Chapter 283

"Since that's the case, let's meet formally tomorrow."

Hearing Yelan's words, Ningguang nodded gently and said: "It's just right to invite the other party to a meal, and while eating, have a simple exchange to see what he thinks of Liyue, or what plans he has next."

When she learned from Yelan about Lin Mo's healing ability, his impressive sword arts, and his suspected Cryo elemental power, Ningguang knew.

Treating this person cannot be done in an ordinary way.

For talents, Liyue is very welcome and willing to absorb them.

Being able to treat Sumeru's Eleazar is itself an incredible miracle.

After a simple exchange with Yelan, the two women left and returned to the Jade Chamber.

At this very moment.

On the other side.

Outside Liyue city, at the city gate near Mount Tianheng, Lin Mo and Collei were walking toward Liyue city.

After enjoying the scenery of Liyue on Mount Tianheng, Collei stayed for a good while before deciding to leave here first and then have a late-night snack.

When Lin Mo brought Collei to Wanmin Restaurant, Chef Mao saw Lin Mo and waved with a smile: "Lin Mo, long time no see. You actually didn't come these past few days, it's so unexpected."

During these past few days, Lin Mo didn't come to eat as usual, and Chef Mao, who was used to it, suddenly felt unaccustomed.

Unexpectedly, he could see Lin Mo arrive today.

"I went to The Chasm for a trip during this time to solve some things."

Hearing Chef Mao's words, Lin Mo said with a smile: "I only came back today after solving it."

"So that's how it is."

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Chef Mao suddenly realized.

No wonder he didn't see Lin Mo these days, it turned out Lin Mo went to The Chasm.

"The Chasm."

Thinking of The Chasm, Chef Mao sighed: "Speaking of which, it's not like there haven't been miners returning from The Chasm these two days. It seems that something happened in The Chasm, but the specifics are unclear."

"By the way, is the one next to you from Sumeru?"

While speaking, Chef Mao looked at Collei with curiosity, his expression surprised.

Through Collei's clothing, Chef Mao could basically judge that the other party was from Sumeru.

And she was also a young girl with a Dendro Vision.

"I, I am Collei."

Hearing Chef Mao's words, Collei spoke softly: "From Avidya Forest in Sumeru."

"Yes."

Next to her, Lin Mo also nodded and said: "Collei will live in Liyue for a period of time next, and will definitely visit your Wanmin Restaurant often, Chef Mao."

"Haha, that's great."

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Chef Mao laughed heartily: "Come, come, sit down first, see what you like to eat, I can recommend some signature dishes to you."

Saying this, Chef Mao enthusiastically invited Collei and Lin Mo to sit down.

After sitting down, he picked up the menu and introduced the signature dishes of Wanmin Restaurant to Collei.

"Hmm, do you have 'Fried Radish Balls'?"

Collei thought for a while and asked.

Chef Mao was stunned for a moment, then responded with a smile: "Of course there are Fried Radish Balls, they are one of our vegetarian choices here. Do you like this one?"

The next second, Chef Mao mentioned another dish: "If you prefer ball-like food, then you might as well try our 'Jin Huang Shrimp Balls'."

"This dish uses top-quality fresh shrimp, manually shelled, and ingeniously wrapped in a thin layer of golden silk batter, fried until golden and crispy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The freshness of the shrimp meat and the crispness of the batter are perfectly combined. Every bite is an infinite taste."

Collei's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Then give me a portion of Jin Huang Shrimp Balls."

Lin Mo joined the conversation with a smile on the side: "Collei, do you have any other favorite flavors? Just talk about your preferences, and we'll order a few more."

Chef Mao's eyes flashed with anticipation, obviously he couldn't wait to show off his signature dishes, letting Collei and Lin Mo taste the deliciousness of Wanmin Restaurant.

"Food I like?"

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Collei scratched her head and said: "'Pocket Bread' is easy to carry and easy to fill, it should be the thing I eat most often. If I don't consider the needs of my stomach, the food I like most, hmm, should be 'Fried Radish Balls'."

"As for the food I hate, when I was wandering and hungry, I even had to break up Hookfruit to eat, so I don't have any food I particularly hate. If I have to say it, the only things I won't touch are all kinds of mushrooms? It has nothing to do with taste, it's just that I don't want to be the one criticized by my master in a long speech."

"Don't like eating mushrooms."

Hearing Collei's words, Chef Mao understood.

"Give me a portion of Boiled Fish."

Lin Mo spoke, and Chef Mao nodded: "Okay."

Immediately, he went down to prepare for Lin Mo and Collei.

"Wanmin Restaurant's Boiled Fish is also one of the signature dishes, the fish slices are firm and full, fresh and tasty."

Lin Mo said to Collei with a smile: "Because this dish adds powdered Glaze Lily to the hot oil, and Glaze Lily is one of Liyue's specialty materials, it can make the dish fragrant and spicy without being dry."

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Collei's eyes brightened, and she became more and more expectant.

"By the way, did anything happen when you just went outside Liyue city?"

At this time, someone sitting next to them suddenly spoke, asking their friend who had returned with curiosity.

"Hey, you might not believe it, but a very exaggerated battle happened near the Jin Huang House, and even Lady Ningguang and Lady Keqing were alarmed."

"Yeah, I went to see it myself. Lady Keqing and Lady Ganyu both went. At first, some people guessed that Lady Keqing and Lady Ganyu were fighting."

"That is a forbidden zone for fighting, and I don't know who was fighting there, making the ground collapse. It's really outrageous."

"The scene is still filled with a lot of elemental power, it's terrifying. If ordinary people approach, their bodies will be affected, so that side has been blocked by the Millelith."

"Sigh, this is the power that only those with a Vision can exert. If only I had a Vision."

In Wanmin Restaurant, one person after another discussed.

Many people had been to the scene and returned.

So they were very amazed when talking about this.

The amazement and discussion of these people also reached the ears of Lin Mo and Collei, making Lin Mo smile.

Because Influence was constantly growing.

And Collei also looked at Lin Mo with surprise.

These people probably didn't know that one of the parties involved was by their side.

"Here, Boiled Fish and Jin Huang Shrimp Balls."

Time passed quietly.

While Collei was waiting, Chef Mao brought two plates of delicious food and walked over.

As Chef Mao's voice rang out, bursts of fragrance drifted over, making people drool.

They saw Chef Mao holding a plate of golden Jin Huang Shrimp Balls in one hand, and a plate of red Boiled Fish in the other.

The Jin Huang Shrimp Balls were golden in color, and the outer batter was fried just right, shining with an attractive luster. The exquisite shrimp balls were placed in an exquisite porcelain plate, like works of art carved with precision. If you take a bite, the crispy outer layer shatters instantly, revealing the fresh and juicy shrimp meat inside.

The combination of fresh shrimp and golden silk batter not only shows the freshness of the shrimp meat but also brings the crispness of the batter, with distinct layers of taste, making people have endless aftertastes.

And the Boiled Fish is another scene, a pot of steaming fish meat is decorated with a large amount of coriander and Pixian bean paste in hot oil, red oil floats, chili peppers are dotted, the fish meat is as white as snow, forming a sharp contrast with the bright red soup.

The fish meat is carefully cooked, the texture is tender, and it melts in the mouth, while the spicy taste of the soup perfectly sets off the freshness of the fish meat, spicy without being dry, numbing without being bitter, making people want to eat one chopstick after another, unable to stop.

At this time, Chef Mao, who served the food, introduced confidently: "This Boiled Fish uses fresh live fish, adding Wanmin Restaurant's special chili and spices, as well as powder ground from Glaze Lily, the fish meat is tender and smooth, and the soup is rich. Especially this red oil, it is homemade by our kitchen, slowly boiled with good Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers, ensuring the purity of the fragrance and taste."

While Chef Mao was speaking, Collei had already been attracted by the fragrance and appearance of these two dishes, and her appetite was wide open.

The crispness of the Jin Huang Shrimp Balls and the numbness and spiciness of the Boiled Fish intertwined into a feast for the taste buds, not only satisfying Collei's desire for food but also giving Collei a deeper understanding and appreciation of Liyue's food culture.

Immediately, Collei picked up her chopsticks with anticipation.

First, she gently picked up a Jin Huang Shrimp Ball, she took a bite cautiously, and the fragile golden silk on the outer layer shattered in her mouth instantly, releasing the freshness of the shrimp meat inside. The fresh and tender shrimp meat and the thin and crispy golden silk batter perfectly merged in her mouth, crispness and freshness intertwined, triggering a joy of the taste buds.

Subsequently, Collei also tried the red and fragrant Boiled Fish.

Pieces of white and tender fish meat were like jade in the soup, immersed in the influence of chili and Sichuan peppercorns.

When the smooth and tender fish meat entered her mouth, she immediately felt the warmth from the inside out, the numbness and spiciness of the soup brought a heat wave, perfectly combined with the freshness of the fish meat, making people praise involuntarily.

Collei praised sincerely while eating: "It's really delicious, these Jin Huang Shrimp Balls are crispy and tasty, and the Boiled Fish is numb, spicy, and tender. Every bite is an enjoyment. The people of Liyue are really happy to be able to enjoy such delicious food every day."

Her face was filled with a happy smile, which was the most sincere praise for food.

And the enjoyment at this moment also made Collei deeply realize the richness of this land of Liyue and the ingenuity of the chefs.
