Chapter 152
Qingxi has always thought that it is very unlikely for ordinary people to produce gourmet cells in their bodies.
After all, when she arrived at the Gourmet World, no matter what Ah Tong told her or the common sense she had experienced there, they all told her that unless she could find a regenerated jellyfish, a food that might even become extinct, and directly extract the gourmet cells from its body, anyone else who wanted gourmet cells would have to eat more.
Only by eating more can the change from quantitative change to qualitative change.
There is nothing wrong with applying this sentence to ordinary people in the food world.
But after she brings the ingredients from there to another world, it may not be very useful.
At least that's what she thought.
Because, after it was confirmed that Giyu Tomioka and Gyomei had developed gourmet cells in their bodies and were hosting a gourmet demon, the other pillars also began to produce gourmet cells in their bodies within just a few months, as if a switch had been pressed.
...emmmm to be honest, if Atong had not clearly told her that this was another anime when she first came here, she would really start to doubt whether this world is running on a small earth next to the Gourmet Earth.
Of course, there is another possibility for the chain reaction of gourmet cells like theirs - because they are important supporting characters in this show.
As for important supporting roles, no matter whether they are villains or heroes, they will always have more favorable opportunities than those passers-by who only have a random surname or even no name.
"These ingredients have been cleaned." Urashima Kotetsu held a basket in his arms, which was filled with fresh vegetables that were still wet. "Where should I put them?"
"Here, here." In front of the table, Toushirou Bōden with a hairpin on his bangs stood on a small stool. He half turned sideways and waved at Urashima Kotetsu who walked in from outside.
"Master, is it okay to chop the crab leg pork into this shape?" Kenshin Kagemitsu asked as he trotted over and brought the chopped meat to the girl.
Qingxi, who was processing the ingredients at hand, quickly turned her head to take a look. "Well, it's done. Next, cut the water-glowing carrots, sky celery, fragrant mushrooms, and seven-flavor green onions into small pieces."
"Leave it to me." The little boy said happily.
It seems that he likes the job he is currently assigned to.
"I have already kneaded the dough. It will be ready for use in thirty minutes after it has risen." The young man's voice sounded, reminding the girl.
"In that case, Xiaodou, please help me watch the fire on the stove." Qingxi said casually.
"I see."
Compared with previous New Years, Qingxi can be said to be very busy this year.
Because in previous years she only needed to prepare the New Year's dinner for her family, this year on New Year's Day, her "Axi Canteen" is still open to the pillars.
Although she didn't need to prepare a New Year's Eve dinner for each of them, she still had to send over a few dishes made with high-quality ingredients.
To put it bluntly, if you want the foodie devil to help you, you have to give him some benefits. You can't let him have nothing to eat during the New Year, or let him eat too casually.
So, she can't rest here.
However, in doing so, she would have to throw away her own dinner to the sword-wielding man who came this time.
"Whoosh, it's snowing outside again." Tsurumaru Kuninaga said as he stood at the kitchen door, patting the snow that had fallen on his body and had not melted away.
Following Tsurumaru Kuninaga's words, Bao Ding Toushirou looked out the door and asked, "With such heavy snow, will Mr. Beiming Island still go out on patrol tonight?"
"Not tonight," Tsurumaru Kuninaga corrected, "but he's already gone to patrol the town here."
"That's not very tiring," Kenshin Kagemitsu said. "Last night, he was out on patrol all night, only returning to rest at dawn. Then, after less than five hours of rest, he went out on patrol again. Can Mr. Beiming Island handle it?"
Especially since it is winter now, the burden on the body is even greater.
"Don't underestimate him," Tsurumaru Kuninaga said. "The Rock Breathing he practices is the most difficult of the five breaths to master. Currently, he's the only one in the entire Demon Slayer Corps who uses it... He's like an ascetic. Do you think a person like Sadmele would admit he can't do it?"
By the way, he didn't go out alone. Yamabushi went with him. And they even agreed to go on patrol together tonight."
Kenshin Kagemitsu chuckled. He was not surprised at all that the person who would do such a thing was Yamabushidono.
Because he is the "Extreme Master" of Honmaru.
.
"Four Joy Shaomai, Five Blessings Dumplings, Eight Treasure Rice Pudding, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall... Each person gets a backpack, and it's insulated. Jiro, all you have to do is carry them over smoothly."
The girl spoke to Jiro, and the others worked together to secure the backpacks on Crow's body. After all the backpacks were secured and made sure they would not fall off, they stepped back.
"Alright." The giant crow croaked and flew into the sky. Qingxi withdrew his gaze and pulled Beimingyu Xingming towards the living room, "Xingming, let's eat breakfast today.
This way we can chat for a while."
"Yeah." Beimingyu Xingming, who was being pulled away by the girl, responded.
"Master, try the Ida roll I made."
“Mm, it’s delicious.”
"Master, I made teriyaki-flavored pork chops."
“It tastes great.”
After Qingxi finished eating the food that was placed before him with two short knives, he turned around, picked up a steamer, and handed it to the tall young man who was silently eating his dinner in front of him. "Xingming, I made vegetarian Four Joys Shaomai and Five Blessings Dumplings. Would you like to try some?"
"Yes, thank you."
"How is it?" Tsurumaru Kuninaga drank the wine in front of him, then he turned his head and asked the blue-haired young man beside him with the crescent moon reflected in his eyes. "Is the master very cute?"
"Hahahaha." The blue-haired young man laughed out loud, but his laughter always made people feel the style of an old man.
After laughing, the blue-haired young man nodded, "Yeah, Ji-jun is very cute. From now on, we can get along well."
As it was not the first sword summoned by Qingxi by accident, nor the first sword that came to this era to observe people in the name of expedition, before this, Mikazuki Munechika's impression of Qingxi came from the words of the sword men who returned from the expedition, which was an image of the princess with a personal color.
However, it didn't matter even if he had never seen her. From the good moods of the sword men when they came back, he could tell that the girl had a really good personality.
Perhaps it was due to some tacit understanding between the "old swords", after learning about Tsurumaru Kuninaga's idea from the returning Higekiri, he did not question his approach, but began to magnify the interests of the Honmaru family and the Shinsengumi whom he had never met based on his idea.
For example, when Mitsutada Cangdai came over, he told Tsurumaru Kuninaga that he wanted to find a way to separate the time gap where the Honmaru was located from the Time Government while preserving some of the passages leading to other places within the Honmaru that the Time Government had arranged...
"Would you like a drink?" Tsurumaru Kuninaga shook the bottle in his hand. "This is the wine brewed by the master."
Mikazuki Munechika raised the empty wine glass in front of him to the white-haired young man, "Very good, very good."
The light green wine touched the young man's cherry-red lips, slowly slid down his mouth into his throat, and then slid into his body from his throat.
"Oh?" Mikazuki Munechika, the most beautiful of the Five Swordsmen in the World, now had a dull look on his face, a look that only an old man could have. "This wine..." He thought for a moment, looking away. "It feels like I've drunk a rainbow."
"That's because it's a fruit wine made from the rainbow fruit and hundreds of other fruits," Tsurumaru Kuninaga said with a wry smile, as if Mikazuki Munechika had just praised him.
He held the bottle mouth in front of him for a moment, and soon a rainbow floated out from the bottle mouth and flew into the air. He said, "Beautiful, isn't it? If the Song Fairy were here, he would definitely compose a passionate poem about this wine, because it is so elegant."
After he finished speaking, he turned into a fallen gourd and rolled over the large round table that was specially moved from Honmaru and landed in front of Qingxi who was happily eating with the tantos.
When the other person cast her eyes towards him, he waved at her, and when the other person lowered her head, he whispered something mysteriously in her ear. After that, both of them looked towards Mikazuki Munechika from time to time.
How could Mikazuki Munechika not see how the two's actions were so obvious? Seeing that the girl was obviously persuaded by the other party, the old man smiled, but he couldn't help but feel a little more excited in his heart.
Tsurumaru Kuninaga, who had taken two bottles of wine from Qingxi, came back rolling over and said, "Come on, try the million-dollar wine brewed by the master."
Mikazuki Munechika looked down at the wine that the other party had poured into his glass. Compared with the previous bottle of wine with a rainbow visible on it, it seemed plain and simple.
When the other party had the words "I want to see your face change" clearly written on his face, the blue-haired young man still chuckled, spread his sleeves, and drank the glass of wine in his hand.
Then, Mikazuki Munechika, who had not yet been greatly impacted by the ingredients from the gourmet world, started crying.
And at this moment, accompanied by a click, the beautiful scene of a tear flowing from the corner of the eye with misty eyes was captured by Kiyoki with the Honmaru tatsu Mutsu no Kami Yoshiyuki, which was not a product of this era - Polaroid.
Without waiting for the other party to express his feelings, Tsurumaru Kuninaga poured him another glass of wine and said, "Come on, try this one."
This time, the tearful old man with the sword was forced to drink the food by Bai He beside him.
"Hmm—, good, so happy hahahaha..."
Click!
The old man's cheeks were red and he was intoxicated. The photo that was intended to lead people to commit a crime was taken by someone.
Qingxi lowered her head and looked back and forth at the photo. The same person in the photo had changed his expression so much in just a few minutes, and she couldn't help but be amazed.
The most beautiful thing in the world is not just an exaggeration.
Whether she was crying or expressing happiness, she switched between expressions with ease. She believed that if someone who didn't know the origins of the two photos saw them, they would simply think that the people in the photos were photographed wearing the same clothes at different times.
"Huh? Is the next activity taking photos?" Bao Ding Teng Shilang leaned his head closer to take a look, but when he saw that there was only one person in the photo, he pouted unhappily.
"Why are all of them Mikazuki?" He hugged Qingxi's arm, "Am I not cute enough? Why don't you take pictures of me?"
As he spoke, he didn't forget to pull Kenshin Kagemitsu, also wielding a short sword, and Urashima Kotetsu, who looked particularly fresh-faced, to his side. "If one isn't enough, add Kenshin and Urashima, and we'll have three of us. Wouldn't that still be enough to counteract one Mikazuki-dono?"
"Ah, if I had known it would be like this, I should have called Ran, Gokotai, Imaken and the others over. We, Honmaru 48, are not just good-looking people."
Listening to the mumbling of the boy who gave people a babyish feeling from head to toe, Qingxi's mouth twitched.
She looked at Kenshin Kagemitsu who had suddenly moved his seat to her left and tried to hold back, but she couldn't. "There's something I've wanted to say for a long time. Why do you guys, Tanto, have this..." Her expression was conflicted. "A spoiled personality?"
Her gaze turned and fell on the mature and steady Yagen Toushirou. After noticing her gaze, the black-haired boy was very considerate and peeled a piece of king crab for her.
"I always thought Tandao's personality would be like Yaoyan's," she continued. "After all, as we say in China, an inch longer is an inch stronger, an inch shorter is an inch more dangerous.
If you don't have a stable character, and are careless and heartless, you will be stabbed by the enemy."
"That seems to be the theory, but it also makes sense if you try to explain it from another angle," Bao Ding Tōshirō mumbled, contentedly taking a mouthful of the meat-filled Four Happiness Shaomai that the girl had brought to his lips. "Because we're short swordsmen, [danger] for us, we can also view this as a slightly dangerous game.
Which kid doesn’t like playing games?
In that case, it makes sense that we would appear as children after we manifested."
Qingxi held his chin with his hands. "Can it be explained like this? But it does seem to make sense."
"Master, let's take a photo together," Bao Ding Toushirou said eagerly. "Come to think of it, no one in Honmaru seems to have taken a photo with you yet. I want to be the first one."
"In that case, Bao Ding, Kenshin, and Urashima, let's take a photo together." It was just a small invitation, Qingxi could do it by himself, and naturally he would satisfy the small tanto and wakizashi who looked very happy every time they came to his side.
Kiyoki handed the Polaroid camera to Kunihiro Horikawa, who said he was there to help take the photo, and said to the three of them.
"But, for the next one, I want to take a photo with Xingming." She changed the subject and said.
"Well, now you can see how much the master values the people around him." Tsurumaru Kuninaga muttered. "Look how much he likes Beiming Island."
Mikazuki Munechika silently moved his wine glass away, not letting the crane next to him, who was already as sour as a lemon and still wanted to cause trouble, mix the wine that would make people feel extremely sad after drinking it into his glass.
He smiled with his eyes curved, and asked, "Isn't such a master good?"
"Good! Why not?" Tsurumaru Kuninaga puffed up his cheeks and said with an indescribable grievance in his voice, "But I'm not here."
"Haven't we spent enough time together? Haven't I been good enough to her? She only thinks about Beiming Island."
Tsurumaru Kuninaga became more and more resentful as he spoke. He looked exactly like a wife who had caught her husband having a tryst with his lover. She was hesitant but also wanted to roll up her sleeves and fight the mistress.
But, they are all thousand-year-old foxes transformed into spirits, so who can't tell that he is acting?
not to mention--
"Tsurumaru, do you want to take a picture with me?"
After taking the photo with Toshiro Hatano and Kagemitsu Kenshin, Kiyoki sat down next to Gyoumei Hirame. After asking him to do as he pleased, she stretched out her hand and made a scissors sign towards the Polaroid camera.
After taking the photo, she took the photo with Beiming Island Xingming and invited people around her to take a photo together.
It's New Year's Day, and there are so many people here. Not only is it tiring to serve food, but the atmosphere is also not as good as when the three of them celebrated the New Year at home.
She wanted to liven up the atmosphere by taking photos.
Thus, Tsurumaru Kuninaga became the first "little friend" to be named by her.
And this "little friend" just as she expected, actively participated and enjoyed it.
"Hey! Let me do it, let me do it." After putting the five-blessing dumplings that he had just put into his bowl into his mouth, Tsurumaru Kuninaga jumped up and rushed into the children's group happily.
"Huh? This is too rigid for taking photos. Master, follow my movements and let's strike a Superman pose."
"...How embarrassing! Can't we just take some serious pictures?" The girl's voice was filled with a hint of disgust.
"No, no," the young man insisted, "How about we take a picture of a pyramid?"
Qingxi: "...If everyone is wearing red, then we can set up a Christmas tree."
Tsurumaru Kuninaga: "It's not impossible."
“I refuse!!!”
