Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

Lin Xiaoqian walked over and opened the door, coming face to face with the old beggar.

The old beggar reacted quickly, bowing deeply to Lin Xiaoqian and saying, "May your business prosper, boss! Congratulations on your fortune!"

As soon as the door opened, the aroma of braised meat became even stronger, and the old beggar couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Lin Xiaoqian kept in mind his greedy look as he savored the aroma of the meat.

He chuckled to himself and said, "Old man, come in. Our shop is newly opened, and you're our first customer. Here, have a bowl of our signature braised pork trotter rice to try."

The old beggar was somewhat surprised and asked, "Can I go in?"

Other shopkeepers would shoo away beggars like flies when they saw them coming to their shops.

Lin Xiaoqian nodded matter-of-factly: "Of course you can."

Hearing this, the old beggar's eyes darted around, and he said again, "Young boss, I, an old beggar, don't have the money for a pig's feet rice meal."

Lin Xiaoqian smiled and said, "It's alright, you're the first customer here, it's fate that we have this little shop, I'll treat you to a meal for free. If you enjoy the food, please go out and promote my little shop and say a few good words about it."

Upon hearing this, the old beggar didn't refuse anymore and walked in generously, finding a seat near the door.

Jiang Shuang carefully observed the old beggar from the side. She saw that his face was thin and his eyes were clear. He looked to be in his early fifties. He walked with light steps, which did not seem like an old man over fifty.

Could it be that this old beggar is really a top-notch master, just like Xiao Qian said?

Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang returned to the kitchen. Lin Xiaoqian went to cut the braised meat, while Jiang Shuang went to serve the rice.

Jiang Shuang touched the earphones on her ears and said to Lin Xiaoqian, "These earphones are very useful!"

Lin Xiaoqian smiled and said, "Sister Shuang, it's good that it works!"

That way, Sister Shuang can also help her entertain guests.

The old beggar, sitting in the shop and seeing that no one was around, freely observed the small restaurant.

The floor tiles in the store were smooth and shiny, as if they had been polished, so shiny that you could see your reflection in them.

Something overhead illuminated the entire room as if it were daytime; it didn't look like a luminous pearl, but it was even brighter than one.

There were many things in front of him, and every single one of them was something he had never heard of or seen before.

The owner who can afford to open a store like this must be no ordinary person.

But strangely, it was obvious from their movements that the two young girls in the shop had no internal strength and didn't seem like martial arts practitioners.

However, the girl who hadn't spoken yet, though she had restrained her aura, still had sharp eyes and an indescribable fierce temperament that gave him a very dangerous feeling.

This combination is a bit strange.

The old beggar was filled with doubt.

However, he quickly stopped thinking about such things.

Lin Xiaoqian brought over a large bowl of braised pork trotters and rice topped with bright red braised pork.

The braised pig's feet are glistening with oil, making your mouth water.

There were also a few green vegetables and two sliced ​​braised eggs on the side.

The old beggar picked up his chopsticks, eagerly picked up a piece of braised meat, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

The pig's trotters are stewed for a long time until they melt in your mouth, with tender skin and soft, chewy meat.

Following the recipe provided by the system, the specially made braising liquid gives the pig's feet a rich aroma, with multiple layers of flavor, and a savory and delicious taste.

The rice, soaked in sauce, paired with a bite of perfectly blanched bok choy, made the old beggar think that life was truly wonderful.

But it feels like something's missing.

The old beggar looked up and asked Lin Xiaoqian, "Boss, do you have any wine?"

In previous worlds, this definitely wouldn't have existed, since selling alcohol required permits and such.

Moreover, if a drunkard gets drunk and acts out in her shop, how can she continue doing business?

However, this time with the government backing it up, as a restaurant, it has everything it needs.

Jiang Shuang happened to be next to the cashier, and behind her was a wine cabinet built by the government, filled with all kinds of wine.

So he pointed behind him and said, "Yes, we have some. What would you like to drink?"

The old beggar asked with some surprise, "Do you have a wide variety of drinks in your shop?"

Jiang Shuang nodded and began to introduce: "Our store has beer, baijiu, wine and huangjiu."

The old beggar scratched his dark cheek and asked with some difficulty, "Which kind of wine tastes the best?"

Lin Xiaoqian walked to the liquor cabinet and said, "Of course it's baijiu! Baijiu and braised pork trotters are a perfect match!"

What she really wanted was for the old beggar to get completely drunk so he could answer whatever they asked.

Upon hearing this, the old beggar quickly said, "Then this old beggar will drink baijiu."

Jiang Shuang glanced at Lin Xiaoqian and then said, "There are many kinds of baijiu, including sauce-flavored, light-flavored, and strong-flavored..."

"This will do!" Lin Xiaoqian picked up a bottle of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor), patted the bottle, and said to the old beggar, "Old man, trust me, this is the best drink to eat braised meat."

The old beggar stared intently at the wine bottle in Lin Xiaoqian's hand.

He had never seen a bottle like this before; the bottle was transparent, and the liquid inside was clearly visible!

"Little girl, don't try to fool this old beggar. There's clearly water in your bottle!" The old beggar pretended to be angry. How could she try to fool him with water?

Lin Xiaoqian personally poured the wine from the bottle into a small wine glass, saying as he poured, "Old man, this is not water, this is top-quality wine. It's usually very expensive and is reserved for entertaining wealthy and important people. It's just that we have a special connection with you, so I brought it out for you to taste. Please smell it."

Jiang Shuang glanced at the bottle of 56-proof Erguotou, which retailed for 9 yuan a bottle, and couldn't help but twitch her lips. How come she didn't know that Xiao Qian could be so good at deceiving people?

The old beggar looked down at the wine in his glass; the liquid, which looked like clear water, actually emitted a strong aroma of wine.

He quickly picked up the wine glass, put it to his nose, and smelled it.

Mmm! It tastes authentic!

A small bite begins to taste sweet, but quickly turns spicy.

That's strong liquor!

The old beggar smacked his lips and exclaimed loudly, "Good wine!"

He had drunk his fair share of fine wines in his life, but even the best wines were murky. Nothing was as good as the wine before him, which was both clear and sweet, leaving a lingering aftertaste.

The old beggar ate a mouthful of braised pork trotters and a sip of Erguotou liquor with great relish.

I feel like I'm living like a god right now!

The old beggar finished his drink, put down the glass, and shook his head.

Soon, a blush spread across his face, and his eyes became somewhat unfocused.

Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang watched from the side, exchanging a sly glance.

"Grandpa, are you satisfied with your meal?" Lin Xiaoqian asked with a smile.

The old beggar let out a burp, waved his hand, and said, "Satisfied, satisfied. This is the best thing I've ever eaten in my life."

"Old man, to be honest, my sister and I grew up in the countryside. When we first came to this city to open a shop, we were unfamiliar with the place and the people, so we were a little unsure of ourselves."

As Lin Xiaoqian spoke, he poured some more wine for the old beggar.

The old beggar listened, looked at them with hazy, drunken eyes, and said, "Young girls, it's not easy to make a living in this city."

Lin Xiaoqian chuckled: "Old man, I once heard in the countryside that some martial arts masters can leap over walls and uphold justice. You've been wandering the martial world for so long and have seen so much, have you ever met such a person?"

The old beggar narrowed his eyes and slowly said, "Martial arts masters? Of course there are. But true masters often keep their skills hidden and don't easily reveal their abilities."
