What’s even more commendable is that sometimes, even if you can’t afford Mora, they will be very generous in giving it to you.
As long as I can eat my fill, isn’t the purpose of life to have a full meal
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Wanmin Tang can survive between the two major cuisines.
"Little guy, long time no see."
After greeting the passers-by, Xiangling came to the bridge and took out a bone from the package.
“Woof woof!”
A pastoral dog ran over, wagging its tail, and rubbed Xiangling's hand affectionately.
This is the dog she rescued from the river before. She doesn’t know if it is a stray dog, but it is very human-like.
There was also a cat that was rescued with it.
However, compared to the dog, the cat was very afraid of humans. Even though Xiangling rescued it, it just watched from a distance and didn't dare to get close.
Besides, there was one thing she was very curious about.
She could understand a cat drowning, but why could a rural dog that could paddle also drown
"Sniff..."
Originally, the pastoral dog was wagging its tail like a small fan with a motor, but after smelling a familiar smell, a bit of human-like fear appeared on its face.
“Hua La La—”
The taste that penetrated deep into its soul instantly made its chin tremble unconsciously and its mouth began to secrete saliva.
“Ouch—”
He's back, that man is back!
After letting out a mournful cry toward the sky, the pastoral dog exerted force with its hind legs and jumped directly into the river.
And accompanied by waves of wailing, it was washed downstream by the river.
Not only the pastoral dog, but even the cat that was squatting on the railing and combing its hair paused.
That man
Is it possible
“Meow—”
With a howl that was even more creepy than that of a person in heat, the cat jumped into the river along with the dog.
This made Xiangling a little confused.
What's going on with these two guys
Why are you like a rice crust, startled all the time
Speaking of which, after Guoba came back, he went straight to the master chef. Is that really okay
With a lot of questions in her mind, Xiangling rescued the two little creatures and returned to her own Wanmin Hall.
"Dad, I'm back."
Although her clothes were wet by the river water, Xiangling did not show any discomfort.
However, after entering the store, Xiangling saw someone who surprised her—Zhongli.
"Xiangling is back. What a coincidence! Mr. Zhongli just said that he missed your cooking skills."
When Chef Mao in the kitchen heard Xiangling's voice, he couldn't hide his surprise in his tone.
Although Zhongli's words were a bit hurtful.
But if the person being praised is his daughter, then it's all worth it.
"It must be Lord Yan who is protecting me, which is why I am so lucky."
Zhongli smiled as he sipped the tea in front of him.
Compared with before, Zhongli behaved more calmly.
After he tried to give up the power in his hands little by little, he finally lived the life he wanted.
You can drink tea and listen to music every day. As long as you show up on the day of the Seven Stars Summoning Immortals Ceremony and solve any problems that the Seven Stars cannot solve, you can clock out of get off work.
It doesn't get any better than this.
Now all he needs is an opportunity.
An opportunity to truly hand over Liyue to mortals.
But before that, he still had one thing to resolve.
After solving these problems, he can truly become an ordinary person called Zhongli.
"It just so happens that I developed a new cuisine while in Mondstadt. How about Mr. Zhongli help me taste it?"
"That's great."
"I'm going to change into some clean clothes first. Please wait for a moment, Mr. Zhongli."
Looking at Xiangling who left in a hurry, even though she didn't say what the new cuisine was, Zhongli had a rough idea of it.
Because the scent of the Deception Flower on her was so strong, if he guessed correctly, the dishes this time would definitely be related to "sweetness".
And according to his understanding of the deception flower, if Xiangling extracted nectar from the deception flower, then the sweetness this time would not be just ordinary sweetness, but a sweetness that would refresh the heart.
After changing her clothes, Xiangling went into the kitchen.
"Can I help you?"
Master Mao tactfully made way for him and asked.
"Don't worry, I can handle it alone."
After taking out the wild boar meat brought from Qingquan Town, Xiangling took out the sunset fruit.
Although the fragrance has become much weaker than when Bai Luo gave it to her, it is still much sweeter than ordinary sunset fruit.
"This thing is a little sweeter, but it's still sunset fruit, so there shouldn't be any problem."
Normally, Xiangling would taste the unfamiliar ingredients herself before using them, because she would not serve dishes that were harmful to the body to guests.
But like I said before.
Sunset fruit is the most common fruit in the continent of Teyvat, and not many people would be wary of it.
When Guoba was almost knocked down by the Sunset Fruit, no one thought that there might be something wrong with the Sunset Fruit itself. Instead, they suspected that the red-clothed wanderer who left the Sunset Fruit behind might have done something.
Anyway, after washing the sunset fruit, Xiangling started her new dish.
Honey roasted pig!
Chapter 452 This time I won’t put it on the account of Wangshengtang
Just as Zhongli expected, it didn't take long before a mouth-watering smell came from the kitchen.
The sweet aroma blended perfectly with the taste of the barbecue, and even Zhongli felt his mouth watering.
It seems that Xiangling has gained a lot in Mondstadt.
"Mr. Zhongli, please."
Soon, Xiangling brought the golden and crispy barbecue to the table.
Zhongli first sniffed it with his eyes closed, then couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Yes, one more would be too sweet, and one less would lack the taste. This perfect heat allows the honey and the meat to be perfectly combined, giving people the illusion that the two are one. Chef Xiangling's craftsmanship is truly unique in the world."
"Oh, it's just a very ordinary barbecue. You are too kind to praise it."
Zhongli's praise made Xiangling feel a little embarrassed.
She knew that the perfect performance this time was closely related to the two ingredients she had.
It’s a pity that the sunset fruit has been used up, and I don’t know if I can make similar dishes in the future.
"Then I'll be welcome."
Picking up the teacup and moistening his throat, Zhongli picked up a piece of meat and took a bite.
Just as he expected, the feeling of his taste buds exploding instantly took over all his senses.
But... ...the way it exploded is a little different.
And the first moment he bit it, a person popped up in his mind.
Bai Luo.
"this... ... "
What's going on? Why does it smell like this
"Is there something wrong?"
Xiangling noticed that Zhongli had a strange expression on his face and asked quickly.
“The barbecue is fat but not greasy, crispy but not burnt. It can be said to be perfect, but...”
"only... ... ?"
"It just reminded me of someone."
After hesitating for a while, Zhongli picked up another piece of barbecue and stuffed it into his mouth.
The sour feeling that fills the entire mouth and makes people doubt life.
There is no doubt about it, it is definitely that guy's fruit!
After swallowing the barbecue in his mouth, Zhongli looked at Xiangling who was puzzled and asked, "Master Xiangling, did you add sunset fruit to this barbecue?"
"Wow, you are worthy of being Mr. Zhongli. You even guessed this."
The reason why Xiangling didn't tell Zhongli about the sunset fruit in the honey roasted pork was that she wanted him to guess the ingredients inside after he finished eating it.
After all, he had always been able to describe clearly the seasonings and ingredients in the dishes, even down to the exact amount of ingredients used.
Originally, she wanted to use this sunset fruit to trick Zhongli's taste buds.
"Did you meet someone in Mond?"
"???"
Is this... a bit too much
You can taste that I added sunset fruit, which is already beyond the scope. Now you can also taste that I have met someone
The next question you are going to ask is, was this fruit given to me by a man named Bai Luo
"Was this fruit given to you by a man called Bai Luo?"
"... ..."
Although Xiangling didn't say anything, her words were written on her face.
Zhongli was almost certain that Bai Luo was in Mondstadt right now.
The slightly bitter tea diluted the sour feeling in his mouth, and Zhongli looked very steady.
In fact, Xiangling had already noticed some changes in him.
Some kind of change that is hard to describe.
It’s a pity that he hasn’t given up his position as the God of Rock yet, so he can’t rashly enter that free land.
Otherwise, he would have been unable to resist the urge to fly over.
"Please help me pack it."
After two bites, even Prince Yan could not bear it.
After washing the taste in his mouth with tea again, Zhongli said.
"Pack?"
Zhongli has been eating at Wanmin Hall for so long that he basically eats all at once and then gives his own comments.
But this is the first time I’ve packed something.
