Chapter 32: Night Visitors
"You're passing by Liyue Harbor, and you want to come to my place for a meal?"
Gu Sanqiu raised his eyebrows. After considering the pot of soup that Grandma Ping took away, he seemed to have understood the purpose of the other party's visit.
This guy seems to be, maybe, a greedy cat.
However, just as Grandma Ping handed it over, this guy ran over impatiently. Isn’t he afraid of being punished by Grandma’s shock wave?
"I wonder what you would like to eat, sir."
"Just order whatever you want. Any dish is fine as long as it satisfies me."
The black-robed man waved his hand gently: "As long as you satisfy me, not only will the reward be satisfactory to you, but I will also personally teach you."
"oh?"
A smile appeared on Gu Sanqiu's lips. This was really interesting. The fact that gods and ghosts were guests of the Gu family was not just talk.
Knowing the taboos of incense burners and yet being so brazen as to offer advice, it can be said that this guy is definitely not a normal human in disguise.
There is an eighty to ninety percent chance that they are existences hidden in legends and stories.
"please wait."
Gu Sanqiu turned around and went to the kitchen, pretending to get some ingredients while trying to guess the identity of this guy.
"He came here impatiently in the middle of the night. If we talk about animals that have achieved great success, which species are more impatient or act without thinking?"
"Well, there shouldn't be any magical species like Erha in Liyue."
Gu Sanqiu came out holding a box that was emitting cold air. He used the elemental power of rock to move the bottom of the fire where the soup was just cooked over and heated up the oil in the pot.
"Well, the use of elemental power is indeed amazing. "
The black-robed man touched his chin and said, "It seems that there is nothing . Do you need to consider the secret method?"
Gu Sanqiu opened the food box, and a strong fishy aroma wafted out from it.
“This taste is strong enough!”
The black robe shook lightly, and the ingredients that could emit this scent could be made into delicious food in the conventional sense, even if the chef's skills were just mediocre!
"Tsk, I was originally planning to use this thing for a prank."
Gu Sanqiu frowned: "I thought I could trick Hu Tao into eating this thing."
The elemental force of rock condensed into a pair of clean chopsticks, which gently picked out pieces of fish with salt still visible on them from the food box. Gu Sanqiu sniffed, then looked at the food box with a complicated look.
"I haven't tasted this for a long time."
Item: Son of Silver Herring
Source: A secret place
Note: Which genius idiot came up with this thing, using canned herrings, soy milk, stinky tofu and pickled puffins as the base, and then filling it with the source of the world to create a miniature ocean world. Is this seafood edible?
The corners of Gu Sanqiu's mouth twitched violently.
Is this food? Or is that really the point?
This is probably at the level of a biological weapon, the kind that can cause mass destruction!
Shit, after all this time, there are still stinky tofu, pickled sea urchins and soy milk. So strictly speaking, my luck this time can be considered pretty good?
At least what was taken out looked like a fish.
At least there are no deadly things like "stinky tofu octopus" or "deep-sea soy milk anglerfish".
The aroma of frying and grilling, or rather the strange smell that was so smelly that it obscured the taste buds, began to fill the entire compound.
The man in black robe had already begun to feel that something was wrong. If the fishy smell just now made him feel hungry, then the smell now felt like someone was releasing poison gas in front of him!
"Hey, little friend, are you sure this thing is edible?"
"Of course, the Fengxiang Gate is open, and all gods and ghosts are guests. Of course I will use the highest quality ingredients to entertain you."
Gu Sanqiu was talking nonsense in a serious manner. He had plenty of this kind of food, but most of them were blue sky and white clouds, so he felt that they were on par with each other.
As for the purple ingredients, Gu Sanqiu felt that if he really caught them, he would not dare to go out for a few days, otherwise he would be the second guy who gave the likes in a few minutes.
"Haha, I suddenly want to say thank you."
The man in black robe looked at the fried fish that Gu Sanqiu had prepared, and suddenly he had the urge to overturn the table and run away.
"Please enjoy your meal, sir. It's not convenient to prepare other complicated dishes at this time of night, so I can only ask you to eat something simple."
Gu Sanqiu's expression remained unchanged, but he was actually also enduring that strange smell.
He was only worried about one thing now, and that was that if this smell lingered in his ears like music for three days, he would really consider finding an inn to stay in for a while.
“Is this food really edible?”
The black-robed visitor expressed his doubt.
"This is seafood. The more smelly this kind of fish is, the better it tastes."
"So the more delicious it is, the stinkier it is, right?"
“I don’t think there is any essential difference between these two sentences.”
"Okay, I'll believe you this time."
The black-robed visitor held up the plate in one hand and used the elemental power to condense a pair of chopsticks in the other hand. There were even some slightly delicate patterns on them.
“Wow.”
Gu Sanqiu smiled. The idea of showing off his skills was so obvious that it was blinding.
After taking a bite of the herring, the visitor clearly felt that the fish meat turned into strips and flowed towards the stomach like water, like a school of fish falling under a waterfall.
“The taste is really good, but the flavor…”
The black-robed visitor lifted up his robe, revealing a cat face with white fur and black stripes.
"I go."
This is a really greedy cat.
"This taste is like a hundred bugs exploding in my mouth. It's so cruel!"
The greedy cat took another bite of fish, then forced himself to give Gu Sanqiu a thumbs up.
"Very good, I didn't expect it to have such a good recovery effect. I feel like I can even fight ten now!"
This is indeed true. As the greedy cat ate mouthfuls of herring, although the stench made it somewhat lose its sense of taste, it was instead captivated by the smell and could not stop eating.
In addition to the restorative effect on the body, the stench suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and transformed into cold currents with a salty and humid smell that kept him calm.
"No, not just calm."
The greedy cat murmured to himself: "This is an increase, this is the increase in spiritual consciousness that can comprehend the great way!"
"Hahaha, I finally came to the right place today!"
Gu Sanqiu still had a blank expression on his face. He never doubted the effect of the food. He had eaten so many things produced by the Golden Finger, and so far there had been only benefits and no harm.
But he suspected that the cat's only purpose in saying so many nice things was to trick him into having a bite of that thing.
He now remembered what was written in the notes. He probably would never touch a world created based on canned herrings in his lifetime.
Another point is that notes are usually a place for someone to mock others and express his or her own views. This time, it is the first time I have seen such an angry tone and writing style.
To sum up, you want him to eat this stuff?
Impossible. I even want to say crawl to you intimately.
A hundred fat insects of different species explode in your mouth?
Gu Sanqiu said that he didn't want to try that weird feeling.
