Chapter 144 This is part of the plan
Over the next few days, the work schedule of a certain representative of the Sulun school of thought can be summarized as follows:
A pleasant cohabitation life with the Grass God.
On the other hand, the thirty-person mercenary team that carried various furniture and food items into the Jing Shan Palace dozens of times might not have had such a pleasant experience.
What? You're asking why we're moving all this?
Mu Feng, leisurely roasting date and coconut honey at the newly installed stove in Jing Shan Palace, will give you a mysterious smile and tell you seriously:
Friend, this is part of the plan.
Even the usually suspicious Great Sage Azar had no doubts about this; he simply waved his hand casually, signaling the mercenaries to fulfill all of the other party's demands.
Putting aside the trust I place in you, a genius like you has some unique interests and hobbies, and it's understandable that you occasionally enjoy a superior quality of life outside of experiments.
As for whether these items were purchased for the imprisoned deity in the Pure Land Palace? The Great Sage said, "Don't be ridiculous."
Not to mention that he had already secretly investigated the situation of the Pure Goodness Palace, even if he saw that guy walking openly down the street with the Grass God one day, Azar could explain it as a study aimed at researching the behavior of gods.
In terms of that detailed plan to create a god, his student was even more "godless" than he was.
It's just a minor requirement for quality of life, nothing serious at all.
Hazard feels at ease having a reliable student.
……
On the other side, at Jingshan Palace.
"Aqiu!"
Mu Feng, who was patiently instructing Naxida on how to roast dates and coconut honey, suddenly sneezed, wondering to himself which guy was talking badly about him behind his back.
Could it be that Kavi was cheated out of his project payment and is now badmouthing him to Little Nilu?
Hmph, since that's the case, then don't blame him for withholding the project payment for several more months before paying it out.
"Amu, what's next?"
Naxida, carrying a baking pan, looked up, eagerly eyeing the fine sugar, a few dates, and a small bowl of nuts on the table. Her free little hand tugged at Mufeng's clothes.
In just a few days, the little goddess broke many "firsts" in five hundred years, such as swinging on a real swing for the first time, building her toy box by hand for the first time, and...
This was the first time I cooked her favorite date and coconut honey.
Trying new things feels novel and is very attractive to the god of wisdom. To use a somewhat inappropriate analogy, it's like a kitten being unconsciously attracted to catnip.
"Okay, now let's make the syrup."
Coming to his senses, Mu Feng gently supported Naxida's small shoulders and considerately patted a bag of sugar on the table, indicating that she should pour the sugar into the already heated baking pan.
However, when Nasita carried the large bag of sugar close to the baking pan, the deity seemed to encounter a little trouble.
"Amu, how much should we pour?"
Nasita tilted her head, her fair index finger resting on her chin, revealing an adorable look of confusion.
Of course, the answer to how much sugar to add could be easily found by consulting the World Tree, but she still preferred to hear Amu's opinion.
This is a memory that Nasita wanted to leave behind with her first sage.
Mu Feng rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a moment, trying hard to recall the detailed steps he had taken to make date and coconut honey at home, but he still came to the same conclusion.
That's a good question, but isn't it just a matter of pouring in whatever amount you want?
Of course, such perfunctory treatment of the gods is not the style of a sage. Mu Feng, who is well-versed in the essence of Liyue's traditional culinary arts, has another, more serious answer:
"The right amount."
Nasita blinked her beautiful four-leaf clover eyes, paused in her little hands holding the candy bag, and seriously considered how to measure the appropriate amount.
Hmm... it's knowledge that wasn't recorded.
On the other side, the instigator silently suppressed the smile on his lips. "Appropriate amount" could be interpreted as the right amount, or the amount that makes the date and coconut honey taste good. In layman's terms, it means adding salt if there's too much soup, and adding water if there's too little soup.
The culture of Liyue is truly profound and extensive.
As for how the dear deity eventually realized the little word game and gave the sage a good beating with his fists, that's another story.
……
Half an hour later.
Although I still didn't quite understand what "appropriate amount" meant, the God of Wisdom's special date and honey candy was successfully served at lunch.
Perhaps, it can actually be called Little Nasita's exclusive dish – Hawammaz.
Delicate four-leaf clover-shaped candies lay quietly in the center of a porcelain plate, their green date jam and white milk intertwined to form exquisite patterns, exuding an enticing sweet aroma.
"Amu, open your mouth."
Naxida smiled and held a freshly baked date and honey candy to Mufeng's lips, then propped her cute face up and stared intently at his reaction.
This is the "wisdom" she wove herself, a gift to her first sage.
Just as sea anemones help and witness the growth of fish, it is only natural for fish to give small gifts in return.
However, I've heard that there are similar candies in the Winter Solstice Kingdom. I wonder which one tastes better?
If you have the chance, go try it, with Amu.
After all, they still have a very, very long time to go.
On the other side, Mu Feng, who was holding the sweet and soft Nasita in his arms and enjoying being personally fed by the god, had long since cleanly and neatly abandoned Azar's job in the Old Sea.
Creating a god? What kind of god?
How can a cold, lifeless mecha compare to Nasita's cuteness?
However, once the few remaining candies were gone, a brand new problem soon presented itself to the little god and her sage.
They seemed to have forgotten to make lunch while they were busy roasting dates and coconut syrup.
"Don't worry, Nasita."
Seeing Nasita puff out her little face in annoyance, Mu Feng smiled and held up a communicator, mysteriously whispering in Nasita's small elf ear:
"We can have a 'takeout' meal today."
"Let me think... How about Mr. Judt's Round Tower? Or the Patty Salan Pudding at Pusper Cafe?"
……
Sumeru City, the camp of a group of thirty.
At lunchtime, most of the mercenaries were enjoying their sumptuous meals, while a few idle mercenaries even planned to head to the Lambad Tavern for a few drinks.
However, there are always a few unlucky mercenary friends who are exceptions.
"Ding~ Your delivery app has received a new order! Please process it as soon as possible."
Having just received a substantial reward to send his mercenary team to a tavern in Lambad for a good meal, he stopped in his tracks upon hearing this, revealing a resentful expression.
Your personal butler mercenary squad is very unhappy to serve you.
