Genjin: I don't want to fall in love with Yae Gongji

Chapter 273
Hearing Ying's words, Xiangling teased.

"Huh? Now I know how to flatter you."

Ke Qing also laughed out loud because of Xiang Ling's words, and then realized something.

"Look what I'm doing? Aren't you going to cook? Go quickly."

After hearing this, Ying and Xiangling left Yujingtai and went to Wanmin Hall.

Only Keqing was left alone in Yujingtai
……

I don't know how long it took, but when the two came back, they brought a spicy pork bun.

"We're back." Pamon said.

"Ying and I have finished our portions. Come on, enjoy it while it's hot."

"Then I'm welcome."

After Keqing finished speaking, she reached out to pick up one and tasted it. Just the first bite completely shocked Keqing.

"What's wrong? Why this expression?" Paimeng saw Keqing's shocked expression and said with concern.

"I……"

When Keqing said this, she was very clear in her heart, because this familiar taste and smell reminded her of the time when she played with her grandfather.

"I was rude just now, Xiangling, Traveler, thank you. This is the taste I want."

"It was delicious and...incredible, I felt like...back in time with my grandfather."

Hearing this, Xiangling was very happy.

"Really? Great!"

"I didn't have time to say it just now. In fact, when the master chef finished the recipe for me, I discovered that I have been able to cook this dish before."

"You mean you can make it before...can you make it without a recipe?" Paimon asked from the side.

"Well, dad taught me how to make this dish." Xiang Ling replied?

"But, didn't Ke Qing read this dish from her grandfather's notes?" Paimon was very confused about this.

"About this dish... I think my grandfather is not the original author of the recipe."

"My grandfather was a famous land tycoon in Liyue and also a scholar. He loved collecting ancient books and had a good understanding of many lost traditional cultures of Liyue."

"When I was a child, I often accompanied my grandfather to study in the study. I read many ancient books and discussed with him whether Emperor Rock King was a real person and how credible these ancient books were..."

"My grandfather said: [Books are just bridges, taking us to history. As for the things you ask about, they are the things that we, as descendants, should pursue and distinguish.]"

"After my grandfather passed away, I grew up and became one of the Seven Stars. Since then, the view of the Rock King Emperor has also changed from legend to reality."

"For me, the name Emperor Yanwang is sometimes associated with my grandfather's name. When I see Emperor's name, I always think of my grandfather... and those notes in his study."

"I copied the recipe for this dish from my grandfather's notes. It was an ancient dish that he wanted to try to recreate. Unfortunately, the recipe was not complete at the time and he never succeeded."

"So every time he makes this dish, he will let me taste it while it's hot... I really miss it, it's this kind of taste." Keqing explained the reason to everyone, while telling some things about her childhood.

"Ancient dish? Does this steamed bun have such a long history?" Paimon was a little confused about this.

When Xiangling heard this, she immediately explained, "My father also learned it from his father. It is said that this dish has been passed down from generation to generation and has been passed down in our family for a long time."

"Our family calls it Spicy Pork Wo Wo Tou! It's a folk side dish. It's easy to make and easy to carry. It's especially suitable for eating on the go."

"le~" Crispy Rice also made a sound at this time, as if he wanted to say something.

Xiangling turned around, looked at Guo Ba, and said with a smile, "Haha, I remembered it when I saw Guo Ba. The day I met Guo Ba, this was the dish I cooked!"

"Meet Guoba?" Keqing expressed doubts about this.

"Well, Guo Ba and I met in a cave. That day I went to the cave to hide from the rain and saw an offering table inside, so I put the spicy pork nest I brought with me on it..."

Having said this, Xiang Ling scratched her head. "Then I accidentally fell asleep, and when I woke up, I found that Guo Ba had eaten all the spicy pork buns. Since then, he has been following me and became my family."

Paimon seemed to have discovered something, and said to everyone.

"Hello? Don't worry about chatting. Look at that, that stone...!"

When everyone heard Paimon's words, they turned around and saw the huge stone in front of them emitting bursts of golden light, revealing the statue of the god inside.

"It exploded?!"

"This, this is...?!"

Keqing was also shocked by the stone statue in front of her, because the appearance of the stone statue was really unexpected.

"Isn't this a rice dumpling?"

Ying also felt a little incredible, because the statue was actually carved into a pot.

"Cookba? Why is it you!"

Xiangling was also surprised by this scene.

Guo Ba also raised his head at this time and looked at his stone statue, thoughtfully.

While everyone was shocked, Grandma Ping stood behind everyone and said.

"It seems that you have eaten spicy pork buns."

Hearing the voice coming from behind, everyone turned around, Xiang Ling even said hello.

"Master!"

"Grandma Ping! Look, look, this Kitchen God looks like a rice cake!" Paimeng said excitedly.

"Haha, yes, after all, Guo Ba is the Kitchen God you are looking for - [The Demon God of Stoves]."

"Guo Ba... Guo Ba is the devil?!" Paimon looked at the chubby Guo Ba and said in surprise.

The rest of the people also looked at the pot of their statue in front of them with incredible eyes.

Grandma Ping also walked over slowly at this time and said.

"You ask me if it's lively enough to wake up the Kitchen God. I have to say yes, but it's not."

"The Kitchen God has always been a people-friendly god who acts in accordance with people's wishes. For him, wishes and hard work are different things."

"Hard work is technology, talent, and experience, but only wish represents the purest power in people's hearts."

"The King of Kitchen Competition is exciting, but it involves more hard work than one wishes. Just hard work is not enough to wake up the sleeping Kitchen God."

"And the dish Keqing just ate was the fulfillment of her heart's wish. Apart from the answer, she also got a more important thing, a beautiful memory that made her feel like she was standing side by side with her grandfather."

Having said this, Grandma Ping raised her head and looked at the Kitchen God statue and continued talking.

"The tremendous power that erupts when this wish is fulfilled resonates with the Vesta statue, making the Vesta statue reappear in the world in its former form."

"Of course, the Kitchen God himself is definitely not in the statue. Who made the real Kitchen God be by everyone's side?"

After finishing speaking, Grandma Ping looked at the rice cake with a smile, with a trace of regret in her eyes.

"Lu!"

Guo Ba shook his head and made a sound at this time.

"How does it feel to see the god statue in his heyday? Look at him, he is still so majestic."

"In the heyday, wait, what happened to the crispy rice? Could it be that the crispy rice was different before?" Hearing what the master said, Xiangling felt a little puzzled.
