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

Of course, most of those queuing up were ordinary students, and a few were "Diliyesi" (scholars who traveled around studying).

After all, the next level up, the [Tasata] (scholars who can independently research topics and create academic value), can recruit students (cheap labor), so there is no need to do small things like ordering a ship personally.

It is truly unique for someone like Senior Farusan, who is already a [Habantha], to personally come and book a boat.

Fortunately, the scholars in line recognized Farusan, this "senior," and out of respect for their teacher, they all made way for her to complete the necessary procedures first.

Farusan expressed her gratitude to the students, and then, guided by the staff, picked up the small boat she had rented and set off from the port of Sumeru with Chao Ke.

The crescent-shaped boat had only one seat on one side.

Therefore, Chao Ke and Senior Falushan sat close together, while the items purchased by the senior were thrown on the other side of the small boat.

As Chao Ke rowed, the crescent-shaped boat set sail against the sea breeze.

The midday sun illuminated the lovers' bright smiles, while the splashes of water stirred up by the oars brought with them the unique and complex flavor of the Sumeru River.

Following the path down from Tianbi Pond, Chao Ke and Senior Falushan embarked on their own "honeymoon trip."

Chapter 191 Academic Topics from Chao Ke

The waterways of Mount Sumeru meander and twist, and the arms of lovers are soft and delicate.

The crescent-shaped boat moved leisurely forward as Chao Ke rowed at a leisurely pace.

The two set off from Sumeru City at noon and did not arrive at Vimo Village until evening.

As a key area on the Sumeru Waterway, Vimalakirti Village sees a large number of caravans and travelers passing through every year.

However, due to its proximity to Port Omos, Vimo Village did not retain much profit, but it was able to preserve the tranquility of a village.

Busy passersby and leisurely villagers create a stark contrast in Vimo Village.

Many scholars overwhelmed by papers and coursework, many businessmen weary of their busy careers, and even the legendary mercenary Jieye, codenamed "Lion," chose to live in seclusion in this more humid and warm environment.

So much so that a legend of cannibalism has spread outside Vimo Village.

Farusan brought Chao Ke here to relax, partly because she wanted to unwind from the recent busyness of writing papers and rushing to finish reports.

On the other hand, it was also to let Chao Ke experience the peaceful and relaxed local customs of Vimo Village, so that Chao Ke could have a better understanding of his country.

But since he was already there, while strolling around with Senior Falushan, Chao Ke also had two things he wanted to find out.

After wandering around for a while, the two found Amaziya, the village chief of Vimo Village, and Chao Ke also asked the village chief his question.

First, there's the situation regarding Dolly's older sister, the cunning businesswoman.

Chao Ke learned this from the village chief, Amazya.

Since Mora was lent to Dolly to buy medicine, Dolly's health quickly recovered with the help of the medication and the doctor's treatment.

Now, the two sisters have left Vimalakirti Village together and arrived in the much larger city of Sumeru in search of business opportunities to pay off their debts.

After finishing his explanation, the village chief Amaziya sighed and said with a somewhat forlorn expression.

"Sigh, I wonder how those two children are doing in Sumeru City... Have they been bullied by anyone there..."

“Uncle, why not have more faith in the children? The city of Sumeru is a place where danger and opportunity coexist. If the children are capable, that will be a better stage for them.”

"Yes, that's true."

Village chief Amazia nodded repeatedly, but his tone suddenly changed, and he asked Chao Ke a question in a somewhat stiff manner.

"Excuse me, how did you learn about Dolly?"

With his keen insight, Chao Ke saw a fleeting glint of sharpness in the eyes of the village chief, Amazia.

It seems that this village chief of Vimo Village also has an unusual past.

However, Chao Ke remained calm, put his arm around Falushan beside him, and explained to the village chief.

“I happened to be taking my wife to see a doctor that day and witnessed that scene. Today, I happened to be passing by Vimo Village and wanted to learn more about it.”

"Oh! I see. I thought you were the loan shark..."

The village chief's wariness vanished, and he smiled apologetically at Chao Ke and Fa Lushan.

Chao Ke chuckled, not taking the bait, and continued to ask.

"Uncle Village Chief, there is one more thing I want to ask you."

"Please speak, sir."

"Excuse me, has a child named... named Alfonso recently joined the Vimo Manor?"

"Elfonso...?"

Muttering the name, the village chief Amazya fell into thought.

After a moment, he answered Chao Ke.

"I don't recognize this name; it's probably not from a long-term resident of the village."

Chao Ke frowned slightly. Hadn't that boy, Trofin Schneitzevich, already infiltrated Vimo Manor yet...?

Never mind, I'll come back to Vimalakirti Manor in a few years.

The child in the family found a job that wasn't suitable for them.

As parents, we should help if we can.

After negotiating with the PhD, they also helped their child find a new job.

Vimo Village is a nice place, attracting many merchants and travelers. I'm thinking of opening a branch of [Jia Zi Wei Restaurant] here; the business should be quite good.

After finishing her conversation with the village chief Amazya, Farusan took Chaoke to sample the local delicacies of Vimo Village.

Although the snacks were just average and didn't offer any surprises, the feeling of having his loved one by his side was still quite nice.

However, the plates used at the Vimo Manor Chinese Restaurant caught Chao Ke's attention.

These plates are decorated with intricate patterns in the style of Sumeru. Judging from the glaze, it should be a technique from Liyue, but with some local Sumeru adjustments.

Meanwhile, Farusan, who was standing to the side, noticed Chao Ke's gaze on the plates, so she simply picked up two empty plates and introduced them to Chao Ke.

"The firing of ceramics is a pillar industry in Vimo Village."

"The firing technique for this ceramic comes from the neighboring country of Liyue, but it has also been localized by the Sumeru Academy."

"Although their firing techniques are not as advanced as Liyue's, they have developed their own unique ceramic style by relying on Sumeru's mature fuel technology."

As she spoke, Farusan placed two plates of different colors in front of Chao Ke.

"Guess what the different glaze colors do?"

Chao Ke took the two empty plates and examined them carefully.

If I remember correctly, this plate with its green and orange glaze was just used to serve a meat dish.

The plate, with its pale gold glaze, was filled with fresh vegetables and fruits.

Chao Ke speculated, "Could it be that the orange-green ceramic plate is specifically for serving meat dishes, while this pale gold plate is specifically for serving vegetarian dishes?"

Farusan nodded slightly, confirming Chao Ke's guess.

"Your guess is correct."

"This ceramic plate, glazed with dark orange and green dyes, is professionally known as 'Salty and Meaty Flavor.' This combination of dyes makes the plate less prone to oil stains. Therefore, restaurants in Xumi mostly use it to serve meat dishes or oily vegetarian dishes."

"This painted pottery plate, glazed with a light gold dye, is corrosion-resistant, so it is mostly used in the restaurants of Sumeru to hold fresh vegetables and various dried fruits."

After hearing Senior Falushan's detailed explanation, Chao Ke couldn't help but sigh.

"So that's it..."

"Xumi's ceramics manufacturing industry has indeed forged its own path."

Farusan nodded, "The prosperity of Sumeru ceramics manufacturing was actually the spark ignited by the integration of different knowledge."

"The knowledge of ceramic making from Liyue and the knowledge of dye preparation from Sumeru have merged here to form new knowledge."

"Scholars' research should also follow this approach, allowing knowledge from multiple disciplines to intersect, which will produce unexpectedly fruitful results."

"Oh?"

Chao Ke thought of something and said to Falushan beside him.

"Senior, I also have a topic about the integration of Liyue and Sumeru knowledge that I would like to discuss with you."

"What subject?"

Farusian also became interested and looked at Chao Ke to ask.

Chao Ke then slowly revealed the name of the research topic.

"On the results of hybridization between high-quality male genes from Liyue and high-quality female genes from Sumeru."

"How about it, senior? Are you interested in having a 'deep' 'exchange' with me tonight?"

"You bastard!"

Chapter 192 The Senior's Heartfelt Words

Having eaten and drunk their fill, the two returned to their crescent-shaped boat and began their journey along the stream.

According to Farussan's original plan.

The two should set off by small boat in the early morning, so that they could stop at Vimo Village at noon and arrive at Omo Port at night, where they could return the boat and have a good night's sleep.

but...

Plans can't keep up with changes. No matter how meticulous Farusan's calculations were, she couldn't have imagined that Chao Ke would prepare so many role-playing props last night. The two of them didn't finally stop until the early hours of the morning.

Therefore, since both of them departed at noon today, they naturally could not arrive at Port Omos in the evening.

However, neither of them seemed to be in a hurry.

After all, this honeymoon trip has a long way to go, so there's no need to rush.

Moreover, the feeling of the two of them snuggling together in the boat, gazing up at the starry sky, was also quite pleasant.

The small boat drifted gently, and my mind swayed.

This beautiful and tranquil environment is more suitable for expressing one's innermost feelings.
