Chapter 370 Preparations(1/2)
After being forced into a bunch of seemingly unreasonable tasks by Ning Guang, Bai Qiyun walked out of Qunyu Pavilion with a speechless face.
Thanks to her, he won't be able to stop for the next half month.
Back in the restaurant, Ying and Mona, dressed as waiters, were already shuttling back and forth in the private room. It must be said that the speed of the two of them changing roles was really fast.
In order not to disturb the work of several people, he chose an opportunity to sneak into the warehouse in the backyard and rummage for information about the Evergreen Banquet.
One of the tasks that Ningguang entrusted to him just now is to coordinate the communication between Zhongli and the old man. In order to achieve this goal, he also has to know more about the Evergreen Banquet.
"Woo?"
Before he could rummage through a few books, there was a sound from the cabinet next to him.
I saw a furry white creature crawling out from the top of the cabinet and stretching towards Bai Qiyun.
It's Xiaobai.
I haven’t seen him in more than a month, and this guy seems to have gained a lot of weight.
Maybe it was because Shen He didn't control the amount of food he fed, and because the pig just lay on the spot without exercising all day long, just like those previous wild boars with imbalanced yin and yang, that's why it grew like this.
It sounds like Mona staying in the house in Mondstadt.
"come over."
He hooked his hand towards Xiaobai, and the little guy reluctantly moved his buttocks and slipped into his arms, intending to start a new round of catching up on sleep.
But Bai Qiyun couldn't let this guy get what he wanted, so he directly grabbed the little guy's tail and picked him up.
"Ouch?"
The feeling of separation from his body hanging in mid-air made the little guy suddenly wake up from his sleep. His two little eyes turned around a few times, and he began to struggle to stretch out his legs in Bai Qiyun's hand.
However, its non-threatening struggle could only gradually become powerless in the young man's hands, and it finally had to hang its head as if resigned to its fate.
But Bai Qiyun would not be deceived by its appearance. The pair of furry ears were trembling slightly. As long as he was not careful, this guy would slip out of his hands.
He has seen this kind of trick a lot.
This coquettish fox still wants to use this trick to deceive him.
"Just be patient."
Forcefully stuffing Xiaobai into his arms, Bai Qiyun began today's information review.
The fox whimpered and had no choice but to succumb to his master's power.
Speaking of which, this was not the case when the two of them first met.
Bai Qiyun flipped through the books in his hands, but what came to his mind was the scene from ten years ago.
Ten years ago, after the drastic changes in Liyue Port, he made a request to the old man to learn cooking skills.
It was at that time that the original little white cat might have experienced some kind of disease due to the fire, and it soon died of the disease.
But at that time, he was immersed in the sadness of his parents' death, so the death of his old playmate caused much less fluctuation.
After burying the white cat under the tree in the backyard, he still read and practiced cooking in the warehouse every day, until a certain lowly figure appeared in front of him.
On a drizzly day, the boy was holding a book as usual and studying the recipes recorded in it.
Suddenly, a thin fox slipped through the half-opened window and slipped into the warehouse to escape the light rain outside.
One person and one fox met in such a scene.
Perhaps out of commemoration of the little white cat, Bai Qiyun didn't think too much and directly named the fox Xiaobai.
And this guy stayed in the restaurant with peace of mind and became a mascot-like existence.
Unlike ordinary creatures, Xiaobai is extremely understanding of human nature and can even understand human speech.
Although Bai Qiyun didn't know much about the world at that time, he thought that this fox must be related to the fairy families in the rumors, so he turned a blind eye to its sometimes outrageous behavior.
It has been almost ten years since then. Seeing Xiao Bai who has not aged at all, Bai Qiyun is more and more sure of his original guess.
"Don't bite the clothes."
Realizing that the fox in his arms was using the hem of his coat to practice teething, Bai Qiyun gently tapped the back of the little guy's head with the edge of his book.
In an instant, the movement in his arms became quiet.
After seeing Xiao Bai arching towards his abdomen and not moving any further, Bai Qiyun returned his energy to the book in his hand.
The Evergreen Banquet is the first banquet in Liyue since ancient times, and the items and etiquette included are extremely complicated.
Compared with the cooking process, these red tapes are the real headache for Qixing.
For example, the Evergreen Banquet in history required each household to provide certain ingredients to prepare the banquet together. However, in Liyue Port today, there are many residents, and they are imported. These ingredients want to be collected one by one from the residents, and then
Checking whether it contains harmful substances is a big job.
How to simplify this process that does not adapt to the times is one of Bai Qiyun's tasks.
There is also the grand scale of the Evergreen Banquet, and the old man can only be responsible for the key points. If you want to hold a large-scale banquet in the same city, the number of chefs is naturally indispensable. How to arrange the manpower and the control of the dishes themselves are another difficulty.
.
Fortunately, he does not need to solve this problem alone. As long as the news of the Evergreen Banquet is released, all the famous chefs will flock to it, and there should be more people on hand.
According to the process in the record, the Evergreen Banquet should extend from the entrance of Liyue Port to the exit at the foot of Tianheng Mountain. The first floor of the sky is used as the transportation hub, connecting various pathways, with banquets and congratulations placed on both sides of the road.
Invite people.
But no matter how specific the matter was, the books in his hand did not record too much. After all, it was a banquet that had disappeared for a long time, and the author could not be forced to record it in detail.
Bai Qiyun put down the book in his hand and sighed.
This book was already the one he could find in the warehouse that recorded the most information about the Evergreen Banquet. If he wanted to know more, he would have to seek help from others.
When it comes to books in Liyue Port, the only friends he can find are...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "You really want to go to that guy?"
————
Liyue Port, Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.
As the Hai Lantern Festival approaches, the interior of the Chamber of Commerce has become busy, with a busy atmosphere everywhere.
Bai Qiyun was walking in the crowded aisle and stopped a guy who looked familiar.
"Is your second young master at home?"
The boy who was pulled was about to have a fit, but as soon as he saw the person coming, his expression immediately changed, with a smile on his lips.
"Hello, Master Bai. If you are looking for the second young master, he should be over there at the lotus pond now. Otherwise, why don't you go there and take a look?"
Lotus pond?
"I see."
After nodding to the waiter, Bai Qiyun left and headed to the lotus pond in front of Bubu Lu.
"Yeah, I see, that's what it is."
Beside the lotus pond, Xingqiu couldn't help but nodded as he listened to Bai Qiyun's words.
"It's just some books. Brother Bai can check them out at will. Fortunately, I have collected some books before. It would be great to be able to help."
Previously, in order to find a solution for Chongyun's Pure Yang Body, as well as some writing needs, a warehouse of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce was requisitioned by Xingqiu as a place for his own book collection.
Because there is no large public reading place in Liyue, his warehouse is also one of the few places that Bai Qiyun has access to.
"Thank you, your Chamber of Commerce will also take some action during the Hai Lantern Festival. I see that everyone in the Chamber of Commerce is very busy."
Now that the book matter has been resolved, Bai Qiyun is not in a hurry to take the next step.
After all, the next steps must be organized into a plan based on the information and be carried out slowly, so we can't be impatient.
"Ah, speaking of which, our Chamber of Commerce has contracted the fireworks task for the Hai Lantern Festival. Liyue Qixing and the others have approached the Chamber of Commerce once before."
When he mentioned the fireworks, Xingqiu narrowed his eyes with a smile.
He had used this thing to prank Chongyun once before, so this Lantern Festival should be more fun.
Just when the two were chatting happily, a beautiful shadow hurriedly passed by the lotus pond, and a fragrant breeze floated.
"so..."
Before Bai Qiyun could finish speaking, a soft hand climbed onto his shoulder from behind and held him firmly.
"Eh?"
There was an inexplicable aroma coming from behind, and the smell was somewhat familiar to him.
Coupled with this kind of silent action, wouldn't it be...
"Lack of manpower, temporary requisition."
Keqing's words were as brief as ever, and she didn't give Bai Qiyun any room to refuse, as if things should be like this after they came out of her mouth.
Seeing this, Xingqiu waved his hand, indicating that it had nothing to do with him.
"Please."
To be continued...
