To the eternal you

Qi was making the Scarlet Cherry Cake, and after signing the contract with Morax, Ying's mother also mentioned that she would return to Daozuma in a few days.

So in order to hurry up, Qi is also preparing a farewell gift, like this time the mansion was actually arranged by Mr. Zhongli. Although the mansion is not big, it is like a sparrow, with all internal organs.

It is not far from the lively market, and is also very close to Yujingtai. The transportation is convenient and the soldiers of the Qianyan Army regularly patrol the streets, so it is safe and sound.

In other words, this is considered a very high-end residence in Liyue Port, where every inch of land is expensive. Naturally, Mr. Zhongli's kindness cannot be disappointed, so before leaving, the girl planned to give him some gifts.

Of course, this also includes Sister Gan Yu and Zhenjun Liuyun Borrowing the Wind. Although the Crane Immortal always felt a strange eagerness to look at him, it was because he moved to live in Liyue later.

She didn't meet that immortal very often, but she and her mother were living in the cave of Zhenjun Yuliuyun and borrowing the wind in the days before that, so they had to send a thank you gift.

Reconcile the dough, and the ice cubes that I asked Sister Ganyu to condense before also came in handy. Cover it with a cloth and put it aside for three to 10 minutes.

Then it is time to prepare the ingredients for the stuffing, fry the glutinous rice flour, fry the black sesame seeds and beat them into powder, and the cherry blossom sauce is also prepared in advance on the day you decide to leave.

Mix them together and toss them carefully to make the pastry dye cherry. Divide the pastry into three parts and roll it into a ox tongue shape. At the same time, take out the filling and prepare to wrap it in. When doing this step, Yingmama sneaked Sui's figure moved outside the kitchen.

"Pray... what are you doing delicious?"

Due to the betting agreement between Mother Ying and the general's younger sister, Mother Ying is not allowed to enter the kitchen for 500 years after the contract takes effect, so she can only watch from the sidelines, otherwise she must have come to help (make trouble).

Because of this, while staying in Liyue, apart from occasionally going out to eat with Mr. Zhongli, most of the time the girl cooks at home.

Fortunately, Qi's culinary skills have not diminished, but the dishes she knows how to cook have decreased, but it is still more than enough to feed Mama Ying, and she will not dislike the monotony of cooking.

Rather, as long as Qi is by your side, even if you give her a bowl of rice and sauce, she will happily eat it.

But having said that, Qi did a good job of collecting Liyue's recipes in order to expand her own cooking skills. Of course, she paid attention to bartering.

At the current stage of Liyue, although there are Wanmintang masters who are willing to provide her with recipes for free, there are also Xinyuexuan and Liuliting who ask for equivalent recipes in exchange.

It doesn't matter, after making and proving the deliciousness of the dishes on the spot, the other party also generously handed over Liyue's recipes to him, not worried about being taught the door-to-door dishes.

After all, these kinds of recipes are actually suitable for the tastes of the locals. It is difficult for foreigners to restore the original flavors. If the heavy oil and spicy dishes are copied, it may make Ying's mother flushed and sweaty.

"It's making Scarlet Cakes."

The girl raised her hair from her ears and delicately kneaded a half-moon-shaped coat with her small white hands, preparing for the next step.

"Then why do you want to make three, and who should one of them be given to?"

Mother Ying puffed her cheeks, as if she was quite concerned.

"These are gifts to thank everyone who took care of us."

"That means it's not for mom..."

She seemed to have become more depressed all of a sudden. Mother Ying was able to maintain her dignity very well sometimes, but most of the time, or since the separation of the generals, her character as the main body became much softer.

I also become sensitive and concerned about some small things, probably because I have lost too much in the past.

The girl put down the dishes in her hands, spread her arms and gently hugged Ying. Although she was not tall enough, with the support of the girl's tiptoes, the gap was slightly reduced by half a head.

With a hint of doting in her clear and bright eyes, she rubbed her mother's neck, and finally buried her on her chest.

"Hmm... Pray, what happened suddenly~"

The warm breath coming from his chest made Ying's mouth dry, and even the end of his words had a trembling sound.

"Hmph~ what is it, maybe I want to let my mother feel more at ease~?"

The slender and fragile heart of a girl hidden under the mature appearance was teased, and Ying hugged the girl's weak shoulders, feeling the tenderness of this moment.

"Pray, don't make me say it all the time... You know what's on my mind..."

"If you don't say it, no one will understand."

The girl in her arms said in a long tone, and then she raised her face with a smile as bright as a flower.

"Does mom want to know?"

There was a warm and soft touch in the hand, the heartbeat there was accelerating, the delicate face was slightly flushed, and the breath also had a hint of sweetness like cherry blossoms.

"Words in my heart..."

In the ambiguous warm halo under the eaves, the slender and tall figure lowered her head, and the long hair wearing the iris flower ornament slid down the girl's shoulders. The eyes that were indifferent in the past but were now covered by long eyelashes seemed to be enveloped Light water vapor.

Her breathing inevitably became heavier, and the look of biting her lips in hesitation and anticipation also fell into the girl's eyes.

"call--"

Qi kept his movements unchanged, facing the panting with a sense of struggle, and then softly whispered in his ear: "Maybe, mom will be scared away."

The lead of rationality was burnt out, and now Ying was completely seduced by her daughter's beauty, she hugged the girl closer, and the soft suet jade balls squeezed each other to form an excellent arc.

"Say, let's talk, I have a good psychological quality, and I won't be scared."

"I heard from Sister Ganyu that the moonlight in Liyue Harbor at night is very beautiful, do you want to see it together?"

"what?"

There was a feeling of being trampled on the toes, and after the daughter finished speaking, she blushed and pushed herself away, as if she said something but didn't say anything, it was hard to figure out.

In the end, it turned into a shy girl covering her face, faltering and whispering.

"There's one more thing I didn't say, if mom wants to eat the food I made, I'll keep making it for you when I get back."

The atmosphere, like honey and cotton candy, has never dissipated. Under Qi's busy back, it has gradually transformed into something else, wanting to know but not wanting to know.

Then, just keep it like this.

Next time... tell her what I want to say in my heart.

But that night, Qi did take her out together, and presented the Scarlet Cherry Cake to Ms. Gan Yu who had just returned from overtime work. After expressing her gratitude, she walked around the streets again, and finally saw Mr. Zhongli who was eating Huyan listening to books. The storyteller opened his fan.

"The last book said that in Liyue at that time, there were giant demons invading the sea, and evil chinchillas entrenched in the mountains. Emperor Yanwang summoned all the immortals to return the world to a bright and bright world."

"Legend, when the emperor set off on the expedition, he once said——"

He picked up a cup of hot tea, blew on the hot steam, and then sipped it, his amber eyes revealed a hint of memory.

"Mr. Zhongli, I invite you to eat the Scarlet Cherry Cake."

The soft and waxy girl's voice that was deliberately suppressed came from beside my ears. Looking back, the girl with a delicate face and a smile and Balzeb were looking at him.

He showed a gentle smile, and the original memory was interrupted, but it didn't make him feel unhappy. On the contrary, he asked the girl to sit down with Balzebu, and he also took the food box from the girl , Take out the fragrant, waxy and soft Scarlet Cake.

In the past stories told by the storyteller, slowly bite down the dessert that gradually becomes clear about the future, eat it whole and clean, taste the heart contained in it, and drink a sip of hot tea from time to time.

Should it be pleasant?

He looked into his heart and asked.

For Morax, the past has both a beautiful part and a heavy sad part. The good memories shine like gold, and the sad ones are hard to forget.

Like a continuous wind blowing over a rock, it will eventually leave traces as it brushes off the surface.

Although he also felt helpless about the wear and tear, but now he has a new understanding. During the time when he closed his eyes and meditated, the storyteller also left the scene in the next chapter.

The crowd that had originally gathered gradually dispersed, and Qi Heying's mother was sitting on the other side of the table. At this time, the girl tilted her head slightly and looked at Mr. Zhongli.

In fact, I deliberately disturbed Mr. Zhongli just now because I saw him seeming very lonely, that kind of nostalgia for something but difficult to return to the past, which made people feel a little distressed.

I hope my rudeness just now didn't make him angry.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long." Zhong Li turned his head to look at the girl, and then praised: "The taste is very good, and the dessert as tea is a must."

"It's fine if you like it~ Originally, I was a little worried whether it didn't suit your taste."

The girl replied with a calm smile.

"Different regions will change people's tastes, but the chef's intentions hidden in the cuisine will not change, not to mention the delicacy of the cuisine itself is not inferior."

Seeing that Morax seemed to be about to say something nice again, a certain mother who was stupid immediately stretched out her hand to stop it.

"After all, you and the other two immortals have taken care of you a lot. This is a little wish from Qi. Similarly, I also have a thank you gift for you, and I will give you the method of forging soldiers written by me."

Ying also took out a quaint book and put it on the table, with a menacing look that didn't look like giving a gift, but looking for faults.

"It seems that if I don't accept it, you will probably challenge me to a martial arts contest again."

After pondering for a moment, Zhong Li took the military book that recorded the method of smelting, and took out two finely carved amber rings from his bosom.

The texture is similar, and the color is brighter and brighter. What is even more commendable is the rock coat of arms printed with Morax.

"Then, this item will be used as a reward."

"Liyue's gate will be opened for you, and it should also be a commemoration of these days."

The girl and the shadow put away each other, and made an appointment to say goodbye tomorrow.

The next day, also in Jue Yun Jian, Qi Ye gave the Scarlet Cherry Cake to True Monarch Liuyun Borrowing Wind, Mother Ying gave her a book on the secret art of Yin-Yangliao, and Gan Yu gave her a It can be seen that Bao Yuntian has no good intentions for the grassy seeds.

However, Qi also secretly whispered a few words to Miss Gan Yu, touched her small horns a couple of times after seeing her flushed expression, and laughed softly when she saw her flustered appearance.

"Pray, it's time to go."

Shadow finished talking with Morax, and then opened a portal to the Eye of Ba.

"If there is anything, you can come to me again."

Morax looked at the two "children", one big and one small, and said softly.

"Goodbye by fate."

So far, Liyue's trip has come to an end temporarily.
