Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

Yinian's snack stand was already surrounded by a crowd. Enthusiastic diners were like hungry carps in a pond, waving their molas with their mouths open to scramble for the freshly baked snacks.

"I was here first! Give me this!"

"It was obviously me first! Yinian, I'm your fan! I've been chasing your stall all around Liyue for the past few years!"

“Yinian, grandma watched you grow up cough cough cough... I just want to have a bite of the grilled fish you made cough cough cough.”

······

"Wow—" Paimon looked at the crowds of people over there and confirmed, "This must be super delicious!"

The Traveler Team successfully squeezed into the innermost crowd by helping Xiao City leader Wang Ya deliver documents.

The stall owner Yinian was busy maintaining order with great difficulty, "We really don't have enough manpower. I should have brought some more people out earlier..."

It was such a mess that it was impossible to tell which guests arrived first and which came later.

"Hello Yinian, Miss Wangya asked us to give this document to you." Paimeng handed a thick stack of reports to Yinian and looked at the fragrant snacks on the stall with a greedy look on his face.

"What business suggestions are there?" Yinian was only thinking about how to make more delicious snacks and had no interest in expanding the business to make more Mora.

"Forget it, just give it to me. It's quite useful to start the fire and fill the stove." Yinian muttered and took the document, then greeted the team of travelers, "Are you a guest? Look here, we can make everything written on the menu!"

There were a variety of snacks listed on the wooden sign hanging on the stall, which dazzled Paimeng. "Hmm... then which snack do you recommend the most?"

Snack stall owners must be the ones who know best which snacks are the most delicious and popular!

"If I have to recommend something, try grilled tiger fish. It's the favorite food of the Bronze Sparrow Immortal!" Yinian strongly recommended.

This year, the Liyue Seven Stars publicized the deeds of many immortals to teach the people of Liyue not to forget the contributions of their former enemies.

The Haideng Festival is a festival to commemorate heroes, and Yinian chose to use this method to commemorate this immortal. Not only does it have the most ingredients for grilled tiger fish, but it is also top-quality and fresh.

Each member of the travel team got a handful of grilled fish and gave it positive reviews after tasting it.

The freshly baked fish is fragrant, the fish skin is baked golden and crispy, and it makes a "crunching" sound when you take a light bite.

The fish meat is tender and juicy, melting in your mouth, and every texture is soaked in the rich flavor of the seasoning. The unique taste is endless, and everyone who has tasted it can't help but eat it bite by bite.

"Delicious! The fish meat is fresh, fragrant and tender, without any fishy smell!" Paimon felt that he could eat ten fish in a row!

"You guys take your time eating. I have to continue serving customers. If you want to eat more, just come over. I will be setting up the stall here all day." Yinian was busy with work, smiling.

His greatest pursuit is the satisfied smile of the diners.

After delivering the documents and tasting the delicious grilled fish, Paimon began to look forward to the "little gift" that Wangya mentioned, and the traveler team returned to Wangya.

"You're back." Wang Ya presented the promised small gift, which was three sets of materials for making sky lanterns.

“Uh...we don’t know how to make this.” Paimeng knew that almost everyone in Liyue could make sky lanterns, but this was the first time for Su and Kong to participate in Liyue’s Sea Lantern Festival.

"Is that so?" Wangya suggested that the Traveler Team find Jingming, who is in charge of the Sky Lanterns, to learn from him. "The Sky Lanterns made by ourselves will surely become a souvenir that carries beautiful memories."

Su nodded and decided to make a sky lantern for Xiao.

Not far away, Jing Ming was holding a blueprint and directing the workers to continue building the frame of the Mingxiao Lantern. When he saw the Traveler Team coming, he took them aside to talk.

"How to weave the sky lantern? Oh, you are not locals and you haven't learned it yet." Jingming said easily, "No problem, there are many styles of sky lanterns. You are beginners, so I will teach you the simplest style."

Leading foreigners to appreciate and learn Liyue's craftsmanship is also a good thing to promote the spread of Liyue culture.

The traveler team unpacked the sky lantern material kit, which contained bamboo strips, colored paper, tung oil for the exterior of the sky lantern, as well as luminous marrow and small pieces of floating stone fragments.

"Your kit is pretty good," Jing Ming is very knowledgeable. "Generally, sky lanterns use the light and heat generated by candlelight to glow and rise into the sky. This material package uses luminous marrow and floating stone. The sky lanterns made from it will be brighter and fly higher." Of course, it will also be safer.

Although the sky lanterns are beautiful, the Qianyan Army has to work hard for a long time every year to prevent the mountains and forests from being ignited by the falling sky lanterns.

"Hehe, it was Miss Wangya who sent us there!" Paimon thought Miss Wangya was such a nice person!

"Oh~" Jingming nodded in understanding, and began to carefully teach the team of travelers the methods and steps of making sky lanterns.

First, use bamboo strips to weave the desired frame, cut the colored paper into the appropriate shape, and then brush it with tung oil.

"Doing this will make the lanterns more windproof and able to fly higher. It also increases their ability to resist rain and retain their color, so it would be nice to keep them as decoration," Jing Ming explained.

"Attach the colored paper to the frame with glue. The last step is to put a candle or floating stone at the bottom. Ah, don't put yours in yet, or it will fly out now."

Jingming is an experienced worker and has already made the sky lantern for demonstration, but Kong is still at the stage of making the skeleton.

"Then I'll leave this for your reference. I'll go get busy now. I wish you all have fun." Jing Ming returned to the construction site and continued to work on the construction of the Mingxiao Lantern.

"Thank you!" Paimeng thanked loudly. The leaders in Xiao City are so warm and considerate!

The three of them continued to work on their crafts, and Kong discovered that his progress was not improving but actually declining.

"Su," Kong didn't want to remind her to lighten her grip after he tied up the girl's accidentally broken frame for the third time. "Can you help me trim the colored paper? You can draw your favorite patterns on it before applying tung oil."

In short, use the simplest and least error-prone steps to control the problems that may cause more trouble.

Kong continued to rest and weave the skeleton of the sky lantern. When he finished and was ready to move on to the next step, he saw the colored paper of the sky lantern that Su was in charge of.

The colored paper was trimmed very irregularly and the edges were also rough, as if there were traces of it being cut in the wrong place and glued back together with glue. The most important thing was the pattern on it.

"Uh..." Sora and Paimon tried to figure out, "Is this a painting of fishermen using harpoons to catch fish?"

Su: “…”

She drew Xiao! It was Xiao's heroic figure in battle against demons and monsters!

But, after hearing what Sora and Paimon said, the more she looked at her "masterpiece", the more it looked like a fisherman using a harpoon to catch fish...

Not only that, a tourist passing by accidentally saw this failed stick drawing and couldn't help but let out a "puff".

The tourists who came to watch the production process of the sky lanterns quickly ran away under the girl's murderous gaze.

"It must be because it's too noisy here and we can't concentrate!" Paimon came to the rescue, "Let's find a quiet place with a table and do it seriously again."
