Chapter 173 Your Cooking Machine Is Useless

Xiang Ling asked: "Really? That's good...Master must also miss the Kitchen God very much, right? I think the way you talk about the Kitchen God is like talking about a very close friend."

Grandma Ping said sadly: "Yes, the past is really nostalgic."

"Keqing, I can't tell you the answer directly. You must think so too, because this process is very important to you, right? This is why you followed Xiangling to ask me instead of going to her directly."

Keqing nodded and said, "Yes."

"Your grandfather also studied the Kitchen God. It's up to you, who inherited the mystery, to pursue these stories yourself."

"I understand, thank you Zhenjun." Keqing thanked him.

"Grandma Ping actually knows Keqing's grandfather?" Paimon asked in confusion.

Ying glanced at Paimon and said, "Isn't this normal? Grandma Ping is an immortal. It's not surprising to know this, right?"

Grandma Ping replied with a smile: "Of course, everyone in Liyue is my old friend. At that time, her grandfather was just like her... he was still a young man."

"They are both grandfather and grandson, they are really carved from the same mold. They are conscientious and persistent in everything, and they have the courage to practice."

After hearing what Grandma Ping said, Keqing shouted with some embarrassment: "Zhenjun."

"Haha, but now, his granddaughter is more promising. If she is favored by Xianjun, she will definitely go further in the future, because we all believe that Xianjun has unlimited possibilities for Liyue. "

"Yeah, I think the master is very good. Now that I know some things, I feel that I have the ability to surpass the emperor." Ke Qing said seriously.

"Wow! Keqing, how can you say that!" Gan Yu exclaimed.

Grandma Ping smiled and comforted: "I can understand Keqing's thoughts, because as her disciple, it is a good thing to be confident, but surpassing the emperor is not that simple. You have to work harder."

"Does even Grandma Ping think so? That's when Qing Qing was really awesome." Xiang Ling said with excitement. She couldn't even think about surpassing the emperor.

"Haha, because of Keqing's efforts, all of us immortals see it, even the emperor."

Keqing shouted with a complicated look: "Zhenjun."

Grandma Ping turned to look at the golden tree on the horizon and said with emotion: "Liyue is like my most precious bonsai. I have watched it become more and more beautiful and prosperous with my own eyes. In the blink of an eye, another generation has grown up... It's great." "

"With new flowers on the branches, the tree can stay green forever. I think the immortal king thinks so too, right?"

After Grandma Ping finished sighing, she turned to everyone and said, "Everyone, your idea of ​​using the stone as a clue to investigate is absolutely correct. That huge stone is the lost Kitchen God statue, and all the secrets about the Kitchen God are hidden in it."

"I also want to see that stone. Please take me there to have a look. Maybe the truth will be revealed after a look."

"Want to go see the boulders? That's fine." Ke Qing nodded.

So everyone walked towards the direction of the boulder, and Ningguang happened to be here too.

Ning Guang glanced at Ke Qing and said, "Ke Qing, aren't you coming?"

"I just have something to do, it's not like I can't come over." Ke Qing replied expressionlessly.

"Hehehe, don't make any noise, don't make any noise." Grandma Ping said with a smile.

"True Lord." Grandma Ping Ningguang greeted her hurriedly when she saw him appearing from behind.

"Forget it, since Zhenjun said it, I'm too lazy to argue with you. Look, there is a crack in the corner of this stone." Ningguang pointed at the huge stone and said.

Everyone looked towards the stone, and sure enough, the previously smooth and intact stone had now exploded with holes.

"Hey, was it secretly smashed?" Paimon asked doubtfully.

Ningguang replied: "It should be naturally occurring. Our swords and guns have no effect on it."

Xiangling was also puzzled: "Why did it split?"

Grandma Ping looked at the cracked stone and said with a smile, "This is because all kinds of things among the people are the source of the Kitchen God's power. The heat of cooking, the joy of reunion... Haha, please work harder, I believe the truth will be revealed soon." ”

Paimeng thought: "The Kitchen God, Kitchen God, is said in books to be the god in charge of eating... Could it be that the stone is cracked because someone is working hard to cook?"

Keqing touched her chin and analyzed: "The statue will absorb the power of the people... If the Kitchen God is in charge of fire and cooking... could it be that people's efforts in cooking will be passed on to the Kitchen God statue?"

"The theme of this year's Moon Festival is the food and mountains and rivers designated by Ning Guang. Recently, all the chefs who plan to compete are making serious preparations... Paimeng's conjecture is not impossible."

Xiang Ling added from the side: "Moreover, many people go home for reunion dinner during the Zhuyue Festival. Recently, everywhere is very lively. When there are more people, the festive atmosphere becomes more vigorous."

"When Liyue is busy, the stone will crack. Does that mean that when the excitement reaches a certain level, the stone will explode completely?"

After listening to Paimeng's words, Xiangling said to Grandma Ping, "It must be true! Right, Master?"

Grandma Ping said with a smile: "Hahaha, you might as well give it a try."

"It would be great if it is related to cooking." Ningguang said: "This Kitchen King Competition will adopt the form of indoor preliminaries and outdoor finals. Everyone can come to watch the finals, and the atmosphere will be no problem."

Paimon said excitedly: "We can see the true face of Kitchen God after the finals, right?"

"It is indeed possible." Ningguang replied.

"I have signed up for the King of Kitchen Competition and I can help you." Xiang Ling turned to Ke Qing and said.

"Well, a chef as good as you will definitely make it to the finals." Keqing nodded.

Paimeng said with emotion: "I heard about the cooking competition. I'm so hungry... Wow, I'm so excited. It would be great if I could wake up to the finals!"

"Hehe, Paimeng, you only know how to eat. What else do you know besides eating?" Ying complained.

Paimeng replied angrily: "Hey, how can you say that to me? Isn't it because there are too many delicious foods?"

"Traveler, Paimeng, tomorrow is the preliminaries of the Chef King Competition. I have to prepare for the Chef King Competition. Let's wait two days for the investigation." Xiangling said to Ying.

Paimeng smiled and replied: "Hehe, it's okay. It's just right for us to take a good look around Liyue at this time. Xiangling must work hard."

"Yeah, I will work hard."

After a few days.

"Ying, let's set off for Ao Zang Mountain now. Calculating the time, it's the day agreed with Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun." Paimeng said to Ying.

How did you know that today is the agreed day? True Lord Liuyunjiefeng didn't say it was today.

Just thinking about this, Ying received a text message from True Lord Liuyunjiefeng.

Ying: "."

After reading the message from True Lord Liuyunjiefeng, Ying and Paimeng were teleported to Aozang Mountain with a tangled face, and came to the destination mentioned by True Lord Liuyunjiefeng, and True Lord Liuyunjiefeng was already fiddling with three boiler-like mechanisms here.

"Well, that's good," True Lord Liuyunjiefeng nodded while investigating.

True Lord Liuyunjiefeng turned around and saw Ying coming and said, "Traveler, you came at the right time. This immortal has just installed this mechanism."

"What is the use of this mechanism?" Ying asked in confusion.

True Lord Liuyunjiefeng replied: "This mechanism is called the cooking mechanism. It was designed and installed by this immortal personally, and it has infinite uses."

"Hmph, you are so impatient. Be patient, and let this immortal slowly tell you."

Ying: "???"

True Lord Liuyunjiefeng saw Ying's doubts and slowly said: "In order to make this cooking mechanism, this immortal consulted countless ancient books. You must know that there are several most important things in cooking."

"First, find ingredients. In cooking, ingredients are very important. In order to find rare ingredients, countless chefs have worked hard and run around..."

"My mechanism can solve this problem first."

"Just start this mechanism, it will automatically find the most suitable ingredients for cooking around, and mark the smell of the ingredients along the way. The chef only needs to follow the path."

Speaking of this, True Lord Liuyunjiefeng raised his head with a proud look, as if to say that this mechanism is powerful?

"Can't it get it by itself?" Ying replied expressionlessly.

"Well, this... I have only been studying this for a short time, so I cannot solve the problem of how the pot can automatically find its way on the rugged mountain road."

Ying complained: "This is useless. I remember the pot that Liusu used to cook. As long as she waved her hand when cooking, the ingredients would fly into the pot by themselves. Yours can only cook automatically, right?"

Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun changed the subject and said: "Let's not talk about this. Liusu is different from me and cannot be compared with her."

"Does Liuyun Zhenjun also know that he is not as good as Liusu?" Paimeng suddenly said.

Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun: "."

Paimeng, you can talk more, just say more, and see if I can deal with you when the time comes.

Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun thought of this and glanced at Paimeng and continued: "The second is cooking. This immortal has set up countless mechanical objects in the mechanism. Just put in the ingredients and it will automatically handle it properly."

Ying replied calmly: "Oh."

"Why are you not surprised?" Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun asked puzzledly.

Ying replied, "This is normal. There are so many mechanisms that can cook automatically."

"Many? Why haven't I seen them?" Paimeng scratched his head and asked in confusion.

Ying glanced at Paimeng and said, "Don't interrupt."

Paimeng: "."

"In addition, according to my experience, the most annoying chore for chefs during cooking is cleaning the stove."

"Otherwise, after a feast, you still have to clean the leftovers in the pot, which is really a bit of a downer..."

Ying asked, "Do you sell this mechanism?"

The ability to clean the stove is good. You don't have to wash the pot when you cook outside in the future.

"Hahaha, I'm afraid you can't afford this mysterious device of mine." After hearing Ying's words, Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun said with satisfaction.

"Besides, this mechanism can only be driven by my immortal power at present, so it's useless for you to buy it back."

Ying looked at Master Liuyunjiefeng with suspicion and said, "What's the difference between what you said and me using wind element to wash the pot?"

Master Liuyunjiefeng listened to Ying's words and thought to himself, "Using wind element to wash the pot? This is indeed worth a try, it's much easier than using immortal power."

Wendy: You are so noble, you are so great, your wind element is used to wash the pot? ?

"Speaking of which, this improved version of the mechanism cooking machine has now been made. At the same time, this immortal has researched several unprecedented delicacies for testing."

"Improved version? That means Master Liuyun also made a mechanism cooking machine before, so what about the previous one?" Paimeng found the blind spot and asked Master Liuyunjiefeng.

Liuyunjiefeng Zhenjun replied: "Good question. The previous generations of cooking machines could not last more than a minute under the test of a purple-haired woman, and various problems would occur. However, there is no problem with this immortal's mechanism. Since there is a problem, this immortal will naturally correct it."

"Purple-haired woman? You mean Ying, right?" Paimeng said to Ying.

Ying replied: "Be more confident and get rid of your doubts, because Liusu said that Ying could not make a normal delicacy, so it is reasonable that Liuyunjiefeng Zhenjun's mechanism is damaged."

Paimeng couldn't help but complain: "Why can't you cook as a god?"

"Ahem, this immortal doesn't know either." Liuyunjiefeng Zhenjun replied: "This time, I invited you to come here to ask you to help me a little bit, collect those ingredients, and cook dishes according to those recipes."

"The first dish, this immortal hereby gives it the name: Wenxin Tofu."

"To make this dish, you need to cut the tofu into filaments... just right to test the knife skills of this mechanism."

"As for the ingredients? Tofu, ham, bamboo shoots and poultry are needed. I have asked Ganyu to prepare the ingredients. They are here..."

Speaking of this, Master Liuyunjiefeng turned his eyes to the ingredients he had just prepared. She said in surprise: "Huh? Where are the bamboo shoots? They were clearly placed here before. Could it be that I was too absorbed in setting up the mechanism and something took advantage of the opportunity to steal them..."

"Hmph, but come on, just in time to let you see the ability of the mechanism cooking machine to search for ingredients."

"Mechanism cooking machine, start."

After Master Liuyunjiefeng finished speaking, the mechanism cooking machine in front of him suddenly opened the lid, and a vague guidance floated to the distance, which must be the location of the bamboo shoots.

"Traveler, this immortal has already started the mechanism, you follow the breath and go get my bamboo shoots back."

"I don't want to go." Ying refused.

Master Liuyunjiefeng asked in confusion: "Huh?"

"I have bamboo shoots here, I'm too lazy to run." Ying replied.

True Lord Liuyunjiefeng: "."

Ying took out a small pile of bamboo shoots from his backpack under the gaze of True Lord Liuyunjiefeng. These were all collected near Qingce Village. The backpack also has a fresh-keeping function. Whatever you put in, you will take out the same way. There is no such thing as spoiling.

"That's good." True Lord Liuyunjiefeng coughed lightly and said, "Since the ingredients are ready, we can start cooking later."

"How do you cook this mechanism?" Ying asked in confusion.

"This mechanism, this and that, this and that, do you understand?"

Ying: "It feels so troublesome, it's better to do it manually."

"Ahem, even if it's just a small favor for me." True Lord Liuyunjiefeng said a little embarrassedly.

"Okay." Ying sighed helplessly and followed True Lord Liuyunjiefeng's instructions to activate the mechanism.

There are three mechanism cooking machines, each with different functions, but Ying needs to master the heat one by one to drive them perfectly, so Ying thinks it's just a very troublesome machine.

"Yes, that's it. Control the heat of each one and keep them at a certain level." Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun explained on the side.

"Traveler, left, left, the one on the left is out of fire." Paimeng shouted anxiously.

"Go with the wind!"

In order to save trouble, Ying activated the elemental power, and the wind element swept the fire element under the mechanism cooking machine, forming a fire tornado, and rolled towards the mechanism on the left.

Boom!

The mechanism cooking machine, still under the sweep of Ying's fire tornado, exploded.

Paimeng: "."

Ying: "."

"Ah, this immortal knew it would be like this." Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun sighed and said.

Then she activated the immortal power, and the mechanism cooking machine was intact again, as if the previous explosion had never happened.

Facing the doubtful eyes of Ying and Paimeng, Master Liuyun Jiefeng said unhappily: "Before, it was because of that purple-haired woman that I had to spend a lot of money on the mechanism to ensure that it could remain intact after the explosion."

Ying whispered: "Liuyun, I still think this mechanism cooking magic machine is not good. It is too troublesome. You have to control the heat and pay attention to other things. It is not convenient at all."

"Nonsense, my mechanism cooking magic machine is obviously very practical. You only need to control the heat. It is so reliable in processing ingredients and automatically cooking."

Ying: "."

Your mechanism is really useless. It is the kind that is tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away. Those who can use immortal power can't use your magic machine much. Those who can't use immortal power can't even activate the machine, not to mention that I can make a lot of them in the time you make one dish.

"Do you have a recipe for Wenxin tofu?" Ying asked.

"Yes, but what do you want to make?" Although Master Liuyun Jiefeng was puzzled, he still handed the recipe to Ying.

"Watch me."

Ying said, took out a pot from his backpack, and then performed a traveler-style cooking method in front of Master Liuyun Jiefeng.

Master Liuyun Jiefeng: "."

Master Liuyun Jiefeng said with emotion: "Hey, your method really doesn't require any mechanism. You can make a dish in less than a minute. This immortal has never heard of it. Maybe this is your special feature."

Paimeng asked in confusion: "Master Liuyun, why are you so obsessed with cooking with mechanisms?"

Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun sighed and explained: "I'm not afraid to tell you this. You know the day of the Lantern Festival, right? I also made a mechanism, but that mechanism can only simply process ingredients and stir-fry some ordinary dishes. It can't make dishes that test knife skills, such as Wenxin tofu."

"Moreover, the taste of the mechanism at that time was not very ideal. It can only be said to be edible, and it is still a long way from delicious, so I want to improve it."

Paimeng asked in confusion: "But weren't the dishes made by the mechanism on the day of the Lantern Festival very delicious? Ganyu, Keqing and the others all rushed to eat them, and even the little one of Yaoyao, who cares so much about her, joined the ranks of scrambling."
