Chapter 130: Keeping People on Suspense and Getting Struck by Thunder
As night falls, every household in Liyue Harbor lights up lamps and candles, and the bright lights illuminate this prosperous commercial port that never sleeps.
On the way to Sanwanbuguogang, the three of them were all speechless.
The cute Paimon and the blond boy Kong had strange expressions on their faces, while Mo Ran, dressed in black, still looked calm and composed, as if what happened in the afternoon had no effect on him at all.
"Um, Mo Ran...we." Paimon took a deep breath and said with gritted teeth: "We have discussed it with Shen He. Kong and I will ask who Eula likes now."
"If she has let it go, you can wait for a few years and then go to Mondstadt. With your financial resources and... well... it shouldn't be a problem anyway."
"But if Eula doesn't like you, you mustn't make trouble! I heard that the person Eula likes is very powerful. If you return to Liyue Harbor with missing limbs, Shen He will probably kill that person!"
Mo Ran smiled but didn't say anything. If they really bumped into each other without considering their strength, Mo Ran, with his old age mentality, might not be able to beat that person, and he would definitely not be able to return to Liyue alive.
We chatted and laughed, and in no time three bowls of rice were served.
Looking around, the seats were all full.
Among all the guests in the room, the most eye-catching one was a handsome young man in a golden gown. Mo Ran could recognize who he was with just a quick glance.
That person was Zhongli. He said slowly, "Since you are here, you don't have to order. I have already ordered everything."
Mo Ran sat down quietly, giving up the idea of waving to the boss to add a few more dishes.
Zhongli continued, "This Sanwanbuguo Port is different from the taverns in Mondstadt. The owner of this tavern refuses to serve customers such inferior drinks as juice."
Kong was a little excited because he was actually old enough, but he looked young. He couldn't even drink a sip of wine in Mondstadt, so how could he drink in Liyue?
Mo Ran said suddenly: "So, your drink tonight is this bowl of glutinous rice balls. The alcohol content is higher than Mond's dandelion wine, but this bowl will not make you drunk."
Kong curled his lips and said, "What an unexpected ending."
Mo Ran smiled and said, "Unexpected things happened in this unexpected tavern. It is indeed unexpected."
Paimeng covered his head, a little confused, "Mo Ran, what are you talking about? A new type of tongue twister?"
“No, the origin of this tavern is indeed unexpected.” Zhongli said, “Originally, this was a teahouse, and the owner of the teahouse was a storyteller. The people of Liyue called him Lao Tiantou.”
"The only disciple of Old Tiantou is Tian Tiezui, who is now telling stories on the stage. He saw that the income of the teahouse was bleak, and because the Yuhe Teahouse over there was really popular, he sold it. After the current owner Degui took over, he opened a wine shop instead."
"It is really unexpected that the unknown teahouse has become the famous wine shop in Liyue Port that everyone talks about."
The storyteller on the stage shouted loudly: "If you are willing to listen, I will continue to tell you about Ningguang's deeds and the world-famous Qun Yu Pavilion outside Liyue Harbor."
Paimeng exclaimed, "This should be the storyteller Tian Tiezui, right? It's really nice to listen to someone telling a story."
Zhongli sighed, "The so-called praise in the market means not only good wine, but also good environment. But the environment here is different from the environment of the big restaurant mentioned in the Teyvat tourist guide."
Mo Ran smiled without saying anything. Of course he had read the book published by his mother, but it was more like a letter to guide people who would never return than a travel guide.
The letter that guided Mo Ran and Ke Li to the old father whom she had never met. I don't know if Alice was afraid that her husband was too poor at finding his way and would just wander around randomly if he couldn't find her, or what.
The guidebook mentions more than once that if you get lost, you can stay where you are, set up something effective and eye-catching, and wait for acquaintances or other people to show you the way, so that you can easily return home and be reunited with your wife and children.
On the stage, the storyteller began to read. He spoke eloquently, and every word was a gem. He told the heart-wrenching stories or the lingering grudges that people wanted to hear, just like a scroll unfolding smoothly.
"As you all know, above our port, there is the Cloud Fairy Mansion and the Mist Palace. What does it mean to have a hand and eye that can reach the sky? Look, this is what it means to have a hand and eye that can reach the sky. This is the all-powerful industry that Master Ningguang has set up."
"On that clear day, you stood on the deck outside the palace gate and looked down. Wow! It was amazing! That was the scenery of most of Liyue Harbor."
"Speaking of which, whenever Lord Ningguang encounters an important event, he must come to this group of jade pavilions, dismiss everyone else, and only bring three trusted aides. What is the purpose of bringing these trusted aides?"
Tian Tiezui raised a question. If his competitor Liu Su had said this, it would probably be a matter of waiting for the next episode. However, Tian Tiezui was different. He would not do anything that would easily lead to being struck by lightning.
"So, they were supposed to sort out the intelligence and process the information. They posted the summaries on the wall one by one, and the more they posted, the more they put up!"
"But before this white wall is covered, Lady Ningguang will definitely make the final decision. After making the final decision, she will crush all the information and throw the scraps of paper out of the window."
"Wow, it's fluttering like a sudden snowfall! To all the merchants in Liyue Harbor, the words on the scraps are like ink stains on the snow. Two words, so eye-catching!"
"There is a poem praising it: Floating and falling, it is like falling snow dust from the sky. Dense and sparse, a word is as precious as a rare treasure. When a thought arises, the mountains and rivers are swallowed up. Everyone knows that the power of heaven is supreme."
"Think about it. Even though this stuff is just scraps of paper, how precious is it that it reflects Lady Ningguang's decision-making ideas? If you can grab one or two more pieces, the benefits that will leak out from Lady Ningguang's fingers will be one or two more points than what your peers can earn."
Having said that, let's stop here for now. Tian Tiezui picked up the teacup and handed it to the audience to let them build up their curiosity for knowledge. He would continue talking after someone gave him a tip. This is the so-called industry trick.
As expected, Paimeng became interested. "Tianquan Ningguang, I seem to have heard this name a lot recently."
"The people of Liyue are talking about her, the Fatui hate her, and she is the one who transformed the Hidden Immortal Ancestor. We even met her once at the Immortal Code Conference. I wonder what kind of person she is?"
Paimeng suddenly thought of something and exclaimed, "Oh right, Mo Ran, as a shrewd and calculating businessman in Liyue Harbor, you should know what kind of person Tianquan Ningguang is!"
Mo Ran smiled and said, "She's just a white-haired girl. When I first saw her, she was still a small vendor selling things at a stall. She was a little girl who was about the same height as Qiqi."
"But who could have known that this little girl who valued money more than anything else would one day become a powerful person who could dominate the Liyue Harbor?"
Paimeng curled his lips and said, "You don't look much older than that Ningguang, do you? You sound like an old man evaluating a child again. Also, the current Tianquan Star used to be a small vendor or something. Mo Ran, you are really good at making up stories!"
Mo Ran laughed and said, "A few years older is still older. As for whether the story is true or not, you can go and ask for yourself."
Paimon lowered his eyes and spread his hands, looking ready to wait and see.
On the stage, Tian Tiezui saw that the situation was almost ready, so he put down his teacup and shouted loudly: "After talking about the great things that happened after Lord Ningguang became successful, let's talk about the hardships he experienced in the past."
"Look, who came to help in times of need, and who did not seek fame or fame afterwards, but just watched the film behind the scenes."
"According to the few words that Lady Ningguang once said, we know that she was born in poverty. Her parents died one after another when she was young. She was alone and helpless, like a boat on the vast ocean, drifting without a fixed place to go."
"Lord Ningguang, who has just entered the business world, does not yet understand the ways of doing business. He lost so badly that he was left with nothing but poverty!"
"But as the saying goes, life is full of ups and downs. As long as you can get through it, the world will be much wider. It was at that time that Lord Ningguang met a noble man, and only then did he achieve his current position step by step."
"But we don't know who that noble man is, why he helped Lady Ningguang who had nothing at the time, and why he didn't ask for anything in return afterwards."
"Because, Master Ningguang once said: 'My old man likes quietness and doesn't want to go out in the streets full of people, so I won't say it.'"
"If you think about it carefully, if the name is really revealed, that noble man will probably have trouble sleeping in Liyue Harbor day and night!"
"That's all for today. If you are interested, you can come back tomorrow. As for what happens next, please listen to the next chapter."
Paimon sighed and complained, "That's it? It happened so fast! I don't even know who that benefactor was in the end. Is there anyone in this world who is really afraid of becoming famous?"
As for the fact that he had said before that he absolutely did not believe that Tianquan Ningguang had ever set up a stall to sell goods, he had already chosen to forget it.
Mo Ran nodded calmly and said, "Of course there is."
Paimon was about to open his mouth to refute the gloomy man in black when a tender girl's voice was heard.
"finally found you……"
