Chapter 157
After Xiangling absorbed the formula, Yanfei also began to return to her room.
This miraculous shop—can it really provide such props?
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes just now, Yanfei would never have believed such an outrageous thing!
It made her think of the reason why Yula had wanted to subdue those dragon lizard cubs. She seemed to understand something now.
Yula must have gotten something precious from the boss. Only then did she think about subduing dragon lizard cubs as mounts. Yes, it must be so!
Therefore, Yanfei became even more curious about her choice.
"Cardcaptor Sakura?"
After returning to her room, Yanfei looked at the picture in front of her. Magic—could it be similar to spells? So this so-called magic card should be a way to cast spells, or maybe it was a tool?
Thinking of this, Yanfei became more and more curious about it. With such a mysterious shop and the fact that the owner was from Liyue, didn't it mean that the General Affairs Department didn't know anything about it? Or maybe this boss was hiding something?
"Anyway, I'll watch the anime first!" Yanfei decided. "After I return to Liyue, I must report this matter!"
Thinking this, Yanfei opened the anime in front of her without hesitation.

As for Xiangling, she was still tormented. It had been hard to absorb and digest the experience book, but now she had mastered the process of making Mapo Tofu in Legendary!
But... unfortunately, Mondstadt didn't have tofu! Not even Jueyun Chili. If she wanted to try making it, she'd need to return to Liyue and talk it over.
No wonder the people in Mondstadt were more interested in meat. The main reason was that they weren't used to Jueyun Chili. But doesn't it mean that Mondstadt's environment is relatively humid? Plus, the wine industry was relatively developed. The largest winery in Mond had mastered half of the region's wine production.
Here, even the little ones drink. They didn't really need things like Jueyun Chili.
However, since the news in the shop wasn't kept secret, everyone knew that the scent had come from an anime!
It was an anime with more food than *Naruto*.
The name was *Xiaodangjia*.
---
After getting the news, many people decided to go to the Deer Hunter to fill their stomachs first. They said they wouldn't come at this time again, but they must watch this work!
"Gourmet anime? I really like it!"
"I don't know, what did the girl from Liyue think after she ate this dish just now!"
"Absolutely full of praise!"
"This kind of food—no, even a god would drool!"
"Shh, don't talk nonsense, Barbatos, bless me so I can get such a delicious meal~"
---
The voices of the audience had already attracted the attention of a certain Wind Archon in the store who wasn't doing business.
Just kidding, they still asked me to bless them?
I'm already drooling!
I don't know when I'll ever get to taste so many delicacies.
For Venti, there are only two pleasures in life: one is food, and the other is fine wine. Other than that, nothing else matters.
Now, as for fine wine, the temperature doesn't matter; there's enough fine wine in Mondstadt. But for other fine wines, you'd have to go to the other kingdoms of gods.
Speaking of this, Venti couldn't help but think of the time when he participated in the gathering of the Seven Gods.
"Oh~ I don't know when I'll see these friends again."
He knew that some gods were dead, some had been exiled, and others had been renewed.
But it wasn't surprising that Venti was feeling a little nostalgic.

Meanwhile, when Xiangling got her Mapo Tofu and the recipe for it, next door, Tartaglia (Childe) clutched his stomach, almost drooling!
He had stayed in Liyue for a long time and missed the Lieba and beetroot soup from the Zhidong Kingdom. But now, after smelling this unique fragrance, he couldn't hold back any longer!
"A dish from an anime?" Tartaglia mused. "That sounds very interesting!"
As one of the Fatui's Harbingers, Tartaglia was sometimes unreliable, but most of the time, he was a firm warrior.
Except under one circumstance—like now!
What kind of dish could spread its fragrance for miles?
Even Tartaglia, a well-informed executive, was deeply attracted by this smell.
The discussion from outside had already piqued Tartaglia's interest. An anime that could create such delicious food, and an anime that could make such delicious smells!
He had just been near the girl who'd received this anime-inspired dish.
From his investigations in Liyue, he knew these two girls were from Liyue.
One was Liyue's law expert. Tartaglia had dealt with her before, though only briefly. The other was Xiangling, the eldest daughter of Liyue's Wanmin Hall. While not of particularly high status, she had many connections, even among members of the Li Yueyun family.
At first, Xiangling hadn't seemed like someone Tartaglia would focus on, but after meeting an old man in Liyue, he learned about his importance.
Tartaglia decided not to continue pursuing the matter at the time.
"Forget it, forget it. Since this girl can get such a mysterious thing..." Tartaglia shrugged. "Then I, Tartaglia, shouldn't be too far behind."
Saying that, Tartaglia turned on the computer.
Among the dazzling array of anime pages, he quickly found the anime he wanted to watch.

"Zhong Er's Disease also wants to fall in love?"
After clicking play, the illustrations on the screen began to loop, and a serious voice appeared in Tartaglia's ear.
[Have you ever heard of the term "Zhong Er's disease"? It's said to be common in junior high school, a terrible yet lovely disease. It's a mix of self-awareness and daydreaming childishness, believing in one's own special powers and indulging in strange abilities…]
The moment Tartaglia clicked on the animation, he was captivated by the serious tone of the narration!
I have to say, the narration in this anime is very appealing—especially to Tartaglia, a young man who once fought to protect children's dreams!
However, Tartaglia couldn't help but wonder: is there any connection between Zhong Er's disease and these strange powers?
"This anime seems pretty good," he muttered. "Quite interesting…"
