Chapter 214 The Return of the Ancients, a Cooking Showdown

Jiang Yi and Barbara stayed near Qingquan Town for three days.

Avoiding fanatical fans and residents of Qingquan Town, he practiced in various aspects under the waterfall, in the woods, on the edge of the cliff.

Develop the Eye of God, develop swordsmanship, develop singing voice...exercise physical fitness and courage.

Finally, Jiang Yi's sharp ears heard Paimon's loud shouting.

"Hehe, the feast is here!" Jiang Yi's fingers turned into afterimages and burst the bubbles in the sky.

"Barbara, let's go back to Clear Springs!"

He waited for Barbara to finish singing the new song she was practicing, then he spread his wings of wind and jumped off the cliff with her, flying towards the residential buildings in Qingquan Town.

"Ancient people from three hundred years ago? Can humans live that long?"

At the door of Duraf, Paimon looked surprised.

In front of Ying and Xiangling, a hunter with cat ears was asking Duraf about his neighbors and friends.

Durav shook his head.

"What do you mean three hundred years ago?" Jiang Yi asked knowingly as he pulled Barbara over.

"You haven't returned to Mondstadt yet!" Paimon turned around and put his hands on his hips, surprised that Jiang Yi was still here.

She twirled her fingers and boasted, "Jiang Yi, you definitely don't know what we encountered along the way?"

"We ran to the border of Liyue and Mondstadt to collect food. We met a shivering hunter. Look! It's him!"

"We followed his words and entered a very cold ruins, fighting many Hillocks and slimes." Paimon jumped up in the air. "Along the way, we occasionally encountered large ice blocks that fell and knocked people unconscious."

"Ying rushed all the way with the invincible sword, and at the end of the ruins, he encountered a very tall and ferocious plant."

"That's called the Frost Tree!" Xiangling interrupted, "Although this ingredient is very dangerous, it's really a delicious treasure."

"Yes! It's the Frozen Tree!" Paimon remembered the name of the Frozen Tree and pointed at Jiang Yi, "It's the one in the photo in your room!"

"Xiangling is very powerful. She summoned a whirlwind of fire wheels. Guoba took a bite of chili and a bite of fire, roasting the frozen tree to death."

"We found a wild boar with strange patterns inside. According to the records in the Liyue Fengwuzhi, it has been extinct for three hundred years!"

"The book says that this wild boar was hunted to extinction because its meat was too delicious."

Paimon suddenly became knowledgeable.

Jiang Yi responded with a "hmm", and really wanted to ask, "Where is the wild boar?"

"Right! The focus is on him!" Paimon turned to look at the disappointed hunter, "This hunter named Olaf, according to Ying's speculation, is an ancient man from three hundred years ago! He was frozen in there with the wild boar and just escaped now."

"His name is indeed on the family tree." Dulav was also shocked by this. How could he suddenly meet a living ancestor?

"Could such a thing really happen?" Barbara asked Jiang Yi in a low voice.

Following Jiang Yi, all kinds of bizarre things happened one after another, which broadened her horizons.

"It's possible! Teyvat is magical after all!" Jiang Yi really wanted to capture Olaf and check his body, and then go to the ruins to study the ice element inside.

Freeze time, or freeze the vitality of life.

Such a coincidence...

If I could recover, I would probably freeze myself and send myself to the future.

In the long sleep and short awakening, we are looking for a prosperous civilization.

Even those who have incurable diseases today, or those who are about to die, can be frozen so that when the technology is capable in the future, they can be cured and...live a longer life.

Jiang Yi asked Ying about the location of the ruins.

"Jiang Yi, are you interested in watching my cooking showdown?" Xiang Ling invited, "I picked up two delicious things this time, the frozen tree and the wild boar."

"We'll use wild boar meat in the cooking duel. After the duel, we'll cook the frozen tree using your and my methods!"

"Very interested!" Jiang Yi nodded quickly. He had been waiting for Xiangling to say this in Qingquan Town for so long.

Then Xiangling invited Duraf, Olaf and Barbara.

The group temporarily put aside the matter of exploring Olaf's generation and what Duraf should call Olaf, and headed to the home of Brock, the chef in Qingquan Town.

We found a quiet and open competition venue together.

"Since it's a cooking competition, there should be judges!" Brock, who had brown hair, a sturdy build, a white top, and a yellow apron, looked at Xiangling.

"Who are you going to look for?" Xiangling was not afraid at all.

"Then let the chef from another world, Swordmaster of the Favonius, Mondstadt idol Miss Barbara, and the hunter chief of Clear Spring Town, Duraf, be the judges together." Brock originally wanted to include Olaf, but with four people there might be a tie, and she only wanted a clear winner in the cooking duel.

Olaf, she didn't know and couldn't trust.

Miss Barbara has always been honorable and not partial.

Even if Swordmaster of Favonius and Duraf were biased, they were on each side, maintaining relative fairness.

"Okay!" Xiangling agreed.

Brock pointed at the resident of Qingquan Town next to him and said, "This is Siegfriedia. She will serve as my deputy."

The brown-haired woman with a ponytail greeted everyone.

Xiang Ling glanced at Ying and said, "In that case, I choose Ying to be my deputy!"

"Both sides are so powerful!" Barbara accompanied Jiang Yi to sit at the judges' table and watched the two sides confronting each other.

The cooking showdown seems very interesting.

Jiang Yi showed a nostalgic look. He once had a duel with Eula like this at Amber's house.

"Although I have known Brock longer, I will judge impartially." Durafi put his hands on the table.

"Me too!" Jiang Yi nodded with a smile.

"Three, two, one..."

"Game start!"

Paimon clenched his fist and cheered for Ying and Xiangling.

Olaf's eyes were filled with a feeling that things had changed and people had changed.

“The culinary collision between Mondstadt and Liyue is really exciting!” Barbara clasped her hands together and prayed to the God of Wind.

Xiangling and Ying quickly made a fire and cut the pork.

"The steak needs some garnish. Cutting the white radish into shreds or dicing it into puree is very crisp and refreshing. It can also be used as a carved decoration. Ying, please help me wash a few white radishes. Make sure to wash them thoroughly."

Xiangling cut quickly, demonstrating the most basic knife skills in Liyue cooking, and processed the ingredients.

The sound of cutting vegetables was full of continuous and rhythmic beats.

Jiang Yi tried to use his hands as a knife.

Ying took the white radish and washed it carefully.

On the other side, Brock was not to be outdone, and together with Siegfriedia, he showed off Mond's best cooking skills.

"Is it so complicated? We used to just grill it and eat it!" Olaf looked at the two busy parties in confusion.

Times have changed!

"We will never lose if we use this piece of 'fresh tender meat that has just grown back from the injured wild boar king in the duel for territory' as the main dish!" Brock was full of fighting spirit.

Xiangling controlled the heat and cooked the main dish carefully.

"It's still a little far from perfect. I'll use anything nearby to add flavor. It can be anything flying in the sky or crawling on the ground. It can be an insect... or something jumping around."

"fluorescent!"

"Got it!" Ying washed the ingredients for the side dishes and ran to the woods to catch butterflies and frogs.

"Are they really going to put those things in there?" Barbara felt that Xiangling's cooking skills were unique when she first met her, but she didn't expect... that each time she cooked, she would find her cooking skills more unique than the last.

“Trust her instincts. She’s the best chef in Liyue Wanmin Hall!” Jiang Yi already had his chopsticks ready, waiting for both sides to serve their dishes.
