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

Chapter 75 Teyvat Omelet

Wanting to get information from the proprietress, Chao Ke didn't hesitate to buy several Mondstadt souvenirs.

But... these souvenirs seem to have been made by Liyue...

Indeed, no matter the time or place, China's manufacturing industry will not disappoint you.

After buying souvenirs, Chao Ke inquired about Herta from the proprietress.

"You mean that girl from Herta? She should be buying meat from the hunters in Clearspring Town right now. She should be coming to the shop soon. Let me tell you, don't let her gentle voice and cute appearance fool you; she's a real expert at bargaining with me..."

The proprietress of Mond Department Store started talking non-stop, telling Chao Ke about Herta.

In just over ten minutes, Chao Ke had heard almost everything about Herta's life, as well as various rumors.

Hmm, as expected of a middle-aged woman, her intelligence-gathering abilities are terrifying...

After waiting for a while in the chair provided by the proprietress, a bustling figure came over and began discussing the Knights' Order's order with the proprietress of Mondstadt Department Store.

That figure was Herta.

As the later captain of the sixth squad (logistics squad) in the Knights of Favonius, Herta was indeed quite capable.

Throughout the negotiations, Hertha maintained the upper hand almost entirely, keeping a friendly atmosphere while pushing the purchase price down to an extremely low figure.

He is a master.

The two ended their negotiations in no time. The owner of Mond Department Store gave Herta an invoice, and Herta gave a certain percentage of the payment in advance.

Chao Ke stepped forward and blocked Herta's way of leaving.

Herta was taken aback, then gave Chao Ke a knightly salute.

"Hello, are you having any difficulties? The Knights of Favonius are happy to assist you."

"Hello, Miss Knight, I would like to ask you for a few recipes. Is that alright?"

"Of course, no problem. What kind of recipes do you want? As long as I know them, I will write them down for you without reservation."

"Forehead..."

Herta's generosity made Chao Ke a little uncomfortable for a moment. "I want the recipes for Northern Apple Stew, Adventurer's Egg Burger, and Moon Pie."

"Huh? How did you know I know these things? No problem, please wait a moment, I'll borrow a pen and paper to write them down for you."

With that, Herta returned to the Mond Department Store, borrowed a pen and paper from the proprietress, and soon walked up to Chao Ke with a few sheets of paper in hand.

"Here you go, this is the recipe you requested."

"You just gave it to me so easily?"

"Otherwise what? Do you think members of our Knights would ask the people for favors?"

After Herta finished speaking, she hummed a cheerful tune and left, leaving Chao Ke behind with a somewhat dazed expression.

After a moment, Chao Ke sighed.

"With such a knightly order existing... no wonder Mondstadt is known for producing so many overgrown children..."

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the recipe - Braised Pork with Northern Apples]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the recipe - Adventurer's Egg Burger]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the recipe for Moon Pie]

Total number of recipes: 41

As the amount drew ever closer to the target, Chao Ke understood that he had taken another step closer to greater power.

There are three conditions required to upgrade your current chef level.

Firstly, it is the accumulation of the power of the spirit food, which Chao Ke has already completed.

Secondly, you need to accumulate 50 recipes.

Chao Ke has now collected a total of 41 recipes. Considering that he hasn't collected any recipes in Liyue, the land of gourmet food, this problem shouldn't be too difficult.

Thirdly, Chao Ke is required to cook 10 dishes to the highest level, which will require some effort.

Of the recipes Chao Ke has unlocked so far, only seven can reach the ultimate level, as follows.

Crispy Pork Leg Burger, Cream of Mushroom Soup, Rich Mashed Potatoes, Giant Golden Chicken, Coconut Charcoal Pancakes, Large Bowl Tea, and Time-Traveling Enlightenment Tea (a specialty dish of Chao Ke)

Now that she had the recipes that were readily available in Mondstadt, Falussan was busy with her own things.

Why not take advantage of this free time and learn a new dish?

Chao Ke was also a man of action; once he had this idea, he began to put it into practice.

Browsing through the system's [Recipe Encyclopedia], Chao Ke selected his learning goals for the day.

"Sizzle"

A sudden sizzling sound from afar interrupted Chao Ke's thoughts.

Looking towards the source of the sound, it was the [Deer Hunter] restaurant next door making [Teyvat Omelets].

Chao Ke's eyes lit up. "Teyvat Omelet" seemed like a good choice. Making this dish would increase both the number of recipes and the number of ultimate dishes, killing two birds with one stone.

Moreover, the Teyvat Egg is considered a resurrection food item in the game.

Although my current demonic authority is not enough to complete the enchanting, there is no harm in mastering the recipe in advance.

Chao Ke is a man of action; once he has an idea, he actively puts it into practice. After communicating with Sarah, Chao Ke entered the kitchen of the "Deer Hunter" restaurant.

With Chao Ke's generous funding, the chef from [The Deer Hunter] personally explained the key points of [Teyvat Omelet] to Chao Ke.

The first thing to consider is the choice of oil. Located in Mondstadt, olive oil is generally used, while more upscale restaurants will use extra virgin olive oil.

In Liyue, rapeseed oil is generally used for frying.

After adding oil to the frying pan, sprinkle a layer of salt on top to set the saltiness of the Teyvat omelet.

Next comes the most important step in this dish: cracking the poultry eggs into it.

This step is very particular. The chef specifically instructed Chao Ke to first make a small opening to let some of the egg white flow in, and then wait a moment before completely opening the eggshell to let the yolk flow out.

This way, you can control the position of the yolk in the center of the fried egg, forming a sun shape, and also control the doneness of the yolk. When the egg white has browned edges, the yolk in the center is still runny.

The remaining steps are quite simple. Once one side of the fried egg has set, gently shake it to let it slide around in the pan, and then it's ready to be taken out of the pan.

Looking at the finished product prepared by the chef, Chao Ke began to taste it.

The eggs, fried on one side, emitted a fragrant aroma. A gentle poke at the yolk would release its juices, making them incredibly tempting.

Not only does it resemble a sun in shape, but it also has a warm, sunny taste.

After swiftly devouring the food, Chao Ke couldn't help but give the chef a thumbs up.

To make a simple dish this good requires real skill.

After eating, Chao Ke also began to try it himself.

Thanks to his extensive experience with fried food, Chao Ke's hands were steady, and he did not flinch even when oil splattered onto his hands.

Thanks to the mental breakthrough he made while learning how to make the "Golden Finger-Licking Chicken", Chao Ke is very perceptive and can learn from each fried egg and make targeted improvements in his next work.

Thanks to his mastery of heat control while making black pepper sauce, Chao Ke made rapid progress in controlling the heat when frying eggs.

No hardship is wasted on the path to becoming a culinary master.

The fierce battles in the culinary prowess arena and the countless repetitions in the kitchen of the Jia Zi Wei restaurant cleared obstacles for the road ahead.

Now, Chao Ke has crossed the initial threshold and begun to enter the hall of culinary arts!

Behind him, the chefs at the [Deer Hunter] restaurant nodded frequently, expressing their appreciation for Chao Ke's comprehension and learning speed.

Chapter 76 Lisa and Farusan

Delicious Teyvat Omelets

[Rating: 87]

[Description: A perfectly fried egg with a warm, sun-kissed flavor; just one bite is enough to savor its sunshine-like taste.]

"Still a little short..."

However, it's not a big problem. Chao Ke already has a direction for improvement in mind. All he lacks is experience.

More than a dozen more eggs perished on the road to becoming the Demon God of Cookery in Chaoke.

Fortunately, the result was not bad.

The ultimate Teyvat omelet

[Rating: 92]

[Description: A poultry egg fried on one side, with a crisp, regularly rounded white and a runny yolk perfectly centered. It possesses a geometric beauty, offering diners a dual enjoyment of taste and sight.]

With the first "ultimate" grade appearing, subsequent works became increasingly smooth.

Finally, when Chao Ke made the fifth [Ultimate Teyvat Omelet], the system notification sounded in his ear as expected.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the recipe - Teyvat Omelette]

[Number of recipes unlocked: 42, Number of recipes mastered to the highest level: 8]

Chao Ke breathed a sigh of relief; his goal was finally achieved, but... what to do with all those fried eggs...?

Looking at the mountain of fried eggs, Chao Ke had a headache. The Deer Hunter restaurant could handle some of it, but there would still be a considerable amount left over.

Alright, let's eat.

Chao Ke, who devoured nearly thirty fried eggs in one sitting, said he doesn't want to eat egg products for at least a month.

......

The headquarters of the Knights of Favonius.

The library was unusually quiet today, with only two figures in the vast space.

Farusian sat upright in a wooden chair, with several books related to her research placed in front of her.

But judging from the fact that she hasn't turned the page for a long time, her mind is probably not focused on academics right now.

"Ugh..."
