Genshin Impact: Being in Teyvat, a Merchant of All Worlds

"Hu Tao? And Mr. Zhongli?"

Xingqiu turned around and saw Hu Tao waving at him enthusiastically, with the knowledgeable Mr. Zhongli standing beside her.

"You guys are also coming to Xinyuexuan for dinner."

"Yeah, it's a pity that I came too late and didn't get to eat." Hu Tao shrugged helplessly, "I was thinking of using the half-price discount coupon I got from the last anniversary celebration to have a good meal."

"I didn't expect it to expire, and I wasted the seat I reserved three months in advance."

Hearing this, Xingqiu's mind turned, and he immediately said; "In this case, why don't you guys eat with us."

"Huh?" Hu Tao was slightly stunned, then scratched her head, "This... is not good... Will it disturb you?"

"It's okay." Xingqiu waved his hand nonchalantly, "If it weren't for Mr. Zhongli's presence, the incident that happened at Feiying Chamber of Commerce last month, I'm afraid I'll lose a lot of money."

"Just think of it as me thanking you two on behalf of the old man."

Hu Tao hurriedly shook her head, "No, no, the old man has already come to thank you for the last time. And the guest has made the greatest contribution in this matter. It has nothing to do with me."

Faced with Hu Tao's refusal, Xing Qiu thought about it and walked over, lowering his voice to explain: "Actually, I didn't book a seat, I secretly used the old man's private room."

"If he finds out, I might get scolded again."

"Just think of it as a favor, lend me the seat, and you can eat, isn't it the best of both worlds."

Xing Qiu pretended to be pitiful and made a begging gesture to Hu Tao.

Unexpectedly, Hu Tao waved her hand and said very straightforwardly: "It's okay, I can give you the seat. We are friends with some friendship, so there is no need to be so polite and spend money."

"That won't work. Everyone knows that you have to book a seat at Xinyuexuan three months in advance."

"How can I, a man, take advantage of a little girl like you for nothing."

"Just because we are friends, I can't do this."

Hu Tao saw Xingqiu's insistence and hesitated.

She looked up at Zhongli beside her, hoping that the guest official could help her talk.

"Friend Xingqiu sincerely invites you, so why not accept it?"

"It's a pleasure to drink with friends."

"If you really have concerns, you can split the bill in half when you pay."

Hearing Zhongli's words, Hu Tao's eyes lit up and she clapped her hands happily, "Keqing's idea is good, let's split it in half, that's just right."

"Mr. Zhongli has some truth in what he said, so let's do it."

"Okay, I'll go find the waiter at Xinyuexuan and tell him that I won't cancel it."

Hu Tao turned her head and looked at Zhongli, "I'll leave it to Keqing here."

"Don't worry, Master." Zhongli smiled slightly, watching Hu Tao hopping down the stairs, and then retracted his gaze.

......

After changing their seats, the group came to the window seat.

The door curtain fell gently, blocking the view from outside, creating a private and quiet space.

The surrounding area was full of potted green plants, exuding vitality.

Compared to the previous closed private room, this place is more lively and has a wider view.

Looking down, you can see the lively crowd on the street, and you can hear the enthusiastic shouts of the vendors and the laughter of children playing.

After taking their seats, Xingqiu sat in the middle, and from the left, it was Chongyun and Zhongli.

On the right were Yanfei, Fischl and Hutao.

"Do you want to eat anything?" Xingqiu spread out the menu in his hand and passed it from right to left.

Yanfei looked at the menu and whispered, "Crab roe tofu, I want this."

Then she handed the menu to Fischl.

Fischl looked at one of the dishes on the menu curiously and felt it was quite interesting.

"Then I'll choose this almond tofu."

The menu soon came to Hu Tao's hands, "I remember that the guest doesn't like seafood, so let's have a boiled black-backed sea bass, three-shredded pork and a plate of rice dumplings."

"I didn't expect that the hall master looks careless, but he is actually thoughtful. He even remembered the things I don't like. It's really touching."

Zhongli raised his head slightly and handed the menu handed over by Hu Tao to Chongyun.

"As for me, let's have a portion of almond tofu."

"Why can't you let go when ordering dishes one by one? You're not as good as Hu Tao." Xingqiu sighed helplessly, took the menu and named a few more names in succession: "Golden crab, dry fried fish river, four-sided peace. Hmm... Golden shrimp balls look good, one serving."

"Finally, let's have a lotus cake."

The waiter stood tall and filled the tea for everyone present, and left with the ordered list.

After another twenty minutes, the ordered dishes were brought up one after another.

"Wow, it's really worthy of being called Xinyuexuan. The shrimp balls are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They are so delicious."

Hutao happily took two bites in a row, and seemed very satisfied with the dish.

"Yes, yes. I didn't expect almonds and tofu to be so delicious together. Liyue's dishes are really magical."

Fischl finished the spoonful in her hand and showed a happy smile.

"There are more delicious dishes in Liyue. I remember one of them was called... pickled... something..." Yanfei couldn't remember what the dish that grandma mentioned before was called?

"Are you talking about pickled pork with preserved vegetables?"

As soon as Zhongli finished speaking, he immediately got a positive answer from Yanfei, "Yes, yes, it's pickled pork with preserved vegetables."

"Pickled pork with preserved vegetables tastes really good, but it's a pity that it's the best season for bamboo shoots now, so naturally it's impossible to make delicious pickled pork with preserved vegetables."

"Oh, what a pity. "

Yan Fei sighed somewhat disappointedly. She had planned to take Fischl to try it tomorrow, but she had to give up the idea after hearing what Zhongli said.

After eating and drinking, everyone showed a satisfied smile, and even the usually steady Zhongli had a nice arc on his lips.

Chongyun even touched his bulging belly and collapsed comfortably on the chair.

He didn't say much during the meal, and kept listening and eating.

After all, the path of cultivation for alchemists has always been difficult. It's rare to have such an opportunity to have a lively meal with friends.

It's so happy.

"Are you full?" Xingqiu looked up and looked around and asked.

The food on the table was swept away and eaten clean.

"I'm so full! I can't even drink a sip of water now." Hu Tao touched his belly and sighed.

Xingqiu immediately called the waiter, "Check out."

"The total is 73,200 Mora. "The waiter He Li said with the bill.

This number made Hu Tao, who was still touching her stomach, pause.

With just these dishes, is it worth the money?

"Master Xingqiu, how do you pay the bill?" The waiter Li He continued to ask.

Unexpectedly, Hu Tao snatched the bill and looked at it carefully, "This cup of tea costs five hundred Mora... What kind of water is this? Is this water blessed by the Rock King? Can it drive away evil spirits and cure all diseases?"

She looked down at the water with a few tea leaves floating in the cup and drank it all.

Xingqiu wondered: "Aren't you full?"

Hu Tao replied with a painful look on her face: "I am full, but this is not ordinary water, this is the source of life. Let's take a break before leaving, let me take a few more breaths of this expensive air, feel this beautiful environment, and experience this high-quality service. "
