I opened a shopping mall in Xihuan

The entrance of the tavern is a small corridor made of wood. It can be seen that the owner has carefully decorated it. Not only are there pots of small pine trees tied with red bows on the corridor, there are also clusters of pine trees hanging under the herringbone eaves. As a result, it makes people feel like a fairy tale.

You Xia raised his eyebrows, wondering why there were no customers in such an exquisitely decorated tavern.

"By the way, don't be surprised when you see the shopkeeper later." When the two entered the shop stepping on the gray wooden floor, Diss suddenly reminded.

You Xia was about to ask him why he was surprised, and then he saw a 1.5-meter-tall, thin red-haired boy turning over from the counter.

The red-haired boy was wearing a linen blouse on his upper body, and a pair of chocolate-colored loose trousers on his lower body. He had a small face and a thin figure, but his cheeks were bulging, and he had a pair of rabbit teeth. Makes him very young.

The boy flipped out of the counter and jumped in front of You Xia in a few steps, and asked with bright eyes: "Are you Mr. You Xia, Xia Zhisen's boss?"

Youxia took off the hood of the cloak, nodded and said: "Yes."

"Great, you're finally here!" The young man walked around excitedly, "Hurry up and buy my shop, I don't want to open a shop again!"

Youxia looked at Diss inexplicably, and Diss spread his hands, with the same puzzled expression.

However, as an intermediary, Diss still responsibly introduced to You Xia: "This is the owner of the Pine Cone Bar, Mr. Beru, he is a squirrel orc, don't look at him so young, in fact he has In their 20s."

"That's right, Mr. You Xia, forgive me for being a little excited to see you, after all, I opened this store because of you."

"I?"

"That's right, you sit here, and I'll explain to you slowly." Beru said, pulling Youxia and Diss to sit at a square wooden table in the room.

Even though it was daytime, the light in the room was very dim, and the oil lamp on the table was shining orange, illuminating Beru's face bright red.

"Two months ago, my tinman friend and I traveled to Los Angeles. It was a rainy night. My friend and I were tired and hungry, and we were very embarrassed by the rain. At this time, our eyes suddenly A warm light came in, that is the light from the window of your milk tea shop, we went to your milk tea shop to hide from the rain for a while, I still remember he ordered a cup of the cheapest pearl milk tea, and I ordered a cup of hazelnut milk tea , I will never forget that sweet taste in my life.

"At that time, I felt that it was so wonderful to have such a small shop that gave warmth to travelers. It happened that I had traveled enough, so I discussed with my friends to settle down in Los Angeles. We don't know how to make good milk tea, so We decided to open a tavern. We bought this dilapidated tavern with all our savings, renovated it, and reopened it. We just didn’t expect that the seemingly ordinary tavern business would be so difficult.

"There are too many pubs on this street. Our store has no advantages except for the warm decoration. I don't know how to make wine. They are all from other wineries. They are expensive and expensive. Generally speaking, although my friend Apu is very good at knives, he can't cook delicious barbecue, and he can't keep customers, so the business is getting worse and worse, losing money every day, our shop is simply a failure!"

You Xia thought in his heart that his milk tea shop had given others wrong enlightenment invisibly, and the game system was really sinful.

That's right, it's all the fault of the game, and it has nothing to do with him being a worker in the game.

"So, do you want to sell this store now, or rent it out?" You Xia asked.

"If you want to buy, you can buy it, and if you want to rent it, you can rent it. If you want to buy it, I bought it for 75 gold coins, and I will sell it to you cheaply, [-] gold coins!" Beru said very boldly, "The rent is also cheap How about the annual rent of seven gold coins, it is very cheap!"

You Xia nodded, ever since he knew that he would spend five hundred gold coins to buy the manor, he now feels that any price is cheap.

However, the cheapest is the cheapest. He really didn't have any extra money on hand to buy another house, so he said, "Then let's rent it. Can you show me the house?"

"No problem!" Beru replied, jumping up from his chair.

Then, the red-haired youth took Youxia and the two up to the second floor through the wooden stairs, and wandered from box to box along the dark and narrow corridor.

There are seven private boxes in total, and the chairs are covered with dust because they have not been used for a long time.

"I thought there would be many big businessmen coming to my shop to drink and talk, so I specially decorated and furnished the boxes, but no one came at all, which made me very disappointed..." Beru chattered endlessly.

You Xia opened the window and looked out of the building. Behind the tavern was a row of cedar forests surrounded by walls. Inside the walls, several tall reddish-brown buildings were connected together. The walls of the buildings were thick and solemn, not like ordinary people. address.

"What's there for?"

Diss replied from the side: "Looking at the color of the outer wall, it should be the site of the Pharmacists Union!"

Youxia let out an "oh" with little interest, and closed the window.

After visiting the second floor and going downstairs, when you turned the corner of the stairs on the first floor, Youxia found a door below that seemed to lead to the basement, so he asked Beru, "Does this store have a cellar?"

"Yes, there is also a very small wine cellar. The place is really small, about the size of a toilet. I only piled a dozen wine barrels in it and it is very crowded. Do you want to go in and have a look? "

"No need, I know there is such a place." He replied, thinking that when the house is remodeled later, he can put an ice magic circle in the wine cellar to freeze some meat and vegetables needed for the day.

Back on the ground floor, Beru gave them a final tour of the kitchen.

The kitchen is still relatively large, with a large stove and a long table. The air inside is not very fresh because of the fire all the year round. The roof and walls are covered with dusty smoke marks. There is also thick dirt on the table that cannot be washed off, which looks a bit unhygienic.

You Xia quickly scanned the entire kitchen, and then set his sights on the tall man standing beside the cooking table.

The man was wearing a simple beige robe, his gray-brown curly hair was disheveled over his shoulders, and under the hair was a rough face that looked very unfriendly.

Perhaps in order to prevent the hair from falling into the food, he wrapped a black triangular cloth scarf around his head. Just looking at the part above the neck, some people will definitely think that he looks like a pirate.

Beru happily introduced to them: "This is my good friend Apu I mentioned to you. He is a tinman, so he is much bigger than ordinary people."

Apu, who had been sullenly, opened the corner of his mouth, revealing a row of white teeth.

If it was said that when he stared and didn't smile, he gave people the feeling of being stern and stern, but now he is stern and cunning.

"Hello, my name is Apu, and I'm the chef at the Pine Cone Tavern." The Tinman said in his rich voice.

You Xia, who is currently rushing to supplement his mainland history course, quickly searched for the keyword "Tinman people" in his mind.

It is said that after the giants perished at the end of the first era, there were still a few descendants of giant hybrids who were expelled from the mainland by the giants on Tinman Island in the far north.

These tinmans with some giant bloodlines are not as powerful as real giants, but they are still much taller than most ethnic groups on the mainland. An adult tinman can at least grow to a height of [-] meters.

It is said that each of them is brave and good at fighting. Although their limbs are well developed, their minds are not simple. Therefore, although the number of Tin Man people is even rarer than that of Wood Elves, they still survive tenaciously from the first era to the present. It can be said that they are quite ancient. ethnic groups.

"Apu is very good at meat, he can easily disassemble a sheep, strip the meat off the bones, and cut the lamb as thin as parchment, like this," Beru said from the cupboard. A plate of processed meat came out, and the red and white meat on it was evenly arranged on the baking tray. The color was very attractive, "Isn't it very powerful?"

You Xia's gaze was attracted by the plate of meat all of a sudden, and a few thoughts turned in his mind, and he praised: "It's really good."

To be honest, if Youxia knew that the news about his hot pot restaurant had not been spread, he almost thought that Beru was recommending talents to him in a targeted manner.

Beru put the baking tray back into the cabinet and sighed dejectedly: "It's a pity that such a powerful knife is useless in a tavern. If you don't have good cooking skills, no matter how well the meat is handled, it's just good looking."

"I just need a chef with good knife skills." Youxia said, looking up into Apu's eyes: "If you don't have other work arrangements in the future, would you like to be the chef of my new restaurant?"

Apu laughed twice: "I only have good knife skills, and I can't do anything else."

"It's fine if you have a good knife. What I want is to cut meat and vegetables." You Xia said, "Just being my chef will require a lot of work, but correspondingly, the salary will not be low. If you don't like being outside In public, you can stay in the kitchen all the time."

Apu frowned hesitantly, and looked down at Beru, as if seeking his opinion.

"That's great, Apu, please agree, the salary Mr. Youxia will give you is definitely much higher than what I will give you!" Beru cheered, and asked Youxia again, "Would you like to recruit another one as a gift?" Food, I can work very well!"

You Xia couldn't help laughing and said: "Your plan is not bad, but will there be no gap if you change from a boss to a waiter?"

"I've had enough of being a boss for a month. It's not comfortable to be a boss who loses money every day. I'd rather be a carefree worker!"

You Xia thought about it for a while, and Xindao Beiru's lively, cheerful and talkative personality is quite suitable to be a waiter, and said: "I have seen the house and I am very satisfied. I will pay the deposit later, and wait for you to open the store Dispose of the furniture and wine in the house, and then we sign the rental contract and labor contract together, can we finish it in three days?"

"No problem," Beru patted his chest, "I can sell the wine, tables and chairs to another tavern at a low price tomorrow, and then clean the sanitation again, and you can come to collect the house the day after tomorrow!"
