"Ah? Ship...Captain, why have you become like this?" Beidou put his hands on his hips and asked, "Does it look good?" "Hehe, good-looking, good-looking. Our captain is more beautiful than Master Ningguang and Master Keqing. Do you think so, brothers?" "That's right, the eldest sister is like a fairy descended from the earth, the most beautiful woman in the Seven Kingdoms." Beidou smiled and scolded: "Get lost! Look again, believe it or not, I dug out your eyeballs and fed them to the fish!" The crew hurriedly lowered their heads, but still glanced at Beidou from the corner of their eyes. Beidou walked straight to Su Yu and saluted slightly. "Dragon King Beidou, come forward!" Although Beidou is not an official member of Liyue, he has considerable prestige among the people. He is righteous and loyal, and he is good at using a giant sword. He is called the "Uncrowned Dragon King". At this time, Beidou still had the charm of a big sister, but after careful dressing and makeup, she transformed from a female pirate leader into a heroic and beautiful heroine.
Naturally, she saluted this time because she wanted to hear Su Yu's opinion. It is said that a woman has an appearance that pleases her, and this outfit was carefully prepared to serve as a guide for Su Yu. "The Dragon King is patrolling the sea, and storms and clouds are coming. My opinion is the same as that of all brothers. It is more beautiful than the condensed light of the Tianquan star, and better than the clear sky carved by the Yuheng star." Beidou was embarrassed by the praise, so he hurriedly picked up the hem of his skirt and hurriedly got off the boat. "Hey, Your Highness, I'm waiting for you in front." At this time, Liyue Port was already crowded with people. Yesterday, there were three consecutive "snowfalls" in Qunyu Pavilion, which shocked the entire Liyue Kingdom. Businessmen gathered here one after another to warmly welcome the arrival of the Solstice Mission with the common people. "Liyue Seven Stars" came to the five in person, but only Ningguang and Keqing were not seen. They said they were preparing for tonight's dinner, but everyone knew that they just wanted to stay for the finale in the evening. After meeting with the senior officials of Yuehai Pavilion, Su Yu shook hands with the officials of the eight gates of the General Affairs Department. After finishing all this, he ordered Lady Hidden Mirror to lead the delegation to settle in the courtyard they had arranged. As for himself, he and Beidou walked out of the city gate and headed towards the outskirts of Liyue. Suddenly, the businessmen who came to watch, the people watching the excitement, and the officers and soldiers of the Qianyan Army who maintained law and order stared at each other, as if asking each other: What's happening here? Why did the Prince of Solstice suddenly leave the city? Are you dissatisfied with Liyue's welcome ceremony, or are you pretending to be enigmatic? Curiosity drove them to follow them all the way out of the city, creating a spectacle in Liyue's history: On the day of the Zhidong delegation's visit, tens of thousands of people, businessmen, and guards from Liyue Port followed Prince Zhidong outside the city. "Your Highness, are you really going to the small fishing village that drove me out?" Halfway through, Beidou asked again in surprise. "of course."
"Liyue City is much more interesting than the small fishing village. Besides, it's not appropriate for you to leave the adults of Yuehai Pavilion and the many wealthy businessmen aside." Su Yu smiled calmly and said: "The Dragon King is patrolling the sea, and the winds and clouds are coming. Now, the Dragon King has returned to his hometown with the Prince of Winter. I don't think there is anything more meaningful than this. Captain Beidou doesn't need to think too much, this is a right The reward for all your painstaking makeup work.” Beidou probably understood what Su Yu was thinking. He wanted to stand up for himself and put some money on his face. Leaving a group of dignitaries to ignore him and going to a small fishing village with him would probably make even Ning Guang jealous, and even Emperor Yanwang would be alarmed by this. What would those group of fellow villagers think? But even so, facing the small fishing village that cast a huge shadow on her in her childhood, she was still full of tangles in her heart. So many years have passed, and even though she has become famous now, she has never come back again. The words that the villagers said that she represented the unknown "Death Star" were the deepest thorn in her heart, or it could be called an inner demon, which constantly troubled her. She lost her parents when she was young, and the head of the small fishing village who took her in died of illness. It seemed that anyone who was close to her would be killed. Many times, Beidou really thinks that he is a disaster star. I joined the Southern Cross Fleet precisely because I didn't want to kill anyone else, and I would rather live this dangerous life of wandering around the sea all day long, licking blood from the edge of a knife. "It is said that Captain Beidou acts vigorously and resolutely. Why has he become indecisive today? The scenery of Dihuazhou is good, and I also know that there is a hotel nearby called Wangshu Inn which is very famous in Liyue. Captain Beidou should not be a guide. Can you competently explain the customs and customs to me?" "I lost my temper, Your Highness." Beidou bit his lip, trying to get rid of the hesitation and uneasiness in his heart. Perhaps it was time to face her inner demons. The confusion in her eyes was gone, and a rebellious smile appeared at the corner of her mouth again. The unknown small fishing village welcomed the most distinguished guest in history today. When the news of Prince Zhidong's visit spread in the village, the old village chief and the villagers danced excitedly, but when they saw the woman beside the prince, their faces suddenly darkened. The newly appointed old village chief asked: "Beidou, Death Star, why do you want to harm the noble prince?" "Your Highness, stay away from that woman, she is a disaster. She has caused misery to our village!" "I heard that sister is a bad woman in our village." Not only adults, but also children think so. Beidou was very frustrated. The small fishing village was really kind to her when it took her in. She didn't want to have a direct conflict with the villagers, so she turned around and wanted to leave. Unexpectedly, after many years, he still could not be accepted by the people in the small fishing village. Su Yu patted her shoulder lightly, and then said to the villagers: "Everyone, I am not here for fun today. I was invited by Miss Beidou to come to the small fishing village to taste your special delicacy, grilled tiger fish. I heard Miss Beidou said that this kind of tiger fish has delicious meat and extremely high nutritional value, making it a rare and excellent product." "Ah...right..." The old village chief was speechless for a moment, but he quickly responded, "Your Highness, tiger fish is indeed a unique fish near our village. You can't eat it elsewhere." The Prince of Winter asked to eat grilled tiger fish. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for publicity! Tiger fish has always been a specialty fish in small fishing villages, but it is a pity that there is a lack of opportunities for external publicity. Many people do not know it. If we can seize this business opportunity and advertise tiger fish, why worry about not having sales in the future? As the reputation of tiger fish increases, it will also drive the sales of other fish species. This is like the God of Wealth entering the small fishing village. The old village chief hurriedly pulled Beidou and said with a kind smile: "Beidou, you are really the lucky star of our village. Please invite His Royal Highness to the village and taste the grilled tiger fish!"
Chapter 54 Lucky Star Lucky star? Beidou was in a daze. The villagers who had been treating him indifferently just now suddenly became enthusiastic. It turned out that a bad star could also become a lucky star. And all this is thanks to Prince Solstice. The small fishing village was still the same as before. Because the poverty had not changed much, Beidou took Su Yu to the village chief's house. Outside the small fishing village, a group of people quickly surrounded the village. They are not the guards of Qianyan Army, but businessmen from Liyue. The merchants rushed into the village and said to everyone they met: "I will collect all your tiger fish from now on, as much as I want!" "Don't sell it to him, I'll buy it for twice as much as he offers!" "There is a boy in my shop, and his uncle seems to be a fisherman in this village. I don't have to compete with you for the supply of goods. This is called first-come-first-served." The villagers in the small fishing village were beaming. The more fierce the competition among merchants, the better it would be for them. They couldn't believe in their wildest dreams that the unknown tiger fish would become popular overnight. The villagers could not decide the price at which the tiger fish would be sold. They had to wait until the old village chief held a unified meeting to decide, so all the villagers' eyes unknowingly turned to the small building of the old village chief's house. Outside the old village chief's house, it was currently heavily guarded by Qianyan Army. Prince Zhi Dong visited Liyue, and the "Seven Stars of Liyue" ordered that his safety must be ensured and that nothing should go wrong. Inside the house, the fragrance of tea overflows. "This wild mountain tea tastes good. Although it cannot be compared with those precious tea leaves, it has absorbed the atmosphere of the land of Dihua Continent, but it does have a unique flavor. It is fragrant and soft, and has an endless aftertaste." In addition to the red wine from Chenxi Winery, Su Yu also likes to drink tea. Beidou on the side took a sip, but couldn't taste anything. "Captain Beidou, how does it taste?" Beidou apologized: "Your Highness, I still like to drink heavily and I know nothing about tea." "It doesn't matter. Beauty is like tea, which can tell the passage of time; beauty is like wine, which can make many heroes drunk. Tea and wine have their own ways. For most people, if they can understand one of them, it will be a rich and colorful life." The old village chief complimented: "Your Highness is so young, but he has this kind of understanding. When you drink tea, you taste the various aspects of life." "It's just that the responsibilities on our shoulders and the pressure on our bodies are more than yours." Su Yu rested his mind and closed his eyes, sipping the tea carefully. The old village chief was immediately in awe. The responsibilities and pressures on the shoulders of these high-ranking big shots are probably unimaginable to ordinary people in their lifetimes, but they are just casual words on their lips.
With Dragon King Beidou as his companion, the eldest sister's aura disappeared beside Su Yu. She was quietly making tea for Su Yu, but she had a little girl's elegance about her. If the crew members on the "Death Star" saw this scene, their jaws would drop in shock. This is like the eldest sister who usually carries a giant sword and fights and kills, but suddenly one day she started doing embroidery. "Your Highness, the grilled tiger fish is freshly baked. Please try it." The wife of the old village chief cooked the food herself and brought the dishes to the table from the kitchen. Su Yu was the first to taste it, and then praised: "This kind of tiger fish lives up to its name. It has an intoxicating aroma in the mouth, and the satisfaction when eating it is like that of a tiger." The old village chief and his wife breathed a long sigh of relief, and their hanging hearts finally fell to the ground. The old couple were really worried about the taste and were angry at this high-ranking man. Judging from Su Yu's comments, the grilled tiger fish in their village will become famous in the future and sell well in Liyue City. The small fishing village on the verge of bankruptcy finally has a glimmer of hope. "Captain Beidou, the mission still has many matters to be decided. I will return to Liyue City first. After all your hard work, you can come back and talk more with the old village chief and the others. You can also look around. After all, this is where you lived in your childhood. place." After tea and dinner, Su Yu stood up and said goodbye. "Old village chief, thank you for your hospitality. Don't worry about giving it away. Oh, one more thing. From now on, this tiger fish will have to be sent to Wanmin Hall for cooking. The chef Xiang Ling there must be able to help you develop a delicious dish. .” Su Yu's figure disappeared out of thin air. The old village chief and his wife were shocked. This was the first time they had seen this kind of magic. In their impression, perhaps only the Rock King had this ability. The old village chief said with great emotion: "Girl, Fools have always had a bad reputation, but I didn't expect that this Prince of Winter would treat us with courtesy." "Of course, he is a great hero. I can tell you his legendary story for three days and three nights." Beidou said quite proudly. The old village chief took out a package from the back room and said, "This is the dress you wore when you were a child for the first time you came to our village. We found it when we were packing up the belongings of the former old village chief, and we never parted with it. Throw." "Don't everyone in the village say I'm a disaster? Why are you keeping my things?" "Girl, it's all our fault." The old village chief choked up. "At that time, several families in the fishing village starved to death, and every household was unable to open the pot. We said you were a broom star. This was due to superstition and ignorance at that time. You were driven out of the village and were alone, and might die outside, so we wanted to build a tomb for you. It is convenient for everyone to mourn you." The old village chief expressed his repentance to Beidou on behalf of the villagers. In that era when fame and fortune were destitute, they were blinded by ignorance and did things they regretted. Beidou's eyes were slightly red, but he said: "But this time I accompanied His Highness the Prince, everyone still called me 'disaster', and they hated me and despised me as before." "Girl, everyone heard that you later became a pirate leader at sea, and they were afraid of you. We heard that you often violated Liyue's laws and were fined many times by Lord Ningguang." Beidou explained: "I am an armed fleet, but I often wander between black and white...Forget it, you don't understand even after I tell you. Seeing that His Highness is eating with gusto, how about I come and taste this fish as well."
"Pfft -" Beidou frowned tightly, "Put too much salt, it will be bitter!" The old village chief's wife hurriedly took a bite and spit it out: "Bah, bah, bah... Oh, look at me, an old fool. This is originally a saltwater fish. I put too much salt in it. Girl, why did the Prince of Winter say delicious?" Beidou thought for a moment, put down his chopsticks gently, and said solemnly: "His Royal Highness wants to help our small fishing village promote tiger fish, so no matter how terrible it tastes, he will praise it. This is for the businessmen in Liyue outside. ." The old village chief suddenly realized: "No wonder he asked us to send the fish to Wanmintang before leaving and give it to Xiangling to develop a new dish. His Highness has already thought of a way out for us." "Without further ado, I will take the fish to Wanmintang now. I have a good relationship with Xiangling and ask her to help develop tiger fish dishes as soon as possible. Only in this way can our village's tiger fish be truly famous. Yangtianxia. His Highness the Prince has provided us with a good opportunity to start a business and get rich. We must not waste it!" After saying that, Beidou took Huyu and hurriedly left the old village chief's house.
