Carrying the fish, Zhong Mo returned to Wanmin Hall with difficulty. If Grandma Ping hadn't told her that the cave could not be used in front of ordinary people, she would have put these fish into the cave long ago.
When Zhong Mo arrived at Wanmin Hall, she saw that Beidou and Xiangling were already busy. However, Beidou was just using thunder elements to speed up the process of boiling water. Instead, Master Mao was doing the work and Xiangling was cooking.
"Hey, you're back? Xiaomo. Pretty fast."
Zhong Mo handed the fish to Beidou, and Beidou handed it to Master Mao. Then Zhong Mo couldn't help but asked Beidou: "Sister Beidou, why is one fish thirty molara, and three fish one hundred molara?"
After Beidou heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then showed a pensive expression, and spoke to Zhong Mo with serious eyes and a deep tone.
"Xiao Mo, I understand, I'm afraid this is because..."
"Because of what? Sister?"
"You were deceived! Hahaha!"
Seeing Zhong Mo's serious expression ready to hear some important analysis from him, Beidou laughed so hard.
"Ah? Why? But the boss said that rare things are more valuable?"
"Haha, Xiaomo, that guy is indeed right, but to Liyue, this fish is not a rare thing."
"Damn it, how dare you lie to me! That's too much!" Zhong Mo looked angry, his cheeks bulging like a little squirrel.
"Haha, do you understand now? Be careful about everything and don't always believe what others say."
"What are you talking about so happily?" Master Mao walked out of the kitchen, looked at Beidou smiling, and asked curiously.
Seeing Master Mao, Beidou changed the subject and replied: "It's nothing, Master Mao, since you came out, did you say that?"
"It's almost done." Master Mao nodded, "Just wait for Xiangling to do the last step. This girl's kung fu has indeed improved a lot."
Just as he was talking, he heard Xiang Ling's voice coming from inside: "Dad! Get the food box quickly!"
Master Mao picked up the food box that had been prepared on the table and turned around and walked into the kitchen. After a while, Zhong Mo saw Xiang Ling and Master Mao walking out each carrying a box with an exquisite appearance.
Master Mao stepped forward and handed the box in his hand to Beidou, who stretched out his hand to take it.
"How's it going? Sister Beidou, does it look like a gift box? You wouldn't guess that it contains food?"
"Well, good job!" Beidou gave Xiangling a thumbs up.
"Then Dad, shall we leave first?" Xiangling said goodbye to Master Mao.
"Go on, go on." Master Mao waved his hand and returned to the kitchen alone to clean up.
The three of them walked towards the pier, and after a while, they saw the Owl manager wandering on the pier.
Manager Xiao looked at the exquisite gift boxes held in the hands of the three people and said, "It seems you are ready."
Beidou stepped forward and said: "Of course, but there is one last little thing. I would like to ask Manager Xiao to accompany us to Crescent Pavilion."
"Interesting, Xinyue Xuan is actually willing to entertain you, the [Dragon King]? Then I will go with you, right? But let me say it first, I am a regular customer of Xinyue Xuan, so it won't impress me.
"
After saying that, he also glanced at the gift boxes in Beidou and Xiangling's hands.
"Do you want to give gifts? I want to see what gifts you, the Dragon King, have prepared."
Beidou smiled mysteriously: "Just follow us."
The four of them carried the food boxes, got ready, and walked all the way towards Xinyuexuan.
Walking to the entrance of Xinyuexuan, the waiter at the door was just about to come up. Beidou showed her the jade pendant Zhongli gave her. After looking at it, the waiter showed a surprised expression and then stepped back.
All this was also seen by those who were preparing to enter the New Moon Pavilion and those who were about to leave after enjoying the meal.
"I didn't expect that [Dragon King] would actually have dinner with this owl manager. The thing he is holding in his hand should be "filial piety", right? Is the Southern Cross Fleet about to make another big move? It seems that this old man's energy is getting stronger and stronger.
It’s getting bigger.”
Seeing the surprised looks from the people around him, Manager Xiao also felt a hint of joy in his heart.
"I'm afraid what happens here tomorrow will become a topic of discussion at the dinner table of Liyue's upper class, right?"
Beidou turned around and made a gesture of invitation to Manager Xiao: "Please, old man."
Several people came to the private room on the second floor. Xiang Ling and Beidou saw Manager Xiao sitting on the chairs. Beidou said to the waiter outside the room.
"Remember, don't come in and disturb us without our notice, do you understand?"
Beidou saw the waiter nodding in understanding, and then walked into the private room and closed the door. The walls of Xinyuexuan were mixed with floating stones. Although there were not many, they had a very strong sound insulation effect.
As soon as Manager Xiao sat down, he saw Beidou and Xiangling placing gift boxes in front of him.
"It's interesting. When you arrived, you didn't order the food first, but you presented the gift first. Are you so confident in this thing?"
Beidou smiled mysteriously: "Master Xiao, won't you know if you open it and take a look?"
After listening to Beidou's words, Manager Xiao became interested and reached out to open the box. Inside the box were several small boxes that were sealed and kept. He took them out of the big box and placed them on the table, and then carefully picked them up one by one.
Open them all one by one.
The box was half-opened, and the aroma instantly spread out from the box and filled the whole room.
"Haha, it's exactly what I thought. If I heard it right, this must be stir-fried pork slices."
As the box was fully opened, Manager Owl showed an expression that was indeed true.
"Looks like I guessed it right. Let's look at the next one. This one is dry-pot bacon, and this one is grilled tiger fish!"
After smelling the flavors, naming the dishes, and opening the box, Manager Xiao got all of them right.
As he was talking, Manager Xiao suddenly stopped. As a new box was opened, he smelled the smell emanating from it.
"You guys have your heart in mind... If I'm right, this is a light farm dish, right?"
Opening the box, General Manager Xiao took out the Qingce farm food inside. Looking at the last box, General Manager Xiao did not take action.
"With this light peasant dish, I'm afraid this last dish will be a pity. After eating sugar, how can there be any sweetness in eating plums? It's a pity."
But Manager Xiao took action anyway. As the box opened and the aroma came out, he showed a surprised expression for the first time.
"This is?"
He smelled it carefully again.
"It's very familiar, yet strange at the same time. Could it be that I've eaten it before? But why can't I remember it?"
Finally, Manager Xiao couldn't hold back his curiosity and opened the box.
Looking at the Tianshu meat in the box, Manager Xiao thought for a while, but still had no memory.
"It's weird. There are things I haven't eaten in Liyue Port. It seems like this trip was not in vain."
