Mondstadt at night is not like Liyue. Even in summer, the evening wind blowing unobstructed on your body will still make you feel a little cold, perhaps because there is no shelter in the wild.

Unlike the mountains that Liyue looked at, Mondstadt was full of vast grasslands, and even if there were occasional hillsides, they were not that steep.

Riding a carriage all the way to Wangshu Inn, they traveled hundreds of miles and then transferred to a hot air balloon. After a few days, Bai Qiyun passed through the stone gate and entered the territory of Mondstadt.

As a new arrival and unfamiliar with the place, he originally wanted to find an inn to rest for a night, but he regretted it as soon as he left the guard post at Shimen.

There was bare grass in front of him, let alone an inn, there were no ordinary residents there, so there was no place for him to stay for one night.

"Although I'm mentally prepared, it's too..."

Because the journey is close to Longji Snow Mountain, the temperature here is much lower than elsewhere.

The white peaks covered with thousands of years of wind and snow. Just looking at them from a distance, the boundless cold seemed to rush towards him and surround him.

But he didn't have any good ideas. There were no buildings in this desolate wilderness to avoid the cold.

It seemed that Bai Qiyun could only spend tonight in the wild.

Fortunately, he had prepared a tent for outdoor use in advance.

Thanks to "Three Days to Teach You How to Become a Qualified Traveler", this matter was clearly mentioned, but it seems that it was added after the author himself was bitten by a mosquito while sleeping on the grass while traveling in the wild.

, and according to the description in the book, the fate of that piece of grass may be very bad.

Hope the grass is okay.

After choosing a place next to a big rock and pitching the tent, Bai Qiyun set up a fire on the ground and prepared for today's dinner.

He took out a piece of fresh wild boar meat from his backpack and put it on the fire to smoke it. This piece of meat was bought from the guards at Shimen. Their soldiers who were on guard often went hunting outside of their duties, and then put the prey into the fire.

Selling them to passers-by is a way to kill time.

"Since you're here in Mondstadt, let's try Mondstadt's cooking methods."

Bai Qiyun didn't know much about the cuisine of neighboring countries, but in his impression, compared to Liyue, which is extremely particular, Mond's cooking style should be more rough.

So he chose barbecue, the most primitive cooking method of mankind, hoping that he could taste the flavor of Mondstadt cuisine.

Hmm...probably.

The fat and thin pork chops were pierced with sharpened wooden sticks and placed on the fire, sizzling with oil.

After a while, a smell of meat emanated from it, like a hook in the hands of the most skilled craftsman, causing Bai Qiyun's throat to twitch slightly, having not had any water in it for a long time.

After a while, the blood on the pork chops faded away and turned into a burnt brown skin.

The hungry boy's sharp eyes knew that this was a sign that it was cooked, so he quickly grabbed a handful of seasoning and sprinkled it.

"Hiss, hot, hot, hot..."

Picking up the pork chop, Bai Qiyun's lips were burned by the astonishing heat as soon as they touched the crispy skin.

The steaming pork chop forced him to blow air on it with his mouth, hoping that it would quickly cool down to a temperature that he could eat.

After blowing for a long time, the young man carefully approached the steak again, confirmed with his face that the temperature had indeed dropped, and then took a bite.

The roasted crispy outside and juicy inside exploded in his mouth. The special aroma of cumin and chili was also mixed with the meat, adding a lot of color to the pork chop.

only....

After chewing a few mouthfuls, a strong earthy smell floated out of his mouth, making Bai Qiyun frown unconsciously.

Does Mondstadt pork have such a fishy smell?

However, a large piece of the pork chop had been chewed off in his mouth, and it was not worth putting it on the grill again. Bai Qiyun could only sprinkle some more chili peppers on top to cover up the smell, and barely ate the rest of the pork chop.

"Huh~"

Although I was a little hungry before, the experience of this temporary barbecue meal was far from ideal.

The fishy smell of the pork itself completely destroyed the balance of this dish, causing him to still have a fishy smell in his mouth.

After taking a deep breath, Bai Qiyun took out another similar piece of pork chop.

This time, he planned to use Liyue's technique to deal with this thing first, otherwise the earthy smell would be too strong to enter his mouth.

There was no shortage of salt, cooking wine, onions, ginger, anything that could remove the fishy smell. After baking, he sprinkled chili pepper and cumin on top to enhance the flavor. With such heavy ingredients, there must be something wrong with it.

"Ugh~"

But it was no different from last time. The same earthy smell was so strong that he couldn't even swallow it.

Last time I was able to forcefully swallow it because I was hungry, but this time there was really no way I could eat it again.

Bai Qiyun spit out the pork chops in his mouth into the grass, then rinsed his mouth with water several times, and then managed to get rid of the odor.

He collapsed on the ground and looked up at the stars. The bright moonlight fell on him, like covering him with a thick quilt.

——The pork may be so fishy because of the guards' handling methods.

After struggling for a long time, Bai Qiyun almost guessed the truth. He probably cut the associated blood vessels when cutting the pork, which made it fishy as hell.

It's just...if it were left to Xiang Ling, wouldn't it be handled well?

An idea that came from nowhere suddenly appeared in his mind.

Bai Qiyun closed his eyes, unwilling to think deeply.

Because he knew that when he had this idea, he was actually thinking that Xiang Ling might be able to do this.

As for the truth, it means nothing.

I have to admit that sometimes the word "talent" is really a high wall that ordinary people cannot overcome in their lifetime.

Mr. Zhongli's words of 'persistence' to him before were probably because he saw through this point.

A wry smile crept up his cheek, and in the breeze blowing across the earth, no one knew the young man's sorrow.

There are always iron laws in this world that cannot be broken like 'one plus one equals two', and people are divided on both sides by a high wall called 'talent'.

You can't advance, you can't retreat.

"Um?"

For some reason, the wind began to become more violent and the air began to become humid.

"Is it going to rain?"

Thunder flashed in the distant sky, and a heavy rain was approaching.

The thunder and lightning that makes people feel heart-stopping when they look at it from a distance is truly terrifying.

However, there was no one inhabited within a few hundred meters. Bai Qiyun didn't know where to take shelter from the rain, so he could only shrink into the tent and wait for the arrival of the next day.

Fortunately, this tent has waterproof measures, otherwise Bai Qiyun would feel terrible if he was drowned alone in the wild without a place to take shelter from the rain. Thinking about it, Bai Qiyun felt terrible.

"Forget it, go to sleep."

Listening to the increasingly louder rain outside the tent, Bai Qiyun's mood slowly returned to the previous state of not thinking about anything. If you like Genshin Impact, the spear is still in your collection: (https://www.bajiewx.com) Genshin Impact, the spear is still the same
