Genshin Impact: My entries are irresistible.

Page 281

To protect his friend's and the Grand Hotel's reputation, he destroyed the secret recipe and the cake's ingredients, and then committed suicide. The Debord Grand Cake was thus lost, and the Debord Grand Hotel nearly went bankrupt.

It wasn't until the genius Eccleffi "recreated" the lost Debord Grand Cake that the Debord Grand Hotel's business was revived.

However, Aikefei did not actually "reproduce" the formula, but rather created a new formula based on records.

The re-creation of the Debord Cake caught the attention of Monica, a descendant of the founder who committed suicide.

She found scattered records about the Remurian Treasure in her ancestors' notes and assumed it was some important treasure, which made her covet it.

To find the location of the treasure, you need the "De Bohème" left behind by the two founders, which is actually their travel notes and recipes.

The original copy of "The Great Secrets of Debord" was given to Echofi by the hotel owner. Monica plotted to frame Echofi in order to obtain the secrets.

The reason Monica avoided discussing her motives and readily confessed was that she planned to continue her scheme after serving her sentence.

Even if framing someone would result in a heavier sentence, she'd probably only be locked up for a year or two before being released, so she still has a chance!

If she reveals everything, and Aikofei goes and takes the treasure herself, she'll have gained nothing and completely lost her chance.

But Monica never expected that this guy named Lu Lin, who suddenly appeared, would know everything so well, it was as if he could read minds!

"Hmm. To put your mind at ease, I can tell you the truth: the so-called Remuria Treasure is actually just unpurified Spectral Essence."

It's just that the purification technology wasn't that advanced back then, so it was regarded as some kind of extraordinary treasure.

The treasure you've been searching for has actually always been in your own hands, and it's even a more complete and pure version. Isn't that ironic?

It was quite ironic, really. Knowing the truth, Monica was taken away by Chavory, her eyes vacant and her spirit broken.

Having been exonerated, Aikofei was naturally released on the spot and gained her freedom!

"Chef Aikofi, it's so good to see you back!" The restaurant owner was genuinely overjoyed to see that Aikofi was alright.

"Chef Aikofi, I'm sorry, I..." Savannah stammered, unsure how to face Aikofi, knowing she had made a mistake.

"Alright, Savannah, this wasn't your fault to begin with. You need to pull yourself together. From now on, the Grand Hotel Debord will be counting on you!"

"Huh? You...you're not coming back?" Savannah was stunned, and the restaurant owner didn't react for a moment either.

Previously, due to her imprisonment, Aikofe had resigned from her position as head chef, and Savannah had taken over as head chef of the Grand de Bois Hotel. But now that Aikofe has been exonerated, the position of head chef is naturally hers to take over.

The girl with orange hair smiled brightly and said, "Having stayed at the Debord Grand Hotel for so long, I think I've fulfilled my duties."

To achieve breakthroughs in culinary arts, simply working in isolation won't work. Now that I've resigned, I want to travel more, see more of the world, and create more innovative dishes!

"That's a great idea! You should go out and see more of the world. I support you!" Navia suddenly appeared, smiling and expressing her support.

"But if you leave, Debord's Big Cake will be gone." The restaurant owner was still quite reluctant to lose such a talented person.

"Don't worry, I've kept the cake recipe and instructions. As long as you follow the recipe strictly, the taste won't be different. Savanna is meticulous and has excellent cooking skills; she can handle it!"

Seeing that Aikofe was determined to leave, the hotel owner didn't try to persuade her to stay any longer. He finally said, "Since that's the case, we respect your choice. Whenever you want to come back, the doors of the Debord Hotel will always be open for you!"

"Thank you for your recognition, Mr. Vanagum!" Aikofi thanked him again, then her gaze fell on Navia and Lu Lin.

"President Navia, thank you for your help today, and Mr. Lu Lin, thank you both so much!"

Aiko bowed deeply and thanked the two of them very solemnly.

She was a smart woman, and she could see that if Lu Lin hadn't found out the truth and made Monica give up completely, this matter would have caused a lot of trouble. Lu Lin could be said to have nipped all the trouble in the bud.

“We’re good friends, it’s only right that we help each other, don’t take it to heart!” Navia patted Aikofi’s shoulder cheerfully.

"To express my gratitude, I would like to invite you both to my home. How about I cook a delicious meal?" Aikofei extended an invitation to the two of them.

"Great idea! I've been so busy lately that I haven't been to a restaurant in ages. This is a perfect opportunity for Lu Lin to try your cooking! Speaking of which, Lu Lin is a great cook too. You two could have a cooking showdown!"

Navia got excited as soon as she heard that and pulled Lu Lin to introduce her to Aikefei.

"Oh? President Navia has very high standards for food. I'm looking forward to Mr. Lu's cooking skills since I've gained her approval!" Aikofet became interested as soon as she heard this.

She resigned because she wanted to find a breakthrough and innovation in her culinary skills, and she hoped to communicate with people who were also skilled in cooking.

"Come on, let's go to your house right now!" Navia couldn't wait any longer and pulled the two of them out.

Chapter 518 Lu Lin: This is the milk of a rare and exotic animal

With the matter settled, Clarin and the others who had been watching the commotion dispersed, but didn't join in the fun, as everyone still had work to do.

Charlotte did want to do an exclusive interview with Aikofi, but she wasn't in a hurry. As one of the earliest people to follow Lu Lin, she knew her man's habits all too well.

Such a pretty and lovely girl, I might see her in the Dust Song Pot tomorrow.

Aikofei took the two of them out to buy some fresh ingredients and then went home.

She lives alone in Fontainebleau. Her place isn't very big, but it has a large kitchen, which shows that she really enjoys cooking.

"Navia, what would you like to eat? Still cake?" Aikofe washed her hands as soon as she entered the room and went straight to the kitchen to start preparing.

"Mmm, it's been so long since I've had your cake, Aikofi! I've been craving it for ages!"

"No problem, Mr. Lu, can you help me prepare the ingredients?" The process of making the Debord Cake is quite complicated, and it usually requires at least two people to help out if you want to finish it quickly.

However, since it's not a competition to make it at home, it's okay to be a little slow.

Ai Kefei was actually quite curious about Lu Lin's cooking skills and wanted to see for herself.

"Of course, no problem. Miss Aikefei, you don't need to be so polite. Just call me Lu Lin." Lu Lin gave a warm and gentle smile, and the charm he exuded made Aikefei momentarily stunned.

Lu Lin's appearance and temperament are too good, and with the added charm of the entry, he is already extremely attractive to a pure girl like Aikefei.

Not to mention that he had just helped Aikefei clear her name and avoid a lot of trouble, and now Aikefei's liking for this refined man had reached a very high level.

However, she was also very perceptive and had already noticed that Lu Lin and Navia had a close relationship, so she didn't have any strange thoughts for the time being.

"Okay, then don't be shy with me, just call me Aikefei!"

The cook's smile was bright and lovely, like a ray of sunshine shining into people's hearts.

"Hey, I want to help out too, is that okay?" Navia excitedly raised her hand.

Although her cooking skills are only average, she is quite good at making certain desserts such as macarons, so she should be able to help out without any problem.

"Of course, but let me make it clear beforehand that I can be very strict in the kitchen, so be prepared!"

"I know, I know, don't worry!" Navia patted her chest confidently.

With everything ready, the three of them began to busy themselves in the kitchen.

Once inside the kitchen, Aikofe transforms completely, becoming incredibly focused. Her movements are clean, efficient, and decisive, like a commanding general, with everything in the kitchen serving as her army.

As she herself said, after entering the kitchen, Aikofe became quite strict. Even her good friend Navia would be seriously criticized and corrected if she made a mistake.

But even this strict kitchen queen couldn't find a single fault with Lu Lin; Lu Lin's handling of various ingredients and his actions were impeccable.

Seeing how skillfully he handled the dish, Aikefei was convinced that he was a true culinary master, which further increased her positive feelings towards Lu Lin!

"Oh? We've run out of milk at home. Navia, could you please go and buy some milk, preferably as fresh as possible?" Aikofei instructed while busying herself.

"Milk? Can we use other fresh milk instead?" Upon hearing this, Lu Lin had a sudden inspiration and took out a glass bottle from the Dust Song Pot space and handed it to Ai Kefei.

Aikefei didn't react much to Lu Lin's spatial equipment; her attention was all on the fresh milk Lu Lin had taken out.

She opened the bottle and took a sniff. A refreshing cherry blossom scent filled the air. Aikofei couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, what a delicious milk! What kind of milk is this?"

"Is the milk from a rare and exotic beast usable?" Lu Lin asked casually, knowing he couldn't tell Ai Kefei the truth right now.

"This is... from yesterday...?" Navia had also seen the pink-haired fox feeding Lu Lin yesterday, and immediately understood. She couldn't help but secretly admire Lu Lin's shrewdness.

Lu Lin winked at Navia, confirming her guess.

This is indeed the milk that Lu Lin squeezed from the pink-haired fox yesterday. The Dust Song Pot space has an absolute preservation ability, so this bottle of milk is still fresh.

Moreover, the pink-haired fox is a great fox demon from Inazuma and possesses the bloodline of the White Fox King, so it doesn't seem wrong to call her a rare and exotic beast.

“This is absolutely the best ingredient, of course we can use it!” Aikofi didn’t notice the exchange of glances between the two, she was simply happy to have obtained top-quality ingredients.

……

Aikefei not only boasts top-notch culinary skills but also excels in innovation, developing numerous auxiliary machines to aid in cooking, such as the [Full-Spectrum Multi-Task Cooking Mechanism] and the [Adaptive Motion Signal Response Auxiliary Mechanism].

The [Adaptive Motion Signal Response Assistive Device] borrows the concept of a "prosthetic limb". Aicofei has installed it on its back, which can be as dexterous as a tail, making it extremely reliable for picking up tools and ingredients or delivering plates!

The 【Full-Spectrum Multi-Task Culinary Mechanism】integrates functions such as quantitative ingredient measurement, precise temperature control, and humidity regulation. In the hands of Aikefei, it can perform the functions of almost any kitchen utensil.

Furthermore, by having this mechanism randomly execute its work steps, it can even produce "random dishes."

Aikel often uses this function to try food combinations she never thought of before, sometimes with surprises, sometimes with suffering.

Lu Lin studied the [Full Spectrum Multi-Task Culinary Mechanism] and found that it had similar design concepts to the mechanical cooking machine invented by Gui Zhong, but each had its own unique features, making it a very good auxiliary tool.

He didn't hold back and immediately took out a magical cooking machine for Aiko to try.

Aikofei tried it out and was immediately amazed. The mechanical cooking machine was quite compatible with her culinary philosophy, and she immediately fell in love with it.

"Do you like it? If you like it, it's yours!" Lu Lin generously gave the mechanical cooking machine to Aikefei.

"Huh? Such a precious mechanism, you just gave it to me?" Aikofei was somewhat flattered.

"It's rare to meet someone who shares the same culinary skills. I have the complete blueprints for this machine, and I can make another one if needed. Perhaps an improved version will be released in the future."

Um...after you've used it, you can tell me your experience and suggestions, and we can improve it together!

"You also know mechanical arts?!" Aikofee was even more surprised.

What a treasure of a man! He's handsome, a detective, a great cook, and even knows mechanical engineering!

The way she looked at Lu Lin changed!

Chapter 519 Xiangling's New Apron

Aikofi's eyes sparkled as if she had seen some rare treasure, but her gaze then shifted to Navia, with a slight hint of regret.

Unfortunately, this treasure already has an owner, and as a good friend, she can't have any other thoughts about it. However, exchanging cooking tips with someone like that should be very rewarding.

Lu Lin smiled modestly: "My mechanical skills come from the Liyue Master. This mechanical cooking machine was also first invented by a Liyue Master."

I heard from Aikofie that you wanted to go out and see the world, and Liyue is actually a very good choice.

I happen to know a master chef from Liyue who's passionate about creating new dishes. You two should get along well!

"Liyue? I've long heard that Liyue cuisine has a long and rich history, with a wide variety of dishes and unique cooking methods. I really want to see it for myself!"

Aiko looked at Lu Lin with a hint of anticipation in her eyes: "Can you cook Liyue cuisine?"

"Of course! I'll show you the effects of this amazing mechanical cooking machine!"

Under Aikofi's guidance, Lu Lin, with the help of the mechanical cooking machine, easily made an authentic Liyue specialty, Yan Du Xian (a type of stew).

Meanwhile, Aikofi's cake was ready, and the three of them, who had been busy all morning, began to enjoy a feast.

"Wow! I'm so lucky to be able to eat both the Debo Cake and Liyue's famous dish, Yan Du Xian, today!" Navia looked at the delicious food in front of her, as excited as a child.

The Aikofi cake is undoubtedly a masterpiece of Fontainebleau, and the addition of fresh milk from a certain "rare and exotic animal" makes the flavor even richer, with a subtle cherry blossom aroma that enhances the cake's appeal.

Navia knew where the milk came from, but Aikofi was completely unaware and was still asking Lu Lin, "The quality of this milk is amazing! What kind of rare and exotic beast is it?"

"Fengdan doesn't have this kind of exotic beast, but if you like it, I'll get you some more later."

Navia's eyelids twitched as she listened, but she couldn't help but fantasize about what it would taste like to make cakes or cheese if she could produce milk like her sister fox.

Thinking of this, she turned her gaze to Lu Lin. This guy is so capable, he should have a way, right?

Lu Lin's pickled bamboo shoots and pork belly also amazed Aikefei and Navia, who had never tasted it before. With the help of the "skillful hands" attribute, his cooking skills have now reached a level of perfection.

Even the most discerning palate, the Rock King Emperor, couldn't find fault with this pot of braised pork and bamboo shoot soup, let alone the two young girls from Fengdan.

Aikofi admired Lu Lin more and more. She felt that there was no need to go and communicate with any of the culinary masters in Liyue. Lu Lin's level was no worse than that of the masters!

The two ate and chatted, exchanging cooking experiences and insights. Aikofei learned a lot and felt a sense of regret for not having met her sooner.

After finishing their meal and cleaning up the dishes, Lu Lin brought up his earlier suggestion again: "How about Aikefei has a face-to-face exchange with the culinary master of Liyue? Although my cooking skills are okay, when it comes to all kinds of ingenious ideas and innovations, I am far inferior to her."

"I would like to go, but the journey to Liyue is long and I need to prepare my luggage first. This is my first time leaving Fontainebleau."

Aikefei was quite interested in Lu Lin's suggestion, but after all, it was her first time going on a long trip, and she couldn't just decide to go on a whim; she had to make thorough preparations first.

"Hehe, no need for all that trouble. Lu Lin has a magical ability. You just need to follow us, and we'll be in Liyue in no time!" Navia patted Aikofi on the shoulder.

"Huh? We can get to Liyue in an instant?"
