Chapter 248
Compared with Hutao’s somewhat straightforward praise, Zhongli, who has studied the word “eating”, has a more subtle opinion.
Zhong Li said leisurely: “Grind the dry and stir-fried Jueyun pepper into powder, add minced garlic and scallions, mix well, and finally add salt, vinegar and soy sauce…”
“This may seem like a rough technique, but it tests the chef’s understanding of seasonings. One more point will make the flavor stronger, and one point less will make it lighter.”
“Well…” Zhongli gave his final comment: “This is the ‘Jingdao’.”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Hutao nodded repeatedly, “Xiang Ling, this is a very good compliment, isn’t it?”
“Hehe…Thank you Mr. Zhongli!” Xiangling was a little embarrassed by the praise, and her shy look was very cute.
“In summary, it’s neither salty nor bland, and tastes just right.”
“The emperor is an old man of culture as soon as he opens his mouth!”
“Zhong knows everything. Li.”
“”Liyue on the Tip of the Tongue”.”
Seeing Xiangling’s shy look, Hutao clicked his tongue twice and looked at Zhongli, “I’m already a very eloquent person, but compared with you, I’m still a bit unsatisfied.”
“Why do you have to be polite to me, Master?” Zhongli praised, “The whole Liyue Port can see the Master’s eloquence.”
“Business compliments each other, right?” Dai Xiaomei couldn’t help but say when she saw Hu Tao and Zhong Li starting to praise each other.
Even Guo Ba couldn’t help but interjected: “♪~♪~”
“Hey, do you want something for Guoba?” Hutao said very generously: “You’re welcome, I want to invite you, and the accountant will just put it on your head.”
“?”
Guo Ba was stunned.
While several people were chatting, Traveler and Paimon came over.
After greeting each other, Hu Tao touched his chin and began to think, “Let me guess, um, you are here for the Sea of Lantern Festival, right?”
Paimon shook his head, “You’ll know it just by looking at it, is there any point in guessing?”
“Oh~” Hutao showed an expression that your child wouldn’t understand, “I’m familiar with you, so I’m just trying to make you laugh.”
Paimon covered his head.
At this time, Xiangling invites Traveler and Paimon to taste her new dishes.
This new dish has received good reviews from both Zhongli and Hutao, and even the boss of “Three Bowls Can’t Take Hong Kong” said it is good, so she also wants to see what travelers think.
“If you want to eat, you must eat!”
When it came to eating, Paimon instantly became energetic.
However, Ying did not forget the purpose of coming this time and said directly: “We are here to see Mr. Zhongli.”
“Ah, no, don’t you want to eat?” Paimeng looked at Ying eagerly, but seeing Ying’s serious look, he could only nod his head and said: “Okay, let’s do business first.”
“Pamon knows how to eat.”
“tnnd, eat! Why don’t you eat!”
“You are a double agent, right?”
After hearing the traveler’s intention, Zhongli asked about her current situation and received a reply that added a lot of insight.
Zhongli had just exchanged a few words with the traveler when Hutao couldn’t wait any longer. He looked at Ying with burning eyes and asked, “So, what? What are you doing with our guest?”
“We are going out today, but we have some business to do…”
Hu Tao’s meaning is already obvious. If there is nothing particularly important, people can’t borrow it.
“Doing, doing something?” Paimon was startled, and his little head was filled with doubts, “It’s obviously a festival, do you still have to do something in the Hall of Rebirth?”
“Look, birth, old age, sickness and death happen during the holidays, right?” Hu Tao was about to make some nonsense when he saw Paimon’s little face turned green, so he changed his words: “Okay~ I’m scaring you, I was just looking at the weather today. Not bad, come out and promote your business…”
After teasing Paimeng for a while, Hutao pulled Xiangling away knowingly, leaving Zhongli behind to discuss business with the traveler.
“Taobao is so cute~ Mommy loves you!” The little girl’s eyes began to shine.
“Traveler, what happened?” After Hutao left, Zhongli looked at Ying and asked.
Ying briefly explained the situation.
After hearing what happened, Zhongli said softly: “Yu Hengxing is an upright and hard-working man, and he is a pillar of talent, but everything must be done in moderation…”
“Yes!” Paimon nodded repeatedly, “What you say makes sense. She should listen to you, right?”
“If I were Emperor Yan Wang, I could still convince her.” Zhong Li changed the subject, “But now I am just a guest, so I have to consider my status.”
“I’m not familiar with Yu Hengxing, so rashly preaching will only offend people.”
Hearing Zhongli’s words, the water friends all laughed.
“Translation: I just want to fish right now.”
“”Ordinary Citizen Mr. Zhong”.”
“As the Emperor of the Rock King, wouldn’t it be the end of Keqing’s dream?”
Paimon had a headache, “What should we do?”
“On the sidelines, maybe you can give it a try.
“At this time, Mr. Zhongli, who knew a little bit about everything, came up with a good idea for them.
“If you can have a story that moves her, you can incorporate your message into it.”
“If the story is based on real life, it can resonate with them, and if you add people close to them, you can have unexpected gains.”
Of course, Paimon couldn’t understand what Zhongli said.
Ying immediately understood what Zhongli meant, so he was going to find someone familiar with Keqing to inquire about the situation, and then come back to ask Zhongli to make some suggestions.
After the story is completed, tell it to Keqing through her.
Just when Yingzheng and Zhongli were discussing countermeasures, an unexpected person appeared.
Keqing actually came here.
After greeting each other, Keqing found that both Ying and Paimon had strange expressions, as if they had a guilty conscience.
Especially Paimon, with his head pressed down and his eyes evasive, he almost said ‘I’m hiding something from you’ written on his face.
“What’s wrong? Could it be that I came too suddenly and disturbed your conversation with Mr. Zhongli? Sorry…” Ke Qing asked doubtfully.
“No, no!” Paimeng shook his head hastily, and then changed the subject: “Keqing, what’s the matter with you here?”
Keqing replied sincerely: “I would like to ask you to introduce me to the immortal families, and I would like to take advantage of the festive season to send some gifts to the immortal families on behalf of Qixing.”
“I fought side by side with my ancestors last time. They should know you.” Paimon continued: “In this case, just go to Jueyunjian directly.”
“It’s just a one-time relationship. The immortals have probably forgotten me.” Ke Qing shook her head, “If I visit rashly, I’m afraid it will make people unhappy.”
Ying nodded and said: “Okay, we will help.”
Paimon sighed, “Being a Seven Star is really hard work, and you have to be responsible for delivering gifts at your doorstep.”
Keqing smiled, and then looked at Ying apologetically, “I’m sorry that I have to trouble you to accompany me during this great festival. I will go faster and never delay your return to watch the fireworks.”
Ying looked at Keqing and smiled and said, “Why don’t we watch the fireworks together!”
“Eh? One, together?”
Keqing obviously didn’t expect Ying to reply like this, and was a little at a loss for a moment.
