Original God Zhongli BG Xiao Qinglong traveled through time

Chapter 125 Night Comes

After returning to the room and packing up, I came out and found that there was already a bright moon hanging high in the night sky. On the terrace, by the railing, two men were sitting at the table, each holding a glass of wine, swaying leisurely, waiting. When they heard the noise, they turned their heads to look at them and smiled slightly.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Ah Huan, and Xiao Qi... please take a seat." Hu Xingzhi stood up and moved the seat next to him to invite Lin Huan and Ye Qi to sit down. "You've come just in time, the kitchen has already started preparing the dishes. As you know, Chef Su is personally preparing the dishes, Xiao Qi, you're in for a treat tonight!"

"Oh, that's good." Lin Huan and the beautiful girl smiled at each other, waiting with great interest for the dishes to be served on the table one by one.

Indeed, in recent years, the two major cuisines of Xinyuexuan and Liuliting have been at loggerheads, and have reached a white-hot stage. The vicious competition has made their peers like candles in the wind, struggling to survive in the cracks, and have to find another way to avoid their sharp edge. This is even more true for Chef Su of Wangshu Inn. He hates the greed and monopoly of the two major traditional Liyue cuisines for precious ingredients, which has led to a chaotic catering industry... So he naturally accepted the invitation of the then owner of Wangshu Inn and served as the chef in the second-floor kitchen, choosing to leave this place of right and wrong and not wade into the muddy water in Liyue Harbor. Chef Su has superb cooking skills and comes from a famous family. He has dabbled in both cuisines, can integrate them, and has his own unique insights and improvements. The ingredients he chooses are eclectic, mostly home-cooked ingredients, but the dishes cooked by him are rich in taste and can be called fine products. Perhaps, they are not worse than the two major restaurants in Liyue Harbor.

Rong Zhao laughed softly at the side.

"Xingzhi and brother often chose this place to meet before. They are envious of Chef Su's cooking, right?"

Hu Xingzhi smiled, "There's nothing to hide. It's true. After all, that guy's craftsmanship is pretty good."

"Are Brother Xingzhi and Chef Su familiar with each other?" Lin Huan asked quietly. She didn't often have the pleasure of tasting the dishes cooked by Chef Su himself. It seemed that the last time was during the Lantern Festival when she was injured and recuperating in Wangshu Inn. She had a night banquet on the rooftop of Wangshu Inn with her husband, father, Ganyu and Xiao. Her father said that he had invited a chef, but she never expected that the chef's background was so great.

"It's not me who is familiar with him." Hu Xingzhi shook his head and said to Lin Huan, "It's that guy Boyang! He and Lao Su are close friends regardless of age difference... Ah Huan, you may be able to guess it..."

"Is that so..." Lin Huan was stunned and nodded slightly. "I understand."

The cool breeze in the evening was refreshing and pleasant. After chatting, the food was already on the table. The three adults drank and chatted, which made them closer to each other. The only child present could not wait to concentrate on enjoying the belated delicacy.

While Lin Huan was drinking with his two brothers, he turned his head to observe the little girl sitting next to him who was eating with gusto. He couldn't help laughing. She had done a lot of exercise today and it seemed that she was really hungry.

"Xiao Qi, don't worry, eat slowly, no one will snatch the food from you." Hu Xingzhi consoled her with a smile. After filling her bowl with soup, he raised his hand and drank up the wine in the glass with a heroic demeanor.

Ye Qi nodded and continued to eat. However, as she ate, she looked very satisfied just now, but now she frowned and looked troubled, as if she had encountered some problem.

When the three adults saw this, they put down their wine glasses and looked at her with some confusion.

After a long while, Ye Qi put down her chopsticks and said with disappointment, "What a pity..."

"Hmm, what's up?"

Ye Qi shook her little head and muttered listlessly: "Nothing, but unfortunately I can't eat anymore, my stomach is so full..."

"Haha..." Hu Xingzhi laughed unabashedly, patted her shoulder gently, and said jokingly, "Xiaoqi, you are so cute, you are really our happy pill!"

"Hmph~ Uncle Xingzhi always loves to tease me!" Ye Qi put her hands on her hips and whined angrily.

Lin Huan stroked his forehead helplessly, "Xingzhi, stop talking nonsense."

Hu Xingzhi shrugged, but didn't dare to tease anymore. However, the adults looked at each other and couldn't help laughing at the same time.

Ye Qi immediately glared at Hu Xingzhi with shame and anger. Then she sat back in her seat somewhat dejectedly, leaning against the elder beside her, rubbing her eyes, and seemed to be a little sleepy.

Lin Huan touched her head and soothed her softly, "Okay, Xiaoqi, you're full, right? Sit for a while and go back to your room to rest, ok?"

Ye Qi nodded obediently, "Then... Uncle Xingzhi, Second Uncle, Aunt... I'm going back to my room, you guys should also go to bed early, see you tomorrow."

"Haha, okay, see you tomorrow." The three adults agreed in unison.

"Then...good night." Ye Qi stood up, waved, and skipped away.

Watching the girl's back disappear into the darkness around the corner, the three adults returned to their previous relaxed and happy state, raised their glasses and drank together, having a great time.

The next morning, everyone simply washed and packed up, then rode north on horseback.

There were laughter and joy all along the way, the atmosphere was very good, and the scenery was beautiful. Compared with yesterday, the speed of travel today was indeed a little slower, but this did not hinder everyone's interest in sightseeing. On the contrary, they felt particularly leisurely. They did not want to hurry, but walked slowly, bathing in the cool sunlight, immersed in the beauty of the mountain trails and bamboo forests.
