The cultivation record of the original demon in Teyvat continent

"Besides, Brother Xia Yu, except for practicing your sword skills in the courtyard, you stay in your room. You rarely go out with your guards to walk around Inazuma City. I want to know more about Brother Xia Yu when the General is not around. You just have to work harder.”

"So, I gave up a lot of rest time to find out clearly. Brother Xia Yu, you are really a smart and good person. After getting the final answer, how can you not make up for the rest time that you missed before..." After explaining After that, Hayao's attention, which was resting his head on the wooden table, was attracted by the owner of Shimuraya who was grilling skewers.

I still haven't noticed that Zaoyu is lying, especially when he talks about being lazy. The relief in the little guy's words and the relaxed and happy expression on his face are so obvious that he can tell them at a glance. The point of authenticity.

He was planning to tell everything he knew... A little ninja who liked to be lazy but was very capable. Xia Yu couldn't help but curl up his lips because of Zaoyou's special and interesting situation.At the same time, two other new doubts appeared in my mind.

If everything Hayayu said is true, the requirements of ninjas should be quite strict. It stands to reason that laziness should be a taboo for ninjas. Why is Hayayu still accepted by the final series of Shashou Xing?

The other is the mission that Hayou is currently performing. Judging from what Hayou said and the way he dealt with him, this little guy should have figured out that he is not a villain, so he is so relaxed. It stands to reason In this case, Zaoyou's mission should be considered completed. How did she still continue to fish?

"Haoyou." Looking at the little guy who turned his little head drooping on the table to him after he shouted, Xia Yu said: "According to what you said, your mission should have been completed, then. Your boss's side..."

"Hey, Shikano-senpai only needs to report the information normally and there will be no problem." When mentioning work matters, Hayao, who was starting to become a little proud, had a proud expression.

"Because Brother Xia Yu, after you came to Daozhu City, the general seemed to have certain changes every day. This is big news to Daozhu. I just need to find a place to rest every day, and then I will change the general's Just tell your seniors about the changes."

This...is the change in General Thunder really that big?Xia Yu was extremely confused when he heard Zaoyou talking about this.

In my own opinion, General Raiden just likes to observe the details of her cooking every day, and then teaches her the techniques and experience of Tai Sword that she summarized.In terms of personality alone, General Raiden's serious yet slightly off-kilter attitude has hardly changed at all.

Maybe it was because I came to Inazuma for such a short time that I didn’t feel it?Thinking of this, Xia Yu, who felt a little curious, asked Zaoyu: "In your opinion, how different is the original Thunder and Lightning General from now?"

"Well..." Zayou, who was asked, had a troubled look on his face. He raised his hand and scratched the little guy on top of his head and whispered, "It's not a good idea to discuss this issue outside... Anyway, , Sir General seems to me to be... more 'smart' and easier to understand."

This...did General Thunder really change so much?Although he wanted to continue asking Zaoyu why she was so persistent in being lazy, Xia Yu still endured it considering that it involved the other party's privacy.

After learning enough information, Xia Yu finally understood She Fengxing's previous attitude toward him, which was to remain neutral and observe.In this case, Kamisato Ayaka's contact with her today should be that she was preparing to launch her action against the Eye Hunting Order after learning the relevant information about herself.

According to her, the society will try its best to let the general see the most real side of Inazuma during the parade. All she needs to do is to walk beside General Raiden.At present, it seems that we can trust the socialist side for the time being, at least the other side has no intention of harming us.

"Okay, that's it. I'll pay for this meal." Xia Yu, who was about to say goodbye to the little guy, stood up and paid the bill to the owner of Shimuraya and bought two pandan gourds. Xia Yu waved to the little guy. He waved goodbye and then walked towards the castle tower.

Phew...it's finally over.The end of the cross-examination also made Zaoyou breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the foreigner named Xia Yu asked a lot of questions, he really didn't embarrass himself too much. After answering honestly, he even got a free meal!

As long as you eat well and sleep well, you will definitely be able to grow taller. After jumping down from the seat, Zaoyu, who felt extremely satisfied, stretched out his hands and stretched out. "The next step is to pick up the lost equipment and report today's intelligence to Luye-senpai. What should I say..." The little guy, who was planning to find a reason to continue to be lazy and rest, held his chin with one hand and began to think carefully. got up.

"Just say that this is a special task arranged by the head of the family, and you need to accompany Zaoyou secretly along the way." The elegant male voice from behind made Zaoyou frown.

"It's not okay to follow in secret. You have to move around on this mission, so you can't be lazy..." Halfway through the answer, Haoyou suddenly felt something was wrong, and then immediately turned his head.

Sky blue men's short hair, with a white base and a noble purple print color scheme, the appearance of a young man dragging two unconscious masked men in his field of vision caused Zayou's brain to suddenly fall into a short-circuit state.

"Every family..." The little guy, who was frightened and stuttered, stood completely where he was. "Master, I'm sorry! I won't be lazy this time!"

"It doesn't matter, you just need to follow him and the General as usual. As for my sister, remember not to tell her that I have come back for the time being. This will be more conducive to my actions. As for what to think What's the reason? This is what you are best at, Zaoyou."

"Yes! Master of the family, Hayao is going to complete the mission right now!" The young man couldn't help laughing as he looked at his little subordinate who saluted to him and then fled like a whirlwind.

"This rice wife is going to change after all..."

Chapter 194 Today’s game, the winner is General Thunder.

Returning to the mansion with the pandan melon bought from the owner of Shimuraya, Xia Yu, who entered the pot cave, began to look at this melon vegetable, which is the most common in Inazuma.

The shiny and smooth purple skin is very reminiscent of eggplants from the original world. The muffled sound of the ripe fruit when you press it lightly with your fingers and the hard skin feel are somewhat similar to winter melon. I took a kitchen knife and cut it open along the middle seam. After opening, the white, hard and crispy interior of the melon feels very much like a potato...

What kind of suture monster is this?Xia Yu, who once again experienced the joy of cooking with new ingredients, took off a small piece of melon meat and brought it to his teeth to bite. The bitterness that spread to the entire tongue made Xia Yu tighten his lips.

The taste is unbearable!It's like bitter melon with the green and astringent taste of green peppercorn oil... After quickly picking up the sunflower seeds from the refrigerator to relieve the uncomfortable feeling in my mouth, I looked at the ones placed on the table that seemed to be mocking me. Xia Yu showed a helpless smile on the violet melon that was cut in half.

No wonder the boss of Shimuraya mentioned that a mouthful of violet melon must be processed before it can be eaten. The taste of eating it raw is no different from that of execution.

So, boiling, frying, roasting, and simple steaming, which processing methods are effective, and what kind of different taste will you get in the end?Xia Yu cut the violet into several parts and started his own experiment.

This kind of weird-looking melon is the most interesting to deal with!

————————————————————————

In the courtyard of the castle tower, General Thunder and Lightning was sitting quietly waiting for Xia Yu to come for sword training. However, Xia Yu's figure failed to arrive in the small courtyard as scheduled for a long time.

Where has Xia Yu... gone?General Thunder was a little confused when Xia Yu violated the agreement for the first time.

After these few days of contact, General Leiden roughly figured out the personality and life philosophy of this somewhat special human named Xia Yu.This is an optimistic person who will never break his promise as long as he promises to do something.

Judging from Xia Yu's performance in the past few days, his serious expression when wielding the sword really made him feel the subtle changes in the muscles of his body when he wielded the sword without any distractions.This attitude of focusing all his attention on practice is what he most recognizes about Xia Yu.

If such a person masters the art, his progress will be quite fast.

But...what's going on today?If Xia Yu was not here, let alone the serious issue of breaking his promise, his creator Balzeb's progress in feeling the breath of heaven would also stop...

General Raiden, who planned to see what Xia Yu was doing, walked to the residence for Xia Yu in the castle tower. After gently knocking the door, General Raiden, who was waiting for Xia Yu's answer, did not get any response.

Could it be that he's not here?Or is it that the paths he and Xia Yu took were divergent and that led to her not being able to see him... That's not right!I saw with my own eyes that Xia Yu walked into his room carrying two guava, and there was only one way to get here from the backyard of the castle tower.Sensing the situation in the room, General Leiden fell into silence when he failed to find anyone in the room.

There was no breath of living people inside... After pushing open the door, when General Thunder saw the Dongtianguan disc on the inner door that entered the cave in the pot, all his doubts were naturally answered.

That's right...if he were there, he would indeed not be able to sense Xia Yu's presence, and the two melons Xia Yu was holding...connected all the clues, and General Thunder didn't know the answer that was about to come out. Why do I feel a little at ease?

While in that special space, Xia Yu spent most of his time cooking food. Could it be that he was too focused on making food and forgot about his spiritual practice?Just as the Thunderbolt General was about to follow him and step into the Cave in the Pot, the voice of Balzebul, who had lodged his spirit in his dream, stopped the Thunderbolt General.

"Let me go this time. The most important thing in practice is persistence. It's up to me to tell him this truth..." Before Shadow, who planned to replace the thunder and lightning general puppet, entered the cave in the pot, finished speaking, the general puppet Gave his own answer.

"turn down."

General Raiden's objections with a flat tone made Ying somewhat unable to recover.Feeling the firm attitude of General Thunder and Lightning at this moment, Ying could not imagine that General Thunder and Lightning would contradict him on this matter.

ha! ?Why is this?

Although I set quite a lot of restrictions for myself when creating Raiden Shogun, for example, considering the eternity period implemented by Inazuma, I might also be planning to give up due to a change in mentality. At this time, Raiden The shogun doll will then oppose his own opinion and continue to carry out the eternal strategy that Inazuma needs.

But this is already related to Inazuma's situation. It's just entering a pot in a cave or something. Why would General Raiden raise objections?

"What's the reason?" Ying, who was trying not to get angry, roughly guessed what General Thunder and Lightning was thinking.

Although his mental body is silent in his dream, he is not ignorant of the external situation.

Since General Thunder and Lightning can always taste some different kinds of delicacies every time he enters the Cave in the Pot, could it be that the perfect General Thunder and Lightning he created has been conquered by food?Kage, who was waiting for General Raiden's answer, had already made plans to forcibly replace the general's puppet.

Even though she had given up her physical body, the main body of the general doll had become the general doll itself. She could make her understand that it was impossible to change if she wanted to, and she could do it reluctantly.No matter what, Ying couldn't imagine that it was the Thunderbolt General puppet who had changed before him.

"The reason is simple, because Ying, you don't know how to cook." The words of the general puppet directly cut through Ying's inner defense line like an invisible knife drawn by the indestructible dream.

ha! ? ?Why does entering the Cave in the Pot have anything to do with whether you know how to cook?

To be honest, cooking is such a troublesome way of life... I am indeed not very good at it, but what does this have to do with entering the cave in the pot?Could it be that learning how to cook has become the ticket to enter the cave in the pot?Kage, who felt that the general was a bit arrogant and unreasonable, was unusually angry.

"When it comes to the skill of using the sword, I am superior to you. When it comes to who is the real Inazuma Raijin, it is me. Shogun Doll, tell me why you want to use such a lame excuse as cooking to stop my actions."

Kage, who had a slightly angry tone in his voice, had already made a plan. If the shogun doll really couldn't come up with any proper reason, then he would have to let her go to the 'Dream Paradise' under Narukami Taisha Shrine.

There, he can have a more direct communication with the general puppet, use his own knife to explain the truth to the other party, or the general puppet can convince him. This is the last insurance he has left for himself.

"It's very simple." Hearing Ying Na's somewhat angry tone, General Raiden didn't react too much, as if he had already finished his creation, and his tone was full of confidence. General Raiden said: "Because while in the cave in the pot, this body will also be reminded by Xia Yu to train and participate in the practice of cooking."

"Just like Xia Yu practiced the art of Ga-ryu no Tachi in the castle tower, after entering the pot cave, the positions of this body and Xia Yu changed. As a student of Xia Yu, I also need to take Xia Yu's cooking-related suggestions seriously. , if you come forward..."

Although General Raiden has not finished speaking, Ying can already guess the content of the second half.

What General Thunder and Lightning wanted to express was that he didn't know how to cook. After entering the Cave in the Pot, if Xia Yu wanted him to handle matters related to cooking, his complete inability to cook would be exposed. At this time, General Thunder and Lightning had obviously learned Xia Yu's suspicion was bound to be aroused by the fact that he suddenly couldn't cook despite knowing the cooking method.

This... faced with General Thunder's impeccable answer, Ying couldn't think of how to fight back for a while.

Feeling the silence of the shadow of his dream, General Leiden, who waited for about half a minute, continued: "So, from now on, all the matters of entering the pot cave and talking to Xia Yu are left to me." Again. The sound of the general's puppet walking toward the gate of Huzhong Cave was like a knife piercing Ying's heart again and again.

Excuse!They are all excuses!Obviously you want to eat delicious food again!We still need to find a reason for such a grandeur!Woo...wow!

Why! !Why can’t I do anything related to cooking...

————————————————————————

Sure enough, it's a lot of fun to handle a food like this sea melon!Xia Yu, who had roughly figured out the characteristics of the violet melon, couldn't help but laugh.

If we just talk about the method of getting rid of the annoying bitter and astringent taste of violet melon, it is actually very simple. As long as the violet melon is heated to a certain temperature, the taste in the violet melon will disappear naturally.

Among all my experiments, whether steaming, boiling, frying, or roasting, I have achieved the ultimate goal of removing the bitter and astringent taste and making the violet melon edible. However, the only thing to note is that the boiled method is used. The bitter taste of the cordiale prepared in this way penetrates into the soup.

In other words, if you use boiling method to cook cordiale, pre-boiling work is necessary.

Next is the different taste of the results obtained by each method.Perhaps due to the influence of heat temperature, the taste of melons cooked by gentle methods such as boiling and steaming is very similar to the process of eggplants slowly softening during steaming or boiling. You only need to grasp the best time to cook them. , the cordiale made in this way can have a soft but not watery texture.

As for the guava prepared by frying, stir-frying or roasting, it may be that the instantaneous temperature is too high, causing some changes in its properties that you cannot understand. The taste of the violet cooked in this way will become somewhat different. As soft as a sweet potato.

Of course, this is all based on the premise that the cooking time is properly grasped. No matter which cooking method is used, if it is overheated, the end result will be a mess of 'soft mud'.

Another interesting thing is the outer skin of the pandan gourd. The shiny purple skin of the pandan gourd does not have any odor compared to the white flesh inside. The purple juice also has an inexplicable refreshing sweetness.

The unique raw materials of another world are really interesting~

I just don’t know what the result will be if I pickle the violets in the same way as making kimchi?Since there was only one complete melon left in his hand, making kimchi requires relative 'completeness'. Xia Yu, who wanted to try making some new dishes, had to slightly change the idea of ​​making 'kimchi melon'. Then let it go.

If you combine the two states, take advantage of the fact that the pandan gourds will soften when cooked and control them until they just start to soften. In this case, wrap them in a layer of egg batter and put them in a pan and fry them in an instant. Take them out and get the panioles. What changes will happen to the melon?

Just when Xia Yu was about to start trying, a figure walking in the distance made Xia Yu stop holding the violet melon and the kitchen knife.

It's General Raiden, by the way... I seem to have been too focused on cooking, and ended up forgetting about the practice of tachi swordsmanship!General Thunder and Lightning is here to remind himself...

"Well... I'm really sorry!" Xia Yu apologized to the approaching Thunder General with a very sincere attitude. "Because today I came across an interesting and unique ingredient that is popular among Inazuma, so I over-invested in the research." After explaining the reason, Xia Yu waited quietly like a primary school student who knew where he was wrong. Admonitions from General Thunder.

This feeling is exactly the same as the concentration she had when practicing martial arts in Balzebul's memory... When it comes to cooking, Xia Yu and Ying have exactly the same attitude towards knife skills. They are focused and clear. There must be no pollution from the outside world.The attitude shown by Xia Yu was recognized by General Thunder.

"It's okay... This kind of attentive attitude is commendable, but you need to remember to distinguish the occasion." After speaking simply, General Thunder looked in the direction of the cooking table where Xia Yu was operating.

Coriander melon is indeed the most common popular ingredient in Inazuma.However, because it is too popular, the members of the Sanfong Xing who are responsible for their own diet generally do not use this raw material that they consider to be too 'low-end' in their own cuisine.

On the counter next to it, there were fried guava slices with golden batter coating like deep-fried tempura, and steamed guava slices made with Liyue's unique spices that Xia Yu told him a few days ago. The sauces and fragrant dishes aroused General Raiden's curiosity.

What will the violet melon that originally belonged to Inazuma taste like?The eternity he maintains is a dream paradise-like existence where thousands of Inazuma people can live in peace of mind. How can he not understand the taste of this most basic Inazuma food?

"Can I have a taste?" The words spoken by General Thunder made Xia Yu unable to react for a while.

"Ah? Of course it's no problem! General, please feel free to do whatever you want!"

Chapter 195 Game, the battle between General Thunder and Shadow. Arataki who regained the Eye of God

Ah...it's food made from guava. Although I haven't tasted it for a long time, when we were still together, guava could often be seen in the small desserts and snacks made by Foxsai Palace... The familiar feeling made Kage, who was stagnant in the pure land of one mind and observing the outside world through General Thunder, once again recall the past events that she missed so much but was filled with sadness.

What has been lost can never be brought back... Therefore, I hope that Inazuma's time will always stay at the current progress.Sad memories further deepen Ying's obsession with eternity.

"Ah wu, chew chew chew..."

So far, I have experienced too much pain. Compared with me as an immortal species, human life span basically passes in a moment. Use your own experience to prevent the people of Inazuma from stepping into these things. Detours, this is my own awakening.

"Suck it~"

At the same time, the demise of Kanria is also a warning to various countries in Teyvat. Over-rapid development will eventually bring over-inflated self-confidence to the point of arrogance and almost complete destruction of the country. My sister is under the pressure of Sky Island. Even after becoming the God of Thunder, I couldn't explain how much I had to bear, so...

"Well, it tastes good."

Enough!Do you know how he was given up by himself when the country collapsed?Because he shed tears in his sleep!This is a sign of weakness, hesitation, and an inability to perform eternity!It is precisely because these are not conducive to eternal existence that I did not let him become the depositor of the Heart of God!

And now, how dare you do this to make me angry with a prosthetic doll made from my body!

Wow!

Xia Yu didn't ask you to cook!I also want to try the dishes and desserts made with guava!Substitute!let me out!I want to change someone!I also want to eat food that looks delicious!

General Raiden's expression looked good as he tasted some of the dishes and snacks he had made using guava. From this point of view, this trial should be considered a success.Xia Yu, who had been observing General Thunder's taste the whole time, breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed her faster and faster movements.

The fried tempura of pandan slices with mayonnaise seems to be very popular, and the salty pandan made by steaming it and drizzling it with soy sauce and scallion oil seems to be well accepted. Also, Raiden General is currently moving towards using pandan for himself. The sweet purple juice extracted from the rind of the melon is used to make the crystal-skinned glutinous rice dumplings. The sweet taste should go well with the filling made from red beans.

Well, after all, compared to the first time he came into contact with the violet melon, he was quite good at using various juices with different sweetness. Seeing the General Thunderbolt extending his hand towards the purple dumpling, Xia Yu's heart was filled with excitement. confidence.

However, an unexpected situation occurred. General Raiden, who had reached his hand halfway, stopped as if frozen. For about half a second, General Raiden, who picked up the dumplings, frowned slightly and moved slightly. Became inexplicably slow.

This... could it be that Tuanzi's approach does not conform to her aesthetics?Or does this dumpling bring back some bad memories for her?General Thunder and Lightning's completely different situation from before made Xia Yu feel inexplicably nervous, but he didn't know how to ask.

After waiting for a long time, General Raiden's expression finally returned to normal. He put the dumpling to his mouth and took a small bite. The god of rice wife chewed it gently with a look of enjoyment on his face, but it was not too small. For a moment, a look that clearly represented trouble appeared on General Thunder's brow again.

General Thunder put his hand in front of his heart and a dazzling purple light emitted from his body. Xia Yu was shocked when he saw this scene.Although this scene is quite exciting for me, but... this is the unique action of General Raiden pulling out her sword "Dream Isshin"!

There was no one else around except himself and Lei Slime, who sensed the raging thunder element and came to join in the fun, no way... could it be that he really touched some minefield, and as a result, General Thunder and Lightning just ate a dumpling? I'm going to kill myself! ?

A chill ran down his spine, and the hairs all over his body stood up one by one, and his forehead was suddenly covered with beads of sweat. Xia Yu, who was about to ask Wuxiang Lei for help, found that the other party seemed to have no intention of paying attention to him.

This...

Just when Xia Yu opened his mouth to ask and make a final struggle, the Dream Isshin pulled out by General Thunder did not come out as Xia Yu imagined. Instead, it was handed to him calmly.

"Xia Yu, take it, we have tasted the food, it's time to practice your subsequent sword skills." Xia Yu felt as if the imperial gold medal for immunity from death was found at the last moment, his hands and feet felt weak, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Afterwards, Xia Yu, who took the dream from General Thunder, seemed to understand something.

That's right... General Raiden said last time that there was a being similar to the sword spirit in Dream One's heart, and the sword spirit that seemed to be a bit greedy kept distracting himself by talking about food-related topics.He was scolded by General Thunder for this.
