Chapter 632: The Second Round Begins
Chapter 632 The Second Round Begins
The remedy for emptiness is to have hot pot.
The red pot base was prepared by the Traveler Team with the help of Xiangling when they were in Liyue. A large pot of it was fried in advance and then solidified and sealed with oil.
Su Qingqing recommended: "Sometimes when you can't find a restaurant in the wild and don't want to cook, just cook a small piece in the pot, and then put meat and vegetables in it, it will be an easy and delicious meal!"
Sora added, "The white pot base was sent by Tinari. It's made from dried mushrooms and other spices. I heard it's very popular in Huachengguo. It's not spicy, so Kavi can eat it without worry."
Paimeng rubbed his hands together and said with a smile: "The other ingredients are ready, let's start again~"
Elhaisen reached out and moved the plate of pancakes in front of him, deciding that this would be his dinner for the night.
A large plate was placed next to him, and Elhaisen looked up and saw the girl's awkward face.
Sue: "You don't like juicy food, so just make do with these."
The plate Sue brought contained eggs, bacon, and slices of fresh mushrooms that she had just fried in the kitchen to go with the tasteless scones.
Sora nodded to El Haisen, signaling him to eat without worry, "I made the seasoning."
Elhaisen ate the side dishes and the cake together slowly, "Thank you for the treat."
Sue breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
The tasteless cake was successfully repaired!
Paimeng picked up a piece of "side dish" with chopsticks and put it in the rice bowl, then scooped a large spoonful of mushroom soup to make a rice soup with just the right taste.
Jueyun pepper sauce stir-fry successfully remedies the situation!
Su had quietly put away the other dishes that were cooked and tasted ridiculous, and would make them into fish food later.
The table was once again filled with deliciousness and liveliness, and Su finally had the mood to complain.
"The recipe says the right amount of salt and a little sugar. How much is the right amount and a little? Quantify it for me!"
"There are also one spoon and half spoon. Who knows what size spoon you use at home? Can't we standardize the weights and measures?"
"I've seen people sprinkle seasonings on dishes casually, but why is it different for me?"
Paimon: "Cooking is something that really requires talent! Sora may look casual, but he actually calculated the exact proportions in his mind."
"My cooking is not that exaggerated," Kong felt that what was more important was, "The most taboo thing in cooking is actually having an idea on impulse."
For example, Su's secret method of making pepper juice and cooking.
Jueyun pepper is not an ordinary pepper, and it does not only grow near Jueyun Peak.
It is because a single high-quality Jueyun pepper is so spicy that it can make people rush to the top of Jueyun Mountain to crave for cool air, hence the name Jueyun pepper.
Jueyun pepper concentrated juice can be used as poison when applied to weapons!
Su clenched his fist with confidence, "I didn't perform well this time, but I will definitely do it next time!"
Paimon quickly picked up some food for Su and urged her to eat quickly, interrupting her ambitions, "Cooking is hard work, Su, you should catch up!"
"Indeed," Su grabbed the chopsticks, "I didn't even want to eat just now because I smelled the cooking fumes for so long. I'm hungry now. It must be harder for Kong to cook often. Why don't we go out to eat later?"
"It's not hard," Sora said with a smile, "Cooking is fun when someone helps with the ingredients and washing the dishes."
When traveling alone, he would only cook some simple food to fill his stomach. With Su and Paimon by his side, cooking and eating became a happy thing.
After finishing the hotpot, everyone had a yogurt and fruit salad together, and by the way, told Elhaisen and Kavi that there might be something wrong with the Crown of Knowledge.
"So everyone, try not to touch that thing," Paimon warned, "We will also notify Xiaoti and the others."
Su added a solution, "If anything goes wrong, just smash it!"
Sachiin...
Elhaisen decided to look up some information about him when he went to work tomorrow.
The crown of talent...
Kavi lowered his head somewhat disappointedly. He had originally thought that he would have a chance to wear this crown and make up for his father's regret a little.
His hand felt warm and Kavi realized that it was Su who took the initiative to grab his hand.
Su held the young man's hand and swung it back and forth, "Don't be unhappy, today is only the first game, Kawi will definitely be able to overtake."
Kavi put aside the melancholy that came with recalling the past and cooperated with the girl in performing the "ritual to dispel bad vibes".
"That's right! I will definitely be able to overtake you! I will win the grand prize and buy a big house and move out with you guys!"
The more Kavi spoke, the more ambitious he became. He felt so happy that he wanted to dance when he imagined the happy life that was about to come.
Kavi took the girl's hand and raised his arm. Su tilted his head and a question mark appeared in his mind.
Paimeng understood it immediately, "One person has to raise his arms high and the other one has to spin in circles." Su had never danced a duet, had never seen it, and had never learned it.
Su suddenly realized what was going on and spun like a top. His flying long hair hit Kavi so hard that he had to cover his face.
Sora and Paimon both looked disconsolate and let out a “hiss” sound.
Su clearly wanted to comfort and encourage Kavi, but why did Kavi seem to be being abused all the time?
Sure enough, Su's gentleness is hard for ordinary people to bear.
——*——*——
The second game was held in Aru Village on the edge of the desert. The goal was to find and shut down three earth vein jammers buried by the organizer in the area near Aru Village.
El Haisen: "The first three people to finish the race will receive 4 points, 3 points, and 2 points in the order in which they shut down their machines."
"It should be emphasized that each person can only carry a certain amount of water and food, and leaving the competition area will be regarded as giving up this round."
Nilu: "This round of competition is ostensibly about how fast you can shut down the machine, but it's actually also about testing your ability to survive in harsh conditions. Please pay attention to safety, contestants."
The six contestants handed over the supplies they had brought with them as required before the race, and came forward to receive the food and water bags provided by the organizers of the race.
Su took a photo of the palm-sized water bag and thought it was just like a child's bag. "The water bag is so small. I can drink it all in two gulps."
Paimon made a canopy with his hands, "It's so hot today. I hope everyone can finish the game and rest early, so we can also finish get off work early."
All the contestants have set off, and the traveler team is still making sun protection preparations.
Paimon urged Su to put on the anti-sand cloak, "Sora and I are fine, but Su can't stand the sun."
Su put on his cloak and walked a few steps before running back to the shade, throwing off his sand-proof cloak. "It's so hot! So stuffy!"
Kong thought of Su's brocade umbrella and reminded her that she could use it to block the sun.
Once the exquisite brocade umbrella is opened, it immediately brings a touch of the soft atmosphere of Liyue Water Village.
But when the Traveler Team saw the projection on the ground, they were all speechless.
The thin and transparent gauze shadow and the hazy fallen flowers depicted on the soft white umbrella surface are clearly visible, and the sunshade effect is almost non-existent.
Paimeng recalled Xingqiu's complaints about his own products, "It turns out this umbrella can neither block the sun nor the rain."
No wonder before their Traveler Team and Shen He started the trend of using brocade umbrellas to take pictures, the only use of the brocade umbrellas of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce was to hang them on the wall as decoration!
