Chapter 9 Delicacies of the Mountains and Seas
When he saw the familiar kitchen again, he placed the stem on the counter and waved his hand to close the door to the otherworld. Chen Jian really relaxed. The experience from last night to the present is like a dream, and the godhead system in my mind seems to be my own hallucination.
But the mineral salt rocks in his pocket and the stalk of the one-meter-long mushroom monster really told him that this was not an illusion, not a dream, that he had really encountered a fantasy event, and had briefly traveled through time and space, and these two were his trophies.
"Holy Light Technique!" The incantation was recited again, but nothing happened.
Sure enough, there is no way to release magic on Earth. But why can the Gates of the Atlas be released? This can be studied as a subject for the Godhead system.
When I think of the Godhead system, because the time of contact is too short, I haven't studied it carefully. As the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.
Chen Jian is not afraid or repulsed by this accidental obtain, and chefs are a profession that is very good at using tools. Stoves, ovens, refrigerators, knives, the kitchen is a workshop full of tools, and a qualified chef must be proficient in using various tools to process ingredients and make dishes.
In his opinion, the Godhead system is a very useful tool, perhaps because it is a product of mutation combined with a computer, but it is full of a sense of high-tech.
Human beings have evolved from desktop computers to laptops, then to smartphones, and perhaps one day to have a smart computer in their brains. That's not what happened in science fiction movies.
"I'll give you a name, it's 'Alpha'." ALPHA is the α first letter of the Greek alphabet, which means beginning, beginning, and beginning. Chen Jian had a hunch that since he obtained the alpha system, his life had started a completely unimaginable new journey.
At present, the information in the alpha system database is composed of two parts, one is Chen Jian's memory data from childhood to adulthood, through alpha's query and playback, Chen Jian can not only recall what he ate on the morning of his first birthday, but also recall all the knowledge he has learned and seen.
Alpha's ability to analyze the composition of items is based on the combination of the periodic table in Chen Jian's memory and the chemistry knowledge he learned in middle school, plus its own analysis functions.
In addition to Chen Jian's own memories and knowledge, another part of the information comes from a trace of divinity that Charil has bestowed on Chen Jian's identity as an elector.
Divinity is an incredible substance, and although there is only a trace of it, it contains a huge amount of information, which has nothing to do with memories, but about the gods' understanding of the world and their own priesthood.
That's why the alpha system can provide information about various classes and spells in that magical world. Storing energy and spell structures is also one of the core functions of the Alpha system.
"It looks like we won't be able to cross it again anytime soon." Looking at the "Faith in Food" value that had been cleared again, Chen Jian sighed. At the same time, he was vaguely curious and looking forward to the world where magic could be used.
"I remember that the alien earth cat mentioned that her world was called Orende." Although he has inexplicably become a god's voter, Chen Jian still lacks reverence for his goddess, no way, who can have awe for a cute cat, so he still likes to use the nickname of the alien earth cat to refer to her.
Chen Jian checked the two space-time road signs marked on the "Gate of the Otherworld", one was the kitchen of his Liuwei Fang, and the other was the underground cave of Orlund.
At present, the functions of the alpha system are mainly three, Chen Jian is divided into three areas, data storage in the memory area, data analysis in the processing area, and skill management in the divinity area. While powerful, it's clearly not comprehensive.
I feel like I bought a server-level computer with a super configuration, but I didn't install any software except for a Windows operating system.
"It's too wasteful, do I have to sign up for a class and learn to code?" Chen Jian muttered to himself.
I opened my phone and searched for programming videos and textbooks, and now I have such a great system assistance, it shouldn't be difficult to learn programming.
"Wait, I seem to have overlooked something...... Chen Jian had a flash of inspiration.
Since the alpha system is based on a computer system, can I use it to surf the Internet?
"Alpha, search for wifi signal."
Soon the system searched for the public WiFi of Liuweifang, [Is it connected?] 】
"Connect!" Chen Jian excitedly gave an order.
Suddenly, Chen Jian felt an incomparably huge torrent of data rushing in, and countless messages that he could and couldn't understand were flowing endlessly, making him feel suffocated from drowning.
"Disconnect from the network!" Quickly shut down the system's network, and the short two-second connection had already made Chen Jian sweat.
Chen Jian realized that it was too dangerous for his immature system to connect to the network rashly, and the general computer had installed the TCP protocol (Transmission Control Protocol) and IP protocol (Internet Protocol) to standardize the computer's information transmission.
After stopping and thinking about it, Chen Jian had a new inspiration, he took out his mobile phone and gave a new command to the system: "Connect the Bluetooth data interface of the mobile phone." ”
Chen Jian uses the mobile phone as a springboard, and uses the mature software system and network functions of the smartphone to complete the connection between the alpha and the network.
Sure enough, this time it was very smoothly linked to the Internet, and the encrypted data packets that were previously incomprehensible like torrents can now be read normally and orderly. It was as if from a rough sea to a trickling stream.
"Search for programming learning materials and build a programming learning profile." Through the lessons just learned, Chen Jian realized that in order to better exert the capabilities of the alpha system, programming will be a very important ability.
After researching, Chen Jian found that although he can learn new skills very efficiently with the assistance of Alpha, he can't complete the learning process by simply copying and pasting information into the brain like in science fiction movies.
After copying the knowledge to the memory area, Chen Jian only knew, but did not learn, just like a teacher once said to him when he was a child, let him remember it to this day: rote memorization is useless, and knowledge that you don't think about is not your knowledge.
For example, even if you memorize all the formulas, you still can't solve math problems, because you haven't learned how to solve problems and how to use them flexibly. Memorization doesn't give you an idea of what knowledge to use and how to use it to solve a problem.
Therefore, the process of thinking and understanding is irreplaceable and omitted, but the memory ability of the alpha system is not simply unforgettable, memorizing, analyzing, combing, with the help of the alpha's learning auxiliary function, the learning process no longer needs to be memorized repeatedly, and it will be permanently mastered once understood. This kind of learning speed and efficiency will become terrifying.
But there is also a small drawback, after only ten minutes of learning, the mobile phone becomes hot. Chen Jian also growled with hunger.
In the absence of the belief value of food, the alpha system consumes the body's biological energy, so Chen Blade, who had just finished breakfast, felt hungry again.
Before the phone is still burned, this superhuman way of learning can only be temporarily stopped.
Ready to make something to eat, he naturally looked at the mushroom monster's stalk again, although the test results of the divine arts, and the composition analysis of Alpha showed that it was non-toxic and edible, but it was edible, which did not mean that it tasted good.
Chen Jian first cut a small piece, washed it, then slice it, took a small pot, put it in, and added water. The most straightforward way to learn about a new ingredient is to simmer it in water without any seasonings or other ingredients, and taste the original flavor of the ingredients.
While simmering, Chen Jian took out the natural salt ore again, and the light blue crystals had a sense of transparency under the light. In terms of composition, the purity of this piece of salt ore is very high, and there is almost no need to purify it again, he first knocked it into pieces with a small hammer, and then picked a smaller one, put it in a stainless steel bowl, and carefully grind it into fine particles with a pounding pestle, which is smaller than the particles of ordinary coarse salt.
I dipped my fingers a little and tasted it, it was salty, but it didn't have the irritating sensation of ordinary salt, a mild and long salty taste slowly dissolved and dissipated in the mouth, and finally there was a hint of sweet aftertaste. It's like walking on the beach in the evening, the salty sea breeze gently blows through your hair, the sea water rhythmically spreads over your ankles, and then the lover looks back and smiles and gives you a sweet kiss.
Why does the salty taste change to sweetness at the end, but it is really a unique and novel flavor.
The light sky blue crystals, elegant color, and a unique flavor that changes are a new and wonderful seasoning.
"The color of this salt is like a blue and clear sky, so let's call it the blue of the sky. In the future, it will definitely become the golden signature seasoning of Rokumibo. Chen Jian sighed that this crossing was worth the trip, and this salt alone was worth the risk.
After boiling for a quarter of an hour, Chen Jian opened the lid of the pot and gently stirred it with a spoon, but unexpectedly found that the mushrooms were completely gone, leaving only a pot of fragrant milky white soup.
Completely dissolved? This was the result that Chen Jian didn't expect, scooped a spoonful, blew lightly twice, and then slowly poured it into his mouth.
Fresh, there is only one feeling left, that is, fresh! The explosive umami flavor spreads from the tongue to the entire body!
As a chef, Chen Jian thinks that he has a gluttonous tongue, and having tasted thousands of delicacies, he naturally has an extremely picky taste. But in the face of this extreme umami, Chen Jian has a feeling of being conquered, the umami taste like the whole body is overpowered, making people feel that the original taste can reach such an extreme.
Superb, this is definitely the best ingredient.
Chen Jian looked at the giant fungus stalk placed on the cooking table again, his eyes lit up, as if he was looking at a treasure chest slowly opening.
This kind of feeling of discovering a treasure has not been felt by Chen Jian for a long time.
Compared with other children, Chen Jian's childhood was spent in the kitchen, every morning his father began to prepare and process the ingredients needed for the day, until the door closed at 10:30 in the evening, he was busy in the kitchen, and when his mother was there, when Xiao Chen Jian woke up, he took him to the kitchen, so that he could help with the kitchen and take care of the children at the same time.
After his mother died of illness, his father carried the sleeping Chen Jian into the kitchen in the early morning. The father, who is very good at knife skills, will use carrots or winter melons to cut all kinds of animals, flowers, and houses for Chen Jian as toys, and when other children are playing with toys such as building blocks, Chen Jian plays with all kinds of carved ingredients, as well as spoons, shovels and other kitchen utensils.
When he was five years old, Xiao Chen Jian began to pick vegetables in the kitchen, peeled potatoes at the age of six, stepped on the stool to help chop vegetables at the age of seven, because of the small strength, in order to learn to fit the noodles, his father taught Chen Jian the method of rolling the dough with bamboo bullets, using the long bamboo pole as a lever, using the gravity of the human body to crush the dough, so that the dough is evenly stressed, so that the pressed noodles also have unique toughness. Xiao Chen Jian felt like he was playing a seesaw, and he was enjoying it.
When watching other children play with plastic swords in the community, Xiao Chen Jian was not envious at all, I used real knives every day, and I dared to kill chickens and fish at the age of nine.
Every time he learns a way to handle ingredients, it is like opening a new treasure for Chen Jian.
And now, discovering a new world, there may still be many new ingredients like mushroom monsters, for Chen Jian, who is proud of his chef and proud of his cooking skills, it is like digging new treasures. This joy that he hadn't seen for a long time filled his heart.
"This mushroom monster is called Luxing Fresh Mushroom." Chen Blade gave the giant mushroom monster a name, and created a new data archive of this otherworldly creature in Alpha's database.
This short adventure allowed Chen Jian to receive a delicious seasoning and a superb ingredient.
Mineral salt is because of the movement of the earth's crust, so that the ancient seabed is raised, seawater precipitation crystallization, after hundreds of millions of years of geological extrusion and underground high temperature, the underground minerals and sea salt combined to form a "salt fossil", so its essence can be said to be a kind of sea salt.
And mushrooms are typical mountain delicacies, this salt and mushroom, can really be described as a different world of mountain and sea delicacies.
