Chapter 23 The Merchant from Fontainebleau



After quickly organizing the documents, Yan Fei and the two of them arrived at Wanmin Hall.

“Actually, you didn’t need to come,” Jiang Mu said with a wry smile. “We can just hand over the materials to you after we’ve prepared them.”

"Hmph~" Yan Fei put her hands on her hips and said coquettishly.

"You just made me look so foolish, I'll definitely get my revenge!"

"ah……"

Jiang Mu was dumbfounded.

"Pfft~"

Seeing this, Yan Fei smiled.

"You actually took it seriously..."

"Yanfei was just joking."

Gan Yu chuckled.

"All right……"

Seeing the two of them like this, how could Jiang Mu not know that he had been tricked? But facing these two immortals...

I dare not move, I dare not move...

If he did anything wrong, Yan Fei could easily make things difficult for him with just one sentence: "You've broken the law, do you know that?"

"Speaking of which, Gan Yu told me that you run a farm in Qingce Village, is that right?"

As they walked and talked, Yanfei suddenly brought it up.

“Yes,” Jiang Mu nodded. “I’ve already reported it to the General Affairs Department, so there shouldn’t be any problem.”

"Then don't forget to pay taxes after your farm sells its crops."

Yan Fei narrowed her eyes and said with a grin, looking every bit the shrewd little merchant.

"Damn!"

Jiang Mu cursed himself inwardly for forgetting about this.

"Okay." Jiang Mu nodded. "I'll go then, thank you."

"It's nothing." Yan Fei waved her hand. "I'll come back to you for an asset appraisal in a while."

"Asset appraisal?" Jiang Mu was stunned.

"yes."

Yan Fei smiled and explained.

"That way, when you go bankrupt and get captured by the Thousand Rock Army, it'll save you trouble, won't it?"

"Thank you so much!"

Jiang Mu internally ranted.

"Just kidding."

Yanfei made a face.

"Yanfei".

Gan Yu said reproachfully.

"Let's go, let's go..."

Yan Fei pretended not to hear and took the lead... cough cough cough, lead the way.

"It's been a long time since I've been to Wanmintang. I wonder if Xiangling's cooking skills have deteriorated."

"Little brother, don't mind her, that's just Yanfei's personality, but her professional skills are top-notch..."

Gan Yu quickly explained.

“Of course I believe my sister,” Jiang Mu said.

In his mind, he also recalled the introduction to Yan Fei.

Yanfei's father is a celestial beast, and her mother is an ordinary merchant. Born in a peaceful era, Yanfei did not sign a contract with the Rock King Emperor, but only made a promise with her parents to "live happily."

To avoid being bound by the rules, one must first fully understand them. Therefore, she chose to become a legal consultant, interpreting the Liyue laws promulgated by Ningguang and helping others resolve conflicts and disputes.

After Yanfei grew up, her father took her mother on a trip, leaving Yanfei in the care of Granny Ping. This half-immortal girl, proficient in all laws and understanding the balance of reason and emotion, became one of Liyue Harbor's top legal experts. As Liyue Harbor's leading legal code interpreter, she naturally exploited loopholes in the code, sometimes for her own benefit, sometimes for the benefit of others. All indications suggest that Yanfei is not a rule-abiding person; she does not wish to be bound by rules. Yet, while pursuing her own happiness, she also strives to make Liyue a better place, utilizing loopholes in the code without using them for evil.

This is why Ningguang of Tianquan extensively refers to Yanfei's actions when she reviews and corrects the Liyue Code every year, as if Yanfei were the code's quality inspector. To some extent, Yanfei is making the rules more perfect at the lowest possible cost... which is also why she has never been convicted of exploiting loopholes in the Code.

Yanfei's words were merely a playful act by a young girl, intended to tease her "junior."

…………

When the three arrived at Wanmin Hall, the scene before them made them gasp in shock.

"this……"

(Life is tough, Coconut Sheep sighs~)

Looking at the sea of ​​people in front of him, Jiang Mu guessed.

"Could it be... that Xiangling has already made bubble tea?"

When they arrived at Wanmintang, Jiang Mu suddenly realized what was happening.

Sure enough, Xiangling stood at the entrance, selling milk tea cup after cup.

The sign next to it reads...

"Wanmintang's new product: Pearl Milk Tea! Special offer, only 15 RMB per cup! Buy now while supplies last!"

"This... Uncle Mao is such a shrewd businessman..."

Jiang Mu smiled bitterly.

Fortunately, paper cups are now available in Liyue; otherwise, just finding the right utensils would have taken Wanmintang quite a while...

"Sigh, looks like we'll have to lend a hand..."

Yan Fei said helplessly.

"Actually, I came here to..."

Jiang Mu was about to decline, but the former had already rolled up his sleeves, stepped forward, walked to Xiang Ling's side, picked up a cup of milk tea, and smiled charmingly.

"Is there anyone else who wants to buy?"

"It's Miss Yan Fei!"

"She's actually helping out here!"

"Quick, I need to go buy a few more cups!"

…………………

Suddenly, several hundred more people appeared at the entrance of Wanmintang, which was enough to show Yanfei's popularity.

“If it weren’t for Yan Fei’s true desire, she wouldn’t have agreed to help anyone who asked, including me.”

While Jiang Mu was lost in thought, Gan Yu quietly spoke up beside him.

"So, it seems my brother's charm is truly amazing."

At the end of her sentence, Gan Yu couldn't resist teasing Jiang Mu.

"ah……"

Jiang Mu could only use the excuse of helping out in the kitchen to hurriedly escape.

Watching the hurried and flustered figures fleeing, Gan Yu smiled and murmured.

"Your Majesty, you are right."

"He can indeed bring life to Liyue Harbor."

……………

Upon arriving at the kitchen, Chef Mao, who was busy at work, saw Jiang Mu and laughed heartily.

"You've got a lot of clever ideas, kid. My family is going to make a fortune again."

After saying that, Master Mao leaned closer and said nervously.

"You little brat, did you do a good job of what I asked you to do?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu was both amused and exasperated.

"Don't worry, shouldn't we get rid of these guests first?"

"Oh oh oh!"

……………

After working for almost the entire afternoon, the group finally satisfied the crazy diners.

Oh, no, it can't be called satisfaction, because...

I'm so sorry!

Xiangling bowed deeply.

"Due to limited ingredients, today's milk tea is sold out."

"ah?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd expressed their dissatisfaction, but they could only disperse.

"Phew~"

Wiping the sweat from her brow, Xiangling turned around and thanked them.

"Thank you so much, Miss Yanfei."

"It's alright, it's alright..."

Yan Fei waved her hand.

"It's not bad to try selling products live occasionally..."

Just then, everyone noticed that there was another person standing outside the Wanmin Hall, seemingly wanting to say something.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

Jiang Mu stepped forward and asked.

Seeing that everyone had finally realized him, the man quickly spoke in broken Liyue dialect.

"Hello... My name is Madara, and I am a merchant from Fontainebleau."

Everyone: "Huh?"
