Hu Tao shrugged.
"What can we do? It's our own guest, so we have to foot the bill."
However, things have been much easier lately.
In the past few months, Wangshengtang has not received any orders from Mingxingzhai; all the orders have been from teahouses, restaurants, and the like.
Here, I must thank you again, young master.
If it weren't for his help in paying the guest elders, the finances of Wangshengtang would probably be in even worse shape.
What a kind person! What a kind person!
Xing slammed his hand on the table.
"Young master... Young master? Oh no! He just invited us to dinner! We shouldn't have let him go!"
At least pay for the meal before you leave!
Upon hearing this, Hu Tao and the others broke out in a black line on their foreheads.
It is truly a blessing for the young master to know you!
................
Inside the Northern Bank.
The young master has returned here.
"Go ahead."
Beside him, a debt collector handed a piece of information to the young master.
"Young Master, we have made a slight progress on the matter you asked us to investigate."
Upon hearing this, the young master frowned, his face showing displeasure.
"A trace? What does that mean?"
The debt collector paused for a moment before reporting.
"I have reviewed all the intelligence files, but I have not found any information about those girls."
I couldn't find anything about her birthplace, her life story, or anything else.
The young master was very dissatisfied.
"A bunch of useless people, can't even handle this simple matter?"
Upon seeing that the young master was angry, the debt collector quickly said...
"However, we found a piece of information that the gray-haired girl is not appearing in Liyue for the first time."
Just last night, one of our guys saw that gray-haired girl.
Furthermore, no information about her staying at any inn could be found in Liyue Harbor.
They came directly from the shrine to the deceased today, but I didn't see her enter it last night!
The young master was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.
"Oh? Are you sure it's the same person?"
He nodded repeatedly, completely certain.
"It's the same person. In the entire Liyue Harbor, her gray hair is too eye-catching."
She was the only one dressed like this.
Upon hearing this, the young master asked.
"Who's in charge of keeping an eye on the Hall of Rebirth? Call him over and double-check."
The debt collector replied.
"It was indeed me. I can assure you, I did not see that gray-haired girl last night."
What the debt collector didn't know was that his whereabouts had already been exposed to Zhong Li.
Zhongli used a trick to block his surveillance.
After hearing this, the young master became even more curious about Xing and the others.
"Interesting, there are no records of his past deeds."
"Did it appear out of nowhere? That's certainly interesting..."
Chapter 187, Hu Tao: I'll Give You a Kick
Time flies.
Before we knew it, night had fallen.
Led by Kurumi, Hoshi, Kiana, March 7th, and Mei arrived at the Manmindo.
The Wanmin Hall was bustling with activity; there were many customers dining there.
Wanmintang is a place where food is delicious and inexpensive, and many ordinary people in Liyue Harbor choose to eat here.
Although the price is cheap, the taste and the freshness of the ingredients are undeniable.
In particular, the young cook Xiangling has won over the taste buds of many diners with her culinary skills, and her reputation has spread far and wide. Many people in neighboring Sumeru and Mondstadt have heard of her name.
Hu Tao walked into Wanmintang and headed straight for the kitchen.
Walnut lifted the curtain, and inside the kitchen, spatulas clattered, and the flames illuminated the entire kitchen in a fiery red glow.
An older man and a young girl with her hair in a bun were standing in front of the stove, constantly stirring the vegetables in the pot.
Walnut has her hands behind her back.
"Yo yo yo~ Xiangling, busy?"
Xiangling, who was cooking, turned around and was overjoyed when she saw Hu Tao.
"Hu Tao! It's you!"
Hu Tao walked into the kitchen, picked up a washed apple from the cutting board, took a bite, and walked over to Xiang Ling.
"Yes, I've brought some new friends. Where shall we sit?"
Xiangling said upon hearing this.
"The usual place, the rooftop on the second floor."
Walnut nodded.
The rooftop terrace on the second floor of Wanmintang is not open to the public. Generally, only people like Xiangling's friends or important figures like Ningguang can dine there.
It's quiet, you won't be disturbed by other people, and the scenery is beautiful. It's a pity that from the pier overlooking Chihu Rock, you can also see Qunyu Pavilion and Tianheng Mountain.
Hu Tao nodded in satisfaction.
"Hmm~ Not bad, not bad~ Xiangling, you've made progress. I have high hopes for you."
As she spoke, Hu Tao patted Xiang Ling's shoulder forcefully, and Xiang Ling almost dropped the spatula.
Xiangling rolled her eyes at Hu Tao.
"Go away, go away, don't disturb me while I'm cooking."
Hu Tao gave a wicked laugh.
Hehe~
"By the way, why don't you come up and grab something to eat later? I'll introduce you to some friends."
Xiangling readily agreed.
"Sure, go upstairs and sit for a while. I'll have your food ready soon."
Hu Tao nodded, turned around and walked out of the kitchen.
As I passed by Guoba sitting on a small stool washing vegetables, I gently kicked its bouncy, bouncy bottom.
Guoba was attacked by Hutao and was about to retaliate in anger, but Hutao immediately ran away, not giving Guoba a chance to get revenge at all.
Chef Mao, who was cooking nearby, burst into laughter when he saw this scene.
"Little Walnut is still so clever and mischievous."
Xiangling pouted.
"Don't even mention it, Hu Tao is so mean, she just loves to bully me and Guoba."
Master Mao looked at his precious daughter, who resembled a complaining little woman, and burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha!"
After Hu Tao came out, she led Xing, Kiana, and the others up to the second floor.
On the second-floor rooftop.
In the very center is a round dining table, next to which is a swing, and the railing is filled with flowers.
Hu Tao turned around and introduced.
"We've arrived. This place is basically the secret base for me, Xiangling, Xingqiu, Chongyun, and the others~"
Xing was a little surprised when she heard this.
"You also have secret bases?"
As she spoke, Xing tugged at March 7th, who was standing to the side.
“In March, I think we can also build a secret base.”
Upon hearing this, March 7th thought for a moment.
"That's possible, but the problem is, where should we choose? There's nowhere on the train for us to make a secret base."
Xing thought for a moment.
"How about we go to Belloberg's place? Anyway, there's a teleportation portal in Ye Yun's carriage, it's just a few steps away."
March 7th thought it was feasible.
"Okay, let's go look for it when we have time."
Afterwards, the group played around on the rooftop.
On the seventh day of the third month, they played on the swings while holding the stars.
On March 7th, sitting on the swing, she smiled very brightly.
"Haha! This is so much fun! This place is so big, it's much more fun than the swing in Ye Yun's carriage!"
"Star! Higher! Higher!"
Upon hearing this, Xing chuckled, gathered his strength in both hands, and pushed hard.
He was all smiles just a second ago on March 7th.
next second.
"Ah!!! Star!!!"
Because Xing used too much force, March 7th started playing with a giant windmill while sitting on the swing.
The swing spun around dozens of times before finally stopping. By then, March 7th had already fainted.
Seeing this, Mei quickly picked up March 7 and placed it on a nearby bench so that it could rest.
A few minutes later.
March 7th swayed as he sat up.
The first thing he did after regaining consciousness on March 7th was to settle scores with Xing.
"star!"
..............
More than ten minutes later.
Xiangling prepared the meal and served it along with the crispy rice crust.
