It was raining lightly at Liyue Port, and Paimon and Air Crash had no quests to complete. To mourn the first anniversary of the death of the Rock King Dijun, the Adventurers Association did not release any new quests today.
Walking on the street, Paimon found that there were far fewer people on the street than usual.
"Is there a store open over there? Let's go and have a look." The floating Paimon suggested to the sky, she saw many ceramic dolls of the Rock King Dijun, they were cute and naive, and she wanted to buy them.
But before they reached the shop selling ceramic dolls, they were attracted by the fragrance coming from the Manmin Hall.
Pymon gulped, and her stomach began to growl.
"Why don't we go to Wanmintang to eat first?" Paimeng encouraged Kong, "Maybe we can meet Xiangling!"
As she said, her saliva became more secreted. The sweet and delicious taste of the candied chestnuts made by Xiangling last time was still fresh in Paimeng's memory. She began to look forward to what she could eat this time, whether it was boiled fish or fresh dim sum?
Kong nodded, and Paimeng, who got the agreement, immediately flew to Wanmintang, only to see Xiang Ling and Master Mao chopping and frying vegetables, so busy that they didn't care about the guests.
Paimon didn't bother them, but looked around, and said to Kong who was chasing up, "The crispy rice is not here."
As the last spoonful of hot oil was splashed on the fish, Xiangling finally noticed someone coming amidst the stinging sound.
"It's a traveler!" Putting the newly cooked dishes on the plate, Xiangling put down the spatula and said to Kong and Paimeng, "Sorry, I'm too busy today, and a big order came suddenly."
Speaking of which, Xiangling sighed, "I thought no one would order food on this kind of day." She originally wanted to take advantage of the rain and go to the mountains to pick new bamboo shoots, but the plan was all in vain.
"Didn't Guoba come to help?" Paimon asked curiously. This is really strange. You must know that Guoba almost never leaves Xiangling, just like she never leaves Traveler.
"When I was cooking, I wanted to ask Guoba to watch the fire, but when the fire was lit, I realized that it disappeared early this morning. Fortunately, it took away the sauced meat I made earlier, otherwise I was really afraid that he would be hungry." While recalling, Xiangling invited travelers to try the dishes, "Would you like to try my sauced meat? I use a new brine recipe."
Kongzai said with expectant eyes in Xiangling's eyes, "Okay."
"Okay, it's been a long time since I ate dishes made by Xiangling!" Paimon kicked his legs happily.
"Food is more delicious if it is shared together. Wait a minute and I'll get it for you." Xiangling was also happy that her dishes were liked by her friends.
The sauced meat was served on a white porcelain plate, and the rich brown sauce was sprinkled on it. The strong aroma attracted the stars in Paimon's eyes to merge into one.
Xiangling pushed the plate in front of the traveler and Paimon, "Eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it gets cold."
"Thank you." Sora politely said to Xiangling.
"It's okay, you guys eat first and I'll continue cooking, and tell me if it's not enough." If it wasn't too busy today, she would also like to let Traveler and Paimon try her new candied ice slime.
After eating the sauced meat, Pai Meng felt his stomach and burped, at this time Xiang Ling finally finished all the dishes on the order.
Just when she was packing and asking the errand guy to deliver it, she unexpectedly found that no one was willing to take the order.
"Is it too far away?" Master Mao asked the third guy who refused to deliver the food.
The man waved his hand and replied, "Master Mao, it's not that I don't want to give it away, it's just that this place doesn't look like a place where people live."
"Where is it?" Paimon, who was full of food and drink, pulled Kong to look at it.
The guy directly handed the scented note to Kong, "Look, little brother, does the address written on it look like someone lives?"
Kong took the note, only to see that it said, return to Liji, in the center of Luhuachi.
"This address...couldn't be the dishes ordered by the immortals?" Paimeng muttered to Kong in a low voice, "But don't the immortals respect the emperor? How could they order so many dishes today?"
Paimeng looked at the errand boy who was still bargaining with Master Mao, and thought of helping Xiangling deliver the food, "Why don't we deliver? I feel a little embarrassed after eating so much sauced meat in Xiangling." Then she scratched Scratching his head, he let out a hey laugh.
Staring at Paimon for a while, Sora silently chose the former between Paimon's embarrassment and goodness.
Hearing Kong's answer, Paimon yelled with his hands on his hips, "What do you mean I'd be embarrassed too?" She would finish eating every time, well, never wasting the food Xiangling carefully cooked.
"Let me do it." Ignoring Paimon who was stomping his feet, Kong took the address, "We've been there before."
"Really, little brother?!" The errand boy heaved a sigh of relief.
Paimon then affirmed, "We helped a painter find brushes and paints in Luhuachi, and we are familiar with it." Although they had a hard time finding that brush, and it was in front of them several times, they didn't see it.
"That's really great." Xiang Ling, who was embarrassed by the fact that no one delivered the food, felt relieved, "If it's a traveler, it will definitely be delivered."
Kong and Paimeng got the wooden box containing the dishes and the logo of Manmintang, and began to deliver the dishes according to the simple map drawn on the paper.
At this time, the rain outside had stopped, and many children came out to play in the water.
"The immortal who ordered the dishes, does he know that Zhongli is the emperor?" Paimeng said to Kong while walking, "If you don't know, maybe these dishes will be a tribute to the emperor."
"If that's the case, wouldn't it be embarrassing for her to meet Zhongli again in the future?"
Chatting and chatting, Paimeng and Kong left Liyue Port, walked past Tianheng Mountain, and what they saw was the endless plain.
Paimon stood at the intersection and pointed to the west, "Luhuachi should be in that direction."
Not far from where she pointed, several Qiuqiu people suddenly appeared, and they were rushing towards the carriage carrying goods on the path.
"No, it's from Qiuqiu!" Paimon exclaimed, before she finished speaking, Kong went to save her.
The Qiuqiu people who robbed the truck found Kong, and they didn't care about the cargo. Some started digging slimes from the ground, while others raised guns and shot arrows with elemental power into the air.
Avoiding the flying slimes and bows and arrows, Kong used the force of the wind element to directly blow the Chuqiu people aside to prevent the driver on the truck from being hurt, but Kong didn't notice that behind him, there was a man holding a burning stick The Qiuqiu people were fighting in his direction.
"Be careful."
A gust of wind blew by, and the Qiuqiu people behind Kong flew straight to three meters away.
A young man with golden eyes and dark blue hair descended from the sky. Together with Sora, he quickly dealt with the monsters that robbed the caravan.
"It's Mandrill!" Paimon was surprised when she saw who the person who came to help was, she didn't expect to meet this young fairy.
"Are you all right?" Mandrill looked at Kong, as if to confirm whether he was injured.
Kong shook his head, these Qiuqiu people still couldn't hurt him.
"It's fine." After finishing speaking, Mandrill continued to ask, "Why did you appear here?"
This time Paimon answered first, "We are here to deliver food." After speaking, he felt strange, since the nearest restaurant to Luhua Lake was Wangshu Inn, why would this fairy go far away to place an order for Wanmintang.
Could it be that the other party, like Kaiya, ordered all the dishes in all places?
"Dish?" Mandrill frowned. For ordinary people, Guiliyuan almost belonged to the wilderness. Who would order food in such a place.
"Why don't we show Mandrill the note with the address on it, maybe he knows the fairy who ordered the food." Paimeng suggested in a low voice, she felt that if Mandrill really knew the exact address of the fairy, he could still help him. They give directions so they don't have to fumble around.
Kong thought that what Paimon said was reasonable, and took out a note from the interspatial bag to Mandrill, asking him if he knew the address on it.
As soon as Mandrill saw the words Luhuachi, he understood, "So it's here, I'll lead you there."
"Great!" Paimon, who planned to pass, was very happy.
Under the guidance of Mandrill, Kong and Paimeng came to Luhuachi, and the scenery like splashed ink landscape came into view. The clear pool was like jade, and the clear water reflected the clouds. Even though he had seen it many times, Paimeng still couldn't help but admire it.
Looking at the lake, Mandrill stopped.
"Well, here we are." He didn't look ready to move any further.
"Drill doesn't need to go together?" Paimon asked.
Shaking his head, Mandrill said, "I still have things to do."
Originally Mandrill was on Paimeng's list of not to be messed with, seeing that he didn't want to go, she didn't dare to ask any more questions, she just urged Kong to deliver the food as soon as possible, and imitated Xiang Ling's saying that the food doesn't taste good when it's cold up.
When he came to the edge of Luhua Pool, Paimon remembered that the note didn't seem to mention how to get to the middle of the water.
"Are we going to swim there?"
When Paimon was at a loss, the Liuli Lily that bloomed by the water suddenly spoke.
"Are you two here to deliver food?"
Paimon was taken aback by the gentle voice, "The flowers are talking?!"
"Yes, we have accepted the commission of Wanmintang to deliver food." Sora's reaction was very calm.
After a few minutes, the water surged, and a big golden fish poked its head out of the water.
"You two just hand over the lunch box to it." Liuli Lily made a voice again.
Paimon looked at the docile big fish and asked, "Is there no reward?" They walked for a long time before delivering the food.
Knowing that this kind of order has to be paid in advance, Kong told Paimon, "The reward may already be included in the meal fee."
"It's true that I have already paid for it, but I feel sorry for letting you go so far."
"Why don't I give you the glazed lily by the water."
Sora also understood that it was unreasonable to ask for money, so he accepted the suggestion. Anyway, he never thought about asking for a reward from the beginning.
After picking a few glazed lilies, Kong and Paimon returned to Liyue Harbor.
When approaching Liyue Harbor, Paimon was still looking at the glazed lilies growing by the water, and she suddenly found that they looked different from other glazed lilies.
"Did I admit it wrong?" Paimon muttered to herself, she stared at the flower, ready to take a closer look, but accidentally bumped into someone.
"I'm sorry... hey? Is it Master Di Luke and Kaiya?!"
One day, Paimon was a little frightened when she saw two people who were on the list of people who couldn't be provoked. She opened her eyes wide and didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, the silence was quickly broken.
"Brother Honor Knight and little Paimon, how are you?" Keli bouncing around trying to attract Paimon's and Kong's attention.
"Yo, honorary knight, I didn't expect to meet you here." Kaiya said with a smile after changing into a normal suit.
Diluc also nodded out of courtesy, as a greeting.
"Are you here to pay homage to the Emperor of the Rock?" Paimon didn't expect to meet Mond's big wine merchant, members of the West Wind Knights, and the spark knight Xiao Keli in Liyue.
Kaiya nodded helplessly, "Well, the acting captain asked me to attend the mourning party as the West Wind Knights." Having said that, this trip to Liyue is more like a vacation for Kaya, according to Seven Stars According to the saying, Liyue is not going to pay homage to the Emperor Yan Wang with great fanfare.
"As for Keli..." Kaya looked at Keli, "Let her speak for herself."
Hearing what Kaya said, Keli lowered her head and didn't dare to look at the traveler. The beep on her bag swayed regularly, which usually meant that she was in trouble.
"Ke Li fried the fish in the fruit wine lake, afraid of being discovered by Captain Qin, she secretly ran out with Brother Kaiya."
"If you sneak out, Captain Qin will definitely be even angrier." Paimon understands that Keli doesn't want to be locked up, but she can't escape her mistakes.
At this moment, Kaiya continued, "When we go back tomorrow, the acting captain should not be angry."
"Really? Brother Kaiya!" Kaya's words still made Keli very happy in an instant.
"of course."
Although the confinement room is still indispensable.Kaiya didn't tell Keli about this cruel reality. He changed the subject and deliberately told Kong and Paimon, "As for Master Diluc, the purpose of my trip is the same."
With a snort, Di Luke retorted, "I'm here on behalf of the Mond Chamber of Commerce, and I have nothing to do with the Knights." He didn't want others to misunderstand that he was with the Knights.
Paimon didn't know what to say when he heard this, and in the end he just spread his hands, "It's still the same."
"Speaking of which, honorary knights, why are you here again? Is it a mission?" Kaiya asked calmly, as if this was just an ordinary question.
Kong had nothing to hide, he talked about the day's events, and when he talked about Manmintang and sauced pork, he heard a cooing sound.
"It's not Keli's stomach that's growling, it's Duduke." The young Keli still doesn't know what it means to not call herself.
Seeing that everyone, including the strange adult, was looking at her, Keli, who couldn't bear the pressure of the eyes, held her stomach and confessed in a low voice, "It's not Duduke, but Keli is hungry." From morning until now, she only eats A slice of fisherman's toast.
"Why don't you take Keli to Wanmin Tang for dinner? I don't know if Xiangling is still here." Paimon suggested, just so she could eat along with her.
"I won't go." Seeing that Liyue Harbor was in front of him, Di Luke simply left. He had other things to do.
Sora offered Diluc, who was in a hurry to leave, an invitation to eat, but was rejected.
Watching Di Luke walk into Liyue Port alone, Kaiya said to Kong as if comforting, "He is like this, don't worry about him."
Then Kaiya, who seemed to be inadvertent, changed the subject, "I didn't expect to meet Master Di Luke on the road."
Paimon groaned, and followed Kaiya's words, "What's unexpected?" Didn't Master Diluc come to mourn the rock king on behalf of the Mond Chamber of Commerce?
"Probably because he is a busy man. I thought I would go with Eze. It's a pity. I haven't seen him for a long time."
Keli blinked her eyes and couldn't understand, she just felt more and more hungry.
After walking for a long time, the group finally came to Wanmin Hall.
Xiangling was still working inside, she warmly received Keli, and made a donut-shaped fried egg with special sauced meat for Keli.
As for Kaiya, he ordered the boiled fish from Manmintang, and claimed that he had heard of this famous dish of Liyue, but had never had the chance to try it, so he just came to try it this time.
"Kaya really knows how to choose, this is Xiangling's specialty." Paimeng couldn't help but said to Kong while waiting for the dishes to be served.
Paimon always thought Kaia was lying, but she had no proof.
Xiangling quickly served the boiled fish, and then Paimon saw Kaia skillfully started to eat with chopsticks.
"Now I've caught the handle." Paimon, who didn't care about eating the boiled fish, put his hands on his hips, "Kaya knows how to use chopsticks, so she must have eaten in Liyue."
"Brother Kaiya has been to Liyue?" While speaking, the meat that Keli managed to catch fell from the chopsticks.
Seeing this, Xiangling thoughtfully took out a spoon and handed it to Keli.
"Thank you, Sister Chef!" Keli was finally able to eat without restriction.
"I've been spotted, I've been to Liyue." Kaiya on the other side didn't hide it, "But I really haven't eaten boiled fish in Wanmintang." He is telling the truth, every time he comes Liyue is busy with work, so she doesn't have much time to hang out, let alone taste delicious food.
It was rare to win a round, Pai Meng smiled triumphantly, she also started to eat the boiled fish after humming twice, and felt that the taste of today's dish was better than before.
Xiangling, who was basically busy, brought a simple cold dish seasoned with vinegar and sesame oil, "I will add some cucumbers to you, so that you will not get tired of eating." The table was full of big fish and meat. As a chef, Xiangling I think there should be some light seasoning.
"Speaking of which, there is a strange thing today." The reason why Xiang Ling, who was idle, said the strange thing was that she thought the traveler could solve it.
"What's weird?" Kaia seemed very concerned.
"Someone bought wild pork at a high price." After talking, Xiangling thought for a while and added, "It's not ordinary wild pork, but the extinct wild pork that was eaten in Mond. The person who bought it said that it can be exchanged for a wish."
Everyone present was stunned, and Kaiya's face changed slightly.
"Wish? It's really a strange reward." Putting down his chopsticks, Paimon was very interested in this entrustment. After all, fulfilling a wish sounds very tempting.
"If I make a wish for a lot of Mora, can it be fulfilled?" In order to let the traveler take over the task, Paimon has learned to detour, "Why don't we accept this commission? Last time in the snow mountain I saw Lots of frozen boars."
Ke Li chimed in, "Brother Abedo also told me that there are frozen wild boars in the snow mountains." If you go to the snow mountains, you can use bouncing bombs to fry wild boars, which is more fun than frying fish!
Since even Keli said that, Sora couldn't refuse.
"It's too late to go to Snow Mountain. The person who issued the commission will be there tonight." Xiangling reminded.
Paimon still refused to give up, "Why don't we go to other places with ice? Maybe we can catch up."
"Yes, brother honorary knight, let's go find wild boar." Keli pleaded, she really wanted to fry wild boar.
"Yeah." With Keli's assistance, Paimon became more confident, "So Kaia, do you know where there are frozen wild boars?"
Kaia blinked her eyes that were not covered by the blindfold, as if she didn't understand why Paimon asked him this question.
Just when everyone thought that even Kaiya didn't know about it, he coughed twice, and said solemnly, "I heard that there is a cave made of ice between the clouds, you can go there and look for it."
Xiang Ling, who often wanders in the mountains in search of food, fell into thinking because of Kaiya's words, why she hadn't found a cave made of ice in the cloud.
"Brother Kaiya is amazing! He knows everything!" Keli didn't doubt Kaiya at all.
She made a pleading gesture, "Claire has finished eating, Brother Honor Knight and little Paimon, let's go!"
"Ke Li will follow you first, I'm going to see Liyue Qixing later, it's not convenient to take her with me." Kaiya smiled and left the work of taking care of Ke Li to the traveler.
Sora was a little helpless, but he didn't refuse, Keli happily clapped hands with Paimon.
Leading Keli, Kong went to the sea of clouds first, and Kaiya excused that he was not full to pack a goby and did not go with them.
However, the road to End Cloud was much farther than Paimon expected, and Keli started to feel sleepy after less than a quarter of the way.
In addition, it was getting hotter and hotter in the afternoon, and the sun was getting bigger and bigger. He had no choice but to let Keli sleep on his back and lead Paimon back the same way. He didn't care about the ancient wild boar meat at all.
Finally walking back to Liyue Port, Paimeng, who had returned in vain, was too tired to fly.
"Is it a traveler?" So Kong, who was wandering on the street hesitating where to go next, was called out, and he turned his head to see Xing Qiu and Chong Yun, who was eating popsicles.
"It's a popsicle." Paimon still couldn't help drooling, she wanted to eat it too.
Chongyun was very generous. He took out new popsicles and distributed them to Paimon, and asked, "Have you gone to the mountains?"
"How did you find out?" Paimon, who was gnawing on a popsicle, revealed their whereabouts somehow.
"You have leaves stuck to your feet." Chongyun pointed to Keli's shoes. Because of the rain in the morning, a lot of mud and leaves stuck to the soles of her shoes.
Paimeng admitted feebly, and told Xingqiu and Chongyun about his failed experience of going to Jueyunjian to find frozen wild pork.
Hearing the story of dying before leaving school, Xingqiu laughed loudly, while Chongyun was thinking, Taishan Mansion is full of elemental power in the sea of clouds, but it is full of fire elemental power, without any ice elemental power ah.
"I know where you can find the ancient boar meat you are looking for." Xing Qiu didn't expose Kaiya's lie after all. He believed that the knight probably lied deliberately because he didn't want the traveler and the little girl to go to the snow mountain. .
"Really?!" Paimeng had no doubts about him, she knew that Xingqiu was the young master of a rich family, and it was normal to have a way to buy ancient wild boar.
This kind of rich person will definitely not lie to her, right?
Xingqiu responded, "Of course, why don't you go to my hotel for a rest first, and after Chongyun and I finish our work, I'll take you to find that vendor."
The same tired Kong couldn't refuse Xingqiu's opinion, he took Keli with the token from Xingqiu to the hotel to snag a room for free.
Pushing open the door of the guest room, Paimon threw himself on the soft bed and fell asleep.
Kong yawned involuntarily after settling Keli down. He also wanted to sleep. He walked too much today and was a little tired.
This sleep went straight until the sun went down, and Kong didn't wake up until Xingqiu knocked on the door of the guest room.
Rubbing his eyes, Kong opened the door and saw Xingqiu's embarrassed expression.
"I just learned from my buddy that a rich businessman from out of town bought all the ancient pork." Xingqiu went back to get the news that surprised him. You must know that those wild pork are very valuable and you can buy them all. It can be seen that the businessman has strong financial resources.
Paimeng and Kong, who also flew over after waking up, glanced at each other, and it was hard not to associate the two key words of out-of-town and wealthy businessman.
So Sora asked, "Is it red hair?"
Recalling the guy's description of the rich businessman, Xingqiu nodded, "It's red-haired, and he's from Mond."
"Master Diluc."
"It's a strange adult!"
Paimon's and Keli's voices sounded at the same time, only then did Space-Time realize that Keli also woke up.
"Let's ask Master Di Luke, maybe he is willing to take us to meet the acquirer who can fulfill our wish." Paimon immediately decided to go whoring for nothing.
With Master Diluque around, no one would be able to buy those wild boar meat unless Ning Guang wanted to buy it.
Paimon seemed to see the scene where Di Luke and Ning Guang bid for the ancient boar meat, and she couldn't help sighing, it's nice to have money.
"Then you guys go, I won't follow." Xing Qiu still hadn't finished reading the book.
Chongyun took him to practice in the afternoon, although in the end he turned into Chongyun to practice and he read novels beside him.
However, when Xingqiu saw the most exciting moment of that book, Chongyun took the book away and reminded him not to forget to take the travelers to buy wild pork.
"It's okay." Sora didn't mind.
According to the address given by Xingqiu, they quickly found the store and happened to meet Di Luke who came to pick up the goods.
"It's you?" Di Luke first saw Paimon and Kong, and then slightly lowered his head to look at Keli.
Paimon asked in a rare cautious tone, "Master Diluc, did you buy those ancient wild boars?" Even though he was sure that it was Diluc in his heart, he was worried about admitting his mistake.
"It's me, you guys are really well-informed." The second half of his sentence meant something.
"You think it was Kaya who told us?" Kong pointed out sharply.
Diluque, who was seen through, did not speak, Sora took it as his acquiescence.
Paimon noticed Di Luke's downcast face, and swallowed the sentence that you really don't know whether your relationship is good or bad, and then said, "The second young master of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce told us that it has nothing to do with Kaiya, We separated from Kaia after dinner."
Diluque, who had nothing to say, deliberately ignored Paimon's excuse, and asked, "Then you came here for wild boar?"
"We want to go with you to meet the buyer who claims to be able to fulfill his wish."
Kong's answer made Di Luke's expression loose, and he said generously, "I can give you the chance to realize your wish."
"Is it really possible?" Paimon and Keli were stunned that someone would not want the chance to realize their wish.
Diluque didn't answer any more. If he were someone else, he would say that wishes can only be realized by himself, but to Keli and Pamon, he still thinks it's better for children to keep some fantasy.
It happened that the vendor delivered the packaged ancient wild boar to Di Luke.
"The meat of 60 Mora, you take it." The merchant smiled all over his face, this is a big deal!He rarely sees such a generous foreigner. .
When Paimon heard this number, he immediately counted with his fingers, and 60 moras was enough to feed her for two months.
Master Diluc is really rich.Envious, Paimon decided that her wish was to become as rich as Lord Diluc.
Casually holding the box containing the meat in his hand, Di Luke said, "Let's go."
"Don't you need to inspect the goods?!" Paimon appeared to remind him that this was meat worth 60 Mora!What if you get scammed!
"I checked it before you came, it's that kind of ancient wild boar." Di Luke, who was walking in front, didn't care.
Kong couldn't stand it anymore, he lowered his voice and said to Paimon, "Master Diluc probably ate it before." That's why he could tell the difference at a glance.
Now Paimon shut up, she only has envy in her heart, and also wants to taste the meat worth 60 Mora.
Although Ke Li, who followed Di Luke, had no idea about the price of 60 Mora, she could tell that the ancient wild boar was delicious.
Licking her lips, Keli felt hungry again.
Walking on the street, Paimon found that there were far fewer people on the street than usual.
"Is there a store open over there? Let's go and have a look." The floating Paimon suggested to the sky, she saw many ceramic dolls of the Rock King Dijun, they were cute and naive, and she wanted to buy them.
But before they reached the shop selling ceramic dolls, they were attracted by the fragrance coming from the Manmin Hall.
Pymon gulped, and her stomach began to growl.
"Why don't we go to Wanmintang to eat first?" Paimeng encouraged Kong, "Maybe we can meet Xiangling!"
As she said, her saliva became more secreted. The sweet and delicious taste of the candied chestnuts made by Xiangling last time was still fresh in Paimeng's memory. She began to look forward to what she could eat this time, whether it was boiled fish or fresh dim sum?
Kong nodded, and Paimeng, who got the agreement, immediately flew to Wanmintang, only to see Xiang Ling and Master Mao chopping and frying vegetables, so busy that they didn't care about the guests.
Paimon didn't bother them, but looked around, and said to Kong who was chasing up, "The crispy rice is not here."
As the last spoonful of hot oil was splashed on the fish, Xiangling finally noticed someone coming amidst the stinging sound.
"It's a traveler!" Putting the newly cooked dishes on the plate, Xiangling put down the spatula and said to Kong and Paimeng, "Sorry, I'm too busy today, and a big order came suddenly."
Speaking of which, Xiangling sighed, "I thought no one would order food on this kind of day." She originally wanted to take advantage of the rain and go to the mountains to pick new bamboo shoots, but the plan was all in vain.
"Didn't Guoba come to help?" Paimon asked curiously. This is really strange. You must know that Guoba almost never leaves Xiangling, just like she never leaves Traveler.
"When I was cooking, I wanted to ask Guoba to watch the fire, but when the fire was lit, I realized that it disappeared early this morning. Fortunately, it took away the sauced meat I made earlier, otherwise I was really afraid that he would be hungry." While recalling, Xiangling invited travelers to try the dishes, "Would you like to try my sauced meat? I use a new brine recipe."
Kongzai said with expectant eyes in Xiangling's eyes, "Okay."
"Okay, it's been a long time since I ate dishes made by Xiangling!" Paimon kicked his legs happily.
"Food is more delicious if it is shared together. Wait a minute and I'll get it for you." Xiangling was also happy that her dishes were liked by her friends.
The sauced meat was served on a white porcelain plate, and the rich brown sauce was sprinkled on it. The strong aroma attracted the stars in Paimon's eyes to merge into one.
Xiangling pushed the plate in front of the traveler and Paimon, "Eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it gets cold."
"Thank you." Sora politely said to Xiangling.
"It's okay, you guys eat first and I'll continue cooking, and tell me if it's not enough." If it wasn't too busy today, she would also like to let Traveler and Paimon try her new candied ice slime.
After eating the sauced meat, Pai Meng felt his stomach and burped, at this time Xiang Ling finally finished all the dishes on the order.
Just when she was packing and asking the errand guy to deliver it, she unexpectedly found that no one was willing to take the order.
"Is it too far away?" Master Mao asked the third guy who refused to deliver the food.
The man waved his hand and replied, "Master Mao, it's not that I don't want to give it away, it's just that this place doesn't look like a place where people live."
"Where is it?" Paimon, who was full of food and drink, pulled Kong to look at it.
The guy directly handed the scented note to Kong, "Look, little brother, does the address written on it look like someone lives?"
Kong took the note, only to see that it said, return to Liji, in the center of Luhuachi.
"This address...couldn't be the dishes ordered by the immortals?" Paimeng muttered to Kong in a low voice, "But don't the immortals respect the emperor? How could they order so many dishes today?"
Paimeng looked at the errand boy who was still bargaining with Master Mao, and thought of helping Xiangling deliver the food, "Why don't we deliver? I feel a little embarrassed after eating so much sauced meat in Xiangling." Then she scratched Scratching his head, he let out a hey laugh.
Staring at Paimon for a while, Sora silently chose the former between Paimon's embarrassment and goodness.
Hearing Kong's answer, Paimon yelled with his hands on his hips, "What do you mean I'd be embarrassed too?" She would finish eating every time, well, never wasting the food Xiangling carefully cooked.
"Let me do it." Ignoring Paimon who was stomping his feet, Kong took the address, "We've been there before."
"Really, little brother?!" The errand boy heaved a sigh of relief.
Paimon then affirmed, "We helped a painter find brushes and paints in Luhuachi, and we are familiar with it." Although they had a hard time finding that brush, and it was in front of them several times, they didn't see it.
"That's really great." Xiang Ling, who was embarrassed by the fact that no one delivered the food, felt relieved, "If it's a traveler, it will definitely be delivered."
Kong and Paimeng got the wooden box containing the dishes and the logo of Manmintang, and began to deliver the dishes according to the simple map drawn on the paper.
At this time, the rain outside had stopped, and many children came out to play in the water.
"The immortal who ordered the dishes, does he know that Zhongli is the emperor?" Paimeng said to Kong while walking, "If you don't know, maybe these dishes will be a tribute to the emperor."
"If that's the case, wouldn't it be embarrassing for her to meet Zhongli again in the future?"
Chatting and chatting, Paimeng and Kong left Liyue Port, walked past Tianheng Mountain, and what they saw was the endless plain.
Paimon stood at the intersection and pointed to the west, "Luhuachi should be in that direction."
Not far from where she pointed, several Qiuqiu people suddenly appeared, and they were rushing towards the carriage carrying goods on the path.
"No, it's from Qiuqiu!" Paimon exclaimed, before she finished speaking, Kong went to save her.
The Qiuqiu people who robbed the truck found Kong, and they didn't care about the cargo. Some started digging slimes from the ground, while others raised guns and shot arrows with elemental power into the air.
Avoiding the flying slimes and bows and arrows, Kong used the force of the wind element to directly blow the Chuqiu people aside to prevent the driver on the truck from being hurt, but Kong didn't notice that behind him, there was a man holding a burning stick The Qiuqiu people were fighting in his direction.
"Be careful."
A gust of wind blew by, and the Qiuqiu people behind Kong flew straight to three meters away.
A young man with golden eyes and dark blue hair descended from the sky. Together with Sora, he quickly dealt with the monsters that robbed the caravan.
"It's Mandrill!" Paimon was surprised when she saw who the person who came to help was, she didn't expect to meet this young fairy.
"Are you all right?" Mandrill looked at Kong, as if to confirm whether he was injured.
Kong shook his head, these Qiuqiu people still couldn't hurt him.
"It's fine." After finishing speaking, Mandrill continued to ask, "Why did you appear here?"
This time Paimon answered first, "We are here to deliver food." After speaking, he felt strange, since the nearest restaurant to Luhua Lake was Wangshu Inn, why would this fairy go far away to place an order for Wanmintang.
Could it be that the other party, like Kaiya, ordered all the dishes in all places?
"Dish?" Mandrill frowned. For ordinary people, Guiliyuan almost belonged to the wilderness. Who would order food in such a place.
"Why don't we show Mandrill the note with the address on it, maybe he knows the fairy who ordered the food." Paimeng suggested in a low voice, she felt that if Mandrill really knew the exact address of the fairy, he could still help him. They give directions so they don't have to fumble around.
Kong thought that what Paimon said was reasonable, and took out a note from the interspatial bag to Mandrill, asking him if he knew the address on it.
As soon as Mandrill saw the words Luhuachi, he understood, "So it's here, I'll lead you there."
"Great!" Paimon, who planned to pass, was very happy.
Under the guidance of Mandrill, Kong and Paimeng came to Luhuachi, and the scenery like splashed ink landscape came into view. The clear pool was like jade, and the clear water reflected the clouds. Even though he had seen it many times, Paimeng still couldn't help but admire it.
Looking at the lake, Mandrill stopped.
"Well, here we are." He didn't look ready to move any further.
"Drill doesn't need to go together?" Paimon asked.
Shaking his head, Mandrill said, "I still have things to do."
Originally Mandrill was on Paimeng's list of not to be messed with, seeing that he didn't want to go, she didn't dare to ask any more questions, she just urged Kong to deliver the food as soon as possible, and imitated Xiang Ling's saying that the food doesn't taste good when it's cold up.
When he came to the edge of Luhua Pool, Paimon remembered that the note didn't seem to mention how to get to the middle of the water.
"Are we going to swim there?"
When Paimon was at a loss, the Liuli Lily that bloomed by the water suddenly spoke.
"Are you two here to deliver food?"
Paimon was taken aback by the gentle voice, "The flowers are talking?!"
"Yes, we have accepted the commission of Wanmintang to deliver food." Sora's reaction was very calm.
After a few minutes, the water surged, and a big golden fish poked its head out of the water.
"You two just hand over the lunch box to it." Liuli Lily made a voice again.
Paimon looked at the docile big fish and asked, "Is there no reward?" They walked for a long time before delivering the food.
Knowing that this kind of order has to be paid in advance, Kong told Paimon, "The reward may already be included in the meal fee."
"It's true that I have already paid for it, but I feel sorry for letting you go so far."
"Why don't I give you the glazed lily by the water."
Sora also understood that it was unreasonable to ask for money, so he accepted the suggestion. Anyway, he never thought about asking for a reward from the beginning.
After picking a few glazed lilies, Kong and Paimon returned to Liyue Harbor.
When approaching Liyue Harbor, Paimon was still looking at the glazed lilies growing by the water, and she suddenly found that they looked different from other glazed lilies.
"Did I admit it wrong?" Paimon muttered to herself, she stared at the flower, ready to take a closer look, but accidentally bumped into someone.
"I'm sorry... hey? Is it Master Di Luke and Kaiya?!"
One day, Paimon was a little frightened when she saw two people who were on the list of people who couldn't be provoked. She opened her eyes wide and didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, the silence was quickly broken.
"Brother Honor Knight and little Paimon, how are you?" Keli bouncing around trying to attract Paimon's and Kong's attention.
"Yo, honorary knight, I didn't expect to meet you here." Kaiya said with a smile after changing into a normal suit.
Diluc also nodded out of courtesy, as a greeting.
"Are you here to pay homage to the Emperor of the Rock?" Paimon didn't expect to meet Mond's big wine merchant, members of the West Wind Knights, and the spark knight Xiao Keli in Liyue.
Kaiya nodded helplessly, "Well, the acting captain asked me to attend the mourning party as the West Wind Knights." Having said that, this trip to Liyue is more like a vacation for Kaya, according to Seven Stars According to the saying, Liyue is not going to pay homage to the Emperor Yan Wang with great fanfare.
"As for Keli..." Kaya looked at Keli, "Let her speak for herself."
Hearing what Kaya said, Keli lowered her head and didn't dare to look at the traveler. The beep on her bag swayed regularly, which usually meant that she was in trouble.
"Ke Li fried the fish in the fruit wine lake, afraid of being discovered by Captain Qin, she secretly ran out with Brother Kaiya."
"If you sneak out, Captain Qin will definitely be even angrier." Paimon understands that Keli doesn't want to be locked up, but she can't escape her mistakes.
At this moment, Kaiya continued, "When we go back tomorrow, the acting captain should not be angry."
"Really? Brother Kaiya!" Kaya's words still made Keli very happy in an instant.
"of course."
Although the confinement room is still indispensable.Kaiya didn't tell Keli about this cruel reality. He changed the subject and deliberately told Kong and Paimon, "As for Master Diluc, the purpose of my trip is the same."
With a snort, Di Luke retorted, "I'm here on behalf of the Mond Chamber of Commerce, and I have nothing to do with the Knights." He didn't want others to misunderstand that he was with the Knights.
Paimon didn't know what to say when he heard this, and in the end he just spread his hands, "It's still the same."
"Speaking of which, honorary knights, why are you here again? Is it a mission?" Kaiya asked calmly, as if this was just an ordinary question.
Kong had nothing to hide, he talked about the day's events, and when he talked about Manmintang and sauced pork, he heard a cooing sound.
"It's not Keli's stomach that's growling, it's Duduke." The young Keli still doesn't know what it means to not call herself.
Seeing that everyone, including the strange adult, was looking at her, Keli, who couldn't bear the pressure of the eyes, held her stomach and confessed in a low voice, "It's not Duduke, but Keli is hungry." From morning until now, she only eats A slice of fisherman's toast.
"Why don't you take Keli to Wanmin Tang for dinner? I don't know if Xiangling is still here." Paimon suggested, just so she could eat along with her.
"I won't go." Seeing that Liyue Harbor was in front of him, Di Luke simply left. He had other things to do.
Sora offered Diluc, who was in a hurry to leave, an invitation to eat, but was rejected.
Watching Di Luke walk into Liyue Port alone, Kaiya said to Kong as if comforting, "He is like this, don't worry about him."
Then Kaiya, who seemed to be inadvertent, changed the subject, "I didn't expect to meet Master Di Luke on the road."
Paimon groaned, and followed Kaiya's words, "What's unexpected?" Didn't Master Diluc come to mourn the rock king on behalf of the Mond Chamber of Commerce?
"Probably because he is a busy man. I thought I would go with Eze. It's a pity. I haven't seen him for a long time."
Keli blinked her eyes and couldn't understand, she just felt more and more hungry.
After walking for a long time, the group finally came to Wanmin Hall.
Xiangling was still working inside, she warmly received Keli, and made a donut-shaped fried egg with special sauced meat for Keli.
As for Kaiya, he ordered the boiled fish from Manmintang, and claimed that he had heard of this famous dish of Liyue, but had never had the chance to try it, so he just came to try it this time.
"Kaya really knows how to choose, this is Xiangling's specialty." Paimeng couldn't help but said to Kong while waiting for the dishes to be served.
Paimon always thought Kaia was lying, but she had no proof.
Xiangling quickly served the boiled fish, and then Paimon saw Kaia skillfully started to eat with chopsticks.
"Now I've caught the handle." Paimon, who didn't care about eating the boiled fish, put his hands on his hips, "Kaya knows how to use chopsticks, so she must have eaten in Liyue."
"Brother Kaiya has been to Liyue?" While speaking, the meat that Keli managed to catch fell from the chopsticks.
Seeing this, Xiangling thoughtfully took out a spoon and handed it to Keli.
"Thank you, Sister Chef!" Keli was finally able to eat without restriction.
"I've been spotted, I've been to Liyue." Kaiya on the other side didn't hide it, "But I really haven't eaten boiled fish in Wanmintang." He is telling the truth, every time he comes Liyue is busy with work, so she doesn't have much time to hang out, let alone taste delicious food.
It was rare to win a round, Pai Meng smiled triumphantly, she also started to eat the boiled fish after humming twice, and felt that the taste of today's dish was better than before.
Xiangling, who was basically busy, brought a simple cold dish seasoned with vinegar and sesame oil, "I will add some cucumbers to you, so that you will not get tired of eating." The table was full of big fish and meat. As a chef, Xiangling I think there should be some light seasoning.
"Speaking of which, there is a strange thing today." The reason why Xiang Ling, who was idle, said the strange thing was that she thought the traveler could solve it.
"What's weird?" Kaia seemed very concerned.
"Someone bought wild pork at a high price." After talking, Xiangling thought for a while and added, "It's not ordinary wild pork, but the extinct wild pork that was eaten in Mond. The person who bought it said that it can be exchanged for a wish."
Everyone present was stunned, and Kaiya's face changed slightly.
"Wish? It's really a strange reward." Putting down his chopsticks, Paimon was very interested in this entrustment. After all, fulfilling a wish sounds very tempting.
"If I make a wish for a lot of Mora, can it be fulfilled?" In order to let the traveler take over the task, Paimon has learned to detour, "Why don't we accept this commission? Last time in the snow mountain I saw Lots of frozen boars."
Ke Li chimed in, "Brother Abedo also told me that there are frozen wild boars in the snow mountains." If you go to the snow mountains, you can use bouncing bombs to fry wild boars, which is more fun than frying fish!
Since even Keli said that, Sora couldn't refuse.
"It's too late to go to Snow Mountain. The person who issued the commission will be there tonight." Xiangling reminded.
Paimon still refused to give up, "Why don't we go to other places with ice? Maybe we can catch up."
"Yes, brother honorary knight, let's go find wild boar." Keli pleaded, she really wanted to fry wild boar.
"Yeah." With Keli's assistance, Paimon became more confident, "So Kaia, do you know where there are frozen wild boars?"
Kaia blinked her eyes that were not covered by the blindfold, as if she didn't understand why Paimon asked him this question.
Just when everyone thought that even Kaiya didn't know about it, he coughed twice, and said solemnly, "I heard that there is a cave made of ice between the clouds, you can go there and look for it."
Xiang Ling, who often wanders in the mountains in search of food, fell into thinking because of Kaiya's words, why she hadn't found a cave made of ice in the cloud.
"Brother Kaiya is amazing! He knows everything!" Keli didn't doubt Kaiya at all.
She made a pleading gesture, "Claire has finished eating, Brother Honor Knight and little Paimon, let's go!"
"Ke Li will follow you first, I'm going to see Liyue Qixing later, it's not convenient to take her with me." Kaiya smiled and left the work of taking care of Ke Li to the traveler.
Sora was a little helpless, but he didn't refuse, Keli happily clapped hands with Paimon.
Leading Keli, Kong went to the sea of clouds first, and Kaiya excused that he was not full to pack a goby and did not go with them.
However, the road to End Cloud was much farther than Paimon expected, and Keli started to feel sleepy after less than a quarter of the way.
In addition, it was getting hotter and hotter in the afternoon, and the sun was getting bigger and bigger. He had no choice but to let Keli sleep on his back and lead Paimon back the same way. He didn't care about the ancient wild boar meat at all.
Finally walking back to Liyue Port, Paimeng, who had returned in vain, was too tired to fly.
"Is it a traveler?" So Kong, who was wandering on the street hesitating where to go next, was called out, and he turned his head to see Xing Qiu and Chong Yun, who was eating popsicles.
"It's a popsicle." Paimon still couldn't help drooling, she wanted to eat it too.
Chongyun was very generous. He took out new popsicles and distributed them to Paimon, and asked, "Have you gone to the mountains?"
"How did you find out?" Paimon, who was gnawing on a popsicle, revealed their whereabouts somehow.
"You have leaves stuck to your feet." Chongyun pointed to Keli's shoes. Because of the rain in the morning, a lot of mud and leaves stuck to the soles of her shoes.
Paimeng admitted feebly, and told Xingqiu and Chongyun about his failed experience of going to Jueyunjian to find frozen wild pork.
Hearing the story of dying before leaving school, Xingqiu laughed loudly, while Chongyun was thinking, Taishan Mansion is full of elemental power in the sea of clouds, but it is full of fire elemental power, without any ice elemental power ah.
"I know where you can find the ancient boar meat you are looking for." Xing Qiu didn't expose Kaiya's lie after all. He believed that the knight probably lied deliberately because he didn't want the traveler and the little girl to go to the snow mountain. .
"Really?!" Paimeng had no doubts about him, she knew that Xingqiu was the young master of a rich family, and it was normal to have a way to buy ancient wild boar.
This kind of rich person will definitely not lie to her, right?
Xingqiu responded, "Of course, why don't you go to my hotel for a rest first, and after Chongyun and I finish our work, I'll take you to find that vendor."
The same tired Kong couldn't refuse Xingqiu's opinion, he took Keli with the token from Xingqiu to the hotel to snag a room for free.
Pushing open the door of the guest room, Paimon threw himself on the soft bed and fell asleep.
Kong yawned involuntarily after settling Keli down. He also wanted to sleep. He walked too much today and was a little tired.
This sleep went straight until the sun went down, and Kong didn't wake up until Xingqiu knocked on the door of the guest room.
Rubbing his eyes, Kong opened the door and saw Xingqiu's embarrassed expression.
"I just learned from my buddy that a rich businessman from out of town bought all the ancient pork." Xingqiu went back to get the news that surprised him. You must know that those wild pork are very valuable and you can buy them all. It can be seen that the businessman has strong financial resources.
Paimeng and Kong, who also flew over after waking up, glanced at each other, and it was hard not to associate the two key words of out-of-town and wealthy businessman.
So Sora asked, "Is it red hair?"
Recalling the guy's description of the rich businessman, Xingqiu nodded, "It's red-haired, and he's from Mond."
"Master Diluc."
"It's a strange adult!"
Paimon's and Keli's voices sounded at the same time, only then did Space-Time realize that Keli also woke up.
"Let's ask Master Di Luke, maybe he is willing to take us to meet the acquirer who can fulfill our wish." Paimon immediately decided to go whoring for nothing.
With Master Diluque around, no one would be able to buy those wild boar meat unless Ning Guang wanted to buy it.
Paimon seemed to see the scene where Di Luke and Ning Guang bid for the ancient boar meat, and she couldn't help sighing, it's nice to have money.
"Then you guys go, I won't follow." Xing Qiu still hadn't finished reading the book.
Chongyun took him to practice in the afternoon, although in the end he turned into Chongyun to practice and he read novels beside him.
However, when Xingqiu saw the most exciting moment of that book, Chongyun took the book away and reminded him not to forget to take the travelers to buy wild pork.
"It's okay." Sora didn't mind.
According to the address given by Xingqiu, they quickly found the store and happened to meet Di Luke who came to pick up the goods.
"It's you?" Di Luke first saw Paimon and Kong, and then slightly lowered his head to look at Keli.
Paimon asked in a rare cautious tone, "Master Diluc, did you buy those ancient wild boars?" Even though he was sure that it was Diluc in his heart, he was worried about admitting his mistake.
"It's me, you guys are really well-informed." The second half of his sentence meant something.
"You think it was Kaya who told us?" Kong pointed out sharply.
Diluque, who was seen through, did not speak, Sora took it as his acquiescence.
Paimon noticed Di Luke's downcast face, and swallowed the sentence that you really don't know whether your relationship is good or bad, and then said, "The second young master of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce told us that it has nothing to do with Kaiya, We separated from Kaia after dinner."
Diluque, who had nothing to say, deliberately ignored Paimon's excuse, and asked, "Then you came here for wild boar?"
"We want to go with you to meet the buyer who claims to be able to fulfill his wish."
Kong's answer made Di Luke's expression loose, and he said generously, "I can give you the chance to realize your wish."
"Is it really possible?" Paimon and Keli were stunned that someone would not want the chance to realize their wish.
Diluque didn't answer any more. If he were someone else, he would say that wishes can only be realized by himself, but to Keli and Pamon, he still thinks it's better for children to keep some fantasy.
It happened that the vendor delivered the packaged ancient wild boar to Di Luke.
"The meat of 60 Mora, you take it." The merchant smiled all over his face, this is a big deal!He rarely sees such a generous foreigner. .
When Paimon heard this number, he immediately counted with his fingers, and 60 moras was enough to feed her for two months.
Master Diluc is really rich.Envious, Paimon decided that her wish was to become as rich as Lord Diluc.
Casually holding the box containing the meat in his hand, Di Luke said, "Let's go."
"Don't you need to inspect the goods?!" Paimon appeared to remind him that this was meat worth 60 Mora!What if you get scammed!
"I checked it before you came, it's that kind of ancient wild boar." Di Luke, who was walking in front, didn't care.
Kong couldn't stand it anymore, he lowered his voice and said to Paimon, "Master Diluc probably ate it before." That's why he could tell the difference at a glance.
Now Paimon shut up, she only has envy in her heart, and also wants to taste the meat worth 60 Mora.
Although Ke Li, who followed Di Luke, had no idea about the price of 60 Mora, she could tell that the ancient wild boar was delicious.
Licking her lips, Keli felt hungry again.
