Reading his own storybook had to be a very embarrassing experience.

That’s all?

Mag skimmed through that picture book about that dragon slayer battling the evil dragon, and immediately sent it to the corner of history’s rubbish.

Be it the story’s plot or the drawing style, it was difficult to imagine that storybooks of this standard were treated like a treasure by that boss.

Of course, this could be due to the scarcity of the topic.

They returned to the tavern after lunch. The two little ones were reading the new picture books happily, while Irina went out to run errands. Mag was left behind to read through the few ancient books that he had just bought to kill his boredom.

Although he was holding a book, Mag wasn’t reading it. Instead, he was thinking about Josh’s possible actions in the future.

The Roth Empire’s war with the orcs and the elves was already over for the past few days. The initially tense situation became mysterious due to Josh’s incident.

The orcs, who had lost dozens of tribes, wouldn’t let it go so easily just because they said Josh was being controlled by the devil; and the elves, who almost lost their City of Life, would demand an explanation as well.

Andre didn’t make any response, and he even dispatched more troops to the borders. The situation was still as tense as ever.

Now, Josh was being hunted on the whole continent. He could be deemed a public enemy, and was targeted by countless pairs of eyes. It became difficult for him to stir bigger trouble.

However, they still could not find his traces now. It was also a troublesome thing.

“Father, take a look at this. This is Big Sister Annie’s drawing.” Amy’s voice interrupted Mag’s deep thoughts. He looked down at the drawings that were passed to him, and his eyes lit up.

There was a little elf with silver hair on the drawing. It was drawn by watercolors, and Amy was the model.

The artistic style was juvenile, but it made it look cute and innocent. Moreover, every stroke was smooth, making the subject alert, cute, and realistic.

“Wow. It’s a great drawing.” Mag looked at Annie with shock. “Is this your first time drawing, Annie?”

Annie nodded with a smile.

“Yes, it is. I only know how to draw not very round circles, but Big Sister Annie already can draw me,” Amy said proudly, as if she had contributed a part in it.

She’s a superb natural at drawing. Mag caressed his chin as he looked at Annie with bright eyes, and said, “Annie, are you interested in becoming a comic artist?”

Annie tilted her head and looked at Mag, as though she didn’t understand what Mag was saying.

Mag explained, “Comic artists are professional picture books’ illustrators. These picture books are created by comic artists.”

Annie’s eyes lit up when she heard that. She nodded, and said in sign language, “I am.”

Mag smilingly said, “That’s great. You can continue to draw whatever you like first. If you are really interested, I will give you a script later, and you draw a story according to the script.”

Annie nodded obediently. She sat down and read through the picture books before picking the watercolor brush at the side to continue drawing.

“In this case, perhaps the project of ‘Cooking Master Boy1‘… can be launched soon?” Mag rubbed his china and thought deeply.

Amy saw that Mag was in a daze, so she softly reminded, “Father, remember to go get customers today.”

“I really would have forgotten about it if Amy hadn’t reminded me.” Mag patted the little one’s head, and then walked to the bar cabinet.

He took out the half bottle of Maotai that Irina had drunk two days ago under the bar cabinet. He opened the cap and put a small glass of Maotai into a small container that resembled a small aromatherapy diffuser.

The semi-sealed small container had a few tiny holes on top, which allowed the liquor’s fragrance to diffuse out slowly and not escape all at once.

Fishing for liquor lovers’ was similar to fishing. First, he had to make a bait. He would use the liquor’s aroma to congregate the liquors’ lovers, and he would have no shortage of customers then.

This method was a little different from operating restaurants.

After all, as long as a restaurant wasn’t a roadside stall, it couldn’t attract customers with its aroma easily.

Mag took the specially made liquor holder out with a small iron cage. He placed the little liquor holder into the cage, and put on a small lock before hanging it on the pillar in front of the door.

Maotai’s aroma whiffed out slowly. Although it was very slow and diluted, it still continued to spread its steady and unique fragrance.

The faint liquor’s aroma spread to the surroundings with Saipan Tavern as its center point.

“That smells so good! Is that a liquor’s aroma?!”

“Yes. It smells like liquor’s aroma, but where can we find liquor that smells so good?”

The customers couldn’t help looking around them when they passed by. They wondered where this enticing liquor’s aroma came from.

Meanwhile, some liquor’s lovers already found the little metal cage hanging in front of Saipan Tavern following the aroma.

“What is this? Why is the liquor locked up?”

“This is a new tavern, right? I have never heard of it before. Perhaps it’s trying to seduce its customers with the liquor’s aroma?”

“We are indeed seduced, but this tavern isn’t open yet. It’ll only open at 6 pm.”

Many passers-by congregated at the tavern’s entrance by tracing the liquor’s aroma. They stared at the little holder in the metal cage and salivated. At the same time, they felt helpless when they looked at the operating time on a wooden plaque hanging on the door.

In Titan Tavern, Eiffie just came downstairs after her nap, and a server told her, “Look, Lady Boss. That tavern opposite already has many customers congregating at this time.”

Eiffie stretched out, displaying her curves under her loose cotton clothes as she lazily said, “Did they finally decide to have an opening promotion?”

According to her observations in the past few days, Saipan Tavern operated just like a child’s play. Its opening time was extremely short, and there were only a few customers. It seemed more like a hobby.

“No. I think the boss placed a cup of liquor at the door, and the customers were all attracted by it.” The waiter shook his head.

“A cup of liquor?” Eiffie was slightly taken aback. She strode to the tavern’s door, and looked at the 10-odd people gathering in front of Saipan Tavern, which was diagonally across the street. They were indeed surrounding a small metal cage that was hanging on the pillar at the tavern’s door.

Her nostrils flared a little, and her brows furrowed slightly. Although it was far away, there was indeed a faint trace of liquor’s aroma in the air.

As a woman who inherited her family business and operated the Titan Tavern for 10 over years, although she couldn’t brew any excellent liquors herself, she had a great understanding of liquors. She had never seen liquor that could give out such an aroma at such a distance.

Eiffie murmured, “With such excellent liquor, not to mention Romo Street, Saipan Tavern would even have a place in the entire taverns’ world in Rodu.”

“What are you saying, Boss?” The waiter didn’t catch her words.

“Nothing. Be more respectful when you see the boss from that tavern across in the future.” Eiffie retracted her gaze and instructed the waiter before going back into her tavern.

Even if I cannot have him, I have to have his liquor…
