Chapter 36: The Message Board of the Cattail Tavern
It has been a week since Xingyue agreed to cook for Xiangling last time.
This week, Xingyue cooks all at home.
I didn't go to the Deer Hunter Restaurant for a day.
Since there were free rooms at home, Xiangling lived directly at Xingyue’s house.
Finally, today, Xiangling's injury has almost healed, and she is preparing to go back to Liyue to try to create a new cuisine.
"Thank you Xingyue! If I can create a brand new cuisine, you must not refuse this request!"
“What request?”
“Including yours to the name of the cuisine!”
“Uh…for example?”
"The new cuisine is called Xinglingcai!"
He said goodbye to Xiangling at the gate of Mond City. After watching the girl walk away with enthusiasm, Xingyue wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Ahhhh! I won't cook by myself this month!"
After returning from the gate of Mond, Xingyue took Frost Yue directly to the Cat Tavern. Because Xingyue remembered that when she came to the Cat Tavern on the first day, she seemed to have agreed to Margaret to help look at the message board of the Tavern. However, almost a month has passed and she hasn't seen it once... let alone reply.
"Little cutie, why did you come so early today?" Before noon, as soon as you entered the tavern, Xingyue saw Margaret sitting lazy in a familiar position, "Little Diona will come in the afternoon~"
"Uh..." Xingyue touched her head a little embarrassedly, "Last time I seemed to say I wanted to help me see the message board in the tavern, but I forgot to read it."
"Oh, it seems like this is the case." Margaret took a sip of tea and was extremely comfortable. "You go to the storage room on the second floor of the tavern. It seems that it has been put there since the last time. During this period, guests asked why the message board was gone."
"I'm really sorry!" Xingyue put his hands on her chest and apologized, "I'll get it now."
Looking at Xingyue who was running away in the panic, Margaret smiled and said to Frost Yue who was flying around in the tavern: "Are you going to have a drink for a little floating object?"
"I'm not a little floating object!" Frost moon flew over with angrily, "If you drink milk, you can!"
"No." Margaret took out a bottle of milk from under the counter and handed it to Frost Yue, "Are you interested in being a promotional officer in the Cat Tail Tavern?"
"Hey? What do the propagandist need to do? Are you paid?" Shuangyue struggled to open the lid of the milk and took a small sip.
"Yes~" Margaret smiled mysteriously, "As for work content, it's just a mascot~"
"Mascot?!" Shuangyue widened her eyes, and the milk at the corner of her mouth seemed to be dripping.
"Hahaha, just kidding." Margaret said with a smile, "Look, the little cutie is here."
Xingyue, who walked downstairs with a large message board in her arms, gasped heavily and moved the message board to the counter with great effort.
"Is that just that? Mrs. Margaret?"
"Yeah, that's right." Margaret put down the cup in her hand. "The messages on this should have been replied. You can check out how they responded. You will write the reply in the future~"
"Okay!" Xingyue nodded.
"Then I'll go out for a shopping first, and I'll leave the tavern to you~" Margaret stood up elegantly from her seat, patted her skirt, and slowly walked out of the tavern.
"Mrs. Margaret is always so leisurely." Xingyue sighed, "It's a bit like Lisa's temperament."
"Look at the message board!" Shuangyue patted Xingyue's shoulder, "This is also your future job~"
"Oh, okay." Xingyue stood up the message board and watched the notes on the message board carefully with Shuangyue.
"It's a really interesting place to be in Mond for the first time. It's different from the Sumeru and Liyue I've been to before... How to say it, the atmosphere here is calm and relaxed, slow and comfortable."
"I went to the Thousand Wind Temple in the east some time ago. I heard that this was a place to worship the wind a long time ago. It was very grand. It is hard to imagine how ancient people built such a magnificent building."
"But there is a huge ruin guard in it, which is really terrible. At first I thought it was an abandoned ancient mechanism, but when I approached, I stood up and attacked me. I ran away quickly."
"It will hurt people, among the precious relics, there is such a monster that launches missiles, which is not good for the ancient monuments, right? In any case, if you want to visit the Thousand Wind Temple, be careful."
"Hey, Xingyue, if it were you, how would you reply to this message?" Frost moon floated in the air and asked Xingyue.
"Well, if it were me..." Xingyue pinched her chin and thought, "I should reply: 'It seems you are lucky and I wish you a smooth journey in the future.' Similar to this?"
"Let's see how the clerk responded before." Shuangyue pointed to the message board and continued to look at the note behind.
"Cat Tail's response:
It’s great to be able to like our city. If you are willing to take the time to visit, Cat Tail will definitely make a good drink to clear the bad luck of encountering dangers."
"I can't say where it's good. Anyway, I just feel that the reply is pretty good." Xingyue squatted on the ground and slightly straightened the slightly tilted message board.
"Then let's look at a few more!" Shuangyue suggested.
"good."
"Even I, I will occasionally think of my leisurely life before. Whether it is the warmth, friendship, or my father, everything at that time was so beautiful. But I can no longer go back to the past."
"For the sake of the future, you cannot indulge in beautiful dreams. Or, in order to give people the extra money to indulge in beautiful dreams, someone must wake up and face the darkness before dawn."
"Some things, even though I understand rationally, must be given up, I still miss them emotionally. It's really annoying."
"I wish you a prosperous business in your store. The competition in the wine industry is very fierce."
"Cat Tail's response:
Life is like wine, which requires refining and deterioration to mature.
But the door to cattails is always open to everyone, even to competitors. No one can go back to the past, but anyone can go back to cattails and let go of their worries and sorrows for the time being."
"This message sounds...it's very just." Xingyue finished reading this message and said slowly, "The reply was very appropriate. I really want to know how to reply."
"Then read a few more?"
"good."
After reading it for another half an hour, the Star Moon and Frost Moon read about a dozen messages.
"I understand! I know how to reply!" After reading a message, Xingyue clapped her hands like a sudden realization.
"Do you really understand?" Shuangyue looked at Xingyue with suspicious eyes.
"If you don't believe it, look at this one." Xingyue pointed to a message on the message board.
"Since about a few months ago, hair loss became very serious. Because there was no mirror at home, I didn't notice it.
"Because there are cats and dogs at home, I always thought it was animals shedding hair until..."
"Once, when the wind blew, I felt the top of my head was cold. Only then did I realize that when my junior talked to me, I didn't want to look directly at me. Is it because of this?"
"I've been over the age of caring about appearance. But why did it bother me so much... It would be great if there was a way to cure hair loss."
"I will reply like this." Xingyue stood up confidently, "I'm sorry, we don't have a treatment for hair loss. However, there are many ways to temporarily forget troubles. It's also a good thing to occasionally visit the cat's tail and drink a glass of magic medicine to forget troubles!"
"Wow! It sounds like the one I replied before!" Shuangyue said in surprise.
"Hmph, I have mastered the essence of reply." Xingyue sat on the chair, and her smile gradually became exaggerated. "First reply to the message note, then change the subject, and introduce it to the recommendation to come to Maowei to drink..."
"Xingyue, you look like someone now." Shuangyue floated to the bar and sat down.
"Who?"
“Kaiya.”
"ah?"
