"The house is a bit messy, you guys just sit wherever you want, I'll go boil some water." Xiao Nan brought Ying and Guiyan to his home and took out a few stools.

She first took off her backpack, took out clean slippers for Ying and Guiyan to change into, and then walked away. Ying and the others could only hear bursts of noise coming from the room, so they took this opportunity to take a look around the environment inside the house.

The entrance was through a long and narrow corridor with shoe cabinets and shoe racks placed on both sides. This arrangement made the corridor, which was not spacious enough to begin with, even more crowded, and only one person could pass through at a time.

The shoe racks were piled with dusty shoes, and the shoes that Xiaonan and Ying had just taken off were placed on the ground next to the shoe racks.

The shoe cabinet on the other side was not completely closed. Ying took a glance and found that the shoes in the cabinet were all clean, and they were of different sizes, big and small.

It can be seen that Xiaonan's family is quite particular, and there are quite a few people in their family.

After crossing the aisle, there is a restaurant on the left. There is a long table with a plain table mat on the table. There are no bowls or plates on it, only a few bowl mats piled together. There are also a few fresh vegetables on the edge of the table.

There were a few wooden stools stacked in the corner. Ying guessed that they were used when there were many customers, but the restaurant was not very large. If all those stools were put in, it would be so crowded that no one could move around.

Next to the restaurant is the kitchen, where Xiao Nan is busy. The light in the kitchen is not very good, but you can still see the stove on the left side of the kitchen - it is a stove made of white marble, with no oil stains on it, but some burnt marks where the fire is burning.

In the middle was a row of seasonings, all in labeled glass bottles. Above them were two cupboards, which were tightly closed at the moment, and Ying had no idea what was inside.

On the right is a pool made of tiles. There are some water droplets hanging on the pool wall. A gray rag is draped over the pool. It is half dry and looks a little shabby.

On the right side of the aisle is the living room, which has two Luohan beds, but they are more like the sofas in Ying's impression. There are also some fruits and snacks on them. Although the variety is relatively simple, the quantity is still sufficient.

Opposite the "sofa" are five drawers, and on the right is a large wooden box.

Continuing along the corridor, there are the bathroom and bedroom. The door is open, but Ying, out of politeness, has no intention of peeping into other people's rooms. She just guesses based on her feeling that there are probably two or three more rooms inside.

Just as Ying looked away, Xiaonan came over with two paper cups. The cups were filled with freshly boiled hot water, with many dark green tea leaves floating in them. The fragrance of tea was everywhere, refreshing.

"This is tea that a merchant brought from another city some time ago. It has a less bitter taste and a refreshing fragrance. You can try it."

Not to mention Ying's experience of traveling in other worlds, he has drunk a lot of tea in Liyue alone. He wouldn't say that he is proficient in the tea ceremony, but at least he can tell the good from the bad.

She took the teacup, blew on it, took a sip of the tea and drank it. She could indeed smell a fragrance between her lips and teeth, but besides that, she also tasted a stale taste, which made the tea seem a little stale.

Before she shared her experience, she turned to look at Gui Yan and found that he was sipping the drink. He took two sips and then took a bite of the date cake. There was nothing unusual about him.

"This tea seems a little stale." Ying decided to express her feelings directly.

"Not fresh?" Xiao Nan was stunned for a moment, "How can it not be fresh? I bought it not long ago."

Xiao Nan also made herself a cup. She went back to the kitchen, took out her own cup and took a sip, then frowned.

Xiao Nan let out a "Ugh!" sound, then smiled apologetically and said:

"I'm sorry, the tea seems to be damp. I'll change it for you."

Ying didn't care, it was just a small matter after all, but when she was about to return the paper cup to Xiaonan, she suddenly felt dizzy and her hands trembled, and the paper cup almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, this trance was fleeting, and she quickly held the paper cup tightly to avoid an accident.

"Hmm? I think this cup of tea is delicious." Gui Yan licked the molasses that flowed out of the date cake, but still handed back the cup that was half drunk.

Afterwards, Xiao Nan served Ying and the others a new cup of tea, and this time there was no feeling of decadence.

While drinking tea and enjoying cakes, Ying asked Xiaonan:

"You brought us to your home, won't your family say anything?"

Ying felt that she should bring some gifts, but she had no money now.

"Family? Oh, don't worry. My family isn't in this city. This is the house we rented."

"You and Sanger?"

"No, no, no, it's not just the two of us. There's also a couple. The four of us rent the house together. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to afford such a big house alone." Xiao Nan sighed, "But now that the four of us share the rent, each person needs to spend a lot less money, and we can splurge once in a while."

"It's all because of those monsters. There's not enough land now. Let alone buying a house, even renting a house is almost unaffordable."

"Ahahaha..." Ying laughed dryly twice. She felt that this kind of situation happened frequently in a world she had been to before.

"There are four rooms in this house. The larger one is for them and their husband. Sanger and I each have one room. The other one is now used to store our goods."

"Goods? Your magic weapons and talismans?" Ying thought of the scene when he met Xiaonan and Sangge last night.

"It's not all magic weapons and spells, there are also some materials and the like. Anyway, we sell whatever is easy to sell."

"Well... do you think I can do business with you?" Ying pondered for a while and then asked.

"Ah? This, this is not good." Xiao Nan responded subconsciously, but did not immediately say the reason.

"...Ying, you have never done business before."

"Yes, I have. I opened a shop in Mond once, and it was profitable."

"But...we already have enough people."

"I can protect you, just like I did last night."

"Well……"

Ying thought that although this kind of traveling business was dangerous, she could handle most situations by herself. If she went to more places, maybe she could find a way back to Teyvat or find someone who could help her.

But seeing that Xiaonan seemed reluctant, she didn't want to force him.

"Forget it, I'll find another way."
