It’s great that today I just need to make a fire and don’t have to collect firewood.
"lu?"
Just as he put down the firewood in his hand, Guoba seemed to sense something and subconsciously looked towards the entrance.
Then... Bai Luo's ghostly figure appeared at the entrance of the camp.
“Who is it?!”
When Bai Luo appeared, he did not deliberately try to conceal his tracks.
So Xiangling, who was dealing with the wild boar, also noticed Bai Luo coming over.
"Long time no see, Master Xiangling."
Are Bai Luo and Xiang Ling familiar with each other
We weren't that close, at most I'd had dinner at her place.
"Oh, it's Mr. Bai from Northland Bank."
For Xiangling, Mr. Bai from Northland Bank is also a generous big customer.
Not only do they order a lot of dishes each time, but they also give precise reviews.
The most important thing is that no matter how much food you order, he can finish it all.
Unfortunately, he always liked to put the money in the account of North Country Bank after meals. Later, he was learned from a red-clothed wanderer from Inazuma and he owed her a lot of money on credit.
"It's been a long time since we last met. I thought you had returned to Winterfell, Mr. Bai. I didn't expect to see you in Mondstadt."
Although the relationship between the two is just that they can say a few words when they meet, it still makes people feel more cordial to meet someone who can call each other's name in a foreign land.
"No, I just went to Inazuma when I had time, and then I returned to Mondstadt and settled here temporarily."
Bai Luo spoke after stroking the fiery red cat in his arms.
His eyes were also fixed on the wild boar that Xiangling was dealing with.
"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. I'm just dealing with a wild boar. Would you like to come with me, Mr. Bai?"
After noticing what Bai Luo was looking at, Xiangling also enthusiastically extended her invitation.
First of all, as a chef, Xiangling’s favorite thing is cooking and cooking for others.
He has a big appetite, good taste and is not short of money.
For Xiangling, Bai Luo is definitely the top gourmet.
In the whole of Liyue, the only person who is stronger than him is probably Mr. Zhongli, who often brings a lark to her house for dinner, right
"Then I will respectfully obey your command."
Bai Luo is really good at making barbecue in the wild.
But compared with Xiangling, the professional cook, he is slightly inferior.
When I have time, I should ask Xiangling how to process poultry meat. Otherwise, every time I stew pigeons for that girl Columbia, she will hunt me down.
Isn't it just a feast of pigeons? Is it necessary to be so fierce
"Speaking of which, how did Master Xiangling appear in Mondstadt? When I heard the noise from far away, I thought someone was captured by the Hillilchur people."
Looking at the tea that Guoba brought to him, Bai Luo couldn't help but take another look.
Is this thing really a demon
She is even more skilled in serving tea and water than her own Ji Ana.
It seems that the training of Jiana has been a bit too lenient recently.
"You know, I like to search for rare ingredients and innovate the dishes the most."
Xiangling took out some fruits and vegetables that Guoba had searched from the Qiuqiu people's camp and explained while sorting them.
"What a coincidence! Recently, a knowledgeable gentleman came to the store. He tried almost all the dishes I can cook and asked me if I had any new dishes."
"So you came to Mondstadt?"
If someone else explained it this way, Bai Luo might still suspect that it was an excuse or that the girl had ulterior motives.
But if it is put on Xiangling, then it would be perfect.
"That's about right. I heard that there was a dragon disaster in Mondstadt. At that time, Lord Tianquanxing specially sent craftsmen to help with post-disaster reconstruction. So I thought... could I bring back some dragon meat? I came here on impulse, but I didn't expect that after I came here, the dragon disaster had already ended."
Chapter 449 What is Guoba afraid of
I actually want to eat dragon meat
If Bai Luo remembered correctly, the image of the Emperor seemed to be a dragon, right
Tsk tsk.
Fortunately, the country of Teyvat is relatively open-minded, otherwise... ... just for wanting to eat dragon meat, she would be in big trouble.
"lulu~"
While Bai Luo and Xiang Ling were chatting, Guoba, who was sitting next to them, was not idle either.
In the camp of the Hill people, you can occasionally see some wooden barrels and wooden boxes.
These things were looted by the Qiuqiu people from passing merchants.
However, compared with equipment and weapons, the Hillichul people seem to care more about food.
So if you don't mind the Hillbillies, you can look around in their storage boxes, and you might find some good vegetables or fruits.
Guoba was sorting these things out.
"lu?!"
I don’t know what he saw, but Guoba’s expression suddenly changed.
After it took out the potatoes, tomatoes and other vegetables and brought them to Xiangling, it ran happily to the box.
After tiptoeing around for a while, Guoba came to Bai Luo holding a red fruit.
“Lululu, lulu, lulu?”
"... ..."
Looking at the red sunset fruit in front of him, Bai Luo seemed to have some kind of auditory hallucination.
He had been giving sunset fruits to others all his life, and yet someone still took the initiative to hand them to him.
What is this
Sending fruits to Bai Luo
Xiangling saw this scene but didn't say anything.
When Bai Luo was eating at Wanmin Hall, Guoba was very close to him. It was not surprising that he was doing this now.
"For me?"
"lulu~"
Guoba nodded, his eyes turning into crescent shapes as he smiled.
"Mr. Bai, it's like this. Guoba once accidentally ate a strange sunset fruit and almost died. After that, he dared not eat these fruits again, even if they were good ones."
Just as Xiangling said.
There was no hidden meaning behind Guoba's giving the fruit to Bai Luo. He just wanted to express his goodwill.
Guoba had done the same thing before, so Xiangling wasn't surprised.
Bai Luo took the sunset fruit handed to him and placed it in front of him and sniffed it.
The strange fragrance instantly spread and filled the entire camp.
Not only Guoba who had just walked away, but even Xiangling subconsciously looked over here.
"What's that smell? It smells so good?"
When her gaze shifted to the fruit in Bai Luo's hand, she seemed a little surprised.
She knew that sunset apples were usually sweet, but was this one too sweet
"How about... you take it and study it?"
Lifting the fruit in his hand, Bai Luo asked tentatively.
He had no intention of letting Xiangling eat it for the time being.
It’s not that she was afraid of the rice crust next to her, it’s just that if she fainted, Bai Luo wouldn’t be able to eat the barbecue.
"Okay, I'll try to mix it later to see if I can come up with a new sauce. Guoba, go take the fruit."
Xiangling did not refuse Bai Luo. As a cook, and an ambitious one at that, she was very happy to use this thing to research some useful sauces.
But no matter how she urged, the Guoba next to her looked as if she was facing a great enemy.
"lu!lu!"
Xiangling even saw a hint of fear in Guoba's eyes.
What's going on? Guoba has always been fearless, right
Even if he had suffered psychological trauma from the sunset fruit before, it should not have reached this extent.
Xiangling didn't know that Guoba ate the sunset fruit left by Battosai because he smelled the sweet scent of the fruit.
Now... that long-lost sweet scent comes again, and it is even stronger than before.
How could it not be afraid
It even felt that if it touched the sunset fruit, its claws would be gone.
"You should keep it."
Bai Luo said as he threw it to Xiangling.
"Okay."
Xiangling didn't hesitate to take the sunset fruit, and then she put it in front of her and sniffed it hard.
Immediately, an intoxicated expression appeared on his face.
"This kind of atmosphere... has given me countless inspirations."
After wiping the saliva from the corner of her mouth, Xiangling said with great satisfaction.
If it weren't for the chef's instinct to curb her foodie nature, she would probably have taken a bite.
After the fruits were put away, Guoba's expression looked much better.
However, when it looked at Bai Luo again, there was something wrong with its eyes.
Because it has already realized what is the reason for the sunset fruit to undergo such a mutation.
"The food is here~"
Dozens of minutes later, Xiangling finally cooked the wild boar and placed the still fragrant dish in front of Bai Luo.
"I'm sorry, the situation doesn't allow me to do this. I can only do this much. I hope Mr. Bai won't mind."
After arranging everything, Xiangling said with a slightly apologetic tone.
In her opinion, even if there were the pots and vegetables of the Qiuqiu people, and some abandoned seasonings were also found.
But compared with the dishes in the kitchen, the quality of this dish is still a bit worse.
"That's impossible. I haven't eaten Chef Xiangling's food for a long time. I didn't expect your cooking skills are still excellent."
Looking at the wild combination of meat and vegetables in front of him, Bai Luo couldn't stop drooling.
I remember that when he was in Inazuma, he once had a meal in a restaurant.
The owner of that shop claimed that his cooking skills were better than those of the chefs in Liyue.
Later, Bai Luo found out that the reason why he said that was because a Liyue chef learned some basic skills and went to Inazuma to boast that his cooking skills represented the top level of Liyue.
As a result, Liyuecai's reputation in Inazuma plummeted.
Perhaps this is what they call a bad apple spoiling the whole barrel
