Chapter 204: Loyal Customers of Wangsheng Hall
"Phew - I'm full, I'm full." Hutao said with a satisfied look.
Guo Ba: "Lu~!"
"Xiang Ling, I'm really lucky that you can come up with a new way to eat grilled fish with dipping water, especially that bowl of dipping water, it tastes so good."
After hearing Hutao's words, Xiangling smiled and replied: "Hey, that's my special dipping water. Of course it tastes good."
Zhong Li commented: "Grind dry-braided Juyun pepper into powder, add minced garlic and scallions, mix well, then add salt, vinegar, soy sauce, and finally boil oil to make it fragrant."
"Behind the seemingly rough technique is the chef's precise understanding of the proportions of flavors and seasonings. One point more means more, one point less means less."
"This is called [Jingdao]."
"You make sense." Liusu nodded.
Zhongli: "."
Hu Tao nodded in agreement: "Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right, how about Xiangling, did you praise me to your heart?"
Xiangling was a little embarrassed by Hutao's comment and replied: "Hehe. I'm so shy. Thank you Mr. Zhongli!"
"I think I'm already very eloquent, but I didn't expect that I'm still not good enough when compared with you." Hu Tao turned to Zhongli and said.
Zhong Li replied calmly: "Why should Hall Master be polite to me? Hall Master's eloquence is obvious to all in Liyue Port."
Guo Ba listened to Zhong Li's words and echoed: "Lu~"
Hearing Guo Ba's voice, Hutao lowered his head and said to Guo Ba at the table: "Would you like anything for Guo Ba? You're welcome, I'll treat you to this! Just leave the account to Xiang Ling's head."
Guo Ba: "?"
"What delicious food are you discussing again?"
Hearing the familiar voice, several people turned their heads and saw that it was Ying who was walking over with Paimon.
"Hey! It's Traveler and Paimon. What kind of wind brings you here?" Hutao greeted Ying and Paimon.
"Wait a minute! Don't talk about it for now, let me make the calculation carefully... Well, I'm here to celebrate the Lantern Festival!"
Paimon couldn't help complaining: "You can tell it at a glance, do you still need to guess?"
"Hall Master Hu, the traveler and Paimon have been in Liyue during this period. They are here to celebrate the Lantern Festival. It is a bit inappropriate." Zhongli took a sip of tea.
Hu Tao asked doubtfully: "Really? I thought they were traveling again. After all, I haven't seen them a few times in Liyue."
Xiang Ling said to Ying and Paimon: "You are here just in time, I am inviting everyone to try a new dish!"
"The boss of Three Bowls of Guangdong gave good reviews, and Liusu, Mr. Zhongli and Hutao were also satisfied, but I always feel that more people need to try it..."
"How about it, do you want to eat and see?"
After hearing Xiang Ling's words, Paimon replied with a look of surprise: "If you want to eat, you must eat!"
Ying said: "We are here to see Mr. Zhongli."
After hearing Ying's words, Paimon said a little disappointed: "Huh? No, don't you want to eat? Okay... let's do business first..."
"Long time no see. How is your recent trip going?"
Ying smiled and replied: "It's not bad. I made a lot of money. Liyue's commission is really great."
Zhongli nodded and said, "That's very good."
"So, so what? What do you do with our guest?" Hu Tao asked, "Let's talk about it first, we have some serious business to do when we go out today! Trying the dishes is just a way of doing it."
After hearing Hu Tao's words, Paimon was a little surprised and said: "Doing, doing something, it can't be about the Palace of the Past, right? It's obviously a festival."
Hu Tao said: "There is also birth, old age, sickness and death during the holidays, right? Don't make a fuss."
Seeing his words, Paimon showed a shocked expression and continued: "Okay, I'm scaring you. I thought the weather was nice today, so I came out to see the street view and promote my business..."
"You guys chat, Xiangling and I go to the boss's place to have some tea. Just remember to find me when Zhongli is done!" After saying that, Hutao greeted Xiangling and Guoba to leave together.
Zhongli nodded and said, "Okay, Hall Master, walk slowly."
"Traveler, what happened?" Zhong Li asked Ying when he saw the two people leaving.
"No, no, I just heard that your statue is now under construction, and I just wanted to ask if you could count me in." Ying said.
"If you want to go, just go to Ningguang and the others directly. So, you should have other things that need my help."
"This, this, Paimon, why don't you tell me?" Ying said to Paimon next to him.
"Huh? Why me again?" After listening to Ying's words, Paimon pointed at himself and wondered.
Paimeng turned his head and said to Zhongli with some embarrassment: "Okay, that's it. We actually came to find Liusu, but we couldn't find her whereabouts, so we came to ask you, but she is here now ,hey-hey."
Zhongli: "."
Sensing Zhongli's silence, Paimon continued: "Didn't Hutao finish what he said earlier? That's it before we had time to react."
"What do you want from me?" Liusu asked in confusion after hearing this.
"That's it." Paimon told Liusu about Keqing.
Liusu touched his chin and said, "Oh? Ke Qing secretly works overtime?"
"Yes, yes, I even took down the Skynet, and I'm running around Liyue about fireworks. Gan Yu is also there." Paimon nodded and said, "Although Ke Qing is very strong now, she can't sleep now." She will definitely be exhausted if she works non-stop. Liusu, please advise her."
After listening to Paimon's words, Liusu touched his chin and said, "Well, if that's the case, then the hundred set meals I ordered from Hutao will also be effective."
Zhongli: "."
Paimon: "???"
"Um, Liusu, why did you order a hundred set meals from Hutao? Are there so many people who need to be buried?" Ying asked doubtfully.
Liusu replied: "Prepare it for the future. If you want to die again one day, it might come in handy."
"Can the package from the Hall of Rebirth still be used like this?!" Paimon exclaimed.
Liusu glanced at Paimon and said, "Why not? Next time, just get up and lie back down."
"As expected of you." Zhong Li said silently.
"Both and each other, speaking of each other, I also ordered a hundred set meals for you."
Zhongli: "???"
Liusu continued: "We are old friends. I can still help with this small favor between old friends. I will not forget you when I order the package. By the way, I also ordered Wendy and Ying. "
"Then I really thank you." Zhongli was silent for a while and then said.
Liusu waved his hand and said, "You're welcome."
Zhong Li sighed and said, "I'm just telling you why the funds of the Rebirth Hall suddenly became abundant during that time. Hall Master Hu no longer went to the Wanmin Hall to help. It turned out that you ordered it."
"Take care of the business. After all, there are not so many places in Liyue that need the services of the Rebirth Hall. We cannot let Master Hu be reduced to doing odd jobs to pay your wages."
Zhongli: "."
From whom did you learn this behavior of criticizing others? Although you didn’t mention my name in this paragraph, I’m everywhere.
"So you are here."
Hearing the sound, Paimon was surprised and said: "Huh? Ke, Ke Qing!"
Just as Keqing was about to say something, she saw Liusu sitting there silently and said in surprise: "Master, Master?!"
Liusu greeted, "Well, happy Lantern Festival."
Keqing listened to Liusu's words and replied blankly: "Ah? Well, well, happy Hai Lantern Festival."
Seeing that Liusu didn't mention her overtime work, Keqing breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Mr. Zhongli, I didn't expect you to be here."
Zhongli replied: "I went out with Hall Master Hu to deal with some things, and happened to meet Liusu and the traveler."
Seeing Keqing's sudden appearance, Paimon and Ying's expressions were a little stiff, and they felt embarrassed as if they had been caught red-handed by someone.
Keqing looked at Ying and Paimon who were a little strange and asked, "What's wrong? Why are your watches so weird?"
"Could it be that I came too suddenly and disturbed your conversation?"
"No, no, I'm just curious why the busy Ke Qing appears here." Paimon said quickly.
Keqing: "!!!"
"I'm not. Don't talk nonsense. I'm not busy at all. I just worked a little overtime." Keqing explained quickly.
The master and the emperor are both here. If they know that they have been working overtime for several days, will they have to finish the game?
"Yu Hengxing needs to take good care of his body for Li Yue's sake and not to overwork himself." Zhong Li said calmly.
Keqing: "."
Okay, it's over. Zhongli knows it, so Master must also know it. It must be Paimeng who tipped off. Thinking of this, Keqing turned her eyes to Paimeng.
Feeling a little uncomfortable with Ke Qing's eyes, Paimeng changed the subject and said, "Ahem, Ke Qing, why do you suddenly want to find us?"
Keqing replied quietly: "I needed to find you earlier, but I don't need you now."
Paimon scratched his head in embarrassment and looked at the sky.
"Keqing, I heard that you are preparing fireworks?" Liusu suddenly said.
When Keqing heard Liusu's words, she stiffened her body and replied: "Yes, yes, Master, what's wrong?"
Liusu replied: "Xiao Keli and Nasida are back. You can take them with you when you prepare the fireworks. They are very interested in this."
"Yeah, I'll contact them right now." Keqing replied, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
"And one more thing."
"ah?"
"Although you have considerable strength, you still need to pay attention to your body as Zhongli said." Liusu continued.
"I understand. Thank you, Master." Keqing breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Liusu's words: "By the way, Traveler, Paimon, if you have settled the matter, come to Qunyu Pavilion to find me. I have something to do. I want to tell you."
"Yeah, we'll be right over," Paimon replied.
Seeing Keqing leave, Paimeng asked Liusu with some confusion: "Lisu, why did Keqing look so afraid of you just now?"
Liusu replied: "Isn't this very simple? Because now she has violated Skynet's contract."
"Then why didn't you say it just now? Ke Qing seems to have known that we were the informants." Paimon scratched his head and said.
"Since she wants to do this, just give her a long vacation then."
Paimon scratched his head and said, "Yes, is that so?"
"It's the Sea Lantern Festival again, and I have to prepare something. Now is the moment when people's wishes are strongest, so we can't miss it." Liusu said, touching his chin.
After hearing Liusu's words, Zhongli's eyes lit up and he asked in surprise, "Oh? Liusu, have you made any big moves again?"
"That's about it. You can watch Yidian Liuyun and Lotia while I'm away these days."
Zhongli asked in confusion: "What do you mean by this?"
"In short, the current Liuyun Galotea is equivalent to a group of Paimon."
Zhongli: "."
"I know, I will pay attention." Zhongli rubbed his eyebrows and said with a headache after hearing Liusu's words.
"Hey! What do you mean by adding up to a group of me? It's so rude!" Paimeng, who was standing next to him, said angrily.
"Hey!" Liusu replied with a smile: "Okay, goodbye!"
After that, Liusu left in a flash.
Paimeng: "."
"But doesn't the Lotia Liusu said look normal? Why did you say that the True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng plus Lotia is equal to a group of me? No, am I so headache? Ying, speak!" Paimeng said this, looking at Ying next to him angrily, hoping that she would give him an answer.
Ying: "."
Except for being able to speak a little, everything else is fine. Thinking of this, Ying was silent.
Seeing that Ying didn't answer him, Paimeng said angrily: "I'm so angry, I didn't expect you to think so too."
"Since Yuhengxing is still waiting for you, you should leave first." Zhongli said.
Paimon said to Zhongli, "Let's go then."
Zhongli nodded and said, "Yes."
At this time, Liusu was standing in the space of the golden tree. A green light screen appeared in front of her. She stretched out her hand and clicked on the light screen in front of her, as if she was compiling something on a computer.
While controlling the compilation station, Liusu couldn't help but complain, "Why is this tree so troublesome? Why did I design it like this in the first place? It's really troublesome."
The Great Compassion Tree King walked out of Liusu's body and said to her with a smile, "Because the golden tree itself is another world tree, you can only use a fixed and cumbersome method to tamper with the information, otherwise the world tree will change with your thoughts, which is not conducive to the perfection of the law."
"Alas, I'm still not strong enough. It would be great if I could really make flowers bloom and fall with a thought." Liusu sighed.
The Great Compassion Tree King approached Liusu and said with a smile: "Haha, you have done a good job. Isn't the process of you writing the golden tree the creation of another behavior?"
In response, Liusu did not appreciate it at all. She glanced at the Great Compassion Tree King next to her and said: "Stop talking nonsense. Come and help me."
"Alas, you really don't understand romance." After hearing Liusu's words, the smile on the face of the Great Compassion Tree King froze.
"You know me, come quickly!" Liusu continued.
The Great Compassion Tree King said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll help you."
"That's right." Liusu nodded with satisfaction.
"Liu Su, this tree seems to have evolved outside the world." The Great Ci Tree King said while operating: "If this continues, the main body will leave Teyvat."
"It was originally intended to leave the world. This is just right. You can grow better outside the starry sky and become real." Liu Su replied: "In this way, the world will no longer forget you."
After listening to Liu Su's words, the Great Ci Tree King sighed: "Alas, it suddenly became like this, it still feels a little unreal, just like a dream."
"As a tree king, what kind of dream would you have? All this must be real." Liu Su said.
"You are right. If all this is a dream, I hope I will never wake up in the dream again." The Great Ci Tree King replied with a smile.
Dong!
"Ouch! What are you doing!" The Great Ci Tree King covered his head with an incredible look.
Liu Su retracted his hand and said: "Let you distinguish between dreams and reality."
"Although, this is an act towards Nashida, don't use it on me, thank you." The Great Ci Tree King said to Liu Su with a polite smile.
"It's just a little bit before the data becomes real. These changes will definitely be noticed by the law of nature. It's really troublesome." Liusu frowned while compiling the golden tree.
"It's okay, just fight it. The two of us will definitely beat it." The Great Compassion Tree King replied indifferently.
Liusu frowned and said, "We can fight, but Teyvat can't bear it. Today's Teyvat is like a bubble in the smoke. If it's not maintained by the law of nature, this bubble will dissipate directly. This is not the result I want."
"Then what should we do? The process of realization is irreversible. How about taking them and running away? Anyway, the golden tree can be used as an ark now." The Great Compassion Tree King also frowned and said.
"How about this, I will go outside the starry sky, you wait for me here, I will go outside to open a hole in this world, and you take this tree out at this time." Liusu thought for a while and said.
"That's good, but you are directly exposed outside the starry sky, won't be noticed by people in other worlds?" The Great Compassion Tree King said with some concern.
"I don't know, but if we don't go out, this world will limit our development. After we go out, we can develop rapidly, and then we won't be afraid of external forces." Liusu said.
"Then you have to be careful." Daci Tree King replied.
Liusu listened to Daci Tree King's words and flew directly to the outside of the starry sky.
During the crossing, Liusu felt as if he had broken through an invisible barrier. When he came out again, he saw the vast stars and the world.
"Hiss, is this the imaginary tree? Although it is a conceptual body, it is too terrifying, isn't it?" Liusu looked at the imaginary tree in surprise. The leaves on it were not leaves, but a world that contained stars.
Under the Imaginary Tree, there is an endless sea of stars. Liusu observed that many points of light on the Imaginary Tree fell towards the sea of stars below.
"I know it's beautiful here, but don't sigh. Hurry up, if you don't take action, the world of Teyvat will be broken." The voice of the Great Compassion Tree King came from Liusu's mind.
Liusu: "."
