"Teach you to cook?" the chef scratched his nape at your sudden request.

First thing you did once you woke up in the morning was rushing down the stairs that led to the inn's kitchen.

Obviously, Mr. Yanxiao never likes it when someone else steps inside his kitchen so he wasn't too pleased with your sudden visit, but after looking at your hopeful expression he couldn't help but make some exceptions.

You nodded excitedly, "I want to try and make almond tofu for a new friend of mine."

Mr. Yanxiao thought about it as he crossed his arms, "Well, you're lucky the inn isn't as busy as usual. So I guess I can help you."

You cheered while jumping around with a closed eye smile. The scene made him sweat dropped, just how much energy does this child have?

The chef cleared his throat as he then closed his eyes, blocking out your cheers while trying to remember the ingredients they would be needing to make an almond tofu. Not long later, he opened his eyes once more before going to a certain shelf where he store various produce.

You stopped and silently trailed behind him, watching curiously with huge eyes as he took what's needed.

"Uh.." he halted while staring at the barely filled glass jar he was holding.

You looked at him worriedly, "What's wrong, Mr. Yanxiao?"

"I don't think we have enough sugar."

"Oh.."

Mr. Yanxiao noticed your crestfallen look and frowned before putting the jar back to its place as he then tried to reassure you, "Not to worry, we can always get more from the market."

Your eyes brightened in realization, "Oh yeah, you're right!"

"However," he started as you stiffened once more, preparing for the worst while staring at him, "It's still work hour so I must stand by in the kitchen incase I'm needed. Is it possible if you go to Liyue harbor yourself?"

As if on cue, a guest who stayed in the inn came by and ordered some food before leaving once more.

"See?" Mr. Yanxiao gestured.

Your posture relaxed and sighed in relief.

"That would be no problem, you can count on me!" you nodded as you pointed to yourself proudly.

Mr. Yanxiao gave a satisfied hum upon your reply as he then reached for a small tin can that was just sitting on the top shelf.

You tilted your head as you noticed the small clinks it made upon every movement.
