I'm a male god in Liyue

"Xiangling".

"Ok?"

"You said before that you made a lot of friends during your trip to Mondstadt."

"Yes! Lots! Especially Amber, she helped me a lot!"

“Amber…”

"She's a scout knight of the Knights of Favonius, and like me, a wielder of a fire-type Eye of God. I first met her in the woods outside Mondstadt. I was roasting mushrooms, and she, having brought no food, followed the aroma and came to me. That's how we met..."

As Xia Zhi listened to Xiang Ling's story, he silently formed a preliminary impression of the girl named An Bo in his mind: an energetic, food-loving beauty.

“Amber’s grandfather used to be a mercenary leader, also from Liyue Harbor, but he left without saying goodbye four years ago for some unknown reason, leaving behind only his knight’s crest and sword. Amber said she might come to Liyue to visit him sometime, and I told her to come visit me then…”

For a protagonist in the "God Chef" genre, this is truly the perfect match.

Xiangling, you still say you're not the main character!

Xia Zhi nodded and asked, "You also went to Qingquan Town, right?"

"They've gone! How did Mr. Xia know?"

"Diona's father told us."

"Hey?"

"Her father is the hunters' leader of Clearspring, Dulaf."

"Oh! It's him! I remember him!"

"Right? I heard you found a wild boar that had been extinct for over 300 years there, and even had a cooking competition with someone. Impressive."

"Hehe, I also brought back a lot of wild boar meat."

As Xiangling spoke, she took out a pile of frozen meat from the Dust Song Pot.

Xia Zhi took it and found that the meat quality was indeed much better than that of ordinary pork sold in the market.

"Unfortunately, it's not fresh."

"It's alright, I have this knife."

Xia Zhi picked up the [Eternal Spirit Knife] and gently sliced ​​it across the meat. The originally frozen meat bloomed and immediately became as fresh as if it had just been slaughtered.

Xiangling was stunned for a moment, then her eyes immediately turned fiery as she looked at the kitchen knife in his hand.

"This knife can restore the freshness of ingredients."

"so amazing!"

"You want it?"

"I want it so bad!"

"Unfortunately, this is the only kitchen knife I have."

"Woo..."

"But if you want to use it, you can borrow it."

"it is good!"

Xia Zhi didn't show off her skills when cutting vegetables; she just cut them very normally.

So Xiangling, watching from the side, wasn't too shocked; she just thought his hands were very steady.

"Xiangling, what dishes do you want to make tonight?"

"My innovative dish! You've absolutely never tasted anything like it before!"

Zhu Zi, who was standing next to Xiang Ling, recalled the strange and innovative dishes that Xiang Ling had tried before she went on her travels, and her expression changed slightly.

Xiangling immediately replied, "Don't worry! I've already improved it many times on the way here! All my friends who have tried it say it's great!"

Zhu Zi gave a relaxed smile: "That's good."

After Xia Zhi finished chopping the vegetables, he handed the knife to Xiang Ling: "I've almost finished preparing all the ingredients, so I'll leave the cutting board to you."

Xiangling eagerly took the [Eternal Spirit Blade], gently stroking it, her eyes shining: "Mmm!"

Like a crazy woman.

Xia Zhi shook his head, turned around and started cooking.

A snort.

The aroma of the wok was strong and pungent.

Xiangling was happily playing with her new kitchen utensils at the cutting board when she suddenly smelled a delicious aroma.

She was stunned for a moment and froze on the spot.

"This fragrance..."

Xiangling sniffed, her expression turning somewhat incredulous.

"how……"

She turned her head and looked at the calm figure standing in front of the stove, and couldn't help but swallow.

Then, she saw a small, familiar shadow dart in from outside the kitchen at the speed of light.

It's rice crust.

The little creature ran to Xia Zhi's feet.

Seeing this, Xiangling put down the [Eternal Spirit Blade] that she had been so fond of just moments before without any hesitation, and quickly went to the pot to look at the food inside.

Inside is just ordinary fried tofu.

Guoba raised its head and stretched out its claws to tug at Xia Zhi's trouser leg.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Its voice sounded pitiful, like a kitten or puppy that hadn't eaten for days whimpering.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but laugh.

"Guoba, what's wrong?"

"Woo!"

"Want to eat?"

"Woo!"

"It's not ready yet, you can't eat it. Be good, go play outside first, and eat when it's ready."

"Woo..."

"Okay, you can have one piece, but only one."

"Woo!"

Xia Zhi used chopsticks to pick up a piece of freshly fried tofu from the pot and fed it to the little creature at her feet.

The rice crust was very considerate and didn't touch the chopsticks when it was being bitten.

"Whoosh!!!"

"Is it burned?"

"Woo!!!"

Xiangling looked down, reached out and picked up the rice crust, and said irritably, "No messing around! No stealing food! Go outside and stay put!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!"

Xiangling walked to the kitchen door, threw the rice crust out, and then came back: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xia..."

"Haha, it's okay, just consider it as inviting Guoba to try out the dishes."

Xia Zhi continued frying the tofu.

Xiangling looked at the golden and tempting tofu in the pot and couldn't help but swallow again.

"Mr. Xia, this..."

"what happened?"

Why does it smell so good?

"Pan-fried tofu is naturally very fragrant."

"No! I can't quite describe it, it just smells very..."

Xiangling seemed a little confused.

"...Well, I remember eating your pan-fried tofu before, but it wasn't as fragrant as this one. Is there some special recipe for the tofu?"

"No, it's the same as before."

"That's because they used special seasoning!"

"No, I only added a little salt."

"Huh? How did you do that?"
