Chapter 740 Zhongli (13)
"Where are you going..."
Yun Ci slowly sat up.
"I haven't thought about it yet, so until I do, I plan to live in Liyue."
She looked at Zhongli and smiled, "Maybe I'll live in Liyue forever."
Zhongli smiled faintly: "Really? I hope you like Liyue."
Yun Ci raised her eyebrows and looked at him, then raised the drink cup towards him from a distance.
The two of them clinked their glasses in the air and took a sip at the same time.
*
From Sumeru to Natha, and from Natha to winter.
Finally, return to Liyue.
Xiao Ai still opened a hot pot restaurant in Liyue Harbor, and Yun Ci bought a piece of land next to a water source on the outskirts of Liyue.
With Tianheng Mountain behind it, a Liyue-style house was built and a small field was cleared in the yard.
Because it is very close to Liyue Harbor, Xiao Ai, who lives in the city, will come over to play from time to time.
Yun Ci planted an osmanthus tree in the yard and placed a rocking chair under the tree. Every day, apart from watering the vegetable fields and weeding, she would lie under the tree and rock in the rocking chair, feeling very happy.
Zhongli would come here to drink tea from time to time, and occasionally bring some antiques or jade he had newly found, and Yunci also got a lot of jade ornaments.
The comfortable morning sunlight was suddenly blocked by a shadow. Although it quickly moved away, Yun Ci still opened her eyes.
She looked at Xianyun, who circled in the air for a few circles and then landed, and stood up lazily from the rocking chair: "Long time no see, Xianyun, how come you have time to come here today?"
"I heard you made some new tea, I want to try it too."
Xianyun sat down at the stone table on the other side of the osmanthus tree in a familiar manner.
Yun Ci threw the bag of melon seeds in her arms back onto the stone table, and strolled to the warehouse next to her to get the tea can.
Xianyun had already lit the small stove on the table and started boiling water.
Yunci carried the tea set and teapot on a small tray and sat down on the other side of the stone table.
The ceramic jar was sealed tightly. Only when he opened the lid could Xianyun smell the refreshing tea fragrance.
"Is this... tea from the snowy mountains?"
"Yes, a tea made from a plant I found in Solstice."
The light blue tea leaves lie quietly in the teapot, very beautiful.
Yunci put the prepared white and blue tea set in place, and Xianyun started to brew tea.
The light blue tea leaves slowly expand under the influence of hot water, and the slender leaves swirl in the water, slowly dyeing the tea into an even lighter blue.
Lift the teacup from the idle clouds, bring it close to your nose and sniff it, then take a sip.
The tea was still a little hot, but it felt cold after entering the stomach.
“This is a perfect tea for a hot summer day.”
"I'm going to send it to the hot pot restaurant."
Xianyun had also been to the hot pot restaurant opened by Xiaoai. She nodded in understanding: "It is indeed a suitable combination."
Yunci and Xianyun met at a hot pot restaurant.
At that time, Xianyun and Yunci went to a hot pot restaurant to eat. There were no seats left in the restaurant. Yunci recognized Xianyun's identity and invited him to her lounge to eat.
Eating hotpot together and chatting while eating hotpot can easily bring people closer and establish a connection between them.
Xianyun grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the bag and asked, "Is this the taste of green tea?"
"How is it? Doesn't it taste good? I didn't waste Chen Yugu's good tea."
"good."
"I fried the melon seeds I harvested last time into this flavor. Take some with you when you leave."
"I won't be polite with you."
"Hmm? Isn't this Ms. Xianyun?"
Xianyun looked at the figure who walked in: "There's no need to address me like that here, Emperor."
Mingming brought Yunci to participate in the small gathering among these gods.
Yun Ci patted the stone bench next to her: "How come you have time to come here today?"
Zhongli put the snacks on the table, and Xianyun had already poured the tea and placed it next to Zhongli.
"I got some new snacks and brought them to you to try." Zhongli held the teacup, "They are newly made by Xiangling from Wanmin Hall."
Hearing this, Yun Ci paused in unpacking and said with some helplessness: "It seems that I have to prepare more food tonight."
Xianyun chuckled and said, "It must be the owner Xiaoai who is here."
"Every time she comes across new food, she will bring it to share with me." Yun Ci glanced at Zhong Li and lowered her voice to Xian Yun, "So every time I have to accept it twice, and pretend to eat it for the first time."
At this distance, there was no way Zhongli couldn't have heard it.
But he still cooperated and pretended not to hear, and when Xianyun looked over, he showed a puzzled expression.
"Ok?"
Xianyun snorted and chuckled, ignoring the "little romance" between the two of them, and slowly poured himself a cup of tea.
"This tea is a bit cold. It's not good to drink too much. Why don't we change to another one?" Yun Ci patted the snack box that Zhongli brought, "Let's change to a tea that is more suitable for snacks."
"That's fine too."
Yunci took out some new tea to brew, and this time there were three people drinking tea.
But Xianyun did not stay too long. After eating some snacks, he said goodbye and left, leaving the space to Yunci and Zhongli.
The sun rose higher and higher and the weather became hotter.
The shadow could no longer cover the location of the stone table, so Yun Ci and Zhong Li returned to the room.
There were several pots of blooming lampworts in the room, but during the day the sun shone through the windows and the light was almost invisible.
This is a new house that was built only a year ago. There is a room on each side of the living room. There are not many pieces of furniture in the room, but it is decorated very warmly.
Zhongli sat on a wooden chair and looked through the open door at a long wooden chair in the yard: "What are you going to do?"
"Make a set of comfortable sofas." Yunci's living room only had a set of tables and chairs, and the rest of the place was empty. "When the time comes, I will put three comfortable long sofas here."
Zhongli has gotten used to Yunci's hobby of doing things by herself: "If you're missing any materials, just let me know."
"Okay, I won't be polite with you."
It was soon noon. Yun Ci was too lazy to cook in the hot weather, so she held an umbrella and slowly walked towards Liyue Harbor with Zhongli.
"Where to eat?"
"It's a hot pot restaurant."
You may not really want to eat hotpot on a hot day, but you can ask Xiaoai to make Malatang or Mala Xiangguo, which are foods with similar origins.
"——These are the menus that are temporarily not for sale." Xiao Ai ran in with the menus and said helplessly to Yun Ci, "Sister, please don't spread it out, otherwise the store will be even busier!"
She originally opened the store because she didn't want to be too idle, but she ended up being so busy that she barely had time to go out and play.
"Now Ruo Tuo doesn't even come to play with me." Xiao Ai muttered, "I don't even have time when Xiangling asked me to go out and look for new ingredients and menus."
Yun Ci looked at her with a smile: "So, do you regret it?"
"That's not true."
For Xiao Ai, this is a rare experience in her life.
There may not be such opportunities in the future.
She wants to cherish.
Just a little bit boring.
"Next time you want to go out and play, just call me and I'll help you run the store for a few days."
Xiao Ai's eyes lit up and she rushed over happily:
"Thank you sister!"
