Chapter 2: The Evicted Foodie
Tang Chen was full of curiosity about this world.
The Spirit Valley Spirit Fruit Spirit Beasts were all something Tang Chen had never tasted. Later, he flipped through the sect classics room to a book of "Duo Yi Lu", which recorded a variety of food information, all kinds of ingredients that had never been seen before, and the delicate description of the taste of food in the book, which made him salivate and his eyes opened. So the foodie quickly established a new goal in life: to eat all the delicacies recorded in "Duo Yi Lu"!
Having such a disciple is tantamount to a disaster for the Thousand Fu Sect.
Thinking that he was young and ignorant, and his cultivation talent was acceptable, the elders of the sect began to save the lost teenager in various ways with the attitude of curing the disease and saving people. or bitter words, or horizontal eyebrows and angry reprimands, or grounded and confined, and finally the master who fell into despair used force, with a rough palm covered with calluses, brutally beating the young man's pink little buttocks, but the young man still did not change his original intention, resolutely refused to turn back, and swore to defend the "uselessness of cultivation". What's more, the true nature of this guy is gradually revealed, he is idle all day long, and often makes delicious food to lure his classmates, instigates everyone to keep up with him, and even plans to hold a culinary exchange conference......
Seeing that the door wind was about to collapse, in order to avoid the appearance of more foodies, the elders of the sect had to make up their minds.
It is a complete failure to treat the sick and save people, but it can also punish the former and the latter, and the teacher requires the deviant problem teenager to go out to travel. In fact, everyone understands that the so-called traveling is actually expelled from the sect in disguise, and the sect did not say anything to death, it was completely to take care of Master Tang Chen's face. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the master had been excusing him, the troubled boy would have been swept out of the house.
When leaving, the master watched silently inside the mountain gate.
The master was heartbroken by the sudden sinking of the boy.
The master couldn't accept that the well-behaved and obedient disciple since he was a child, his temperament changed suddenly after a serious illness, as if he had changed people. The boy used to be unassertive and never disobedient to himself, but now he is terribly stubborn. Where did all those strange theories and unheard of cooking knowledge come from?
Tang Chen was speechless, the master was good to him, but he also had a last resort.
For a foodie who aspires to eat all the delicacies on "Duo Yi Lu", giving up the world's delicacies due to cultivation is purely a cruel and inhumane masochistic behavior, which Tang Chen can't accept at all. Instead of forcing yourself to suffer for the rest of your life, it is better to make decisions early and not delay each other.
The Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other.
After leaving the master's door, this guy carried the tableware on his back and began a gluttonous journey in all directions.
That year, the boy was twelve years old.
"It's been three years since I came to this world, and the years are really a pig-killing ......knife," Tang Chen sighed.
After eating some dry food, his body regained some strength slightly, and regardless of the soreness all over his body, Tang Chen forced himself to get up. He wanted to find his way out before the sun went down.
At the foot of the cliff, Tang Chen found a pool of clear water.
The water is clear and sweet. After Tang Chen drank his heart, he washed his whole body cleanly, and treated the wound by the waterhole to ensure that the smell of blood would not attract wild beasts before continuing on the road.
It was getting dark, and there was no exit to be found.
Tang Chen's mood became heavy.
Judging from the trend of the cliffs and the distribution of the trees, this seems to be a desperate valley!
After walking for so long, his eyes were full of lush trees, and it looked like a vibrant forest, but Tang Chen always felt that something was missing, but he couldn't say why for a while.
Tang Chen suddenly stopped, chilling all over.
He finally realized the problem!
There were no birds, animals, bees, butterflies and insects, and along the way, Tang Chen didn't see any animals. The wind shook the leaves and made a rustling sound, but he never heard the insects and birds that should be in the forest! Tang Chen rushed back to the edge of the pool, trying to find one or two fish in the pool, proving that this was not a forbidden area for animals, and giving himself a little comfort, but no matter how hard he tried, he still found nothing, and there was no trace of animals drinking water on the edge of the pool.
As a monk, even a fifth-level Qi refining cultivator could quickly perceive a water source through his divine sense, Tang Chen had a wealth of experience in surviving in the wild, and he was very sure that this might be the only water source nearby.
The only source of water, but no animals come to drink......
The last rays of sunlight disappeared in the forest.
Tang Chen's heart was like this forest, gradually falling into darkness.
The forest without animals brought Tang Chen huge psychological pressure, and the fear of the unknown was unsettling.
When Tang Chen faced fear and stress, his self-regulation method was simple and effective: eating.
Fighting requires energy and energy, in order to fight better (although this guy actually has little combat effectiveness), eating! food helps to distract attention, in order to relieve stress, eating! eating is a process, the process will consume time, when you are bored, in order to pass the time, eating! eating when you are happy can make you feel better, eating when you are unhappy can forget your troubles, when you are hungry you need to eat to extend your life, when you are not hungry, you can also eat something to accumulate energy......
In short, in any case, eating is a necessity, a priority, a matter of course, and the right choice that will surely make the world a better place.
The worldview of foodies is as simple and crude as that.
"If my brother is destined to confess here, then he has to eat enough, and he will never be a starving ghost!"
Looking at the rabbit's remains, Tang Chen quickly took out another bag from his waist and skillfully took out one item after another from it: sweet sauce, salt, oil, cooking wine, chili, fennel, cinnamon, vanilla...... In addition to the small bottles containing various condiments, there were cutting boards, a full set of knives, shovels, large and small soup spoons, baskets, soup basins, dishes and chopsticks, woks, porcelain pots, and some messy things, and at the end, he even took out a set of tied barbecue forks.
The things taken out have long exceeded the normal volume of the bag.
This bag is obviously not an ordinary bag, but a Qiankun bag with internal storage function, although it is the lowest and cheapest one, but it can already allow him to carry more than enough cutlery and condiments with him.
Tang Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the neatly arranged cooking items, as if a general was reviewing his own troops. Then they put things back one by one, leaving only a horn knife, cutting boards, cutlery, some spices, and a barbecue fork.
Apparently he had figured out what to do with the poor rabbit, who had died heroically: roasted and eaten.
The horror of falling from a high cliff and the fear of not finding a way out of the valley are all gone at this time. He looked at the rabbit with a focused and soft gaze, like a devout monk worshipping the Buddha, his distracting thoughts thrown out of the clouds, and his face was full of holy radiance.
For a foodie, the magic of food is enough to sweep away all cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods.
There is a ready-made precious ingredient in his hands: the grass rabbit, which makes Tang Chen's motivation to make food reach full value. At the waterhole, he completed a series of steps such as skinning, washing, deboning, and cutting at an astonishing speed, and his skillful knife skills and familiarity with the body structure of rabbits were fully revealed.
After a while, the rabbit was left with a complete skeleton.
