I write novels in Liyue

Just as Hu Tao was about to take out her Mora to pay, Fang Qiu preemptively paid with Mora.

"Hehe, since my Fang Qiu is going to treat us, I'll gladly accept."

Hu Tao said with a smile.

"Alright, let's go wait at a table outside. The staff should bring it out to us when it's ready."

Fang Qiu smiled faintly and said.

"Uh-huh."

Hu Tao nodded and followed Fang Qiu. The two of them returned to the spots that Xiang Ling and Guo Ba had taken.

……

I've been writing this far.

Chapter Fifty-Seven: Fishing from the Ship's Side

Guoba and Xiangling sat on one side, while Fang Qiu and Hu Tao sat on the other side of the table.

"Fang Qiu, what do you think? This shop is alright, isn't it? Does it look like Mondstadt from your book?"

As soon as Hu Tao sat down, she put her hands on the edge of the table, tilted her head and looked at Fang Qiu with a smug look on her face, and asked in a low voice with a smile.

"Hmm, they do look quite similar."

Seeing Hu Tao's smiling face, Fang Qiu smiled and nodded.

They had only been chatting for a short while when drinks and cake were served.

The images and descriptions of the famous instant noodles from a certain past life are for reference only; please refer to the actual product.

The instant noodles pictured by a certain chef featured large chunks of beef, accompanied by large pieces of vegetables and bright red broth.

But what's the reality?

Open the instant noodles and soak them.

The soaked beef was only about the size of a little fingernail, and the vegetables were all just crumbs.

Even the soup isn't as red as in the picture!

The actual cakes sold in this store are almost identical to those in the pictures.

It was made very exquisitely.

It doesn't look like it was rushed out on-site; it was probably made in advance.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so fast.

"Fang Qiu, quickly try it and see if you like it."

"Hu Tao said expectantly."

"Ah."

Fang Qiu nodded, cut a small piece with her silver fork, and put it in her mouth.

The smooth cream, the refreshing fruit flavor, and the soft cake create a delightful three-fold sensation that instantly fills your mouth.

This made Fang Qiu's eyes light up.

The taste was surprisingly good.

It was even more delicious than the small cakes she ate in her previous life.

I don't know if it's because the pastry chefs in Mondstadt are highly skilled and have advanced techniques, or if the small cakes she bought in her previous life were too cheap, resulting in a significantly inferior taste.

"How does it taste? Is it delicious?"

"Hu Tao asked curiously."

"It tastes pretty good, sweet and sour."

Fang Qiu said.

"Really? Can I try some?"

"Hu Tao asked."

"Ah."

Fang Qiu nodded gently and pushed the porcelain plate containing the cake towards Hu Tao.

Hu Tao gently cut a piece of cake and put it in her mouth, exclaiming that it was delicious. Then she cut a piece of her own cake and handed it to Fang Qiu's red lips.

"Huh?"

Fang Qiu was slightly taken aback, and her red eyes narrowed slightly.

Walnut just ate her cake with a fork, right?

Now cut another piece for yourself.

Isn't this an indirect kiss? And it's even oral.

Fang Qiu looked at Hu Tao, who seemed unaware of the indirect kiss.

Or is it that Liyue doesn't have the concept of indirect kissing?

But none of that matters anymore.

Since Hu Tao had practically offered her the cake, she couldn't very well refuse.

He could only open his mouth slightly.

She let Hu Tao feed her the cake.

Then, Fang Qiu pursed her red lips slightly, and Hu Tao understood immediately, gently pulling out the fork.

There were still bits of cream left on the fork that Fang Qiu hadn't managed to wipe off.

"How is it? Is it delicious? Which of these two is better?"

"Hu Tao asked."

"They're all pretty good, but I personally prefer the apple one a little more."

Fang Qiu stuck out her little tongue and licked the cream stuck to her lips. After thinking for a moment, she said.

"I see."

Hu Tao stroked her chin, then subtly gave Xiang Ling a wink.

"Fang Qiu, you should try mine too."

Xiangling immediately understood, smiled, and pushed her plate of cake toward Fang Qiu.

"Ah."

Fang Qiu nodded, picked up his fork, cut off a piece, and put it in his mouth.

Xiangling's cake is sweeter, and with the addition of cream, it becomes a little too rich.

However, this is probably just a matter of taste.

"So, which of these three is the tastiest?"

"Hu Tao asked."

"Hmm... I guess it'll have to be apple flavored."

Fang Qiu thought for a moment and then said.

She prefers the texture of apple jam mixed with cream.

"I see."

Hu Tao smiled and said, "Then let's get started."

"Ah."

Fang Qiu and Xiang Ling nodded.

The three of them ate cake while chatting casually about everyday things.

For example, when Xiangling was cooking, Guoba actually stole some of the golden shrimp balls that Xiangling was making for the guests, so she punished Guoba by making him add fuel to the stove.

When he said this, Guoba, who was sitting next to Xiangling, looked very aggrieved.

Meanwhile, Hu Tao continued to manage her business, remarking that the wilderness had become so safe lately that none of the peach-level clients she had her eye on had come to visit.

She also mentioned wanting to visit her home next time the Southern Cross fleet returns to Liyue Harbor to promote her sea burial and encoffining package.

The crew of the Southern Cross fleet were also her Peach Class clients.

She also specially prepared the same preferential policies for the Southern Cross fleet as those for the Adventurers' Guild.

The Hall of Rebirth can prioritize the requests from the Southern Cross fleet and also offers one hundred specially made wooden boxes free of charge.

It also supports on-site recycling services, covering most of Liyue. For areas outside its coverage or in particularly dangerous locations…

You'll have to pay more.

Fang Qiu smiled after hearing this. He knew the sailors must have looked very unhappy after hearing Hu Tao promote the package deal.

After all, it's at sea.

It's inevitable that there will be storms from time to time, and people might just disappear without a trace.

Moreover, being accompanied by a battle-crazed captain who leads a ship full of people to challenge the sea mountain, the probability of dying on the spot is extremely high.

But Walnut doesn't sell insurance; it sells funeral services.

As for what happens after death, it makes no difference whether you book the service or not.

The person is already dead, why bother with all that?

"Hu Tao, you must stay calm. Big Sister Beidou can be terrifying when she gets angry. Be careful she doesn't hang you on the ship's side to fish."

Xiangling's face changed, and she quickly said, "Once when I was helping out in the kitchen on a ship, I heard someone say that last time a crew member made a mistake, he was hung on the ship's side and fished by Sister Beidou."

"Oh, that's scary, I'm not going."
