I Opened a Tavern in the Tang Dynasty

I am a businessman, a shopkeeper to be precise, and the owner of "a tavern" to be more precise. I am also a bartender, a well-known bartender in the city to be precise, and one of the best in the world to be more precise. My tavern is only open late at night, and only accepts one customer at a time. He/she has an hour to taste the wine I mixed, but needs to tell a story in exchange. A pot of sake, a night light, a shopkeeper, and people who open their hearts... This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
