"Dad!"

Under the signboard of Wanmintang, a middle-aged man was sweating wildly, stir-frying vegetables in full swing, and when he heard this, he immediately looked up and saw Xiangling showing a simple smile.

"Yo girl, are you back?"

"Lulu-"

"Look at my eyes, and of course you too."

Master Mao patted his head, collected the juice on high heat, and put the vegetables that were being fried in his hand on the plate, and then handed it to the guy behind him.

wiped the sweat with his hands, got down from the hot and smoking stove, and walked out of the door with a smile: "Girl, you haven't come back for so many days, I thought you were homesick." ”

"Hmm...... Dad, how could I have forgotten you when you said this. ”

Xiangling scratched her head and smiled.

The pot also raised its paws and made a cute "lulu" sound.

"Yo, who are these?"

Only then did Master Mao notice the three Lin Chen behind Xiangling, "This is your friend?" ”

"That's right, Dad, they're all friends from Mondstadt, and I'll have to trouble you to find a place to stay later."

Xiangling first said the important things, and then introduced them one by one: "This is Lin Chen, he is the honorary knight of the Knights of Favonius; This is Ying, and she's Paimon. ”

"Hello, hello."

Although Master Mao was as curious about Paimon as Xiangling was when she first met Paimon, he didn't have too many doubts, and just smiled heartily and said hello.

"Hello Master Mao."

Lin Chen nodded and greeted him first.

Paimon also floated in the air with a hand behind his back and said, "Hello Master Mao." ”

Ying was a little bad at words, and whispered in a whisper: "Master Mao, how good are you......"

Master Mao scratched his head, how do you feel that these two girls are a little abnormal?

If Lin Chen knew Master Mao's inner thoughts, he would definitely give him a thumbs up, after all, one is a mute bride and the other is a foodie, and he really can't deal with him normally.

"Do you want a place to stay......" Master Mao pondered for a moment, scratching his head before the grease stains on his rough fingers could be wiped off.

"It's not that I'm stingy, it's mainly that I have too few rooms in that shabby place, and I may not be able to accommodate you."

"Oh Dad, they don't have to live in our house, you have a lot of connections in Liyue, you can find them some affordable rentals."

Xiangling said helplessly.

"Haha, if that's the case, it's easy."

Master Mao smiled, "It's not that I'm boasting, but in Liyue's one-third of an acre, we have a bit of a way...... I'll take you to find it when I'm busy for a while. ”

"Master Mao, we may have to stay in Liyue for a long time, so we may need to buy a house, renting a house or something is not suitable for us."

Now that you have money in your pocket, it's better to rent than to buy a house, after all, you may be in Liyue for a long time in the future.

"That's fine, if you want to talk about Liyue's house, I have quite a few friends who work in this area."

"Then thank you, Master Mao."

Lin Chen thanked him politely.

"By the way, Dad, we haven't had lunch yet, so you can make us some Liyue local specialties and give them a try."

Xiangling smiled, "They only ate what I made in Mondstadt, now let them try your handicraft too." ”

"No problem, girl, it's on me."

Master Mao smiled kindly.

The pot slapped its belly and showed a funny and cute expression.

"Bad pot, you've eaten a lot this morning, punish you for not eating it later!"

"Uh-huh-"

Guoba's expression was a little aggrieved.

Lin Chen touched his bare bear skull and whispered in his ear, "I'll give it to you later." ”

"Huh-" Guoba immediately danced with his hands, and the white eyes in the bear's black belt were immediately bent into crescent moons.

"You're going to get used to him."

Xiangling crossed her waist and said helplessly.

It didn't take long for Master Mao to personally bring more than a dozen dishes to the table.

"Wow-"

Paimon rubbed his hands together, his eyes shining, "There are so many delicious ......"

"You just ate so much and you're still not full??"

Lin Chen felt incredible.

I bought tens of thousands of Mora food just now, and although I ate a lot of Naba, it was obvious that Paimon ate more.

That's it, depending on the situation, she hasn't eaten enough.

"Hehe, how can you be full of food."

Paimon just got started.

Lin Chen shook his head helplessly.

However, he didn't eat much today, and he was really hungry.

Smelling the fragrance of the table, I also began to cook with my head bored.

As for Xiangling and Ying, one is that they don't have much freshness after eating too much, so it's normal to eat; One is a mild social fear and a high cold personality, so eat slowly and logically.

Seeing that his dishes were so popular, Chef Mao smiled, and he greeted Xiangling, "Girl, you greet your friends here first, and I'll go look for friends around Liyue and ask about the house." ”

"Go, go, we'll wait for you to come back."

Xiangling was chatting with Ying feverishly, and when she heard this, she waved her hand with a little disgust and urged her father to leave quickly.

Master Mao was hurt by his daughter's attitude, but fortunately it was not Lin Chen who was talking to her, otherwise he would sit down and interrogate him every minute.

Speaking of which, when he saw Lin Chen for the first time, he thought that this young man was very good-looking and looked good-tempered, and he thought that his daughter had brought back her boyfriend to show him.

As a result, he kept observing in the back kitchen, and found that his silly girl kept chatting with the girl who didn't like to talk, and he realized that he might be thinking too much.

But girl, why are you so enthusiastic with this girl?

Won't it ......

The more Master Mao thought about it, the more entangled he became, and finally left with mixed feelings.

The place where Lin Chen and the others worked was in the open air, and people came and went on the road, and from time to time a few faces of Liyue people who Lin Chen was familiar with passed by.

At this moment, a crisp lazy girl's delicate voice came: "Yo roar, Xiangling, are you back?" ”

Then the black figure swept by, sitting in the middle of Lin Chen and Xiangling impartially.

Lin Chen looked surprised.

With a reddish-brown gradient double ponytail, he wears a Chinese shirt with a pattern and a long back hem, which is patterned with flowers and lilies.

He wears a very conspicuous Qiankun Thai hexagram hat, with a black bow hanging from the back of the hat, the material of the hat is hard, and the emblem of the Afterlife Hall is decorated on the front.

There are plum blossoms on the side of the hat, bright eyes are very peculiar plum blossom pupils, slender fingers are painted with jet-black nail polish, a black robe reaches to the waist, shorts, socks and black shoes, and red knots are tied on the legs.

"Hmm...... Hu Tao, why are you here? ”

Xiangling shouted out the name of the person at once, but the tone was not so happy, and even a little angry.

"Hehe, I heard that you are back, so I rushed to you non-stop."

Hu Tao shook his head and said, "It's been a long time since I've eaten your dishes, boiled blackback bass and shrimp dumplings, I really miss it......"

"Then next time, I'll make you a clear heart fried slime gel."

Xiangling puffed out her mouth and said.

"Don't do that. You know I don't like that. ”

Hu Tao snorted, then changed the subject: "These people are your friends? Hey, don't you give me an introduction? ”
