Be a legal businessman in Liyue!

Lan Yu helplessly pointed at the adventurers not far away and said, "Some of them are injured. They should go back first."

After the attack, she was no longer in the mood to continue playing.

Wang Que finally nodded: "Okay then."

Chapter 182 Qiaoying Manor

The streets paved with bluestone stretch out in a winding manner, the houses with white walls and black tiles are scattered in an orderly manner, the horse-head walls with flying eaves outline the skyline, and the mottled vines and moss on the walls tell the story of the accumulation of thousands of years.

Unlike the prosperous Liyue Harbor, although Qiaoying Manor also has a long history, the scenery here is closer to nature.

"How about it? The scenery here is not inferior to the prosperity of Liyue Harbor, right?"

Lan Yu walked beside Wang Que, smiling and acting as his tour guide.

Wang Que nodded slightly and looked around at this estate famous for its tea.

The stream in the village gurgles, the waterwheel turns leisurely, and the fragrance of ground tea leaves rises with the mist.

With every breath, you can faintly feel the fragrance of the mountain soul-scented flowers interwoven into a unique olfactory imprint.

Looking up,

The tea fields outside the village are stacked like terraces, and the tender green tea trees are shining with jade-like luster in the sunlight. The tea pickers' hats are lightly fluttered, and their fingertips seem to be dancing with the wind.

"You came at an unfortunate time. It's already September, and the best tea season has passed."

"Otherwise, you can taste the best tea."

Lan Yu seemed to be very familiar with this place, and he highly praised the tea from Qiaoying Manor.

"Oh, then when is the best tea?"

Wang Que asked with great interest.

In fact, his understanding of tea is relatively one-sided. He can only distinguish between good and bad tea, but he doesn't understand more detailed things.

Lan Yu's eyes lit up slightly, and she spoke with great familiarity: "The best, of course, is the tea from around April. That's the real Shenyu Xian Tea. Hehe, I have some at home. I'll bring you some later."

Upon hearing this, Wang Que waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No merit, no reward. Forget it."

"How could it be in vain? Didn't you save me?" Lan Yu smiled, a hint of cunning flickering between his brows. "Besides, you are Boss Wang. Your elemental grenades have been a great help to our family."

Hearing this, Wang Que raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I think the latter one is the real one."

Lan Yu: "Hahahaha, it's true that you saved me."

She did not refute Wang Que.

"Boss Wang, the last time we met, I wanted you to open a branch in Chenyu Valley. Now is the chance?"

Lan Yu stopped acting and directly extended the topic to business.

Wang Que didn't hide it and nodded slightly: "I did send someone here to prepare to open a branch, but he didn't come with me."

In fact, Wang Que was thinking that if he had known earlier, he would have put the warm stone in the Chen Ge pot and brought it here.

However, it's too late to regret now.

Judging from the time, Wen Shitou probably hasn't left Guiliyuan yet.

"Are you really going to open a branch? That would be great."

There was a hint of excitement in Lan Yu's eyes: "Boss Wang, you may not know that although you give me a thousand elemental grenades every month, it is not enough."

"With these elemental grenades, it will be much safer for the clan members to go out and train."

Wang Que smiled and said, "The factory will soon increase production and will ship out in large quantities. When the time comes, you can buy as much as you want."

Once the production line is ready, the shipment volume will definitely be enormous.

Wang Que was not afraid of these clans purchasing in large quantities. He was only afraid that the goods would pile up and could not be sold.

"Really? That's great."

Lan Yu was very happy.

The two chatted as they walked and soon arrived at the central area of ​​Qiaoying Manor.

The suspended bamboo pavilion floats above the clear water with spiritual power. The alchemy furnace in the pavilion emits wisps of green smoke, which merges with the clouds and mist of the Chenyu Valley.

"This is…"

Wang Que stared at the incense burner, a flash of memory in his eyes.

This thing seems to be related to the underground veins of Chenyu Valley.

Coordinating the Feng Shui trends of Chenyu Valley, it is the reason why the number one tea house in Teyvat was built.

Later, the mountain master Lingyuan changed the earth veins and prepared to completely transform Chenyu Valley into the wild and desolate state it was a thousand years ago, and this incense burner began to have problems.

Of course, in the end, it was solved by Huangmao.

Under Fu Jin's persuasion, Ling Yuan also gave up on changing Chen Yu Valley.

However, when Wang Que looked at the incense burner now, he didn't see anything unusual.

Lan Yu saw Wang Que looking at the incense burner, and thought that Wang Que was curious, so he said:

"Legend has it that the ancestors of Chenyu Valley would dance around the incense burner. The smoke released after the incense burner was believed to be a carrier of prayers, capable of penetrating the mist and reaching the immortal cave."

"It's a kind of ritual."

"The residents of Qiaoying Village still retain the custom of repairing the incense burner. Tea growers like Uncle Luo regularly offer tea leaves to the incense burner, praying for the immortal power to protect the tea garden."

Wang Que nodded slightly: "It's a very good custom."

Lan Yu smiled and said, "Of course, although this place is under the jurisdiction of Liyue, many customs are still preserved."

As she spoke, she looked up at the sky and said, "It's noon now. How about we go try some of Qiaoying Manor's unique tea and snacks? I'll treat you, so I'll be doing my best to be a good host."

Wang Que naturally wouldn't refuse: "Okay."

The two left the incense burner and walked towards the manor street.

Gradually, more and more people came.

Many small vendors sell tea on the roadside.

There are also many foreign merchants who are selecting the goods they want.

Wang Que vaguely heard the shouts of "Ten boxes at half price".

"In addition to official purchases, the majority of Qiaoyingzhuang's tea is sold by individual tea plantation owners."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that they are just setting up stalls on the roadside. In fact, every family has a tea garden to some extent."

Lan Yu looked at the scene on the street and explained to Wang Que.

Wang Que nodded slightly: "I see."

"Well, don't be fooled by the fact that Qiaoying Manor looks like a farm. In fact, the people here are not poor. The tea plantations that cover the mountains are just like the endless mineral veins in the vast abyss of rocks."

Lan Yu looked out at the tea garden outside Qiaoying Manor.

"They all bring endless wealth to the local people."

After a pause, she continued, "We, the twelve clans, live in Chenyu Valley, and oftentimes, we have to maintain this prosperity."

Wang Que nodded slightly to show his understanding.

This is not surprising.

Just like the alchemist Tianheng, who possesses extraordinary powers, he naturally has to bear the responsibility of clearing out the evil spirits.

Then, the twelve clans of Chenyu Valley should naturally maintain the safety of Chenyu Valley.

However, Wang Que guessed that these twelve clans and the Tianheng alchemists should be similar, both being in a position between humans and immortals.

Just like Tianheng alchemist cannot contact immortals.

The twelve clans should not be able to contact Fu Jin, Ling Yuan and others.

Otherwise, "Silong is in the past, Lingjin is sincere" would not be Ying's turn, and the twelve clans could be solved.

The two chatted as they walked.

Soon they arrived at a teahouse.

When the waiter at the teahouse saw Lan Yu, he immediately smiled ingratiatingly.

"Miss Lan, you're here. Is it still the same seat?"

Lan Yu nodded: "I want to entertain my friends, with the best tea and snacks, so as not to bring shame to our Chenyu Valley."

The waiter's eyes lit up as he looked at Wang Que and immediately said, "So you are the distinguished guests from Liyue Harbor. Please come in, I will make arrangements right away."

Lan Yu didn't order any dishes.

The waiter didn't give any menu.

But Wang Que knew that this meal would probably be very exquisite.

Chapter 183 Refreshments

Just as Wang Que thought,

With Lan Yu's instructions, the snacks served in the teahouse were as exquisite as works of art.

As the exquisite dishes came up one after another, Lan Yu automatically became the tour guide.

"This is Qinghe Pastry. It's filled with candied Nichang flower petals, and the pastry is engraved with lotus patterns. It's lightly sweet without being greasy. Paired with Qiaoyingzhuang's Mingqian Longjing tea, it really brings out the freshness of the tea."

"This is Jade Dew Cream. Jasmine tea dew and crushed white fungus are wrapped in agar jelly. The shape is like a leaf with morning dew. Paired with light mountain tea, it can balance the slightly bitter and sweet taste."

"This is a plum-fragrant hawthorn cake. It's filled with plum puree pickled in the traditional way, and sprinkled with candied roselle pollen. The bright acidity creates a layered contrast with the smoky aroma of Lapsang Souchong. It's also my favorite tea snack."

"Chixia Preserved Fruit Roll, with dried raspberries and crabapples wrapped in rice paper and topped with a light cheese coating, complements the honey-scented finish of Jin Jun Mei."

"Smoked ham puff pastry, made with smoked wild boar meat from Chenyu Valley, diced and wrapped in puff pastry and baked. It's rich and juicy, and drinking it with Pu'er ripe tea can help relieve greasiness and stimulate the appetite."

"..."

Wang Que listened with great interest, his mouth watering and his appetite starting to increase.

Lan Yu looked at Wang Que's interested expression and couldn't help but smile: "The above are just dishes. If you want to taste the real food of Qiaoying Manor, you still have to look at the tea and snacks."

"Hmm? Is there any difference?" Wang Que was a little curious.

What is the difference between refreshments and dishes?

“Although the dishes at Qiaoyingzhuang are closely related to tea, tea is not actually one of the ingredients.”

"And tea cakes are snacks made with real tea leaves."

Lan Yu explained with great pride,

It is indeed a proud thing to introduce local food to friends from other places.

Of course, except for food deserts.

"For example, this is a jasmine oolong tea shortbread. It uses jasmine oolong tea powder as the base. It has a rich tea flavor and is crispy and delicious."

"For example, this black tea pastry square uses premium black tea as its base, and the pastry layer is made with a mixture of coconut powder and black tea powder. It's very vegetarian-friendly."

"And this, the Old White Tea Chiffon Cake. It uses brewed dark amber-colored old white tea instead of milk. The cake has the flavor of aged tea and is perfect with Tremella soup."

"..."

Another introduction.

Wang Que was amazed upon hearing this.

The people of Qiaoying Village have indeed made tea into something special.

There are two major cuisines in Liyue Harbor: Li cuisine and Yue cuisine.

But Wang Que now feels that the tea and snack dishes of Qiaoying Manor are not inferior.

"Haha, after being introduced for so long, I almost forgot we were here for dinner."

As Lan Yu was talking, he suddenly realized that they were not here to visit, but to eat.

He smiled a little embarrassedly, then pulled out a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick holder, boiled them in water, and handed them to Wang Que: "Boss Wang, please have a taste."
