Chongyun was puzzled: "What we are talking about are all personal preferences, and they are different, such mixed opinions... Can it really help?"

"Absolutely. You are all my diners, and bringing smiles to your faces is the chef's calling! Xiangling replied with a smile.

Xingqiu said: "Xiangling often goes off the beaten track when it comes to developing dishes, but her mind has never changed. ”

Paimon smiled and said, "The chef who can make good food must be someone like her who is very pure and cares about the diners." ”

"No, there are gods." Ying, who was sitting on the side, said suddenly.

"Yes, too." Paimon scratched his head, and there was no reason to refute Ying's answer, because the gods made something delicious.

Xiangling asked excitedly, "Wow, have the Traveler and Paimon ever eaten the food made by the gods themselves?" ”

"Of course I've eaten this." Paimon said proudly.

"I'm so envious, I don't know if I'll be able to eat the food made by the gods in my lifetime." Xingqiu said wistfully, "Even if it's a strange dish, I'll eat it, because it's made by the gods." ”

Paimon: "."

Ying: "."

Xingqiu looked at Ying and Paimon, who were looking at him with a strange face, scratched his head and said, "Traveler, Paimon, why are you looking at me like this, is there something wrong with what I said?" ”

"No, no, I hope you're serious." Paimon said with a tangled face.

Because the taste of the food made by the gods is indeed okay, but she can't guarantee that ordinary people have any problems eating it, and the most representative is the food made by the shadow, although the tassel gives a high rating, saying that the food made by the shadow is delicious, but she doesn't dare to eat in the face of the thunderous cuisine.

"Of course it's serious, if you eat it once, then you will have no regrets in this life. It's a pity, it's a pity. Saying this, Xingqiu shook his head with a regretful face.

"Alright, Keqing, where are we going next?" Paimon asked.

Ke Qing touched his chin and proposed, "I just said that the god of the stove once appeared in Guiliji, and Guiliji is now a wilderness with few people. ”

"There is a Wangshu inn nearby, you can go over there and inquire."

Xingqiu opened his mouth and said: "Everyone, I will not send it far, and I wish you all the best." ”

"Come on! If you have a problem, you can come back to us for help! ”

"Then let's go, don't play, it's time to go." Paimon said to Ying, who was playing with the pot next to him.

"Got it, got it, Guoba, let's play in another place." Ying said.

Guoba nodded happily: "Lu! ”

This time, Ying was about to win, but the other party still put away the chessboard, and he was very happy with Ying's approach.

"Guoba, why are you like this? Otherwise, you'll follow the traveler in the future. Xiangling said angrily to the pot.

"Yes, you can. I'll trade Paimon for you! Ying said with a serious face.

Xiangling: "."

I'm just going to say it casually, you don't have to be that serious.

Guoba showed a frightened expression: "Lu! ”

Paimon also shouted at Ying angrily, "Hey! He said that he was the best partner, so you changed me for a pot? So angry! ”

"Think about it, if you follow Xiangling, you will have endless delicious food every day." Ying said to Paimon bewilderedly.

Paimon nodded thoughtfully and said, "It seems to be the same." ”

Paimon immediately thought of something and said angrily, "No, it's not right, right?" Ying, don't you want to bewitch me! ”

Although the food is delicious, she still wants to witness the sea of stars with Ying, how can she fall in front of the food? Not to mention Ying, even she looks down on herself.

Ying listened to Paimon's words with a smile in her eyes, but said on her lips, "Hey, the pot can still breathe fire, Paimon you know how to eat, it doesn't do anything." ”

"Don't say I'm useless, I'm your guide." Paimon said to Ying with some embarrassment.

She can tell that Ying is joking, and when they talk, Ying can't say a word, and can only play with the pot, which makes Paimon feel a little guilty.

"Traveler, Paimon is also very good, but I won't trade it for you." Xiangling hurriedly said.

"Lululu." Guoba also walked behind Xiangling at this time, looking at Ying a little nervously.

Ying: "."

"Let's go, the next stop, Wangshu Inn." Paimon spoke.

"Wait." Xingqiu suddenly stopped everyone who was about to leave.

"What's wrong?" Paimon wondered.

"Well, please don't tell Zhenjun about the previous thing." Xingqiu scratched his head and said.

Paimon was relieved, "It's okay, Liuyun Borrowing Wind True Monarch won't care about this." ”

"Really? Then I'm relieved. Xingqiu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, how can the immortals care about me?" ”

Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun: Don't mind? It's strange, don't be caught by me, otherwise you will have good fruit to eat.

With a flicker of light, everyone came to the upper floor of the Wangshu Inn.

"Where are we going now?" Keqing asked.

Paimon suggested, "Let's go find Yanxiao first, shall we?" He's been at the Wangshu Inn for so long, he must know something. ”

Keqing listened to Paimon's words and said, "It's okay." ”

Everyone walked into the kitchen of Wangshu Inn and found the cook smiling.

"Oh? You're here, who are you? Yanxiao asked in surprise when she saw Ying and Paimon.

Paimon replied, "It's our friends, Xiangling, Guoba, and Keqing and Ganyu. ”

Hearing Paimon's words, Yan Xiao said with a shocked face, "Keqing?!" And Ganyu?! The one of the Seven Stars of Liyue"

"Hello." Ganyu said with a smile.

"Don't be nervous, smile." Paimon spoke.

"No, no, a little citizen like me... It's the first time I've seen a big guy like Yu Hengxing and Secretary Seven Stars. ”

While everyone was talking, Xiangling was also looking at Yan Xiao, and under her observation, she felt that the other party was a good cook.

Yanxiao asked nervously: "A few people came from afar to look at the Shu Inn, do you need anything?" ”

"Here's the thing." Ke Qing smiled at Yan and explained that he was looking for clues related to the Stove God

"I see." He smiled and said.

Keqing analyzed: "It is rumored that the god of the stove once appeared in the Guili Collection. Wangshu Inn is the oldest intact building in the area, and if there are ancient books nearby, most of them will be sent here. ”

"Excuse me, does this inn have a library? Is there anything about the god of the stove in it? ”

Yan Xiao replied, "Hey, speaking of which, we have a lot of old books in our store, and I'm still looking through the recipes in them... I just have to think about where to put it. ”

"By the way, Traveler, are you okay now? I want you to do me a favor. Yan Xiao said suddenly.

"What's the matter? Won't ask for money, right? Paimon wondered.

"Of course not, I dare to ask for your money, I need you to make me a satisfying salad." Yan Xiao replied.

Paimon suddenly thought of something and said, "Meet the salad?" Could it be? ”

Yan Xiao explained: "You know there is a person on the roof of the inn, right? It's just that handsome, not too tall guy..."

"You keep quiet, and you're not afraid of being heard by him!" Paimon hurriedly said.

Xiao: "."

As soon as he sensed a familiar aura here, he rushed over, only to hear Yan Xiao talking about him.

"Disrespectful to the Immortal Master!" Xiao snorted, but didn't show up.

"Oh, oh! Anyway, you know who it is. Yan Xiao nodded.

"The boss asked me to take care of him more, but he was hard to serve every day. Except for almond tofu, there is no other hobby. ”

"I heard from the boss that you made him a satisfying salad, and he liked it. You see... Can you teach me how to make this dish? I'll make it for him. ”

Paimon was surprised, "I'm actually going to make it for Xiao!" You're not bad to him. ”

Hearing Yan Xiao's words, Xiao nodded upstairs, although this cook's mouth was a little poisonous, but the dishes he cooked were still good, so he would be reluctantly forgiven.

Yan Xiao explained: "In life, can it be bad for those who look up and don't look down? ”

Xiao: "."

He decided to retract his previous thoughts, this cook is disrespectful to the immortal master, what does it mean to look up and not look down? Are you polite?

"Then I'll leave it to you to find the book." Paimon spoke.

"Then I'll come when I go, wait for me!" After laughing, he left.

Paimon beckoned, "Go, get back!" ”

"You're sorry, traveler." Keqing said to Ying.

Ying replied, "It's okay, who is with whom." ”

"Demon Slayer, are you here?" Ganyu said suddenly.

Hearing Ganyu's words, Xiao's figure appeared in front of everyone, and he said lightly: "What are you looking for me?" ”

"Wow, Xiao, are you there? How long have you been listening here? Paimon exclaimed.

Xiao replied expressionlessly, "I arrived when you first came. ”

"That, that smile is not intentional, don't take it to heart." Paimon hurriedly reassured.

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Xiao replied.

"Demon Slayer, why don't you go to Liyue Harbor? Liyue Harbor is a good place for immortals to live now, right? Ganyu asked curiously.

Xiao replied, "Liyue Harbor isn't quite for me, but I'll go there when I have time, and I prefer to stay at the Wangshu Inn instead. ”

Because he spent some time in Liyue Harbor, he ended up meeting Zhongli every time he didn't bring money, and Xiao had to help Zhongli pay his bills every time, and sometimes he could meet immortals who also didn't bring money, and Ruotuo, who was now hanging out with Zhongli every day.

Xiao suspected that if he stayed in Liyue Harbor any longer, his image as an emperor would collapse, and the tall image of the emperor in his mind would already be a little skewed.

"I see, wait a minute, the salad will be ready soon." Paimon said.

"Well, let's send it to the old place when it's ready, the cook is coming." After Xiao finished speaking, his figure disappeared in a flash.

"I'm back, here's the scroll you wanted." Yan Xiao walked in front of everyone, handed the ancient scroll in his hand to Ke Qing and said.

"Thank you." Keqing said.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's good if I can help." Yan Xiao scratched his head and said.

"Take advantage of the time to read a book, Ying, let's go make a satisfying salad, Xiangling, what are you going to do?"

"Ganyu, Keqing, then I'll go too." Xiangling looked at Ganyu.

"Uh-huh, go ahead." Ganyu replied with a smile.

"Shall we go, then?" Paimon said.

"You do it, I'll just watch from the sidelines! You'll probably remember it once you read it. Yan Xiao said.

"Hmm." Paimon listened to Yanxiao's words, but didn't know what to say.

"Traveler, you're done?" Xiangling looked at the satisfying salad that appeared in front of her with a confused expression.

Yan Xiao also stared at Ying with wide eyes and said incredulously: "This is too fast?" How did you do that? ”

From fresh and unprocessed ingredients to a dish, it took less than a minute in Ying's hands.

And the satisfying salad in front of you, whether it is the color or the fragrance, is first-class, Xiangling and Yanxiao are both cooks, and you can know that the satisfying salad in front of you is delicious by observation.

"Without him, only the hand is familiar." Ying said with her head tilted.

This is a skill that she has developed after making twenty plates of satisfying salads seriously.

Xiangling exclaimed: "Traveler, no matter how familiar you are, you won't be like you?" What did I just see? After a remnant, your dish is ready? I can't even see it! ”

"Me too, you did it so fast, I don't remember anything." Yanxiao said a little embarrassed.

He was ashamed of his big words, he mainly didn't know that Ying did this cooking, if he knew, he would definitely not say it, how could a normal chef have Ying do this kind of cooking?

"Ying, then you better copy a recipe for them, I'll say that no one can learn your way of cooking." Paimon suggested from the side.

Xiangling chimed in, "Mmmm, Paimon is right. ”

"Thank you then." Yan Xiao said.

So, Ying copied two recipes for Yanxiao and Xiangling.

Keqing and Ganyu walked up and saw the satisfied salad that had been prepared on the table and said, "The dish is done?" It just so happened that we had finished reading it here. ”

"Ahem." Yan Xiao took the recipe in his hand and coughed a little embarrassed twice and said, "How is it?" Is there any useful information for this book? ”

"Yes, and the account of the god of the stove is surprising." Keqing replied.

The book reads: [Two hundred miles to the northwest, return to the place of the set. There are many settlements on it, and the people hunt and plant, farming and weaving for a living. 】”

"[The god of the stove is temporary, and its form is many, as high as a child. If the stars fall to the ground, they will scatter into thousands of households to help them make fires. The people have this fire, know hot food, eat soup and rice, and cook meat. 】”

"It's completely different from what is written in Liyue's Mythology, and it's in conflict with each other."

Listening to Keqing's words, Paimon scratched his head and asked, "What does it mean to turn one into many, there is more than one Stove God?" ”

Keqing replied, "That's the literal meaning, that's right. ”

"[Scatter into 10,000 households to help them make a fire]... Does the god of the stove really help with the cooking? Xiangling wondered.

Yan Xiao nodded and said, "What a god close to the people." ”

Paimon analyzed, "In this way, if this account is correct, it can rule out the possibility that the Stove God is the Emperor of the Rock King." ”

"It's too early to do this, we need to do more research and then make a conclusion."

After Ke Qing finished speaking, she thanked Yan Xiao: "Thank you, Yan Xiao." ”

"Where, you're polite, but the traveler has helped me a lot." Yan Xiao grabbed the recipe in his hand and said embarrassedly.

"I usually bother you, but I happen to be free today, and I want to invite you to eat something delicious. Look, can you stay for a light meal? So I can do my best. ”

After listening to Yan Xiao's words, Xiangling opened her mouth and said, "Wow, this person is very confident!" I like confident chefs who make good things. ”

"I'd like to try his cooking, Traveler, let's try it!"

"Keqing, where is Ganyu?" Ying asked.

"It's hard to be gracious. That's fine. Keqing said with a smile.

Ganyu whispered: "Then, then it's troublesome, I, I don't eat meat dishes." ”

"Got it, I'll make a few more vegetarian dishes, and I don't want any meat at all, right?" Yanxiao asked.

"Yes, not even oil." Ganyu replied.

Ke Qing smiled at Yan and said, "Then it's troublesome." ”

"Haha, don't worry, I promise to satisfy you." Yan Xiao said with a smile.

"Before that, let's give Xiao the satisfying salad, shall we?" Paimon suggested.

"Well, before that, let's make him another plate of almond tofu." Ying finished speaking, and then made a plate of delicious almond tofu in less than a minute under the shocked expressions of Keqing and Ganyu.

"Traveler, you, how awesome are you? Is this some kind of immortal law? Keqing asked in surprise.

"No, it's Ying's original ability." Paimon replied.

Xiangling sighed and said, "Traveler, it's a pity that you are not a cook like this. ”

Ying tilted her head and replied, "How can you be a chef and a traveler?" I'm going to travel the world. ”

Keqing agreed with Ying's words very much, and said with a smile: "Haha, I also agree with the traveler's words, what is traveling is amazing, after this moon festival, Ganyu and I are going to go to Inazuma to have a look." ”

"Huh? Keqing, are you going to leave too? But aren't you the Seven Stars of Liyue? Xiangling wondered.

"It's not like the Seven Stars of Liyue can only be in Liyue, and it's easy to come back now, so of course you have to go outside."

"I see."

The crowd brought almond tofu and satisfying salad to Xiao,

"Xiao, do you want to eat with us?" Paimon asked, looking at Xiao who was slowly tasting almond tofu.

Xiao replied, "No, I'll be alone, you can go down and eat." ”

"Then let's go, what is there to contact us, the current travelers are also very strong." Paimon said again.

Xiao didn't refuse this time: "Hmm." ”

After greeting Xiao, everyone went downstairs to sit in the guest seats, waiting for the dishes to be laughed at.

"Come on, the dishes are all ready, try it, it's delicious." Yan Xiao smiled humbly and said: "I was very confident in my cooking skills before, but after seeing the traveler, I realized that there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky. ”

"Hehe, Yingke can't be looked at by ordinary people, she can do a lot of things that ordinary people can't do, so don't care, Yanxiao, the dishes you make are already very delicious." Paimon smiled and relieved.

"I also know that it is impossible to reach the level of a traveler because the manpower will eventually be limited, but I just need to do my best."

"Smelling the aroma, he would be a good opponent for my attitude towards food." Xiangling looked at Yan Xiao, who was scratching her head and showing a simple smile, and thought silently.

As for Ying, she also has the same idea as Yanxiao, Ying's cooking skills are not comparable to people at all, so she can't compare directly.

"Mmmm, it's so fragrant, it's too fragrant, let's eat it." Paimon smiled and urged, as long as it was food, she liked it.

"I really can't imagine that an inn that doesn't sell food is so good at cooking." Keqing also said in surprise.

Yan Xiao explained with a smile: "Whether it's staying in a hotel or playing sharp, who doesn't want to have a good meal!" The shop we opened is nominally an inn, but in fact, everything must be there to make people feel at home. ”

"Everyone, please use it slowly, then I'll get busy first."

Looking at the back of Yanxiao preparing to leave, Xiangling hurriedly stood up and asked, "Yanxiao, are you also participating in the Chef King Competition this year?" ”

When Yanxiao heard Xiangling's words, the departing figure stopped, and asked Xiangling in surprise, "Could it be you?" ”

Xiangling nodded and said, "Yes, I will participate, and I will work hard to reach the finals!" Yanxiao, your cooking is delicious, and I'm really looking forward to meeting you in the finals. ”

"However, if the travelers participated, we wouldn't have made it to the finals." Yan Xiao replied.

Paimon hurriedly spoke, "If Ying doesn't participate, don't worry." ”

"That's good, I'm looking forward to meeting you in the final." After laughing, he really left.

"Wow, was that a declaration of war just now?" Paimon exclaimed.

"Well, it's more like a chess opponent, in the craftsmanship of ordinary people, Xiangling and Yanxiao are the top." Keqing explained.

Xiangling said excitedly: "Hmm! He's really a good cook, he cooks delicious food and the people he shows in his dishes are down-to-earth... Such a person would be a good opponent! ”

"I haven't had much of a fight with Miss Bullock since I faced off against Miss Bullock in Springs Town."

"Actually, you can find me." Ying touched her chin and said.

"No, no, I can't even understand your cooking." Xiangling hurriedly refused.

"Wow, what are you doing?!" Xiangling suddenly shouted.

"Lou!" Guoba was startled by Xiangling's sudden shout, and a bewildered expression appeared on his face.

Ke Qing looked at the empty plate that was originally filled with golden shrimp balls, and said with an uncomfortable face: "Ah! He, he eats."

"How did you steal Keqing's favorite dish!"

Keqing screamed uncomfortably: "Woo my golden shrimp ball"

"Pot, bad!" Xiangling said angrily to the pot.

Guoba: "? ”

Xiangling sighed and said, "And there is nothing left to eat... Alas, didn't I tell you you you you can't do that outside? ”

"I'm sorry, Keqing, I'll compensate you!"

Paimon said, "It's okay, right?" It's good to order another one, and I'll eat and laugh today. ”

"It's different, it's different! If you don't get the dish you want to eat at the moment, even if you change it to something else, you can't make up for that emotion. ”

Xiangling explained to everyone: "Food is a three-in-one thing of emotion, food and atmosphere, which is indispensable!" ”

"Keqing, are you okay?" Ganyu looked at Keqing, who was in a depressed mood, and asked while holding Keqing's hand.

Although Keqing thought that what Xiangling said was right, she still replied, "No, it's okay, Paimon is right, just order another one." ”

Ganyu: "."
