The bearded dwarf had returned just in time, and Anduin had already asked people to remove the hot pot and replace it with fruit and wine, the fruit came from the Silver Fortress, and the wine was the inventory of the estate, and Berval had a penchant for collecting wine, so much of the difference in the price earned from the kobold was used to fill the wine storehouse.

At this point, Anduin finally had time to say a few words, and he stood by the fireplace with a glass of red wine, and asked softly to the people present, "Is this dinner to everyone's liking?" ”

"Of course! It's definitely the best thing I've ever eaten in my life! ”

"Thank you, Lord Earl, for bringing us a special Winter Veil Festival."

"I enjoy the delicious hot pot today, I don't even want to eat my own food!"

"Yes, yes......"

For a while, the townspeople responded with the best evaluations, and even Van Cleef and Ed had to admit that the hot pot was not only novel and delicious, but also brought them a unique taste of the tongue.

Anduin was very satisfied with the enthusiastic response of the townspeople, and said with a smile: "With your words, my hanging heart can finally be completely let go." Today, I invite everyone to eat hot pot, in addition to welcoming the Winter Curtain Festival together, I also want to use this dinner as a trial operation, and I am very happy to see everyone's satisfactory comments, because among the mysterious recipes I have mastered, there are countless novel foods that are absolutely comparable to hot pot! ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted a burst of exclamations, a hot pot is enough to subvert their concept of food, if it is really as Anduin said, there are too many kinds of novel and delicious food, it will definitely make countless people's eyes focus on this tavern hotel opened on the border of the empire!

At this time, some people couldn't help but worry, although the average income of their storm townspeople exceeded that of Silver Fortress, but it was far from the point of eating meat every day, hot pot was delicious, and it was still able to bear it by gritting its teeth during the New Year's holidays, but this was managed to taste other delicacies, and when I thought of this, my heart was very uncomfortable.

Anduin was extremely keen to see what these people were thinking: "Rest assured, although I can't invite everyone to dinner from time to time for operational reasons, the price of the same delicious food is high and low!" Starting tomorrow, the hotel will serve breakfast for everyone, so you can eat more comfortable food at the same price, and I will observe the acceptance of everyone before deciding how fast the new product will be launched. ”

Anduin's explanation made the townspeople smile, but some people frowned, thinking that Anduin was hiding the most critical profit issue, if it could really eat better food at the same price, how could the hotel be profitable? They agreed that Anduin was preoccupied with the welfare of the townspeople, so he quietly made the sacrifice.

Considering the special geographical location of Stormwind Town, he did not want to give up the existing market of the townspeople, and instead used the strategy of small profits and quick turnover, so that the hotel could operate smoothly first, and then through the accumulation of time, attract a sufficient number of foreign tourists and enter the high-speed channel smoothly.

Anduin didn't explain why, but the townsfolk kept his kindness in mind.

Time quietly came to midnight, the Winter Veil Festival officially arrived, after that, the god of the north wind will bring severe cold, the sea will freeze, heavy snow will cover the mountains, all the townspeople after more than half a year of work, ushered in a rare opportunity to rest, everyone shows a happy smile.

Without Anduin's command, everyone raised their glasses in unison to welcome this beautiful moment, and Van Cleef said loudly: "Earl Anduin, on behalf of all the staff of the Silver Fortress Architects Association, I wish Stormwind Town a prosperous day, and the Tavern Inn will be prosperous!" ”

The bearded dwarf also learned to congratulate, and the townspeople spoke in unison, and the scene suddenly became lively, but the more Van Cleef listened, the more strange he felt, and opened his mouth to ask, "The tavern inn sounds a little strange, Earl Anduin, you don't have an official name?" ”

Before Anduin could answer, many townspeople rushed to suggest it, some elegant and some popular, but most of them agreed with the name Storm Inn, but Anduin smiled and said, "The Storm Inn is good, it can promote our Storm Town, but it is not suitable to name this tavern inn." ”

Old Kane asked, "My lord, what are you going to call it?" ”

"Hearthstone!"

Anduin raised his hand and pointed to the Hearthstone by the fireplace: "In our Holy Empire, wanderers must bring their Hearthstone with them when they travel far away, and I want to make this inn a place like home, so that the first feeling of customers when they hear the name of the store is to think of their own home, so that those who have come here will regard this place as a real home, and let those customers who have not yet come have the idea of returning home!" ”

"Hearthstone Inn!"

Old Kane nodded heavily: "That's a good name!" ”

Van Cleef and the others couldn't agree more, they all felt that Hearthstone was more appropriate than the storm, and seeing this, Anduin officially announced: "From now on, the Hearthstone Inn is officially opened, I hope everyone can visit more often, and I promise not to be disappointed!" ”

[Hint: You complete the main quest - build the Hearthstone Inn.] 】

[Hint: You've been rewarded with crafting a free library item with crafting materials from the host.] 】

"So, it's okay to make shipboard artillery?"

[Of course, as long as it's an item, it can be made!] 】

"And what about rune eggs?" Anduin remembered the rune egg that gave birth to the Ancestral Turtle Prophet, but he had only made one hundred and sixty crystals, so that he could not grit his teeth and chop his hands.

[Yes, rune eggs are special and can be classified as items, but it is necessary to ensure that the volume of the manufacturing materials cannot be smaller than the rune eggs.] 】

"Basketball big egg, where do you want me to find it? Wait a minute! I remember that in the Twilight Dragon's lair, there seemed to be a few broken eggshells, all of which Jones had packed and bought, would that be okay? ”

[Although there is no way to form a card with broken eggshells, as long as the broken parts are completed, rune eggs can be made.] 】

Anduin smiled slightly, the Ancestor Turtle Prophet is also a prophet, with this little guy, at least he can get some enlightenment and prevent trouble, but the next follow-up task made Anduin frown.

[Hint: You have obtained the next main quest - Turning Losses into Profits.] 】

"Turning a profit?" Anduin had a bad feeling in his heart.

[Explanation: As a great hotel destined to become famous, how can it lose money all day long?] Please make a lot of efforts to turn the turnover from negative to positive! 】

[Hint: Hearthstone Inn's current turnover is minus 487 energy crystals.] 】

"Why are there so many, did you miscalculate?"

[It takes three hundred crystals to exchange Taray, the cost price of today's treat is one hundred crystals, it costs fifty crystals to build a hotel, about thirty crystals (month) to supply generators, and seven crystals (week) to supply food No. 1, a total of four hundred and eighty-seven energy crystals, my math is still okay, there is no mistake!] 】

"But you made a mistake for not telling me that there was a turnaround!"

[Reward: Living Crystal Cultivation Method.] 】

"Living crystals can still be planted?"

[Of course, the reason why the price of living crystals is five times that of normal crystals is because it can be planted and produced, and a steady stream of crystals is produced, and this system just has the best way to cultivate living crystals, ensuring that the host can plant melons and get beans! 】

"Sounds pretty good...... Anduin's expression improved slightly, "so how long is the production cycle?" ”

[Confidential! 】

“……”

Anduin rolled his eyes, not wanting to pay attention to this angry system anymore, and instead arranged for the manor guards to escort the old and weak women and children, and forced the drunken Hera Tieli into the guest room with Van Cleef, and with the bearded dwarf in his presence, he was not afraid that Jones would run away with the dragon egg.

Later, Anduin personally set up the front hall with Ed and the others, and the Grand Knight looked at the tavern that was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye, and said sincerely: "Anduin, I have a hunch that your idea will come true soon, this place is very much like my home, I will sit on the sofa and keep vigil tonight!" ”

"I'm afraid you're too comfortable and fall asleep unconsciously."

Anduin laughed, said goodbye to Eddard, took a bottle of red wine and walked into the corridors on both sides, returning to his own backroom space, but he had just closed the door of the corridor, next to the fireplace leading to the underworld, and saw the steaming hot pot and the table full of dishes, and in the flickering firelight, it outlined the graceful outline of sitting in Sonia, and a pair of big watery eyes turned to Anduin's body, obviously waiting for someone to arrive.

"You haven't eaten yet?"

Anduin asked, and Sonia wrinkled her nose, "Aren't you the same?" Sit down, I'm going to starve! ”

Anduin raised the wine bottle in his hand: "Do you want to drink some together?" ”

"It's so cold." Sonia stretched, "Why not?" ”

"Laughing so evilly, I won't drink this wine!"

"Don't mind, I'm just wondering, when will Grandpa Ferding come back?"

"I don't know, he is going to send Uncle Bolval's coffin to the Northern Islands, I really didn't expect that such a good person as Uncle Bolval would suddenly leave this world......"

"Okay, don't talk about these unhappy ones, whether it's Uncle Boval or Grandpa Fordin, they must all want to see us spend every day happily, cheers, happy Winter Veil!"

"Well, Happy Winter Veil."
