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

A blush crept onto Arecino's face, and she turned her head slightly to avoid meeting Clementine's gaze.

Clementine stood up, patted Chao Ke on the shoulder, and said.

"Be nicer to your sister, you hear me? Or I might kidnap her."

Chao Ke nodded quickly, stepped forward and kissed Arecino on the cheek, "I definitely will, Sister Clementine."

After taking advantage of the chaos to kiss his older sister, Chao Ke found a stool and sat down.

When former family members can finally reunite, they naturally have a lot to talk about.

......

In the evening, Chao Ke cooked the meal himself.

I prepared a large meal at home to entertain my sister Clementine.

After the meal, it was time to say goodbye.

Because of her mother, Clementine still harbored a slight resentment towards Fontaine. Not only did she rarely visit Fontaine, but even when she did return, she never stayed overnight.

Chao Ke and his older sister Peruvé saw Clementine off together.

On the way back, Arecino gently took Chao Ke's hand.

"Thanks to you that day."

Chao Ke understood that his older sister was referring to that day.

That day, the former dean attempted to select a "king" from among the children through cruel means.

Chao Ke, however, completely disrupted her plans.

Are you kidding me? Implementing a "blood mist policy" in the Land of Water? Who do you think you are?

That day, Chao Ke, along with the children who hadn't been brainwashed by the previous generation's "servants," rebelled on the spot.

The elder sister, Peruvian, was the direct successor of the servant.

Chao Ke single-handedly dealt with all the subordinates of the previous generation's "servant".

Clay, on the other hand, led the remaining children out of the encirclement and went far away.

Ultimately, both Chao Ke and Peruvieri were taken to the Winter Kingdom for trial.

Afterwards, the older sister Peruvier inherited the title of "Servant" and became the fourth executive officer of the Fools, while Asahi naturally became her adjutant.

Before my older sister officially joined the company, Chao Ke initiated a purge targeting the former dean's confidants.

This cleared the final obstacle for my older sister to smoothly take over power.

He stroked his older sister's hand and responded to Ke.

"You're welcome, it's nothing."

Chapter 119 A Leisurely Day at the Buffati Mansion

"Well..."

Chao Ke slowly crawled out of bed.

He looked completely exhausted.

Looking around, Chao Ke couldn't help but sigh.

"I barely slept a wink all night."

"You really know how to drain my energy..."

After saying that, Chao Ke picked up the [Worldly Lock (Falusian Edition)] beside him and put it in the desk.

I should have told Senior Farusian that I'm just average-IQ; this thing is just too difficult to study.

Chao Ke stretched his somewhat stiff body and walked out of his room.

In the living room, my older sister, who had already gotten up, was lounging on the sofa, flipping through today's newspaper.

Chao Ke went to the kitchen and made some simple breakfast.

At the dinner table, my older sister, Peruvieri, handed me a copy of the Steambird newspaper.

"Your plan has succeeded; those siblings have garnered quite a bit of attention this time."

Chao Ke took the newspaper and started reading. Today's headline was an exclusive interview about the César murder case.

The report points out that, based on the deductions of the rising stars of the Fontaine magic world, siblings Linnie and Linette.

The murder case was successfully solved, and the real culprits were César's magic assistant Lorenzo and César's fiancée Gemma.

Furthermore, Magic rookie Linney discovers during his investigation that Cesar's fiancée, Gemma, is actually the infamous thief Mink.

These two explosive news stories happened at the same time, and both occurred within the magic world, where the brother and sister belong.

These two siblings are now officially a couple.

After breakfast, Chao Ke accompanied his older sister to the Bufati Mansion.

However, Chao Ke didn't go to the [Jia Zi Wei Restaurant] today. Instead, he stayed comfortably on the sofa in the mansion.

There's no way around it, boys always have their period for a day or two every month...

Actually, Chao Ke was just feeling lazy and wanted to take a day off.

Chao Ke lay on the sofa in the mansion, silently observing the children inside.

The morning session consists of physical and combat training, the afternoon includes academic classes and professional skills education, and even in the evening, the older sister, Peruvieri, will tell the younger children a few fairy tales.

Daily life at the Bufati Mansion is quite cozy.

As night approached, Linnie and her brother Linette, having finished their day's performances, returned to the mansion.

Their expressions and demeanor revealed deep exhaustion, suggesting they fully experienced the change in popularity after making headlines.

Linnie was alright; she still had the energy to maintain the magic props. But Linette was different. After returning home, she plopped down on the sofa, and even her eyes became somewhat lifeless.

Chao Ke understood that she was truly sleepy and had entered [ultimate standby mode].

Even when Chao Ke gently rubbed his ear, he didn't react much.

After some time, Lynette suddenly shook her head and broke free from Chao Ke's hand.

Chao Ke removed his hands with some disappointment, seeing that his cat had recovered some energy and emerged from its "ultimate standby mode".

Normally, Lynette will choose to eat or make a cup of hot tea after ending the "ultimate standby mode".

As Chao Ke had predicted, Lynette, who had just finished resting, brought out her teacup and a tea bag.

Watching the rising steam from the teacup and inhaling the delicate aroma of the tea, Lynette felt the fatigue of the whole day slowly dissipate.

It's worth mentioning that Lynette's tongue is very sensitive, probably because it's a cat's tongue, and she can't handle anything too hot.

Therefore, Lynette always drank her tea slowly and deliberately.

They would often hold the cup with both hands, blow on it silently to cool it down, and then sip it slowly.

Chao Ke once tried adding some ice to Lynette's teacup to shorten her waiting time.

Unexpectedly, Linette disliked Chao Ke's behavior.

She didn't even let Chao Ke stroke her ears for a whole week.

According to Lynette, the best temperature for tea can only be achieved by taking small sips and blowing on it to cool it down.

You won't get burned, and you won't lose your flavor.

Adding ice will affect the concentration of the tea, and pouring it back and forth between two teacups to cool it will ruin the flavor profile of the tea.

If you simply use warm water to brew it, that would be a complete waste of the tea leaves.

Chao Ke declined to comment on Lynette's tea-tasting philosophy.

After all, Lynette's palate is unique, and her tea-tasting philosophy may not be suitable for everyone.

After spending a day lounging in the Bufati Mansion and petting the family cats for a while in the evening, Chao Ke's laziness has been almost cured.

Seeing that it wasn't too late, Chao Ke, who had rested, decided to learn how to cook.

At least I gained something today.

Chao Ke opened the system, browsed through the [Food Encyclopedia] interface, and selected tonight's target recipe: [Almond Tofu].

[Recipe: Almond Tofu]

[Description: A dessert made from ground almonds. It has a unique, smooth, and sweet texture, as well as a rich and lingering almond aroma. It is named almond tofu because of its resemblance to tofu.]

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

[Shall we begin practicing?]

【whether】

"Yes!"

After confirming the option, a black mist appeared before Chao Ke's eyes.

As his perspective shifted and the weather cleared again, Chao Ke found himself in the Chef God's Trial Grounds.

(Happy Birthday, Xiao Shangxian)

Chapter 120 [Almond Tofu]

[Bonus chapter added to raise the rating from 8.0 to 8.1]

According to the recipe provided by the system, the preparation of the dish 【Almond Tofu】begins with the preparation of osmanthus sauce.

The system provided Chao Ke with two different methods for preparing osmanthus sauce.

The first method is the boiling method, which is also the method that Chao Ke decided to use.

First, take an appropriate amount of dried osmanthus flowers and set them aside. Then, take out a clay pot and place it on the stove.

Turn on a low flame and add pure, cold spring water.

Once the spring water has heated up slightly, add an appropriate amount of rock sugar.
