Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills
Chapter 22 A sumptuous dinner
After the conversation, Ying helped Xiaonan clean up the house and cleared out the room where the goods were stored. Ying and Guiyan would live here temporarily for the next few days.
After tidying up the room, it was getting dark. Ying had originally thought about walking around the city and looking for some commissions to make money, but seeing the situation, she had no choice but to give up.
After tidying up the room, Xiao Nan said she had something to do and left the house. Before leaving, she also took away the wooden box that she used to store the animal rice.
Since there was nothing to do, Ying picked up the iron pot and spatula and decided to prepare today's dinner first.
Fortunately, Xiaonan told her before leaving that she could use any ingredients in the house at will. It seemed that after seeing Ying's cooking skills, she was also looking forward to Ying preparing a sumptuous dinner for them.
After all, Ying is living under someone else's roof now, so she naturally can't eat and drink for free and do nothing. Moreover, Xiaonan's attitude also shows her trust in Ying and Guiyan.
Guiyan also knew how to cook some simple dishes, so she came over to help Ying.
Ying opened the cupboard in the kitchen and saw salt, soy sauce and other condiments inside. They were placed in the most conspicuous position in the cupboard, corresponding one by one to the condiment jars under the cupboard.
Further inside the cupboard there are some condiments such as chili peppers and peppercorns, followed by some flour and sesame oil. In the corner are some prepared sauces, which, judging from their colors, are spicy and heavy in taste. Ying did not touch those condiments for the time being.
“I don’t see any food.”
Ying looked around the kitchen and found a large box against the wall on her left, which was a place she couldn't see when she was sitting in the living room before.
There is a half-person-high ceramic jar next to the alley. After lifting the lid, I found that it was full of plump and crystal rice, and there was also a wooden spoon inside.
Ying first asked Guiyan to help wash the rice, and then opened the box. Before she could see clearly what was inside, she felt a chill coming towards her.
Looking closely, she discovered that there was actually a thin layer of ice in the box, and there were many bags inside. Ying picked up one, opened it and took a look, and discovered that it was filled with meat from various animals.
Most of it was pork, with chicken being the most common, followed by beef and some fish and shrimp. The variety was so rich that Ying was a little surprised.
She had heard Xiaonan say that they couldn't afford to buy a house before, and combined with what she had seen, she thought that their daily life was rather tight and they only rented a big house because there were so many people. She didn't expect that they had so much food reserves.
Ying put down the piece of meat in her hand and felt that the volume of the box was somewhat different from what it seemed. She fumbled around again and found that there was another layer at the bottom of the box.
There was also a chill on this floor, but it was much softer than the floor above and there was no ice. There were several kinds of vegetables and fungi, as well as several bottles of wine in glass bottles.
"This really is a refrigerator." Ying muttered to herself.
"There are so many delicious foods. You're worthy of living in a big city." Guiyan had already washed the rice. She came to Ying and saw the rich variety of food in the box.
"What is your village like?" Ying asked. She suddenly felt that the living environment in this world might be much better than she had imagined.
"Hmm~ There aren't so many delicious foods in the village. My favorite is egg pancakes. After they're done, you can eat them directly or cut them into strips and cook them into soup, hehe."
"During the festival, you can go to the town. There are many small stalls there. The things they sell are delicious, such as fried chicken skewers, grilled mushrooms, grilled fish..."
Guiyan recalled the past, and the smile on her face became more lively. Infected by her, Ying's mouth corners also curled up unconsciously.
At the same time, she was also convinced of one thing: although this world was dangerous, supplies were still sufficient.
"Okay! Let's get to work!" Ying clenched her fists and stretched her body. She took out the necessary ingredients from the "refrigerator" and processed them separately.
This process took her a long time. When the sun set and night fell, she finally finished processing all the ingredients.
"Next up, wild mushroom chicken skewers!"
Ying turned on the stove, skewered the cleaned mushrooms and marinated chicken together with bamboo sticks, and sprinkled a little bit of fine salt on them.
She had made this dish hundreds of times, so she didn't even need to wait for the pointer to appear. She could make ten skewers with just a thought.
Under Guiyan's admiring gaze, Ying placed the skewers on a porcelain plate and started cooking the next dish without stopping.
"The last dish, grilled tiger fish!"
Ying made some changes to this dish and prepared it according to the method that Keqing had used when she was in Teyvat. Instead of using fire, she used the element of lightning to blast it from the inside out.
The final grilled fish had a slightly charred skin, but the aroma was exceptionally rich. Perhaps elemental power played an unexpected role in cooking.
"If Paimon were here, would she say, 'Don't use elemental power for things like this!' Or would she say, 'Can elements even do such a thing?'?"
While cooking, Ying's thoughts were all over the place, and this idea suddenly popped into her mind. She even said it out loud when she wasn't paying attention.
"Who is Pai, Paimon?" Gui Yan's slightly nervous voice came. Ying saw her wiping her mouth and looking at the fish she had just grilled and asked.
"She is my best friend," Ying said simply, "She is my guide when I travel in Teyvat, but I usually say she is my emergency food."
"Hey, do you still eat people?"
"No, no, I was just joking. Because she always eats a lot, when I first introduced her to others, I said she was my emergency food and I planned to fatten her up before eating her."
As Ying was speaking, she suddenly heard the sound of a key turning at the door, followed by an unfamiliar male voice.
"Wow! It smells so good, Sanger, is that you? What delicious food have you made again?"
"It doesn't smell like something Sanger could make. Could it be that they made some money and bought a feast from a restaurant?"
The person who spoke later was a female voice, and she laughed twice after she finished speaking.
Ying realized that these two people should be the couple Xiaonan mentioned. She quickly put down the fish in her hand, untied her apron and walked over.
The two were changing their shoes, and when they saw Ying coming out of the kitchen, they both looked surprised.
Not only were they surprised, they were also a little wary. Ying felt their muscles tense up instantly.
"Who are you?" the woman asked in a deep voice.
"We are Xiaonan and Sangge's friends," Ying waved her hand, signaling them not to be nervous. "We just arrived in Linyuan City and haven't found a place to stay yet. Xiaonan agreed to let us stay here for a few days."
"Sanger's friend?" The man frowned and didn't seem to believe Ying's words immediately. Fortunately, at this time, Sanger's figure appeared outside the door.
"Hey! Why are all of you at the door?" Sanger grinned and raised his right hand holding a bottle of wine.
"I have bad news for you all. Senior Brother Zhao's patrol team is short of manpower. Starting tomorrow, I will be patrolling outside the city."
"Oh, have pity on me. I just came back from a reconnaissance mission and didn't make a penny. And I have to keep running around on patrol. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, this is life. It's so miserable~~~"
"No matter what you say today, you have to drink with me."
As he spoke, Sanger walked into the room, and suddenly sniffed sharply: "What smells so good?!"
"Hehe." Ying snorted with some pride, and brought everyone to the kitchen to show them the results of her labor.
In addition to the wild mushroom chicken skewers and grilled tiger fish mentioned above, Ying also made dishes such as Northland Apple Braised Meat, Qingce Farmhouse Vegetables, Lotus Seed Poultry Egg Custard, and finally a satisfying salad with six cups of Sunset Berry Tea.
The dishes on this table were quite sumptuous, and of course, Ying had spent a lot of effort on them, so she was confident that these dishes were better than those in most restaurants.
"This……"
"This……"
"I'll go, here..."
The couple and Sanger were a little stunned and couldn't speak for a while.
squeak-
The door was opened again, and Xiaonan finally went home.
"It smells so good. Why are you all in the restaurant? Is there anything delicious? Ah! Could it be that Ying made it..."
Xiao Nan, who came to the restaurant, was also stunned when he saw the food on the table.
"Is this a holiday?"
