Chapter 138: The Tao in the Porridge
Wang Billy filled a bowl of rainbow porridge and handed it to Xuanwei.
The rainbow porridge in the bowl is still layered, and it is not mixed up because it is served.
Under Wang Billy's expectant gaze, Xuanwei picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful of the orange part.
Before the porridge was eaten, a sweet smell of corn poured into the nose.
"Is this porridge made with flavored corn?" muttered Xuanwei, bringing the spoon to his mouth.
The porridge is not hot in the mouth, and the just right amount of warmth sets off the smooth taste, which does not make people feel abrupt at all.
The unique fruity aroma of multi-flavored corn spreads in the mouth and is evocative.
When the mild porridge liquid flows down the esophagus into the stomach, a warm sensation rises from it and spreads to all parts of the body.
Xuanwei, who felt that her appetite was full of it, scooped up a spoonful of black porridge again.
Different from Fangcai's polenta, this spoonful of black porridge has a much thicker texture and a more intense aroma.
"Black sesame seeds, fungus, and what kind of wild fruit seems to be?" asked Xuanwei to Wang Billy.
"Yes, Dao Chief, and it also contains the wild mulberries I found in the mountains. Billy Wang replied.
"It turned out to be mulberries, but I didn't expect that after putting this kind of fruit, it would make sesame porridge taste less greasy!" Xuan Wei couldn't help but say.
Immediately, Xuanwei tasted several other colors of porridge separately.
Wang Billy's cooking skills are vividly displayed in the combination of ingredients for several porridges, which really makes Xuan Wei and others gain insight.
After a while, a large pot of rainbow porridge was eaten, and everyone holding the empty bowl was immersed in the afterglow of rainbow porridge.
Now they finally understand why Billy Wang is so confident that he only prepares a pot of porridge!
To put it bluntly, this pot of rainbow porridge actually contains several different kinds of porridge, which can be used as a table of fasting rice.
And the amazing thing is that under Billy Wang's exquisite cooking skills, these different porridges are perfectly combined.
Anyone who cooks often knows that cooking is not just a simple addition, but a mixture of various ingredients can be called cooking.
The characteristics of each ingredient are different, and the method of handling them will change accordingly, and the more ingredients there are, the more difficult it is to combine them perfectly.
But Wang Billy embodies the perfect addition of interlocking in this pot of rainbow porridge!
"It looks like an ordinary pot of porridge, but it is full of many doorways, this cooking skill is really amazing!" Xuan Wei said with a chuckle.
"Daoist, you have won the prize!" Wang Billy said with a gentlemanly salute.
If you only evaluate the novelty and taste of rainbow porridge, Xuanwei feels that it is not an exaggeration to give full marks.
But at this moment, the standard of evaluation is from the standpoint of Daomen Zhai.
Please also explain the reasons for choosing this pot of porridge as the Daomen Lent meal. Xuanwei asked.
Wang Billy pondered for a while, spread his hands and said, "The philosophical ideas contained in the Daomen are vast, and what I have come into contact with is only scratching the surface. This pot of rainbow porridge draws on the most simple theory of yin and yang and five elements in Taoism. ”
The corners of Xuanwei's mouth raised slightly, as if he had already understood the connotation that Wang Billy wanted to convey through the rainbow porridge.
"According to Huaxia, ingredients can be simply divided into hot, cold and flat sex. Through the use of different ingredients, it can play a role in regulating the yin and yang qi of the human body. Wang Billy even explained with a gesture.
In the rainbow porridge, the eating properties of the ingredients used in each porridge are different, but Wang Billy relies on some gender-equal ingredients to completely connect many ingredients.
In addition, the five elements correspond to the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys of the human body, and different ingredients can nourish the corresponding internal organs. For example, taro enters the lung meridian, and tomatoes enter the heart meridian. Billy Wang continued.
It is said that medicine and food have the same origin, and Ruoshui, who is learning the way of medicine, can be said to have a lot of feelings after hearing these words.
Medical supplements are not as good as food supplements, and the knowledge of medicinal diet is actually far more complex and profound than imagined, and it is not easy to eat thoroughly.
As a foreign chef, Billy Wang can go through the doors one by one, which shows that he has really studied it seriously.
On the whole, this pot of rainbow porridge also implies the characteristics of righteousness and peace in the Dao Gate and the inclusiveness of all things. Wang Billy concluded.
After speaking, he looked at Xuan Wei nervously, waiting for his final verdict.
"Qualified!" Xuan Wei spat out two words.
Wang Billy was stunned for a moment, and after making sure that he had no auditory hallucinations, he immediately raised his arms excitedly and cheered.
A few people at the dinner table were also secretly relieved.
Wang Billy's pot of rainbow porridge has completely conquered several people, and if he can take charge of the three meals a day of the Heaven and Earth Temple, of course several people will express their support.
"Daoist Xuanwei, does that mean that I can stay in the Heaven and Earth Temple? In the future, I will be responsible for the food and drink of the Taoist Temple?"
Xuan Wei nodded and said slowly: "Well, in the future, you will be the seat of our Heaven and Earth View." ”
"Disciple to meet the Lord!" Wang Billy was overjoyed and hurriedly made a big salute.
Strictly speaking, there is no master-apprentice relationship between Xuanwei and Wang Billy.
However, what Xuanwei should teach will still be taught, and Wang Billy also has to pay homage to Xuanwei.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for accepting a foreign disciple, after the objective evaluation of this system, the disciple belongs to the mediocre qualification. The system reminded.
Xuanwei was not surprised by this.
If a foreigner's qualifications in the monastic path reach the level of jade, it is really interesting.
Taking into account the disciple's situation, the system recommends that he be cultivated as a Taoist canon. If it is a coincidence, I may be able to use the kitchen to develop dishes that are comparable to panacea. The system suggested.
The Tao is hidden in all things, and it is possible to comprehend the debut from the art of cooking.
The story of Ku Ding's liberation of the cow recorded in the Zhuangzi Inner Chapter is a good example.
Ku Ding can still comprehend his debut through repeated dissection of the whole cow, why can't Wang Billy summarize his debut from cooking?
It's just that it's narrower and more difficult to walk than other avenues.
"In view of the particularity of this disciple, the task rewards obtained by introducing the Dao Gate will be appropriately improved, and in addition, the completion of the entrance test of the Fang Cai is extremely high, and the host can choose to stack the two rewards to upgrade, or distribute them separately. The system continued.
To put it simply, you want two rewards, or one reward that stacks up and upgrades.
Xuan Wei didn't hesitate and said, "The rewards are stacked." ”
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for acquiring: Spirit Vault (Purple Quality)!" the system announced.
Just listening to the name, as well as its purple quality, it gives people a feeling of uncertainty!
A few seconds later, when Xuan Wei understood the specific effect of this item, he couldn't stop crying and laughing.
