More and more guests arrived at Wanmintang, and soon the open space outside was filled, just like the night before.

At this moment, Brother Liu also came over with a bag of crabs.

"Brother Xia!"

"Brother Liu."

"Wait a moment, I'll take the crabs to the kitchen first."

"it is good."

Brother Liu went into the kitchen and handed the crabs to Chef Mao. The two seemed to be old acquaintances and chatted for a few more minutes with smiles.

Xia Zhi sat quietly, waiting for Brother Liu to come back and sit down, before asking with a smile, "Brother Liu, are you busy today?"

"It's alright, similar to usual. Have you ordered?"

"Not yet, Brother Liu, you're familiar with this place, why don't you order some?"

Haha, do you have any dietary restrictions?

"No."

"Okay! Xiangling! Come on! Let's order!"

"Coming!"

Xiangling ran to the table.

"Crystal shrimp, boiled black-backed bass, tender and spicy chicken, and we also have our own crab."

"Okay, Uncle Liu."

Xiangling nodded and ran into the kitchen.

Brother Liu then noticed the wine on the table: "Did you bring this?"

"I bought it while I was shopping today."

"Why buy any more wine!"

"Brother Liu treated me to crabs, so it's only right that I treat Brother Liu to drinks."

"You..."

Although his tone was somewhat reproachful, Brother Liu's gaze towards Xia Zhi became even more friendly.

He's a wine lover; he can tell what kind of wine it is just by glancing at the label on the bottle, and he also knows the price of the wine, which is about the same as the price of the crabs he brought.

This made him feel that the boy in front of him was mature and knew how to manage relationships with friends.

It is indeed very comfortable to be around such a person.

Xia Zhi smiled, opened the bottle, and poured a glass: "The boss said this is wine from Monde, but I don't know if it's true. Brother Liu, you know wine, why don't you try it?"

Brother Liu took a sip, smacked his lips, and said, "It is indeed wine from Mondstadt, and it tastes pretty good."

"Brother Liu travels at sea frequently; he must have experienced many strange and interesting things, right?"

"That is!"

After drinking, Brother Liu immediately became more talkative.

Xia Zhi was very patient, listened attentively to him, and asked questions from time to time.

Soon, the ordered dishes were served.

Brother Liu drank a few more glasses of wine, and his face turned a little red.

"Come on, let's eat crab! I specially saved the biggest one!"

"good to eat."

"If you want to eat it again in the future, just come to my shop to get it."

"Take it, just give me a discount, Brother Liu."

"OK!"

Seeing that Brother Liu had drunk enough, Xia Zhi subtly steered the conversation in a direction that interested him.

"Brother Liu, you're a local, could you tell me about some famous people from Liyue?"

"Among the famous people of Liyue, the most famous is definitely Lady Ningguang."

"Lord Ningguang?"

"Tianquan, one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, is the richest person in all of Liyue, no, on the entire continent!..."

Brother Liu spoke of Ningguang with an admiring tone.

She was powerful and wealthy, not only exceptionally intelligent but also stunningly beautiful.

This already falls into the category of top-tier rich, beautiful, and successful women.

"Originally, there was a Jade Pavilion above Liyue, a masterpiece painstakingly created by Lady Ningguang. Unfortunately, it was abandoned by Lady Ningguang and fell into the sea some time ago in order to suppress the demon god Oser."

She is indeed a qualified leader, willing to sacrifice her own efforts to protect the people.

Brother Liu then began to talk about Ningguang's three secretaries: Baixiao, Baishi, and Baiwen; Ganyu, the chief secretary of the Seven Stars of Liyue; and Keqing, the Yuheng of the Seven Stars.

"Lady Keqing sometimes comes to Huyan to eat and stroll around. I've run into her several times..."

Xia Zhi silently kept it in mind and continued to pour wine for Brother Liu.

"I heard someone mention Yunhan Society today, does Brother Liu know about it?"

"Of course! Ms. Yun from Yunhan Society is a famous actress! Her singing is wonderful! You must go to Heyu Teahouse to hear her sing..."

"I heard that there is a doctor in Liyue whose medical skills are extremely high."

"That's Physician Bai Shu from Bubulu. His medical skills are truly remarkable. Last time I had a headache, I went to him for treatment, he prescribed two doses of medicine, and I was cured after taking them! You could go see him for your eyes; maybe he can cure them!"

"Does Brother Liu like reading?"

"I don't have much time to look at this, and I can't really focus on it..."

"With so many laws in Liyue, Brother Liu, if you don't study them, won't you easily suffer losses in business?"

"Haha, I usually ask Miss Yanfei to take a look for me."

"And who is Miss Yanfei?"

"She is the best legal consultant in Liyue. She has memorized every law. No matter what problem you encounter, as long as you go to her office, you can always get a satisfactory answer. It's just that her fees are a bit expensive."

"I see."

Xia Zhi nodded thoughtfully, then smiled and poured Brother Liu another glass of wine.

"Brother Liu, another drink."

In his "eyes," the black iron-colored progress bar on Brother Liu's body was almost full.

Progress: [90%]

Chapter Twenty-One: Rumors about Juice

After a pleasant dinner, the two parted ways at the entrance of Wanmintang.

Xia Zhi watched Liu Ge's retreating figure; the black iron progress bar on his body had already disappeared.

A black iron-colored treasure chest lay quietly in the inventory.

Brother Liu is such a good person.

He treats you to a meal, answers all your questions, and even gives you a treasure chest.

Xia Zhi recalled that when there was half a bottle of wine left at the end of a meal, Brother Liu resolutely refused to drink it, saying that he was afraid of getting drunk and delaying the fishing the next day.

It's a real pity that such a straightforward, hospitable, and self-disciplined man hasn't found a wife yet.

However, Brother Liu has always wanted to buy a house in Yujingtai, perhaps because he plans to find a rich woman there later.

Xia Zhi glanced at Wanmintang's kitchen, where the little panda was still diligently helping to stoke the fire behind the stove.

The golden progress bar attached to it showed no increase.

The progress is still at 0%.

Not urgent.

Although Xia Zhi didn't interact with it in any way tonight, he already knew from Brother Liu that its name was Guoba and that it was Xiangling's little follower.

With this information, that is enough.

He decided to come to Wanmintang for a meal every day from now on.

Xia Zhi turned and left, slowly walking back to the hostel along the street.

His biggest gain tonight was still that black iron treasure chest.

Open the system panel, and a row of item information will be displayed.
