Chapter 249 Tavern Opening
What they didn't know was that Xiao Nan had spent a month training his maid for the sake of the tavern.
Singers, dancers, opera singers, and musicians—even the steward became the tavern manager, the cook became the tavern chef, the old woman became the waitress, and the old lady was in charge.
If the tavern is too big, with only one floor for selling alcohol and the second floor for people to rest, this tavern is similar to Zhuangzi's design, square and like a castle.
The bottom is empty and used to store wine, ice, fruits, vegetables, and meat.
One difference between taverns and restaurants is that the cooks in taverns only prepare a few delicious dishes to go with the drinks, unlike the cooks in restaurants who work much harder.
At this moment, the cook was preparing snacks to go with the drinks in the kitchen.
Peanuts are a drinking buddy's best friend; they'll fight to the very end—cheap, delicious, and perfect with drinks.
Spicy peanuts, five-spice boiled peanuts, salt-baked peanuts, and fried peanuts are all popular snacks with drinks. Firstly, they are cheap and affordable for ordinary people. Secondly, if they sell well, the price of peanuts will increase, which will encourage people in the surrounding areas to grow them.
She would select a few people to teach them how to roast peanuts, and that way, there would be vendors in the town selling garlic peanuts and spiced peanuts.
This can be considered as adding an income source for the people.
Besides this, there's lotus root. There are so many ways to cook lotus root: stewed, cold-dressed, or boiled with rock sugar. All of these can be used in dishes.
And these things, the ponds and lakes she bought are full of them, and some people make a living from them.
With this restaurant, they can use up a lot of lotus roots.
With two vegetarian dishes, and since drinking isn't complete without meat, braised and smoked pork is naturally a must.
Every day, a large pot of pork head, trotters, tails, and hocks are served, all of which are great dishes to accompany drinks. However, these items need to be processed again after being braised before they can be served.
For example, pig's ears, paired with a cucumber strip and mixed with some secret seasonings, are extremely delicious.
For example, pork knuckle, when mixed with minced garlic, has a unique flavor that is irresistible.
For example, pork head meat, with its alternating layers of fat and lean meat, is more delicious than any other meat for meat lovers.
Besides this, there are also pork jerky, which comes in sweet and savory, spicy and numbing, and five-spice flavors, all made with lean meat.
For the overly fatty meat, it was directly rendered into lard.
The cook makes these dishes every day. There seem to be many different kinds, but each dish is made in a whole vat. It's not like whoever makes it first stir-frys and seasons it right away.
This saved a lot of trouble.
On the first night of its opening, the tavern was filled with alcohol, with dozens of different kinds, including regular alcohol, spirits, medicinal wine, fruit wine, osmanthus wine, peach wine, milk wine, and rice wine. Xiao Nan had just made these in his space when he had nothing better to do.
Since she and Space advanced at the same time, Space has had a separate room, which Longlong calls the Time Space.
Simply put the ingredients inside, and in a day, the wine can be transformed into a century-old beverage; in a minute, you can brew any kind of wine you desire.
The fermentation time has been shortened, but what else can be done in this time and space remains to be discovered by her.
Currently, it's being used for brewing wine. Longlong doesn't say much to her; this is her master's happy time in the human world, so let her do whatever she wants.
On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, the day of the opening, snowflakes were falling from the sky. Even so, people who were interested in the tavern, whether they were from afar or nearby, or just watching, were all waiting.
Xiao Nan, holding the old lady's hand and wearing a brocade cloak, led all the family members to the tavern.
The door wasn't locked, but it opened automatically the moment Xiao Nan arrived.
Xiao Nan walked up the steps, turned around, and looked at the people who were eager to enter the tavern.
"Today is the first day of my tavern's opening. All drinks and snacks are half price. This promotion is only valid for today. Prices will return to normal tomorrow."
Afterwards, Xiao Nan and the others went inside.
Everyone took their positions and immediately got into their roles.
The shopkeeper, the waiters, the wine servers, and the food and bowl servers were all in their proper places.
Xiao Nan and the old lady then took their seats, set out a table of tea and snacks, and leisurely looked down below.
A large crowd surged in through the entrance, looking at the huge hall that resembled a plaza, decorated like a fairyland.
Various flowers and plants separate the dining table, and the whole room is filled with the fragrance of flowers, as if you have entered a world of flowers. The greenery overhead makes you feel like you have entered a deep forest, which has a unique charm.
Even the tables and chairs were different from those in other taverns; the seats were soft and comfortable, and there were clothes racks all around, all beautifully designed.
After everyone sat down, they quickly took off their coats; it was so warm.
When he saw that no one came to serve him, he was a little stunned, but when he glanced at a piece of paper on the table, he immediately picked it up and read it and realized what was going on.
It lists the names of various dishes and drinks; just tick the box next to whatever you want to eat.
Once everything is confirmed, you can call the waiter to hand over the order, and then just wait for the food and drinks to arrive.
The clever ones understood immediately. After making their selections, they handed them to the old woman who served the dishes. The old woman carried a large tray and brought over everything they wanted in one go.
As for the bill, it must be settled after all the food and drinks have been served. This is the rule of the tavern. If you don't want to follow it, you can leave, but we can't force you.
Who would dare not pay the bill? This is the princess's tavern, with clearly marked prices and fair dealings for everyone.
The entire tavern has no private rooms; all the tables and chairs are in the main hall. However, the tables are separated by flowers and plants, so they can be considered independent.
The first person to place an order was the first to taste the tavern's unique drinks. Some people wanted to try all the drinks, but because of the warning, the first person to place an order only ordered a few.
At tables with only men, they usually order strong liquor, while at tables with women, they order fruit wine.
On the first day, few people ordered medicinal wine; they all wanted to try every kind of wine in the tavern.
Of course, wealthy people order the most expensive wines. Don't assume that the wine that man bought that day, which cost 100 taels a jar, was the most expensive.
Here, whether rich or poor, no one dares to shout or make a fuss.
Looking down from the second floor, all the tables were full, and everyone was drinking the wine they had been longing for, praising the chef's superb skills in hushed tones.
"As expected of a tavern personally built by the Princess, no other tavern in our Dragon Kingdom can compare."
"Yes, this wine and this food are hundreds or thousands of times better than those in restaurants."
"Exactly, it can't compare to ordinary restaurants, it's just too expensive."
"If you think it's too expensive, then drink the regular kind. Good wine is expensive, but the aroma of the wine wafts through the hall. Even if people who drink regular wine can't afford it, they're still very content just to smell the aroma."
Not only that, today is the first day of business, and every table of guests has a fruit platter with fresh, juicy fruits that are a rare treat in winter, making it hard not to drool.
After the initial surprise, a pot of tea was served on each table. Everyone expected it to be just ordinary tea, but after tasting it, they were all speechless with astonishment.
This tea is so fragrant, it's priceless. I never expected to taste such exquisite tea while drinking wine.
Moreover, every table was the same, without any favoritism. The princess is truly generous.
Today was definitely worth it, so worth it!
The old lady looked towards the door, pursed her lips, and smiled bitterly: "With so many people, they probably won't disperse until tonight."
"They're all current, nothing more."
"Should we hire a few more people? We don't seem to have enough."
“I wouldn’t dare use someone who’s not one of our own, but I have a way to make the maids and servants less tired.”
