Chapter 997 Teyvat - Opening Soon
Aiko Gojo cooked a pot of mulled wine in the Dawn Winery. She put a lot of local spices into it and made a Teyvat version of mulled wine.
"Apples, raspberries, bubble oranges, lotus roots..." Diluke took a look at the ingredients in the pot. Except for the Fontaine bubble oranges, these ingredients were not difficult to obtain.
Strictly speaking, a lot of spices have to be added to mulled wine, but those spices may not be available in Tivatri. Even if they are available, the names and shapes may be different, so Aiko Gojo only added fruits.
But she also suggested that some fragrant spices could be added to it, but she didn't have any at the moment, so she only added fruit.
Aiko Gojo tried it herself and felt that the taste of the four ingredients was quite delicious. The lotus root is slightly bitter, which adds a different flavor to the purely sweet and sour mulled wine.
But the taste of the cooked wine was no longer the same as the mulled wine she remembered.
"Let's change the name to red wine soup, it's more vivid." Aiko Gojo tasted it first, then her face wrinkled because of the sour taste.
Because not enough sweet things were added and the sugar was not enough, the taste was sour.
"I'll do it, I'll do it!" Wendy thought that Aiko Gojo didn't like drinking, although the red wine had basically no smell of alcohol after being cooked.
Gojo Satoru sat silently at the dining table and ate the small cakes brought by the maids. After all, alcohol was his nemesis.
By the time Gojo Aiko finished discussing the business with Diluk, it was already evening. At Diluk's invitation, they stayed overnight at the Dawn Winery.
The next day, Gojo Aiko went with Diluk to sell red wine soup.
This hot wine is still a relatively novel thing for many people, and it tastes sour and sweet. Everyone likes to drink it. Even old drunkards who love strong liquor will have a bowl to whet their appetite.
Just like many people like to have a glass of apple wine to sober up after drinking in a tavern, red wine soup has also become a little popular in Mondstadt.
As usual, Gojo Aiko made some money and ran away. As for the method of making the red wine soup, it was not her idea in the first place, so she just let Diluk use it.
After making money, Aiko Gojo had several sets of Mondstadt-style clothes custom-made at the best tailor shop in Mondstadt.
"Why do I feel like Aiko likes buying clothes recently?" Xia Youjie remembered that Aiko Gojo had also ordered several sets of clothes in Liyue Port.
"Isn't it normal for girls to buy more clothes when they grow up?" Gojo Satoru disagreed.
Moreover, Aiko Gojo herself has a lot of clothes. After all, there are many elders in her family. During festivals and when the seasons change, each person buys her a set of clothes, and she would not have enough clothes to wear all year round.
"It shouldn't be for dolls to wear, right?" Xia Yujie felt helpless when he thought of "Oiran Jie".
"Puppet?" Gojo Satoru thought about it and felt that as a good friend of Geto Suguru, he had an obligation to buy a new set of clothes for the courtesan Miss Geto!
Xia Youjie suddenly sneezed violently. He looked around vigilantly, feeling that someone was plotting against him from behind.
After the tableware for the ice porridge was ready, they returned to Liyue Harbor from Mondstadt.
“I don’t think we need to sell too much on the first day. Let’s make some to test the waters first.” Aiko Gojo initially decided to only prepare half of the food on the first day.
Because Chongyun and Shenhe were both willing to come and help, even if there were many guests and the prepared meals were not enough, they could prepare more temporarily.
Just when Aiko Gojo and the others started preparing materials for the daily opening, Wendy, who had not returned with them, suddenly appeared again.
Not only that, he also brought two people with him...
"Hello, Miss Aiko, we meet again!" Kaia greeted Gojo Aiko with a smile.
"Sister Aiko! Keli is here to help!" Keli, carrying a small schoolbag, looked at the various fruits and vegetables in the living room with sparkling eyes.
Kaeya is the cavalry captain of the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt, and Klee is the daughter of the great adventurer Alice who was entrusted to the care of the Knights. They are both new friends that I met in Mondstadt this time.
But... generally speaking, they shouldn't be able to leave Mond at will, right?
After all, Kaeya is the captain of the cavalry and he has to work. As for little Klee, she is just a child and of course it is impossible for her to run around casually.
And how did they manage to get from Mondstadt to Liyue so quickly?
You know, they can't use teleportation anchors!
Could it be... Aiko Gojo looked at Wendy with a puzzled look.
It must be Wendy's doing!
Wendy bent down guiltily and picked up a basket of Qingxin flowers: "You want to pick the petals and wash them, right? I'll help too!"
Klee also hurried over. She heard from brother Wendy that sister Aiko couldn't find anyone to help, so she quickly brought brother Kaia along!
"Hey, Klee, can you help me taste this milk sauce and see how it turns out?" Aiko Gojo was sure that the reason the two of them came here was definitely because of Wendy.
It is true that Kaeya does have the Eye of the Ice Element, but if you want Kaeya to help, you have to find someone else to help take care of Klee.
So rather than saying they are here to help, it would be more accurate to say they are here to travel.
"Kelly will come to help right away!" Kelly happily went to be a food taster.
"Oh, I didn't expect Liyue Harbor to be like this. I kept smelling nice scents along the way." Kaeya was able to get here by chance this time. Normally, it would take at least several months to get from Mondstadt to Liyue Harbor.
But this time he arrived in one day, because Wendy asked the wind dragon Tevarin to fly them here.
He once planned to bring Klee to Liyue Harbor and even found a commission in Liyue Harbor, but unexpectedly something unexpected happened and the matter ended up in nothing.
"Mr. Kaeya, are you sure you didn't sneak out with little Klee?" Aiko Gojo was a little suspicious.
Although Klee is just a child, she has the Eye of the Fire Element and is a Spark Knight of the Knights Templar. Klee can make a bomb called Dodoko and loves to fry fish in the lake.
It is well known that frying fish is prone to accidents, especially if you encounter monsters on the road, then some fighting is inevitable.
The consequences of setting fire to a mountain in the wild are obvious, not to mention that Klee did not simply set fire, but used bombs.
It is said that she once got into a big trouble in the wild, and because of this, Klee was often put in solitary confinement.
Kaia is also a frivolous person, sometimes he would follow along...
"How could that be? We got the travel expenses and leave application from Captain Qin." Kaiya also took out their travel funds and showed them.
Considering that it was Venti's invitation and Klee had basically stayed in Mondstadt all the time, Captain Jean agreed to let Kaeya take Klee to Liyue Harbor to play with Gojo Aiko.
Wendy promised to bring them back in three days, which was an important reason why Captain Qin agreed. Otherwise, the two of them would be gone for several months, which was somewhat worrying.
