food color system

The copper coins earned were only enough to buy a pigeon and some peanuts.

Zhuo Yichen bought the dried peanuts from the old man who carried the burden.The old man looked hale and hearty, he sat leisurely on the bench smoking a pipe, never hawked, and did not attract many pedestrians.Zhuo Yichen first walked over with the mentality of taking care of business.He grabbed a small handful of peanuts and rubbed them in his palm, the red skin of the peanuts did not fall off at all.He put it under his nose and smelled it again, and his keen sense of smell caught a few traces of spicy and sweet taste.

Zhuo Yichen gave all the remaining copper coins to the old man, but only took away a small handful of peanuts.

The old man stopped him with a smile, "I said, little brother, you didn't ask how to sell the peanuts, why did you give me so many copper coins to this old man. Brother, you can take more, you Give the copper plate enough to catch five."

Zhuo Yichen shook his head, "I can only buy two handfuls with this money. Your peanuts are dry-fried with salt, vinegar, pepper, tangerine peel, and fennel, and dried for at least half a month after frying. I can’t buy that number for this craft.”

After hearing these words, the old man showed some surprise on his face. He stroked his beard and said, "Little brother, it seems that you are still a swordsman, and your swordsmanship is extraordinary."

Zhuo Yichen smiled, and clasped his fists in front of his chest according to the ancient etiquette, "I would like to ask the old man to enlighten me. These peanuts have been roasted and dried, but the skin does not lose half. How can I do it?"

The old man laughed and nodded appreciatively.

"I call this five-flavored peanut, young man, you can tell all the ingredients right just by smelling it. I, old man Shao, admire you."

Zhuo Yichen immediately lowered his head and bowed, "I dare not be that."

The old man knocked his pipe on the bench and stood up.He saw the little oil truck of the two brothers, and asked, "Young man, what are you frying, it tastes a bit strange, dried tofu?"

Zhuo Yichen smiled and nodded, "Old Mr. Shao, the reason for the strange smell is that this is dried stinky tofu. Would you like to try it?"

The old man immediately smiled heartily: "Okay!"

Before, Zhuo Yichen set up a stall by himself, but Zhuo Yun evacuated all of them as soon as he came back, so some of their dried tofu was not sold, and now they just fried it for the elderly to taste.

After the old man tasted it, he nodded heavily, and gave Zhuo Yichen an appreciative look, "Okay, very good!"

Zhuo Yichen bent down again and bowed to the old man before leaving with Zhuo Yun.

The two were walking on the way back, Zhuo Yichen was still thinking about the craftsmanship of the five-flavored peanuts, Zhuo Yun looked at him carefully, and suddenly said, "Why are you completely changed."

This sentence startled Zhuo Yichen, thinking that his identity had been seen through.But after thinking about it, I felt that I had no flaws.He has been dutifully playing a stuttering boy who is slightly demented, slow to respond, doesn't like to talk but is still very sensible!Although he often complains silently in his heart, Zhuo Yun won't find out about this, right?

"When it comes to food and cooking skills, you have changed your whole style. Your back is straight, your eyes are sharp, and your reaction is much faster. And ah..." Zhuo Yun cast a meaningful glance, " You don't even talk anymore."

Zhuo Yichen's expression turned serious, yes, he just talked about cooking with that old gentleman, and he said it so smoothly.But it's not going to work now, he stutters as soon as he speaks.How is this going?Is it a harbinger of full recovery?

Zhuo Yun said slowly: "In my opinion, your stuttering should be curable."

Hearing this, Zhuo Yichen slowly stretched out his hand, and gently tugged at Zhuo Yun's sleeve, meaning to ask: How to cure it?

Zhuo Yun grasped the outstretched hand, rubbed his fingertips on the warm wrist, and said slowly, "Scared."

Zhuo Yichen was taken aback.What?

"It is said that if a child in the folk has a stuttering disorder, the parents will bring a vicious dog to scare him. Once frightened, the child will be fine. But, you have been a little stupid since you were a child, and you don't know fright and fear. What, the things that scare ordinary people don't scare you."

Zhuo Yichen's expression became serious, and he asked silently with doubtful eyes: Will the scaring method cure stuttering, will there be no side effects?

Zhuo Yun smiled and said: "I've only heard about it, I've never seen it with my own eyes." He grew up in the palace since he was a child, so naturally he didn't see the things of the people. of.

"Even if this prescription is feasible, it may not be applicable to you," Zhuo Yun clenched Yichen's wrist, slowly pulled him closer to him, lowered his head to his ear, and whispered, "A fool can Do you know what it's like to be frightened? I'm afraid you won't feel it at all. Or are you just playing dumb?"

Zhuo Yichen was startled for a moment, then he broke away from Zhuo Yun's hand, took a big step to the side, and avoided it.

What happened to Zhuo Yun?As if he already knew that "Zhuo Yichen" had been replaced with a sub-core, a message was revealed everywhere in his words: I knew you were not stupid, I have already seen through you.

Zhuo Yichen shuddered.

Damn, I'm terrified of you!

Seeing Yichen's look of avoiding it, Zhuo Yun seemed quite interested, and teased him jokingly: "Hey, why are you so far away from me, afraid of me? Is it possible that I will still eat, you? "

Zhuo Yichen looked at the younger brother in front of him who was smiling provocatively at him, he felt a strong sense of cheating, and began to complain silently.

What is the background of this man?Ancient wear or today's wear?Being so unscrupulous, you definitely don't think of me as your brother.What should I do if my true identity is seen through by him?Will you threaten me with this?If parents also know that this body has changed hands, will they still keep him as their son?If the world knew about the soul exchange, wouldn't they drag him out as a monster and burn him to death?Maybe he will blame him for the death of the Allah of the body, and accuse him of occupying this body...

Just as Zhuo Yichen was panicking as his thoughts got worse, Zhuo Yun took a step forward, and Zhuo Yichen subconsciously stepped back, but he stumbled and almost fell down.Fortunately, Zhuo Yun hugged him in time, wrapped his waist with one hand, and supported his shoulder with the other.

The handsome and handsome eyebrows suddenly approached.

Zhuo Yun whispered: "What? Are you really afraid of me?"

To be honest, there is a little bit.

"Why are you afraid of me?"

Because your identity is unknown, and your behavior is still reckless. I don't know if it's an enemy or a friend. What on earth do you want to do to me?

Zhuo Yun caught the flash of panic in Yi Chen's eyes, and his tone suddenly became soft, "Brother, I'll ask you one more question, just answer me obediently." But his eyes became A little bit sharper.

"Since I am your younger brother, why are you still so fearful in front of me?" Could it be that you already know my identity?

The last sentence Zhuo Yun just asked in his heart, never really said it.After his mysterious death in the palace, his soul was placed in his younger brother's body. Many behaviors were naturally a little different from before, but Zhuo's father and Zhuo mother did not doubt that he was there, but this seemingly stupid brother seemed to have seen through it. As if he had lost his identity.This point about Zhuo Yichen made Zhuo Yun feel a little suspicious. Since this person is not stupid, why would he pretend to be stupid on purpose?What is the purpose?

"I, I, I, I... I'm not afraid, yes yes... It's you, yourself... My wife..." Zhuo Yichen was already stuttering, and when he spoke in a hurry, he couldn't speak smoothly. He didn't speak for a long time. Toss out a complete sentence.

If it was normal, Zhuo Yun would definitely not ask him when he saw him like this, but this time he insisted on asking, "What is too much?"

Zhuo Yichen kept stalking and stalking, swallowing saliva non-stop, but couldn't get a word out.

Zhuo Yun's subordinates exerted a little force and pulled the man into his arms again and again.But there was no emotion in his eyes, which made people feel chills down their spines.

"Slack... let go..."

Of course Zhuo Yun didn't listen, instead he hugged her even harder, "My brother, you really said it."

Zhuo Yichen was so forced that he couldn't do it, so he shouted, "Ma'am...too suspicious!"

Zhuo Yichen wanted to push the opponent away after shouting like this, but the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, no matter how hard he struggled, Zhuo Yun would not move at all.

Zhuo Yun could hear the word "suspicious" very clearly, he stared at Zhuo Yichen for a moment, then suddenly let go of his hand.Immediately, the corner of his mouth evoked a faint smile with unknown meaning.

Zhuo Yichen cast a slightly sullen questioning look at him, but Zhuo Yun only heard a soft snort and lowered his head.Then, he walked away.Zhuo Yichen was also a little angry, but after thinking about it, he just persuaded himself, so why bother.Since your identities and mine are both unusual and cannot be explained to outsiders, then let's understand each other, be considerate of each other, and tacitly understand each other.If you want to lose your temper, I will tolerate you. Who made me older and more mature than you?Hey... It's fine if you don't think of me as a brother, but I still want to treat you as a brother.

Zhuo Yichen quickly regained his original indifference and optimism. He straightened his sleeves that were wrinkled by Zhuo Yun, and quickly chased after him.

However, when Zhuo Yun hugged her tightly and questioned him step by step, Zhuo Yichen discovered that the "color value" had increased a bit.

This is strange, why do they increase when they are clearly arguing?Zhuo Yichen has already understood the method of accumulating "food value", but he, a straight-minded and good-natured young man, is a bit confused about the way of this weird "color value".

Forget it, Zhuo Yichen thought, this "color value" probably won't come in handy for him, as long as there is "food value" is enough!

After returning to the house, Zhuo Yichen started to work again.He first put the meat pigeon in a pot and blanched it with hot water before starting to cook it.The firewood in the kitchen was almost used up, so he went to the backyard to fetch a large bundle of firewood, and walked very hard.When he came back, there was another person beside the stove, and it was Zhuo Yun.

Zhuo Yichen quickly reminded him: "Xiaoxiao, be careful... be careful of being hot."

Zhuo Yun walked towards him and took the bundle of firewood in his hand.

Zhuo Yichen couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and glanced at Zhuo Yun, asking: Are you not angry anymore?

Zhuo Yun just smiled.

Then the brothers set to work.With Zhuo Yun as his helper, Zhuo Yichen could do it much faster.He chopped water shield and shallots, stuffed them with peanuts into the belly of the meat pigeon, put them in a large casserole, added various sauces and seasonings, and started to stew.Zhuo Yichen covered the casserole with a damp cloth to reduce the evaporation of steam and heat it up faster.

After finishing everything in the kitchen, Zhuo Yichen went to the front yard again, fetched a bucket of water from the well, sprinkled it on the ground, and began to clean the yard.

Zhuo Yichen knew that Zhuo Yun was looking at him, but Zhuo Yun didn't take the initiative to speak, so he couldn't say much.Therefore, Zhuo Yichen put all his attention on the matter at hand.

Well, this body has improved a lot, and its physical strength and physique have improved a lot.In the past, Zhuo Yichen always worked very hard, but now he is not panting from exhaustion, just sweating a lot.But after sweating, the body is very comfortable.

Zhuo Yichen guessed that it was almost time, so he went to the kitchen again.

The squab in the casserole has been simmering for a long time, and when the lid is opened, the aroma overflows.The meat pigeon has been completely rotten, and all the nutrients have penetrated into the soup.

Zhuo Yichen took out a long spoon to stir, and suddenly someone hugged him behind him.

Zhuo Yun rested his chin on his shoulder, but didn't speak, just dawdling lightly.

Zhuo Yichen understood.What Zhuo Yun meant was nothing more than: I want to eat.

It was only at this time that Zhuo Yun acted like a younger brother who acted like a baby to his elder brother.

Zhuo Yichen filled a bowl of thick pigeon soup and handed it to Zhuo Yun.Zhuo Yun took the soup bowl and took a sip.Zhuo Yichen immediately became slightly nervous.

Because Zhuo Yun's discerning and keen sense of taste is comparable to modern top diners, Zhuo Yichen pays special attention to any of his expressions and reactions.

The thick pigeon soup slowly slides down the throat, the taste is fresh but not greasy.

Zhuo Yun pursed his lips, and finally nodded under Zhuo Yichen's expectant eyes, "Not bad."

Zhuo Yichen breathed a sigh of relief.Immediately afterwards, he saw the progress bar of "Food Value" suddenly exploded.The light flashed suddenly, and Zhuo Yichen was so happy that he couldn't help grinning.I don't know what reward the System Lord will give him this time?

Zhuo Yun said: "Your skill is comparable to that of an imperial chef. If you don't even pass the first test of the Famous Knife Club this time, then I will be ashamed to face others."

Zhuo Yichen really wanted to ask: How do you know what level the imperial chef is?

Zhuo Yun also saw the doubt in Zhuo Yichen's eyes, but he didn't intend to answer, but said, "My parents are coming back, hurry up and fill them out."

As soon as the words fell, the father's voice came from the front room, but it was not as kind as usual.

"Zhuo Yun, come out quickly!" Father Zhuo's tone was filled with obvious anger.

Zhuo Yichen was startled, what's wrong?He quickly looked at Zhuo Yun, but found that the other party was very calm.But in fact, Zhuo Yun's heart skipped a beat.

What was father doing looking for him so angrily?
