"Ah Ban, do your ears still hurt?"

As Xiangling brought the last symbolic Quartet to the table, the sixteen dishes were also served tonight, and after the meal was served, Hu Tao, who was Xiangling's assistant, came out of the kitchen and saw Ruo Ban rubbing his ears while gasping, Hu Tao also came to Ruo Ban's side and sat down to relate to Ruo Ban's ears.

"Hmph, Hu Tao, you don't have to worry about him, I didn't use much strength."

Glaring at Ruo Ban, Ke Qing was a little angry, she wanted to be Ruo Ban's wife, you meow a little and want to be an immortal who is a generation higher than her, right, if it weren't for the fact that there are a lot of people in Wanmin Hall Ke Qing wants to save some face for Ruo Ban, Ke Qing has to let Ruo Ban know what is called the majesty of her sister today.

"Alright, let's eat."

As Xiangling moved out a jar of good wine and a large bucket of juice from the house, this banquet officially began, because everyone hadn't seen each other for a long time, everyone had something to say about what happened during this period, and the atmosphere of the whole banquet was also very lively.

Somehow, when everyone was chatting, the topic inadvertently came to the cooking competition a few days later, speaking of the cooking competition, Hu Tao suddenly seemed to think of something, and his eyes looked at Keqing who was listening to Ying's talk about the current situation in Sumeru.

"Keqing, do you know the rules of this cooking competition? Tell me about it~"

Because she only came back from Sumeru today, Hu Tao didn't know the rules of this cooking competition at all, and Xiangling was busy with her feet on the ground these days, and she didn't understand the rules of the cooking competition after she finished registering, so she took this opportunity Hu Tao smiled and asked Keqing about the rules of the cooking competition.

"The rules and procedures of this year's Culinary Contest are actually the same as usual, except that after our Liyue winner is decided, the winner will have an exchange match with Mondstadt, Inazuma, and Sumeru contestants."

Ke Qing thought about the plan that Ningguang had shown her, and at that time, because the staff of the General Affairs Department had some disagreements about the handling plan for the players sent by the three countries for exchange, the General Affairs Department was unable to come up with a plan.

Seven stars also held a special meeting to discuss it, and finally thought of this embarrassing scene that can not only bring the relationship between countries closer, but also not because these three players will be eliminated in the competition.

She didn't have a problem with the moment, after all, she could see that the exchange of cooking skills was just an excuse, and more importantly, it was a pretext to bring Liyue closer to the Three Kingdoms under the guise of exchanging cooking skills.

"Oh oh, that's how it goes, then Xiangling must be the one who exchanged cooking skills with Nilou."

After understanding the process of Keqing, Hu Tao gave Xiangling a thumbs up with great confidence, because she had also been to these three countries, and there was one thing to say, Hu Tao really didn't think that the meal carefully prepared by Xiangling tonight was delicious.

Seeing that Hu Tao is so confident in her, Xiangling is also full of confidence, although there are many people who sign up this time, but Xiangling still has confidence in herself, after all, this time Ruoban will also go to watch her game, thinking that Ruoban will cheer her on outside the field, Xiangling feels full of fighting spirit.

"It's good if you have confidence, but as far as I know, the one sent by Inazuma to participate in the competition is a girl with a lot of certificates, and her assistant is the eldest lady of the Kamisato family, Xiangling, you still have to take it seriously."

Thinking of the green-haired girl who followed Yanfei a few days ago, Keqing couldn't believe that girl had actually obtained the Inazuma Senior Chef Qualification Certificate, if she hadn't known that the certificate was issued by the Inazuma Shogunate, Keqing would have wanted to talk to the Yae Miyaji who led the team to Liyue if this Miyaji had been deceived.

"By the way, sister, have you found all the judges for this competition?"

Listening to the people at the table chatting about the cooking competition, I suddenly remembered that I had promised Mona to help Mona ask the judges about it, and Ruo Ban also asked Qi Qi Qing if he had found all the judges, if not, Ruo Ban recommended Mona to Ke Qing.

Hearing Ruo Ban ask this question, Keqing slammed the chopsticks on the golden shrimp ball, and then shook his head with a look of embarrassment, since the last time the Fatui held a cooking contest at the Wangshu Inn, one of the contestants forcibly fed the judges' unwashed large intestines in Liyue Harbor.

Some of the most prestigious chefs in Liyue Harbor didn't want to be judges for the competition, and even though Keqing promised to be strict about the ingredients, they didn't agree

"Didn't you find it? Sister Keqing, what do you think of Mona, I think Mona is pretty good. ”

Seeing Keqing shaking his head, Ruo Ban immediately recommended Mona to Ke Qing, although Mona is not a professional chef, but a judge Ruo Ban believes that Mona, who is an astrologer, can still be easily competent.

"Mona? Yes, but would you like to be a judge? Because the number of participants this time is relatively large, the competition will be held for many days, so this time when I am a judge, the remuneration is 200,000 Mora, if you are too small, I can apply for more. ”

Ke Qing glanced at Mona next to her and also felt that Mona was a good choice, but in order to prevent Mona from having any opinions on the judge's job in the future and affecting the relationship between her and Mona, Ke Qing also told Mona about the shortcomings of this competition.

And hearing Keqing's words, Mona was almost lost in this sudden pie, and without waiting for Keqing to finish the judges' work, Mona, who was sitting next to Keqing, directly held Keqing's hand, and said with a pair of eyes revealing poverty that were extremely firm.

"I'd like to be a judge."

Ke Qing, who didn't know much about Mona's condition, was taken aback by Mona's excited behavior, but after hearing that Mona was willing to be a judge, Ke Qing also nodded and agreed, and could sense Mona's joy, so Ke Qing asked again.

"Do you still want to be a judge? There are still many vacancies for the judges of the cooking competition, if you want to be a judge, you can tell me, I believe that all of you here have excellent food tasting skills. ”

Hearing Keqing say that she was going to recruit judges, Paimon was immediately moved, and after swallowing the meat in her mouth, Paimon also said to Ying, who was competing with a piece of Jueyun pepper next to her.

"Ying, why don't we go too, being a judge can not only eat delicious food, but also take Mora, which is much easier than our hard work to make commissions."

Ying thought about it and felt that what Paimon said made a lot of sense, instead of doing the commission in the wind and sun outside, then she might as well be a judge of the cooking competition, not only can she have free food to eat, but also Mora can take it, and most importantly, she won't be tired, this is simply the job in her mind, so after Paimon finished speaking, Ying also said immediately.

"Keqing, I, I'm going to be a judge too."

"Traveler, yes."

Seeing that Ying also wanted to be a judge, Ke Qing also nodded and agreed, because the judges have not recruited enough people, and Ke Qing doesn't expect to find a professional chef to be a judge now, so Ying wants to be a judge in Keqing's opinion, there is no problem, she just needs to give the list to Ningguang, who is in charge of the cooking competition, to take a look.

Thinking that there were still a few people left for the judges, Ke Qing set his eyes on a walnut on the left and a Xiangling on the right, and noticed the gaze of his sister, and remembered that the various dishes made by the contestants in the previous cooking competition were tasted by the judges, Ruo Ban shook his head firmly, he would rather eat the slime dishes made by Xiangling than go to the cooking competition to taste those strange dishes.

After all, Ruo Ban is really unbearable for various dishes such as cream-filled dumplings dipped in salt and glutinous rice dumplings dipped in sugar, and in his opinion, this strange dish is simply a heresy in cooking, and in ancient times in other countries, the chef who made this heretical dish might be tied to a shelf and burned to death.

In order to dispel the idea of forcibly pulling him to the judge's seat to be a judge, Ruo Ban, whose brain was running rapidly, also waved the book that Shenhe had just sent in his hand, signaling that he would study hard in the past few days and had no time to be a judge.

After seeing the book in Ruoban's hand, he understood what Ruo Ban wanted to express, and Ke Qing could only dispel the idea of forcibly pulling Ruo Ban to be a judge, after all, the book that the immortals gave to Ruo Ban, if it was not good-looking, it would be bad if the immortals blamed it.

In order to prevent Ruo Ban from being punished by the immortals, Ke Qing also did not set his eyes on Ruo Ban anymore, and noticed that his sister did not look at him again, and the relieved Ruo Ban secretly rejoiced in his heart, it seems that he has escaped.

Although Ruo Ban here escaped, but there were other people present, Ke Qing looked at Hu Tao who did not express his position after taking his eyes away from Ruo Ban, Xiangling and Zhongli, because Xiangling was going to participate in a cooking competition and Hu Tao was going to be Xiangling's assistant, Ke Qing finally shifted his target to Zhongli who was drinking tea.

Zhongli, this person is not only knowledgeable, but also has a certain study of food, she heard Zhongli giving advice to Xiangling's new dishes when she was eating in Wanmin Hall before, so it is only appropriate to let Zhong Li be a judge, recalling the scene she saw before, Keqing also hopes that Zhongli can be a judge.

"In terms of general rationality, I don't have much interest in the work of the judges."

As a god who has lived for thousands of years, the moment Keqing set his eyes on Zhongli, Zhongli discovered Keqing, and Zhongli, who was not interested in this kind of thing, directly refused before Keqing opened his mouth to invite him.

"Ahem, Zhongli, it's not the hall master who said you, anyway, you either listen to music or drink tea in Liyue Harbor, and now that Keqing has asked you for help, isn't it better for you to support Keqing's work, it's more meaningful than you wandering around Liyue Harbor all day, besides, there are really not many Mora on our books in the Hall of the Dead, you know what the hall master means, right?"

Due to the fact that there are a lot of branches of the Afterlife Hall that have been opened recently, and the liquidity on the books of the Afterlife Hall is not very sufficient, in order to prevent Zhongli from buying and buying the main hall of the Afterlife Hall during her time as Xiangling's assistant, Hu Tao felt that it was necessary to find something to do for Zhongli, so after Zhongli refused, Hu Tao directly glared at Zhongli with her plum blossom pupils.

Hearing Hu Tao say this, Zhongli had no choice but to nod his head and agree, after all, since Childe left Liyue Harbor, his bills had been hung on the accounts of the Afterlife Hall, and if the Afterlife Hall was bankrupt at this time, then he would not even have a place to hang the accounts.

Well, it just so happened that he was still quite interested in the development of Liyue's cuisine over the years, so it was better to take this opportunity to see if there was any cuisine that could make his eyes shine, and after thinking about it for a while, Zhongli also nodded to Keqing and signaled that he could be a judge.

And Ke Qing was also slightly relieved after seeing Zhong Li nodding, she had found three judges, so she herself shouldn't have to be a judge, thinking of this, Ke Qing was also a little happy.

Of course, it's not that Keqing doesn't want to be a judge, it's just that if she is a judge, she will have to sit in the arena for a morning or an afternoon, and Keqing doesn't want to waste her time here, she needs to devote her limited life to the infinite construction of Liyue Harbor.
