His eyes fell on the jade-inlaid wooden boxes stacked high in front of the stage, "It really is a 'Zhiwei Box'!" I was even more certain in my heart that this was definitely the Lingcook Food Fair.In the jade slips introduced, this "knowledge box" is mentioned many times. Because the ingredients for spiritual cooking are rare in a thousand years, those who are lucky get it by chance, but the bosom friend who can recognize the taste after making delicious food is not here , I want to keep the taste of the dishes for my friends.

For this obsession, Lingchuang entrusted "Yaoxiangu", "Shenniang", "Jiudingmen", "Qingdanmen" and "Qimeizhuang" which are famous for their knowledge of plants and trees, to find suitable materials, and finally found one. A kind of spiritual wood that can not lose the taste of food is called "Shuoweimu".Also invited "Zhanjimen", "Qiduzong" and "Zhengyi" of the magic circle to make it into a mustard food box. This batch of food boxes is called "Zhiwei Box".It is used to preserve the top masterpieces in the sect, or serve as a teacher or a confidant.

There is a good story in this box, that is, You Lao Liu Liu, who is called "Niao Mo" by the elder of Shenniang, is a close friend with Weigui, who is known as "weigui" in Lingcooking sect.Weigui got Huo Fengsui by chance once, made two small dishes and told You Lao Liu to get together, who knew that You Lao Liu went to the prefecture-level world to search for wine-making materials, and hadn't returned after traveling for more than a hundred years.

At that time, Wei Gui was also practicing at a critical point, the fire phoenix marrow was beneficial to him, but before his old friend came back, he went to the Zongmen to get a Zhiwei box and locked up the dishes.After more than a hundred years, You Lao Liu came back, but because Weigui had a mistake when hitting the bottleneck, his meridians reversed and he was left with only a breath of energy.Seeing his friend in such a situation and learning about Huo Fengsui, the sixth You was very sad.So he took the "Zunlong Niang" brewed in the prefecture-level world, and ate and drank the two plates of side dishes together with Weigui.Unexpectedly, the dragon and the phoenix fought against each other, and instead helped Weigui break through the bottleneck and straighten out the meridians.In this way, this taste box has become more famous.

Li Wan was not polite at the moment, and took out the flavor boxes, one table for each box, and took away all the noodles on the round table.The place is too empty, so I don't feel safe leaving it like this, so I asked Ah Tudu to take it and put it in the glass cabinet in the mustard house.This person is indifferent and numb when he doesn't treat it as his own, but once he treats it as his own, he becomes cautious and greedy.

Start to look at the surrounding high platforms one by one.She wondered: "Why is there no fire?" She looked around, but there was no one using Lihuo array, she was puzzled.But she didn't know that all the ingredients that could go to the Spiritual Cooking Club were rare ingredients, and whoever would use the fire to cook them would use real fire of course.

Besides, this is a food gathering in the spirit world. The real fire of high-level monks is transformed by spiritual energy. It can be used to refine alchemy and equipment to improve the quality of the product, and it can be used for cooking to control the firepower to the subtle point. How can this be fire? Can array or ground fire compare?Finding no fire will not delay her research on kitchen utensils. A steamer as small as a fist, a machete as big as a door panel, and pots of various colors of pottery, jade, and porcelain stones are really eye-opening.

Regardless of other things, Li Wan was the first to feel that the scattered ingredients here and there were really inappropriately arranged. It would be best if they could be grouped and classified so that they could be easily found.looking for?Yes, is it possible to pile up such a waste of money?Naturally, you have to try cooking yourself.There are no aristocratic wives who don't know how to adjust the tripod, and the royal daughter-in-law must be able to cook two dishes by herself.

Put all the five-element puppets in, first order them to empty the fan-shaped area on the east side, put kitchen utensils such as stoves, knives, etc. Class ingredients.

Withdrawing his consciousness, he calmed down a little, and then he also thought about entering the library.Seeing that Atu and the others were busy, they didn't talk nonsense, turned into the inner corridor, and first looked for the Lingchuang sect's classics.Probably because of the practice of Lingchuang Sect, Li Wan has never been so enthusiastic about any family's exercises because of the fireworks in the world recently.

In the first room at the north end, I saw a wooden plaque hanging beside the ancient wooden door, with gold characters on a brown background, which was the word "Jingku".It is indeed a gluttonous library, and even the place where the classics are collected is called a "library".Looking inside, it is different from the elevated cabinets in other warehouses. In this room, there are neatly arranged square tables and wooden stools. There is a round turntable in the center of each table, and a rice-shaped shelf stands on the table. Jade slips were densely hung on the shelf, and when the turntable was turned, the shelf would also rotate accordingly. It was very convenient to choose jade slips.Li Wan recalled that there were mortal disciples in Lingchuang Sect, and thought that these ingenious designs were made for the convenience of those who don't know magic.Li Wan swept over with his spiritual sense, selected a few jade slips, put them in the ring and came out.

The rest of the storerooms didn't go to check carefully, it was just seeing fresh fish and meat in that shape, afraid that the entire monster beasts collected in some room, didn't they want to scare themselves to death?So forget it, one of the jade slips I took just now is about the treasury, I will make a decision after reading it.

Turning back to the hall, it was too vast, and the five puppets were like ants carrying food in it, and they couldn't see anything for a while.Remembering that I came here to find a box at the beginning, I took a closer look. There happened to be two large wooden boxes on the table behind a high platform. The rice grains of Zhuzhu are only one-third the size of the common rice outside.

This is the long-known "Fenzhumi". It is said that the shape of this Lingmi is like a covered persimmon. There is a thin golden line around the waist of the fruit. When you break it along the line, the inside of the fruit is the Fenzhumi.This rice is very fragrant and soft, and it is often used to make snacks. The last time I ate "Sea Banquet Pills", there was a "Green Wild Rice Noodle Roll", which has the taste of this rice.If I want to use this box, where should I put the rice?Li Wan turned around and found two cloth bags from under the high platform, put the powdered pearl rice in the bags, and put them into the Xiezhi ring together with the two empty boxes.

I haven't rested since I came in, and I'm really tired now.The spirit stones on the five puppets were all newly installed, and they should be able to last for a while. Li Wan saw what they were doing and saw no deviation, so he came out relieved.He took out the box first, and blew it suspiciously. It sounds like it’s easy to drop scum—this bumpkin!Another box was filled with gold leaves, the other box was filled with gold cakes, and hundreds of golden melon seeds were packed in the same wooden box that had been used to hold fragrant fruits, and all of them were put into the ring.Clapping his hands and stretching his waist, he finally settled the matter.

I went upstairs to wash it casually, changed into water-colored pajamas, took a moon-white embroidered quilt and a jade-white soft pillow from the low cabinet in the dressing room, and poured them on the white jade bed.The bed is covered with a cream velvet mattress, and when I lie down, I can only feel a gentle and lively warmth coming from under my body. The soft pillows are filled with Qingxin grass and Mengtian flowers, and the pajamas and embroidered quilts are made of silk moon material. As soon as he fell asleep, Li Wan regretted that he had been sleeping on the outer couch.

The three doors are closed tightly, the room is dark, only the faint halo of a few moonstones, the dark green wood machine next to the bed has a natural charm, warming the soul.Li Wan only felt that his soul was immersed in the warm spiritual spring, and the spiritual light flowing in the meridians of his body echoed the flashing golden light on his soul. Joy, worry, fear, and fear were like light snow falling on a quiet lake, and there was nothing left between heaven and earth. There was peace.

A vast starry sky appeared on the roof of the room, and as their respective trajectories changed and moved, faint stardust fell and gradually converged between Li Wan's eyebrows.The halo between the eyebrows rotates, and a golden light flows from the eyebrows into a pool of ocean in the Baihui acupoint. After a moment of stillness, another golden light comes out from the Baihui acupoint, and goes straight into the jade pillow at the back of the head. The three halos slow down according to their respective rhythms. Turning slowly, the falling stardust is incorporated into it.

As soon as Li Wan woke up, he reached out to touch the jade bed under the mattress, "It's really warm!" The words "Ten thousand years of warm jade" came to mind, no wonder when he lay down, he felt that there was always a gentle spiritual power nourishing his body. Nian Wenyu, such a big piece, tsk tsk, what a luxury.Li Wan got up to wash, changed his clothes and went to sit on the couch in the open room.Drinking the warm spiritual spring in the warm jade cup, he took out another spiritual fruit to eat, squinted his eyes and thought about it carefully, then took out the jade slip of Lingchuangzong to look at it.

First, read the "Synopsis of the Library", Amitabha, it turns out that all the materials collected in the library and warehouse are packed properly, and there will be no whole jackals, tigers and leopards.Except for those suitable for overall cooking, such as some poultry, aquatic products and the like.On the contrary, in the warehouses marked with miscellaneous items at the far end, there will be some roughly processed monster furs, which are obtained when packing up the ingredients, and stored in one place, and when they are full, the specialized disciples will sort them out and tidy them up. , or used to refine weapons, or make clothes, and sometimes sold to merchants outside the door.

Li Wan was sure that there was no whole monster corpse there, so he put the jade slip aside, and took another one called "The Book of Food" to read.The opening chapter is "Heaven and earth are the thieves of all things; all things are the thieves of man; man is the thieves of all things. The three thieves are suitable, and the three talents are safe. Therefore, it is said: Eat at the right time, all bones will be ruled; use its machine, all will be safe. "Heaven eats people with the five qi, and the earth eats people with the five flavors. The five qi enter the nose and store them in the heart and lungs, making the five colors bright and the sound clear; the five flavors enter the mouth and store them in the stomach. The taste is hidden to nourish the five Qi, Qi and Qi are harmonious, and body fluids are formed together, and the spirit is self-generated."

In the general discussion, it is said that human beings respond to the heaven and the earth to form the universe, Tai Chi and the two rituals, and the four phenomena and five elements are all in harmony with the Tao.In the world, all those who are not out of the five elements have a fixed shape, and those who have a fixed shape must be biased. Taking the world and all things to make up for the damage of the fixed shape is to use self-generation to respond to nature, so it can strengthen the body and prolong life.Transforming all things with the five elements, harmonizing the human universe with the five flavors, this is the method of seeing the big from the small, and seeing the nature of heaven and nature with a drink and a peck.Li Wan knew in his heart, "This is the so-called 'taste into Tao'."

Then there are the principles of taste, five elements, five flavors, five natures, five viscera, six fu organs, five sounds and five aspirations, and so on; then there is the food habit, which is the classification of the nature and flavor of the ingredients. This trip is very similar to the classification of medicinal properties, but the ingredients are cooked in different ways. , but the food habits that appear again are quite different, which is really insightful.

The concept in the previous chapter is basic, and it is only when we finally talk about Lingcooking that we realize how important the previous content is.Because when it comes to a dish later, not only the nature of the ingredients needs to be considered, but also the local atmosphere, season, eater’s temperament, and the nature of other ingredients during the banquet, etc. need to be considered carefully, and then the cooking method, auxiliary material compatibility, seasoning, and cooking utensils should be selected accordingly. Even serving vessels.Therefore, it is said in the book that restaurants are sold under the banner of Lingcooking Sect. At most, they can only consider the nature of ingredients and the season of the earth, while other details are not for business. "He also said, "Most of the world's laws are like this. If you have to be determined and forbearable to enter the Tao, the rest will hustle and bustle."

When Li Wan first watched the restaurant, he really felt aggrieved by the gourmets who were waiting for a seat, but after looking at the back, he had to admit that was the reason.Just like any profession in the world, those who can get the true taste of it say that one in a thousand is overestimated. Most of them are muddleheaded, neither knowing why they are here nor investigating why they are here. .

I took the jade slips away to see Ah Tu and the others, and I just packed up a corner of the Eastern District.Li Wan felt a little anxious after reading the Sutra, so he walked around among the high platforms, trying to find some ingredients to take out, but unfortunately he didn't recognize many.There is a box of mussels the size of a cup; several pairs of smoked prawns; a small bag of dried meat of "Firetail Rock Chicken"; and a small basket of "Clear Water Vegetables".As for the raw meat, Li Wan really didn't dare to take it and put it in the ring.Sure enough, he was still a mortal.After leaving Atu and the others to continue working, he left the Pearl Realm.
