[Genshin Impact]: I can become stronger by cooking

Chao Ke returned to his room with soft steps.

Lying on the bed, Chao Ke recalled what happened tonight.

The five-year period agreed upon with Marcelle was a compromise Chao Ke made between his rationality and sensibility.

Chao Ke is betting whether he can gain the power to change the plot without fear in five years.

If the power is enough to be fearless, then that will be the day of Vash's death.

If the strength is insufficient, Chao Ke will not intervene and let the plot develop along the original route.

Of course, the main purpose of this trip was achieved.

Thanks to the generous President Marcelle, Chao Ke raised funds far beyond his expectations.

Chao Ke stroked the golden hard check worth 5 billion Mora in his hand. He was very familiar with its pattern.

Yes, this check is issued by Northland Bank.

This colored hard check style is a large-value bearer check specially created by Pantarone.

When it was first established, it was to attract criminals from the seven countries to go to the Northland Bank to launder their stolen money.

Hard checks like this one, which are golden in color, are specifically used for large bearer deposits of one billion Mora or more.

It is probably the headquarters of the Northland Bank, which doesn’t issue many every year.

He carefully put the check away and called up the system interface.

Today, the business of Jiaziwei Restaurant was extremely busy. It not only brought in nearly one million Mora in sales, but also provided Chao Ke with 89765 points of food spirit power.

Including the balance of the previous Food Spirit Power, the total amount of Food Spirit Power that Chao Ke possessed exceeded 100,000.

A total of 178710 points of spiritual power.

The advanced tasks for the chef level have also changed.

[Chef level: Primary chef]

[Advanced tasks:]

[1. Obtained a total of 10 points of Soul Food Power (completed/Note: Breakthrough requires points of Soul Food Power)]

[2. Obtain 50 recipes in total (15/50)]

[3. Cook 10 dishes cumulatively to reach the ultimate level (2/10)]

As expected, the requirements for the power of the food spirit have been met, and Chao Ke is one step closer to the next level of chef.

The next focus is to obtain recipes and master cooking techniques.

Chao Ke opened the system's [Food Atlas] and selected from the recipes he had obtained, intending to conquer another dish tonight.

After some selection, Chao Ke set his sights on the recipe [Rich Mashed Potatoes].

After a busy day, Chao Ke wanted to take a break and learn how to cook a relatively easier dish.

【Recipe: Spicy Mashed Potatoes】

[Description: Seasoned mashed potatoes. Mash the potatoes into a fine paste and pour the sauce over them. It has a smooth texture and rich taste. Whether it is a side dish or a staple food, it can easily satisfy a hungry stomach. ]

[Since the recipe has been obtained, you can enter the God of Cookery Trial Field to practice this dish]

[Do you want to start practicing? ]

【whether】

"Yes!"

The familiar feeling came over him again. First his eyes went dark, and when he opened them again, Chao Ke was already on the stage of the God of Cookery Trial Field.

Standing by the kitchen sink, the cart at hand is already filled with the ingredients and seasonings needed for cooking.

[Fragrant Mashed Potatoes] This recipe is a collaboration between O God and Kaifeng cuisine.

The food prototype is mashed potatoes in Kaifeng cuisine.

Unlike other dishes, the production process of fragrant mashed potatoes is extremely simple. It is basically divided into two steps: preparing mashed potatoes and boiling black pepper sauce.

Even in Kaifeng cuisine, some omissions are made in these two parts.

Mashed potatoes don't need to be made first, just use the powder to brew it. Black pepper sauce also doesn't need to be boiled fresh, and mature semi-finished products can be used directly.

Of course, this scene will obviously not happen in the God of Cooking Trial Field.

Everything provided by the system is the raw material, and all needs to be processed step by step by Ke Lai.

Take a few potatoes provided by the system from the cart and wash them in the sink.

Looking at the washed potatoes, Chao Ke frowned slightly. This variety of potato is a bit strange.

Not only is the skin red, but the shape is not as plump and round as ordinary potatoes. Instead, it is rather long and narrow.

To be honest, Chao Ke felt that this thing was more like a sweet potato than a potato.

The system seemed to know Chao Ke’s question and popped up an interface in front of Chao Ke.

[Red-skinned nut potatoes: a superior variety obtained by crossing the red-skinned potatoes produced in Nata with the Misa potatoes from Mond, with a high starch content and a strong potato flavor.]

"A hybrid?"

Since the system has given an explanation, Chao Ke no longer worries about the shape of the potato.

According to the recipe for [Fragrant Mashed Potatoes] provided by the system, do not peel or cut the washed potatoes, but directly put the whole potato into clean water to cook.

Not peeling the potatoes can prevent too much water from cooking into the potatoes.

The potatoes are not cut into pieces in order to retain more potato starch and reduce the loss of potato aroma.

Although you can peel the potatoes, cut them into pieces, and then steam them in a steamer, you can achieve a similar effect.

But after all, Chao Ke runs a restaurant, not his own kitchen, and needs to consider the efficiency of serving food.

A large cylindrical pot can cook more than a dozen potatoes at the same time, but if a steamer is used, the amount of potatoes that can be processed per unit time will be much less.

Put the washed potatoes into a pot with cold water, bring to a boil over high heat and then simmer over low heat. The purpose of this is to allow the potatoes to cook more evenly.

It takes at least twenty-five minutes to fully cook the potatoes. Chao Ke was not idle either. After setting the alarm, he took out the other ingredients, intending to use this time to prepare the black pepper sauce.

He took out a frying pan and set it aside. Chao Ke took out a can of black peppercorns and started grinding them.

I have to say that the aroma of freshly ground black pepper powder is much better than that of bagged black pepper powder.

Since the recipe did not clearly indicate the amount of seasoning to be used, Chao Ke had to grind the "right amount" of black pepper based on his own feeling.

Looking at the pile of black pepper on the pan, Chao Ke was a little confused. "This amount should be enough, right?"

Continue following the recipe, melting the "right amount" of butter in a pan and adding a little soy sauce for flavor and color.

When the sauce becomes too thick, add appropriate amount of water and sugar to dilute and enhance the flavor.

After waiting for the sauce in the pot to boil and bubble, add appropriate amount of oyster sauce and matsutake sauce to increase the flavor.

After stirring evenly, the pot of black pepper sauce is ready.

It's just that... the black pepper seems to be a bit too much...

You don’t even need to taste the smell; it’s irritating enough to look at Ke Guang standing next to you.

Chapter 35: Yes, My Master, the Kitchen Demon

Although it felt like the black pepper sauce was most likely a failure, Chao Ke decided to finish the dish in order to learn from his mistakes and gain experience.

“Ding! Ding!”

It was time to cook the potatoes, so Chao Ke opened the lid of the pot and took out a potato to check the situation.

Take out a chopstick and pierce the whole potato effortlessly with just a little force.

"It's done!"

After the degree of maturity was inspected and accepted, Chao Ke hurriedly took out the potatoes one by one, and then peeled the potato skin with a spoon while they were still hot.

Looking at the golden inner core of the potato, Chao Ke couldn't help but sigh that the quality of the raw materials provided by the system was truly amazing.

The natural yellow color of these potatoes alone is better than the color of ordinary mashed potatoes with butter added.

In another pan, melt some butter.

Then add the melted butter and milk into the potatoes little by little.

During the mixing process, the potato chunks are constantly squeezed, and finally the potatoes, butter, milk and a little salt are mixed into a paste.

Then take out a 2400 mesh ultra-dense filter to filter the paste.

The filtered mashed potatoes become extremely smooth and delicate, without any small potato particles that affect the taste.

Take out a clean bowl, pour the strained mashed potatoes into it, and then turn the bowl upside down on the plate.

A round mashed potato is presented on the plate, and hot black pepper sauce is poured on it while it is still hot.

"Soul juice, pour it on~"

When Chao Ke poured black pepper sauce on the dish, the dish information interface popped up.

【Delicious and spicy mashed potatoes (extra spicy version)】

[Rating: 78 points/89 points for spicy food lovers]

[Introduction: Seasoned mashed potatoes. As the silky mashed potatoes enter your mouth, a hint of fragrance spreads on the tip of your tongue, followed by a burst of umami and milk flavors. It is hard to imagine that such a wonderful taste comes from a common ingredient like potatoes. However, the spoonful of black pepper sauce determines that this is not a delicacy that most people can enjoy. ]

[Comment: Did you kill the black pepper seller? Or do you want to kidnap Barbara?]

Chao Ke: ...

"Is it that exaggerated?"

Unconvinced, Chao Ke scooped up a mouthful of black pepper sauce with a spoon and put it into his mouth.

Then the corner of Ke's face twitched and said, "Okay, this is really sour and refreshing."

Fortunately, Chao Ke was in the Kitchen God Trial Field, and this uncomfortable feeling quickly subsided.

Perhaps it was because the dish was too simple this time, the system gave a high rating when Chao Ke tried it for the first time.

Looking at the mashed potatoes whose production process from raw materials to raw materials was almost perfect, Chao Ke realized that the focus of improving the score was not on the mashed potatoes, but on the black pepper sauce poured on the mashed potatoes.
