Subsequently, the third, fourth, fifth, and so on chefs finished preparing the dishes and brought them up one by one.

The variety of delicious food dazzled Yingmei and Paimon, so they gave it scores of around 8-9 points.

Few people can get a score of 8 or higher from Zhongli, Ningguang, and Suhao. The reason is simple: all three of them are extremely picky eaters.

What delicacies hasn't Zhongli tasted over the past thousands of years?

Ningguang, on the other hand, lives a life of luxury. As the Ningguang of Tianquan, she has enjoyed all kinds of cuisines from different countries.

Su Hao? His takeout business started with Wanmintang! He also has Ella, a little maid who cooks for him! And there's Jiuqi Ren, whose cooking skills were praised by Xiangling.

Unless the dish is exceptionally amazing, it simply won't catch the eye of the three of them.

"Hehehe!!!! The food's here!!!!"

At that moment, a vibrant voice rang out.

Hu Tao made a grand entrance, carrying a dish that was very much her specialty.

"!!!!!!"

"!!!!!!"

When Su Hao and Zhong Li saw this dish, their heartbeats quickened slightly.

"Hey! Walnut!"

Paimon waved to Walnut, who seemed particularly pleased, and said, "You're here!! And what dish did you make?"

Paimon was initially quite worried about what kind of weird thing Walnut had made.

But looking at the rather exquisite dishes in her hands, she couldn't help but feel relieved, thinking that Su Hao must be lying to her.

The food made with walnuts isn't that scary at all.

"This one~" Hu Tao placed the dish on the table, put her hands on her hips, and said with considerable pride, "This is my improved version of my signature dish!"

"It's called 'The Ghostly March 2.0'!"

Chapter 251 Paimon: "Delicious!"

The Ghostly March 2.0?

When I heard this title.

Both Su Hao and Zhong Li's hearts skipped two beats.

Nothing more... Is this 2.0 an improved version, or just an "improved version"?

Has the toxicity decreased or increased?

As someone who has tasted walnut dishes.

And someone who personally witnessed her tasting walnut dishes.

Zhongli and Su Hao were both quite averse to eating this dish.

But here's the problem: if you don't eat it, you can't rate the walnuts, but if you do eat them...

Zhongli and Su Hao both fell silent, choosing not to speak.

Ningguang opened her fan, covering half of her face, and didn't say anything, because she was in Liyue.

She can detect almost anything that happens.

Although she had no idea that the mighty Yae no Miko, a member of the Thunder God's familiar, had been so overwhelmed by the walnut dish that she even dreamt of her ancestors beckoning to her.

But one thing Ningguang is certain of is that the food made by walnuts is enough to drive away evil spirits.

Although it sounds absurd, it is the truth. There are even vengeful spirits in Qingce Village who refuse to leave and have come to Qianyan Army to accuse Hu Tao of her cruel actions.

That means forcing them to eat the food she, Hu Tao, makes.

Originally, the vengeful spirits didn't care, thinking that eating something wouldn't hurt, since they were in a spirit state and couldn't eat food from living people.

The result was that he almost lost his soul. Although he was indeed a vengeful spirit, vengeful spirits also have the power of ghosts!

Therefore, he told Qianyan Jun about this, saying that he shouldn't let this little girl run wild—no, he should tell her not to step into the kitchen!! And not to cook that damn dish!

So Ningguang doesn't dare to eat the dishes made by Hu Tao now. You have to know how terrifying it is that even vengeful spirits almost had their souls scattered after eating the food.

She wouldn't dare gamble her life on that possibility.

So Ningguang is now thinking about whether she should put up a sign saying "Prohibited ingredients and walnuts are not allowed" when she holds the next food event.

Although it's a bit much, I still have to say something for the safety of the judges.

"smell good."

Meanwhile, Paimon was completely unaware of the impending danger. She took a deep breath of the aroma of the "Great March 2.0" and could clearly sense that it was a delicious meal!

Paimon, a food expert, felt that just from the aroma alone, he could give this dish a 9 out of 10!

Yes, just from the aroma alone, Paimon would give this dish a 9 out of 10; the fragrance is just too strong.

I really don't know how Walnut did it; it's truly astonishing.

For a moment, Paimon completely forgot the warnings from Su Hao, Jiuqi Ren, and others; she couldn't wait to eat the dish.

"Hmph! Paimon, you have a good eye!"

Hu Tao was very happy because someone finally acknowledged her cooking skills.

Although there have been many things going on at the Rebirth Hall in the past six months, Hu Tao, as the head of the Rebirth Hall, has been as busy as a spinning top, running around everywhere.

But this did not hinder her dedication to culinary arts. In the past six months, she has spent a total of about two and a half months studying cooking techniques.

In just two and a half months, Hu Tao successfully developed the Youyou Grand March 2.0, which she originally planned to give to Su Hao and the others first.

It turned out that the General Affairs Department had launched a food-themed event called "A Taste of Liyue".

This forced Hu Tao to suppress her joy at sharing and hide the dish.

Of course, good things should be shared with friends first!

Upon seeing that the judges were Su Hao, Zhong Li, Traveler, and Ning Guang, Hu Tao naturally chose her best dish.

A royal flush start! No holding back!

“Of course!” Paimon was quite proud, seemingly very confident in his identity as a gourmet.

But Ying was different; her expression showed some hesitation, because she could clearly sense it.

The three, who had previously been nonchalant about all kinds of dishes, were now somewhat intimidated by Hu Tao's cooking.

Out of friendship, Ying tagged Paimon in the chat group.

[Ying: "@Paimon, I suspect there's something wrong with this dish. Don't eat it yet. Let Su Hao and Zhong Li eat it."]

Zhong Li: "………………"

Su Hao: "?"

[Ella: "What's wrong? What happened?"]

[Ke Qing: "Vegetables? What's wrong with the vegetables?"]

[Gui Zhong: "Could it be Walnut's dish???"]

[Yae no Miko: "Hiss!!!! What?! That little girl's food?!"]

[Abedo: "Food made with walnuts? I've heard of it."]

[Abedo: "So, how did she pass the screening and get into the 'Taste of Liyue' event?"]

[Ke Qing: "Huh? Hu Tao was selected?! That can't be right."]

Klee: "Huh? What's wrong?"

[Hiruzen Kyuuki: "There must be rules for selection, right?"]

[Coral Palace Heart Sea: "The atmosphere at the event was a bit awkward; the four judges didn't even start eating right away."]

[Gui Zhong: "Of course there are rules. According to the General Affairs Department's regulations, you need to cook a dish on the spot. As long as it looks decent, you can basically pass the test."]

[Gui Zhong: "Hmm...wait, just cook a dish on the spot, as long as it looks decent? Nobody wants to try it?"]

Ke Qing: "No, it was a small event after all. The General Affairs Department was a bit lax, and besides, this event was strictly speaking a private one."

[Ke Qing: "If you really want to eat dishes made with walnuts, then it's practically a one-stop service."]

[Ying: "One-stop service?"]

[Su Hao: "We just ate, but the body was buried tonight."]

[Zhong Li: "Wang Sheng Tang is having a big sale! Today, you can enjoy a 30% discount."]

Wendy: "I'm actually quite curious, why don't you send some over so I can try it?"

Su Hao: "Okay!"

[Lei Movie: "Is it that scary? I'll try some too."]

[Raiden Shin: "No way!"]

[Eight-fold Divine Son: “Absolutely not!”]

Zhongli: "It's worth a try."

[King Ruoduo: "The way you're talking about it, I'm getting interested."]

Zhongli: "No."

[Lei Movie: "?"]

[Raiden Shin: "?"]

[The Great Tree King: "It's a pity I can't eat in my current state, otherwise I'd be quite curious about what kind of food this little girl named Walnut can create."]

Paimon: "I think you guys have a huge misunderstanding about Kurumi, even though her cooking wasn't that great before."

Paimon: "But people always improve, just like travelers who have just arrived in Mondstadt."

【fluorescent:"?"】

[Paimon: "She knew nothing at first and made a lot of mistakes, but hasn't she gotten back on the right track under my guidance?!"]
