Chapter 308: Teyvat Double Material High-level Foodie
Under the leadership of Zhongli, several people left the rocky tidal flat and returned to the broad trade road.
After a stick of incense, a large expanse of dark gold came into view, the stream meandered among the tangled trees, and at the end of the ancient wooden bridge stood the Wangshu Inn, which looked peaceful and simple on the outside, but was actually a crouching tiger, hidden dragon.<
/p>
In ancient times, Dihua Island was often hit by floods. In order to avoid floods, people built their homes on huge rocks and prayed to the Rock King, hoping to use the rocks to calm the water and avoid disasters.
However, as the junction of Mondstadt and Liyuede, the dandelions blowing from the opposite side of the stone gate often fall into the water of Dihuazhou.
According to the theory that where the dandelions fall is the climate, countless bards from Mondstadt would stop at the Wangshu Inn and play foreign songs that did not belong to Liyue in exchange for wine money.
Taking into account the needs for food, accommodation and material reserves, Wangshu Inn suspended the escalators at the beginning of its construction to expand the size of the living area as much as possible, and the kitchen was arranged on the lower floor of the inn.
Passengers who enter the inn from the front desk can see the bustling kitchen directly below. If you go directly from the front desk to the second floor, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Dihua Island.
The platform below the inn is a place for porters and traveling businessmen to rest. There are simple tables, chairs and tea on the platform for guests to enjoy. The large-scale waterwheel elevator is a special building that facilitates guests and goods to go up and down the stairs. p>
Even the Rock King, who is beyond the reach of mortals, has visited here many times during his leisurely travels in the world.
Wangshu Inn is even more lively at night. Under the nine-curved hanging ladder built around the huge stone, there are porters drinking and fisting, Liyue poets admiring the night view, merchants negotiating business, and adventurers staying briefly...<
/p>
The waiting room where food is served and drinks is busy. Simple but elegant green plants are placed on the wooden platform. Lanterns glowing with orange-red flames are hung high, illuminating the wooden sheds surrounding the inn.
Wine jar.
As soon as Zhongli stepped onto the wooden ladder of the platform, he was warmly greeted by a clerk wearing an apron.
"Four distinguished guests, do you want to eat or stay overnight?"
"Eat first, then rest at the inn for one night."
Facing the smiling clerk, Zhongli nodded with ease and led the three of them to sit down at the table with the best view.
"Four bowls of lotus seed and poultry egg custard, one plate of stir-fried meat slices, one example of immortal jumping over the wall...one portion each of almond tofu, three-thread braised noodles, and a jade assorted bag."
Before the waitress at the inn handed over the menu, Zhongli ordered several special dishes that only connoisseurs would know.
Although I have given myself the status of a mortal, I still have to pay attention to the things that should be paid attention to.
Zhong Li's usual place is Liuli Pavilion, but Wangshu Inn, which stands on the water, is famous for its river and seafood dishes.
The range of choices is a little smaller, but after all, the chef’s skills are there, and the other dishes will not be too bad, I can only feel a little aggrieved.
Famas saw that the other tables were all filled with fish, shrimps, crabs and shellfish, but Zhongli ordered a few mountain delicacies, and a bold idea gradually emerged in his mind.
"Can you show me the menu?"
Famas smiled evilly and took the menu from the waiter, and without hesitation started searching for food containing fish and shrimp.
In Liyue, for banquets, the host usually takes the order and the guests respond politely.
Facing Famas's anti-customer behavior, which was rare in Liyue, Zhongli could only pretend that he didn't know him, and helplessly turned his gaze to the indigo lake in the distance.
It’s all about accounting anyway, and Dadalia had even paid him the guide fee before, so it didn’t matter even if he ordered the most expensive dish.
Under the curious gazes of Ying and Paimon, Famas pointed to the names of the dishes on the menu and asked about several signature seafood dishes in a serious manner, making Zhongli's hand holding the chopsticks clenched unconsciously.
During the Demon God War, some monsters from the deep sea with soft skin and dexterous arms and legs left a deep impression on Zhongli. Especially these monsters parasitized in the homes of Liyue residents and could survive even if their limbs were cut off.
Will spit out sticky and wet liquid.
Driven by the prayers and sense of responsibility of the ancestors of Liyue, Zhongli, the Emperor of the Rock King, promised them to destroy this monster.
But when the long extermination battle ended, he understood the meaning of the word "relieved." The extremely troublesome extermination and the disgusting-smelling slime of the aquatic monsters left a deep impression on him. The incarnation of Zhongli appeared in the form of a mortal.
, even if I live in a port city, I still stay away from all living and squirming aquatic products.
Famas obviously knew about this and would not give up this opportunity to cause trouble for Zhongli.
The boy in red holding the menu deliberately announced the name of the dish loudly.
Every time the boy's voice sounded, Zhongli's back straightened up, and he finally pursed his lips.
"Don't want any of these."
"Just have a few jars of Chenxi Winery's dandelion wine."
Seeing Zhongli's nervous look, Farmas protracted his tone with joy, and finally shook his head.
All joking aside, he wouldn't go out of his way to embarrass Zhongli who doesn't eat seafood, just scare him.
Famas handed the menu to Paimeng, who was lying on the table with eyes open, and said that Liyue had a wide variety of dishes and he was looking forward to it.
Ying sat obediently on the wooden chair, swaying her legs, and turned her head to look at the young man and Zhongli with a smile.
I don’t know why, but as long as Famas is around, she will feel a strange sense of security, whether it’s the warmth when she is a fire slime pillow, or the powerful strength that briefly appears in times of crisis.
Coupled with the knowledgeable Mr. Zhongli and the gluttonous Paimon, although they are wanted, the journey to immortality does not seem to be as difficult as imagined.
If I could find my brother again...
The girl's eyes gradually became empty, until the dishes began to be served one after another, and the tempting aroma floated in the air.
"Everyone from Mondstadt to Liyue must pass through this inn. The owner, Phil Godette, is a shrewd Mondstadt. The food here combines the flavors of Liyue and Mondstadt."<
/p>
Zhongli gently put down his chopsticks, scooped out a small piece of almond tofu with a porcelain spoon, put it into a bowl, and started explaining at the right time.
"Almond tofu is one of Wangshu Inn's signature dishes."
"The desserts made from almonds and milk are soft, smooth, sweet, and exquisite in shape, just like the works of art created by famous craftsmen..."
Before Zhongli could finish introducing the dishes, Paimon couldn't wait to put the dinner plate in front of him.
"Ah wu ah wu..."
Zhongli's voice gradually weakened, and when there was silence, Paimon, who was working hard, raised his head from the table full of food, and stared at a few people with doubtful eyes behind his lips.
"Zhongli, um, why don't you speak?"
"This stir-fried pork slices is neither salty nor bland, and tastes great. It goes well with rice."
"Why are you looking at me? Eat quickly, aren't you hungry?"
Paimon glanced at the three of them strangely, wiped the grease from his mouth with his sleeve, and drank tea.
"Paimon, eat slowly."
Ying lowered her head to look at the oil and soup splashing on the table, and helplessly patted Paimon's little butt, trying to remind her to pay attention to etiquette.
Zhongli tried his best to remain elegant, and stiffly moved the lotus seed and egg custard in front of him, avoiding the eating area where Paimeng was showing his teeth.
"Zhongli said that this dish is very precious, and Comrade...should let Paimon eat it first."
Famas didn't eat a single bite of the food. He pushed his plate in front of Paimon, smiled and motioned for her to eat more, and then drank one glass after another.
Mr. Zhong looked at the three people with different eating habits and picked up the bowl with a headache. After sighing deeply, he swallowed the custard in the bowl.
