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

"boom!"

With a punch to the cutting board, the shop owner, Jahangir, channeled his grief and anger into strength, grabbed an onion from the side, and began to chop it vigorously.

A short while later, after Chao Ke and Fa Lushan finished their deep kiss, Jahangir, expressionless, came over carrying two plates.

"This is curry shrimp, and this is saba san fritters."

"Gentlemen, your dishes have all been served. Enjoy your meal."

Since he still needed to ask for the recipe later, Chao Ke didn't provoke Jia Hanjier any further. Otherwise, Chao Ke could have staged a few more sweet scenes with his senior.

Chao Ke turned his attention to the two new dishes of Sumeru specialty food that had been served on the table and began to taste them.

【Sabasan Fried Dumplings】 are similar in preparation to Liyue's dumplings, both using dough to wrap the filling. However, the difference is that 【Sabasan Fried Dumplings】 use dough to wrap the filling into a triangular shape and then deep-fry it.

At the dinner table, Farusan also told Chao Ke some interesting stories about "Sabasan Fried Corner".

Because the fillings for saba samosas are both meat and vegetarian, two factions have emerged: the meat-loving faction and the vegetarian faction.

The two factions engaged in several heated debates over the filling in the "Sabasan Fried Corner," a crucial piece of land that was the focus of their battles.

However, to this day, no winner has been decided.

After all, smart diners often make the choice of "I want it all".

When introducing another dish, curry shrimp, it was noticeable that Farusan's mood dipped slightly.

From his senior's explanation, Chao Ke also learned the reason.

This [Curry Shrimp] is a national dish in Sumeru. Almost every household, except for the residents living in the desert, knows how to make it.

And every household makes their own curry shrimp, each with a different flavor.

It is said that the taste of home-cooked curry shrimp is the connection between home and taste buds for many people who are away from home.

Chao Ke didn't say anything, but moved a little closer to his senior.

Words are ultimately inadequate at this moment; only the presence of someone important can offer comfort.

"Let's eat."

"Ah."

Chapter 194 An Unexpected Encounter

Chao Ke scooped up a spoonful of curry shrimp and put it in his mouth.

The broth in this dish has a thick and smooth consistency.

Savoring it carefully, you can taste the sweetness of fresh shrimp amidst the rich aroma of curry.

Since it's a food shop located not far from the port, the seafood used by Jahangir must be the freshest batch.

Chao Ke scooped up another shrimp and put it in his mouth to taste. After being stewed, the shrimp meat not only absorbed the rich aroma of the broth, but also had its own freshness and chewy texture.

One bite is truly incredibly satisfying.

After finishing her meal, Farusan rushed ahead of Ke and went to the shop owner, Jahangir, to pay the bill.

"The total is 8275 Mora, but Miss, you can give me 8250 Mora."

"Thank you for your hospitality, the curry shrimp was delicious."

Farusan took out some change from her Mora bag and paid for breakfast.

However, Chao Ke did not leave. Instead, he came over and looked at Jahangir and said.

"Boss, I'd like to ask you for the recipes for those three dishes. The price is negotiable."

"Eh?"

Jahangir looked at Chao Ke with surprise, clearly not expecting Chao Ke to make such a request.

“Sir, I can give you these recipes, but I don’t want your Mora.”

"Oh?"

Now it was Chao Ke's turn to be puzzled. "If you don't want Mora, what do you want?"

"A recipe, a recipe from your hometown, guest!"

“I can tell that you are from another country, and my hobby is collecting recipes from various countries.”

"So, if you would like me to give you anything, the recipe would be better than Mora's."

Chao Ke smiled.

"Interesting. Do you have paper and pen? Give me a set."

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."

Jahangir stopped what he was doing, wiped his hands clean, and took out a stack of papers and two pens from the cabinet. He handed one to Chao Ke and kept the other for himself.

Then, a magical scene appeared.

In a breakfast shop in Port Omos early in the morning, two large men lay on the same surface, both rapidly moving their right hands.

Before long, the physically strong Chao Ke finished writing first, writing down the recipes for five dishes—[Kou San Si], [Creamy Mushroom Soup], [Almond Tofu], [Squirrel Fish], and [Lotus Pastry]—on a piece of paper and handing it to Jahangir.

Jahangir, on the other hand, was much slower. It took him quite a while after Chao Ke finished writing the recipes before he handed them to Chao Ke.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the recipe for Green Juice Crispy Balls]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the recipe for Curry Shrimp]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the recipe for Sabasan Fried Dumplings]

[Number of recipes unlocked in the Food Encyclopedia: 80; Number of recipes at the maximum cooking level: 16]

Jahangir picked up the stack of recipes given to him by Chao Ke, and was somewhat dumbfounded.

"Is this gentleman's hand speed that fast? It's terrifying! How did he learn to do that..."

However, Jahangir's attention did not linger on Ke's hand speed any longer, but instead focused on the contents of the recipes.

For a moment, it was quite shocking.

The reason was simple: the recipe that Chao Ke gave him was extremely detailed.

It not only details the proportions of all the ingredients to an extreme degree, but also provides detailed instructions for each of the more difficult steps.

In some places where language was insufficient to express the meaning, hand-drawn illustrations were even used.

This recipe, in the words of chefs, was completely unreserved; it was written down entirely and verbatim on this stack of recipe books.

In other words, this is a legacy that could "starve the master to death."

Jahangir quickly turned to Chao Ke and thanked him.

"Sir, thank you for passing on your knowledge."

Chao Ke smiled twice and looked at Jahangir.

"Actually, we're quite alike."

"Ok?"

Chao Ke's words not only stunned Jahangir, but even Farusan, who was standing next to him, kept glancing at Chao Ke and Jahangir's faces and muttering to herself.

"You two don't even look alike..."

Chao Ke gently took his senior's hand and explained.

"The similarity I'm referring to isn't about appearance, but rather that we both work in the food service industry, we both own food stores, and we both dream of collecting recipes from all over Teyvat."

"what!"

Jahangir exclaimed in amazement and looked at Chao Ke with excitement. The feeling of discovering another version of himself in the world was quite wonderful.

Jahangir had intended to say something to this like-minded person, but unexpectedly, Chao Ke's tone suddenly changed.

"No, Jahangir, there's still a big difference between us!"

"Huh? What? Tell me quickly."

Chao Ke revealed a meaningful smile, then tugged at his senior's hand, and in front of the shop owner, Jahangir, Chao Ke kissed Farusan tenderly for a while.

Then he said.

"I have the perfect lover, but you don't."

"Ccrunch."

Jahangir gritted his teeth and glared angrily at Chao Ke.

"That's... quite a difference."

Amid Jahangir's distorted farewell, Chao and Ke left the food shop and wandered around Omos Harbor.

The two walked and stopped frequently, with Farusan occasionally explaining the local customs and culture of Xumi to Chaoke, and also marveling at the technological advancements over the past century.

"Chao Ke, look! That's called a port transshipment freight car."

"The chassis is extremely large, and the carrying capacity is very strong. Just a few of these trucks can empty the entire cargo of a cargo ship. It's just a pity that due to material limitations, the wheels of these trucks cannot be made large, so they cannot be used in the wild and in the mountains."

"Look at that truck again, I bet they're transporting goods into the desert!"

"Oh?"

Chao Ke showed interest, because there was no cargo in the truck, and the driver did not show any characteristics of a desert person. Why was Farusan so sure?

Chao Ke stopped the truck and asked the driver, who turned out to be indeed going to buy goods to do business in the desert outside Kawanyi.

Seeing Chao Ke's expression upon returning, Farusan proudly puffed out her chest and asked smugly.

"So, is your judgment correct, senior?"

Chao Ke was genuinely impressed and asked, "How did you know that?"

“I could tell from his truck.”

"truck?"

Chao Ke repeated, puzzled.

Senior Farusan crossed her arms and explained to Chao Ke.
