Chapter 107: The Lady and the Scattered Soldiers Tasting Different World Cuisine

The Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals is approaching, and many foreign businessmen have come to Liyue Harbor to prepare for a big event. For other staff members of the General Affairs Department, these days may be busy, but for the intelligence personnel of the General Affairs Department who are responsible for monitoring the Northland Bank, these days are particularly leisurely.

Because there are so many merchants coming to the Northland Bank to withdraw Mora recently, the employees in the Northland Bank are so busy that they have no time to do anything, and the intelligence personnel of the General Affairs Department are also happy to have some free time.

But today's Northland Bank seems to be a little different. Some intelligence personnel from the General Affairs Department who pretended to be Mora were surprised to find that the number of Fatui in the Northland Bank has obviously increased today. After reporting this discovery.

The staff of the General Affairs Department who were in charge of monitoring the Northland Bank took into consideration that the number of merchants from various countries heading to Liyue Harbor had increased recently, and the Fatui in the Northland Bank were too busy to handle it, so they added more staff. Apart from dispatching a few more Thousand Rocks to patrol near the Northland Bank, they did not take any other precautions.

Before this, Ruojin told Keqing the news he had heard from the Fatui base. Keqing took some time to go home and have dinner with Ruojin. After confirming that Ruojin was not joking, Keqing asked Ruojin not to interfere in this matter. She would tell Ningguang about this, and Ningguang would send professionals to investigate.

While countless pairs of eyes were staring at the Northland Bank in secret, in the reception hall on the second floor of the Northland Bank, the manager of the Northland Bank, Andre, was standing beside the table and diligently serving the two distinguished guests sitting in the reception hall.

Andre seemed particularly reserved today. He had a fawning smile on his face and his waist was slightly bent. His usual superior and domineering look was no longer visible on him.

"Where is the young master? Why hasn't he come yet? Does he want us to wait for him? He is so arrogant."

A cold female voice with a questioning tone sounded in the reception hall. The temperature in the reception hall dropped suddenly, and many Fatui began to shiver slightly, not knowing whether it was because of the cold or fear.

Looking at the graceful woman sitting on the chair, none of the Fatui present dared to have any impure thoughts. Some Fatui were even very afraid because they had all heard of the methods of this executive. If they made her angry, they would not be able to walk out of the reception hall of Northland Bank alive.

My Lord, you have really screwed us over. For a moment, this thought filled the minds of all the fools in the reception hall.

"My lady, in fact, the young master has been waiting for you and the scattered soldier since early in the morning."

"It's just that there was an accident along the way, and the rest of us couldn't solve it. For the sake of Her Majesty's great cause, the Young Master went out in person to solve that little accident. But don't worry, before leaving, the Young Master specifically instructed us to entertain you and the Soldier with the highest standards."

When the employees of the Northland Bank saw Andre like this, instead of showing any sarcasm, they even had a hint of envy on their faces. They were all members of the Fatui, so there must be a reason why Andre could become the manager of the Northland Bank while they could not.

The young master didn't say anything before he went out to deal with the treasure-stealing group that suddenly attacked their Fatui, but Andre told him during the call that he attached great importance to the ladies and the scattered soldiers. But for the sake of the Queen, the young master had to go out to deal with the matter.

Hearing what Andre said, the lady's face looked much better, and the chill in the reception hall slowly disappeared. The Fatui who worked in the Northland Bank breathed a sigh of relief, and also imagined that if they could flatter their superiors as well as Andre did, they should be able to sit in the office and drink a little wine every day with a generous salary like Andre.

"Since Master is not here, let's eat first and serve the dishes. I am still looking forward to the delicacies of Liyue."

The meteorite incident had not been fully investigated, and Sanbing did not want to make a big fuss and expose his identity, so after seeing the lady's expression ease, Sanbing also tried to smooth things over. "Yes, yes, I'll serve the dishes right away. In order to prevent poisoning, Master Gongzi specially asked our Fatui chefs to learn how to cook Liyue dishes. Madam, Master Sanbing, even though our chefs are Fatui, the Liyue dishes they cook are so authentic."

Andre clapped his hands, and the Fatui who had been waiting outside the room for a long time immediately began to cook. Twelve stoves were lit at the same time, and soon the aroma of food filled the entire Northland Bank.

Eleven dishes were quickly placed on the table: Yunzhayu, lotus seed poultry egg custard, stir-fried pork slices, crab roe tofu, golden shrimp balls, moon eggs, pine mushroom stuffed meat rolls, squirrel fish, four-sided peace, crystal shrimp, and boiled black-backed sea bass.

Looking at the various exquisite dishes on the table, the lady nodded with satisfaction. The dishes looked good. It seemed that the young master paid quite a lot of attention to her. But why was the dish in the middle covered? Was it some kind of special dish?
The soldier standing nearby also had the same doubts. The soldier, who was good at cooking, was quite interested in the covered dish. Seeing that the two Fatui executives seemed to be interested in the dish, Andre put his hand on the iron cover and introduced it enthusiastically.

"My Lady, Lord Skirmisher, I'm sure you both have heard about the unusual food competition that Lord Young Master held in Liyue a few days ago."

"I've heard a little bit about this. Could this be the winning dish of that competition? If it's a dish without any new ideas, that useless young master wouldn't have arranged it to be the last dish to be served. Get lost."

Sanbing didn't have time to watch Andre keeping a suspense here. After slapping Andre away with a slap, Sanbing directly lifted the cover, and this last dish was finally unveiled in front of Sanbing and the lady.

"Is this dish from Liyue?"

Looking at the dishes in front of him that were made of unknown ingredients, Sanbing frowned slightly. Could it be that this dish was as dark as the fried Qingxin with slime gel that he had eaten at Wanmin Hall?

"Ahem, this Nine-Turn Large Intestine is a dish from another world that the Young Master tasted at a cooking competition. The Young Master thought the taste was very unique, so he specially got the recipe here for the Lady and the Soldier to try."

Andre, who was knocked away, coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood. He endured the severe pain in his body and introduced this dish to the ladies and the soldiers. As for why he did so, it was because he was a judge on the spot during the cooking competition. He had tasted this nine-turn large intestine and its taste was really hard to describe.

He was also completely confused when he saw the menu last night, but the logistics staff said that this was the menu set by the young master. There was nothing Andre could do now, he could only make up stories and try his best to make the lady and Sanbing, the two bad-tempered executives, believe what he said.

Hearing that this dish was from another world, the lady and the soldier became interested and picked up a piece to taste. However, the moment they took a bite, the lady and the soldier's faces changed again and again. Why did it taste so hard to swallow?

After chewing for a few bites, the lady and Sanbing looked at each other and found that each other's faces were not right. They both spit out the large intestine in their mouths, and Sanbing even picked up the water cup and rinsed his mouth vigorously.

Although the food tasted terrible, the lady and the soldier did not doubt Andre's words. After all, the lady and the soldier were a Mondstadt person and an Inazuma doll respectively, and neither of them knew much about the taste of the people of Zhidong. In addition, they never thought that Andre would lie to them.

But after tasting this Nine-Turn Large Intestine, the lady and Sanbing decided to try not to go to Zhidong’s restaurant for dinner in the future. The taste of Zhidong people is indeed a bit peculiar.
