Chapter III Plans
"Hey, here comes the boiled fish~"
Xiangling walked out of the kitchen with two bowls of dipping sauce in her hand, a plate on top of her head, and a little shaky, although she looked like she was playing acrobatics and could have an accident at any time, but in fact it was very stable, and the soup of the boiled fish did not spill at all.
When the boiled fish was put on the table, the fragrance was rich and oppressive to the extreme, and a layer of hot white gas naturally wafted out of the dish made Hu Tao swallow his saliva secretly.
Ignoring the so-called etiquette on the table, Hu Tao picked up the chopsticks on the side of the bowl, and regardless of the boiling soup, he poked the chopsticks into the red soup on the plate, picked up the white and tender fish fillets and sent them to his mouth.
“mumu~”
"Xiangling, the boiled fish you make is delicious, if it weren't for the fact that you were too busy, I would definitely order another shrimp dumpling."
The joy of eating delicious food makes Hu Tao's white and tender calves like a lotus root in the wind swing under the table, like a condensed fat face with a spicy red, and the plum blossom pupils that are different from ordinary people add a touch of charm to Hu Tao at this time.
"Hey, it's so spicy, what are you looking at, hurry, give your rice to the master of the hall to eat."
I don't know if Xiangling changed the Jueyun pepper from another place, and Hu Tao, who was red from the spicy little face, didn't care that the rice had been eaten by Ruoban, so he picked up the bowl and took a big bite in his mouth, and when Ruoban came back to his senses and wanted to stop it, Hu Tao had already begun to chew it, and it took a while for Hu Tao to swallow the rice in his mouth.
"Why is the boiled fish Xiangling made today so spicy, Ah Ban, what did you want to say just now?"
"Ah, it's nothing, I just want to ask if you recruit non-staff personnel in the Death Hall, if you do, you see if I can do it."
In order to prevent Hu Tao from squirting the rice in his mouth, Ruo Ban decisively chose to change the topic, Hu Tao was all about boiling fish, and he didn't see that Ruo Ban was wrong.
"Huh? Supernumeraries? Ah forbidden, you want to go to my afterlife hall to make extra money? ”
Hu Tao took a serious look at Ruo Ban, and seeing that Ruo Ban's face was very calm, not like a joke, Hu Tao muttered in his heart, the sister-brother relationship between Ruo Ban and Ke Qing is well-known in Liyue, and if Ruo Ban has no money in his pocket, Ke Qing will not be able to give Ruo Ban Mora.
Besides, Ruo Ban is not Zhongli's guy who spends money lavishly, logically speaking, Ruo Ban should not be a poor money owner, and now he suddenly mentions this kind of thing, is it because he quarreled with his family and was ready to run away from home?
"What's the matter, can't you?"
"Okay, of course, as far as the relationship between the two of us is concerned, even if Ah Ban wants to be the deputy hall master of the Afterlife Hall."
Although some people don't understand why Ruo Ban suddenly asked her like this, but the employees who sent it to the door, Hu Tao will definitely not refuse, not to mention that it is her Hu Tao's 'good brother' Ruo Ban who wants to join the Afterlife Hall, and Hu Tao is 10,000% welcome.
"Great, Hu Tao, since I'm now a supernumerary member of the Hall of the Dead, you can send me to Mondstadt to investigate."
"Huh? Mondstadt? Mondstadt hasn't been making trouble lately, I've heard that it's quite serious, wait, you want to go to Mondstadt??! ”
Hu Tao, whose IQ is far beyond ordinary people, immediately connected all the things in series, and the conclusion she came to startled herself, good guy, this is to let herself cover for him, he meows, I take you as a brother and you use me to attract firepower?
"Shhh
Ruo Ban covered Hu Tao's mouth and glanced at Hu Tao, and the clever Hu Tao immediately reacted that he couldn't say it so loudly.
Hu Tao nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, if he slowly let go of his hand in a comprehension, after years of getting along, the tacit understanding between the two has long reached the point where he knows what the other party is thinking with a movement or a look.
"Forbidden, if you don't say one, two, three, it will be impossible for the hall master to cover for you, if something happens to Mondstadt, the hall master will definitely die of guilt, and Keqing will definitely find me desperate when the time comes."
Knowing the purpose of Ruoban, Hu Tao is rarely serious, if she helps cover for other things, she must ask this kind of dangerous thing, she doesn't want to see Ruo Ban next time, Ruo Ban is already lying in the coffin, although Hu Tao knows that people are inherently dead, but Hu Tao doesn't want the person lying in the coffin to be Ruo Ban.
"Well, it's not a big deal, it's just that Boss Ruotuo said he wanted to go to Mondstadt and ask the Wind God if he had seen the Rock Emperor."
"There's no danger at all, don't worry, Hu Tao, I didn't wander around all sorts of dangerous places in Liyue before."
Ruo Ban patted his chest and assured Hu Tao, even though this was the idea of the immortal in Ruo Ban's body, Hu Tao was still a little hesitant, Hu Tao was more worried that Ruo Ban would be smothered by Mondstadt's Stormdemon than Ruo Ban had gone to various dangerous places in Liyue in the past.
"That, Ah Ban, don't you know? Mondstadt's dragon is fierce, and he can eat hundreds of them in one meal with a small body like yours, do you really want to go? ”
"Well, this may be the closest I've ever come to the Rock King, and I don't want to give up this opportunity, besides, Boss Ruotuo also needs freedom."
Okay, Ruo Ban said so, as Ruo Ban's good brother, she naturally chose to believe Ruo Ban, only to see Hu Tao slap the chopsticks on the table, and Xiao Pingyuan, who patted her, agreed to this matter.
"No problem, it's on the master of the hall."
"Hu Tao is interesting enough, come and eat fish."
Ruo Ban sandwiched a large piece of fish meat and put it in the walnut bowl, Hu Tao did not eat it politely with Ruo Ban, this boiled fish is her favorite, usually Ruo Ban will deliberately rush to eat it with her, although every time after eating Ruo Ban will be spicy straight to drink water.
"Hmph, there are still hundreds of people, even if Uncle Ben stands and lets that kid from Dvalin fight, he won't be able to break through my defenses."
"Ah, yes, yes, Ruotuo Boss, you are amazing, you are too strong, even the Emperor of the Rock King is not your opponent."
"Yes, forbidden boy, I love to hear what you say, I'll tell you, I used to 。。。。。。。。"
Ruo Ban rolled his eyes and didn't care about the Ruotuo Dragon King who was gushing in his head, as far as Ruotuo Dragon King said, he could memorize these stories, and Ruotuo Dragon King mentioned the beginning to the end.
"Hu Tao, eat and eat, it's cold if you don't eat anymore."
"Ah ban, you guy put cloud pepper pepper in my bowl again!"
"Haha, have you been discovered, it seems that Hu Tao is a smart learner."
After a full meal in Wanmin Hall, on the way back to Kefu, Ruo Ban and Hu Tao discussed the details of the plan, after all, if they were to be helped, both of them might have to be educated by Keqing, during which Hu Tao also enthusiastically arranged a name for Ruo Ban's position, and under Ruo Ban's eyes, the title of 'Customer Recycler of the Mondstadt Division of the Dead Hall' was gloriously buckled on Ruo Ban's head.
"I always think that Xiangling's ability to name is stronger than that of Hu Tao, at least the name Guoba is quite good."
"Oh, don't care about these details, this name is so vivid, how vivid, maybe I can find a customer recycler in every country in the future."
Hu Tao was bouncing on the road, and he was in a wonderful mood, knowing that the previous seventy-six generations of hall masters had exhausted their lives and failed to open the Hall of Afterlife to other countries.
And in just a few years in her Hu Tao's hands, she has already appointed an employee of the Dead Life Hall Mondstadt Division, this is simply a historic moment for the Dead Life Hall, no, I have to go back and let Zhongli record this incident so that her descendants can pay a respect.
Listening to Hu Tao's humming Qiu Qiu ballad, the two soon arrived at the Hall of Death, and in the face of Hu Tao's invitation, Ruo Ban waved the Mora meat in his hand, Hu Tao nodded suddenly and waved his hand to signal Ruo Ban to hurry up.
"When you're away, leave those two little ones to the hall master."
"Then it's troublesome."
"Qu~ What are you polite to the master of the hall, I was educated by Keqing yesterday?"
"Harm, tell the truth."
In Liyue Commercial Street, two children were looking down on a staircase at the intersection when they saw Ruoban's figure appear at the intersection, and the two children shouted at Ruoban's brother and immediately rushed to Ruoban's side.
Ruo Ban touched the little heads of the siblings, the two poor children still did not want to believe that their mother had left this world, and would rather starve here than go to the orphanage built by Ning Guang.
"One string, one pillar, this is the Mora meat for you, eat it while it's hot."
"Thank you, Brother Ruoban" x2
Looking at the two gobbling little guys in front of him, Ruo couldn't help but sigh, and he didn't know when the two children would be able to accept the cruel truth, remembering that when he saw these two little guys for the first time, the hungry intestines of the two brothers and sisters were about to be knotted.
"Eat slowly, eat slowly, I'll go out for a long time in the next while, the walnut sister who brought you candy these days will bring you food, don't run around when it's time to eat."
