Chapter 210

What Takumi did was obviously sloppy.

However, when he brought the fried mushrooms and fries to them, they were suddenly surprised.

Because it smelled so good.

Especially children like Klee and Yaoyao—their eyes lit up as they caught the aroma.

This flavor had a natural appeal to young children.

"Everything can be fried."

"Even Qingxin flowers."

"Try it; it tastes really good."

"Great for drinking."

Hearing Takumi say this, everyone immediately started trying.

French fries, mushrooms—they all had some.

Just a sprinkle of salt, yet it had an inexplicable flavor.

"This taste is really perfect for drinking."

Ningguang also expressed admiration.

She just ate a little and then stopped.

After all, it looked very oily! It would make her gain weight.

Ganyu originally wanted to refuse.

But Yaoyao had already brought one to her lips.

In the end, she had no choice but to try one.

Well, just one.

And it was vegetarian, so it shouldn't make her fat!

With that thought in mind, she took a bite.

Next, Takumi prepared the fried chicken wings and drumsticks.

After everyone finished eating, they all expressed admiration.

"Alright."

"I've given you all the spice mix."

"In the future, you can create more delicious food on your own."

"You can sell them in the tavern too."

"It's almost time."

"Get ready."

"Time to open!"

After frying several items on the menu, Takumi gave the cue.

It was time to start business.

When Diona heard this, she immediately turned over the sign outside.

The pub was officially open for business.

After that, she ran directly to the bar and started mixing drinks for Takumi and the others.

At the same time, Yaoyao ran over to turn on the tavern lights.

Suddenly, the atmosphere of the entire tavern changed instantly.

Seeing this, Ningguang expressed her admiration.

This place was truly a good drinking spot.

Also suitable for young couples on dates.

Really nice.

There were no guests yet, but Diona didn't mind.

She focused on entertaining Ningguang and the others.

It didn't take long before everyone had a glass of wine in hand.

At this time, guests started arriving one after another.

The first guests looked stunned.

Was this what a pub was supposed to be like?

Though puzzled, they still walked in, ready to experience the Mond-style specialties.

Seeing customers arriving, the waiters began welcoming them.

Lumine and Paimon also got busy helping out.

Not to mention Diona, who was constantly moving, making drinks and ensuring orders were delivered.

Many guests had heard the radio announcement.

Out of curiosity, they came to see what the place was like.

Soon, Diona was extremely busy.

Whether it was the drinks or the snacks Takumi had just introduced, many guests were curious and ordered some.

This put the young lady Takumi had just taught into a frenzy.

But she quickly adapted.

She began fulfilling orders efficiently.

Seeing how smoothly things were running, Takumi nodded in satisfaction.

At this moment, Ningguang couldn't help but say:

"Maybe your snacks could be turned into a restaurant?"

"They're convenient and fast—many people would buy them."

Hearing this, Takumi immediately declined.

"I don't want to get involved in that kind of business."

"Such a small business—does that even interest you?"

"Let Diona handle it."

It had to be said—Ningguang had a sharp business mind.

She immediately saw the potential market for these foods.

But Takumi refused.

Hearing this, Ningguang nodded.

She had only mentioned it casually.

If Takumi agreed, she could invest in it.

If not, it didn't matter.

While everyone was drinking, another guest arrived.

"Welcome."

"Huh? Mr. Zhongli."

"This way, please."

Hearing the greeting, Takumi and the others were momentarily stunned.

They immediately turned their heads.

And there he was.

Zhongli walked in, carrying his wallet.

"Oh?"

"Takumi, you're here too."

"Haha\~\~!"

Tartaglia's eyes lit up when he saw Takumi.

But the moment he noticed Ningguang and Keqing, two of Liyue's Qixing, he immediately froze.

Though speechless, he still greeted them.

"Miss Ningguang, Miss Keqing, and Miss Ganyu."

"Good evening."

The three of them nodded politely.

"Hello."

"Mr. Zhongli, are you here for a drink too?"

"Diona, this time, the drinks are on me."

"Whatever Mr. Zhongli wants, put it on my tab."

Ningguang greeted Tartaglia but focused her attention on Zhongli.

What about Tartaglia?

Today, the emperor's tab was on her!

Hearing this, Tartaglia was stunned.

Why did it feel like Ningguang was targeting him?

Zhongli also seemed a bit speechless but said nothing.

Wasn't it nice when someone offered to pay?

After drinks, he planned to go check on his car.

Speaking of which, didn't Tartaglia want one too?

Takumi was here.

Thinking of this, Zhongli glanced at Tartaglia.

"Takumi is right here. You can talk to him about getting a car."

Hearing Zhongli's words, Takumi raised an eyebrow.

What was going on?

Was Zhongli planning to introduce Tartaglia to street racing?

He thought for a moment.

But money was money, so why refuse?

If it made the old man happy, so be it.

"Haha\~!"

"Mr. Takumi, here's the thing."

"I want to buy the same model as Mr. Zhongli."

"How much does it cost?"

Hearing this, Takumi smirked.

"500,000 Mora!"

"It's high-tech."

"It's expensive."

"I'm only giving you a discount because of Mr. Zhongli."

Hearing this, Zhongli was silent for a moment.

He glanced at Takumi, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

Then, he gave Takumi a knowing look.

Half price.

Takumi understood instantly.

Meanwhile, Ningguang, Keqing, and the others had amused expressions.

Were they really using Tartaglia as a scapegoat?

Ningguang thought Takumi had undercharged.

If it were her, she would have charged 100,000 Mora.

Hearing the price, Tartaglia didn't hesitate.

He simply took out a check and handed it to Takumi.

"Then I'll take one."

To him, it was worth it.

So, he paid immediately.

Takumi nodded.

He accepted the payment and went outside to prepare the car.

Once it was ready, he returned inside.

Seeing the car, Tartaglia was overjoyed.

He wasn't in a rush to drive it, though.

Instead, he and Zhongli had a drink together.

Seeing this, Takumi turned to Keqing and said:

"I'll notify the Millelith later—there's someone drinking and driving here."

Hearing this, Keqing was at a loss for words.

Ah, this…
