Mr. Faxun also noticed that Raiden Ei wanted to eat something.
The simple-minded Country bumpkin sat there, not reacting much to any words she heard.
Only when she heard the word 'eat' did her eyes sparkle brightly.
If it was about eating, then she wouldn't be sleepy anymore.
In response, Mr. Faxun proactively suggested, "Makoto, Ei, it's almost mealtime. Shall we go for lunch?"
As his words fell, the Raiden sisters exchanged glances.
Raiden Ei had wanted to eat for a long time, and hearing Mr. Faxun's suggestion, she naturally agreed without hesitation.
Raiden Makoto, on the other hand, considered that Mr. Faxun had taken them out to play and they were exhausted, so it would be good to go back and eat to replenish their energy.
"Then, Mr. Faxun, we'll trouble you to arrange lunch for us."
"Mr. Faxun, I want to eat dessert."
Seeing that the Raiden sisters had no objections, Mr. Faxun led them towards Wanmin Restaurant.
...
Wanmin Restaurant is very famous in Liyue; not only is the food good and affordable, but Chef Mao's cooking is also beyond words.
There's even a saying in Liyue: "If you don't know Wanmin Restaurant, you've eaten across the Seven Nations in vain."
This shows the high regard the common people have for Wanmin Restaurant.
Soon, Mr. Faxun brought the Raiden sisters into Wanmin Restaurant and found a place to sit.
Liyue is not like Inazuma; very few people recognize the Raiden sisters.
Looking around, it was all Liyue commoners, so it didn't matter where they sat.
Mr. Faxun was a regular at Wanmin Restaurant; he used to specifically book out Wanmin Restaurant to cook for the villagers in Ningguang's village.
He also often brought Little One and Xiao to eat here.
Over time, Wanmin Restaurant became exceptionally warm towards Mr. Faxun, their patron.
Now, seeing Mr. Faxun arrive, the Wanmin Restaurant staff immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"Mr. Faxun, you haven't been to our restaurant in a long time."
"There's a table upstairs, please follow me."
Mr. Faxun handed the Wanmin Restaurant menu to the Raiden sisters and simultaneously began to introduce, "Liyue has many characteristic snacks, like Bright Moon Eggs, Lotus Seed Paste, golden shrimp balls..."
Mr. Faxun rattled off many names of characteristic snacks in one breath.
Because he often took the Little Ones out shopping,
Every time they saw snacks, those Little Cuties would stop in their tracks and look at Mr. Faxun with eager eyes.
Mr. Faxun naturally bought the Little Ones everything they wanted.
Over time, Mr. Faxun also became familiar with Liyue snacks.
Hearing Mr. Faxun's introduction, Raiden Makoto gently said, "I'm not picky about food; Mr. Faxun can arrange it."
Whenever Mr. Faxun was present, Raiden Makoto would listen to his opinions.
It wasn't that Raiden Makoto lacked her own ideas, but rather that she felt Mr. Faxun was very reliable.
She wanted to use this method to learn more about Mr. Faxun's life.
The Country bumpkin sitting next to her lowered her head, looking at the menu, her attention drawn by the desserts on it.
Mr. Faxun also noticed Ei's fondness for desserts, so he specifically ordered desserts for her.
Wanmin Restaurant serves dishes very quickly.
Before long, the staff brought the steaming hot dishes to the table.
The first dish was Bright Moon Eggs, a wrapper made of egg liquid and Flour, filled with minced shrimp and Fish.
Its shape looked like a shumai, but it tasted like a soup dumpling, with a mouthful of delicious juice in one bite.
The second dish was golden shrimp balls, shelled shrimp wrapped in Flour and deep-fried, then garnished with shredded potatoes.
One shrimp per bite, crispy and delicious.
Next came Lotus Seed Paste, Golden Crab...
Looking at the table full of rich and abundant dishes in front of them, the Raiden sisters were in a very good mood.
Because this was their first time seeing Liyue's characteristic delicacies, which were clearly different from Inazuma's food.
Liyue's dishes clearly had more variety and looked very innovative.
Next, the Raiden sisters picked up their chopsticks and began to taste.
Mr. Faxun looked at Raiden Makoto next to him and then asked, "Makoto, Ei, do these dishes suit your taste?"
Raiden Makoto put down her chopsticks and gave her evaluation: "Mr. Faxun, I think Liyue cuisine is very unique, and I personally like it very much."
Raiden Ei, on the other hand, said seriously, "Although Liyue's desserts are completely different in style from Inazuma's, they are also very delicious."
Hearing their words, Mr. Faxun finally felt relieved.
At the very least, both of them could adapt to and liked Liyue cuisine.
This was a very good start.
It meant that there wouldn't be much problem for them to live in Liyue long-term.
At this moment, Raiden Ei looked at Chef Mao, who had finished cooking.
She was very curious why Chef Mao's cooking was so delicious, so she casually asked a question.
Chef Mao waved his hand indifferently: "It's nothing, just practice makes perfect."
"I've been a chef for over ten years; I know the saltiness of a dish just by tasting it."
Another chef nearby nodded along: "That's right, every profession requires accumulated experience and step-by-step exploration."
"For example, when a guest comes and wants to eat a certain dish, I know it as soon as I ask."
Hearing the two chefs' answers, Raiden Ei became even more confused.
It was as if they had answered, but also as if they hadn't.
Finally, it was Mr. Faxun who said the food was getting cold, which pulled Raiden Ei's thoughts back.
After this meal, Raiden Ei felt she hadn't had enough; she always felt something was missing.
Oh, right, usually after a meal, she would finish with a skewer of tricolor dango.
Now, without tricolor dango, it felt a bit unaccustomed.
Suddenly, she missed Inazuma's tricolor dango a little bit.
Why wasn't tricolor dango sold in Liyue?
What a pity.
Raiden Ei's melancholic expression naturally fell completely into Mr. Faxun's eyes.
He hadn't expected Ei's obsession with tricolor dango to be so deep.
Since that was the case, he would make tricolor dango for Ei.
Mr. Faxun first sent the Raiden sisters back to rest for a bit, while he himself went out to search for sakura bloom.
Liyue Harbor is vast and rich in resources; surely, he would find sakura bloom, right?
Thinking this, Mr. Faxun got up and began his search.
He could use the treasure compass, so the difficulty should not be too great.
After Mr. Faxun left, a little girl slowly emerged from the corner of Wanmin Restaurant.
The girl had short, shoulder-length black hair, looking fresh and capable.
At this moment, her eyes were fixed on Mr. Faxun's disappearing back, and then she looked at the portrait in her hand.
The portrait was a drawing of a person, and it perfectly matched Mr. Faxun who had just left.
Looking at Mr. Faxun's back, the girl became even more certain of her guess.
"Ancestor Boyang received help from a certain immortal and escaped death from the Chasm back then."
"The first thing Ancestor did upon returning home was to record the immortal's appearance in a painting."
"Ancestor instructed future generations that if they ever met their benefactor, they must repay this life-saving kindness."
"But hundreds of years have passed, and the benefactor's figure has not appeared in Liyue Harbor, and this kindness has yet to be repaid."
"That person who just left, he must be the benefactor, right?"
"The benefactor... seems to have encountered some trouble?"
