Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

After hearing Chang Ming's explanation, Old Lu's frown slowly relaxed, replaced by a look of shock.

"The previous Water God?! A person on the same level as the Emperor?!"

As Old Lu spoke, he looked at Fu Nina, who was standing next to Chang Ming with one hand on her waist, in shock, and then he said loudly in disbelief:

"Sir, are you kidding me, an old man? Why would a great water god condescend to come to this mountain?"

Hearing this, Chang Ming shook his head in a helpless manner, then turned his gaze to Funina standing beside him, as if he was in a difficult situation.

As for Furninna, she pursed her lips and chose to remain silent.

No matter when or in front of whom, self-proof is always a very annoying thing.

“How do I prove that I am me?”

“How can I prove that I didn’t do it?”

These problems sound like a headache.

As if he had noticed this, Paimeng quickly took over Chang Ming's words and continued:

"Well... I think the point is not whether that lady is the water goddess... but this gentleman is really the regent of Fontaine? Or is he Ningguang's guest~"

Hearing this, the expression on Old Lu's face relaxed slightly, he nodded gently and continued:

"In other words, you are the representative of Fontaine? And these two...are adventurers who believe that the poor tea harvest at Qiaoying Manor is due to soil and water problems?"

After saying this, Old Lu lowered his head slightly and whispered in a voice so low that only he could hear it:

"Even if they are not real, we can pretend to be them by wearing their clothes. This way, we can convince Lao Luo..."

Looking at Old Lu who seemed to be lost in thought again, Ying smiled slightly and softly expressed her position and thoughts.

“It doesn’t matter if I believe it or not, but the One who entrusted me does.”

Although I don’t know what Fu Jin is planning, but based on the current situation...there are indeed problems in Qiaoying Manor.

Even if he didn't help Fu Jin, he had to help him for the sake of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce and Chang Ming.

After all, the second young lady of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce - no, the second young master Xingqiu also helped them a lot.

"Really? That's easy! Let me take the tea samples and we'll go talk to Lao Luo about it!"

"With Lord Fontaine and the adventurer entrusted to handle this matter here, Lao Luo will definitely try my plan this time!"

When the old man heard that someone shared the same idea as him, he became as excited as a child who had not grown up.

From his every move, Chang Ming could understand why he was like this.

He really loves this land and the lush green tea plantations here, so he wants to save it.

But because no one agreed with his ideas, he was completely unable to do it, not to mention that he was already in his twilight years.

"Lao Luo...?"

Paimeng stroked his chin and looked at the old Lu in front of him, as if he was a little curious about the name.

"Lao Luo is the owner of Qiaoying Manor. He is a very nice person, but he believes more in machines, cultivation methods, fertilizers and other things."

"I mentioned the problem of soil and water imbalance to him before, but we ended up parting on bad terms."

"But if another big client came to ask about this matter today, he would have to give it a try for your sake."

"I have been dealing with tea trees all my life. I can detect things that others cannot, so I can say with certainty that it is the imbalance of water and soil that is the cause."

Hearing this, Chang Ming nodded slightly, and then said softly:

"Please lead the way, old man. This matter concerns the long-term cooperation between Fontaine and Liyue. As a partner... I must pay attention to this matter."

......

Under the leadership of Old Lu, the four of them quickly arrived at the other end of Qiaoying Manor.

This is the place where tea is fried and dried, which results in the strong tea aroma permeating here all year round.

Paimon took a deep breath and couldn't help but sigh:

"Wow... What a strong tea aroma! It feels like I'm drinking tea with every breath!"

Hearing this, Old Lu nodded with a smile, and then said with some emotion:

"Oh...if you had come this time last year, the tea would have been even more fragrant and tasted even better than it is now."

"But if the water and soil problems can be solved more quickly, it won't take long for Qiaoying Manor to return to its former state."

"When the time comes, you can all enjoy the beautiful scenery of Chenyu Valley while eating tea cakes and drinking freshly brewed fragrant tea~"

It seemed that the matter was about to be resolved, and a slight smile appeared on Old Lu's face, and even his wrinkles were tightened at this moment, foreshadowing his mood at the moment.

Chang Ming did not say much about this. He just nodded slightly and then walked away silently.

Because he knew how long the task process was, he also knew how many days it would take to complete.

As a figure wearing a brocade robe and a figure wearing a coarse cloth shirt gradually appeared in front of them, Chang Ming and others also heard their slightly sad conversation.

"Uncle Luo, this batch is still not good. It doesn't have enough aroma after being fried. It's even dry and brittle. It can't be put on the kneading machine at all."

"Even the few that can pass the rolling machine...the finished product is totally unappealing..."

Hearing this, the man in brocade robe fell into a brief silence, and after a while he said:

"...Are you sure it's not the machine's fault? Or that you are not familiar with the operation?"

"Well... what you said, you have been watching from the side, we dare not be careless..."

"Hey...what's the reason...could it be that it's really the imbalance of water and soil that Old Lu mentioned?"

The man in brocade robe paced back and forth as he spoke, thinking about how to break the impasse.

As a person who has great trust in the machine data, he naturally would not attribute the reason to this land.

After all, this change was too strange, and there wasn't even any time to react.

As if he heard footsteps coming from behind him, Uncle Luo raised his head slightly and fixed his gaze on the people who were walking slowly towards him.

Seeing that the people were not dressed like ordinary people and that it was Old Lu who brought them in, he already understood a little bit in his mind and then said:

"Hey, Old Lu, you're here! Ah Jin, go back to work first. Who are these bosses...?"

"I am Chang Ming, the regent of Fontaine. I am here to ensure that Liyue can smoothly supply the first batch of tea to Fontaine."

"The person next to me was asked by the General Affairs Department to help you."
