Start daily card draw from Genshin Impact

All I can say is that either the boss opened the store for other purposes and not for the purpose of actually selling things, or... he is just extremely wealthy!

The key is……

"Except for weapons, each person is limited to one purchase of all items in this store?! Isn't this a weapons store? Does it sell other things besides weapons? And the purchase limit is only one. Aren't you afraid of complaints from customers for such a rule?"

"Hehe, that's hard to say!" Xingqiu, who knew the situation better than Chongyun, smiled. He didn't think this rule was excessive, but instead thought it was reasonable.

As the two were chatting, the person who came over with them suddenly let out a cry of surprise, staggered back two steps, and looked at the store with a little panic.

He stretched his head out of curiosity to take a look, and then Xingqiu suddenly put his hand on Chongyun's shoulder, pulled him, pointed inside the store, and said, "Hey, look, what is that?"

"Ok?"

Looking in the direction of Xingqiu's finger, the first thing that caught his eye was a dazzling array of swords and weapons. The cold light was so dazzling that it hurt his eyes. After getting used to it, Chongyun noticed several figures running back and forth busy in the store.

"What is this? A monster? No, this form? A spirit beast? It doesn't look like one either?!"

Squinting his eyes, Chongyun instinctively stepped into the store and got close to the barbarians for a closer observation.

However, just as he raised his foot, he suddenly heard a chirping sound in front of him. Looking down, they noticed that a wild chirper was sitting leisurely behind the doorstep, wearing a small pair of sunglasses that came from nowhere, with its wings folded in its arms, looking at them with a serious expression.

Judging from its expression and movements, it was obviously trying to stop Xingqiu and the others from entering the store.

"Um, this..."

"Chirp, chirp~" Without waiting for Xingqiu to say anything polite, Manjiu raised his hand and calmly pointed at the notice posted nearby. His meaning was quite obvious.

It’s not opening time yet. Come back at nine o’clock.

“This…” Xingqiu and Chongyun looked at each other in bewilderment after understanding what Manjiu meant. Then they bowed slightly and said, “Sorry, we are being presumptuous. We will bother you again after the shop opens at nine o’clock.”

After saying that, Xingqiu pulled Chongyun, turned around and squeezed out of the crowd.

“You two, what’s going on?” Standing on the steps beside the street, Yun Jin saw Xingqiu and Chongyun coming back. She moved closer with lotus steps and said, “I saw there seemed to be some commotion over there just now. Did something happen?”

"It's not a big deal. Some people just thought they saw a monster and got a little scared." Xingqiu explained casually and shrugged. "I can only say that Boss Yu Qi is indeed a bit eccentric."

To be honest, when they first saw the barbarians, they almost thought they were a kind of monster they had never seen before; after all, in this fantasy world, there are all kinds of bizarre monsters.

If Xingqiu remembered correctly, there should be quite a few monsters like the chicks on Xumi. Although they were different in color and size, it was really difficult to tell the difference between them when seeing the Manju for the first time.

"Oh, that's interesting, I'd like to see what that monster looks like!

However, since this store was able to open with the approval of the Seven Stars and even has a relationship with the Immortal, I believe that there will be no situation where monsters are allowed to hurt people."

"I don't care, but I'm more curious about what's going on in this store. If you two have any inside information, please tell me!"

Spreading his hands, Chongyun looked at Xingqiu helplessly, "Don't try to make jokes this time. I asked you several times just now, but you deliberately avoided the question. Do you think it's fun to keep people in suspense like this?"

“Hahaha, oh my, you found out!” Xingqiu smiled heartily without feeling embarrassed after his little trick was exposed. Just as he was about to speak, a dark figure suddenly rushed over to him: “Hey, Xingqiu, Chongyun, Yunjin? Why are the three of you together today? Is there something fun going on?!”

"Hmm? Hu Tao, you are here too? And this must be Zhongli Keqing from Wangsheng Hall, nice to meet you. Are you here to buy things in this store too?"

"Nice to meet you. I have heard of Master Xingqiu of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. I have also heard of Master Chongyun and Mr. Yunjin."

"Young man, I don't deserve this. Thank you for your praise, Mr. Zhongli."

"So it's Mr. Zhongli. I've heard that Mr. Zhongli is well-versed in classics, and I've admired him for a long time. A few days ago, I saw Mr. Zhongli coming to the teahouse to listen to an opera, and I wanted to ask you a few questions, but I didn't have the time. I didn't expect to meet you today by chance."

"That's not the case..." Without paying attention to the politeness of the others, Walnut turned around and looked at the tightly packed shop. She tilted her head and said, "But why are there so many people here? Are they all here to buy things? Why don't they go in?"

"Oh, that's right." After briefly explaining the situation to Hu Tao, Xingqiu spread his hands, full of helplessness: "With those little guys blocking the door, we can't get in even if we want to. As for the others, it's lucky they didn't get scared away."

Hearing this, Hu Tao rolled his eyes and waved his hand carelessly: "It's okay, they are just a few little guys, I'll take you in. Let me tell you, I know the manager of this store very well."

"Ah?" After looking at each other in confusion, Chongyun and Xingqiu hesitated for a moment, but still followed, even though Hu Tao was usually careless and looked unreliable.

But most of the time, she really wouldn't brag. Today, she probably wouldn't do that, right?

Yun Jin, on the other hand, didn't think too much about it. After seeing Zhongli, his eyes lit up. He carefully moved closer and asked him in a low voice about opera knowledge.

Zhongli, naturally, did not hesitate to say a few words and gave Yunjin some pointers, perhaps with the intention of allowing himself to hear better operas in the future.

He walked through the crowd with Xingqiu and the others in a carefree manner. The people around them naturally knew them, and they hurriedly made way for Hu Tao, allowing him to pass all the way to the door of the store.

"Hey, little guy." Hu Tao greeted the doorman, Man Jue, openly. Hu Tao squatted down and stretched out her hand. There was a light in her plum blossom eyes that Man Jue was quite familiar with: "Where is your boss?"

"Chirp, chirp, chirp~"

"Oh, I'm going out for breakfast. Should I let you watch the store here?"

"Chirp~"

"Yeah, I know. It opens after nine o'clock, right? Your boss and I are old acquaintances, so let us in and have a seat first..."

"Tweet?"

"Who am I? My name is Walnut. Why, didn't your boss mention my name to you?"

"Chirp? Chirp..."

"Hey, Hu Tao, is this reliable?!" Looking at Hu Tao who was chatting enthusiastically with Man Jiu, Chongyun carefully approached Xingqiu and asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, let's take a look first."

Just as they finished speaking, a familiar voice suddenly rang out from behind them: "Mr. Yun? Guest Zhongli? Xingqiu? Chongyun? Hutao? Why are you all here?"

"Yan Fei? You're here too?"

Turning his head, he looked at the girl who came out of the crowd with some surprise. Being rejected by the barbarians, Hu Tao, who was sulking, stood up and went to greet them. He didn't notice the little yellow chicken behind him at all. When he heard the name "Yan Fei", there was a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Standing at the door, Zhongli lowered his eyes and looked at Manjiu, who was dragging his chin with his wings and seemed to be in deep thought. A hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

"A delicate creation, a machine? Not really, but it seems to have a breath of life and soul? How interesting."

As for shock? Not at all.

After all, in Teyvat, even elemental creatures, which are pure energy aggregates, can develop intelligence, and even powerful beings like demons can be born, cricket mechanical life forms...

Looking up at the sky, Zhongli's expression became even calmer.

Chapter 69: Helping the family plant vegetables, there will be another chapter later

Wanmin Hall in the early morning was not as lively as expected, perhaps because breakfast was not often served here, or of course it was also possible that Yu Qi and his friends arrived too late.

It's almost eight o'clock, and most people should have finished their meal and gone to work.

Xiang Ling, who was busy cleaning the lobby, was obviously surprised when she saw Yu Qi and Ailxia coming together. Then she hurriedly asked them to sit down.

"Brother Yu, aren't you opening your store today? How come you have time to come to Wanmin Hall?"

Xiang Ling quickly served a pot of tea to Yu Qi and the other person. She did not continue to wipe the table, but sat down next to them.

In the kitchen, Guoba seemed to have heard Yu Qi's voice. He quietly poked his head out to take a look, then rushed out happily, and hugged Yu Qi's calf with his chubby little hands.

"Hurrah~"

Listening to Guoba's cheerful cry, Xiangling glared at him helplessly and muttered, "Guoba, why are you so much more friendly to Brother Yu than to me? If you don't know, you would think you are from Brother Yu's family."

"Lu, lu, lu..." The Guoba shook his chubby head up and down, as if nodding to acknowledge Xiangling's complaints. The frank look made her teeth itch, so she reached out and grabbed the Guoba and rubbed it hard.

Of course, no matter how much they laughed or joked, everyone knew that Guoba was just greedy and didn't really want to abandon Xiangling and follow Yu Qi.

After chatting and laughing for a while, Xiangling put down the rice crust, stood up and brought two baskets of meat buns to Yu Qi and the others, and also brought some rice porridge, side dishes and eggs.

Watching Yu Qi carefully peel the boiled eggs for Alicia and gently put them into her bowl of porridge, Xiang Ling scratched her head in confusion. Looking at the two people beside her, she didn't know why she always felt that the atmosphere between them seemed a little different from what she had seen before, but at the same time, there seemed to be no change.

I wanted to ask, but when the words came to my lips and I was about to say it, I changed my mind.

"By the way, Brother Yu, are you here at Wanmin Hall just for breakfast?"

"Well, not entirely." He took a bite of the big meat bun. Compared to the tasteless meat buns on Earth, Xiangling's buns were full of meaty aroma.

Taking a bite, you will find the thin skin, large filling, delicious and juicy. The fluffy bun has a slight elasticity, and the skin is wrapped with full filling. Chewing it hard in the mouth, the delicate and soft taste makes Yu Qi, who has not tasted this kind of flavor for a long time, can't help but stuff all the remaining meat buns in his hand into his mouth in one bite.

After chewing hard for a few times and swallowing the meat bun in his mouth, Yu Qi took a sip of the porridge, then slowly peeled the eggs and said, "It's like this, I'm short of some ingredients for the blood recovery pills, so I came here to have breakfast."

"Oh, so that's it." She nodded with a look of sudden realization. Having traveled together all the way, Xiang Ling had naturally witnessed the process of Yu Qi refining the blood-restoring pills. After all, those failed products ended up in Guoba's stomach.

Thinking of the detailed ingredients for refining the blood-recovering pill, Xiangling's expression became particularly subtle: "In fact, I have quite a lot of forest pork and seasonings here. If you need them, Brother Yu, I'll sell them to you at cost price. You don't have to go to the market to buy them one by one."

"That won't work." After thinking for a while, Yu Qi shook his head and rejected Xiang Ling's kindness: "I can buy it from you, but I'll pay the normal price. I can't take advantage of you."

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly reached out and took out a piece of old paper: "But speaking of it, I do have something I want to trouble you with, Xiangling."

"Hmm? Brother Yu, you said that as long as it is within my ability, I will definitely do my best."

Looking at Xiang Ling who was pounding her chest, Yu Qi's mouth twitched. He couldn't help but glance at her budding heart, and suddenly felt worried about her future.

If she continues to slap me like this, she won't grow up, right? To raise a child, I'm afraid I'll need to buy some milk powder!

A strange thought flashed through his mind, and Yu Qi handed the paper over calmly, saying, "Xiangling, take it and think of a recipe for a dish in your head, okay? Just an everyday dish that everyone likes."

"One-star card · Blank menu (one-time): A blank menu. After an experienced chef writes a recipe, he can give the recipe a random special effect. The writer automatically gains the ability to make it, but the effect is slightly attenuated (-30%)."

This was what he obtained this morning along with the two 'Grilled Pig Head Slimes' and 'Fruits of Nature'. He had originally intended to write down the recipe for the blood-restoring pill to see if he could get a second similar recipe.

But unfortunately, his idea of ​​exploiting the bug fell through. The recipe of the Blood Recovery Pill could not be written on the blank menu. He didn't know whether it was because the star rating of the Blood Recovery Pill recipe was too high, or because Yu Qi himself was not an 'experienced chef'.

Yu Qi had no choice but to ask Xiangling for help. After all, Xiangling was the only chef he knew, and they had a good relationship. He would not suffer any loss if Xiangling took advantage of him. At most, he could just consider it as repaying Grandma Ping for her help yesterday.

"What a pity! If I could draw a few more, I might be able to remove the effect of the attenuation."

"Recipes for home-cooked dishes?" Xiang Ling took the 'blank recipe' handed over by Yu Qi curiously. After thinking about it, she didn't think Yu Qi was interested in the secret recipes of his own dishes.

After all, there is no secret recipe for his family’s cooking; they are all popular recipes. It’s only because Chef Mao and her cooking skills are so good that they are so popular.

"Let me think about it." Holding the blank menu, Xiangling fell into deep thought. She only knew that there were so many recipes, and it would be a bit troublesome to find one that was more popular with the public.

Her eyes subconsciously wandered over the tabletop, watching Yu Qi and Alysia devouring the steamed buns and rice porridge on the table with relish. Xiangling's thoughts couldn't help but turn to breakfast, and then...

"Ah~" The blank menu in her hand suddenly flashed and disappeared, and Xiangling's thoughts suddenly stopped.

Feeling the information suddenly popping up in her mind, she couldn't help but let out a light cry. Fortunately, Master Mao was busy preparing ingredients for lunch in the kitchen, and there were no other guests in Wanmin Hall, so her exclamation did not attract anyone's attention.

"This, Brother Yu, what is this?!" After carefully reading the recipe of 'Lotus Seed and Poultry Egg Custard' that appeared in her mind, Xiangling's eyes showed shock.

It’s the same ingredients, the same process, and the same cooking method, but this lotus seed and poultry egg custard has the incredible effect of quickly restoring physical strength.

Although she didn't know how fast it was, as Grandma Ping's apprentice, Xiangling immediately thought of the "secret medicine" and "immortal medicine".

Moreover, the information she obtained specifically noted that only the lotus seed and poultry egg custard made by her personally had this miraculous effect. Even if others imitated her process, there would be no special effect.

"This method... is similar to the secret technique of immortals in storybooks!"

Suddenly, she remembered something and couldn't help but look at Yu Qi.

If she remembered correctly, the blood-restoring pill that Yu Qi had made before seemed to be like this. Only the lion head he made was a blood-restoring pill, and the one Xiang Ling imitated him to make was just a simple lion head.

"Brother Yu, can you really teach me this ability? It's too precious!"

Xiang Ling carefully put the blank menu in her hand, which had appeared for some reason, back in front of Yu Qi. She looked at Yu Qi. Although she was reluctant to give up this strange cooking ability, she was not prepared to receive such a great benefit from Yu Qi in vain.

She has taken advantage of Yu Qi a lot along the way, including the kitchen utensils, various medicinal-grade ingredients for food and drink, and a lot of cooking knowledge that she had never heard of. Each one of them is worth a fortune to a chef.

If Xiang Ling were to accept the strange ability bestowed by Yu Qi now, she would not know how to repay his kindness.

"Hahaha, don't be nervous." He picked up the blank menu with a chuckle, looked at the recipe of 'Lotus Seed and Poultry Egg Custard' on the paper, nodded with satisfaction, and then explained everything to Xiangling.

"So, that's how it is!" Xiang Ling heaved a sigh of relief. Although she still felt that she had gotten a huge advantage, her expression was much more relaxed. After silently keeping Yu Qi's kindness in her heart, she stood up excitedly and rushed to the kitchen.

"Brother Yu, wait a minute. I'll try to make it. Hehe, a recipe that can rival elixir, I wonder what it will taste like!"

Looking at Xiangling who hurried into the kitchen, Yu Qi smiled and shook his head, looked down at the menu in his hand, then... folded it and stuffed it into his mouth.

Yes, that's how this blank menu is used.

"It's dry and astringent, not very tasty; and also..." After carefully tasting the paper scraps in his mouth, Yu Qi's expression was a little subtle: "The taste of Xiangling~ Tsk, come to think of it, this thing I'm eating is considered leftovers, right?"

After all, the "first bite" had actually been eaten by Xiangling, the writer. The menu that Yu Qi was eating now could even be said to have been spit out from her "mouth"!

In a sense, it can really be considered leftovers.

Just as he was thinking, Yu Qi suddenly felt an idea move, and a ray of light suddenly flashed on the recipe of 'Lotus Seed and Poultry Egg Custard' that appeared in his mind, as if something had changed. Then the recipe of Blood Recovery Pill also suddenly appeared, and it became entangled with the Lotus Seed and Poultry Egg Custard.

After waiting for a while, when everything settled down, Yu Qi looked at the almost completely different 'Lotus Seed and Poultry Egg Custard' recipe in his mind with a strange expression.

"No, it can be like this?!"
