Chapter 471 Gu Sanqiu: Waste is shameful
Liyue Harbor finally quieted down late at night. Gamblers who had lost most of the night were looking for barrels to cover their shame. Young men who were looking for beauty had already made arrangements if they had found their targets, and those who couldn't find them went home obediently.
In short, it highlights the silence and makes people feel relaxed.
Zhongli came to Gu Sanqiu's door, but before he could reach out his hand, the door of Gu's house opened automatically, as if it had recognized Emperor Yanwang.
"Oh, you really don't have any vigilance at all, you little brat."
Zhongli walked slowly towards the incense room. The moment he stepped into it, the dark shadow that had once fought against the cook appeared again and stood quietly behind Zhongli.
"No need to protect me, go out, this is not the Liyue Harbor of the past."
After listening to this, the black shadow turned around silently, but still stood guarding the door of the incense room like a door god, and did not listen to Zhongli's words at all.
"Although three hundred new sprouts are not a lot, they are enough for the current stage."
Zhongli untied the bag and dropped each new sprout into the cauldron.
“Nothing has changed in recent years.”
The black shadow still had his back turned. After hearing Zhongli's question, he slowly shook his head, then nodded and pointed to Gu Sanqiu's room.
Zhongli suddenly laughed: "The world is about to change, and I can't do anything about it. I can't keep him locked up in Liyue Harbor forever. Don't you have any idea of your own character? Can you stay idle?"
The shadow stopped talking. Perhaps his sore spot had been touched, so he decided to give Zhongli a slap on the back of his head and ignore him.
As the new buds fell, the light on the cauldron brightened slightly, and then black gas rushed out from the ground, covering up the light and the gradually spreading mysterious fluctuations.
"Haha, I haven't been here for a long time. The furnishings haven't changed. It seems that what Xiao Shuwen said about my family members being a bunch of idiots who don't understand beauty and art was not wrong."
It's been a long time since I came here as Morax.
The black shadow followed Zhongli to the stone table in the courtyard. After the other party sat down, he quickly brewed a pot of tea and then walked to the yam apple tree.
This health-preserving tree, which would surely be snatched up by middle-aged people if promoted, shook, and two apples and a piece of rhizome fell off from the main body.
It even peeled the fruit consciously before handing it to Zhongli.
"Um?"
" I didn't seem to have this kind of spirituality the last time I came here. An epiphany?"
The dark figure standing next to him shook his head and pointed to the incense room.
"I see. He is a lucky little fellow."
Zhongli lightly swiped his finger and sent the apple into a mysterious space.
"Haha, just consider it as a little comfort to the little mouse."
The black shadow tilted his head, then very reluctantly stretched out his hand and gave a thumbs up, then shook his head.
"I find that I am increasingly unable to understand what you are expressing."
As the black shadow pointed at the apple tree again and then at the soil, Zhongli suddenly realized.
"You mean, he'll think that what I'm giving him are fruits and vegetables specially prepared for the dead?"
The shadow nodded.
“Hahaha, that’s not bad either.”
Zhongli sipped the tea and said, "Mm, good tea. This tea seems to be from the Xianxian trees in Qiaoying Manor. Little Walnut also sneaked in last time and tasted some. It tasted like this."
The black shadow held his forehead with his hand, then slowly dissipated.
Zhongli glanced at the place where the shadow disappeared and said calmly: "It's just some tea leaves, what do you mean by this?"
The black gas gathered again, and a right hand with a thumbs up rose tremblingly from the ground, and then disappeared at the speed of light.
…
Forget it. After all, I watched as Liyue Harbor was built brick by brick.
Zhongli drank his tea calmly and decided to forget about the psychopath who made him want to suppress him with his rock spear.
Early the next morning, Gu Sanqiu got up from the bed and floated out of the room in a daze, accidentally bumping into the door frame.
"Hmm? What a nice smell?"
Gu Sanqiu half-closed his eyes and stretched his neck to sniff carefully: "Why does it feel a little familiar..."
"Shit! This is my Xianxian Tea!"
Gu Sanqiu instantly perked up and quickly came to the source of the fragrance. The teacups and teapots on the stone table were placed neatly, as if the distance and direction had been measured with a ruler.
All in all, this is a teacup that is very ceremonial.
"You made a pot of tea and only drank one cup?"
Gu Sanqiu was heartbroken: "This is Xianxian Tea, my Lord. I can't get much of this good stuff all year round, how can someone waste it like this!"
According to legend, the source of Qiaoying Manor is that the mysterious medicine king would sweat easily when he wielded the pestle. Birds that liked the aroma of tea would bring seeds, and tender green seedlings would slowly grow up watching the rise and fall of the pestle.
It is said that what the birds brought were not tea seeds in the broad sense, but the most common grass seeds.
To use the words circulating in the market, even if it is the most ordinary seed, but it has been with the immortals for many years and has been imbued with immortal energy, it is also a very valuable thing!
Although it is debatable whether these Xianxian tea trees really grow by absorbing the sweat of immortals, it is undeniable that the quality of these Xianxian tea trees is indeed very good and they are always at the top of the list of "prohibited export goods".
Apart from Gu Sanqiu and a certain guest official of the Wangsheng Hall who had a relationship that could not be made public, the Seven Stars of Liyue probably didn't get enough of themselves, and basically only gave a little as a gift on important occasions.
At that time, Gu Sanqiu thought it was a good thing that Wendy quit her job, and that old slacker didn't like drinking tea either.
Otherwise, given the relationship between Liyue and Mondstadt, it would be strange if there were not ten or eight "important meetings between the two countries" every time the Xianxian Tea was ready to be harvested.
Gu Sanqiu originally wanted to go to Yaolu Weng to inquire about it. After all, judging from his title, it was clear that this guy was from the same unit as Yaojun.
However, Yaolu Weng refused with the reason that "You must be thinking about controlling the sales of tea all day long", and by the way, he slapped Gu Sanqiu with his cat claws and flew him to Yunlai Sea.
Over time, the tea trees of that time have grown into the living fossil of Liyue. If there is any unofficial organization outside that can be protected by the Thousand Rocks Army, Qiaoying Manor is definitely one of them.
Not to mention being cut off by the daring treasure-stealing gang, anyone who dares to get close will be captured on the spot by the Qianyan Army, leaving you no chance to defend yourself or quibble.
"My tea."
Gu Sanqiu shook the teapot with a look of heartache, then poured out the remaining tea and drank it down his throat.
"Hmm, the taste is just average, or is it because of the overnight tea?"
I won't elaborate on how it feels to be heartbroken. Anyway, with Mona's living standard, the money exchanged for this pot of tea is enough for her to live in tears of joy for several years.
"Should I install an early warning array or something at home? Otherwise, I won't know who's coming in. How can I do this?"
After thinking about it, Gu Sanqiu decided to give up. After all, he didn't set the rules, and if he changed them rashly, there might be some problems.
"It's just some tea leaves, it's okay!"
Gu Sanqiu gritted his teeth: "Don't let me know who did it, otherwise, otherwise..."
Thinking of a possibility with a very high probability, Gu Sanqiu suddenly felt that his momentum weakened by nine points.
"I'll go to Qiaoying Manor and ask for some more!"
