Genshin Impact, I, a weak person, am challenging myself to find a solution that will bring me lifelo

"Ms. Youya, is this really your first time working in the bartending industry? Even what you just said is... very interesting."

“It’s definitely my first time to actually do it myself. But in theory, I’ve rehearsed it in my mind many times, and a bard also gave me some good inspiration.”

"Oh? What did he say?"

"Hehe. It's not something particularly professional. If I had to say it, it's more like an expression of emotion from the perspective of my favorite food."

Youya picked up the remaining apple slices, bit into the flesh with a "ahh", and after swallowing it with satisfaction, she continued.

"Yeah. He said, 'Freshly picked apples are crisp and sweet, this is a gift from God!' And I think what he said makes sense, and I really want to try apple tea, or what apple wine tastes like?

Is it possible to add some novelty or a different taste experience on the existing basis?

The most important thing is, how to make it a best-selling product?

So, a drink that can ensure normal drinking without getting tired of it, and also has a good hangover effect, so that drunks don’t fall asleep on the side of the road, or quarrel with their families because of alcohol after returning home, is also my answer to this problem. "

These incomprehensible words made Kaeya and Diluk, who were watching from the side, nod their heads uncontrollably.

And Eula held her forehead slightly. It was really frustrating to be a younger sister who was more reliable than her.

"I see..." Charles nodded: "Miss Youya has considered it very carefully. No wonder Master Cripps favors you so much."

He sighed as if he felt frustrated and put down the cup in his hand. The ice cubes inside echoed crisply, reflecting his somewhat complicated expression.

“If, for an excellent bartender, in reality, when facing some customers’ personalized orders, such as a stronger or a more sour drink, he only needs to add the corresponding flavor ingredients. The rest is to master the skills of chatting with customers…

But if you want to successfully develop a new product, you need to go beyond this level and consider the concentrated needs and spiritual comfort of customer groups more intuitively.

It is with this philosophy that Mr. Cripps has made Château Dawn steadily occupy the top position in the Mond wine industry.”

He sighed deeply.

“At first, I thought Master Cripps wanted to provide a little help to the young master’s friend.

But now it seems that he is willing to support Miss Youya so much. I think it is because Master Cripps sees the reflection of his past in you.

On the other hand, I have worked in a bar for so many years, dealing with alcohol and people all day long, but not only did I fail to understand this idea, I became even more dull and lost my former sharpness.

I was sent here this time to remind me not to dwell too much on the night of the past, but to look up and gaze at the dawn of the new life."

Charles's behavior made Youya a little confused. Didn't she just make a glass of non-alcoholic apple wine?

How come I can't help but blurt out so many words after drinking this cup?

It seems that even a bartender who often deals with alcohol and customers has accumulated considerable pressure beneath his seemingly elegant appearance.

Charles left.

He said that he had some new ideas and wanted to try them himself, so that he could serve Master Cripps a glass of wine he had mixed himself before he left.

Youya also heard his story from Diluk.

The other party was born in Qingquan Town. He was also a famous hunter when he was young. Most of the hunting gains were exchanged for wine, and he was a regular customer in the tavern.

Until one time before hunting, he got drunk and accidentally shot a pregnant wild boar, which caused the local wild boars to become restless.

The large number of wild boars destroyed the village beyond recognition, and the food, houses, and drinking water areas were all severely damaged. If the local hunters had not issued timely warnings and asked the villagers to evacuate, there would have been no casualties.

Otherwise Charles would feel even more guilty and regretful.

But despite this, he was still expelled from the hunter organization in Qingquan Town. Shooting pregnant female animals or nursing cubs has always been a strict prohibition among hunters.

Not to mention that Charles was shot and killed after drinking too much, which is a completely negative role model.

Charles, who was living on the streets, received help from Mr. Cripps at this time and became a bartender in a tavern.

“To borrow a phrase I like to use—” Yuya stated, “One thing led to another, and then boom, I was mixing drinks.”

"It seems that in addition to her talent in this area, Miss Youya also has a talent for being a bartender!"

Kaiya leaned his hand on the table, smiling playfully.

Diluk was leaning to the side, still holding the glass of apple wine in his hand. He seemed to be simply in a daze, and seemed to be missing something.

Only Youla sat in front of the stage, looking directly at Youya with a slightly red cheek.

"Can I have another drink?"

"Of course. How about taking this opportunity to try something fun?"

Youya leaned forward slightly.

"Play?"

"Yes. Name a non-alcoholic drink after yourself. Of course, if Sister Eula doesn't like it, you can use something else instead."

"But why?"

"Well... just think of it as an inspiration from Master Cripps. At that time, I actually wanted to order a drink with my name on it. After doing such an incredible heroic act, I should leave myself some memory, right?"

Youya looked at her with a gentle smile.

“It’s like a legend!”

"Is that so..." Eula's eyes lit up, and she said, "Then - Eula Lawrence. Coffee in a small cup with sparkling water, ice, and a little water."

"Oh? Why do you have to add water? Wouldn't it taste terrible?"

Kaia glanced over curiously.

"It's none of your business." Sister Eula replied bluntly.

And Youya naturally didn't ask any more questions and just finished making the cup of coffee as she wanted.

The combination of ice cubes, sparkling water and coffee creates a powerful taste, with a bitter taste, novelty and a hint of rebellion against the world's common judgment.

Chapter 114 Frederica

After Eula took the lead, Diluk soon joined in.

To be precise, he already had this intention, so when asked whether to use a name or a title, he refused the name without much hesitation and chose to use the nickname "Cangu Sunset" instead.

The cup size is optional, and it is made by mixing three kinds of juices without adding additional sugar.

It doesn't sound like a choice a winery heir would make.

However, Youya still tried her best to prepare this fresh juice for him. Even if she did nothing, this kind of juice mixture would not be too bad as long as the fruit was fresh enough.

But in order to reflect the novelty, Youya also slightly adjusted the ratio when mixing the juice to make the taste smoother and fully incorporate the bartender's intentions.

After taking it, Diluk drank it without thinking, and at the same time, as if part of his true feelings were squeezed out, he spoke out.

"...Cangu Sunset is the first drink I made."

Youya looked at him with gentle eyes, while sister Youla, who was supporting her cheek on the other side, also listened with her ear slightly tilted.

Kaia stood aside with his arms folded. The light in the room was warm and soft, making people intoxicated in such a warm atmosphere.

"When I was little, my father laid out several materials and asked me to try them myself."

Diluk sighed slightly.

"There was no request or prompt, and I didn't think about it as much as Miss Youya did. In the end, all I made was a glass of juice like this."

"Why?"

Youya asked as he expected.

"My father was also surprised. But at the time, I didn't consider other factors. I just knew that the juice was sweet. Now that I think about it, that was such a naive and short-sighted understanding..."

Diluk stared at the orange juice in the cup and said self-deprecatingly.

“Especially after the attack by the Demon Dragon Usa, I have always had a vague feeling that… I don’t seem to yearn for being a knight as much as I thought.

Although compared to the past, the predecessors of the Knights whom I respected particularly highly have praised and expected me, any explanation I make for this will be regarded as excessive modesty.

Some even asked me what it felt like to be such a young hero..."

Everyone was silent for a moment.

It seems that no one has taken into account that the highly anticipated party also has such pressure in his heart.

"I didn't answer them, but I couldn't help but feel disgusted...

Of course, I know it's not a good thing to say this. It's a betrayal of others' trust, and I shouldn't talk about them behind their backs.

However, I really cannot accept taking someone else's glory for myself, or even actively welcoming this false halo."

Diluk took a deep breath, his eyes determined.

"The knight I want to be is one who protects Mondstadt and brings the dawn to others. Not a fake one created out of hype. If a knight cannot do this, then I should leave him behind."

As if to show his determination, he drank the Cang Gu Luo Ri in one gulp. Then, he looked at everyone and spoke sincerely.

"I hope you can bear witness to this commitment until I burn to ashes for this ideal—"

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Diluk. Thank you for taking on this burden for me and Sister Eula."

Youya's tone was equally serious, and Youla just turned her head away silently. After staring at him for a moment, she said "hmm" softly.

It seemed like an agreement, but also like an expression of gratitude.

As for Kaeya, as Diluk's sworn brother, he naturally would not remain silent. He casually hooked his arm around his brother's neck and started joking with him after a few words.

However, when Yuya asked him if he also needed a drink.

Kaiya did not hesitate, but said directly: "No. I haven't done anything commendable yet, and compared to non-alcoholic drinks, alcoholic drinks are more in line with the feeling I give people, right?"

He blinked slyly, as if deliberately whetting others' appetite.

"So, I'll put this cup off for now. I'll tell you when I've thought it through."

After this--

After mixing several more fruit drinks, Youya wrote down all her ideas and recipes and took them to the tavern.

Charles was working as a bartender at the time, and when he saw the girl, he nodded slightly and greeted her.

This aroused some curiosity in a lady who happened to be sitting at the bar. She had her hair tied in a high ponytail, and under the slightly soft light in the pub, her hair looked like fine gold.

She has a pretty face, a plump figure, and eyes as blue as a lake of wine. There is always an inexplicable sense of familiarity when she is called Youya...

Especially the contradictory temperament of being gentle yet also having the majesty of a superior without getting angry, after being harmoniously mixed with each other, it finally presents a feeling of both benevolence and steadiness.

It seems more like I’ve seen it somewhere before, but it’s not so...complete?

When Youya looked at her secretly, she also responded to the girl's attention.

The first impression was pity, followed by appreciation, and then a change of expression to a slightly serious one.

She said, "Child, this is not the place for you to come in, look over there-"

She pointed to a sign hanging behind Charles that prohibited the sale of alcohol to minors.

When Charles reacted and was about to defend Youya, he saw his own master Kaiya winking at him, signaling him to just watch the show.

Even Master Diluk seemed to agree. Of course, they both knew this lady who, despite having two daughters, still maintained an exceptionally good figure and appearance.

However, it would be better to let Youya take on this level.

Yuya realized what her companions meant at this moment and pretended to be a little nervous.

"S-Sorry! But I didn't come here to drink..."

Only then did Eula realize something from her sister's sudden change in attitude. After carefully looking at the person in front of her, she showed an expression of realization.

Of course she knew this lady who looked more like a knight than a noble lady.

In fact, to some extent, she was the mountain that Wes had set for Eula when she was a child, a mountain that she had to overcome.

Lady Frederica from the Gunhild family is not only the current patriarch of this ancient knight family, but also Yuya's friend and the mother of Barbara and Jean.

Even though Simon Page was once an adventurer famous throughout the continent, he eventually entered the family as a son-in-law rather than marrying the beauty.

It is said that Ms. Frederica was extremely strict with her family, which was one of the reasons why she and her lover eventually parted ways.

But if we put aside this marriage and just look at her as an individual.

Ms. Frederica was very good. Her beauty was self-evident. Her genes were strong, as could be seen from Barbara and Jean. More importantly, she also had a knightly resume, which could even be described as glamorous.

The previous "Dandelion Knight" was none other than her. During her tenure, the crime rate in the entire Mondstadt was at its lowest ever. Under her rule, any villain lived in fear all day long.

In other words, this is a lady who is as majestic and powerful as the Lion King.
