[Genshin Impact]: I can become stronger by cooking.

Chao Ke opened the lunchbox for his older sister and set out the cutlery.

He said, "We are both witnesses to what [Dean] Kujavina did. The reason we overthrew her is to change the rules she left behind in the House of Hearths. This matter cannot be rushed; let's take it slowly."

Arecino sighed and took the cutlery that Chao Ke handed her.

"That's the only way. By the way, what are your thoughts on your future work?"

Chao Ke was about to answer when a sudden interface appeared in his mind, causing him to pause...

"I'm thinking, how about I become a chef?"

"what?"

Chapter 2 [Circles and Circles]

"Stab!"

With Chao Ke's rough movements, the black and white outer garment was torn open, revealing the fair skin underneath.

Arecino took a step back, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"Chao Ke, you...."

"Sis, how was it? Wasn't my technique unforgettable?"

"Indeed... this method of removing fish scales is quite rare."

In the kitchen, Chao Ke wielded a small knife and quickly slid it across the body of a blackback sea bass, peeling off the skin completely in a few strokes to reveal the tender white flesh inside.

Although it's a bit of a waste to throw away the fish skin, it's not necessary for the dish Chao Ke is making.

【Circles and circles】

It's considered a fairly popular snack in Fontainebleau. The ingredients include both meat and vegetables, and it's deep-fried. Whether you're looking to satisfy your cravings or replenish your energy, it's a great choice.

Given that Fontaine's prototype is France in the perfect era, it's not hard to understand why this fast-food culture became popular.

Chao Ke carefully removed the bones from the blackback sea bass, leaving only the meat.

Meanwhile, Arecino didn't just stand by and watch; she peeled the washed potatoes and deboned the prepared chicken legs.

I took the potatoes my older sister had peeled, sliced ​​them, and then steamed them until cooked.

Alecino, standing nearby, put the boneless chicken leg and onion into a blender, added a few seasonings, and started blending.

As time passed, the aroma of potatoes filled the steamer.

"It's time!"

Lifting the lid of the steamer, the most original aroma of potatoes, mixed with the steam, wafts out. Although it is not as strong as the aroma of other ingredients, this simple and unpretentious flavor contains a great sense of fulfillment.

Once the steamed potato slices are removed from the steamer, they are easily mashed into mashed potatoes with just a few gentle stirs.

Mix the mashed potatoes and blackback sea bass thoroughly, then add seasonings. After a moment's thought, Chao Ke added a little starch to improve the texture and make it easier to shape.

Put the mixed batter into a piping bag and pipe out small round cake shapes onto a plate.

This is the "round" in "round and round".

On the other side, her older sister, Aregino, also squeezed circles of the chicken and onion mixture onto a plate.

This is the "circle" in "circle circle".

However, the prepared dough cannot be coated with breadcrumbs and fried directly in oil, because the freshly made dough is not firm and is very likely to fall apart during frying.

It's best to refrigerate the dough before frying to allow it to set.

After placing the two plates in the refrigerator, he pulled out a chair for Cora to sit down, while his older sister Arecino leaned against the refrigerator.

"I'm curious, why did you have the idea of ​​becoming a chef?"

Arecino asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Well...maybe it's because I have a bit of an obsession with food."

"In my hometown, there's a saying: 'When you're full, you don't miss home.' Now that I have some free time, I'd like to recreate some of the flavors I remember."

Arecino paused for a moment, then said.

"If you're homesick, why don't you go back and visit? Aren't you from Liyue? It shouldn't take long to get from Mortei in Fontaine to Liyue, right?"

“It’s different, sis. Liyue can only be considered my hometown, my home... I can’t go back to it.”

Arecino paused, and Chao Ke's words reminded her of some things from the past.

Like Chao Ke's home that he can never return to, she also has a home she can never return to.

Arecino got up and walked to Chao Ke's side.

He placed his hand on Chao Ke's shoulder, and in the silence, they both understood each other's meaning.

On the vast land of Teyvat, these two siblings, who were not related by blood, formed a special "family".

Time passed slowly. After a while, Chao Ke got up, took out the fixed dough from the refrigerator, coated it with breadcrumbs, and put it into the oil pan. The "Round and Round" dough was born amidst the sizzling sound of frying.

The "round circle" in Fontaine should correspond to the dish "onion rings" from the previous life.

According to an 1802 British cookbook, the method involved slicing onions thinly, dipping them in batter, adding Parmesan cheese, and then frying them in lard.

The cooking process breaks down the propanthaldehyde oxide in onions into sweet-smelling diallyl disulfide, thus generating an enticing aroma.

However, Chao Ke did not choose lard, not because of the rumor that eating lard would cause cardiovascular disease.

In Chao Ke's understanding, the oil used for frying is either rapeseed oil or palm oil; he is not used to using animal oil.

The dough, which had been refrigerated for a period of time, was very stable and did not fall apart even when it was constantly tossed in boiling oil.

Before long, the golden rings and rounds floated to the surface, and the incredibly enticing aroma of the fried food began to waft through the air.

Chao Ke arranged the fried rings on a plate, added the prepared sauce, and a dish that Chao Ke was extremely satisfied with was complete.

At the same time, a system notification sounded in Chao Ke's mind.

【Ding! 】

[New player task: Complete the preparation of a dish (Completed)]

[New player quest rewards have been added to system space]

Ignoring the system's prompts, Chao Ke carried the "Circle and Round" snack to the dining table at home and shared it with his older sister.

Following the authentic way of eating in Fontainebleau, hook the circle with your left hand, pinch the ball with your right hand, dip it in the sauce, and put it into your mouth. The tongue is filled with light and crispy flavors, and you can enjoy the rich and mellow taste.

After we finished eating, my older sister went upstairs to rest first.

It's worth mentioning that Chao Ke and Arecino actually live together.

The two bought a two-story house in Fontainebleau; Chao Ke lived on the first floor, and Arecino lived on the second floor.

After a quick wash, Chao Ke returned to his room, lay on the bed, and immersed his consciousness in the system interface.

The system's main interface currently has three options: [Demon God Level], [Dish Recipes], and [System Space].

"Do I need to have a cookbook and my own restaurant...?"

Chao Ke pondered, the recipe issue was easy to resolve.

The system's menu notes how to obtain the dishes; initially, they can be obtained from Louis's snack stall and the Grand Hotel de Bot.

Even though they don't sell recipes to passersby in real life, Chao Ke still knows a little bit about martial arts and techniques.

They're all members of the Fools, so morality and reputation... are simply not a consideration.

I do need a restaurant, but that's a bit of a problem. I don't know if my remaining savings are enough to buy a shop.

If that doesn't work, I'll have to borrow some from my older sister. With the Navi Otters in Fontainebleau, I'd better think twice before causing any trouble.

Besides, my older sister probably wouldn't want to act recklessly in the mansion, in the hometown of so many children.

After determining the solution to the advanced task, Chao Ke set his sights on the newbie gift pack in the system space.
