Chapter 168 Ningguang: Yuhengxing, Are You Polite?

"Oh, that's it. I thought Liyue was no longer sick."

"Haha, of course not. There are still some problems. Although the emergence of "Original God" has greatly enhanced the physical fitness of the people of Liyue, all of this is acquired and cannot be inherited."

"As for the elderly, their health has begun to fail, so children and the elderly will still suffer from problems such as wind and cold, but the probability is much smaller than before."

"No matter how powerful the emperor is, he cannot guarantee that everyone will live a smooth life. He can only take care of most people. Now the emperor has passed away, but I believe that Liyue will be better in the future, and I hope that Bu Lu will be better. There are fewer and fewer customers.”

After hearing Bai Zhu's words, Paimeng looked puzzled and said, "But wouldn't there be no business if we don't do this?"

"I hope that no one in the world is sick, even if the medicine on the shelf is covered in dust."

After sighing, Baizhu continued: "Being a doctor is to save people. If people don't get sick and hurt, I can feel a lot more relaxed. Life is pretty good now."

Paimeng praised Bai Shu: "So that's what Bai Shu thinks? It's really amazing."

Changsheng also echoed on Bai Shu's neck: "Yeah, Bai Shu is a great doctor."

"Haha, it's not as powerful as you say."

"Hmm, so what Mr. Baizhu means is to prepare some medicinal meals suitable for the elderly and children?"

After listening to Xiang Ling's words, Qiqi replied: "I don't like medicinal food."

After listening to Qiqi and Xiangling's words, Baizhu suddenly realized that the other party was asking him for food: "Sorry, my thinking is too biased. There are too many people taking medicine recently, and I can't help but think too much... I have to To put it bluntly, it’s caused by the recent weather changes.”

Paimon concluded: "It's not without reference value. Dishes suitable for the season and suitable for all ages are indeed a good choice."

Unlike everyone's serious discussion, the atmosphere between Ying and Guoba was full of joy.

"Hey, Guo Ba, I rolled another 6. All my chess pieces have come out." Ying said to Guo Ba with a smile.

"Lu!" Guo Ba looked at the opponent's chess pieces with a shocked look on his face, but he only used one.

"I definitely won this one."

"Lu, Lu. Lu!" Guo Ba picked up the dice and threw it down unconvinced.

Xiang Ling touched her chin and analyzed: "Medicinal diet pays more attention to the balance of preparation than home-cooked food. Although I usually don't focus on medicinal ingredients when cooking, but this time I am competing... Considering the combination of taste and effect, it should be able to add points to the dishes."

"If it has connotation, it will definitely be better and everyone will like it." Qiqi said.

Xiangling smiled and thanked Baizhu and the others: "It's a very useful suggestion, thank you."

Qiqi replied: "It doesn't matter. As long as I can help."

Xiangling listened to Qiqi's words and said excitedly: "The doctor's perspective is different, I'm very inspired."

Bai Shu smiled and nodded: "If you reward me, please reward me."

Changsheng praised Xiangling: "You are very good at listening to suggestions. It seems that you are a good cook."

"Xiang Ling likes to study cooking the most. She spends all her time on it." Paimon said with a smile.

After listening to what a few people said, Xiang Ling said with some embarrassment: "Hey... everyone has some hobbies. My hobby is cooking! But I usually use my brain alone. This time I have new ideas, so it should be different. product."

Paimon cheered: "It shows that this trip was not in vain, that's great."

"Okay, let's go ask others next. I've asked people who have strange ideas and people who think from the perspective of people's livelihood... Next, let's ask those who are picky."

Paimon suggested: "If you are picky, then that's the only one. Let's go to Yujing Terrace and ask."

After finishing speaking, Paimeng said to Guoba and Ying who were still playing chess: "Ying, stop playing chess. Let's go to Yujing Terrace and have a look."

Ying replied: "Okay, let's go now."

Under Guo Ba's shocked eyes, Ying put away the chessboard on the ground like a storm, and then followed a few people to Yujing Terrace as if nothing had happened.

"Lou!"

Guo Ba accused Ying of this despicable behavior. He was almost winning, but Ying took the chessboard away.

Xiangling looked at the excited Guoba and thought he still wanted to play, so she said helplessly: "Guoba, don't be playful. Listen to Paimeng. Let's go to Yujing Terrace and ask first."

"Lu?" Guoba stared at Xiangling who misinterpreted his meaning, and suddenly felt so lost.

Looking at the disappointed Guo Ba, Xiang Ling comforted him and said, "Okay, okay, after we finish this, I will have some fun with you, okay."

Guo Ba narrowed his eyes and nodded happily: "Lu!"

Everyone came to Yujing Terrace and found Ke Qing, Beidou and Ning Guang talking around a big stone on the field.

"Huh? Traveler, Paimon, and Xiangling?" Keqing shouted in confusion.

Paimon also asked in surprise: "Keqing, are you back?"

"It's Zhuyue Festival, of course I have to come back." Ke Qing nodded.

"Oh? Do you mean you won't come back from Zhuyuejie?" Ningguang said as he looked at Keqing, who was wearing a blue-purple feather skirt.

"Well, Liyue Qixing is really troublesome. I have to find a way to get rid of this identity."

Ning Guang: "."

Ningguang looked at Keqing with confusion on his face, who had changed drastically after not seeing each other for a while. Not only had his clothes changed, but he was no longer active in his work. He became like the Emperor and the Immortal Lord, who likes fishing, so he was accepted by the Immortal Lord as his wife. Disciple, will even Ke Qing, who is passionate about her work, turn into a salty fish?

Ning Guang thought for a while but didn't get an answer. He turned to greet a few people and said, "Guys, long time no see."

Beidou smiled and joked: "Yo! What kind of wind brings you here?"

Paimon smiled and said, "Everyone is gathered together."

Xiangling asked in confusion: "What happened?"

"There is a big stone on the ground." Pamon said, pointing to the big stone in the center.

Keqing looked at the stone in front of her and said, "It's a long story... Anyway, I want to make it clear first that I will handle this stone whose origin is not yet clear. You two have no objections, right?"

Beidou agreed: "Keqing always handles things vigorously and resolutely. I can rest assured if I leave it to you."

"I have an objection. You can't use force against this stone. And Beidou, you said this because you don't trust my skills?" Ningguang said, and glanced at Beidou next to him.

After hearing Ningguang's words, Beidou said with an unconvinced look on his face: "Huh? Keqing runs outside no matter the wind or rain, so it's very different from you. Besides, you don't care about this, so what are you worrying about!"

Ning Guang raised his head and said, "It's just a joke. You hit the snake and followed the stick, scolded me, and left other travelers aside."

"Moreover, the Keqing you mentioned is indeed running outside regardless of wind or rain, but it is for vacation, and she also took away Yuehaiting's secretary, which gave us a lot more work."

Keqing glanced at Ningguang and said, "Huh."

Anyway, whatever she says, you will stop working after a while. You will have more work at that time, and you will also have working hours restricted by the emperor. You will see if you are in a hurry.

Ying was silent for a moment and asked: "Did we come at the wrong time?"

"How could it be? You guys want to know about the stone, right? Then ask the great navigator Captain Beidou to introduce you to it." Ningguang said while pointing to Beidou next to him.

"It's okay for this woman to hum."

After listening to Ning Guang's words, Beidou snorted: "It's quite a big stone, right? The surface is still very smooth, and it looks like there is some treasure inside."

Keqing explained: "This thing was fished out by fishermen from the shallow sea. It looks like it has been sinking in the water for many years and was washed like this."

"However, I want to cut open the stone to see what's inside, but Ning Guang doesn't agree to it."

After listening to Keqing's words, Ningguang snorted and said, "Huh, what if this stone is really some precious antique? Aren't you damaging it by doing this?"

Ke Qing glanced at Ning Guang and said calmly: "It's just a stone. Whatever you want, I'll make one for you."

Ning Guang replied unconvinced: "Can you do the same thing?"

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you." Ke Qing said and stopped talking.

Ning Guang saw that Ke Qing was not ready to speak, so he turned to the others and said, "Things that cannot be privately owned have to be handed over to the public. If we leave them here, they can feel more at ease."

"What's in the stone?" Xiang Ling asked doubtfully.

"This stone has been tested by Ningguang. Ordinary swords and guns have no effect on it at all. I said I would give it a try, but Ningguang disagreed." Keqing expressed her opinion again.

Looking at the paranoid Ke Qing, Ningguang also explained with a headache: "I told you not to chop. I know you are very strong, but this stone gives me a very important feeling. It is not an ordinary stone. You have such a sword." Wouldn’t it be ruined if we went down?”

"An invulnerable stone? It sounds very powerful, but why does Ningguang say this is an important stone? He won't let Keqing try it." Paimeng asked with some confusion.

Ningguang explained: "I don't know. I didn't feel this way when I tried it on this stone with ordinary swords and guns at first, but Keqing took out her sword and was eager to try on this stone. When I was young, I suddenly had this feeling, because I knew that if Keqing's sword struck, the stone would definitely be split."

"Forget it, let me hear what you want. I don't want this stone anymore. You can handle it." Keqing glanced at Ningguang and said.

"I still want it, so thank you Yu Hengxing for your kindness." Ningguang said with a smile to Ke Qing.

Keqing glanced at Ningguang and said, "Humph, you want it but I won't give it to you."

"By the way, travelers, are you here to find someone?" Ke Qing turned to Ying and asked.

Paimon replied, "Oh! We're looking for all of you."

After hearing Paimeng's words, Ningguang asked doubtfully: "Did something earth-shattering happen?"

Xiangling hurriedly explained: "No, it's not! Paimon said it was too exaggerated...Actually, I'm just here to inquire about your food preferences."

After hearing Xiangling's explanation, Keqing touched her chin and said, "Eat? What a sudden question."

"My taste is very simple, fine, simple, pure and fine, that's all."

After listening to Ningguang's words, Beidou sneered and said, "Is this called simplicity? There is no one more picky than you."

"Four words can summarize my request, isn't it simple?" Ningguang said to Beidou with a puzzled look on his face.

Beidou said to Ningguang with a calm expression: "Stay at sea for a few weeks, and I'm sure that your wealth-related disease will be cured."

"Where's Sister Beidou?" Xiang Ling asked, looking at Beidou who was mocking Ningguang.

Hearing Xiang Ling's words, Beidou changed his previous expression and replied with a smile on Xiang Ling's face: "I... any fresh and hot dishes are fine. It would be great if you can add some spicy food."

Paimon suggested from the side: "How about some appetizers?"

"Hahaha, of course!"

"As expected, it's still seafood." Keqing thought for a moment and replied.

Paimon asked in confusion: "Does Keqing actually like to eat seafood?"

"Hmm, seafood, hot dishes, concise and refined..." After listening to what a few people said, Xiangling rubbed her chin and thought.

"It sounds like these have nothing in common." Pamon spread his hands and said.

Xiangling replied: "Not necessarily, you should know about Golden Shrimp. To make this dish, the shrimps must be washed and trimmed, wrapped in very finely shredded potatoes, and fried in oil. It’s a true Kung Fu dish!”

"The appearance is exquisite, the aroma is pure and simple, the presentation is simple, but the techniques used are very sophisticated...it fits Miss Ningguang's four-character summary."

After hearing Xiang Ling's explanation, Paimeng scratched his head and said, "It turns out that the true meaning of cooking is also the same as what is said in that sentence? It never changes from its origin!"

When Keqing heard Xiangling mentioning her favorite dish, she quickly agreed: "Exactly. The golden shrimp balls have both beauty and taste, and are a very valuable dish."

After listening to what Ke Qing said, Xiang Ling nodded with a clear expression and said, "Yeah, I understand, Ke Qing likes golden shrimp balls the most..."

Paimeng also nodded and agreed: "Yes, I also remembered that Keqing always ordered this dish when she was at Wanmintang."

"Well, the golden shrimp balls are delicious." Ke Qing nodded.

Beidou smiled and said, "Hahaha, just ask."

"Okay~ The opinions of the three people have been collected. Thank you, I will refer to it carefully!"

Keqing suddenly said to Ying and Paimon: "By the way, Traveler, Paimon, do you have any plans for the future?"

Ying replied: "Not yet."

"I would like to ask you to come with me to investigate the matter about this stone."

"But why are you looking for us? If I'm right, you can do it alone, Keqing." Paimon asked doubtfully.

Keqing replied: "Because I think you can give me a lot of help in this regard."

After listening to Keqing's words, Paimon said with a smile: "There are specialties in the art, and we are the best search experts!"

Ke Qing nodded and said: "That's right. Gong, we Qixing have the responsibility to give the fishermen an explanation. Privately, I also have some things that I want to verify. Therefore, I will invite the best helpers to follow up on this matter personally. "

"You should already know the approximate origin of the Moon-Chasing Festival. However, I personally have some other opinions on this traditional festival."

"My grandfather was a scholar who studied Liyue's traditional culture. He wrote in his notes that there was a Kitchen God in ancient Liyue, and people seemed to commemorate this god at specific seasons."

"The classics recording the Kitchen God are rare, and the text content is also very confusing. Some schools of thought believe that the Kitchen God is Lord Yan, while others point out that the Kitchen God is someone else..."

"There is also a folk anecdote. It is said that the ancients once found a shrine of the Kitchen God. However, there was no statue of the god in it, only a huge stone with a smooth surface."

"The huge stone was lost during subsequent transportation, and its whereabouts are still unknown. This stone happens to have the same characteristics, and may be the one that disappeared that year."

"My grandfather has studied ancient books for many years and put forward a hypothesis: the commemoration of the Kitchen God can be called the Kitchen God Festival. This festival may be the prototype of the Zhuyue Festival."

"To prove this, we need to find out the true identity of the Kitchen God."

"Now Liyue has entered the era of human rule. As descendants, we should value cultural traditions just like the emperor."

"Well, you're right, but you don't look like a human being anymore, do you?" Ning Guang glanced at Ke Qing, who was full of fairy spirit, and complained.

Ke Qing glanced at Ning Guang and said, "Don't interrupt, I just said yes. This is what my master taught me."

Ningguang: "."

Yuhengxing, are you polite? Isn’t it great to have a master? But why do I feel so sour in my heart?

Seeing that Ning Guang was silent, Ke Qing continued: "So I think I should handle this matter. It can not only verify history, but also carry forward tradition, and also verify my grandfather's inference. Kill three birds with one stone."

"It's been two or three days since this stone was delivered. Before it appeared, we had just decided that the theme of this year's Lunar Festival would be food. Maybe... this is also God's will."

"Well, why can't you ask your master directly?" Paimon asked doubtfully.

"Ahem, Master is very busy. I'd better not disturb her. With our current ability, we can find out this matter."

Ying frowned and said, "That's good, but we still have Xiangling's commission in hand."

Xiang Ling hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. You have to do business, right? Don't mind me."

"After all, I just...huh? Wait...I thought of it!"

"What? You yelled suddenly." Ke Qing looked at Xiang Ling in confusion and said.

Xiangling suggested: "Keqing, if you want to investigate, can you take me with you?"

"Huh? But..."

Xiang Ling explained: "Since we are investigating the Kitchen God, maybe there will be clues related to cooking food along the way, which can provide inspiration for me to participate in the cooking competition!"

"Please, please take me with you, I will help!"

"Since you have asked me like that, okay."

Hearing Keqing's words, Xiangling said happily: "Really? Thank you, you are so kind!"

"Hey! Then...then let's set off. I heard that there are many ancient books in Qingce Manor, I want to go there to ask first."

Paimeng nodded and said: "I understand, then let's set off for Qingce Manor!"

"Wait a minute, Ganyu will also go with me, let's find a place to wait for her." Keqing said hurriedly.

"Oh, Ganyu, I haven't seen her for a while, what is she doing now?" Paimeng said.

Keqing explained: "Well, these things happened after we came back, and then we were busy for a while. Now Ganyu is almost done with her work. Investigating this matter is not considered work for us."

"Keqing, when did you have a master? Is he also an immortal? Why don't I know." Xiangling asked curiously.

Keqing replied, "Master is also an immortal, and I became his disciple not long ago."

"Oh, I don't know which immortal she is, how can I know?"

"This is not a secret in the immortal family. My master is called Liusu."

"Liusu? Is she the white-haired woman wearing a white dress with golden and green tree patterns?"

Keqing nodded and said, "Yes, Master always goes to Wanmin Hall for dinner, you must have seen her."

"My father and I know that she is an immortal, but we don't know which one she is, because apart from my master Grandma Ping and the immortals who came to Liyue last time, I don't know the other hidden ones."

Paimeng explained on the side: "Hehe, Xiangling, you don't know this, right? Liusu has a name, called the Immortal Lord."

Xiangling said excitedly: "Wow! It turns out that the Immortal Lord of Liyue is her. I didn't expect that the Immortal Lord who no one in Liyue has ever seen has been eating in our Wanmin Hall."

"Shh, don't tell this to anyone outside the immortal family, understand?" Keqing reminded hurriedly.

Xiangling nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, I know, because the Immortal King has passed away, I won't tell anyone about this, otherwise my master will punish me, I'm not stupid."

"However, since the Immortal King is fine, then the Emperor..."

"Don't say it, don't say it." Keqing said seriously.

"I know, I'm so happy." Xiangling understood something from Keqing's expression and was very excited.
