The cultivation record of the original demon in Teyvat continent

"It's Ruotuo Dragon King. Ruotuo Dragon King came to the Huzhong Cave. After understanding the situation of this Huzhong Cave, Ruotuo Dragon King directly used his spiritual power to expand the Huzhong Cave to the largest state currently."

Ruotuo Dragon King?Isn't that the crocodile dragon that appeared together with Tevalin and completely wiped out Osel in a few moments?When she heard A Yuan mention Ruotuo Dragon King, Ying immediately remembered the scene when she fought with Liyue's Seven Stars and the Immortals against Osel.

If it were in the past when his power was not sealed, it would take some time to defeat a strong man of Ruotuo Dragon King's level.If he were to face the opponent with his current strength, Ruotuo Dragon King might be able to blow himself hundreds of meters away with just one breath.

Why would such a strong man come to his own Chensong Pot?Wait... It seems that the key to the problem has been discovered, and the blonde girl's eyes suddenly became much sharper.

It's Xia Yu!So far, I have only given him the key to entering the cave in the pot, but Dragon King Ruotu followed Xia Yu back to Mondstadt? ?

But where are they now?Ying, who was trying to search for Xia Yu and others, was attracted by the smell of fireworks coming from the kitchen.

Yes, it must be there!

————————————————————————

On the way to the open-air kitchen, the monsters she saw along the way made Ying not know what to say for a moment.

Before he could plant too many seeds, the field next to him was already occupied by a large nest of grass slimes that came from nowhere. The grass slimes were like a small fence surrounding the vegetable field. With their faces leisurely basking in the sun, the grass slimes seemed to have noticed their arrival. The grass slimes all looked at them and even gently shook the young shoots on their heads as if to say hello.

In addition to the small grass slime, there is also a large grass slime near the apple tree, gently rubbing against the fruit tree that has been filled with apples for some time, trying its best to move its round body. The grass slime that turned upward was so happy that it narrowed its eyes to slits after seeing the apples hanging on the tree.

No need to think about it, this must be Xia Yu's masterpiece. Only he can bring back so many monsters that are as friendly as pets. While sighing, another question lingers in Ying's mind.

What did Xia Yu do when he came back with so many slimes?

"Paimon, do grass slimes have any special characteristics?" Paimon asked beside him. Ying looked at the little white-haired guy who was lost in thought. It was obvious that this man who claimed to be the best guide to Teyvat The little guy rarely understands the information about monsters in this area.

"Um... Slime..." Paimon scratched the top of his head and showed a helpless expression. "Although I only know that grass slimes will split to produce new small grass slimes when encountering water elements, but I don't know much about other aspects other than combat."

"Anyway, Xia Yu actually found so many grass slimes. Can't we just ask him and find out?" Paimon's reminder made Ying speed up her progress.

Keli and Little Dulin, who were holding two thunder slimes and asking Albedo to explain why the two thunder-type little guys had different colors, were sleeping soundly on the recliner with their own ice slimes in their arms. Mona, sitting at a table drinking tea and chatting, Noel asked Dragon King Ruoduo how to use the power of the rock element...

The closer to the open-air kitchen, the more lively the scene became, which made Ying sigh with emotion. Although he said that he was indeed punished for excessive cutting, but now it was more prosperous than the bare sky in the cave when he first got the Chensong Pot. It was more than a little lively.

From this point of view, the punishment I received was worth it!

"Hey, Xia Yu, you can actually make so many kinds of desserts."

"I only know a little bit about how to make desserts. After all, I am learning how to cook dishes. When it comes to desserts, I just refer to some information I can find."

Arriving at the kitchen, Amber and Xia Yu's conversation reached the ears of the blonde girl and Paimon. The extremely familiar conversation made Ying full of expectations for what would happen next.

It seems that Xia Yu is making desserts and other foods again. I didn't expect that the time for his return would be so suitable!In a good mood, the blond girl turned to the front of the kitchen and looked at Xia Yu, who was busy in the kitchen.

Besides Amber, there was a blue-haired woman he didn't recognize next to Xia Yu who was cooking.In the gurgling cauldron, a large number of burned and cleaned pig skins are constantly tumbling in the pot.After preparing the juice, Xia Yu started making ice cream and boiled the milk over low heat.

Who is this?Are Amber and Xia Yu friends?

————————————————————————

Compared to Amber who was observing Xia Yu making desserts with great interest, Yura on the side looked suspicious of life.

As a result, the delicious little gelatin cubes I ate in the afternoon were actually made of pig skin?No matter how hard Youla guessed, she couldn't connect the two.

There was also this space. I thought Xia Yu would take him and Amber to his small courtyard just for a dinner, but he didn't expect that there was such a large space hidden in that small house that he couldn't understand at all.

The spells of the immortals in Liyue are really wonderful...

After returning to her senses, Yora finally noticed the extra blond girl next to her. Although she hadn't officially met her yet, she had already guessed it just by listening to Amber's introduction to the blond girl in their daily chats. identity of.

Is this the honorary knight specially approved by Captain Qin?Since she was recognized by the acting captain Qin, and she also participated in the battle to recover Tevalin, and has such strength, she must be extremely elegant and appropriate in her words and deeds. It seems that she has to use the greetings of the nobles. .

"I send my greetings to you with the afternoon breeze, my dear friend." Yola, who greeted Ying with an elegant posture, waited for a moment and then found that she could not get the proper reply.

"Um...who are you?" Ying, who was frightened by Youla, had a look of surprise on her face. Ying, who was inexplicably weaker in aura, whispered: "If I remember correctly, This should be the first time we meet..."

"Pfft~" This seemed a bit awkward first meeting between the two people who looked at each other blankly. Amber who was standing aside couldn't hold back her laughter. "Ying, this is Youla, the guerrilla captain of the Knights of the West Wind, and also my good friend."

"And Youla, her situation is not as complicated as you think. Just treat her like Xia Yu or me and talk casually~"

Chapter 125 The raw material of kvass was eaten by the cat!

Perhaps because of Yura's unique way of introducing herself, Ying, who was chatting with Yura and Amber, felt inexplicably weaker in terms of momentum.The strange feeling made Ying herself puzzled.

Strange, isn’t this my cave in the pot?Why didn't he come back for just one afternoon? Why did he seem to have become a guest?

However, Amber's best friend named Yula felt so powerful and majestic even just sitting there... Ying, who felt that she couldn't find a topic, had to turn her eyes to An Bo who was more approachable. Bai then asked: "Why did Amber and Youla come to my cave in the pot at the invitation of Xia Yu?"

"Huh?! So this magical space actually belongs to you, the honorary knight?" Amber's surprised eyes, looking back and forth at Xia Yu and Ying, made Ying feel a little worried. After nodding, she noticed Amber's expression became gossipy, and Ying, who felt that something was not going well, immediately became vigilant.

"But... from Xia Yu's small courtyard, you can go directly to your pot. Does this count as living together?"

"Poof!" Yula, who had been maintaining an elegant posture while sipping tea, finally broke through Amber's explosive words.

After wiping the tea on the table with a blushing face and anxiously, before Ying could say anything, Youla immediately explained to Amber, who was thinking a little wildly: "This must not be considered cohabitation!"

"The fat little bird-like immortal when we first came in has already said that visitors to the Cave in the Pot will return to the place where they entered when they return. In this case, they can be regarded as two adjacent houses at most, so They can only be said to be neighbors. I understand..." Yula, who was explaining hurriedly, realized after noticing the slightly teasing smile on Amber's face.

be cheated!Amber deliberately provoked herself to say this!

"Well, relax Yura, look at how nervous you make Ying become. Isn't it much better now?" Amber smiled and gestured to Yura to look in Ying's direction, and sat upright with her hands on her knees. Yura fell silent as she was as well-behaved as a primary school student listening to the teacher's lectures.

This is obviously not what a leisurely chat should be like!What had she done to make her so nervous?

I allowed myself to be teased by Amber for no reason. I will take note of this grudge!

————————————————————————

Yesterday's leisurely afternoon ended with a combination of ice cream and juice. In the early morning, Xia Yu, who woke up early, felt inexplicably full of energy.

Today is the first day of trying to make kvass.

The bright morning may still be a good time for most people to sleep soundly, but for practitioners in the catering industry, especially self-employed households, this time is when they start to fight on their own.

Enter from the side door and climb the steps straight to the fountain square in the middle. When Xia Yu came to the bakery, he was immediately stopped by the alluring scent of wheat.In front of the already lit bakery, the fat shop owner standing by the oven in front of the store was taking out the first batch of baked bread from the oven.

Perhaps because of the sound of his own footsteps, the store manager who put away the first batch of bread wiped the sweat on his forehead and turned around.

"Oh? Isn't this Boss Xia? Are you awake so early?" The fat middle-aged store manager seemed to be surprised by his arrival. He pointed at several steaming long hams placed on the middle level of the shelf. A large loaf of bread, and then continued: "This is the whole wheat bread you want. I have added nuts, nuts, malt, etc. according to the standards you gave. And not a drop of oil was added."

"But the bread you have has malt with a little crust in it, so it shouldn't be for eating..."

"That's right, after four days I'll ask the shop owner to try the drink brewed from these breads." After taking the bread and a small amount of dry yeast powder that the shop manager packed in oil paper bags and paying for Mora, he smiled Xia Yu, who waved to his fellow shop owner, embarked on his way home.

Oil-free flatbread with added nuts, a very small amount of malt, and yeast, done.The next step is to slice it and bake it briefly to get a slightly golden crust.

Pushing open the door with the mark on it, he entered the cave in the pot. He came to the frozen tree and took out the large bottle of cranberries and raisins that had been soaked in the refrigerator. Xia Yu, who carefully observed the conditions inside the bottle through the glass bottle, showed satisfaction. smile.

The raisins and dried cranberries have fully expanded after eating enough water, and their bulging appearance looks particularly attractive.At the same time, due to osmosis, the water in the two large glass bottles also took on a slightly dark red and purple color.

He cut the bread into slightly thick slices, and while waiting for the oven hearth to heat up, a sound coming from near the kitchen in the pot made Xia Yu turn his head to look in the direction of the sound, with a surprised expression on his face. The little cat girl was walking towards the open-air kitchen while looking at the surrounding environment.

"This way, Diona~" waved to the approaching little cat girl. "Are you awake so early?"

"Of course!" Diona replied to Xia Yu with her hands on her hips and a proud look. "In order to defeat Mondstadt's alcohol industry, since we have to learn how to make alcoholic beverages, it doesn't matter if we get up a day or two early."

"But what is this place all about? If it hadn't been for Sister Noelle's reminder, I wouldn't have even known that there was such a big place behind the door." It seemed like he was interested in the cave in the pot. The little cat girl was full of interest, and her tail was wagging behind her as she looked at the scenery around her, looking extremely excited.

"Here, this is the treasure that Ying got while traveling in Liyue Port..." After telling Diona the news about the origin of the Chensong Pot that Ying had mentioned when showing off, Xia Yu found that the little guy's eyes were filled with tears. A different kind of brilliance.

Yes, new things will always arouse the interest of these little guys. After the introduction, Xia Yu began to count the materials and found that some materials seemed to be forgotten by him due to his own negligence.

Although all the raw materials for making kvass have been gathered, during the brewing process, the yeast needs to carry out aerobic fermentation while preventing dust from falling into the bottle. Therefore, clean gauze has become a necessity in the initial brewing stage.

The use of fine medical gauze can not only isolate external impurities, but also ensure a breathable environment for yeast to have a good environment. In this environment, it is definitely the best way to seal the bottle mouth in the initial stage of brewing kvass. supplies.But because of a moment of negligence, I forgot to buy medical gauze.

"Diona, do you know where to buy medical gauze in Mondstadt?" Xia Yu, who asked the kitten girl, looked at the other party with a puzzled look and continued to explain: "I will use it for binding during the initial soaking and fermentation stage of brewing. The mouth of the bottle must be covered with medical gauze.”

"Medical gauze..." After hearing Xia Yu talk about the use of gauze, Diona replied without hesitation: "Of course it is in the West Wind Church! The prayer priests of the West Wind Church are responsible for healing various wounds. If you want gauze, just go to the West Wind Church, there will definitely be one!"

That's right... The person who is most indispensable for medical gauze is naturally the doctor. After being reminded by Diona, Xia Yu smiled helplessly.

Since you only need to bake a few slices of bread, you don’t use too much charcoal.At present, it will take about 10 minutes for the charcoal that has just been initially lit and placed in the furnace to heat the entire oven to the appropriate temperature. These 10 minutes are enough for me to go to the West Wind Church.

"Do you want to go to the West Wind Church together?" Xia Yu asked Kitten Girl and looked at the other party and nodded decisively.

"Of course! Since you want to understand how this drink is made, you must fully understand every process~"

After bringing Diona to A Yuan's side, and returning to the hut with the help of A Yuan, the two walked briskly towards the West Wind Church located on the highest floor of Mondstadt City.

————————————————————————

"Uh-huh~" After a big yawn, Ying sat up from the soft big bed. Finally having a stable place to live made the blonde girl smile with satisfaction.Under his instructions, Ah Yuan initially synchronized the time in the cave in the pot with the outside world.

The cave in the pot is really amazing~

Turning her head to look at the already lit sky outside the window, Ying, whose eyes looked a little complicated, let out a long sigh.

Hey, I have to deal with the wooden piles again soon...

But generally speaking, using labor punishment is not without gain. At least for a long time, I will remember that if I want to cut down trees, I have to go to the Knights of the West Wind to report first, or go directly to Liyue Port to buy finished wood products. The price is It will probably be a bit difficult to describe.

The commotion coming from outside the small building caught Ying's attention. She put her head on the window sill and looked down. The blond girl found Xia Yu in the kitchen, who was talking to Diona.

Hmm... I was too far away to hear what they were saying, and I was not suitable to say hello to them in my pajamas.It was better to wait until the relationship was over before going to see them. After watching Xia Yu tinkering beside the oven for a while, he exchanged a few words with Diona, and then the two of them left the Cave in the Pot.

Are you here to make breakfast for yourself?Yingying felt a little warm in her heart while she was guessing.

Since there is breakfast, it must be eaten while it is hot to make it delicious!After hurriedly washing up and putting on her normal clothes for going out, Ying trotted to the kitchen. The slightly warm stove, the slices of bread placed on the table, and two bottles of drinks that seemed to be juice made Ying confirm her guess. .

The sliced ​​bread is exuding a strong aroma of wheat. Paired with the heating stove and two large bottles of fruit drinks, although this kind of hard bread tastes a bit chewy, the texture is better than the normal bread with added butter. The bread is also a bit rough, but this bread also has its own advantages.

That is, if you break off small pieces and chew them slowly, this oil-free bread will exude the wheat aroma of the fermented dough as you chew it.I happen to have two bottles of jam, so I just spread a layer of jam on the bread slices. This oil-free bread will definitely taste better.

As expected, she was here to help her make breakfast, hehe~ The blonde girl put the bread into the oven and waited quietly for the oven to heat up, with an expectant expression on her face.

One minute passed quickly. In the oven furnace, the bread slices exuded a strong wheat aroma due to the high temperature, which made Ying smile with satisfaction.After taking it out of the oven and spreading a small amount of jam on it, the blonde girl took a small bite of the bread and confirmed her idea.

Sure enough, the oil-free bread is a bit difficult to chew, but the strong wheat flavor makes it more and more delicious before it is completely soaked in your mouth.And because it also contains chopped nuts and malt, an extra nutty flavor will bloom in your mouth when you bite these pieces.

It’s just that the wheat bran on the surface of the broken wheat grains has not been cleaned... I smashed the protruding wheat bran on my tongue and smacked my lips. For some reason, in addition to the things that can be tasted, there is also something in this whole wheat bread. It has a very special bitter taste.

Is it the reason for the small dark green crumbs baked into it?In order to confirm her thoughts, the blonde girl pulled out a small piece of bread and put it into her mouth. The faint fragrance and bitter taste allowed Ying to determine the source of the bitter taste.

This is it!But...because this unknown little crumb has been completely dried, I can't tell what it is.

Next was the juice on the side. Ying looked at the two large bottles of drinks carefully and felt a little confused.What is this method of making juice?

The swollen fruit pieces are obviously made by soaking dried fruits. Is there anything unique about this drink made from soaking dried fruits?

"Don't eat it! That's the secret weapon we want to use to make drinks!" Just as Ying was guessing Xia Yu's purpose of doing this, the anxious female voice from the distance made the blond girl turn her head.Diona, who rushed towards her, seemed extremely excited. The bulging kitten seemed to be completely fried because she was eating slices of bread.

She quickly stretched out her hand to block the little guy's little fist that was hitting her. Ying, who was a little surprised, quickly looked at Xia Yu who was thinking about coming here.

Xia Yu, who was holding a small white cloth bag in his hand, looked at him with an expression full of self-blame. The strange situation made Ying, who was stunned, lowered his head again and looked at Diona, who was baring her teeth at him.

broken!It seems that this bread is really not meant to be eaten directly...

Chapter 126: Baked Kvass, Renovated Courtyard

Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief after briefly checking the modified raw materials.

Fortunately, there was enough bread, and because it was oil-free hard bread, the three long loaves were only a little short. The pure water used to soak the dried fruits was not consumed. Overall, Not a big problem.

After gently patting the head of Kitty Girl who was still glaring at Ying with a vicious expression, Xia Yu comforted Diona when she looked up at him with an anxious expression: "Don't worry, it's just a little bit." The loss has no impact on the brewing process for a while.”

"Is it really okay?" Kitty Girl, whose face was full of worry, finally relaxed after seeing Xia Yu nod again, and turned to Ying Hou who didn't know what the situation was, with a slightly disgusted look. The little guy's attention was once again focused on Xia Yu who started making drinks.

The bread slices were put into the furnace and started to be baked. The simple process made Xia Yu feel free for a while. Looking around, Xia Yu searched for the fire balls that were playing in the cave of the pot.

Putting aside other things for the moment, I didn't consider that it was really my own problem that I ate the raw materials used to make kvass for breakfast.Right now, something is needed to divert Diona's hatred towards Ying.Considering that the original domestic cat likes to stay in warm places, the fire ball may help divert Diona's attention.

The problem is that I can't move away now... It only takes less than 10 minutes for the oil-free bread slices to bake in the high-temperature oven to get a golden surface. This time is definitely not enough for me to bake in this area that has been expanded. I found a fire slime playing somewhere in the cave in the pot.

Add a small amount of white sugar to two cans of refrigerated dried fruit soaking liquid and bring it close to the hot stove to heat it up slightly. Xia Yu, who noticed that the bread slices had begun to change color, took them out of the stove and broke them into large pieces. After adding the bread crumbs into the water bottle and sealing it with string and gauze, the preliminary work of making kvass is completed.

"Is this done...?" Carefully looking at the pieces of bread that had begun to bubble in the brown liquid, Diona couldn't associate it with a delicious drink no matter how much she observed.

It's really just soaked bread...and the layer of green stuff settling at the bottom of the bottle doesn't look right.The weird visual impression made the kitten girl think of moldy food covered with hair for no reason.

vomit...

Could it be that Xia Yu really made a joke on himself?That's not right. How can anyone make something so serious to make a joke... However, regardless of the taste of this kind of liquid that doesn't look like much, as long as you add it to the process of mixing wine, it can make the wine If it becomes unpleasant to drink, it can also become an extremely useful tool for you.

"Xia Yu, is this really drinkable?" After asking Xia Yu, Diona looked at him and nodded with certainty.

"Don't worry, it's just the preliminary process of making the drink. What I need now is to get the soaking water with a fruity and bready flavor. Because I added a small amount of hop nuts and broken malt grains to it, wait for it to soak for a while. The flavor will change dramatically over time."

After explaining to Kitty Girl and Ying who was still wondering what he and Diona were making, Xia Yu carefully stored the prepared dry yeast.

These dry yeasts were obtained by promising the owner of the bakery that he would be able to taste new wine-like drinks in a few days. As the protagonist of the second step of fermentation and foaming, yeast plays a role in the production of kvass. extremely crucial role.Just as Xia Yu was freeing up to prepare breakfast, the fireballs jumping from a distance caught the attention of Xia Yu and others.

There are monsters here!No... Diona, who was originally nervous and about to take out her bow, suddenly remembered that Xia Yu had said that the conditions for entering the cave in Ying's pot were a bit harsh, so there should be no monsters in the pot.Therefore, this fire slime should be the one Xia Yu raised.
