Chapter 20: Hands in the Sky

Lei Ren came out with a move of "facing the sky", and walked out with three rice bowls full of rice soup in one hand, which amazed the audience at that time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Any one of the three bowls can only be fully grasped in the hands of ordinary people, and it is impossible to take five steps out of two of them, but in his thunderous hands, he is as stable as Mount Tai, and he is even more stable when he walks.

No matter how his body swayed, these three bowls were like glue glued to the palm of his hand, and the spiky rice soup would never be spilled.

I can see at a glance that he will never be able to practice his unique skill of "three lanes in the sky" without five years of experience in serving dishes to others.

From this point, I can even infer that this Lei Ren has definitely worked for others before and endured hardships.

He relied on his own efforts to climb to the position of the abbot of Wuling Temple step by step, and he didn't know why, but later he became so cunning and cunning.

After Lei Ren showed his unique skills, he walked on the spiritual platform very proudly, and he waved the three bowls of spiky "rice soup" with one hand! Neatly placed on the incense table full of tributes.

Suddenly, the large, two small and three bowls of rice soup were stacked neatly. In terms of appearance, it looks like a mountain.

The "Three Mountains Bucket" was thus formed.

I looked up at the food that was said to attract unjust souls, and I was a little crying and laughing.

That...... In fact, it's just three bowls of ordinary "glutinous rice and eight treasure rice", right?!

"These three mountain buckets are actually ...... Eight treasure rice? I looked at the three bowls of rice soup and asked in amazement.

Eight treasure rice, is a cook will make things, this thing has different methods in every cuisine across the country, but it is actually the same, nothing more than glutinous rice, auxiliary ingredients to longan, lotus seeds, dates, barley, hawthorn and even yellow rice and seasonal preserved fruits and other steamed.

This dish, the meal is one, sweet and sour, it can be used as a dessert, it can also be used as a meal, and many places also have the custom of using it in Qingming Laba, the god meal sacrifice.

However, this is always just a bowl of eight-treasure rice. I've never heard of this thing attracting souls!

In the face of my questioning, Lei Ren was obviously unconvinced, he shook his head arrogantly, and criticized me: "You are a young boy!" When you open your mouth, you say that it is eight treasure rice, I think you know how ...... Since you know so much, can you tell me the origin of my eight-treasure rice? ”

I shook my head, naturally I didn't know. If only this meal could be cooked, who cares so much?

Now, Lei Ren finally found an opportunity to fight back against me, he first counted me down for not "respecting the teacher", and then even said in broad daylight that Babao Rice is the "Three Mountains Fight" that can summon souls, and it is a "famous dish" and "yin food" with a great history.

Lei Ren even said that this tradition of using eight treasure rice to worship and summon spirits has existed since ancient times, and it is inseparable from its long history and related special meanings. And behind the eight treasure rice...... There is also a bloody story.

…… He told us that the history of the "Eight Treasure Rice" is very ancient, and when there was this dish, the four major cuisines were still in the womb, and even Chinese cooking was just beginning.

And its appearance is closely related to a very important military event in Chinese history, "King Wu's War".

It is rumored that after the success of King Wu's war, he feasted his ministers. Before the banquet, the eight meritorious ministers of the humerus unanimously demanded that the corpse of the king should be divided and eaten in accordance with the ancient rite of "the Yellow Emperor's crusade against Chiyou", and the bones should be handed over to various places to calm the hearts of the people.

This suggestion was resolutely opposed by the "emperor" Jiang Ziya.

Jiang Ziya said, my Great Zhou is to govern the country with etiquette, and I should be gentle with the princes and recuperate. This national policy should be fundamentally different from the prevalence of witchcraft and the chaos of the country with the law, and the use of torture and whipping corpses to eat meat is the act of those who violate benevolence.

King Wu of Zhou understood in his heart, but the suggestions of the eight heroes could not be turned a deaf ear, so after thinking about it, he quickly came up with a compromise solution.

King Wu ordered that the kitchen should be based on glutinous rice, add the eight ministers' favorite foods such as "longan, barley, lotus seeds, preserved fruits and other accessories, and use red hawthorn to represent the meat of the king on the terrace ****, and make a meal of "eight treasures and eight points", which was distributed to the ministers.

The eight humerus ministers were very happy after eating the Eight Treasures Meal, because each of them could find their favorite ingredients in the meal.

Because of this, the eight meritorious deeds were all comprehended, thinking that King Wu of Zhou remembered his achievements in destroying the Shang Dynasty in his heart, so he was satisfied for a while and was more loyal to the Zhou family.

Later, eight ministers were divided into various places and became princes. These princes would offer the Eight Treasure Rice made by King Wu when they sacrificed to the temple, because the temple believed that this meal symbolized the merits of the Yin spirit in the past, and it was a gift from the king, which could more easily summon the souls of the ancestors back to eat.

Since then, the Eight Treasure Rice has become one of the dishes for celebration and sacrifice, and many places use it to summon the spirits of the ancestors during the Laba Festival.

The story is bizarre, but the meals are ordinary. What matters is people's hearts.

…… Although I said that, it was such a very ordinary meal, but it was blown by Lei Ren, and I suddenly felt a little deceived in my heart.

If I knew that I could use this thing to "calculate the death hexagram", I would have done it myself, so why bother begging him Lei Ren.

Faced with the suspicion on my face, Lei Ren didn't think so, and he continued to boast: "...... Besides, my eight-treasure rice of Sanshan Dou is very different from ordinary ones! ”

What he said made me a little curious, and I hurried to see what difference his meal was from what I usually cooked.

Moreover, I don't believe from the bottom of my heart, a bowl of broken rice, adding or subtracting a few condiments can summon the soul of the dead? The whole mysterious and shaky thing is called "five-son mountain".

And there are mountains, but what about the five sons?

With this question in mind, I looked into the bowl and stared at it with wide eyes for a long time...... Still don't see anything.

"What the hell was added! Don't tell me it's the bottom of the pot. I said impatiently.

The three bowls of eight-treasure rice were no different from those in my memory, except for some gray-black things like the bottom of the pot on them, there was nothing more.

Those ashes are probably just accidentally rubbed by him when Lei Ren came out of the pot.

But at this time, Lei Ren nodded unexpectedly and said, "It's those ashes!" It's just that the ashes are not the ashes at the bottom of the pot...... It's Jin Zhuyi's meat powder.

When the cooks present heard the words "Jin Zhuyi", they were all stunned, and then their eyes widened, and their chins opened wide one by one, as if they saw a panda.

Momiji didn't understand our surprised expression, and she tugged at me and said, "What is a Jin Zhuyi?" ”

I whispered to her, "Zhuyi is 'pufferfish', and Jin Zhuyi is a species of pufferfish, and it is said that it can be psychic, but ...... That thing was extinct as early as the end of the Qing Dynasty! ”

Momiji was stunned and said, "Extinct?!" ”

I nodded and said, "Since the Republic of China, there have been no reports of this thing reappearing, the last one...... I remember that it was discovered in the first year of Xuantong from Wujue Creek in Guangxi. Sold for three thousand oceans! ”

After saying these words, Lei Ren nodded at me more and more proudly: "The offspring has insight!" The reason why Wuzi can no longer be used to move mountains is because the main ingredient used to hook souls and channel, 'Jin Zhuyi', has become extinct. It's mine...... It's still the dried fish that my father got from a Gui warlord when he was a soldier. ”

When I said this, I admired this Lei Ren more and more, he really came prepared! And in order to get close to Zhao's set, it seems that he has really made a lot of money, and he is willing to use even non-renewable "extinction" ingredients, just to take a look at the kitchen knife?

Regarding the current situation, I suddenly realized that either Lei Ren really wanted to make up for the relationship with the Zhao family, or the charm of the Zhao family's kitchen knife was too great.

But just as I continued to think nonsense, Lei Ren suddenly coughed and gasped, reminding us: "Everyone, pay attention! The five sons move mountains and ask for soul magic! It's about to begin! ”
