Under the gaze of the tassel, Gechenlang City Zhenjun could only walk up hard, and when facing Zhongli, she was a little afraid to look at Zhongli's eyes.

Zhongli: "."

Looking at the dodging eyes of the true monarch of Gechenlang City, Zhongli knew that she had rebelled, just like Liuyun borrowing the wind from the true monarch.

He realized that although Tassel did not follow the faith of the people of Liyue, almost all the other immortals had been fooled by her, and even the Dragon King of Ruoda, who had fought with him, had rebelled.

"Alright, let's vote by show of hands." Tassel spoke.

Under the eyes of the tassels, Ruotuo Dragon King, Gechenlang City Zhenjun raised his hand helplessly, and Ying raised his hand again with an excited face.

Tassel said: "Look, three to two, this thing passes." ”

Zhongli: "."

"Keqing." Tassel suddenly shouted.

"Master, what's wrong?" Keqing, who was directing the layout of the venue, hurriedly trotted over and asked.

Tassel spoke: "Just now, all the immortal families, including Zhongli, have agreed to a plan, that is, to build a god statue for the Rock King Emperor. ”

"Huh?" Ke Qing looked at the tassel with a confused expression, and didn't react for a while.

"Build a statue, you know, it's the kind of Mondstadt Wind Statue, it has the characteristics of the Rock King, and as Liyue is the capital of trade, the statue we build can't be made of ordinary stone."

Keqing asked dizzily, "Then, what is that used for?" ”

Tassel said with a matter: "Of course, it is to use Mora, and use Mora to cast a rock god statue that is bigger than the statue of the wind god, in order to commemorate the great achievements of the rock king." ”

"This, this statue of a god can't be made tens of billions of Mora?" Keqing exclaimed.

"I'll give 10 billion, anyway, my Mora should still be there, you just go to Ganyu." Tassel replied.

Ke Qing touched his chin and thought: "In this case, I will contact the other Seven Stars, it should be enough for one person to take a copy, and the matter of building the Emperor God Statue is a big deal, they should not refuse." ”

Tassel said to Keqing with a tiger face: "Then this matter will be handed over to you, it must be solid, and you can't cut corners, you know?" ”

"I'm sure I'll personally supervise this, and I won't let the idol have half a point difference, after all, it's about our Liyue cards." Keqing replied seriously.

Zhongli: "."

Unexpectedly, this Yu Hengxing, who is verbally anti-emperor, is the most prone to rebellion, so what did you say before that Liyue doesn't need the emperor's protection? Now the matter of building a statue of the god is the most serious.

Also, can you master and apprentice consider my opinion and use tens of billions of Mora to build a statue of a god for me, do you really dare to think that if Mora can't spend so much, wouldn't it be good to spend it directly on me?

Seeing Ke Qing cooperate with him so much, Tassel was very happy, the apprentice he accepted was really right, and the backstabbing Zhongli was first-class.

Thinking of this, Tassel stretched out his hand and touched Keqing's cat head and said with a smile: "That's hard, after the King of Chef Competition, please eat golden shrimp balls." ”

"Really, really? Thank You, Master! Keqing said happily.

Tassel replied with a smile, "Of course it's true." ”

"Uh-huh, then I'll go and discuss with Ningguang first, and I'll see you later, master." After Keqing finished speaking, she left here with happiness and excitement.

"Zhongli, why didn't you refute just now?" Tassel asked, looking at Zhongli with a frowning brow.

"I don't think there's any point in rebutting." Zhongli replied lightly.

"Makes sense, but which posture do you want to take? Standing, lying, sitting, or tummy? Tassel asked after a moment's thought.

Zhongli: "."

Zhongli rubbed his sore head and replied, "Stand." ”

Since the wood has been completed, but there are still options for the decoration of the boat, Zhongli still decided to prepare a decent posture, if he did it for the tassel, his image would completely collapse, what Zhongli didn't know was that his image had begun to gradually collapse in front of the immortals.

"Ah Ping, do you have any other ideas?" Tassel asked Gechenlang City Zhenjun who was fluttering next to him.

"Huh? Yes? No, I didn't! Gechenlang City Zhenjun hurriedly refused, and she almost revealed her true voice when she was asked so suddenly by the tassel.

"What about Ruoda?" Tassel continued to ask.

Touching his chin, he replied, "If you can, let's build a smaller statue of the Dragon King next to it." ”

"I'm afraid not right now, because you were sealed away as a dangerous person who endangered Liyue, so you'll have to plan it slowly." Tassel thought for a moment and replied.

The Dragon King spread his hands and said, "Then I don't have any suggestions." ”

"Master, Master, the Chef King Contest is about to start, please hurry up and take your seats." Keqing hurriedly ran over at this time and said to Tassel and the others.

"Mr. Zhongli, Mr. Ruotuo, and this bard, come with me." Go on.

Zhongli bowed his head and said, "Hmm." ”

"Is it finally about to start? I can also take this opportunity to try Liyue's famous dishes. Wendy said with a smile.

"What, you just want to eat!" Paimon complained.

Venti listened to Paimon's words, blinked and replied, "Oh hey! ”

"What do you mean! I'm so angry that I sing! Paimon said huffingly.

Yae Miko urged at Ei, "Let's go, let's go, let's prepare too." ”

Everyone followed Keqing to the scene of the King of Chef Contest and took their seats one by one.

On the judges' bench were, Ruotuo, Zhongli, Ningguang, Tianshuxing, Keqing, Tassel, and Wendy.

"Master, why don't you sit inside, I'm a little uncomfortable." Keqing whispered to the tassel next to him.

"It's not right for me to sit inside, who else in Liyue is higher than the Seven Stars of Liyue." Tassel said with a smile.

"This, this." Keqing struggled with her little face, not knowing how to answer the topic of tassels.

Unlike Keqing's little entanglement, Ningguang felt like a man sitting next to Zhongli, and it was the first time she sat so close to the Emperor of the Rock King that she didn't dare to move, for fear that she would make some indecent moves.

When all the contestants and judges were present, and the audience was surrounded by them, a girl with pink hair and wearing clothes similar to Xiangling's style walked out.

"Welcome to the finals of this year's Liyue Chef Competition, I was invited by the organizing committee to be the notary and host of this competition!"

On the other side of the audience, Paimon said to Ying, "It's Yanfei, she's here too!" ”

Yanfei continued to explain, "This year's Chef Contest is organized by Liyue Seven Stars and organized by multiple organizations, and is divided into two stages: the preliminary selection and the final. ”

"Contestants from all over Liyue will enter the pre-selection process first, and the two strongest contestants will be selected for today's finals, and there will be a mystery guest in the King of Chef competition, who will appear when the finals come."

Yanfei explained: "Of course, this mysterious guest is not participating in the King Chef Competition, but just a friendly exchange of cooking skills with the two strongest finalists, and the final champion will still be born among the two contestants." ”

"The final will be right here later, right in front of you!"

"As a notary public, on behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to notarize this year's finals with all the people of Liyue."

Yanfei said this, turned his eyes to the judges' seat, and introduced: "Let's introduce the judges of this field for you." The judges are divided into two parts: on-field judges and off-field judges, and there are seven judges on the field, namely.

"Tianquan, Miss Ningguang!"

When Yan Fei recited Ningguang's name, Ningguang faced everyone's gaze and nodded with a smile.

"Yuheng, Miss Keqing!"

"Senior gourmet, Uncle Tian!"

"Two erudite and talented guests from the Hall of the Dead, Mr. Zhongli and Mr. Ruotuo!"

"The very famous bard who came to Mondstadt, Wendy!"

"And then there's the tassel girl who competes in friendship!"

"Why is tassel a friendship competition? Obviously, her identity is not ordinary, huh? Paimon scratched his head and said to Ying.

Yingrong replied expressionlessly: "Maybe she is too lazy to choose a name." ”

Listening to Ying's answer, Paimon said with a confused expression, "Yes, is that so?" Should I say, is this worthy of a tassel? ”

"In addition to these seven, the organizing committee will also select 20 people from the crowd to taste the dishes made by the contestants and vote."

That is to say, there are a total of 27 judges on and off the field, and 27 valid votes will be cast for two contestants. The one with the highest number of votes is the champion of the day! ”

Paimon applauded below, "Wow, that's a good one!" ”

"Here's the much-anticipated entry of the players! Two please! ”

After Yanfei finished speaking, Xiangling and Yanxiao walked on stage together.

"Standing on the left is the contestant this time, the seed contestant selected by the Dihuazhou Division - the knife is fragrant, the knife is a chef, and the smile is smiling!"

After Yanfei introduced Yanxiao, Yanxiao hurriedly greeted everyone: "Hello everyone, hello everyone"

Paimon looked at Ying and wondered, "Wow, Yanxiao is also in the finals!" But what the hell, he looks so nervous..."

Ying touched her chin and analyzed: "Maybe it's because of the big scene, maybe Yan Xiao hasn't experienced it." ”

"Smile and smile——! Take out your skills, you are the pride of the boss and the shopkeeper! ”

Paimon's sudden yelling silently moved Ying away from her, and looked up as if I didn't recognize her.

"Huh?! Oh.! Hearing Paimon's words, Yanxiao hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"Standing on the right is the contestant, the Liyue Harbor competition will send the king of strength - Rush Like Rain, Wonderful Chef, Xiangling!"

Hearing Yanfei introduce herself, Xiangling also smiled and waved to everyone to say hello.

"—and her mysterious helper buddy, I don't know who!"

Although he was not called, Guoba still jumped up happily and greeted everyone.

Paimon stood in the audience and complained dissatisfiedly, "It's a pot!" ”

Yanfei glanced at Xiangling and Yanxiao and said: "Please follow me to swear: as the finalist of this year's King of Chef Competition, I will go all out and complete the competition process fairly." ”

Xiangling said with a natural face: "As a finalist of this year's King Chef Competition, I will do my best to complete the competition process fairly." ”

Unlike Xiangling, Yan Xiao said a little nervously: "As a finalist of this year's King Chef Competition, I will go all out to complete the competition process fairly." ”

"And I will witness this final in a fair, just and open manner."

"Huh? What about special guests? Why didn't you see it? Paimon asked, confused.

Yanfei explained: "Hehe, the special guest will wait for the two contestants to decide the winner before appearing, after all, according to herself, if she doesn't do this, there will be some small accidents." ”

"I see? It seems that Shadow is still self-aware. Listening to Yanfei's words, Paimon nodded.

Yae Miko said with a smile on the side: "No, no, no, Kageko is not self-aware, if she can, she will definitely go straight to the field, and it should be the woman who made this decision." ”

"Yes, is that so? And Miko, why are you here? Paimon wondered.

"Alas, I don't know anyone else in Liyue except you, so I'm going to get ready, so I'll have to look for you." Yae Miko replied.

"God, Son of God?"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Yae Miko turned her head in confusion, and as soon as she finished speaking, she was caught by an acquaintance who Liyue didn't know.

Yae Miko turned his head to see Ganyu and shouted happily, "Sister Ganyu? ”

"No, don't call me sister, I'm embarrassed." Ganyu scratched her head embarrassedly and said.

Yae Miko replied with a smile, "Isn't that called habit?" And you're so much older than me, it's normal to call me sister. ”

"Miko, why are you here?" Ganyu wondered.

"Here's the thing." Yae Miko briefly told Ganyu how he came to Liyue.

Ganyu nodded and said, "I see, then I wish you all a good time." ”

"I'm very happy, I haven't seen you for a long time, Sister Ganyu, you are still exactly the same as before, there is no change at all." Yae Miko said.

"You're different, you were still a little fox at the beginning, if I hadn't just noticed your breath, I wouldn't have recognized it." Ganyu replied.

While the two were talking, Yanfei on the stage also continued to start the process of the game.

"Next, I would like to ask the judge, Miss Ningguang, to announce the theme of this year's finals!"

Ningguang: "."

"Don't be nervous, just when we don't exist." Zhongli said lightly on the side.

Although you are the Emperor of the Rock King, but you said that if you are not nervous, I will not be nervous? Also, when you don't exist, how dare I?

Ningguang stood up a little stiffly, took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for coming to the finals of this year's King of Chef Competition, I am Tianquan Ningguang." ”

"On behalf of the organizers, the key words I propose for this year's finals are: the instrument of land and water."

Paimon said to Yingjie, "Food and mountains and rivers, the ritual of land and water... It goes well with the theme of this month-by-month festival. ”

"There is both land and water, and it feels very deep."

Ying: "Ah, yes, yes! ”

Ningguang continued, "The rules are simple, the winner is king. The participating dishes can be voted for by the judges, or you can win the hearts of everyone on the field with your ability. ”

"So, look forward to the performance of the two of you."

After Ningguang finished speaking, Yanfei took over the topic and explained: "The cooking time of this year's finals is one hour, and the two sides use various ingredients provided by the organizer to complete the dishes. No problem. ”

After both contestants nodded, Yanfei continued, "I announce that the final of this year's Liyue Chef Contest has begun! ”

As soon as Yanfei's words fell, the scene of the King of Chefs competition erupted in warm applause.

Ying shouted to Xiangling on the field: "Xiangling, come on." ”

"Uh-huh, I will, don't worry!" Xiangling replied with a smile: "Hehe... Thank you for coming and watching me. Don't worry, I'll do my best to make the best food! ”

Paimon also shouted at Yanxiao on the field, "Yanxiao, you have to do it too!" ”

"Got it, don't worry, I'll give one hundred and two percent." Yan Xiao replied.

"Master, who do you think will win?" Keqing leaned over again and whispered to the tassel.

"I don't know, I haven't eaten Yanxiao's dishes, Xiangling's words, it's okay." Tassel replied.

"I see, but I hope Xiangling can win, hehe." Speaking of this, Ke Qing smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Master, isn't it a little bad for me to be like this, I was biased from the beginning."

Tassel said lightly: "Your thoughts are normal for people, people tend to tend to the side they like, unless you don't know both of them to be truly fair, what you do in the future as long as you have a clear conscience, I won't ask about the rest." ”

"Uh-huh, I see, thank you for Master's teachings." Keqing listened to the tassel's words and nodded happily and said.

Xiangling and Yanxiao were busy on the field, and after the pot was spewed fire, they also walked up to Yanxiao to greet him, which was seen by others.

Yanfei hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mmmmmm? Please wait, there seems to be a surprising incident happening on the field! ”

"The mysterious helper carried by Xiangling seems to have gone to help the opponent! Jury, is this a reasonable matter? ”

"Although it was known in advance that this mysterious helper was Miss Xiangling's partner, and the jury also knew about the situation of the two of them, but what is such a situation...!"

Ningguang opened his mouth and said, "I don't object. Besides, the so-called helper didn't do anything. ”

Tianshu didn't mind this, but said with a smile: "Haha... The young people's arena is always exciting, old man, just watch it. ”

"What this old gentleman said is extreme, as long as it doesn't have an impact, just look at it." After Zhongli finished speaking, he picked up the teacup in front of him again and took a sip slowly.

Keqing listened to Zhongli's words and hurriedly stood up and said to Yanfei, "Ahem... Moderator, let me explain. ”

"Before the start of this finals, the organizing committee has investigated the two participants, and it can be determined that the form and behavior of both parties are not in violation of the rules."

"Xiangling is a very good cook, and the so-called helper next to her is actually Xiangling's partner and family."

Xiangling's dishes are all made by her own hands, and only occasionally use this helper to light the fire. In terms of Xiangling's own cooking skills, there is no difference between using a helper to light a fire and using firewood to light a fire. ”

"I understand the concerns of all of you. The existence of helping the work to cheer up the Xiangling players by dancing a mysterious dance on the side is a little sudden. ”

But at this moment, it also turned to the Yanxiao contestant, cheering for Yanxiao, which just proves that this helper is not partial. Encouraging both oneself and one's opponents, it is a fair helper. ”

After listening to Keqing's words, Xiangling stepped forward and explained: "Yes! Guoba is not my foreign aid, Guoba just likes to watch people cook! I think it must have been trying to help Yan Xiao get rid of the tension. ”

"I can assure you that the pot will not interfere with the game. It's better to say... If Yanxiao can't play normally, it will be the loss of this final! ”

"I have eaten Yanxiao's dishes at Wangshu Inn, he is a very good chef, and I hope to have a fair fight with the real him."

"I see, what do you think about this?" Ningguang asked the crowd on the judges' bench.

Tianshu bowed his head and said: "No opinion, the two of them can have such a fair competitive spirit, which really makes me admire." ”

Tassel replied with an indifferent face: "I don't have an opinion, after all, I'm here to participate in friendship." ”

Wendy replied, "Me too." ”

Zhongli: "Me too. ”

Ruoda: "I'm the same! ”
