Dialogue
"There seems to be a very unusual customer in the tavern..."
"Well, it isn't everyday that someone piques your interest. How about we go check this person out together?"
"Forget it... I wouldn't dare to utter a word in front of him even if I went."

- Another familiar face has arrived at the tavern.
- (Talk to Zhongli)
- Paimon: Zh—Zhongli!
- Zhongli: Ah, Traveler. Good to see you, I trust you are well?
- Paimon: W—Wait... Uh, Zhongli, what are you doing here?
- Zhongli: If I am to roam about the world, then I certainly mustn't limit my destinations. The free and prosperous Land of Wind is as splendid a place to visit as any.
- Zhongli: And it's quite a pleasant surprise to run into you here.
Can I get you a drink?
We can chat over a cup of tea.- Zhongli: One Misty Garden please. I take my tea strong, thank you.
- (If the drink was not made correctly)
- Paimon: Huh, this doesn't look like the drink they ordered. Just give this one to Paimon and try making another.
- (After making the drink correctly)
- Traveler: (Alright, this drink is looking good.)
- Paimon: Sorry to keep you waiting!
Enjoy.- Zhongli: Mmm, the tea is clear and glows with a pleasing hue. Its richness is complemented by a floral and fruity fragrance. Exquisite.
- Paimon: Wow, so Zhongli is even super knowledgeable about tea.
- Paimon: Paimon usually just gulps down the tea and says something simple like, "Yummy yummy in Paimon's tummy."
- Zhongli: Mindfully savoring the tea shows due respect to the person that brewed it for you.
- Zhongli: Tea of good quality is hard to come by, and those capable of brewing tea according to the occasion and emotions even more so.
You're too kind.
I'm flattered.- Paimon: Oh, Paimon gets it now.
- Paimon: So could you teach Paimon how to savor tea like you do? It seems you smell it first, then drink it, right?
- Zhongli: That's correct.
- Zhongli: Every type of tea is unique. The more you drink, the more you will understand the subtle differences. Smelling the aroma will reveal the quality of the tea.
- Zhongli: Lower-grade teas emit a musty and seemingly scorched scent, whereas ones with a delicate yet soothing aroma are usually of a higher quality.
- Zhongli: If you want to be more particular, according to Liyue ancient tradition, you could acquire a "Vintage Goblet," which is used specifically for examining the aroma.
- Paimon: Oh no, all this time, Paimon's been missing out on her tea...
- Zhongli: Not to worry. Knowledge is vast, it's never too late to learn.
- Zhongli: As a beginner, you can try this method: first observe the color. Then, smell the fragrance... And finally, take a sip.
- Zhongli: Remember, you can understand anything as long as you approach it in the proper order.
I learned a lot today.
I'd like to know more.- Zhongli: Qiaoying Village in northwest Liyue is famous for their tea industry. It would be well worthwhile the visit when you get the chance.
- Zhongli: What I shared with you today are mostly my own habits as an old-fashioned Liyue local.
- Zhongli: Each region has its own tea traditions and culture. One should always respect the conventions of the local region.
- Paimon: Paimon gets it! But whether Paimon can remember it all is another story, hehe...
Classic Paimon.- Zhongli: Thank you for such excellent tea, (Traveler). It made my trip out here all the more worthwhile.
- Zhongli: If you ever come to manage a tea house, I will certainly be a regular.
- Paimon: Well, we're already pretty busy. I don't think we'll have time to manage a side hustle at a tea house.
Well, who knows...- Zhongli: Regardless, you have my complete support.
- Zhongli: Let's call it a day. I won't take more of your time. All the best with your new pursuit.
Bye.
Wait, about the bill...- Zhongli: Ah yes, the bill... Just put it on Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's tab, as usual.
- Paimon: Of course... Take care! Give our regards to the director!
