Chapter 206: Eight-sided Tablet
After determining the task, Li Yi was worried.
If you want to do a [beauty banquet] and please Yifei, it's nothing.
But what the hell is that sentence that makes him fall in love?
Shuanglin didn't complete this task himself!
According to Shuanglin's memory fragments, he made a [Beauty Banquet], and after sending it in, the woman who was similar to Liu Yifei didn't eat at all, and ran out directly, wanting to escape, but was stopped by the guards.
She knew Qianlong's identity, but she resolutely refused to comply, and even reprimanded Qianlong, scolding Qianlong so much that he was bleeding.
Because she used some rebellious words, Qianlong was furious and directly ordered her to be killed.
And Li Yi, who was waiting outside the door, that is, Shuanglin, because he witnessed all this, was also angry by Qianlong and ordered to be beheaded.
This result also made it difficult for Li Yi.
In the past, all the tasks were completed by those possessed by him.
Wang Kui's tofu banquet, Empress Xiaoxianchun ate very satisfied.
Chen De's imitation banquet also successfully conquered Heshen and became the head of the dining room in Heshen's mansion.
And Han Song's Wei meal did alleviate Concubine Rong's homesickness.
But this time, Shuanglin didn't complete the task himself, and his head was cut off.
If you are Li Yi herself, how should you complete it?
This mission is much trickier than ever!
Li Yi sighed and stood up.
Looking at the wooden monument in front of him and the fog wall behind him, he adjusted his mood.
Although the task is a little more difficult, his gains this time are not small.
This was the longest time he had ever been in the dream space, and not only had he fully mastered the art of Shuanglin [Beauty Banquet], but he had also successfully penetrated the interior of the enamel.
Relying on the information he had accumulated before, he successfully got acquainted with Wang Shixiong, the master of the Yangzhou School of enamel making, and learned a lot of craftsmanship skills for making cloisonné.
After practicing in the dream space, his skills are comparable to that of an enameller of the second class.
Moreover, with the blessing of Shuanglin's delicate techniques cultivated in the perennial production of [Beauty Banquet], his skills in the steps of painting, tire making, filigree, and blue dotting are even comparable to those of first-class enamel craftsmen.
If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't mastered the process of burning blue for the time being, he would have been able to learn by now.
In addition to the craftsmanship of [Beauty Banquet] and half a set of cloisonné, Li Yi also brought a special item out.
It was a set of hooks of different sizes and materials.
Shuanglin's [Beauty Banquet] is mainly ingredient with a variety of river fresh, such as all kinds of fish, shrimp and crabs.
He had a rule that the fish used to make the beauty feast must be alive and without external injuries.
Therefore, when he was developing dishes related to the [Beauty Banquet], he traveled to various provinces and provinces, and traveled all over the rivers, lakes and seas in the south of the Yangtze River to search for suitable river freshness.
For this reason, he also practiced a delicate fishing technique, known as the drop rod is invincible.
He has never said that his cooking skills are unique in the world, but he has repeatedly claimed to be the best in the world.
But there is a reason for his self-confidence, and when it comes to fishing, he does have a lot of research.
If nothing else, let's just say that this set of various fish hooks that he has spent more than ten years of hard work and collected from all over the country is enough to prove his mind.
Raising his right hand, Li Yi took out a black box.
The box is only the size of a palm, but it is not lightweight, and the texture is so hard that it even makes a stone-like sound when struck.
It is a box made of ebony, also known as gloomy wood.
Fresh wood in general, more or less with some flavor.
People may not be able to smell it, but fish can.
Only this gloomy wood, which is shaded under the riverbed, will dissipate the smell of the wood itself, so as not to stain the smell on the hooks in the box.
Lifting the lid of the box, Li Yi looked at the fish hooks of different sizes inside, pinned to the moist cotton ball inside.
These hooks are made of different materials, including gold and silver, wood and bamboo, bone and beak, stone and jade.
Among them, there are old hooks that have been used for hundreds of years, and there are also new hooks that have been specially made by craftsmen.
However, even if it is a new hook, it has been raised by Shuanglin for at least ten years.
The so-called raising hook is to soak the fish hook with something fragrant and fishy, so that the fish hook can absorb the smell and make it easier to attract the fish to the hook.
Shuanglin likes to use spirits to raise hooks, and occasionally uses eel blood.
He believes that the longer the hook is raised, the better it will work, and the more precise and faster the fishing will be.
In fact, it is true, fishing with these hooks that he has raised thoroughly, he is like a tiger with wings, and almost never empty a rod.
Closing the lid, Li Yi put away the fishhook and looked at the fog wall behind the wooden monument.
With this set of fishhooks, this time, he should be able to penetrate this wall of fog, right?
As soon as he thought of it, Li Yi took the bowls, knives, stone grinders and other things that were placed aside, and walked towards the fog wall again.
Just like last time, he didn't feel any resistance, and went straight into the fog wall.
Step by step, he walked to the depths of the fog wall, and the eight-sided monument behind him became clearer and clearer, and soon, he came to the position where he stopped last time.
The resistance is still the same, but it is much smaller.
Without stopping, he stepped forward and rushed forward with his head down.
Kiss~!
It was as if an invisible voice sounded.
Li Yi rushed headlong into a space that was the same as the wooden tablet space.
Almost exactly the same size of space, exactly the same fog wall.
The only thing that is different is the eight-sided monument in the center.
Putting the thing on the ground, Li Yi observed around the eight-sided tablet and secretly marveled.
As he had previously observed, the eight sides of the eight-sided monument were all made of different materials.
He observed that the materials of these eight sides were stone, green brick, iron sheet, wooden board, bamboo piece, leather, cloth, and paper.
These eight completely different materials are strangely fused together, without any gaps between them, as if they are natural creations.
Looking at its integrated material, Li Yi felt like he was looking at various glazed bottles, but the perception was even more magical.
Does this eight-sided stele have the same effect as a wooden stele?
Li Yi observed around the eight-sided monument again, and touched it with his hands.
This time he made something new.
The materials of these eight faces are different, but they all have one common feature - breakage.
The side of the stone is full of cracks, and when you touch it with your hand, debris falls.
On the iron side, the rust is stained and the rust is very deep, forming several layers of rust.
In addition, the surface of the stele of other materials is also full of traces of insects eating rats and blisters.
How is this still a battle-damaged version of the monument?
Looking at the eight tablets of different materials, Li Yi fell into thought.
Stones, bricks, wooden boards, bamboo strips, these eight-sided monuments represent the skills of the traditional eight masters, right?
The Eight Great Craftsmen are the eight kinds of livelihood of the people in the past, and they are the best eight means of livelihood for the children of poor families in addition to studying, becoming officials, studying medicine, and being a langzhong.
These eight industries also represent the most traditional and indispensable craftsman skills of the people.
Even in the Ministry of Industry and the Office of the Imperial Court, the craftsmen of these eight crafts are the largest in number and are the mainstay of craftsmen.
These eight types of craftsmen are the most common, not as rare as the Eight Masters Craftsmen, but the fineness of these eight crafts is no worse than that of the Eight Masters Craftsmen.
Even the eight craftsmen select their disciples, and they also select those loyal people with solid basic skills from these eight kinds of craftsmen.
Li Yi guessed that this eight-sided tablet should also be like a wooden tablet, activated with blood, and you can learn skills.
But he had just come out of the dream space, and now he was going to go in again?
Li Yi hesitated.
