Chapter 451: Chicken Tofu, the owner of the Eye of God who put everything aside

Jiang Yi and Jiang Xue went to the inn and, with the innkeeper's congratulations, borrowed the kitchen.

"Why are you so sad?" Jiang Xue looked at Yan Xiao, "I'll give you one share with the shopkeeper and the other bosses. Help us cook some fried pork for free, and add two more dishes!"

Yan Xiao looked at Jiang Xue who ate for free every day and said, "What's there to be happy about? I'm about to be kicked out by the boss."

"What's going on?" Jiang Xue asked puzzledly.

"The shopkeeper asked me to make some new dishes to attract customers. These new dishes should be attractive, taste good, be grand, show my craftsmanship, and have style."

"I spent seven or eight days thinking about it in the kitchen, trying my best to come up with candied colorful flowers, stewed duck with lotus seeds, stewed crab meat with crab paste... I cooked a lot of dishes, but the shopkeeper was not satisfied with any of them and asked me to keep thinking." Yan Xiao said distressedly, "But I really can't think of anything."

"You guys should cook the fish yourselves! I still need to figure it out."

Jiang Xue finally understood why Tian Yanxiao had been so cold towards him that he didn't even prepare any food for him.

"These requests, the shopkeeper, are asking you to make a unique dish that should not exist in the world." He pulled Jiang Yi out, "Although I can't cook, I know a recipe for a unique dish."

"When I was traveling abroad, I happened to eat a unique dish called 'chicken tofu pudding' in a wealthy family's home."

"This dish has very high requirements. According to the chef who developed the recipe, there are only a handful of people in the world who can make it, so it's okay for me to copy the recipe."

"It requires the chef to be not only proficient in cooking, but also proficient in swordsmanship."

"I remember that Brother Jiang Yi has a reputation as a chef from another world, and his swordsmanship is also very strong. Let him help, and I guarantee that this dish can be used to satisfy the shopkeeper."

"Anyway, the shopkeeper just asked you to come up with a new dish. It doesn't matter who makes it."

"Hmm! It seems to work!" Yan Xiao sneered, "But what kind of cooking requires swordplay? My knife skills are not good enough?"

"No! No!"

"This dish tastes like meat but you can't see the meat. It tastes as tender as tofu pudding, yet has a rich meaty aroma and is extremely delicious. It uses meat to support vegetables." Jiang Xue recalled the unforgettable memories of eating this dish and talked about it in detail.

"If I use your knife skills to mince the meat, I'm afraid that the chopping board will be broken into two pieces before the meat is minced."

Yan Xiao hugged his chest and snorted.

Jiang Yi looked curious. As a foodie, he was naturally interested in hearing about the exotic dishes. He was about to return to Mondstadt, so it wouldn't hurt to learn a little. He could then invite his friends to dinner and show off the cooking skills he learned in Liyue.

"This 'chicken tofu pudding' is very particular, but the ingredients only need to be common ingredients, such as poultry, ham, bird eggs and snapdragons."

"The key is to mince the meat. You need to control the knife with exquisite swordsmanship. First, use the blade to remove the tendons and veins, chop the meat into paste, and then use the back of the knife to beat it into mince. Then do this..." Jiang Xue said the recipe.

"Okay! You guys make the dish, and I'll help you grill the fish. I won't take my share. I'll use two big fish, fry, deep-fry, and boil... cook a large table full of them, and give some to the shopkeeper and the boss." Yan Xiao gave Jiang Yi an apron.

"If successful, I'll give you a portion of the candied colorful flowers, stewed duck with lotus seeds, and stewed crab meat with crab paste that I've been researching these days."

Jiang Yi went downstairs and informed Mona, Ying and Paimeng, asking them to wait and rest for a night at Wangshu Inn before going to Mondstadt.

When he heard that there was food to eat, Paimon agreed with both hands.

Mona left a golden crab for Jiang Yi as compensation for the golden shrimp ball he gave her. She was very principled.

"We used teleportation to save the journey back to the original place. It's fine to stay here for one night."

“I go stargazing at night.”

She couldn't afford to stay in an inn because she had no money in her wallet.

Jiang Yi saw through the other person's thoughts at a glance and told Ying directly to let Ying live with Mona at night.

Ying nodded naturally.

A group of people went upstairs to watch Jiang Yi cook.

At this moment, lunch time has passed, so the kitchen is not busy and is quite free.

"To control the sword with sword skills..." With the accumulation of dreams, Jiang Yi has actually mastered half of the martial arts. He knows archery, boxing, stick fighting, knife fighting, sword fighting... In fact, he knows all of them.

Following the recipe quickly, Ying helped to stew a pot of broth with ham and snapdragon, and strained it carefully.

Then use moderate heat to cook the minced meat with broth.

It took a few hours to make.

Mona felt that today was very dreamy. She felt like she was spending the whole day eating a big meal or waiting to eat a big meal.

"Is this their normal life? This is too depraved!"

"As an astrologer, you must not get involved in such corruption. Simple, simple... a simple life is healthy."

After making a lot of mental preparations, and after being invited again and again by Jiang Yi and Ying, Mona looked up at the 'Double Dragons Playing with a Pearl' set meal, which included stewed crab meat with crab roe, candied colorful flowers, stewed duck with lotus seeds... and the unique dish 'Chicken Tofu Pudding' that was approved by the shopkeeper.

Swallowed carefully.

The fake dragon, also known as the dragon meat in the water, is really delicious. The two fake dragons have different tastes, but they are both excellent.

The lion's head melts in your mouth, the soup is rich and fragrant, and with the crab roe, it is extremely delicious.

The neon flowers and the old duck soup at the back are both delicious.

The chicken tofu pudding was just as Jiang Xue had advertised, and it was indeed a unique dish. Jiang Yi had completely recreated the taste of 'eating meat without seeing the meat'.

"Back then, I practiced swordplay like crazy and thought this recipe was a set of sword techniques." After Jiang Xue had eaten and drunk her fill, she couldn't help but talk about the past.

"Everyone is a young talent, except this cook." He smiled and pointed at Yan Xiao.

"I was once blessed by the world and possessed the Eye of God. Now, I put it away and am too lazy to use it. I am grateful to the shopkeeper for taking me in. I have been able to live a leisurely life."

"Huh?" Ying and Paimon were surprised, "Why put it away?"

"Because I have done what I should do, I practice sword skills to seek justice. After getting justice, I have nothing else to ask for. I won't swing the sword anymore, and I don't have any other strengths... I am ready to spend the rest of my life here." Jiang Xue smiled calmly.

"As for the Eye of God, I used this power to do something wrong. I am not worthy of using it anymore, and I don't need it anymore. Now, with the Eye of God taken away, I can barely still sense the elements." He shook his head, thinking of Jiang Yi trapping the fake dragon. The water elements between heaven and earth cheered in his spirit and gathered towards Jiang Yi.

It’s really like... the new wave pushes the old wave forward!

"You all have more meaningful things to do, so don't follow my example." Jiang Xue raised her drink and drank it all.

Beside him, Jiang Yi stroked his chin and looked at Jiang Xue. He suddenly remembered that half a year ago, when Jiang Xue killed the Relic Hunter, was he really just using simple martial arts?

Unfortunately, it’s not easy to ask now.

At that time, he could not sense the elements. Looking back now, he always felt that something was wrong.

I took a bite of food silently, and then I gave up.

Anyway, the reward of refining the sword into silk has been obtained, so there is no point in exploring how the other party killed the relic hunter.

"Heh!" Yan Xiao looked at Jiang Xue like this and remembered that he had just said that the young heroes excluded himself.

"Since you said you have no other skills besides swordplay, then pull out your sword tomorrow and I'll teach you how to chop meat."

"Lest you, a young man, starve to death without the skills to make a living."

"If you don't want to, don't come here to eat and drink for free tomorrow."

Jiang Xue was speechless for a moment.

Jiang Yi and Ying chuckled. This last meal in Liyue was filled with a happy atmosphere.
