Traveling through the Immortal Realm: Starting from Becoming a Top-Level Furnace Cauldron

【Ding……】

[Currently performing a 10-pull lottery...]

In order to run the tavern well, Lu Yuguan once again resorted to the lottery method, hoping to get something useful.

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained [Fried Chicken Recipe]*1]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained [Fruit Platter Recipe]*1]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained [Braised Food Sauce Recipe]*1]

……

"Ok?"

"It went so smoothly?"

Lu Yuguan said cautiously, "Hiss... Could this be a trap?"

The system is speechless.

[You're overthinking it]

After advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, the prize pool for the lottery will be adjusted appropriately based on the host's situation.

"Oh huh?"

Lu Yuguan's eyes lit up, and he clasped his hands together in a wish: "I hope I can draw 0000 next time!"

【…】

He has accumulated over a thousand civilization points, and besides various snacks and treats, he has also mastered various brewing techniques.

Most importantly, we obtained some amazing tools:

[Props | Miniature Time Machine]

[Description: Accelerates the passage of time in a specific area; once activated, it is irreversible.]

Lu Yuguan was very satisfied.

After all, time is essential for brewing fine wine, and that's what he lacks most.

"Little sheep."

"Yes, boss!"

Little Sheep walked over carrying an empty bottle of Erguotou liquor.

"Go and make the purchases according to this list. If you can't find them, something similar will do!"

Lu Yuguan wrote down a list of ingredient names, all of which were needed for the recipes he had won in a lottery.

"okay!"

Xiao Mei took the order, then paused, "Um, boss... where's the money?"

Lu Yuguan's face darkened.

Yes.

I almost forgot, the tavern is dirt poor right now.

He pulled out a few pieces of low-grade spirit ore from the corner of his storage bag. "Take these and exchange them for magic crystals. Be careful with your money!"

Little Sheep's eyes lit up, and she grabbed the spirit ore and ran.

"Yes!"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Not long after, Little Sheep returned, followed by two monsters.

One was a lizard demon dressed in a guard uniform.

The other one, with its tongue lolling out, doesn't look very smart; it's probably a canine monster.

"Boss!" Little Sheep bounced over proudly, "I've got the manpower sorted out too!"

Lu Yuguan was stunned.

"them?"

"It's free, no wages required!"

Xiao Mei lowered her voice, beaming with pride, "Hiss sleeps during the day and patrols at night. He's just idling around anyway, so I asked him to come and help keep watch, to prevent any demons from causing trouble."

"Er Gou has a keen nose and can help with cooking."

Lu Yuguan's face was filled with shock.

This little lamb... even capitalists would weep!

"high!"

"That's brilliant!"

Xiao Mei rubbed her hands sheepishly: "Hehe, boss, you flatter me. It's just that they're easy to fool... ah, no, I mean they're loyal!"

Hiss spoke coldly: "Little Sheep said there were some rare things, so I came."

Er Gou nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes! Sister Mei said meals will be provided!"

Lu Yuguan smiled.

"rest assured."

"I guarantee you'll be completely satisfied."

*

Once the personnel were in place, Lu Yuguan immediately began to give orders, instructing Er Gou to dig out a clearing in the backyard.

He took out a miniature time machine.

"Tong-chan, how do you use this thing?"

[Select an area and infuse it with spiritual energy]

The ratio of internal time flow rate to external time flow rate is 1:365.

"A year inside, a day outside?"

Lu Yuguan couldn't help but gasp, "It's fortunate that the area is small, otherwise it would truly become a divine artifact!"

He moved the prepared brewing vats into the cellar.

"Miniature Time Machine—"

"start up!"

hum...

Time began to accelerate wildly...

Two days later, Lu Yuguan removed the time machine.

The wine, which originally needed to be aged in the cellar for several years, already has a wonderfully fragrant aroma!

The baijiu was intensely strong.

The fruit wine is sweet and refreshing.

The medicinal wine is mellow and rich.

There's even beer, the perfect treat for barbecue skewers!

"It's done!"

Lu Yu was in a great mood.

With these wines, how could the tavern not be popular?

*

The next step is to train employees.

Lu Yuguan called Sisi and Ergou over.

"Dear staff, our pub is going to go upscale!"

"Hiss is in charge of cutting the fruit and arranging it beautifully!"

"Big plate, little fruit, just spread a spoonful of sauce around the edge—don't worry about the details, just do it this way!"

"Two dogs!"

"You have a good nose, so you're in charge of watching the oil. The fried chicken can't be overcooked!"

Lu Yuguan looked at Xiao Mei.

"Xiao Mei is in charge of mixing the drinks. Follow the recipe I gave you exactly, not a single step can be wrong!"

Looking at the dazzling array of cocktail recipes, Xiao Mei's mouth was practically watering: "Okay, boss, I promise there won't be any mistakes!"

The training process was chaotic.

Hissing as he clumsily carved apple blossoms, his brow furrowed. "What a hassle. Can't we just eat them directly?"

Er Gou trembled as he looked at the oil pan.

Having never worked in the catering industry before, he was a complete novice in the kitchen.

Xiao Mei was in a complete fluster, constantly forgetting this or adding that while mixing the drinks.

Lu Yuguan held his forehead with his hand.

"Chief, I think the mission is over."

【Host】

[Have employees some confidence]

Although they are indeed not very smart.

"..."

"Your comfort only makes me feel worse."

【You're welcome】

*

A few days down.

Hiss and Er Gou's friends all felt something was wrong.

The guard captain encountered Hiss.

"Ugh?"

"What have you been busy with ever since you were laid off?"

Hiss, expressionless.

"Carving".

team leader:??

Er Gou's adventurer friend stopped him.

"What big order have you landed recently? Why are you being so secretive?"

Er Gou scratched his head: "Let's be chickens."

friend:??

The monsters were buzzing with discussion.

"I heard that Xiao Mei's almost-closed tavern was taken over by an outsider?"

"Hiss has gone to help."

"What are they busy with? They won't even open the door..."

The tavern was filled with the aroma of wine and various delicious foods day and night, attracting passersby to stop and linger.

"What's that smell? It smells so good!"

"It's Little Sheep Tavern!"

"This fragrance... is amazing!"

A monster couldn't resist knocking on the door: "Little Sheep Boss, when are you opening?"

The little sheep looked very smug through the door.

"Don't worry, everyone."

"Once all the wine is brewed, we'll naturally open for business!"

Hearing the anxious inquiries from the monsters outside the door, Xiao Mei hugged the wine bottle in her arms, feeling a warm glow in her heart.

It feels so good!

……

a few days later.

The tavern doors, which had been closed for many days, finally opened.

The blackboard at the entrance displays today's special features in a fancy, illegible handwriting—the result of Sisi practicing for half the night.

The interior has also been completely renovated.

The tables and chairs were polished to a shine, and behind the bar was a huge wine cabinet filled with all kinds of fine wines, which gleamed enticingly in the light.

Hiss, wearing a specially made vest, stood at the door with a cold face, acting as a security guard.

Er Gou was busy in the kitchen wearing an apron, and he looked rather cute upon closer inspection.

As for Xiao Mei, she was wearing a suit designed by Lu Yuguan and standing backstage, practicing chiseling an ice hockey puck.

"Are you ready?"

"Open for business!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the monsters that had been waiting outside rushed in.

"We're finally open!"

"Quick, give me the best-smelling one!"

"I want fried chicken!"

"One fruit platter, please!"

The tavern was filled with the sounds of demons.

Hiss tried his best to maintain order, his voice icy: "Line up, or you'll be thrown out."

Er Gou ran back and forth in the kitchen, so tired that his tongue lolled out.

"what……"

"I'm exhausted..."

Xiao Mei's hands flew as she mixed drinks according to the recipe taught by Lu Yuguan. Her movements became more and more skilled, and she soon attracted a large number of customers to order drinks.
