[Genshin Impact]: I can become stronger by cooking

"Okay, but you have to wait for me. It will probably be late at night when I finish writing today's manuscript."

"It's okay. It's late at night and not many people will bother you."

"That's true."

The chef of the Debo Hotel smiled and handed the fried food platter he had prepared to the editor-in-chief of the Chef newspaper.

The two are actually good friends who have known each other for many years, and their pursuit of delicious food is the bond that connects this relationship.

The editor-in-chief took the fried food platter and began to savor it carefully.

Generally speaking, a platter is just a simple stacking of food.

But that’s not the case with the chef’s fried food platter.

Foods of different tastes and colors are arranged in a planned manner.

Not only does it look pleasing to the eye, but you can also feel the surprise from your taste buds when you eat it.

The chef put some ingenuity into frying these ingredients.

The editor-in-chief of Chef newspaper glanced into the kitchen through the window.

Sure enough, this guy coated the fried food with a layer of sauce and then coated it with batter.

Although this fried food platter looks golden in appearance, it contains a variety of flavors.

As you eat it bite by bite, different ingredients, different tastes, and different sauces make up the same delicious taste.

It is like a variety of musical instruments playing a magnificent symphony on the taste buds.

The editor-in-chief of the newspaper gave his old friend a thumbs-up and said, "Great."

The chef smiled and said nothing more.

......

The mini restaurant where Ruger is.

Outside the restaurant, there were many food judges surrounding it. Compared with the other restaurants, this place was very lively.

In the kitchen, Ruger and his [Fried Pancake Burger] were highly praised by many judges, as if Ruger had created a new cuisine...

Even Ruger, who was the center of attention, frowned, but he didn't say anything.

After all, this unfair road to victory is also my own choice.

Ruger was not ready to swallow some sand on this shortcut.

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

Outside the mini restaurant of Jiaziwei Restaurant (Huihe District Branch).

As the judges gradually surrounded the restaurant, Chao Ke began to prepare to serve the food.

Put the fried squirrel fish into the oil pan and fry it again.

Next, fry the prepared tomato juice, and when the fried [squirrel fish] is taken out, pour a spoonful of hot juice on it.

"Head tilted up, tail lifted, milk poured over the squeak."

"It looks like a squirrel and tastes as sweet as honey and cheese."

The [Squirrel Fish] that fully met these requirements was served to the judges' table.

Looking at such a dish, some judges were surprised, some were even more impressed, while several had sudden changes of expression and looked puzzled.

Chao Ke looked at the expressions of the customers and roughly knew which ones were real diners and which ones came with a mission.

I couldn't help but smile. It would be quite difficult for them to find fault with this [Squirrel Fish].

Because Chao Ke removed the "thorn" very cleanly.

The judges had a hard time judging Ke's booth, but at another booth, judging was extremely easy.

In front of Louis's mini restaurant.

The judges' eyes lit up when they saw the fish and chips that Louis had just taken out of the frying pan.

"Stable!"

Although the first place was extremely difficult to choose, the last place selection...

It doesn't take much effort.

----------

After all, this time the judges are only a group of 100 people, and the total number is much smaller than the first round.

So, after an hour and a half, the judges completed their evaluation work and submitted their evaluation reports to the organizer.

On the stage, several representatives of the [Fontaine Catering Industry Alliance] looked at the evaluation forms collected with an embarrassed look on their faces.

One representative muttered quietly, "Didn't that gentleman plant a lot of people? How could this result happen?"

According to the feedback from the evaluation form, the real ranking of this evaluation should be that [Jia Ziwei Restaurant] ranks first and third, [Debo Hotel] ranks second, and [Ruger Restaurant] only ranks fourth.

The other representatives were speechless. After a long while, someone told the truth.

"It's probably because the food of that restaurant is so good that it can conquer prejudice and discrimination, so that they dare not and do not want to give a low score."

After the truth was told, the atmosphere fell into silence again.

But in the end, this competition has to have an evaluation result.

The oldest representative of the [Fontaine Catering Industry Alliance] sighed, "Just give me all the evaluation lists, and don't worry about it."

"..."

More than ten minutes later, amid the eager anticipation of the spectators, the organizers of the evaluation finally announced the results of the second round of evaluation.

Just this ranking...

I’m afraid it doesn’t match most people’s expectations, except for the last one.

[Results of the second round of evaluation]

First place: [Ruge Restaurant], work [Fried Pancake Burger]

Second place: [Jia Ziwei Restaurant (Huihe District Branch)], work [Squirrel Fish]

Third place: [Debo Hotel], work [Fried Food Platter]

Fourth place: [Jia Ziwei Restaurant (Main Branch)], [Meat Burger]

...

16th place: [Vasari Galleria Food Stall], work [Fish and Chips (Two Dipping Sauces)]

Looking at the evaluation results, not to mention others, even Chao Ke could hardly hold back.

However, the reason why Chao Ke couldn't hold back was different from the reason why others questioned the results.

Chao Ke already knew that he would be targeted in this game and was not surprised by this result.

What really surprised Chao Ke was the name and ingenuity of Ruger's work.

【Fried bread burger】...

Chao Ke even went to Ruger to take a look, and it was exactly as he imagined.

“Hand-made dough, baked on site...”

How similar.

Even Chao Ke couldn't help but sigh that there has never been a lack of geniuses on this chopping board.

In his previous life, this concept plus the name "Fried Pancake Burger" might have been something this guy could actually make successful.

Different from Chao Keqingqi's point of view, the crowd watching the event had a very high level of discussion about the result.

Because in this second round, not many Fontaine residents actually participated in the evaluation.

As to whether the evaluation results are objective and fair, we can only ask the people who have experienced it.

Fortunately, most of the judges were willing to share their insights.

Except for the specially invited guests from the newspaper, almost all the professional judges praised the [Fried Patty Burger] of [Ruger Restaurant].

However, when it comes to "Jia Ziwei Restaurant", these professional judges either hesitated or hastily gave a summary in just a few sentences.

As for the public judges, all of them gave high praise to Jia Ziwei Restaurant, especially the Squirrel Fish of Jia Ziwei Restaurant (Huihe District Branch), which left a particularly deep impression on them.

But at the same time, the public judges also gave high praise to the [Fried Patty Burger] from [Ruger's Restaurant], saying it was quite creative and tasted delicious.

For a time, even professional newspaper reporters were at a loss as to whether there was any water in the ranking.

Only the editor-in-chief of Steam Bird News, Ou Fu, and the editor-in-chief of Chef newspaper, discovered a clue.

But this kind of thing requires evidence, especially for a large-scale event like this held in the core area of ​​Fontaine.

Without solid evidence, no one dared to publicly question the ranking results in the newspaper.

At most, they can hint at the lack of transparency in the judging process of the competition.

...

Louise walked up to Chao Ke, looking a little depressed.

"I'm sorry Mr. Chao Ke, even with your help, I couldn't get into the top three."

Chao Ke patted Louise's shoulder and comforted her in a soft voice.

"It doesn't matter. This list won't exist for long anyway."

"Eh? Mr. Chao Ke, what do you mean?"

He smiled at Ke and said without further explanation.

"Louise, you have been working for a long time and haven't had a holiday. Go back and inform Ashley and the others that the restaurant will be closed for a few days so that you can all have a few days off."

"what?"

Chao Ke looked in the direction of Mo Mang Palace. He thought that by now it was already this late, that person should have received his invitation.

.....

On the rooftop of Momang Palace, in Funina’s room.
