The cultivation record of the original demon in Teyvat continent

Chapter 115 Isn’t it normal to catch a cat with a fish?

After waking up from a dream, Mona looked at the clear sky outside the window, rubbed her eyes, and sat up in a daze.

After getting half a month's salary in advance from Xia Yu, and simply gathering a crystal ball and astrology chart, I finally had the simplest astrology laboratory.The feeling of excitement caused me to continue my research until midnight. If I hadn't suddenly remembered that I still had to complete the waiter's work tomorrow, I would have almost died.

The cool room made Mona turn her attention to the ice slimes that were jumping around the room. The little guy who was searching around the room was looking for the small pieces of Ice Mist Flower Powder Gel that she had placed around the room. .

After learning how to make gel cubes from Xia Yu yesterday afternoon, I tried to make some myself.As Xia Yu said, as long as you master the method, it is not difficult to make small pieces of this gel. You only need to add the powder of Ice Mist Flower to the unsolidified skin jelly juice and wait for it to slowly set. .

Later, these small pieces of gel were used in the room...

Sprinkle extremely fine pieces of gel on the floor of the room, and then put the ice slime in the room. The little guy who is used to extending his jelly-like tentacles to roll the gel pieces into his body one by one. I ran back and forth on the floor of the room for several hours to eat these gel blocks. The ice element smell emitted when the little guy moved made the hot night much cooler.

So, ice slime is really useful in the summer... No!Since I got up so late, I must have missed breakfast time!

Mona, who was still looking at the ice slimes jumping around the room in a daze, woke up immediately when she heard her stomach growling. She opened up the thin quilt and ran to the bathroom to clean it. Another one. The problem was posed in front of Mona, who was wearing pajamas.

Regular clothes or maid outfit?

wrong!Why am I still struggling with this now?If you get any later, you won’t even have time to go to a restaurant outside for breakfast!Anyway, she was going to work soon... Mona, who hurriedly put on her maid uniform, ran out of the room, but was blocked by Noelle who appeared at the door.

"No...Senior Noelle." Perhaps it was because of Noelle's breathtaking sense of oppression yesterday. Looking at Noelle looking at him with a smile, Mona didn't know why she felt guilty. Unconsciously, Noelle used the honorific title because she was younger than him.

"You can't be so careless in your maid uniform."

"...What?" Before Mona could react to what happened, she felt a huge force pulling her. She had no resistance at all. She felt like a piece of paper in front of Noelle. Mona, who was as light as a chip, was dragged to the floor-length mirror.

"The skirts, skirt hems, and corners of the apron need to be sorted out, and the cuffs also need to be straightened out. This is the etiquette that a maid must perform before receiving customers." Under Noel's supervision, the trembling After Mona finished arranging the maid uniform, she finally made Noelle smile with satisfaction.

The aura that Noelle exuded when he got serious was not much weaker than the sense of oppression from the master... Looking at Noelle who picked up the cleaning tools and started to clean up the room, Mona, who had an empty stomach, quickly moved towards The kitchen location ran.

Xia Yu, who was busy standing in front of the stove, let Mona breathe a sigh of relief. Smelling the fragrance that had spread to the entire kitchen, Mona walked lightly and came behind Xia Yu. She looked at the pot and immediately felt very confused.

What...what is this doing?

Xia Yu, who was processing the sea bass, made Mona confused. If the food Xia Yu made yesterday could surpass more than [-]% of the chefs in Liyue in terms of fineness and taste, the fish Xia Yu is cooking now is... A little too rough.

Two huge iron pots placed on the stove.There were a bunch of spices that I didn't know were added to the pot, and there were four plump black-backed seabass soaking in each pot. Although the soup seemed to be boiling but not boiling, there was no sign of boiling and rolling, although there was a faint white smoke.

On the other side, Xia Yu, who seemed to be frying some seasonings, was engrossed in his work and didn't seem to notice himself observing himself in the pot.

Do you want to have a fish feast for breakfast?Considering that she didn't want to disturb Xia Yu who was concentrating on cooking, Mona quietly walked out of the kitchen after observing the situation, and then fell into deep thought.

Although blackback seabass is a good ingredient, is it really okay to eat it all early in the morning?And the cooking method seems to be to boil the whole thing... After returning to the living room, taking over the golden thunder ball raised by Xia Yu who loves to rub people, Mona joined the people sitting around the dining table chatting. .

"Brother Kunjun, sister Ajiu, is it really that interesting in Liyue?" It seems that he has perfectly inherited his mother's active characteristics, and maybe he happened to hear the news that Kunjun and Ajiu are from Liyue. , Keli's eyes were filled with excitement after opening the Liyue chapter of the Teyvat Travel Guide and asking the Toro Dragon King.

"What is the biggest difference between Liyue and Mondstadt? And who is the enthusiastic Mr. Zhongli who accompanied her on the trip that my mother mentioned in the book?"

"Pfft!" Ajiu couldn't hold back the mention of Morax again. How could Morax have time to do such a thing?There must be a very important reason for him to do this.

"Can you let me have a look?" After taking the Teyvat travel guide handed over by Keli and reading the chapters on Mondstadt and Liyue, Kunjun on the side also began to explain to Keli the relationship between Mondstadt and Liyue. The difference in scenery.

"The main difference between Mondstadt and Liyue is the difference between hills and plains. Therefore, the overall beauty of Liyue's scenery combined with mountains and rivers is better than Mondstadt, but I just want to talk about the greenery. In terms of the beauty of plants, Mondstadt is indeed superior..." Kunjun was explaining to Keli eloquently while sipping tea, making the little guy look at him with admiring eyes.

On the other side, Ajiu, who had roughly finished reading the Teyvat travel guide, finally understood why Morax chose to go with Keli's mother after she arrived in Liyue.It is true that she followed Keli's mother to supervise her because of fear.

Like mother, like daughter. The footprints and various 'great achievements' that Alice left in Mondstadt really left a deep impression on Mondstadt's senior management. If Morax allowed her to If Yue moves around at will, I am afraid that the fairy mountain cave where the three Jueyunjian people live will be blown to the ground by this mother who is full of adventurous spirit and bold ideas.

This is clearly an enhanced version of Keli!

In the middle of the chat, Xia Yu, who had finished cooking, finally came to the living room with the prepared fish dishes. He took the lead in placing one of them on the dining table, and while walking back to the kitchen to get another fish dish, he sat around The group of people at the table looked at this fish dish with surprise in their eyes.

After being processed by Xia Yu's knife skills, the whole black-backed seabass was covered with fine knife marks but did not fall apart into a ball. It looked like a simply boiled fish with a layer of clear orange on the surface. The juice, the crystal clear color, and the faint fragrance and spiciness that penetrated the nose. The two flavors that should be extremely conflicting were somehow blended evenly into the sauce by Xia Yu.

Although it looks extremely simple, Xia Yu's cooking should not be done hastily. Curious, Keli picked up her chopsticks and dipped a little bit of the sauce into her mouth. The stimulating taste immediately made Keli Li's face wrinkled up.

so spicy!It also has an extremely pungent sour taste!

Keli, who kept shaking her head, looked a little uncomfortable. It wasn't until she took the water glass handed by Albedo and drank a glass of juice that the little guy's expression improved.

Is this dish really edible?Isn’t it really prank cooking?Just when Keli was about to protest to Xia Yu who was serving the food, the aftertaste coming from her mouth made the little guy close his opened mouth again.

it's wired!Why does the aftertaste feel so delicious?There is also an extremely unique fragrance of clear oil. This taste is not very obvious because the entire mouth is occupied by sourness and spiciness when entering the mouth. After the sourness and spiciness subside, this fragrance is like the nectar of a long drought. It left a deep impression on people.

This is just one of the fish, what do the other seven taste like?

————————————————————————

Diona has been very troubled recently, not because the plan to fight against the alcohol industry seems to have had the opposite effect, nor because her father is still so addicted to drinking.

It's because Xia Yu has never been able to find anyone.

After tasting the 'beer with all the alcohol evaporated', Diona, who was trying to find materials in this area, had a new plan.

Since I have a huge and hopeless curse that no matter what raw materials are used to make the drink, the drink will taste better, so I might as well give up on the prank-like search for ingredients...

After all, I used lizard tails, butterfly wings and toads as weird alchemical raw materials to make wine. It should be said that what I got should be a dark drink that is completely undrinkable, but in the end I still got a drink that was so delicious. Drinks that customers rave about.

This is simply a death blow to me...

Use new drinks of your own creation instead of drinks. After all, I am a 'magic bartender' who has even revitalized a tavern like Mao Tail Tavern that is about to close down. I can create some unique drinks that will become delicious. That's right.

However, the plan couldn't keep up with the change. Since he relied on the 'curse' to make drinks, his theoretical knowledge was far inferior to those of the professional bartenders who had tricked his father.

The drink I mixed myself was more like a fruit juice with complex flavors than wine. Although it was indeed delicious, it still lacked the aroma of wine in the mouths of those old drunkards and could not replace it.

But I just can't ask them for advice... Doesn't this mean that I have surrendered to a devil like wine?

After much deliberation, Kitten Girl had no choice but to focus on Xia Yu, who allowed herself to taste non-alcoholic beer.

Since Mr. Xia Yu, who has a business relationship with his father, knows so much, he must also know some other ways to make similar drinks, right?But the problem is that the impression I left on him last time was indeed a bit bad. Will Mr. Xia Yu really consider giving him advice...

Hmm... It seems that I can only admit my mistake and apologize first, and then explain my purpose. If he still refuses to forgive me, then try to let him touch his tail?

Diona, who was prepared for the worst, asked the members of the West Wind Knights for the location of Xia Yu's residence and then came to the door. However, she fell into another dilemma because of the news Noel told her.

Xia Yu went to Liyue because he wanted to see the Immortal Ceremony!

There are still nearly three months left before the Immortal Ceremony, and with the long road back and forth, ugh, this miserable life will continue for several more months...

Xia Yu is back!Diona, who had persisted in confusion for more than three months, was shocked when she heard the guests in the tavern talking about Xia Yu's news. She ended the day's work early to recharge and rest, and the next morning she Early in the morning, after having breakfast at the Deer Hunter, Diona walked towards Xia Yu's courtyard again with a bit of nervousness.

Hmm...it smells so good...are they having breakfast?And these flavors... include Jueyun pepper, lemon, light grass, snapdragon, Dudulian, mint... With the excellent blood talent of the Katzlein family, Diona can accurately distinguish each one. The smell of the raw materials mixed with the aroma.

Such a complex taste... What on earth is this doing?And the main smell is something I am very familiar with, it is the smell of fish!

Is it really okay to use so many things to cook fish?Xia Yu doesn't have the ability to make everything taste as delicious as he does... Diona, who was worried about the people in the room, couldn't help but frowned and knocked on the door. After a while, the door was opened by a black-haired girl wearing a maid uniform.

"Hello, who are you?" Mona, who saw Diona for the first time, was puzzled by the visit of this little cat girl who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old.

"Hello, this maid sister, I'm here to see Xia Yu. Is Xia Yu in the room now?" Since I wanted to ask for something, Kitty Girl's attitude was more than a little better than last time. It seemed that because Because she was a little nervous, the little guy's tail was flicking left and right slightly under her unconscious control.

"Looking for me?" Xia Yu, who seemed to have heard the sound coming from the door, felt a little confused and came to the door.

This...isn't this Mr. Durav's daughter Diona?The kitten girl's visit gave Xia Yu a slight headache.

There won't be any trouble this time...

Chapter 116 Selling Daliba Handmade Kvass to Cats

What happened to your breakfast?Who is the person with Ketzlein ancestry?Diona was shocked as she walked into the room under the leadership of Mona.

Neatly eight black-backed sea bass were placed on the dining table. The fish were cooked in a similar way, as if they were boiled and then topped with different sauces. Even though they were boiled, the cuts on the fish looked like mutton-fat white jade. You can see the crystal clear fish meat, and the fish cook’s control of the heat can be said to be perfect.

Just now, I could only smell the aroma of various seasonings in the house outside the house. Now, after seeing the fish on the dining table, the temptation of delicious food is even greater.

The bright red Jueyun pepper powder with a slightly sour aroma should be made using fermentation techniques similar to wine, but the smell is not unpleasant. The light sour aroma is compared to the dryness of fresh Jueyun pepper. The spiciness appears softer in smell.

Tears of disappointment flowed down the corners of his mouth.

There are also boiled fish with lotus root and unknown green spices on the side combined with thick white sauce. The emerald green color of the spices and the light yellow color of the lotus root appear in the white. In addition to the taste of fish, it seems that there is also It has the smell of dried shrimps. Is this something that would make a cat of Ketzlein descent hungry to death?

And... and... After browsing every fish dish with great greed, Diona, whose brain was in chaos, tried to find other types of dishes on the table, but...

Apart from the fish, there are only two plates of stir-fried vegetables, plus bread or white rice as the staple food, and that’s it!

It’s gone! !It’s too much to eat so much fish so early in the morning!

The food on the table made Diona extremely jealous. The tail that she had carefully taken care of in the early morning and wore her favorite little bell was now as hairy as a squirrel's tail.Xia Yu felt extremely puzzled by the kitten that suddenly became fierce and fierce, with a little sparkling color in its eyes.

He didn't say a word, and he didn't meet Diona after the last incident. How did he offend this little ancestor?

"Well...we are still having breakfast, why don't we come and try it together?" Xia Yu, who tried to invite the little kitten girl, found that although the little guy still had a fierce expression on his face, the cat above his head But his ears shook slightly with utmost honesty.

So that’s it, I’m just greedy.After noticing the little guy's swallowing movement, Xia Yu said with a smile: "It just so happens that I am also trying out fish dishes for everyone to evaluate today. Why don't you come and give some opinions, Diona?" Looking at it, The little guy nodded, Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally solved.

————————————————————————

Twenty minutes later, Diona was sitting on the sofa with a satisfied look on her face. After relaxing, the little guy with half-closed eyes was making a "purr, purr" sound while his tail was wagging gently from side to side.

tasty!It’s so delicious~

First of all, the fish itself. The earthy smell of the tender fish has been completely removed, leaving only the deliciousness of the fish itself, with a light salty base and paired with eight different types of sauces. Even if it is all boiled The fish doesn’t feel cloying at all.

While the adults were clearing away the dishes and cleaning the table, Kelly tiptoed to Diona. Looking at Diona lying lazily on the sofa, the little guy's eyes were full of surprise. .

I have never seen Sister Diona show such an expression!

"Hey~Sister Diona, how does the food cooked by brother Xia Yu taste? Is it delicious?" Keli seemed to be showing off to Diona, with her hands on her hips, she looked very proud, just like before The whole fish feast is usually made by her.

"I thought the reason why Uncle Dulav supplied Brother Xia Yu with various meats produced in Qingquan Town was because Sister Diona was already familiar with Brother Xia Yu. But haven't you met him a few times?"

Keli's innocent tone made Diona, who was still satisfied, feel inexplicably sad.

Yes... Dad has a business relationship with Xia Yu, and he happens to be lurking in the wine industry in Mondstadt to learn all kinds of relevant information. Compared with Keli, who likes bombs and exploring everywhere, he obviously has such a With so many unique advantages, why is the relationship between Xia Yu and Keli better than his?

Hmm... It must be caused by the various wine businesses in Mondstadt!Yes, that’s definitely the case!

If it weren't for the alcohol, the most powerful dad wouldn't be in such a state of gibbering and embarrassment after drinking, and he wouldn't find ways to sneak into Mondstadt's bars and become a bartender.

If things develop like this, compared to the current situation, the relationship between myself and Xia Yu, who is still learning various hunting skills with her father, should be similar to the relationship between Keli and Xia Yu...

Therefore, the main culprit is Mondstadt's wine industry, and it is imperative to completely destroy it!Thinking of this, Diona became even more convinced of her opinion.

"That's right, Keli, you should also know that I have been fighting against the Mondstadt Liquor Industry, right?" Looking at Keli who nodded, Diona continued: "So, I need a A drink that can compete with the Mondstadt Liquor Industry and completely destroy the Mondstadt Liquor Industry."

"The drink he made when I met Xia Yu last time inspired me, so I always wanted to ask him for advice to see if I could learn anything. But he happened to go to Liyue, so when I learned about Xia Yu I rushed over as soon as I returned to Mondstadt.”

Is that so?Listening to Diona talking about her dream again, Kelly nodded in understanding.

I once mentioned to Sister Diona that I wanted to join her plan to defeat the monster of Mondstadt Liquor, but she refused because the bomb was too dangerous.Shouldn't we use weapons to defeat monsters?Why is it said to be dangerous by Sister Diona?

As a result, sister Diona said today that what is needed to destroy the Mondstadt wine industry is a new material?An enemy that can be defeated by drinks. No wonder she would shake her head immediately when she once proposed using a bomb to help Sister Diona solve a problem. She also told herself that she wanted to defeat Mondstadt Liquor Company in an upright manner, so there was no need for bombs.

Now it seems that the special monster of Mondstadt Liquor should be similar to the fire slime, so Sister Diona politely refused her, saying that she could not use bombs.

From this point of view, Brother Xia Yu who can make Sister Diona come to her for help is really amazing!

While Keli was talking to Diona, Xia Yu returned to the living room after clearing the tableware. The two little guys chatting caught Xia Yu's attention.

Perhaps also aware of his arrival, Keli rushed over and grabbed the corner of her clothes. "Brother Xia Yu, please help Sister Diona fight against the monster of Mondstadt Liquor!" Keli said this without any head or tail, which made Xia Yu fall into confusion.

When did Mond Wines become a monster?Or is there some kind of monster whose name sounds exactly the same as 'Mond Liquor'?Xia Yu, who couldn't figure out what happened, turned to Diona, whose face was a little red.When Keli saw the two of them looking at each other, she looked proud of her success.

Well, I helped Sister Diona convey her confusion to Brother Xia Yu. Judging from Brother Xia Yu's expression, Brother Xia Yu should have his own plan on how to solve this problem.With brother Xia Yu’s help, sister Diona’s problem will definitely be solved!In this case, you can go play by yourself first!

Thinking of this, Keli, who waved towards the two of them, ran towards the room and pulled up little Dulin, who seemed to be still savoring the taste of the whole fish feast. The little guy said to Xia Yu and Diona with a smile on his face: " Brother Xia Yu, the difficulties encountered by Sister Diona all depend on you~" Then, Keli, who was pulling little Du Lin, quickly ran out of the room and started today's adventure.

This... was all leaked by Keli!Diona was even more embarrassed by the situation that Keli disrupted.

"It's like this... I have something to ask Xia Yu for your reference." Perhaps because of the meal just now, Diona was much more relaxed than the tension she felt when she entered the room. After stating my purpose, I became much more relaxed.

"I want to make a special drink to compete with the various alcoholic drinks in Mondstadt." Diona looked particularly serious when explaining her idea. "In my imagination, this drink must have a taste similar to wine, but different from today's wine, beer or cocktails made from various drinks and original wine."

"Although my hands-on ability is extremely strong due to the curse, I can't think of a drink that can change the interests of the existing drunkards in Mondstadt without adding existing alcohol. So please!”

The Diona who begged him was beyond Xia Yu's expectations.

As a result, the Mondstadt wine industry is not a homophonic monster at all, but is really the entire existing Mondstadt wine industry.

Judging from the information I have available, except for the Cat Tail Tavern, the entire wine industry in the Mondstadt area is monopolized by Chenxi Winery.The wine produced by oneself is similar to the liquor and beer imported from other countries. The person who controls the lifeblood of Mondstadt's wine industry is Diluc, the former captain of the Cavalry of the Knights of the West Wind and now the owner of Dawn Winery.

It is not an easy task to fight against such a behemoth, not to mention that Diona’s goal is not even to replace it and become the new industry leader, but to fundamentally overturn the existing wine industry. The ideas are more or less fanciful.

However, after sorting out all the clues, I finally understood why Diona thought this way: because Diona had an alcoholic father.

There is a huge gap between the messy appearance of people who drink too much and the image they maintain in daily life. I am afraid that the reason why Diona hates Mondstadt's liquor industry so much is because her father, Mr. Durraf, did it before drinking. Compared with the huge difference in the image after drinking, the perfect father image in the little guy's mind was destroyed by alcohol.

In fact, there is no problem even if you leave this matter alone. After all, wait a few years, and when Diona grows up and understands more and becomes more sensible, this problem will naturally be solved.At that time, the past of her struggle with the Mondstadt Liquor Industry may become the dark history of the extremely powerful Diona.

But then again, it was impossible for him to explain this to her directly. The little guy who was in a certain sense at this stage would never listen to any persuasion, and he would never offend others for no reason. To do it.
