Original God's Dark Priest

With the Zhuyue Festival approaching, Liyue Port has entered into a festive atmosphere.

But at this time, Iwagami Teahouse encountered some minor troubles.

"Master, look at this new batch of tea. It's just that the quality is not good. Even the taste is far different from usual. This kind of tea is not drinkable at all." Chu Yi complained to Safire while holding a tea can.

Safir took the new tea in her hand, looked at it twice, smelled it again, and immediately curled his lips: "What's going on? Have you offended the supplier? Can this kind of tea be delivered? "

Chu Yi immediately shook her head: "How is that possible? You can't offend anyone by offending those people, right? Our teahouse was originally opened with the sign of Qiao Yingzhuang Tea. If we break up with them, wouldn't we destroy our own sign? We do this kind of thing I won’t do it.”

Seeing Chu Yi's vow, Safir frowned. What she said made sense. The staff in this teahouse were all selected after thousands of selections. It is impossible to make stupid mistakes. In fact, there is no competition for tea in Liyue. Among rivals, the only one with business overlap is Heyu Teahouse.

However, the main focus there is still Yunhanshe's performances, and they are not so demanding on the quality of the tea itself.

Safire analyzed in his mind and thought of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. Feiyun Chamber of Commerce also deals in tea business. Are those people up to something?

"I'm going to Feiyun Chamber of Commerce to have a look. If it doesn't work, I'll go to Qiaoying Village. Just a while ago, Yaoyao said that she wanted to invite us as guests." Safire quickly thought of a countermeasure and was ready to take action.

Tea is the foundation of a teahouse and there is no room for carelessness. Fortunately, there are still some tea leaves that have not been used up, which can be used for a while, but this matter cannot be left like this.

Soon, Safire came to Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.

Feiyun Chamber of Commerce was as lively as ever, and she immediately found Xingqiu, who was frowning and thinking outside the crowd.

Xingqiu and Safiir hadn't met very often, so they weren't familiar with each other. However, his relationship with Ying was pretty good. Just when Safiir was thinking about how to go forward and ask, Xingqiu raised his head and saw her. .

"Are you...Teacher Su Jin?" The second young master's eyes shone slightly, and he actually came over to say hello and called her Teacher Su Jin, which surprised Safiir.

After thinking for a moment, Safire nodded: "Teacher Zhenyu actually knows me, I'm honored."

This statement made Xingqiu stunned. His pen name was indeed Zhenyu, but his book "The Record of Shen Qiu's Picking Up Swords" was not famous in Liyue, and he himself had never made it public, so almost no one knew about it. His pen name was revealed by Safire.

Xingqiu knew that Safire's pen name naturally had its own way. It had been so long since Safire's book was introduced to Liyue from Dao Wife. A fantasy light novel in the style of Dao Wife was for Liyue people who were accustomed to the martial arts system. , brings a refreshing feeling.

Xingqiu had also read it. After knowing that Beidou had brought this book, he tried his best to inquire about it. Later, he found out who Teacher Su Jin was. However, due to his status as the executive officer of Safir Fools, he had not made up his mind. Determined to visit.

Unexpectedly, we met suddenly today, which caught Xingqiu a little off guard.

Seeing Xingqiu's stiff expression, Saphire frowned. In her impression, Xingqiu was a troublemaker and a good talker. A few words from his small mouth could make others lose their temper. , why is it so quiet today?

After thinking about it, she decided to ignore it and directly asked about tea-related matters: "Okay, let's not talk about that. Young Master Xingqiu should know about me. I have some property in Liyue."

"Oh, you mean the Moonlight Tavern and the Yanshang Teahouse. I know. Speaking of which, our Chamber of Commerce still has some trade relations with the Moonlight Tavern." Xingqiu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He has always been good at receiving people. As for the things, I felt a little out of control due to the sudden encounter today.

Fortunately, Safire picked up the topic and there was no awkwardness between the two.

As he spoke, Xingqiu came to his senses: "Did you also encounter problems in your teahouse?"

"Yes?" Safire raised his eyebrows slightly. Seeing Xingqiu's behavior, Feiyun Chamber of Commerce was aware of the tea problem, but they were also victims. If you think about it, it was probably something wrong with Qiao Yingzhuang.

Xingqiu sighed softly: "To be honest with Teacher Su Jin, the quality of the tea we bought from Qiaoyingzhuang has declined very seriously these days. Although it is fine for drinking, the taste cannot satisfy those who know tea well. Gluttons.”

"Well, Iwagami Teahouse also encountered a similar situation, so I came here to check on your situation. I wanted to go to Heyu Teahouse again, but now it seems that I don't need to." Safir Wai He tilted his head, showing a helpless expression.

Xingqiu nodded slightly: "In that case, let's go to Qiaoyingzhuang to find out what's going on. I happen to be free these days, so I can make a trip. Teacher Su Jin, do you want to go with me?"

"Oh? I remember that the Zhuyue Festival is coming soon. Is it okay to go to Qiaoyingzhuang at this time?" Safire was a little surprised. She thought that with the Zhuyue Festival coming soon, the autumn trip would be busier.

Xingqiu smiled slightly: "If the Chamber of Commerce suffers losses because of the tea incident, this Zhuyue Festival will not be peaceful. Besides, just come back before the festival comes. Also, Teacher Su Jin has something to ask Are you too busy to leave?"

"It's nothing." Safire pinched her chin. In fact, she had intended to go to Qiaoying Village. A Ping told her about this two days ago. Xianyun and A Ping ran to Yaoyao's house. After playing, he asked her if she wanted to go, but at that time Safiir declined the invitation because she wanted to help Ying adjust the chalk sword.

Now that the debugging has been completed, she has just enough time, so there is nothing wrong with taking a trip.

With this in mind, Safire decisively accepted Xingqiu's invitation, and the two of them headed to Shenyu Valley.

Because of the long distance, Safiir used Holy Wings and God's Teachings to speed up the two of them, trying to get there as soon as possible.

Ying on the other side came to Wanmin Hall at Xiangling's invitation.

"Excuse me!" Ying opened the curtain at the door and stuck her head out.

Xiang Ling, who was busy at the stove, heard Ying's voice and immediately came forward excitedly: "Ying, little Paimon! You are here!"

"Why are you two free to come here today?" Master Mao said in greeting, as hospitable as ever.

Xiangling raised her cute eyebrows and said happily: "Hehe, daddy, I called Ying here. Originally, I wanted to call Safire, but she seemed to be inconvenient and threw it to me in a hurry. A few recipes ran away.”

"That's it, um... it's really a pity." Master Mao looked a little weird. His daughter is good at everything, but her emotional intelligence doesn't seem to be enough. Is that inconvenient for the other party? That’s because I don’t want to be a food tester! But Ying actually came, which made him relieved.

Ying is a good girl. She came to taste the food during the Hai Lantern Festival before, and she didn’t complain at all. She fell asleep every time after eating the food. The quality of her sleep was great and she saved her worries.

Without correcting his daughter's point of view, Master Mao looked at the innocent-looking Ying with a smile: "Since we are here, let's eat first. What do you want to eat?"

Little Paimon has been in Liyue for a long time, so he naturally knows what Wanmintang's signature dish is, so he directly ordered the boiled black back bass.

"Okay! You guys chat, the boiled black back bass will be here soon!" Master Mao nodded and went to work quickly.

Master Mao went to work, and Xiang Ling took Ying to a table on one side and asked her to sit down: "Hey, Ying, I want to ask you something!"

"What's going on?" Little Paimon had never experienced food tasting, so he didn't have a deep impression of what happened before, so he didn't even think of it after hearing Xiang Ling's words.

Yingze showed a horrified look. She will never forget that time during the Hai Lantern Festival in her life. Because she accidentally made a serious mistake, Safirti sneaked here to work as a food tester. Those days were really... It's dark, and every day I fall into a coma due to all kinds of weird dishes.

Although he guessed in his heart that this time it was probably because of this incident, Ying still secretly had a luck mentality, what if it wasn't the case?

Xiangling didn't see Ying's expression, and continued: "You must have seen it in the past few days, right? There have been many changes to the Zhuyue Festival decorations in the city!"

"Oh! It turns out it's the Zhuyue Festival!" Ying suddenly realized. She was originally thinking that Liyue was celebrating a festival. She didn't know what the festival was and was about to find someone to ask.

Little Paimon scratched his little head, thought for a while and asked: "The Chasing Moon Festival...is it also Liyue's traditional festival?"

"That's right! The Zhuyue Festival is a grand festival for us Liyue people to celebrate the bright moon in autumn. I heard from the old people that as early as thousands of years ago, immortals would seek immortality during this period.

hey-hey! It’s different now! During the Zhuyue Festival, we will eat delicious food, visit relatives and friends, admire the moon and flowers... it is much simpler. And it is something that everyone likes and is not troublesome. "Xiang Ling, as an out-and-out Liyue native, began to introduce the origin and anecdotes of Zhuyue Festival to Ying.

Little Paimon's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Sounds like a festival I would love!" She loved eating, drinking and having fun everywhere.

Xiang Ling nodded in agreement: "Paimon has a good taste in food, and he will definitely like Zhuyue Festival!"

Hearing her words, Ying looked at the proud little Paimon with some shame: "Taste it... I have reservations."

She felt that using the word taste on this guy who could hold a slime and chew it was an insult to the word.

"Hey! Why are you dissatisfied with my taste?" Little Paimon saw Ying's little thoughts and was very unhappy.

Seeing the two little ones bickering, Xiangling chuckled and waved her hands: "Anyway, are you two free recently? I am going to participate in this year's King of Kitchen Competition, and I would like to ask you to be my food consultant."

It's time to come!

Ying was sweating profusely. She was a gourmet consultant, or simply a food tester. This job was not easy to accept. Just when she was thinking about how to refuse, Xiangling pulled out a few recipes from the cabinet on the side. The handwriting on the recipes was very New, written by Safire.

"I just collected a few recipes from Saphire. They are all rare and precious otherworldly dishes that have never been published. I want to try to restore them. There should be no problem." Xiang Ling said while looking through the recipes in his hand.

The ying eyes that were about to refuse rolled around and forced a smile: "So that's it? Then I have to help."

Different world cuisine! She still remembers the taste of Mapo Tofu and Di Sanxian! If Xiangling can restore these things, that would be a great merit!

"That's great!" At this time, Master Mao came over with boiled blackback bass. "When you encounter something you don't understand, ask your friends for advice and you will have a broader idea!"

After helping Ying finalize the task of tasting dishes, little Paimon also reacted at this time and suddenly asked: "Speaking of which, what kind of competition is the King of Kitchen Competition? Is there such a competition in Liyue?"

Hearing Paimon's question, Xiangling was stunned for a moment, and then understood: "Ah, I know, you probably haven't heard of it yet. Each Moon-by-Moon Festival has a different theme, usually designated by the Seven Stars. This year’s theme is ‘Food and Mountains and Rivers’, and in response to this theme, Seven Stars also specially organized a cooking competition.”

"Food and mountains and rivers...food and the scenery of hometown is a good topic!" Little Paimon sighed.

Xiang Ling nodded with deep understanding: "Right? I think so too! I heard that Miss Ningguang personally appointed her. She is so powerful... She always looks unfathomable..."

Ying thought of that big, white and yellow person. He usually had a high and mighty attitude, but when he communicated with her, he was surprisingly approachable. Maybe this was the effect of the filter.

Distance creates beauty, but also alienation. In fact, Ningguang is not so cold and unattainable.

After a series of random thoughts in her mind, Ying turned her attention to the current matter and asked directly: "What does Xiangling need us to do?"

When it came time to make the request, Xiangling felt a little embarrassed. She hesitated and said shyly: "Isn't this because of the Hailantern Festival? I always felt that you sacrificed a lot, and this time because you have a fixed recipe. , so I think the development of dishes should be a sure thing, so I thought of inviting you to come with me, just to relax on my free day...

And I actually would like to develop original new dishes, if time permits... But you don’t have to force it if you don’t want to. Of course, I mainly want you to try these dishes. It would be better if they can be further improved!

By the way, you can also collect your thoughts on food! This time I want to break away from my usual thinking without any scruples. I need to ask a few more people and collect more different ideas. "

"Because we have a back-up, we can innovate without pressure, right?" Looking at Xiang Ling's squirming look, Ying smiled helplessly. She had said so, how could anyone refuse her? She could only risk her life. Accompanying the gentleman.

Little Paimon didn't think too much, and patted his small chest directly, saying proudly: "This is easy to handle! After all, we have friends all over the world! Isn't that right, Ying!"

Ying shrugged: "No way, who made us so popular?"

"Oh! You're very confident!" After receiving the affirmative reply, Xiangling immediately smiled. Ying's willingness to help undoubtedly gave her a lot of motivation and relieved her of a lot of worries.

Little Paimon narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "It's okay to give in! After we finish eating the delicious food, we will visit our friends in Liyue and ask them one by one what they think."

Xiangling nodded immediately: "Yeah! Great, great! Wait for the rice cooker to come back later, and we'll all set off together!"

Ying and Little Paimon immediately tasted the boiled black back bass.

Little Paimon sighed while eating: "Yeah! It's so delicious! Sure enough, in this kind of weather, you need to eat fresh and hot food!"

"Hahaha, our Xiangling is not a fuel-efficient lamp. When we go out, we have to rely on you two to take care of us." Master Mao chuckled lightly and greeted Yingying.

When Xiangling heard this, she was immediately ashamed and complained: "Dad! How could you say that to me!"

Master Mao straightened his face and immediately became serious: "How can I not know what you are like? When you are away from home, you should not be too casual and learn to be more reliable!"

"Don't worry, we are friends and we will definitely take care of each other!" Little Paimon quickly smoothed things over.

On the contrary, Ying felt a little embarrassed. She felt that she was actually not that reliable. She was often lectured by Safiir for some things. When it comes to reliability, Safiel was the one who was really reliable, but that guy was Foolish executives must be reliable, right?

As the few people were talking, they saw that Guo Ba had returned to the door. Xiang Ling quickly reminded everyone: "Guo Ba is also back and is doing somersaults at the door!"

Now that Guoba is back, it's time to go out. Little Paimon immediately suggested: "Then let's pack up and set off!"
