After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.
Chapter 170 My Mother
A young disciple who could reach the 100th floor was actually like this? He looked so weak!
"Senior brother, senior sister, you..." Sun Li widened his eyes. He didn't expect that they would all squeeze in at once. Now the room was so crowded that it was hard to breathe.
Jiang Liqian didn't expect that so many disciples from the Taotie Summit would come to see her.
She must have never met them before, right?
But soon, she knew their intentions.
The disciples of Taotie Peak are all obsessed with food, and Chanxian Pavilion is the place where they can prove their greatness. They think that since she can reach the 100th level of Chanxian Pavilion with the cultivation level of the Qi Refining Stage, she must have a deep understanding of food. So they thought of inviting her to the kitchen to cook a dish, integrating her own understanding into it, so that they can also comprehend it carefully, and maybe even make a breakthrough.
But they really overthought it.
Even though Jiang Liqian has lived two lives, she has very few opportunities to cook, and she actually doesn't know how to cook at all.
She told the truth, but no one believed her.
Jiang Liqian had no choice but to absorb the medicinal power of the Jade Dew Pill. After the soreness and swelling in her meridians had almost healed, she was surrounded by them and taken into the most magnificent and beautiful place renovated on Taotie Peak - the Jade Kitchen.
There are all kinds of ingredients and cooking tools in it, which is simply dazzling.
But Jiang Liqian just stood in the middle of the pile, at a loss, unable to make a move.
She racked her brains for a long time, but couldn't think of what to cook.
The disciples of Taotie Peak were all staring at her, their eyes full of anticipation.
Jiang Liqian moved her neck stiffly and gave Sun Li a look for help.
Sun Li was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized something, and with just a few words he tricked all his senior brothers and sisters out of the Jade Kitchen Hall.
"Have you never cooked before?" Sun Li asked.
Jiang Li nodded slightly.
"then you……"
"I said I wouldn't, but I can't refuse your kindness..."
Sun Li scratched the back of his head and smiled: "Don't mind me, my brothers and sisters are all obsessed with food, so they want to taste the delicacies you make. But if you really want to, just say it directly. My brothers and sisters won't blame you."
Jiang Liqian has always believed that as long as it is within her ability, she will do her best.
Although she has changed her mind now, when she thinks of her two uncles' concern for her and how they saved her in time, she feels embarrassed to refuse the requests of her brothers and sisters.
It’s just cooking a meal. Even though she’s not very good at it, it shouldn’t be too difficult, right?
"How about I help you?" Sun Li took the initiative to speak when he saw Jiang Liqian's uneasy look.
Jiang Liqian looked up at him, as if considering the possibility of "cheating", but the next second she shook her head.
"There's a pastry I can make. You go out first, I'll be done in a while."
After Sun Li was surprised, he was no longer surprised.
He didn't know why, but he could always feel a power of immense trust in Jiang Liqian.
Since she said she would, then she must be able to do it.
Thinking of this, he went out.
After waiting anxiously for a while outside with his senior brothers and sisters, the door was pushed open from the inside. Jiang Liqian, dressed in a plain white disciple uniform, stepped over the threshold and walked slowly towards them.
She was holding a tray in her hand, on which was a jade dish with green patterns, and on top of the dish was a jade bowl of the same color.
A flash of excitement flashed across Sun Li's eyes.
After all, Jiang Liqian was someone who could climb to the hundredth floor of the Greedy Pavilion in one breath. He didn't even have that ability! If he could taste the cakes she made, gain enlightenment, and improve his cultivation by leaps and bounds, wouldn't that be a great thing?
The tray was placed on the stone table, and Jiang Liqian opened the covered bowl with her own hands.
There were more than twenty pieces of burnt brown blocks of various shapes lying inside. They looked neither beautiful nor appetizing.
You can't even tell what the pastries look like.
This surprised Sun Li and others.
Sun Li even doubted whether the so-called pastry made by Jiang Liqian was edible.
It won’t cause diarrhea, right?
"I... am not very good at cooking. I only know this chestnut cake, which was taught to me by an old friend. I'm just too stupid to learn much. Brothers and sisters, please don't force yourself. If you don't want to..."
Jiang Liqian was invited by Sun Li, and no matter what, he would not let her lose face today.
Before Jiang Liqian could finish her words, he interrupted her: "As long as you put your heart into it, it will be a delicious dish. Let me try it first!" As he said that, he took a piece first.
His fingertips trembled a little. To prevent the liquid from leaking too much, he exerted a little force, broke off one-third of it, and bit down with the determination of a hero who would never turn back.
The outside is a bit crispy, but the inside is very soft and sticky.
It doesn’t taste like ordinary chestnut cake, but it’s not bad either.
He chewed slowly for two bites, and suddenly felt something hot sliding down from the corner of his eye.
He raised his hand and wiped it.
I was shocked to find that they were tears.
Because it was a piece of chestnut cake that didn’t taste very good and had a weird appearance.
Jiang Liqian knew that her cooking skills were not very good, but she didn't expect that her cooking skills were so bad that they could make people cry.
For a moment, she even wondered if she had inherited the legacy of her senior brother Si Chuan and was continuing on the path of poor cooking skills without looking back.
Tomorrow, in Taotie Peak, her "reputation" will probably spread along with the eldest brother's "great killer god", right?
The corners of her mouth twitched violently, and Jiang Liqian hesitated, thinking about how to start speaking.
Sun Li looked stunned and asked her, "You said an old friend taught you this. Who was this old friend?"
Jiang Liqian was stunned.
I was stunned for a long time.
After a while, she lowered her head and said softly, "It's my mother."
Sun Li was stunned, then nodded and murmured: "Yes, yes, that's why I shed tears..."
Although Jiang Liqian never mentioned anything about her mother, one would know a thing or two if one asked carefully.
She came alone from the mortal realm, and her mortal mother must have passed away.
The longing, bitterness, sadness, and warmth of being surrounded by love in this chestnut cake gave him a strong impact.
Most monks are calm and rarely experience extreme sorrow or joy. He is the same. Although he can cook all the delicious food in the world, he only has skills but no emotions.
And how could a meal, amidst that steaming mist, be without emotional investment?
This was his bottleneck, the enlightenment he had been searching for.
No wonder the master always looked at him and sighed, saying that although he had talent, he was only superficial and could not grasp the most important things.
You need to comprehend, comprehend, and comprehend again.
Thinking of this, he staggered and left in a hurry without even looking back.
