"Mr. Tang?"

After calling out a few words, the person who was still chatting with the stall owner realized that people were getting a little impatient and said goodbye to the stall owner quietly.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. You can walk around freely from now on. There's still a lot of time before you have to go back. Do you want me to hold your coat for you?" It seems that in the neighboring country, people would hold people's coats for them, to show... gentlemanly manners?

"No, it seems too intimate to do this here, right?" Helping others get their coats, this is very intimate, so disgusting...

"Okay, do you want to buy books first? Or do you want to buy something else?"

"Let's go buy some books first. I'm quite curious about the books here." I also learned the Liyue language, but the language here can't be called Liyue language now. What should it be called? Good question. I don't know either.

These buildings are better than I expected. They have an ancient style. No, this is the current style, right?

"It's a beautiful building. How was it built? It's all made of wood. The decorations are also very beautiful. Are they carved?" I asked in confusion. Is the mortise and tenon structure used now? It's said that the building was built without a single nail.

"I don't know these either. You should ask experts in the field. We are almost there. It's on the second floor in front." He is used to asking questions all the time. It seems that this person is here for the first time and it is normal for him to have more questions.

"Okay, okay, this is it?" There were only a few small bookshelves placed under the eaves where they walked to, so they wouldn't be hit by the rain, but could they really store the books like this? !

Noticing the frown on his face, he said, "Are you worried about the books? It's sunny now, so they'll take the books out to dry in the sun. On cloudy and rainy days, they'll be put inside the house. This is only a portion of them. Most of the books are in there, and I guarantee they'll open your eyes."

"That's good." Now there are some strange stories. I flipped through two pages at random. What do these stories say? There is no novelty, not at all! I have read quite a few Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio in my previous life. What kind of stories have I not seen? What kind of ghost stories have I not seen? What kind of scary and uncomfortable stories have I not heard others read?

It turns out that you still need to read professional books.

"Hello, do you have any books on alchemy?" After the word was uttered, the lady who was helping to wait on the guests was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then repeated the word "alchemy".

"Sorry, I haven't heard much about it..." Wait, shouldn't this be called it?

"Sorry, I'm being rude... Are there any interesting books? Forget about ordinary fantasy novels, but are there any stories that fascinate people?" For example, stories about chivalrous deeds in the past!

"Those books are a bit like "Acting on Behalf of Heaven" and "Following Heaven's Fate" are the two best-selling novels recently. They tell the stories of knights. By the way, do you know what a knight is?" He should be a foreigner, right? I can guess from the color of his hair that he probably doesn't quite understand.

"It's about protecting others and having ideals, right?" I came up with an appropriate metaphor.

"That's not a wrong understanding. There are also some professional books. Would you like to take a look? They are about Feng Shui and fortune-telling."

"I can take a look at it, but I don't think I can understand it. Without a teacher, I might just be able to recognize all the words." It's not his money anyway, so he might as well try memorizing the book.

"Okay, then I'll wrap these books for you... This is special paper. It can keep out water and moisture, and it won't be easily damaged." I've seen this kind of paper before, but only in very old bookstores. Books in bookstores are directly sealed and packaged in plastic.

Finally, wrap it with cloth and hold it in your hands.

My favorite thing to do is to smell the ink inside a new book after buying it... What about this book? Does it have that kind of ink smell?

"Ms. Amber, where else would you like to go?" It seemed like he was giving me the decision-making power, but in fact he was telling me that it was time to go to the next place.

"Please lead the way. We still need some materials. The materials I personally select will be more to my liking."

Now it's time to look for the flame flowers. I found a few blooming pots of them. They are pretty good, the flower centers are still in perfect shape, and the elemental power is impressive.

"I picked out these ones that meet my requirements. You can decide for yourself about the others... Is there a shop selling sweet soup here? What kind of things do they sell? Anyway, I'm thirsty and tired now, so I want to find a place to sit for a while..."

These two places are really far apart, one is in a special mineral area, the other is in a special plant area. I also visited bookstores in densely populated areas.

The sun is too strong. This suit is not very thick, but it is still hot. Why is it so hot here? Is it because Mondstadt is too cold and I have stayed there for too long?

Mondstadt is indeed a little cooler than other places (except in winter) because it is close to the snow-capped mountains.

"Please follow me. Let's go a little further. There is a pretty good teahouse where you can listen to storytelling or just sit for a while. Storytelling is when one person plays several roles and tells a story... That's roughly how to put it. The storytelling in that teahouse is really good, and the stories it tells are even more appealing." It seems that he really likes that storytelling house. It's his hobby, right?

"Then you lead the way..." I followed him slowly, not walking too fast, nor stopping. Along the way, I saw many new and interesting shops. Most of them did not have fixed shops, but had their own small stalls. They did business in the alleys between houses. There were many different kinds of businesses...

Some of the vendors were hawking their wares, selling grilled fish...disgusting fish.

There were also some snacks, but they didn’t look very appetizing. It was too hot and I couldn’t eat anything.

Is there anything cooler or something icy? Do I have to go back and eat some ice mist flowers?

I was looking left and right and accidentally bumped into the back of the person in front of me.

It hurts so much! But the other person should feel more pain than me, right? I think my elbow hit him first...

"Sorry, I didn't look at the road. Are we there yet?" Don't stop suddenly!

"It's okay. It doesn't hurt. We have indeed reached the destination. It's inside this building."

There is a huge sign, it seems to be a teahouse?

The characters above are hard to recognize. In fact, I can recognize ordinary characters, but what is this? Small official script or cursive script? I can't recognize what the characters are at all? !
