Genshin Impact: Reincarnation as a Hilichurl

Ganyu stood on the wing corner of the Three Bowls Port and had a clear view of the synthesis platform behind Ying and Zhongli. She also saw Xiangling and a masked and black cloaked boy going back and forth several times.

That’s right, she had been eating Sanwan Buguo for quite some time, and she had seen the two people’s strange behavior the whole time.

It was unfortunate that she had just arrived when the blond traveler and the guest from the Hall of Rebirth had just sat down to eat. It was not a good idea to interrupt their meal, so she waited silently in the dark for the right opportunity.

But these three bowls were just dinner time when Hong Kong was doing a booming business. The aroma made her a little dizzy, but suddenly a fresh smell pulled her out of her predicament.

She closed her eyes and concentrated on feeling it - it was mint. She then searched for the source based on the smell. It was Xiangling and an unfamiliar boy who were carrying a large bag of fresh mint coming from the direction of Wanmin Hall. They went to the synthesis table to make some potion and then returned.

Xiangling is Granny Ping's apprentice and a famous chef in Liyue Harbor.

But now she doesn't dare to go near Xiangling's Wanmin Hall... because the food is so delicious, it is difficult to control her appetite. Last time, she found that Xiangling always gave her two more spoonfuls of food than she gave others... this made things even more difficult.

Xiangling had good intentions, so she couldn't refuse. However, eating too much was a big taboo for controlling weight and maintaining body shape, so she could only bear the pain... and try not to go.

Ganyu was daydreaming while smelling the mint to resist the temptation of the aroma of food.

Then Xiangling and the young man passed by Sanwanbuguogang again, and this time they were carrying onions.

onion?

Then there were the Jueyun peppers... mint, onion, and Jueyun peppers, all of which were stimulating foods. Especially such a large amount of Jueyun peppers, it really made Ganyu a little worried.

When I went back to visit Master Liuyun Jiefeng a few days ago, he just mentioned that Xiangling wanted to eat Yunlai's giant octopus raw last time. Yaoyao was afraid that she would get an upset stomach, so she asked Grandma Ping to persuade her.

This story spread from Yaoyao to Grandma Ping, and from Grandma Ping to Master Liuyunjiefeng, and then spread among the immortals. Only then did Ganyu know that Xiangling was not only an excellent cook, but also an expert in making strange dishes...

Just when she was curious about what Xiangling was going to do, the storyteller from Sanwanbuguogang told the story of Ningguang, and both the blond traveler and the guest official of Wangshengtang were attracted.

This is a good opportunity to make an appearance... It will give people a feeling of saying Ningguang, Ningguang, here she comes, huh!

Ganyu appeared, and after revealing her identity to the blonde traveler, her flying companion indeed mentioned "Speaking of Ningguang, Ningguang's messenger has arrived", and it was worth it for her to hide behind the scenes and endure the temptation of delicious food for so long.

During the conversation, Xiangling and the young man left with the apples.

Apples, well, are very good food.

I’m hungry and want to eat… Ganyu’s nose twitched involuntarily.

No, no, focus on your work!

"Miss Ningguang said: 'Please ask her to come. I want to see her in the Qun Yu Pavilion. I will... cough.'"

Xiangling and the young man came again, and this time they brought a lot of sweet flowers that smelled very fresh!

Gan Yu simply closed her eyes and continued, "'In the Jade Pavilion, I will accompany her to cut off the complicated undercurrents one by one.'"

After she finished saying this, she was almost swallowed by hunger. Only she knew that she almost said one sweet flower after another...

I can't stay here any longer, or my stomach will start to growl...

After making a judgment and confirming that Ningguang had said everything she wanted to say, Ganyu hurried away.

In fact, she didn't go far, she went straight to the synthesis platform.

"Ganyu! Why don't you come to my house for dinner recently? Is it because the food you cooked last time was not good?"

"No, no!" Gan Yu waved her hands hastily, and after a moment of hesitation, she said in a low voice: "Actually, I have been trying to lose weight, but it's because it tastes so good that I can't control myself..."

"Oh! I was wondering! Sorry, sorry, I see you always look lonely and pitiful every time you come here, so I secretly scoop some more food for you..."

"I have discovered..."

Wang Chen, who had just finished making the last batch of condiments, opened his eyes to see this awkward scene. In order to break the atmosphere, he asked Gan Yu, "I don't think you're fat, why do you want to lose weight?"

Ganyu became even more embarrassed. She whispered, "It just looks...it just looks..."

In the end, Xiangling came to the rescue: "Hey, stay out of girls' business!"

Wang Chen was able to read the air to some extent, and quickly responded: "Oh, girls may indeed be too concerned about their weight... Well, let's not talk about this topic! My name is Chen, who are you?"

"Hello, my name is Ganyu. I just saw you carrying a lot of vegetables and fruits back and forth several times...Huh? Why is there the smell of sweet flowers, but no sweet flowers?"

"Are you looking for this?" Wang Chen picked up the transparent cup with a sweet flower label on it. Inside was a transparent liquid. "The sweet flowers are all here."

"Sweet flower juice... the color is wrong, is it alchemy?"

"Yes, this is a potion made by extracting the flavor of sweet flowers into clean water. It can be simply called a sweet flower flavored condiment."

Thinking of Ganyu's love for eating sweet flowers but fear of gaining weight, Wang Chen added: "And this condiment does not contain sugar. Although I don't quite understand the principle, it only has the taste of sweet flowers."

"No, it doesn't contain sugar! In other words..."

"It won't gain weight, that's natural, it's just water in essence." It wasn't until this encounter with Ganyu that Wang Chen realized that this was a real Ganyu trap.

"There's actually such a potion? I've never found it before!"

Wang Chen also thought about this problem. He tried to explain: "The formula of this medicine is very simple. Someone must have figured it out long ago. But its uses are pitifully few, and the raw fruit can be made into juice with the same taste. Who would waste food to make such a non-nutritious medicine?"

"Uh, you guys?" Ganyu carefully pointed at the potion made by Wang Chen.

"Ahahaha, that's true, but we are trying to create a new kind of food—"

"Chewing gum!" Xiangling replied in tacit understanding.

"Yes, sugar-free gum!"

"And bubble gum!"

“There’s a sweet flower flavor!”

Wang Chen and Xiangling were talking at the same time, working hard to promote Ganyu.

“Huh, huh?!”

"Do you want to come and try it? We are preparing to make new ones!" Xiangling invited Ganyu.

"But I still have work to do... No, nothing, please let me try the sweet flower flavor!"

Yujingtai gets off work at 6pm. Although it is already past 8pm, Ganyu would most likely still be working overtime at this time in the past.

But after the Emperor's death, the Seven Stars of Liyue temporarily reduced most of her work... Apart from conveying Ningguang's invitation, there is really nothing else on hand now, so she can... go off work on time.

Wang Chen and Xiangling looked at each other and smiled. One was happy that she had the opportunity to make friends with Ganyu, while the other was happy that she had one more food taster.

After returning to Wanmin Hall, Xiangling went straight into the kitchen, saying only, "Wait, I'll go make a pot right away!"

Ganyu seemed a little awkward sitting at a table with a stranger, but she soon noticed a plate of transparent candies on the table. She sniffed them, pointed at them and asked, "Are these chewing gums?"

"Yes, this is from Xiangling's last batch, but since they all look the same, it's hard to tell the flavor apart... There are some with Jueyun pepper and onion flavors, so you need to avoid them."

"Hmm... this piece is Jueyun pepper, this piece is onion, and this piece is mint." Ganyu stretched out her hand and pointed, reporting the taste of each piece.

"The smell isn't leaking out much now that it's made like this, can you still smell it?"

"Well, can I have a piece?"

"These are all experimental products, please feel free to do as you please."

Ganyu took the only relatively normal piece of mint gum without hesitation, and then chewed, chewed, chewed...

"Not only does it taste like mint, but the cooling feeling is exactly the same...it just seems like it can't be chewed."

"this is normal."

Wang Chen explained:

"Its characteristics are taste, texture, and sugar-free. Its main uses are: removing bad breath in the mouth; relieving stress when you are nervous; providing a candy without energy intake, so that people can enjoy their favorite flavors without worrying about gaining weight.

"Also, although it can be eaten, I don't recommend it. You can chew it until it has no taste and spit it out like sugar cane."

He had no idea what the slime would become after entering his stomach.

Xiang Ling just came over with a plate. After hearing what Wang Chen said, she retorted, "Eat it. You can eat it! I have tested it before, so I won't use ingredients with toxic side effects to make food."

Hearing her say this, Ganyu hesitated for a moment, then swallowed the mint gum with a gulp.

"Hey, hey! Come and try the freshly baked sweet floral-flavored chewing gum."

Two plates of steaming chewing gum were placed on the table. Ganyu couldn't wait to pick up a piece, smelling the sweet flower scent, and Wang Chen and Xiangling followed suit to taste it.

Her mouth was full of the flavor of sweet flowers, but the taste was completely different from sweet flowers... It was an incredible experience, which made Ganyu feel a little intoxicated. After chewing in silence for a long time, she swallowed the gum like she did before.

Xiangling also swallowed it openly. Seeing this, although Wang Chen was a little reluctant, he had no choice but to swallow it too.

In his subconscious, he still thought of this kind of chewing gum as something that should be chewed and not swallowed, but Xiangling really wanted to make slime her staple food...

"How about it?"

"A piece of candy that tastes exactly like Sweet Flower, a piece of candy that you can never finish, I think it's great!"

"Well, the hardness is almost the same as the previous batch. The heat of the condensation is well controlled. It can already be used as a stable dish."

"Great! Try the other one, that's the bubble gum I tried to make!"

The other plate of bubble gum looks exactly like chewing gum, but it is a little different when you pick it up. It is softer than chewing gum, and the difference is bigger when it enters the mouth. It is a little stickier, a little less tough, and softer overall.

Wang Chen was about to try to blow bubbles when he suddenly noticed that Ganyu's expression became strange.

“This taste wouldn’t be…?”

"It's a slime!" Xiangling explained.

For a moment, Ganyu was completely still.
