A leisurely life: I have a scenic area

Chapter 159 The Tavern Opens, Melodious Folk Songs, and the First Special Employee!
The summer vacation festivities continue.

In the ancient village, a quiet little shop was cleaned up and turned into a tavern.

The renovation will take half a month.

Lin Ran, the employee recruited by the recruitment store, has arrived.

Lin Ran has a great temperament, short hair, and always wears casual clothes. Her style is very sunny, somewhat like the singer "The Landlord's Cat".

It's beautiful, but not in a sharp, overt way; rather, it has a gentle, understated beauty.

Qi Yue was initially curious about her, but after spending a day or two with her, he discovered that Lin Ran was a very energetic person, no different from any other person.

She keeps a close eye on the tavern's renovation progress every day, and sometimes goes to tourist attractions. She eats and lives in the staff dormitory and staff canteen.

Because of her good looks, some employees even tried to strike up a conversation with her.

But Lin Ran always gave off a polite yet distant vibe towards everyone.

The sense of boundaries is very strong.

There's a comfortable feeling of being with myself.

She only appeared particularly relaxed in front of Qi Yue.

Sometimes, she would play the guitar in her room and sing a folk song.

The song is very pleasant and soothing to listen to.

"The tavern will be finished in a few days."

"This will be your tavern from now on. Give it a name."

Qi Yue said to Lin Ran.

Lin Ran did not refuse, but looked at the tavern that was under renovation and said:

"Let's call it Qingfeng Tavern, that's a good name."

She didn't think about it at all; she simply thought the name was simple and sounded nice.

Just like the Qingfeng Mountain Scenic Area.

Lin Ran is very easygoing, and chatting with her is quite comfortable.

The tavern is under renovation, while the Leifeng Pagoda is under construction on the western mountain.

The construction of this project is quite challenging.

First, a very steep stone staircase was built, then a crane was built on top, and construction materials were transported up little by little before the Leifeng Pagoda was built.

Moreover, the area is always shrouded in mist, so construction can only be carried out after noon.

It's not easy.

But as long as the money is right, everyone is still very enthusiastic about their work.

The hustle and bustle at the scenic area continues, with people coming and going every day.

At the "Happy Forward Rush" event, there are challengers every day.

The carousel and grass skiing tracks were both packed with people queuing up.

You have to wait in line for at least an hour to play it once.

There are also two large dragon ships from the Qingyun Sect.

They come and go without stopping.

Every time it leaves fully loaded with guests.

As a result, the scenic area's revenue is very good, and Qi Yue is not short of money now.

Especially during the summer vacation, conservatively estimated, the scenic area can make a net profit of several million yuan in one month.

For a scenic area, this is already quite good.

A few days passed like this.

Qi Yue spends his days walking his horse, rubbing the tiger's head, and playing with the little panda for a while.

That day, Qingfeng Tavern was finally renovated and ready to open for business.

To run a pub, you need supply channels, employees, and a variety of alcoholic beverages and snacks.

It's not easy to make.

Previously, Qi Yue would have found someone with relevant industry experience to be the store manager and then handed the store over to that person to manage.

But the store manager is just an employee, so he's not really that attentive.

But Lin Ran is different.

Lin Ran's personal abilities include strong business acumen.

Qi Yue gave her a sum of money for renovations, and Lin Ran began to renovate the tavern.

The room was filled with wooden tables and chairs, and surrounded by lots of green plants.

If it's at night, the lighting is soft, creating a wonderful atmosphere.

It's a place that makes you feel relaxed as soon as you walk in.

The tavern is opening today, and Qi Yue plans to go and show his support.

Furthermore, Lin Ran personally performs as the resident singer at the bar every evening from 7 PM to 8 PM, singing folk songs. Other resident singers will follow after her performance, but Lin Ran always sings during this time slot.

Around 6:30 pm.

Qingfeng Mountain has become completely quiet.

Security and cleaning staff patrolled the scenic area, cleaning up the area and clearing away tourists.

The zookeepers herded the animals back into their pens, checked them over, fed them some water and food, and then sat aside to watch them eat while also resting for a while.

The equipment team put all the grass-skiing carts into the warehouse and cleaned the carousel.

The scenic area has also made many efforts in places unseen by tourists.

After walking along the road from Qingfeng Mountain to Qingyun Sect, you will see a canyon stretching from the foot of the mountain to the halfway point, where many sect landmarks are brightly lit.

When you reach the end of the road, look towards the entrance of another scenic area.

In the distance, one could see the quaint food street, brightly lit and bustling with activity. Qi Yue strolled along the road.

These are all his assets, and they all belong to him.

Thinking about this, I feel quite good.

Both dogs were with him today; perhaps they were full and had played enough, so they just wanted to keep their owner company.

Before long, Qi Yue arrived at Qingfeng Tavern.

He went into the tavern.

Xiao Hei and Xiao Tie can be quite noisy outdoors, but they never voluntarily go into indoor environments like this.

So the two of them lay quietly by the wall at the entrance of the tavern.

Prepare to wait for Qi Yue to come out.

The tavern was already quite crowded.

People sat in small groups around a wooden table, some drinking beer from brown bottles, shaking dice, and drinking excitedly.

Some people just sit together and chat.

Qi Yue saw an empty seat at the bar and sat down.

When the bartender saw the owner of the scenic area coming over, his usually skillful movements became a little stiff, and he hurriedly came over to ask Qi Yue what he wanted to drink.

It was summer, and although it was 6:30, it was still quite hot walking along the way.

Qi Yue suggested something refreshing and low in alcohol content.

Upon hearing this, the bartender immediately took out a round-mouthed glass, and then, seemingly out of nowhere, produced an ice cube. After a quick shaving motion, he placed an ice ball into the glass.

Next, I poured in some unidentifiable foreign liquor, and then poured in about half a bottle of cola.

It was then handed to Qi Yue.

Qi Yue looked at the fine wine in his glass with considerable surprise.

The recipe is actually very simple: just add some beverage and ice to spirits.

But pubs are all about the atmosphere.

Changing to a high-end glass and hiring a bartender instantly changes the whole experience.

Does it taste better this way?
No, it's more expensive to drink it this way.

Qi Yue picked up the glass and took a sip. The alcohol content was not high. The first taste was of cool cola, and only after savoring it could one taste the alcohol.

Qi Yue was quite satisfied with the glass of wine.

He looked around the tavern.

The atmosphere here is great, relaxed and leisurely.

It's a great place for young people.

If I had to point out a drawback, it would be that, following the rules of the tourist area, the place closes at nine o'clock.

Most pubs stay open until late at night, at least until midnight.

But that's how Qingfeng Tavern is; it closes at 9 PM.

The food street is brightly lit all night long. If you're not satisfied with the drinks at the pub, you can stroll around the food street.

Qingfeng Tavern is simply a place for tourists to rest briefly.

There's a stage in the corner of the tavern.

The stage was simple: a circular floor, a microphone propped up, and a comfortable-looking wooden chair.

It's 7 o'clock.

Lin Ran, holding a guitar, walked gracefully and lightly onto the stage.

She adjusted the microphone slightly to ensure that both the guitar sound and her singing could be recorded.

Then, she chose a song and began to sing softly.

A car drove by after the rain.

"Driving through the pale twilight"

"The old tin car travels south, but my lover is gone."

Listen to the poetry radio station under the thick smoke.

Her voice is perfectly suited for folk music.

It's languid, melodious, and has a touch of comfort.

Qi Yue looked at her and listened with great interest.

I must say, it actually feels pretty good.

Many tourists' eyes immediately fell on Lin Ran.

"listen well!"

"Wow, you sang so well!"

"Is it some famous singer?"

"She's so cool!"

Several girls were very excited and, looking at Lin Ran, unconsciously took out their phones to take pictures.

The other tourists were also watching intently.

At this moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten the fatigue of the day.
The melody of this song is all I can think about.

"Just grow old, and let loneliness never wake up."

"You yearn to leave, but there's nowhere for you to stop."

"Just sing, squint your eyes."

"And the collapse of tears is merely an existence that hasn't yet arrived."
