Chapter 169

That way, she gets delicious food and can just mooch meals for herself!

Hehe, she's such a clever little thing!

"These pan-fried dumplings are way better than those in Liyue—Boss Han's comics are amazing."

Diluc also couldn't help but marvel.

In search of his father's trail, he had traveled to many places across the seven nations.

He had naturally tasted Liyue's cuisine.

But it simply couldn't compare to these pan-fried dumplings before him.

"By the way, remember yesterday Young Lady Sarah served golden egg fried rice from here—it's now famous all over Mondstadt. After reading the comic, go try it."

Diluc thought to himself silently.

"Such astonishing cuisine must be offered to the Great Black Flame Emissary."

The Lady swallowed hard.

But she dared not snatch it in the shop.

But she had subordinates,

so once they obtained the food, they could hand it over directly.

"Hehe, thanks, Boss!"

Seeing he had obtained this exquisite meal, the man was ecstatic.

He quickly expressed his gratitude to the boss.

Then hurriedly left.

He clearly remembered the desire in the eyes of those around him.

If he didn't leave quickly, he might just lose it entirely.

"Hey hey, don't run! Finders keepers!"

The other two saw their friend slip away and immediately panicked.

They hurriedly grabbed their rewards and chased after him.

Think you can just run off with the reward?

"Hey, here's an opportunity!"

Seeing an extra comic appear, Lei Ying the mage and the others rushed over.

"Don't fight over it—I want to read 'Little Chef'!"

"No way, I got this one first—I'll give you 'Otaku Disease'."

"Can I have it? If I get the food, I'll share some with you."

Clearly having seen the previous reward, all of them were especially fond of the comic 'Little Chef'.

If they could unlock food like that, it would be beyond delightful.

"Ahem!"

The Lady quickly cleared her throat and cautiously glanced at Han Feng.

Finding he wasn't paying attention here, she sighed in relief.

She didn't want to give this mysterious boss a bad impression over this matter.

Besides,

no matter who gets the food, won't it still have to be handed over?

Huh?

Not hand it over?

Do you think I won't let you experience the taste of being consumed by the Black Flame?

…

At the alley entrance.

At this moment, Venti and the Maine Coon beast arrived here with Noel.

"We're here—the Worry-Relieving Bookshop is right here."

Venti pointed into the alley.

"I never expected this shop to be so secluded!"

Seeing the signboard of the Worry-Relieving Bookshop, Noel was also surprised.

Usually, aren't shops opened in the city center?

"Maybe because Boss Han is a master?"

Venti was also puzzled.

Shouldn't a business thrive better in a bustling area?

But then he thought of the reclusive immortals in Liyue.

In that case, Boss Han being like this wasn't so strange after all.

"It must be that!"

Noel nodded seriously.

Masters think differently.

She'd have to keep that in mind for the future.

Otherwise, if a master came to her for help, she wouldn't know how to assist him.

"Excuse me, please move aside!"

Just as they were about to enter, three figures burst out from inside and ran off.

The scent of pan-fried dumplings lingered in the air.

"What is this?"

A flicker of interest crossed Noelle's face.

As a maid, cooking was her specialty.

But she had never smelled such a fragrant aroma before.

It made one's mouth water uncontrollably.

"It should have been pulled from the manga 'Little Chef.'"

·

Venti wiped the nonexistent drool from the corner of his mouth and laughed.

"Last night's Golden Egg Fried Rice was also obtained from that manga."

"So they were all obtained from there!"

A flash of shock crossed Noelle's face.

This morning, while walking through the streets, she had heard that the Hunter had presented a glowing dish.

Called Golden Egg Fried Rice.

At the time she had been curious—Mondstadt actually had such an amazing dish!

She had even planned to go try it at noon.

If it tasted good, she would try to learn to make it herself.

She just hadn't expected it was also a reward obtained from the manga shop.

"It seems I must also study this manga called 'Little Chef' well."

Noelle thought silently to herself.

Only by learning superb cooking skills could she do better when others sought her help in the future.

To have such thoughts, always considering others in everything.

One can only say she truly lives up to being the "Maid of All Trades"!

After Venti said all this, Noelle's interest in the manga shop—and in that Boss Han—had grown even greater.

With an expectant heart, she followed Venti into the manga shop.

"Hey hey, Boss Han, I'm back again!"

Venti stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Has that manga called 'Doraemon' come out yet?"

He was still keeping in mind that miraculous prop, the 【Gourmet Tablecloth】.
