Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

The debt collector bowed to D'Artagnan, indicating that the lady had arrived.

"Madam? What's this guy doing here at this hour?" D'Artagnan frowned, clearly displeased by her arrival.

Because the woman's way of doing things was completely different from his, they disliked each other.

If it weren't for the lady's loyalty to Her Majesty the Queen, D'Artagnan would have preferred to avoid her altogether.

"........."

The debt collector remained silent, because the lady hadn't told him anything, only that he should come and find the young master.

As his subordinate, he dared not utter a word about the specifics of the matter.

"Alright, alright, I thought I could relax a little longer." Seeing that his subordinate couldn't speak, Dadalia didn't press him further.

D'Artagnan looked down at the Liyue Food Festival with a hint of regret. He wanted to watch a little longer and see what these chefs could come up with.

Because the entire Liyue culinary competition has reached the final four, the final outcome will be decided soon, but unfortunately I won't be able to see the final result.

Although it was a pity, D'Artagnan left decisively, deciding to see what the lady wanted to do in Liyue Harbor.

Logically speaking, shouldn't the other side still be stationed in the Abyss, besieging Abyss monsters? How come they have time to come to Liyue Harbor?

And he himself was completely unaware of any such news.

Meanwhile, D'Artaglia had left on business, and the scene at the Liyue Food Festival was exceptionally lively.

In the final four, the four chefs must use the complete set of legendary cooking utensils to create three dishes.

After tasting the food, the four judges scored the three dishes.

As usual, whoever scores the highest will be the champion of this year's Liyue Culinary Delight competition.

These four chefs are Chef Li from Xinyuexuan, Chef Zhang from Liuliting, Chef Yanxiao from Wangshu Inn, and Chef Xiangling from Wanmintang.

The chefs who made it to the final four are undoubtedly very skilled in their cooking. They exchanged glances, their eyes revealing the competitive spirit that comes with being chefs.

Su Hao and Zhong Li were eagerly anticipating just how powerful the special effects of the food created using all the legendary kitchen utensils would be.

"Game start!"

With Ningguang's little secretary's voice, the semi-finals, or rather the grand finals, began.

Chef Yanxiao was the first to appear. He seemed extremely nervous, as this was his first time participating in such an event.

He kept telling himself to calm down, but he just couldn't calm down.

Yan Xiao, who was the first to appear, was momentarily flustered.

The other chefs were also quite surprised to see this. How could this chef, who had made it to the finals, suddenly underperform?!

"What's wrong with Yan Xiao?" Su Hao raised an eyebrow, looking at Yan Xiao with some surprise. He didn't expect her to make such a big mistake at this time.

He shouldn't be like this, given his skill level.

"Is the pressure too much?" Yingmei could also see that Yanxiao was a bit flustered, as if she didn't know what to do for a moment.

“No.” Zhongli shook his head slightly. He looked at Yan Xiao and said calmly, “The surrounding environment makes it impossible for him to calm down. This is his first time participating in this kind of activity.”

"It's normal to feel uncomfortable, but it's a bit of a shame."

Ningguang nodded slightly. If Yanxiao continued like this, even with the legendary cooking utensils, the food he created would inevitably have some flaws.

During the main competition, more than a dozen chefs proved this point with their own skills.

As judges, they couldn't say anything and could only wait quietly for the dishes to arrive, though they felt it was a bit of a pity.

Yan Xiao's culinary skills must have reached their peak to have made it to the finals. It's such a pity that someone with his culinary skills made a mistake at this point.

"Lulu~"

At this moment, Guoba made his appearance. He took short steps and came to Yanxiao's side to help him.

"Eh?"

The onlookers were all astonished by what they saw.

“This…” Ningguang’s secretary also looked at Ningguang, asking her what to do about this.

According to the rules, in Liyue, chefs can only prepare their own food.

If help is needed, it needs to be registered in advance, just like Xiangling brought Guoba, and other chefs brought their apprentices and assistants.

Unlike other chefs, Yan Xiao does all the work himself. When he's in a stable condition, these chores are just "easy" for him.

However, his condition was unstable at the moment, so his operation was naturally a bit distorted. But at this moment, Guoba rushed up to help him.

Ningguang then turned her gaze to Su Hao and asked, "Su Hao, what do you think?"

"Me?" Su Hao didn't expect Ningguang to ask for his opinion. He said, "As long as the two parties involved don't mind, then it's fine."

The two people involved here are chefs Yanxiao and Xiangling.

Yanxiao is the chef who is making delicious food, while Xiangling is in charge of the rice crust.

As long as the two of them don't mind, then neither he nor anyone else has anything to say.

Since the parties involved have all stated that it's nothing, others naturally have no right to say anything.

“Okay.” Ningguang nodded in agreement when she saw Su Hao say that, and then she looked at her little secretary.

Secretary Ningguang also heard these words. She nodded slightly and was just about to say something.

"I have no objection!" Xiangling jumped up to show that she had no objection, after all, Guoba was like family to her.

Although this family member had previously helped their competitor.

But who is Xiangling? She doesn't care about such trivial matters. As a chef, she naturally hopes that her competitors are in peak condition.

Even setting aside the competition, she knew how rare and precious the legendary kitchenware was.

If Yanxiao failed to create the dish she envisioned because of such a small matter, I believe anyone would feel regretful.

So Xiangling said she had no objection and even wanted to roll up her sleeves and go over to help Yanxiao with Guoba.

But she was quickly stopped by Qianyan Jun, because Guoba could pass through because he wasn't a chef.

Xiangling is a chef. She used to work with Yanxiao. So, who gets credit for the food she makes in the end?

"Thank you." Yan Xiao also gave Guoba and Xiangling a grateful smile, and the tension in his heart quietly dissipated a little.

Seeing this scene, Secretary Ningguang also showed a helpless expression and said, "It seems that I don't need to say anything more. Let the competition continue."

With the help of Guoba and Yanxiao's self-regulation, the three dishes were quickly prepared.

Seeing that he had completed his task, Guoba smiled and seemed quite happy. He skipped and hopped back to Xiangling's side.

Yan Xiao prepared three dishes: almond tofu, golden shrimp balls, and fairy jump over the wall.

First up was the almond tofu, which smelled wonderful as soon as it was served.

Moreover, this almond tofu is exquisitely shaped and has a color like solidified cream, resembling a masterpiece crafted by a master artisan, making one reluctant to pick up their chopsticks and taste it.

But in the end, Yingmei was the first to pick up her chopsticks. She was the first to taste it, and then her eyes widened.

At this moment, many memories surfaced in Ying's eyes—memories of the time she spent with her brother, the time she traveled with Paimon, and the time she spent in Liyue Harbor.

Numerous beautiful memories, like a beautiful dream, made Ying unable to resist immersing herself in them.

Before anyone knew it, tears started falling from Ying's eyes. She covered her mouth, her expression one of shock.

Those were tears of emotion; she never imagined that eating delicious food would make her cry.

Seeing this, Su Hao also started eating the almond tofu in front of him, and then many [non-existent memories] appeared in his eyes.

Yes, there is no memory. In his eyes, Ella and Black Ella serve him together. They are both alive and well without fighting or killing each other, making the scene seem exceptionally warm.

Zhongli and Ningguang also started eating at the same time as Su Hao, and they both showed expressions of shock.

Half a minute later, the four of them seemed to have come to their senses and sighed at the same time.

"It was all a beautiful dream." Zhongli sighed. In that short time, he felt like he had a dream, a beautiful dream he didn't want to wake up from.

“Yes.” Ningguang was also somewhat moved. She never expected that a seemingly ordinary almond tofu could be made into such a dish with the help of Yanxiao and the legendary kitchen utensils.

Ultimately, unsurprisingly, the almond tofu received 40 points, with everyone giving it a perfect score.

Next up are the Golden Shrimp Balls. Su Hao had previously promised Ke Qing that if anyone made this dish, he would send it to her.

Of course, he couldn't deliver it by himself, so he entrusted Zhongli and Ying to use the red envelope system together to secretly send the three golden shrimp balls to Keqing.

Afterwards, Su Hao and the others began to taste this delicacy.

It's delicious, absolutely delicious! It gives you an unprecedented sense of satisfaction, as if eating this golden shrimp ball has swept away all your previous fatigue.

It even gives people a sense of happiness, as if the dead would open their eyes again after eating this dish.

Ying and Su Hao gave it a very high rating, while Ningguang and Zhongli were completely unmoved by it.

Although this dish was very well made, there are still some issues to discuss.

Yan Xiao made a mistake earlier; he was a bit flustered during the frying process, which caused some of the finished products to burn, slightly ruining their delicious taste.

Although it was a very minor mistake, a mistake is a mistake.

Therefore, Zhongli and Ningguang both gave Yanxiao a score of nine, hoping that he would continue to work hard next time and not feel pressured anymore.

Finally, and this is the grand finale! Immortal Jumps Over the Wall!

After recovering, Yanxiao spent the most time and effort creating this dish. The failure of the Golden Shrimp Balls was also due to the overly complicated and tedious process of "Fairy Jumps Over the Wall".

But this final dish was something the four of them were really looking forward to.

Finally, Yan Xiao took a deep breath and opened the pot lid.

He knew that this was probably the best dish he had ever made in his culinary career, and that without the legendary kitchenware, he would never be able to create anything similar again.

As Yan Xiao lifted the pot lid, a dazzling golden light instantly illuminated the surroundings.

"This?!?!" Su Hao was also taken aback; the glowing dish actually appeared!

Chapter 258 The Taste of Liyue Comes to an End!

So dazzling!!!

It's so bright!
