I don't like sour and sweet things, so I just think it's... very hearty.However, apart from lovers, it is the individual who cares about the color and shape of food first, and then the taste.

For example, the Western Orthodox Church invented something called almond biscuits. It has a delicate appearance and excellent color matching. It was very popular in the monastic circle for a while at first, but gradually no one cares about it because it is too sweet. In addition, the taste is greatly affected by the environment and the pastry chef's craftsmanship, resulting in nine out of ten of these dim sum being mines.

In the face of the senior judges, the senior judges whose age of appreciating delicacies is far beyond the age of others, is his creativity like almond biscuits in their eyes?I am anxious. "

Concerns lead to chaos, Mr. Shaolin and Ruisui are both on the verge of a formidable enemy, only Xia Qifeng calmly analyzed: "If we are simulating spring now, do we have to dye the starch green with vegetable juice or fruit juice to simulate revived plants? Hmm, maybe you have to consider a change in appearance?"

She guessed right, Gui Tangdong really thought so, Youyouzi likes sweet and sour, and can accept original creations, so his original desserts are perfect for her.but.It needs to be seriously pointed out that he does not have the talent to create a dish for nothing. Whether it is plum slice cleansing powder snowflake candy or cherry slice cleansing powder catkin candy, the prototypes are all the dipped icing that he has seen in books in his previous life and bought in reality. of jellybeans.

Li Qingchuan and Jiang Xianchen handled the ingredients for the next dish, while Gui Tangdong continued to cook the bones with his palms, even though the field kitchen system could shorten the cooking time to one-eighth, allowing him to cook in about an hour. He got usable gelatin, but he lacked a reliable supply of solid spiritual power, so he could only use palm power instead, and the other hand was handling the processed part of the first dessert, and guiding two novices in the kitchen by the way.

"..."

Contrary to Gui Tangdong's side, Zhang Lanying is the second in the team, only responsible for the labor and simple procedures in the processing of ingredients, because Aunt Wu found two wizards with a balance of combat power and cooking skills for her to mix into her team. Anyway, from the very beginning, all members of her team played the role of the mysterious hooded man. As long as she looked for someone with a similar body shape, the replacement would be seamless—the organizer was all her people, so what if she cheated?

However, the wizards didn't dare to go too far. They were looking for someone with the best culinary skills and a suitable body shape among the third-level wizards to replace them, instead of directly stuffing the chef of the state banquet into Zhang Lanying's team... that would be too obvious .

Now, Zhang Lanying was stunned when she saw Gui Tangdong on the opposite side, because the other party was showing off skills and adding special effects, and the dishes he made were not like known dishes, which aroused her curiosity, and through the emerald brooch on her neckline, Aunt Wu, who was in charge of the real-time situation on the scene, comforted: "Don't worry, we hired Tengu in advance, which has already disrupted his food collection and put his food quality at a disadvantage first.

Then, we paid a lot of money to collect ingredients from shops related to human settlements, and only left him a little bit of high-quality goods to reduce his food reserves.

In the end, the person who told him the information of the judges was also someone we bought. The information he got was correct, but there were deviations. The tastes and hobbies of the five judges were far wider than what we deliberately disclosed to him. intelligence, increasing the difficulty of his dish selection.

His flamboyant way of handling ingredients, as well as the special effects imposed by running illusions are indeed very interesting to watch, but under the heavy blockade, the upper limit of the taste of his food can be imagined, and in the food evaluation, after all, the taste accounts for the majority. "

"However, the way he uses the kitchen, the precise control over the flame and temperature, looks like..."

Aunt Wu replied: "Guidangdong, the true biography of Yangyan Mansion, we also suspect it's him. It's Li Qingchuan, his senior sister who made the whip, and Jiang Xianchen, the true biography of Yuehuayuan, or Yin Qiaowen, the son of Star Torch Hall, played the illusion. Except for the uncertainty of this candidate, the other two should be able to draw conclusions.

Don't be nervous, this is a battle of cooking skills, even if they are the pride of the Central Plains monks... No, it is because they are the pride of heaven, so they don't dabble in the way of cooking, they are all pampered characters, why? May we know how to live? "

Although emotionally, the descendants of the superiors are incompetent, and it is a story correct for a hero from a poor background to defeat him and replace him, the story of the hot-blooded boy as the protagonist often describes this promotion.

However, many things do not operate according to the theoretical correctness. The more you understand life, the more you feel that life is far away from absolute correctness. Those who fail to find what they want are correct, and they always bump their heads and bruises in it.

Aunt Wu has lived for many years. She used to have a hot-blooded youth, and occasionally turned back into a teenager, but the long-term practice has completely worn away her youthful feeling.

She quickly calmed down and said: "When presenting the dishes, we will arrange your dishes to be served first, so that the taste of your dishes will raise the expectations of the judges... If the quality of the other party's dishes is enough to break through our plan Everything, then we are willing to bet and admit defeat, but don't take it too seriously, there are two games left.

If we beat the opponent by a big score, then we will be severely punished.The monks in the Central Plains are all benevolent in their mouths, but they are afraid of power and morality in their bones, so they don't mind the victors throwing stones when they are down. "

"Ah."

Zhang Lanying still had time to listen to her teacher's chicken soup for the soul. Gui Tangdong's pressure began to accumulate. He and Tangguo had a good line-up, but found that his teammates were no longer good. Li Qingchuan was better. Later, on the Jackdaw, Gui Tangdong was used to the pressure she gave her occasionally when she was not helpful.

Jiang Xianchen had no experience, so she could only do the simplest work, and for the sake of stability, she moved extremely slowly, which resulted in the processing of the ingredients meeting Gui Tangdong's requirements, but exceeding the redundant time reserved by Gui Tangdong.

Therefore, Gui Tangdong could only implement the second plan. He handed over the responsibility of controlling the fire to his senior sister, and freed up his hands to work with Jiang Xianchen. Playing her like a marionette.

"I'm sorry." Jiang Xianchen whispered.

"It's nothing, it doesn't matter whoever it is, the enemy is aiming at this point to hold a food competition."

Li Qingchuan's eyelids twitched. She saw that her junior brother and Jiang Xianchen's bodies were almost touching each other. In order to exert strength, Gui Tangdong even bent over to press forward.

Maybe it was her heart, she made up some incredible scenes, and then thought of Nan Qingxu who had accepted Gui Tangdong's virginity (at least she thought Gui Tangdong's first time belonged to Nan Qingxu) , After that woman succeeds, will she know how to unlock more scenes and poses, and the kitchen is a very interesting place to live.

But Li Qingchuan himself said that personal matters will be discussed after everyone leaves Wu Xianguo.So, she endured it.

While the contestants were busy cooking, the director in Gucheng divided the scene projected to the audience into four parts: the contestants of the two teams each had a part, and the judges sitting there waiting for all kinds of sharp comments and discussions. One part, and the last part is given to advertisements, and it is a series of bombardments of local delicacies in Wuxian country.

The monks sat cross-legged in the auditorium, or exchanged items, or made friends, and some people had a passionate discussion about next year's Qidi Champions League.During the day, both to prevent the audience from getting bored and to pave the way for public opinion, the director of Gucheng played Wu Xianguo's self-made Qidi Champions League preview program. Wu Luo, Wu Zhen and Wu Gu attended, and the serious discussion finally led to the promotion The real contestants, the possible groups, the top sixteen, the top eight... until the final champion.

On this point, the three wizards have no disagreement, and they all agree that Gui Tangdong will continue to win the championship. This is an era where offense far outweighs defense, and Gui Tangdong, who represents the upper limit of firepower output of Jindan monks, is the son of the version.

However, one extreme situation cannot be ruled out, that is, in the quarter-finals and semi-finals, Gui Tangdong will encounter Shaolin Jun and Dong Baixue consecutively, which will consume Gui Tangdong's spiritual power the most and is second only to Gui Tangdong. If there is no strong player, then Gui Tangdong, who is severely exhausted first and then encounters a strong enemy, can be defeated.

Then, the director inserted a small documentary in a timely manner, playing Gui Tangdong's life events, and splitting the screen to show Gui Tangdong's real-time actions in Boli City... In this way, the originally boring resource collection action attracted the attention of some viewers , because the contrast between the past and the present has enough drama in itself.

In order to pave the way for public opinion, monk Wu Xianguo didn't just say good things about Guitangdong. Wu Luo intentionally or unintentionally mentioned what he knew about Guitangdong's three experiences in southern Xinjiang, especially the ongoing Once, Shushi Kingdom was overthrown, and Gui Tangdong played a vital role in it.

The audience came from different countries in southern Xinjiang, and they were usually noisy, but when it came to the interference of righteous monks, they had the same fear and resentment, and these two emotions often made them hysterically hostile.

The public opinion has already been paved, and the wizards are waiting for their own victory and Gui Tangdong's defeat. They even said that if the first game of the final is crushed by their own side, then Wu Luo does not need to wait for the results of the next two games. If Gui Tangdong's identity is revealed, and a supporting chain of evidence is presented, implying that he is engaged in the work of subverting Wu Xianguo, then the handwriting already buried in public opinion will instantly turn into a bomb.

In addition, Xia Qifeng secretly contacted Wu Xianguo, and she tried to let them know that the Eight Great Martial Arts will not allow Fangguo in southern Xinjiang to humiliate the dignity of orthodox monks, but they are currently ranked first among young monks, and they are farther and farther away from No.2 Gui Tangdong suffered a loss in southern Xinjiang, but many people liked it.

Therefore, if Wu Xianguo caused a diplomatic incident, they would definitely not face retaliatory actions launched by the united orthodox monks. On the contrary, they might help Wu Xianguo and contain Yangyan Mansion.

The aid from the Central Plains sect and the prestige harvested in southern Xinjiang are all needed by Wu Xianguo, and the price is that they will offend Guitangdong, and will Guitangdong come back to take revenge after establishing a firm foundation?

To be missed by a genius monk is undoubtedly disturbing, so Xia Qifeng gave some other hints, that is, if Wu Xianguo finds signs of extraordinary things happening around the east of Guitang, please remain ignorant and neutral.

In addition, Moxiu also gave limited guarantees. At least for now, these powerful people who have become arrogant due to power and stereotypes have not discovered the real plan of the wizards, and the wizards who think they are secretive can't think of it. The power of common sense lurks in their kingdom, and the wizards watch the banquet taking place in Boli City, and the new gods also regard Wuxian Kingdom as a table dish.

When Guitang East was cooking the second course, "Nan Qingxu" and Yun Xiaojing had already mixed into its capital, Mount Dengbao. The city was built on the mountain, and the lower floor was the residence of the servants who served the great wizard Wu Xian. , the middle floor is the training place for wizards who graduated from Gucheng, and the upper floor is the only first-level wizard in Wuxian Kingdom, and the residence of Wuxian who has the strength close to the righteous way of becoming a monk.

Wuxian's cave (also known as the Great Temple of All Names in the terms of wizards) is full of salt crystals. In the opaque pure white "ocean", a dark mountain road leading to the top of Dengbao Mountain is laid out in the salt crystals. Wu Xian sits on the mountain road. He has a white-haired boyish face and is dressed in red. In front of him, seven 7-year-old monks surround a 70-foot (7-meter) high altar. The sacrificial flag of the red-haired demon god is equipped with 1.6 crossbows.

When the two uninvited guests walked up the steps, seven crossbows aimed at the steps in front of them and fired. Each crossbow fired seven times, and a total of seven arrows landed in front of "Nan Qingxu" and Yun Xiaojing. , There are 7 lines of inscriptions on each crossbow bolt, and each line of inscriptions is composed of 7 characters.

As a result, the seven barriers were activated by the resonance of the crossbow bolts, covering them instantly.

Chapter 72 Banquet 4

When cultivators of Transforming Spirits no longer pursue ascension, but seek compensation from life, they are undoubtedly the beasts with the deepest desires in the cultivation world.

"Nan Qingxu" has a burning desire. She not only wants to protect the lives of the three of them, Guitangdong and Li Qingchuan, but also turns her greedy eyes to Mount Dengbao, where the most precious ancient books in Wuxian Kingdom are stored, so She left the four Rishengdu monks in Gucheng, and dragged Yun Xiaojing to Dengbao Mountain by herself.

Yun Xiaojing thought that "Nan Qingxu" must have some excellent sneaking skills, but "Nan Qingxu" chose to climb the mountain directly, and the local owner actually let the two of them come to the mountain, and did not release the weird formation until recently .

"Wow, what a weird formation, it is different in principle from the formations I have seen and understood."

Yun Xiaojing knocked on the inner edge of the seven-fold barrier, and the white torrent sprayed towards her. In front of her eyes, a shield woven with golden silk thread blocked the jet of torrent, imprisoning it in place.

"What is this?" Yun Xiaojing asked.

"The chapter "Yingdi Shrine No.15" in the No.60 volume of "Mozi" records a series of battles carried out by Momen, a top-level Sanxiu sect that was finally annexed and absorbed by Diliangzong. ceremony.

The Mohists are experts in defensive warfare. They first proposed the concept of building a fortress-level city, and believed that defensive warfare can be divided into two parts: the defense of buildings and the defense of people.

As you can see, this wizard is displaying human defenses.In the formation of the Mohists, different ceremonies need to be held to face the enemy's attack from different directions. We came from the south, and they attacked us with the formation to meet the enemy from the south. "

"attack?"

"Nan Qingxu" explained: "Attack is the best defense, but this formation will not attack us directly, but counterattack and cut off the spiritual energy supply in our area... The spiritual power of the ground veins comes from itself. Flowing upwards and downwards, he intercepts the flow upstream, and artificially creates an area of ​​thin spiritual energy temporarily downstream."

They talked as if there was no one else around, completely ignoring the people on the mountain. Wu Xian's entourage was furious, and wanted to wipe out the enemies in front of them for the respected king. Wu Xian made a gesture, and his entourage felt unwilling, but returned In the shadows.

At the same time, he explained: "One of them has a weak body, but there is a terrifying shadow around him, and the other... reveals an abnormality in principle, and that is not something you can relate to."

"Prohibition, yes." "Nan Qingxu" commented arrogantly, "If you can do this in southern Xinjiang, you are already at an excellent level."

"If you compare us to the same level as other alien races, then you will let me down instead."

Wu Xian's voice came from all directions of the barrier: "You two, what's the matter?"

"I want to climb to the top of Dengbao Mountain. According to the legend of the wizard, there is the closest distance between human beings and gods."

"The gods have gone away, the top of the mountain is a dark night, and climbing to the top has become meaningless."

"That's not necessarily true, maybe I can find some inspiration on it." "Nan Qingxu" said.

"Don't you orthodox monks have your own way of ascension?" Wu Xian asked.

"It just so happens that I don't intend to seek the soaring of common sense, but plan to embark on other paths. The ancient books or the Xuanji map you have collected on the top of the mountain may give me some inspiration."

"Is this a threat?"

"No, this is a deal. I will exchange something you can't refuse in exchange for your collection and your effectiveness."

Wu Xian frowned, watching "Nan Qingxu" push Yun Xiaojing out, he just felt that Yun Xiaojing was unreasonable at first, but when Yun Xiaojing passed through the seven barriers in a form that violated common sense in reality, and reappeared in front of him When splicing, his fingers couldn't help shaking.

And when Yun Xiaojing showed Wu Xian's new witchcraft that he had never seen before, sweat ran down his forehead after 56 years. It was surprise, fear, and trembling. Witchcraft is the wisdom of God left by the gods. From ancient times to modern times, wizards have been committed to inheriting the wisdom of gods.

Therefore, the knowledge framework of wizards about the power of the body has not changed over the years, because no mortals can match the wisdom of gods to create new knowledge, and in the inheritance from generation to generation, wizards' understanding of the wisdom of gods has gradually receded. As for the current first-level wizard, Wu Xian, he was only a cultivator in the realm of transforming gods close to the standard of righteousness.

As for the monks... In the eyes of the wizards, they are rebels who have gone astray. The monks seem to have power and can use the knowledge in their hands to derive new knowledge, but their goals and the innovation they pursue are like attics in the sky. It's a sad joke.

But in front of him, through the hands of Yun Xiaojing, new knowledge is being created in a solid manner, and only those who can create knowledge are people who are on par with gods.

"The authority, knowledge, power, inheritance and culture of wizards all come from the gods...at least you claim so, then the gods are absolutely right for you that you cannot refuse." "Nan Qingxu" said.

"No, what we stick to is the teachings that those eight people left us!"

"I respect these eight human enlighteners, but there are indications that they have not returned. Moreover, you don't seem to have fanatical beliefs in gods like the Taixi people. Even if I don't do anything, you probably will. Think of a way to fill the void left by the gods.

You stir up the situation in southern Xinjiang and act as pushers. Based on my personal interests, I have no objection.I should be the one who understands you the most among the monks. My colleagues treat you with far more arrogance and indifference than I do. Of course you can refuse, but you must carefully consider the price of rejection. "

When the time came, Gui Tangdong served on the plate, Li Qingchuan decorated it, and Jiang Xianchen gave the four dishes the special effects they deserved.Gui Tangdong looked up at Zhang Lanying, and found that she was also looking at her side, and her teammates put the dishes in the food box and were ready to finish.

"Submit it quickly."

Luo Youzi couldn't wait. According to the order, Zhang Lanying came forward with a food box in her hand. She opened the food box, and there were cherry-colored snacks decorated with emerald green leaves, like a flower blooming.

Luo Youzi shook his head: "Sakura cake... Although it is indeed a food that fits the taste of spring, I have eaten a lot of it, let me see what expectations you can bring me."

She picked up the cherry cake, took a bite with an elegant gesture, and rolled her eyes at her half-demon guard. The guards knew all about her daughter's usual virtues, but if Luo Youzi pretended to be obedient, she could deceive strangers .

"Hey, this is..."

Luo Youzi took a bite and looked at its filling: "Is it meat?"

Zhang Lanying glanced at the prepared manuscript and replied: "That's right, this is a perch caught from the Lake of Fog. It is taken out whole and strengthened with spiritual power to serve as the dough, while the filling comes from the aquatic products of the lake in the mountain. Kill the wine to remove the fishy smell, then add the jam mixed with flower petals to taste, and seal the edge of the cherry cake with the paste."

"Although it's meaty, it tastes like stuffed bean paste."

"Just like fish-flavored shredded pork, a specific combination of condiments and a specific spiritual power can make the meat filling exude the taste of bean paste. Here, there is also a glass of green plum wine to accompany the meal. The slightly sour wine is enough to dispel the sweetness in your mouth. It tastes greasy."

Gui Tangdong knew it was not good when he saw this scene. Zhang Lanying's table wine was naturally the green plum distilled wine specially provided by monks. her palate.

The senior sister and Jiang Xianchen worked hard and tried their best in the areas they were not good at. It seemed too cruel to tell them that they were destined to score lower than the other party before they presented the dessert.

Therefore, Gui Tangdong pretended not to know anything, confidently served the dish, and put the lid on it in a serious manner.

He put the dinner plate on the table, opened it, and the illusion inside was released, Luo Youzi suddenly sat on the lush green grass, the warm spring breeze blew, and the petals on the branches fell one after another, following the direction of the falling petals, She saw the leaves woven into the shape of dinner plates, the sticks cut into branches, and the petal-like pastries pressed on the branches. When she touched them, the icing on the surface of the pastries fell like catkins.

She put the pastry into her mouth, and her expectant expression slowly returned to calm.With a sigh in Gui Tangdong's heart, he knew that the matter would not be resolved.

"The two desserts are very good at capturing my preferences, and they are made around the theme of spring. The Bingdaoyou team is more creative, and the Zhangdaoyou team's taste is better. 8 points, and Zhang Daoyou team I give 9 points."

Gui Tangdong thought his score would be lower, but it was a surprise that he was only one point less than the opponent. Luo Youzi added: "I don't like the practice of using the first-mover advantage to suppress the opponent, but my sense of taste is still quite good. Sensitive, because there are not many other things in Boli City. Banquets must be indispensable.

I only deducted two points for that fudge because I tasted the creator's intentions from it... Just kidding, it's just that when I observe you, I know that this fudge is not for me, but for you, fellow Taoist. Made it for the whip-wielding teammate.

This is not allowed, now it is a food competition, you have to please the judges as your girlfriend, instead of pleasing the judges with the way of pleasing your girlfriend, otherwise, the food full of love for others will make my mouth sour. "

Luo Youzi crossed his fingers in front of his lips, Gui Tangdong couldn't help but laugh, but he had no choice but to accept the result.

Jiang Huafan and Tang Meixiao have similar tastes and preferences, so both teams choose to serve the same dish to the two judges and accept their scores at the same time.

Zhang Lanying is still the priority. She first placed two dinner plates in front of the two judges, and then opened them at the same time. The two streams of water spurted on the dinner plates, met and merged in the air, and formed an arch bridge-shaped water flow, which was also like an arch.

In the water flow, two fishes dressed in rosy clouds went upstream and crossed the arch to exchange places. When they fell into the dinner plate, the water flow fell and mixed with the seasoning spit out from the fish mouth, turning into soup.

Hua Fan commented with a strange accent: "Oh, 'Yuelongmen', this is a famous dish in the Central Plains. It is rumored that the most skilled chef can turn the soup into colorless and transparent, and the carp that has been processed or Tuna swims in the hot soup unaware, even if the meat is removed by diners, it is still unaware.

The key to this dish is to keep the fish in a superimposed state that is neither alive nor dead, so as to process the ingredients to the greatest extent while maintaining the freshness of the fish... However, it seems that you have not achieved this level ah. "

Hua Shan was only talking about keeping the living beings in a state of neither death nor life, something that can only be done by a monk in the Nascent Soul Realm who has cultivated an extremely remote method and whose realm has reached the standard of righteousness. She will not make things difficult for this standard The contestants in front of her were just showing off their knowledge, so that people would be convinced of her as a gourmet writer.

Hua Fan picked up a piece of meat. Surprisingly, the fish on the dinner plate came alive again. No matter at the scene or watching the audience on the screen, the audience exclaimed. Could it be that Zhang Lanying's cooking skills have reached such a level?

"Oh, you did a clever job."

Mei Xiao was the first to discover the secret: "These colored clothes woven with vegetables and seasonings on the fish are not only for looks, it is actually a temporary magic weapon, which can make a fish swing like a real fish. magic weapon."

Zhang Lanying nodded: "The spiritual power that drives the colored clothes comes from fish eyes. I inject edible pearls into the spiritual power, and then micro-carve array patterns on the surface of the descaled fish, so that the spiritual power can be guided into the colored clothes along the lines to activate the colorful clothes." Clothes, external force activates the body of the fish."

"The idea is good, but the key to 'Yuelongmen' is the taste."

Jiang Huashan put the fish into the chopsticks and chewed carefully. She closed her eyes first, then opened them suddenly, staring like copper bells, as if she had experienced a battle where she had died seven times.

"I have tasted it. The taste of this meat is not like fish. Yes, Zhang Daoyou, you have grasped the essence of this dish. 'Yuelongmen' is to sublimate the taste of fish used in the ingredients so that it becomes Dragon meat."

"Dragon meat, carp turned into dragon meat?" Li Qingchuan was in disbelief, "I seriously suspect that either the judges are paid to act, or she added drugs."

"At least it's not an illusion," Jiang Xianchen said, "Since her team can carve formations on the surface of fish, they can also carve formations into the fish's body, bone marrow, and internal organs, and then combine the cooking techniques to carve the formations into the fish. The material and taste are upgraded."

This is the most reasonable explanation. When Hua Shan uses chopsticks to put pieces of fish meat into his mouth, the fish bones are also exposed. As expected, the inside of the fish is also engraved with exercises, and under the action of exercises, the surface of the fish bones is hard , but the inside is filled with transparent jelly.

Hua Fan was not surprised, she took out the fish bone, held down one end with chopsticks and squeezed, the black and white twin dragons squeezed out from the fish spine, turned into a ball of dragon-shaped jelly and placed on on the dinner plate.

The two judges ate half of the fish meat, while the isinglass was eaten clean. Their expressions were full of admiration. Tang Meixiao said: "It's quite a perfect work. I feel like my life has begun again."

"Yes, Zhang Daoyou's Yuelongmen is almost perfect. The only drawback is that Yuelongmen is not a sweet and salty dish. Even if you cook it in this direction, it will feel superfluous and make the dish not beautiful."
