The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 196: Ginger is still spicier when old

"Mr. Zhongli, good news! I just discovered that there are Yebo Stones in the warehouse that are of better quality than the original three types! But there are not many, only one box, take a look..."

The boss was rubbing his hands, looking a little embarrassed, and next to him was a box of fine candle-grade night-lighting stones that he had carefully selected.

"The boss is interested."

Zhongli smiled softly, with a reassuring power in his golden eyes: "It just so happens that the number of Yebo stones needed for the Xiandian Ceremony is not much, one box is enough."

"That's fine, that's fine."

The boss felt inexplicably calmer after being glanced at by Zhongli, and his smile became more natural: "Although the variety has changed, the price remains the same. I will make the decision and give Mr. Zhongli a 50% discount. What do you think?"

"Mr. Zhongli is indeed popular among the people. I admire him very much."

Chen Tianfeng approached the box of Yebo Stones, looked left and right, and finally thought about it and reached out his hand.

However, he touched nothing, and his hand went straight through the box and the Night Stone and emerged from the back.

Zhongli noticed this scene and pursed his lips slightly. The ability of the memory to influence reality became weaker again... Are the two bodies of the god and the man about to begin to merge?
It seems we need to speed up the preparations.

"I'd also like to trouble you, boss, to deliver this Yebo Stone to the Yujing Terrace where the Immortal Ceremony was held. Yes, that is, the place where the Immortal Ceremony was originally held."

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhongli. Just leave it to me."

After making the relevant arrangements, Dadalia paid the bill and the group left Jie Cui Hang.

"What are you going to prepare for next?"

"Ointment."

"Ointment?"

"Well, the ointment used to worship the gods needs to be made from the best quality colorful flowers, which is very special."

Zhongli identified the direction and walked forward: "Come with me, there is a shop called Wanyou Shop in the port market, which should have the colorful flowers we need for sale."

The group followed Zhongli towards the port market.

Ying looked at Zhongli's back, feeling confused. It seemed that Mr. Zhongli had become a little anxious since a while ago.

Normally, when he talks about the neon flower, shouldn't he give a detailed introduction to the appearance, uses and characteristics of the neon flower?
Why just pass it over and omit it?
Ying thought about it but couldn't come up with an answer, so she had to suppress her doubts in her heart for the time being.

The Port Market was not far from Jie Cuihang, and the group quickly found the Wanyou shop.

"Mr. Zhongli? And Mr. [Gongzi]! Oh, it's been a long time!"

The owner of Wanyou Shop stood up to greet them warmly. His attitude was so good that the clerk next to him almost thought that the boss was possessed by an evil spirit. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the visitors were the generous Mr. Zhongli and the wealthy Mr. [Gongzi]. They looked at each other and nodded in understanding.

It’s Mr. Zhongli who’s here, and he’s bringing his wallet with him. No, he’s also bringing Mr. [Gongzi] with him. That’s not surprising.

"Mr. Zhongli, you came at the right time. Our store just received a batch of top-quality Ming grass from Inazuma through a special channel! Mr. Zhongli also knows that Inazuma is now in a state of isolation. These Ming grasses..."

"No hurry, I want to buy a few neon flowers from the boss this time."

Zhongli interrupted him, his tone still calm: "Golden House Hidden Beauty, Mountain Shade Splendor, Misty Fairy Fate, these three kinds of colorful flowers, please bring one each for me to see."

"Yes, Mr. Zhongli, please wait a moment."

The boss was stunned for a moment, but then he didn't care about being interrupted. With a wave of his hand, the shop assistant brought all the colorful flowers that Zhongli mentioned. "Mr. Zhongli, please take a look. There are absolutely no defective ones!"

"Yes, Not Bad."

Zhongli looked at them carefully and nodded, without any intention of introducing them in detail: "Boss, I want them all."

"Great! Mr. Zhongli is still so generous!" The boss praised and naturally quoted the price to Tartaglia on the side, and Tartaglia also naturally paid the bill.

Only Ying and Paimeng looked at each other in bewilderment, feeling as if their eyes had been opened.

One buys things without looking at the price and just says “I want them all”; the other pays without blinking and doesn’t feel the slightest bit of pain.

These two people are absolutely amazing!
"I've got the flowers, but how do I make the ointment?"

"It would be best to find someone who has experience in making perfume." Zhongli thought for a moment and said with some regret: "But among the people I know, almost no one can make perfume by themselves..."

"Sister Ying'er from Chunxiang Kiln is very good at it. When I went to Chunxiang Kiln some time ago, I happened to meet Miss Dajia and asked her to make perfume."

"Ying'er from Chunxiang Kiln? Well, it seems possible."

Zhongli nodded, and saw the three people beside him looking at him strangely, and a dead snake on the other side was smiling wantonly.

"Zhongli, who are you talking to?"

Paimeng grabbed the corner of Ying's clothes, looking a little nervous.

Could it be that the guest officials of the Wangsheng Hall could see some unclean things as the rumors said? !

Zhongli: "..."

Very good, you are worthy of being the close friend of the drunkard poet.

"It's just me talking to myself, don't worry about it."

Zhongli looked calm, and suddenly seemed to remember something. He turned to look at Ying and said, "Traveler, you are new to Liyue Harbor. Can you find a suitable place to live?"

"Not yet. Why did Mr. Zhongli suddenly bring this up?" Ying was a little confused.

"Oh, I just suddenly remembered that I have a small courtyard under my name. Although it can't be compared with those luxurious houses in Yujingtai, the scenery in the courtyard is also good, and the layout is reasonable, which is quite livable."

Zhongli smiled, glanced at Chen Tianfeng, whose smile was frozen on his face, and said gently: "If you don't mind, you can use it as a resting place in Liyue Harbor."

Well, if we ignore Ye Lan who will definitely move in to live with Tian Feng, and let Ying become the new neighbor, I think Tian Feng will be very happy, right?
Haha, no matter whether he is happy or not, the subsequent development will definitely be very interesting.

There was a smile in Zhongli's eyes.

"Mr. Zhongli! Why do you have to do this?"

Chen Tianfeng immediately bowed to Zhongli, bowing again and again, with an extremely sincere expression: "I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again! Really!"

Zhongli glanced at him calmly, then looked at Ying and Paimeng and added, "It's just that the location of this courtyard is a bit special. It depends on whether you two can accept it."

"What position?"

“Near the Hall of Rebirth.”

"!!!"

Paimeng's face turned pale, and he quickly raised his hands and waved them left and right, saying in a hurried tone: "No, no, no! We can find it ourselves! Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhongli! I appreciate it... hehe..."

Ying suppressed her smile and pretended to be regretful: "Paimeng, are you really not going to consider it again? The courtyard near the Hall of Rebirth must be very quiet."

"It's because it's too quiet, that's why it doesn't work!" Paimon shook his head vigorously.

"But, if the courtyard near the Wangsheng Hall is bustling, it would be strange, right?" Ying stroked his chin, and his tone suddenly changed, becoming gloomy: "How can Paimeng be sure that the bustle is really created by living people?"

"Alas--!!!"
