I'm a male god in Liyue

"Mr. Xia means..."

"If she's willing, I can give her some culinary guidance during this time."

Qin had eaten the pastries Xia Zhi made yesterday, and the exquisite taste still lingered on her tongue.

She had eaten Xiangling's cooking before and thought it was delicious. Now that Xiangling had become Xia Zhi's apprentice, Xia Zhi's culinary skills were clearly far superior to Xiangling's.

Qin's eyes lit up, and she said, "Mr. Xia is willing to mentor Noelle, that's wonderful... Noelle!"

Qin called out in that direction.

Noelle put down what she was doing and walked over, her face still serious. She asked, "Commander Jean, do you need my help?"

Qin introduced her: "This is Mr. Xia from Liyue, and also Xiangling's master."

"Xiang Ling?"

Noelle was taken aback.

She knew Xiangling. Last year, when Xiangling came to Mondstadt for culinary training, she even challenged her to a cooking competition, and Xiangling lost slightly.

This Mr. Xia is Xiangling's master, so he must be a very skilled chef.

Qin looked at Noel and said, "Mr. Xia just ate the dishes you made and felt that you have a great talent for cooking. I hope you can give me some pointers."

Noelle turned to look at Xia Zhi, still seemingly a little confused: "You want to guide me..."

Xia Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, I feel that you still have great potential in cooking that has not been discovered. It would be a great pity to let it go to waste."

Noel paused for a moment, then lowered her head apologetically and said, "I am very grateful for your appreciation, Mr. Xia, but my dream is to be a true knight, not a chef, so please allow me to decline your guidance."

Xia Zhi found it amusing and asked, "Are you really going to refuse?"

Noel replied earnestly, "Yes, my schedule is already very tight. I'm preparing for this year's knight selection, and I really can't find any extra time to learn cooking from you..."

There seemed to be a determined light shining in the girl's eyes.

Xia Zhi nodded and said, "In that case, let's forget about it. I wish you success in becoming a full-fledged knight this year."

Noelle looked at him and said earnestly, "Thank you for your blessing, and I hope you have a pleasant time in Mondstadt."

The maid turned and went back to her work.

Qin said with a hint of helplessness, "Sigh, what a pity."

Gan Yu, with a strange expression, also said, "It is quite a pity."

After all, this was an act of kindness from a deity, and this girl just refused it outright...

The three continued with their lunch.

A while later, a red figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the restaurant.

It's Amber.

She surveyed the restaurant, muttering, "So many people, there are no seats left. I wonder if I can find someone I know to share a table with... Oh, Director Qin? And Mr. Xia!!"

Amber's eyes lit up, and she quickly ran over: "Good afternoon, everyone! Leader Jean, what brings you to the restaurant for lunch today?"

Qin pointed and smiled, "I'm entertaining guests."

Amber looked at Xia Zhi and smiled, "Mr. Xia, I was just about to look for you, but I didn't expect to run into you here. What a coincidence."

Xia Zhi asked curiously, "What does Miss Amber want with us?"

"Didn't you guys say you wanted to meet our Knights' alchemist? I ran into Sugar on the street today! I told her about it, and she said she'd be waiting for us at the lab this afternoon so we could come find her."

"Oh, is that so? I'm so sorry to trouble you, Miss Amber."

"What trouble or not... Leader Qin, may I sit here?"

"of course."

"Hehe, I'll go get my food first."

Amber ran to the food station, and soon she returned with a plate full of food.

"Miss Amber has a huge appetite."

"I'm so hungry after patrolling for so long."

"Right, you can have some snacks."

"As for snacks, I actually prefer instant noodles."

"Instant noodles..."

"Xiangling gave me a few buckets a couple of days ago, but I've already eaten them all..."

Qin listened with a bit of confusion: "Instant noodles? What's that?"

Amber immediately said, "That's a super delicious noodle dish made by Mr. Xia! Just pour in hot water and wait a little while before you can eat it!"

Qin found it hard to imagine.

Amber tried to describe it: "It's a kind of dried-out noodle block. You pour water on it and the noodles soften. Then you add seasonings and the soup becomes very flavorful. It's the best noodles I've ever eaten."

Qin still couldn't imagine how delicious such a strange kind of noodle would be.

Xia Zhi smiled and took out a cup of instant noodles, placing it on the table.

Amber exclaimed excitedly, "This is it!"

Qin also looked at the paper tube: "Is this it?"

Xia Zhi said, "Yes, this is instant noodles. Would Commander Qin like to try it?"

Qin was a little curious: "Okay."

Amber swallowed pitifully, "Mr. Xia, I want to eat too."

Xia Zhi took out another bucket and said with a smile, "Okay, here's one for you too."

Amber immediately beamed with joy: "Thank you, Mr. Xia!"

Looking at Amber beside her, Jean felt that Amber was so spineless...

Qin coughed and said, "Amber, you still have so much food left. Will you be able to finish it all?"

Amber glanced at her plate, looking a little worried: "Oh yeah, I can't finish it... Mr. Xia, then let's not soak my bucket for now, I'll save it for when I get hungry during my patrol this afternoon!"

Xia Zhi handed her the bucket of instant noodles: "Okay."

Qin received another bucket of instant noodles. She tore open the sealed paper lid and saw that there was a solid noodle cake inside, with some sauce and vegetables on top.

"This is……"

"It's made with special mushrooms and sauce."

"So how do we eat this?"

"Just like Miss Amber just said, pour some boiling water into the paper tube until it covers the dough, wait two minutes, and it's ready to eat."

"I see... Noelle."

Qin called out again in that direction.

Noelle put down what she was doing again and walked over. Her face was still serious as she asked, "Commander Qin, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Could you please give me some boiling hot water?"

"it is good."

A moment later, Noelle brought over a kettle, from which white steam was still rising.

Qin took the kettle and poured some hot water into the paper tube.

As soon as the sauce and vegetables were heated by the hot water, a rich and unique aroma wafted out and filled the entire restaurant.

All the knights who were having their meal simultaneously raised their heads and looked at this spot.

What...is this smell?

Chapter 457 The Friendship of Young Girls (4K)

A very distinctive and unfamiliar aroma wafted through the restaurant.

Noelle, standing by the table, looked with some surprise at the paper bucket in the hands of the band leader.

"It smells so good." Jean couldn't help but sniff, then looked up at Amber and asked, "Is this all I need?"

"That's right! Team leader, put it on, and we can start eating in two more minutes!"

"Ah."

Qin placed the kettle in her hand on the table.

Noelle, who was sitting at the table, withdrew her gaze and asked softly, "Captain Jean, do we still need hot water?"

"no need."

"Then I'll take the kettle with me."

"Okay, trouble."

Noelle silently took the water bottle and left, seemingly uninterested in this novel instant noodle dish, which was also the first time she had ever seen it.
