Chapter 283 - Chapter 283: I can't tell the difference between the tri-color dumplings and the phoenix crown

Facing this death trap question, Makoto believed that as long as his mindset didn't falter, there would always be more solutions than problems.

He ate the breakfasts given to him by both of them at the same time; besides the slightly strange taste, there weren't many problems.

However, after being able to eat the desserts made by Ei, Makoto was now immune to all poisons.

After breakfast, the three of them left the Liuli Pavilion, preparing to take a walk to aid digestion.

As they walked, Raiden Ei suddenly stopped.

She turned her head to look at Makoto beside her and slowly said, "Makoto, I want to eat tricolor dango."

Looking at Raiden Ei's expectant face, Makoto couldn't find any reason to refuse.

Who could refuse a country Country bumpkin staring at you with eager eyes?

But the current problem was that tricolor dango was not sold in Liyue.

"Ei, do you want to consider a different type of dessert?"

"Because currently, tricolor dango is not sold in Liyue."

To make tricolor dango, the ingredients needed are fresh Milk, Snapdragon, rice, and sakura bloom.

The first three are easy to gather; the real difficulty lies in sakura bloom.

Because sakura bloom cannot be stored for long, it will Decay in at most one day.

And if sakura bloom is transported from Inazuma to Liyue, by the time it reaches its destination, the sakura bloom will no longer be fresh.

Using such sakura bloom to make tricolor dango would naturally greatly reduce its taste.

This was also the main reason why no one made tricolor dango in Liyue.

Of course,

if Raiden Ei truly wanted it, Makoto would do his best to provide it.

He would go look for a shop selling sakura bloom later; making tricolor dango himself after buying it was also an option.

Hearing Makoto's reply, Raiden Ei was clearly unwilling to accept it.

"But I saw a shop selling tricolor dango."

Huh?

When did someone start selling tricolor dango in Liyue?

How did he not know?

Makoto looked in the direction Raiden Ei was pointing, and his gaze fell on the Heyu Teahouse on the second floor.

In front of the teahouse, there was a phoenix coronet displayed, and the color of the embroidered ball on it was very similar to tricolor dango.

Seeing this, Makoto finally understood.

The silly Country bumpkin had mistaken the phoenix coronet for tricolor dango.

"Ei, you misunderstood,"

"That is not tricolor dango, but a type of phoenix coronet headwear, generally used for opera performances."

Raiden Ei:...

She wanted to eat tricolor dango so badly that she mistook a phoenix coronet for tricolor dango.

She had made a huge fool of herself in front of Makoto...

Just thinking about it made her feel embarrassed...

As she thought this, Raiden Ei's pretty face became even redder, and she dared not look directly into Makoto's eyes.

Makoto also noticed Raiden Ei's embarrassment and immediately changed the subject without a trace.

"Ei, you probably haven't learned about liyue opera, have you?"

This homebody Country bumpkin didn't even fully understand the situation in Inazuma City, so she probably knew very little about Liyue.

Raiden Ei was silent for a moment, then replied truthfully: "To be honest, I only knew about the existence of liyue opera today."

"Makoto, what is liyue opera? Is it related to tricolor dango?"

Looking at the confused Raiden Ei, Makoto couldn't help but laugh.

Ei was constantly thinking about tricolor dango; she was definitely a foodie.

They say the decisive and awe-inspiring one is the Raiden Shogun,

while the homebody Raiden Ei is full of thoughts about sweets and light novel.

In response, Makoto slowly explained: "Ei, liyue opera has little connection to tricolor dango."

"It is an art passed down from generation to generation by the people of Liyue, with a long history and rich heritage."

"liyue opera has undergone several changes over time, retaining its vocal music and melodies, while discarding some cumbersome content."

"Opera troupes arrange moving stories into plays, and then artists sing them in unique tones..."

Considering that the Raiden sisters had always lived in Inazuma, they definitely hadn't heard of liyue opera.

So Makoto was very thorough in his explanation.

Of course, merely explaining wasn't very meaningful; it would be better to take them to watch a play.

Makoto looked at the Raiden sisters in front of him, then extended an invitation: "Makoto, Ei, should we go to the Yun Han Opera Troupe to listen to liyue opera?"

Facing Makoto's suggestion, both Raiden Shoguns agreed in unison.

Raiden Makoto had once read about liyue opera in books,

but that was only a partial understanding; listening to a play would provide much more insight.

In addition, after hearing Makoto's explanation, Raiden Makoto yearned for liyue opera.

liyue opera must have something extraordinary to be passed down through generations.

As for Raiden Ei, she was very curious about how the liyue opera singing style worked.

Also, she was concerned: was liyue opera really unrelated to tricolor dango?

That phoenix coronet really looked like tricolor dango.

She wanted to eat it.

While Ei was deep in thought, Makoto had already led them to the Heyu Teahouse, where they could listen to the opera.

This place housed Liyue's best opera troupe, the Yun Han Opera Troupe.

"Hello, three older brothers and sisters."

"Are you here to listen to the opera?"

Just then, a tender child's voice came from inside the teahouse.

Makoto looked in the direction of the voice, and his gaze met the child's.

The Little One was fair-skinned and clean, with a bit of baby fat on her cheeks.

Her large eyes were clean and clear, bright and spirited.

She would occasionally babble, as if practicing opera.

Makoto recognized her at a glance; the girl in front of him was Little Yunjin.
