Chapter 68 Detained Again
The two left the Hall of Purity.
Before leaving, Zhongli kindly helped lock the door.
"Oh, Hall Master Hu is really careless. He didn't even lock the door during the day." Zhongli sighed and left.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the entrance of Wanmin Hall.
"It's right here, business is really booming as expected." Zhong Li said while looking at the crowd gathering in the store.
"Indeed." Eve looked at so many people, a little scared.
If there is a queue, how long will it last?
"Hello, welcome, may I ask... Ah, it's Mr. Zhongli!" Xiangling had just finished serving a table of dishes.
"Well, I heard you were here today, so we came." Zhong Li said to Xiang Ling.
"Hey, who is this person next to you?" Xiang Ling looked curiously at the white-haired elder sister next to Zhong Li.
Ever since seeing her, Xiang Ling couldn't seem to take her eyes away.
It's so beautiful.
Moreover, Xiangling seemed to feel a familiar feeling, but she couldn't tell what it was.
Eve looked at Xiang Ling and felt a little scared in her heart.
"She is a friend of mine. Today is her first time in Liyue Port, so I brought her to try the famous Wanmin Tang in Liyue." Zhongli continued.
"Of course it's no problem. Thank you Mr. Zhongli for the compliment, but you guys need to wait for a while." Xiang Ling said regretfully.
"After all, business is so good today, there are no seats left."
"Okay, let's wait a moment..." Zhongli said.
"Oh, I guess I have to wait for a long time." Eve said helplessly as she looked at so many people.
As soon as Eve finished speaking, a voice suddenly came.
"This lady doesn't have a seat! Come on, I've just finished eating. Sit here."
Zhongli and Xiangling looked over immediately and saw a man coming in front of Eve and speaking attentively.
"Ah, this is not good! You still have so many dishes that you haven't finished." Eve saw that there were still some dishes on the man's table.
"It's okay, it's okay, I naturally eat less." The man continued.
"Come and pay." The man shouted inside.
Seeing this scene, both Xiangling and Zhongli sighed helplessly.
But the seats were available, and after the man paid, he left.
Before leaving, the man wanted to invite Eve to watch the lanterns at night, but Eve politely refused.
The man left sadly.
"Boy, what do you want to eat?" Xiang Ling handed the menu to Zhongli and Eve, but her eyes never left Eve.
"Let Mr. Zhongli do it." Eve sat demurely and pushed the menu in front of Zhongli.
"Then come...a piece of Sifang Heping, a piece of meat roll stuffed with pine mushrooms, and a piece of Wanmintang's specialty boiled fish..."
Zhongli soon reported a lot of dish names.
Eve sat quietly next to her, while Xiangling kept writing the pen in her hand.
"Okay, Mr. Zhongli, that's it, right?" Xiangling finally wrote down the names of all the dishes.
"Well, Eve, let's see what else you want to order? Oh, by the way, you can't order wine." Zhongli ordered.
"Hehe... No, there's already a lot. I don't have anything else to highlight." Eve smiled politely.
"Okay, please wait a moment, the dishes will be served in a moment." Xiangling took the menu and returned to the kitchen.
"Sure enough, Wanmin Hall is the only one with such fireworks." Zhong Li sighed as he took a sip of tea.
"Yes!" Eve said boredly, playing with the teacup in front of her.
There was a buzz of people around.
After a while, the dishes were served one by one.
"I wish you both a pleasant meal." After Xiangling said hello, she went to other tables.
"No need to be formal." Zhongli took the lead and moved his chopsticks.
Eve also picked up the chopsticks. This was the first time she used chopsticks after traveling through time.
Previously in Mondstadt, knives and forks were the main items.
Time flies by, and there are fewer and fewer dishes on the table, which means that the meal is about to end.
Many people around were staring at Eve and the others. These two were so delicious. So many dishes were actually eaten by two people.
But looking at their body shapes, it doesn’t look like they can eat it, right?
After the meal, Zhongli wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.
"How do you feel? Are you full?" Zhongli asked thoughtfully.
"Yeah." Eve put down her chopsticks and nodded.
"Well, Xiangling, come and pay." Zhongli said to Xiangling in the distance.
"Okay, Mr. Zhongli is here." Upon hearing the voice, Xiangling ran over immediately.
Xiangling came to Zhongli's table and calculated with a pen on the paper.
"Well...Mr. Zhongli, your table has a total of 53,000 molas. I'll give you a discount, just 50,000 molas."
Xiangling handed the calculated bill to Zhongli.
"Yeah, no problem." Zhongli took the bill and took out his wallet from his pocket without looking at it.
It was a black and gold wallet, which looked very nice.
"Fifty thousand molas, right?" Zhongli said as he opened his wallet.
But after opening the wallet, there were no subsequent actions.
Zhongli just sat there quietly.
Xiangling didn't notice this, but calculated the prices of other tables on paper.
Looking at Zhongli's movements, Eve suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Eve, are you taking Maura with you?" Zhongli suddenly raised his head and asked Eve.
"Wha, what?" Eve said in shock.
It seems that she was right.
"Where's your salary?" Eve asked.
"Well...there's some small problem..."
Before Zhongli finished speaking, Eve quickly walked to Zhongli's side.
Look inside his wallet.
There was no golden mola inside, but a piece of white paper.
"What is this?" Eve asked confused.
She took out one and looked at it.
This is actually an IOU.
It reads:
Zhongli, I have discovered that you asked the girl from the funeral parlor to secretly reimburse the bills last month. I asked you why there were so many extra expenses at the Palace of Rebirth. I have already deducted your salary this month.
walnut
"This..." Eve's head got big after reading this.
Morax, what have you done?
Why do you suddenly feel that you are less reliable than Barbatos?
"You saw it too, so did you take Maura with you?" Zhong Li spread his hands and asked helplessly.
"Uh...this is a serious question." Eve said as if facing an enemy.
"No....."
"Oh, okay." Zhongli said helplessly.
"Xiang Ling, please send this bill to the Hall of Purity!" Zhong Li said righteously to Xiang Ling.
This operation shocked Eve once again.
Good guy, I was criticized just now, how dare you do it next time!
"No, Mr. Zhongli, Hall Master Hu has already told me in advance." Xiangling put down her pen and shook her head.
"She said that the debt you owe cannot be sent to the Hall of Purity recently."
"This..." Zhongli seemed to have no choice.
"So..." Eve suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Oh, there's nothing we can do." Zhongli said helplessly.
"If you two don't have Maura, please wait in the store first." Xiang Ling said scary words in a gentle tone.
"It seems that this is the only way." Zhongli calmly picked up the teacup.
"No way..." Eve's heart collapsed.
This time, the two seven-year-olds were detained in the store again because of unpaid debts.
Chapter completed!
