As the white mist dissipated, only the aroma of food was left in the air. In the pot, fish, animal meat, rice, tofu, mushrooms and other ingredients were mixed together, but they were not chaotic, but instead put together in an orderly manner on a plate.
, the confusing ingredients not only did not lead to strange flavors, but instead brought out all their advantages.
"Here comes the food! How about my craftsmanship that hasn't deteriorated yet? Just wait, there's more!"
After saying that, Xiangling ran back to the kitchen, and after a while, she brought out some more dishes.
"Squirrel fish! Crystal shrimp! Fragrant and tender pepper chicken! And this! Dangdang! Wanmintang's signature dish: boiled black back bass!"
"Hey, sir, please use it slowly!"
"Okay, stop standing. Sit down." Beidou pulled out two chairs and said to Master Mao, "Master Mao, dinner is ready."
Master Mao finished the last bit of work and shouted to the three of them.
"Okay, here you go!"
The four of them sat at the table, surrounded by a table full of delicacies. Xiang Ling divided the bowls and chopsticks among them, and Zhong Mo picked up the chopsticks eagerly.
"No, Xiao Mo." Beidou gently touched Zhong Mo's head, "At the dinner table, you have to wait for the oldest person to move first, and then everyone can start eating."
Zhong Mo put down his bowl and chopsticks and sat down seriously: "Well, Xiao Mo understands now."
"It's okay, it's okay, kid." Master Mao said quickly.
"Just because she is a child, she must be taught these principles. After all, there is nothing more important to a child than principles."
"That's right. Let's not talk about these things while eating. This is what Xiangling specially prepared for you."
Seeing that Master Mao finally moved his chopsticks, Zhong Mo looked at Beidou with relief. Then Beidou smiled and nodded to her. Zhong Mo then picked up the chopsticks with confidence and started eating.
"Is this child really a child? I thought before that he just looked young."
After all, the age of an immortal can never be judged by appearance, but now Beidou knows that Zhong Mo is indeed a real child.
"Hey, this is different from what Xiaomo ate before."
Zhong Mo took a bite of the boiled blackback seabass made by Xiangling and recalled the fish he had eaten at Boss Zhu's place. The fish was the same kind, but the taste was different.
"Of course." Xiang Ling said with a proud face, "I have carefully improved this dish. The dishes outside are just imitations of this dish. They definitely don't have the original flavor I made.
!”
"Yes." Zhong Mo nodded, "Xiao Mo prefers the ones made by sister Xiang Ling."
"Eat more if you like it! It's easier to grow taller when you're full."
Beidou asked Xiang Ling, "How's it going, Xiang Ling, how is Wanmin Hall doing lately?"
"Fortunately, although those two families are still monopolizing the ingredients, with the help of Sister Beidou, Wanmintang won't have much trouble. It's better to say it's too peaceful! There's no freshness at all. If this continues, when will I?
Only then can we develop new dishes! Ah! It seems like we are going out to find new ingredients!"
At this time, Xiangling turned her eyes to Master Mao: "Dad!"
"What are you looking at me for? I won't agree to it. You are a girl running around alone in the wilderness. How can I rest assured?"
Xiangling could only turn her eyes to Beidou and cast a look at her for help.
"Well, Master Mao, if Xiangling comes with me, you don't have to worry, right?"
Master Mao thought for a while and said: "That's okay. I believe Beidou you can protect Xiangling. After all, being with you may be safer than being with me at Wanmingtang. But Beidou, you still have your own things to do."
Bar?"
"It's nothing. Now that I have no ships, I plan to build a bigger one. How about, Master Mao, you let Xiang Ling follow me during this period? It's not a bad thing to let her gain knowledge. Don't worry, I
I will protect her."
"This?" Master Mao looked at Xiang Ling's longing eyes and sighed helplessly. When the child grows up, he will finally be independent. "That's okay, Xiang Ling will be entrusted to you for the time being."
"Just watch it! Master Mao, I promise to give you a healthy and unharmed daughter by then."
"With your words, what should I worry about? Eat, eat, eat!"
"Let's have a chat, Master Mao?"
"OK!"
Zhong Mo quietly approached Xiangling and asked softly: "Sister Xiangling, what is that?"
"That thing is called wine. Children can't drink it, and I think it tastes weird. But Sister Beidou and my father both like it and drink it. Many people in Liyue Port like to drink it, but I don't like it very much.
.But I heard that wine is used in some dishes, so I plan to try it later.”
After eating, the two of them came to the street. Xiang Ling said to them: "Wait for me! I'll be here soon!"
Zhong Mo asked strangely: "Sister, why did Sister Xiangling go?"
Beidou replied: "You should be looking for Guoba, right?"
"Crisp rice? Is it for food?"
Beidou smiled mysteriously: "You will know later."
After a while, Zhong Mo saw Xiang Ling walking out, carrying a baggage, which should have contained her clothes and some supplies, but what surprised Zhong Mo was what followed her.
There is a circle of black around the eyes, as if wearing an eyepatch, the whole body is yellow, and there is a large area of white on the belly. At a glance, you can tell that it is not a human, but a larger raccoon.
"Let's go! Guo Ba!"
Zhong Mo recalled that he had seen this guy in the kitchen just now, and it was still breathing fire.
"So this guy is a rice cooker?"
"What's wrong? Xiaomo, were you shocked when you saw Guoba for the first time? Haha, Guoba is my good friend. It won't hurt you, don't be afraid."
"Sister Xiangling, I'm not afraid. In fact, I also have a good friend."
Beidou asked curiously: "Is that the exorcist boy? He doesn't seem to be here, right?"
"It's not Chongyun! It's Manman!"
Zhong Mo took out the Tianxing and threw it into the air in front of him. The Tianxing threw a slime in the air.
Manman was lying peacefully in the cave, but suddenly fell out of it, blinked and jumped on the spot, looking for Zhong Mo's figure.
When it saw Zhong Mo, it jumped up and down behind Zhong Mo.
"Wow! It's slime!"
For some reason, Manman felt like there was a pair of scary eyes staring at him.
Zhong Mo picked up Manman and stretched out his hand to show Xiang Ling.
"Look! Sister Xiangling, this is Manman!"
"Ah? Oh! Is this Manman?"
Xiangling whispered softly.
"It seems you can't eat it..."
"Sister Xiangling, what are you talking about?"
"It's nothing, nothing! I'm saying that Manman is quite cute. Guobao, don't you think so?"
