Chapter 184: Zongzi for the Dragon Boat Festival
After the test was successful, Tian Xu returned to the hillside and talked to Ziyan about the difference between the talisman he refined and the refining of Qu Wenfang, Ziyan said: "After use, the jade talisman can be recycled and reused, isn't that a formation weapon?"
It's just that there is still a difference between this thing and the array weapon now. Although this jade talisman can be recovered, after the formation in it is released once, all the energy stored in it will be consumed, and the formation will no longer exist. It is equivalent to saying that the formation in it is still a one-off. If you want to make a reusable array, you need to make some modifications.
At present, Tian Xu compresses the aura as an energy source according to different formats, and records the information of the formation in these formats. When used, once these auras are released, the formations carved out with auras will disappear with them. This form simply cannot be recycled.
If you want to transform this talisman into a reusable array, you need to change the way the information is recorded, so that after the aura is released, the formation still exists on the array. In addition, after the energy stored in the formation is consumed, it should be able to be replenished, and this replenishment should be automatic, or cultivators who don't understand the formation at all can also recharge it. Otherwise, once the energy is exhausted, the array will be scrapped, which will not meet his requirements.
It seems that he still has a long way to go in the task of making array weapons.
Tian Xu's research, unconsciously several days have passed, just now Ziyan's words about the array weapon gave him a new idea, and he immediately lowered his head and pondered.
Seeing that Tian Xu was about to start in a daze again, Ziyan stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, and said, "Hey, master, you've been tinkering here for several days, it's time to eat." ”
After Ziyan said this, Tian Xu remembered that Ziyan's stomach would be hungry, and he came back to his senses and said, "I forgot about eating again." Let's go find something delicious. ”
Now that Yaowang Douzhong is at the turn of spring and summer, Tian Xu took Ziyan to get some Lingnuo rice that Yaowangdou helped him harvest, and took Lingjube and red beans, and said: "The season here is probably around the Dragon Boat Festival, let's make zongzi." ”
Ziyan has lived in Kunlun Mountain since he was a child, and he has never had the habit of having the Dragon Boat Festival, although he has also eaten zongzi when he walked in the secular world, but he has not been too impressed by this secular food. In our Kunlun, there has never been the habit of these secular festivals. ”
Tian Xu smiled: "This is very easy, I will teach you in a while, and I guarantee that you will learn it as soon as you learn it." ”
The grain harvested in the Medicine King Bucket was very clean and did not need to be washed, and Tian Xu did not need to do much preparation. Tian Xu took Ziyan to the reeds by the lake to pick zongzi leaves, taught her to select wide and complete reed leaves, and collected them from the roots, "Be careful not to break them." He instructed Ziyan.
Leaving Ziyan to pick reed leaves here alone, Tian Xu returned to the hillside, put the red beans into the pot, and boiled them with water. But he himself went to the bamboo forest and picked some wide bamboo leaves, as well as some bamboo tubes of suitable thickness.
Tian Xu's hands and feet were very fast, and he returned to the hillside and waited for a while before Ziyan came back with the reed leaves he had picked. Seeing Tian Xu, Ziyan asked a question that she had been thinking about for a long time: "When I was walking in the world, the zongzi I ate were filled with meat, but I have never seen a zongzi made of red dates and beans like yours." ”
Tian Xu said with a smile: "In the secular world, with the Qinling Mountains and the Huai River as the boundary, it is divided into the south and the north, and there is a big difference in the living habits between the north and the south, and the taste of eating is even more different. Southerners love sweets and eat sugar all night long, while the whole night brain in the north is salty, and both sides say that the other's taste is unpalatable, interesting, right?"
Ziyan couldn't help but smile lightly when she heard this, and said: "We are in Kunlun Mountain, and we don't don't ask about the world, we know a little bit about these things." By the way, you haven't said anything about zongzi stuffing. ”
Tian Xu said with a smile: "The ridiculous thing is that in the two festival foods of zongzi and moon cakes, the habits of the north and the south just turn upside down. Northerners must eat sweet and vegetarian, while southerners say that if it is not meat filling and salty, it is not considered mooncake or zongzi. When my family was in the secular world, they were northerners through and through, so when it comes to zongzi, the most common ones with red dates and bean paste filling immediately come to mind. Since you've eaten minced meat, we'll wrap some later. ”
Ziyan smiled: "Okay, you teach me, let's pack it together." ”
There is basically no dust in the Yaowang bucket, and there is no animal pollution, and the picked dumpling leaves are very clean and can be used directly. Tian Xu put the reed leaves picked by Ziyan and the bamboo leaves he picked in a large pot, added water and boiled them. While cooking, he said to Ziyan: "The leaves have nothing to do with raw and cooked, but the toughness of the leaves that have been boiled once is better, and it is not easy to break when packed, so it is more convenient to use." ”
Ziyan watched Tian Xu cook red beans and zongzi leaves with Danhuo, and skillfully changed the zongzi leaves to cold water and soaked them, and then mashed the boiled red beans with aura, then filtered out the bean skin, mixed with jade honey, and made bean paste filling.
She asked curiously, "Seeing that you are very proficient in cooking, as if you can do anything, did you study for a long time when you were in the secular world? We have been cultivating since we were in the cultivation world, and we have almost never spent time learning these worldly things, and everyone is ashamed of doing these things." ”
Tian Xu said: "People in the secular world have to eat every day, of course, they have to learn to cook. However, the situation in my family is different from that of ordinary people in the secular world. You know, my dad was amazing, he was very busy every day and barely had time to cook. But apart from work, his favorite thing is to make good food, and I grew up eating all kinds of food he made, and I was full of feelings for these foods, and I learned a lot of food recipes before I knew it. ”
"But you spend so much time cooking, won't you waste the time for cultivation? There is a saying in the cultivation world that cultivation is a struggle with the heavens, and only by cultivating hard and reaching a higher realm before the end of life can you prolong your life. Twenty-four hours a day is not enough to devote to cultivation, so everyone refuses to spend their time on these worldly things. ”
Tian Xu shook his head and said: "One piece of the way of civil and martial arts, tighten a string every day, the effect is not necessarily good." After cultivating for a while, make yourself a delicious meal, take a break, just relax your spirit, and your cultivation may be better. Look at my parents and Aunt Xu, how long have they spent cultivating in their lives? Haven't they all easily reached the peak of Ning Dan and embarked on the path of Crossing Tribulations and Ascending?"
