Maze Fan: I opened a buffet in the maze

Chapter 349: Acquaintance and Beginning

Seeing the blond man in front of him, Fan Wei recognized him as the roofer from before!

It seems that he was being hunted down because he stole a treasure from an imperial duke and charmed his daughter and cousin.

The name seems to be 'Yarika Belén'.

"Ahem, dear Mr. Misr Fan, can you give a generous dose of red potion to a gentleman when he is injured?"

Arica Bellen covered his chest and smiled at Fan Wei with his teeth showing.

"How do you know I have it?"

With some surprise, he took out a red potion from the space and threw it over. Fan Wei took out the golden rose and blue top hat badge that he had taken out of his pocket earlier.

There was a faint magical aura lingering above it, and he probably knew that this badge had a positioning function.

But I didn't expect the other party to come directly to me.

"Haha, thanks to your help in distracting me, I was able to shake off those guys and then follow your trail all the way to the God of War Tower. By the way, I saw your feat of leaving your name on the Wall of Honor."

After drinking the red potion, Arica Belon's injuries recovered quickly and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Here." He threw something backhanded.

When Fan Wei caught it and took a look, he was immediately dazzled by the brilliant fire. It was a sparkling gem as big as an egg, emitting bright pink color like petals.

"Did you steal it?" Thinking about the reason why Aricabelon was being hunted, the thing in front of him should be stolen goods.

"Oh, please don't be so mean."

The blond man smiled and said, "This is a trophy of wisdom, skill, and courage. I am simply transferring the Duke's ill-gotten gains through my own hands to the hands of someone who deserves it more."

"Very talented." Fan Wei gave a thumbs up, "But why should I do it? I'm not responsible for selling the stolen goods."

"Didn't we agree on this before?" Yarikaberen tilted his head, a casual smile flashing through his narrow eyes, "I'll give you half of the spoils. Remember to give me 450 gold coins."

"This 'Heart of Shikla' is worth about 900 gold coins."

“So expensive!”

The glittering gem suddenly became hot. It was truly a priceless treasure! After admiring it for a while, Fan Wei threw it back.

He didn't expect that the other party was not joking, and he couldn't help but admire this character of doing what he said.

"I don't want it. I didn't help much. I won't accept the reward without any merit."

A hint of surprise flashed in Aricaberen's eyes. He looked at the man in front of him carefully, weighed the gem, and threw it back.

He closed his eyes and exclaimed, "What a wonderful statement and action. I've changed my mind. This gem is for you!"

"what?"

"I originally planned to give it to the angel-like beautiful Princess Verdilis, to be a petal that embellishes her beauty."

"But you, sir of pure heart! Your noble character deserves such glory even more!"

"I want to make a friend."

Fan Wei stood there in a daze, feeling both surprised that this person was so casual beyond his usual level and annoyed by the corny operatic lines.

“It’s okay to make friends, but you don’t have to be so exaggerated.”

In surprise, he smiled.

There is a saying that money is the root of all evil. People who can throw huge amounts of wealth around are probably not bad people. Fan Wei actually had a good impression of him.

"Take it. Wouldn't it be nice to commemorate this day with a precious gem?"

Arica Bellen smiled as he straightened his hat.

"When people see the 'Heart of Sirak' in the future, they will think of the encounter between Mr. Flying Thief and Misr Fan. This may be the beginning of the next legend."

He extended his hand enthusiastically and shook hands with Fan Wei. The two looked at each other, as if their friendship had been confirmed.

Looking at the room that was still a theater, Yarika Belén jumped onto the stage in two steps, opened her arms and turned around, "What a nostalgic scene. I've been in a theater before."

"Fan, if you bring me some wine, I can sing!"

This was probably the social cow. Fan Wei didn't feel that the other party was inexplicable. He smiled and raised his hand and snapped his fingers, "It will be ready soon. Would you like to have something to eat by the way? Mr. Caberen!"

A man's passion is built up so simply.

You don't need too many reasons, just a little bit of "like-mindedness" and you may become lifelong friends.

"Sorry, I forgot about you and haven't asked your name yet." Looking down at the stunned girl beside him, Fan Wei asked gently.

"My name is Kanisa, boss!"

Kanisa was a little excited. Today was probably the most fantastic day in her ordinary life! She met a strong man who was willing to take her in and change her fate.

Then I met my idols one after another!

Fan Wei had only been in the Imperial Capital for a short time, so he didn't know much about Aricaberen, but in the hearts of many civilians in the Imperial Capital, he was a true legend!

As an illegitimate child whose father is unknown and whose mother is just a woman working in an erotic place.

Arica Belén's background seems to have determined that he will spend his life in hardship and confusion, just like millions of other people at the bottom of society.

The harsh and indifferent environment of the imperial capital will almost make anyone who survives at the bottom feel despair.

A few years after he was born, Cablan's mother fell ill and died, and fate left him with a tragic future without leaving him any time to breathe.

But Arica Bellon is a guy who plays tricks on fate!

When he was living on the streets and about to starve to death, he recommended himself at a very young age, relying on his own ideas about the future and some natural intelligence.

He found a job in a small opera house that allowed him to make a living.

The grass growing in the wilderness is not easy to die because it will take root downwards by itself.

While struggling to make ends meet, Arica Belén did not succumb to the hardships and fatigue of life. In between performances on stage, he kept learning the singing and dancing of professional actors.

He is also very good at using his advantages.

With his good looks and clever words, he successfully obtained funding from many ladies and turned it into nutrients for his growth.

With hard work and persistence.

A few years later, Cabelen finally became a famous actor. Many people were fascinated by his singing and dancing, and his smile on the stage made many ladies crazy!

It can be said that Yarica Belén was already a successful artist at this time, reaching a peak in life that many ordinary people could not imagine.

No one expected that he would give up everything and become a pirate soon.

No one knows what his motives are.

Some people said that in order to elope with a noble lady he loved, he stole the money of the lady's parents and wanted to go to a distant country with her.

But Arica Belén stayed, and only the young lady left.

Some say that he challenged the authority of the powerful by stealing treasures in order to prove that he was not a canary, but Yarica Belén changed his stolen money into coins and scattered them on the streets of the slums.

He was a playboy and had numerous admirers and lovers.

But he never threw himself into the arms of that noble lady in exchange for comfort and protection.

His skills were extraordinary, and no one knew how an artist could have such abilities to enter and exit the treasury of great nobles without any harm.

All of this is full of legendary and confusing colors. Over time, people began to call this mysterious character the knight thief Arica Bellen!

At this moment, Mr. Dao was sitting in the restaurant where Fan Wei was still a fledgling.

"Mr. Cabernet, I admire you very much!" Kanisa approached the handsome blond man and raised her voice to express her respect, "I also want to be like you!"

"Thank you very much for your appreciation, dear young lady."

With a charming smile, Arica Belén stood up suddenly, took off his hat and saluted gracefully.

"You! You call me... Respected Madam?" Kanisa couldn't believe her ears. The legendary thief actually saluted her? !

The girl lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly and turned away.

"Every man and woman who has self-respect and self-reliance deserves respect." Cabelen leaned against the front desk and turned to look at Fan Wei who was setting up the kitchen.

"What do you think, dear Fan?"

"That's what I think. To be honest, you're too romantic to be an imperial citizen." Fan Wei came over with a bottle of wine. "Try it. I made a low-alcohol fruit wine myself. It's not suitable for children to drink strong wine here."

"Haha, I don't really like strong liquor either~" Yarika Belén raised the bottle in salute.

Feeling looked down upon, Kanisa muttered in dissatisfaction, "I'm not little anymore! Boss!"

"Everyone who comes to my restaurant will be taken care of like a good child! Now get ready to try my specialty dishes."

Fan Wei rolled up his sleeves and said enthusiastically!

————————————————I am the dividing line——————————————————

Tidy up the stove, put in place the pots, pans and a series of kitchen utensils, and walk away the coldness of the kitchen that has been idle for a long time.

A little sun god fire was ignited in the air, and the fuel in the stove drove the water in the steam boiler, slowly filling the cold space with temperature.

“It will need some further renovation.”

Looking at the small kitchen and the wide seats and stage outside, Fan Wei folded his hands in thought.

Due to different business purposes, the interior structure is naturally very different. This small song and dance theater has three floors in total, divided into upper and lower exits.

The roof is higher than the upper road surface, and the main door is on a small street in the minute hand area.

This is also the reason why Fan Wei took a fancy to it. He wants to operate the new restaurant in different areas to serve upper-class customers, order-ordering customers, and lower-class civilians.

It is not realistic to mix these three groups of people together, so they should be divided into three levels for management.

While planning for the future, Fan Wei has already set up a temporary kitchen. He took out the expansion core and directly chose to build a new branch unit.

After the core blocks were integrated, the system recognized the restaurant and a prompt popped up.

'New area expansion completed.'

Fan Wei’s sixth branch has officially settled down. With the previous accumulation, he no longer needs to upgrade the restaurant slowly.

"Spend 2000 honor points to upgrade this store to two stars."

As long as there is one high-star restaurant, the subsequent restaurants will no longer need to undergo mission tests and can be upgraded directly by spending honor points.

The three restaurants currently in operation can bring Fan Wei 6 to 700 honor points every day, and the Star Tree, which has grown branches and leaves, has also begun to reap rewards.

The honor points accumulated for a long time now come in handy!

"Build a 'decoration room', a 'planting greenhouse', and a 'universal workshop'!" Fan Wei gave the order.

Three additional buildings consumed 3500 honor points, but the expense was worth it. A three-dimensional structure diagram of the entire restaurant appeared in front of him.

The three newly built buildings were placed by Fan Wei in different locations.

He pushed open the small door of the utility room next to the kitchen, and saw a drastic change inside!

A spacious and bright small factory filled with huge mechanical structures appeared before your eyes. This is the universal workshop! You only need to put in materials to make a variety of props that are useful for the restaurant.

It just so happened that when the former theater was demolished, a lot of messy materials were left behind.

Fan Wei threw the cloth, wood, metal, etc. into the workshop, and soon the sound of gears turning was heard, and the products were distributed to the decoration room.

We moved to the decoration room again, a space covered with diagrams of the restaurant's interior structure and filled with many decoration materials.

Just by grabbing and releasing the blueprint on the screen, you can enlarge or reduce the size of every space in the restaurant, adjust and transform it.

At this time, Arica Belon and Kanisa were in the hall.

The idle girl looked around, picked up the broom, and prepared to help her boss clean the house.

Suddenly, there was the sound of a large number of objects being moved.

All the lights in the house lit up at the same time, the floors were bright and brilliant, and the walls began to rotate and change, forming new structures.

As the two men stared in astonishment, the three-story restaurant took shape one by one.

The first floor is similar to a large cafeteria. The stage in the middle has been reduced in size and preserved, and on the left and right sides are counters for serving meals, which can provide food for hundreds or even thousands of people at the same time.

The second floor in the middle is filled with private rooms with an elegant and quiet environment. It is only connected to the third floor and overlooks the first floor.

The third floor is isolated from the area below in terms of sight. The layout of the dining seats is like that of a high-end hotel, with wide partitions, which is fresh and stylish.

Decorative flags, flower pots and carpets appeared everywhere out of thin air, as if they were cast by magic.

"???" Cabelen and Kanisa stared blankly at what was happening before their eyes, and the broom in the girl's hand fell down.

"Haha, the house is decorated, let's eat!"

Fan Wei appeared from the kitchen door which had been expanded ten times, holding a pot. With the restaurant's functions, it only took him a dozen seconds to cook a meal!

"Oh my God." Arica Bellen's eyes sparkled, as if an innocent child saw the scene in the story he had been longing for!

"My friend, are you the wizard in the fairy tale?!"

Fan Wei smiled mysteriously, "Yes, I am the chef from the far south who possesses powerful magic! That's Misr Fan!"

"Come and taste the food I made with love and magic~"

Putting down the big pot, the dark iron pot was filled with light white soup, with green onions and vegetable leaves suspended in it, as well as plump and crowded dumplings.

Fan Wei estimated that the geographical environment of the Northern Empire was very similar to the Northeast where he lived, so he made a pot of dumplings and gave them to the first two diners to taste.

Pork and cabbage, mushroom and chicken, beef and celery, leek and egg, a classic and bright filling combination.

As the saying goes, eating dumplings with wine makes the more you eat, the more you will have. Put two plates of this simple, plain, yet most satisfying food in front of the two people.

The chef raised his eyebrows ostentatiously.

“Come and try the home-cooked food from my hometown!”
