply changed the way the restaurant was run.

It became a kind of izakaya that is a combination of a buffet restaurant and a self-service barbecue restaurant.

After paying a fee of 2000 yen per person.

All guests can enjoy unlimited supply of flammable oolong tea, wheat soda and other drinks in the izakaya, which are "imported by plane" from a certain country.

Then there is unlimited fish, shrimp, crab and other seafood.

Each of them used vegetables for self-service barbecue and staple foods that no one wanted.

It doesn’t matter if the customer is a clumsy person who is not confident in his or her craftsmanship.

Every day in the store, Anna, the Michelin-rated chef, would prepare the food in one sitting after school, and then place it on a plate over a meter long for people to enjoy as they pleased...

Fried saury, spicy mantis shrimp, braised king crab, spicy dried fish and other cooked foods to go with alcohol.

So after just two days of opening like this...

This izakaya, with plants and vines climbing all over its exterior walls, has become a must-visit place for Japanese people from several nearby companies after get off work.

Super delicious and not expensive.

For the price of two bowls of ramen, you can feast to your heart's content at this restaurant.

You can engage in workplace socializing after get off work and solve the dinner problem at the same time.

So after changing the business model, the number of customers in the izakaya exceeded several times that of when Natasha and Thor were chefs in just two days.

Only two days later, Thorlong was forced to pick up the fishing net in a hurry, secretly go to the fishing grounds in Hokkaido, and fly to Qingdao in a certain country to purchase a large amount of wine.

After secretly doubling the number of tables, chairs, and space on the first floor, and because it was basically self-service, the workload of the two waiters, Thor and Natasha, in greeting guests every day was reduced...

The profit of this izakaya even increased several times.

Less work, more money, closer to home, and more time to spend with Kobayashi's Kanna.

Thor, who had learned bad things from Anna, was extremely happy.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that this restaurant will no longer provide the Western food and special dishes that Thor and his friends learned before. It’s just that these dishes require extra payment, and only those gourmet-level regular customers will occasionally order them.

After all, although the plates that are more than one meter in size displayed in a row in the store don’t look very good, the taste that Chef Anna creates with her Michelin-level cooking skills is nothing to be underestimated.

Not to mention that some people have used magic to cheat on keeping the food warm and locking in the flavor on these large plates...

So even though this store doesn't open until an hour after elementary school is over, there are still a constant stream of regular customers coming every day.

And there was also a crazy word-of-mouth...human-to-human transmission mode.

Chapter 225: Start the Smart Farm Project

After selling out the buffet tickets each day and telling the guests to help themselves, they hung up a sign saying they were not accepting new guests. This freed Thor and the other waiters from their duties.

They could even sit at the table with Xiaolin after get off work and the little kids who had had enough fun after school, and they would eat, drink and have fun together until closing time.

And the cost that Anna and others pay every day...

Apart from Thor and Qiao Ji's labor, there were almost only some seasonings and the cost of purchasing alcohol from Qingdao, a low-price area.

Don't even talk about tariffs or not.

Even when Thor bought beer, he came with Anna once and then asked the agent directly for the wholesale price.

The most common Asahi beer in Japanese supermarkets is 350ml, which costs about 260 yen per can. In ordinary family restaurants or izakayas, the price of a glass of beer is about 350 to 600 yen.

While Anna and her friends were purchasing goods in Qingdao.

Tsingtao draft beer is packed in 20-liter stainless steel barrels. Hundreds of barrels are shipped in batches each time, and after they're shipped back, they're kept fresh using magic...

The purchase price of a 20-liter barrel of draft beer, converted into Japanese yen, is only 1154 yen, which is basically the price of two or three beers in other izakayas here in Japan.

I just want to ask you, are you afraid of this speed of making money by exploiting differences in exchange rates and consumption levels?

Not to mention the seafood in those stores. Except for the ones that Natasha bought by driving a small truck outside the city, all the seafood was caught by Thor by casting nets in the world's top fishing grounds in Hokkaido.

If it weren't for the fact that eating fish every day is boring, and if it weren't for the fact that Toldo could have more contact with ordinary people in Japan.

Maid Dragon goes to the shopping street every day to buy vegetables and seasonings without fail, so now Anna might even buy a bag of salt and a bottle of soy sauce together when she goes to Qingdao to purchase goods.

So even though each person only received a 2000 yen meal voucher, if any other restaurant charged this price, they would have gone bankrupt long ago.

But it also allows Anna and her friends to make a lot of money every day.

So under the halo of cheap quality and top taste.

Even though the chef only works for an hour a day, the waiters are not humble enough and even behave in a rude manner, and the bosses often sit at the VIP table and eat more than anyone else...

It was automatically ignored by the gourmets and regular customers who were already familiar with the restaurant.

After running the shop leisurely for a month, Thor and his friends had an extra 4 to 5 million yen in the account of the izakaya.

After combining all the savings of the Caichuan sisters, the cultivation of vegetables and fruits in the three-story building, as well as the breeding of freshwater fish, were put on the agenda.

Although this money is enough to hire an agricultural company or a construction company to build a greenhouse, it is definitely not enough.

However, for Anna, who has learned the hands-on skills of the rednecks, it is still possible to build a smart farm as big as several football fields with the price of a single-family house in the suburbs of Tokyo.

……

……

Thanks to the super functions and convenience of the World Tree Seed.

This is the magic building that Anna has built.

In the newly opened basement and the three floors above, she used a method similar to the space expansion spell.

In addition to the third floor which is used as a laboratory, there are also secret spaces on the first and second floors which are used for business operations, offices, and Anna and others.

Now in the basement, the first floor and the second floor, there is idle space as large as two or three football fields in each place that has not been filled.

The basement was secretly expanded under the original building because of the plant roots that Anna created.

So after being cast with the space expansion spell, the entire basement space still had its original soil and gravel floor.

For this, Anna had to readjust the code flowing in the vines.

The plant roots that had penetrated hundreds of meters deep into the ground and were absorbing nutrients grew into a small circle of standard "wooden flooring" in the newly opened basement space, and a small pond was formed in the center with the tree roots.

As for the dirt ground in other places, Anna had grown a lot of green grass that was knee-deep, and covered it with various fragrant and beautiful flowers.

On the dome hundreds of meters high in the basement, just like the one on the third floor, Anna also hung a golden light source like a small sun.

This underground space, which is the size of two or three football fields, was transformed into an environment similar to the grassland outside, and was used by Anna as a place to graze high-quality cattle and sheep.

And when the space is expanded again in the future, Anna will plant fruit trees such as apples, pears, cherries, and bayberries here for sale or wine making.

Although the breeding sheep and cattle have not arrived yet, all the grass, water sources, and beehives have already been placed here.

The vacant areas on the first and second floors are for maximizing the use of space and to test the work of Kobayashi and others. In Anna's plan, these two floors will be turned into the smart farm that failed when she designed the underground base in the Marvel world.

Each floor of the opened-up spaces in the magic building is hundreds of meters high. Overall, it is like a cubic space with several football fields but a height of about one hundred meters.

If this were placed in Tokyo outside, each floor could be used to build a 20- to 30-story building.

So although the area is not large, the three-dimensional space is not small.

The final version of the smart farm in Anna's plan was designed by her to be two three-dimensional buildings about twenty stories high.

Anna now has only 40 million yen to build a farm for herself and do private work. Building a 20-story automated building and a farm... is naturally impossible.

However, Anna's money is enough to buy the first one or two farm modules.

Although the automated farm needs to fill the space on the first and second floors.

However, Anna's farm is actually made up of independent modules, one after another, like a honeycomb. The final farm is like a container, one stacked on top of another and installed inside the frame.

The reason for this design is naturally because Anna's automated farm is actually a preliminary research for her space station plan.

Chapter 226: Manufacturing of Agricultural Modules (I)

For example, the advantage of dividing the farm into small modules is that when money is low, one can first make one or two farm modules, grow vegetables and other things for experiments, and use them to supply their restaurants.

Anna designed the cross section of each module into a standard regular hexagonal shape. The rectangular space between the top and bottom sides is the main space for planting and providing light.

The triangular areas on the left and right sides are where pipes, external interfaces, sensors and vents are installed.

After all the hexagonal-section cylindrical modules are built on the ground, Anna only needs to send them into outer space, and then assemble and dock them one by one as needed, just like the International Space Station.

Under all standardized construction.

These futuristic agricultural modules can be easily installed like beehives on space stations, spacecraft, meteorites, and colonies on alien planets.

The ultimate goal is that as long as there is water and energy, these container-like modules can produce a steady supply of fresh food for humans.

Anna's automated farm plan is, of course, a preliminary preparation for this final goal.

Although producing vegetables and food is also a goal, its greatest role is to accumulate technology for Anna's plan after returning to the Marvel world.

Another function is that before the quantum computer that satisfies her is completed, Anna can find something to do for Kobayashi and the others who are still a little free.

This will prevent these idle guys from worrying all day about when Anna's new company will go bankrupt.

So things like temperature and humidity measurement in automated farms, automatic drip irrigation, automatic soil loading, steam sterilization of substrate soil, sensor signal reception, light adjustment, ventilation and pumping, as well as automatic transmission systems between overhead cranes and ground tracks, etc.

All these software systems need to be handled by Kobayashi and the other two.

Fortunately, many of the software, automated farms, and smart greenhouse functions here are already readily available in the world.

Kobayashi and his team only need to customize Anna's farm based on these ready-made software and add some small functions.

Both the amount of code and the difficulty are much lower than starting from scratch.

……

In order to simulate the isolated island environment and technology comparison of the space station to the greatest extent, Anna used the private money of the Caichuan sisters and the funds in the store to build two farm modules at the same time.

One is a steel prismatic box that is highly enclosed and uses as little external resources as possible except for air and energy.

The other one was built by Anna with the remaining scraps after spending almost all her money. Air, water, substrate, nutrient soil and many other things all depend on the outside world. It was originally intended to be a proper farm built on the earth.

Although the technical level of the two modules is actually not low, after Anna spent all the funds she had prepared, these two automated farms used for growing vegetables and rice were almost as cheap as cabbage to her.

In addition to the first set of highly sealed modules that were used to verify the feasibility of the technology and were sealed to space grade, a lot of money was spent.

The second ordinary farm spent some money on purchasing sensors and control computers, but the planting block with a side length of four meters and a length of twenty meters did not actually cost Anna much money.

The total cost is not even one twentieth of the enclosed planting module used for experiments.

Because all the pipes, metal frames, automated robots, conveyor belts, etc. inside are all DIY products that Anna made by hand.

All the raw materials are almost equivalent to the price of scrap iron, and are recycled and reused resources from Tokyo.

For this purpose, when building these two agricultural modules, Natasha made several trips to the nearest scrapping yard that handled scrapped vehicles.

Within a few days, two or three hundred scrapped cars that needed to be disposed of were obtained for Anna through gray channels.

Anna also used most of the remaining money to place orders with the dismantling factory and for subsequent requests for goods.

……

After removing the air conditioner refrigerant, batteries, and detonating all the airbags in those cars.

These scrapped cars were loaded into Natasha's truck and transported to the magic building in the commercial district.

After the space was also expanded, Natasha's truck can now transport more than 20 scrapped cars at a time.

Then the carts were transported to Anna's 'construction site' in the small building.

It was controlled by Anna's increasingly abnormal gravity and was torn into pieces all over the ground in an instant.

This kind of gravity manipulation, which she used more and more, was actually a new ability that Anna had researched and analyzed from the throwing ability she had obtained from the Oldest House.

Although when they were in the mountains, this gravity control was not of much use against Thor who was seriously injured and had chaotic energy.
