Welcome to the Commission Restaurant [Planes]

[I’ve come clean: I’m ascending the throne tomorrow is updating daily, please add it to your reading list!]

[This one below will update whenever inspiration strikes. The schedule is random, but it will be completed.]

When Meng Shang first took over the shop, she thought she’d be making a living through hard work from then on.

That was until her first customer walked in:

A middle-aged man in ancient clothing, exuding a scholarly air.

From then on, in addition to diners who arrived leaning against the wall and left the same way, all sorts of strange people began showing up at Meng Shang’s shop.

[Year Three of Yuanqi]

[Visitors from Fairy Tales]

[The Age of the Hunt]

[Mysterious Disease]

[There Are No Immortals in This World]

[The Native Inhabitants Cry for Help]

(The order of these stories is random.)

[Bonus Scene]

On the first day of business, the restaurant welcomed its first diner bright and early.

The man in ancient clothing picked an empty seat he liked, straightened his robe, sat down properly, then set his folding fan aside and waved quite naturally.

"Waiter! Bring me a pot of your finest tea!"

As Meng Shang silently grumbled about the way he’d addressed her, she walked over with a menu that was almost decent and a pot of complimentary red date tea.

"Hello, sir. This is our signature red date tea, and here’s the menu."

She set the two items on the table and put on her customer-service smile.

To her surprise, the middle-aged man’s eyes widened. "Does such a beautiful glass pot truly exist?! Where does this treasure come from?!"

Meng Shang glanced at the glass pots, which cost one hundred yuan for nine wholesale: ...

"And why do the dishes on this menu look so lifelike?!"

Meng Shang looked at the photos of the dishes, which were indeed quite realistic: ...

"Waiter! How much do your dishes cost?"

Meng Shang: ... The prices are printed in huge numbers. Did you not see them?

Something was wrong. Very wrong.

Meng Shang scrutinized the man before her.

His clothes looked to be good quality, made of an unfamiliar fabric.

His hair was perfectly neat and in place. It even seemed to be real hair, not a wig styled to look that way.

Even the closed fan had ribs that seemed to glow faintly purple. It looked extraordinary.

In any case, he didn’t look remotely like someone from a school hanfu club or a cosplay group.

A faint, uneasy premonition rose in her heart.

"Sir, forgive me for asking, but what year is it?"

"The third year of Yuanqi!"

Meng Shang and the middle-aged man stared at each other, sizing one another up. The same thought arose in both their minds:

In this situation, which of them was the one who was crazy?
