Chapter 123 As is customary, the record was made in the account of the Rebirth Hall.
First, the Emperor took a leisurely stroll.
Regarding Wendy's story about going to the Mondstadt tavern and ordering a cup of tea.
The video begins.
Mond, a gift from an angel.
Yingmei pushed open the door and came in, ready to start her day's work.
There are already several people waiting.
[Qin: It seems to be the time when the traveler worked as a bartender.]
[Yomiya: Wow, so many travelers! So many people are supporting us.]
[Ayaka Kamisato: Indeed, not only did Ningguang from Tianquan Star attend in person, but even the Rock King Emperor went.]
[Hotaru: Ayaka, when I get to Inazuma, I'll come to your house and make you some juice, okay?]
[Ayato Kamisato: Toma, remember not to let her in.]
[Thoma: Understood, Master]
Ying changed her clothes and went to the nearest table first.
Paimon exclaimed, "Zhongli?!"
Zhongli looked up. "It's been a long time. How have you been?"
"No, no... Zhongli, what are you doing here?!"
Paimon couldn't believe it; had the news of them becoming bartenders reached Liyue?
Did they even attract Zhongli?
Zhongli replied, "Since it is a leisurely stroll, one should not limit oneself to what is in front of one's eyes."
"The land of wind is free and abundant, a wonderful place to go."
"It's a pleasant surprise to meet you all here."
[Hu Tao: Why do I have a feeling that the guest elder knew where the traveler was before he went there?]
Wendy: Hmm, Grandpa, just admit it already.
[Zhongli: I traveled to Mondstadt, but someone wouldn't even offer me a cup of wine.]
[Barbara: I feel that Lord Barbatos and the Rock King have a really good relationship.]
[Ying: These two have known each other for a long time, haven't they?]
Wendy: More than two thousand years ago? I can't quite remember.
Yingmei smiled and asked him what he wanted to drink.
"A cup of misty haze. Some tea would be even better, thank you for your trouble."
He seemed quite adept at taking orders.
No one would believe it if I said it was a chance encounter.
Ying went back to the bar to mix drinks.
Paimon then went to order more food.
In no time, they had prepared drinks for everyone.
Paimon presented Zhongli with the misty, cloud-shrouded cloak.
"Sorry for the wait."
Zhongli picked it up.
First, I smelled the aroma of the tea.
Then take a small sip and savor the taste.
After a short while, the comments began.
"The tea soup is clear and bright, with a pleasing color, a sweet and mellow taste, and a floral and fruity aroma. It is quite rare."
Yingmei struck a rather arrogant pose.
This means it's nothing.
Paimon: This guy's getting a little too cocky.
[True Lord Liuyun Borrows the Wind: Being appreciated by the Emperor is the source of her pride]
[Tian Tiezui: Mr. Zhongli is notoriously picky about tea.]
Many vendors in Liyue expressed their agreement.
Getting a good review from Zhong Li is really not easy.
In the video, Paimon begins to play the straight man.
"Wow, Zhongli is quite the expert when it comes to tea."
"I gulped it down in one go, and all I could say was 'delicious.'"
Zhongli took another sip.
"Tasting tea with care is a way of showing respect to the tea maker."
"Good tea is rare, and a tea brewer who can make good tea enjoy the scenery and mood is even rarer."
[Hu Tao: Guest, that's a bit too cheesy...]
[Ying: You flatter me, you flatter me]
[Paimon: If you keep praising him like this, won't he become an angel?]
Paimon seemed to understand, but not quite.
"Then... teach me how you appreciate tea? I think you smell it first and then drink it, right?"
Zhongli nodded.
"That's right, each type of tea has its own characteristics, and you'll naturally gain some insights as you drink more."
"You can tell a lot about the quality of tea just by smelling its aroma."
"Some teas smell damp and greasy, with an overpowering burnt aroma; they are likely substandard."
"Some others smell sweet and elegant, with a pleasant fragrance; these are mostly top-grade teas."
Zhongli continued to explain the science to the two of them.
"If you wish to be even more refined, according to the ancient traditions of Liyue, you should also prepare an 'incense cup'."
"This vessel can hold tea and is specifically for appreciating its aroma."
Upon hearing this, Paimon felt that all the drinks he had consumed before had been a waste.
[Ying: Is it possible that you won't understand it even after listening to it?]
[Paimon: How dare you look down on me when it comes to food and drink!]
[Zhongli: There is much to learn here; it's never too late to start learning now.]
In the video, Zhongli begins to teach the Meng sect again.
How should beginners appreciate it?
"First observe the color of the water, then gently smell the aroma of the tea, and finally taste the tea."
"The same principle applies to mastering all things, from the shallow to the deep."
"Qiaoying Manor in northwestern Liyue is famous for its tea. If you have the chance in the future, you might as well go and have a look."
"Most of what I've said today is just my old-fashioned Liyue habit."
"Tea drinking habits and tea culture vary from place to place. People living in different countries should respect local customs."
Yingmei nodded in agreement.
As expected of the Emperor, his words are impeccable.
[Araki Kazuto: Are there really so many rules to drinking tea?]
[D'Artagnan: As expected of Mr. Zhongli]
[Jiaming: Besides tea, Qiaoying Manor also has many delicious foods and fun activities. You are welcome to come anytime, and I'll pay the bill.]
Paimon nodded in agreement with Yingmei.
"I completely understand! But whether I can remember it is another matter..."
Yingmei put her hands on her hips and said, "As expected."
After Zhongli finished drinking, he got up to take his leave.
"Thank you so much for today. I am fortunate to have such fine tea. This trip would have been unnecessary."
"When you take charge of the teahouse someday, I will definitely come to support you."
That's all for today. I won't bother you any longer. I wish you all the best in your work.
After saying that, he planned to leave directly through the main entrance.
Yingmei chased after them.
"Um, about settling the bill..."
Zhongli didn't even turn his head.
"Well, just keep the expenses in the Wangsheng Hall's account as usual."
Paimon waved goodbye to him, "Take care, please give our regards to the sect leader!"
The video ends.
[Hu Tao: What do you mean by 'spending according to habit'? How much of a habit does that have to be! I'm paying him a salary!]
Paimon: It means exactly what it says.
