Looking at the sunset outside the courtyard, Lu Yuan rubbed his shoulders and prepared to close the courtyard door. [No pop-up novel website] Even with the help of machines and invisible servants, the logistics of preparing a banquet for dozens of people still made him very tired.
Although the banquet is not over yet, his work is over - to put it simply, Jiamuwu's food reserves have been exhausted - so the bet he made with the soul demon Youmeng is not sincere at all. . Even if he lost, Jiamuwu would not have much food left at that time.
Lu Yuan didn't know that there was a fight on the mountain with the pastries he had worked so hard to bake. Even if he knew, he would laugh it off and everyone would be happy. He would definitely be happier if he knew that because of the pastry war, Ximi didn't even get a piece.
"Do they sell snacks here?" A little girl's voice sounded outside the door.
Lu Yuan opened the door strangely and looked around, but there was no one there. He made sure that he looked down and would not ignore someone else just because he was short. That would be too rude. But there really isn’t…
"Who is it?" Lu Yuan said to himself. There are so many weird abilities in Gensokyo that it’s normal to not find them.
Just when he was about to close the door again, a little girl... oh, to be precise, a fairy girl about one meter tall wearing a blue dress with six-leaf ice crystals on her back, flew in front of her. The little girl put her hands on her hips and looked at Lu Yuan angrily, "We are talking to you!"
"Oh, it's here!" Lu Yuan was surprised. Then he smiled. This child was probably knocked behind the door when he opened it... But who would stand against the door when it was opened? "Hello, this is a tea house. We only sell tea." Looking at the cute look of the little girl, she would have been a little tired if she hadn't been today. He really wanted to help her make some more snacks.
"And I'm sorry, the store is ready to close..." Lu Yuan raised the door panel in his hand. Insert the door panel into the groove in front of the door and completely seal the door. This is the traditional closing method.
"I understand," the ice fairy had no intention of giving up. She quickly rolled up the sleeves on her arms and clenched her fists. "Xiao Hong said that all I need to do is defeat you! Then let's start quickly, we are the strongest!" The ice fairy took out a spell card directly from the pocket of her skirt, "Ice Talisman icibsp;...Hmm~ !”
Lu Yuan quickly opened a piece of candy. It was stuffed into the girl's mouth, perfectly interrupting the casting of this spell card.
"Well, it's so sweet...have you admitted defeat? Then hand over all the snacks and candies!" The ice fairy kept sucking the candies and flying around happily. She also clenched her little fists and praised herself, "I am indeed the strongest!"
Lu Yuan scratched his head. He had realized what was happening. "The Xiao Hong you're talking about, shouldn't she be a little girl about nine years old, wearing red clothes and wearing pigtails? Are you classmates from Terakowu?" Lu Yuan thought of the little girl after she returned to the classmates room. Bragging about how to "submit" to Lu Yuan... what a naughty kid these days!
"There are indeed no more pastries. There was a banquet at Hakurei Shrine today and they were all used up."
"Has Reimu Hakurei held a party? She didn't invite the strongest Cirno?! Humph. I will make trouble for her..."
Lu Yuanhan... By the way, you still know that you are causing trouble? "Um, Cirno..."
"How do you know my name?!" The ice fairy immediately looked at Lu Yuan warily, "The teacher said that the uncles who talk to us like this are Luo... Luo..."
"Carrot?" Lu Yuan prompted with a smile.
"That's right! It's a carrot!" That's right, you are a fool!
"Ciruna, are you a fairy? Even if I have some snacks. Do you have money to buy them?" Lu Yuan thought to himself, it's not like these children in Terakoya are just trying to show their cuteness for nothing, right?
"Of course I have it!" the ice fairy announced loudly, taking out a shining...ice cube from her pocket! And... Lu Yuan took a closer look and saw that there was a frozen frog inside...
"Can this kind of thing be used as money? The banks are crying!" Lu Yuan said while holding his chin, wanting to see the little girl's anxious look. (Attention. You have gone further and further down the road of crime!
"What do you mean!?" Cirno showed a troubled expression, and there was just a drop of sweat on her forehead. "Can't you make it clearer?"
"Okay, buying snacks, tea...all require money." Lu Yuan took out a gold coin and gestured, "Gold is fine too."
"But..." Cirno crossed her arms and argued without any discouragement, "Isn't shopping just about exchanging beloved items?"
Lu Yuan was speechless... It felt like he had been given a cup of chicken soup for the soul!
He couldn't help but rub his forehead, "Carnegie?"
"It's Cirno!" The ice fairy angrily floated in front of Lu Yuan and stared at him. "You called someone by the wrong name, are you an idiot?"
"You are right, I was wrong! Trading should be about exchanging each other's beloved items." Lu Yuan said sincerely. He turned around and started to operate the ice cream machine, making a cup of vanilla ice cream, sprinkled with fruit pieces and cherries, He inserted a small spoon and handed it to Cirno. "This cup of ice cream is a thank you gift for you..." He looked at the frozen frog and shook his head resolutely, "I will definitely not take your money."
The ice fairy put the frozen frog back into his pocket, held the ice cream bowl in his hands and flew away...
Lu Yuan felt very happy - this feeling of being taught a lesson by others was actually very good. In Lu Yuan's mind, he has always felt that equality of payment as a measure is far better than equality of value in terms of fairness.
What Cirno said was not wrong at all.

The next guest who arrived was Kaguya Horaiyama, Fujiwara Meiko's good friend, who was attending the banquet.
She complained about why Lu Yuan didn't switch to a promising career as a figure maker, and then played with the cups of the few dolls left here. In the end... she hoped that Lu Yuan could follow the photos she brought and help a few unknown people. Those present will make a few special tea cups...
Lu Yuan kept shaking his head and refused, saying that I only sell tea here.
But the girl's stubbornness was simply beyond imagination - she kept making bids, and in the end she actually wanted to exchange for some Penglai medicine! Although I don't understand. But it looks so awesome. ...In the end, Lu Yuan gave in without any surprise, and it was free of charge - as expected, from a young lolita to an old man of several thousand years... ahem, can Yu Jie crush you? My legs feel weak when I see a woman. You are so poisonous!
Lu Yuan accepted photos of a beautiful lady and two rabbits... ah no, two rabbit spirits, as a reference when making cups. In the end, Lu Yuan could only say that he could not guarantee the construction period. He hoped that she would come to pick it up in winter, or during the Chinese New Year. It would be completed next spring. If she could wait until the year after next...
"Okay!" Horaishan Kaguya ran away happily. The rumor about the so-called "one quilt" had just spread, and she didn't want to be seen in Jiamuya. "I'll pick it up tomorrow."
Didn't anyone listen to me? ... Lu Yuan leaned heavily on the counter. As expected, Gensokyo is full of weirdos.
…
"Buy tea." A calm voice said.
"No". Lu Yuan, who was lying on the counter, answered feebly.
"Oh?" Huh... there seemed to be another voice!
"Wait! Sir, please stay, there is tea!" Lu Yuan suddenly woke up.
He quickly stopped the beautiful girl in maid uniform, with tears streaming down her face, someone finally came to buy tea! Moreover, it is the Scarlet Devil Mansion, the largest tea consumption giant in Gensokyo. I’ve finally come to you! Yakumo Purple thought he would protect the dignity of the Green Tea Cult Leader, but...she was really overthinking it! Lu Yuan is now a tea house businessman, and of course he sells all kinds of tea. Although he was not short of money, since he opened his business, of course he mainly focused on making money.
When he leaves Gensokyo in the future, he hopes to leave this tea house to little Reimu. So big customers like the Scarlet Devil Mansion must be grabbed.
He looked at the silver-haired maid strangely. Sakuya Izayoi. At this time, he was crossing his arms in front of his chest, holding four throwing knives in each hand, as if leaning forward... "Oh, guest, what are you doing with the knives?"
"Manicure..." Sakuya Izayoi calmly stood up again and put away the remaining seven throwing knives. He left a handful to mark on his fingernails - but the ten fingernails were all as full as cardamom, and it would be a pity to break any of them.
"I'm Lu Yuan, the owner of Jiamuwu. Does the guest need tea? Black tea or green tea? Medium grade, top grade or special grade?" Lu Yuan introduced with a polite smile.
"Sakuya Izayoi. The head maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. I need black tea, the best black tea! The Scarlet Devil Mansion only uses the best." Sakuya Izayoi returned to the counter, answering with perfect etiquette but a distant attitude. .
The two people expressed a tacit understanding, I don't know you, and I have never met you...
the best? Sure enough, he is a big customer, so my careful preparations are not in vain. Lu Yuan thought that after the trouble last time, the business was ruined. Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse, and the Scarlet Devil Mansion came to purchase tea. But yes, in the entire Gensokyo, or in the whole world including inside and outside the barrier, you will not find tea grown better than Lu Yuan.
Even if Lu Yuan puts away all the best and special products, the top products can still satisfy such rich users.
Lu Yuan entered the inner room and took out the specially made black tea from the constant temperature cabinet. This kind of black tea is made from the finest fresh leaves. Whether it is fermented or fried, it is all done with magic in the best weather - without touching hands or other containers in the middle - and finally using tissue paper and Wrapped in gold foil to protect against moisture. Every gram of tea produced in this way is worth a thousand dollars.
Lu Yuan calls it, “Specialized in producing the most exquisite and top-quality black tea from the Scarlet Devil House.”
