Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

"Okay, Master Chiye, please wait a moment. Here's a serving of fried slime with Jueyun pepper!" Xiangling said loudly.

"Stir-fried slime with Jueyun pepper? What kind of magical dish is this? Can slime be eaten?" Kailin turned around and asked.

"Oh, this is the signature dish of Xiangling's family. How about it? Would you like to try it too?" said Chi Ye.

"Uh, that's not necessary." Karen resisted.

Slime, a lesser monster in the game. In Supreme Teyvat, there are many different types of slimes, so they are known as elemental life. However, their slimy appearance makes it difficult to imagine what they would look like as food.

"It's okay. Every diner who comes here will have some resistance to slime at first, but when you try it yourself, you will find that the taste is very different." At this time, a middle-aged man came out from the kitchen.

He was a burly man, wearing a long chef's apron, stained with grease and cooking marks, a testament to years of busy work in the kitchen. His hair was a little sparse, but neatly combed, and his eyes revealed calmness and confidence.

"Who are you?" asked Kailin.

"This is Master Mao, Xiangling's father, and also the first head of Wanmingtang." Chi Ye introduced to everyone.

Master Mao nodded and said, "Thanks to Lord Akano's care, my father and I are honored." After saying that, he looked at Kailin again.

"Miss, I know everyone has different opinions about slime, but after trying it yourself, you will feel differently."

"Try it yourself?" Kailin was puzzled and resisted. "Sorry, I don't really understand..."

"It's okay. Please sit down first, and then listen to me slowly."

After hearing this, everyone had no choice but to follow suit and sit with Akano near the window. Then, Master Mao began to introduce various ways to make slime to everyone one by one.

"Everyone, don't be anxious. Let me explain slowly. Everyone knows that slimes are elemental creatures, so different slimes contain different flavors."

"Like a fire slime, it has a fiery temperament, and its flavor is hot and spicy, making it suitable for stir-frying. Its dishes are very popular with diners with strong flavors like Master Akano."

"Thunder Slime is rich in ions, and its taste becomes numb and tingling under the surge of electricity. After stewing, your taste buds will jump and create a unique taste."

"Slimes feed on minerals, so they store a rich supply of salt in their bodies. To this day, some of the table salt is refined from slimes."

"Grass slimes feed on clean grass, which includes herbs and teas. The herbal tea brewed from it has a green and astringent taste and is very popular among the elderly."

"Because water slimes grow near rivers, their bodies are mostly mucus, so they are suitable for mixing with ice slimes in a cold dish. This way, they retain moisture while reducing the stickiness, giving them a refreshing and pleasant taste. It's a must-have for cooling off in the summer."

"Besides that, there are also wind slimes, blood slimes, and poison slimes..."

Master Mao talked a lot, and everyone seemed to be listening with great interest, but in reality, when they thought about the sticky feeling of slime, they felt repulsive and couldn't bear to imagine it. Master Mao had no choice but to give up.

"I didn't expect that there are so many varieties made from slime alone." Tianlang smiled with his arms folded.

"Okay, what do you think? Do you want to try it?" Master Mao asked.

Tianlang lowered his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Well, it's still night time, so it's not suitable to eat too much or too cold. How about this, I'll try the Thunder Slime stew."

"Okay, one serving of Thunder Slime Mushroom Soup!" Master Mao said loudly, then turned his gaze to Mo Yan and the other three. "Well, everyone, have you decided what to order?"

"Um..." Mo Yan replied after a moment of silence, "As for the slime, it's still a bit... But since you can use rock slime to make salt, then I'll have some fried rice."

"Oh? Fried rice with slime salt? Well, some things need to be accepted slowly. We who run a restaurant cannot force our customers to try unknown flavors. What about the other customers?" Master Mao turned to look at Kailin, Zhao Heng and Zixuan and asked.

"Then... the same for us?" Kailin looked at Zixuan.

"Well, let's have some ordinary fried rice." Zixuan nodded.

Zhao Heng: "Ditto."

"No problem, 4 servings of fried rice!" he shouted and then walked towards the kitchen.

At this time, Xiangling also came to Chiye with steaming hot food.

She set down the plate, which emanated an alluring sheen. The fire slime chunks took on a unique orange-red hue, as if still carrying the fiery aura of their wild existence. Each piece had a slightly crispy surface, a mark of stir-frying, as if kissed by flames.

The emerald green of the Jueyun peppers punctuates the dish, and the pepper segments, fried to a glossy sheen, interspersed with the fire slimes, create a vibrant painting. Tiny chili seeds are scattered among the mixture, like carelessly spilled dots of paint. The entire dish is incredibly appetizing, its spicy aroma conveyed visually.

Of course, Akano was the only one who thought so. The pungent smell rushed into his nostrils, coupled with the sticky texture of the slime, it felt like the color of hell.

"Then I'll start!" Akano said impatiently.

He looked at the fried slime with Jueyun peppers on the plate, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. He took a deep breath, trying to ignore the pungent smell, then carefully picked up a piece and put it into his mouth, chewing slowly.

At first, the sticky texture made him frown slightly, but as he chewed more, the unique heat and spicy taste of the fire slime began to spread in his mouth. The aroma of the Jueyun pepper also followed, blending with the taste of the fire slime to form a unique and wonderful taste.

An expression of satisfaction gradually appeared on Akano's face. He closed his eyes and enjoyed this unique delicacy.

"Yeah, that's the taste. The spiciness of the Jueyun pepper, combined with the unique burning sensation of the fire slime, is simply delightful. Xiangling, your cooking skills have improved again!" Chi Ye turned and smiled at Xiangling, then picked up the spoon and started showing off on the plate.

Looking at the situation at this moment, everyone just wanted to keep their distance. At this moment, Chef Mao also came in front of everyone with the cooked dishes.

"Everyone, you have what you want!"

"Ah, so soon? I'm not mentally prepared yet." Karen was stunned.

In front of me was a bowl of clear soup and four bowls of ordinary fried rice.

The fried rice was alright, similar to what I ate in my previous world. But the mushroom soup was different.

The Thunder Slime Mushroom Soup was served in a delicate bowl. The soup was a light milky yellow, as if stained by the ions in the Thunder Slime's body.

In the broth, the pieces of Lightning Slime flesh loomed like translucent clouds. Their edges curled slightly, as if they had stretched themselves during the stewing process. Occasionally, tiny flashes of electricity could be seen flickering around the pieces of flesh, like stars in the night sky falling into the broth.

The mushrooms are plump and thick, with brown caps and white stems. They absorb the flavor of the thunder slime and the soup, exuding a rich aroma, floating on the soup like a few small boats on the lake.
