"Oh?" Ningguang put down the documents in her hand when she heard Jiang Mu call her.
"Have you finished watching?"
Jiang Mu nodded.
"Then, Jiang Mu, could you tell me the story of your world?"
"Minecraft?"
Jiang Mu immediately thought of a certain Steve.
“Okay,” Jiang Mu readily agreed, “but what exactly should we talk about?”
"For example..." Ningguang smiled slightly, glanced at her own Qunyu Pavilion, and said lightly.
"Let's talk about architecture."
Jiang Mu: Oh, if you're talking about that, then I'm not sleepy anymore!
So, Jiang Mu vividly described to our Lord Tianquan what a skyscraper with hundreds of floors is, what a space station in outer space is, and what a Suzhou-style garden is...
Ningguang at this moment: Wow~ ⊙o⊙
Jiang Mu:（￣ー￣）ノ~~マ☆'.?.?:★
“Then…” Ningguang said urgently, “Tell me quickly, what exactly happened? How is it possible to send such a large iron block into the sky without using levitation stones…”
"This is because it overcomes the effects of gravity..."
"How could that metal box you call a car possibly run on the road without being pulled by horses?"
"That's because it's powered by an engine..."
"What kind of chicken is 'starting chicken'? Is it very strong?"
"This... an engine is a type of machinery..."
………………
And so Jiang Mu continued to answer Ning Guang's questions until, in the end, Ning Guang finally gave up.
"Sigh, what a pity. I thought I could use the knowledge from this other world to create novel items to sell..."
Sure enough, this guy is a businessman through and through at heart...
Jiang Mu muttered to himself.
After a brief moment of reflection, Ningguang quickly regained her composure and continued speaking to Jiang Mu.
"Oh, right, there's another thing I need your help with that I called you here today."
"Speaking."
"The Lantern Festival in Liyue is just around the corner. Do you have any novel suggestions?"
Ningguang said with a smile.
"Lantern Festival?"
Jiang Mu feigned confusion.
"Oh." Ningguang slapped her forehead, regretting her words.
"I forgot, you're not very familiar with Liyue yet."
So, Ningguang spent about half an hour telling Jiang Mu about the Lantern Festival.
"I see."
Jiang Mu nodded slightly.
"It's quite similar to a festival in my original world."
"real?"
Upon hearing this, Ningguang perked up.
"Yes."
Jiang Mu nodded.
That festival is called the Lantern Festival.
"Let's not talk about what it's called for now." Ningguang waved her hand.
"So, can you tell me what there is to spend money on during this festival?"
As expected of you, rich lady!
Jiang Mu gave a thumbs up in his heart, but on the surface he still looked troubled.
"Well... I do have some, but..."
"But what?"
Ningguang rushed along the road.
"Never mind." Jiang Mu feigned extreme reluctance. "It would be very difficult to do that in this world."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Ningguang became even more anxious.
"Just tell me. If there's anything you need, I should be able to get it for you. You have to trust my abilities as the Star of Heaven."
After she finished speaking, Ningguang added one more sentence.
"I can give you 100,000 Mora as payment for the intelligence."
"Alright then." Jiang Mu was still a little hesitant. "Telling you isn't impossible, but..."
"but?"
Ningguang's breathing also became rapid...
"You'll have to pay more."
Jiang Mu said with righteous indignation.
"What!"
Ningguang nearly flipped the table over.
As a shrewd businesswoman, Ningguang had never shown such a loss of control during business conversations...
Ahem, except for the "business" discussed with Beidou.
Those who know, know...
"Two hundred thousand, that's the most I can ask for."
Ningguang looked displeased.
"Alright, alright..."
Jiang Mu never intended to make much money, so he decided to stop while he was ahead.
"This is a type of food called tangyuan."
"We need quite a few materials, so I'll have to trouble you to find them."
"Speak."
Ningguang said that she was quite confident about finding things.
Do you have paper and pen here?
Jiang Mu reached out his hand.
"There are quite a few things needed, and I'm afraid you won't be able to remember them all."
"for you."
Ningguang didn't waste any time and handed him what he wanted directly.
……………… (Jiang Mu is writing here)
Okay.
Jiang Mu handed the paper to Ning Guang.
Ningguang took the paper, her beautiful brows furrowing slightly.
"Glutinous rice? Won't regular rice work?"
Jiang Mu shook his head to indicate his refusal.
"It has to be the kind of rice that is very sticky."
"OK."
Ningguang continued looking down and frowned again.
"This sesame...I think I've heard of it before..."
"This...peanut? Is it a new kind of flower?"
"This... should be possible with nuts too, like almonds or something..."
………………
After thorough discussion, the two finalized the ingredients for the modified Tangyuan.
Thus, the two agreed that Ningguang would send someone to find and purchase the necessary materials, and Jiangmu would then process them uniformly, with the profits to be split 50/50.
This ratio was reached after the two had a heated argument.
"Alright, you should go now..."
Ningguang waved towards the door; she didn't want to see this troublesome person for a while...
"No." To everyone's surprise, Jiang Mu shook his head.
Is there anything else?
Ningguang said irritably.
"You still owe me 200,000 Mora..."
"We'll deduct that from our profit sharing later!" Ningguang was really about to break down. She, a dignified star of Tianquan, couldn't possibly owe a child money...
but……
Ningguang thought to herself.
"If she hadn't spent an afternoon playing mind games with this guy, she really wouldn't have known that beneath this childlike exterior lay a cunning and shrewd mind."
"I must say, they truly are friends from another world..."
After Jiang Mu left, Ning Guang slowly lay down on the bench, her curvaceous figure on full display.
"However, if he is interested in money, as long as he keeps that in mind, then at least he won't do anything harmful to Liyue. That much is certain."
"Gan Yu seems to have a good impression of this little guy..."
Ningguang rubbed her temples and murmured.
"How about... we send Gan Yu over to monitor her?"
However, thinking of how exhausted her three secretaries were after Gan Yu took leave, Ningguang gave up the idea.
"Let's just forget about it so they can retire later..."
"It seems this year's Lantern Festival is going to be very lively, hehe..."
Ningguang mumbled a few words indistinctly before falling into a deep sleep...
"Let's go see the Lantern Festival together with Hokuto..."
