[Genshin Impact]: I can become stronger by cooking

Master Mao looked at him with gratitude.

"Xiao Chao, thank you so much for last night. You don't know, I only ate a few chopsticks of "special cold poultry" last night, and I had diarrhea all night."

"This morning, I took this 'special cold poultry' to see the doctor. After the doctor looked at the ingredients of this dish, he told me that it was a good thing that I didn't eat too much."

"The mint leaves and Qingxin flowers in this dish are both extremely cold herbs. Moreover, when used together, these two herbs will enhance each other's efficacy. In addition, this dish is served cold. If you hadn't stopped me in time last night..."

"I'm afraid I'll have to eat plain porridge for several days."

Chao Ke nodded secretly, as expected.

The dish Xiangling cooked last night had a slight effect on herself. If a powerless mortal like Master Mao ate it, he probably wouldn't be able to bear it.

However, it is worth mentioning that Xiangling also ate last night, but judging from Master Mao's tone, Xiangling should be fine.

I think it’s because Xiangling has been practicing with Grandma Ping for some time, so her physique is better than that of ordinary people.

Fortunately, Master Mao is now fine, which does not affect his teaching of cooking to Chao Ke.

What Chao Ke is training today is still knife skills.

After all, in Chao Ke's opinion, the two most important skills for a Chinese chef are knife skills and cooking temperature.

As for other seasonings, as long as there is a detailed and reliable recipe, it is not a big problem.

As for the heat, Chao Ke has also made some achievements. After all, there are some recipes of Fontaine that require high heat.

But when it comes to knife skills, the chefs of Liyue simply crush those of other countries.

If you want to wield the kitchen knife well, you have to put in some effort.

"Xiao Chao, I have already taught you the methods and details of the straight knife technique. What I am going to teach you today is called the jumping knife technique. I will still use potatoes as a demonstration. Watch carefully and learn well."

To be honest, Master Mao, who comes from a family of chefs, is an extremely skilled knife-skill user.

The experience of several generations has been passed down orally, and every word and every reminder condenses their understanding of cooking.

An unintentional reminder from Master Mao may be a valuable experience that a chef can only gain after months of self-study.

------------------

On the other side, after parting with Chao Ke, Falushan walked to the teahouse again.

Falushan believed that her mastery of Liyue's ancient mechanical techniques was sufficient to achieve her goals.

Therefore, Falushan focused her energy on another book, "Analysis and Verification of the Properties of Mainstream Minerals in Liyue".

She already had a preliminary model drawing for that special mechanism. The next step was to understand the properties of the ore in Liyue.

According to the various properties of mineral materials, targeted modifications are made to the model.

After asking the waiter for a pot of good tea and paper and pen, Falushan began to calculate.

As for the main body of the model, it seems that using iron blocks is also acceptable, as it just meets the calculated material requirements.

no...

It can't be so suitable. If the deciphering cannot be completed in a short time, and the iron block rusts or cracks, it will be bad.

It’s okay if it’s a little more expensive, but you still have to use tinplate. It’s much better than iron in terms of toughness and rust resistance.

In order to achieve the desired effect at several key nodes, it is necessary to use a mineral called [Night Stone], which not only emits a faint light at night, but also has good elemental force conductivity.

As for the core that requires the highest degree of solidity, it is likely that Liyue’s precious crystal, the [Stone Amber] known as the Heart of Rock, will have to be used.

In terms of materials, Falushan already has a detailed plan, and has found suitable minerals to fill each mold.

only....

These ores in Liyue don't seem to be cheap, especially the [Night Stone] and [Stone Amber], which are both valuable products.

I do have some savings, but it is doubtful whether it can cover the cost of ore and processing costs.

Falushan kept calculating on the draft paper and trying to adjust her model to see if she could save a little more.

"Hey! Brother Liu, I heard that you just made a fortune at the [Jie Fei Hang] shop. You found such a big piece of [Ye Bo Stone] from a piece of rough stone. Moreover, this piece of [Ye Bo Stone] also has a companion [Shi Amber] as big as half an egg."

"Wow! Lao Liu, you made a fortune this time! Treat me! Treat me!"

The man surnamed Liu beamed, "Okay! Okay! No problem! Brothers, order whatever you want to drink today!"

"Oh, Brother Liu is so generous! Let's take advantage of his good fortune."

He does not mean that.

Falushan, who was standing by, was slightly tempted. How about trying her luck?

I don't ask for [Amber], just a little bit of [Night Stone] is enough.

Chapter 87 Three Bowls of Rice

Chao Ke, who had been cutting vegetables for the whole morning, moved his slightly sore arms.

Chao Ke has already mastered most of the knife skills that Master Mao taught today. It is dinner time now, one of the few busy times of the day for Master Mao.

Chao Ke also understood and did not stay in the kitchen during this period. Instead, he walked out of the Wanmintang restaurant and strolled on the streets of Liyue Harbor.

"Let me explain this to you, please listen..."

A slightly hoarse but powerful voice reached Chao Ke's ears.

Following the direction of the voice, Chao Ke discovered that the person was none other than Tian Tiezui, the storyteller at "Three Bowls Never Pass the Port".

Oh, that's not right. At that time, "Three Bowls but Not the Port" did not have this name. It was just an unnamed tavern, and this Tian Tiezui might not even have been called Tiezui yet.

Chao Ke found a seat in the tavern and sat down. Soon, a waiter came over and brought the menu.

Looking through the menu, Chao Ke, who had not eaten anything for lunch, felt a little thirsty, so he ordered a bowl of the restaurant's signature "Wine-Rice Dumplings" and a pot of the best tea.

After taking the order, the waiter left and quickly handed Chao Ke's order to the kitchen.

Chao Ke had a big appetite, and this portion of rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice probably wouldn't fill him up. So he stood up and bought two fresh and hot grilled tiger fish from the stall of "Kuai Dao Chen" nearby.

Since Chao Ke was a particular person and the tea he ordered was the most expensive in the restaurant, the waiter did not dwell on Chao Ke's violation of the rules by bringing food from outside the restaurant inside.

Eating grilled fish, listening to storytelling, and drinking a sip of good tea from time to time, this life is really wonderful.

After a while, the waiter of the tavern brought a serving of the store's signature dish, [Wine-fried Rice Dumplings].

Chao Ke still has a deep impression of this [Rice-wine Dumplings].

The first one was Xu Liushi, a sailor on the Beidou Big Sister ship. To be honest, the reason why this tavern later got the reputation of "Three Bowls and You Won't Pass the Port" was thanks to this gentleman.

The specific story is this.

At that time, Xu Liushi was still young, hot-tempered and greedy. After losing a bet with others, he followed the bet and ate three bowls of [wine-fermented dumplings] here in a row...

As a result, he was so drunk that he fell into the sea as soon as he went out to sea.

After that, the tavern was nicknamed "Three bowls and you're out of luck", and Xu Liushi lost his job.

Fortunately, Beidou took him in and gave him a chance to reform.

The second is the story at the beginning of the plot. Degui, the boss of "Three Bowls and You're Done", is a modern capitalist. He complained that the waitress Zhiruo was too honest, so he kept reducing the wine content in the "Wine-made Rice Balls" and said two golden sentences.

"Wine is more expensive than water. Just add a little bit to the soup to give the guests a little flavor. Who told you to add so much?!"

"If he thinks one bowl is not tasty enough, you trick him into ordering another bowl. Doesn't that make it tasty? You insist on making sure the customers are full. If they finish their bowl, they pay for it and leave. How can I make money?"

Chao Ke scooped a spoonful of [Rice Wine Dumplings] and put it into his mouth.

The soup has a very strong wine flavor, and even the dumplings are soft and sticky.

After tasting it carefully, there is still the aftertaste of wine in the mouth, and the quality of the wine seems to be very good!

Chao Ke nodded slightly. It seemed that the [Wine-fermented Rice Dumplings] at this time were real [Wine-fermented Rice Dumplings], not the [Boiled Water Dumplings] in the plot.

I guess it’s because the boss Degui hasn’t started to manage this tavern yet.

When Chao Ke had eaten his fill and listened to enough storytelling, he patted his butt, got up and left.

However, when Chao Ke turned around and walked down the stairs, he was surprised to find a familiar figure in the crowd opposite.

"Eh? Falusan, why is she hanging around [Jie Fei Xing]?"

----------------

【Jie Fei Xing】surrounding areas.

Falushan watched calmly from the side.

As a talented scholar in the Order of the Immaculate Conception, her IQ and EQ are both among the best.

It is still unknown whether the "Brother Liu" in the teahouse really won the prize or was hired by Jie Feixing.

If you rush in blindly without conducting any investigation, you will most likely suffer a lesson.

What Falushan is doing now is standing around [Jie Fei Xing] and observing the real situation here.

Falushan observed carefully whether those rare minerals were really mined from rough stones, or whether someone had faked them to create the illusion of winning a big prize to stimulate consumption among the onlookers.

And the chance of finding rare ores from rough stones, and whether it is worth the risk.

These extremely critical information can be obtained on site.

After observing for a period of time, Falushan also came to a conclusion.

The reputation of [Jie Feihang] is generally credible, and the rate of return is barely within the limit that Falushan can accept.

After learning about the price of cutting a piece of rough stone, Falushan gritted her teeth and made a decision.

Just open a piece of rough stone. If you don't make money, stop immediately. This way, the remaining funds should be able to barely support your plan...

Falushan held her chin with her hand and carefully selected the rough stones.

Finally, Falushan made a decision, picked up a piece of rough stone, held it in her hand, and was about to cut it.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound was heard, "This is a good piece, it feels good."

Falushan turned back in shame and anger. There was no need to guess who came from this behavior or this voice.

The reason is that what Chao Ke just hit was not a rough stone, but her...

While Falushan was not paying attention to the unpolished stone, Chao Ke took the unpolished stone from her hand, and then went to the boss of Jie Feixing to pay for the stone and the one he had chosen.
