The treasure thieves of Teyvat rob Shenhe

Ever since she became a ghost and lost her sense of taste, even if she earns tens of millions of Mora as an idol and can buy a mountain of ice cream, she can no longer experience the sweetness and happiness she once had.

Alas, the cat sighed.

However, during this year's Lantern Festival, Mr. Zhongli from the Wangsheng Hall said that he had found a way to allow her to taste food for a short period of time!

Hee, the cat is happy.

However, in the middle of winter, there was no place selling ice cream in Liyue Harbor, and Maomao sighed again.

Walking in the market, Lady Tamako was not determined to find ice cream, but was entrusted by Yoko with an important task to buy some ingredients and prepare a delicious table in the evening.

Is there anything more delicious than sweet ice cream?

Lady Tamako likes sweets.

She suddenly remembered that when Yoko was a kitten in Liyue Harbor, during a Liyue festival, Yoko bought ginger, onions, pork and other ingredients, chopped them into fillings, rolled out the dough, and used her skillful hands to wrap many ear-shaped buns!

Hahaha, these are dumplings.

The big boss's laughter seemed to still echo in Lady Tamako's ears. The big boss, who liked to wear sunglasses to look cool, corrected Lady Tamako's wrong perception.

Dumplings are dumplings, and buns are buns, they are different.

What's different?

Lady Yuzi was very confused. They were both fillings wrapped in dough, the only difference was that one was small and the other was big, and one was boiled and the other was steamed.

Creating a new term just for such a small difference is not smart.

Master Yuzi was disdainful.

During the Lantern Festival last year, Lady Tamako did not find Yoko. She was not interested in dumplings and could not taste them. When the big boss, Yan'er and others gathered together to eat dumplings, Lady Tamako quietly slipped away, turned into a cat, hid on a tree branch, looked at the people below, and curled up into a ball to take a nap.

This year, Yoko was found, and she also lives with Lady Tamako in Liyue Harbor and the Hall of Rebirth.

The annual Lantern Festival is here again. Yoko follows the local customs and is very interested in dumplings. Lady Tamako will reluctantly like dumplings as well.

Lady Yuzi thought that when Yoko heard Mr. Zhongli say that he could restore her sense of taste, she happily hugged her and spun around for several times.

Lady Tamako was happier to be hugged by Yoko than to be able to eat dumplings.

By the way, when Yoko made dumplings for the first time, Lady Tamako secretly ate one. It was so hot that Lady Tamako felt her tongue was burned. That dumpling left a bad impression on Lady Tamako.

Tamako didn't understand why Yoko cried when she ate dumplings. Was it because they were too hot? At that time, Tamako couldn't speak yet, so she could only meow to attract Yoko's attention.

Generous Lady Tamako was willing to let Yoko wipe away her tears with her beautiful white fur.

There will be an event performance in the evening this year. Unlike the first time, Lady Tamako is already a mature idol. Sister Baizhi will take a day off when the performance is approaching to relax so that she can perform better.

So Lady Tamako was arranged by Yoko to buy groceries.

Lady Tamako shook her head after hearing this, but it was Yoko's request, so there was nothing she could do.

"Three bundles of green onions, N pounds of pork..." Lady Tamako took out a small note with Yoko's thoughtful note on it.

"Come and have a look! The Spring Festival couplets were personally written by the Traveler and Lord Paimon! Buy one, get one free! Come and have a look if you are passing by!"

“Those who have money support themselves with money, and those who don’t have money support themselves with others!”

Lady Tamako put down the small note and saw an acquaintance.

Ying and her white elf.

Lady Tamako has always been curious about what kind of animal Paimon turned into?

In addition to Ying and Paimeng, there was also that guy. He was lying on an old man's chair, drinking tea leisurely, without any enthusiasm of a vendor!

"Hey, Lady Tamako, have you eaten?" Paimon greeted enthusiastically.

"We ate...what are you doing?"

"Hey, Ying and I wrote a few more pairs of Spring Festival couplets and are selling them at the stall. Do you want one?" Paimeng tried to sell.

Spring Festival couplets…Oh, this is what the boss and Yoko put up this morning.

Lord Yuzi said, "The Spring Festival couplets have already been posted, so they are not needed."

Moreover, the big boss wrote it herself. According to her, good fortune comes from one's own efforts.

not understand.

Even though he didn't understand calligraphy, Lord Yuzi could tell that Mr. Zhongli's handwriting was better than the boss'.

But if you say it out loud, you will no longer be a qualified working cat.

"Brother Lin Ye, are you here to sell calligraphy this year? Let me see..." A noble and handsome young man came over to flatter that guy. The other party seemed to know a lot about this. He uttered some elegant words frequently and gave a high evaluation.

Lord Yuzi thought that since this person was knowledgeable, his handwriting must be pretty good too.

"By the way, Ying, Paimeng, and Master Linye, the boss asked us to notify you if we run into you and go to Wangsheng Hall to have the New Year's Eve dinner tonight."

"Shinhaku is there too," Lady Tamako added.

"Okay, I understand." Lin Ye said with a smile.

Lady Tamako said goodbye to Ying, Paimon, and Lin Ye, and continued her grocery shopping, where she ran into Qiliangliang who was delivering a courier.

This is a good friend.

Lady Tamako took the initiative to greet.

"Happy Lantern Festival!" Qiliang Liang said energetically, "I have to go deliver the packages. These are all delayed items. I'm leaving first!"

Lady Tamako looked at Kirara's receding back. She didn't want to be so busy, otherwise she would have no time to be with Yoko.

But she still envied Kirara for being so energetic and passionate about her work every day. Lady Tamako felt overwhelmed when she thought about her fans' strange requests.

The vegetable market was crowded with people, and Lady Yuzi was lost and wandering around.

"Wang!"

A dog bit the edge of Lady Tamako's skirt and led her to a place with few people.

It's Lamia.

"Why are you here?" Lamia asked in surprise.

"Why are you here?" Lady Yuzi was also surprised.

"Buying food," Lamia said as a matter of course, "It's Lantern Festival now, so follow the local customs and make some food that suits my taste."

Lady Yuzi's impression of Lamia was still the takeout she ordered from Wanmin Hall. Those were specially prepared meals with a high price, but Lamia had a house in Liyue Harbor and did not have to pay a mortgage, so she did not spend much money on food in a month, and thus lived a very carefree life.

Unlike a certain witch who is obsessed with having her own little nest.

"What do you want? I'll help you."

In Lamia's cognition, Lady Tamako is an outlier among humans. In other words, she is a close companion of Lamia, so the naturally frigid mermaid lady will also show enthusiasm.

Lady Tamako thought about it and accepted Lamia's kindness.

Half an hour later, Master Yuzi returned to the Hall of Rebirth, carrying large and small bags and several bundles of green onions as tall as a person.

The boss rolled up her sleeves and kneaded the dough in a Tai Chi-like technique, with flour on her cheeks.

Walnut is just a complete sham.

The main force still depends on Shen He and Yoko.

“I bought it.”

"Thank you for your hard work, Lady Tamako." Yoko smiled.

Master Tamako hummed.

Putting down the ingredients for making dumplings, Lady Tamako hid aside, reduced her presence, and watched silently.

For some reason, Lady Tamako felt at ease when she saw Yoko, Shinkaku, and the big boss doing something together.

At this time, Yan'er, Yuxi and other colleagues came out of the room. They were responsible for pasting Spring Festival couplets.

There are many rooms in the Hall of the Dead, and it takes a long time to post the couplets. Even if it is an institution that holds a funeral, they will still post some red festive couplets during the Lantern Festival.

After all, doesn’t Hu Tao like happy funerals? If there are some ghosts hiding in the hall of the dead, let them feel the festive atmosphere. Maybe they will be moved and reincarnate?

Yan'er called on Lord Yuzi for help, but Lord Yuzi wanted to appear hardworking and capable in front of Yoko, so he left with some muttering in his mind.

We were busy until the afternoon, when Lin Ye, Ying and Paimeng showed up and the dumplings were ready to be cooked.

"Good luck and good fortune."

"Congratulations on your prosperity."

Lady Yuzi saw Lin Ye and Hu Tao bowing to each other and shouting various blessings, as if hinting at something.

Paimon tilted his head curiously.

Ying said helplessly.

"Shouldn't the red envelope be given out tomorrow when we pay New Year's greetings?"

Lin Ye and Hu Tao were stunned and stared at Ying.

"what?"

"auspicious…"

"Congratulations…"

Ying held Paimengrun and helped Shenhe make dumplings.

The steaming dumplings come out of the pot.

It was getting cold at dusk, and white air could be exhaled when one opened one's mouth. There was a stone table under the jujube tree, and seven or eight people were sitting around it.

Mr. Zhongli arrives and uses a secret method to restore Lord Yuzi's sense of taste.

"Try it." Yoko said softly.

She brought a bowl for Lady Tamako.

Lady Tamako did not move, she saw the big boss holding a bowl and placing it in front of the portrait of Emperor Yanwang, burning incense and paper.

The big boss was mumbling something, but no one knew what he was saying.

"Hu Tao is bribing the Kitchen God," Lin Ye explained. "Yan Wangye is also considered the Kitchen God. Fire is needed for meals and funerals. Hu Tao is thanking the Kitchen God for his care throughout the year."

Zhongli said, "Master Hu is thoughtful."

Lady Yuzi nodded and tried the first dumpling, which was stuffed with leeks and meat. She picked it up with chopsticks, blew on it, and ate it in small bites.

The biggest difference between leek eggs and leek meat is that the latter contains animal oil, which makes it more fragrant.

Lady Yuzi ate a few of them. They were delicious, but that was all.

She observed the others. Yan'er was eating voraciously, Yuxi was being gentle, Sister Baizhi was discussing work with Yoko, and the big boss, the second boss, and Shen He were chatting about the past, which was before Lord Yuzi joined the Wangsheng Hall.

"Oh, by the way, we also need to set off firecrackers." Hu Tao remembered something.

"Master Tamako, do you want to release it?"

No.

Lady Tamako watched as Kurumi used a stick to string together a string of firecrackers, which made a crackling and noisy sound.

Cats have sensitive ears, and Lady Tamako hid to the side. Just as she was about to cover her ears, she heard a tiny meow.

I lowered my head and saw a skinny and dirty little black cat, probably a stray cat that sneaked in.

"Meow~"

"..."

You must be hungry.

While no one was paying attention, Master Yuzi put the remaining dumplings in a bowl, squatted down, and handed it to the little black cat.

The little black cat buried his head in eating.

Lady Yuzi reached out and stroked the little black cat. She didn't mind the dirtiness of her own kind.

Looking at the little black cat, Lady Yuzi thought back to the days before, the Liyue Harbor that Yoko left, the Lantern Festival, or every day, when he was competing for food with stray cats, all alone, without a home.

As for dumplings, what are they?

When Lady Yuzi thought of this, she turned her head to look at the bustling crowd, and everyone had a company.

Yoko noticed Tamako-sama in the corner, walked over, saw the little black cat, squatted down and petted it.
