Chapter 52: Chapter 52 New Machine

```

Glancing at the blueprint that appeared in his hands, Chen Yu hurriedly went next door to find Zhang Fan.

Although Zhang Fan was a car mechanic, he had at least studied mechanical manufacturing and might know someone capable of building these machines.

Chen Yu was surprised when he laid the blueprint in front of Zhang Fan, it excited him.

"Old Chen, how did you come up with such precise instruments?"

"Studied them before!" Chen Yu replied with a smile, trying to brush it off.

"You really are a genius, dough mixers, rolling machines, pancake makers, shaved noodle machines, noodle presses... and they're all fully automatic."

Zhang Fan's eyes sparkled as he looked at Chen Yu: "I can make these things. Would you let me have a go?"

"Of course!" Chen Yu agreed cheerfully.

"However..." Zhang Fan suddenly propped up his chin: "These things all seem to lack a very crucial core component."

Chen Yu was slightly taken aback and was about to check the blueprint.

[System Notification: The host will have the machine activated by the system after acquiring the machine, but corresponding points will be deducted.]

Chen Yu had a headache, realizing that the points needed seemed to increase as he progressed.

Yet, possessing these machines not only would make his life much easier, but the restaurant's revenue might even increase.

"I've already made the core components myself, it's just that some of these external parts are a bit complicated."

After this forced explanation, Zhang Fan didn't say much, just took the blueprints.

"Don't worry, Old Chen! I studied mechanics after all. By tomorrow morning, I guarantee you'll be able to use these machines."

With that, Zhang Fan excitedly took the blueprints to his workbench.

Looks like he wasn't planning on sleeping tonight.

Seeing Zhang Fan's serious demeanor, Chen Yu didn't want to disrupt him and decided to head back to the restaurant.

Suzhou City, west side, reality show filming location.

Fang Yuan sat there with her mobile phone, looking dejected.

According to the reports from her assistant over the past two days, Chen Yu's shop might already be bringing in over a hundred thousand in daily turnover.

This made Fang Yuan feel somewhat uncomfortable.

She had never imagined that Chen Yu, who was so meek when they were together, would suddenly possess such a brilliant business mind.

Moreover, now he even dared to decisively refuse requests like video calling her and Tuan Tuan.

It was as if Chen Yu had completely changed after their divorce.

However, thinking about the twenty million she would receive for completing the reality show eased her mind.

...

At four o'clock in the morning, Chen Yu rose early again.

He wasn't sure if Zhang Fan could build the machine overnight, so he still had to get up early to prepare the dough.

At four-thirty, the six girls also arrived at the shop on time.

Today was Friday, and as usual, there would be a rush of customers in the evening.

Fortunately, the semi-finished products made yesterday were enough to cope with today's crowd.

By six in the morning, Tong Ya and Tuan Tuan, as if they had agreed in advance, came over to help.

Chen Yu had just finished working a bucket of dough, sitting there drenched in sweat, panting for breath.

Without any hesitation, Tong Ya reached for a tissue to wipe his sweat.

Chen Yu frowned slightly: "It's already past six, what are you doing in the kitchen? Get ready and go to school with Tuan Tuan!"

"The dance competition ended yesterday afternoon, and the kindergarten has already started holiday. School doesn't start again until next Monday morning."

```

Chen Yu was somewhat surprised, as the kindergarten's holiday schedule really didn't follow the usual pattern.

Just then, Zhang Fan hurried into the shop and called Chen Yu to fetch the machinery.

Chen Yu quickly called Zhao Meng and Han Cai and rushed to the next door.

Before long, several machines were set up in the kitchen.

The kitchen had been designed to be exceptionally spacious, so even after adding the braised meats, it only occupied half the space.

Even with these machines now in place, there was plenty of room to spare.

Chen Yu touched the machines with a hint of excitement, thinking he could finally take it easy.

[System notification, the machinery core is automatically activated, current points balance, 376,080.]

Chen Yu couldn't help but gape, as yet another hundred thousand points were deducted.

"Old Chen, hurry up and install your core to test it out and see if it works," urged Zhang Fan from outside the kitchen.

He also wanted to see how impressive these machines would be when in operation.

Chen Yu pretended to tinker with the machinery for a bit, then immediately plugged it in.

"Old Zhang, you really have some skills! How much is it? I'll transfer it to you right now."

Zhang Fan waved his hand, "Since the design is yours, I just provided some materials and labor. Just give me five thousand for these machines."

Chen Yu took another look at the machines, noting that they were made of high-quality alloy.

At five thousand yuan, it seemed that Zhang Fan hardly made any profit.

"Old Zhang, how about I just give you six thousand! You've toiled all night, you should get some hardship pay," Chen Yu suggested.

Zhang Fan got annoyed, "Old Chen, you're treating me like an outsider now. Aren't we buddies? Every time I come here to buy food, you always sneak in an extra one or two for me!"

"The other day I came here for braised meat, and you even added two extra pounds for me. Now you're haggling over this, I'm really getting angry."

Chen Yu couldn't argue with Zhang Fan and ended up transferring five thousand.

Up to now, Chen Yu's account had almost reached twenty thousand in sales and he estimated that today's revenues might even surpass yesterday's. Sёarch* The NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Without hesitation, Chen Yu eagerly tested the dough mixer.

The machine could connect to five large barrels at once and would automatically operate if water and flour were mixed into it in a certain ratio.

This was much faster than Chen Yu mixing dough by hand.

Looking at the machines in the kitchen, Chen Yu immediately phoned the flour supplier to deliver a hundred bags of flour.

The quantity startled the supplier.

A hundred bags of flour meant ten thousand pounds, and they had just delivered flour to Chen Yu the night before.

Tong Ya was also puzzled, "Why do you suddenly need so much flour?"

Chen Yu pointed to the machines in front of him, "We can't just let these machines sit idle here, can we?"

"Are you saying you're going to introduce new products?" Tong Ya's black jade-like pupils widened slightly.

"Not exactly new products, just some staple foods!"

Before long, a large truck stopped at the shop's door.

At that moment, Chen Yu's account just happened to have a little over thirty thousand, so he transferred the payment to the driver.

Han Cai and Zhao Meng quickly pushed out two small carts from the cold storage to help unload the truck.

These two small carts were previously given to Chen Yu by Xie Jiang during the renovation.

After all, each bag of flour weighed a hundred pounds, and Chen Yu himself might not be able to carry it, let alone the two young ladies.

With the help of several delivery men, it didn't take long to store the flour in the refrigerated warehouse.

Thankfully, they had cleared out half of the raw materials from the refrigerated warehouse the day before, otherwise, ten thousand pounds of flour might not have fit.
