Hearing the strange nickname Paimon had given him, Xia Wei poked Paimon's head with his finger with an unhappy expression.

"I'm not on call, after all, I also have my own things to do, and I have to do something that you really can't solve to come to me?" Xia Wei admonished.

"Got it, we're glad you came to help." Paimon squinted and smiled.

Xia Wei gave Wendy one last look before turning to leave, and if he could say something like giving him the heart of God, there was a high probability that this bard would be the wind god.

At night, Xia Wei slept in a hotel in Mondstadt that was not destroyed by the wind, and did not choose to enter the Time Gate space at night.

In his opinion, it is very boring to know everything about the future, and it is better to experience some things yourself, and the last time I entered it was just out of curiosity.

Early the next morning, Agasya, who lived next door to Xia Wei, woke Xia Wei up and brought breakfast.

After Xia Wei washed up, he asked while eating breakfast, "Today should be the day I agreed with those bards, right?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Xia Wei." Agatya stood aside and replied respectfully.

"Then you can help me take these manuscripts to the book club in the city, print ten copies, and send them to the bards." Xia Wei took the manuscript out of his arms and handed it to Agaxia's hand.

Agaxia looked at Xia Wei suspiciously and asked, "Didn't Mr. Xia Wei personally go to meet those bards?" ”

Xia Wei put the tableware away, took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, "Katarina, they have taken too long, I want to go to Qingquan Town to have a look." ”

"Okay, then please leave this matter to me with confidence." Agaxia smiled and exited the house, and then prepared a carriage for Xia Wei to Qingquan Town at the door of the hotel.

Xia Wei rode all the way to Qingquan Town, and the sight of Mondstadt on the way made him feel very good.

It wasn't until they entered the town of Clear Springs that they saw Katarina, Kolya and Nikolai were following behind a hunter outfit and persuading him, but the hunter was mistaking it as air.

Xia Wei walked over and motioned for Katarina and the three of them to stand down and negotiate with the hunter herself.

Seeing that these few people who had been trying to persuade themselves in the past few days were so respectful to the young man in front of them, where did the hunter not know what was going on?

"My name is Draff, and I am the mayor of Qingquan Town, don't mention the matter of building a factory near Qingquan Town, I can't agree to it, who knows what you winter merchants are planning?" Draff said very politely.

Xia Wei didn't care much about Draff's attitude, because the reputation of the Solstice merchants outside was really bad, and it was probably because the difference in their growth environment made them pursue profits too much.

Just when Xia Wei wanted to understand and be emotional, a little girl dressed in ancient clothes that looked very similar to Xia You's hometown and had a ball head followed another young hunter.

"Chief, this little girl hunts wild boars in the game reserve we have set up, what do you think we should do?" The young hunter asked.

Draff's face became serious after hearing this, and he asked with a gloomy face, "You are Xiangling, right?" ”

"Yes... That's right."

Xiangling was startled when she saw Draff's expression, and she couldn't even speak clearly.

"That's good! Now that you're here... Help us promote our meat products! Draff's attitude immediately reversed one hundred and eighty degrees, and he pleaded with his hands folded.

Xia Wei glanced at him in surprise, with that fierce appearance just now, Xia Wei thought that this guy was going to beat someone.

But to let Draff please like this, this little girl shouldn't be simple, Xia Wei looked at this little girl named Xiangling slightly.

Judging from the smell of the various ingredients emanating from her body and the various recipes in her mind, she is probably a chef.

Sure enough, the next moment Draff began to explain

"When I heard that Chef Xiangling from Liyue Wanmin Hall was here, I immediately asked Alan to bring you over

The main thing is to ask you to help promote the meat of Qingquan Town, our Qingquan Town has always been famous for its high-quality meat, but it is only limited to Mondstadt, if Chef Xiangling can help promote it, our Qingquan Town meat will definitely be famous in the Seven Kingdoms! Draff said expectantly as Xiangling looked

But Xiangling righteously refused, "I'm sorry, I may not be able to agree to your request, I just want to make delicious dishes, I don't want to be limited by ingredients, and I have never done publicity." ”

Seeing Xiangling's refusal so firmly, Draff's face was full of disappointment, "It's really a pity, but since you choose to refuse, forget it..."

Seeing that Xiangling was about to turn around and leave, Xia Wei looked at Draff and said, "If I can make this little girl named Xiangling change her mind, can you agree to my request?" ”

Draff glanced at Xia Wei, "Come on, Wanmintang is not short of money, and it is not something that you merchants of the Winter Kingdom can ask for."

Of course, if you do succeed, it is not impossible for me to agree to your request. ”

"That's what you said." Xia Wei said with a smile on his face.

Xiangling next to her was a little dissatisfied, "Is it really appropriate to discuss these in front of us?" Even if you take out more money today, I won't change my mind. ”

Xia Wei looked at her and shook his head, "Since you are also a chef, let's have a competition between chefs, I will compete with you in cooking!"

If I win, you will help Qingquan Town publicize, and if I lose, I will promise you a condition that does not violate my principles. ”

Hearing Xia Wei's words, Xiangling was very surprised, from Draff's words just now, it can be heard that this is a solstice businessman, a merchant and a chef can really win the competition?

Wanting this, Xiangling raised her head and looked at Xia Wei, "It's no problem to promise you, but if you lose, you'll have to follow me as a cook for a month, and you have to help me get any ingredients I want." ”

"Good!" Xia Wei confidently agreed.

After the two made an agreement, Xiangling left Qingquan Town to find the ingredients she needed.

At this time, Draff leaned close to Xia Wei's side and asked in a somewhat uncertain tone, "Can you really do it?" ”

"No problem at all!" Xia Wei said confidently, and after speaking, he also left Qingquan Town to look for ingredients.

Just as he was passing by the Mondstadt Bridge in a horse-drawn carriage, he stumbled upon several fat ducks in the lake below the bridge.

That's Xia Wei's goal.

Xia Wei also thought that after copying Xiangling's cooking skills, the cooking skills of both sides were equal, and in this case, there would be a tie at most, and there was no way to defeat Xiangling at all.

Therefore, it is necessary to integrate his other advantages with Xiangling's cooking skills to defeat her.
