"Well?"
"that is……"
"!
"Very good!"
"It's Annie..."
After parting ways at Liuliting, until one morning a week later, Mona was in a corner of the alley next to the Wanmintang restaurant in Liyue Port's food street, which is also a civilian area, at a small stall selling offal soup. On the round wooden bench, she finally caught a glimpse of the troubled little girl she had been looking for for many days.
"ha!"
"Annie!"
"I finally found you!"
Then, without thinking, Mona ran over cheering and sat down at the simple wooden table without thinking, and stared at Anne excitedly.
"ah!"
Σ(°△ °|||)︴
"Is it you, Sister Mona?"
ヾ(^▽^*)))
Anne couldn't help but feel a little surprised to see that the person who came was someone she knew that day, and then she quickly said hello.
"are you hungry?"
(.)?
“I’ve invited you to eat this delicious offal soup!”
?(?^o^?)?
"Aunt!"
?(??)??
"Give her a big bowl of offal soup, as well as those steamed buns stuffed with meat. Be sure to add some spiciness!"
?(*)
Then, without waiting for the other party to say anything, Annie hurriedly shouted to Su Erniang, the food stall owner who was busy at the wooden dining cart not far away.
"OK!"
"A bowl of 'Original Offal' and a portion of Morra Pork!"
"brat……"
"Remember, that's Mora meat. Cut the pie in two, fill it with rich meat filling, and then stamp the outside of the pie with Mora's mark. It's called Mora meat."
"It's not some steamed bun stuffed with meat!"
The food stall owner, Su Erniang, first opened her mouth to correct little Annie's misunderstanding, and then she walked to the small square table where the two of them were sitting, carrying a large bowl of Central Plains offal soup and two 'morra pork' with a smile. Then he put it in front of Mona and signaled to use it slowly.
"ah!"
"Thank you, thank you!"
Mona originally wanted to refuse.
However, I thought that I was really hungry, and my life was not going well these days. I spent a lot of money just to stay in hotels and eat and drink, so I couldn't eat a good meal for several days. So, after thinking about it for a while, she didn't say anything more and just hurriedly thanked him.
"Here!"
"Annie!"
"This is the special deposit certificate of Beiguo Bank!"
"Look, there is a series of small numbers on it. The total amount is 9.96 million molars. Take a look. If it is correct, put it away quickly."
Mona did not start eating in a hurry, but looked around, and then hurriedly took out a card-style VIP voucher card of Northland Bank with magic anti-counterfeiting, and photographed it on the greasy wooden table. And he pushed it to Annie and explained.
"I've been looking for you for several days to get it back to you!"
"The prices in Liyue are terrible..."
"Woo!"
"tasty!
Then, Mona breathed a sigh of relief and began to suck the offal soup from the huge bowl.
In the past few days, she couldn't eat or sleep well because of this matter. But now that the property is back to its original owner, she can finally let go of the worries in her heart and have a good meal.
"??"
く(＾_?)ゝ
"Deposit certificate?"
(°ー°〃)
"Um……"
(ー`′ー)
"But, Sister Mona, have people ever had such a thing?"
(.)?
Anne first lowered her head and glanced at the pitch-black card on the table, and tried to think about it. In the end, she didn't expect that she would have such a thing, so of course she didn't accept it. She just looked up at the person sitting inexplicably. Mona asked as she ate and drank like a hungry ghost reincarnated.
"Gulu!"
"ha!"
After swallowing the mora meat with the offal soup and exhaling with satisfaction, Mona wiped her mouth, then raised her head and reminded Anne:
"That's right!"
"It may not really be your thing..."
"but!"
"It's just a certificate. The Mora stored in the Northland Bank is yours!"
"A few days ago, you gave me that big bag of Mora."
"you forgot?"
After saying that, Mona lowered her head and started eating and drinking.
Speaking of which, the environment and taste here are definitely not comparable to the elegant and high-end Liuli Pavilion with at least a dozen maids to serve, and the food and refreshments are extremely exquisite and delicious. However, Mona still feels that in this kind of street alley The food stalls here are more down-to-earth, more comfortable and more unscrupulous.
"Uh-huh!"
"tasty!"
“So delicious!”
After taking a big sip of the soup and taking a big bite of the mola meat, Mona couldn't help but praise it again after letting the aroma of the meat juice and the dough explode on her taste buds.
Actually, this stuff is not as delicious as she said, but the most important thing is: the prices here should be cheaper and more people-friendly, so that she can eat comfortably!
This large bowl of offal soup plus two pieces of delicious mola meat only costs two to three hundred molas. The minced meat is generous and delicious, and one meal can keep you hungry for most of the day.
The two pieces of meat in front of me cost no more than 300 molas, but for tourists from other places, it would cost at least 430 molas and only one piece was given!
But in most cases, as long as she doesn't take the initiative to say that she is a foreign tourist, Su Erniang will not easily rip off customers.
There are many things here, and Mona, who is very familiar with Liyue and always hovers on the edge of the food and clothing line, has already figured it out.
"oh!"
(⊙o⊙*)
"So that's what it is!"
(￣～￣)Chew!
Anne was startled for a moment, then nodded, and then continued to eat her food. Anne finally remembered, as if there was indeed such a thing?
"actually……"
(*^-^)
"Sister Mona, you don't have to send it back. They said it was given to you, and they have a lot of this kind of thing!"
(,,??,,)
Annie licked her lips and ignored the card voucher placed on the table. Instead, she continued to eat the steamed bun with meat and offal soup in her hand.
"No!"
"It's yours, I have to give it back to you no matter what!"
"You don't want to think about it!"
"How can I accept such a large amount of money with peace of mind?"
Mona shook her head and didn't care what Annie said. She just relaxed her body and took the big bowl without any scruples. She picked up the minced meat in the middle of the 'Mola Meat' and ate it without caring. The Mora voucher worth nearly 10 million yuan was not put away by Anne.
Anyway, now that she has returned the property to its original owner, this has settled her worries. Next, she will go about the things that have been delayed for many days. Otherwise, if she misses the thing, the old woman at home will He would have to tear her alive, or simply use her as an alchemy material!
"correct!"
Finally, after eating a portion of mora meat and half a bay of offal soup, Mona, who felt her body gradually gained strength and energy, began to ask curious questions.
"I never had time to ask..."
"Annie!"
"What do you want to do when you come to Liyue alone?"
She had wanted to ask about this for a long time.
But, too many things happened on the day they just met, and in the past few days, she had been struggling to find someone, so it was only now that she took the opportunity to think of it.
"do what?"
(⊙.⊙)
"Um……"
(??v?v??)
"I didn't want to do anything, I just came to play..."
(ー`′ー)
Anne thought about it for a moment, and then she wanted to say it casually.
"ah!"
!(;?o?)o
"correct!"
=?(*)
"I remember, I seemed to have said at that time that I wanted to come and play with that sister Xiangling who is very good at cooking!"
⊙﹏⊙‖i°
Then, Annie, who suddenly remembered something important or unimportant, suddenly exclaimed.
"??"
"Xiang Ling?"
"I seem to have heard someone say that she is an amazing new-school girl chef?"
"but……"
"I also heard that her dishes are a bit unconventional. Sometimes even Slime dares to eat them. I don't know if it's true."
"Of course, that's just what I heard. I don't know whether it's true or not. Maybe..."
"Someday I can give her a divination?"
Mona frowned and thought for a moment, then reached out and tore off a piece of bread from the Namora meat and stuffed it into her mouth while chewing.
"It should be true, right?"
(*^▽^*)
"But the food she cooks is really delicious!"
(^_?)☆
Annie said that she had indeed seen Sister Xiangling using slime liquid as a seasoning. Although it looked a little disgusting, it seemed to taste pretty good?
"That……"
"You have been in Liyue for several days. Have you found her?"
Mona continued to turn around and ask.
Anyway, she had been looking for this little guy like Annie for several days. She almost visited Liyue City and the port. But when she heard what Annie said, she thought it was Annie who had gone to Liyue. I'm looking for someone outside.
"Well..."
(＿＿*)??
"Not found!"
e=(′o｀*)))Alas
Annie was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and sighed softly.
"??"
"Why?"
"Didn't you agree on a place?"
Turning her head slightly, Mona once again asked curiously while eating.
"no……"
(o ^~^ o)
"Because of……"
(lll￢▽￢)
"People accidentally forgot about her!"
e=(′o｀*)))Alas
Having said that, Annie had to sigh again.
In the past few days, she had been having fun in Liyue City and eating all kinds of delicious food. She also often went to Liuliting to jump in line and have a big meal. How could she still remember Miss Xiangling?
To be honest, if the sister Mona in front of me hadn't suddenly asked, I'm afraid she would have continued to be in a state of forgetfulness, right?
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"!
"You can still forget when you come to see someone..."
"Annie..."
"Are you sincere?"
After opening her mouth, Mona finally shook her head, expressing her disdain and speechlessness in a tone of surprise and disbelief.
"Um……"
(**)
"It should be a little bit, right?"
(′`)
Anne said with a smile without any shame.
Anyway, she wouldn't say that coming to Liyue to find Sister Xiangling was just an excuse for her. It was mainly because she had a small nest in Mondstadt and encouraged a certain little girl. Li set off a big firecracker and caused a lot of trouble for others, so she felt a little guilty, so she had to find an excuse to come here to avoid the limelight?
As for Miss Xiangling, she just happened to be there by the way. It’s good if she can find it, but if she can’t find it, she won’t be able to find it. Anyway, there are still many places where she can eat delicious food. Before she eats it once or gets tired of it, , she will definitely not take the initiative to think of the other party.
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"you!"
"never mind!"
"I don't care about you that much!"
Mona opened her mouth again, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she shook her head, indicating that she no longer wanted to worry about Annie's affairs.
After all, she had been very exhausted physically and mentally these past few days trying to find Anne, and had been delayed for almost ten days. Therefore, she really wanted to end things here as soon as possible and then get busy with her own business.
"correct!"
"Annie, I heard you mention it once. You seem to be from Mondstadt, right?"
"Speaking of which..."
"I'm also planning to go to Mondstadt!"
Then, taking this opportunity, Mona told her story while eating.
It turns out that that day, she was waiting for a traveler from Mondstadt on the stone plank road, and she was going to trick him into doing some favors for her. But in the end, she accidentally ran into Anne, a guy she couldn't see through. In the end, a series of troublesome things happened.
Her master, an old woman, made a certain agreement with someone fifty years ago. Now that the time has come, she needs to go to Mondstadt to get a box back as agreed. However, the old woman is old and has inconvenient legs and legs, and she has to travel thousands of miles. It was no longer possible to run to Mondstadt. If I really had to do that, I was afraid that my old life would be caught before I even got there.
As the saying goes, if the master has something to do, the disciple must do his duty, so, as a last resort, as the old woman's disciple, Mona had to leave and prepare to go to Mondstadt for her.
As the master's disciple, she must find the successor or disciple of the master's enemy who keeps the box, and then compete with him to see who is the most powerful in 'divination', and then get it back as agreed. That thing about the box that must never be opened.
"That's about it."
"correct!"
"Annie..."
"Do you want to come to Mondstadt with me?"
After explaining the situation clearly, Mona thought for a while and then suddenly asked with some anxiety.
After all, she already knows that Anne is not only powerful, but also from Mondstadt. She is very familiar with Mondstadt's situation, and she is also super rich. If she lets the other party go together, maybe her daily expenses, such as that Problems related to food, clothing, housing and transportation may not be a problem at all.
"In no mood!"
(?╭╮?)
However, after hearing the whole story, little Annie didn't follow the routine and flatly rejected the other party without even thinking about it.
"!
"But why?"
Mona was a little anxious and quickly asked in confusion.
"nothing!"
(′～`●)
"I just don't want to!"
o(′^｀)o
Annie wouldn't say that she had only been here in Liyue for a few days, and before she had had enough fun, food and trouble, how could she leave so easily?
Besides, how embarrassing would it be to meet Captain Qin, Amber, Ying, or Paimon when we go back to Mondstadt?
"..."
"All right!"
Sighing regretfully, Mona shook her head, but in the end she didn't force herself too much.
After all, she was just asking casually, and she also had her own impure thoughts. Seeing that Annie was not happy, it was difficult for her to persist.
"Huh?"
(*??)
"What's going on? What are they going to do now? Why did it suddenly become so lively?"
(?˙o˙?)
Before Mona could say anything else, Annie suddenly stood up strangely and looked towards the street outside the alley.
At this time, she discovered that people in Liyue Port were hurriedly gathering in a certain direction in unison and happily. It seemed that something big had happened?
but……
It seems that not all people are here, but in the market, some locals or shop owners and some shop owners remain calm, such as the proprietress selling offal, who only glances at the passing people from time to time and greets them. Some acquaintances were just saying hello and had no intention of going there and driving away diners like them.
"Um."
"What else could there be?"
"It's nothing more than the grand ceremony for inviting immortals!"
At this time, after swallowing the last bite of Morra meat and taking a delicious sip of offal soup, Mona wiped her mouth and said this.
Many locals will not go to the so-called "Invitation Ceremony". After all, it happens every year. After seeing it too much, you will get used to it. You don't think there is anything interesting to see. There are only some old men with nothing to do or fun kids. Only children or foreign tourists would find it strange.
Anyway, in Mona's opinion, it was just like a 'spot that locals would never go to'. Anyway, she never thought about joining in the fun.
"!
?
"The Leisure Ceremony? Is it fun?"
(??▽?)
Hearing what seemed to be a ceremony, Anne quickly asked excitedly.
"It's not a leisurely ceremony!"
"It's the ceremony for inviting immortals!"
"To be precise, it should be the 'Seven Stars Inviting Immortal Ceremony'?"
Mona said a long formal name with some uncertainty, and then continued:
"really!"
"I remember, isn't it today?"
"The God of Rock, the King of Rock, gives an oracle every year to guide the direction of Liyue's management this year?"
"Perhaps only big businessmen would pay attention to that kind of thing, right?"
"And the person presiding over the ceremony today seems to be the Yuheng star among the seven stars in Liyue?"
"The Seven Stars of Liyue, like the Knights of the West Wind in Mondstadt, are an organization that rules and manages Liyue. The Seven Stars of Liyue are the big businessmen and capitalists of the seven business forces, and they are also the ones who actually control the country. ."
"It's a powerful combination of government and business!"
"Anyway..."
"I have no interest in those people and what those people are going to do!"
"Speaking of which..."
"This country has actually deviated from the direction originally guided by King Yan."
"The people of Liyue now only pursue fame and fortune. The class divisions are serious and they have forgotten too many virtues and beliefs. It is unclear whether the so-called immortal invitation ceremony conveys the emperor's will or not!"
At the end of the sentence, Mona frowned, whispered some of her opinions, and sneered, as if she was very disdainful of the upcoming 'Invitation Ceremony'?
However, it is not clear whether the object of her disdain is the 'Emperor Rock King', the 'Seven Stars of Liyue', or Liyue itself.
"So that's it!"
(? ??),
"Sounds like a lot of fun!"
?(?)?
However, Annie didn't care so much, but after hearing that there was such a thing here, she became more and more curious.
"no!"
(??)
"People want to play too!"
(?)?
With that said, Annie cheered and planned to run out of the alley and follow the crowd to join in the fun.
"!
"Wait a moment!"
"Annie!"
"Your deposit certificate!?"
Naturally, Annie would not stop her from going to Mona, but when she saw that the card on the table was still there, she quickly stopped her and reminded her loudly.
"certificate?"
(.)?
Anne paused and glanced.
"Sister Mona..."
(??v?v??)
"Things given away by others will never be taken back again!"
s(?｀ヘ′?;)ゞ
Seeing that the other party picked up the card and wanted to hand it over, Anne said angrily.
"But……"
"That's a lot of money!"
"and……"
"You are reduced to a place like this to be eaten and fried to pieces, does it really not matter?"
Mona subconsciously thought that Annie came to such a place to eat because she had no money. Otherwise, she would have continued to Liuli Pavilion. Therefore, she was afraid that Annie would not accept it, so she said this proudly, and thought that What you think is correct.
"!
(ノдヽ)
"It's not because people don't have money that they eat fried rice!"
(?~?)
“People just think it’s delicious!”
o(*｀ー′)o
She didn't expect that the other party actually thought so, so Annie slapped her forehead and retorted angrily and loudly.
"besides!"
??(??￣?￣)?
"They have a lot of money!"
|w??)?
"You don't believe me?"
?(ψ｀▽′)o
Then, Annie, who was a little angry and felt that she had been underestimated by the other party, simply reached out and took out several heavy bags of Mora gold coins, and stuffed them into the bags one by one. The astonished and somewhat overwhelmed Mo In the arms of Miss Na.
"look?"
o(*ˉ︶ˉ*)o
“There are many, many more things like this!”
(?￣? ￣?) Hehe!
It wasn't until the other party could no longer hold the heavy bag and sat on the ground, a little overwhelmed, that Annie stopped with satisfaction, took a few steps back and nodded proudly.
"So!"
(?-)?
"Sister Mona, I went to play, goodbye!"
-=?=??(?)?
Then, after making a playful face at the other party, Annie didn't care what the other party thought, let alone what the other party planned to do, she turned around and ran quickly into the crowd.
Are you kidding me, that little sister Mona dares to look down on her Lady Queen Anne?
So, Annie decided that every time she saw the other party in the future, she would hit the other party with gold coins more and more each time, until the other party was willing to believe and surrender, and then had to accept it?
"!
"etc!"
"Annie?"
"wait!
Mona yelled and wanted to chase her out, but it seemed to be of no use. Annie didn't listen to her and ran away with a puff of smoke.
"hateful!"
"Why is it like this again!"
"this……"
"What should I do?"
Looking at the deposit certificate of 9.96 million in her hand, and then looking at the heavy bags of Mora gold coins at her feet, looking at the total of at least tens of millions of Mora, Mona was stunned. It’s not true if I chase the time, and it’s not the same if I don’t chase it, I’ll just be dumbfounded.
"!
However, when she found that there were many sneaky and strange-eyed people around who wanted to come over, and the proprietress of the offal stall was covering her mouth and looking at her and the bags of coins at her feet in horror, Mona was very worried. She soon knew that she couldn't stay here longer and she had to make a decision early.
"What are you looking at?"
"What catches your eyes?"
"!
"Get out of here, mom!"
"Whoever dares to come here, I will kill him!"
Then, she first glared fiercely at those people with evil intentions, and showed off her power of water element. After shocking those people, she stretched out her hand, put away the voucher, and put it away again. Those heavy cloth bags were picked up in one hand, and then they trotted away in the direction of Beiguo Bank.
To be honest, these bags of things are indeed very heavy for Mona. If she was asked to carry such heavy things in normal times, she would have given up the burden long ago!
but……
After knowing that they were bags of Mora gold coins and knowing that their face value was at least tens of millions, she felt that even if she was a frail female mage, she picked them up and carried them to the highest point of Liyue. That Beiguo Bank should have no problems at all?
——————————
(?w?) What about monthly tickets?
