Chapter 46: The Second Day of Getting Serious in Liyue
Wanmintang is not like Xinyuexuan which only serves high-end banquet dishes. Most of its dishes are home-cooked dishes for the people, so its business is very prosperous.
Ever since Master Mao's daughter Xiangling started cooking, the restaurant has attracted wave after wave of customers. Fortunately, with the help of Guoba, she can handle the work.
"It's Mr. Zhongli, long time no see."
The kitchen of Wanmin Hall has always been open, so guests outside can also see the busy chefs and the tidy kitchen, which makes them feel more assured about the hygiene and safety of the food.
Xiangling had just put down a dish of Jueyun pepper chicken in her hand when she saw two young men walking in one after the other.
They have outstanding temperaments, and they do not feel out of place when they enter the Wanmin Hall with a strong atmosphere of fireworks. They are unlike some guys who claim to be noble and always look down on others with a condescending attitude.
"Long time no see, Xiangling."
Zhongli nodded in response and found an empty table to sit down.
It was just after dinner time, so there were not as many people as at noon. Only a few guests sat down to eat together, ordered a glass of wine, and chatted while eating.
Shui Qingli moved her ears and heard that the people next to her were discussing the incident of "Encountering the Dragon-riding Immortal in Dihuazhou" from Tian Tiezui's side.
I guess it won't take three days. Everyone in Liyue Harbor will know about it tomorrow.
They won’t give me a name like the Fairy Riding a Dragon and Controlling Water, Shui Qingli thought in despair.
It makes me want to die just by listening to it.
"Bring me some of your best dishes so that this guest who has just arrived in Liyue can taste the specialties of Liyue."
Although [Li] cuisine and [Yue] cuisine are known as the two major specialty cuisines of Liyue, in Zhongli's eyes, Xiangling's specialty dishes, which are full of her love for cooking, are the most in line with Liyue's traditional cuisine.
Just as his old friend also chose this child.
How could there be so many considerations during the Demon War? Even though Liyue was rich in resources, it was inevitable that some people in poor conditions would lack food and clothing after years of war. At that time, Marcosius was just like Xiangling now, considering everything to be put into the pot.
"Okay, then let me show you my skills!"
The girl waved her hand confidently and was about to go into the kitchen, but suddenly she seemed to remember something and turned back to ask.
"Then Mr. Zhongli, should this bill be recorded at the Northland Bank?"
The first few times Zhongli came to Wanmin Hall, the bills were not sent to Wangsheng Hall, but recorded in the account of Beiguo Bank. Xiangling was so surprised at the time that she almost dropped her jaw.
"This time, just put it on the account of the Wangsheng Hall."
Xiangling blinked and didn't ask Zhongli why he didn't continue to keep accounts at the Northland Bank. She agreed straightforwardly.
Although Master Hu Tao always sighed every time she settled the bills, she never refused to pay Mr. Zhongli's bills because she loved to promote the business of Wangsheng Hall to her.
Because she paid quickly, Xiangling always listened magnanimously to the girl's complaints about her guest being too spendthrift.
"Don't worry too much. People always like to pursue new stories, but after a while, they will fade away."
Seeing that Shui Qingli still looked a little worried, Zhongli spoke gently to comfort her.
He had anticipated this situation when he first invited Shui Qingli to help Xiao deal with monsters. In fact, he was exposed relatively late.
If there wasn't such an obvious smile in your eyes, I would believe what you said, Mr. Zhongli.
"Your water dragon is indeed useful, but as a controller of water elemental power, the flow of water is varied and you should make more use of it. This will also be beneficial to your practice."
Zhongli never said it out loud, but he had already discovered that Shui Qingli didn't have much motivation to practice, as if he was satisfied with the level he had mastered now.
But Xiao has never slacked off in his practice. Even when Ganyu, who is extremely busy in Liyue, would take time to practice archery. Being satisfied with the status quo just because it is enough is not the character of a natural demon god.
After all, the current continent of Teyvat is too peaceful. If he were to live in the era when demons were rampant, he would know how difficult it is to survive.
"Although that bard is also lazy, his control over the wind element is superb. Feng Shui has some similarities. You can ask him for advice, but don't imitate his personality."
After all, it was because it landed in Mondstadt first, and the open and lazy atmosphere in Mondstadt had a certain impact on it.
"Forehead……"
He never expected that even after traveling through time, he would still be forced to study.
And Wendy is not lazy, he is just slacking off. Uncle, you drink tea, watch plays and walk your birds every day, it seems that there is not much difference between you and him, right?
Perhaps noticing Shui Qingli's questioning look, Zhongli looked over with a half-smile.
"He and I have experienced countless battles more than three thousand years ago. Although you have a similar background, you are relatively new to martial arts. You can only use elemental power to hit people. This is not what a natural born demon god should have."
He just couldn't bear to see Shui Qingli wasting his talent.
He felt unfamiliar because he really had no foundation at all before, and the character of Prince Water itself is a magic character that looks very high-end. The setting of the anime "Yuru Camp" is that there are many magic characters.
Except for the one who was slashing around with a sword, most of the others just stood there and cast magic.
"Yes, I understand sir."
Zhongli said this to remind him to develop his abilities more, and Shui Qingli could not refute it.
He also reflected on himself and realized that he had indeed been lazy and had not continued to develop new ways to use the power of the water element based on his own mastery of it.
"The food is served. Please enjoy your meal."
Xiangling moved quickly, and soon a table full of delicious food was served.
I have always known that Xiangling is a good cook since I started playing the game, but now that I have actually eaten at Wanmin Hall, I can feel what the so-called "beep" feeling that Xiangling mentioned is like.
Yanxiao's cooking skills at Wangshu Inn are also good. As an inn chef, his skills are considered top-notch in Liyue, but Xiangling is better at innovating in some little surprises in the dishes.
Fortunately, she didn't really serve the slime mushroom. Just hearing the name makes it sound like an inedible dish.
"Is there... elemental power in this dish?"
He only discovered this after he put down his chopsticks. He knew that Xiangling was not particular about the ingredients when cooking, and she would put monsters into the pot without hesitation.
"Xiangling's method is bold and innovative, and she hunted these ingredients herself."
Among Aping's disciples, Xiangling is lively and bold, and has honed her basic skills in spearmanship and martial arts very well; Yaoyao is careful and considerate, and is good at medicine and taking care of others; Yanfei is well-versed in the law and is well-known in Liyue, and has solved many difficulties.
These three children have been brought up very well, and they are better at training apprentices than Liu Yun, who likes to be a teacher.

Does Zhongli need to bring Mora with him when he goes out? Boss, the bill will be put on the account of Wangshengtang.
