ah!This is the taste!The hot baked buns with cumin and onion aroma made Xia Yu extremely satisfied. It was a pity that there was no tea in Mondstadt, so he could only... Before Xia Yu could think about it, Noelle, who had been waiting for a long time, bought the apple fruit. The brew was placed in front of Xia Yu.
"Thank you, Noelle." Xia Yu, who was satisfied with the little maid who did a good job, handed two baked buns to her hand again. Looking at Noelle's slightly reserved look, Xia Yu said with a smile. To: "Eat it. If you feel you can't let it go, just treat it as the evaluation fee I just asked you for the evaluation. How about it?"
"Well..." Noel responded to Xia Yu softly and took the food that was handed to him. Noel, who was tasting it in small bites, seemed to remember something. "Mr. Xia Yu...how much do you plan to set the price of this food?" Noelle, who seemed a little uncomfortable with talking about friends, forcibly withdrew his etiquette words, turned slightly red.
"Don't worry, I have carefully considered the price issue and also referred to the pricing of Deer Hunter's dishes." Xia Yu seemed extremely confident when he mentioned this issue. "The raw material cost of a baked bun is about [-] molas. Including the cost paid to the city cleaning staff, I think the price of [-] molas is within a reasonable range."
Six hundred molaras...it's really not expensive, even a little cheap.After listening to Xia Yu's words, Noelle nodded in agreement.
The ten centimeter square thin crispy dough is filled with fillings, and the fillings account for more than three-quarters of the fillings because the onions shrink after being preheated.Based on my appetite, three baked buns can fill me up.If paired with a fruit drink, the two should be just about [-] to [-]% full.
You know, Deer Hunter sells a sunny-side-up egg for more than 200 moles, and tomato sauce and onion toast costs nearly a thousand molas. In comparison, such a grilled bun filled with meat costs [-] moles. It's really cheap.
"Hmm...it smells so good~ Boss, how do you sell this bread?" The milky little girl's voice brought Noel back from his thoughts. He looked towards the source of the voice and saw a leader. The blond girl who looked like a doll and wore a cape like a starry sky was looking at the food on Xia Yu's stall with bright eyes. The voice came from the little guy next to the blond girl.
Although he was curious about why there was such a humanoid creature with the height of his forearm, considering that this was a different world, Xia Yu readily accepted the existence of this little humanoid guy. He looked at the two people who were looking at him with bright eyes. Xia Yu said: : "Six hundred molasses each. Also, this is not bread. You will understand when you look at what the maid next to you is eating in her hand."
This was the first business of the day. Xia Yu, who started to introduce them to the two, always felt that they looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them.different from
Wait... isn't this the traveler that Captain Kaia praised so much yesterday?
"Huh? Isn't this shop owner the one who was swallowed up by the black flames and turned the red gem into blue? Boss, is your body okay?" Noel recognized Ying and Paimon at the same time. , the sharp-eyed Paimon also recognized Xia Yu who was swallowed up by the black fire that day.Paimon's little eyes rolled with a sly smile.
"Boss, you see, Ying helped Amber carry you to the church for treatment yesterday, so...can it be cheaper?" The little guy's mean expression made the blond girl who was walking with her look away. After rummaging around in her pocket for a while, the girl put the twelve hundred mola into a small basket aside.
"Give me two to try first."
"Okay~ Be careful as the juice in the freshly baked buns may burn your mouth." After handing the two baked buns to the girl's hands with a smile, Xia Yu raised his head at the shadow that enveloped him.
This was a burly man over two meters tall who had put on black casual clothes. The iconic black mask made Xia Yu immediately recognize the identity of the person. He was a member of the Fools that he had met in the adventurer camp that day.
"Hey~ Brother Xia Yu, congratulations on the smooth opening of your store." The giant man with a honest smile on his face first looked at the baked buns in Noelle's hand, and then decisively handed the six hundred mola to it Xia Yu. "Give me a taste first." The familiar attitude between the strong man who picked up a baked bun from the wooden fence and Xia Yu stunned Ying, who had found a seat to sit aside.
This... I just saw the arrogant attitude of the special envoy of the Fools of the Winter Kingdom from Captain Qin, and learned that the reputation of the Fools in Mondstadt was quite bad, but why did this member of the Fools Talking to the store owner is actually more refreshing than a regular member of the Knights of the West Wind?
Is this shop owner an undercover agent of the Solstice Kingdom, or is he a fake member of the Fools?Ying looked puzzled by the burly man who finished the toasted buns in two or three bites and shouted loudly that they were hot and delicious at the same time.A large bag of mora was put aside, and the fools and strong men laughed as they picked up about thirty baked buns from the bamboo basket and put them into the bag.
Ying, who imitated Noel's small bites, watched the unimaginable scene quietly. Well, when she reports to the knights later, she must tell Captain Qin about this situation and ask her to pay attention to this little restaurant at the side door. ..etc!
The salty aroma and rich gravy spreading in your mouth...the taste is so delicious!Overwhelmed by the smell of baked buns, Ying stared at the food in her hands in surprise, and her eyes began to hesitate.
What if after telling Captain Qin about the situation, the store owner is kidnapped by members of the Knights?In that case, wouldn’t I be able to eat such delicious food?
kindness!It must be that the food cooked by the owner of this shop is so delicious. Even the members of the Fools who live in the Goethe Hotel also like the food cooked by the owner. The most intuitive evidence is that Zhuang just packed up more than 30 baked buns and left. Chinese.
Obviously, this is a kind of food that is eaten while it's hot. Even with that strong man's burly figure, killing four or five buns would be enough.The Goethe Hotel is located just above the side entrance. In other words, the strong man just packed food for his colleagues staying in the hotel to take back to try.
This way everything makes sense, so the store owner is absolutely fine!Ying, who felt that he had thoroughly analyzed the entire situation, showed a proud smile.Hey!I'm so smart!
"Boss, here are two more baked buns!"
————————————————————————
Maybe it was because the burly men who returned to the Goethe Hotel had a large bag of baked buns in their pockets, which aroused the curiosity of the residents of Mondstadt. Or maybe it was because of the blond girl who was sitting at the booth and eating very happily. Played a role in publicity.Even though Xia Yu baked another furnace to use up all the raw materials, more than 200 baked buns were sold out in less than an hour and a half.
Taking into account the net profit of more than 6 yuan for his own manual work, Xia Yu smiled at the pretty good profit.
This business at noon today can be regarded as an initial publicity for his craftsmanship in Mondstadt. Because there is only one person in his small shop, including Noel who helps, there are only two people, so he can run it very freely.As long as you determine the business hours and write a notice, and then write the food sold every day on the bulletin board, this method of regular business is what Xia Yu is looking forward to most.
If not for anything else, just for this sudden increase in physical fitness.
If it were in the past, Xia Yu was sure that he would not have the extra physical energy to run around after half a day of high-intensity physical labor like this. Lying on the bed and sleeping like a dead pig would be the best option.But now, things are different.
After being baptized by the dragon's blood, not only did I resist, but my physical fitness also improved significantly. Making more than 200 baked buns was like jogging without consuming any physical strength or energy.The unique conditions made Xia Yu, who was deep in a different world, couldn't help but want to explore the scenery, humanities and food of this world.
The monster issues that adventurers generally need to pay special attention to are not difficult problems for me, because the monsters I have encountered so far are quite close to me.Even if he really encounters a vicious monster, Xia Yu is sure that with his current incredible physical fitness, even if he can't defeat the monster because he doesn't know any martial arts, he will always be able to escape.
I really have to thank this magic dragon named Du Lin... Just as Xia Yu, who was packing the stall, thought about it more and more, he felt like he was floating, Noelle came to Xia Yu's side. "Xia Yu, don't forget to go to the cathedral in the afternoon and let Miss Barbara check your physical condition." Noelle reminded Xia Yu, which made Xia Yu regain his consciousness.
What a shame, I almost forgot about it.
If you want to ask Xia Yu who has been the most helpful to him since he came to Teyvat Continent, apart from Noel who is always on call and responsible, it should be the pastor Barbara who has only met once.
After all, according to Noelle, whether he was carried into the city by Kaia because he was out of breath or comatose, or he was corroded by the dragon's blood and took over his physical and mental treatment, the person in charge of the main treatment was the priest named Barbara. Miss.
"Well, let's go now."
Compared with the complicated route to reach the apartments of the Knights members, it is much easier to find the cathedral on the top floor of Mondstadt. In his free time over the past week, Xia Yu finally became familiar with all the routes in Mondstadt.
Just follow the stone steps all the way up to the cathedral!While passing by the Aeolus Statue in the Cathedral Square, the elegant sound of the organ and the melodious lyrics of the troubadour attracted Xia Yu's attention.
The great tone and the vocal music that seemed to hit the soul made Xia Yu couldn't help but admire the troubadour dressed in green during the performance.If you look carefully, you will see that the blond girl who was dining at her stall just now and the little guy named Paimon are also among the people listening to the bard's story.But he didn't have so much free time... Xia Yu, who felt a little regretful, sighed softly.
After all, Miss Barbara, the pastor, is still waiting for him, so keeping the appointment as scheduled is the most important thing for him to do now.
As for listening to the troubadour's singing, let's wait until next time.
Chapter 31 Barbara, come on!
Although he has been in Mondstadt for more than a week, this is the first time that Xia Yu has soberly entered this cathedral, which is like a landmark building in Mondstadt.If the 20-meter-high Aeolus statue and the round-arched cloisters on both sides are also included as part of the church, then this magnificent European-style spire cathedral directly occupies the entire uppermost platform of Mondstadt.
Climbing the stone steps and pushing open the heavy solid wood door to enter the interior of the church, Xia Yu couldn't help but be stunned by the spacious and majestic interior of the church. The smooth black and white marble floor and the colorful window glass that reflected beautiful textures under the sunlight made the whole church look stunning. It is full of sacredness and also extremely bright.
The most amazing thing is the rows of well-maintained orchestral strings on the high platform in front. How could Xia Yu, who saw this decoration, not know about this extremely famous musical instrument?
It turned out to be a church organ!It is also a very large musical instrument that is widely ridiculed as 'buy an organ and give it to a church'.You must know that whether it is a pipe organ or a church organ, their construction requires architects with considerable musical attainments to build such extremely magnificent architectural instruments.
The reason is also very simple, just like the guitar needs a high-quality speaker, so that the sound of the strings can be more beautiful when played.For a church organ, the entire church is a speaker for the organ pipes.
Therefore, if you want the church organ to produce the best effect, the size of the church, the overall shape of the interior and exterior, and the position of each support have extremely strict requirements.
It seemed that the nuns were deeply impressed by Xia Yu's appearance shrouded in black mist when he came to the church yesterday. A brown-haired woman wearing a white nun's uniform standing in the middle of the church came to Xia Yu and Noelle.
The first impression given by the middle-aged nun with a kind look on her face and slightly chubby face was that of gentleness and tranquility. The nun who smiled at Xia Yu and Noelle said: "Hello, I hope Barbatos and the wind will be with you." You are with us. If you are here to see Prayer Pastor Barbara, she is in the healing room directly below the church."
A treatment room underground?After listening to the nun's instructions on the route, Xia Yu nodded and expressed his gratitude.But...how to get to this basement?Xia Yu, who looked confused, made the nun in white smile again, and then pointed to the wall under the high platform in front of the church.
"The steps are right there. Miss Noelle knows the road below. Just ask her to guide you after you go down. But remember, since the storage room of Mondstadt's valuables is also under the church, after entering Please don’t do anything that arouses the suspicion of the members of the patrolling Zephyr Knights~”
————————————————————————
Barbara Page, one of the prayer pastors of the Mondzewong Church, whose main responsibility is to help heal the injured.
If you want to ask whether Barbara is the most outstanding prayer priest in Mondstadt, this is not yet known, but if you ask about the most famous prayer priest in Mondstadt City or even choose among all priests, then this quota It has to be Barbara.
As for the specific reason for this situation, it must be mentioned that it is Barbara's other identity: Mondstadt's most shining idol.And if you want to ask why Barbara became an idol, you have to mention a very long history of adversity.
As the biological sister of Jean Gunnhild of the Knights of the West Wind, Barbara's original surname should have been Gunnhild. Due to the divorce caused by her parents' differences in ideas, Barbara stayed with her father, who was the bishop of the West Wind Church. Therefore, Barbara's surname was Page after her father's.
Simon Page, who was once a great adventurer, did not live in confusion because of the divorce. Instead, he wanted to prove that he had reached the position of archbishop in the West Wind Church.
Barbara, who has admired her father since she was a child, also hopes that one day she can defeat her older sister Qin. However, the talent gap makes Barbara unable to defeat her gifted sister in both swordsmanship and study.
Since you are not good at fighting, then become an excellent logistician!Under the careful guidance of her father Simon, Barbara joined the West Wind Church and became a healer. Through treatment, she made patients smile again. This was the happiest thing for Barbara.
It was during this period that Barbara, who was crippled, was deceived by Kelly's mother, Alice, one of the veteran members of the Witch Church, and embarked on the road to becoming an idol.
Alice, who had dropped the idol magazine from somewhere in the world to Teyvat, cleverly changed the concept and put Barbara on the road to becoming an idol on the grounds that both idols and priests can heal the body and soul of injured people. .Barbara, who practiced singing and dancing, gradually fell in love with the idol profession after receiving people's appreciation.
Even though Alice later told Barbara with a sad face that her original plan for the Teyvat idol group had been aborted, Barbara, who was already well-known in Mondé, had already fallen in love with this special profession.And Barbara's gradually maturing thoughts have made her more sensible.
If I can become better, I might be able to help my sister share some responsibilities...
Hmm...Anyway, come on, Barbara!
————————————————————————
"Ta~ta da da da~ta da da~ta~ da, da!"
After walking down the spiral staircase to the basement, Xia Yu's attention was attracted by the humming sound coming from the hut not far away. The brisk singing voice was quite different from the melodious singing tone of the bard downstream of the Fengshen Statue, but this did not hinder Xia Yu thought the minor tunes played by the girl when practicing singing were pleasant.
"That's the room that Barbara uses to treat serious patients." The prompt from Noelle also let Xia Yu know the room he was going to next. Xia Yu came to the door of the room along the road and was preparing When he knocked on the door, the scene he saw through the small ventilation window made Xia Yu laugh.
The girl with beige twin-tail curly hair was constantly trying to raise her heels to make herself look taller. After trying several times, the girl who raised her palms looked at her height, and then gently The ground sighed.
"Hey, when will I be as tall as my sister..." After finishing talking to herself, the girl who returned to normal sat on a small chair nearby and started drinking a drink.
Fortunately, he didn't knock on the door right away. Otherwise, he didn't know how embarrassed the girl named Barbara would be when she entered. After knocking gently on the door, Xia Yu waited quietly.
"Is this Mr. Xia Yu? Please come in." The extremely polite response from the girl inside the door made Xia Yu open the door.The hospital bed, small table, and Barbara in a white nun's uniform made Xia Yu think of the outpatient room of a hospital for no reason.
Of course, Barbara's appearance is much cuter.
Is this the idol priest girl who saved me twice, once because the other party was in an emergency and left in a hurry after confirming that I was recovered, and the other time because I was completely unconscious and didn't see him?Barbara's exquisite appearance made Xia Yu take a few more glances.
Compared with her sister Qin, Barbara, who is slightly younger, is about half a head shorter than Qin. The two of them do have some similarities in appearance, but they are different from Qin who is already the acting leader and revealed in a serious voice. Compared with the somewhat majestic aura, the lively and lovely Barbara seems more approachable.
"Mr. Xia Yu, please don't resist the next feeling. I will check it for you right now." Barbara took off the manual hanging on the side of her slender waist and opened the pages, filled with blue light spots. The ground surrounded Xia Yu and then turned into thin lines.
"Singing, let's start~"
Seeing the water magic that revolved around him like a staff after Barbara activated the Eye of God, Xia Yu closed his eyes comfortably with the feeling of pure and gentle energy flowing in his body.After about 5 minutes, the gradually dimming blue light surrounding him made Xia Yu confirm the end of Barbara's diagnosis.
"It's strange, he really disappeared without a trace..." After repeatedly checking Xia Yu with her eyes several times, Barbara, who had no idea why this happened, asked Xia Yu: " Mr. Xia Yu, do you feel uncomfortable now?"
"No...rather than saying that I feel any discomfort, I feel that I have become healthier and stronger..." In order to display it more conveniently, Xia Yu took out a Mora coin from his pocket and used two fingers to With a casual grinding, a large groove appeared on the extremely high-quality Mora coin, and the extruded metal began to scatter around.
"Originally, I was a chef with an extremely ordinary physique. I would never dare to think about something like this... Now, after being tested by the Knights of the West Wind, I can even use the two-handed sword that Noelle used. Lift it up with great ease, and then swing it with one hand as easily as a piece of paper."
"Miss Barbara, is there any specific phenomenon caused by the erosion of the dragon's blood?"
In order to further confirm that there was really no problem with his body, Xia Yu, after explaining that he felt the changes in his physical fitness, looked at the surprised girl with extremely serious eyes.The sincere attitude made Barbara even more embarrassed.
"Actually, infections from dragon blood and unknown black mist rarely occur in humans. Even if there are a few cases occasionally, they are very rare exceptions."
"For example, there is a kind of magic stone that emits dark red light, which will affect the consciousness of monsters, Qiuqiu people and humans around it. When they are close to a little crazy state, they will attack those who are not affected. The black magic energy will Let them temporarily forget the pain and devote themselves to the battle."
"If they leave the control range of the magic stone, they will become extremely weak in a short period of time. This part is not consistent with your situation, Mr. Xia Yu..." After explaining this, Barbara showed a very happy smile.
"In short, it's best if nothing happens, but you must not let down your guard." Barbara looked extremely serious when she gave suggestions to Xia Yu. "If you feel any discomfort, please come to me. I will help Mr. Xia Yu who helped Tevarin at any time."
————————————————————————
What a responsible girl. Xia Yu and Noelle walked out of the girl's room, feeling impressed by Barbara's dedicated and optimistic spirit.
The next thing to consider is what to sell from afternoon to evening. Since the menu has not been finalized, the reason why I temporarily decided to sell baked buns today is just to make my own coffers richer to facilitate subsequent development.
The good sales at noon really helped me solve my urgent need. It was time to finalize the official menu.According to Xiang Ling's explanation of her experience in using various ingredients, Xia Yu felt that there were many new ingredients that she had not seen yet, so it was better to forget about setting the menu at once.
In this case, the best way is to identify one or two small dishes that can be used as signatures and whose raw materials can be found in all seasons, and then pair them with some seasonal creative dishes from other world ingredients that conform to the cooking logic. This is the best solution at present. .
Returning to the church on the ground from the basement, three familiar figures appeared in Xia Yu's sight again. The three of them were friends who had met several times before. They were placed in front of the statue of the God of Winds and sang the chants of the past The poet, and Paimon suspended in mid-air.A nun in a white nun's uniform was talking to the three of them.But the atmosphere didn't seem so good.
"So I said, please come back. Although that dragon is very ferocious, as long as the acting captain is determined, there is no reason why the Wind Demon Dragon cannot be defeated." It was obvious that he was still worried about what the Wind Demon Dragon had done to Mondstadt yesterday. The nun felt disgusted by the destruction. After explaining to the bard in green clothing, the nun showed an unhappy look. It was obvious that the nun had developed a hatred for the wind demon dragon that came to Mondstadt from time to time to destroy it and then slipped away. .
It's just that the extremely young troubadour didn't think so.
"This is not possible... If this happens, won't the wind dragon die?"
"Hmph! The foolish beast that betrayed the east wind will never forgive it even if the God of Wind comes in person!"
The argument between the young troubadour and the nun in white finally started. After a while, the nun whose patience was exhausted showed a calm expression, and then said: "In short, it can't be done, please." Come back, little poet."
What on earth are they arguing about?Since he didn't see the beginning, Xia Yu had no choice but to walk next to the blond girl Ying, who was sitting on a bench, eating an apple and watching the play.After noticing that the girl's eyes were turning towards him, Xia Yu waved and said, "We meet again. You and this troubadour came together, right? What is he doing now?"
"Well... he wants to borrow the Sky Piano from the West Wind Church. He said that if he gets the Sky Piano, he will be able to save the wind demon dragon Tevarin." After answering Xia Yu's question, Ying looked at the nun who was preaching to the nun. He himself is the bard of Barbatos, the god of wind.
"To be honest, I think he is quite unreliable."
Chapter 32 What do you, a naughty kid, know about Barbatos?
This bard really said that he was Barbatos... Xia Yu couldn't help but agree with Ying's point of view.
There is no one to pretend to be, but to pretend to be Barbatos, the wind god who once broke through the ice and snow of Mondstadt and helped the Mondstadt regain their freedom from the brutal rule of the decadent noble Laurence family.And it was said in front of the followers of the Wind God, the nuns of the West Wind Cathedral. Apart from making the other party feel disgusted, could this have any other consequences?
Although it has only been about a week since I arrived in Mondstadt, Mondstadt's historical record is not as boring as a chronology and corresponding events.The chronicle recorded in poetry suitable for bards is the best Western fantasy historical novel in this world without computers and animation. With Noelle's help and supplements, Xia Yu can also be considered to have some knowledge of Mond's past. Got a general understanding.
Who is Barbatos?That was the wind elf who was willing to carve out a place of refuge for humans who could not survive in the snowfields in the days when Mondstadt was still covered by snow. Different from the lonely tower king Diekalapian who did not understand people's hearts and the people who only took in the human beings. The North Wind Wolf King Andrius, who thought he was a pure and innocent baby, was just a wisp of wind spirit at that time and was willing to use his not too strong power to help the ancestors of the Mondlanders who were willing to find freedom.
After that, together with Andrius and the people who were protected by him, he overthrew the rule of the lonely king of the high tower. After accepting the position of Wind God, he blew away the cold wind and snow that covered Mondstadt all day long. When he woke up a thousand years later, he and his Together with Vanessa, who was still a gladiator, her family member Tvarin defeated the raging dragon, and then assisted the resistance army to overthrow Mondstadt's decadent aristocratic Lawrence family, allowing Mondstadt to return to freedom and the embrace of the people.
It is precisely because of this series of praiseworthy actions of the wind god Barbatos that the concept of 'freedom' is imprinted in the hearts of everyone in Mondstadt.Hundreds of years have passed, and now the people of Mondstadt can not believe in Barbatos, but they can also boldly pursue what they want.But what they can't deny is that this is the meaning of freedom that Barbatos taught them.
Although it is also mentioned in the poem that Barbatos was indeed a boy when he became the God of Wind and shaped his appearance, but as far as Xia Yu is concerned, there is no way that the troubadour boy in front of him who talks about trains is a fool. Barbatos, the god of wind.
First of all, how can any god come to the church where he believes and still be silenced by the nuns?Besides, in both Eastern and Western mythology, the sense of majesty of a god makes it extremely easy for people to recognize him even if he changes into human form.
Look at the big green Eye of God hanging on his waist. This naughty kid is at most an enthusiastic fan of the God of Wind who has been recognized by Barbatos. As a bard, he consulted various records. After that, he imitated the clothes in the record and made Xia Yu feel like his inferior trick of deceiving people, just like some kind of scam text message he once received on his mobile phone:
'Hello, I am the First Emperor of Qin. In fact, I have been sleeping until I died. Now that I have woken up, I can unify the world again by resurrecting all my terracotta warriors and horses.Therefore, I need a sum of money. As long as you transfer 648 yuan to the xxxxx account, you will help me successfully restore the country. After unifying the world, I will grant you a province and become the prince! '
At least it makes the words of fraud sound more believable!
Sure enough, just as Xia Yu guessed, the face of the nun who was originally just dealing with the troubadour in green clothes suddenly became much colder. "If you have nothing else to do, please come back. It's impossible to lend you the Piano of the Sky." The nun in white immediately gave the eviction order and turned around and left without waiting for the other party's response.
