Chapter 209: Chapter 209
Takumi really didn't know how to react to Klee's idea.
"Alright."
"Don't do this either."
"It probably won't work."
"In that case, wouldn't others be drinking for nothing?"
"So there's no need for this. Take them all away."
Takumi felt a little helpless. Were these little girls really running a profitable tavern?
He had his doubts.
Hearing Takumi's words, although Klee and Diona were disappointed, they obediently took the items away.
Takumi, Ningguang, and the others sat down.
Ningguang looked around at the tavern's decorations and found them interesting.
Very childlike.
Girls would love this place.
It was cute.
Perhaps this place could become a favorite tavern for women.
The others also looked around curiously.
Doodles covered the walls, with images of cats everywhere.
Some of the cats even moved.
This was truly a cat-themed pub.
In addition to the cat motifs, there were also Yaoyao's dolls placed around.
After the little girls finished their tasks, someone entered the tavern.
A couple of women in work uniforms.
"You're here. Hurry up and help!"
Diona greeted them excitedly.
These were the waitresses Diona had hired today.
She thought she wouldn't find anyone.
But the moment the job posting went up, applicants appeared.
Diona hired them immediately.
She needed help running the tavern.
Many people came to Guiliyuan looking for work.
There was no shortage of potential employees.
Especially as a waiter.
Diona offered good pay.
These women had been passing by and applied on the spot.
When they entered, they were stunned.
The tavern was already filled with people.
And not just anyone—important figures from Liyue.
They were shocked.
They no longer dared to underestimate Diona.
Who would have thought that this little boss had such connections?
It was impressive.
This tavern wasn't going to fail anytime soon.
Realizing this, they took their jobs seriously and started working.
Takumi watched them before turning to Diona.
"Diona, do you only sell alcohol here?"
Diona blinked at him.
"Brother Takumi, is there a problem?"
"Isn't a tavern supposed to sell alcohol?"
Takumi was momentarily speechless.
"That's too monotonous."
"Why not do this? While we still have time, I'll teach you to make some snacks."
"They go great with alcohol."
"I'll call Lumine and ask her to bring some ingredients from Xiangling."
It was still early.
Lumine hadn't arrived yet, so he had time.
Thinking this, Takumi pulled out his phone and called Lumine.
After explaining, he hung up.
Then, he walked to a corner of the bar.
"I'll help you transform this space."
"Later, you can have someone learn how to use it."
With that, Takumi activated his ability.
He transformed the corner into a small kitchen.
He even installed range hoods to extract fumes.
Seeing this, Diona was stunned.
After finishing the kitchen, Takumi looked around.
It was still too small.
He examined the layout.
Why were there so many tables, chairs, and benches?
With a wave of his hand, he transformed the entire bar.
Under everyone's shocked gazes, the tavern changed completely.
The kitchen was now separate from the bar counter.
It had its own enclosed space.
Fumes wouldn't escape into the dining area.
The kitchen was also transparent.
Customers could watch their food being prepared.
After completing the kitchen, Takumi didn't stop.
He began creating menus for Diona.
Soon, menu cards appeared in his hands.
Everyone curiously looked at the menu.
"French fries, fried mushrooms, fried chicken wings, fried chicken thighs, fried chicken chops?"
"Are these really okay?"
Diona was puzzled.
Takumi nodded.
"You'll see soon enough."
"It's actually simple to make."
"Wait and you'll know how delicious it is."
A confident smile appeared on Takumi's face.
Hearing this, everyone grew excited.
However, when Ganyu saw that everything was fried, she panicked.
She couldn't eat this.
It would make her gain weight.
Takumi waited for a while before Paimon and Lumine arrived.
They brought lots of ingredients.
The moment they stepped in, Paimon complained.
"Seriously?"
"Why do we need to bring so many ingredients just for a tavern opening?"
"This isn't a restaurant."
"Are you making Diona mix some weird drinks?"
Hearing this, Takumi rolled his eyes at her.
"Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!"
"If you're not going to help, stop complaining."
"Move aside."
This little one just flew in and started whining.
She didn't even help carry the ingredients.
If it were up to Lumine, she wouldn't give Paimon any food.
"Hmph!"
"I'm so mad."
"I can help too, okay?"
"Look, I already carried a potato."
Paimon pouted.
She wanted to help, but she wasn't strong enough.
Takumi didn't bother with her complaints.
After bringing everything inside, Takumi signaled to one of Diona's newly hired waitresses.
He wanted her to learn.
The woman hesitated.
Was this okay?
"Lumine, you should learn too."
"This is easy."
"The key is the recipe."
Takumi materialized the spices for marinating.
Then, he handed a recipe to Diona.
Diona immediately understood.
The recipe was the most important part.
Everything else was secondary.
After that, Takumi began heating the oil.
He marinated the chicken wings and prepared the potatoes.
Lumine watched curiously.
After a few minutes, Takumi was ready.
He started frying.
First came the fries.
Then the chicken wings.
He dipped them in batter and tossed them into the oil.
Everyone was full of question marks.
This was it?
Wasn't it too simple?
