Speaking of this, some old players obviously know something about it.

“Tillers: new shoots that grow out after trees are cut down, metaphorically referring to the beginning of things.”

“By the way, Zhongli did go to Qingce Village during the Hai Lantern Festival last year.”

“This is the easter egg from last year’s Hai Lantern Festival. Qingce Zhuang gave it to him directly.”

Paimon was a little curious, “‘Growing bamboo shoots’? Why can’t we use ordinary bamboo shoots?”

“Ah! Oops, I understand…”

Paimon suddenly thought of something, “Zhongli is living a refined life again, right?”

“Since this is Zhongli, a fastidious person, he must say that the ‘green bamboo shoots’ are fresh and tender in the mouth and have a fragrant taste. Ordinary bamboo shoots cannot replace them.”

“Paimeng is smart and knows me very well.” Zhongli said leisurely: “The festival is coming. In addition to bamboo shoots, there are still many items on the list given by the hall master that have not been purchased… I wonder if you two have any other arrangements in the near future?”

Paimon smiled and said: “Humph, we plan to meet our friends soon. We haven’t decided who we want to meet yet, so I bumped into you first.”

“Can you two imagine how delicious the sprouting bamboo shoot soup is? Put the large pieces of lean meat into the pot together with the fragrant and crispy bamboo shoots, and simmer for half a day…”

Ying imagined it for a moment and couldn’t help but say: “I have never tasted it, but my mouth is already drooling…”

The water friends started joking.

“It’s started, it’s started!”

“”Zhongli on the Tip of the Tongue”.”

“I’m hungry!”

Paimon, a foodie, suddenly became greedy and drooled, but he still crossed his arms and said, “You, you did it on purpose, right?! Do you think we will fall into the trap and then go run errands to pick bamboo shoots for you!”

Despite what he said, Paimon’s eyes were already filled with little stars, and he obviously couldn’t wait to pick bamboo shoots and come back to taste them.

Zhongli said slowly: “The sprouting bamboo shoots are very delicious. It’s a fact.”

“Damn it…” Now Paimon couldn’t sit still at all, and quickly looked at Ying, “Let’s go for a walk! He said I’m so greedy!”

“It won’t take long to pick some bamboo shoots. I must drink the soup!”

Zhongli said leisurely: “Such a beautiful thing is indeed worth a trip, so I’ll leave you two alone. If you pick good bamboo shoots, please be sure to bring some to me.”

Paimon couldn’t help but complain: “Look, you knew he would be like this!”

“Then you just forgot about it, right?”

“Every year during the Hai Lantern Festival, I have to be very busy and exhausted.”

“I have bamboo shoots in my bag. If you didn’t, they would have grown into bamboos in my bag.”

Zhongli reminded: “There is no need to be in such a hurry,”

“During the Hai Lantern Festival, people are coming and going on the streets, and everything is complicated. If you encounter other things you want to do, you can just follow your heart.”

“Bamboo shoots are nothing more than the icing on the cake when it comes to the dining table. Enjoying them with your friends can highlight their significance even more.”

“I understand.” Ying nodded and said, “We’ll go to the Shengsheng Hall to find you after we finish our work.”

Paimon also said goodbye: “Zhongli, just keep walking. We’re leaving first.”

“The word “walking” actually appears in the plot, hahaha, I laughed to death.”

“Walking around hahaha!”

“Since it’s just the icing on the cake, then I’ll just go to the Gan Desert to study (doge).”

After parting ways with Zhongli, Ying and Paimon rushed to the place where they were collecting bamboo shoots.

“Bamboo shoots… bamboo shoots… ‘bamboo shoots sprouting’!”

Paimon kept mumbling and couldn’t wait to eat it.

After walking a few steps in the bamboo forest, they saw fresh bamboo shoots.

“Oh!” Paimon was very pleasantly surprised, “This plant just broke through the ground not long ago. It looks tender and tender, so this is it!”

Perhaps it was because they had better luck. Just wandering around in the bamboo forest, they were already full of harvest and collected enough bamboo shoots.

So they planned to go back first.

But just as they were about to go back, they suddenly heard several voices calling for help.

“Help, help -”

Following the source of the sound, they saw a slender figure saving a drowning man from the water to the shore.

The thin voice still asked with concern: “Can you still see with your eyes? Did you choke on the water?”

“Cough cough cough…”

The drowning man coughed violently.

“I thought it was a pig in the forest calling for help, hahaha, I laughed to death.”

“Having a hat, this drowned man is definitely from Fontaine.”

“Let me tell you, Fontaine’s clothes are quite nice.”

“No one paid attention to me, so I took Yaoyao away~”

At this time, the person rescued by Yaoyao seemed to have recovered a little and began to thank Yaoyao and Ying.

“It’s really scary. Just hope you’re okay. This is the one who saved you…”

Paimeng looked at Yaoyao next to him, seemingly surprised, “Uh, little sister?”

“Hello sisters and uncles, my name is Yaoyao, Yaoyao is polite.”

Yaoyao said very politely.

Paimon was very impressed, “Wow, what a polite little girl. I am Paimon, and this is the Traveler.”

“My name is Dvorak, a musician from Fontaine.”

The people rescued by Yaoyao also introduced themselves.

“I came all the way from Shimen and wanted to go to Liyue Port, but I was fascinated by the beautiful scenery here and took the wrong way without knowing it…”

“I was just looking at the waterfall again, but I couldn’t step on it firmly. If this little sister Yaoyao hadn’t helped me…”

Dvorak was still a little scared at this time.

“He is indeed from Fontaine!”

“By the way, why did the Fontaine people come from Shimen?”

“He is a musician. He should be traveling across the continent in search of inspiration. A long time ago, there were musicians from Fontaine in Mondstadt who helped the people of Mondstadt overthrow the old aristocracy.”

After hearing Dvorak’s grateful words, Yaoyao shook her head and said, “It’s okay, Uncle Dvorak. The water splashed by the waterfall will make the stone road slippery. You really need to slow down.”

“If you encounter an unfamiliar environment in the future, try not to think about it while walking. As long as you develop a good habit of paying attention to your steps, you will not encounter such a thing again.”

Yaoyao started preaching like a little adult.

Dvoshak nodded repeatedly and said: “Okay, okay, I remember everything…”

While they were talking, Dvorak’s stomach suddenly growled.

Yaoyao noticed this and asked, “Ah, are you hungry?”

Dvorak scratched his head in embarrassment.

Yaoyao smiled and said, “You don’t have to be so polite. Yaoyao is a local. She takes care of tourists from all over the country and is doing her best to be a host.”

“If you want to continue on your journey, it is very important to replenish your energy in time.”

“I still have several Lotus Crisps in my bag. Let’s share them and eat them together. Sisters, come and try some too.”

With that said, Yaoyao took out the food from the bamboo basket behind her.
