[Genshin Impact]: I can become stronger by cooking

【Hate/h ...

It can be said that Xiangling's food tasting behavior made the restaurant's already difficult financial situation even worse.

----------

When Chao Ke walked into the Wanmintang restaurant, he also discovered that there seemed to be some problems in the restaurant's operation.

Although it’s not dinner time yet, isn’t it a little too quiet?

He walked towards Ke and came in front of Master Mao.

When Master Mao saw the diners coming, his eyes lit up and he quickly stood up and spoke.

"Guest, would you like to taste the cooking of Wanmintang?"

"Of course, Master, please serve whatever specialties the store has."

"Okay, sir, do you have any dietary restrictions? Can you eat spicy food?"

"I can eat spicy food even if I don't have any dietary restrictions. Please go ahead and serve it, Master."

"Dele!"

Without any constraints, Master Mao was fully focused and used all his skills to complete Chao Ke's order.

The food was cooked over high heat and quickly, so Chao Ke didn't have to wait too long. Soon Chef Mao came over with two plates.

"Sir, this is [Four-Way Peace], and this is [Squirrel Fish], enjoy."

"Well, thank you."

Chao Ke looked at the two dishes served by Chef Mao.

The first one is [Four-sided Peace], which can be regarded as half a staple food. Various dried fruits are tightly stacked on the fragrant, soft and glutinous rice.

Take a spoonful and put it into your mouth. The sour and sweet taste of the dried fruits is intertwined with the rich texture of the rice. The hint of sweetness lingers on your lips and teeth, outlining a touch of happiness that comes from biological instinct.

Next, it’s the [Squirrel Fish].

It can be seen that Chef Mao is still relatively restrained. Although Chao Ke expressed that he could eat spicy food, Chef Mao ultimately did not choose dishes with high oil content or high spicy taste.

Instead, I chose the Squirrel Fish, which also reflects the chef's superb craftsmanship, but with a sweet and sour seasoning that suits the tastes of most people.

There's not much to say about dishes like Squirrel Fish; it all depends on the chef's knife skills.

You can tell at a glance how good a chef’s knife skills are by looking at whether the patterns are regular and the shapes are elegant.

But obviously, Master Mao's knife skills are impeccable. The fish meat coated with flour and fried has regular texture and elegant shape. Even the sauce used for seasoning has a golden sweet and sour ratio.

Master Mao's craftsmanship is truly convincing.

The food at Wanmintang was indeed delicious. Chao Ke finished all the dishes served by Chef Mao in no time.

After eating, Chao Ke gave Master Mao a thumbs up and said, "Master, your cooking skills are amazing."

Seeing the diner giving him such respect, Chef Mao felt very proud and he quickly expressed his gratitude.

While Master Mao was clearing the plates, Chao Ke asked him curiously.

"Master Mao, your cooking skills are so superb, why are there so few customers?"

Hearing Chao Ke's question, Master Mao sighed and told Chao Ke the general reason.

"Too much for this to happen..."

“There is nothing wrong with pursuing precious ingredients, but it is somewhat putting the cart before the horse to consider whether the ingredients are precious or not more than the taste of the food.”

Master Mao echoed, "Why not?"

"Many customers have advised me that it would be a pity to keep my skills to themselves. I might as well learn from my peers and go for the high-end route."

"As long as the average customer spending is high enough, the extra profit will be enough for me to get a large share of precious ingredients."

Chao Ke asked with curiosity on his face.

“If that would solve the problem, why not do it?”

Master Mao smiled and said, "Because I am a stubborn person, as long as the business is still acceptable, I want to stick to the rules left by my father."

"The hall welcomes all people and the spoons serve all kinds of food"

“This is exactly the origin of the name of Wanmin Hall and the philosophy it upholds.”

"Is this so..."

Chao Ke nodded slightly and proposed an idea to Master Mao.

"Master Mao, are you still accepting disciples?"

"Forehead?"

The turn of events in Chao Ke's words made Master Mao stunned for a moment.

"You are joking, sir."

"No, Master Mao, I'm serious. To be honest, I'm engaged in the catering business in Fontaine. Currently, there are very few Liyue restaurants in Fontaine. I want to systematically learn Liyue cuisine and bring it to Fontaine Court."

As he spoke, Chao Ke took out a check from his pocket and wrote a string of Mora on it.

"I understand the rules of our Liyue. The law is not easily passed on. This is my sincerity, Master Mao."

Master Mao swallowed his saliva and said, "That's not necessary. The space in the back kitchen of the restaurant is really not big. It's already quite narrow to accommodate me and my daughter. It's really..."

"Oh I see."

He nodded to Ke, picked up the pen and added another zero after the amount of the check.

"Gudu."

After confirming the authenticity of the check, Master Mao swallowed his saliva and silently counted the digits on the check.

Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousand, hundred thousand, and millions.

A full five million Mora.

Master Mao was wavering in his heart. How about... accepting a disciple? This disciple's sincerity, um, this disciple's enthusiasm for Liyue cuisine was too great.

As if he noticed the hesitation in Master Mao's eyes, he raised the corner of his mouth towards Ke.

He picked up a pen and added another zero to the end of the check, bringing the amount to tens of millions.

"My beloved disciple, please come in. Tell me what you want to learn. I will teach you everything I know."

Master Mao figured it out instantly and pulled Chao Ke towards the kitchen.

The more he looked at Chao Ke, the more familiar he felt. His nose, his eyes, everything about him looked like that of a close disciple whom he had never met.

"Master Mao, I have a list here of things I want to learn. I wonder if you could give me a recipe first."

"No problem, as long as I know it, I will write it down right away."

As he spoke, Master Mao picked up the list that Chao Ke handed over and checked it one by one.

"Well, I know most of them, except for one dish called 'Boiled Black Sea Bass', which I don't know much about."

Although one can roughly guess the production method from its name, Master Mao still honestly explains the situation.

Chao Ke was stunned. Master Mao doesn’t know how to cook this dish?

After a little thought, Chao Ke reacted.

This dish, "Boiled Blackback Seabass", combines the rich oil and color of amaranth with the fresh, fragrant and nourishing characteristics of moonflower, and its inventor seems to be Xiangling.

It was this dish that broke the convention and became the signature dish of Wanmintang.

Now it seems that I came too early, Xiangling has not yet developed this dish.

However, the lack of this dish does not affect the overall situation.

After all, apart from this "Boiled Black Sea Bass", Chef Mao said he could provide recipes for the remaining thirteen dishes.

In other words, the business of Wanmintang is not very good now, so Master Mao has more time.

The whole process took no more than an hour until I finished writing the last recipe.

Holding some thick stacks of cookbooks, Chao Ke couldn't help but sigh, when had our dynasty ever fought such a prosperous war.

I hope readers won’t find it boring.

He fixed his eyes on Ke, "System, use the recipe."
