Omniscient and Almighty

Chapter 7 Incredible Dream

It's a fine day.

The afternoon sunlight shone obliquely in the room through the window and half-closed curtains, moving slowly, moving, and finally a strip of light about an inch long shone on the sleeping person.

Sunlight is warm. ——This is common sense, but it is easily overlooked in many cases.But for a person who is about to wake up, the sunlight shining on the body is enough to bring warmth, a light or even a calling that can be felt even in sleep.

Because of this, Xu Guangling woke up when the sun continued to shine on his body for about 5 minutes.

An indescribable sense of comfort comes immediately, it is a wonderful experience that can only be had after a full and full sleep, and a full rest, adjustment and renewal of the body and mind. However, the fact is that Xu Guangling has been There is no such experience, even, he has forgotten this feeling.

Usually, due to insomnia, Xu Guangling's sleep quality is not good, so every time he wakes up, his head is a little heavy, drowsy, and sometimes he even has a headache, which will disappear after some time.

But now, what does it feel like?

It was as if time was reversed, to six or seven years ago.

Fullness, vitality, vitality, in terms of physical and mental feelings, Xu Guangling only thought of these words for a while.

But this feeling didn't keep Xu Guangling lingering for a long time, and it can even be said that it didn't draw his attention much, and it was only out of physical instinct that he felt these things.Xu Guangling's consciousness immediately focused on another matter.

Last night, something really changed in him!For the time being, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.

Xu Guangling had a dream, but in fact, using "dream" to describe what happened last night is not appropriate, even very inappropriate.

In the past few years, Xu Guangling has had many, many dreams, but no matter what kind of dream, there is always one most obvious feature, that is, the things in the dream are always fragmented and exist in the form of fragments. , Compared with reality, things in dreams are always deformed to varying degrees.

Furthermore, many times, when I first wake up, I still vaguely remember the content of the dream, but soon, like words written on the beach, they will be wiped away by the tide.I only remember dreaming, but I no longer remember what I dreamed of.

But last night, it was different.

No need to close your eyes, no need to meditate, no need to recall, what you "dream" yesterday, vividly appeared in Xu Guangling's mind.

In the dream, he turned into a chef, making a soup called "Nine Grade White Jade Soup".The main ingredients of the soup are not complicated, there are only three kinds, namely mushrooms, tofu, and potatoes. Yes, potatoes are the same ingredients he ate last night, but the selection, method and processing of these three ingredients are completely different. It was something that Xu Guangling had never seen or heard before.

Tofu, take traditional Chinese soybeans, soak them, and peel them. Only the tofu made of pure watercress without the skins is fine enough, without the rough texture and astringent taste brought by the skins. When ordering tofu , what is used is neither brine, nor gypsum, nor inner fat, but a mixture of glutinous rice wine and black rice vinegar.

The tofu produced in this way not only has the mellow aroma of soybean itself, but also has the mellow aroma of rice wine and rice vinegar. These three mellow aromas are harmonious but different. Come.

And the tofu made in this way is fine enough and smooth.

How delicate and smooth is it?The master chef who is so delicate and smooth can cut such tofu as thin as hair.

Cutting it as thin as a hair is not the point, but the point is that when the tofu can be cut so fine, through continuous or broken knives, the tofu shreds can be "bloomed" or put in soup to show It looks like a swaying water plant, and if the shredded tofu is dyed with vegetable juice and other substances, then it is a water plant, at least in terms of appearance, it is almost completely similar.

Shred potatoes, very thin, soak in half of sugar water, half of vinegar water, vinegar water can also be replaced by orange juice, lemon juice, etc.

Mushrooms, take that kind of wild Coprinus comatus, which is the kind with a very long hat that almost completely covers the mushroom stem. Only this kind of mushroom is fresh enough and smooth enough. Silk.

Shredded tofu, shredded potatoes, shredded mushrooms, fine tofu, soft potatoes, tender mushrooms, the three materials complement each other in terms of taste, taste and nutrition, and the soup made from these three materials is Baiyu soup .

Among them, there are three flavors of tofu, two flavors of potatoes, and two flavors of mushrooms. Together they are seven flavors.

Then, the mixture of tofu, potatoes and mushrooms is one flavor, and the clear soup is another flavor. Adding the previous seven flavors, there are nine flavors in total, that is, "Nine Grades".Nine grades, plus the three materials are all as white as jade, which is the origin of "Nine Grades White Jade Soup".

Then, a clear picture appeared in Xu Guangling's mind.

That is, the Nine Grade White Jade Soup has been prepared, put it into a small celadon bowl, put a spoon that is also made of porcelain into it, stir it gently, and you will see countless threads, all spinning like a flower blooming.

Then taste, start with two spoonfuls as an appetizer.

Take the clear soup in the first spoonful to open the mouth, and take the mixed ingredients in the second spoonful to taste the full flavor.

After two spoonfuls, next, you can taste it little by little, carefully and slowly, to taste the taste of the "Nine Grades" of this Nine Grades White Jade Soup.

When such a picture flashed in his mind, Xu Guangling moved his tongue involuntarily, and swallowed again, but felt the saliva gushing out of his mouth like a rising tide in the sea, he swallowed several times in a row, but there was still new saliva giving birth.

Almost for the first time in his life, Xu Guangling understood what "greedy" is. This kind of experience is much more vivid than the dictionary's explanation. No, it is too vivid, so vivid that it makes people feel a little uncomfortable. ——

This is too much!

However, Xu Guangling was a little sluggish when he was greedy.

Is this a dream?

As long as his mind is still a little clear, it is absolutely impossible to regard the previous events as dreams.What kind of dream can be so concrete, so real, and so out of nothing?

Xu Guangling is not a chef, nor has he ever learned how to cook.

He can do some simple things, such as fried shredded potatoes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and stewed tofu, but they are only made to an edible level, and there is absolutely no emphasis on them.He doesn't know anything about knife skills or heat, and he doesn't even know whether to put oil or salt first when cooking, it's completely random.

He has basically never read books on food.

In the past, how could he have such thoughts?

But in yesterday's dream, what did he dream of?That is completely out of thin air!In other words, it wasn't his own.However, after one night, he became familiar with a lot of things without a teacher.

For example, how tofu is made, a complete set of procedures from soybeans to tofu.

For example, tofu is called southern tofu and northern tofu. If it is ordered with gypsum, it is called southern tofu. Tofu stuff...

All these things were unknown to Xu Guangling before, and it can be said that he knew nothing about them.

But at this time, he seemed to be a chef who had been immersed in this way for decades. Xu Guangling even had an illusion, that is, he felt that he could give that "nine-grade white jade soup" to him. do it!Those elaborate and complicated things that would give people a headache just thinking about it, for him now, seem to be as simple as 1+1=2.
