"Yes, it's you. What's wrong?"

Behind the counter, Qiqi tilted her head in confusion as Ying and Xiangling entered Bubulu. A female voice also came from Baizhu, who was arranging medicinal herbs.

"Oh? We have some rare guests. It seems you're not too busy today. Would you like to help us gather some medicinal herbs? The reward will definitely not disappoint you."

"Huh? Really? Wait, why does Bai Shu's voice sound like this?"

Despite the toothache, Pai-money-grubber Monk was the first to step forward, as the reward wouldn't disappoint them. Perhaps the toothache made Pai-money-grubber Monk's mind sharper, because she noticed something was off about Bai-shu's voice.

"Hey, look at his neck."

"Oh, it's Changsheng who's speaking."

Changsheng, perched on Baishu's neck, rolled her eyes at Paimon, but before Paimon could speak again, Changsheng seemed to have remembered something and excitedly said...

"Wait, you're not going to take Qiqi out to play again, are you? That won't do. Last time you took Qiqi to the snow mountain, Baishu almost died from exhaustion."

"Chang Sheng, don't get excited, don't get excited. We're not here to take Qi Qi out to play. We're here to treat Paimon."

Seeing that Changsheng on Baishu's neck was getting more and more agitated, and that the sharp snake fangs were showing, Ying hurriedly pushed Paimon out from behind her.

"Um, Ying, how about we go find Abedo? I have a feeling something's off about Changsheng's eyes..."

Paimon shrank back timidly. She felt that Changsheng's gaze was a little strange. Could Changsheng be deliberately retaliating against her while she was seeing a doctor?

"Haha, Changsheng, don't scare Paimon. You guys are here today to treat little Paimon, right? Little Paimon, open your mouth so I can see your teeth."

After packing up the medicinal herbs, Bai Shu went to Paimon and carefully examined Paimon's teeth. After the examination, Bai Shu asked a question with some curiosity.

"I don't know what Paimon ate. I think Paimon's teeth should be much harder than ordinary people's, but now one of his teeth has a crack. It's unbelievable."

"Um, this is what she's eating."

To help Bai Shu better understand Paimon's condition, Ying summoned the Salted Fish Greatsword. Bai Shu looked at the giant salted fish, half the height of a person, and his face twitched. This thing didn't look like something you could eat, did it? Perhaps Paimon's problem wasn't just with his teeth. Oh well, he'd prescribe some brain-boosting medicine for Paimon later.

"Although I don't know what Paimon is, if I were to treat him, I could only pull out this tooth and prescribe some anti-inflammatory medication."

"Huh? Paimon doesn't want to lose a tooth, Baishu, do you have any other ideas?"

"There really isn't any other way. The main problem is that your tooth is cracked so badly that if it's not pulled out in time, it might keep hurting."

Bai Shu's expression was very serious. Although he didn't know much about dental diseases, he knew that Paimon's serious dental problem could only be treated by extraction.

"Paimon, don't be sad. Let's go to Wangshu Inn and see Abedo. Abedo has so many magical alchemical potions, he should be able to fix your teeth, Paimon."

Seeing that Paimon was a little sad, Ying comforted him for a few moments. Xiangling also took advantage of the free time to quickly explain her purpose.

"Mr. Baizhu, I need to buy some fresh lotus pods. Also, I'm going to participate in a cooking competition and would like to invite two... no, three people, to tell me what kind of dishes you like to eat."

After Xiangling asked everyone in the group, she wanted to ask the people in Liyue Harbor with whom she had a good relationship. When Bai Shu heard that Xiangling had included her, Chang Sheng on her neck became happy.

"You little girl, you have a sweet tongue. I can help you with this."

"What kind of food do you like to eat? Um... they're all the same, they have no flavor..."

Qi Qi was a little unsure how to answer the question. In her mind, all dishes seemed to taste the same. Bai Zhu then stepped forward to explain.

"Qiqi has some issues with her sense of taste and can't taste the food, please forgive her."

"It's okay, I know all that, but even so, Qiqi should have some preferences. I want to know what kind of food you like."

"Feeling...touch? Touch, yes."

"It's cool and refreshing, I like coconut milk."

Xiangling looked at Qiqi, expecting her answer. Some of Qiqi's answers were exactly what Ying expected, since she had made quite a fool of herself with the coconut milk before.

"But coconut milk is a beverage, you know. Atractylodes macrocephala, Changsheng, what about you? What are your thoughts?"

Seeing that Qiqi really couldn't answer, Xiangling had no choice but to give up on getting an answer from Qiqi. Fortunately, Baizhu and Changsheng were still quite normal.

"For me, easy-to-eat meat dishes are good, but not too spicy. We snakes are not interested in spicy things."

“I agree with what Changsheng said. For example, medicinal cuisine is a very good choice.”

Bai Zhu took out several medicinal herbs commonly used in medicinal cuisine and placed them on the counter to provide Xiang Ling with ideas. He didn't have a deep understanding of medicinal cuisine, and the medicinal cuisine he made was always very unpalatable. Even Qi Qi, who had no sense of taste, didn't like to eat medicinal cuisine. Therefore, he really hoped that Xiang Ling could help him improve the taste of medicinal cuisine.

"Yes, it is indeed very valuable for reference. Medicinal cuisine is more about balance than ordinary home cooking. Although I don't usually pay attention to these things when cooking, if I take into account the combination of taste and efficacy in this competition, it should add a lot of points to the dishes. Thank you, Atractylodes macrocephala."

"These two cups of Su Bai's special milk tea are for you. Speaking of which, it was Hu Tao who asked me to promote it at Wanmintang. If you like it, you can check it out near Wangshengtang. I heard that Hu Tao opened a milk tea shop near Wangshengtang. I think Qi Qi, who likes coconut milk, might like milk tea."

Qiqi took the milk tea from Xiangling and saw that the milk tea in the cup was a bit darker than coconut milk. Qiqi curiously took a small sip, and a small round ball came into Qiqi's mouth through the straw and was crushed by Qiqi.

"It's sweet! Qiqi, Qiqi can taste something sweet!"

Chapter 235 Hot-selling Milk Tea

"Have you heard? It seems that Wangshengtang has launched a new type of beverage, which is said to be very popular."

"You've heard about it too? My brat has heard about it too, and he's been crying and begging me to buy it for him."

"Brothers, I heard that even the Rock King Emperor said that the new drink was good, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"That's definitely fake, it's definitely false advertising. Don't you think the Emperor has been gone for so long? This drink was only launched a few days ago, how could the Rock King Emperor have drunk it?"

Looking at the long queue and the chattering crowd outside the Hall of Rebirth, Xiangling, who had brought Qiqi to find Su Bai, was also confused. Was this thing called milk tea really that delicious? In the past, everyone kept quiet about places like the Hall of Rebirth, so why were they all crowding the entrance today?

Inside the Hall of Rebirth, Ruo Tuo was directing Zhong Li to brew milk tea, while some people transformed from the Five-Colored Deception Flower were collecting nectar and kneading small round balls made from illusion mushrooms, which Ying named 'pearls'.

"Zhongli, hurry up! We promised to give Hu Tao a surprise today. We've kept it a secret for so long. Little Hu Tao will be so happy when she gets home tonight and sees the Mora we've earned these past few days."

"Making milk tea is the same as making regular tea; you need to do..."

"Shut up, Zhongli! All I want to see is the result. Can't you sense that the people outside have already surrounded the Hall of Rebirth?"

Ruo Tuo interrupted Zhong Li impatiently. If she had known Zhong Li was so slow, she would have done it herself. Unfortunately, Zhong Li just wouldn't budge, insisting that she had to taste the milk tea at its perfect temperature. Sigh, she could only hope that Morax wouldn't be so leisurely.

"I wonder if Xiangling tasted my specially made mushroom balls. Those things consumed a lot of my immortal power."

Su Bai placed a bunch of non-hallucinogenic hallucinogenic mushrooms in front of Ruo Tuo. If Xiang Ling didn't notice anything special about the mushroom balls, it meant he had succeeded, and he wouldn't have to worry about not having good food when they got on Bei Dou's ship.

"Xiaobai, where is Shenhe? She disappeared early this morning, and no one ate the breakfast I bought for her."

Mona placed a pancake filled with refreshing ingredients on top of the ice cubes made by Ruoduo, hoping to surprise Shen He. However, she didn't see Shen He all morning.

"Um, Sister Shenhe seems to have gone to see Sister Ganyu early this morning. I remember they were going to see True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng. Speaking of which, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng hasn't sent any messages in the group for many days. I wonder what that old man is doing."

Su Bai originally wanted to go with Shen He, but as soon as he got up, Ruo Tuo conscripted him. Under Ruo Tuo's fists filled with rock element, Su Bai had no choice but to become a humanoid illusion mushroom growth accelerator. He did nothing but grow illusion mushrooms all morning.

"Su Bai, Su Bai, come out quickly! Qi Qi can actually taste it now!"

Xiangling pulled Qiqi and squeezed through the crowd with great difficulty. Old Meng, who was guarding the gate, did not stop Xiangling because he knew her. In this way, Xiangling dragged Qiqi into the Hall of Rebirth.

Su Bai's face lit up when he heard Xiang Ling's call. It seemed that his creation had been successful. Su Bai handed a cup of milk tea to the panting Xiang Ling.

"Tell me slowly, tell me slowly, is it time for Qiqi to taste the milk tea?"

"Yes, yes, Su Bai, how did you do that? Qi Qi can only taste the flavor in that little ball in the milk tea, but she can't taste anything else."

"Qiqi, Qiqi also wants to know why."

Even on Qi Qi's unchanging face, there was a hint of urgency. It was clear that being able to taste the flavor was very important to her. Su Bai didn't keep them in suspense any longer. He took out a few specially made small round balls and handed them to Qi Qi and Xiang Ling, indicating that they should try them. Qi Qi and Xiang Ling's eyes widened instantly after they put the small round balls into their mouths.

"This, this is the taste of Mora meat? How is this possible? There's no way you could fit Mora meat into this tiny sphere."

"It's salty and delicious. Qiqi likes it."

"Su Bai, what's going on? Is it some kind of new spice?"

Xiangling asked Su Bai excitedly, perhaps because a newly discovered spice is really important in the eyes of a chef. Su Bai shook his head.

"This isn't actually a spice or a magic pill to cure Qiqi's loss of taste. It's just a little gadget made from illusion mushrooms that can trick the brain. I call it Delicious Pearls. If I want, Delicious Pearls can simulate the taste of any dish. If this stuff really works for Qiqi, then you can take these Delicious Pearls for now."

"Thank you, Qiqi, I like this delicious little ball."

Qiqi carefully packed the small round balls that Su Bai had given her into a bag, and decided to grind one of the balls into powder and sprinkle it on the rice when she got back, so that she could have a bowl of flavorful rice.

"It's okay, Qiqi. You can come to me for it when you're done using it. It's not difficult to make."

"If you're free today, Qiqi, why don't you play with Keli at the Hall of Rebirth? There are lots of ice blocks inside, it's much cooler than outside."

Su Bai patted Qi Qi's little head. Ever since Zhong Tuo started getting busy with the milk tea business, the heavy responsibility of taking care of Ke Li fell on Su Bai's shoulders. This also meant that Su Bai didn't even have time to be alone with Shen He. If Qi Qi could spend time with Ke Li, he could also take a break and go shopping with Shen He.

"Qiqi doesn't feel hot, but she's happy playing with Keli."

As soon as she finished speaking, Klee darted out of her room. It had been a long time since she and Qiqi had gone on an adventure outside Liyue Harbor, and she was determined to have a great time today.

"Sister Qiqi, you're here! Come on, let's go out and play together. Sister Tuotuo has given Keli a lot of Mora these past few days, let's go shopping together."

Watching the two little ones slip out through the back door of the Rebirth Hall, Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief. Hmm, it seems that after Sister Shen He comes back, we can go shopping together. Let's go to Huyan today. They sell a lot of different kinds of things there. Let's see if there's anything Sister Shen He likes.

At this moment, Ruo Tuo had already placed a large bucket of milk tea outside the entrance of the Rebirth Hall. The sweet aroma of the milk tea made many girls in line swallow hard. Even though they had been buying milk tea every day for the past few days, the smell was still so intoxicating.

"Boss, give me one cup, no, two cups."

"No, each person can only buy one cup. I don't care which family's young lady you are. If you don't want our 'Master Hu,' who can scare ghosts to death, to come to your house to chat with you in the middle of the night, then you'd better line up and follow the rules."

Despite her small size, Ruo Tuo's commanding presence was unmatched by ordinary people. One wonders what Hu Tao would think if she knew that Ruo Tuo had so tarnished her reputation.

"Old Meng, stop standing there like an idiot and come over to serve the guests. Don't forget that each person is limited to one drink. If anyone causes trouble, go find Zhong Li."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ruo Tuo ran towards the location where Ke Li was, which she sensed. These days, in order to increase the income of the Rebirth Hall and prevent it from going bankrupt, she had neglected her two little brothers. She had to hurry up and go see her two little brothers and have some fun with them.

Chapter 236 The Festival of Chasing the Moon (5)

"I never expected that a guesthouse not famous for its food would have such a skilled chef. It's truly remarkable."

Ke Qing couldn't help but sigh as she smelled the food on the table. She had passed by Wangshu Inn many times when she was working, but she had no idea that the chef named Yan Xiao was so good at cooking.

"Speaking of which, Paimon, are your teeth feeling better? I didn't expect to run into you guys here."

Xiangling noticed that Paimon's face was still uneven, so she asked him about it. This almost made Paimon burst into tears, and Ying, who was standing next to her, smiled awkwardly.

"Ying, you big bad guy! Abedo clearly said it could be repaired with an alchemical potion without extraction, but you wicked thing chose extraction as the treatment method! Waaaaah~"

"Ahem, Paimon, I'm doing this for your own good. Getting treatment after a tooth is extracted takes much less time than getting it repaired. By the way, Keqing, Xiangling, what brings you two to Wangshu Inn?"

After shooing away Paimon, who was pulling her hair, Ying decisively changed the subject, and Keqing made no attempt to hide the purpose of her visit.

"We came here to look for clues about the legendary Kitchen God. It is said that the Kitchen God once appeared in what is now Guili Village, so Xiangling and I wanted to come here to look for clues about the Kitchen God."

"Oh, I see. The owner was wondering why you, Lady Keqing, would come to our Wangshu Inn."

Yan Xiao brought a plate of golden shrimp balls to the table. The golden-brown shrimp balls on the plate immediately caught Ke Qing's attention. Ke Qing swallowed hard, thinking, "No, I have to ask Yan Xiao if there's a legend about the Kitchen God in Wangshu Inn before I can eat." The sense of responsibility made Ke Qing reluctantly take her eyes off the shrimp balls and turn to Yan Xiao.
