Genshin Impact: Without the Eye of God, the Original Man Witnesses the Original

I enjoyed the food at Kinan Ryotei very much.

This is perfect folk cuisine, and it can be regarded as Inazuma's Manmintang.

"How is it? Is Inazuma's cooking to your taste?" asked the owner.

Jiang Yi affirmed: "Come more often next time."

After finishing their meal, he and Kamisato Ayaka continued to use the owner's private kitchen.

"Then I'll leave it to you..." Kamisato Ayaka stood aside, looking at Jiang Yi who had changed into the chef's uniform.

"My mother's notes mentioned that 'Tsubaki' likes exotic food. This time I'm going to meet 'Tsubaki', so I thought, maybe it would be a good idea to make an exotic dish for her..."

Jiang Yi prepared almonds, flour, butter, sugar and other ingredients.

This time, Kamisato Ayaka was looking at the list of exotic dishes and had difficulty making a choice, so she asked him to recommend a dish.

"If you want to give it as a gift, especially to a woman with a nice name, my favorite is... Liyue's dessert, Lotus Cake!"

"I have a special preservation method to keep the lotus cake in its most perfect taste after it is finished."

“It doesn’t change just because the box is sealed.”

He felt that only dishes that were elegant enough were worthy of the name "Tsubaki".

So, be very serious.

Lotus cake is a very difficult pastry for every chef to make, especially to achieve perfect quality. But for Jiang Yi, it is just the skill of an ordinary person.

Kamisato Ayaka seemed to be appreciating a smooth magic show, watching the simple ingredients transform into another shape, the flower buds blooming layer by layer under the perfect control of the oil temperature, as if time was condensed.

Place the finished lotus cake on the green lotus leaf, it is so beautiful that it is indistinguishable from the real thing.

This seems to have surpassed the skills of mortals.

It's more like the creation of mysterious magic.

But Jiang Yi didn't actually use any magic.

Jiang Yi brought the plate as if he was carrying a lotus pond.

Pink lotus flowers bloom on green lotus leaves which are also made of simple materials, like a summer scene.

"Let's eat this one!"

"After I get the clothes, I can make another one." Jiang Yi suggested.

"Okay!" Kamisato Ayaka looked at the lotus flowers and became a little impatient.

The exotic food is reflected in her grey-blue eyes, her long eyelashes flutter slightly, and she blows carefully, watching the petals sway gently, as if they have a life of their own.

Close your eyes and take a bite, the sweet fragrance will fill your lips and teeth.

Beautiful scenes of wind blowing, flowers blooming, flutes playing, birds flying... naturally appear in my mind.

"What an amazing dish!" The owner of Kinami Ryotei was also there. His name was Kinami Anna, and he exclaimed in amazement when he saw the lotus.

Jiang Yi handed over the chopsticks: "Please enjoy!"

As a thank you for letting him borrow his kitchen, he naturally didn't mind the other party coming to taste the food.

"Thank you! I'm welcome then." After spending some time together, Kinami Anna also discovered that Jiang Yi was not as scary as others said. Although he was powerful, he was a very humble person.

"It's delicious." She closed her eyes and tasted it, then praised excitedly, "It's simply the most incredible exotic food I've ever eaten."

"It's delicious and looks great... If it's used as a gift, anyone who has eaten it once will never forget it!" Kamisato Ayaka looked at Jiang Yi and gave his comment.

"I really wish we could have such a delicious dish in our restaurant..." Anna Kinami's eyes flashed with dreamy stars.

"If you want a recipe, that's fine!" Jiang Yi said with a smile. Some dishes cannot be learned by relying on recipes, and the spread of culture lies in communication.

"No, no, no! I'm just expressing my feelings casually. This is too precious. Moreover, as a chef, you may have to strive for your whole life to achieve such perfection!" Kinami Anna quickly waved her hands.

After seeing such perfect dishes, how could you have the nerve to sell your own clumsy imitations of other people’s dishes?

She refused firmly.

If it was an ordinary exotic dish she might agree, but this... let it be a perfect dream, this is what she feels as a chef after seeing the mountains.

"Linghua, do you want to learn?" Jiang Yi looked at Kamisato Linghua.

"Me?" Kamisato Ayaka said, "Is it possible? I have indeed thought about becoming a kitchen master who can cook cuisine from all over the world..."

"Then give it a try!" Jiang Yi said, "I'll teach you. It just so happens that I'm not good at Inazuma cuisine, so we can exchange cooking tips."

"Then you two can just learn from each other in the kitchen...I'm going to go look after the store." Kinami Anna blinked, said ambiguously, and left tactfully.

Just like in the morning, Kamisato Ayaka taught Jiang Yi flower arrangement, Jiang Yi was also teaching cooking very carefully at this moment.

It really is a hands-on teaching.

Kamisato Ayaka felt like a melting ice crystal.

I have never experienced this kind of feeling before. It is so beyond my normal life and it only appears in some Yaedo romance novels.

Do you want to go home and use tea leaves to predict your love fortune?

She thought so as she put on her apron.

"By the way, when I was trying to cook over there just now, were you chatting with the owner?" She suddenly remembered something, "Did she, did she say anything...about me?"

"You said you have no friends..." Jiang Yi's truthful words pierced Kamisato Ayaka's heart.

"Hehe!" Kamisato Ayaka wanted to shrink her head into the flour and turn herself into a fried lotus cake.

"She really did say that... woo..." She said in self-abandonment, "Yes, I don't have many friends, I know that too..."

"Only my family and subordinates are close to me. So, they will be shocked to see me shopping and eating with you... both to you and to me."

"Some people think we are friends, but others think this is just a hospitality from the Society Commissioner on behalf of the General."

It's not like she didn't hear the gossip around her.

The power that the community practices is to communicate with the gods. Some people say that it is great that the Kamisato family has chosen the right path and seems to have been blessed by two gods.

Poor Hiiragi and Kujo families who were being watched by the two gods...

Her brother received many invitations last night, all of which were to test the Kamisato family.

Jiang Yi put his finger on the forehead of Shenli Linghua who was lying in the flour and said, "Don't pay attention to other people's feelings and words."

"Kinami Anna is very happy that you found a friend to eat with... from the bottom of her heart. Many residents of this town feel the same way."

"Don't bother with those family members."

He consoled her, "You have no friends, but now I am your friend. Our friendship began with an alliance, and through communication and mutual understanding, it has transcended the alliance. Come to think of it, hasn't it been a long time?"

"Ying and Paimon are also your friends. Anyone I know can be your friend..."

“I can introduce them to you!”

Jiang Yi looked at Kamisato Ayaka, a noble lady who grew up in a famous Inazuma family and was a descendant of Inazuma culture, and who had the characteristics of Inazuma culture.

For Linghua, her true feelings always reveal a kind of...understanding of everything and everything that tends to be sad.

I also like poems that tend to be sad.

Just like the personality reflected in the flowers when arranging flowers in the morning.

Maple leaves, the shadow of the thunder and lightning general... In Jiang Yi's opinion, all of them have such characteristics, with sadness, so one often plays the flute alone, and the other takes "eternity" to the extreme.

It seems that Kamisato Ayaka's deepest nature also hides a sensitivity to gains and losses.

"I'm sorry... I lost my composure." Kamisato Ayaka raised her head, "Obviously..."

She enjoys and is happy with the current atmosphere.

Ying, Paimeng, Jiang Yi… She had clearly gained a lot.

She should cherish it.

Whether it is rare friendship or...heart and emotion beyond friendship.

Kamisato Ayaka held onto Yinyuan: "Keep teaching me...how to make lotus cakes."

"Yes! Lotus Pastry." Jiang Yi thought for a moment, "In some languages, 'Linghua Pastry' and 'Lotus Pastry' seem to be related!"

"Hmm?" Kamisato Ayaka asked in confusion.

Jiang Yi smiled.

The two spent the whole afternoon making "Lotus Cake". Before leaving, they left this precious recipe as a thank you to Anna Kinan.

No need to eat dinner, because snacks are enough to fill you up.

"In order not to waste food, you ate all the strange 'lotus cakes' I made..." Shenli Linghua looked at Jiang Yi, "Are you really okay?"

"Don't underestimate me! If there is a ranking of the weirdest foods I've eaten, yours won't make the list at all!" Jiang Yi said, "The kind of food that makes people feel like their souls are leaving their bodies after eating it is the truly terrifying one!"

He thought of the Youyou March.

"Terrible food that can make the soul leave the body?" Kamisato Ayaka covered her mouth in surprise. It was hard to imagine the food Jiang Yi described...was it a delicacy or an overly horrible poison.

"It was the ghost who helped knead the dough..." Jiang Yi described a real "strange cooking competition list" that Kamisato Ayaka had never seen before.

The barbecued meat was full of the flavor of freedom and was burnt black and sparkling; the magical vegetable soup was cooked by a real witch and had too much salt added accidentally; the wonderful meal was so imaginative that nothing in the sky, on the ground or in the sea could escape it...

They chatted as they walked and returned to the small warehouse.

"Ms. Kamisato, here is your custom-made kimono. It is really a lovely piece of clothing. We enjoyed making it and have folded it and put it in a gift box for you. Mr. Jiang, your clothes are also ready. Would you like to try them on?" asked the owner, Mio Ogura.

"No need." Jiang Yi responded.

Ogura Mio didn't force it, and took out another small gift box, "Also... Miss Kamisato, the item you specially arranged has also been completed!"

"Thank you very much!" Kamisato Ayaka took the box.

"Jiang Yi, this one is for you!" She opened it and took a look, then closed the box and handed it to Jiang Yi, "Wear this when you put on your clothes for the festival!"

"What is it?" Jiang Yi asked.

"Hmm - a hairpin made with the egret theme can be used as a hair accessory or as a decoration." Kamisato Ayaka looked at Jiang Yi, "If you don't know how... I... will help you on that day..."

Ogura Mio's gossipy heart was burning. Could it be that Miss Kamisato was preparing clothes and hairpins, planning to go on a date with Mr. Jiang on the day of the festival?

Come to think of it, Miss Kamisato seems to have never appeared in the festival!

Jiang Yi opened the box and looked at the beautiful hairpin inside, which was too high-end and contained a girl's heart.

Egret...

He thought about it and took off the jade pendant from his waist. This was the cold jade condensed from the ice of the North Wind Wolf King.

“I’ll give this to you!”

"This is the frost and cold wind of the 'free' country... the reward I received for my first challenge to the trial set by the demon god."

Jiang Yi held Kamisato Ayaka's hand and gave her the extremely cold jade pendant which looked warm on the outside but contained a huge amount of ice elements on the inside.

Ogura Mio was excited watching this scene.

She has often seen cases where one party gives a gift but the other party has no idea of ​​the gift’s meaning, wasting the thought.

This scene at this moment is really rare.

The meaning represented by the hairpin and jade is really thought-provoking!

I hope that when they see each other’s gifts, they can remember each other...so that this bond will not be in vain.
