Chapter Eighty-Seven: As You Like It

There is a big difference between Chinese and Western cuisine, and the Chinese cuisine is not as precise as the West, only a little, a small amount, martial fire, simmering, etc., there is no precise scale, and it is all cooked according to the feeling of the cooking master.

Therefore, it is often said that Western cuisine is rational, while Chinese cuisine is emotional.

When Ah Umbrella began to learn cooking, the cuisine was becoming more and more standardized, and the cuisine was more and more Western-style. The time is accurate to the second, the weight is accurate to the gram, and the temperature is also clearly fixed in Celsius, and a dish is a standard dosage and method.

The first chef of Ah Umbrella is a traditional old chef, who advocates the unity of people and food, and the best is to weigh the amount of ingredients by himself. The difference in humidity and temperature in the air will affect the quality of the prepared dishes, how can there be an immutable standard of ingredients?

Under his influence, Ah Umbrella has always maintained the practice of Chinese cuisine.

Even if I learned Western-style pastry, Ah Umbrella relied on intuition to sprinkle ingredients and watch the time. Every time the teacher who taught her Western dishes tasted the dishes she made, they said that they were delicious and different. I often sigh that such a rational child, but cooking is not a rigorous set, but a casual and intuitive one.

Ah Umbrella suddenly remembered the words of Master Chengde that day, he said that love is the source of pain and fear, and that it is just a part of the karmic reincarnation, and that the so-called love that people think is their own delusion.

But she still doesn't want to let go of her obsession, she still wants to follow her heart, just like when cooking, she never cares if it's a few liters of water and a few grams of salt. It's the best portion.

Where the heart desires, suffering is also happiness.

I think the master knows her stubbornness and doesn't persuade her, so why should she find a reason to escape. Let's follow her heart again, but this time she has to be more calm, don't think about anything else, let it be, and see if it's delusion or ......

In this way, Ah Umbrella lived in the yard of Changyu again. However, what is strange to Ah Umbrella is that Changyu has not left the yard these days. It's not like in the old days when there was no one in sight.

"Senior Brother Changyu has been very idle lately." Ah Umbrella saw that the long fish was eaten. Putting down the chopsticks, I found something to say.

Changyu looked at the beautiful woman in the Taoist robe opposite, the black hair seemed to be a little longer than the last time I saw her, and the person was also a little darker... Long eyes are slightly constricted. His gaze lingered for a few breaths before retracting. Only then did he respond to Ah Umbrella's words: "What you have to do has been almost done." Then it's enough to wait. ”

Ah Umbrella's eyes rolled, and she was about to continue talking, when she heard Changyu ask her, "How is the task of the master?" ”

Thinking of the little monks in Yangcheng. Ah Umbrella smiled unconsciously, and his tone softened three points, "It's good." ”

"What's the mission?"

"The "Dongzhou Chronicles" has not changed for 10,000 years, so I re-ordered the recording task, and I went to Yangcheng."

Yang cheng?

The white cat moved, pressed the corner of the windless automatic robe, and rubbed it a few more times before he lowered his head to eat contentedly.

"That long knot was given by the monk of Yangcheng?"

Ah Umbrella lowered her head, she forgot the knot that Zhao Erleng tied for her, her face became softer, and she smiled: "Yes, a very cute little monk." ”

"Then put it away, it's easy to lose it when you carry it on your body."

Huh?

Also, maybe one day after a fight, this long knot will be lost. Ah Umbrella untied the long knot and put it into the space, said a few words to Changyu, and went back to the house.

When I returned to the house, Ah Umbrella laid out a few small formations, and lit four pillars of incense incense on the front and back. After preparing for several days, my body and mind are in the most relaxed state, and today I decided to absorb the refined jade rubber.

took out the Tianlei branch, there were several white jade-colored colloids on the branches, and the touch was quite hard and cold. Mu Zhenqi gathered on Ah Umbrella's fingers, and with a slight lift, a piece of jade rubber fell off from the Tianlei branch.

The true qi of the wood line in the palm of the hand was gradually replaced by the fire line, and the jade rubber in the palm of the palm gradually softened and melted into a pool of thick liquid. Ah Umbrella carefully dragged the true qi in his body and absorbed the melted jade rubber into his body.

As soon as the jade rubber entered the body, it was like a child who had found the way, and automatically rushed to the mud pill palace of Ah Umbrella. Ah Umbrella's painful face was pale, and the jade rubber flowed through it was cold and piercing pain, like being naked in January and receiving the baptism of snow water.

The jade rubber entered the mud pill palace, like a fish entering the water, and gathered together with the sea of knowledge, and suddenly it was like stirring up a thousand waves, and the divine consciousness quickly spread throughout the mud pill palace, and the glue glue scalded the entire brain.

Ah Umbrella began to be in a trance, and he only cared about bearing the ripples of the sea of knowledge in the mud pill palace, and at this time, a stream of sandalwood came into his nose, and his soul was cold, and his mind was also sober.

Gradually, Zhihai had slowly calmed down, and Ah Umbrella hurriedly introduced the remaining jade rubber refining on the Tianlei branch into his body.

It's like entering the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun, and after the scorching and scorching of the Samadhi True Fire, in the end, the fiery eyes were not refined, but the soul and the body were completely together.

Everything finally calmed down, Ah Umbrella looked at the dantian, only to feel a burst of transparency, the lotus flower and the heart in the dantian were more crystalline, seeing the black silk lingering on the heart, Ah Umbrella frowned, leading a true qi to refine the black silk clean. Although I knew that the black silk would appear again, at least for now, out of sight.

Jiufang said that it was a precursor to the demons in his heart, and unless Ah Umbrella could change his fate, it would always exist, affecting Ah Umbrella's state of mind. It's just that if Ah Umbrella gives birth to a few more heart knots, this heart demon can grow.

The incense that lit around was long gone, and I don't know how long it had been. When I got out of the house, I saw Changyu staring at the couplet outside the courtyard gate, Ah Umbrella knew that the couplet was strange, but Jiufang and Changyu didn't seem to want her to know, frowning slightly, although they felt that they didn't want her to be involved in this matter, but this feeling of being protected by the weak was really unpleasant.

When Changyu saw Ah Umbrella, he withdrew his gaze and entered the courtyard, and did not ask about Ah Umbrella's retreat. As usual, after eating, the two spoke.

"After separating from my master and sister, I haven't been able to cook for people like this for a long time." Ah Umbrella's words are a little nostalgic, and the scenes in the small valley have become clouds on the horizon, and she can see them as soon as she looks up.

Changyu also followed Ah Umbrella to look at the white clouds in the air, his eyes were deep, as if he had passed through thousands of years, and he said after a long time: "You are the first person to cook for me like this." ”

Ah Umbrella looked at Changyu, opened his mouth to say something, and continued to look at the clouds in the sky. She actually wanted to say that the first person who cooked for him like this should be his mother. But then I thought that maybe he was like himself, an orphan without a father or mother.

Someone approached, and Ah Umbrella looked out of the courtyard.

The smiling tiger is still so gentle and elegant, and when he saw Ah Umbrella and them, he smiled even brighter.

"Senior Brother Changyu, Rong and Senior Sister, Xi Kan came uninvited, I hope you will forgive me." Zhao Lu smiled and groaned, bent down slightly, holding the yellow scroll in his hand.

It turned out that Zhao Lu's road name was Xi Kan.

Changyu didn't speak, so Ah Umbrella naturally wanted to speak: "Senior Brother Zhao, please come in, I don't know why Senior Brother came here?" ”

Zhao Lu shook his head with a smile and said, "I won't go in, I'm here to find you, junior sister." I went to Chaoyang Peak to visit today, but I didn't expect you to go to the main peak again, so I looked for it. ”

"Senior sister, can you take a step to speak?"

After that, Zhao Lu smiled apologetically at Changyu, and Changyu's face was as usual, still silent.

Ah Umbrella raised his eyebrows, there is no need to transmit anything, you have to meet and say it in person. (To be continued......)
