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

Arecino smiled.

"Nice suggestion."

Chao Ke's lips twitched, and he was about to retort.

However, seeing [Roseland] snuggling affectionately in his arms, a thought suddenly popped into Ke's head.

Just as Chao Ke glanced at his sister's thick cushioning, Arecino seemed to have guessed Chao Ke's plan and responded calmly.

"If you want to fly out of the mansion in front of the children, you can try."

The spark of Chao Ke's dangerous idea had barely been ignited when Arecino extinguished it.

"mean."

Unwilling to give up, Chao Ke stroked his sister's smooth, white waist a few more times, just to soothe his own heart.

Meanwhile, inside the dining hall of the Bufati Mansion.

Several children busied themselves on the barbecue grill, and finally, they grilled the first batch of barbecue for the evening.

However, the children tacitly refrained from eating it, instead placing it on a clean plate and offering it to their father and Chao Ke first.

After a minute or two.

While sitting on the sofa, Chao Ke and Arecino received food from the children.

Arecino nodded silently, while Chao Ke smiled and took the food, patting the delivery boy's hair as he did so.

He placed the plate of barbecue on an armrest of the sofa, grabbed a few skewers, and shared them with his older sister.

Looking at the skewer of grilled mushrooms in his hand, Chao Ke also felt playful.

I took the skewer of barbecue and placed it next to my older sister's pretty face.

"Sis, open your eyes."

Looking at her sister's X-shaped pupils and the string of shiitake mushrooms in her hand that had been modified with decorative cuts, she teased Ke.

"Tsk tsk tsk, they really look alike."

Arecino looked at Chao Ke speechlessly. She reached out, snatched the skewer of grilled mushrooms from Chao Ke's hand, took a bite, and put the mushrooms into her mouth.

It's clear that the kid in charge of grilling is quite skilled.

The skewer of shiitake mushrooms was grilled perfectly, with plenty of sauce and juice, so much so that after Arecino finished eating, there was a smear of sauce on the corner of her mouth.

Chao Ke swallowed hard, looked up and around. He found that there weren't many children in the hall, and their attention was focused on the food and the celebration. No one was looking in Chao Ke and Arecino's direction.

"Damn it, bottoms up!"

Chao Ke's eyes narrowed suddenly.

He pressed down on one of his sister's full breasts with one hand, and before she could react in surprise, he pushed her down onto the sofa.

Just as Arecino realized what was happening, she pressed her hands against the sofa, trying to get up.

Chao Ke piled up.

"Well!"

While gagging, Chao Ke controlled the power of the fire element, suppressing the flickering flames in the fireplace by several degrees.

Under the dim light, and with children appearing nearby at any moment.

Even someone as composed as Arecino couldn't help but feel her heart race a little faster.

As for Chao Ke?

Chao Ke no longer had time to consider these things; instead, he used all his senses to record the full and rounded flavor of the moment.

The fire in the furnace flickered and flickered, and it took quite some time before it slowly returned to normal.

Under the glow of the fireplace, Arecino calmly straightened her slightly disheveled suit, while Chao Ke ate his slightly cold barbecue.

By the way, I was reminiscing about the shiitake mushrooms I had just eaten.

Well, that's really good.

...

As time passed and the children's laughter filled the air, the barbecue party came to a close.

With the children working together to tidy up, the subsequent cleaning work was quick and efficient, without affecting their scheduled rest time.

My older sister got up, picked up a storybook, and went to tell bedtime stories to the younger children.

Chao Ke also got busy.

Upon entering the dining hall of the Bufati Mansion, Chao Ke dismissed all the remaining staff members and sent them home to rest.

After circling around to confirm that there was no one else in the restaurant besides himself, Chao Ke silently activated the power of his water elemental force.

Clean up all the dust and smoke stains left from the barbecue party.

After some time, the siblings finished up the remaining tasks for the children. Chao Ke took Arecino's hand, and the two left the Bufati Mansion, heading towards home.

...

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

The next morning.

Chao Ke and his older sister set off from home together and parted ways at the entrance of the mansion.

My older sister is busy with the affairs of the mansion, while Chao Ke also has his own tasks to complete at the [Jia Zi Wei Restaurant].

If this resource accidentally infringes upon your rights, please notify us and delete it in time.

One task was to finalize the menu for entertaining Furnessa and Navelette this afternoon.

On the other hand, based on the experience gained from making [Lotus Pastry], I tried to start making [Lion Pastry].

Chao Ke picked up a small notebook and began to think about what delicacies to serve to these two distinguished guests.

Original Nine-Turned Intestines + Traditional Coconut Charcoal Cake?

But, if I do this, won't I be sentenced on the spot for blasphemy and assassinating the Supreme Judge...?

"interesting."

Of course, while Chao Ke enjoys creating mischief, he isn't particularly interested in things that could get him into trouble.

We still need to make some proper arrangements.

Chapter 153 Meeting Preparations

In the end, Chao Ke didn't do anything reckless and dutifully arranged meals for the two distinguished guests.

For Funina, Chao Ke prepared a menu consisting of [Fruit Fairy Cheese], [Almond Tofu], [Squirrel Fish], and [Golden Shrimp Balls].

On the one hand, it includes drinks, snacks, desserts and main courses, which is quite in line with the requirements of Fontainebleau people for formal banquets.

On the other hand, Chao Ke also wanted to let Funina experience his expertise in "fried food".

As for Navelette...

For this person, perhaps a cup of mountain spring water would suffice.

But Chao Ke thought about it and realized that these were honored guests he had invited, and serving only a glass of water might be a bit too much of a slacker.

Since this Supreme Judge defines good food as having lots of soup, then I'll just choose a dish that's rich in soup.

Coincidentally, there is such a soup in Fontainebleau, called "A Hundred Flavors in One".

Moreover, Chao Ke also possesses its own recipe.

However, Villette must have enjoyed this dish quite often before, so wouldn't it be a bit unoriginal for her to serve it again?

Chao Ke stroked his chin, lost in thought.

In the end, Chao Ke decided not to make "A Hundred Flavors in One Thread" and instead chose a Liyue dish, "Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth".

Actually, "Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth" and "A Hundred Flavors in One Thread" are two dishes from different countries and have many similarities.

The process of making "Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth" involves simmering old chicken and pork bones over low heat to make a rich broth, which is then poured over the tender heart of the cabbage.

【百味一缕】(Baiwei Yilu) involves first blending meat and vegetables into a paste, then stewing it with broth, and finally filtering out impurities to obtain a clear broth for consumption.

Both dishes utilize stock and strive for a harmonious blend of meat and vegetable flavors, but they take different approaches.

Chao Ke walked into the kitchen of [Jia Zi Wei Restaurant], intending to first start simmering the broth used to make [Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth].

As the soul of many Liyue dishes, Master Mao naturally taught Chao Ke how to make broth, and even shared many of his family's secret recipes with him.

In Chao Ke's opinion, the apprenticeship fee he paid to Master Mao was indeed well spent.

Chao Ke purchased a lot of ingredients for making broth from the system's [Ingredient Supply Area].

Just as Chao Ke was about to close the system interface, he suddenly thought of something.

Continuing to browse the catalog of the [Ingredient Supply Area], Chao Ke indeed found many kinds of unique and high-quality water.

There is a clear, cool spring flowing from the bamboo forest in the mountains, carrying a hint of bamboo charm.

There is glacial water that has just melted from a pure glacier, and even carries a hint of pure coldness.

There is a "geological spring" that springs up from deep underground and is filtered through multiple layers of natural rocks.

There is “absolutely pure water” that has undergone various methods to remove all kinds of impurities from the water.

And a wide variety of other high-quality waters with distinctive regional characteristics.

After careful consideration, Chao Ke ultimately chose the "Bamboo Forest Spring," which carries a hint of the charm of mountain bamboo, as the fresh water for simmering the broth.

To be honest, this is an extremely extravagant practice. The cost of the ingredients in this pot of broth is probably less than one-tenth of the cost of the water.

Chao Ke deliberately left a little bit, poured it into a beverage glass, and kept it for himself to taste and see why it was so expensive.

With one sip, Chao Ke used the same methods he used to appreciate red wine to savor this glass of "Bamboo Forest Spring".

Using the muscles in the mouth, a series of movements allows the "Bamboo Forest Spring" to spread throughout the mouth, enabling every taste receptor in the mouth to perceive the liquid.

Next, Chao Ke inhaled some air through his nose, letting the air carry the flavor of the bamboo forest spring, circulating it in his mouth and nasal cavity, stimulating his senses to the limit to savor this precious aquatic product.
