Chapter 98: Culinary Showdown (2)
"Hey~"
"What's wrong?"
The sudden sound from the girl next to him startled Bai Qiyun.
He had never heard this guy speak with such a voice.
It's like sprinkling sugar on honey, just listening to it makes people panic.
This deliberately pinched voice made Bai Qiyun always feel like she was acting strangely.
"No, it's nothing."
Ying naturally turned her head and responded perfunctorily.
However, Bai Qiyun, who was focused on the competition, did not put too much energy into her. The most important thing now was to properly handle the ingredients to be used.
When he passed by the spring before, he had already thought about what he was going to cook for the competition.
People in Qingquan Town are close to springs, so aquatic products such as fish, shrimps and crabs often appear on their dining tables.
At the same time, they also consciously raise wild boars, indicating that these terrestrial meats are also part of their diet.
Taking these two points into consideration, the people in Qingquan Town should be similar to the people in Liyue Port. Seafood and mountain delicacies are welcome to everyone.
However, considering the differences between Mondstadt and Liyue, Bai Qiyun did not intend to make a complete Liyue cuisine. He had to make local improvements to the cuisine.
Thinking of this, Bai Qiyun calmed down and carefully planned the cooking steps.
"Ying, can you help me go see what's going on in front of Hopkins' house?"
There is a ready-made coolie around, so if you don't use it, it will be in vain.
Hearing this, the blond girl tilted her chin and gave him a nice look.
But she didn't mean to refuse. She patted her clothes and walked outside the house.
The girl's departure did not affect Bai Qiyun's movements. On the contrary, because there were no others watching, he was able to let go of his hands and feet.
The kitchen here is connected to the warehouse, so he and Bullock also agreed that all the ingredients in her warehouse will be used freely, and it will be regarded as Qingquan Town sponsoring this competition.
Bai Qiyun picked up the round potatoes on the side and began to peel them.
Although what he wants to do is not very complicated, considering the number of residents in Qingquan Town, even if it is not a craft job, it must be a manual job.
The steel knife reflecting the silver light was flying in his hand, and one potato girl after another was stripped off her clothes and lay on the cutting board waiting for her luck.
Even the most skilled swordsman would be stunned when he saw the peeling speed.
After a while, each potato was cut into small pieces and placed in a basin aside for later use.
"Let me think about it, if there are so many people..."
Bai Qiyun took the rice bag and filled it with almost five large basins of rice.
When he came here before, he looked at the number of houses and estimated that there were only forty or fifty residents in Qingquan Town.
Including some people who don't live here often, such as Quinn and Diona, there are only about forty people who can come for dinner.
Looking at the exaggeratedly large basin in his hand, Bai Qiyun felt that the rice should be almost enough.
Taking the basin and walking aside, Bai Qiyun soaked the rice in the clear running water and began to wash it.
Pot after pot of milky white rice water flows along the ditch in front of the door to the field not far away. There are also some carrots, white radish and other things planted in it, which look very juicy.
Bai Qiyun thought for a moment, then walked to the edge of the field and pulled out a few almost-grown radishes.
I can't help it, it's just too tempting.
Just like he did with potatoes before, he cut these naked little guys into cubes and set them aside for later use.
"Well, that's pretty much the vegetables, the rest are the ingredients."
Looking past the piles of vegetables on the ground, Bai Qiyun walked straight to the peppers placed in the corner, and he put them one by one into the basket on the side.

"Mr. Durav."
When he arrived at the door of Hopkins' house, he found Durav on the steps, yelling at others to stay away.
It's been a long time, why are there still so many people here?
After passing through the somewhat crowded crowd, Ying walked up to Durav and shouted again.
"Mr. Durav!"
The girl's voice suppressed the noisy crowd, and Duraf couldn't help but turn his head.
"Ah, he is an honorary knight, what's wrong?"
He was still worried about the person who suddenly broke in and called himself Olaf. That was the name on his family tree. It had been countless years, but someone was still pretending to be him.
It's just that the animal ears on the opponent's head and the tail on the back are symbols of the Ketzlein family's bloodline. This cannot be faked, so he can only take the opponent aside first and wait for the end of what Bullock explained.
and then process it.
Alas, the Hopkins matter has not been solved yet, Bullock has started a competition with outsiders again, there is a fake ancestor here, the issue of the spring water in the village has not been resolved, and all these things are happening.
When they came together, his head almost exploded.
"Nothing, how is Mr. Hopkins doing?"
Although she had almost seen the situation at the scene, to be on the safe side, she still asked Durav.
"Hopkins? Don't mention it. He has been sleeping since morning and shows no sign of waking up. Even the pastor of the West Wind Church came to see him and didn't know what happened."
When it came to what happened this morning, Durav also looked helpless.
"There are so many people waiting here, and it turns out that they have been waiting all day and there is still no movement. Who knows when he will wake up."
After complaining for a few words, Durav stopped talking. He also knew that it would be better to vent his grievances less in front of outsiders. After all, no one is someone else's trash can.
"By the way, I heard that Brock and the young man you are working with as an Honor Knight are going to have a cooking showdown?"
Just now, Bullock came to him and told him that tonight's dinner would be provided for free by the match between the two of them, and he was asking him to pull him over.
"Uh... um."
"That's great. We'll all go over to cheer you up soon. Remember to get them two ready."
The thought of having delicious food to enjoy made Durav feel happy.
Even the heavy feeling that all kinds of affairs weighed on him before was much lighter.
Maybe this is how people in Qingquan Town regulate themselves.
Good food and wine are really rare.
"Okay, I'll go back and tell them right now, then you can do your work first."
After smiling at Duraf, Ying quickly slipped back to her temporary residence before the sun set.
But before she even got close to the house, she saw Bai Qiyun tinkering with something in front of the door from a distance.
The open space outside the door was filled with pots and pans, and a fire was lit on the large earthen stove next to it.
The ignited firewood emitted sparks and rose into the sky along with the steaming heat.
This look reminded Ying of an engine that was spitting out sparks. That thing was very noisy. If you like Genshin Impact, the spear is still in your collection, please collect it: (https://www.bajiewx.com) Genshin Impact, the spear is still in your collection
