Chapter 283 Stop it, you can't go into the kitchen
The quiet night was particularly gorgeous with the starry sky and bright moon. Ye Li and Hu Tao came to the reception hall with smiles on their faces. Their arm-in-arm relationship didn't look like a boss and a subordinate at all, but instead gave people a sense of inexplicable arrogance.
When Tartaglia saw the real owner coming, he immediately stood up from his chair and said cheerfully:
"Good evening, Miss Walnut, the head of the Wangsheng Hall. I am sorry for your sudden visit today. I will work with you on a few orders as an apology for this sudden visit."
"Oh, Mr. Tartaglia, you are too polite. We are not a stingy place in the Hall of Rebirth. Besides, we have already accepted the order. We respect the contract and will not violate it. Besides, there will be a good show to watch soon, so I naturally want to come and show my support."
Walnut had a lively smile on her face, with a hint of confidence that was not concealed at all, and there was a little excitement in her eyes.
When Zhongli saw Hu Tao's expression, he knew in his heart that Tartaglia was going to be in trouble again, and it would be a long-term one. So he couldn't help but look at Ye Li with suspicion when he walked in and turned his head pretending to look at the surrounding environment.
Seeing Zhongli looking at him, Ye Li gave a look that showed he was making a lot of money.
Through eye contact, Zhongli no longer advised to help Tartaglia overcome the crisis. Moreover, Ye Li had already told him through eye contact that this would be beneficial to both parties, except that the other party would lose money.
It's just money, Zhongli can create it with a wave of his hand, but he usually doesn't do it. He still has to keep accounts, so he can only sigh in his heart.
"Mr. Tartaglia, in order to prevent the hall master from getting angry with me, I will bear with you for a while. At most, I will not record the accounts of the North Country Bank in the next few times."
Tartaglia, who could not hear someone's inner voice, talked to Hu Tao about the contents of the contract again with a warm smile. Under the witness of two high-end guests, Ye Li and Zhong Li, they successfully established a new contract.
"Ye Li Ke Qing, look, we did it."
Seeing Hu Tao walking towards him with a smile on her face, Ye Li nodded seriously and said:
"Master, the details of the first step have been taken care of. The next part will be left to me. After all, all the contents of the plan are in my mind. In order to avoid any accidents, it is safer for me to do it."
"Don't worry, I've read the plan thoroughly, and the general framework has been finalized, so you don't have to worry too much about the details. Besides, we have a guest here who hangs out on the street every day, and he can handle this matter."
Hu Tao reached out and patted Ye Li's shoulder. Her confident attitude formed a sharp contrast with the look in Zhongli's eyes, as if this was the normal state for both of them.
Zhongli showed a hint of smile under his helpless and stiff expression. He understood Hu Tao's arrangement. After all, he hadn't done anything serious in the past few months. He had been busy drinking tea and walking his birds. Being assigned something this time could be regarded as a return to work.
"By the way, we've been talking for so long and it seems like everyone hasn't eaten yet. Do you want to go to Wanmin Hall and order some takeout?"
In the reception hall lit by candlelight, Ye Li raised a question that everyone present had subconsciously ignored. At the same time, Zhongli, who was sitting in front of the central teacup sipping tea, suddenly remembered something and immediately looked nervously at Hu Tao, whose eyes were shining.
"Hehehe, Yeli Keqing, you are indeed my lucky star. You actually reminded me of such an important thing. It just so happens that I bought a lot of vegetables when I was promoting my business in the vegetable market a few days ago. Today I will let you taste my cooking skills. I hope you like it."
"Wait! Master, from a common sense perspective, if we are entertaining guests, I should be the one to cook the food, so there is no need for you to do it yourself."
Zhongli stood up directly from his seat. Seeing his serious look, Ye Li couldn't help but have a bad feeling. He immediately remembered a famous meme in Mihoyo.
Never let Kaslana into the kitchen. Even if they are from another world and there is a gap between them, they cannot be allowed in.
Of course, this curse first excludes Zhongli and Mr. Baishu from Bubulu.
Ye Li immediately became serious, and together with Zhong Li, he tried his best to persuade someone to give up the idea of cooking.
Tartaglia looked at Ye Li and Zhong Li, who were so anxious that they couldn't even enter the kitchen themselves but would rather not let Hu Tao in. He felt stern and tried to speak in a puzzled tone to ease the atmosphere.
Ye Li and Zhong Li turned their heads at the same time to look at Tartaglia, with a look in their eyes that said, "If you dare to say a word, you will have to walk in through the Hall of Rebirth and come out sideways."
Feeling the pressure from the two people, the fearless Tartaglia was still about to speak, but was interrupted by Ye Li before he could open his mouth.
"By the way, Mr. Tartaglia, our sparring hasn't started yet. Why don't we go to the wide open space outside to spar? After all, the Hall of Rebirth is so large and sparsely populated, it's very suitable."
"Hey, hey, hey, guest Ye Li, you really hurt my feelings by saying this."
"Oh, Master, I'll make a better coffin as an apology next time, okay?"
"Okay, once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back. Ye Li Keqing, this is what you said, don't go back on your word."
Seeing Hu Tao's successful look, Ye Li knew that the other party had been waiting for him to say this for a long time.
No matter how you look at it, Wangshengtang has almost monopolized an industry. In terms of land and area, it ranks number one in the entire Liyue. Otherwise, how could this thousands of years old store operate?
As for the vacant spaces, they will naturally be prepared after other industries are established. There is no use for them now, so they can be used as training grounds.
……
The bright moon was shining on the sky and earth. At this moment, on the field made of some special rocks, Ye Li and Tartaglia were holding their weapons. The fierce momentum of both sides was particularly eye-catching under the moonlight, which made Walnut, who was watching the show from a distance, exclaimed:
"Wow, is this the aura of an executive officer? It's really scary. But our guest Ye Li is not bad either, and he looks very strong as well."
Looking at Hu Tao who was sitting on the wooden stool and commenting with a playful smile, Zhongli was looking seriously at the black sword in Ye Li's hand. He couldn't help but recall the back of a man who was also wearing a blue and white long-sleeved shirt, holding a sword in one hand and a lock in the other to resist foreign enemies.
The original owner of the black sword had passed away long ago, and now it is in the hands of another person, which shows how much Grandma Ping trusts him. It is like passing it on to the other person as if she were meeting the original owner's child.
Putting aside the clear memories, Zhongli looked at the fight that had already begun between the two sides, and couldn't help but begin to carefully ponder the moves of both sides, trying to find the information he wanted from them.
Going back a little, the two sides on the field looked at each other's weapons, both showing eyes that they would definitely win, and Tartaglia spoke first:
"Brother Ye Li, according to the rules we set before, I will not use the power of the Eye of God. I will defeat you with powers other than elemental power. Are you ready to learn my martial arts?"
"Since you've said that, I'm going to take you seriously as an opponent. I promise you that I will force out your elemental power and make you admit defeat."
As Ye Li spoke, his gray-blue eyes flashed a cold light under the moonlight, and the pitch-black sword cut through the reflection of the moonlight, revealing its sharp edge, and came with the wind.
