Chapter 170: Your Cooking Genius Is Useless

Xiangling asked, "Really?" That's good... Master must miss the Stove God too, right? I think when you say the god of the hearth, you seem to be talking about a very good friend. ā€

Grandma Ping said abruptly: "Yes, all kinds of things in the past are really nostalgic. ā€

"Keqing, I can't tell you the answer directly, I guess you think so too, because this process is very important to you, right? That's why I followed Xiangling to ask me instead of going directly to her. ā€

Keqing nodded and said, "Yes." ā€

"Your grandfather also studied the god of the hearth, so let you follow these stories yourself, who inherited the puzzles."

"I see, thank you, Jin-kun." Keqing thanked him.

"Grandma Ping actually knows Keqing's grandfather?" Paimon wondered.

Glancing at Paimon, she said, "Isn't that normal?" Madame Ping is an immortal, so it's not surprising to know this, right? ā€

Madame Ping replied with a smile, "Of course, everyone in Liyue is my old friend. At that time, her grandfather was as old as her... Still a young man. ā€

"Their ancestors and grandchildren are really carved out of a mold, they are serious in everything, and they have the courage to practice."

Listening to Grandma Ping's words, Ke Qing shouted with some embarrassment: "Zhenjun."

"Hehe, but now, his granddaughter is even more promising, and she will definitely go further in the future, because we all believe that Xianjun has infinite possibilities for Liyue."

"Well, I think Master is very good, and now that I know some things, I feel that I have the ability to surpass the Emperor." Keqing said with a serious face.

"Wow! Keqing, how can you say that! Ganyu exclaimed.

Grandma Ping smiled and said with relief: "I can understand Keqing having this kind of thought, because being confident as her apprentice is a good thing, but it is not so simple to surpass the emperor, you still have to work hard." ā€

"Does even Grandma Ping think so? That moment Qing was really powerful. Xiangling said excitedly, beyond the emperor, she can't even think of this.

"Hehe, because of Keqing's efforts, all of us immortals see it, even the emperor."

Ke Qing shouted with a complicated face: "True Monarch."

Madame Ping turned her head to look at the golden tree in the sky and sighed, "Liyue is like my most precious bonsai, and I have watched it become more and more beautiful and prosperous. In the blink of an eye, another generation grows up... That's nice. ā€

"With new flowers on the branches, the tree can be evergreen, I think Xianjun thinks so too, right?"

After Madame Ping sighed, she turned her head to everyone and said, "Everyone, your idea of using the stone as a clue to investigate is completely correct. That boulder is the lost statue of the god of the hearth, and the secrets of the god of the stove are all hidden in it. ā€

"I want to see that stone too, please take me over and see it. Maybe you'll find out just by looking at it. ā€

"Go see the boulder? It's good. Keqing nodded.

So everyone walked in the direction of the boulder, and it happened that Ningguang was also here.

Ningguang glanced at Keqing and said, "Keqing, aren't you coming?" ā€

"I just have something, it's not that I can't come." Keqing replied expressionlessly.

"Hehehe, don't be noisy, don't be noisy." Grandma Ping smiled and mediated.

"Zhenjun." Seeing Grandma Ping Ningguang who appeared behind, she hurriedly greeted.

"Forget it, since Zhenjun said it, I don't bother to argue with you, you see, there is a crack in the corner of this stone." Ningguang said, pointing to the boulder.

Everyone looked towards the stone, and sure enough, the stone that had been smooth and intact before had exploded one by one at this time.

"Hey, did someone smash it secretly?" Paimon wondered.

Ningguang replied, "It should be naturally generated." Our knives and guns don't work against it. ā€

Xiangling was also puzzled: "How did it crack?" ā€

Madame Ping looked at the stone full of cracks and said with a smile: "This is because all kinds of folk are the source of the power of the Stove God. The heat of cooking, the joy of reunion... Haha, all of you work hard, I believe it will come out soon. ā€

Paimon pondered, "The god of the stove, the god of the stove, read the book and say that it is the god in charge of eating... Is it because someone is desperately cooking? ā€

Ke Qing touched his chin and analyzed: "The idol will draw on the power of the people... If the god of the stove is in charge of fire and cooking... Could it be that the effort of people when cooking is passed on to the statue of the god of the stove? ā€

"The theme of this year's Moon Festival is the food and mountains and rivers designated by Ningguang. Recently, all the chefs who are planning to participate in the competition have been preparing in earnest... Paimon's conjecture is not impossible. ā€

Xiangling added on the side: "Moreover, during the Moon Festival, many people go home for reunion dinners, and recently it has been very lively everywhere, and when there are many people, the festive atmosphere is even more vigorous." ā€

"Liyue can crack the stone when it is lively, so when it reaches a certain level, the stone will completely explode?"

After hearing Paimon's words, Xiangling said to Grandma Ping, "You can't be wrong!" Right, Master? ā€

Grandma Ping smiled and said, "Hahaha, you might as well give it a try." ā€

"It would be nice if it had something to do with cooking." Ningguang said: "This King Chef Competition will take the method of indoor pre-selection and outdoor finals, and everyone can come to watch the finals on the spot, and the atmosphere must be no problem." ā€

Paimon said excitedly, "We'll be able to see the true face of the Stove God when the finals are over, right?" ā€

"It's a possibility." Ningguang replied.

"I've already signed up for the King of Chef Competition, so I can help you." Xiangling turned to Keqing and said.

"Well, a chef like you will make it to the finals." Keqing nodded.

Paimon sighed, "I heard about the cooking competition. I'm hungry... Whew, I'm looking forward to it. It would be nice if I woke up to the finals! ā€

"Hehe, Paimon you know how to eat, what else do you know besides eating?" Ying complained.

Paimon huffed and replied, "Hey, how can you say that about me?" It's not that there are too many delicious things. ā€

"Traveler, Paimon, tomorrow is the King of Chef Qualifiers, I have to prepare for the King of Chef Championship, let's make a difference in two days." Xiangling said to Ying.

Paimon smiled and replied, "Hehe, it's okay, it's just the right time for us to take a stroll around Liyue, Xiangling must come on." ā€

"Mm-hmm, I'll try."

A few days later.

"Ying, let's go to Aozang Mountain now, calculate the time, and it's time to make an appointment with Liuyun Borrowing Wind Zhenjun." Paimon said to Ying.

How did you know that today was the appointed day? Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun didn't say it was today.

As soon as she thought so, Ying received a text message from Liuyun borrowing the wind Zhenjun.

Ying: "."

After reading Liuyun's message of borrowing the wind, Ying teleported to Mt. Ozo with Paimon with a tangled face, and came to the destination that Liuyun borrowed the wind to say, and Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun was already fiddling with three boiler-like mechanisms here.

"Well, that's fine," Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun to probe while bowing his head.

Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun to turn his head and saw Ying's arrival and said, "Traveler, you came just in time, this immortal has just placed this organ in place. ā€

"What's the use of this mechanism?" Ying wondered.

Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun and replied: "This mechanism is called the Mechanism Cooking Divine Machine, which was designed and placed by Ben Xian himself, and it is infinitely useful. ā€

"Hmph, you're in a hurry. Don't be impatient, wait for the immortal to come to you slowly. ā€

Ying: "??? ā€

Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun to see Ying's doubts, and said slowly: "In order to make this cooking mechanism, this immortal consulted countless ancient books. You know, there are a few of the most important things in cooking. ā€

"It's—, looking for ingredients. When it comes to cooking, ingredients are crucial. In order to collect rare ingredients, countless chefs have worked hard and traveled from place to place..."

"The Immortal's mechanism can solve this problem first."

"Just activate the mechanism, and it will automatically find the most suitable ingredients for cooking in the vicinity, and mark the flavor of the ingredients along the way, so the chef only needs to follow the path."

Speaking of this, Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun raised his head arrogantly, as if he was saying that this organ is powerful, right?

"Can't it take it for itself?" Yingrong replied expressionlessly.

"Ahem, this... The research time of this immortal is still short, and it cannot be solved for the time being... The question of how to automatically find the way of the pot on a rugged mountain road. ā€

Ying complained: "It's not useless, I remember the pot where the tassel cooks, as long as she beckons when cooking, the ingredients will fly into the pot by themselves, and you can only cook automatically, right?" ā€

Liuyun borrowed Feng Zhenjun to change the topic and said: "Don't talk about this, tassels are different from immortals, and they can't be compared with them." ā€

"Liuyun Zhenjun also knows that he is not as good as tassels?" Paimon said suddenly.

Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun: "."

Paimon, if you can talk, you can talk more, and you'll be done if I don't fix it up then.

Thinking of this, Liuyun Zhenjun glanced at Paimon and continued, "Second, it's about cooking. The Immortal has set up countless Karakuri objects in the mechanism, and it will automatically take care of the ingredients just by throwing in the ingredients. ā€

Ying replied flatly, "Oh." ā€

"Why aren't you surprised?" Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun and asked suspiciously.

Ying replied, "This is normal, there are more mechanisms that can cook automatically." ā€

"Is it much? Why haven't I seen it? Paimon scratched his head and wondered.

Ying glanced at Paimon and said, "Don't get in the way. ā€

Paimon: "."

"In addition, combined with the experience of the immortals, the most irritating chores for the chefs during cooking is cleaning the stove."

"Otherwise, after a feast, you have to clean up the leftovers in the pot, which is really a bit of a bad scenery..."

Ying asked, "Does this mechanism sell?" ā€

The ability to clean the stove is good, and you don't need to brush the pot when you go out to cook food in the future.

"Hahaha, I'm afraid you can't afford to buy this mysterious artifact." After listening to Ying's words, Liuyun borrowed the wind and said with satisfaction.

"Besides, this mechanism can only be driven by the immortal power of the Immortal at present, so it is useless for you to buy it back."

Ying looked at Liuyun with a suspicious look and said, "Then what is the difference between you saying this and me using the wind element to brush the pot?" ā€

Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun to listen to Ying's words, and thought to himself: "Use the wind element to brush the pot? This can indeed be tried, and it is much easier than using fairy power. ā€

Wendy: You're tall, you're amazing, your wind element is used to brush pots??

"Gossip, this improved version of the mechanism cooking machine has now been made, and the immortal has studied several delicacies that have never been seen in the world at the same time to test."

"Improved? That means that Liuyun Zhenjun also made a cooking machine before, so what about the previous one? Paimon spotted the blind spot and asked Liuyun Borrowing Wind Zhenjun.

Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun and replied: "Good question, the previous generations of mechanism cooking magic machines, under the test of a purple-haired woman for only a minute, there will be various problems, but there can be no problems with the organs of this immortal, since there is a problem, this immortal will naturally correct it." ā€

"A woman with purple hair? You're talking about shadows, right? Paimon said to Ying.

Ying replied, "Be confident, remove your doubts, because Tassel said that it is impossible for Ying to make a normal meal, so it is reasonable that Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun's mechanism to be damaged. ā€

Paimon couldn't help but complain, "Why can't you cook as a god?" ā€

"Ahem, this immortal doesn't know." Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun and replied: "Ben Xian invited you to come this time, I want you to do Ben Xian a few small favors, collect those ingredients, and cook dishes according to those recipes. ā€

"The first dish, Benxian hereby gives the name: Wenxin Tofu."

"To make this dish, you need to cut the tofu into thin strips... It's a good time to test the knife work of this machine. ā€

"As for the ingredients, tofu, ham, bamboo shoots and poultry are used, Benxian has prepared the ingredients for Ganyu, right here..."

Saying this, Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun to shift her gaze to the ingredients she had prepared just now, and she said in surprise: "Huh? Where did the bamboo shoots go? It was obviously placed here before, could it be that the immortal was too engrossed when he placed the mechanism, and was stolen by something that took advantage of the loophole..."

"Hmph, but let's come on, just to let you see the ability of the Cooking Magic Machine to search for ingredients."

"Cooking machine, Kai."

After Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun to finish speaking, the cooking magic machine in front of him suddenly punched the lid, and a vague guide floated into the distance, presumably it should be the location of the bamboo shoots.

"Traveler, the immortal has activated the mechanism, you follow the breath and go and get the immortal's bamboo shoots back."

"I don't want to go." Ying refused.

Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun and wondered: "Alas? ā€

"I have bamboo shoots here, I'm too lazy to run." Ying replied.

Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun: "."

Ying took out a small pile of bamboo shoots from the backpack under the gaze of Liuyun borrowing the wind Zhenjun, these were all collected next to Qingce Village, the backpack also has a fresh-keeping function, what is it like to put it in, and what will it be like when it is taken out, there is no such thing as going bad.

"That's fine." Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun and coughed lightly and said, "Since the ingredients are ready, then we can start cooking in a while." ā€

"How does this machine have to cook?" Ying wondered.

"This mechanism, this and this, this and this, do you understand?"

Ying: "I feel so troublesome, it's better to do it manually." ā€

"Ahem, even if it's a small favor for Ben Xian." Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun and said with some embarrassment.

"Okay." Ying sighed helplessly, and followed Liuyun to urge the mechanism by borrowing Feng Zhenjun's instructions.

There are three cooking machines, each with different functions, but it takes Ying to master the heat one by one in order to drive them perfectly, so Ying thinks it's just a very troublesome machine.

"Yes, that's it, control the heat of each one and keep it to a certain extent." Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun to explain on the side.

"Traveler, left, left, the one on the left is out of fire." Paimon shouted anxiously.

"Go with the wind!"

In order to save trouble, the wind element swept through the fire element under the cooking machine, forming a fire tornado that swept towards the mechanism on the left.

Rumble!

The cooking machine of the machine exploded under the sweep of the glowing fire tornado.

Paimon: "."

Ying: "."

"Hey, Ben Xian knew it would be like this." Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun and sighed and said.

Then she summoned the fairy power, and the cooking machine was intact again, as if the previous explosion had not happened.

Facing Ying and Paimon's puzzled eyes, Liuyun borrowed Feng Zhenjun and said angrily, "It was all because of that purple-haired woman before, and this immortal had to spend a full amount on the mechanism to ensure that it could be intact after the explosion. ā€

Ying whispered: "Liuyun, I still think that this cooking machine is not good, it's too troublesome, and it is not convenient to control the heat and watch the others." ā€

"Nonsense, Ben Xian's cooking machine is obviously very practical, you only need to control the heat, and the processing of ingredients and automatic cooking are so reliable."

Ying: "."

Your mechanism is really too chicken.,It's the kind of tasteless food.,It's a pity to abandon it.,Those who can use fairy power don't have much of a bonus.,Those who can't use fairy power can't even urge the machine.,Not to mention,I can do a lot of time for you to do this.怂

"Is there a recipe for Wenxin tofu?" Yingkou asked.

"Yes, but what do you want to do?" Although Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun was puzzled, he still handed the recipe to Ying.

"Look at me."

After Ying finished speaking, he took out a pot from his backpack, and then performed a traveler-style cooking technique in front of Liuyun Borrowing Wind Zhenjun.

Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun: "."

Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun and sighed: "Hey, your technique really doesn't need any organs, you can make a dish in less than a minute, this immortal is simply unheard of, maybe it's your specialness." ā€

Paimon wondered, "Liuyun Zhenjun, why are you obsessed with cooking?" ā€

Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun sighed and explained: "I'm not afraid to tell you this, you know on the day of the Lantern Festival, right?" Benxian also made a mechanism, but that mechanism can only simply handle the ingredients and stir-fry some ordinary dishes, such as Wenxin tofu, which tests knife skills. ā€

"Moreover, the taste made by the mechanism at that time was not very ideal, and it can only be said that it has reached the level of being edible, and there is still a big step away from the deliciousness, so this immortal wants to improve it."

Paimon wondered, "But isn't the food made with the mechanism on the day of the Lantern Festival delicious?" Ganyu and Keqing are all rushing to eat, and even the little guys who care so much about Yaoyao have joined the scramble. ā€
