It's Liao Zhai, not Cthulhu

So he opened his mouth, and the soup full of a lake was also swallowed into his belly like a whale.

After drinking the clear soup from the whole lake, Qin Yuelou stroked his belly with difficulty.

He is full.

"Eight full, it's not bad."

-

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Qin Yuelou?" A high-pitched middle-aged male voice interrupted Qin Yuelou's half-dream and half-awake state.

"I am, may I ask you?" Qin Yuelou asked the middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man has a white face and no beard. Although he has an Adam's apple, he is a crippled person. Coupled with his high-pitched voice, it can be concluded that this man is a eunuch.

"Our family name is Chen, and we are here to invite Mr. Qin to this banquet full of gold and jade." Eunuch Chen said, also very sincere to Qin Yuelou, and then explained, "The emperor asked me to invite you, he I have something important to do, so I can't go out of the palace to invite you personally."

"Eunuch Chen, if Princess Yunluo asks you to be a lobbyist, you don't have to use the name of the emperor to suppress me. In the end, this rich and beautiful house is just a battle between the chefs inside and outside to defend yourself. It's all about ideas, I don't belong to the two factions, it's too inappropriate for me to be an outsider to participate." Qin Yuelou naturally listened to Eunuch Chen's heartfelt thoughts with his six ears.

"Hey, Mr. Qin, you don't know something now. Our family watched and grew up Princess Yunluo, and I am also a handicapped person. Does the Lord have a loving heart?" Eunuch Chen asked sincerely.

Qin Yuelou could tell that this Eunuch Chen had no children, and his feelings for Princess Yunluo were similar to a father's love for his children, but as he got older, it seemed more like an intergenerational relationship.

"Princess Yunluo also talked about the dispute with you. She has a lot of expectations for you. She really has..." Qin Yuelou answered before Eunuch Chen finished speaking. .

"Unreasonable thoughts?" Qin Yuelou also teased.

"Mr. Qin, you are making a big joke." Eunuch Chen was quite ashamed.

"Eunuch Chen, to be honest, I really don't intend to participate in this house full of gold and jade, but if Princess Yunluo is still unhappy, it can only be said that she is not so open-minded."

"Your child seems to be only in his twenties, and you are a good-looking person. Why are you so ignorant?" Eunuch Chen laughed a little angrily at Qin Yuelou, "That's the princess, you kid, don't you think so?" Could it be playing hard to get?"

"If I push forward more than ten years, I may still have the idea of ​​being soft and hard, but I think the love in the world is too unsuitable for me.

All things in this world, love is evil, even if two lovers come together, and those who admire them or them will be hurt, so can this love not be bitter?

What's more, apart from the suffering of love, where in this world is there not a sea of ​​suffering?

People’s desires are endless. When they are beggars, they want to eat and drink enough. When they are full, they want rich clothes and fine food. When they have rich clothes and fine food, they want to have power. They are all sinking in the sea of ​​suffering, and I am no different from this. Besides, I have all kinds of internal and external troubles, whether it is in the sky, beyond the sky, or in this world. "

Qin Yuelou expressed his feelings, and suddenly felt that participating in this [Golden Jade Mantang] might refresh his achievements, but not participating is also an idea to maintain a complete mind.

The consummation of mind lies in seeing the big from the small, and not caring about some things. For Qin Yuelou, this may be a kind of inaction thinking.

But doing nothing doesn't mean that you can't do anything. The so-called doing nothing, in Qin Yuelou's view, means that doing nothing means doing nothing but doing something forcefully.

"Thousands of dreams, aren't they the epitome of the world of mortals? How can this world of mortals be regarded as a big net? Network all the people in this world of mortals." Qin Yuelou looked up at the sky.

Various thoughts also appeared in my mind.

The white matter avatar fights against Wudinghe, and the cook avatar and it can be regarded as the same goal by different routes, that is, to go deep into the world of mortals and feel the world of mortals.

The reason why it is said that the two lead to the same goal by different routes is because the fate arranged by Wuding River is like a sky net, which nets the world into it.

And the world of mortals is also a network, in which all living beings are networked.

The two invisible and substanceless nets engulf everyone in it, just like flying insects jumping into the net.

The fiery eyes opened at the right time, but they returned to their original nature and turned into lustrous and moist eyes, with a restrained spirit.

But in Qin Yuelou's vision, the red silk is illusory and unreal, but it spreads all over the world.

Although Hongchen is a conceptual term, in Qin Yuelou's eyes, it shows the realization of his understanding.

"It turns out that this is the world of mortals in my eyes." Qin Yuelou stretched out his hand to capture it, and some threads of the world of mortals floated into his palm like strands of red lines.

And he can also see that he is in this world of mortals, and there are many traces of mortals on his body.

"In the world of mortals, how can we not be polluted by the world of mortals? Being born into the world is practice, but the state of mind is different, so what is my way? The way of eating dreams? The way of all transformations? The way of cooking gods ? No, these are just my means, the means to seek my own way, I am in the world of mortals, how can I not roll in the world of mortals? And the dream is also a reflection of the world of mortals... My way finally has looks."

The more he asked back in his heart, the more Qin Yuelou was able to comprehend layer by layer, and his own methods were also integrated by him one by one.

The integration of abilities is the concept of Liuku and Wuzhuang, and the integration of means is the outline of his Tao, the embryonic form of Tao.

"Mr. Qin, what are you talking about? I don't understand anything." Eunuch Chen was confused, but interrupted Qin Yuelou's enlightenment.

But fortunately, his way has been established, but he is still short of finishing touches, but he also wants to thank Eunuch Chen.

Eunuch Chen is to a cook what a little yellow duck is to a programmer.

Many programmers have had the experience of asking and explaining programming problems to others, perhaps even to people who don't know how to program at all, and in the process of explaining they hit the solution to the problem.

By clarifying the intent of your code while observing its actual intent and debugging, any incongruities between the two become apparent, and it becomes easier to spot your mistakes.

So programmers will have little yellow ducks, or substitutes for little yellow ducks, to confide in.

But if it wasn't for Eunuch Chen's visit and Qin Yuelou's words, then the chance of enlightenment would have been delayed.

Therefore, Eunuch Chen may be regarded as a noble person who "raises points" to Qin Yuelou.

"It's nothing, I just thought of a lot of things, but Eunuch Chen, if you retire... and return home, what do you want to do?" Qin Yuelou asked Chen Eunuch sideways, and at the same time sorted out Eunuch Chen's body. The silken world of mortals.

And read the past of Eunuch Chen one by one. This Eunuch Chen is a very kind and good man. Although he is in the palace, he treats people very kindly, and he is kind from the heart. , this Eunuch Chen is a personal eunuch, his status is similar to that of San Dezi, there were also palace fights at that time, but in the intrigues in the palace fights, there would also be innocent palace maids, eunuchs and even guards who were responsible, and when he was alone, he also treated many people who were about to be executed Innocent people lend a helping hand to help them escape, and that's all they can do.

Some eunuchs are mentally distorted and perverted, but Eunuch Chen is also a caring person. He knows that everyone suffers, but he is optimistic. Therefore, his mental health is healthier than some eunuchs, no, even healthy people .

He didn't think about his own future, he just felt that he could help if he should. Although life is not satisfactory, it is better to live than to die. If a person dies, then everything is really over.

In this way, Qin Yuelou felt that he should thank this Eunuch Chen even more.

"It's all the same...but if I really retire and return to my hometown, I definitely want to marry a wife and adopt some children. Although it's not humane, but...it's good to be able to support each other when I'm old. Companion, if I leave first, I can take my treasure to rest in peace. After all, you also know that if I don’t bring that treasure, I may not be able to enter reincarnation. If my wife leaves first, then I can also Deal with the funeral with those children, after all... people will die if they live."

In Dajing's circle of eunuchs, there is indeed a saying that if you don't bring your baby with you, you will not be able to enter reincarnation.

"Then tell me when you will retire and return home, and I will entertain you then." Qin Yuelou said.

"Actually, it's almost too soon. This time, I'm going to retire and return home." Eunuch Chen said, "It's just that I don't know if I can see those children again in the future."

"In life, in the world of mortals, on the Internet, in the vast sea of ​​people, all living beings can be met in the end." Qin Yuelou comforted Eunuch Chen.

"However, I won't participate in the golden and jade-filled hall. You can go back and talk to Princess Yunluo."

"You child, why are you so incomprehensible?"

"It's not that I don't understand style, but that there is no possibility between me and her."

As Qin Yuelou said, he quietly threw the red dust silk thread that he had just taken off into the nearby red dust.

"She and I are just a coincidence. The difference between a diner and a chef is just that. There is no fate, so you let her save it." The cook said at the same time.

While removing other threads of mortals, these threads of mortals are his fate, whether it is a rotten peach blossom or a good fate, he discards them all like a pair of shoes.

This is why, the reason why the white matter can't be counted as the cook's peach blossom.

Because the cook didn't intend to accept it.

Although the marriage arranged by the heavens is the greatest, even if Yuelao puts a red line on him in person, he can move away with a delicate posture.

The cook avatar will not have any emotional lines,

Because he only intends to focus on his own path.

How can there be a career in dating?

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

After integrating his own methods, Qin Yuelou didn't encounter anything worthy of mentioning. He didn't exorcise demons or exorcise evil spirits. It was just commonplace, researching dishes, and cultivating various ingredients in the dream world of mountains and seas.

Afterwards, the internal and external food wars of Jin Yumantang began, and he also went with Yuchi's family at the invitation.

He was also listening to Yu Chijing's introduction of those chefs from both inside and outside worlds.

There are not many chefs in the internal and external food battle, so the current competition is based on the elimination system.

There are seven chefs on the outside and seven chefs on the inside.

There will be people who are eliminated every day, and today's competition between the two worlds is the appetizer.

In Dajing’s banquet specifications, the so-called appetizers refer to cold dishes. After all, appetizers are dishes that are added to the stomach and appetizers before the main course. That would just be putting the cart before the horse.

Qin Yuelou glanced at the dishes prepared by the fourteen chefs, and knew that these chefs planned to order some appetizers.

Spicy cabbage, cold fungus, cucumber, cold bean curd...

"Actually, it's a coincidence that the house is full of gold and jade. Everyone knows the content of the dish competition that day, so they can prepare in advance." Qin Yuelou thought in his heart, and his eyes focused on a young boy in white. .

The young boy had a broad forehead and long braids, but he looked only twelve or thirteen years old, and he could be said to be the youngest chef among these chefs.

Qin Yuelou looked at the name tag in front of the young boy.

"Hong Fuxing? The name is quite lucky..." Qin Yuelou thought of some childhood memories.

Yu Hua was the literary consultant for "Little Fortune, the Chef" back then. That's right, he was the same Yu Hua who wrote "To Live". Everyone's ending was difficult.

"I hope this child won't be like Xiao Fugui." Qin Yuelou thought in his heart, and paid special attention to Hong Fuxing.

Hong Fuxing took out some prepared leaves. The leaves of these leaves are ovate to elliptical, with sparse serrations and eyelashes on the edges. The upper part is green, the veins are sunken, and the lower part is gray-green.

Put it full into the pot, and then pour boiling water to soften the leaves.

"Mr. Qin, what is that young boy doing? Can the leaves be used as an appetizer?" Yu Chihui also followed Qin Yuelou's gaze to observe Hong Fuxing.

"It's a two-winged six-way tree. Its leaves are also called fairy leaves. They are edible. It seems that he wants to make fairy tofu. It's just that the leaves are sweet and bitter, and it takes a long time to get rid of the bitterness." That's fine." Qin Yuelou touched his chin and said.

I saw that Hong Fuxing waited for the boiling water to cool down, then changed the water and floated again, and repeated this six times, adding a few drops of clear oil, mixing it with cold water, and then adding boiling water again, but at this moment it was also lukewarm water. Clean hands, repeatedly knead the leaves of those fairy leaves in the pot, and then mash and grind them with a pestle until the leaves become a paste.

"There is also a legend about the origin of this fairy tofu. It is said that it is not known whether it was the previous dynasty or the previous dynasty. One year there was a natural disaster and the grains were not harvested. A man named Wang Sheng was enlightened by the gods and led the villagers to go up the mountain to collect these gods. leaves, and then mash the leaves to make "tofu" to eat. In this way, people rely on this "tofu" to survive the spring famine. Because this "tofu" is made by gods, the villagers call it "tofu". "Shenxian tofu", the leaves that make "shenxian tofu" are called "shenxian leaves". Later, "shenxian tofu" became a life-saving food for farmers in that mountainous area to survive the famine." Qin Yuelou explained.

There was also fairy tofu in the previous life, which is very similar to the allusion of fairy tofu in this world, but this is only because he was talking about sex, and he was very interested in explaining it.

What really made Qin Yuelou feel wonderful was that he was able to sense some supernatural powers from Hong Fuxing's body, and then he felt it deeply.

"Wonderful, this child's innate supernatural powers are really suitable for doing these things."

The child purely relied on his own super perception and top-level feeling, purely relying on his own body feeling, during the grinding process, the paste-like fairy leaves were more fully and tightly bonded, but then they were broken apart.

The so-called you have me, I have you, is similar to this, but the paste can not see the part, but a whole.

But at a more subtle level, the internal molecular structure of these fairy leaves was dismantled by the youth's supernatural powers, and then reassembled in another form.

And Hong Fuxing added preserved eggs and inner fat tofu into it.

"Wonderful, is this the rudimentary form of molecular cuisine in this world? And this supernatural power, which is accurate to molecular recombination, also has a great effect on changing the nature of ingredients."

Qin Yuelou accurately sensed that the molecules were broken and reorganized, which is equivalent to incorporating the advantages of preserved eggs and tofu.

"Is this tofu?" Yu Chijing asked Qin Yuelou with some doubts, "These things are combined together, it seems that there is no appetite at all."

"It's not necessarily tofu. It should be regarded as jelly, but it's cut into pieces after completion and treated as tofu." Qin Yuelou explained,

"But in fact, the original appearance of every food you eat may not be so good. For example, meat products. You only see the appearance of the dishes when they are on the table, and you don't see those animals being killed and then cut open. The appearance of bleeding,

As a human, I am determined not to treat myself badly when it comes to eating, but,

Hunting for food also has to be done carefully, and killing for food is even less advisable. "

As Qin Yuelou spoke, Yu Chijing nodded in agreement.

Then Qin Yuelou saw that Hong Fuxing used gauze and a fine sieve to repeatedly filter it into the mold. The mold was square and emerald green filter paste also fell into the mold, and then Hong Fuxing He picked up a thing wrapped in thatched animal skin from under his feet, and after unpacking it, there was an iron box inside. When he opened the iron box, it was full of ice.

Hong Fuxing also put the mold into the prepared ice.

Qin Yuelou looked at it and nodded again and again: "This kid has an ingenious idea. He used ice cubes to speed up the solidification process of the immortal tofu."

Although there are spells in this world, you can make ice cubes at will, but there are not many magic spells, so the origin of these ices is inseparable from wisdom.

There was gunpowder in Dajing, and there were fireworks and firecrackers in Dajing New Year, and the use of gunpowder also stimulated the prosperity of the sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal industries.

Among them, the chemical ice-making method is the process of dissolving saltpeter, and the dissolution of saltpeter can cool the water below the freezing point, so that the ice cubes appear.

The preservation of ice cubes only needs to have a thermal insulation layer.

This can be seen in Qin Yuelou's previous life. When he was a child, he would see an old man pushing a bicycle when he went to the square in summer. The back seat of the old man's bicycle was wrapped in a plastic box with rags. Ice cubes, with various iced drinks.

And Hong Fuxing preserved the ice cubes in the same way.

Therefore, Qin Yuelou couldn't help but take a few more glances at Hong Fuxing.

Hong Fuxing counted the time and prepared other materials.

Put the oil into the pan, heat it and let it cool for a while, then add the dried and chopped millet chili peppers, stir-fry continuously until the oil surface is no longer bubbling, then Hong Fuxing pours the oil chili peppers into the clay pot to cool down.

Then he continued to pound the garlic without stopping, and his innate supernatural powers were manifested again at this moment.

"It's mashed garlic, it's really something that brings back memories." Qin Yuelou couldn't help but sigh.

When he was a child, when he was at his grandparents’ house, his grandfather wore reading glasses, peeled the garlic skin, put the garlic into a jar, and grinded it with a pestle continuously. The juice was mixed with the garlic, and his grandfather scooped it He gave Qin Anyi a small spoonful of mashed garlic. It was so hot that he couldn't stop sticking out his tongue to fan the wind.
