Because the system has no specific requirements for the task of opening a store, the time when the tavern opens every day becomes very casual, for example, today, it is almost night, and the sign at the door of the tavern is still hanging that it is temporarily closed, although you can see the lights on in the hall, but the regular customers passing by have not bothered the owner in this situation, after all, those who have offended the rules of the tavern have suffered to varying degrees, even if the sign at the door just forgot to pick it up.

"Why haven't there been any guests today?" Today it was Feng Yan's turn to look at the store, she was leaning on the table of the bar with her hands on her cheeks, pouting and looking at the empty tavern hall, which should be the hottest time for business at this time.

Several small service robots are huddled around a table, and on the table there is a pile of small square crystals, and they are holding small gray and transparent crystals in their small mechanical hands to change their companions.

"You must have forgotten to take off the sign that was closed."

Compared to the others, Mia, who is a mechanic, is more like a tech nerd, and after having a stable environment, she spends most of her time in her room fiddling with her robots, and as soon as she comes downstairs, she hears Fengyan's self-talk, and she quickly guesses the reason.

"yes, I said why?" Hearing the reason Mia said, Feng Yan remembered that the last time she visited the store, she seemed to have made the same mistake, but she didn't get up and go outside the door to take off the sign, but still remained in a daze.

I saw Mia come to the bar and put a box-shaped robot on the table, only to see that this little robot had a large clockwork behind it, and walked towards Fengyan in a daze while turning, and when she walked to Fengyan's side, she fell in front of her, and then red light appeared all over her body.

Awakened from a daze by the little robot that suddenly pounced in front of her, Fengyan was about to throw the robot that looked like it was going to explode, but only to see the robot split in half, and several smaller robots came out, playing music while spinning back and forth in front of her, only then did she realize that she was being teased by Mia.

saw the door of the tavern suddenly open, and Zhang Lin led Alice, carrying large bags of fresh seafood and vegetables and other things from the outside.

"Closed so early today?" Zhang Lin asked as soon as he entered the door, but he glanced at Fengyan behind the bar, and said with a smile, "Oh, I understand, it's not open at all." ”

"I just forgot ......"

"Then today should be a holiday, let's eat hot pot tonight." Seeing Feng Yan's entangled appearance of wanting to explain, Zhang Lin felt very interesting.

Not long after, there was a movement upstairs, Emma, who has often run outside to rob the demon hunter business for a while recently, also teleported back from the outside, when her figure appeared at the staircase, there was still some bloody smell of monsters on her body, it seemed that she had just completed a commission, and saw that everyone downstairs was busy processing the ingredients, and wanted to come down to help, but Zhang Lin drove her upstairs to go back and take a shower first, after all, the smell of monster blood on her body was not good.

Zhang Lin is chopping large pieces of pork into minced meat, and stirring diced vegetables with it, pouring some sauces and condiments into it as he stirs, and placing it on the side of a ball of unprocessed dough.

"Is this going to make dumplings?" Feng Yeon, who was handling seafood, asked.

Before Zhang Lin could answer, Alice stood aside and nodded, and said thoughtfully: "It's not delicious, it's dumplings, it's fun......"

Before she finished the second half of the sentence, she was interrupted by Zhang Lin's minced fingers on her forehead, "Who taught you this?" ”

"Who else, of course, is you, the master." Alice pouted.

Under the guidance of Zhang Lin, a few people who had never made dumplings finally wrapped a bunch of strange-shaped dumplings, put the electric hot pot that did not need to be plugged in on the table, and then served the processed dishes to the table, poured bone broth, and the table was hot.

The door to the tavern was pushed open again, and Ciri and Triss walked in, and Triss waved awkwardly, as if she were younger than Ciri.

"I'm here again, what are you going to eat today?"

"How many more litters of rats burned today?" Seeing the visitor, Zhang Lin couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Nonsense, today's commission is something else, how can there be rats every day."

As a sorceress proficient in fire magic, Triss earns her living expenses in Novigre by doing odd jobs such as solving the rat infestation in the warehouse, and since she met Ciri, she has also pulled Ciri into the water, leading Ciri around every day, so that the other sorceresses know what to do.

"Come on, you shouldn't have seen how to eat today." Zhang Lin beckoned people to sit down, and put the meat slices into the pot like a demonstration, "Just put whatever you want to eat in the pot, and eat it with dipping sauce when it is cooked." ”

As a result, before Zhang Lin finished speaking, the meat he put down just now was taken away by Alice, who had been staring at it for a long time.

"Eat this with fast hands, slow hands, if you want to eat more, don't be too sven." Zhang Lin watched the rest of the women take away all the things he had prepared one after another, and continued to explain helplessly.

Both Triss and Ciri were curious about this way of eating and quickly joined in.

"Recently, there have been a lot of things in the port, and there are plague guys found in the merchant ships from the south, and I am here to help deal with it today, and because of the blockade of the port, many people have started to make trouble." Triss munched on something as she said, "It looks like something like the conspiracy of the Nilfgaard Empire, who seem to want to make Novigre a mess." ”

Because she had been an advisor to Temeria, who had died, Triss was very sensitive to this kind of thing, if this was really the action of the Nilfgaard Empire, the Kingdom of Redania, which had a deeper impact on Novigre, would definitely take measures immediately, and there would definitely be a huge change in Novigre at that time.

I wanted to say that these have nothing to do with his tavern, but Zhang Lin suddenly thought of one thing, that is, Ciri's biological father, the emperor of the Nilfgaard Empire, wants to take Ciri back to the palace to take over as the queen, it is estimated that it will not be long before Ciri's adoptive father Geralt will start looking for Ciri everywhere at the request of the emperor.

"Ciri, have you ever thought about being a queen?" Zhang Lin stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth, and suddenly looked up and asked Ciri.

"What?"
