[Genshin Impact]: I can become stronger by cooking

He looked up and made eye contact with the person standing next to him, confirming that Afendi had the same idea as himself.

But the old man still listened patiently.

"And the result of his divination was to let me go to the [Gathering Sand Hall] to find a man named Afendi and ask him for three recipes."

"These three recipes are [Butter Chicken], [Rice Round Tower], and [Beast Rice Fragrance]."

After Chao Ke finished his story, the old man was silent for a moment.

He was weaving words in his mind, trying to find a tactful way to remind Chao Ke that he had been deceived.

After all, the scholars of Ritovanti Academy use the starry sky as their research center to study truth and destiny...

However, astrology requires a very high level of knowledge and understanding.

Ordinary astrologers may not be able to predict their own destiny accurately, let alone predict the future for others.

The great astrologers who are well versed in this, although their divination results are relatively accurate, are also very averse to changing the predetermined fate. How could they turn a blind eye to it for the sake of a businessman?

Besides, the way of changing luck that Chao Ke mentioned didn't sound very reliable. How could one change luck by asking others for recipes?

To sum up, although both the old man and Afendi did not say it explicitly, they both believed that Chao Ke was deceived.

Finally, the old man asked tactfully.

"Sir, I would like to ask which Minglun scholar did you find and how much did you spend?"

"Or, how did you get in touch with that Minglun scholar?"

Chao Ke was stunned. The old man's words really stumped him.

I was just speaking casually, how could I call out the name of a non-existent person?

However, I know quite a few names of Minglun School scholars.

Hawa, Kushenki, Hypatia, Laila...

Otherwise, just report one at random?

But it seems not very good to the owner...

"Have it!"

Chao Ke suddenly had an epiphany, and an extremely suitable name appeared in his mind.

If he used this name, Chao Ke would not feel the slightest bit of guilt.

"Old sir, I remember the name of the Minglun scholar who told me the divination!"

"Oh? Tell me."

"Azar!"

The old man didn't react for a while, but Afendi behind him was choked hard.

Seeing Afendi's horrified expression, the old man also reacted, who is this Azar...

There is only one scholar named Azar in the Minglun School, and he is the current great sage.

The old man was speechless for a moment. He lost his patience and spoke bluntly to Chao Ke.

"That is the name of our great sage. You have been deceived. Tell me how much you have been deceived and how you were deceived."

"Explain clearly, maybe we can help you get some back."

Chao Ke looked a little embarrassed. If he had known this earlier, he would not have used this excuse.

However, since the drama has already begun, Chao Ke, the "old artist", naturally would not be stage-frightened and began to perform.

Seeing this, Chao Ke's face turned serious and he said to Afendi and the old man.

"No need to explain! Huh!"

"That kind scholar not only didn't ask me for a single Mora, he also predicted all the difficulties I would encounter from you."

"You are the result of my misfortune!"

"According to what that Minglun scholar said, as long as I get these recipes from you, I can clear the fog and usher in a turning point!"

Seeing Chao Ke's look, Afendi and the old man looked at each other and fell silent.

After a long time, the old man tugged at Affendi and asked, "Did you have any difficulty writing down those recipes? For example, family secret recipes or something like that?"

Afendi shook his head. "No, I even learned all these recipes from Xumi's library."

The old man held his aching head and spoke to Afendi.

"There's nothing to lose anyway, just write him a copy."

Afendi nodded to show that he understood, then he leaned over the desk and handed three written recipes to Chao Ke in a short while.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the recipe - Butter Chicken]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the recipe - Rice Round Tower]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the recipe - Beast Rice Xiangxiang]

Chapter 181 Food, just...

After walking towards Ke.

Afendi looked at the 30,000 Mora left on the table by Chao Ke with an embarrassed look.

I looked at the senior next to me, not knowing how to handle the money.

The old man smiled, picked up the Mora from the table and put it into Afendi's pocket.

"Take it, and consider it as the income from your labor."

"The so-called 'Minglun School scholars' he met probably didn't have any bad intentions. Letting him go through this experience can also serve as a psychological comfort."

Afendi groaned for a few seconds and said nothing more.

...

Xumi City, Lambad Tavern.

It was noon, a busy time for business.

The owner, Lambad, was greeting all the guests warmly. His generous personality made him quite popular among the people.

Lambad had just finished greeting a table of guests and had not had time to rest when he heard the sound of the store door opening.

"Brother Lambad, long time no see!"

Lambad looked at the newcomer, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

"Hey! Isn't this Brother Chao Ke?"

"Come on, come on, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Chao Ke smiled back, "Well, after all, I'm working in Fontaine, so I don't have much time to come to Xumi."

"That's it."

As Lambad spoke, he arranged a comfortable position for Chao Ke.

"Would you like something or would you like to use the kitchen like last time?"

"All of them."

"Brother, give me some fish rolls first. I'll use your kitchen after lunch."

"No problem, Brother Chao Ke."

Chao Ke was particular about his work, so Lambad naturally agreed very happily.

Not long after, the waiter in the tavern brought the meal Chao Ke ordered.

A stack of [Lambad fish rolls] with the scent of Sumeru roses, and a glass of bubbly wine.

Chao Ke glanced at Lambad, and from his hearty laughter, he understood that this glass of wine was a gift from his brother.

but...

Alcohol affects congestion and kills sperm, which really affects the subsequent exercise experience...

After thinking about it, Chao Ke did not let Uncle Lambad down. He placed his five fingers on the wall of the wine glass and silently operated the power of the fire element.

Chao Ke gently shook the wine in the glass, waves of fruity aroma rose, and the alcohol contained in the wine also evaporated.

Chao Ke took a sip. Although the taste was much weaker, it had completely turned into a healthy, non-alcoholic drink.

After savoring today's lunch, Chao Ke waited patiently for a while.

Only after the busy meal time was over did Chao Ke start to use the kitchen of the Lambad Tavern.

This is the second thing Chao Ke wants to do.

We have been apart for such a long time, I should prepare a small gift for Falushan.

For a [Demon of Kitchen], nothing can express his feelings better than a dish.

In the kitchen, Lambad finished his work and poured himself a full glass of beer.

While drinking happily, he watched Chao Ke who was cooking.

After just a few glances, Lambad knew the dish Chao Ke was going to make, [Traditional Coconut Charcoal Pancake].

"Cooking for your one again?"

"Ah."

"Tsk tsk tsk~, when I think about how you, my age, are already enjoying love, while I am still alone at my age. Should I also go and find my own love?"

"Why not give it a try? You returned from the dangerous sea to the stable land, isn't it just to seek a sense of stability?"

"Well, that's true."

During the chat, Chao Ke also finished cooking the [Traditional Coconut Charcoal Cake].

[Spirit Food Power +132]

Chao Ke asked Uncle Lambad for a few food boxes and put the [Traditional Coconut Charcoal Cakes] he had just made into them.

Looking at the exquisiteness of Chao Ke's products, Lambad was also impressed.
