CompletedYe Wan had just graduated from culinary school and was eagerly preparing to open her own small restaurant. However, before her business license even arrived, she stumbled into a peculiar magical world.
The good news was that Ye Wan inherited a small eatery hidden in a deep alley in the main city. With her excellent cooking skills, she could revitalize the tavern and earn more gold kasis and moon silvers.
The bad news was that the small tavern was as dilapidated as a haunted house, its wooden door could be easily kicked open, and the roof leaked.
So, she decided to hire a helper and part-time bodyguard.
Ye Wan specifically went to the main city's employment office and posted a recruitment notice for her small restaurant.
However, only howling werewolves, a bard who sang terribly, and goblins who nearly ripped off the roof showed up.
Finally, while picking mushrooms on the mountain, she stumbled upon a severely injured man.
One shouldn't be a bleeding heart, but this blond man was simply too handsome.
Moreover, Ye Wan glimpsed his eight-pack abs through his tattered gray clothes.
Having a free employee with amnesia was truly a joy. The man immediately repaired the broken roof and wooden door, built a chicken coop in the backyard, and chopped firewood into tall stacks.
With this, Ye Wan finally had time to develop new dishes.
Thick-cut, milky bread, roasted over an open flame, was to be drizzled with fragrant, juicy tomatoes and basil; small, crispy croutons were to be spread with garlic aioli to accompany a steaming bowl of creamy mushroom soup.
Chopped gherkins, with parsley, capers, and chili powder, made into tartar sauce, to go with golden, crispy, tender, and juicy fried chicken straight from the pot.
The small restaurant's business boomed, and the guests who came were all sorts of oddities.
There was a witch determined to travel the world but who got broom-sick...
A mermaid who sang horribly and was extremely afraid of men: "That Andersen guy spread rumors! I'll sue him for defamation! Who would like men anyway?"
And a werewolf who transformed under the moonlight, but instead of howling, would waltz all night long...
Ye Wan often had to go into the city to deliver cherry-scented wine to the largest tavern, bring coriander custard ice cream to the Countess, and prepare anise almond brittle for the annual festival.
In doing so, she also gained a lot of information about the kingdom. For instance, the King mysteriously disappeared while riding a white horse during a festival.
Ye Wan lay back in her rocking chair, warming herself by the fire, laughing heartily as she patted her free employee Yuan's shoulder: "Don't you think this king has some screws loose? Getting lost and disappearing in the city! I should be queen!"
Yuan: "...Yes, he might have some screws loose."
【Short Scene】
Ye Wan was going to the spice shop in the main city to buy wine vinegar and olive oil when she accidentally got lost.
She walked to the mouth of a dark, silent alley, where there were only pale stucco walls and heavy walnut beams.
A woman with an old and hoarse voice, huddled in a corner, called Ye Wan over, offering her a gift.
The woman, covered head-to-toe in black gauze, extended a wrinkled hand, clutching a bright red, luscious apple.
"Eat it, and you'll stay young forever."
Ye Wan: "Auntie, do you think I'm an idiot?"

This story:
[Restaurant Management + Chang'an Monster Chronicles + Strange Tales - This story has reached its conclusion]
Duanzhi Wei transmigrates and finds herself in Chang'an, where she has no relatives left in Liangzhou. She goes to Chang'an to seek refuge with her aunt.
During the Shangsi Festival, by the Qujiang Pond, the young nobles of the Five Tombs laugh and chat.
Under the willow trees and bright flowers, the ladies of Chang'an visit the sacred site of the Great Ci'en Temple.
All these places are perfect for setting up a stall!
"Madam, you are so beautiful. How about a peach blossom milk pudding to make you even more radiant?"
"Sir, it's a hot summer day. After listening to the sermon at the Great Ci'en Temple, how about a refreshing purple perilla drink to cool you down?"
In early spring, with the bright spring sunshine, harvest some shepherd's purse and garlic chives, and grill some meat on a small charcoal stove to make spring pancakes.
In the summer heat, offer various refreshing drinks. Also, try the limited-time seasonal huaiye cold noodles and summer moon tofu chicken skin.
In autumn, during the Chongyang Festival, enjoy sweet and fragrant candied chestnuts and "immortal meat," a pork hock stewed with rock sugar all morning.
On the snowy winter solstice, warm up by the stove with a warm red bean honey milk tea. Also, try the chrysanthemum hot pot and butter pepper hot pot.
What? You say this dynasty doesn't have butter or peppers? No problem... There are other flavors to choose from.
From the aromatic street food stall to a small eatery in the alley, and finally to a famous restaurant in the West Market, the CBD of Chang'an, Duanzhi Wei successfully starts her business.
However, in the enchanting night of Chang'an, some strange customers also appear.
A flying head barbarian in a mud-gold ruqun, sir, please put your head back on before entering...
A cursed mahua doll on the Qixi Festival, please don't lie at the shop entrance; it's bad for business.
A Jinhua cat singing on the eaves, after finishing this grilled fish, go home quickly. Ancient texts say that people who get close to Jinhua cats tend to lose their hair.
A little moon-fixing person who only appears on moonlit nights, specifically requests rice balls mixed with jade fragments.
Fine, customers are always welcome as long as they pay. The shop has a variety of delicious foods, so please don't cause trouble. The Jinwu Guard is here to maintain order.
Jinwu Guard Yuan Shenji, who was mentioned: I was once saved by a kind-hearted woman outside Liangzhou City. Since Duanzhi Wei is from Liangzhou...
Duanzhi Wei: It wasn't me! Yuan Commander, you have time to visit today. Try my newly developed chestnut bolo.
She hands him the worst-baked one from the stone oven.
Yuan Shenji: ......
