Chapter 41: The Change of the Ritual
Lushui was also called Jinsha River in later generations, and it can be regarded as a place with allusions and legends.
Zhao Youqian brought Shang Xiuxun and Wei Zhenzhen here, in fact, the reason is very simple, that is, to lay the foundation for Wei Zhenzhen to practice the three essentials of cooking.
Bowls, heat, knives!
The bowl is about how to match seasonings and spices, which belongs to the taste of cooking.
As the name suggests, knife work is the processing of ingredients, texture, taste, color and shape.
Heat is the source of cooking, and it is difficult to call it a dish without fire, and even if there is a dish such as raw food, there are not many supporting roles in the process of passing through the flame in the real tasting, so heat is also the most important.
In addition to learning these three essentials, Wei Zhenzhen has mastered good white case skills, which is also an aspect that Zhao Youqian wants to deepen.
Therefore, coming to this Lushui side is equivalent to coming to the origin of pastries, especially fermented pastries.
This is the place where Zhuge Wuhou used the barbarian head instead of the real blood food to sacrifice to the river god, which can be regarded as one of the turning points of the cooking sacrifice from barbarism to more civilization.
Practicing in this place, Zhao Youqian believes that if Wei Zhenzhen can feel the spirit of the chef who once sacrificed to make dishes, it will be indelible for her future path, and lay the most solid foundation for the white case cook.
However, before the cooking training, the first thing Zhao Youqian needs to change is... Wei Zhenzhen has a rather weak physique!
Of course, this weakness is relative, as far as an ordinary woman is concerned, Wei Zhenzhen, who often takes care of housework and even cooks, is not weak.
However, compared to the chef who can easily spin the chained iron arm thick for an hour or two, she is too thin and unable to handle many cooking techniques, even ingredients.
Zhao Youqian didn't need to check it with an innate Qi to know that Wei Zhenzhen was indeed relatively poorly qualified, and even if he practiced the inner cultivation method in the Tang world, he might not have the sense of qi in three or five years.
However, he is not a person in this world, and his method of enhancing Wei Zhenzhen's physique is not the so-called martial arts, but a more original cooking method, that is, the practice of rituals in the food world!
Of course, the primary ritual method he taught was not the same as that given to Xie Wenyuan.
In the world of food, because of the existence of food cells, many steps are omitted, and the core part of the ritual is directly started to reconcile the body and mind, communicate with the world, and even integrate into the behavior.
But Wei Zhenzhen is different, she doesn't have gourmet cells, and she doesn't even have too many extraordinary physiques.
Therefore, if she wants to learn the primary ritual, she must first sense the majesty of the darkness between heaven and earth, and sacrifice it with her heart, so that she can begin to reconcile her body and mind and communicate the steps of heaven and earth, otherwise even if she learns all the movements of the primary ritual, she will only learn an outer kung fu to strengthen her body.
may not be able to make your cooking skills in the ordinary, jumping out of the most critical step to be extraordinary.
This is the reason why she chose to come to Lushui, Wei Zhenzhen has a talent for pasta white cases, so this is a turning point for the former sacrifice change, which is of great help to her to understand the spirit contained in the pastry, echo the humanity in the underworld, heaven and earth, and even the power of the long river of fate and history.
Of course, this is Zhao Youqian's own opinion, after all, it is another world, whether it will be like this or not, it depends on whether Wei Zhenzhen and this world can recognize the way of sacrifice.
On the bank of the Lushui, Zhao Youqian took advantage of the Heavenly Gourmet System to use the power of a hundred ghosts from all walks of life in the Heavens, plus the point system to exchange for daily necessities, and in front of Shang Xiuxun and Wei Zhenzhen, a house was built in an instant.
And looking at the appearance, it is not said to be very ingenious, but it also surpasses the yards of many rich families.
Not to mention Wei Zhenzhen, who didn't know Zhao Youqian's details, he felt incredible when he looked at this method like an immortal, and even Shang Xiuxun was taken aback when he roughly knew Zhao Youqian's ability.
"Do you still have what it takes?"
A look of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes, although Shang Xiuxun was a little surprised, it was not too strange, there were places like the Heavenly Pavilion, and the others were really not strange.
"It's just a little convenience, and you haven't noticed? In fact, there are changes in you! ”
Zhao Youqian smiled, let the two girls into the house to rest, and then opened her mouth to Shang Xiuxun, making her a little strange.
Wei Zhenzhen was stunned by a pile of never-before-seen furniture, kitchen utensils, and even hall furnishings as soon as she entered, and she didn't pay attention to the communication between the two for a while.
"What do you mean? What has changed in me? ”
Shang Xiuxun was curious, she felt that she was very good, especially recently, her spirit has improved a lot, and she didn't know if it was because she had been with Zhao Youqian for a long time.
"Do you really think that ordinary people in the realm of heaven and man can continue to precipitate like this without continuing to break through?"
"Because of the existence of the system of the Heavenly Pavilion, you can continue on this path... Fortunately, your world also had such a glorious era of the system. ”
"You should have heard of the pre-Qin Qi practitioner, right?!"
Glancing at Shang Xiuxun, Zhao Youqian finally explained the reason why Shang Xiuxun had been digging deeper in the realm of heaven and man.
The world of Datang has already changed, and martial arts in this world are respected, but before the era of martial arts, there was another era that was the era of qi practitioners, and that immortal recipe was actually the product of qi practitioners.
This is also the reason why it is known as the Four Great Wonder Books, but almost no one can practice the longevity formula.
It's not a system, you don't hang up after you learn it, it's already considered lucky, and you still want to successfully complete the practice? It's a dream.
That is, after entering the realm of heaven and man, the concept between the systems has been blurred, and Shang Xiuxun can get something from the longevity formula.
Instead of continuing to walk towards the shattered void of the last level of the martial arts realm.
She had already guessed, Shang Xiuxun nodded thoughtfully, but she didn't care much about it, but looked at Wei Zhenzhen who was still shocked, ran to the best chef in her eyes in the future, and patted her.
"Don't be nervous, this will be a place for you to train and practice, slowly get used to it, many things are still very convenient, come and I will teach you."
The house made by Zhao Youqian has both classical things and modern home furnishings, so Shang Xiuxun is not surprised, he took Wei Zhenzhen upstairs, many things are private words of girls, but he can't let him hear them in person.
...
Three days later, on the bank of Lushui, Zhao Youqian and Shang Xiuxun looked at Wei Zhenzhen, who had begun to slowly practice formally for the first time according to the primary ritual, and couldn't help but be a little nervous.
After all, this is the first time that this world has opened the world, what will be the result, not to mention Shang Xiuxun, even Zhao Youqian is not sure, the only thing that is certain is that there will definitely not be any too bad results.
And as Wei Zhenzhen's movements went down step by step, the originally calm Lushui River suddenly became turbulent, and there seemed to be something huge about to break through the water under the rolling river.
Even the golden crow above the sky was obscured by a few dark clouds...
