Chapter 983 Teyvat - Qingce Manor
"Ahem, before that, we want to go to Liyue Harbor to earn some money for the trip. What do you think we can sell for food?" Gojo Aiko thought it would be a good idea to take them to do some business so that they could experience all kinds of life.
"You're not selling ice cream anymore?" Chongyun looked at Gojo Aiko eagerly. "Aunt Shenhe also complained about your ice cream, but later... uh, someone made it for her, and she stopped complaining."
Actually, Shen He wanted to make Qingxin ice cream for her master, Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun, but she kept failing. Finally, Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun couldn't stand it anymore and made her a "fully automatic ice cream machine".
Well, that ice cream machine is great. You just put the ingredients in and it can make its own ice cream, but it’s a magical machine!
Ordinary people still have to rely on someone to open a shop and sell ice cream.
"Ice cream is too troublesome to make, how about selling shaved ice?" Gojo Aiko thought shaved ice was also good, she pointed at Naruto and the others, "Then you can shave the shaved ice for me!"
After all, there are no shaved ice machines in Teyvat, and having a few handsome guys manually shaving ice nearby should also have a certain marketing effect.
“Great!” Chongyun planned to return to Liyue Harbor if he had nothing else to do in the near future, and then continue traveling around after Gojo Aiko and the others set off for Inazuma.
Xingqiu looked at Gojo Aiko and the others thoughtfully. He had missed the opening of the beach hut because he was not in Liyue Harbor. He was not someone who cared much about food, so naturally he didn't pay much attention to it afterwards.
However, I have occasionally heard Chongyun talk about the wide variety and interesting ice cream in the seaside hut, so maybe I will have the chance to taste it this time.
Chongyun also enthusiastically invited Gojo Aiko and the others to go to Liyue Harbor together, but because they were afraid of being exposed on the way, Gojo Aiko had to refuse.
After Chongyun and Xingqiu left, Gojo Satoru leaped in front of Gojo Aiko and grabbed her cheeks and pulled them apart: "Good of you! You actually tricked me into drinking soup cooked by the Hillichul people!"
"What did the Hilichurls do to you? Can't people drink the soup they cook?!" Gojo Aiko pulled Gojo Satoru's hand away, "And didn't you look like you enjoyed the drink just now? Say thank you to the Hilichurls!"
Gojo Satoru was furious: "That soup has no taste at all! None of you are drinking it, and you still say you are not trying to trick me!"
"Oh~ So you like tasteless soup~" Gojo Aiko refused to admit that she was trying to trick Gojo Satoru.
"So, does this soup taste good or not?" Naruto was a little curious.
"You can try it." Sasuke also took out a can of salt, "It should taste good with salt."
Naruto first took a sip of the soup without salt, and it really had no taste.
After adding salt, it becomes just an ordinary bowl of soup.
I even felt that the taste was not very good. After all, the cooking skills of the Hillichels should not be as good as those of humans.
This soup probably wasn't cooked for a long time. It was probably eaten right after the ingredients in the pot were cooked, so it doesn't taste very delicious.
But it is indeed drinkable. If you can't cook but are strong in fighting, you might try to rob the hill people for food.
However, be careful that the Hillilks may add slime to the cooking process. Slime may be edible, but if you are not careful, it may explode!
Finally, Aiko Gojo tasted the soup of the Hilichurl out of curiosity and cooked a pot of the same soup for it again.
"Huh——" Gojo Satoru threw the hoe aside and sat on a rock to enjoy the scenery on the mountainside.
Because Gojo Aiko wanted to dig some bamboo shoots, they came to the foot of the mountain surrounding Qingce Village next to Wuwangpo, where there were many bamboo forests, with the bamboo forests backed by the mountain on one side and a large lake on the other.
However, by the time they had traveled through mountains and rivers, several hours had passed.
"I'm so tired. Is there really a village behind this mountain?" Naruto took the map and looked at their environment again.
Behind the circle of tall mountains behind them, there was actually a large village.
Because it was getting dark, Aiko Gojo decided to stay at Qingcezhuang for one night.
"The scenery of Qingce Manor is very nice, but it's a pity that there are only a few old people left there now, and most of the young people have left." Gojo Aiko quite likes the environment of Qingce Manor.
A village hidden behind the mountains, and the village itself is built on a mountain in the water. Beautiful terraces meander down and there are waterfalls. It can be said to be a paradise-like scenery.
Unfortunately, this also comes at a price. Qingce Manor itself is next to the stone gate and on the border line, which can be said to be very far away from Liyue Harbor.
Plus it is blocked by mountains, so transportation is not very convenient.
Fortunately, many terraced fields have been cultivated in the mountains. With mountains, water and fields, we can at least be self-sufficient.
But it is obviously difficult to make it more prosperous, and it does not have any unique characteristics that can be developed, so many young people go to big cities to make a living.
Due to the serious population loss, Qingce Village has become less and less suitable for living, because the various infrastructure there has gradually become abandoned, and it does not have the best doctors, the most delicious restaurants, and the most prosperous shopping malls like Liyue Port.
But if you don't mind these, and just want to find a place with beautiful scenery and simple interpersonal relationships to plant crops, raise chickens, fish, and then live a life of idleness and wait for death, Qingce Village is perfect for you.
After digging a basket of bamboo shoots, they arrived at Qingce Village before dark.
"Wow——" Naruto looked around excitedly. Although it was really troublesome to travel through mountains and rivers, this place was really beautiful!
"Layer upon layer of fields!" He felt that the fields were really beautiful, and the things planted in them were of different colors, all colorful, which made them look even more beautiful.
Since most of the people in the village are elderly, it is convenient for them to stay overnight, as every household has empty rooms and they don’t even need to go to an inn.
Because there were so many of them, they were arranged by Grandma Ruoxin, the manager of Qingce Manor, to live in a separate empty house with exactly three rooms: one for Gojo Aiko, one for Naruto and Sasuke, and one for Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru.
They also had dinner at Grandma Ruoxin's house in the evening, and Gojo Satoru finally tasted the Teyvat cuisine he had been longing for.
"This is a farm dish from our Qingce Manor. We added Jueyun peppers to it, so it's a bit spicy. I wonder if you can get used to it." Ruoxin was holding a plate of red and green stir-fried dishes that looked pretty.
"Hmm~ I'm used to it! I can already smell the spicy aroma!" Gojo Aiko quickly took the dish.
In addition to preparing this light farm dish, Ruoxin also prepared lotus seed poultry egg custard, dry pot bacon and a "contentment is happiness".
Although the name sounds intimidating, in fact, "contentment is the greatest happiness" is just a home-cooked fried tofu.
Because there were two children, Naruto and Sasuke, there was also a dish of honey-glazed barbecued pork.
