Genshin Impact: Wherever you go, all wear and tear will be eliminated
Chapter 12 The assessment begins
On the sofa, Amber was "looking" at Eula with her eyes, holding her chin with her hand, and said slowly: "Eula, when did you two get... no, together?"
"Just...just a while ago, he confessed to me." Eula put her hands on her legs, her eyes flickering and turning back and forth.
"Oh, so that's how it is. So because Mo Ran saved you once, you agreed. Hmm... What a dreamlike experience!"
"What? How can this be called a dream? Besides, you saved me twice."
"Yes, yes, hehe, Eula has someone she likes, how does it feel?" Amber looked like a curious baby.
"What...what else can it be? Just like that!" Eula's pretty face turned slightly red. Facing the questioning from her childhood friend, she was still a little shy.
"Tell me, Eula, is it the same as what is written in the novel?"
"Well...when I'm with Mo Ran, I feel very happy and relaxed. After a tiring day, cooking, eating, and telling interesting stories with him, it feels as if all the tiredness is gone."
As Youla spoke, a look of satisfaction appeared on her face, as if Mo Ran was right beside her.
Amber was a little dumbfounded. "Is this still the Eula who always talks about holding grudges? It seems that love can really change a person."
"By the way, Eula, where are you guys going? I haven't been home these past few days. I wonder if you've been..."
Before Amber could finish her next words, she was interrupted by Youla: "What are you thinking! Mo Ran is not that kind of person! We have been resting in different rooms these days. Humph, I will remember this grudge!"
Amber couldn't help laughing when she saw Eula's expression. "Hahaha... Eula, you're so cute like this."
"You still say that, I will remember this grudge too!" Eula pounced on Amber and tickled her.
"Haa...haha...Eula, don't...don't..." Amber panted, her face turned red, and her body trembled slightly because of the itch.
"Let you make fun of me, huh!" Eula looked at Amber lying on the ground like a boneless animal, stopped what she was doing, and turned around to rest.
Amber suddenly hugged her from behind, and grabbed the itchy spots on Eula's waist with both hands. Her flexible fingers scratched and rubbed her. The feeling of body rejection and discomfort hit Eula's mind directly.
"Ha...ah...Amber, let me go." Eula lost her balance and leaned forward to the ground.
"You tickled me for so long just now, it's no use begging for mercy now!" Amber said, speeding up her movements.
"Haha... Damn it... Haha... I'll remember this grudge!"
………………
After resting for a night in the hotel, Mo Ran felt that Eula's bed was not as comfortable, so he got up and went to the hotel lobby to eat something.
Mo Ran began to think about his plans for the next few days. "I have already reviewed all the content that might be tested in the knight assessment. Eula also has a mission next. The assessment will be in four days. For safety reasons, it is better not to leave the city."
"How about finding some recipes and practicing your cooking skills? And the matter of your physical condition must not be exposed to anyone except Eula and a few people you can trust. It seems like I have to find a place to buy a replica glass ball."
"Well... let's go to the library first to see if there are any recipes." After all, although his cooking skills are edible, they are just edible.
Having made up his mind, Mo Ran walked to the library of the Knights Templar, carrying the books he borrowed yesterday.
"Lisa...Miss Lisa, all the books you borrowed yesterday are here." Mo Ran put the book on Lisa's desk.
"Not bad, not bad. If everyone else was like you, I wouldn't have to be so busy every day." Lisa looked at the title of the book and crossed out the borrowed books behind Mo Ran's name.
"Yes, Miss Lisa, you take a nap in the morning, have afternoon tea in the afternoon, and have a midnight snack or go to the pub at night. You are such a busy person!"
Because Mo Ran has been coming to the library to borrow books in the past few days, he has a basically clear understanding of Lisa's daily routine.
"Haha, you little rascal, I won't bother with you this time. Tell me what book you want to pick up today and I'll get it for you."
"Is there a book that teaches cooking techniques and heat control?" Mo Ran asked.
Lisa blinked and said jokingly, "You really know how to give your sister problems! Um... where did I put the cooking book?"
After waiting for a while, Lisa finally came over with two old thick books.
"Take it. Remember to return it when you have learned it." Lisa sat back in her seat and wrote down the borrowing record of the two books for Mo Ran.
"Thank you, Miss Lisa. I'm leaving first." Mo Ran returned to the hotel with the book, and then spent four thousand Mora to rent a private kitchen for a few days, which provided all the ingredients and seasonings.
Opening the book "All Cooking Techniques of Teyvat", "The cooking techniques for golden shrimp balls and lotus crisps are..."
Afterwards, Mo Ran took a look at the "Complete Guide to Cooking with Heat" and when he felt he was capable of doing it, he started making his first dish - lotus crisps.
Prepare the required almonds, flour, butter and sugar. First peel the almonds and grind them into powder. Then add some water and knead them into small balls. Then fry them in a boiling oil pan.
In this step, Mo Ran either failed to fry the almond balls or failed to control the oil temperature correctly. It took him several tries before he could fry them successfully.
Put the freshly fried and steaming almond balls aside to cool, then Mo Ran added water and appropriate amount of sugar to the prepared flour and started kneading the dough.
After the dough is kneaded, let it rise for a while and rest before starting to work. Roll the kneaded dough into small balls and flatten them with a rolling pin. Then roll them up and roll them flat again, and then roll them again.
Repeat this three times. The dough is ready. Wrap the cooled almond balls in it and cut three crisscross cuts on the top of the dough that are large enough to see the filling.
Next, heat oil in a pan. When the oil is so hot that smoke can be felt when your hand touches it, put the lotus cakes into the pan. They will instantly bloom like golden lotus flowers, and the fragrance will spread for miles.
Of course, this was the result of Mo Ran's accumulation of more than a dozen failed dishes, some of which were chipped in the corners, some stuck to the bottom of the pot, some had the filling falling off, etc.
Fry until the skin is crispy and the layers are distinct, then take out the lotus crisps and filter out the excess oil. Take a bite and you will find the crispy skin and almond filling are full of fragrance. The slightly sweet taste and almond aroma linger in your mouth, leaving you with an endless aftertaste.
Glancing out the window at the sun at noon, Mo Ran ate up the dozen or so plates of failed lotus cakes that he had fried. Although they didn't look good, they actually tasted pretty good.
After resting for a while, Mo Ran started preparing the golden shrimp balls.
Compared to lotus crisps, golden shrimp balls require more knife skills because there are no graters in Teyvat.
Peel the potatoes, wash them, cut them into thin strips, put them into hot oil and fry them until they float. Remove them from the pan, drain the oil, and fry them again until the surface is golden brown. Set them aside.
Next, prepare the shrimps, remove the heads and shrimp threads of the large shrimps, dip them in the prepared flour water, put them in a pan with oil, and fry them until golden brown.
Coat it with a thin layer of butter to help coat the potato shreds, and finally complete the dish. The delicious golden and crispy shrimp balls are freshly baked.
Take a small bite and you will find the crispy potato shreds and shrimps are very fragrant. No wonder so many people like this dish. After all, apart from cutting the potato shreds, the dish of golden shrimp balls is quite simple.
Looking at the time, it was three o'clock in the afternoon. Mo Ran returned to the hotel, washed off the smell of cooking smoke on his body, and changed into another set of simple clothes that the Knights had bought for him a few days ago.
After all, it is normal to get some reimbursement compensation for completing such an important task, and then put on a hat and pull the brim down very low.
Then Mo Ran went out and strolled back and forth in the commercial street of Mond City, looking for things he wanted to buy.
"Freshly picked fruit, 300 Mora per pound, 1,000 Mora for 3 pounds."
"How much do you sell this book for? How much Mora?"
"All kinds of exotic flowers, come and see!"
Amid the hawkers' cries, Mo Ran finally found his target, a merchant from Fontaine.
Mo Ran walked over, picked up something and looked at it, then put it down as the merchant introduced it and looked at the glass ball "Eye of God" on the stall.
"Sir, do you want to buy the imitation God's Eye? This batch of goods is the latest research of our Fontaine. It is resistant to falling and scratching, and can be used as a lighting at night."
Mo Ran picked up a rock-type imitation god's eye, lowered his voice, and said, "It sounds good. I'll buy one to play with at home. How much is Mora?"
"Hey, I just arrived here not long ago, and I want to check out the market. It's only 15,600 Mora, you won't lose anything, you won't be cheated, it's a good deal."
"Twelve thousand, I'll buy it." Mo Ran bargained appropriately. Although he still had a lot of Mora on him, he tried to save as much as possible.
"Please give me some face, 13,500. I'm just running a small business."
"Thirteen thousand. I'll pay for it. Next time, if I want to buy something, I'll come to you first. I have some connections in Mond. Boss, you just arrived in Mond, wouldn't you consider it?"
The Fontaine merchant paused for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, thank you for your patronage!"
Mo Ran paid the bill, hung the Imitation God's Eye on his waistband, and left the commercial street.
In the next few days, he either learned how to cook or just wandered around and wasted time.
After much anticipation, the knight examination is finally here.
Early in the morning, Mo Ran got up, washed, had breakfast and went straight to the Knights Templar. Many people were already on this road.
Soon, there were at least several hundred people standing outside the Knights, all waiting for the assessment to begin. Some were nervous, some were worried, and some were optimistic and felt relaxed.
After a while of waiting, the gate of the Knights' Order opened, and several captains of the teams followed behind Jean, slowly walking towards the crowd...
