After leaving Zhongli.
Lin Feng still looked thoughtful.
His own demonic power.
Zhongli's words woke him up.
Originally, he had always thought that he was able to control the demon's power without any pressure because his body was strong. But after Zhongli said this, he no longer suffered backlash. Another reason was that the demon's power had belonged to him.
How can any of your own power come back to bite you?
That's what it means.
"Is this the true face of that person?"
Pantalone, who had been silent since meeting Zhongli, finally spoke.
There were many people on the street, so he did not use the name Morax, but replaced it with 'that one'.
Lin Feng came back to his senses, raised his eyebrows and said: "What is the true face? He has always been like this."
"Always been this way."
Pantalone murmured, then fell silent again.
"By the way, don't you really want to see him? Why didn't you dare to say a word just now?"
Lin Feng, who was in a good mood, looked over with a joking expression, trying to see some interesting expression on Pantalone's face.
However, Pantalone's performance was disappointing.
This guy's expression didn't change at all, and he didn't even say anything, as if he didn't hear Lin Feng ask him.
Lin Feng was not happy now. He patted Pantalone on the shoulder and said, "Hey, wake up, are you asleep?"
"."
Pantalone turned to look at him, then shook her head and turned away.
"Huh? That's strange. What happened to you? Why did you become a dull gourd?"
Lin Feng became more and more curious. He stood in front of Pantalone and looked left and right, as if he no longer recognized him.
"you are annoying."
Pantalone waved her hands irritably.
"hey-hey."
Finally seeing the expression he wanted to see, Lin Feng suddenly became happy, pulling Pantalone and saying: "Let's go, let me take you to a good place."
"Where to go?"
"Manmin Hall."
"Didn't you just go there yesterday?"
"It's different. Yesterday, Dadalia took care of me. Today, I'll take you to see something fun."
"what?"
"What do you care? Just follow me."
"."
Pantalone could not refuse and could only follow helplessly.
It was mid-morning and no food had arrived yet.
When Lin Feng and the others came in, Xiang Ling was busy cleaning the store with Guo Ba.
"Hey, senior brother, you are here~~~"
Seeing Lin Feng, Xiang Ling immediately shouted happily, then threw away the rag in her hand and ran over.
"Xiang Ling, did you continue to research new dishes while senior brother was away? Today I specially brought a guest to taste it."
Lin Feng smiled and rubbed Xiang Ling's hair.
Different from the last time he left, this time Xiang Ling
"Of course."
Xiangling put her hands on her hips and said proudly: "I have researched a lot of new dishes recently. Senior brother, please sit down first and I will prepare them."
After saying that, she rushed into the kitchen in a hurry, and Guo Ba followed behind her.
Not long after.
The sound of the shovel coming into contact with the iron pot made a clanging sound.
Lin Feng looked around, found a place that Xiangling hadn't cleaned yet, and sat down. Without being greeted by others, he picked up a pot of tea and poured out two cups. One cup was placed in front of him, and the other cup pushed Panta down. In front of Ronye.
"You called me here to try new dishes for your junior sister?"
Pantalone did not drink tea, but raised her eyebrows and asked: "Is there anything special about the food this little girl cooks?"
Xiangling is a disciple of Immortal Liyue.
In name, he is still from the same school as Master Lin Feng.
He knew this.
Therefore, she was not surprised that Xiang Ling called him Senior Brother Lin Feng.
However, Pantalone was a little confused about the fact that Lin Feng specially asked him to try the dishes. She could only attribute it to the fact that the food cooked by the disciples of the Xian family might be special.
"It's just home cooking."
"Mr. Zhongli also likes to come here to taste Xiangling's new dishes."
Lin Feng chuckled and said, "So I will take you to experience what Mr. Zhongli feels like."
As soon as she heard that Zhongli often came here to try new dishes, Pantalone stopped talking and picked up the tea cup and drank the tea silently.
but.
Compared to the confusion before, there was obviously a bit more expectation in his eyes.
While Xiangling was preparing new dishes, Master Mao came out of the back kitchen to chat with Lin Feng.
Master Mao still likes this "junior" who is polite and helps his family a lot.
However, he didn't come to Lin Feng to simply say hello or chat about home affairs. Instead, he whispered with an embarrassed look on his face: "If the food Xiang Ling makes is hard to swallow, don't mind."
"Hey, it seems that Xiangling's new dishes this time are more 'novel'."
Lin Feng laughed nonchalantly.
Anyway, he wasn't the one who tasted the food, Pantalone was the one to blame.
"It's more than just something new."
Master Mao smiled bitterly and said: "The ingredients used by Xiangling, well, it's hard to describe. I got goosebumps just looking at it, so I'd like to remind you first. Don't force it if you can't eat it. It will be bad if you get poisoned." ”
"."
Pantalone's eyelids twitched, and a bad thought suddenly came to her mind.
Look up.
really.
Lin Feng, that bitch, said with a sly smile: "Uncle Mao, it's okay, we both have been immune to all poisons for a long time."
Hearing this, Pantalone suddenly cursed in her heart: "You are invulnerable to all poisons, and your whole family is invulnerable to all poisons!!!"
"Oh, you child, Xiangling was spoiled rotten by people like you and Mr. Zhongli."
Master Mao shook his head and returned to the kitchen helplessly.
He had only left not long ago.
Xiangling ran out happily carrying two plates of food.
"Elder brother, it's okay~~~"
With that said, she placed two plates of food in front of Lin Feng and Pantalone.
One plate can be distinguished as fried mushrooms, which are red in color and steaming hot.
As for the ones mixed with mushrooms.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a miniature slime.
Another dish was fried bugs.
Yes, it's bugs.
The crystal clear blue bugs are covered with various fragrant spices.
If you look closely, it looks like a crystal butterfly with its wings removed.
"Gudong——"
Pantalone couldn't help but swallow.
Not greedy.
But panic.
Because from the appearance point of view, these two dishes cannot be called dishes at all, and calling them dark cuisine is just to praise them.
In Pantalone's words, if you put these two plates of food in front of the Qiuqiu people, the Qiuqiu people may not eat them.
"Eat."
Lin Feng calmly pushed the plate in front of Pantalone and reminded him specifically: "Mr. Zhongli's favorite thing is to taste Xiangling's new dishes. He always gives very good opinions."
"this"
Pantalone held the chopsticks in her hands and looked hesitant.
However, when he heard Lin Feng and Xiang Ling chatting about how Zhongli usually came to try the dishes, his heart skipped a beat. He picked up a piece of mushroom with a feeling of despair and stuffed it into his mouth with his eyes closed.
"Huh?"
After thinking about it carefully, Pantalone was a little surprised.
The horrible smell I imagined did not appear.
on the contrary.
This dish, which Xiangling calls 'Fire Slime and Wild Mushrooms', tastes surprisingly good.
It is obviously a mushroom, but after being wrapped in slime, it becomes extremely soft and tender, and it can slide down the throat with a light chew.
As for the taste, the burning heat of fire slime brings a spicy-like feeling. After one bite, your tongue and mouth will feel burning pain, which makes you want to stop.
"how is it going?"
Seeing Pantalone take another piece of mushroom and eat it, Xiangling's eyes were filled with anticipation.
"Well, it's a bit unexpected. It tastes pretty good."
Pantalone licked his lips and commented: "It's very smooth and tender. The burning sensation of the fire slime aggravates the taste of Jueyun pepper. People who like spicy food will definitely like it very much. However, after all, the ingredients are Slime is used, which results in a trace amount of elemental power condensation in this dish. If ordinary people eat it, they will definitely have diarrhea."
"Yeah, I remember."
Xiangling nodded repeatedly, and as before, took out a pen and paper and wrote down Pantalone's comments.
Lin Feng saw it clearly.
She also made a note at the end of the note, 'Miss Yelan and Sister Beidou will like it very much'.
"Ye Lan. Beidou"
Lin Feng muttered these two names, rubbed his chin and said, "Come to think of it, I appeared in Liyue Port so openly, why hasn't Ye Lan come to see me yet? It doesn't make sense."
"Elder brother, what are you talking about?"
Lin Feng's voice when talking to himself was not too loud, so Xiang Ling couldn't hear him clearly.
"Oh, it's nothing. Let's change to the next dish."
Lin Feng smiled: "Xiang Ling, come and introduce to Lao Pan what kind of dish this is."
Lao Pan?
Pantalone had the urge to curse, but seeing Lin Feng's smiling face, she thought better of it.
In comparison.
Xiangling is much more polite.
"Mr. Pan, this dish is fried crystal butterflies. Deep-fry them over high heat until crispy, then take them out and sprinkle them with my special secret seasoning. They are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and full of pepper flavor."
As she spoke, Xiangling couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
but.
Even though Xiangling was so impressed with the fried crystal butterfly dish, Pantalone still looked a bit embarrassed.
Anyway.
After all, this fried crystal butterfly is an insect.
It smells really good, and the fragrant water makes people very appetizing.
But Pantalone still hesitated and hesitated before taking off her chopsticks.
When a deep-fried crystal butterfly enters your mouth, the sound of 'crunching' can be heard immediately.
Similar to getting the Fire Slime Slide Wild Mushroom.
This fried crystal butterfly also looks bad but tastes good.
Pantalone's frown quickly relaxed.
He also gave his own evaluation.
"The heat is very good, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The seasoning you mixed with it also tastes very good, but the problem is that there are many foods with a similar texture to this. For example, Linzhu's deep-fried pancake is better than yours. The cost of fried crystal butterflies is much lower, and the aroma will be richer.”
"You can do this."
"Don't just fry the fried crystal butterflies like this. It's too simple, and the price can't afford the appearance and taste. You can mix it with medicinal materials like Qingxin Glazed Bag, fry it first and then bake it, and make it into a dish. The stew can also reduce diners' natural fear of insects such as crystal butterflies, and the price can also make people feel that it is worth their money."
Pantalone gave his opinion seriously.
After Xiangling recorded them one by one, he chuckled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Pan, for your opinion."
After saying that, she stood up and said, "You and senior brother wait for me a little longer, and I will continue to do it."
After she left.
Pantalone put down her chopsticks, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Seeing his appearance, Lin Feng smiled and said, "How does it feel to be introduced to Zhongli?"
Xiang Ling was so careless that she couldn't tell, but Lin Feng could.
This Pantalone was just imitating Zhongli and brought it into the role play of what Morax would do when he came here to try the dishes.
"It's weird."
Pantalone put down the teacup and asked solemnly: "Is he always like this?"
"You've asked me this countless times."
Lin Feng also took a bite of Xiangling's food and said while chewing: "I have told you before that gods have their own lives. They are definitely not as high-minded as you think. They are even very down-to-earth. .”
"Haven't you understood it in the past two days?"
"Zhongli will coax his children like a mortal. He will come to Wanmin Hall to eat like an ordinary diner. He will even find someone to share a table with when there is no table."
"What do you hate about such a god? Do you hate him for being aloof and not answering your prayers? Or do you hate him for being unfair to you? Or do you hate him for controlling his rights and refusing to defend himself?"
Looking at Pantalone with a complex expression, Lin Feng nodded on the table and said in an increasingly serious tone: "I agreed in advance that I would let you see these things, not because I want to help you untie your knot, I just simply I can’t stand the fact that you hate Zhongli for no reason.”
"Zhongli is a very good god."
"When I was in the most critical situation, he protected me. When I needed help the most, he showed up in time again and again. He even said that as long as I asked for something, he would try his best to satisfy me."
"These are generosity beyond what we deal."
"It can be said that for me, he is the biggest benefactor. Without him, I would not be where I am now."
"So I don't want to see his reputation be tarnished for nothing."
"Can you understand me?"
Lin Feng's tone was serious, and his words contained a strong warning.
Pantalone did not say a word, lowering her head in silence.
He once respected Zhongli immensely because Zhongli had protected Liyue for six thousand years, allowing their descendants to be well fed, clothed and warm, and no longer threatened by other dangers.
Later, he hated Zhongli extremely because his prayers were not answered, because he couldn't get anything he wanted, and because the god he once respected so much favored other people.
But now.
He suddenly realized how ridiculous his hatred was.
"Hehehe, hahahaha——"
Pantalone suddenly laughed and laughed at himself: "It would have been better if I had known you earlier, but it's a pity that I have even forgotten your name. The former Liyue little Pan has now become the Winter Sinner Panta Ronye."
"Hey, what's this?"
"If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good."
Lin Feng smiled: "It's not too late to admit your mistake now."
"If you know your mistakes and you can correct them, there is no greater good than you can do."
Pantalone repeated this sentence twice, shook his head and smiled: "I hope so."
