Star Train: Go crazy, all of you go crazy!

After we finish eating, let's take a stroll around Liyue Harbor.

Let me tell you, last time we found a perfume shop called Spring Fragrance Kiln, and Hu Tao said their perfumes are the best in all of Liyue Harbor!

They say it's all made from naturally picked flowers; we definitely have to go see it later!

Liu Ying nodded slightly; she really enjoyed the feeling of shopping with her friends.

"Ok!"

Emerald, who was nearby, also heard what March 7th said.

"In March, I'll go with you to take a look."

Upon hearing this, March 7th readily agreed.

"Great! Shopping is more fun with lots of people!"

The group chatted as they walked.

Xing, March 7th, and Liuying would run over to see any interesting stalls they saw.

Things like shadow puppetry, street performances, and jade gambling.

The group quickly passed through Chihuyan Square and entered the street where Xiangling's Wanmintang was located.

As they walked, suddenly a person blocked their way.

"Oh, what a coincidence, Xing and Master Hu, you're here too?"

Xing looked in the direction of the voice and was somewhat surprised to see who it was.

"Young master? You're here too?"

The young master was carrying a pile of kebabs in his arms, and holding a half-eaten beef kebab in his hand.

The young master laughed heartily.

"Haha, right, isn't it lunchtime? I was thinking of going to Wanmintang for dinner. Isn't Xiangling at Wanmintang today?"

To my surprise, I just found out that Xiangling had a group meal appointment tonight and was unavailable.

There was nothing I could do but buy some kebabs from Old Li's next door.

"And you? Are you here for dinner too? Why don't you join us? I'll have someone reserve a table at Liuli Pavilion."

Upon hearing this, Xing shook her head and politely declined the young master's offer.

"No need, we're just going to Xiangling's place for dinner. Xiangling is treating us."

Upon hearing this, the young master revealed an expression of realization.

"So you guys ordered the group meal from Xiangling? Okay, then let's do it next time. We'll go to Liuli Pavilion for another meal next time."

"Star, when are you free? Let's spar again! I learned a lot from our last spar; I even developed a new move."

Xing thought about it after hearing this.

"I might be busy these next few days. How about later? I'm busy with something right now."

Chapter 218, Spider: One Bite After Another

Upon hearing this, the young master chuckled and replied.

"Sure, I'm free anytime. We can talk when you're available."

"By the way, these skewers are really good, want to try some? I just bought them."

Upon hearing this, Xing waved her hand dismissively.

"No way! I'll be eating Xiangling's delicious meal soon, who would want to eat your roadside kebabs?"

The young master scratched his head.

"That's true."

Okay, I'll head back now. Enjoy your meal.

Afterwards, the young master parted ways with Xing and the others, heading towards the direction of the Northern Bank.

Xing and the others continued towards the Hall of Ten Thousand People.

A dozen minutes later.

The group arrived outside Wanmintang, where the outdoor area on the first floor was packed with people, bustling with noise and indicating a thriving business.

Hu Tao watched this scene and sighed.

"Tsk tsk~ Xiangling's business is really good. The customer traffic is probably the highest in the entire Liyue Harbor catering industry."

At this moment, Ningguang's little follower, Baishi, walked over.

"Master Hu, Lady Emerald, Lord Ningguang asked me to greet you all here. Please follow me. Lord Ningguang is waiting for you on the second floor."

Upon hearing this, Hu Tao flung his hand away, striking a pose of an important figure.

"Hmm~ Hmm~ Hmm~, lead the way."

Led by Bai Shi, the group went up to the second floor.

On the second floor, there was originally only one large round table, but because it was estimated that there would be more people coming tonight, Ningguang had another large round table sent over.

Next to it, there was also a tea table for drinking tea.

Ningguang, Keqing, and Yelan were sitting in front of the coffee table, chatting about something.

Zhongli stood by the fence, hands behind his back, gazing motionlessly at the distant Tianheng Mountain.

Hu Tao waved her hand.

"Sister Ningguang! Sister Yelan! Keqing! I have not failed you. I have brought Xing and the others with me."

Ningguang stood up to greet him upon hearing this.

"You've worked hard, Little Walnut. Come, everyone, come and sit down. Have a cup of tea and chat."

Walter and Ye Yun saw Zhong Li and walked over to him. The three elderly people stood by the fence and chatted while looking at the night view of Tianheng Mountain.

After exchanging pleasantries, Ningguang and her two companions got to know Himeko, Kaffa, and the others through Hu Tao's introduction.

After exchanging pleasantries, Hoshi gently tugged at the hem of Himeko's red trench coat.

Himeko turned around and looked at Hoshi with a puzzled expression.

"Xing, what's wrong?"

Xing said with a smile.

"Himeko, you chat with Ningguang and the others. I'm going to the kitchen with Mitsuki, Kiana, and Ryuki to play with Xiangling."

Himeko nodded in agreement.

"Okay, you can go, but don't cause trouble for others. Business is so good right now, they're probably very busy."

Xing gave an OK sign.

With Himeko's permission, Hoshi, Kiana, March 7, Hotaru, and Mei cheered and ran towards the kitchen.

Himeko looked at Ginrou, who was holding a game console, pulling out a chair next to the dining table, and sitting down to play the game.

Seeing this, Ji Zi asked.

"Silver Wolf, why don't you go play with Xing and the others?"

Silver Wolf glanced back at Himeko, then turned back to focus on playing the game.

"What's so fun about the kitchen? It's smoky and noisy, I'm not going there. Isn't it better to stay here and play some games?"

Himeko didn't say anything more and sat down at the coffee table to chat with Ningguang and the others.

.............

In the kitchen of Wanmintang.

Master Mao stood in front of the stove, his spatula moving so fast it was almost a blur, and the vegetables in the big pot danced as he stirred them.

On the stove next to it, there were two large pots with small fires burning underneath.

One pot is for stewing soup, and the other pot is for stewing vegetables.

The majority of customers at Wanmintang are ordinary people who don't have high demands for the food; as long as it's delicious, plentiful, and safe, that's enough for them.

With so many guests coming, Chef Mao would cook a large pot of many dishes that could be prepared in advance, so that when guests ordered, he could simply pack them up and serve them out.

For stir-fries, it's common to cook several or even ten portions at a time.

After all, Wanmintang only has Master Mao and Xiangling, so they have to prepare some dishes in advance, otherwise they won't be able to handle the workload during peak season.

Xing looked around and found Xiangling cooking.

"Xiangling, are you still busy?"

Xiangling turned around and saw that the people who came were Xing, Hu Tao and others, and she smiled happily.

"You're here! Bai Shi just told me you arrived, and I just started cooking."

I was worried you'd arrive too late, and the food wouldn't taste as good if it got cold.

Upon hearing this, Mei walked over to Xiangling's side.

"Xiangling, how about I help you cook? You'll probably be too busy to cook for so many people by yourself."

Kiana, seeing that Mei was going to help, quickly praised Mei's cooking skills.

"Mei is such a good cook! I love Mei's cooking the most!"

Upon hearing this, Xiangling pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"Then, Mei, can you make me some soup?"

Guoba, bring me the recipe and ingredients for Eight Immortals Soup.

Upon hearing this, Guoba eagerly went to get the recipe for Mei.

Xing walked over to Xiangling and craned her neck to look into the pot.

"What kind of dish is this? Xiangling."

Upon hearing this, Xiangling explained.

"Spicy shrimp, here it is, this is the recipe you bought for me this afternoon, this dish is on it."

I tried making this dish as soon as I got back, and it tasted delicious!

Xing sniffed hard.

"It smells delicious! I want to cook more of this dish later!"

Xiangling said with a smile.

"Don't worry, there will definitely be enough food for you tonight!"

"Why don't you go upstairs and play for a while? The food will probably be ready in a bit."

Xing nodded upon hearing this.

"Okay, we'll wait for you to eat together."

Then.

Xing, March 7, Kiana, and Kurumi left the kitchen.

..............

On the second-floor rooftop.

Ralts, Nine-Tailed Fox, Nine-Tailed Fox, Sakura Cat, and Emberclaw were running around on the rooftop, chasing each other and having a great time.

Spider sat on the coffee table in front of Ningguang Pink, enjoying a piece of osmanthus cake.

Spider glanced at Ralts and the other Pokémon.

Just now, Ralts and a few other Pokémon invited Spider to come and play together.

Spider-Man flatly refused the invitation. "Play? What's so fun about that? Isn't this osmanthus cake delicious?"

Ningguang put down her teacup and spoke to Emerald.
