Chapter 399: The Queen of the Summer Festival
"Master, come and look, come and look, it's the 'Summer Festival Swimming Fish'." Xiao Gong took out a dessert in the shape of a goldfish and waved it in front of Ren Lian Lingyi.
"It's too sweet, Xiao Gong-chan, but the shape is worthy of praise, very beautiful." Ren Lian Lingyi complained after smelling it, saying that the sweetness of this dessert was too high.
"This level of dessert should be given to the general."
The goldfish dessert floated up and was taken by a hand. "It may be a little too sweet for you, but it may be just right for me." said the general.
“It is indeed very delicious.”
"Greetings, General." Xiao Gong hurriedly saluted.
"No need to be so polite." General Lei Dian stopped Xiao Gong from saluting. "It's rest time now. I also want to see the fireworks of today's summer festival."
Xiao Gong, such a lively person, feels a little awkward facing the general, a superior who is always upright and methodical.
Then he took out a few of the 'Summer Festival Fish' that he had prepared earlier and offered them to the general before leaving quickly.
"Look how scared you are of the child." Ren Lian Lingyi smiled quite happily.
Tian Jian had pity on him. He was not good at dealing with people like Xiao Gong, and Xiao Gong was not good at dealing with people like the general. This could be considered a case of "there is always someone better than you".
However, Ren Lian Lingyi's goal was achieved as early as after he accepted Xiao Gong as his disciple.
Before accepting Xiaogong as his apprentice, 30% of the fires in the entire Inazuma Castle and festivals were caused by Xiaogong. But after accepting Xiaogong as his apprentice, even Lingyi didn't need to say anything, Xiaogong himself was very enthusiastic about researching how to prevent fireworks from causing fires.
In the end, it was naturally quite fruitful.
Not only did they develop a more precise material ratio for alchemical gunpowder, but they also developed combustion-enhancing agents that accelerate the burning of fireworks.
A more precise material ratio of alchemical gunpowder allows Xiao Palace to achieve the greatest effect with the least cost, while the combustion-aiding agent allows the fireworks to emit the greatest heat in the shortest time.
Well, in other words, the power is increased, but the duration is shortened.
When attacking, the range becomes shorter, but the fire damage increases.
When the fireworks were set off, there was not much firework debris falling on the ground.
The residue after fireworks has always been an important cause of fire. After this thing has been reduced, the fires caused by Xiao Palace have been reduced from 30% to 2%. That is to say, now only two out of about one hundred fires are caused by fireworks from Naganohara Fireworks Shop.
Although Xiao Gong's name is still the focus of attention of the Fire Department, the Town Magistrate's Office and the Industrial Magistrate's Office, after this report came out, several departments are not so strict on Xiao Gong.
As for the courtyard fire... Xiao Palace has also improved the formula of fireworks to make them less easy to burn. As long as it is not left alone or deliberately set on fire, the probability of the courtyard fire causing a fire is now almost zero.
"Fireworks are coming!"
As Xiao Gong shouted, a huge triple thunder appeared in the sky, followed by the sound of fireworks exploding.
This was followed by a variety of firework patterns.
With the appearance of a raccoon dog in the sky, the entire summer festival’s fireworks display came to a perfect end.
"Ah~ How come Zaoyou is in the sky?"
"Little civet cat. How is it? I hope I didn't disappoint you." Xiao Gong grabbed the shocked Zao You from behind.
"I'm not a civet cat, I'm a raccoon dog, a raccoon dog!" said the legal loli dissatisfiedly.
"Look, I've escaped successfully!" A gust of wind element rose up around Zaoyou, and then the whole person disappeared.
"Eh!? It's running too fast. I wanted to ask if there's anything this Fireworks Tanuki can improve on."
"It's a raccoon, it's a raccoon!" Zaoyou's angry voice came from a distance, followed by Xiaogong's laughing voice.
"That's great." Ren Lian Lingyi said with emotion.
"Greetings, General. Greetings, Lord Renlian." The Kamisato siblings saluted the two of them.
The general nodded at the two men.
"Oh~ It's the head of the society, taking your sister to the festival?" Ren Lian Lingyi scratched his head. It seemed like he kept running into acquaintances today.
"Yes, I just didn't expect to meet General and Renren." said Kamisato Ayato.
"It's a rare day off. It happens to be the summer festival, so it's okay to go out for a walk." Ren Lian Lingyi said with a smile.
"It's just new. I haven't seen you two at a festival in a long time." Kamisato Ayato and Ren Lian Lingyi were chatting, while Kamisato Ayaka was offering the desserts she made to the general.
The pink fox came out from the general's chest and enjoyed the dessert called Red Stove and a Little Snow together. Regardless of how it tasted, at least its appearance was good and pleasing to the eye.
And to be honest, it matches the fur color of the Son of God very well, Ren Lian Lingyi, who was watching from the side, thought to himself.
After the Shogun enjoyed the offerings, the Kamisato brothers and sisters said goodbye as they still wanted to continue to visit the festival.
"I didn't expect the little girl from the Kamisato family to have such good skills." said the general.
Due to the constraints of the world, even if the general and Aying have mastered the skills of a cooking god in other worlds, it is already very good for them to be able to cook food in the world of Teyvat.
"It's still a long way from me." Ren Lian Lingyi said arrogantly.
"Then go ahead and do it." The general and the Son of God kept staring at Ren Lian Lingyi.
Ren Lian Lingyi was sweating all over after watching this, so he quickly changed the subject: "I'm currently researching the cooking machine with Liyue's Master Liuyun Jiefeng, aren't I?"
"It will be much easier to make delicious food with that thing." Ren Lian Lingyi said.
After finally fooling the two troublesome guys, Ren Lian Lingyi breathed a sigh of relief. Oh my god, what happened?
Lying on the general's lap and enjoying the food from the Son of God, Ren Lian Lingyi strengthened the effect of the spell that confused his presence. Now, finally no one would disturb him and them from enjoying the night of the summer festival.
…
"The new deputy minister, Dolly Sango Mahabayi, is a very interesting person."
"According to my observation, she seems to have reached a very strict contract with the guy called Wu Ling." Takemoto introduced Dolly.
"I know that guy, his strength is all supported by the town spirit, but you are wrong about one thing." Ren Lian Lingyi said, "Although his strength is all supported by the town spirit, his life energy level is not."
"And Dolly's life energy level is not low. She has already obtained her three life stars. In other words, she is qualified in terms of life energy level alone."
“!?” Takemoto felt himself slightly petrified.
"Takemoto, you have been fooled by her." Ren Lian Lingyi laughed. Who would have thought that Master Sangge Mahabayi did not need to fight to improve his life energy level, he only needed to do business.
