Chapter 396 Paimon’s Poor Teeth (2)

"Wow, wow, Ying, is my face swollen? My teeth hurt so much."

"Paimeng, Xiangling told you not to eat anything too cold, but you secretly ate a popsicle. You feel better now, right? It must be inflammation again. Let's go to Bubulu to look for Baizhu."

Knowing that it was his own greed that caused it, Paimeng covered his swollen face and flew behind Ying with his head down. Xiangling, who was standing nearby, was going to Bubulu to buy some lotus pods for cooking, so she headed towards Bubulu with Ying. Ruojin hadn't seen Qiqi for a long time, so he also pulled Hutao to follow Xiangling to visit Bubulu.

Unfortunately, just as Hu Tao walked out of Wanmin Hall, the ferrywoman came hurriedly and said that someone from the General Affairs Department wanted to see her for something. Hu Tao had no choice but to say goodbye to them and go see what the General Affairs Department wanted to see her for.

On the way to Bulu, Guoba saw Paimon with a swollen face and laughed at him, which made Paimon very angry. If Paimon hadn't had a toothache, Paimon would have taken a big bite of Guoba to let Guoba see how powerful she, the emergency food Paimon, was.

"Brother Ruojin, it's you guys, what's wrong?"

When they arrived at Bubulu, the first person Ying and Xiangling saw was Qiqi, who was standing at the door of Bubulu sorting medicinal herbs. Qiqi tilted her head in confusion when she saw Ying and Xiangling enter Bubulu. When they heard Qiqi's voice, Baizhu, who was correcting the bones of a man dressed as an adventurer, also heard a female voice.

"Oh? A rare guest has arrived. It seems that you are not busy today. Then would you like to help us collect some herbs? The reward will definitely not disappoint you."

"Eh? Really? Wait, why did Bai Shu's voice become like this?"

Even though her teeth hurt, Pai Meng stood up immediately after hearing that the reward would not let them down. Maybe the toothache made Pai Meng's brain work better, and she actually noticed that there was something wrong with Bai Zhu's voice.

"Hey, look at your neck."

"Oh, it's you, Changsheng, who's talking."

Hearing the disappointment in Paimeng's tone, Changsheng on Bai Zhu's neck rolled his eyes at Paimeng. But before Paimeng could say anything else, Changsheng seemed to have thought of something. He stared at Ruojin and said excitedly.

"Wait, you guys aren't going to take Qiqi out to play again, are you? That won't work. It's the Moon Chasing Festival now, and there are too many tourists coming to Liyue Harbor. Bubulu can't handle it all. The last time you took Qiqi out to play, Baishu was almost exhausted by himself."

"Changsheng, don't get excited. We are not here to take Qiqi out to play. We are here to treat Paimeng."

Seeing that Changsheng on Bai Zhu's neck was getting more and more excited, even his sharp fangs were exposed, Ying hurriedly pushed Paimeng out behind her.

"Um, Ying, why don't we go to Mondstadt to find Albedo? I always feel like there's something wrong with Changsheng's eyes..."

Paimeng shrank her neck timidly. She always felt that there was something wrong with the way Changsheng looked at her. Would Changsheng deliberately retaliate against her while she was seeing a doctor?
"Haha, Changsheng, don't scare Paimeng. You are here to treat little Paimeng today, right? Little Paimeng, open your mouth so I can see your teeth."

After Bai Zhu packed up the medicinal herbs in his hand, he came to Paimeng and carefully examined Paimeng's teeth. After the inspection, Bai Zhu asked with some surprise.

"I don't know what little Paimon ate. I think the hardness of little Paimon's teeth should be much harder than that of ordinary people. Now there is a crack on one of his teeth. It's incredible."

"Uh, this is what she eats."

In order to let Bai Shu understand Paimeng's condition more clearly, Ying directly summoned the salted fish sword. Bai Shu looked at the half-man-high large salted fish in front of him and his face twitched. This thing can't be eaten no matter how you look at it? Maybe Paimeng's problem is not just teeth. Forget it, he will prescribe some brain tonic medicine for Paimeng later.

"Although I don't know what kind of creature Paimon is, if I were to treat it, I would have to extract the tooth first and prescribe some anti-inflammatory drugs."

"Ah? I don't want to lose a tooth, Bai Shu, do you have any other ideas?"

When she heard that she had to have her tooth extracted, Paimeng turned pale with fear and hid behind Ruojin. However, she did not give up hope and asked Baishu if there were any other treatment methods. "There is really no other method. The main thing is that your tooth is too cracked, Paimeng. If it is not extracted in time, it may continue to hurt."

Bai Zhu had a serious expression on his face. Although he didn't know much about tooth-related diseases, for a tooth problem as serious as Paimon's, he could only extract it.

"Don't be sad, Paimon. Let's go to Mondstadt to find Albedo. Albedo has so many magical alchemical potions. He should be able to repair your teeth, Paimon."

Seeing that Paimeng was a little sad, Ying couldn't help but comfort Paimeng. As for the matter of being a judge in the cooking competition, compared to Paimeng's toothache, Ying could still give it up. Ruojin and Xiangling on the side also comforted Paimeng.

"If you guys have nothing to do, then don't block the way here. Bai Zhu has many patients to treat."

Changsheng was worried that Ruojin and his group would kidnap Qiqi again, so he didn't have a good attitude towards them. When he saw that Changsheng was starting to drive them away, Xiangling hurriedly told him why she came.

"Mr. Baishu, I want to buy some fresh lotus pods. I also want to participate in a cooking competition. I would like to ask two... no, three people to tell me what kind of dishes they like to eat."

Since she had no ideas for new dishes, Xiangling wanted to ask the people in Liyue Harbor who had a good relationship with her. When Changsheng on Bai Zhu's neck heard that Xiangling had included her, he became happy.

"You are a very sweet girl, I can help you with this."

"What kind of food do you like to eat? Uh... they're all the same, tasteless..."

Qiqi didn't know how to answer this question. In her impression, all dishes seemed to taste the same. Baishu also stood up to explain.
"Qiqi has some problems with her sense of taste and can't taste the food. Please forgive me."

"It's okay, I know all this, but even so, Qiqi should have some preferences. I want to know what kind of food you like."

Hearing that Qiqi had no sense of taste, Xiangling felt a little sorry for Qiqi, so she specifically asked Qiqi what her preferences were, so that she could cook some of Qiqi's favorite dishes based on her preferences and send them to her in the future.

"Feeling... touch? Touch, yes."

“It’s cool, and I like the coconut milk.”

Xiangling looked at Qiqi, expecting her answer. Some of Qiqi's answers were within Ying's expectations, as she had made a big joke about coconut milk before.

"But coconut milk is a beverage. Baizhu, Changsheng, what about you? Do you have any ideas?"

Seeing that Qiqi really couldn't answer, Xiangling had to give up getting the answer from Qiqi, but fortunately Baizhu and Changsheng were still quite normal.

"For me, anything meaty and easy to eat is good, but not too spicy, as we snakes don't like spicy food."

"I agree with what Changsheng said. For example, medicinal food is a very good choice."

Baizhu took out several herbs commonly used in making medicinal food and placed them on the counter to provide ideas for Xiangling. He was not very knowledgeable about medicinal food, and the medicinal food he made every time was very unpalatable. Even Qiqi, who had no sense of taste, did not like to eat medicinal food, so he really hoped that Xiangling could help him improve the taste of the medicinal food.

"Well, it is indeed very valuable for reference. Medicinal food is more about balance than ordinary home-cooked food. Although I don't pay attention to these when cooking, if I consider the combination of taste and effect in this competition, it should add a lot of points to the dish. Thank you, Baishu."
