Chapter 267: A Magical Recipe
The keyboard crackled, and Ling Ping was immersed in his own world.
Tuk Tuk ......
There was a knock at the door.
Ling Ping'an raised his head and saw An Xiaoxiao's figure.
"Please come in!" He immediately said enthusiastically.
An Xiaoxiao pushed open the door, walked in, looked at Ling Ping'an, she was blessed, and said sweetly: "Ling Gongzi, where are your clothes?" ”
Ling Ping'an smiled and lifted the three bags of clothes that had been prepared long ago from under the counter and handed them over: "Thank you for your hard work!" ”
"You're welcome!" An Xiaoxiao mentioned the clothes, blessed them again, and then left the bookstore.
As a non-commissioned officer of the Black Guard, she has now slowly come into contact with the world of the Transcendent.
Those powerful characters who go to heaven and earth, in anime and games, do exist in reality.
Fantasy is not unreal, it's reality!
It's just that......
She still didn't know why this ordinary bookstore was so special.
"Maybe that Ling Gongzi is a hermit powerhouse who lives in seclusion here......" she thought.
There are many such people.
Great seclusion in the city, this is the tradition of the Federal Empire.
The sages and saints hidden in the bustling city observe the changes in the world.
Unless it is a last resort, we will interfere with the world.
Therefore, there is a folk proverb: where there are saints in 500 years.
Thinking of this, An Xiaoxiao became happy, because she felt that she was doing a very honorable thing!
She sang cheerful pop songs and rode a small electric donkey, and opposite her, a small electric donkey of almost the same color came towards her.
Riding a small electric donkey is a young girl about her age.
She has long flowing hair, sweet and cute.
It's just that......
The taste of psionic energy on the girl's body is obvious.
Out of professional habits, An Xiaoxiao stopped the little electric donkey and looked at each other.
The other party also saw An Xiaoxiao, so he cautiously stopped the little electric donkey and showed a flattering smile.
"Officer!" She handed out a certificate to An Xiaoxiao: "This is my registration certificate!" ”
Obviously, she saw the emblem of the black-clothed guard carved on Ann's little electric donkey with spiritual power that only transcendents could see.
An Xiaoxiao took the documents and glanced at them.
It is indeed a registration document issued by the Federal Imperial Migration Service.
A legitimate, licensed transcendent.
Michiko Chiba, registered as a legal outlier of Fuso Fox Girl, and, with the commendation seal jointly stamped by multiple departments.
This shows that this fox girl has been abiding by the law for more than three consecutive years in the territory of the Federal Empire.
So, she returned it, didn't say anything, and rode on the little electric donkey and continued to move forward.
It's just that I have a question in my heart: "Isn't this place forbidden for transcendents to enter without permission?" ”
"Did she get permission?"
From the rearview mirror of the electric donkey, An Xiaoxiao saw the Fusang fox girl, carrying something that seemed to be a takeaway food box, and walked into the bookstore.
She nodded: "There should be permission......
………………
Michiko Chiba, carrying a takeaway food box, walked into the bookstore.
She was accustomed to the Blackguard enforcers she had just met.
In this country, the Blackguard has the right to inspect every transcendent or alien he encounters at any time to determine the condition of the other person.
It's a bit of a hassle though.
But as long as you obey the law, there will be no problem.
And Michiko Chiba is happy to trade such trouble for security.
In this country, she enjoys the freedom that comes with security.
Safe......
The daily routine that this country is accustomed to is something that many countries are desperately lacking.
So, Michiko Chiba, as usual, smiled sweetly and delivered the takeaway box she brought to the counter.
"Lingsang, this is the pork chop rice you wanted!"
Ling Ping'an took the food box and opened it to see that there was a fragrant pork chop and additional caviar, which was piled up full, looking golden and golden, which made people's appetite move.
"Thank you so much!" Ling Ping'an thanked him as usual.
"By the way......" He ate caviar and said to Michiko Chiba, "Chiya-chan, are your aunt and cousin here?" ”
"Hmm!" Michiko Chiba bowed and said, "My aunt's plane yesterday has been picked up at home!" ”
"After my cousin finishes the college entrance examination, she will fly straight to Jiangcheng!"
"That's good!" Ling Ping'an nodded.
"Lingsang!" Michiko Chiba suddenly said, "I'm also going to apply for a night school!" ”
Ling Ping'an raised his head, gave a thumbs up, and praised: "Qianye-chan is really ambitious!" ”
Michiko Chiba bowed and thanked: "Thank you Lingsang for your encouragement!" ”
"If you hadn't kept telling me the importance of learning, I wouldn't have the courage to do this!"
The night school is a product of the Gojong period.
At that time, it was mainly a learning environment for the majority of workers who came to the city.
Therefore, night classes are basically related to vocational skills training.
Therefore, Michiko Chiba is going to study at a chef-related technical school.
And the Federal Empire has policy support for this.
Any night school in the empire was state-owned or state-subsidized.
Tuition, no fees, and subsidies for carriages and horses are also provided.
After thinking about it, Reihean stood up and said to Michiko Chiba, "I don't have anything good either...... I'll give you a cookbook......"
As a strong foodie, Ling Ping'an has an unusual pickiness for food.
Therefore, he also has some recipes that he has collected in his spare time.
Those, recipes handed down from ancient chefs.
The value of these precious things is immeasurable.
At the very least, Ling Ping thinks they are priceless.
So, he solemnly opened the cabinet behind him, took out a thin yellowed booklet from it, handed it to Michiko Chiba, and said, "This is the crystallization of the wisdom of many ancient sages!" ”
Fusang fox girl bowed again and again: "This gift is too heavy......"
She looked at the pamphlet that had been handed over.
On the slightly yellowed cover, the handwriting with a brush is written in faded handwriting.
"Spiritual Food".
That's the name of this recipe.
Looking at it, Michiko Chiba couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
She clearly felt the endless wisdom exuded in this booklet.
That's the wisdom she has spent all her life and will enjoy!
"Alas......" Ling Ping'an directly stuffed the booklet in his hand into Chiba Michiko's hand: "This thing is something I got occasionally......"
"A private note from a famous chef......"
"I'm also in it, adding a little bit of personal opinion......"
"I hope Qianye-chan won't be disgusted!"
As a qualified foodie, Ling Ping is very fond of innovation and how to make food more delicious.
If he wasn't too lazy, Ling Ping'an would have thought he was running a restaurant entirely.
Michiko Chiba touched the pamphlet in her hand.
In a trance, she understood something.
It's a mission!
Glorious mission!
When she took over this booklet, she had already taken over this great sacred mission.
This mission is to blend mortal food into spiritual food containing rich spiritual energy, turn decay into magic, and benefit thousands of people!
This is indeed a great mission!
So, Chiba Michiko bowed deeply: "Lingsang, I will definitely live up to your expectations!" ”
"I will definitely make better food to serve the public!"
She looked up, her gaze unwavering.
In Chiba Michiko's opinion, this familiar guest may be the heir of an ancient family.
For some reason, he lived in seclusion here and did not reveal his identity.
But he secretly observed, choosing those that could be made, and leading them on their own path.
This is the plot of Michiko Chiba, which has been seen in many stories.
It is also the details of many legends that she has heard about since coming to this country.
A righteous and generous gentleman with the world in mind.
Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself.
They guard the world and look at the world with the same morality and mind as saints.
They silently lead the times and quietly change the world.
Let everything develop in the direction of the ideal world of great harmony.
Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a story of the so-called 'Sage of the Bamboo Forest'.
In modern times, everything in this country seems to show that the legend is true!
Now, the facts are even more present.
This made Michiko Chiba really flattered and frightened, and she felt a great responsibility on her shoulders!
As for why, the sage of the Federal Empire would pass on such secret knowledge to her from Fuso?
This is well understood.
In the eyes of a gentleman, all over the world are one family.
National borders cannot limit their profound and far-reaching thoughts.
Just like those sages who traveled around the world more than 2,000 years ago.
The disciples of Confucius came from all over the world.
Mencius's disciples also came from various countries.
Confucius and Mencius did not discriminate against his disciples because of their country.
Because they have greater ambitions and ideals.
This ambition and ideal, summed up is - the selection of talents and ability, the world for the public, the letter and harmony, so that people do not only kiss their relatives, not only their sons, so that the old have the end, the strong have usefulness, the few have growth, widows, widows, lonely and disabled people, all have support!
In the face of such great aspirations and ideals, the so-called national borders naturally disappear.
And Fusang is also one of the world!
Just like the vassal states of the Confucian and Mencian eras.
This made the heart of the Fuso fox girl full of a sense of responsibility.
She bowed again and again, revealing her heart.
Ling Ping'an looked at it and sighed in his heart: "Sure enough, it is worthy of being the queen of Fusang!" ”
The image of the Fuso people in the hearts of the people of the Federation has always been that of 'observing etiquette and knowing how to advance and retreat'.
Except for the rebellion of the Japanese in the previous dynasty, most of the time, it was a friendly neighbor with a strip of water.
In the last 300 years, it has been a "model kingdom" of "good neighborliness and friendship".
Coupled with the same language and species, Fuso and the Federal Empire are irrefutable countries in the 'realm of the world'.
The relationship between the two, according to historians, is probably the relationship between the 'Dali Kingdom' and 'Tubo Kingdom' of the Tang and Song dynasties and the Central Dynasty.
is part of the historical process.
In other words, in the eyes of historians, sooner or later, the world will be unified.
In reality, in fact, as long as the Federal Empire hooks its fingers, the Fuso Kingdom will happily announce the start of the legal process to join the Federal Empire.
But real interests prevent this possibility.
The other independent kingdoms of the Federal Empire did not want another so-called fraternal kingdom to share the cake and power.
Thinking of this, Ling Ping'an had no choice but to encourage Michiko Chiba: "Come on, Qianye-chan!" ”
"I hope that in the future, you can become a world-famous chef!"
"Bringing the joy and enjoyment of food to everyone!"
Michiko Chiba listened, and was even more sure of her judgment.
Really......
He is the legendary sage who lives in seclusion in the city!
No wonder, he can easily see through his disguise, and at the same time kindly remind him.
Really......
In Chiba Michiko's mind, there is only what Emperor Taizu of the Federal Empire once said: The great man of chivalry, for the country and the people!
In an instant, Ling Ping'an became incomparably tall and burly in her eyes.
She clenched the booklet in her hand tightly and bowed deeply: "Lingsang, I will definitely not disappoint your expectations!" ”
"I swear that I will heal the world with food!"
This is her ideal.
It's also her ambition.
Heal hearts with good food.
Especially the hearts of the people of Fuso!
One day, she will go back.
It's like the Tang envoys in history, those great figures.
Just like in the past 300 years, groups of summer envoys have learned the advanced culture and technology of this country and returned to help their compatriots.
Benevolence, etiquette, loyalty and filial piety......
It's always healing!
She can't do that, but she can use good food!
……………………
Riding a small electric donkey, Michiko Chiba happily returned to her home.
It's a home in a quaint alley in the city of River.
It is also home to many Fuso expatriates.
She pushed open the door, and both father and mother, both turned their heads and looked at her: "Michiko is back......"
"Did the delivery go well?"
"It went very well!" Michiko Chiba happily replied, "Lingsang also encouraged me!" ”
"That's good!" Chiba Michiko's father, Chiba Tadajin, said with a smile.
He's not as innocent as Michiko Chiba.
All kinds of clues have pointed to the fact that his daughter is serving a big man with a high status!
But he was smart and never asked.
Because this is his daughter's chance.
Chiba Tadajin, who is a devout Buddhist, is very superstitious about cause and effect.
For him, every drink and peck, there is a predetermined.
Just like back then, in the ruins of Osaka, he picked up this newborn fox girl.
He knew that it was his cause and his effect.
He was destined to raise this fox girl to grow up.
Sure enough, after picking up the fox girl and adopting him, his refugee application was approved.
The family crossed the ocean and came to this new place, started a restaurant business, and lived a prosperous and comfortable life.
This is the reward of his good deeds.
So, he smiled and served his daughter her favorite caviar, and then said, "Michiko, I have already enrolled you in Jiangcheng City's chef night school, and you can go to study tonight......"
"It's still important to survive here and localize!"
"Hmm!" Michiko Chiba nodded heavily.
She was about to tell her father that she had been gifted with a magical cookbook by Lingsang.
When I touched my pocket, the book in my pocket was gone.
She was stunned, and the appearance of the pamphlet appeared in her mind.
The yellowed pages have been opened.
The first recipe comes to mind.
The name of this dish is: Smoked Pork Chops.
It looks like a very ordinary dish, and the name of the dish is very simple.
But in fact......
Just looking at the extremely complex processing techniques, and feeling the various blending techniques that are so complicated that people's heads explode.
Michiko Chiba already understands that this is a magical spiritual food beyond imagination.
Ordinary pork chops are made into spiritual food that even the transcendent will salivate.
It has the miraculous effect of restoring spiritual power and healing all kinds of incredible injuries and diseases!
The taste is even more unimaginable!
"Such a delicacy ......" Michiko Chiba sighed, "Do I really have a chance to make it in my life?" ”
Fuso fox girl, began to have a serious lack of self-confidence.
Because this spiritual food not only has too many magical techniques that she can't understand.
It is also necessary to have a certain psionic foundation!
"It seems that even if it is food, it needs to have spiritual energy......" The fox girl, who had always resisted cultivation before, had the idea of taking the initiative to cultivate for the first time.
Because, she wants to heal people's hearts.
But......
Here, even if it is a cultivation, you need to apply and be approved.
Michiko Chiba, remember all the legal processes.
First, you need to fill out an application form.
Then, it will be approved, and at the same time as the approval, a batch of cultivation materials will be sent.
However, if you accept the cultivation materials of the Black Guard, you must work for the Black Guard.
When necessary, respond to call-up orders.
Of course, she can refuse and be self-reliant, in that case, there will be no additional obligations.
But the problem is that it is almost impossible to obtain enough cultivation materials here, except for the official.
So......
Michiko Chiba, after thinking about it again and again, still made up her mind.
"Can I apply to be a support person......"
This requires her to report to the top, her own abilities.
In other words, you must explain the spiritual food cooking technique that you will obtain.
"I hope that in the future, you can become a world-famous chef......"
"Bringing the joy and enjoyment of food to all......"
Lingsang's encouragement sounded in his ears.
Michiko Chiba understood.
She should report!
So, she silently finished her caviar, then walked back to her bedroom and took out the application form from the bedroom drawer, which had been stored for a long time.
There are tables for every outlier.
She then began filling out forms to apply to become a supernumerary support for the Blackguard.
The reason for the application is written: Make delicious spiritual food dishes, provide delicious spiritual food for the monarchs, and heal and dispel all kinds of ominous things.
She wrote very seriously.
After I finish writing, I sign solemnly.
Then, she picked up her phone and dialed the number on the application form.
Report your number and registration information.
An hour later, a black-clad officer came to the door and took her application.
"Miss Chiba, please wait for three working days, after three working days, someone will come to the door to read whether your application is successful......"
"Okay!" Michiko Chiba nodded repeatedly.
"By the way...... the officer asked as he left, "will you continue to deliver food?" ”
Michiko Chiba looked at each other and nodded very seriously: "Of course!" It is my wish to deliver delicious food to every guest! ”
Especially Reisan!
Every time I see Rei-sang eating happily, Michiko Chiba feels very satisfied!
This joy cannot be replaced by anything else.
The other party seemed to be a little regretful: "That's it, then I wish you a happy life!" ”
He solemnly put the application form into a secret jade box, and then walked out of the door in the farewell of Chiba Michiko's family.
