Chapter 167: As usual, send the bill to the Hall of Rebirth
"Since I'm treating you to a meal, how about you order the food?"
In the private room, Zhongli and Xia Yu sat opposite each other. The waiter was waiting on the side. After taking the menu, Zhongli handed it to Xia Yu and said.
Seeing this, Xia Yu waved his hand and said, "You are more familiar with this place than I am. How would I know which dishes are delicious? Just come."
Hearing this, Zhongli did not refuse, handed the menu to the waiter, and said calmly: "In that case, let's do it the same as before, and give us two more jars of the best wine."
The waiter took the menu and a look of joy appeared on his face. He nodded and hurried out.
Feeling Zhongli's values of wanting the best in everything, Xia Yu's mouth twitched. He thought of Zhongli's personality of never carrying money, and couldn't help asking.
“You are so rich?”
"Um?"
It seemed that he didn't expect Xia Yu to ask such a question. Zhongli's face, which had always been expressionless, showed a hint of confusion, but he quickly regained his composure.
"It doesn't matter. Money has never been a problem for me."
“…”
This is as annoying as "I've never touched money and I'm not interested in money!"
It’s just that one really thinks so, and the other is just pretending to be Versailles.
In a short while, all kinds of gorgeous delicacies, big and small, were served on the table. Each dish was delicious in color, aroma and taste, and it whetted one's appetite at first sight.
"Why is there no seafood?" Xia Yu smiled secretly in his heart and asked knowingly, "It's the kind of slippery, fishy, and wet seafood."
Zhongli: “…”
He had just picked up the chopsticks, but suddenly he had no appetite.
Seeing this rare scene, Xia Yu tightened his face, afraid that he would laugh out loud, and then hurriedly turned on the camera function of the chat group and took a picture of this scene.
This must be kept as a commemoration. Not only did it take advantage of Yan Shen's meal, it also made Yan Shen unable to eat.
After the dishes were served, the two of them ate and chatted, mainly Zhongli talking about the history of the founding of Liyue and the changes in the times in the continent of Teyvat over the past thousand years.
In a short while, most of the dishes on the table went into Xia Yu's stomach. Although these dishes were not as good as the cooking of zombie Xia Yu, they tasted good.
Xia Yu enjoyed this meal, which was a great relief for both of them. He was even happier when he saw Zhongli had no appetite.
After eating and drinking, the waiter brought the bill. Zhongli just took a look at it and handed it back.
"As usual, send the bill to the Hall of the Dead."
"Okay, Mr. Zhongli." The waiter left with the bill again.
Looking at such a smooth payment method, Xia Yu just wanted to say, you are worthy of it, and the leader of Hu Tao Hall cried.
"Now that we have finished our meal, let's say goodbye..."
“Hey, wait.” Xia Yu stretched out his hand to stop Zhongli from saying anything. Under Zhongli’s puzzled gaze, Xia Yu raised the corner of his mouth and said, “I just came out. Anyway, you seem to be quite free. Why don’t you be my guide and introduce Liyue to me?”
"Hmm..." Zhongli did not immediately refuse Xia Yu's shameless request, but stopped to think.
After thinking for a moment, he raised his head and said, "Okay, then follow me."
Seeing that Zhongli really agreed, Xia Yu was surprised, but he quickly reacted and hurriedly followed Zhongli's pace. He must be the first person to have Prince Yan as a guide.
Besides, he didn't have anything else to do, so it might not be a bad idea for him to follow the other party around Liyue.
After following Zhongli around a part of Liyue, Xia Yu couldn't help but sigh that Zhongli was indeed the biggest loser in the entire Liyue.
He could talk about every scenic spot in Liyue in detail and had his own unique insights. With Zhongli's introduction, he also learned a lot about the beautiful scenery of Liyue and also learned a lot of allusions.
“And this is the story of this stone bridge.”
In front of a towering stone bridge, Zhongli spoke to Xia Yu, who nodded in agreement.
I have to say that Zhongli is quite good at telling stories. He didn't find it boring at all and those stories seemed as if he were actually there.
If Zhongli is really a guide, he is definitely a gold medal guide.
At this moment, a woman whose dress was out of place in Liyue seemed to notice Zhongli who was still talking. Her eyes lit up and she hurried over.
"Hello, Mr. Zhongli, I am Nadia from the Fatui. The young master has already booked a private room in the Glazed Pavilion and asked me to invite you over first."
Being interrupted like this, Zhongli stopped his science popularization, but he also remembered that he seemed to still have a job.
He attached great importance to the contract and naturally did not want to violate the agreement, so he looked at Xia Yu and said, "I'm sorry, I still have work to do, so I can't continue to be your guide for the time being."
"No problem." Xia Yu waved his hand in understanding, but then asked curiously, "Work?"
"Ordinary people have jobs, and I am no exception."
“…Ordinary people.”
"Ahem." Nadia suddenly coughed lightly, interrupting their conversation, "Sir, Mr. Zhongli has already made an appointment with our executive officer, Mr. Gongzi, so he has to go."
Hearing this, Zhongli nodded. Just as he was about to speak, Xia Yu said in advance: "I have nothing to do anyway, so you don't mind having me here with you, right?"
"this……"
Nadia was speechless for a moment, but Zhongli came to the rescue and said, "He is an old acquaintance of mine. This is just an ordinary job. There is no problem with one more person."
"Okay then." Nadia took a deep breath and cleared her mind, "Please follow me, both of you."
Although they had just had a meal at Liuliting, both of them were not ordinary people, so it was not impossible to have another meal.
And it seemed like someone was treating them this time, and Zhongli unceremoniously ordered a bunch of expensive delicacies, which made Xia Yu feel pity for someone's wallet.
From now on, someone will become Zhongli's first wallet, and Wangshengtang will also step down and become the second wallet.
Because the person who invited Zhongli had not arrived yet, Zhongli did not start eating first. Instead, he made himself a cup of fragrant tea, and slowly savored it while waiting.
Xia Yu also learned to make himself a cup of tea. Just at this moment, a greeting came from the door.
“Yo!”
A young man wearing a grey coat and a red scarf on his shoulders walked in, greeting her. He had orange hair and beautiful sky blue eyes.
At the same time, following him in was a young man with long golden hair. The boy was dressed coolly, with a white scarf hanging on his shoulders, and a small mascot floating next to his head.
The young man followed in while looking around. The leading young man saw that in addition to Zhongli, there was another unfamiliar stranger. Although he was a little surprised, he quickly returned to his normal expression.
"Who is this friend?"
"He is an old acquaintance of mine. He came here just to see my work. Does this not affect my work?"
Zhong Li opened his mouth and said to the young master. Hearing this, the young master laughed and said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. The more friends the better."
As he spoke, he also introduced the blond boy: "Let me introduce you, this friend is a Taoist, a guest official of the Wangsheng Hall, Mr. Zhongli."
