Chapter 96 Drinks
......
Liyue, Yunhan Society.
"Good morning, brother Zhongli. How are you doing recently?"
On the VIP platform on the second floor, Zhongli was stunned when he saw Yixi jumping up from the railing in front of him. He smiled and raised his hand to ask him to sit down:
"Good afternoon, everything is the same as before."
Then Yixi sat down on the other side. A cup of tea on the middle table was fragrant, giving people peace of mind, which was in sharp contrast to the loud gongs and drums below.
He took a sip and tasted it calmly. Although it was not as good as Fulong, the surrounding environment added a different charm to it.
"Since you are here, it means that Mr. Yun's play will be performed today, right?"
"Zhong came here specially for this. Mr. Yun's play is unique in Liyue. It would be a pity to miss it. It just so happens that Mr. Yun has a new opera performance today. My friend came at the right time."
Zhongli's words were full of praise for him. Yixi was assured of his taste and just listened to it. Maybe he didn't understand, but there was no need to worry about no one to explain it.
After all, Mr. Zhongli, who was sitting next to him, was a man who was well-versed in ancient and modern times and had profound knowledge.
In Liyue, he wants to be second, so I, Yixi, have to stand up and claim first place, and thank Mr. Zhongli for abdicating.
Zhongli:?
"Here I am."
As people cheered, Yunjin walked onto the stage with steady steps.
Her phoenix eyes were perfectly made, and her mysterious figure attracted attention.
Yixi was stunned when she saw this. How could this accompaniment and this glance back look so much like...
"But - sigh -"
"Goddess Splitting the View?"
Yixi sat up, staring at the stage with surprise and joy, her eyebrows full of excitement.
"Oh? Have you heard of Mr. Yun's new opera?"
Yixi nodded. Not only had she heard it, but she had heard it many times. This is a national-level opera:
"I have heard a little bit about it, and I was thinking that I regretted missing Yunjin's opera in the Qunyu Pavilion. I didn't expect to hear it here."
"This is very good, and it is worth the trip."
After that, Zhongli and Yixi took up the teacup and blew it together, quietly appreciating it.
Come to think of it, it makes sense. Qun Yu Pavilion is not for ordinary people to go. Naturally, the invited guests were all dignitaries.
And such a wonderful opera must be sung for ordinary people from time to time when it returns to Yunhan Society, so that it can be passed down.
"Why doesn't your Hu Tao come with you?"
At this time, Zhongli frowned a few pixels, thinking that it might just be a greeting, so he replied:
"Hall Master Hu is lively and active by nature. Opera is more of a pastime in her spare time. Naturally, she is not interested."
"I can see it, so where is she now?"
Hearing this, Zhongli glanced at Yi Xi. What exactly do you want to do by asking these questions? ?
"Maybe she is distributing flyers for the Hall of Rebirth somewhere."
"Well~ I understand. In fact, I am almost the same person."
Zhongli drank a sip of tea silently. He had seen it a long time ago, but at least you are now...
Yi Xi smiled evilly at Zhongli, stood up and jumped out of Yunhan Society on the second-floor fence.
Silence for a while, aren't you very interested in this play? Why did you leave?
Well, he's not here, so I can calm down and enjoy the show.
...
"Wow, it's so lively here, and Yunjin is singing on the stage!"
Zhongli heard a familiar voice from the crowd below, walked to the fence blankly, stopped to watch, and then was stunned.
At the back of the crowd, Hu Tao, with a pair of particularly conspicuous white legs, was riding on Yi Xi's shoulders and watching the show excitedly, with the best view of the whole audience.
"Well, the show we're singing today is based on a true story, the Goddess Splitting the View, which is second only to the most popular actress. Hasn't Hu Tao been here before?"
As Yi Xi said this, she didn't forget to look back at Zhongli on the second floor, but was blocked by a piece of fragrant white snow, so she didn't look at him anymore.
"Oh, don't mention it. Zhongli comes here frequently, and he always orders several pots of expensive tea. It's better for you not to bring me along."
"That's right. After the opera, I'll take you to eat delicious food. We won't bring Zhongli along either!"
"Okay!"
On the second floor, Zhongli sat back down with a frown on his face. He knew that it was no good to meet this guy. He thought he would suddenly speak human language.
I just knew that they were in a hurry and no longer had the heart to listen to the opera.
The waiter: This guy evaded the ticket, and brought a girl with him. That's fine. Now you are afraid that others can't see what you are doing?
...
Liyue, Wanmin Hall.
"Boss, all the signature dishes..."
In Wanmin Hall, Yixi looked at the beautiful woman in front of him with an ethereal and cold temperament, and was very surprised.
Hu Tao looked back and forth between the two motionless people and asked:
"Yi Xi, do you know each other?"
"Maybe I have seen her somewhere before. Bring me all the signature dishes."
Shen He came back to his senses and nodded:
"Okay."
Shen He took a last look at Yi Xi and turned to the kitchen to tell her.
Yi Xi thought that she should be working in Wanmin Hall. It was really unexpected, but it was okay. This was her first step to integrate into the world.
"Here are the dishes you ordered."
After a while, Shen He served the dishes one by one and then continued to wait for the guests to call.
Yi Xi felt relieved when she saw this scene. Isn't it good? But her expression was too cold.
"Yi Xi, do you really not know each other? She seems to be looking at you all the time."
Hu Tao asked Yi Xi in a low voice. Yi Xi turned her head and looked. Shen He stared at her directly without any hesitation.
Not only that, when he saw Yi Xi looking at him, Shen He immediately stepped forward and asked:
"Is there anything else you want?"
Yi Xi thought, could it be that I underestimated Shen He? Although it was a misunderstanding, she is actually very good at observing people's expressions?
When she saw the customer turn to her, she knew that there must be some demand. As for what Hu Tao said, it might just be a coincidence.
"Well... are there any drinks here besides wine?"
Anyway, I can't let people down. Then I saw Shen He walking straight to the counter, and I was confused.
It seems... I haven't ordered anything yet.
Soon, in the surprised eyes of Yi Xi and Hu Tao, Shen He brought a tray with various drinks to Yi Xi:
"These are all, which one do you want?"
Yi Xi and Hu Tao beside her looked at each other, and it was obvious that she was also confused.
Actually, if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong. Compared with the names on the menu, this can directly present the most real side of the drinks to the guests.
I can't help but praise Shen He's approach in my heart, which is the best of both worlds.
Of course, there is also my problem. People who come here are usually regulars, and they will order whatever they want to drink.
But the key is that I don't know what each of these is when I come here for the first time, and even if I know, I haven't tasted it.
After a little thought, considering that Shen He was new to the world, Yi Xi planned to use the most direct way, pointing to a cup and asking her:
"Is this good?"
Hearing this, Shen He took the cup that Yi Xi pointed to and took a sip to taste it, shaking his head:
"I think it's just so-so, too sweet."
"......"
Yi Xi was silent for a while, it turns out you don't know either, after this experience, you will know the taste in the future, and give Shen He a thumbs up again.
But this is not a solution, after thinking about it, he said:
"Then just give me a cup that you think is the best."
"Okay, wait a minute."
Shen He tasted one cup after another, carefully compared one or two, and then brought one of the cups to Yi Xi and left.
Yi Xi was silent again, you haven't tried any of them? !
No, the remaining ones can't be sold either, so she reached out to stop Shen He:
"Wait, bring all those cups to me, I want to try them all."
"Okay."
At the table, Hu Tao was eating while looking at Yi Xi who was drinking silently, but she still felt something was wrong.
Turning her head to look at Shen He, she was still looking at Yi Xi...
"Yi Xi, do you really not know each other? She is still looking at you."
"Really?"
So Yi Xi looked again, and then Shen He came over again:
"Do you want any more?"
"......"
Yi Xi fell silent several times during the short meal, forget it:
"I don't know if it's my illusion, you seem to be looking here all the time, is there any reason?"
"I'm looking at you, you give me a different feeling from others, but I can't tell, my name is Shen He, I'm a lonely person, what about you?"
"Yi Xi."
"Okay, I remember, call me anytime if you need anything."
After saying that, Shen He went back to look again, and Yi Xi continued to drink the drink.
Maybe... I'm just too handsome, and Shen He's worldly experience is not even comparable to that otaku girl Inazuma, which is normal.
