"I went to the Hall of Life for a walk."
Famas spit out the grass roots in his mouth, omitted most of the events that should not be known to Ying, and then briefly recounted his itinerary for the past two days.
"You must have been hiding in the Hall of Rebirth for two days!"
Paimon circled around Famas, folding his arms and telling Famas what she and Ying had discovered, as well as the speculation about Liyue Qixing's conspiracy to assassinate the emperor.
"is that so?"
Famas, who knew the truth of the matter, tilted his head, listened to Detective Paimon's speculation, and waited for Xiang Ling to bring the food to the table.
"Stir-fried pork slices, pickled fresh meat, and grape juice, here you go!"
Xiang Ling held the dinner plate with both hands and walked in circles with brisk steps while steadily putting the dishes on the table. The aroma of the food was rich and seemed to fill the entire Wanmin Hall. But he didn't know if it was Ying's illusion. He always felt The smell seems a bit pungent.
"You guys eat first, I'll go greet the guests."
In the neat Wanmin Hall, there were gradually more and more customers. Xiangling was just about to sit down and reminisce with the three of them when another customer came to Wanmin Hall and asked Xiangling to order.
Paimeng looked at Xiang Ling who was busy in Wan's kitchen and held his forehead helplessly.
When can I borrow the kitchen of Wanmintang...
After taking a sip of the grape juice, Famas began to feast. Ying had to use chopsticks to pick up the golden lean meat in the stir-fried meat slices and eat together.
Drops of oil and water dripping down the edges of the meat look very appetizing.
Remove the chives from the meat slices, tilt your head slightly, and bite into the plump piece of meat.
The slightly blanching temperature makes the meat slices firmer and more delicious, but an extremely overbearing spiciness seems to fill the whole mind after a few seconds, especially the slightly higher temperature makes the spiciness even higher.
Due to etiquette, Ying resisted the urge to cough and breathe quickly through her mouth, and turned to look at the grape juice on her hand.
Xiangling always puts the drinks on the right side of the guests when serving food, but Famas likes to place the drinks on the left.
Ying subconsciously picked up the cup on her right and took a few sips, only to realize that the temperature of the grape juice seemed to be wrong. After thinking for a moment, she remembered that this seemed to be an iced drink from Famas, and she prepared to put down the cup with a slight embarrassment.
At this time, Famas raised his head and wanted to ask Ying what he thought of Wanmintang's dishes, but found that the other party's eyes were red, and he was looking at him with tears in his eyes... Oh no, to be precise, it was the grape juice next to him.
Famas felt strange and looked at the meat slices fried by Xiangling.
The browned meat is filled with aroma, and the golden color when fried until slightly browned and then fried for a while is particularly lovely. There is also a layer of deep red chili peppers under the thick meat...
Wait, so many peppers?
Famas' eyelids twitched. Xiangling seemed to have used an unusual amount of Jueyun pepper to make this dish, and he remembered that Ying rarely eats spicy food.
Famas reacted immediately, picked up the grape juice at hand and handed it to Ying, and patted her on the back.
Ying, who was holding back her cough, was slapped by Famas, and she was about to shed tears. She waved her hands and tried to say it was okay, but the raging pungent feeling in her throat made her cough continuously, unable to say a word.
"Have a drink."
Just when Ying took the tea cup and drank it, Famas discovered that after several moves, when the glass was in Ying's hand, the place where his lips touched happened to be the place where he had just drank.
Drinking the grape juice with red eyes, a cold feeling of comfort came out, and the spiciness was slightly relieved, but the teacup where the lips touched was still warm.
Chilled grape juice...it should be cold, right?
Was she drinking the cup of Farmas?
The atmosphere became a little strange. Paimon stuffed pieces of meat into his mouth while looking at Ying, whose ears were red, and kept saying to himself: "Xiang Ling's cooking skills are really good!"
"The flavor of the stir-fried pork slices is really incredible. It tastes so good that my ears turn red... ugh... ugh!"
Before Paimon could finish his words, his eyes widened in shame, and Ying, who kept coughing, had already reached out to cover Paimon's mouth.
It was really miserable for me. Not only did I fail to borrow the stove, but I also drank the wrong drink. In the end, I had to control Paimon's nonsense.
"Ahem...Famas, can you make ointment?"
In order to avoid embarrassment, Ying hurriedly took out three small glass jars about the size of Mora from her arms. They contained dark red powder of different colors, which looked warm and beautiful.
The strange and delicate fragrance emanates from the cracks in the glass bottle, suppressing the spiciness of Jueyun pepper.
Whenever you walk on the streets of Liyue, you can always smell the smell of ointment, but it's almost always the smell of low-quality powder, which carries to miles away along the wind.
Famas rarely smelled this kind of powder with a warm aroma.
"of course."
Picking up the last bamboo shoot among the pickled vegetables, Famas calmly took a sip of the room-temperature grape juice.
For the residents of Liyue Port, flowers are almost everywhere in their lives. The neon flower is a kind of colorful flower. Its soft petals are often used to be processed into silk. Even after layers of processing and weaving, the inherent elegant fragrance of this flower still lingers for a long time.
Therefore, the people of Liyue also specially cultivated varieties for brewing balm, and this kind of balm was once offered as a tribute to the Rock King.
According to a popular saying in the villages of Liyue, the making method of colorful flower balm was originally taught to humans by the immortals who lived in seclusion in the Aozang Mountain. In that era when demons and mortals lived together, the Immortal once taught humans the techniques of planting vegetation. He also transformed into an elegant fairy bird and taught a girl how to make and apply ointment to a young girl who accidentally wandered into Mount Auzang.
The technique of making balm has been passed down from generation to generation.
Interestingly, in the eyes of Liyue people, colorful flowers are also one of the symbols of Emperor Yanwang. This majestic god, who mainly walks the world in the form of a male, may have also transformed into a female form to accept the offerings of flowers.
Famas and Ying chatted while eating. Soon, Xiangling, who was busy with the customer's order, wiped her hands. A cunning look flashed in her golden eyes. She quickly ran to sit opposite Ying and asked happily: "How about it, Ying? The spicy meat slices I made specially for you are not bad, are they?"
Looking at the smiling little cook, she didn't hesitate to show her anger. She stretched out her hand and patted Xiang Ling's shoulder and said, "Xiang Ling, we want to borrow the kitchen of Wanmin Hall..."
"Again?"
Hearing Ying's request, Xiang Ling jumped up from the bench and waved her hands quickly: "Last time you said you wanted to burn Yebo Stone, and you almost blew up the kitchen... No, no, no!"
"This time is different! We just want to use the cauldron to brew the ointment."
After eating a large plate of spicy meat slices, Paimon poured grape juice into his mouth without forgetting to argue with Xiang Ling.
"Boil the ointment?"
Hearing Paimon's words, Xiangling stepped forward and grabbed Paimon's face: "Does little Paimon have a sweetheart?"
"Um...no!"
Paimon retorted with pieces of meat in his mouth.
"Paimon's sweetheart is probably only delicious food."
Famas shook his head helplessly.
"Well, it's still early at noon anyway. If you want to make ointment, Wanmin Hall has a special small pot."
Xiangling held her face playfully, and the aroma of the food spread far away.
