Chapter 174 The Three-Eyed and Five-Manifested Immortal Xiao Hears the Call and Comes to Mock

"It tastes so good, I guess you know why, right?" Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun replied calmly.

Paimeng exclaimed: "Is it Liusu?"

"Yes, Liusu said at the time that my mechanism was too lousy, and the dishes she cooked were nothing. She could find a random Qiuqiu person to cook better than this mechanism. Although I know this is an exaggeration, I naturally can't help but take it to heart. Is my cooking level worse than that of a Qiuqiu person?" When he said this, Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun looked strange.

"This is what Liusu can say." Paimeng echoed.

"Because the people invited at that time included the Emperor, the immortals, and you, it was naturally impossible to use the experimental version of the magic machine to cook for you, so it was Liusu who activated the mechanism at that time. It's better to say that she cooked it herself than to say that she activated the mechanism."

"So this immortal is very envious. Liusu has this skill. The dishes she makes are very delicious, but hers are not so good after eating too much, so I want to make a magic machine for cooking and make a good dish for her."

Paimeng concluded: "So, Master Liuyun made this magic machine for cooking because he felt a little embarrassed to eat and drink for free at Liusu's place?"

Master Liuyun Jiefeng: "???"

That's the reason, but can it be said? You little thing, sooner or later I will throw you into the magic machine for cooking and refine it a hundred times!

"Does Liuyun want us to help cook a meal for Liusu?" Ying said, touching his chin.

When Master Liuyunjiefeng heard what Ying said, he looked up and replied, "That's not what I think, absolutely not."

"If that's not the case, then I'll leave. Your mechanism is really troublesome."

Looking at Ying who was about to leave, Master Liuyunjiefeng finally lowered his head and said, "Okay, yes, I want to make a good dish for her."

"Then I'll try it again."

After that, Ying began to fiddle with the mechanism cooking machine, while Master Liuyunjiefeng controlled the heat on the side.

After a while, three plates of steaming Wenxin tofu came out of the oven. Master Liuyunjiefeng used his immortal power to pack them and put them on the table.

"It looks good, but I don't know how it tastes. Let me try it." Master Liuyunjiefeng said, and turned back into human form and picked up a portion of Wenxin tofu.

"You guys try it too and give me some suggestions."

"Hehe, then we won't be polite." Hearing that there was food, Paimeng walked to the table with a smile.

"Delicious!" Paimeng tasted it and exclaimed.

"Well, it tastes good, but it's still a little worse than that." Liuyun took a bite and frowned.

Ying commented: "It's already very good, a little better than what I made."

"Hahaha, you are worthy of being this immortal. Look at the technology of processing tofu, but I still have to adjust the cooking machine again to try to do better."

"Maybe I will ask you for help again in a while. At that time, you must not refuse, and don't tell her about this."

Ying nodded and said: "Okay."

"We know, don't worry." Paimeng replied with a smile.

Liuyun: "."

After you said that, I was not at all relieved.

"Then you can leave on your own."

Paimeng suddenly said: "Then let's go back first. I don't know what happened to Xiangling. Hey, Xiangling sent us a message and asked us to go to Wanmin Hall to find her."

Ying: "."

This feeling of being pinched by fate by the back of the neck made Ying very uncomfortable, but she had to go. Why did this happen one after another? Can't let people rest?

Thinking of this, Ying went to Wanmin Hall with Paimong to look for Xiangling.

Paimong walked to the front of Wanmin Hall and called out, "Xiangling, we are here!"

Xiangling came out excitedly and said to the two of them excitedly, "Traveler, Paimong! I have successfully passed the preliminary selection of the Chef King Competition!"

"Really?! That's great!" Paimong agreed happily.

"Hehe, you passed just by showing off your skills... Ah, a good man should not brag about his past achievements. I have something to trouble you today."

"I tried to cook some dishes. I would like to ask everyone to try them and give some opinions. Traveler, do you want to have a bite first?"

Ying replied: "Unfortunately, we just ate before."

Although Paimeng agreed with Ying's words, he mainly remembered the strange dishes Xiangling had made before, and hurriedly suggested: "Ah... ah, right! Besides, we often eat your dishes, so we may not be very objective. To be on the safe side, it is better to find a few more people to taste the dishes."

Xiangling nodded and said: "Good idea! Let me think about it... Well, the first person I want to ask her to taste the dishes is Sister Beidou."

Based on the idea of ​​​​better death than death, Paimeng hurriedly agreed: "Beidou does give people a sense of reliability, so let's go find her!"

"She should be at the dock now. I'll put the dishes into the food box, and we'll go to the dock to take a look." After Xiangling finished speaking, she hurried back to Wanmin Hall to prepare to pack the already prepared food.

Paimeng looked at Xiangling who was leaving and said to Ying: "What strange dishes did Xiangling prepare again? I'm so curious!"

Ying replied: "You'll know if you try it?"

Paimeng shook his head and said: "Forget it, not to mention that we ate at Liuyun Zhenjun's place, even if we didn't eat, I wouldn't dare to try Xiangling's weird dishes."

"Traveller, Paimon, I'm ready. Let's go to the dock to find Sister Beidou now." After Zaiying and Paimon chatted for a while, Xiangling also walked out from Wanmin Hall holding a food box.

"Then let's go!"

After Paimon finished speaking, everyone walked towards the dock.

"Xiang Ling, what's in your food box?" Paimon asked curiously as he walked and looked at the food box in Xiang Ling's hand.

"Hey, this is a new dish I made, would you like Paimon to try it?" Xiangling handed the food box in front of Paimon and said with a smile.

Paimon quickly refused: "No, no need, this is for Beidou, I won't taste it."

"It's okay. You can go back and get another one now. If you want to eat, I'll go back and get one for you." Xiang Ling stopped and said seriously.

Paimon explained: "I'm just curious, and Ying and I have actually eaten before. If you give the food box to Beidou, I will know about it, so let's speed up."

Everyone came to the dock and found that Beidou was indeed here. At the same time, she was still talking to a dark-skinned woman dressed like a rock band.

"Found it, Beidou and Xin Yan are together." Paimon walked up to the two of them and said to Ying.

Xiangling ran up with the food box and said, "Sister Beidou, Xin Yan, are you bothering me?"

Hearing Xiang Ling's voice, Beidou and Xing Yan turned their heads at the same time.

Beidou smiled and said: "Xiang Ling, you came just in time, we just talked about you."

Xing Yan took over the topic and explained: "Sister Beidou said that we should go to the boat to play together when we have time. The brothers all miss us very much!"

"You two have such a good relationship." Paimeng said with emotion as he looked at Beidou, Xingyan, and Xiangling.

Xiangling explained with a smile: "Yes, yes, Sister Beidou and Xin Yan are both my old customers. I sometimes go to Sister Beidou's ship to help cook, and Xin Yan also recently said that she would go to perform on the ship!"

After Xiang Ling finished speaking, Xing Yan greeted Ying and Paimon: "Good music should be shared by everyone. Come and play together when you have time!"

"By the way, I have been shortlisted for the finals of this year's Chef King Competition. I have just made some dishes for the competition. Can you please try them and give me your opinions?"

Beidou smiled and nodded: "Okay, just in time to drink."

Xing Yan also echoed: "I happen to be hungry, let me try it!"

"Hehe, then you guys give it a try." After Xiang Ling said that, she opened the food box in front of Beidou and Xingyan.

"It looks good." Beidou commented on the dishes.

"Let me try." Xing Yan picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

"How's it going?" Xiang Ling asked expectantly.

"Uh-oh! The hibiscus chicken slices you made are delicious!" Xingyan praised Xiangling.

Beidou also tasted it: "I am so lucky to have such a good dish with wine, hahaha."

After saying that, Beidou took out the wine bottle placed aside and took a sip, then let out a comfortable breath.

"happy!"

"Did it turn out to be delicious? Hmm." Paimeng looked at Beidou and Xingyan who were eating happily and scratched his head with some regret.

Ying asked doubtfully: "Didn't we eat before?"

What she said she had eaten was different from what Paimon said she had eaten. Paimon just didn't want to eat weird things, but she could still continue to eat delicious food, while what Ying said she had eaten was really what she had eaten. .

"This, this is different." Pamon said vaguely.

"But, Ying, do you think they all have very cheerful personalities?" Paimon changed the subject.

"What do you mean by cheerful?" Ying glanced at Paimon and said.

Paimon replied: "It's just about making friends. It's easy to get along with this kind of person if you make friends."

"Then do you think Liusu, Zhongli, Ying, Wendy, Yao Shenzi and others are cheerful?" Ying suddenly asked.

Paimon: "."

Paimon hesitated and replied: "They, they are too cheerful."

"However, there are three dishes here, Furong Chicken Slices, Lai Lai Cai, and Crystal Shrimp. The overall taste is so refreshing." Beidou commented after eating.

"Um, can you describe these three dishes as refreshing?" Paimon scratched his head after hearing Beidou's words.

Beidou explained: "Those of us who always drift on the sea don't have so many choices. If we go on a boat on weekdays and go far, we have to save our food rations."

"So, as soon as I get back to land, I want to eat some hot dishes that are heavy in flavor and oil."

"Beidou and Miss Ningguang have completely opposite tastes!" Paimon replied, spreading his hands.

Xing Yan nodded and said, "Yes! Sister Beidou's taste is more similar to mine and Xiangling's."

"Ningguang... don't mention that woman, ugh." Speaking of Ningguang Beidou, he became extremely angry.

While a few people were talking, Ying pulled away to find Guo Ba who was wandering aside and invited him: "Guo Ba, look at them chatting happily, let's have another one?"

"Lu!" Guo Ba nodded happily after hearing Ying's words.

"This time we play something different. This is a new game I got. It's called "Journey to Liyue". It's still the same. We roll the dice and then control the chess pieces to move. Each step has different events. Everyone has an initial "Wan Mora, the rule to win the game is to keep playing until the opponent has no more Moras," Ying said while unfolding the chessboard.

"Lu, Lu." Guo Ba nodded, indicating that he understood.

While Ying and Guo Ba were playing chess, Beidou continued: "Her and I have so different tastes that we can't even eat them in the same bowl."

"But when I saw you guys chatting last time, I always felt that you had a good relationship." Paimeng said with some doubt.

"Equal strength is also a kind of balance. Although I really have nothing to say about her boiled cabbage."

After listening to Beidou's complaints, Xing Yan nodded and agreed: "I understand, I understand! Boiled cabbage is top-notch, but it looks exquisite, but it is actually very boring. It's not like some dishes, which feel like bursting when you put them in your mouth!"

"Xin Yan, do you also think these dishes are light?" After listening to the two people's arguments, Xiangling asked Xing Yan.

Xing Yan replied: "Compared to light, I think... it seems to lack a little rhythm."

"Yes, these dishes are beautiful, but if you want to take them to participate in the competition, they may lack a little momentum."

"Momentum? I know, Xian Tiao Qiang!" Paimeng suddenly said when he thought of something.

Beidou touched his chin and said, "Xian Tiao Qiang is indeed a good delicacy, whether in terms of rich taste or quality, but one bad thing is that it is too expensive. Not only are the ingredients expensive, but it also takes a long time to cook."

Xiangling replied, "Paimeng, how can you take Xian Tiao Qiang to participate in the competition? Moreover, during the competition, it is made with the ingredients on the field. It is impossible to make a complete Xian Tiao Qiang."

"That's right." Paimeng scratched his head and said.

"But Ying can make it." Paimeng suddenly thought of something and said.

"Travelers are different. Her cooking methods cannot be observed according to common sense."

Xiangling continued: "Moreover, Xian Tiao Qiang is originally a delicacy of the immortals, otherwise it would not be named this way. Now this dish has spread throughout Liyue Harbor, and almost every store has it, but the taste of each store is a little surprising, but the process required in the middle is not less. If Xian Tiao Qiang is made in a short time, it will not have that taste. As a chef, this incomplete delicacy is absolutely not acceptable!"

"But what exactly does Xing Yan mean by rhythm and momentum?" Speaking of this, Xiangling touched her chin and fell into deep thought.

Xing Yan explained, "As for rhythm, Xiangling must understand it. But I am only good at music, and I am far inferior to her in cooking. You can just listen to my suggestions."

"No, no, Xin Yan and Sister Beidou are right, rhythm...momentum! Yes, that's it!"

Xiangling thought for a while and said, "I was thinking about it when I was cooking. Although it is a new combination, it seems to lack something that makes the final decision... lacks the feeling of the finishing touch!"

"Ying, she seems to be very inspired, but do cooking and music really have something in common?" Paimeng flew to Ying's side and asked her.

"I don't know, isn't it okay to have hands for cooking? Go over quickly and don't disturb me and Guoba playing chess." Ying waved her hand impatiently and replied.

Paimeng: "."

"Okay, then you play slowly." Paimeng flew back with a tangled face.

"Guoba, the Mora in your hand is like a candle in the wind, and the first victory is mine." Ying suddenly said to Guoba.

Guoba was shocked, and the dice in his hand fell to the ground, and then he rolled a five.

"Lu!"

Guoba moved the chess piece forward five steps with a painful look on his face, just walking to Ying's property Liyue Port.

Ying said to Guoba expressionlessly: "Look, you can continue to bet on other items, but you chose the most expensive one, which is the Liyue Port that I upgraded three times. Here you go, 13,600 Mora."

"Lu!"

Because he didn't have enough Mora, Guoba could only start to mortgage his assets with a look of discomfort. In the end, all his assets plus the Mora in his hand were given to Ying, but he was still short of 100 Mora.

Guoba, who had no Mora, finally declared bankruptcy, and Ying won the first round of "Journey to Liyue".

"Lu, Lu." Guoba, who was not convinced, was ready to call Ying to the next round.

"Hehe, Guoba, you can't beat me in chess, but I'm not afraid of anyone in terms of luck." Ying said to Guoba with a proud look on his face.

"Lu."

Although Guoba couldn't stand Ying's hateful face when she won, Guoba had to admit that Ying's luck in throwing dice was really good.

"I thought of it, I have a direction to improve." Xiangling suddenly shouted loudly.

Guoba and Ying, who were playing chess on the side, turned their heads at the same time.

Xing Yan smiled and said: "Be brave and try it! You are so good, you can definitely get the first place. There is no chef better than you in the whole Liyue Port! Right, Sister Beidou?"

Beidou listened to Xing Yan's words and agreed with a smile: "After all, Xiangling is also the celebrity chef I like the most. There are not many people in the world who are favored by me, Beidou."

Xiangling listened to everyone's words, smiled a little embarrassedly and said: "Hehe. I will try my best, thank you!"

"Then you go first, Xinyan and I will go to the boat."

Paimeng said: "See you next time!"

Beidou waved to Paimeng and left with Xing Yan.

Seeing the two people leaving, Paimeng turned to Xiangling and suggested: "Xiangling, the people you just found all have heavy tastes, is it okay? Do you want to find someone with a lighter taste to ask?"

"That's right, Sister Beidou likes heavy oil and hot stir-fry, Xinyan can eat spicy food... Well, I should ask again."

"Someone with a light taste. Hey! Ying, do you have any recommendations?" Paimeng asked Ying who was playing chess next to him.

"If you ask me this, it seems that there is indeed one." Ying replied.

Paimeng asked in confusion: "Who, who?"

"You know, almond tofu"

"Oh, that's right, it's that person. Are we going to Wangshu Inn again?"

"What, who is it?" Xiangling interrupted.

"Didn't you see him last time?" Paimeng replied.

Xiangling asked excitedly, "Are you talking about the immortal in Wangshu Inn?"

Paimeng nodded and said, "Yes."

"Then let's go to Wangshu Inn as soon as possible. The taste of the immortal should give me a lot of inspiration." Xiangling said excitedly.

"No need to go to Wangshu Inn, are you stupid? Didn't he say that if you have something to do, call his name, he will come over?" Ying rolled her eyes at Paimeng. Now that the chess game has reached a critical moment, she doesn't want to leave.

Paimeng scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Oh, I forgot."

"But... can you really hear it if you call your name? Otherwise, let's find a secluded place and try it."

"Isn't our place secluded? There's no one here, so we can just stay here." Ying said without raising her head.

Paimon suggested: "Okay, then the three of us will take turns to call and try."

Xiangling pointed at herself with a surprised look and said: "Hey? I want one too?"

"I'll go first, cough cough!"

Paimon moistened his throat and shouted: "Xiao——!"

After waiting for a while, Xiangling saw that nothing happened, scratched his head and said: "It seems there is no response."

Paimon said unconvinced: "I'll try again, Xiao——!"

After a long time again, there was still no response, not to mention Xiao, there was not even a bird next to it.

Paimon: "."

Paimon scratched his head and said to several people: "No way, is he unwilling to come?"

"This, will he really come if he is called? He is an immortal." Xiangling said hesitantly.

"Well, it seems... not us, but someone among us." Paimon said this and cast his eyes on Ying who was playing chess.

Xiangling nodded and said, "Is that so? Then you, the traveler, should give it a try. Paimon is really a fool. He just loves to join in the fun."

After hearing what Xiangling said, Paimon scratched his head and said, "Woo woo. Well, let Ying call him."

Ying looked at Paimon helplessly and shouted, "Xiao."

"What's the matter?"

Xiao, the three-eyed and five-manifested immortal, came to laugh (bushi)

As soon as Ying finished speaking, everyone heard Xiao's voice from above.

"Wow!" Xiangling heard the voice, looked up and saw Xiao, showing a shocked expression.

Paimon exclaimed, "He's really here!"

Xiao ignored Paimon and Xiangling and asked Ying, "You called my name, right?"

"Yes, I didn't expect you to really come." Ying nodded.

Xiao replied indifferently, "I will do what I promised you."
