Konoha's Rock King Emperor

In addition to Zhongli and Namikaze Minato, many dignitaries arrived at the banquet at the Daming Mansion. On the surface, it was a celebration banquet for the heroes of the Third Ninja War, but in fact, it was all for Mr. Zhongli, who had made a name for himself during the day. Come.

As the nominal supreme leader of the Fire Country, the daimyo greeted the two ninjas with a red face. Behind him, there was not a traditional twelve ninja as a guard, but a female samurai holding a long sword who was responsible for the daimyo's safety. During this period, she remained cold. He has a face and doesn't care about anything external. He only cares about the safety of his name.

Minato drank a glass of juice and laughed a little awkwardly: "Haha, it seems that because of you Zhongli, the standard of the reception this time has been improved a lot..."

A bunch of tableware and ingredients that he didn't recognize made him a little at a loss, so he could only drink juice frequently, while Zhongli sat with ease, his eyes calm, looking at everything in front of him, understanding in his heart.

The daimyo invites him, and he has no reason to refuse, not to mention that Minato Namikaze is accompanying him, but on the other hand, Zhongli is also happy to stay here and observe Konoha's subsequent attitude towards him.

Zhongli, who has the inheritance of the emperor and the memory of his previous life, will naturally not let Konoha plot against him unilaterally. Zhongli is fully aware of the thoughts of the Third Hokage and Genbe, and he assists Minato Namikaze to help Konoha end the Earth Kingdom in advance. War itself can be regarded as returning the untransformed favors in the sealed book.

Zhongli's attitude towards Konoha has always been that of a bystander. If the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen is enlightened, he will not object to continuing to cooperate with Konoha, but if Nebe and others have subsequent plans for him, Then what he does in the capital of the Fire Country during this period will become an interesting move in the future.

Dream Yixin's martial arts skills and the new Eye of God give Zhongli more room for maneuver. The so-called dream of one heart is not only a martial arts skill, but also the sword of the first generation of thunder god. It was born from her divine power, but it has not been sharpened. If things follow their owners and they are not good at fighting, they will not fight.

However, with the blessing of two generations of thunder gods, its sword is like power, and it is named Dream One Heart, in order to bear witness to the dream-like beautiful rice wife and the noble heart that coexists with this world. The thunder god, one of the seven rulers, himself They are a pair of twin demon gods. They jointly won the Demon God War and established the shogunate. Their sister became a substitute as a silhouette warrior.

In the eyes of the world, the two of them have always been the same existence, and they have always complemented each other and jointly managed Dao Wife, so there is no need for the people to know the truth.

Whether it is the name of the Demon God or the title of General Thunder and Lightning, it can actually always be regarded as referring to both of them at the same time. Especially after succeeding her sister as the new God of Thunder, she pursues the eternal concept closest to heaven, and her dream gradually matures. Sword, Tao, and martial arts form a complete dream.

The core of this martial skill lies in oneself, so in fact, one's own sword is not important. Once one obtains the inheritance of the Thunder God, then that person's sword is the new dream and one's heart, and there is no difference between the two.

"Mr. Zhongli, this is Kikui's cuisine. What do you think?"

"In terms of general rationality, this is a feast that has been passed down for hundreds of years. What you gain from it is tranquility and comfort. The interaction and resonance between nature and human beings is the carving of food and the love for nature. How to understand it? Just like how to understand this stone."

As Zhongli watched, the boulder in front of him seemed to be emitting little bits of starlight. The leader of the daimyo looked curious, and the other accompanying officials praised it repeatedly. Even the cold and unseemly female warrior behind the daimyo showed concern.

"Sen no Rikyu's tea is the origin..."

As Zhongli explained in a steady voice, many officials paused and began to listen to what this young-looking boy said: "The original stone material requires a square box. The so-called beginning of spring is auspicious, and this is what happened in the old first month. reason."

Mentioning this, Zhongli showed a smile: "Seasonal side dishes, this aspect is a bit lost in Damingfu nowadays. The first dish should be eight-inch, and the box for presentation should also use a square gilded wooden box. Sushi.”

"It sounds awesome..."

"Plum tofu, a plum blossom festival made of agar and plum meat, symbolizes the plum blossom festival at Kitano Tenmangu Shrine. The white fish yuzu fragrant stew, the flower wasabi with a refreshing taste of wasabi, and the black bean sweet stew, which means good luck and can ward off disasters. , these three side dishes embody the original central idea of ​​the Eight-Inch Link."

Zhongli, who ate the side dish in one bite, pointed to another plate: "The real cod roe is a clever twist on the name of the candy, using the techniques of borrowing names and objects in cooking, inheriting it and adding innovation at the same time. It is not really made of cod roe. Luoyan does it, so this is the most unorthodox way."

Not authentic?

Are you a Konoha ninja saying that our food is not authentic?

A representative of the samurai family from the Ministry of Rites just wanted to stand up and speak, but was pulled back by his companions. The daimyo on the high platform continued to smile and said nothing, while the woman holding a samurai sword glared at several samurai representatives, and they were so frightened that they immediately left. Flip through the classics and sweat profusely afterwards!

Because as Zhongli said, the Jiepun Baicunlima dish is indeed a spoofed name, not the real food polishing of the original name...

"Then Mr. Zhongli, how do you understand this smell of sprouts?"

Completely unaware of the changes in the expressions of the people around him, Zhongli replied calmly: "I want to convey the spirit of the ingredients. The coltsfoot flower buds buried in the white snow that are not afraid of the cold, although the taste is slightly bitter, are full of vitality and vitality."

"But this banquet still lacks a kind of juice."

"juice?"

Zhongli squeezed it gently with one hand, and the boulder in front of him suddenly emitted a dazzling light. Trumpet-shaped small wine glasses suddenly appeared and landed in front of everyone's desks!

These small wine glasses contain kumquat and wasabi-flavored fruit juice sorbet. The milky-yellow sorbet balls are made by mixing kumquat juice and kumquat peel with yogurt, and then adding wasabi jelly to the mixed kumquat yogurt and freezing it. Made into sorbet.

Minato Namikaze picked up the wine glass and looked at it for a long time, then drank it in one gulp...

“What a different taste...”

From the perspective of food smell, kumquat and wasabi are indeed unique. Both can clear the aftertaste in the mouth and stimulate the tongue.

The two sorbet balls that look the same actually have different amounts of wasabi inside, with less content on the top and more content on the bottom. The purpose of this subtlety is to allow diners to gradually adapt to it without choking.

The female warrior holding a long sword also had a glass in her hand. After watching the many diners drink, she began to lose herself in thought and intoxicated eyes. She was also slightly curious and took a sip of the small drink prepared by Zhongli. Instantly, an indescribable feeling surged through her body.

"Mr. Zhongli's knowledge is really admirable..."

Hedonism can be sublimated to such an extent in his hands, it is simply a monster.
