Synthesizing the fire of the two instruments is the most critical and difficult step in the whole yin meal making process. After Master taught me, he immediately taught me the recipes for two yin dishes. He said, "I'll tell you the two most basic recipes first, but the main ingredients can only be found in the underworld. Collect it when you return to the Netherworld! ”

With the recipe and the recipe, the rest is much simpler. After all, I've been a chef for so many years, do I still need to be taught by the master?

Soon, the month of my family leave in Nanting was coming to an end, and I said goodbye to my parents, my mother, and Master again, and returned to the provincial capital alone. The mustache had already gone to Yazhou City at this time, and I didn't have time to see him.

I spent two days walking around the provincial capital, mainly to buy some yang materials needed for fried yin meals, and by the way, buy some gifts to take back to the longevity restaurant. After preparing these things, in the end, my car was entrusted to Jin Dasco, and he sent me to Youlanxuan.

"After coming out to let the wind out, stay well when you go back, don't think about running around!"

Before leaving, Jin Dasco "instructed" me. I guess he'll have to talk about it every time he sees me in the future.

"Don't worry, I will definitely come back to you after I escape from prison and pull you into the water! Because my car is still with you! I laughed and retorted.

Finally, I waved at him in a dashing manner, and walked into Youlanxuan with a large backpack that was even more bulging than when I came up. Manager Sun and the cashier girl were surprised that I came back with a pot on my back. Hey, from now on, I've been a "backstabber" everywhere I go!

I went down to Yincheng and returned to the Longevity Hotel, my mood was much more refreshing than before the vacation, I greeted people when they saw ghosts, and I also stuffed candy into each other's hands.

When Yu Lazi saw it, he smiled and asked, "How is it?" I'm right, right? ”

"That's right! That's right! Dude, you're right! I laughed.

Wei Dahu has a different view. He said to Tian Laolu: "Look at this kid's proud appearance, he must have harmed more than one girl in the sun!" ”

"Definitely!" Tian Laolu is also rare to be old and not serious once, "Maybe just like you said, you will come back after sowing seeds!" ”

I couldn't laugh or cry. Do I look so?

After I came back, I also asked the people in the Changshou Hotel about the news in Zuoqiu City in the past month. There is a lot of gossip, and the most exciting of them is probably the rumor that the two ghost gangs of Skull Mountain and Earth Honeycomb are going to war!

Skull Mountain can be ranked second among the major ghost gangs, and it has been relying on the small and medium-sized gangs in the lower city to strengthen its power. The ground honeycomb is more conservative and generally does not expand outward excessively. But they consider the streets below their hives to be their natural sphere of influence, and the other small gangs in the vicinity have acquiesced to this.

But Skull Mountain doesn't care, they don't like to play cards according to common sense!

Skull Mountain has been encroaching on the territory near the hive of the ground honeycomb some time ago, and finally one day it crossed the line and touched the interests of the ground honeycomb. I heard that the Ghost Mother also sent a representative to negotiate with Skeletron and ask him to withdraw. But Skeletron has always only eaten and not vomited, and refused to give in.

It may not dare to mess with the hungry ghost pit yet, but the ground honeycomb has always been a thorn in its eyes, and it must be pulled out to feel comfortable!

As a result, the contradictions between the two ghost gangs ranked second and third in Zuoqiu City intensified, and they began to misfire, and there was even the possibility of a big war.

"If the fight really starts, I'm afraid the entire lower city will suffer!" I said to Wei Dahu, who told me the news.

He just shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "I'm not so nervous!" At present, the focus of the competition between the two sides is mainly a little lower than the 10th Street of the Left City, which is still five or six streets away from us! ”

"What if it's an all-out war?"

"There can be no all-out war!" Wei Dahu shook his head and categorically denied this possibility, "Whether it's the City Guards or the Ghost Division, it's impossible for them to mess around!" Small-scale gang wars may be inevitable, but a full-scale war between the two gangs is absolutely impossible! ”

"I hope so!"

I don't know where Wei Dahu's confidence comes from, but if it is as he says, it is always a blessing.

After I came back, in addition to working at the Changshou Hotel, I focused my energy on collecting ingredients. In the two Yin meal recipes that Master gave me, the ingredients needed were both ingredients and medicinal herbs. Moreover, since yin meals pay attention to the harmony of yin and yang, the materials of the yang and the underworld are also needed.

Among them, I have already brought back a lot of materials that can be bought in the yang world in advance. For example: cinnabar, glutinous rice and peach flour. These are all supreme yang things, which can be used to make up for the lack of yang energy in the materials collected in the underworld. And there are more materials that need to be purchased from the underworld, such as: ice crystals, nine ghost snake eggs, and dragon ginseng, etc., all of which are extremely yin things.

These ingredients and medicinal herbs are particularly expensive and cheap, some are sold anywhere, and there are also scarce materials that need to be booked in advance. But in general, with Zuoqiu City, the largest Yin City and the largest Yin Cultivation Gathering Place in the Netherworld, it is not too difficult to collect all these materials.

It took me about half a month to finally get all the ingredients ready. All the ingredients and herbs are stored in the Ruyi bowl, while the seasonings are stored in the Ruyi box, which is sorted and can be used as you like when you need it. All that's left is to do it yourself!

There is a ready-made kitchen in the Longevity Hotel, so I don't have to build my own stove. However, it is better for fewer people to know about this kind of more secret matter, so as not to explain it clearly. So I set the time for my first attempt at the middle of the night, when everyone was asleep, and no one would bother me.

That night, as usual, I practiced Yin Gong in the backyard first. At this time, there were a few guys who hadn't slept at this time, even if they saw me, they just joked casually: "Xiao Zhai is so diligent in practice, do you also want to be the imperial chef of Hades?" ”

They all know about my master being Feng Daozhang. But everyone didn't take this too seriously, after all, an outdated imperial dining room manager who was expelled decades ago didn't have much capital to brag about, and could only occasionally use it to make harmless jokes.

In the middle of the night, when I was about ugly, I saw that there was no one in the yard, so I quietly took all kinds of yin food materials to the kitchen. If someone sees it, I'm going to say that I'm hungry after practicing, so I'm going to open a small stove for myself and have some supper.

The first recipe for Yin food that Master taught me was called "Ice and Fire Egg Fried Rice", and the main ingredients required were cinnabar, glutinous rice, ice crystals, and Nine Snake Eggs.

The method is not difficult, first cook the cinnabar mixed with washed glutinous rice into red glutinous rice, and the glutinous rice attribute at this time is extreme yang. When the glutinous rice is stir-fried again, the ice crystals of the extreme yin and the nine snake eggs are added in time, and several ingredients with the same attributes in the pot are blended with the fire of the two instruments.

I tried to take a bite first, well, it tasted ok! And the ice crystals are crunchy when chewed in the mouth, which has a strange taste!

After eating the fried rice, you need to drink a bowl of soup to relieve the oiliness. The second Yin dish Master taught me was the "Flame Mushroom Soup", which required the main ingredients were: flame mushrooms, peach wood powder, ginseng, and underground ice spring water.

As the saying goes, the extremes of things must be opposed, and there must be an antidote where poisonous insects are. In the underworld, a place where yin qi is pervasive, some positive things will occasionally be found, and this is the case with the tobacco and tea leaves I gave to Jin Dasco and Zhao Laodao before. However, the flame fungus is even more rare, it is a rare extreme yang thing in the underworld, and its shape is like a flame-like red fungus creature, growing in the ashes of the volcanic lava lake.

In order to neutralize the yin and yang properties, it is necessary to boil the cold underground spring water underground. In the middle, various extreme yin tonics in the underworld such as ginseng can be added to completely balance the positivity of peach wood powder and flame bacteria. After slowly boiling for an hour with the fire of Liangyi, a bowl of tonic soup was boiled.

The taste of the flame mushroom soup is slightly bitter because there are many herbs in it. But the flame mushroom is smooth and tender in the mouth, and it tastes better than the mushrooms in the sun, which is worthy of being the rarest and most expensive of all the ingredients I have collected!

After eating two yin meals in a row, I suddenly felt comfortable, and the yin power in the dantian was extremely abundant, as if I had cultivated two more Great Zhou Tian. It seems that the function of Yin Meal is to use dietary therapy to add additional cultivation effects after daily Yin Gong cultivation and speed up the progress of cultivation.

After this first attempt, I became addicted to eating yin food, and almost every day I had to sneak into the kitchen in the middle of the night to open a small stove for myself. Ten days later, compared to the original practice of eating Yin Pill, the effect of eating Yin Meal was more obvious, and the cost was slightly lower. I've finally found a safer and more reliable way to quickly improve my cultivation!

With this know-how, I was more confident, and I planned to formally request the boss Teng Shuli to change to a nursing home in the Longevity Hotel after I had ascended to the third level of cultivation. Of course, my excuse was ostensibly that nursing homes were paid a bit more than cooks. In fact, I think from the bottom of my heart that in the extralegal place of Yin City, in the end, you still have to rely on your fists to speak, and the chef has no status here, no matter how good your ghost meal is, it's useless! If you want to wander in the underworld, you can't stay in the kitchen all day!

Besides, I have an even more ambitious goal: since I have come to the underworld with all the difficulty, I not only want to make a name for myself in Zuoqiu City, but also go to the underworld to prove myself, and also to correct the name of the master who was wronged back then!
