Chapter 426: Treasure Stealing Group and Dog
"Wow, is this Shimen? It looks very prosperous." Ying sighed as he looked at Shimen, an important trade node between Liyue and Mondstadt.
She had been in Mondstadt for a while, but couldn't find her brother. After meeting many friends, she learned that Liyue's annual ceremony to invite the immortals would be held in more than two months. So she said goodbye to her friends in Mondstadt and prepared to go to Liyue to ask the Prince of Geo if he knew any information about her brother.
So after visiting Master Diluk, the "man of justice", he followed the caravan of Dawn Winery and prepared to head to Liyue.
However, the caravan from Chenxi Winery will stay in Shimen to rest for a while, so Ying is ready to set off first.
It is relatively safe near the stone gate. There are Thousand Rock Army patrolling around, so the surrounding hillbillies and other monsters have been cleared out long ago.
"Paimon, what is that, a new monster?"
"It looks like a young rock dragon lizard!" Paimon exclaimed, "This is a dragon-type monster unique to the Liyue region. It's very difficult to deal with. Why don't we avoid it?"
"Leave it to me." Ying raised the edgeless sword in his hand and said with a smile, "I am the honorary knight of Mondstadt."
After a fierce battle, the young rock dragon lizard turned into black ashes and drifted away in the wind.
"See! I told you I can beat it." Ying said with a grin, "But this young rock dragon lizard is really hard to beat, mainly because it likes to burrow underground and roll around, which is quite annoying."
"Wow~ Ying is really amazing." Pai Meng exclaimed.
"What are the materials for these monsters called?" Ying asked.
"It's a monster material called bone fragment, which symbolizes the power of dragon." Paimon said, "It is still divided into three levels according to quality, namely [Fragile], [Strong] and [Petrified]. The dragon power contained in it also increases with the improvement of quality."
"It's really magical." Ying sighed and put the monster materials into her package.
Her space package was opened after she gained the elemental power, and the space was unexpectedly large, much larger than the space contained in the local God's Eye.
"What's going on with that tall tree?" After Ying climbed over a hill, she saw a big tree standing on the plain in the distance.
"Oh~ That one, it's an important node on an important trade route and the largest inn in all of Teyvat, Wangshu Inn."
"And the almond tofu there is also unique . Just thinking about it makes my mouth water."
"Hmm~"
"Let's get there before dark," Paimon said.
"It seems that we can't make it in time." Ying estimated the distance and struck.
"Then we can only look around to see if there are any small villages or something like that. I'll fly higher and take a look." Paimon said as he flew a little higher.
"We found a small village over there. Let's go over and take a look. I saw someone who seemed to need help." Paimon said after landing.
"It looks like there's a man trapped on a rock by a dog. Let's go see what's going on."
"Oh! Lord Yan bless you, little girl, listen to me and don't go over there." A fat young man shouted loudly.
"What's wrong?" Ying came over curiously.
"That boy's name is Huizi. He's a famous interceptor in our village. Recently I heard that he joined some treasure-stealing group. I don't know what he did after he came back, but he was chased and bitten by Dazhuang." Hulu said.
"Oh~ Da Zhuang is the dog." Hulu added, "He is blocked and can't get down."
"I am a traveler from Mondstadt. Here is my voucher. May I stay here for one night? If there are no vacant rooms, I can set up a tent outside." Ying took out a voucher and handed it to the tavern owner named Hulu. There was also the seal of Shimen Qianyan Army on the voucher.
Hulu hesitated for a moment and said.
"It should be no problem. I'll talk to the village chief later. Although there are indeed not many empty houses in the village, there are still quite a few vacant lots."
"Besides, we are under the watchful eye of Lord Yan here. I believe you won't cause trouble for no reason."
Ying followed the direction of the gourd's finger and actually saw a well-maintained statue of the Seven Heavens God.
This statue is very different from Wendy's statue. The one above is actually sitting.
"This Prince Yan looks so arrogant." Ying muttered to herself.
After a while, Hulu came back and said that the village chief had agreed to Ying's request to stay overnight and asked her to just set up a tent near Hulu's house.
…
midnight.
"Wow, Traveler, isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Paimon said cautiously.
"I want to try if I can resonate with the Seven-Day Statue of the God of Rock." Ying said.
When Ying's hand touched the Seven-Day Statue of Lord Rock and resonated with the rock element, Zhongli, who was having supper with Banjiao Erxing, suddenly froze.
"Mr. Zhongli, what's wrong? Is it not to your liking?" asked Su Erniang, who was selling Central Plains offal.
Zhongli shook his head and said, "It's nothing. It tastes great. It's very authentic Central Plains offal."
Su Erniang breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought there was something wrong with this Central Plains bastard, I'm glad he's alright."
Su Erniang is an old neighbor who sells Central Plains offal in Huyan. It is the best snack stand serving Central Plains offal.
Even if you open a stall next to Wanmin Hall, there is a constant stream of people.
The daily business profit is even higher than that of Wanmin Hall.
After all, Wanmintang serves dine-in food, so the cost is lower than hers and she makes more money from running a small stall.
However, the reputation of Wanmin Tang is beyond the reach of Su Erniang. Wanmin Tang can be said to be the leader of the popular food in Chihuyan.
It is a three-star hotel certified by the Gourmet Association.
There are different certifications for chefs: entry-level, intermediate, senior and special level. Restaurants use star rating as the basis for certification.
The highest is four stars, and there are only two in the whole of Liyue, Xinyuexuan representing Yuecai and Liuliting representing Licai.
There are only two remaining three-star hotels in Liyue, namely Wanmin Hall and Wangshu Inn. However, there are quite a lot of one-star and two-star hotels in Liyue.
Four-star hotels are those that have integrated local cultural masterpieces and require at least one top-notch chef to be in charge all year round, such as Inazuma's Uyuutei.
Three-star ratings require the presence of a top-notch chef and a senior chef all year round, with their own specialty dishes, such as Liyue's Manmin Hall, Mondstadt's Deer Hunter, and Inazuma's Shimuraya.
A two-star restaurant is required to have a mid-level chef on duty all year round, and the chef must know most basic recipes and have one or two signature dishes.
One-star level refers to those who are particularly skilled in one or two specialties. For example, someone like Su Erniang who opens a store specializing in selling Central Plains offal can also become a one-star store. Similar ones include Chen Kuaidao who sells tiger fish.
