I'm in Liyue, but I'm the only person in the chat group?

Seeing Xingqiu's actions, Xin Yan and Ke Qing looked at each other with a speechless expression, put the cards in their hands back into the pile, stood up and went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes.

...

Ah... I can't eat anymore... I'm going to vomit if I eat any more!

After a lively banquet, Hu Tao put down the chopsticks in his hands, leaned back on the chair, and stroked his round belly with both hands, a look of satisfaction on his face.

Xiang Ling, your skills have become a little better again!

Indeed! I almost didn't stop eating.

Chongyun on the side also nodded with lingering fear, quite agreeing with Hu Tao's evaluation.

Just now, because the Xiang Ling Shao dishes were so delicious, he almost stretched out his chopsticks towards the dishes with chili peppers.

Fortunately, Xingqiu next to him reacted in time, otherwise he would have performed a huge transformation in front of his friends.

The taste of this dry-pot bacon is different from before. The aroma is stronger and the texture is crisper.

Yun Jin stretched out her hand to touch her waistline, which had gained a lot of weight. She was slightly worried about losing weight and gave a favorable comment.

Ke Qing and Xin Yan also expressed their opinions one after another, and they basically praised Xiang Ling's skills for improving again.

Hey, hey, thanks to the recipe book Brother Hanxiao gave me.

Hearing the compliments from her friends, Xiang Ling touched the hair next to her ear with some embarrassment.

She discovered many of the royal family's unique sauce and spice preparation techniques in the recipes, so she tried adding these to the dishes.

It seems to be working well so far.

What I provide is just the recipe, and it all depends on your own ability to make it.

Han Xiao repeatedly waved his hands to indicate that Xiang Ling didn't need to thank him, and then he sighed to everyone:

The business of Wanmintang is expected to become even more prosperous in the coming year!

Speaking of next year, what are your plans for next year's work?

Seeing Han Xiao mentioning next year, Ke Qing also asked everyone at the dinner table about their plans for next year.

Wow, is it necessary to talk about such a heavy topic after dinner?

Upon hearing Keqing's inquiry, the quirky Hutao immediately cried out, What a fuss.

Huh? Is this a heavy topic?

Ke Qing looked at Hu Tao with a confused expression, wasn't she just chatting after dinner?

It is indeed our diligent Yuhengxing who can ask such a topic!

Xingqiu smiled and gave Keqing a thumbs up, and then continued the topic:

Next year I should still be helping Han Xiao manage Guili City. The specific work arrangements will depend on whether he will cause trouble.

Well...be mentally prepared, you will be busy after the new year.

Hearing Xingqiu bring the topic to herself, Han Xiao said something with a smile that made the other party's face freeze.

I should travel in Liyue next year just like this year.

Seeing that the Xingqiu was sunk, Chongyun quickly revealed his plans for next year.

As a family of alchemists, there is someone specializing in the industry, so he is not very short of money. He just needs to exorcise evil spirits as usual.

I am currently preparing for a long opera about Liyue. In addition to the necessary stage performances, I will probably spend the next year looking for ancient books and information.

Due to the influence of Han Xiao, Yun Jin has recently been very interested in the human legends in Liyue's ancient books, so she decided to find out these contents and compile them into a long opera.

The Hall of Rebirth is still the same...

After hearing several friends talk about their plans for next year, Hutao sat on a chair and said carelessly:

I just hope I can attract more customers by then.

No...I would rather you calm down for a while.

In response to Hu Tao's wish, Keqing immediately reached out to cover her forehead with helplessness on her face.

Although birth, old age, illness and death are normal in life, the other party's method of soliciting customers on the streets of Liyue is really troublesome.

She didn’t even know how many complaints she had received about Hutao.

I may leave Liyue Port next year.

Seeing that Keqing was about to grab Hutao and start preaching mode again, Xin Yan quickly spoke to attract everyone's attention to herself.

Xin Yan, are you leaving next year?

Hearing Xin Yan's plan, Xiang Ling first showed a hint of surprise, and then asked with a worried face:

Did those people in Liyue Port say something else?

No, no, no, it's my own decision!

Seeing the changes in the faces of her friends, Xin Yan quickly explained to everyone the reason why she planned to leave Liyue temporarily.

I heard that Fontaine is preparing to hold a new Rainbow Color Tour Music Festival, so I plan to visit Fontaine, the birthplace of rock and roll, after the Lantern Festival.

By the way, I also want to see if I can invite musicians from Fontaine to come to Liyue to hold a rainbow tour.

It's a musical ceremony from Fontaine. It's quite interesting.

Keqing reached out and pinched her chin and thought for a moment, then raised her head and looked at Han Xiao:

Hanxiao, what do you think about the next Hai Lantern Festival, we also hold a music festival?

This is a good idea. We can also invite musicians from other countries to join us. Music of various styles will surely create wonderful sparks.

Chapter 643 Elder-style torture

As Han Xiao and the others chatted after dinner, the night of the Hai Lantern Festival slowly passed by, and it was not until late at night that everyone left.

As the sun rises, Liyue people officially welcome the first day of the new year.

boom--

Crackling——

Early in the morning, there was a continuous sound of firecrackers in Liyue Port, and the streets were full of Liyue people wearing new clothes and going to their elders' homes to pay New Year's greetings.

Even Han Xiao, who usually likes to be lazy, got up early today, put on a new set of clothes, went out and walked towards Yujing Terrace with the gifts he had prepared.

Master Hanxiao, happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Many people saw Han Xiao carrying gifts on the road and immediately said New Year blessings to him with smiles on their faces.

And Han Xiao nodded in return.

Soon, he arrived at the Taihan family's residence in Yujing.

Master Xiao, you are back!

As soon as the servant Ah Fu, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, saw Han Xiao, he hurriedly walked up to Han Xiao and reached out to take the gift in Han Xiao's hand.

Afu, are Uncle Rui and Sister Yue up?

Handing the gift in his hand to Ah Fu, Han Xiao asked casually.

The master and the lady are receiving several other young masters and ladies in the living room.

Hey, it seems I'm late.

In other words, Master Xiao, you have a lot of things to do right now. Master and Miss will definitely be very happy if you can come here in person!

Tsk tsk tsk...Long time no see, Ah Fu, you are getting better and better at talking!

Listening to Ah Fu's flattering words, Han Xiao couldn't help but click her tongue, then reached out and patted the other person's shoulder:

Then I'll go find Uncle Rui and Sister Yue first, and... thank you for your hard work during the New Year. Say Happy New Year to everyone for me!

Okay, Master Xiao, I remember it.

After bidding farewell to the servant Ah Fu, Han Xiao came to the living room with familiar faces.

At this time, the living room used by the Han family to welcome guests was full of people. Sitting in the first seats were several elders of the Han clan, and the head of the family, Han Rui, sat beside them.

As for Han Yue and other Han family children, they sat on both sides of the living room.

The moment Han Xiao walked into the living room, the entire living room suddenly stopped for a moment. Many of the Han family members subconsciously held their breath and stared at the leader of the family who had just walked in.

Since Han Xiao succeeded Tianshu and became one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, Tianshu, many members of the Han clan who felt sorry for Han Xiao leaving the family and choosing to be self-reliant were now filled with emotion.

After all, who would have thought that the young man who was clamoring to support himself by his own ability not only fulfilled his promise first, but also later became the top of Liyue.

It’s really dazzling!

Xiao, a descendant of the Han family, pays homage to several clan elders and family heads!

Han Xiao didn't know what the Han family's children were thinking. After arriving in the living room, he respectfully began to salute the elders according to the rules of the Liyue family.

Okay...okay!

Looking at Han Xiao's straight spine and young face, the slightly trembling old people didn't say much, but their happy expressions were already beyond words.

The Han family is a blacksmithing family. Although it has gone through thousands of years of development, the atmosphere within the family has always been good.

emmm, how should I put it?

After all, they are all a group of iron players who spend most of their time by the stove every day. There is much less intrigue among the big family.

But on the other hand, this is also a flaw of the Han family.

After all, working with ore and iron tools all day long, the Han family's children are relatively simple-minded.

Therefore, the Han family has rarely participated in Liyue's political arena for thousands of years, just because they are afraid of suffering a loss and causing the entire family to be implicated.

However, what these clan elders never expected was that just when these old guys were about to be buried, the Han family would have such a strange person like Han Xiao, whose personality was completely unlike the Han family.

The other party not only became one of Liyue's Seven Stars, but also led Liyue to develop better and better.

As expected of the Qilin'er of our clan!

...

The big family's New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year were quite cumbersome. It wasn't until the afternoon that Han Xiao spoke to the head of the family, Han Rui, and her sister Han Yue.

Han Mansion Study Room.

Hanxiao, your identity is different now. You can come later next time.

Looking at his most promising nephew sitting in front of him, Han Rui couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and gave Han Xiao some advice in a good mood.

That's true, Brother Xiao!

You don't know how much pressure we ordinary people feel when you appear in the living room!

Hearing his father's words, Han Yue on the side nodded repeatedly, with a look of 'helplessness' on his face.

It was already troublesome to pay New Year's greetings in the past, but now that her brother has become the Seven Stars of Liyue, she is a little better, but it is extremely difficult for the other Han family members to sit in the living room.

I understand, Uncle Rui.

Han Xiao nodded to show that she understood.

He now realized why Han Rui let him come a little later.

The reason is very simple, because my identity as Liyue Qixing will bring too much pressure to other Han family children, especially those of the same generation.

You have your own considerations when doing things now. Uncle Rui, I won't say more.

Seeing that Han Xiao accepted his suggestion calmly, Han Rui didn't say much in this regard. After all, he, the head of the family, couldn't play with his nephew in terms of playing tricks.

After briefly skipping this topic, he shifted the matter to Han Xiao's life:

Hanxiao, you look like you're almost twenty. Have you met anyone you like during this time?

Ah this...

Hearing Han Rui's question, Han Xiao's face froze. He really didn't expect that one day he would be forced to fall in love by his elders.

Uncle Rui, it's still early for me.

Why are you so early? When other people are as old as you, their children are already two or three years old.
