Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

"Thank you, boss. We are here to look for someone..."

Paimon flew upwards and tried to bypass Boss Zhu's obstruction, but unexpectedly the other party blocked him with a long cooking spoon, and the stupid Paimon almost fell into the spoon that was still covered with soup, becoming a real emergency food.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Little Paimeng stopped in a critical moment and angrily asked Boss Zhu why he did this. Toke also looked curiously at the middle-aged boss of Cuifengting who seemed to be in quite good shape.

"I understand that the customer wants to find someone, but are you really not going to order two side dishes?"

Boss Zhu bent over and smiled apologetically, obviously knowing that his behavior of using a spoon to stop customers was not welcome.

Fortunately, a traveler who arrived later resolved the awkward situation in time. After understanding the whole story, the traveler casually ordered a few famous Liyue dishes.

The commissions she received these days were not in vain, as she had hundreds of thousands of Mora in her pocket.

"Great! No problem, please take a seat!"

Hearing the customers' orders, Boss Zhu happily returned to the kitchen and continued cooking for everyone.

After some generous donations, the three finally came to Famas, who was pouring wine into his mouth, and Wendy, who was sipping lotus cakes.

"Long time no see, guys. I'm surprised to see you in such a remote place."

Famas put down his glass and stood up to greet him. He didn't look drunk at all, as if what he drank was not Liyue's strong liquor, but ordinary water.

Wendy swallowed the last bite of lotus cake, wiped the residue from the corner of her mouth, blinked her eyes that were as green as spring leaves, and smiled as she invited everyone to sit down:
"Ah! I can see you here. This must be the will of Lord Barbatos."

No matter what words are spoken by the poet, they are like the melodious tune of a harp, which makes people relax unconsciously.

But words obviously couldn't appease Paimon's resentment of being blocked just now. The little emergency food rushed to Famas angrily and began to point fingers:
"Hey, damn FAMAS, we were just stopped by that boss and forced to buy and sell, and you just sat here and watched?"

"There are also street singers! What do you mean by Lord Barbatos' will? Aren't you the God of Wind?"

Every time he meets FAMAS, Paimon always chatters and complains about the other party, and this time he couldn't help but reveal Wendy's hidden identity.

Fortunately, Boss Zhu was busy in the kitchen, and Tok was only thinking about his brother and One-eyed Xiaobao. Although he heard the complaints about the emergency food, he did not take it seriously.

After all, Paimon is just a smart toy, so it’s normal for him to say weird things occasionally, right?

"How can this be called watching a show? I'm thinking about you."

Famas showed his white teeth and stretched out his hand to catch the flying little Paimon, but she successfully dodged him.

Apparently, after being deceived so many times, Paimon was well aware of Famas's tricks. After successfully dodging them, she proudly puffed out her chest and crossed her arms over her chest, looking like a winner.

"Damn the guarantor, there's no way you can catch Lord Paimon!"

"I've seen through your tricks!"

Hearing Paimon's name, Famas' eyes widened. Just when he was about to show his unique skills to the ignorant Emergency Food, his eyes fell on Tok, who was full of curiosity and well-behaved.

A child dressed in winter, with the same orange hair and blue eyes as a certain executive.

FAMAS would never believe that this child had nothing to do with Tartaglia.

Although he had already guessed what happened to Yingmei and why the three of them appeared here, Famas did not say it out loud first. Instead, he waved his hand to indicate that he was too lazy to argue with Paimon and explained why he did not stop Boss Zhu from selling.

"The dishes at Cuifengting are actually quite delicious. Don't we hope that you can try some new dishes?"

The inn opened by Boss Zhu is located in a corner. Despite its remote location, it is famous for its delicious food and affordable prices. However, due to its location, there are few customers in the store and business is a little deserted.

Therefore, whenever there are new customers, Boss Zhu is always eager to step forward and greet them warmly, which is why he stopped the Traveler and Paimon.

"Really?
Paimon stared at the calm FAMAS with suspicion.

As far as she knew, Famas had never been too particular about food. Perhaps because Munata had been in a state of war for a long time, as the god of the ancient country, Famas often had to lead the army to the front line in person.

In the war-torn years, it was a blessing to have food to fill one's stomach, and it was really hard to expect the exquisiteness and enjoyment of food.

Even Famas, who was never picky about food, said that the food tasted good. Paimon simply couldn't imagine how amazing the dishes here were.

"Well, Tok, let's eat something before we go find our brother, okay?"

Little Paimon's greed was aroused, and she started to discuss with Tok. After all, she and the traveler had accepted the commission to find Tartaglia, and the principle of adventurers was to give priority to commissions.

"Great! Tok also wants to try Liyue's food!"

The little boy nodded obediently, his eyes sparkling with anticipation for the delicious food.

On the Yermak, Tok still ate the dishes of the winter, and after getting off the ship, he ate the dry food he brought with him. It was not until now that he had the opportunity to truly taste the food of Liyue for the first time.

Paimon and Tok reached a consensus, and although the Traveler was still a little confused about why Famas and Wendy appeared here, he finally decided to follow Paimon and sat down at Famas and Wendy's table.

The moment they sat down, the dishes carefully prepared by Boss Zhu were served on the table just in time.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"Come on, guests, try our signature dishes."

Boss Zhu enthusiastically brought the exquisitely shaped dishes to the table one by one. But before he could introduce the characteristics of these dishes, Paimeng was already deeply attracted by these delicious foods and began to devour them impatiently.

"Mmm...delicious! Your cooking skills are really good, boss."

The little mascot praised the food while eating, and his supportive look made Boss Zhu's face full of a smug smile.

After the traveler picked up his chopsticks and tasted a few bites of the dishes, his eyes were full of surprise. He was obviously moved by the unexpected deliciousness. But after looking around and seeing the empty table in the inn, he couldn't help asking:

"Boss, the store looks a little deserted?"

After hearing the traveler's words, the complacency on Boss Zhu's face gradually faded, replaced by fatigue that was difficult to conceal:

"Oh, isn't it? If I had known this would happen, I should have listened to the old man's advice and stayed at home peacefully. Why would I open this inn?"

The location of Cuifengting was not very good. It was awkwardly sandwiched between Wangshu Inn and the bustling Liyue Harbor, like a corner forgotten by the world. Looking around, the inn was empty except for them, with only a few wisps of dust dancing lightly in the mottled sunlight.

"Travelers from the north always go straight to Wangshu Inn, and travelers from the south often rest in Liyue Harbor before leaving." Boss Zhu sighed and added, "You see, no one is willing to step into my door."

Seeing the other party sighing, the traveler first glanced at Famas who was pouting, then turned to look at Boss Zhu.

The land price in Liyue is not cheap. Even in the more remote areas, the high cost is enough to make it difficult for many shops with poor business to survive.

Cuifengting's business is so slow that it should be difficult for it to survive in Liyue.

But the traveler always felt that FAMAS knew something, especially the subtle look he gave Boss Zhu.

So Yingmei continued to ask out of curiosity: "What are your plans for the future operation of the inn?"

Boss Zhu sighed helplessly, as if he was relieved that there were still guests who cared about the inn's business situation, and then shook his head pretentiously:
"I'll just hold on. If there are really no customers, I'll have no choice but to close the shop and sell this shabby house at a low price."

"It's really hard to make a living from this business. I don't have any other skills. I can only go back and inherit the three jade mines left by the old man and make ends meet..."

When talking about the family property, Boss Zhu's face was full of helplessness. It seemed that he really would rather rely on his own efforts to make a living rather than rely on the legacy left by his family.

When the word "Jade Mine" was heard, the sympathy on the traveler's face instantly froze, causing Famas to burst into laughter.

Fortunately, she was still sympathizing with Boss Zhu's situation and was ready to pay more for the meal after the meal. She didn't expect that the "no other skills" he meant actually meant that he owned three jade mines in Liyue.

This behavior, which is complaining on the surface but actually showing off, really makes Yingmei not know how to respond. (End of this chapter)
