Chapter 213: The Legend of the Carp

Seeing that Zhao Zixian didn't speak, the old man knew the doubts in Zhao Zixian's heart, so he said: "Taro, carp, these two things, don't you find any special relationship?" ”

Zhao Zixian thought for a while, "This one is sweets, the other is meat, what else can there be a connection." Not only is there no contact, but it is also extremely incompatible, and I have never heard of a dish that does this fish. But since the old man asked, he tried to think about it, but of course he couldn't think of anything.

Old man Liang said again: "When you were in elementary school, when you memorized texts, how did the teacher ask you to memorize them? ”

Where is this, how can this old man Liang be so weird like Ding Man's master, the white-haired old man, just talking about carp, suddenly changed to memorizing texts again, is it that all the old men in the world are so weird, although Zhao Zixian was strange in his heart, but at this time he was still preparing for the competition, so he followed the old man's words: "What else can I say about memorizing the text, isn't it just reading the text aloud over and over again, reading a sentence, remembering a sentence, reading it again, remembering it again." ”

I saw Old Man Liang smile slightly, and said: "That's right, don't think this method is stupid, when you read it, you can deepen your memory, and it can stimulate the brain's response more, it is much stronger than silent recitation in your heart, many things you have to read out to make a difference, you connect the name of this dish and read it quickly, read it a few more times." ”

Zhao Zixian had no choice but to comply, "Taro Carp Taro Carp ......" read so quickly, "Hey? ”

"Hehe," said the old man with a smile, "have you found it?" ”

Zhao Zixian nodded, even he was strange, he couldn't feel it when he only listened to it, he read it quickly, the taro of the taro was the same as the fish of the carp, and if he read it together, he couldn't control the pronunciation, and he didn't know if it was a taro carp or a sweetfish carp.

At this time, the old man said, "I don't know if you have heard of a legend. Without waiting for Zhao Zixian to speak, the old man said slowly: "In ancient times, when Dayu controlled the water, the cliff was precipitous, and a "dragon gate" was dug on the Yellow River circulating between Shaanxi and Shanxi, so that the water of the Yellow River was isolated, this gate seems to be like an artificial miracle, standing between the sky and the sea, and since then there has been mana, so in the future, every year when the spring flowers bloom and the ice and snow melt, there are thousands of carp from the Baihai Wanchuan River, which has been gathered on this dragon gate, competing to cross the dragon gate, and has since become a dragon. The turbulent waters of the Yellow River swept the carp back, and the carp jumped against the swim to jump over the upper dragon gate. But only 72 carp can cross the gantry every year. Whenever one is crossed, there will be colorful auspicious clouds falling from the sky, lightning and thunder, golden light bursting, and the carp will instantly turn into a dragon and fly away. ”

When Zhao Zixian heard this, he interrupted the old man softly and said, "I have also heard the story of this carp jumping over the dragon gate, but ......"

"You listen to me after I finish speaking, all you know is that the carp that broke through the dragon gate and turned into a dragon flew straight up, but there are only a few dozen of them every year, so where are the carps that have not passed?" The old man asked Zhao Zixian.

Not only Zhao Zixian can't answer this question, but no one seems to be able to answer it in the whole world, but the old man continued, "Carp is tall and gorgeous, delicious and delicious, and we have a saying in Huaxia since ancient times that "no carp is not a feast", and carp is not as expensive as bear's paw deer antler velvet and all kinds of rare birds, rich and noble people can eat it, and ordinary people can also eat it. Legend has it that the Queen Mother liked to eat carp meat the most, but every year there are 72 carp on the fairy world, since it is a fairy, it is impossible to eat, so the Queen Mother sent a maid around her to go down to earth every day, catch a few carp that can not jump over the dragon gate, and come back to enjoy. ”

Hearing this, although Zhao Zixian didn't speak, he thought in his heart, "Becoming a king and losing a thief has been like this since ancient times." That's how people are, and so is the little brute. If it doesn't work, it will be eaten. ”

Old man Liang continued: "But that maid has a very good heart, and every time she sees this lovely carp being caught and eaten, she feels very distressed, so she comes up with an ingenious idea. There are taro planted on both sides of the Yellow River, in ancient times, there was no feudal territory called the king, all the clansmen of each surname race lived together, their own clansmen cultivated the fields and livestocked, multiplied, the fields around the Yellow River happened to belong to the Li clan, and the taro was only called taro, so the taro planted by the Li clan was called Li taro, and the maid lied that overnight, because the flood flooded, disturbing the air veins of the water and soil in the world, all the carp became strange things overnight, referring to taro, When the queen mother came to check, the carp had long been obedient and hid under the water, not daring to move, and the queen mother listened to the mortal people when they planted the land and said that Li taro Li taro, thinking that this delicious carp had really become such an ugly thing, so she would no longer eat carp in the future. ”

"But among so many carp, there are also a few who are disobedient and only care about their own future. When the spring of the following year came, the Queen Mother unexpectedly found that another carp jumped on the dragon gate and turned into a dragon. Only then did he know that the maid had deceived herself, so she was furious and ordered Lei Gong to use lightning to split the maid to the mortal world. The maid was caught in lightning and fell into the Yellow River, dying, and in order to repay the grace of saving her life, Liyumen jumped into the hot rocks on the shore by herself, roasted herself, and then let the maid eat herself to recover her strength. ”

"This maid is kind-hearted, she is saving fish, how can she still eat fish, of course she refuses to eat, so Liyumen dug out the taro in the field for the maid to eat, the taro taste is smooth, very tender, the maid slowly ate it in the ecstasy, but the taro is just an ordinary crop in the end, and it can't save the maid's life, so the carp will mix its own meat with taro for the maid to eat, which saved the maid's life. After the maid was saved, she knew about it, and felt guilty, so she walked to the "dragon gate" in grief and indignation, after all, she had stayed in the fairy world, and she also had a lot of mana on her body, and suddenly her whole body was full of mana, and she hit the dragon gate with her body, and the dragon gate collapsed at that time, and the carp of course knew what she meant, and then they all jumped over the collapsed dragon gate. In this way, the maid died, and all the carp in the mortal world crossed the dragon gate and turned into dragons! ”

After the old man finished speaking, he sighed deeply, and said: "This carp jumps over the dragon gate, everyone knows his glamorous legend, how many people know the story of the second half of the story?" Since then, this taro carp dish has a magical power, even if the amount of food is large, no matter how greedy the person is, after eating a dish, he will immediately feel full, and within a day, he must not eat anything again. ”

After Zhao Zixian listened, his heart was pounding, when he was in school, he didn't believe in these legends and other things, what foolish man moved mountains, the legend of the golden axe and the iron axe, it was just a story, can the story be taken seriously? But since I got the "Spectrum of Eternal Life", I have made so many shocking dishes, and with the trip to Mount Tai, I finally understand that there are more than 10 million treasures in Huaxia, and these myths and stories cannot be easily blasphemed, maybe the gods are watching you from above.

The old man said again: "Ding Man knows that I have this recipe, and he has sent people to smash the store and grab things more than once, but every time he was beaten back by Qing'er, but this time, ...... As soon as you come, Qing'er will be in danger. ”

Zhao Zixian connected a red and a white, Qing'er was indeed trapped because of herself, but she shouldn't be in any danger now, the most dangerous thing for girls to watch TV series is a power outage, and they don't care about other things.

So the old man told Zhao Zixian the recipe of taro carp, and finally said: "This dish is also my family's ancestral secret recipe, the secret is that I have tried many methods to make carp and taro one, but I don't know how to make them one, and the recipe is not detailed, so there has never been a magical effect, so this time it depends on yourself." ”

Won't put? You've been talking about it for a long time, and you haven't succeeded yourself, what is this called? But it's better to learn one more dish than one less, and there's no other way around now.

After bidding farewell to the old man Liang, after asking the vegetable market again, Zhao Zixian rushed to the vegetable market, as expected, the pigs, cattle and sheep in the market were all bought by Ding Man, leaving only a few thin ducks, thin fish, some green vegetables and fruits and the like, it seems that Ding Man is planning to make things without ingredients, and then after scoring, he quickly makes some large-scale dishes to let the white-haired old man eat enough, then he can win, it is really despicable. Zhao Zixian later understood that the word despicable actually depends on how to say it, if you lose, it is called despicable, and if you win, it can be called - stratagem.

Zhao Zixian said in his heart: Ding Man, you also underestimate me Zhao Zixian, do you think that I am a villain who can only steal and play tricks like you. I'll use this little bit of stuff to win for you.

Thinking of this, he walked quickly to the Chef God Hotel, the long-legged beauties on the hotel passage are still so sexy, and these beauties know that Zhao Zixian has been in and out of the fifth floor, although they don't know what he does, but with these fish and duck dishes or something, it should be a new chef.

A man is holding these dishes in his hand, it is conceivable that the image is not very good, but these beauties don't seem to care, not only do they not look down on Zhao Zixian in the slightest, but there are even beauties who flatter Zhao Zixian. Zhao Zixian deeply felt that it was good to be rich and powerful, these beauties, it would take me a few months to distinguish who they were, and I didn't know any of them at all, so they saw me coming down from the fifth floor and began to seduce me. also made Zhao Zixian understand why the classmates around him like to tie up with rich people so much when he was in school, because when you are a dog next to a rich person, others will look at you more.

But Zhao Zixian will not choose to slap the rich man, not that Zhao Zixian doesn't like money, and he doesn't like to be looked at twice by beautiful women. Rather, it is far from enough, Zhao Zixian wants far more than these, what he wants is not for the beauty to look at himself twice, but for the beauty to look at himself, all to stay on himself, he does not attach to other people's bodies, he wants to become a representative of success.
