Chapter 493: Interaction before dinner
"Alright, alright, let's just have a fight. Just have fun while I prepare the ingredients for tonight."
Gu Sanqiu clapped his hands, then picked up Xingqiu and said, "Come here and help me."
Qiqi has been attracted by the flowers and plants in the courtyard and is currently in a state of self-intoxication, so she doesn't need to care about the other party.
"Hey, hey, why do I have to help you?"
Xingqiu struggled and was dragged into the kitchen by Gu Sanqiu, but he still obediently picked up the kitchen knife and prepared the ingredients for dinner.
There may be too many people coming today, so if I don’t call someone to help, time will be a bit tight.
But as to why only Xingqiu was picked, we can only say that courting disaster and adding fuel to the fire also has its price.
Two kitchen knives were flying up and down in the kitchen. Xingqiu also used the Eye of God to condense water balls floating in the air. To wash vegetables, one only had to throw them in and let the vegetables pass through the water balls.
Quite convenient.
Gu Sanqiu slapped the stove, and a large amount of cleaned ingredients flew up instantly. Under a few rays of light, Xingqiu on the side held several plates and received the finely chopped ingredients in batches, coordinating them perfectly.
Xingqiu sighed, "Tsk, I suddenly understand why when Xiangling was on duty at Wanmin Hall, Chef Mao had no intention of making big pot dishes. She is a serious chef, so her hands-on skills should be better than the two of us."
"Xiangling has a partner who lives with her day and night. She is very good at controlling the fire of the rice crust. Even the chef of Liuliting Xinyuexuan can't compare to her."
As an acquired skill, the temperature will still be affected by the state, but it is different for Guoba. For him, fire is the purest instinct.
Not to mention the simplest way of controlling fire to cook, even using flames to create the shapes of birds and beasts to cook is no problem.
But to be honest, if power is used in this way, it feels like a waste from any perspective.
Considering that there is a certain demon god in Mond leading the way in terms of "abuse of power", this should not be a big deal.
As the Demon God of the Stove, it is normal for me, Guoba, to use my authority to cook.
Besides, my intelligence has greatly decreased, what is authority?
"Sufficient Reason"
Xingqiu started cutting mushrooms: "How come these are just side dishes? You didn't steal today's main ingredient, did you?"
"You thought I was you."
Gu Sanqiu took out a huge box from the storage cabinet. After seeing this, Xingqiu couldn't help but look up at the box.
"There's another box in the storage cabinet, a refrigerator for low-temperature storage?"
"Well, I use elemental crystals as a power source. In addition to ensuring the freshness of the ingredients, it can also add an extra flavor, although it sounds wasteful."
"Ordinary elemental crystals are not that valuable. Just don't use precious elemental crystals to replenish your energy."
Xingqiu reached out curiously: "Let me see what's inside. It must be a very precious ingredient since you have preserved it so well."
“That must be very precious.”
Gu Sanqiu slapped Xingqiu's claws away and said, "Take care of the remaining dishes. There seem to be a few more people outside. I'll go and greet them."
"Go ahead, go ahead. Just don't find any excuse to escape from the kitchen."
Xingqiu waved at Gu Sanqiu and continued to process the remaining ingredients seriously. Although he was the second young master of a large chamber of commerce, as a hero who had been traveling the world for many years, Xingqiu still had very high life skills.
But after half an hour, Gu Sanqiu still hadn't returned. Xingqiu couldn't help but wonder if this guy had really run away secretly, leaving him alone here to deal with the ingredients.
What a hateful Sanqiu!
Xingqiu washed his hands and went out, and then he saw three people sitting upright at the table, and Qiqi who was holding coconut milk and swinging her legs.
"What are you doing?"
Xingqiu walked over and glanced at the card game on the table: "Why don't you play anymore? Even if Patriarch Qiqi plays cards slowly, it doesn't mean we can't play."
Chongyun smiled bitterly: "We originally thought so, and then we encountered a dimensionality reduction attack from novice luck."
"Grandma Qiqi doesn't understand the rules, but she always manages to put together a bunch of cards that she thinks are 'good-looking and pleasing to the eye', and then we're gone."
Oh, I see.
Xingqiu understood: "Then why did you stop again? Do you understand that you have to pay back what you earn by luck?"
"Well, it's nothing more than winning or losing. It's nothing to play around among friends."
Wu Yuminglei coughed and said, "But the person who just came was Sanqiu's sister. As soon as Sanqiu came out, she was dragged into the room in the center."
"We didn't dare to eavesdrop on the details, but this Qiqi Immortal said that she heard a very stern voice saying 'kneel down' from inside."
oh.
Xingqiu understood, and then sat down next to Qiqi casually.
"It's okay, it's okay. It's nothing more than Sanqiu being taught a lesson. It's no big deal. You're talking as if he's been a good kid since he was a child. Let's just play our own games and continue!"
…
“Yoho—this hall master makes a brilliant appearance!”
Hu Tao and Keqing ran in holding hands. "Sanqiu, Sanqiu, what delicious food are you going to treat us to today?"
Keqing gently exerted force on her hand, motioning Hu Tao to take a look at the atmosphere in the courtyard first.
Xingqiu became Qiqi's military advisor, and the four young ones and one old man were having a lot of fun. Xinyan and Xiangling also took on the responsibilities of military advisors, but they were mostly setting traps for Chongyun and the others.
But it was a different story at the table next to them. Ningguang, Zhongli, Beidou and the special specialist named Ye Lan, the four ultimate card masters started playing a complicated version of Liyue Millennium.
Bai Zhu was looking at the flowers and yam apple trees in the courtyard with a serious look on his face, while Guoba was jumping around, trying to reach Changsheng with his short hands.
Changsheng, on the contrary, stretched and shrank, and it looked like Guoba had successfully teased Changsheng, but in fact it was the little white snake who was teasing the big fool below.
Behind Ningguang, Gu Sanqiu had a bitter face and was holding the teapot dejectedly. He had fallen from the status of head of the family to a waiter.
"Oh, almost everyone is here."
Gu Sanqiu raised his head and glanced at the Overload Combination who had just entered the room, then put the teapot on a chair nearby.
"I'll go prepare the main ingredients, and then everyone can eat."
Hu Tao ran over and punched Gu Sanqiu's chest with her little fist: "Where are Grandma Ping and Teacher Yun? You didn't invite them, did you?"
"Yan Fei has already found a place to deal with one. She won't come here because there are too many cases."
"From Uncle Tian's side, I heard that Sister Huixin had a few dinners with a former male classmate recently. The old man was so happy these past two days that in addition to giving advice to his daughter, he also had to investigate the news about the classmate, so he had no mood to come to the dinner."
"Yunjin has work tonight, and Granny Ping and Sister Ganyu said they are too busy to come, so they asked us to have some fun."
"I can't find the others. Anyway, those who are in Liyue Harbor and can come here are all here."
Ganyu might have been simply busy with work, but it's not so clear for Granny Ping. From the time when she borrowed the Dust-Clearing Bell, it seemed that Granny Ping always knew that Zhongli was wandering in the mortal world, and then they didn't see each other.
Immortal's confusing behavior.
"Eh? Yunjin, do you have work tonight?"
Hu Tao looked at Zhong Li who was standing aside and said, "My dear guest, you will be in a hurry to go to the theater later, right?"
Zhongli openly admitted that he was going to slack off: "What the hall master said makes sense. Mr. Yun's plays, whether new or old, are all worth savoring."
