I rely on food to dominate the two worlds

After talking about everything with his uncle, Tang Shaoyan was much more free at home. He didn't have to make excuses when he was cultivating, and he and Tang Huai could work together when cooking.

Since Tang Huai was diagnosed with coronary heart disease in his 20s, he has never cooked anything. He basically cooks porridge and soup with the help of a rice cooker, avoiding all activities that would burden the heart.

But after all, he also learned to cook from Tang's father since he was a child. With the basic skills laid down over more than ten years as a foundation, he helped Tang Shaoyan to fight unambiguously.The so-called elder brother is like a father. Tang Huai is nearly 20 years younger than Tang's father. It can be said that Tang Huai was raised by Tang's father as a son. Both Tang Huai and Tang Shaoyan's cooking skills were trained by Tang's father, which can also be regarded as The teacher came from the same school, so they cooperated more and more tacitly.

After finishing today's practice, Tang Shaoyan sent Jiang Shaoyou a WeChat message, asking him if Tang Huai could practice.Jiang Shaoyou replied quickly, telling him that there are two ways to test spiritual root and aptitude, one is to search directly with spiritual power, and the other is to use a test talisman.Since Tang Shaoyan's current cultivation base is relatively low, it's better to use the Spirit Test Talisman, so Jiang Shaoyou directly sent him two by Fengshun Express.

Tang Shaoyan couldn't help sighing again: Brother Jiang is really a good man!

In Tang Shaoyan's eyes, the red scarf on Jiang Shaoyou's chest became more and more colorful.

The speed of Fengshun Express was top-notch, and Tang Shaoyan received the talisman at around ten o'clock the next morning.

Tang Shaoyan first followed Jiang Shaoyou's instruction, pierced his fingertips with a needle, and dripped blood on one of the spirit-testing talismans. The cinnabar-painted charms on the spirit-testing talisman turned into a dim color at a speed visible to the naked eye.Then Tang Shaoyan injected a little spiritual power into the spirit-testing talisman, and the next moment the spirit-testing talisman started to ignite spontaneously without fire. The flame first turned green, then turned red, and burned for about 5 minutes before going out.

Obviously, the color of the flame shows that Tang Shaoyan is a fire and wood dual spiritual root, and the burning time shows that his aptitude is very good.

After mastering the usage of the spirit-testing talisman, Tang Shaoyan went to Tang Huai and asked him to drip blood on another spirit-testing talisman, and then injected spiritual power into the spirit-testing talisman in the same way.The spirit test talisman slowed down for a while before it started to burn. The flame showed a faint blue color, and then went out quickly.

From this point of view, Tang Huai should be a water spirit root, but his aptitude is not very good.

However, Tang Shaoyan was not too disappointed, because his uncle was over 30 years old after all, and it was normal for his qualifications to be poor.Anyway, having spiritual roots is a good thing. Poor aptitude just means that the speed of cultivation is slower, but it is always better than not being able to cultivate.

You must know that having a spiritual root is a necessary condition for becoming a monk. Only with a spiritual root can you sense the aura of the five elements of the world and use it for yourself.Without spiritual roots, there is no way to build a sea of ​​Qi in the dantian, and there is no place to store spiritual energy. No matter how much spiritual food you eat or how many spiritual pills you take, it will be of no use.

"Uncle, you are the water spirit root! You can practice!" No wonder the uncle is very good at making soup, it turns out that it is the effect of the water spirit root.

After confirming that Tang Huai could practice, Tang Shaoyan taught Tang Huai the Habayashi Jue just like Tang Qian taught him back then, and instructed him how to draw qi into his body.

Tang Huai, who had a sense of qi for the first time, felt extremely novel. He wanted to hit the iron while the iron was hot and start practicing directly, but when he thought about inviting Luo Yu to dinner at home tonight, he had no choice but to give up this idea. The matter of cultivation should wait for Luo Yu to leave talk later.

Since he promised Luo Yu to make claypot rice for him yesterday, Tang Huai went downstairs to buy ingredients. He hadn't gone out for a long time, and he enjoyed the joy of being able to go out freely.

"Ah Huai, why did you come down to buy groceries by yourself? Why don't you call me, I'll ask my husband to deliver it to you!" Aunt Wang saw Tang Huai come down to buy groceries by herself, and immediately stepped forward with concern.

"Aunt Wang, I went to the hospital yesterday, and the doctor said that I have been recuperating very well recently, and my heart condition has improved, so I can move around appropriately." Tang Huai couldn't explain to her that he recovered overnight, so he planned to use A step-by-step approach to letting neighbors know they are on the mend.

"It's getting better! It's still Shaoyan's child who can take care of others, is good at cooking and is obedient. You really did not raise him for nothing." Thinking of the delicious braised pork that day, Aunt Wang was still a little greedy.

Tang Huai was of course happy when Aunt Wang praised his nephew. He bought some chicken drumsticks, mushrooms, yams and pork ribs. When he saw that the eggplant was fresh, he also bought two catties. He planned to make claypot rice with chicken with mushrooms and pork ribs with yam at night. For soup, if you are a vegetarian, make a roasted eggplant with minced meat.

"Aunt Wang, I will make yam pork ribs soup tonight, and I will save a portion for you." In the past, Tang Huai rarely went out, and the food at home was brought by Aunt Wang. Sometimes he would cook specially when he was not feeling well. Send it to him. In order to thank Aunt Wang for taking care of him, he will leave a copy for her every time he cooks soup, and this time is no exception.

"Okay, okay, thank you!" Aunt Wang smiled when she heard this.

In the evening, Luo Yu came to Tang Huai's house on time. As soon as he entered the door, he could smell the strong aroma of the food. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Ah Huai, did you really make claypot rice? It smells really good!"

"Yeah, don't you like to eat? Today's meals are all made by Xiaoyan, so I'm in charge of stewing a soup." He had packed the soup for Aunt Wang and sent it to her in a thermos.

"Uncle Luo, you are here. There is only one eggplant missing, and it will be ready soon." Roasted eggplant with minced meat must be the most delicious freshly cooked, because I don't know when Luo Yu will come, so Tang Shaoyan is not in a hurry to cook , Claypot rice and soup have been prepared, simmering with a small fire.

Looking at Tang Shaoyan's neat knife skills and cooking techniques, Luo Yu couldn't help admiring him. This kid is young, but he has a good posture. It can be seen that he has undergone long-term and rigorous training. It seems that Tang Huai said he is skilled Amazing may be true too.

Luo Yu couldn't help but have some expectations for the meal tonight.

Tang Huai and Luo Yu brought out the claypot rice and soup together, and set the table and chopsticks. Before waiting for a while, Tang Shaoyan came out with hot minced meat and roasted eggplant.

Claypot rice is served in a clay pot. Once the lid is lifted, the rich aroma will burst out along with the heat.The rice grains of the claypot rice are distinct, moist and plump, and the boneless chicken thighs are soaked in light brown with soy sauce and sauce, with a faint oily sheen, making them look very soft and tender.

"Xiaoyu, eat more, don't be polite."

Luo Yu nodded hurriedly, picked up a spoon and took a spoonful of claypot rice.The chicken is tender and smooth, mixed with the aroma of shiitake mushrooms and the deliciousness of black bean sauce. Chewing it with rice with distinct grains, you can only feel the fragrance on your lips and teeth, which is endless aftertaste.

Roasted eggplant with minced meat is also delicious. The eggplant is ruddy and shiny, and is covered with a layer of attractive thick sauce. Just looking at it will make your index finger move.The eggplant tastes soft yet tough. The minced meat, sauce and eggplant are skillfully blended together. You can taste the rich sauce in every bite. It is the most suitable for dinner.

If you want to say that the claypot rice with chicken with mushrooms and eggplant with minced meat is a bit heavy, then it is best to use the light and delicious yam pork rib soup to adjust it.Every piece of pork ribs is fresh and tender meat with bones. I don't know how long it has been stewed. The meat is so crispy and rotten that it almost melts in the mouth.The soft, glutinous and sweet yam matched perfectly with the umami of the pork ribs. Luo Yu kept giving thumbs up, eating without even raising his head.

A large bowl of claypot rice bottomed out quickly, and there were still some scorched rice crusts at the bottom, which were the most fragrant and crispy yellow. Shovel it up with a spoon and eat it with soup. The taste is crispy and has a slight burnt aroma. Evocative.

The three of them ate up the two dishes and one soup. Luo Yu hugged his stomach and burped, his face was full of satisfaction, and he couldn't be more satisfied.

"Oh my god, are both your uncle and nephew's cooking skills outstanding? This is the best claypot rice I've ever eaten!"

"Is it better than the store yesterday?"

"Of course!" Luo Yu is usually very busy at work, and he can eat in one bite in his spare time, so he can be regarded as a half-time glutton, so he analyzed it clearly and logically, "I always think their claypot rice is delicious, because it is made with All the ingredients are the freshest, and the taste is well prepared, but it may be a lot of rice at the same time, and the taste is sometimes a little lacking. But Xiaoyan’s claypot rice does not have this problem at all, chicken, shiitake mushrooms, There is nothing bad about the taste of the rice, and the taste is also sweet and soft, and it can't be more delicious! It's a pity that you don't open a shop with such craftsmanship!"

Tang Huai couldn't help laughing out loud, "Is it that exaggerated?"

"Where is the exaggeration?! Your roasted eggplant with minced meat and pork ribs with yam soup are also outrageous. I really want to pay for your family's food expenses, and I will come to eat every day in the future!"

"Hahaha, come when you are free, we welcome you anytime." Tang Huai was also amused by his friend's exaggerated tone.

After eating and drinking, the two made a pot of tea and chatted together in the living room. Tang Shaoyan didn't want to disturb their friendship, so he went back to his room to take a shower.

It wasn't until about nine o'clock that Luo Yu bid farewell and left.

The ingredients for today’s dinner were of course tempered by Tang Shaoyan with spiritual power. Although Luo Yu also ate them, the spiritual energy content in the ingredients is actually very little, which will not only cause no harm to ordinary people, but also nourish their bodies .

After taking a bath, Tang Shaoyan meditated in the room to refine spiritual energy.

Tang Huai also went back to the room and began to try to induce Qi into the body as taught by Tang Shaoyan, but his aptitude was not as good as Tang Shaoyan's, and it took three days to complete the induction of Qi into the body.
