I am a male god in Liyue

Chapter 15 The experience of eating Huyan

The kitchen of Wanmintang is semi-open. Sitting on the open space in front of the house, you can clearly see Master Mao cooking.

Fry, stir-fry, steam, stew and mix...

Xia Zhi sat quietly at the table, waiting for the food to be served, while observing the world's cooking methods with great interest from a God's perspective.

"Excuse me, little brother, do you mind if I share a table with you?"

At this time, a man in his 30s walked to Xia Zhi's table with an embarrassed look on his face.

Xia Zhi slightly raised his head, nodded towards him, and said with a smile: "Of course, please do so."

He is not a cold person and does not mind such small things.

What's more, the man who wanted to share a table also had a black iron-colored progress bar hanging on his body.

He only has 3 points now. If he wants to live in Liyue for a long time, it is not enough to just accept the commission from the Adventurers Association. He still has to rely on farming treasure chests.

Fortunately, Liyue is not in the wild. There are a lot of people here, and there are more opportunities to find treasure chests.

"Thank you, little brother!" The man sat down on the opposite side of the table with a simple smile on his face. "The business of Wan Min Tang is really good. Every time we come to eat, there are so many people and we always have to wait for a table."

The man spoke with a slight accent, his expression and movements were not too restrained, and his tone sounded familiar. He must be a local.

The clothes on his body looked a little old, but they were washed very clean, and he should be more careful in his work.

His short black hair was still stained with wet water, and his face tanned by the sun naturally showed a hint of tiredness and relaxation. He must have just finished a busy day's work.

After taking a shower, he went out to eat alone, probably without a spouse.

Combined with the faint fishy smell emanating from his body.

Xia Zhi silently made a judgment about him in his heart: a local single fisherman with a simple personality who often came to Wanmin Hall to eat.

This kind of person has been wandering on the sea all year round, has many stories about him, and has the sense of superiority of the locals. He should like to talk to foreign tourists and brag to satisfy his empty psychological needs.

Sure enough, not long after he sat down, the man smiled and talked to him: "My little brother is a tourist from outside, right?"

Xia Zhi had a curious expression on his face: "Yes, how did you know?"

The man pointed to the menu on the table and said with a smile: "Only people who come to Wanmintang for the first time need to read the menu. We regular customers all order directly."

After saying that, he shouted towards the hall: "Xiang Ling, I want a piece of spicy chicken with tender peppers!"

The girl's crisp voice immediately responded inside: "Okay! Wait a moment!"

"I see." Xia Zhi nodded, shook his head, and said, "Actually, the menu is of little use to me. I'm blind. I just heard guests at other tables saying they wanted to eat crab roe tofu. So I ordered one."

"Ah..." The man was a little surprised, and then he saw his eyes were gray and lifeless. "Feel sorry……"

"No need to apologize. You are right. This is indeed my first time in Liyue." Xia Zhi took the initiative to change the subject. "I heard that the Moon-Chasing Festival in Liyue is very lively, so I wanted to come and experience it."

"Our Moon-Chasing Festival here is indeed very famous. Every year, many travelers from other places come here to see it." Hearing this, the man immediately felt proud on his face. "But little brother, it's a pity that your eyes can't see the moonscape."

"It doesn't matter, it would be nice to experience the festive atmosphere."

"My little brother is very open-minded, but you want to drink? I'll treat you!"

"Thank you, I don't like drinking."

"There's some good wine from Mondstadt!"

"Good intentions to take it."

……

This local man was hospitable and easy to talk to, but Xia Zhi felt a little helpless when he looked at the status of the progress bar on this man.

Progress: 【5%】

The two of them had been chatting for several minutes. Under his deliberate guidance, the man became more and more interested in each other, and he actually felt like he was a close friend who had met so late.

But the progress bar on him actually only increased this much.

If you keep going at this speed, by the time the two of you finish eating together, you will probably only be able to get to half of the progress.

Sure enough, it is still too slow to refresh the progress bar just by relying on the interactive form of dialogue.

But that's all for now.

The food for two people was quickly served.

Crab roe tofu, fragrant and tender pepper chicken.

The man took a pair of serving chopsticks, picked up the chicken with great enthusiasm, and asked him to try it: "This is my favorite dish. Other restaurants also have it, but only Wanmin Tang can make it taste like this."

This is a cold chicken dish, somewhat like the recipe of saliva chicken.

The white and tender chicken seems to be able to be broken by a blow, and the juice bursts out when you bite it with your teeth. It is like a dream, making people forget where they are.

The most important thing is that the taste of the chili in this dish is completely different from the chili in Xia Zhi's impression.

Xia Zhi chewed it carefully and nodded with a smile: "It's really delicious."

The man was even happier. For a diner, it is a beautiful thing to be able to recommend his favorite dishes to others and get praise from others.

"If you like it, just eat more. If it's not enough, I'll order another!"

"You're welcome, you can also try the crab roe tofu I ordered."

"My little brother knows how to order. The crab roe tofu is also a specialty of Wan Min Tang."

"Really? I ordered it just like others. It's really delicious."

"The autumn wind blows and crabs' legs are itchy. Now is a good time to eat crabs. The crabs at this time are the most delicious. If you like crabs, I can save some big ones for you tomorrow."

"Oh? I wonder what business my brother is in?"

"There is no business, just fishing and selling fish. There is a small shop on the street at the port called Liu Ji Fish Shop."

"My surname is Liu?"

"Well, what's your last name, little brother?"

"My surname is Xia. Brother Liu is interested, but I'm living in a hotel now and can't cook crabs."

"It's okay! You can bring it to Wanmintang and let Master Mao help you make it. Don't worry about his craftsmanship. It's guaranteed to taste better than what you make yourself! The processing fee is not expensive!"

"Is it still possible?"

"Of course you can, let's just say it! If you come over to Wanmin Hall tomorrow night, I'll treat you to crabs!"

"Then thank you Brother Liu."

Xia Zhi agreed with a look of embarrassment, finally feeling stable in his heart.

Refresh half of the progress bar tonight, and another half of the progress bar tomorrow night, just in time to finish the treasure chest on him.

After dinner, Xia Zhi said goodbye to Brother Liu, and then followed Brother Liu's recommendation to a nearby tailor shop and bought two casual-style clothes and two sets of soft pajamas, spending a total of almost 500 moras.

Passing by a barbecue stall, it smelled delicious.

Xia Zhi stopped and spent another 20 moras to buy two skewers of grilled tiger fish.

The fish skewers are grilled over a rapid fire, and the golden skin locks in the tender fish meat. It is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It is so delicious that you don't want to let go of the few strands of fish meat that stick to the bamboo skewers at the end.

After eating the skewers, Xia Zhi strolled slowly on the street and returned to Kanhai Hotel.

After taking a hot bath and putting on his newly bought pajamas, Xia Zhi lay on the bed, listening to the faint sound of the waves outside, and slowly fell asleep.

Chapter No.16 Those who get up early will not have bad luck

The next morning, Xia Zhi woke up in bed, staring at the ceiling with gray eyes, and stared blankly for a few minutes.

He suddenly missed the little mother crane.

Where is it now?What are you doing again?

The little female crane looks quite spiritual. I wonder if it will transform into a human form like the vixen in the story and come to repay the favor.

After being in a daze, Xia Zhi got up from the bed, folded the quilt, opened the window to let some air in, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then put on the new clothes he bought last night.

The clothes were Liyue's local style. He felt a little uncomfortable wearing them, but he would have to get used to them in the future.

Today’s plan is still to go shopping.

The city of Liyue can be divided into four areas, Chihuyan, Feiyunpo, Yujingtai and the port area.

Xia Zhi went to Chihuyan for a brief stroll last night, and today he planned to visit three other places.

Go downstairs and go out, first to the port area.

This is a centralized place for foreign ships to dock. Once there were department stores leaving, thousands of ships arriving, and thousands of merchants gathering.

Although it has declined somewhat now, the traffic is still huge.

Large merchant ships, fishermen's boats, patrolling military ships... all kinds of ships are entering and leaving the port in sequence.

Trumpets, cries, greetings, laughter, footsteps, the sound of oars gliding through the waves, the sound of seagulls chirping...

Countless voices intertwined together, starting the lively morning in Liyue Port.

Xia Zhi stood by the port, holding a small mirror in his hand.

This is the imported goods from the Winter Solstice Country that he just bought at a street stall for 150 moras.

Xia Zhi pointed the mirror in the direction of the sea, and the shadow of the ship in the distant sea was immediately clearly reflected in the mirror.

This was a view that he could not appreciate originally. After all, the detection distance was only 20 meters away.

But in such a way, these spectacular scenery smoothly entered his "eyes".

"it's beautiful."

Xia Zhi slowly moved the mirror in his hand, taking in all the distant seascape into the mirror.

“Although it’s expensive, it’s worth it.”

After watching the sunrise on the beach, Xia Zhi put the mirror in his inventory and started walking around the port area.

The streets here are filled with stalls and food stalls.

In addition to fresh fish, the stalls mostly sell goods from all over the mainland.

Mondstadt, Sumeru, Fontaine, Rice Wife...

All kinds of novelty items were purchased by merchants from their places of origin and traveled across the ocean to Liyue, waiting to be bought and played with.

The same goes for the food stalls, which feature specialty snacks from all over the world.

Take Inazuma's fish cakes, for example. Fresh fish meat is chopped into minced meat, mixed with rice flour and steamed in a pot. The appearance is as attractive as snow-white rice cakes, but the taste is sweet with fish meat, and the texture is bouncy and glutinous. Not a trace of fishy smell.

It tastes very good just eating it like this, but the boss also provides more than a dozen kinds of sauces, sweet and spicy, sour and spicy, honey, sweet and sour...

All I can say is it's really great.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but order a very spicy fish cake. It felt a little different from the spicy fish cakes in Xiangcheng in the original world.

I wonder if there will be a market for selling stinky tofu and snail noodles here?

After eating the fish cake, Xia Zhi bought a bottle of raspberry juice and drank it in one sip. It tasted sour and sweet, and was delicious.

After continuing to walk around for a while, he stopped in front of a stall selling glasses.

The stall owner is a Fontaine woman with a good figure. She also wears a pair of plain glasses on her nose and has a somewhat intellectual temperament.

"Brother, are you interested in glasses?"

"Well, how much do these black glasses cost?"

"Fifty moras."

"too expensive."

"It's already very cheap. These black lenses are specially made."

"500 molas, do you want to sell it?"

"It's too low! 900 moras is not much."

"Fifty moras."

"800 is the lowest!"

"500 molas, if it doesn't work, forget it. I'll go check out other stalls."
