Chapter 164 Restaurant Opening!
"No, no, I don't doubt Lord Lin Yu's words, I just find it hard to believe!"
Lily's presence was so intimidating that Bell quickly tried to explain.
"Alright, what's your name? Where are you from? And why did you become an adventurer?"
Lily knew that the kid probably didn't do it on purpose; it was just a reaction from excitement. So she didn't pursue the matter further but instead asked about his condition.
"My name is Bell Craney. I come from a small village in the countryside. I became an adventurer in order to meet the charming heroine in the dungeon."
"ha.."
Lily was somewhat incredulous; she hadn't expected this seemingly weak little brat to have such thoughts.
After Bell finished speaking, his cheeks turned red, and he was very embarrassed. But this was indeed his dream, and if he didn't even dare to say it, how could he achieve it?
"Having dreams is great, but dungeons are very dangerous. Only by becoming a powerful adventurer can you think about other things."
It's no wonder he was raised by Zeus; he's clearly a very innocent young man, yet he has such dreams.
"Yes, Lord Lin Yu!"
Bear Grylls was very happy to see that his idol had not denied his dream.
After instructing Bell to travel to the Soma Familia the next day, the two went to continue their meal.
"Is this the Hall of Hearthfire?"
Three days later, Lin Yu stood in front of a large house covering several hundred square meters, looking up at the plaque that read "Hall of the Kitchen Fire".
Today is the opening day of the restaurant, and "Kitchen Fire House" is naturally the restaurant's name.
In the original story, after defeating the Apollo Familia and acquiring all their property, he transformed their territory into the Hestia Familia's territory and renamed it after them. Now, as the name of the restaurant, Lin Yu feels it is more appropriate.
The Kitchen God's House is not located in a commercial area and is in a somewhat remote location. However, it is precisely because of this that this three-story villa, which covers several hundred square meters, can be purchased for several million.
Although the location is somewhat remote, the Hearthfire Inn serves high-end dining, and its customers are only gods and high-level adventurers, so the remote location doesn't matter.
As for the guests, Hestia had already promoted it at the last gathering of the gods, and almost all the gods knew about it. In addition, with the allure of the divine wine, there was no need to worry about the source of customers.
"Commander Lin Yu, you've arrived!"
The two people at the door saw Lin Yu and immediately stepped forward to greet him with respect.
Both of them were members of the Soma Familia. The Soma Familia didn't have many combat personnel to begin with, and many more were expelled after the last War Game. Few of them were willing to go on adventures in the dungeons. Since the Hearth House needed people, they were naturally brought here to work.
"Um."
Lin Yu nodded and went inside the house.
[This renovation is really nice.]
Upon entering the house, Lin Yu was immediately struck by its spaciousness. The layout and decorations complemented each other perfectly, creating a pleasant and refreshing atmosphere. Even for a modern person like Lin Yu, it was quite impressive. He wondered whether Hestia had arranged it herself or commissioned someone else to do so.
"Lord Lin Yu."
There were also staff members inside who greeted Lin Yu immediately.
"Lin Yu, you've arrived."
Hearing the noise, Hestia rushed out from inside.
"Lady Hestia, is everything ready?"
"Of course, with the ingredients you provide, those guys will definitely be in for a surprise!"
Hestia was full of confidence.
When Lin Yu gave her those ingredients yesterday, she was quite surprised. The lowest grade of those ingredients was a high-grade ingredient that was hard to find outside. Many of the ingredients were completely unidentifiable in terms of their origin, and some of them were extremely special and did not seem to come from ordinary animals.
But it didn't come from an ordinary animal, so could it be from a monster?
Although some monsters do not disappear after they die, I have never heard of them being edible, and the kind of food that Lin Yu provided did not seem to be from a monster.
The strangeness of these ingredients made Hestia realize that they were probably not bought by Lin Yu, but rather brought by Lin Yu from his mysterious hometown.
As for where that mysterious hometown is and what the situation is, Lin Yu seems unwilling to say, and Hestia certainly won't ask.
"Then we look forward to seeing what you can do."
"Watch me!"
After exchanging a few words, Hestia returned to the kitchen to continue preparing.
The Hearth House currently only has Hestia as its chef, and since it's opening day, she naturally wants to make extra preparations to give the guests the best experience.
Lin Yu also planned to help out here for a day. After all, it was the opening day, and an important person was needed to receive them as a sign of respect. Hestia was cooking in the kitchen, so Lin Yu was the only one who could receive her.
"Hello, welcome."
As time went on, guests began to enter the restaurant, not frequently but consistently, and these guests were mostly deities.
Reception work is indeed a very tiring job, especially since Lin Yu had just displayed his divine power a few days ago and left a deep impression on the gods. Almost every god who came in would chat with Lin Yu for a few words, and some goddesses would even tease Lin Yu, making Lin Yu feel mentally exhausted.
Fortunately, it was only for one day, and he could just bear it and it would pass. Lin Yu could only put on a smile and deal with those gods.
As night fell, almost no more customers arrived, so after seeing off the last customer, Lin Yu announced that the shop would be closed.
Rubbing his stiff cheeks, Lin Yu decided he would never do these things again; it felt more tiring than fighting monsters all day. "Lord Lin Yu, that's enough!"
Lily, who works at the cashier, ran up to Lin Yu with a happy expression, holding a small notebook.
"How much revenue do you have?"
"1298 million Faris!"
"What?!"
Hestia, standing nearby, exclaimed in surprise; she had never imagined the revenue would be so high.
Lin Yu wasn't too surprised, after all, the Hearthfire Pavilion was a high-end restaurant that only served gods and high-level adventurers. All the dishes used top-quality ingredients, none of which were cheap. The cheapest was several thousand falis, and the better ones were over ten thousand. The divine wine was also tens of thousands per bottle.
In other words, a single meal costing one or two hundred thousand is considered a low price.
It's important to know that the dishes at Zao Huo Zhi Guan (灶火之馆) are divided into three levels. The first level uses ordinary top-quality ingredients as raw materials, with prices ranging from several thousand to tens of thousands.
The second type uses rare and precious ingredients as raw materials, and it is not surprising that the price exceeds 100,000.
The third type uses extraordinary ingredients, with finished dishes ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of yuan.
If people eat to their heart's content, it's not impossible for a single meal to cost over ten million.
Of course, for others, the third dish was excessively expensive, and almost no one ordered it today.
But there are always some wealthy people who want to try something new and see why the third dish is so expensive.
For example, Guild Master Royman also came to support the event today. He ordered the third dish, and the meal cost several million Fali. However, Royman did not feel cheated. On the contrary, he praised it highly and said that he would continue to come to eat there in the future.
