Xiang Ling showed a proud expression. For a chef, the happiest thing is to find a diner who knows how to "eat".
"Then you want to try it?"
"Okay! Then I'll try it!"
After setting the food, Manager Xiao picked up the bowl and chopsticks, gently picked up a few pieces of meat and put it into his mouth. Xiang Ling looked at him expectantly, but Manager Xiao didn't say anything, and just extended his chopsticks to the next bowl of food and picked up a few pieces of meat.
mouth.
"Yes, that's right. The grilled tiger fish is cooked just right. It's crispy on the outside but not burnt, tender but not dry on the inside. This plate of stir-fried pork slices is spicy but not choking, chewy but not old. This dry-cooked bacon
I even fried the oil in the meat and applied it to the side dishes. The meat didn’t taste greasy, and the dishes tasted delicious, not bad.”
Manager Xiao nodded while praising these dishes. Xiang Ling on the side also looked very happy. Although the usual guests also thought her cooking was delicious, most of them just thought it was delicious. Although Xiang Ling's purpose
Just to make meals that are endlessly memorable, but it is always more satisfying to meet a close friend.
"If I remember correctly, you are Xiang Ling from Wan Min Tang, right?"
Xiangling nodded. "Well, Manager Xiao, it's me!"
"Old man, I have been working hard in Liyue for decades, ranging from delicacies from the mountains and seas to local snacks. I have also tasted different delicacies from the other six countries from various businessmen. From my point of view, it is as good as Liyue, oh, no
, the entire catering industry in Teyvat will also have a place for you in the future."
"Thank you, Manager Xiao, for your affirmation! So, are you satisfied?"
Just when the three of them were looking at Manager Xiao expectantly, he suddenly said: "No, Xiangling, your cooking skills are not bad, but you are still too young after all. To be honest, although these meals are delicious,
, it can be considered among the best among the meals I have eaten, but it is not enough to make me want to go back. Maybe in a few years, you can really reach that level, but it is still a little bit behind now."
Beidou looked at the last dish. This was the recipe given to them by Zhongli. Mr. Zhongli from the Hall of Life had always been synonymous with reliability. Maybe there was something special about this dish.
"General Manager Xiao, isn't this the last dish? Why don't you try it before talking about it?"
"Forget it, old man, I'll give it a try."
Manager Xiao picked up a piece of Tianshu meat, put it in his mouth, and chewed it carefully. The piece of meat melted in his mouth, like a pudding, stewed to a pulp.
The expression on Mr. Xiao's face gradually softened, as if he had freed his mind.
"This meat doesn't taste special, but it tastes really good. The most important thing is that it reminds me of something."
"What's going on? Grandpa?"
Manager Xiao looked at Xiao Mo with a smile: "Little guy, I see you have been staring at me eating for a long time. Are you hungry? Come and eat with grandpa. Grandpa will tell you slowly."
Manager Xiao smiled as he watched Zhong Mo enjoying his meal at the dining table, his thoughts gradually drifting away.
"When people get older, they can't help but recall the past. How many years ago was that? At that time, I was still young and determined to leave my hometown and pursue a career abroad. I was with me.
My brother, Xiaotian.”
"The weather was very good that day. Xiaotian and I agreed to leave a letter home, and we secretly escaped from the small mountain village where we were born."
"Unfortunately, the weather was unpredictable. Not long after we left, it started to rain heavily not long after walking on the road. Xiaotian and I were tortured by the rough road and weather, and even thought about retreating. After all, the young man
The gap between the sword-fighting Tianya imagined in my mind and reality is huge."
"It was our first time traveling far away, so we didn't have any plans. We only knew to rest when we were tired and eat when we were hungry. We didn't know how to save dry food and cover our heads before traveling, so we ended up at Liyue Port, which was still more than half a distance away.
By that time, we both ate all the dry food we had with us.”
"Fortunately, Xiaotian's martial arts skills are quite good. We were lucky and caught a wild boar in the forest. But none of us can cook, so Xiaotian just mixed the pork with some pure deer antlers and threw it into the pot.
It was simmered in it, and eventually it turned into a pot of rotten meat."
"Although the appearance is bad, the taste is surprisingly good. I think it may be the best meal I have ever eaten in my life. Although as a person reaches old age, he naturally knows that some memories are beautified in it, but
Today’s meat really reminds me of that meal.”
"It's a pity that later on, I became the director of Liyue's shipping department, and he became Liyue's Seven Stars. We both were in high positions and ate all kinds of delicacies, but we never had the chance to get together and have a stone pot meal like the young boys back then.
There’s rotten meat stewed in it…”
"Although the taste is different, the cooking method is almost the same. It's rare to have an aftertaste. I really should thank you."
"That's all, I will do what I say."
Manager Xiao took out two small boxes from his sleeves, and Zhong Mo looked at them curiously.
"Does this old man also have a cave? How did he hide the box?"
Manager Xiao said to Beidou: "Beidou, these two boxes contain the design drawings of the ship."
"It is no exaggeration to say that the one on the left will definitely be the largest and most luxurious warship in Liyue Port so far after completion. This is the reflection of my decades of experience in ship design and my confidence as the chief ship designer of Liyue.
.”
Beidou looked at the two boxes with interest, and then she asked Manager Xiao: "What about the box on the right? I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?"
"The one on the right can be said to be the embodiment of my dream as a ship designer. Every part of it is almost impossible to realize. It can be said that it has some dreamy colors. It may be difficult to achieve on the mainland.
If such a warship appears, if it is built, it will be the most incredible warship in all of Teyvat, but it is also almost impossible to build."
"Oh? Since you said so, Mr. Xiao, I believe that no captain in the world can refuse such a ship, right?"
Manager Xiao said seriously to Beidou: "I'm not kidding, [Dragon King], although the ship on the left is a little difficult to build, it is still the best among warships on the mainland, and the ship on the right may even be
It cannot be born in this world. I believe that as the captain of the largest Southern Cross fleet in Liyue and a businessman, you should know how to choose."
"To be honest, I didn't plan to take out this blueprint originally. It's just that I met a close friend today, so I showed it off to you, but I don't think you have the ability to make it come into being in this world.
.”
"Since the owl manager has said so, how else can I choose?"
Beidou grabbed the box on the right in front of Controller Xiao, held it in his hand and said.
"General Manager Xiao, don't worry, I will make you and your ship famous all over the world."
