Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Chapter 324 Crayfish

After leaving the Dust-Song Pot, they discovered that Aunt Ping was not nearby.

Seeing this, Ying put away the Chenge Pot and left Yujingtai with Huiyuan.

Arriving at the breakfast shop, they bought three servings of mozzarella meat, which they ate as they walked.

Seeing that they were heading in the direction of the Adventurers' Guild, Huiyuan asked, "Yingmei, are you going to accept a quest?"

"No, I wanted to ask Catherine where I could find the blueprints. I plan to find more blueprints to decorate the Dust Song Pot properly."

Upon hearing this, Huiyuan pondered for a moment.

"Then... I'll go get you some building materials."

Seeing that Huiyuan was so proactive, Ying and Paimeng readily agreed.

After splitting up, Hunyuan arrived at a familiar sea area, which was the site of the underwater missile silo construction.

After verifying her identity with the Qianyan soldiers dressed as fishermen around her, Huiyuan changed into a diving suit and plunged into the sea.

The infrastructure robots are working methodically, and the missile silo is already taking shape.

(Great, now I can reason with others. As the saying goes, if you can't win an argument, use your fist. What? You're threatening me? Go talk to my missiles! Hehe~ Now, let's go buy some building materials and find Ying to join us.)

Before we knew it, it was afternoon.

Inside the Dust Song Pot, Ying and Paimeng planned how to build their home, while Huiyuan quietly made furniture on the side.

"Traveler, I think the furniture here should be arranged like this."

"Hmm...is it a bit too crowded?"

"Oh, how about this?"

"But then it feels like something's missing."

"Uh... what should we do then?"

"Should we go ask A-Yuan for advice?"

"it is good."

Not long after, the two of them handed Huiyuan the new blueprints they had bought from Ayuan.

After glancing at the items above, Huiyuan continued to bury himself in construction.

And so, Ying and Paimon took charge of the arrangements, while Huiyuan was in charge of building the furniture, and construction began.

Several hours later, the Dust Song Pot finally looked quite presentable.

Paimon, looking disheveled, admired his and Ying's masterpiece, but was in high spirits.

"That way, when I go on quests with the traveler, we won't have to sleep outdoors without Huiyuan!"

"What? In your eyes, I'm just a convenient means of transportation and a big house? Little Paimon, I never thought... you were this kind of person."

"Ah, no! Yuanbao is a good friend, not some convenient tool, right, traveler?"

Seeing this, Ying knew perfectly well that Huiyuan was just teasing Paimon, and nodded casually.

"Hmm, how could my Barbie doll be a tool?"

When Ying compared Huiyuan to a Barbie doll, Huiyuan and Paimon were both stunned.

Stared at by both of them at the same time, Xie Ying scratched his head.

"Haha... I mean, Yuanbao is very cute, she's not a tool or anything."

Paimon nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.

Huiyuan was speechless, her heart filled with sorrow.

(Sister Tongzi! Give me back my reputation! Now Ying only uses the word "cute" to describe me!)

Silently wiping away her tears, Huiyuan turned her head away and changed the subject.

"I'm a little hungry. Where should we eat tonight?"

Paimon raised his hand and suggested, "Wanmintang, it's been a long time since I've tasted Xiangling's cooking, I'd like to go see her."

"Yingmei, what about you?"

"Paymont wants to go to the Hall of Ten Thousand People, so I'll go too."

With three votes in favor, they decided to leave immediately.

As soon as I entered Wanmintang, a fragrant aroma wafted over me.

Upon smelling the fragrance, Paimon couldn't help but drool.

"Wow, what's that smell? Xiangling, what are you cooking?"

"Paimon, Huiyuan, and Traveler, it's you guys. I'm cooking shrimp. I recently found a new variety of Jueyun chili pepper, which is three times spicier! There are a lot of shrimp that have been caught at the port recently, so I bought a pot to cook."

"Triple spicy?! Ugh... I can already feel my tongue turning red."

"Don't worry, Paimon, I only put in half of the Jueyun Chili, not the whole thing."

Upon hearing this, Ying silently began to calculate in her mind.

I put in half of the triple-spicy Yunnan chili peppers...

"Isn't that 1.5 times spicier?"

Upon hearing Ying's words, Xiangling proudly raised her head.

"That's exactly what I wanted, 1.5 times! By the way, you're here to eat, right? Perfect, I probably can't finish this pot, let's eat together."

Huiyuan walked to the pot, feeling that something was missing.

(Cilantro? No... Xiangling added other aromatic vegetables, so what's missing? I remember... when I ate crayfish before, there was something else in the plate with the crayfish... Oh right, it was baby potatoes!)

Suddenly realizing what was happening, Huiyuan turned around and patted Xiangling on the shoulder.

Looking back, Xiangling asked, puzzled, "What's wrong, Huiyuan?"

"Xiangling, have you considered putting some potatoes in to cook together?"

"Potatoes...right! Potatoes in spicy shrimp soup would definitely taste delicious! Thanks for reminding me, Huiyuan. Hehe...Paimon!"

Hearing Xiangling call his name, Paimon immediately straightened up.

"To!"

"Go, bring me some potatoes."

"Yes!"

After giving Paimon the instructions, Xiangling looked at Ying.

"Traveler!"

"Ah...me?"

"Go and buy some cheese; I need to make a dipping sauce."

"it is good."

Seeing Ying leave, Xiangling looked at Huiyuan again.

"Huiyuan, watch the pot for me. I suddenly thought of another ingredient. I'll be back in a bit."

"Ah, okay."

A few minutes later, everyone returned with their ingredients.

Xiangling rolled up her non-existent sleeves and began cooking at lightning speed.

"Lobster out of the pot, potatoes in, crispy rice, and fire!"

"Furnace! Furnace! Furnace—!"

"Next, let me see the dipping sauce..."

A large pot of shrimp was served in three large basins, and at a glance, it was impossible to count them all.

After preparing the dipping sauce, Xiangling put the lid on the pot, sat down on a stool, and ate the lobster with everyone.

"Guoba, no need to breathe fire anymore, come and eat shrimp."

At Xiangling's call, Guoba came running over, drooling.

"Lululu~"

With a slurp, three lobsters, shells and all, were sucked into the rice crust's mouth.

After fiddling around in its mouth a few times, it heard a "pop" sound, and the complete lobster shell was spat out, the meat gone.

Huiyuan was stunned when she saw this.

"Guoba, how do you separate the shell from the meat in your mouth? Can you teach me?"

"Furnace? Furnace, furnace. (First like this, then like this, then like this, and it'll be done...)"

Listening to this incoherent tutorial, Huiyuan scratched his head.

"Uh... never mind, I'll just stick to peeling them."

At this moment, Ying suddenly stuffed the peeled shrimp into Huiyuan's mouth.

Seeing Ying suddenly feed him, Huiyuan was at a loss for what to do before eating it.

"Mmm~ Mmm~ So delicious!"

Seeing Huiyuan's adorable performance, Ying's lips curled up slightly.

Lobster tastes better than this.
