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

The restaurant only serves a few tables of guests during fixed time slots throughout the day. Reservations must be made at least three months in advance for dine-in service.

Moreover, even high-ranking officials and dignitaries are not allowed to cut in line.

Having just arrived, and considering this was his hometown in another world, Chao Ke had no intention of challenging the restaurant's rules or causing trouble.

Although dine-in is not allowed at these two restaurants, takeout is still possible.

I placed my order with the help of waitresses at both restaurants.

The two restaurants were reasonably fast in serving the food. After waiting for about half an hour at a nearby teahouse, the staff from both restaurants brought over the food.

"Greetings, sir. I am a layman from [Liuli Pavilion]. These are the [Tian Shu Pork] and [Yan Gang Three Delicacies] you ordered."

"Greetings, sir. I am a waiter from [New Moon Pavilion]. These are your orders: [Golden Shrimp Balls], [Bright Moon Eggs], and [Golden Crab]."

After the deliverymen from both restaurants brought the food, the one from [New Moon Pavilion] even glanced smugly at the idle man from [Glass Pavilion], as if to say with pride that his food was more popular.

Actually, this teahouse is quite interesting.

We welcome guests to bring food from other restaurants and enjoy it in the restaurant.

Guests can even pay an extra service fee to have the waiters in the teahouse take the takeout boxes to the kitchen, arrange the dishes on plates, and then serve them.

And what's more, this perfectly good teahouse is even selling white rice...

It's quite unique.

[You guys are really amazing, the rating went up another 0.2. I'm going to grab some food, I'll come back and write another chapter.]

Chapter 80: A Foodie's Visit - Too Much Food, The Real and Fake Asako's Talk [Bonus Chapter]

[Bonus chapter added to improve the rating from 6.7 to 6.8]

After talking with the waiter in the teahouse, Chao Ke learned how the teahouse had developed into what it is today.

Originally, this teahouse was no different from other teahouses. Not only did it not provide customers with any extra services, but it also did not allow outside dishes to enter.

However, this teahouse is too close to the [Liuli Pavilion] and [Xinyue Pavilion], so most diners who make reservations choose to wait here.

On the one hand, the guests kept making requests, and on the other hand, there was indeed money to be made in it.

Left with no other choice, the teahouse owner adjusted the teahouse's business strategy and began to fully cooperate with [Liuli Pavilion] and [Xinyue Pavilion].

Many diners who couldn't get reservations at [Liuli Pavilion] or [Xinyue Pavilion] ended up holding their banquets at this teahouse, which can be considered a roundabout way to achieve their goal.

As for [Liuliting] and [Xinyuexuan], they seem to have tacitly approved of this teahouse's approach, and even reminded diners after they ordered that they could wait for their food at this teahouse.

After hearing the whole story, Chao Ke couldn't help but sigh.

"interesting."

"The move by [Liuli Pavilion] and [Xinyue Pavilion] is essentially a free use of the teahouse's space and staff to improve their own reception capacity. Their methods are indeed ingenious."

"Moreover, this move provides a compromise for diners who want to dine in, greatly reducing the pressure on restaurants."

Even so, the quality of the dishes will be slightly inferior after going back and forth.

"But there aren't many true gourmets among the diners. Most people care more about the brand names of [Liuli Pavilion] and [Xinyue Pavilion], which are the best of the best in glass dishes and moon dishes, and it's more prestigious to entertain guests."

Chao Ke breathed a sigh of relief, "As expected of Liyue Harbor, a place teeming with merchants."

"What are you thinking about? If you don't eat now, the food will get cold."

Farusan's reminder brought Chao Ke back to his senses, and he stopped thinking about it.

Picking up his bowl and chopsticks, Chao Ke also began to eat, to assess the skill level of his fellow Liyue companions.

The restaurant reviews are overwhelmingly positive, and there's a lot of talk about whether it's real or fake.

Today, in Liyue Harbor, at the [Lily Pavilion] and [New Moon Pavilion] restaurants.

Two people, 3 x 600 Mora, excluding service fees.

While his palate was still a bit bland, Chao Ke decided to try the "Bright Moon Egg" first.

【Bright Moon Egg】In both shape and preparation, it is quite similar to the shumai from the previous life.

Judging from its golden-yellow outer skin, it must have had egg liquid added when kneading the dough, but the filling inside the "Mingyue Egg" is not glutinous rice, but a substantial meat filling.

As a classic moon dish, the filling here is a mixture of shrimp and fish, and one bite is incredibly fresh and fragrant.

The flavor of the sea fish and the firmness of the fresh shrimp create a perfect combination of bouncy and tenderness, with the delicious juices hitting the sweet spot on your taste buds.

Chewing slowly, the lingering sweetness from the shrimp meat is like the finishing touch that brings the painting to life.

Before my eyes, it seems as if there is a bright moon and a pool of autumn water, with fishing boats moored on the shore and fishermen's songs echoing throughout the bountiful year.

The name "Mingyue Egg" is said to come from its shape, which resembles a cloud embracing the moon.

The quality of this dish is quite good; according to the system's standards, it should probably score above 80 points.

After tasting the [Bright Moon Egg], Chao Ke set his sights on the [Golden Crab].

Speaking of which, it seems that the white-haired queen in the sky doesn't really appreciate the aesthetics of this dish.

However, Chao Ke didn't have such high aesthetic standards; on the contrary, he thought the golden appearance was quite nice.

【Golden Crab】In terms of preparation, it is similar to the Typhoon Shelter Fried Crab from my previous life. The steps are roughly to chop the crab into pieces, coat them with flour, deep-fry them in a generous amount of oil, and then stir-fry them with seasonings.

The final dish is golden in color and has a rich aroma.

Pick up a crab leg and savor it slowly; your lips and teeth will be filled with the charm of this water town.

The Moon Cuisine, which represents seafood, is all about the quality of the ingredients.

The natural sweetness of fresh seafood is better than any artificial seasoning or processing.

After eating two dishes of moon vegetables, Chao Ke decided to try a dish of glass vegetables to change things up.

【Yan Gang Three Delicacies】

The so-called "three delicacies" refer to potatoes, glass pouches, and matsutake mushrooms, all three of the most abundant ingredients in Liyue.

Although it is vegetarian, the fragrance of the soil, the coolness of the shade, and the moistness of the mist combine to create a rich and delicious flavor that is in no way inferior to those delicacies served on a jade plate.

He picked up a few pieces of rice with his chopsticks, mixed them with the white rice, and ate them with gusto.

Compared to the exquisite [Bright Moon Egg] and the luxurious [Golden Crab], the vegetarian dish [Yan Gang Three Delicacies] appears extremely simple.

But it is precisely this simple flavor that makes it easier to touch people's hearts, bringing a sense of comfort and satisfaction to both the taste buds and the soul.

With the "Yangang Three Delicacies" as a side dish, Chao Ke ate more than half a bowl of rice.

But Chao Ke is ultimately a meat lover. After eating so many vegetables, he also wanted to have a big piece of meat to satisfy his craving.

So, Chao Ke's chopsticks were aimed at the [Tian Shu meat].

This shape, this color—it looks like Dongpo pork from a bygone era...

But that's perfect; such a large piece of meat, with a good balance of fat and lean, is just what I'm craving.

Pick up a piece and put it in the bowl. The aroma is rich and lingering.

One big bite, and you can feel the joy and satisfaction from your biological instincts.

This piece of "Tian Shu meat" was stewed for a long enough time, and the seasonings were extremely flavorful, so Chao Ke didn't feel too greasy.

The area around the [Tian Shu Rou] is decorated with refreshing leaves.

Gently pick up a slice, put it in your mouth and chew it slowly. Instantly, most of the greasy feeling in your mouth will dissipate.

It is said that this dish, "Tian Shu Meat," was created by Tian Shu Star, one of the Seven Stars in a certain period.

"He's a foodie."

Finally, the only dish that Chao Ke hadn't tried was the moon vegetable dish known as the "cat trap," the Golden Shrimp Ball.

only...

Looking at the empty plate in front of him, Chao Ke fell into deep thought.

"Where did my huge plate of golden shrimp balls go?"

Looking up at Farusan, she saw the last golden shrimp ball being put into her mouth.

Now, half of the shrimp tail is still sticking out, which is quite adorable.

"Why are you looking at me like that... These shrimp balls are so delicious... Before I knew it, I had finished them all."

"It's okay, I'll just taste your lips in a bit."

"Eh?"

Chapter 81 "Eating Tiger Rock"

These guys are really awesome, the rating's gone up again. I'm off to write now...

The next day.

There's an old saying in Liyue: "The early bird catches the worm."

As an ambassador for Liyue's traditional culture, the Grand Master of the Court naturally had to teach Falushan, this Sumeru person, a proper lesson.

Let her understand through her own experience the meaning of this ancient saying and the profoundness of the Liyue language.

After a heated explanation and discussion, the high-ranking official left the room satisfied.

Meanwhile, inside the room, Senior Farusan seemed to have been instilled with too much forbidden knowledge and needed to rest on the bed for a while.

After having breakfast together.

The two parted ways at the hotel entrance to go about their own business.

Chao Ke had already made arrangements for today's schedule, which was to visit Master Mao at "Tiger Rock" in Liyue Harbor.

After all, most of the recipes available in Liyue Harbor are found in the Wanmin Hall restaurant.

There are as many as fourteen kinds, which is more than enough for Chao Ke to break through to the next level of cooking.

Chao Ke did not intend to walk the distance from Baiju Inn to "Chihu Rock".

Although the distance wasn't very far, Chao Ke didn't choose to walk there.

The reason was that he saw a very unique mode of transportation and wanted to try it out.
