"I'll keep them! All three of them need to be raised first. When not fighting, they can also guard the fields.
Not bad, Alex nodded in satisfaction, then put the three Whopperflowers back into the field, letting them move freely.
The three Whopperflowers walked a bit to the side, and the next moment, all three transformed into sweet flowers, disguised.
"Let's go back!" Alex said, walking home. He passed a basket of lemons that he had specifically left, picked it up, and carried it back to the house.
He actually picked up such a large basket of lemons effortlessly. It seems his strength and stamina have improved since coming here!
It was also an experience of a farmer's hardship. Otherwise, if he just planted anything without care, he could easily harvest it with the Hydro element and put the fruits directly into his backpack without carrying them. Alex felt that this way, there was no real sense of farming.
But one experience was enough.
Furina and Clorinde also followed Alex back into his house, sitting close together opposite him.
Furina looked at the lemons placed in the center, couldn't help but pick one up, looked at it, peeled it, and popped it into her mouth.
Furina was completely deceived by the alluring scent of the lemon, completely forgetting that Alex had said earlier that lemons were sour.
At the first bite, Furina's expression was gentle. At the second bite, Furina's mouth suddenly paused. After slowly taking a third bite, Furina instantly stuck out her tongue and spat out the lemon in her mouth: "Blech!"
Furina: >o<
The next moment, Furina directly grabbed Clorinde's shoulders with both hands, buried her face in her chest, and stopped moving.
"Uh, lemons are too sour to eat directly. Although I also couldn't resist the scent and ate a few bites just now," Alex said awkwardly, looking at Furina's back.
From Clorinde's chest came Furina's muffled voice: "Too~, sour~~, ah~~~"
It took a long time for Furina to recover. She looked at Alex with a face full of anger, complaining, "How can there be such a sour fruit! How do you eat this! How could you possibly make delicious lemonade or lemon tea?"
As she spoke, Furina couldn't help but wipe the corners of her mouth, so sour that she was drooling.
"Oh, you wait, I'll make it for you right now, it'll be super delicious!"
Alex said, then quickly ran into the kitchen in the back room to get a knife. He had forgotten to put it in his backpack.
Then, from his backpack, he took out the purchased Fontaine maple syrup, ice cubes, common black tea, green tea, and some expensive tea leaves said to be from Liyue's Chenyu Vale.
Alex took out many disposable tea cups.
There were medium, large, and extra-large cups.
Haha, Alex chuckled. There were no small cups! The one in the middle was the large one!
Alex, the prankster, wanted to see if anyone in Teyvat would do a classic rerun.
Let's brew all the teas first... Alex took out several electric mechanical steamers and started brewing!
They said that each pot contained a large tourmaline, and one tourmaline could be used continuously for a week. After it was used up, it could be recharged with their special charger and then reused, which was very convenient.
"Ah, you're just putting all these teas directly into a large pot to boil!" Furina's eyes widened slightly, a little surprised.
Furina then looked at Clorinde next to her: "Clorinde, show Alex the correct way to brew black tea!"
Clorinde nodded, silently conjured her tools, and began to elegantly brew black tea.
After more than ten minutes, Clorinde had brewed a pot of black tea.
She poured a small cup of black tea for each of the three.
Furina gently picked up the saucer with her left hand, lightly pinched the teacup with two fingers of her right hand, gently blew on the hot tea a few times, and took several sips of the black tea.
"Mmm~" Furina narrowed her eyes and praised Clorinde, "Clorinde, your black tea is still so good."
Alex looked at the black tea in front of him, and then at the several pots still operating.
Alex planned to boil each tea for a bit longer, at least half an hour.
Just right, with this ready-made black tea, Alex directly picked up the teacup, threw away the lid, and poured it into the medium cup.
Then he added two pieces of maple syrup, took a knife and sliced three pieces of lemon, and summoned little Chiori.
Ah, Clorinde was here, so Alex decided to switch things up. Little Chiori transformed, and the next moment, a tiny Clorinde appeared.
Before, when fighting the Hydro Tulpa, his Combat Skill was completely useless.
The character mimicry of the Combat Skill could be updated in real-time.
"Wow, little Clorinde is so cute too." Furina said, directly reaching out and hugging little Clorinde in her arms.
She didn't know little Chiori before and didn't want to hug it. But now, little Clorinde was so, so cute, hug, hug, hug!
Indeed, Alex also really liked this tiny Clorinde.
"Mua~~~" This time, Furina even used her mouth, kissing tiny Clorinde.
The next moment, little Clorinde was snatched away from Furina's hands by Clorinde!
Even the aloof Clorinde couldn't help but feel shy. This Lady Furina actually kissed "herself" without any hesitation... Clorinde turned little Clorinde around so it faced her, lifted it slightly, and squeezed it with both hands. Mmm, it had the elastic, tensile texture of water.
Clorinde played with her "doll" that looked like her, and her lips unconsciously curved into a slight smile.
Clorinde had never really felt anything for dolls before, but now, she instantly loved this small doll that looked like her.
"Oh, you can hold it, but let me use it. I still need to use it to spray cost-free water," said the ruthless capitalist Alex, then he controlled his Combat Skill summon, little Clorinde.
Cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck. Little Clorinde in Clorinde's hand turned an angle with each cluck. After seven turns, little Clorinde had flipped over. Its front was now facing Alex.
Then, under the gaze of Furina and Clorinde, little Clorinde opened its mouth wide, and the next moment, an arm-thick jet of water sprayed into the medium cup in Alex's hand.
"Good!" Alex exclaimed, and the medium cup was filled to 80% with water. Then Alex added five or six ice cubes.
He then took out the matching cup lid and put it on.
"Swish, swish, swish!" Alex started shaking it.
Then he took out a straw and inserted it into the middle.
Just like that, a cup of extremely low-cost lemon tea was completed.
Alex pushed the finished hand-shaken lemon tea towards Furina and Clorinde.
"Uh." "Mmm."
Furina and Clorinde looked at the tea in front of them, both hesitant and not daring to drink it directly, because they both saw it.
This was little Clorinde's "saliva"... "Aren't you going to try it? Then I..." Alex hadn't even finished speaking.
The lemon tea he had just made was quickly snatched by Clorinde's right hand and taken into her hand...
