106: Inextricably linked and tenacious
(Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass!) )
……
The snow-capped mountain is Li Sui'an's retreat ground.
It's quiet, wide and free.
There are no other concerns, and there will be no trickery behind the scenes.
Since the last time he fished in the ice cave, Li Sui'an has liked the feeling of cultivating in the snowy mountains.
In fact, he is not particularly addicted to fishing, and he is not a veteran, crazy old fisherman.
But fishing was a sport he had enjoyed since his previous life.
Every time I am busy working for a long time, I will encounter a rare vacation, I will drive to the suburbs alone to find a beautiful water's edge. Quiet solitude and a whole day.
When the fishing hook is hung with fish, the moment of competition and being pulled ashore is indeed very fulfilling.
What's more, he still has [fishing] skills in this life, even if he wants to brush up his skill proficiency, he has to pick up the craft of fishing again.
That night, Lao He lived up to expectations.
Successfully caught a dragon carp weighing hundreds of pounds.
"Brother, you're blessed. I'm a man who doesn't cook much, so today I'll give you a taste of 12 ways to eat fish. ”
Lao He smiled: "Hehe, I'll wait and see." ”
"Just bother my brother to light the fire."
The stove is set up, just waiting for the chef to be in place.
Li Sui'an immediately ate this fish and made a Chinese-style whole fish feast.
An ancestral kitchen knife flies up and down, scales, skins, internal organs, slices of meat, and deboning in one go.
Hundreds of catties of high-quality demon beast fish, no physical strength, you let an ordinary person do it, it really takes a lot of effort.
Li Sui'an did it, but it was simpler and more efficient than others.
[Mental Control] can't help much in battle, but it is like a fish in water in life.
All kinds of delicate work is difficult to do in hand, but the mental power can be meticulous and easy to control.
The first course is the fish head.
After removing the teeth, marinating and flavoring, it is served with various left-side ingredients to make a casserole fish head pot.
Immediately scrape the fish meat, chop the fish paste, and the mind force is forced to complete the shape in the air, and the golden fish paste cake is fried.
Because I had considered in advance that I might stay for a long time when I went out this time, although he had the [Empty Escape, No Distance] magic skill, Li Sui'an couldn't run home every time, so he would naturally have all kinds of preparations. Of course, the things that eat must also be fully and complete.
It is also very simple to prepare for this, and it is enough to find He Dadang in the front building, and ask for a few kitchen preparations.
The third and fourth dishes are made with glutinous rice and fish to make a pearl fish paste ball. Then use pure fish balls to make a bowl of sea vegetable fish ball soup.
The dragon carp is full of treasures, and the skin of the fish is also a dish.
With some local raw melons, make a cold fish skin salad.
Fish scales can not be wasted, after frying, chives, salt, sugar, chili noodles, snow jade bamboo frost, made into fish scale chips.
The fishtail is made with two kinds of chili peppers to make a mandarin duck paddling.
Ginger and green onion fish belly, boiled fish fillet, sour fish offal, salt and pepper fish bones, spicy fish dice.
So twelve dishes, full of them.
[Cooking +150.] 】
The wine glasses were filled, the table was set up, and the tablecloth was spread.
Looking at the dazzling whole fish feast, such a delicate and exquisite way to eat in the wild really made Lao He grin.
He used to fish, and when he was hungry, he just had to eat a bite of the lake, and he had never been so particular about eating.
The same fish, in Li Sui'an's hands, changed its tricks to make a delicacy.
Compared to what I have eaten, how is it different from pig food?
Just rushed this dinner, and he identified Li Sui'an, the little brother.
Youzai travel, more than a month has passed in a blink of an eye.
This more than a month of life is really comfortable and fulfilling.
The [Fishing] skill has been upgraded to Lv5 (9800/10000).
"Increases your fishing experience and increases your chances of getting high-quality catches. At the current level, every fish you catch can steal 9% of its Qi and blood. ”
Fishing skills have also become the highest-level skills among all Li Sui'an's current life skills.
There are countless treasures in the waters of Guyin.
The fish here are completely unalert, and if you put bait into their mouths, they will bite down.
More greedy than a foodie deer.
Of course, Li Sui'an's fishing road was not all smooth sailing.
There is still a big difference between the demon beast fish and the spirit beast fish.
At least it's harder to catch than a silly pigfish.
Remember the day after the official fishing -
Li Sui'an chose a good position, and soon there were big fish biting one after another.
But when he tried to pull it ashore, it was unsurprisingly unhooked.
"Why is that?" He was a little confused.
"Brother, something is wrong."
Lao He Hao walked over and said, "Your martial arts talent is definitely much better than mine, and the future will definitely be more promising than mine." My Lao He is at best in this life, that is, a small god, and it is impossible to succeed in holding Dan until he dies. But that doesn't mean that my life is wasted. ”
"What are you fishing? Simply flick the hook down, the fish bites, and then pulls it up? ”
Li Sui'an was puzzled: "Isn't that so." ”
He used to go even further, using a boning knife as a hook, throwing the knife out, penetrating the pigfish's body, and pulling it up again.
The level of fishing lv3 is brushed out in this way.
Every pig fish, the experience is very sufficient.
Lao He said: "Don't think about fishing demon beast fish too simply, you are a means of catching ordinary fish." In this snow-capped mountain, Tianchi Lake, most of the people who live are monsters. If you want to fish for monster fish, you must have the idea of fighting monster beasts to be able to catch them. ”
Li Sui'an asked, "Then how do you do it?" ”
"I can't go into the water and fight with it."
Lao He laughed, his face was a little proud, this was probably one of the few things in his life that could make him proud.
He looked at Li Sui'an, his face seemed to be bright, and he said proudly and loudly: "I haven't achieved much in my life, but I think it's still very interesting to figure out this 'inextricable fishing method', so I'll teach it to you." ”
"Then thank you, brother."
Li Sui'an smiled and didn't pay much attention to it.
I thought it was just a set of ways to use energy.
This is indeed the case, and there is a significant barrier to entry.
If you don't enter the divine realm, you can't cultivate, because it involves spiritual power control.
Thousands of strands of fishing, pay attention to the precise control of their own strength, turn the energy into silk, condense the silk line as a net, condense a number of energy and a top, like a wire rope, so that this energy is both smart and very tough.
Let the thread of energy extend along the fishing line, and the fishing line, fishing rod, and fishing hook can be turned into your own weapons.
According to Lao He's idea, if you can condense ten threads of qi and one on top, and you can also weave silk into a net, it can be regarded as a beginner's exercise.
If you can condense ten strands of strength and one strand, and weave silk into a net, it is already a small success.
If you can condense the silk of ten strands of qi and one, manipulate it into subtleties, and weave it into a net, it is already a great achievement.
If one day, it can condense and compress thousands of shares, 10,000 shares, or even 100,000 shares, and hundreds of millions of shares of Qijin Silk together, and it can still be controlled freely......
No matter how sharp a divine weapon is, it can't cut off a fishing line.
However, to this day, even Lao He, the founder of this technique, can only condense and compress a hundred and ten strands of qi silk threads.
Li Sui'an groped his chin and pondered: "It is indeed very demanding, and this kind of delicate control technique is very helpful for the cultivation of qi and spirit. ”
He came interested.
Try it now.
He tried to follow the method taught by Lao He, extracted a trace of energy, and wanted to control it finely...... The thread broke all at once.
It doesn't seem to be so easy to do.
After a lot of effort, I finally succeeded in extracting a filament of qi.
Subsequently, it is to condense more strands of qi into one, and it is not so easy to achieve.
Li Sui'an thought of the wire rope again, the wire rope is first twisted into strands by multiple layers of steel wires, and then with the rope core as the center, a certain number of strands are twisted into a spiral rope.
First there is a rope core.
found the right direction, and Li Sui'an's operation was much smoother.
After trying, he finally controlled this silk of qi with not weak mental power to shuttle freely in the air and weave it into a net.
The moment the net is woven.
A lot of unusual feelings suddenly welled up in my heart.
This feeling of sudden well-up of perception was all too familiar to him, and he immediately opened the virtual panel.
I thought it was just a very ordinary set of strength control skills.
But on the martial arts panel, it clearly shows that he has learned a new martial art, "Thousands of Strands of Fishing".
That's when it dawned on me.
This set of techniques has a complete basic training method, and also has a broad and far-sighted advanced thinking.
If you can fight underwater monsters with a fishing rod, why can't you fight people with a fishing rod?
Isn't this just a martial art?
[Inextricable Fishing Method: Lv1 beginner practice (100/10000), which can increase the essence of qi and spiritual training by 10%, and increase the control of qi by 10%. 】
Nice martial arts.
…… How to say it.
You need to enter the divine realm before you can learn, but after learning, you only strengthen the control of qi.
Generally under normal circumstances, since a martial artist has already entered the divine realm, the natural dantian qi is spiritually free, and even turns the acquired into innate. The battle is to rely on the majestic pre-temporal strength to end the battle. He even communicates the source qi of heaven and earth with qi to form a gang qi to fight.
This kind of martial art that is more real in the subtleties is estimated to not be favored by too many people.
But who called Li Sui'an just an alternative.
However, he also likes fishing, so he naturally likes this martial art.
But he thought badly.
"Thousands of Threads of Fishing" is more important than you think.
The help to the martial arts is not mentioned for the time being.
As long as Li Sui'an wants to fish for demon beasts and wants to eat the skill special effect bonus brought by the [Fishing] skill, he must practice the level of "Thousands of Strands of Fishing".
So in the next few days, Li Sui'an was completely competitive with this martial art.
But don't think he's burying his head in penance.
Li Sui'an's days of "retreat" in the snow-capped mountains were more fulfilling than imagined.
Every evening, with the excuse of taking a turn in the vicinity, he returned directly to the Black Stone Set to buy the monster bones and monster blood that had been piled up for a day.
Throw it into the fountain and turn it into the soil.
By the way, I care about farmland and spiritual rice, and be a farmer.
After nightfall, simply go back to your home on Liufeng Street and soak your feet.
Chat with Uncle Fu, check Xiaolu's homework, and introduce Xiao Xiaoci to everyone.
Encourage Xiao Xiaoci to step out of the past and integrate into a new life. Even if he shows up, he will wear makeup at most. She had been wearing a veil all year round before, and she appeared as a bun Shih Tzu. Now it is the real appearance, and there are still some differences from Baozi Shih, just go out so openly, others may not be able to find the clues.
If you put on makeup, you can add another layer of insurance.
Late at night, Li Sui'an returned to the lakeside hut and meditated in the dark.
During the day, he practiced and practiced while basking in the sun.
Occasionally, he walked around and went into the glacier to practice his spells.
At the same time, ponder the fishing technique and martial arts.
It wasn't until three days later that he successfully condensed ten strands of energy and one strand, and "Thousands of Strands of Fishing" successfully upgraded to lv2.
[Inextricable Fishing Method: Lv2 Half-baked (100/10000), which can increase the essence of Qi and spiritual training by 30%, and increase the control of Qi by 30%. 】
In a time, the efficiency has increased greatly.
And you can finally fish for monster fish.
On the day of the skill upgrade, Li Sui'an successfully fished a three-tailed red carp.
Even though this is only a nine-rank demon beast fish, the increased experience is only 15 points, which is completely incomparable to the pigfish.
He was still so excited that he almost jumped up.
Under the control of Qi Qi, the fishing line turned into a swimming dragon in the water, and deftly entangled with the three-tailed red carp to fight.
Even with the use of a knife, he finally succeeded in catching it.
In this process, he not only exercised his [fishing] skills, but also practiced the "Thousands of Threads of Fishing" and knife techniques, and the process was really not easy.
It is precisely in this way that the moment of harvest can have a full sense of achievement.
In contrast, there is really no experience in fishing for pigfish.
Moreover, when he successfully caught the first demon beast fish, the huge qi and blood that suddenly surged in really almost made him not live in Bengbu.
Sure enough, I still have to fish for monster fish.
Although the pigfish is a spirit animal, it is just that small in size, and how much qi and blood it can have.
With practical experience, after that, it has been advancing by leaps and bounds, and the inextricable fishing method has successfully condensed two strands of energy, three strands, and four strands...... Until ten strands.
The inextricable fishing method has also been upgraded again.
[Inextricable Fishing Method: Lv3 is slightly smaller (100/10000), which can increase the essence of Qi and spiritual training by 50%, and increase the control of Qi by 50%. 】
He began to catch the eight-rank demon beast fish.
As more and more demon beast fish were caught, the power of qi and blood in Li Sui'an's body began to gather more and more, and his qi and blood were like wolf smoke, and his body became more and more powerful.
The qi and blood are too abundant, the vitality is vigorous, and even with "Dragon Elephant Gang Qi Shield", it has made a lot of progress.
There was also an interlude.
That is the blood bud rice in the spiritual field is ripe.
The blood bud rice plant grows up like corn.
Each blood bud rice plant can grow to a height of seven or eight meters, like a small tree.
On each plant, there are at least seventy or eighty grains of rice.
After ripening, the blood bud rice, each grain is three inches and three centimeters long, shaped like a spinning shuttle, crystal clear, like the best red jadeite.
Compared to the blood bud rice that he got from Cheng Lin's hand last time, the smart red blood color is more sufficient.
There are hundreds of blood bud rice, and Li Sui'an picked more than 8,000 grains of rice.
After being picked, the blood bud rice plant will quickly rot and will not regenerate.
Li Sui'an shoveled all of them, threw them into the spring water, and turned them back into fertilizer to nourish the spiritual field.
Then, with the accumulation of this time, seven acres of spiritual fields were expanded again, and all of them were planted with blood bud rice.
When I planted it for the first time, I didn't have much experience.
Who would have thought it would grow so big when it matured?
It's still a little crowded, and many branches are squeezed together, which invisibly leads to a decrease in production.
One acre of land is about 660 square meters, and the roots of the blood bud rice plant need sufficient space to grow, generally according to the distance of 3~3 square meters can be planted blood bud rice, one acre of land can be planted 70~75 blood bud rice.
If blood bud rice is planted at an interval of 3~4 square meters, then 50~55 plants can be planted per mu, and 80~85 plants can be planted at an interval of 2~4 square meters.
This time, only 50 plants were planted per acre.
In addition to the two acres of land in the bamboo forest, the remaining seven acres of land plus the one acre of land that has been re-cleaned and sorted out is eight acres of land with 400 plants.
This is quite a challenge, and it means that it takes more experience to take care of the plants on a regular basis and manually pollinate them during flowering. But once it's harvested, it's going to be a very exciting outcome.
It is not far from eating blood bud rice for three meals a day.
On the evening of the harvest.
Li Sui'an took the time to return home and invited Uncle Fu to eat a bowl of blood bud rice.
After he finished eating, his complexion improved significantly.
"Young master, this rice is too precious, you better keep it for your own cultivation and eat. It's too wasteful to feed me. ”
Li Sui'an smiled: "I still have it there." If everything goes well, there may be more blood bud rice in the future, and I am not afraid to eat it every day. Uncle Fu, you don't have to worry about me. ”
"I see. Master, there's something I want to discuss with you? ”
Li Sui'an wondered, "What's the matter?" ”
Fu Qingnian said: "Young master, I'm old, and I don't think I have a few years to live." Xiao is quick to think and knowledgeable, although he was born poor, he is a motivated person. Since the young master has integrated her into the house, I wondered, can I let her enter the restaurant and learn how to be a bookkeeper with the old man? ”
Shaw?
Li Sui'an realized that he was talking about the widow Xiao.
"The matter...... Is she willing to learn? ”
"Lao Yu talked to her that she was willing to learn and wanted to find something to do, but she was worried that she would still be recognized after applying makeup."
Li Sui'an thought for a while and said: "This matter is not in a hurry for the time being, after a while, we will go to the northern capital to open a branch." Kunpeng City, don't let her come forward for the time being. Uncle Fu, you can teach her privately how to control a restaurant. ”
"Ah......h
Fu Qingnian's mouth opened wide.
Li Sui'an didn't explain much.
Leave some blood bud rice for Narcissus to cook every day and give it to Uncle Fu to eat.
Now there is not enough blood bud rice, and it can't be eaten by everyone. Even if the fawn drooled greedily, she didn't let her taste it.
……
Time flies.
Unconsciously, Li Sui'an and Lao He have been on the edge of the snow-capped mountain Tianchi for more than a month.
Originally, Lao He, who only wanted to fish for ten days and a half months, had no intention of leaving this time.
Until Li Sui'an proposed to leave, he was still unsatisfied.
Li Sui'an packed up the things in the cabin, said goodbye to Lao He, opened a void portal that night, and returned home in one step.
Many of the monster fish caught were also sent to the back kitchen of Ruyi Fang.
He came back this time because the first batch of drunken spring tribute liquor in the brewery was about to enter the fermentation stage.
This level is the most important thing, and we can't be idle as before.
He has to follow up every step of the way to make sure that every step of the way is in place and foolproof.
The fermentation of the drunken spring breeze adopts the fermentation method of "running cellar cycle", "continuous fermentation of continuous dregs", and "rapid aging of artificial cellar mud".
The process is more complex.
However, although the processing is complicated, we must not dare to save labor, and although the taste is expensive, we must not dare to reduce material resources.
In a world without technology and ruthlessness, winemakers can only rely on the inheritance from generation to generation to have good wine on people's tables.
……
On this day, the pacification envoy suddenly summoned him.
"How long does it take for the first drunken spring breeze to come?"
"Back to my lord, the brewing cycle of the drunken spring breeze also takes at least half a year to ensure the quality."
This cycle is very long.
However, if the fermentation period is too long, the cost of sake brewing will increase even if the quality of the sake is good.
Moreover, even freshly roasted liquor contains low-boiling impurities such as aldehydes and sulfides, which inevitably have the disadvantages of being spicy, nasal flushing, and irritating.
It needs to be stored for at least half a year before the finished product can be blended for filling.
Through aging and storage, the physical and chemical reactions such as redox and lipidation of the liquor itself effectively exclude the low boiling point impurities of the liquor, so that the acetaldehyde condensation, the pungency is reduced, and the spicy taste becomes soft and soft, which increases the aroma.
As the aging time is extended, the natural fusion of water molecules and wine molecules is also enhanced.
This is what people say "wine is the fragrance of aging".
The longer it ages, the better, but few people know why?
In addition to the reasons mentioned above, there are also some reasons for the brewing process.
"Can you shorten the time?" Yuan Chunfang asked.
Li Sui'an was stunned.
"My lord, Zuichun Feng is a sauce-flavored liquor, and the brewing process is already complicated, and the brewing process needs to be completed at least nine times of cooking, eight times of fermentation, seven times of wine extraction, and two times of feeding. The brewing cycle is compressed to half a year, which is actually very fast. ”
If you want to make such a good wine in a previous life, the time is measured in years.
In this world, the source of heaven and earth is rich, the laws of fermentation have been changed, and the brewing time has actually been compressed a lot.
Yuan Chunfang frowned, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you continue to brew according to the recipe." However, you need to take out your family's inventory and pay some tribute first. ”
Li Sui'an thought for a while and asked, "My lord, I don't know how much it will take to pay tribute this time?" ”
"At least five thousand barrels, can it be satisfied?"
"My lord, those are all old ......"
Yuan Chunfang waved his hand and said: "This time it is a government procurement, and it will not let you suffer." ”
Li Sui'an had nothing to say, "In this case, the subordinates will prepare immediately after they go back." ”
"Hmm. Prepare as early as possible. ”
The demand was so urgent, Li Sui'an could only use the original pulp.
