Chapter 49: The Chasm
After thinking about it for a while, Yunluo drew up a menu: Dongpo meat, squirrel fish, braised stone head, bamboo shoot pork rib soup, and a roast duck.
Most of the ingredients for making these foods at home are now available, so it is not very troublesome, so although I made several more dishes than usual, Yunluo made them all in one hour.
Yunluo tasted it, it was as delicious as ever, and looked at his still white and pink hands, and thought in a trance that he didn't make it himself, and he couldn't believe it.
Now the pot used by Yunluo is not much different from modern times, and the stone pot has long been eliminated, but the bamboo tube will occasionally be used to stew rice, since Yunluo discovered the metal mine, not only made weapons, but also changed the kitchen utensils at home.
The metal is refined by herself, and Yunluo has only watched a few videos of striking iron for smelting, and she doesn't know anything about it, Yunluo started her smelting guidance with a primer on smelting that she brought at the beginning.
On paper, it is finally shallow, only a few words on the book can not work, there are a lot of troubles encountered when really smelting, but the general small problems Yunluo can find a way to solve by himself, but about the temperature is not enough, Yunluo has been thinking for a long time and can't solve it.
The ancient metal is different from the earth, a bit like iron and copper, but it is neither iron nor copper, and Yunluo can't completely refer to the steps in the book, but Yunluo thinks that no matter what smelting, the most important thing is to purify, and then fill the mold, so he refers to the purification and mold in the book, Yunluo originally wanted to refine the metal into something similar to steel, but during the smelting process, he found that the temperature could not meet the requirements, Yunluo managed to make a sealed furnace by himself and made some coke by himself, but because of materials and technical reasons, In the end, the temperature was not enough.
In the end, Yunluo's plan fell through, and it was molded only with high-temperature forging, but there were no professional tools, and the mold was not standard, so the things created were not very standard, and the non-standard weapons were touched by Yunluo and could make do, as for the kitchen utensils, I didn't want the shape of the weapon to be as simple, so even if it was built, it could only be said that it could only be used, and it was a luxury to be beautiful or something, and the pot Yunluo is using now is uneven or oval on the edge of the pot.
Yunluo finished cooking, and was a little curious why Xiao Lori and Xiao Bai hadn't come yet, so she went to the yard to take a look.
"Qibao, why don't you say Ling'er, why are they still awake yet, why do they wake up later than me every time, I feel quite strange, doesn't it mean that the worse the exercises, the less time to meditate" Yunluo didn't think much about it at first, but now he suddenly remembered that Xiao Lori and the two of them had not been awake late for the past two years, so he was puzzled.
Xiao Lori and Xiao Bai's exercises, although they belong to the top exercises in the ancient wilderness, but compared to Yunluo, they are still slightly inferior, the better the exercises, the higher the bonus to practice, logically speaking, Xiao Lori should quit cultivation before Yunluo, but there has not been a single one in the past two years, even if it is sober at the same time, which makes Yunluo feel quite strange.
"I didn't pay attention to this" Qibao also felt a little strange after listening to Yunluo's question, but it hadn't started cultivating yet, and it didn't know so much about these cultivations, so there was no way to answer Yunluo's question.
"I think this question needs your attention, the ancient Dao is natural, and there are restrictions on cultivation, if you force it, the gains outweigh the losses, you can ask Ling'er to see if it is harmful to them." Qibao thought about it for a while, but put aside the doubts in his heart first, and put forward a relatively mild suggestion.
"It's okay this way, it's convenient to cultivate, I don't know as much as Ling'er, although I know that she shouldn't forcibly cultivate and improve, but I still have to ask to rest assured." Yunluo also agrees with Qibao's opinion.
After another half an hour, Xiao Lori and Xiao Bai finally woke up from their cultivation.
"It's so fragrant, what delicious food did you make today, why is it so fragrant" Little Lori just came back to her senses, and she felt a strong fragrance hooking herself.
"Yes, Yunluo, what delicious food did you make today" Xiaobai felt that your own saliva was about to flow out.
"Hee-hee, serve the food right away, you'll know later." Yunluo didn't answer the two, but went to serve the rice and fill the dishes.
"Wow, that's so much" Looking at the food on the stone table, little Lori exclaimed. "These are all things that my sister hasn't done, I haven't eaten them before."
"Yes, it looks like I'm hungry, Yunluo, then hurry up, we're going to eat" Xiaobai shouted to Yunluo, who was still filling the soup in the kitchen.
"That's it, I'll give Qibao some soup first" Yunluo's voice came from the kitchen.
"I know it's like this, it's like this every time, eccentric" Xiao Bai angrily poked the rice with chopsticks, and wanted to start the meal directly without waiting for the clouds to fall, but when he thought of something, his face changed a little, and he still didn't do it.
After Yunluo poured a pot of soup for Qibao, he hurriedly went to the place to eat. "Okay, now it's time to eat, do you need me to introduce you to these dishes?" Yunluo thought that Xiao Lori and Xiao Bai hadn't eaten these dishes, so he asked.
"Okay, okay, sister, tell us about it," Xiao Lori steadily clamped a braised lion's head and stuffed it into her mouth, closed her eyes in anticipation, and said in anticipation. Although Xiaobai didn't speak, his expression was full of joy.
"What you eat now is called braised lion's head, Huaiyang's famous dish, also known as Sixi meatballs, generally speaking, there are only four on a plate" said Yunluo looked at a pot of meatballs and suddenly felt embarrassed, "The characteristic is that I think it is fragrant, golden in color, fresh and salty, crispy, of course, I can't reach this level, I'm just a general homely practice" Yunluo glanced at the lion head he made, and quickly added.
"My sister's cooking is also delicious," Lori said disapprovingly. "Why are it called Sixi balls, which is the joy of death" The more Lori eats, the more delicious she feels, and the chopsticks keep reaching for the basin containing the braised stone head.
"Four joys, it is said to be Fulu Suxi, and the good wishes of a person's life are in these four words" Yunluo was also very happy when he saw that little Lori was eating happily.
"I still don't understand too much," Xiao Lori gave Yunluo an ignorant look in her busy schedule of picking up vegetables.
"Okay, I forgot that you haven't been exposed to this attempt, I'm explaining it in detail" Yunluo also felt that his head was a little funny, and explained in detail, "Fu is a blessing, and more detailed is to hope for a smooth life, longevity is life, that is, to hope to live a long time, this Lu is to be an official, I hope to gain fame and fortune, as for the joy, it should be married, that is, two people live together to give birth to children, I don't know what to say in the words of the ancients." Yunluo tried to explain in plain language.
"Oh, that's it" Little Lori's reaction was relatively cold when she heard it, she felt that these four joys were not worthy of the name, and they were completely unworthy of the hope of life. "Why is my sister pursuing these things, how do you feel like you're wasting your life?"
"Ah, these things?" Yunluo listened to Xiao Lori's words and was taken aback, saying that even if she was relatively weak in fame and fortune, she still had more hope for the other three, but in Xiao Lori's mouth, these were all disliked.
After thinking about it for a while, Yunluo found the reason, the reason why little Lori felt that it was a waste of life was because these things were not applicable to the creatures of the Ancients, lifespan was not a problem, the status could be fought for by oneself, and the like a partner didn't seem to be a necessity, as for the blessings, the only way to grow in the Ancients was to continue to sharpen that, smooth sailing was not so expected.
"It's just the non-stop of the two cultures, the expectations of Sixi should be like the pursuit of the Great Dao by the ancients," Yunluo could only sigh in the end, she also wanted to carefully talk about how many expectations of the Chinese nation Sixi carried, but she realized that no matter how profound the words were and how sharp the words were, there was no one who could feel the same way as her.
Next, Yunluo talked about the rest of the dishes, probably influenced by what he had just done, Yunluo only briefly introduced the taste and method, and the story behind the food was not mentioned, Yunluo had discovered that the gap between the two different worlds was really not something that words could cross.
Little Lori is very interested in Yunluo's introduction.,I've been eating and listening.,It feels like taking what Yunluo said as a meal.,Among these dishes,What she likes the most is the braised lion's head.,It's not because of the story.,But this dish just fits her taste.,She ate half of a pot of vegetables herself.。
As for Xiaobai, although he was also listening, he didn't take it to heart at all, the meal was over, and he only remembered that his favorite dish was called Dongpo meat, and the one that Xiaobai loved to eat was called Sixi Meatballs, as for the rest, he didn't remember anything, he didn't put everything in his heart, and his mentality was called a free and easy.
"Ling'er, why do you practice longer than me," Yunluo suddenly thought of the doubt just now and asked.
Little Lori, who was burping, suddenly heard Yunluo's question, and her face changed suddenly, but she quickly covered it up again. It's natural to ask, "What's wrong, isn't that weird?" "The eyes are clear and innocent.
"It's nothing, I'm just afraid that you will have problems with your cultivation when the time comes, doesn't it mean that you can't force your cultivation" Yunluo said indifferently while eating.
"Oh, this, there's no problem, our clan's secret method can be like this, and it won't hinder its own foundation" Little Lori heard Yunluo say this, and secretly observed her again, and relaxed.
When Yunluo asked, Xiaobai also heard it, and held his claws in an instant, but he noticed that he was out of shape, and quickly let go, so he pretended to pat his stomach easily, but Yunluo didn't notice these movements, but Qibao looked at it and calmed down.
