She gave him a sympathetic look, then turned back to the kitchen to continue her work.
"Ahem, Zhong Rui, don't pay attention to what my dad just said."
"Um..."
Zhong Rui felt vaguely that something was wrong, but he still believed in Xiang Ling's skills as a chef.
It's just that he seems to have forgotten something very important?
"Qiang Qiang! This is the new dish I have been researching for three days! Zhong Rui, please try it quickly!"
After following Xiangling to an empty table and sitting down, Zhong Rui watched her eagerly take out the food from the thermal lunch box.
It was a plate of milky white strips drizzled with red spicy oil and garnished with some mint.
Zhong Rui picked up a piece with chopsticks and looked at the rubber-like strip. There seemed to be some meat particles and other things inside?
Although it looks a bit strange from the outside, let’s try the taste first!
"Well!"
"How is it?! Is it delicious?!"
"The meat cubes are a bit woody. Are they made from ham? Because they have a salty taste, which conflicts with other things in the gel, huh? You also put raspberries in it?"
Xiangling took out a small notebook and started to take notes. Listening to Zhong Rui's evaluation of this dish, she nodded from time to time, thinking about ways to improve this dish.
"The flavors of raspberries and chili oil conflict too much. You may want to give people a brighter feeling and use fruit acid to relieve greasiness. But if this is the case, I recommend replacing the raspberries with cabbage. This can Ingredients that add texture.”
The moment the food entered his mouth, Zhong Rui remembered what he had forgotten.
That is, although Xiangling is a good cook, her curiosity about exploring food often leads her to make some strange dishes.
"If you don't want to give up raspberries, just subtract the meat, fill the gelatin with other fruits, then replace the spicy oil with iced milk, and add some sugar appropriately. It feels like it will be a good dessert."
"I see, thank you for your opinions! With these opinions, I feel like this dish can be turned into two dishes!"
Xiangling saw that Zhongrui didn't get angry about eating something unpleasant, so she decided to make him her friend!
"You're welcome. By the way, is this gelatinous slime gel?"
"Well, that's right! Well... I'm sorry, I didn't tell you before. You won't be angry, right? I promise you won't be poisoned if you eat these things!"
"Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with using this for cooking, as long as it's not made by Qiuqiu people or is made with Qiuqiu people's wooden sticks."
"Really! Then can I ask you to try dishes in the future?"
"...I would if I had the chance."
Chapter 48 The Assassination of the Rock God
"Delicious!!! This is so delicious!"
Xiangling ate the food made by Zhong Rui. This was a new food she had never seen before!
And the taste is impeccable!
He can actually make a light ingredient like tofu so delicious!
Spicy and salty! It’s impossible to stop spooning!
"As long as you like this Mapo Tofu, I've written down the recipe for you."
During this period of time, Zhong Rui didn't just practice alchemy, he even upgraded his daily life skills.
His current level 2 cooking skills are already at the level of a national treasure chef, and the next level up is the realm of fantasy like the Spirit of the Food Halberd and the Little Master of the God of Cooking.
There is no Mapo Tofu dish in the game, which makes Zhong Rui a little regretful.
After all, this is a very representative delicacy of Sichuan cuisine and one of his favorite dishes. It goes very well with rice!
"Zhong Rui, thank you so much! If you come to Wan Min Tang to eat in the future, I will give it to you for free!"
Xiangling held Zhong Rui's hand and looked excitedly at this best friend she had just met for less than a day!
Thank you Lord Yan! Today must be her lucky day! I actually met such a good friend!
"There's no need to pay for free. It's natural to pay for meals. I'm different from my ex. I don't like to keep accounts."
Zhong Rui declined Xiang Ling's reward. As the rock god, he could make Mo La at any time. In a sense, it was a kind of free prostitution.
And if Xiangling insisted on giving him a free meal, he would be embarrassed to come to Wanmintang to eat often.
"By the way, I'll give you the recipe. In your words, delicious food is for sharing, so you don't have to worry about it so much."
"Zhong Rui! My lifelong friend! You are so kind!"
Hearing this, Xiang Ling hugged Zhong Rui even more excitedly. His friend was too much for her!
When Master Mao in the kitchen saw his daughter hugging the young man, he couldn't help but swing the kitchen knife a little harder.
"By the way, I happen to have an appointment with Yun Jin this afternoon. Let me introduce you to..."
Just as Xiang Ling was speaking, the man next to him who was eating alone suddenly stood up, summoned a water blade in his hand and stabbed Zhong Rui, who was being held by Xiang Ling.
"careful!"
Hearing the movement behind him, Zhong Rui didn't even look back. The imaginary number square appeared out of thin air and trapped the assassin's arm.
"Huh?! Such ability! You are!"
Before the man could finish his words, the imaginary number square completely sealed him, then gathered into a palm-sized square and returned to Zhong Rui's hand.
"Interesting, you were obviously targeting me just now?"
The clear murderous intent on the other side was noticed by Zhong Rui when they were eating just now.
I thought he would follow me to a place where no one was around before taking action, but it turned out that the other party was even more impatient than I expected.
"Zhong Rui, are you okay?"
"Well, I'm fine. I'm sorry Xiang Ling, I almost got you involved."
Zhong Rui pretended to put the imaginary number cube into his pocket, but actually threw it into his alien space. He turned around and said to the startled diners.
"I'm sorry for scaring all the diners because of me. As an apology, I will pay for your consumption today."
"This young master is so polite!"
"We are fine, but you are not injured, right?"
Upon hearing the generous young master's treat, the diners showed their enthusiasm for Zhong Rui.
There were also a few well-dressed diners who looked at Zhong Rui's face and tried to identify him...
Soon one person remembered something, and quickly grabbed his accomplice who was about to come forward to talk, and shook his head slightly at him.
This young man is a distinguished guest of Yuheng Star, not a big shot that small businessmen like them can make friends with.
After leaving a large amount of mora, Zhong Rui hurriedly said goodbye to Xiang Ling, turned around and walked into a deserted alley, using space to move back home.
Taking out the imaginary number cube, Zhong Rui unlocked the seal inside and released the man who swung the knife at him in Wanmin Hall.
"The Abyss Order?"
Zhong Rui glanced at him, and then used the ability of the prompt system to accidentally discover his identity.
[Name: Si Lan]
[Race: Human (cursed)]
[Current favorability: -100 (until death)]
[Skills held: Water Element Mastery lv2 Torrent Swordsmanship lv2 Disguise lv2 Power of the Abyss lv2]
[Currently available beliefs: 0/month]
[Evaluation: The cursed apostle of the Abyss Cult, who disguised his identity and sneaked into the city in order to carry out His Highness's orders, is just an insignificant ant to you. 】
"Heavenly Reason!!!"
Si Lan, who had just regained his freedom, instantly shed his disguise and turned into a fighting posture, completely degenerating into a monster.
The body is wrapped in blue light armor, the wrists condense with dark blue water blades, and the armor shines with the light of the water element.
Just when it was about to rush towards Zhong Rui and swing its knife, its body strangely solidified in mid-air.
It's like stopping when hit.
Although he still retains the ability to think, his body cannot move at all, so he can only watch Zhong Rui observe himself with interest.
"Si Lan, I didn't expect that your Highness would actually send you here..."
"?!"
The originally furious Apostle of the Abyss felt as if someone had poured cold water on him, and a chill ran down his spine and rushed straight to his brain.
Why does he know his name? !
He even knows about His Highness!
Has he noticed their actions? ?
"I have to say that your Highness actually acted at this time, which is beyond my expectation."
"How on earth did you know?!"
Take the bait!
I just said it casually, but I didn’t expect that I actually caught a big fish~
Zhong Rui raised a smile on his lips, snapped his fingers, nailed its limbs with the Archon Spear, and looked at it condescendingly.
"Is there a possibility that the Abyss Cult has been under my surveillance from the very beginning?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"The reverse statue of Liyue, the Demon God of the Whirlpool, Tevalin of Mondstadt, the remnant soul of the North Wind Wolf King..."
"you!!!"
Si Lan looked at Zhong Rui in horror. He didn't understand why the Abyss Order's plan was exposed to him!
Is it true that as he said, the movements of the Abyss Religion have always been under his surveillance? !
But how did he do it!
"Judging from your reaction, it seems that my spy is disguising himself very well."
Zhong Rui smiled, watching Si Lan's expression gradually change from fear to anger.
If it hadn't been for today's assassination, he would have almost forgotten that the Fools were not the only ones causing trouble in Teyvat, but also the Abyss Order, a dangerous element that was an enemy of the Seven Kingdoms.
If the Fools are trying to collect God's Hearts for the Queen of Winter, they will do whatever it takes to plunge other countries into chaos.
The Abyss Cult is trying to make the Abyss submerge the throne of Tianli. To this end, they will do whatever it takes and have a hostile relationship with the Seven Kingdoms.
He had only tamed the Fools to be obedient in Liyue, but he had not prepared the means to deal with the Abyss Cult.
If I remember correctly, the Abyss Religion at this time was collecting demon-level combat power in an attempt to use it against the Seven Kingdoms and Heavenly Law in the future.
Mondstadt's wind dragon Tvarin, and Liyue's Osel who was sealed in Guyun Pavilion, these are the goals of the Abyss Order.
Seeing Zhong Rui who was ready to get to know him, the Abyss Apostle lying on the ground had resentment in his eyes. He didn't expect that there was a traitor within the cult!
"Okay, that's enough chit-chat, you're not far behind...who is that person!?"
A vague figure suddenly appeared from behind Zhong Rui, holding a long black knife and slashing hard at the space barrier set up by Zhong Rui.
Feeling that the restraints on its limbs suddenly disappeared, the Abyss Apostle immediately jumped out of the window to escape, and at the same time, an Archon Spear penetrated its chest.
However, the monster's inhuman constitution prevented it from falling. Hearing the sound of fighting behind him, Si Lan endured his injuries and got into the open fog door in front of him.
Zhong Rui looked at its back as it disappeared behind the fog door, removing the figure refracted by light elements.
With an intriguing smile on his face, he waved his hand to gather the fragments of the window together with the wind element.
The seeds of doubt have been planted by him. Will this be able to delay the Abyss Order's actions for a while?
Chapter 49 Mond: First of all, I didn’t mess with any of you!
"Your Highness, there are traitors in the Order..."
Si Lan desperately told the other party the final news. The dirty blood no longer flowed out of the empty chest, and the corpse lying in the hall turned into starlight and disappeared.
