Chapter 2
Second floor, Good Hunter restaurant.
"Boss, I'll go down first, just if any guests come to order," Sarah said.
Although she also wanted to stay with the Boss and Barbara, she couldn't stand the spiciness.
She couldn't stand the spiciness like most of the people in Mondstadt. Therefore, she always put ready-made chilly powder instead of fresh chilies while cooking spicy dishes so that the pungent smell would not be so strong.
Even so, not many people in Mondstadt could stand such a dish.
Only merchants and travelers from other regions will order spicy dishes occasionally.
"Um..." Jason nodded.
He took out some fresh animal meat that Sarah brought this morning and chopped it into minced meat.
This fresh animal meat comes from Springvale Town outside Mondstadt. Every family consists of a hunter who supplies fresh meat daily to Mondstadt.
He took out Wolfhook berries from the box and squeezed out some juice.
Then, he sprinkled the chopped Jueyun chilies into the white and tender tofu in the pot.
"I bought this small lamp grass for 1,000 Mora from Flora."
Jason said while taking out a small lamp grass with a light blue stamen.
This is an ingredient used to enhance the umami flavor.
Cooking this Mapo tofu for just 10 mora is honestly a significant loss.
Even the small lamp grass, a specialty of Mondstadt, is so expensive, not to mention Jueyun chilly, a specialty of the Liyue region.
Even so, why do you still cook at such a big loss?
Do not ask!
Just because Barbara is so cute!
Cuteness is Justice!
"I know, I know. Thank you for cooking, brother Jason."
Barbara rolled her eyes at him, focusing on the red and white tofu mixed with some soup in the pot. She felt hot all over her body by smelling the smell coming out of the pot.
"All right, here you go."
Soon, Jason brought the steaming Mapo tofu to the table.
The Mapo tofu looked amazing, with all the ingredients trying to display their deliciousness.
"Wow~"
Barbara's eyes glowed, and colorful, magical stars flickered around her body. She couldn't wait to sit down and eat.
"I'm going to eat!" She clasped her hands together in prayer, then picked up a spoonful of Mapo tofu and put it in her mouth.
"Delicioooos~"
The smooth texture of tofu and the crispy minced meat inside the mouth, hot, spicy, numb, and savory, all deliciousness attacked her taste buds like an explosion.
Barbara covered her cheeks and clamped her legs, restraining herself from moaning like a vulgar woman.
Sweat was also pouring out of her body.
The crystal clear sweat was visible on her shoulders. Her warm white tights had also been soaked, vaguely showcasing the calf inside.
Jason sat by the window and watched her eat with a smile.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a familiar tall figure greeting him.
Jason turned around and nodded.
The figure responded and walked into the restaurant.
"Jean, she's here!" Jason said.
Barbara, who was intoxicated in Mapo tofu, froze suddenly. Then, a pair of blue eyes looked at him in inquiry.
"Well, she's already up." Jason gestured for her to look towards the stairs.
The tall and beautiful Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, dressed in a white knight uniform, had already walked upstairs.
Jean has a tall, athletic build and fair skin. She has grey-blue eyes and medium-length gold-blonde hair tied back into a ponytail with a black bow. On her ears, she wears a pair of gold cross earrings.
She wears a white, blue, black, and red strapless shirt with a long blue tailcoat, a pair of separate white sleeves, a short blue and gold cloak attached to a separate white collar. Her white tights are embroidered with a gold diamond-dot pattern and pair of white high-heeled knee-high boots. She also wears a pair of blue gauntlets.
She's definitely worthy of the word 'beauty.'
"Jean, a rare guest!" Jason smiled at her arrival.
"It's not as exaggerated as you say!" Jean also smiled slightly at him and immediately noticed another presence beside him.
"Barbara is also here." Her tone became softer after seeing Barbara.
Barbara's face was flushed, and she ran away like a squirrel that was found.
"I, I am full!"
"Jean, master Jean, brother Jason, I'm heading back to the church first."
Barbara ran two steps and realized that she had forgotten to put on her shoes. So, she hurriedly returned, put on her black shoes, and rushed downstairs.
If Jean found out that she sneaked out of the church at noon to eat at Good Hunter without doing any serious business, she would feel guilty in her heart.
"You don't have to run so fast. Am I so scary?" Jean is very helpless about Barbara.
If she knew Barbara was here, she wouldn't come up.
"Anyone in Mondstadt, if they are found by Jean resting or lazing around, will hide their faces in shame and run away," Jason replied with a smile.
Jean felt a little disappointed after hearing this, "I feel like I've become someone nobody wants to encounter."
"That's not the case. I'm glad to see you, Jean."
Jason put his hands on the chest and commented, "It's too rare to see a beauty like Jean."
"Thank you for the compliment." Jean bowed slightly towards him in a ladylike manner.
Then she added: "Barbara works very hard and sometimes even pushes herself to the limit. I can see that she is pleased to be here, so I really shouldn't come up to disturb her leisure time."
Jason was stunned, then stepped forward to reach out and touch her cheeks.
"Jason?" Jean took a step back, with her cheeks flushing.
"I wonder if you are embarrassed saying this," Jason said speechlessly.
"You are the least qualified person to say this, Jean, Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, right?" Jason added.
