Imagine the world

If you ask me, you should become a master of painting.If you ask Uncle Mo, he hopes that you can create rubbing skills for the world to use.If you ask Ke Fuzi, he hopes you can pass on the way of painting. "

Hua Zhenxing: "I see, you always think that my cultivation base is not good enough!"

Old man Yang slapped the table heavily, even jumping up his teacup: "You just understand? My old man is already very dissatisfied! I think you are a little complacent now, the feeling of the chief instructor is very good?

The results of the training class have exceeded expectations, and these students are also very quick to get started. Everyone respects you very much.But have you ever thought about your weight?Although you are the chief tutor, don't forget that both Wang Fengshou and Lian Na are already in the fifth realm!

If the conditions are equal, you and Wang Fengshou are put outside to fight to the death, can you beat him?If there is an examination paper for the cultivation of the five realms, which focuses on the use of methods, can you pass Lian Na?

You ask Uncle Mo if he can build such a spirit magpie?Can't tell the occasion!You can build it yourself in the future, that is your personal cultivation.Uncle Mo has this ability, so he can come up with the most suitable things for various occasions, do you have it?

The general trend of Jili Kingdom has been set, the Yangyuan Valley has just reached its scale, and the creation of a real country is in sight, and the training class has been so successful, you are quite high-spirited, right?But your own ability can't keep up, everything is a castle in the air, and you are still far behind.

I told you just now that brilliant things may be difficult to spread, but if you are not clever enough, how can you create universal things?Knowing how to manage the world, you can't just focus on management. After all, you are a monk, how can you not detach yourself from your mind and vision? "

These words are correct, Hua Zhenxing does feel complacent recently.After all, so many achievements have been made, this is subconscious, and it may be inevitable for everyone.

Old man Yang was reminding him that compared to today's situation, his own level is a bit behind.No matter how successful the training course is and how smoothly everything is managed, if Hua Zhenxing's cultivation and vision stagnate, it will probably stop there.

Hua Zhenxing bowed his head and said, "Your education is correct, what should I do?"

Old man Yang: "Yuanyuangu's formation is changing every day, how much have you learned? Don't be too wild, don't run around during this time, and when they leave, you can retreat and practice here! Such a good fairy Jiafudi, you have the opportunity to become the master of the cave, but you can't even sit on your butt..."

Hua Zhenxing was grounded by old man Yang. It's hard to say how long this posture will last. Unless the cultivation base can be improved, the new alliance's attack on Wa Ge City may not be bothering.

If old man Yang doesn't come, Hua Zhenxing is planning to leave in a few days and take this group of students back together, there are still many things to be busy outside.

But old man Yang's words left him in Yangyuan Valley to practice.The great formation of the cave is being arranged, especially at the beginning of the foundation laying, there are subtle changes every day. This process of comprehension is so rare that Hua Zhenxing didn't really realize it before.

Chapter 275

Hua Zhen walked out of old man Yang's yard, looking a bit listless.Ke Fuzi was standing at the gate of his yard, and asked with a smile, "Are you being scolded again?"

Hua Zhenxing: "No, I just received Mr. Yang's education and am digesting it."

Ke Fuzi still smiled and said: "It's worth the scolding. If you haven't found that paper crane in two days, you should probably be beaten. You really need to digest it."

Hua Zhenxing: "Master, what are you doing, are you waiting for me on purpose?"

Ke Fuzi: "That's right, I want to ask you for a favor to pull out some spring bamboo shoots."

Do you still need Hua Zhenxing's help for such a trivial matter as pulling spring bamboo shoots?But Hua Zhenxing didn't say anything, and quickly replied: "How much do you want to use?"

Ke Fuzi: "One dish is enough, you choose as good as you can."

Hua Zhenxing: "It rained a little yesterday, and there are new ones today. If you want to eat bamboo shoots, the best way is to pull them before the sun comes out."

Ke Fuzi: "It doesn't matter, the bamboo shoots picked at noon are also fine, try to pick the freshest ones. When you are done, soak them first, and then soak them in cold water for an hour."

Hua Zhenxing smiled: "I know all of this, what do you always want to cook?"

Ke Fuzi: "I definitely need your help to make it. There is a dish called 'Yu Li Ling Kong Festival' in Zhiweilou in Wucheng, Dongguo. Do you know it?"

This master almost never cooks in the kitchen himself, and today he suddenly wanted to eat a dish, so he must have asked him to make it.He blinked his eyes: "I've seen this recipe, and I'm impressed. You can try it. When do you always want to eat it?"

Ke Fuzi: "Just tonight."

Hua Zhenxing: "The time was a little tight, so I will make a simplified version."

Ke Mengchao: "Okay, I know your craft."

The climate in Yangyuan Valley, in fact, there are bamboo shoots all year round, but the number is different, depending on the variety of bamboo.If it is in the south of the Eastern Kingdom, the bamboo shoots should be the most around the time of the Awakening of Insects, and the time when the bamboo shoots are the most here is precisely the beginning of the heavy rainy season, and now it is in season.

Hua Zhenxing turned around and walked into Ke Fuzi's yard to pull bamboo shoots.The yard covers an acre and a half, and the house is built in the bamboo forest. The bamboo in this area is about the thickness of a wine glass.

Different bamboo shoots have different particularities. For example, winter bamboo shoots are usually the kind that are dug out of the thickness of a teacup and pried with a hoe.This kind of spring bamboo shoots is directly grasped by the roots and pulled out skillfully. The tenderness of the bamboo shoots around the elbow height is just right.

It doesn't take many bamboos for a dish, but Hua Zhenxing is still very careful. First, he used his spiritual sense to scan the entire bamboo forest in the courtyard, distinguishing the physical properties and selecting the most suitable one.He didn't concentrate on plucking in one place, but tried to pull out some of the bamboo shoots that grow side by side in densely packed bamboo forests, which can achieve the effect of thinning out the forest without affecting the growth of the bamboo forest.

Ke Fuzi looked at it with his hands behind his back, and nodded in satisfaction.

Hua Zhenxing pulled out a bunch of bamboo shoots and tied them with a thin bamboo thread. He also grabbed a pair of bamboo chickens and picked up a dozen bamboo eggs. .

Ke Mengchao: "You picked a lot of bamboo shoots, you don't need one dish."

Hua Zhenxing: "I plan to make three copies."

Ke Mengchao: "No wonder you want to catch a pair of bamboo chickens, these eggs can also be used for other dishes."

Hua Zhenxing: "Yes, fried tree buds...but where did the bamboo chicken come from here?"

There is no Chinese toon in Yangyuan Valley, but there are at least a dozen kinds of tree buds that can be eaten with scrambled eggs like Chinese toon, each with its own characteristics.There were no bamboo chickens in Yangyuan Valley before, but I caught two in the bamboo forest just now, and there are many more nearby.

Ke Mengchao asked with a smile, "You finally found out?"

Hua Zhenxing: "There are wild pheasants here, but no bamboo chickens. I was also surprised just now."

Ke Mengchao: "How did you recognize it?"

Hua Zhenxing: "Although I have never seen a live animal, I have seen photos and videos. Lao Yang said that the bamboo chicken tastes good, so I checked, but unfortunately there is no such thing in the area of ​​Feisuo Port. It is not a species in the Black Desolation Continent. .”

Ke Mengchao: "It's really Lao Yang's idea. He and Lao Mo deduced it together, thinking that it is very suitable to release bamboo chickens in the wild, and it will not affect the ecology."

Hua Zhenxing: "When did it happen?"

Ke Mengchao: "After you broke through the five realms and left last time, when Lao Mo and I built the research institute and the Ministry of Education, Lao Yang introduced a thousand bamboo chickens here."

Hua Zhenxing: "That was before the first training class started!"

Ke Mengchao: "That's right, as the master of the cave, you just discovered it! Did you only pay attention to Lao Yang's paper crane just now?"

Hua Zhenxing secretly felt ashamed, bowed his head and said, "I'll cook first."

Yuli Lingkong Festival is a very labor-intensive dish, even if it is a simplified version, if you want to eat it at night, you must prepare it now.

After peeling the bamboo shoots, soak them in water for an hour, and cook chicken soup at the same time.A little chicken with a little bit of fat and salt is crushed into minced meat, cut open one side of the soaked bamboo shoots, fill the cavity in the bamboo shoots with minced meat, and then close it.Hua Zhenxing originally wanted to use pork stuffing, but unfortunately there is no such thing here, and the serious way is to use chestnut flour and dough as minced meat.

Such bamboo shoots are arranged on a plate, and a layer of bamboo chicken soup is poured on the plate. The bamboo shoots should be just submerged, and then steamed in a basket. The steaming time can be a little longer.

Hua Zhenxing didn't follow the original recipe, and played it freely, which saves time and trouble.If he follows the original recipe, he will start cooking it last night, and there are still many kinds of ingredients missing here, so he can only adapt to local conditions. (Note: If you want to set up the volley festival, the original recipe is in my other book "Spiritual Journey", so it won't take up the number of words here.)

There is no need to keep watching during the cooking process. The bamboo shoots are ready to be soaked in water, and the chicken soup still needs to be boiled. Hua Zhen walks out of the kitchen to rest for a while, chatting with Ke Fuzi.

Ke Mengchao asked casually: "Xiaohua, I suddenly want to eat this dish today, do you think it takes too much effort?"

Hua Zhenxing: "I don't think so, it's just that it's made. The person who came up with this dish has spent a lot of thought."

Ke Mengchao: "Is it worth it?"

Hua Zhenxing grinned: "Of course it's worth it. You told me when you were young, what it means to be hungry."

Ke Mengchao said angrily and amusedly: "This is a grammatical error, not when I was a child, but when you were a child!"

There is a saying in Dongguo that “Food is the most important thing for the people”. This saying has many meanings. The so-called food does not only refer to food, but also refers to the needs for survival and reproduction. Therefore, Huazhenxing is the first to transform Feisuo Port. The first step must be to build the land reclamation area first.

But do people live in this world just for food and clothing?How is that different from animals.After having enough food and clothing, is it possible to eat cassava batter every day?Even if there is meat, is it just boiled with some salt?So what's the point of Locke opening so many noodle restaurants?

The so-called "coarse tea and light food" is not only a literal meaning, it refers to a kind of self-cultivation, not indulging in extravagance, and pursuing a higher spiritual realm and more achievements.

Neither old man Yang nor Ke Fuzi are actually extravagant people. They have all talked about "frugality" with Hua Zhenxing since they were young.

Yang Tehong has always advocated the way of thrift and kindness, but since he was a child, he taught Hua Zhenxing to read recipes as comic books, and taught Xiaohua to learn how to cook all kinds of delicious food. How can this be explained?Once Ke Fuzi saw Xiaohua flipping through a menu, so he asked him this question.

Hua Zhenxing was only five or six years old at the time, so he could only repeat what old man Yang told him, which is called respecting nature and cherishing things.

Food is the most important thing for the people, so it can be seen that food is rare. Shouldn't it be made more delicious?Treat these foods with a more respectful attitude, otherwise you are going against God!

He amused Ke Fuzi, and Ke Fuzi asked him again, do you know that the so-called civilization not only has height, but also thickness?This is completely a modern discourse system, and the old man does not always speak ancient Chinese.

The so-called height of civilization is easier to understand, but it is difficult to explain the thickness to such a young child.Ke Fuzi just came to chat with interest, and told Hua Zhenxing that one of the important frames of reference was the recipe he was looking at at that time.

How do you look at the accumulation of a civilization, much of it is hidden in the secular life. At a given level of civilization, the thickness of its accumulation, such as the degree of prosperity, is also different, and many aspects are reflected in how people live.

In the ignorant period of civilization, what can be eaten and how to eat it is even the secret of the survival and development of a tribe, which is equivalent to the advanced core technology of modern society.

How many kinds of materials can be found or cultivated in nature, and what kind of food can be made is one of the important factors.This problem is not necessarily related to the superficial rich and poor. For example, pickled spicy cabbage is only a food for common people. There is such a country with little virtue and weak weapons that has learned it and regarded it as a national treasure. Although it is funny, But it also reflects this truth.

A piece of radish, a piece of cabbage, and a few cucumbers can be made into various tricks. This is not only for appetite, but also represents the aspiration and spirit in life. It is not someone's, it is reflected in the inheritance of civilization .

Besides, the dish made today is very characteristic of Huazhenxing. In fact, it is not wasteful. The bamboo shoots and bamboo chicken are all used to the best of their ability. Try to respect them more and enjoy them more.

If it is just a casual trick, it is unpalatable and wasteful, reckless, vulgar and shameless, then it is definitely not Yang Tehong's frugality, let alone Ke Mengchao's frugality.

There is a difference between this and extravagance, the difference is that it does not forget the spirit of luxury and material desires. Jokes like "why not eat minced meat" do not understand people's livelihood, and this spirit lies in the joy of people's livelihood.

This spirit can also be reflected in the processing and selection of ingredients, such as the internal organs of various animals and various leftovers, commonly known as offal in Dongguo, which are not processed well in many parts of the world, and many of them are wasted. Know what to eat.

In Dongguo, however, various delicacies can be made, as well as the characteristics of different cuisines.For example, there is Shancheng Hot Pot, which was originally a snack for wharf workers and labor workers to keep out the cold, dispel dampness, and appetizers.

Is this really a lot of effort? That's not necessarily the case. In fact, it is the thought of the predecessors, which requires the observation and practice of everything.Are these just for food and clothing, are they just a reflection of material desires, of course not!

The so-called never-satisfying essence probably meant the same thing, and Xiaohua at that time could not understand any more words.

Sitting in the room chatting today, Ke Mengchao unexpectedly brought up this topic again.Hua Zhenxing has grown up a lot, and understands more truths, and sighed like an adult: "I don't tire of eating, and I also want to improve my skills! In this regard, you and Mr. Yang have very consistent views."

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Hua Zhenxing felt a little regretful, because he also knew Ke Fuzi very well. As long as he talked about the views of Old Man Yang and Uncle Mo, Ke Fuzi couldn't help but argue, and as expected, the old man shook his head and said: : "Plausible, you still haven't got the essence. There is actually a big difference between me and Lao Yang!"

Chapter 276

Now that the words have come to this point, Hua Zhenxing can only bite the bullet and continue to ask: "What's the difference?"

Ke Mengchao seemed to be looking into the distance and said: "Lao Yang never treated himself badly back then, I am very displeased. He is harmless to others, but he is useless to the world..."

Hua Zhenxing raised his hand and said, "I've heard it a lot since I was a child. What I'm talking about today is cooking. You always love this dish just like him."

Ke Mengchao coughed lightly and said: "Ke Mengchao paused: "Let's talk about cooking, there is a dish of 'unpacking jade balls wrapped in gold', which is also a dish of Zhiweilou in Wucheng, did Lao Yang ask you to cook it? "

Hua Zhenxing: "I tried it twice, but the crabs produced here are not good for making 'Jade Balls Wrapped with Gold', so I didn't make them afterwards."

Ke Fuzi: "Then you can try again in the future. Lao Yang plans to put golden claw crab seedlings in the wetlands of the agricultural reclamation area, and is studying whether there are natural enemies of golden claw crabs here so that they will not flood.

For such a dish, it is all right for him to cook it himself, but it is too labor-intensive for ordinary people. Ten people's half-day work can only be enjoyed by one person for a moment, which is not beneficial to people's livelihood. "

The dish of Jiejin Wrapped Jade Ball is actually not complicated. It is a kind of meatball with stuffing. The raw material is only one flavor, which is crab, preferably Dongguo Golden Claw Crab.

After the golden claw crab is steamed, use a hook needle to remove the double claws and the thickest first section of the crab legs.The meat is crushed with thin sticks, and nothing else is added. It is to be kneaded into the skin of the balls, and the crab red (golden red crab roe) is used as the filling.

There is another process at the end, which is to use mature vinegar, tender ginger and live raw crab roe to make a dipping sauce, then steam it until it is slightly cooked, roll the meatballs in it, hang the sauce and serve it on a plate.

Hua Zhenxing understood what Ke Fuzi meant. The main problem with this dish was not that the ingredients were expensive, but that it was too labor-intensive.If someone has a cultivation level, such as Hua Zhenxing, it is very simple to process, not much more complicated than ordinary couscous, let alone old man Yang himself.

Old man Yang is very good at enjoying, but no matter how happy his little life is, others have nothing to say.Because old man Yang doesn't take or steal, and he does everything by his own ability, but can most people in the world learn this... Without old man Yang's ability, but wanting to live the life of old man Yang, that will become what kind?

Hua Zhenxing frowned slightly and said, "Actually, we can study food processing technology and solve it from this direction."

Ke Fuzi said in a displeased tone: "Am I discussing this kind of issue with you? It was just an analogy... Forget it, let me just say it straight, his dish is like this Yangyuangu, but mine is Like the country of Huanxiang in your dream.

Lao Yang has seen too many vicissitudes of ups and downs, chaos and reincarnation, whether it is his state of mind or cultivation, he has long jumped out, detached from it and watched from the sidelines.

If you are only his descendant, but without his cultivation level, you will not be able to jump out, but at most you will liberate a few miles country, and then build a Yangyuan Valley.

But you are not only his descendant, so I won’t mention the things in the dream, just say what you are doing, are you refining Chunrong Pill for yourself?You don't need this thing yourself!If you fancy a woman and want to please her, you don't have to do it. "

Hua Zhenxing whispered: "Actually, I want to use it to make money."

Ke Fuzi: "You want to use it to accumulate capital, but why do you earn money? It is for the benefit of the world. This is not what Lao Yang taught you!"

Hua Zhenxing: "I was taught by you, and also by Mr. Yang and Uncle Mo... When it comes to Chunrong Pill, I have often been vague recently.

According to the current way of doing things, am I building a country of Huanxiang, and I am still building a production base of Chunrongdan and a training base for nourishing masters disguised as a country? "

Ke Fuzi was quite serious at first, but at this moment he couldn't help but smiled again: "Production capacity and talent reserve are the foundation of the country, and they are not ambiguous at all! Since I mentioned Chunrong Dan's production and the training of Yuanyuan teachers, I think of Shire. .”

Hua Zhenxing: "What does this have to do with Shire? He can't eat Chunrong Pill, and it seems that he can't become a Yangyuan teacher."

Ke Mengchao: "Who said that?"

Hua Zhenxing's eyes brightened: "Don't you always have a way?"

Ke Mengchao: "It's up to him whether he can start cultivation, but he can find ways to assist him in his cultivation. The elixir you have now is not only used to refine Chunrong Pill, but also useful to every student here! Lao Yang knew that you were spying on him today, so he purposely refined Zi Jun Ning on the spot, isn’t the hint obvious?”

Hua Zhenxing: "I don't call it voyeurism... What is Mr. Yang hinting at me?"

Ke Mengchao: "Where can the effect of Zijunning be used? If combined with Xumai Gel, it can soothe the nerves, soothe the nerves, cleanse the marrow and unblock the collaterals. It can be used by first-level to third-level nourishing masters, and it can help them better Break through the barrier."

Hua Zhenxing: "I also thought about this idea."

Ke Mengchao: "You just have an idea, this is a specific plan! Lao Yang actually told you, but he didn't say it clearly, so you can figure it out...I don't like him, he has to hide everything .

You are developing Chunrong Pill, but you can't just focus on Chunrong Pill, these elixirs are all very useful, don't you think about the rest?As long as Charles can get started, I have a set of plans for him, which can help his cultivation and not hinder his advancement. "

Following the words, his old man sent a spiritual thought to Hua Zhenxing, how to refine and use the existing elixir, can assist these students in their cultivation, and can also help Shire's cultivation, and it is also based on Shire's situation alone There is a whole set of recommendations.Now that Hua Zhenxing has also come into contact with the alchemy taught by Dingfengtan, of course he can understand it.

Hua Zhenxing patted his thigh: "That's great, it turns out that your alchemy is so good!"
