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

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Bai Zhu woke up with a start on the bed inside the medicine hut.

She slowly opened her eyes and met Changsheng's gaze.

Changsheng asked, "At this hour, have any patients come to the door?"

"Go and see. It's no small matter if someone needs to seek medical help in the middle of the night."

As Bai Shu spoke, he put on his shoes and boots, draped a robe over his shoulders, and prepared to go out.

Changsheng climbed up Bai Shu's wrist.

Outside the medicine hut, the anxious mother finally received a response.

Looking at Bai Shu's kind and calm face, the mother holding her child felt a little relieved.

"Doctor, I'm so sorry to have come to see you in the middle of the night, it's really about my child's condition..."

"It's quite chilly outside, please come in and talk."

Bai Zhu invited the mother and child into the medicine hut, lit a lamp, and began to examine the child.

"Madam, there's no need to be too nervous. The child just has a common cold. Feeling cold and weak during this period is normal."

"Let me get some medicine. As long as you take it on time, you should recover in a few days."

After settling the child in, Bai Zhu went to the medicine cabinet next to her to get the medicine.

Bai Zhu first prepared a dose for the child, and then packed several portions according to the treatment plan and gave them to the child's mother.

After the herbs were decocted, Bai Zhu helped the child sit up and fed him the decoction.

Perhaps because the medicine was extremely bitter, the child frowned as he swallowed it.

After drinking the warm medicinal soup, the child's condition seemed to improve somewhat.

The child's mother expressed her gratitude to Bai Zhu, and after paying for the medicine, she bowed again in thanks before leaving.

Standing outside the medicine hut, Bai Shu looked at the sky, which was already beginning to brighten.

He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then ripped off the red cloth covering the plaque.

Changsheng, who had been hiding in Baizhu's sleeve to avoid frightening the patient, also peeked out at this moment.

Everyone watched with regret as Bai Shu tore down the signboard.

"Aren't you afraid of losing money all the way to your master's house if you don't open early according to the rules?"

"It was just one emergency case at night, is it really necessary to open early for that?"

Bai Shu smiled and said, "If we open a day later, some patients might have to wait an extra day."

"Besides, I run a medicine shop, why would I be hoping for booming business? I can't possibly wish for more people to get sick, can I?"

"I would rather my medicine cabinet be covered in dust than see so many people in this world suffering from illness."

The snake-like creature on his shoulder flicked its tongue; this lineage really does think alike...

"You can't possibly open a store before you've even thought of a name or a congratulatory message, can you?"

Bai Shu smiled. "Now we have it."

"May this medicine shop be blessed with good fortune and misfortune, and may the guests suffer hardship..."

"Let's not consult the gods or ask about our destinies!"

Bai Zhu picked up the prescription slip and looked at the rising sun outside the door.

A ray of morning sunlight pierced through the back of the paper, making the handwriting at the end of the signature even more elegant and refined.

"Bu Bu Lu, Bai Zhu"

Chapter 98 discusses the feasibility of [Salt and Pepper Slime]...

Time flies, and more than half a month of leisurely life in Liyue Harbor has quietly passed.

Quite a few interesting things happened during this period.

First, there was the opening of the medical clinic "Bu Bu Lu" fifteen days ago.

The opening ceremony of this clinic was held quietly, with no celebrations inside or outside the clinic.

However, the doctor in the apothecary was highly skilled and charged reasonable fees, and quickly gained a reputation in the bustling Liyue Harbor.

Upon learning of the opening of "Bu Bu Lu", Chao Ke paid a personal visit, but unfortunately, the pharmacist A Gui had not yet joined the establishment.

Despite the regrets, when Chao Ke left, he still left a check worth 200 million Mora as his personal investment in "Bu Bu Lu" and Atractylodes macrocephala.

However, at a street corner in Liyue Harbor, an old man with a fortune-telling stall shook his head helplessly.

The remaining few interesting stories are all closely related to Xiangling, the young cook.

Twelve days ago, with Chao Ke's prompting, Xiang Ling finally managed to extract a secret recipe.

"Soak freshly picked glass berries in honey overnight, then remove them the next day. Drain them and grind them into powder. When added to dishes along with other spices, it can significantly enhance the aroma and flavor."

Using this secret recipe and her understanding of Liyue cuisine, Xiangling created a unique "spicy dish".

This dish combines the fresh and nourishing flavor of moonflower with the rich oil and color of water spinach, and is further enhanced with fruits and herbs to create a unique and complex taste.

After consulting with Chao Ke, Xiang Ling named the dish "Boiled Blackback Bass".

The restaurant 【Wanmintang】broke the deadlock with the unique aroma of this dish, causing quite a stir in Liyue Harbor.

Thus, the dish of boiled black-backed bass became the signature dish of "Wanmintang".

Xiangling has taken a solid first step in breaking people's unhealthy pursuit of top-quality ingredients.

However, Master Mao's one-on-one training time for Chao Ke was shortened considerably due to the improved business at the store.

It's fair to say that fortune and misfortune are intertwined.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the recipe for Boiled Blackback Bass]

[Description: A spicy fish dish prepared by boiling. The tender fish slices melt in your mouth, swirling and gliding so smoothly they seem ready to slip away. After swallowing, your mouth feels empty, making you want to immediately grab another slice.]

Now that the recipe has been obtained, you can enter the God of Cookery Trial Grounds to practice this dish.

[Shall we begin practicing?]

【whether】

"Yes!"

"..."

[Congratulations, host, on completing the cooking of an ultimate dish. Ultimate cooking recipe count: 12]

----------

Seven days ago, Yanfei, the "gold medal lecturer" of "Liyue Law Exam", "the spokesperson for Zhang San of Liyue", and Xiangling's senior sister, came to the Wanmintang Restaurant.

While taking care of her junior sister's family business, she also introduced Xiangling to a junior sister, Jiuqi Ren, who had recently been studying law with her.

Yan Fei said that the two of them had been working on a case since early morning until now before finally solving it.

Having not eaten or drunk anything all day, I was starving. Since I happened to be passing by the [Wanmintang] restaurant, I decided to have a delicious meal.

Hisashi Shinobu, who was with him, bowed to the three people in the kitchen to express his gratitude.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yanfei and Jiuqiren ordered their food and waited at the table for it to be served.

Yanfei is a passionate tofu lover, and both of the dishes she ordered contained tofu.

One serving of braised tofu in soy sauce, and one serving of Mapo tofu noodles.

Hisuki Shinobu, out of curiosity about Liyue cuisine, ordered two dishes with rather unusual names.

One serving was shredded pork with garlic sauce, the other was boiled cabbage, and a small bowl of rice served as the main course.

With the help of the three chefs in the kitchen, the cooking process was completed in no time.

Xiangling made two trips to bring the meal to the table.

Smelling the aroma of the food, Yan Fei's appetite was whetted. After thanking Xiang Ling, she picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.

Meanwhile, Hisagi Shinobu stared intently at the two dishes in front of her.

The stir-fried shredded pork with soy sauce even tasted like fish-fragrant sauce...

Boiled cabbage, yet with the umami flavor of chicken broth…

The cuisine of Liyue is truly wondrous.

Hisaki Shinobu, who has already obtained an advanced chef's license, is not someone who doesn't know how to cook. However, it is precisely because of her mastery of cooking that she is so deeply moved by the wonder of Liyue cuisine.

Hisagi Shinobu stood up and bowed respectfully to Kaoru.

"Thank you for your meal, I have learned a lot from it."

Even if you have obtained an advanced certificate, you cannot be confined to one place and become complacent.

"We must make more attempts and dare to break through in order to avoid being limited by the evaluation criteria set by our predecessors."

Although Xiangling was quite taken aback by Hisaki Shinobu's politeness, she still understood what she meant.

Xiangling felt as if she had found a kindred spirit.

He hurried to the kitchen of the [Wanmintang] restaurant, not knowing what he was going to do.

A few minutes later, Yanfei and Jiuqi Shinobu, who were outside, heard the sound of an argument coming from the kitchen.

“My dear daughter, listen to your father’s advice. Our shop has just started to get some customers, and these people have come all the way from Inazuma. You shouldn’t serve these dishes.”

"If you really want to find someone to taste the dishes, come find me tonight, no, I mean Xiao Chao. He's strong and can take it."

Chao Ke: .....

I really want to complain about what they mean by "my body is strong and can withstand the strain".
