Chapter 267 Processing Seafood
What you drink must be nectar, and what you eat must be good crops.
This is the code of conduct of the Qilin clan, and Ganyu, who has Qilin blood, naturally abides by it as well.
It's just that she is the offspring of a Qilin and a human, and not like a pure-blooded Qilin who cannot eat meat at all. However, she was raised by immortals since she was a child, and immortals know her mother Qilin better than humans. Therefore, the food Ganyu has eaten is generally vegetarian, and when she grew up and became sensible, she continued to adhere to this rule.
Ganyu just rejected Liu Bai, but she was still a little worried about Yaoyao.
However, when she looked up at Yujingtai, she found that Grandma Ping was looking at her with a smile.
"If Ping is watching, there shouldn't be any danger..."
Gan Yu then breathed a sigh of relief, then said goodbye to Yaoyao, hugged her Qingxin and ran away to Yujingtai to find Grandma Ping.
"Wait... Ping, are you saying that Mr. Di... Mr. Zhongli is also going to participate?"
Ganyu ran to Grandma Ping and said in shock when she learned about this.
Doesn’t the Emperor... not eat seafood?
"Of course it's true. I can see it clearly here. Look, he, his friends and Liu Yun are drinking tea there."
Grandma Ping answered with a smile and raised her hand to point to a teahouse in Feiyunpo.
"Well……"
Suddenly I want to go!
Ganyu felt a little conflicted.
Ever since the last time the Dragon King Ruta caused chaos in the Abyss, Ganyu, as the immortal who maintains order, already knew in advance that Zhongli was the Emperor.
But according to the Emperor's orders, she didn't dare to disturb him, so even though she knew he was in Liyue Harbor, she rarely had the chance to talk to him.
……
Just when Ganyu was struggling, Liu Bai and Yaoyao also arrived at Feiyunpo.
"Sister Ganyu only eats vegetarian food, so it's really not appropriate to invite her to a seafood party. Anyway, let's go back and find Senior Sister Xiangling first."
Yaoyao explained to Liu Bai as she walked.
Liu Bai nodded as if he understood, and then he and Yaoyao walked to the next door to the Hall of Rebirth.
Although Liu Bai just spent a lot of time, he flew here from Wangshu Inn, so Zhongli, Tartaglia and the three immortals have not come here yet. Of course, they may have gone to do other things first.
However, Nashida and Xiangling had already returned from buying ingredients. As soon as Liu Bai and Yaoyao entered the door, they could see a large pot of lively lobsters.
Although not as big as the king crab next to it, it is still considered quite large among the lobsters caught in Yunlaihai.
In addition to lobsters, there are also some octopus, shellfish and other seafood, all of which they purchased at the port. They are all alive and well and need to be handled very carefully.
"Wow, what a big crab! Yaoyao had never seen one on Aunt Beidou's boat. Is this what Big Brother was talking about on the way?"
Yaoyao curiously approached the huge fish tank containing king crabs, looking inside with her face almost sticking to the transparent glass.
"Yes, these crabs are delicious. They are crunchy."
At this moment, Ruoli appeared from nowhere, came up to Yaoyao and spoke affirmatively.
"It's Sister Ruoli, have you tried these crabs?"
Yaoyao knew Ruoli, and after greeting her, she asked curiously.
"I tried it earlier, but just when I wanted to try it, a nasty woman named Xiangling hit me on the head with a spatula. It didn't hurt, but it was very depressing."
Ruoli nodded, then pressed her entire face against the fish tank, staring at the king crabs inside with drooling.
The king crab that was being stared at seemed to have encountered its natural enemy, and it struggled and shrank into the corner of the fish tank.
For a moment, this huge fish tank, which was several meters long and wide, seemed a little small.
"Yeah, although Senior Sister Xiangling sometimes likes to eat raw seafood, these are the ingredients entrusted to her by others. No one can touch them before they are cooked. Sister Ruoli, don't be angry. Yaoyao will help you knead them~"
Yaoyao comforted Ruoli and reached out to rub her head.
Ruoli didn't care and just continued to stare at the king crab inside.
……
"Are you going to invite Qiqi to come as well? Yes, Nashida and Yaoyao are here. They are Qiqi's friends. They had a lot of fun during the Lantern Festival."
Xiangling learned about Qiqi's situation from Liu Bai and Yaoyao, and immediately nodded.
"Well, Guoba, go wash the lobster and octopus first. Nashida and I will be back soon."
Then Xiangling gave an order to Guoba.
After being able to transform into a human form, Guoba can also cook for herself, and her cooking skills are also very good, but she prefers to help Xiangling and let Xiangling be the chef.
"Okay Xiangling, leave it to me."
Guoba patted his chest and took it.
"Well, you go and help too. Cut off all the king crab legs. Divide each leg into three sections. Do you understand?"
Nashida also gave instructions to Liu Bai.
She had just discussed with Xiangling how to deal with the king crab.
King crabs are too big, so it is impossible to steam them whole like ordinary crabs. In addition, according to Nashida's analysis, the meat of king crabs is mainly concentrated in the legs, so this plan was made.
"Okay, leave it to me."
Liu Bai nodded and took out the Winter Ice Guard.
Afterwards, Nashida went out with Xiangling and Yaoyao to pick up Qiqi. Xiangling also brought Ruoli along to prevent her from cheating.
"What a joke! Would I, the great Dragon King, steal food? Unless Lao Deng dies in a few days, I won't steal food!"
Although Ruoli did not resist when she was being dragged away, she still argued back stubbornly.
After they left, Liu Bai and Guoba also started to get busy.
Looking at the eight king crabs in the fish tank, Liu Bai took a deep breath.
[Extreme Divine Swordsmanship (Instant Slash): One of the supporting skills of “Selfless Sword Qi”.]
As the skill was activated, Liu Bai penetrated through the fish tank in an instant and came behind the fish tank.
Then, he slowly put the Winter Ice Guard into the scabbard in his right hand.
The next moment, the entire fish tank broke into countless pieces, and the water in the tank spilled onto the ground, wetting Liu Bai's lower body. The king crabs in the tank were also cut into three sections at the joints according to Nashida's instructions.
At the same time as the fish tank cracked, the palm of Liu Bai's right hand also cracked. Because he didn't have a scabbard, he cut his palm when he put away the sword.
Fortunately, this scratch healed quickly and was not a big deal.
"Oh……"
Seeing Liu Bai slashing out countless swords in an instant to deal with the fish tank and the king crab, Guoba next to him showed a shocked expression.
Although she was some distance away, the hem of her dress was still wet by the water from the fish tank.
Then she looked at the brush in her hand and then at the lobster in the basin.
Then she imitated Liu Bai's movements and brushed the lobster with the brush in her hand.
After licking the wound on his palm, Liu Bai looked at the water and king crab legs on the ground, scratched his head awkwardly, and obediently took a basin from the side, put the cut crab legs in it and washed them again.
Then he ran for the mop and tried to clean the floor before Narcida returned.
He thought he could use his sword skills to skip class, but when he was almost done cleaning up, Nashida, Yaoyao and the others had already brought Qiqi back.
