The Void Walker Starting from Xumi

Chapter 58, Big Customer
"Dad, there don't seem to be many customers today." Mao Xiangling came out of the house and saw Master Mao who was packing a pile of ingredients.

"Why did you pack so many ingredients?"

There are only a few people eating staple foods in Wanmin Hall.

"Today a particularly strong guy came and made us cook an entire recipe in one go." Master Mao complained happily while urging Mao Xiangling to help.

"A whole recipe?" Xiangling asked in surprise.

"Yes, except for the ones we are not very familiar with, let's take a look at all the others." Master Mao said.

"It won't cause any food waste." Xiangling muttered, "Guoba, come and help too."

"He said he could finish it, and it doesn't seem like he was lying to me," said Master Mao.

"So many, are you sure?"

"You'll know when you see the person." said Master Mao.

Ten minutes later, Fuget and Xiamian arrived at the Hall of All Peoples.

"Please come in, sir." Chef Mao said, "Your dish will be ready soon."

"Xiangling, prepare the dishes." Then Master Mao said in a low voice, "Now you believe it, this guy is so strong... uh, his wife is not bad either, but why does his wife look so much like an immortal."

"Okay." After Xiangling looked at it twice, her hands moved faster.

Xiangling whispered, "He's probably not an immortal. He doesn't have that kind of immortal aura, but he's probably not a weakling either."

Xiangling already had the Divine Eye at this time, and had been studying with Grandma Ping for a long time.

His level is also LV30+. Although he may not be stronger than the strong ones in the Thousand Rocks Army, his perception ability is much stronger than theirs. He can vaguely feel that something is wrong with Fugate and Xiamian.

Of course, this is also related to the visible strength of Fuget and Xiamian.

The full muscles show that he has strong teeth.

"Boiled fish at Wanmintang."

“Dry fried fish river.”

"Crab roe tofu."

"Come on, let's eat."

One delicious dish after another was born from the hands of Xiangling and Master Mao, and then entered the stomachs of Fugate and Xiamian.

During this time, Fugate also asked for hot water and brewed some classic flavors of instant drinks.

"Is this Fontaine's Bubble Orange?" After the dish was served, compared to Chef Mao who was almost exhausted, Xiangling was still full of energy.

"Fontaine Classic Instant Drink." Fuget handed Xiangling a small packet of instant drink. "It's rich in nutrition, but the taste is actually quite ordinary."

"It tastes good." Xiangling said after tasting the tea.

"It's the novelty. After you drink a lot, the taste is just average," said Fugate.

Xia Mian also nodded and said, "Actually, this is already very good. You drink it almost like water every day. If it were a regular beverage, you would have gotten tired of it a long time ago."

"That's true." Fugate said, "Come here, little one, Mora will give it to you, and the meal will be paid for."

"I'm not a little kid." Xiangling said angrily.

"Haha~" This made Fugate and Xiamian laugh. The eleven-year-old Xiangling was indeed a little kid to them.

By the time Fuget and his friends had finished their meal, it was already afternoon. However, there were more than just their table of customers in the restaurant at this time. After receiving Mora, Master Fumao, who was almost fully revived, opened the door to receive customers again in the evening.

In the evening, Fugate and Xiamian went out to the night market.

"Hmm? I seem to have seen Miss Ganyu." Fugate said, touching his chin.

"I saw it too. It seemed to be heading towards the Hall of All Peoples." Xia Mian also nodded.

The two looked at each other and then went to find Miss Ganyu.

In Wanmin Hall, Master Mao was lamenting that he had met two gluttons today. Those two really could eat all the time. And when leaving, Master Mao also took a look at them. Their stomachs were as big as a cave, and they were not bulging at all.

Master Mao, who saw this kind of person for the first time, said that he had really broadened his horizons.

"Master Mao, give me the old dish." Ganyu said softly while sitting in the corner.

"Okay." Master Mao nodded, then asked Xiangling to start cooking.

Miss Ganyu’s dishes are often simpler, and are basically vegetarian.

Master Mao's hands got cramps from cutting vegetables today, and he really doesn't want to cut vegetables anymore.

Looking at his still energetic daughter, Master Mao felt envy for the first time for something as unreasonable as the Eye of God.

"Speaking of which, Miss Ganyu, does you know immortals like Taotie?" Master Mao couldn't help but ask.

"Ah? Never heard of it." Ganyu blinked twice and said.

"Ms. Ganyu, it's really you." Fugate's voice rang out, "And you were wondering why we couldn't find you."

"Mrs. Xiamian, Mr. Fugate, it's you two." Ganyu greeted Fugate and Xiamian.

"Would you like to eat something together?" Ganyu asked.

"No need. I just had dinner here today. I was planning to visit Miss Ganyu at the end of this vacation." Xia Mian said.

"Speaking of which, Miss Ganyu, did you just get off work?" Fugate asked curiously.

"Yes, the work is not finished yet." Miss Ganyu scratched her head awkwardly.

Master Mao had already stepped aside at this time. He really hoped that these two people could not see him. If they took a photo of the recipe and asked for a copy, he would really collapse.

Not to mention that there were not enough raw materials left, his body was not strong enough to cook all the dishes again.

As for his daughter Xiangling, although Xiangling's cooking skills have surpassed his now, it is just cooking skills. She still has a lot of shortcomings in experience such as serving large quantities of food and running a store.

Compared to cooking skills, these are more important things for a restaurant that serves dine-in meals.

Of course, taste is equally important. The taste of Xiangling should be enjoyed by gourmets, but to satisfy ordinary diners, Chef Mao’s cooking skills are more than enough.

Make an appointment with Ganyu to visit her home in the evening.

"Then I won't disturb Miss Ganyu's meal."

"Mr. Fugate and Mrs. Charmian, just go and do your own things."

After saying hello, Fuget and Xia Mian continued to go out to the night market.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, Fugate and Xiamian arrived at Ganyu's residence.

Ganyu was not working overtime, she must have made time specifically to receive them.

Ganyu's residence in Liyue Harbor is located in the area closest to the center of Yujing Terrace. All the people living here are dignitaries, and even the newly appointed Tianquan Star Ningguang has a private courtyard nearby.

This place is known as the place that controls the direction of Liyue, and is home to the leaders of the Seven Stars, Eight Gates, and major chambers of commerce.

However, Ganyu must have given notice in advance, so the Qianyan Army stationed at Yujingtai just gave them a simple check and let them pass.

"Welcome to see me." Ganyu welcomed them in. "Sorry my house is a bit messy."

There are basically no daily necessities in Ganyu's home, most of them are for work.

"Ms. Ganyu always seems so tired every time we meet. Is it because of work?" Xia Mian asked.

"Well... these are today's tasks." Gan Yu pointed to a thick stack of documents and said, "Let's not talk about these anymore."

Xiamian started chatting with Ganyu, but Ganyu fell asleep while chatting.

"Ah..." Fugate and Xiamian looked at each other, Xiamian made a gesture, and Fugate took out more sea dew flower drink from the space and put it together with the previous gifts.

They wanted to give Ganyu some potions, but as a high-ranking official of a country, it was obvious that Ganyu would not be able to drink them so easily.

In this case, it is better to add more sea dew flowers to make the drink. I believe after trying it, I will recommend it to Liyue Yue Haiting and other office workers.

After all, it doesn't make sense that the office workers at Mo Mang Palace like it, but the office workers at Yue Hai Ting don't.

······
"Oops, sorry, I was a little rude last night." The next morning, Ganyu ran to Fugate and apologized. Then she hurried to work with the sea dew flower drink and classic flavor drink given by Xia Mian.

"Not everyone can be Yue Haiting's secretary." Fuget sighed. "Where should we go today? How about Lishajiao?" Xiamian suggested.

"Yes, I remember there was a sea of ​​​​glass lilies there hundreds of years ago. I remember we went to see it together." said Fugate.

While Fuget and Xiamian were discussing where to go for fun, Miss Ganyu on the other side had already started working.

As the secretary of all seven stars, Ganyu's workload is terrifying. After putting the small gifts given by Fugate and Xiamian aside, Ganyu began her busy work for the day.

After being busy for several hours and meeting the three Seven Stars, Ganyu finally had some time to rest.

Ganyu, who wanted to drink some water, then remembered the thing called instant drink that Fugate and Xiamian brought her.

"Instant drink? Do you mean drink it with water?" Ganyu took out several small packets of instant drink.

"Classic (bubble orange) flavored instant drink, produced by the Fontainebleau Fati Beverage Processing Factory."

“Rich in nutrition and great taste...”

"Ingredients: Bubble orange."

“How to use: Brew with warm water and stir evenly until there are no obvious particles.”

“Nutritional content: Most nutrients in Bubble Orange.”

"This one is sea dew flower flavor, and this one is sunset fruit flavor."

Following the instructions on the package, Ganyu tried a few cups of the drink.

The other ones were fine, but when Ganyu tasted the Sea Dew Flower flavor, she couldn't help but frown. This was too bitter.

But then Ganyu's eyes lit up. Although the taste was not good, its effect in restoring the body's vitality was first-class.

I felt a warm feeling in my body and my vitality was recovering rapidly.

"This is a medicine, right? But it's not labeled as a medicine... it's a health supplement... Hmm~ Overtime partner?"

"It is indeed suitable for overtime work. It can allow the Seven Stars multinational caravan to purchase some goods when they go to Fontaine."

She called her secretary to fetch the drinks in her room, and then Ganyu distributed the Sea Dew Flower Drink to her subordinates. She prepared to give the rest of the drinks to the other Seven Stars to taste.

The main focus is sharing.

“This will also help improve work efficiency.”

Sure enough, with the help of the Sea Dew Flower Drink, Yue Haiting and Gan Yu only worked overtime for one hour today.

Everyone thought that something had happened to Yue Haiting.

Fortunately, Yue Haiting's secretary on night shift said that it was due to the improvement in everyone's work efficiency, but no one believed it at first, and finally other secretaries explained it.

Everyone was very surprised at this.

"You mean the efficiency has increased greatly because of a drink?" The new Tianquan Star Ningguang was quite surprised. "What kind of drink can have such an effect?"

"It's called a drink, but it might be more accurate to call it a potion." Gan Yu said, "I went to Zhaobulu's Doctor Bai after get off work yesterday to learn about it. Sea Dew Flower is a specialty medicinal herb in Fontaine, which has the effect of restoring human vitality and awakening the human spirit."

"It's just like our Liyue Qingxin, but compared to Qingxin, the efficacy may be slightly worse, but the Hailuhua Fengdan has already been cultivated on a large scale."

Although Liyue's Qingxin is much more effective, most of it is wild and the picking process is dangerous. Therefore, it can be used to treat diseases, but if it is used as a consumable, it is indeed not worth the cost.

"Although this drink looks very simple, Doctor Bai has actually studied it and found it to be very troublesome to make, and we don't know their process."

"Sister Ganyu, is this craft important?" asked Tianshu Xing Tianshu
"Yes." Gan Yu nodded and said, "This should be what my friend made."

"Your friend?" Several Seven Stars looked at each other.

Then Ganyu talked about the situation of Fugate and Xiamian.

"The Sumeru people from more than 500 years ago?"

"Yes, they are all excellent alchemy masters and very powerful original gods."

The seven stars looked at each other, and Tianheng (not Keqing) said, "I wonder if you can come forward to negotiate. We in Liyue also want to improve our alchemy technology."

"It would be best to buy a complete set of beverage production technology." Tianquanxing Ningguang said, "It's not good to always import."

"Sure. They are all on vacation in Liyue Harbor recently. I will find time to ask them."

"But if it's about improving alchemy, there's no need to ask." Ganyu said, "Among the gifts they gave me, there are some basic alchemy books."

"According to my research, it should be an alchemy technology that is much more advanced than the current textbooks of the Academy of Ecclesiastical Arts." Ganyu still knows some alchemy. After living long enough, he knows a little bit of everything.

"How generous~" Several old men laughed.

······
"Hmm~ Interesting, these two guys don't have any intention of hiding anything." Ningguang checked the information in her hand.

"But this also shows that the other party doesn't care about the prying eyes of us 'weaklings'."

"After all, the other side was already one of the strongest groups five hundred years ago." The blue water shadow dissipated, and a tall figure appeared beside Ningguang.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ye Lan."

"You're welcome. You know I like excitement, but following these two is indeed a bit too exciting." Ye Lan said, "But I did find out the current identities of these two."

"One of them must be working for the Fatui."

“The Fatui?” Ningguang frowned. “This is not a good sign.”

"Who is it?"

"It's Mr. Fugate. I heard an anecdote a few years ago. Sister Ganyu had a very pleasant conversation with a high-ranking Fatui. That high-ranking official was Mr. Fugate. Of course, if we are talking about the title among the Fatui, then it is Colonel [Fuzhu]." Uncle Tian said.

"Mr. Tianshu, you are here."

"We have to come." Uncle Tian said, "That guy is a very dangerous person."

"After investigating the relevant information about Zhidong, my intelligence network told me that Mr. Fugate was from the same department as the Doctor, but later served under the even more brutal Servant."

"As for him, his ability is not inferior to the following executive officers."

"As for Hermanubis II, she has more information, but that doesn't mean she's easy to deal with."

"Take a look at this information. This was found by the Xumi students sent by our Liyue in the Great Library."

Ye Lan took the information and looked at it, then took a breath.

Ningguang trusted her intelligence officer very much, so she asked, "What's the matter? Is it difficult?"

Ye Lan said: "From the literal record, this Hermanubis II has the top combat power under the Demon God. Even compared with the top executives, except for the top three, he is not weaker than anyone else."

"He is particularly good at large-scale combat and protracted warfare, and has a record of continuous high-intensity combat for a month."

“...Doesn’t she have any weaknesses?” Ningguang asked.

"He has no weaknesses. He is powerful in all aspects." Ye Lan said, "And he is a very powerful [Gold] level alchemy master. This means that toxins and the like are useless to him."

"Uncle Tian is not here to attack us, is he?" Ningguang turned her eyes and looked at Uncle Tian.

"Haha~ Ningguang is still sensible. There is good news. This Hermanubis II is not our enemy. Sister Ganyu has been in contact with him for a long time."

"So I'm sure he didn't join the Fatui."

"From the recent letters, Sister Ganyu learned that the other party was helping Fugate to develop the alchemy level of an organization called Hearth House, and was only a figurehead in this organization."

"It's much the same with Mr. Fugate."

"Mr. Fugate made a promise with the Doctor, so he stayed among the Fatui."

"However, unlike Hermanubis II who focused on researching the areas of his interest, Mr. Fuget has actually improved the alchemy level of the Fatui."

"Mr. Fugate's attitude is rather ambiguous, so we need to be on guard as well."

Uncle Tian told all the information he had obtained.

However, I can only say that it is worthy of being called "Rooster". This one was made by Yaoi and even professional intelligence personnel cannot tell the difference.

Come on everyone, if you get 200+ monthly tickets, I can add more chapters (the extra chapters will also be 5k chapters)
