Chapter 19 - Chapter 19: The Princess Arrives, Wages and Prices

One hour ago.

Adventurers' Guild.

A girl with golden hair and wearing shameful clothes walked out with a talking pitch-black night crow.

The Night Crow flapped its wings and complained, "Miss, please don't send me to spy on the Wind Dragon's movements for the sake of a commission."

"If I were to be discovered, with my current physique, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to fill that guy's teeth."

The blonde girl covered her eyes with one hand, raised her noble and beautiful face, and spoke proudly.

"Hehe, how can you be so fearful when you have the honor of being a concubine of the Princess of Judgment?"

"It's only natural that you would sacrifice everything for me, including your eyesight and your life, right?"

Night Crow was helpless: "That's what I said..."

"Oz, look once more with your eyes upon that Hall of the Deer Hunter, where millions of serpents gather, and where they offer their most delicious delicacies to tempt the appetite of the hungry stomach. Why is there so much noise?"

Fischl looked at the long lines in front of the Deer Hunter Restaurant and stretched out her hand to direct Oz to go and investigate.

"Yes! Your Highness, I will follow your orders!" Oz flapped his wings and flew to the front of the team, looking at the customer who was ordering and the brand new menu from another world.

"Princess, we're about to meet our match!" Oz changed his mind and flew back to Fischl.

"My lord, a traveler from another world has taken up residence in the Deer Hunting Hall, creating a golden and red radiance that has attracted thousands of subjects."

Fischl's eyes widened, her expression thoughtful.

"A traveler from another world? Let me see who he is."

"Oz, go to the back of billions of serpents and bring me golden and red light!"

Fischl, who got the promotional advertisement for the menu of the other world, directed Oz to line up and prepare to taste the coral fish that so many people were eating.

"Yes!" Looking at the long line, Oz sighed.

"The beast of desire is roaring within this princess, devouring her power, Oz..." Twenty minutes later, Fischl lay weakly on the table, rubbing her hungry stomach and shouting.

"Here it comes! Here it comes! Miss!" Oz followed a waiter and brought golden coral fish with golden and red glitter, tomato sauce.

"My followers, please enjoy this offering with me!" Fischl couldn't wait and stretched out her hand to start tasting it.

"Hmm~ Such delicacies should be placed in the Imperial Garden of Forgetfulness."

Oz devoured the fish in one gulp, a chip of it.

"A thornless holy item!"

"Let's wait here and meet the traveler from another world!" After finishing her meal, Fischl was not in a hurry to leave. She wanted to take a look at the chef that people were talking about.

"The traveler dwells in the house of burning torches! He comes at the beginning of the cycle of two days and nights!"

Fischl pricked up her ears and took note of the information.

"Damn it! What a trick of fate that made us miss each other!" After Ryan got off work, received his salary and left the kitchen, Fischl, who had been waiting in vain, sent Night Raven to inquire about him.

Stand up, spread your dark wings, and head into the dark alley.

A young man in a Liyue blue shirt, holding a purse, frowned slightly and snapped his fingers as he walked quickly on the street.

"The traveler is in trouble! It's time to show up, Oz!"

Fischl emerged from the shadows, stretched out her stance, and shouted loudly toward the front.

"I am the Princess of Judgment, the traveler ahead. Fate has invited us to meet here!"

Oz then shouted, "The lady said, man in front, please wait a moment!"

Unexpectedly, Ryan ignored it, or didn't hear it.

An awkward expression appeared on Fischl's face. The lights that came on nearby and the heads that popped out made her hide in the shadows again.

"How dare you ignore this princess." Fischl's nose twitched.

Oz quickly said, "Princess, don't forget! Travelers from other worlds don't speak the language of Teyvat!"

"Oh! Oh!" Fischl suddenly realized that this was also part of the character setting in the other world.

"Since that is the case, this princess will grant him the ability to understand languages."

Oz reminded her that Common and Mondish cannot be used, so Liyue language should be used.

This princess is a genius. She has traveled all over the world and mastered several languages as easily as eating and drinking.

Fischl regained her confidence and prepared to take a shortcut to block the road ahead.

Oz follows.

Eating and drinking water means studying except eating and drinking water.

"A temporary worker on the bottom floor of Mondstadt doing some cleaning work, eight hours a day, and about 200 Mora a day."

Ryan walked on the road, muttering to himself, and did not notice the follower behind him.

"Their wages are 25 Mora an hour, and my basic service wages are 50 Mora an hour."

"I'll go to work at 8:30 in the morning and return at 8:30 in the evening, with a two-hour break in between. 500 Mora for a ten-hour day."

"The price of Teyvat omelette is one zero cheaper than in the game."

"The dragon disaster is causing prices of fruits, vegetables, and meat to skyrocket, while prices of grain and flour, which are relatively stable, are being calculated."

"A bag of flour at Mond's Department Store costs 135 Mora, 25 kilograms. I can buy more than three bags of flour a day."

"25 kilograms of flour is enough for a family of three to eat for more than ten days. If you buy flour and add some other cheap vegetables with an average salary, it's completely enough for life."

"It's not as dire as in the game."

Ryan listened to the crisp sound of the Mora in his hand.

The Deer Hunter, located in a bustling area of Mond, is the most authentic restaurant, but it is never the cheapest.

Yesterday, Ryan worked for five hours and sold forty servings of coral fish, fifty servings of braised pork, and sixty servings of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

This is stealing Deer Hunter's original sales share.

It's a surprise that we can sell so many.

Coral fish is the best-selling item, but because he makes it slowly and the price is a bit high, fewer fish are sold.

The price is 2980 Mora.

It's a little over 1,000 more expensive than Deer Hunter's Northern Smoked Chicken.

Today, I learned from a customer that Liyue has a fish dish with a similar flavor and tomatoes, but a different shape. It's a sister dish to this one, the squirrel fish, named after its shape, which resembles a squirrel's tail.

They thought the coral fish had a better shape and appeared to be more numerous.

Second one, braised pork.

Liyue Tianshu meat is extremely difficult to pick because it is located on the cliff. There is also rare Qingxin and precious mushrooms such as Matsutake.

Coupled with the fact that it is located in Liyue Harbor, where housing prices are high, and the reputation effect of the Seven Stars, the premium is very serious.

Ryan's braised pork has simple ingredients and is priced at only one tenth of the original price, 1,200 Mora.

This makes many people willing to try it, just like going to Liyue Harbor to eat Tianshu meat.

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes are priced at 200 Mora, which is super cheap.

During these two days, all three dishes are 10% off as a promotion.

In the ten hours today, we sold more than 150 servings of coral fish and a similar number of fried eggs with onions.

The price of scrambled eggs with onions is not high, ranging from a few hundred Mora.

The last one, Mapo Tofu, is a bit more expensive, but still a bargain. Unfortunately, few people in Mondstadt are used to its taste, so very few have been sold.

However, Ryan is not in a hurry, as he knows that this dish will always find people who like to eat it.

Today, Sarah calculated the profits from two days' meals and gave him a share.

The gross profit after deducting the cost of 750 Mora dishes is 40%.

Since there is no chef salary, it is not calculated based on net profit.

The sales of coral fish will probably be at their peak these days.

Each dish brought him a share of almost 600 Mora. There were other dishes as well.

Mora earned more than 100,000 in two days.

It is easy to buy a set of two-star relics from Shi Liu, a jeweler from Liyue, in front of the tavern "Angel's Gift".

Too capitalist.

Ryan wanted to lower the prices of the three dishes, but Sarah wouldn't let him.

Due to the influence of the dragon disaster, everything except flour is ridiculously expensive, and purchasing is also expensive.

Everything is increasing except wages!

Although some Mond people could not bear it and reduced their consumption, the rich were still rich and did not care about the price of food at all.

There are even residents from small towns outside Mond who come to Mond to work in the morning, and when they return, they order takeout from the Deer Hunter and ask for their dinner to be delivered.

These are not just a few hundred meters in the game, but kilometers.

It takes half a day to ride a thousand-mile horse.

Ryan was so shocked that he almost spit out his food.

I just learned from others that most Mond people can't cook delicious food and can only survive by relying on takeout.

Dark dishes like "Looking Up at the Stars" often appear at home.

Rich people naturally won't let themselves be wronged.

"This princess has traveled across the stars, traversed numerous worlds, and experienced ten thousand different cosmic landscapes."

"I wonder where the traveler who can create the treasures that sparkle on the seabed comes from?"

A sentence full of middle school and girlish feeling interrupted his thoughts.

"Fi...Fischl?" Ryan was stunned!
