Genshin Impact: Zhongli discovered that he was stealing tributes at the beginning

Wu Ye returned to the academy's kitchen and handed various ingredients to Yan Xiao.

"Uncle Yanxiao, thank you for your help in handling the ingredients first, and we will cook together when it gets dark."

"Haha, it's a small matter." Yan Xiao replied cheerfully.

"By the way, where are my grandfather and master? They told me this morning that they were coming to the academy to find you."

"Oh, they went fishing. They said they caught a few big fish and came back to eat at night. They will have more than enough every year."

"Hahaha, if I had known that, I wouldn't have bought the fish."

"That's hard to say. Your master Jiang Xue will come back empty-handed from time to time when he goes fishing. If you buy it, you will be prepared."

Wu Ye smiled and nodded, and then asked: "Uncle Yanxiao, do you like cooking for students here in the academy?"

"I like it! How could I not like it? This is much more comfortable than staying at Wangshu Inn. I basically cook a meal for the students at noon every day, instead of being busy from morning to night before, with back pain, and often burning my hands."

"The atmosphere in the academy is much better than that in the inn. Sometimes I want to recite poems while listening to the sound of reading, and I am very happy to cook for these students and children."

"Of course, the most important thing is that Wu Ye takes care of me, Uncle Yanxiao, so that I can do this job that pays a lot of money but has a lot of work. I can also chat with Jiang Xue and your grandfather when I have free time. I live a very comfortable life."

"Hahaha, there is nothing to take care of. In short, Uncle Yanxiao, as long as you like it. I have to go and do some work beforehand. I will come back when I am ready to cook." Wu Ye said with a smile.

"Okay, go ahead and get busy."

Wu Ye walked out of the academy and walked to his yard. As a result, before he even got close to the door, he heard the sound of music and singing, with rapid strings, sharp pipes, and clanging.

The loudest thing is the sound of walnut.

"Yo! Ta da da da, da da da da~"

"Da da da da, da da da da!"

Wu Ye walked into the yard and saw Hu Tao, Yun Jin and Xin Yan practicing singing performances together.

"Okay - come here first." Yun Jin called to stop.

"Wu Ye!" Hu Tao flew up to Wu Ye, then jumped up and put her hands around his neck, kissing his cheek.

"Haha, are you going to... practice rapping?"

"Hehe! You heard it just now, so why don't you listen to our rap performance? We will perform this on the Rainbow Tour tonight." Hutao laughed.

"Yes, Wu Ye was just an audience member to comment on how well we practiced. The main reason was that the time was too tight. From the time Hutao found me and Yun Jin to start rehearsing to the night of the performance, it took less than ten hours." Xin Yan said.

"And we are the first performer to open the show, so we can't make any mistakes!" Yun Jin added.

"The master of this hall is pouring ink, Xin Yan is at the helm, and Yun Jin is carving... We must make this opening performance the grandest prairie fire!"

"Okay, I'll listen carefully." Wu Ye sat on the chair.

......

"How was it?" Hu Tao asked first when the performance was over. Xin Yan and Yun Jin also looked at Wu Ye expectantly.

"Hmm... Okay, very good! Very energetic! It will definitely set the scene ablaze at night!" Wu Ye said seriously.

"Okay! Let me tell you, this hall master is sure to win if he takes action."

"Taobao, you are the only ones here, where are Keqing, Funina and the others?"

"They are also practicing their evening performance in the pot. The main reason is that we are a little noisy while practicing rapping, so they just go to the pot and don't disturb each other."

"Okay, I'll go in and see how they're practicing. You guys can rest for a while. I see you're a little tired."

Wu Ye summoned Tian Qing, a green light appeared, and his figure disappeared in it.

After a few minutes, Yun Jin stood up from the stool and clapped her hands: "You've almost rested, are you all starting from the beginning again?"

Hutao, who had just poured himself and Xin Yan a cup of hot tea, joked: "Mr. Yun is so strict that he doesn't even want to give us the time to drink tea."

"Hmph, who is so interested in helping? It will be dark by the time you finish drinking your tea."

"Why don't you wait until the show is over and I'll treat everyone to dinner - no! I'm going home for New Year's Eve dinner tonight." Xin Yan shook his head.

"It doesn't matter. Wu Ye told me that he would cook a lot of my favorite dishes for me in the evening."

"Stir-fried pork slices, crab roe tofu, tender pepper chicken, crystal shrimp, boiled black back bass..."

Yun Jin interrupted: "Hutao, stop talking! I'm starting to get greedy, especially knowing that Wu Ye's cooking skills are similar to Xiang Ling's."

Xin Yan nodded, "That's right, that's right, I still can't forget the taste of the meal we had in the yard."

Hu Tao gave a bad smile: "Oh, now that I have an appetite, I feel energetic. Let's hurry up and rehearse!"

......

"Well, why are you two standing there still? Didn't you say you want to practice singing?" Wu Ye walked towards Keqing and Funina, who looked confused.

"We don't know what to sing?"

"Yes."

"If it's Qing'er, I can understand. After all, you rarely go to performances, but Fubao..." Wu Ye hesitated.

"Oops! There are too many songs to sing, so I'm struggling to choose which song is suitable." Funina said distressedly.

"Then let's choose something a little more festive. We are celebrating the holidays anyway."

"There are some festive songs. I have sung a few in operas before, but...I am tired of singing these songs." Funina sighed.

Wu Ye shook his head and laughed: "Well, let's do this. I have a maple song here that I have heard before. I will write out the melody and lyrics and see if you like it?"

"Of course, there's also Qing'er for you. I also have a song here that should be suitable for you to sing."

"Really? Let me see!"

"it is good!"

......

When the ink darkened, the lantern towers in the streets and alleys had been set up. The lantern towers were tied to the colorful lantern towers on the long street that was several kilometers long. The lantern towers were several feet high. Thousands of lanterns shone brightly, as if the Milky Way was falling. The ground burns brightly.

People look down from the height of the lamp tower. There is a broad stage in the center of the bustling street, and a grand performance is about to begin here!

"I feel honored to be on the stage of Rainbow Tour!"

"Now, please enjoy the performance that Hutao and I bring to you!"

Xin Yan waved and shouted to the audience off the stage, and then Hutao jumped out behind her and began to greet the audience.

Many spectators under the stage and on the lamp tower began to applaud.

"Traveler, Yun Jin, look! Hutao Xinyan's performance is about to begin!"

"Yeah, let's go occupy the first row."

Sora, Pansy and Paimon squeezed into the crowd.

On the roof of the lamp building.

"Hey! Fortunately I'm not late!" A bard from Mondstadt winked at Zhongli.

"Haha, could it be that you drank all the wine in your own stash and came here?"

"No way! I obviously miss my old friend and came here to celebrate the festival with you. You have to entertain me with good wine and good food."

Zhongli shook his head, but still couldn't hold back his laughter.
