Hearing the sudden sound, the shop owner suddenly raised his head in fright, but his eyes met the blue eyes of Dadalia's whale, and he pursed his lips guiltily.
Unlike the overt and spicy wines of Winter Solstice, most Liyue wines require careful tasting in order to appreciate the long-lasting meaning.
However, the fermented glutinous rice dumplings that are worth three bowls in Hong Kong are definitely watered down.
Dadalia tasted it twice and discovered an interesting phenomenon. If the shopkeeper is on duty, then the fermented glutinous rice soup in the rice dumplings will be almost the same as water. If it is the younger waitress, then the glutinous rice soup in the rice dumplings will be almost the same as water.
You can also taste some wine.
Therefore, Dadalia, who had nothing to do, once sent someone to secretly monitor the shop owner who could not get through three bowls of food. As a result, he discovered an interesting conversation between the shopkeeper Degui and the waitress Zhiruo.
As a store clerk, Zhiruo said that customers had a lot of complaints because the wine in "Jiuniang Yuanzi" was too little and it tasted the same as "Baishui Yuanzi".
However, the shopkeeper Degui believes that too much wine should not be put in "Jiuniang Yuanzi" because wine is more expensive than water.
As long as the guests smell the aroma of wine in the bowl, they will spend money to buy it.
If you finish a bowl of fermented glutinous rice balls but can’t taste the wine, ask the guest to buy another bowl.
On one side is an old shopkeeper who cuts corners and just wants to make money; on the other side is a migrant worker who actively accepts customers' suggestions but is always disliked by his boss.
The investigation and surveillance ended here, which also made the young executive who had just arrived have a bad impression of the Liyue businessman.
But what the young master didn't know was that the boss Degui, who cut corners and cut corners, was once an honest businessman who used solid materials. At the beginning of the wine stall's operation, he used three bowls of rice dumplings to make the lookout on the Death Omen star drunk, which indirectly caused
Beidou freight delays.
The unknown wine stall back then got its name from this.
On the surface, Zhiruo is a working-class maid, but secretly she is a popular elder sister of the Guhua sect.
"Hmph... Liyue people."
Dadalia glanced at the timid shopkeeper Degui. In his eyes, even though the Liyue people looked warm and reserved, they still had some treacherous merchants in their hearts due to generations of trade.<
/p>
It’s just that they are not as generous as the people in Winter.
"Pa!"
A bag of mola with the pattern of Northland Bank was thrown on the table by Dadalia.
"Forget it, I'll pay for this gentleman's tea."
Perhaps because the orange-haired young man was too strong, the tightly tied mola bag came loose, and several golden molas fell to the ground, making circles in circles, which made Degui's eyes go straight.
"Two guests, tea, fermented glutinous rice dumplings, and these meals...the total is 740,000 molas. I'll give you a small change, just 700,000!"
Degui gritted his teeth, quickly wrote something in the account book, and then bravely said an amount that almost made Dadalia bite off his tongue.
Although Dada Ya, as a warrior, doesn't like to study accounts, he also knows that 700,000 molas can be converted into food, which is enough for the Northland Bank to feed him for half a month.
Black shop!
Definitely a black shop!
The orange-haired young man's gaze gradually became dangerous, and the shopkeeper's trembling appearance was reflected in his blue eyes.
"No need, your price is very reasonable, no less than 740,000 yuan."
Zhongli said in a deep voice.
Degui, whose vest had begun to sweat, was stunned. After reacting, he suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and grabbed the Mora bag on the table with lightning speed.
"Then thank you sir."
Zhongli seemed to have gotten used to having an automatic teller machine around him. He looked relaxed and had no sense of guilt about letting others pay for him.
"There is one million molas in the bag. We will collect the stall after we leave!"
Waving his hands in disgust, Dadalia drove away the shopkeeper who was about to close the stall, moved a chair, and sat down next to Zhongli.
The young executive looked up at the light yellow lantern hanging on the porch, and the light fell on the shoulders of the man wearing a rock shirt.
Who can resist a smiling Mr. Zhongli sitting under the warm light?
"Don't pretend to be asleep, the money has been paid."
However, Zhongli, who pursed his lips, quickly put away his smile, closed his palms, and lightly rapped the table with his knuckles.
"Really?"
Famas, who was lying beside the table, immediately opened his eyes and stood up straight. There was a special firelight flickering deep in the blood-colored vertical pupils, and he looked at the serious Dadalia beside him with a smile.
"Now that we've paid, let's continue the topic we just talked about."
"I heard that he also had several apprentices, one of whom was awarded the title of Son of Chalk..."
Zhongli has not given up on the clues about the resurrection of the dead, hoping to get the answer he wants from Famas. However, Dadalia, who was left out at the table, couldn't help it.
This was the first time that when I paid for Mr. Zhongli, the other party ignored him and instead chatted with Famas, a dangerous person.
Zhongli was discussing with Famas seriously. The black and yellow tassel earrings kept shaking, dotted with unknown golden rocks. Dadalia turned her head and listened carefully to the conversation between the two.
From a few words, Dadalia gradually deduced that the two were chatting about some kind of knowledge about alchemy.
He has always believed in the law of the jungle that the winner is king, and pursues hearty battles. Naturally, he has no time to spend on leisure activities such as drinking tea and walking birds. However, Zhongli is very keen on elegant things, such as walking expensive thrushes.
, listen to the best shows, and collect the best quality jade. Of course, all of this can be attributed to payment in the end, just pay out of your own pocket.
Anyway, the money approved by the Queen is enough to buy the entire Feiyun Slope property.
But when it comes to alchemy... Putting aside the flawed character of the Dr. Fool, Dadalia's understanding of alchemy is still in her childhood, when her mother was cooking by the fire on a cold winter night in Sea Crumb Town.
stew.
A pot with unrelated food cooked in it.
Dadalia has also seen detailed information about the son of chalk, who seems to be the chief alchemist of the Knights of the West Wind in Mondstadt.
From the cryptic words of the two people who deliberately avoided keywords, Dadalia couldn't find any information that could be inferred, so he could only sit next to him seemingly aggrieved and eavesdrop on the conversation between the two openly.
"Is there really no other way?"
Zhongli lowered his eyes in disappointment.
"No."
Famas stood up, glanced at Dadalia with an unclear meaning, and left gracefully.
The young executive saw Zhongli's distressed look for the first time.
Although Mr. Keqing still has a cold look on his face.
"Mr. Zhongli, if you want to learn some alchemical knowledge, I think the doctor... is the best choice."
Seeing Famas leave, Dadalia relaxed a little, folded his arms and complained to Zhongli, and the sea breeze made his red cloak float in the air.
"This matter is not something that your Excellency needs to worry about."
Zhongli was silent for a while, stood up dignifiedly and gracefully, and walked towards the still busy dock with his hands behind his back.
"Mr. Zhongli..."
Dadalia was stunned when she was thrown down, and subconsciously wanted to stretch out her palm with gray-white gloves.
"The night view of Liyue Port is very beautiful. I wonder if your Excellency, Sir, would you like to take a look and accompany Zhong to the pier for a walk?"
Mr. Zhong returned to his usual distant tone, but the words he spoke made a proud smile appear on Dadalia's lips.
