The first step of the plan to attract customers with the liquor’s aroma was successful. This was the first time Saipan Tavern had customers waiting before it opened for business. Moreover, there were more than 10 of them.The source of this ᴄontent ɪs novelenglish.net . Firᴇ(.)nᴇt

Of course, this was only customers with intentions. The 2000 copper coins price tag would filter out some more customers. Those who remained were the real customers.

Irina wasn’t back yet, and Annie went upstairs to draw.

Mag looked at Amy, and smilingly said, “Little Amy, let us serve the customers that come to the tavern today.”

“Mm-hm.” Amy nodded obediently, clenching her fists, and said, “I will be gentle with them.”

Mag opened the tavern’s door, and smilingly said to the 10-odd customers waiting outside, “Thank you for waiting. Welcome to Saipan Tavern.”

“Boss, you really open on the dot. You won’t even let us in to wait when you see us waiting outside for so long,” a customer complained as he had never suffered such grievance before. It was all because that liquor’s aroma was simply too enticing.

The other customers also grumbled.

“The tavern will be open on time every day. All of you will just have to come after the sun sets,” Mag replied calmly. The opening time would not change. This was the tavern’s rule.

Even though they were a little displeased with Mag’s inflexible reply, since the tavern was already open, they weren’t going to stand at the door. They all went in, wanting to taste that mesmerizing liquor.

“Maotai—2000 copper coins a bottle.”

“Whiskey—2000 copper coins a bottle.”

The customers discovered the price tag of the two liquors and the side dishes hanging obviously above the bar counter.

“It’s so expensive!” someone exclaimed.

There weren’t many taverns on Romo Street, and their prices were usually friendly to the ordinary people’s pockets. They were usually priced from tens of copper coins to over 100 copper coins a bottle.

However, this tavern’s two liquors were priced over 2000 copper coins a bottle!

“Boss, are you selling your liquor by the vat?” a customer asked.

“They are displayed on the cabinet.” Mag pointed at the cabinet which was filled with the two kinds of liquors.

“It’s a little expensive for such a small bottle.”

“I have a friend coming over. I’ll go fetch him.”

“What a coincidence. I also have a friend…”

In the blink of an eye, there were only three or four customers left in the tavern.

A man in an official’s robe asked Mag, “Boss, what is the liquor that you hang at the door?”

Mag pointed at the round Maotai bottles on the cabinet, and replied, “It’s Maotai.”

“I would like a bottle of this Maotai and a helping of each side dish,” that man said before taking a seat with the man who came with him.

The customers were placing their orders. The customers who stayed behind naturally could afford a bottle of 2000-copper-coins liquor. They, too, placed their orders and took a seat.

2000 copper coins a bottle liquor was considered expensive on Romo Street, but it wasn’t an unusual price at the famous taverns and bars in the north of the city.

And the liquor’s aroma was what attracted these customers to order a bottle to try.

A black horse-drawn carriage slowly drove on Romo Street.

Abraham was sitting in the carriage with a grave expression.

He had just come out from the Ministry of Defense. Because of Josh’s incident, he, who hadn’t been caring about the official affairs for a long time, stepped into the Ministry of Defense for the first time.

However, the incident was as bad as he had heard before. Josh was no longer the Josh he knew, and there was no way Abraham could oppose Andre’s decision.

The devil was indeed a terrifying existence.

He didn’t know how Josh got involved with the devil. Perhaps no one would ever know.

Currently, he couldn’t do anything about it. He didn’t even know how to explain this incident to Vanessa.

He only wanted to find a place to have a drink alone.

Right then, a whiff of liquor’s aroma came in through the carriage’s window.

“What fragrance is that?” Abraham’s nostrils flared, and he lifted the carriage’s curtains in surprise. A whiff of liquor’s aroma washed over him, and the words “Saipan Tavern” appeared in his line of vision.

“Stop,” said Abraham.

The horse-drawn carriage stopped after moving forward for a short distance.

Abraham said, “Turn back to that tavern behind us.”

The horse-drawn carriage turned back, and stopped in front of the tavern. Abraham alighted from the horse-drawn carriage, and sized up this tavern that looked rather new. His gaze was quickly attracted by the small metal cage hanging on the pillar at the door. A cup of liquor was locked up in there. The enticing liquor’s aroma came from that small cup.

“This liquor’s aroma is simply too enticing.” Abraham went up to take a sniff before he pushed open the door, and walked into the tavern.

Since he wanted to have a drink, he should have something good. If he was going to get drunk, he was going to get drunk on good liquor.

There weren’t many people in the tavern, but as soon as Abraham entered, he almost fainted over the rich liquor’s aroma.

It was the aroma of the liquor that he had smelled at the door, but it was much richer and seductive in the tavern.

Furthermore, judging from how those customers were sipping and savoring the liquor with small glasses and their sated expressions, this liquor was indeed a great one. It didn’t just smell nice.

Amy saw Abraham, and her eyes lit up immediately. She was about to call him.

Mag happened to walk out of the kitchen with a plate of pig ears salad. His gaze, too, flickered when he saw Abraham. He calmly asked, “What would you like to drink?”

Amy threw a glance at Mag, and as if she suddenly remembered something, she shut her mouth obediently, and didn’t make a sound.

Abraham looked at the pig ears salad on Mag’s tray, and was surprised at how similar this red salad was to the sliced beef and ox tongue in chili sauce. Even that spiciness smelled similar. He took a quick look at the drinks’ list on the wall, and said, “I will have one bottle of what they are drinking and a helping of each side dish.”

“Alright.” Mag nodded, and went to serve the dishes.

Abraham retracted his gaze. He intended to find a seat when he saw that quiet little girl sitting behind the bar counter.

The little girl looked about four or five, and her looks were exquisite. She had a head of black hair and a pair of shiny black eyes. She sat there quietly, looking very well-behaved and cute.

“Hello, little girl.” Abraham greeted her with a smile.

“Hello, Fat Grandpa.” Amy greeted him docilely too.

“How dare you…!” The guard at the side turned solemn. How dared this little girl call the lord duke that.

“He is so fierce to me.” Amy immediately looked pitiful and whined. There were tears glistening in her big eyes.

“What’s wrong with you? Go out, go out.” Abraham turned around to kick that guard on his butt, and chased him out before smiling pacifying Amy, “Don’t be afraid, sweetie. F-Fat Grandpa already chased him out.”

“Mm-hm.” Amy immediately revealed an angelic smile.

Abraham heaved a breath of relief as he looked around him. Fortunately, they weren’t at Mamy Restaurant.. Otherwise, Little Boss wouldn’t say anything about being afraid—she would just release a fireball instead.
