Keqing followed Lumine and little Paimon’s footsteps.
Winding their way~ heading towards the end of Chihu Rock.
Keqing was somewhat puzzled.
Usually, she would have some patrol duties, yet she had never heard of a Huaxia restaurant at the end of Chihu Rock.
And this Huaxia cuisine…
a name she had never heard of before.
However, she learned from Lumine.
It turned out that this Boss Lin also came from another world.
No wonder it was a cuisine she had never heard of!
Although Keqing was noble as the Yuheng of the Liyue Qixing.
But she had also gone shopping with Lumine a few times~
Paimon very actively flew to her side, holding onto Keqing’s arm.
“Hehe, Keqing’s skin is so well-maintained. This arm is even softer and more tender than the Traveler’s~~”
This little fellow Paimon.
A pair of soft pink little hands slid back and forth on Keqing’s arm like they were ice skating.
“I’m very curious, Keqing usually stays up late often. How do you maintain your skin?” Lumine also asked.
As expected~
At this age, what young girl wouldn’t love beauty?
Xiangling, who everyone claims isn’t sexy, would also secretly apply cucumber slices at night!
To say Keqing wouldn’t maintain her skin, how is that possible!
But when she heard that Keqing liked to bathe in milk and roses, Lumine felt inferior…
QAQ After all, the inn didn’t have such conditions!!
“I didn’t expect Keqing to be quite refined~”
“I heard that ‘Xinyue Kiosk’ launched a kind of beauty-enhancing ingredient. Many girls went to eat it. Not only is it expensive, but the effect is also average, yet it sells so well!!”
As soon as Lumine said this.
Keqing sighed.
“Recently, I have received many complaints from ordinary folks about ‘Xinyue Kiosk’, saying their beauty ingredients have absolutely no effect and are disconnected from the market price.”
“However, the people at Xinyue Kiosk also have case studies showing that it can have a certain effect as long as it’s eaten long-term, so it’s hard for us to make a decision.”
Keqing looked a bit helpless as she expressed her thoughts.
“I think beauty ingredients certainly exist, but that price and effect are completely disproportionate.”
Lumine and Paimon nodded repeatedly!!
They felt that Keqing made a lot of sense.
“Exactly!! 150,000 Mora is really too exaggerated. It’s not even as delicious as Boss Lin’s bowl of fried rice for 600 Mora.”
“Yes, Boss Lin’s shop is just ahead~~”
Paimon and Lumine really had completely become Boss Lin’s little fangirls.
Lumine led Keqing, quickening their pace a bit.
Soon, they stood in front of Lin Xiao’s shop.
Keqing’s red lips parted slightly, somewhat surprised.
“When did this open here…”
She didn’t expect that at the end of this Chihu Rock street, there was actually a restaurant whose decoration style perfectly matched her aesthetics.
The detailed decoration of the restaurant was very perfect, and even the lanterns were full of design.
Over here, Lin Xiao was preparing today’s ingredients at the stove.
The young man’s face was full of seriousness.
Paimon put her hands on her hips, smiling mischievously and said:
“How is it~ Boss Lin’s looks are not bad, right? The Traveler even blushed looking at him the other day.”
“Paimon!!”
Just then.
Lin Xiao finally heard the voices and looked up at the two people and the flying little Paimon in front of him.
Oh?
A distinguished guest had arrived!
Beneath the purple skirt, those shiny black-silk feet, how could Lin Xiao not recognize them?
Exquisite facial features, although looking a bit aloof, her temperament was that of a cute and moving beautiful maiden.
Coupled with the twin tails and cat ear hair buns, a perfectly tsundere and lovable face.
Lumine was really amazing!!
Ningguang’s business was brought in by her.
This black-silk sister, the Yuheng of the Liyue Qixing, was also brought over by Lumine.
A social butterfly indeed!
“Boss Lin~~ We’re here to eat again!!”
Paimon kept waving her hand, afraid that Lin Xiao wouldn’t see her.
“Please come in, everyone. There are empty seats inside.”
Lin Xiao smiled gently.
Keqing also greeted Lin Xiao.
The three entered the shop and sat down.
Keqing looked around curiously.
Although the decoration couldn’t be called luxurious, it was full of details, giving her a lot of favorable impressions upon her first visit.
When she saw the menu board, she was somewhat puzzled.
Eh?
“Lumine, didn’t I just hear that the Huaxia restaurant only had two dishes? Now there’s actually an extra one.”
If she hadn’t looked, she wouldn’t have known, but upon seeing it, she was really startled!
“Eh!! There really are three dishes now. Great, great~~” Paimon danced with joy.
After all, having heard of the awesomeness of Huaxia cuisine, she was naturally full of curiosity.
“It’s just that this ‘Beauty-Enhancing Rock Sugar Bird’s Nest’, the Traveler definitely won’t order it for Paimon QAQ.”
“Cough, cough!!!”
Keqing covered her mouth and smiled.
At this time, Lin Xiao also walked over and served three cups of tea.
“Beauty-Enhancing Rock Sugar Bird’s Nest, the price is currently the most expensive dish in our shop.”
“But the selected ingredients absolutely live up to this price.”
Bird’s nest…
An ingredient everyone hadn’t heard of, so Lin Xiao introduced it to everyone.
…
After hearing it, everyone was shocked!
“What!! It’s actually a bird’s nest built by birds. We really didn’t know this kind of thing could be eaten.”
Keqing also nodded.
“Not only is the bird’s nest an ingredient from another world, but it is also difficult to form and actually needs to be collected on steep cliffs. Such a price is indeed not considered expensive.”
“Then what is the main efficacy of this medicinal diet?”
Keqing’s voice was very girlish, but it held the majesty of a superior.
Lin Xiao generously introduced:
“In Huaxia medical theory, ‘nourish yang in spring and summer, nourish yin in autumn and winter.’ Females are mainly ‘yin’, and this rock sugar bird’s nest is an excellent product for nourishing yin. Not only can it achieve the effect of enhancing beauty, but it can also smooth the qi and invigorate the lungs…”
Seeing Keqing listening so seriously, Lin Xiao also launched into a lengthy explanation.
Although Lumine and Paimon on the side couldn’t understand, they also felt it was very amazing!!!
Keqing was nodding repeatedly.
Well-founded and reasonable!!
Although it wasn’t as expensive as Xinyue Kiosk’s beauty meal, it just felt infinitely more reliable and worth the price.
At this time, Lin’s Huaxia Cuisine had some reputation and could even raise the price a bit, but the boss didn’t do so.
This point really made Keqing look at Lin Xiao with new eyes.
“Boss Lin, we want three portions of ‘Rock Sugar Bird’s Nest’.”
Paimon: ???
Lumine: ????
“Ke… Keqing… w-w-we.”
Keqing smiled sweetly and waved her hand gently.
“No need to be polite. You’ve helped me a lot, I should be the one treating. Don’t refuse.”
“Wow!!! Keqing is simply a super super great person~ Paimon can also enhance her beauty now~”
Paimon was so enthusiastic, rubbing her little face directly against Keqing’s little face.
“Oh my…”
“No need to be so polite, hey~~”
Lumine beside them also laughed out loud.
When Keqing relaxed, it was quite an adorable contrast.
The way those black silk feet rubbed back and forth made Lin Xiao calm down before he started cooking.
The three of them all looked at Lin Xiao with eyes full of curiosity.
First, start the pot and heat the previously prepared sugar water!
Then take out the soaked bird’s nest from the basin.
Crystal clear and even faintly glowing with a slight fluorescence, it looked like a high-end ingredient!!
When the bird’s nest was thrown onto the chopping board, it was very elastic.
Paimon: “Even more amazing than the Traveler’s.”
Lumine: “???”
Logically speaking, bird’s nest is usually torn apart by hand, but this kind of uneven width of bird’s nest threads will naturally affect the taste.
At the state banquet level, it must be as delicate as vermicelli while maintaining an even width.
This is a detail that determines success or failure!
The kitchen knife spun!!
Lin Xiao’s crazy hands began to frantically show off his knife skills once again.
Only to see the veins bulging on his arms.
As someone who spent years specializing in sword techniques, Keqing was even more sensitive to this aspect.
Her beautiful eyes trembled.
She could tell at a glance that Lin Xiao was exerting full control over his knife technique!!
And the delicacy of the knife technique was simply breathtaking!!
