"I'm the new bartender Qianyu, nice to meet you, senior." Qianyu bowed slightly and introduced himself.

"Hmph, you look young, but in fact you're just like those stinky uncles who drink all day long..." Diona crossed her arms and rolled her eyes at Qianyu with disdain, then she slowly put down the cocktail shaker in her hand.

As the wine in the container was slowly poured out, a strong smell of alcohol instantly filled her nostrils.

"Oh my goodness, what's so good about these wines!!" Diona couldn't help but complain, and her voice immediately attracted the attention of people around her.

Upon hearing this, Qianyu didn't know what to say for a moment, and Qiu Ling was also deeply shocked. These were totally unlike words spoken by the little loli in front of her.

"Haha, it's okay Qianyu, don't worry too much. Diona is like this sometimes." At this time, Margaret hurriedly rescued Qianyu.

As she spoke, she patted Diona's shoulder gently.

"Okay, little Dionna, everyone is watching, and you have a competition to participate in later, so hurry up and practice."

Diona nodded slightly, then looked at Qianyu again, as if trying to remember what he looked like, and then slowly left.

"It seems that Diona is very sensitive to alcohol." Qiu Ling said softly, her eyes falling on Diona.

"Indeed, she has been muttering about destroying Mond Wine since the first day she came to the Cat's Tail Tavern, but well..."

As Margaret spoke, a smile appeared on her lips. She looked at Diona not far away with a teasing look. There was a gleam in her eyes, as if she saw something interesting.

"Although I don't know why, the drinks she mixes are all well received without exception. However, she herself hates such praise." Margaret continued, with a hint of confusion and curiosity on her face.

Hearing this, Wendy showed an envious expression.

"Oh, it would be great if I had this ability." Wendy sighed softly, her tone full of yearning and desire.

Hearing this, Qianyu helplessly covered his forehead, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I think you should think about it..."

"By the way, Miss Margaret, why is the Cat's Tail Tavern so lively today?" Qiu Ling suddenly asked.

I remember when she was working as a bartender a few days ago, the number of people was less than a quarter of what it is now.

"Huh? Don't you know that today is Cocktail Day?" Margaret explained.

Then, she told the three people the origin of the Bartending Festival...

Listening to Margaret's words, Qianyu glanced at Wendy. How could he not know about the wine festival?

Now he was absolutely sure that Wendy had been playing dumb.

“In short, that’s it. Once all the contestants are present, the cocktail festival will officially begin. As for the raw materials... the Cat’s Tail Tavern will be responsible for them this year.” Margaret said with her arms folded.

"By the way, Qianyu, as a new bartender, you are quite popular among the newcomers..." Margaret changed the subject and looked at Qianyu with a smile in her eyes.

Hearing this, Qianyu understood that he could not escape this disaster... He smiled helplessly.

"Hey, then you guys should get ready too, come on youngsters!" Margaret said and left with a smile.

Soon after, the first and second floors of the Cat's Tail Tavern were surrounded by people.

"Wow, there are so many people, there's no way I can squeeze in..." Paimon complained helplessly.

"It seems that I am a little late..." Rosalyn explained apologetically.

"It's okay, the view here is not bad." Ying comforted everyone and looked around.

Just then, an extremely kind voice came.

"I never expected to meet our Mondstadt's great hero here." Kaeya was seen smiling, and beside him, Amber and Captain Jean also looked delighted.

"Let me introduce you. This is Kaeya, the cavalry captain of the Knights of Favonius... and this is Jean, the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius..." Paimon said excitedly to Mona and Rosaline.

"I'll do it myself. Hello, my name is Amber. Please take care of me, it's our first meeting!" Amber introduced herself enthusiastically.

Her lively and lovely smile made everyone present feel warm and comfortable.

Mona and Rosalin smiled at each other and greeted them. This unexpected encounter made the atmosphere even more lively.

"Could these three be the big shots that Xingkong mentioned? They really have extraordinary temperaments." Mona pondered.

At this moment, the originally noisy crowd suddenly became quiet, as if time had stopped, and then a clear and pleasant voice came from the crowd.

"Thank you all for your enthusiasm. First of all, please allow me to welcome you all on behalf of the Cat's Tail Tavern." Margaret's voice was sonorous and powerful, echoing throughout the tavern.

Her eyes scanned everyone present, full of confidence and charm.

"Then let me introduce the bartenders participating in this competition." Margaret smiled and continued, "Miss Diona from Qingquan Town."

As she finished her words, Diona appeared in the crowd, her figure like a bright light, illuminating the entire stage.

Suddenly, applause broke out like thunder, and cheers and applause rose one after another.

"Oh! Come on Diona!" A man in the audience was waving his arms excitedly and shouting loudly.

"Hmph, stupid dad." Diona couldn't help but snorted coldly after hearing her father's call, but the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

"Ms. Sugar from the Knights of Favonius!"

After saying that, Sugar walked forward timidly, holding a conical bottle tightly in his hand, his body shaking with nervousness.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but her heart was still filled with anxiety and tension.

"It's okay, Sugar, believe in yourself!" Amber's comforting voice came from the audience, which made Sugar feel a little warm.

She glanced at Amber gratefully, waved, and pulled herself together.

"...Well, the master said that cocktail making is like alchemy..." Sugar muttered to himself.

"In order to buy time for investigation, I will definitely do it."

"Next is Mr. Charles from the Morningside Winery!"

Then, Charles walked forward with elegant steps, stroked his hair, and bowed deeply to the people around him.

Suddenly, cheers rang out in the pub.

"Then the last one... the newcomer from the Cat's Tail Tavern, Mr. Chiba!"

As Margaret finished her words, the crowd rioted again and the atmosphere was extremely heated.

"Qianyu?!" Upon hearing this, Paimeng and Ying looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise.

On the other side, in the audience, Wendy and Qiu Ling were looking at Qianyu with smirks on their faces.

"Sure enough...it's all a conspiracy..." Qianyu sighed helplessly.
