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

Three dishes, three creative ideas, three different culinary styles from different countries.

Even though Ruger used all sorts of underhanded tricks and dirty tricks along the way, it couldn't hide the fact that he was a genius in the culinary arts.

"Sigh, what a pity."

Since his rival had brought out Inazuma's signature dish, Asaka, who was cooking Liyue cuisine, completely gave up the idea of ​​losing.

In this competition, he not only wants to win the championship, but also wants to win it with overwhelming force.

Chao Ke slowly opened his eyes, and even his heartbeat quickened.

I'm not making Lotus Pastries anymore. For this final battle, I'll make Lion Awakening Pastries, which symbolize the awakening of a great nation.

At this moment, Chao Ke's hands moved nimbly, the process was smooth, and even the carving of the "Awakening Lion" pastry was carried out more smoothly than ever before.

This time, Chao Ke has a reason not to lose.

As time goes by, the sand in the hourglass will soon run out.

The host and Ruger exchanged a quick glance. After receiving the signal that Ruger was ready, the host was about to announce that the preparation phase was over and the judges could begin to enter!

But at that moment, a wave of clamor arose from the crowd below the stage.

"Lady Funina!"

"Lady Funina has arrived!"

The host on stage looked stunned, clearly startled by this sudden turn of events.

The host quickly looked at Luger in the audience, wanting to ask for his opinion.

Meanwhile, Luger, who was sitting in the audience, didn't care about avoiding any appearance of impropriety and directly reminded the host to quickly finish the preparation stage and let the judges come in to taste the food!

The host, having received the order, was about to announce the matter.

But at that moment, Funina spoke first, interrupting the host.

Chapter 160 Shocking! Funina Determines Justice for Chao Ke [Bonus Chapter]

"Host, wait a minute, I have something to say!"

As soon as Funina spoke, all eyes in the room turned to her.

The host, holding the microphone, froze on the spot.

He knew it was too late, not to mention that announcing things now would be defying the will of the gods.

Even if he were to disobey regardless of the consequences, judging from the expressions of the onlookers, no one would care about his words at all.

After all, Lady Funina's popularity over the past five hundred years is something that no ordinary person could achieve.

"My people, whether well-fed, hungry, with food, or with nothing at all, raise your arms and cheer for my arrival!"

"Lady Funina!"

"Lady Funina!"

“…”

The crowd cheered and shouted in unison, a scene that Chao Ke had only ever seen at a certain Misaka Mikoto's concert in his previous life.

Looking at Funina, who was radiant and full of confidence, it was a sight to behold.

Chao Ke couldn't connect it with the little crybaby from last night no matter what.

I never would have guessed, Funina, you have such a surprising side...

The crowd of onlookers in Fontainebleau tacitly parted to make way for their big star, their god, to pass.

When Fu Ningna walked onto the stage, she didn't need to take over the host's topics; her voice alone was enough to reach the ears of every audience member.

To achieve this, one reason was that Furnessa had developed a beautiful voice due to her experience with opera.

On the other hand, it was thanks to the cooperation of the people of Fontainebleau.

The moment Funina opened her mouth, the audience fell silent instantly, everyone consciously keeping quiet, unwilling to miss a single sound from Funina.

"As you can see, I have arrived at the finals of this competition."

"I saw the people's love for food, so I made a special trip to attend the final round of this competition."

"According to the laws of Fontaine, as the God of Water, I have the right to participate in the judging of any competition within the territory of Fontaine and to have the greatest say."

"Today, I will exercise my power to guarantee the most impartial answer in this final culinary competition!"

"Rejoice, my people!"

As soon as Funina finished speaking, the surging crowd seemed to boil over.

People cheered, people jumped, people rejoiced.

Meanwhile, the reporters from various media outlets were flushed and shaking with excitement, as if they had taken some kind of spring medicine, their expressions extremely excited.

I wish I could use all the film I had on me on Lady Funina.

Among the three restaurants surrounding Lu Jingquan, the head chef of the De Bo Hotel stared wide-eyed, his expression one of utter shock.

Even if you beat him to death, he would never guess that the "justice" Chao Ke spoke of would be this kind of "justice"!

In a sense, Chao Ke has brought forward the final interpretation of justice.

After all, the Cardinal of the Oracion, who symbolizes absolute fairness and justice and is located in the Opiclas Opera House, is also a creation of this divine being.

The head chef looked at Chao Ke with a complicated expression. "We need to have a serious talk with Mr. Vanagum (the owner of the De Bo Grand Hotel) about this."

But the same scene was like a thunderclap from a clear sky to the host and Luger.

"The mighty God of Water must vouch for this food competition and give it the fairest answer."

Once Funina said those words, who would dare to engage in any underhanded dealings or shady practices?

Those who had been arranged beforehand no longer dared to cooperate with Luger, let alone engage in even the most basic eye contact with him.

Ruger understood that he couldn't count on these people to pull off a stunt.

However... the competition format hasn't changed; it still starts with me and ends with the owner of [Jia Zi Wei Restaurant].

Ah!

The advantage is mine!

Ruger breathed a sigh of relief, cheering himself on.

Chao Ke, on the other hand, enjoyed watching Silly Fufu's shining moment for a few moments.

He silently sighed to himself.

"Thank you for using your position to force the other judges to remain impartial, Furina."

"Since you have given me a fair environment, then my Liyue cuisine will never be defeated by Inazuma cuisine."

A glint of light flashed in Chao Ke's eyes, and his hands, which were shaping the "Awakening Lion Pastry," became not only faster but also more stable.

When Lady Funina announced that she was exercising her power to join the judging panel, the host looked helpless.

He could only force a smile to welcome Lady Funina and announce on the spot that the preparation time was over and the judging panel could taste the three restaurants in order.

In the restaurant, 【Luger Restaurant】.

Today, Ruger was dressed as a chef from Inatsuma. After the judges were seated, he first gave them a polite bow.

Funina didn't seem to mind, but several of Luger's retainers among the judges were so startled they nearly jumped up.

Ruger first handed out his own dipping sauce to the judges, and then began his preparation.

Traditional tempura usually starts with shrimp because shrimp has a milder flavor.

After that, the dishes served will become increasingly flavorful.

The shrimp that Ruger fried were all carefully prepared by him.

First, remove the shell, then remove the intestines, and then make nearly ten cuts on the shrimp body to straighten the shrimp meat so that it will not curl up in the oil.

Funina examined the shrimp tempura in the bowl for a while. The presentation was indeed exquisite, and the batter adhered perfectly, being both thin and even, while also retaining moisture.

Tempura shrimp is all about frying on the outside and boiling on the inside.

In fact, if the technique is correct, deep-frying is indeed a cooking method that can preserve the original flavor of food to the greatest extent.

After the judges finished their first dish, Ruger served everyone a second batch of fried food.

Tempura Vegetables

Ruger served different dishes depending on the different judges.

Some people make fried lettuce, some make fried lotus root slices, and some make fried jasmine flowers.

For some, it's like a deep-fried eggplant with exceptionally rich juice.

Although they are called seasonal vegetables, these vegetables are not necessarily in season right now.

But its deliciousness is undeniable.

After the judges finished tasting the tempura vegetables, Luger served several more dishes of perilla leaf blind box tempura.

Some perilla leaves are wrapped around squid, creating a contrast between the crisp and sweet taste in the mouth, which is quite interesting.

Some of the perilla leaves were filled with sea urchins. After being wrapped in batter and perilla leaves, the bright yellow sea urchins were dipped into the oil.

With one bite, the aroma of perilla leaves envelops the slightly melted sea urchin, a flavor and texture that cannot be achieved by any other cooking method.

Standing in the kitchen, Ruger breathed a slight sigh of relief after observing that Lady Funina, like the other judges, had a satisfied expression on her face.

However, the judges have eaten quite a bit and are about to pass the optimal period of hunger.

Ruger quickened his pace and hurriedly brought out his best skills.
