There is a happy inn in the capital.

March 6th, Year 9 of the Purple Star Dynasty

Sunny weather, suitable for opening a business.

The group arrived at the reception hall early, and Li Shuchen said to everyone, "Do you still remember our slogan?"

They said in unison, "Remember, always smile when you see a guest, and they won't run away."

Li Shuchen: "Alright, I hereby declare the Happiness Inn officially open for business."

Li Shuchen secretly opened the task panel and clicked "Accept Task." The panel displayed that the host had accepted the task, and the task progress was as follows.

[Happiness level 0]

[Profit value: 0 taels of silver]

[Popularity score: 0]

The mission deadline was 7 PM on the 30th day of the third month of the ninth year of Zixing. Li Shuchen waved and exited the panel.

Xiao Feng lit firecrackers at the entrance of the inn, the crackling sounds attracting many passersby.

Li Shuchen led everyone to stand on both sides of the doorway, clapping in unison, and shouted out...

"Take a walk and have a look."

"Yuelai Inn changed its name"

"Changing it to 'happiness' sounds really good."

May happiness reach every home.

One month before the new store opening

"Prices will be discounted by 20% across the board"

"The flowers bloom in spring"

"The peach blossoms are so beautiful."

I turned peach blossoms into a dish.

"Transformed into pastries and drinks"

"So that the workers can have enough to eat"

I'll lower the price.

"The price of a single main dish remains unchanged."

"The second item is half price"

Stop looking around and stop hesitating.

"Come in and take a look quickly!"

These words were made up by Li Shuchen last night, and Grape was completely captivated by Li Shuchen's performance this morning.

Her young lady is so amazing! She can even compose poetry now. Following Li Shuchen, I feel so proud and honored.

"Everyone, please come in," Li Shuchen greeted everyone with a smile.

"Everyone, please come in! Our 'Spring Special' is so delicious!" Grape mimicked the words perfectly.

An older woman dressed in bright red clothes and wearing a big red flower in her hair was pulling along an older woman in blue clothes next to her.

Question: "Who is this girl? She's quite pretty, but her clothes are really shabby."

"Isn't this the Li family's daughter? She just recovered from her illness a few days ago,"

Aunt Honghua's eyes widened immediately. "It really is her! She's actually that little fool!" Aunt Honghua's eyes darted around in their sockets.

He pulled the woman in blue along, saying, "Come on, let's go inside and take a look."

As soon as Aunt Honghua entered, she exclaimed, "Oh, there are peach blossoms on this table! They're so beautiful!" Aunt Honghua touched the peach blossoms without a second thought, scattering petals all over the table.

"Yes, it looks really beautiful," the woman in blue said, gently touching the flower.

Aunt Honghua waved her hand and said, "Waiter, bring me a pot of free boiled water."

"Please wait a moment, sir, the complimentary boiled water will be here soon." Xiao Feng turned around and pouted.

"Xiao Feng, watch your attitude," Li Shuchen said quietly, pulling Xiao Feng aside.

"Miss, you don't know, this matchmaker Wang often comes here to freeload water, but she hasn't spent a single penny," Xiao Feng said in a low voice, indignant.

"Alright, you go serve her first. Just keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't cause any trouble," Li Shuchen said, glancing at Wang the matchmaker before turning to the others.

As long as nothing goes wrong today, that's fine; I don't care about anything else.

Li Shuchen looked at the three or four tables of guests scattered around, including the table with Matchmaker Wang. He wondered when they would ever earn 1000 taels of silver.

"Miss, don't worry, it's not noon yet." Perhaps it was because Manager Xu noticed Li Shuchen's furrowed brows that he was worried about her, so he came over to comfort her.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Uncle Xu." Li Shuchen relaxed his brow and smiled at Manager Xu.

Upon hearing "Uncle Xu," Manager Xu felt a surge of relief, chuckling and stroking his beard, "You're too kind, Miss."

Lunchtime is around noon; it's a bit early now, so we're mostly just having tea.

Li Shuchen moved a stool and sat by the door, watching the passersby.

A dozen or so burly men appeared not far away. The leader had a scar on his cheek, making him look somewhat ferocious.

Li Shuchen's eyes lit up; here comes someone!

He rushed forward and bowed, saying, "Excuse me, sir, are you looking for lunch? Come and try my shop! The second main dish is half price!"

Li Shuchen's smile was so genuine that it made her older brother feel embarrassed.

The elder brother returned the greeting with clasped hands, saying, "We were also originally coming to Yue... Happiness Inn for a meal. May I ask how this young lady is addressed?"

Li Shuchen: "Just call me Li Shuchen, please come in."

Four tables were filled up with a clatter.

Li Shuchen greeted everyone with a warm and polite smile: "May I ask what you gentlemen would like to eat?"

Scarred Brother: "Two bowls of beef noodles each."

Li Shuchen: "Alright, it'll be right there, please wait a moment, gentlemen."

He ran to the kitchen and said to Chef Wang, "Aunt Wang, thirty-two bowls of beef noodles."

Cook Wang beamed with delight: "Thirty-two bowls, what a big order!" She then quickly began cooking noodles and slicing beef.

Li Shuchen also busied himself, even serving four dishes of pickled vegetables.

Place the beef noodles and pickled vegetables into four separate trays.

Li Shuchen, Grape, Cook Wang, Xiao Feng

Each person carries one tray, with four bowls of beef noodles per tray, requiring two servings.

Li Shuchen picked up one; it was heavy. He'd have to work on his strength. He carefully walked to Scarface's table and said, "The noodles are here."

Li Shuchen went up in turn

A rough, angry voice rang out, and someone stood up and slammed their hand on the table: "What's wrong with you? We didn't order any pickled vegetables!"

"Erhu, don't be rude!" Scarface's words immediately deflated him.

"Miss, we didn't order any side dishes, is there some mistake?" the scarred man asked gently.

Li Shuchen quickly explained, "It's free. It's my fault for not making it clear. From now on, every table will get a free dish of pickles when we eat here."

Scarface clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Thank you. My brother was very rude just now. I'm sorry."

Li Shuchen smiled and said, "It's alright, please enjoy your meal."

She didn't take it to heart, and after serving them their noodles, she went to greet the others.

A middle-aged man with a round face and thick, neat eyebrows, who wasn't particularly handsome, carefully helped a woman who looked a few years younger than him. The woman's clothes and accessories were clearly a cut above his own.

"Madam, please be careful on the steps," the man said, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection as he looked at the woman.

The woman's face was radiant, and she clearly lived a good life.

The man led the woman to the counter.

Manager Xu asked, "Gentlemen, would you like to have a meal or stay the night?"

Round-faced man: "For the hotel, give me the best room."

Manager Xu: "Our 'Heaven' class rooms are still under renovation, but the 'Earth' class rooms are quite nice too. We have four types: 'Plum Blossom in the Snow,' 'Orchid in a Secluded Valley,' 'Elegant Bamboo,' and 'Fragrance of Chrysanthemums.' Which room would you like to stay in, sir?"

The round-faced man chuckled and said, "Is that so? That's an interesting name," then turned to the woman and asked, "Which room would you like, madam?"

The woman's voice wasn't heard, but another voice came instead.

"Oh, Mr. Li, are you here to stay too?" A man with protruding ears and a sunken forehead strode in.

He greeted Mr. Li warmly.

A woman followed behind, but she walked more slowly and was not as well-dressed as the man who had just entered. She lifted her skirt as she tried to step over the threshold.
