Genshin Impact: Zhongli discovered that he was stealing tributes at the beginning

"Okay, the sun is getting ready to go down. Wu Ye, let's go to the kitchen. I have prepared all the ingredients."

"Okay, Xiangling."

So after Master Wu and Master Xiang were busy for an hour, they made a feast for everyone.

"Wow! There are so many dishes, more abundant than what I had at Wangshu Inn last time!"

Paimon's eyes were shining as he looked at the fragrant dishes on the table, his mouth watering.

"I made the tender chicken with spicy pepper, grilled tiger fish, lai lai vegetables, squirrel fish, boiled blackback fish and glutinous rice balls."

Xiang Ling pointed at these dishes and said one by one.

"I don't cook much, just four dishes, namely Tianshu Pork, Dry Pot Bacon, Mingyue Eggs and the Xian Tiao Qiang I learned in the mountains, but this is a low-end version of Xian Tiao Qiang, so I cooked it For an hour."

Wu Ye is confident. Although the dishes are not as many as Xiangling's, he believes that he will definitely win.

"And more! Xin Yan and I cooked the pine wood roasted chicken together!"

I saw Hu Tao and Xin Yan walking in from the door, holding a pine wood in their hands. The roast chicken skewered on pine wood was sizzling and emitting oil, exuding the aroma of pine wood.

"Then let's get started! I guess everyone is hungry. Let's vote after eating."

"Great!"

Everyone chatted and laughed and tasted delicious food together.

"Chongyun? Don't these meals suit your taste?"

Yun Jin noticed that Chongyun, who was sitting on her right, didn't move his chopsticks and just sat quietly.

"No, because of my health, I have to wait until the dishes are cold before I can use my chopsticks."

Yun Jin nodded after hearing this. No wonder Chongyun had waited for a long time before tasting Yun Zheyu.

"Chongyun, let me try this for you. This should be completely cold."

Xingqiu on the side picked up a glutinous rice ball and put it into Chongyun's ball.

"No! I don't want it!"

As soon as Chongyun saw the glutinous rice balls in his bowl, his body moved back, and the ice elemental god's eyes shone brightly.

Everyone looked surprised, only Xiang Ling nodded to express understanding.

"Pure Yang Body" is not only a major obstacle on the path of Chongyun Alchemist, but also a big trouble in daily life.

He is very sensitive to the existence of yang. If he is not careful, the yang energy will run wild, causing a drastic change in his temperament.

Chongyun's family once held a banquet at Wanmintang. Although he had deliberately waited until the vegetables were cold before eating, he did not expect that Wanmintang's glutinous rice balls were actually filled with Jueyun pepper.

After one gulp, if you want to say what happened... Chongyun himself couldn't remember clearly.

But the victim at that time, Xiang Ling, the chef of Wanmin Tang, still remembers many classic clips:

Chongyun jumped on the shopkeeper's table and shouted that he alone would pay for all the guests, even though he actually didn't bring any money;

He chatted with the guests at each table, introduced their family's alchemy skills to each other, and did not forget to take a bite of the food on other people's tables before leaving;

For some reason, he also said that there was an evil spirit in Wanmin Hall and couldn't find it. Instead, he put a spell on Xiangling's forehead and chased her around with his sword.

Later, in order to make up for the loss and express his apology, Chongyun spent a month frugally to settle the account of Wanmintang, and had to give Xiangling a hand-carved evil charm.

"That's about it. Actually, I don't care about Chongyun's 'offense'. In my opinion, Chongyun at that banquet is the Chongyun who is closest to everyone."

After hearing Xiang Ling's words, everyone suddenly realized, but Chongyun wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.

"Chongyun is so interesting! He seems quiet and introverted, but during one performance, he seemed to be called over by Xingqiu to ask me what to say."

"The sound on the stage was so loud that before I could hear him clearly, he had already jumped onto the stage and sang with me, and he sang in a very rock-and-roll style. This is what people call it."

Hearing Xin Yan's finishing blow, everyone said "Oh" and looked at Chongyun who was covering his face with a narrow look on his face.

"Why don't you, Chongyun, eat another glutinous rice ball and let everyone see the other side of you!"

Pamon said expectantly.

"It's okay. I didn't put Jueyun pepper in the glutinous rice balls this time. Chongyun, don't worry and eat it."

Xiangling vowed, but Chongyun was bitten by a snake and was afraid of well ropes for ten years, so he firmly refused.

"Then drink this bowl of Xian Tiao Qiang. It should be cold."

Wu Ye said kindly, Chongyun nodded and took a sip.

"Ape Voice, activate!"

Chongyun shouted, and he jumped down from his seat, looking up to the sky and roaring.

"Wuhu!"

When the ape god heard the call of his kind, he immediately fell to the ground and howled too.

"Wuhu! Oh ho ho ho!"

Chongyun excitedly threw himself at the ape god, his eyes were filled with enthusiasm. The ape god felt something was wrong and quickly cheered up.

"Wu Ye, what did you put in Xian Tiao Qiang?!"

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Wu Ye replied with a guilty conscience: "I put some pepper, but the amount is very small. Under normal circumstances, you can't taste it..."

"Then what is Chongyun doing to the Ape God now?"

Paimon looked shocked and pointed at Chongyun, who was chasing the ape god. He saw Chongyun's eyes were blurred, his whole body was exuding heat, and he kept making "sucking, sucking, sucking" sounds.

"Hmm...I guess it's courtship."

"Call for a mate?!"

"Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak!"

Chongyun tore off his shirt, used all four limbs, and chased the ape god all over the yard like a madman.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

The ape god looked pitifully at everyone while running away.

"Snapped!"

Shen He found the right opportunity and knocked Chongyun unconscious with his knife as he passed by.

"It seems that his cultivation is not up to standard yet. I will give him some guidance when I have time."

Shen He placed the unconscious Chongyun on the soft grass.

"Well... I suggest that everyone don't talk to Chongyun about what just happened, otherwise I'm worried that he won't be able to think about it."

Xingqiu warned seriously, and everyone nodded seriously.

"Let's put some clothes on him first. Do you have any extra clothes on you?"

Keqing reminded carefully.

"I have!"

Wu Ye summoned Tianqing and took out a brand new dress for Chongyun to put on.

This little farce is finally over.

……

The food on the table was cleared away, and Xingqiu deliberately left some dishes without spicy seasonings in Chongyun's bowl.

"Then, the cooking competition has officially begun! Except Wu Ye and I, you can vote one by one. Whoever gets more votes in the end will win. Whoever wins will be today's Chef King!"

Xiang Ling crossed her arms and was very competitive.

"Then let me start first. I vote for Wu Ye, because his Immortal Jump Over the Wall is delicious!"

Paimon took the lead to demonstrate and voted for Wu Ye.

"I vote for Xiangling."

Raise your hands to speak.

“I also choose Xiangling, her fragrant tender pepper chicken, I love it so much!”

Xin Yan said.

At this time, Guo Ba also walked to Xiang Ling's side, which was self-evident.

Xiangling got three votes all at once, and she was worthy of being the head of Wanmin Hall.

"Well, the dishes cooked by Xiang Ling and Wu Ye are both delicious. If I vote for Wu Ye, just consider it my preference, hehe."

Hu Tao smiled and took Wu Ye's arm, and Wu Ye's waist suddenly straightened.

"I vote for Wu Ye. The Tianshu pork and dry-pot bacon he made today are to my liking."

Yun Jin looked at Wu Ye and said with approval.

The ape god said nothing and stood beside Wu Ye.

The two looked at each other and nodded. As brothers, there is no need to say anything in their hearts!

"The glutinous rice balls are more to my liking. I choose Xiangling."

Xingqiu smiled lightly.

"Me too."

Shen He echoed.

"Xiang Ling got five votes! Thirteen people voted, and she was one vote short of winning."

Paimon spoke up at the right moment.

"Then I'll vote for Wu Ye. His Immortal Jump over the Wall has tofu in it. I like tofu the most!"

Yan Fei touched her slightly swollen belly with a satisfied look on her face.

"Wu Ye."

It's a pity that Wu Ye didn't make golden shrimp balls today, Ke Qing thought to herself.

"I vote for Senior Sister!"

"Wow, Yaoyao is so good!"

"...I vote for...Wu Ye."

In fact, Qiqi didn’t eat any of the dishes on the table. She is a zombie and she likes to drink coconut milk.

"Wow! Both sides have six votes. It's so fierce! There's still one vote left. Who hasn't voted yet?"

After hearing Paimon's words, everyone looked at Chongyun sleeping on the grass.

……

Finally, Chongyun woke up.

Xiangling won.
