Chapter 57: The Taste of Childhood
After returning to the mortal world, Lin Jiawei released Xiaobai, ignored its puzzled little eyes, and focused his attention on the "Haotian Golden Que Wonderful Method of Natural Enlightenment Immortal Formula" in the sea of knowledge.
"There is a Tao in the beginning, the magic law immortal spirit, the nine ascending spirit gods, and the ten thousand laws are immortal,......" Lin Jiawei looked at these words, although he didn't understand what they meant, but there was a feeling in the underworld, teaching him how to cultivate.
Lin Jiawei really didn't understand the true meaning of the content, so he simply sat cross-legged with his legs crossed, his five hearts upward, slowly emptying his mind, calming his mind, as if cleansing his spiritual platform.
As time passed, Lin Jiawei's thoughts became more and more erratic, as if he had emptied himself, just like we usually were in a daze, but the daze was unconscious, but at this time Lin Jiawei was conscious.
Gradually, even though he closed his eyes, he saw a little fluorescence around him, and when he focused his attention on these fluorescents, these fluorescents actually thought about themselves and merged into his consciousness.
When the fluorescence was integrated, Lin Jiawei felt that a comfortable feeling was exuded from the depths of his soul, and from the inside out, the whole person also became radiant, and these fluorescences gathered more and more, and they actually operated according to a certain mysterious and mysterious path, which was different from the circular path of the cultivation of the Dragon Shaking Sutra.
With the operation of the immortal spirit, the speed of absorbing the light points around him is getting faster and faster, if Lin Jiawei opens his eyes at this time, he will find that he seems to be covered with a layer of silver sand at this time, and it is like the moonlight shining on his body, and he is unwilling to leave.
Lin Jiawei's soul was nourished and washed at this moment, and great changes took place, and he himself was also in a state of emptiness, no longer touching the things around him.
When Lin Jiawei ran a big cycle, his consciousness finally gradually regained his perception of the body, and when he opened his eyes, the sun had already risen.
Although Lin Jiawei didn't sleep for a day, perhaps because of the cultivation of the spiritual technique, the whole person was a hundred times more energetic, more comfortable than sleeping, and because of the cultivation of the Dragon Shaking Sutra, he sat cross-legged all night without the slightest feeling of numbness.
Xiaobai on the side glanced at Lin Jiawei, who was violating, and continued to sleep.
"Xiaobai, it's time to get up, we'll go to the barbershop later, don't sleep anymore, you can't be a lazy puppy, no, it should be a lazy little wolf." Lin Jiawei looked at Xiaobai who fell asleep again, and couldn't help but tease him for a while.
"Woo~" Xiaobai protested and stretched out a little paw, slapped away Lin Jiawei's bad hand, and shouted even more dissatisfiedly, and got up extremely reluctantly.
Soon, half a day passed, compared to the creative barber shop with a hot business, Lin Jiawei's barber shop was extremely deserted, from morning to noon, only one business, and the customer was still an elderly old lady, but then again, the old lady was full of praise for Lin Jiawei's craftsmanship.
"Jiawei, it's time to eat." It was already noon, and Maggie Ho brought lunch to Lin Jiawei.
"Mom, next time I go home and eat, I'm not busy here anyway." Lin Jiawei also doesn't want his mother to bring him food every day, and it is a long way from home.
"It's okay, walk a hundred steps after eating, live to ninety-nine, and come out of dinner to exercise." Maggie Ho said with a smile as she laid out the meal.
"Mom, walking 100 steps after dinner also means walking after 20 to 30 minutes, so that it is beneficial to the body and mind." Although Lin Jiawei persuaded his mother, he knew that she would definitely insist on delivering food.
"Come and try it, this is your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs, braised eggplant in oil, and tofu mixed with shallots, these tofu are made by your Aunt Wang's family, very fresh, try it." Sure enough, He Meiqi changed the topic.
"Is that Aunt Wang Meiling Wang, who is known as Tofu Shih Tzu, I remember that they made tofu when they were children, and they are still making it, it's an old craft." Lin Jiawei remembers that when he was poor, his favorite food was their tofu.
Mixed with shallots and tofu, then put some peanuts, sprinkle some salt and coriander, and it is best to put some golden sesame oil, not only the appearance looks bright, the visual effect is excellent, and it tastes smooth and delicious.
Lin Jiawei can't wait to try the tofu with shallots made by his mother, as for why he didn't eat his favorite sweet and sour pork ribs first, not only because the shallots and tofu are also his favorite, but eating other dishes first will destroy the original taste of the latter.
Lin Jiawei hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and put them in his mouth, savored them, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed: "Mom, is this tofu really made by Aunt Wang, why does it taste so much worse than before." ”
Lin Jiawei hasn't stayed at home for several years, every time he comes, it's a festival, and he leaves the next day in a hurry, so he naturally eats big fish and meat, and he doesn't have a chance to eat tofu, and this time it's because Lin Jiawei has to live at home that he has the opportunity to taste it.
"You, you have the same virtue as your father, your mouth is so tricky, so you eat it differently, it's really condescending for you not to be a gourmet." He Meiqi gave her son a blank look.
"Hehe, don't tiger fathers have no dogs?" Lin Jiawei smiled happily at He Meiqi.
"It's so stinky!" He Meiqi scolded with a smile, and then said with a worried face: "You also know that our town has been vigorously engaged in development in the past ten years, and the economy is much better than before, but the environmental sanitation is getting worse and worse, especially the water resources, the discharge of industrial wastewater, has a great impact on the surrounding water pollution, although the management leaders also realized it later, and vigorously rectified it, but they can no longer find the clear and sweet water resources before." ”
Lin Jiawei listened to his mother's words and vaguely guessed something, but did not speak, and continued to listen to He Meiqi.
Sure enough, He Meiqi said that the tofu came up: "You also know that for making tofu, the importance of water is self-evident, and now there is no clear and sweet spring water, only natural water, and the taste of the tofu is naturally much worse." ”
In the process of making tofu, it is not only used in diluted okara pulp, generally 1 part of okara pulp according to the proportion of 2 parts of water, but also occupies a great proportion in the brine point tofu, the brine is different according to the recipe of each family, the proportion is not the same, but generally speaking, a pound of okara pulp will use about 3 catties of water, which shows how big the proportion of water in the tofu is.
Lin Jiawei listened to his mother's words, and was a little silent, he couldn't deny the benefits that the development had brought to the town in recent years, but then many childhood memories gradually disappeared.
Lin Jiawei was suddenly stunned, the source of water, isn't it the source of water, there is still a lot of Lingshan water in the treasure gourd that Jigong gave him, these are much better than Lingquan, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said to his mother: "Mom, Aunt Wang's house is still like that, I have something to do with her." ”
