Chapter Seventy-Two: Yin and Yang Food Sutra

The Bai family's kitchen knife actually has a lot of origins.

It is said that it was Bai Song---- the second generation of the Bai family, that is, Bai Chang's grandfather, a magic weapon used back then.

But the ancestor of the first generation of the Bai family felt that although the Bai family was born as a chef and opened a restaurant, it was really a bit unreasonable to use a kitchen knife as a magic weapon.

This Nima is walking in the rivers and lakes with a kitchen knife, how cold is it?

So, he confiscated the kitchen knife and only allowed it to be used in the restaurant, and was not allowed to take it out to be embarrassed.

It wasn't until the old ancestor returned to heaven that this kitchen knife really played his role, and Bai Chang's grandfather took the kitchen knife and walked the rivers and lakes to subdue demons and exorcise demons. He also used the peerless cooking skills of the Bai family to make the Bai family famous and shocked the world, and since then it has really established the status of the Bai family in the rivers and lakes.

Therefore, this kitchen knife has made great contributions.

At that time, there was a good saying: The world's delicacies are all white pines, and where the demons are slayed, don't dare to disobey.

Demon slayer, that's the name of this kitchen knife.

It's a pity that later, the world changed dramatically, and this kitchen knife gradually withdrew from the rivers and lakes with the Bai family, and he could only hide his sharpness and brilliance in this kitchen, cut vegetables all day long, and spend the rest of his life.

But, now this kitchen knife is finally coming back out of the rivers and lakes.

Bai Chang looked at the demon slayer kitchen knife in his hand, his heart was surging, and it took a long time to recover.

Next, it's time to make preserved egg and thin ghost porridge.

This porridge is a kind of porridge that became popular in Guangdong, China, with preserved eggs cut into small pieces and salty lean meat as ingredients, boiled slowly over low heat, and then added sesame oil and chopped green onion when eating, the meat is soft and rotten, and the flavor is delicious.

A bowl of pearl rice, two taels of lean meat, a preserved egg, ginger juice, salt, light soy sauce, pepper, sesame oil, starch......

After preparing the ingredients, Bai Chang washed the pearl rice first, added water and sesame oil, and put it aside to soak.

At this time, he diced the preserved eggs and minced the chives and set them aside.

Then cut the lean pork into cubes, then add ginger juice, salt, a little starch, light soy sauce, stir well, and also set aside to marinate.

After all the preparations were made, Bai Chang dried his hands and entered the secret room again.

Guo lame reminded him in the morning that if he looked at the recipes handed down by his ancestors, he might have an unexpected harvest.

The next volume of the Bai family's recipe is stored in the secret room.

In the secret room, in a dark compartment at the top, Bai Chang carefully took out a yellowed ancient book, blew off the dust on the surface, and there were four ancient seal characters on the cover.

Yin and Yang Food Sutra.

Bai Chang's heart moved, the cover of this next volume is different from the previous volume, it seems that there is material.

Turning the first page, there is such a sentence written on it.

"Ghosts return, people become ghosts, people live on food, and so do ghosts."

This means that ghosts are changed by people, and people can only live if they have food, and the same is true of ghosts.

Bai Chang nodded, the next volume of this Bai family recipe is really different, because the upper volume introduces the methods of various dishes, even if it is seen by outsiders, it is just an ordinary recipe.

Looking further down, there is another sentence.

"The way of Tai Chi is the balance of yin and yang, the sky has four times and five elements, the earth has four directions and five places, people have four bodies and five senses, food has four qi and five flavors, heaven and earth have yin and yang, and people and food are the same."

It's easy to say, it's good to say, in these simple few words, it implies the yin and yang of heaven and earth, no wonder grandpa said that those who are not good enough can not watch.

After a brief flip through it, Bai Chang put away the book and returned to the kitchen, at this time the rice was almost soaked, the lean pork was also marinated, and the porridge began to boil.

First boil over high heat, then add diced lean pork, half of diced preserved eggs, pour in two parts of ghost powder, respectively, thin ghosts and hungry ghosts, and then turn to low heat and simmer, in this process, you need to stir with a spatula every few minutes to avoid preserved eggs sticking to the pan.

Bai Chang held a shovel in one hand and a book in the other, and read it intently.

The next volume of the Bai family's cookbook, roughly looks like a Taoist scripture, but if you look closely, it looks like a medical book, which not only contains all kinds of food dishes that he has never heard of, but also records a lot of ingredients that are mutually reinforcing.

For example, the sentence at the beginning of the recipe: The Tao of Tai Chi is precious to the balance of yin and yang, the sky has four times and five elements, the earth has four directions and five places, people have four bodies and five senses, food has four qi and five flavors, heaven and earth have yin and yang, and the same is true for people and food.

This means that everything in heaven and earth needs a balance of yin and yang, and people are the same, when people's yin and yang are unbalanced, they will get sick and have various conditions, and people take food as their life, as long as the cold, heat, and cold in the food, because of the sky, because of the earth, because of the time, because of the people, rational use, yin and yang coordination, is the way of health.

The more he looked at it, the more interesting it became, for example, the recipe also talked about the distinction between yin and yang in food.

The food with a lot of water is yin, and it is yang when it is dried, the captive pork is yin, the free-range mutton is yang, the soft-shelled turtle that does not move on its stomach is yin, the crucian carp that is alive and kicking is yang, the local chicken in the cage at home is yin, and the pheasant that can fly on the mountain is yang.

Therefore, using these ingredients with different yin and yang attributes, the dishes made with each other are wonderful and magical.

But Bai Chang only looked at it for more than half an hour, and then he felt dizzy and dizzy, and he couldn't watch it anymore.

The things in this volume of recipes are indeed too complicated, what is the combination of yin and yang, and there are many things about cultivation, the text is obscure, he read it for a long time, and probably remembered some things related to cooking.

It seems that this book is going to be gnawed slowly, and I can't be in a hurry.

recalled the second letter left by my grandfather, which said, "If you are a good son of the Bai family, use the peerless cooking skills of the Bai family to defeat them and take back what belongs to us." ”

Originally, Bai Chang didn't understand how to defeat them with cooking skills, but now, he understood a little bit.

Although the Bai family has peerless cooking skills, it did not rely on fighting and killing to have the status of the year.

The essence of Baijia cuisine lies in the full banquet of gods and ghosts.

The essence of the whole banquet of gods and ghosts lies in the word "benevolence".

If you think about the purpose of the eighteen dishes in the Divine Ghost Banquet, you will understand.

The sick with a serious disease in the world can remove the pain if they eat it.

The evil ghosts in the hell of the underworld will be tempered if they eat it, be exempted from bad karma, and re-enter reincarnation.

If a cultivator eats one of the dishes that can increase his cultivation, then he will be able to make great progress in his cultivation and his skills will increase greatly.

The last dish in the banquet of gods and ghosts, according to legend, is the creation of ghosts and gods, and the creation of yin and yang of heaven and earth.

Although Bai Chang still doesn't know what the purpose of this last dish is, there is no doubt that although the Bai family is regarded as an evil sect by the righteous way of the rivers and lakes, in fact, the purpose of the Bai family is to save people and ghosts.

Only a truly benevolent person can be invincible.

The most precious thing left by the ancestors of the Bai family is the word "benevolence".

Bai Chang sighed secretly and closed the book, and at this time, the pot began to emit bursts of aroma.

Preserved egg thin ghost porridge, it's almost ready.
