The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 162 [Gastrodia elata stewed with pigeon]

After Qin Huai left his memory, the first person he saw was Luo Jun, who was sitting at the dining table, eating a fruit absentmindedly.

Qin Huai looked at Luo Jun.

Not buddy.

you this……

What I just saw...

You guys...

That newspaper...

What qualifications do you have to call others monsters?
After Qin Huai wanted to say something for the Nth time, he chose not to speak and opened the game panel to check the newly acquired recipes.

【Gastrodia elata stewed pigeon E grade】

Producer: Liu Tao
Dish details: A wife's all-out effort to help her husband improve his eyesight and soothe his nerves, as well as nourish and strengthen his spleen through food supplements. Since Luo Jun and Liu Tao moved to Shan City, they have lost contact with the famous chef Jiang Weiming in Shu. Liu Tao took the recipe of apple noodles and searched for local chefs, but no one could make it to Luo Jun's liking. In order to protect her husband's eyes, Liu Tao took a different approach and chose the less difficult method of stewing pigeons with gastrodia elata, and made soup every day. However, due to her poor cooking skills, only the soup of the whole dish was barely edible. This dish is extremely special, full of a wife's full dedication, humble and forbearing love for her husband. After eating it, there is a certain chance of improving eyesight and soothing the nerves in a short period of time. (The higher the level of the dish, the greater the chance)
Number of times you can make it in one day: (0/999)

It is actually a food tonic, and the buff of the dish is also a real food tonic buff.

Qin Huai closed the game panel, looked up at Luo Jun and Chen Huihong who were sitting opposite him, and thought in his mind how to open his mouth so that he would appear to be somewhat aggressive, but not too aggressive.

There is some quality, but not much.

It would be best if you could have a little emotional intelligence, but it’s not enough.

Qin Huai was still thinking when Luo Jun spoke first.

"What did you see?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, I've seen everything I should and shouldn't have seen," Qin Huai said.

Luo Jun was silent again.

Chen Huihong was like a badger in a melon field. She looked at Qin Huai and then at Luo Jun. She was obviously very curious about what the memory was, which made it difficult for Qin Huai to speak.

"Chen Huihong, I remember that your family has stockpiled a lot of laundry detergent. I'm out of it. Can you go home and get me two bottles?" Luo Jun said.

Chen Huihong understood. Well, there was something he wanted to say but he didn't want her to hear it. He was discriminating against her as a goblin who had never seen memories.

Forget it, if you are not allowed to listen, then don’t listen. Anyway, you will know the part that you are allowed to listen to sooner or later.

Chen Huihong stood up, took a fruit from the plate, and left.

Luo Jun and Qin Huai were the only ones left in the room.

Luo Jun looked at Qin Huai with an expression that seemed like a smile.

If it was before, Qin Huai would definitely think that Luo Jun was mocking the people around him by showing this expression.

But now, Qin Huai felt that Luo Jun was most likely mocking him.

"Do you really want to slap me?" Luo Jun asked.

Qin Huai: “… a little bit.”

"Do you know why I always like to say that Chen Huihong is a confused plant spirit?"

Qin Huai said nothing and just looked at Luo Jun quietly.

"Compared to the plant spirits, Bifang is indeed very powerful. Not to mention here, even in the spirit world, Bifang has little chance of rivaling. Our lives are long and boundless, and thousands of years are just a drop in the ocean. Even for the most difficult tribulation for every spirit, we have detailed strategies and tutorials."

"I never took the tribulation seriously. I thought I had already roughly learned the rules of the human world before the tribulation. When I first came to the human world, I found that this world seemed a little different from the tutorials I watched before. I spent some time learning some new things, and found that whether it was guns or bows and arrows, there was not much difference to me. On the contrary, there were many new fun things, so I didn't care anymore."

"I put on the appearance of a rich young man who studied abroad, because this way I can learn less. I don't have to learn how to use chopsticks, I can pretend not to understand other people's polite words, I can do whatever I want without any scruples, I can play around in the world to my heart's content while waiting for the tribulation to end."

Luo Jun took a small bite of the fruit and said, "I look down on people, machines, weapons, the laws of the world, and even the spirits I occasionally encounter. Sometimes when I see those weak spirits tremblingly pretending to be humans and blending into the crowd, I look down on them from the bottom of my heart."

"At that time, I simply didn't understand, and didn't want to understand, why a plant spirit like Chen Huihong needed to enter the world and survive the tribulation without knowing what was going on. Nothing was taught, nothing was learned, coming inexplicably, living in fear, and leaving in a daze. What was the point of just going through the tribulation in this way?"

"Now I understand that this might be to prevent situations like mine."

"I always say that plant spirits are fools, but in fact I am the biggest fool. I have lived in the human world for so many years, watched so many novels, so many movies, and so many dramas, and I thought I knew all the rules of the human world, but I don't even understand the most basic rules of life and death."

“I look down on everything from a high position, not realizing that I am the most ridiculous person.”

"In fact, I am not as good as Chen Huihong. Although she didn't know until her death that she had failed in her first life, she at least dared to mention it and face her failure."

"Unlike me, I can hardly even remember what Liu Tao looks like."

Qin Huai really didn't know what to say.

Luo Jun's situation is different from Chen Huihong's. Chen Huihong has reached the last time to forget everything. What she needs to do is to remember that in her first life, she didn't realize that she had failed to pass the tribulation until she died.

Therefore, after reading Chen Huihong’s last dream, the dish prompt of longevity noodles would be to ask Qin Huai to make a bowl of longevity noodles for Chen Huihong.

But Luo Jun is only in his first life now, and he knows clearly the reason why he failed to survive the tribulation. Perhaps it’s not that he can’t succeed, but that he doesn’t want to succeed.

What Luo Jun needs is forgetfulness.

He was waiting for death in an absolutely sober state, taking responsibility for his arrogance.

Qin Huai didn't even know how to evaluate what Luo Jun did. He was like a child with great abilities who made mistakes without knowing it. By the time he really faced the consequences of his mistakes, it was already too late.

"You are too arrogant." Qin Huai could only say this.

Luo Jun nodded: "Yes, I am too arrogant."

"So I told you not to waste time on my memory. I have been waiting to die here for 60 years. You just need to wait for me to die and inherit my legacy."

Qin Huai could only sigh, he knew that Luo Jun was right.

"Remember there were a lot of yellow butterflies in my collection room?" Luo Jun asked.

Qin Huai nodded.

"Sometimes I really hate people like you who have a system and are so rude that they can read other people's memories." Luo Jun took a bite of the fruit unhappily, "It makes it impossible for me to escape from reality."

"On my first day in the human world, I watched Liu Tao perform Liang Zhu on a stage in the countryside."

"The costumes of their troupe were simple and the scenery was crude, but they were innovative. During the last scene of the butterfly transformation, the troupe leader Liu would hide behind the scenes and secretly release two yellow butterflies."

“One of the butterflies landed on my hand, and I’ve loved this story ever since.”

"Even though I later learned that the dead cannot be resurrected and lovers cannot turn into butterflies like in the story of Liang Zhu, I still have a glimmer of hope in my heart. I think that as long as I can stay by Liu Tao's grave, one day another yellow butterfly will land on the back of my hand, even if that butterfly is not Liu Tao."

"But in the 60 years since then, not a single yellow butterfly has ever lingered for me."

"I used to have many yellow butterfly specimens in my showroom. I was kidding myself. If there were no yellow butterflies to stay for me, I would put more specimens in the showroom."

"But after you finished reading the first memory and asked an artist to draw a portrait of Liu Tao, I realized that I couldn't remember what Liu Tao looked like." "No matter how many yellow butterfly specimens there are in the showroom, I can't meet the one I want to meet. The dead cannot be resurrected, there are no two exactly the same people in the world, and people will not be reincarnated. When I said this to Chen Huihong, I felt very confident, but I still had a glimmer of fantasy and luck in my heart."

Qin Huai said: "So you replaced all the specimens in the exhibition room."

"They've all been changed." Luo Jun said, "It's meaningless."

Qin Huai thought for a moment and asked, "I know it may be a bit presumptuous to ask this, but... where is Liu Tao buried now..."

Luo Jun pointed outside the window.

Qin Huai:?
"Right there."

Even in the direction that Luo Jun pointed, Qin Huai saw the greenery outside. He was very familiar with that area of ​​greenery because he and Luo Jun had sat there and chatted. It was the area with the most lush vegetation.

Qin Huai's eyes widened in surprise.

"You can't believe it, right? Over 60 years have passed and the world has changed so much. I never thought that the place with beautiful scenery and clear water that I found back then would be so expensive now."

"So..." Qin Huai felt that his voice was a little ethereal because of shock, "The reason why you participated in the development of this community... was because Liu Tao was buried here, so you were fully responsible for the design of the community's greening?!"

"That's right." Luo Jun nodded.

Qin Huai wanted to say something else when Chen Huihong knocked on the door.

"I've got the laundry detergent. Can you come in now? If not, I'll go get two more bottles." Chen Huihong shouted outside the door.

Luo Jun stood up speechlessly and went to open the door for Chen Huihong: "Zhang Shumei knew that I asked her to go out and buy spider plants, but she didn't need to buy them. How did you really take the laundry detergent?"

Chen Huihong came in with two bottles of laundry detergent and said as if it was a matter of course, "Because I do have a lot at home, and I'm just worried about how to use it. It's all my brother's fault. He had an event where you could get free laundry detergent for paying property fees, but he bought too much and couldn't bear to give it to the company employees, so he gave it all to me. I don't run a laundry shop, so why would I need so much laundry detergent?"

Chen Huihong skillfully picked up a banana from the fruit plate on the table and began to peel it: "Have you finished talking? How was it? Is there anything you can tell me?"

Qin Huai thought for two seconds and said, "We all agree that it is impossible to succeed in overcoming the tribulation this time. I will be the heir to his entire estate."

"Wow." Chen Huihong had already eaten half of the banana. "Not bad. Do you have any requirements for the cemetery? Do you want us to arrange it in advance?"

Luo Jun: ...

Luo Jun roughly recounted what he wanted to say.

After listening to this, Chen Huihong gave a fair evaluation: "You deserve it more than I do."

"You Bifangs are not much stronger than us plant spirits."

"I am at least trying to learn how to be a good person, but you have never learned anything from the beginning to the end."

"If you were a plant spirit, you would have been burned to death long ago."

In this round, the plant and wood monsters won a great victory.

After passionately complaining about Luo Jun, Chen Huihong asked Qin Huai: "Xiao Qin, you haven't told me yet, what recipe did you get this time?"

Qin Huai then remembered that they had been chatting for so long but had never told the two of them the recipe. He opened the game panel and read out the details of the dish. Chen Huihong's eyes lit up as he listened.

"This dish is great. It brightens the eyes and calms the mind. It's perfect for Huihui. You don't know how much homework primary school students have nowadays. They have to read books every day. Can their eyes bear it? Sometimes they have to look at tablets. More than half of the children in her class are nearsighted. I have been worried about Huihui's eyes for a long time."

"It's better to do it now than to wait for a better day. Xiao Qin, you will go to Gusu again tomorrow. So, make two bowls of it first while there is still time. I will try it and take the remaining one back to Huihui."

Chen Huihong has already taken out her mobile phone and is about to order two servings of ingredients for stewing pigeon with Gastrodia elata on the grocery shopping app.

Qin Huai turned his gaze to Luo Jun, obviously wanting to ask him if he wanted one.

Luo Jun hesitated for a moment, did not nod, took out his cell phone and called Zhang Shumei.

"Hey, Xiao Zhang, you don't need to buy the spider plants. Go to the market and buy three pigeons and some Gastrodia elata. Stew the pigeons with the Gastrodia elata. You can buy the rest. You don't have to stew them. Yes, Master Qin will stew them."

"Zhang Shumei will be back in 15 minutes." Luo Jun said.

Fifteen minutes later, Zhang Shumei brought back three live pigeons.

Qin Huai was stunned. He didn't have that level. To be honest, he had never even seen a dead pigeon, let alone a live one. He was just an ordinary plain-case chef, and his knife skills were still elementary, and elementary was the lower limit of the game board, not his.

He usually doesn't even chop the meat or kill a chicken.

How do you kill a pigeon? How do you pluck its feathers? Is it too late to call Huang Jia now?

When Qin Huai was at a loss, the gold medal nanny Zhang Shumei immediately saw Qin Huai's dilemma and realized that she had made a mistake. She didn't expect that Master Qin couldn't even handle pigeons. So she took the initiative to volunteer, carrying three pigeons into the kitchen, and cut them with a knife.

The three fat pigeons only had time to coo twice before they died.

Soon, Zhang Shumei skillfully processed the pigeon, and also thoughtfully prepared three portions of side dishes before leaving the kitchen.

Qin Huai squatted in the kitchen and started watching the video tutorial.

The video tutorials are nothing to watch because they have absolutely no learning value.

Liu Tao's cooking skills are indeed not that good, which can be seen from the quality of the pigeon stewed with Gastrodia elata.

E-level.

No wonder the soup is the only drinkable part of the whole dish.

Slightly better knife skills than Qinhuai, rough processing techniques, poor bleeding, rich ingredients, stewed at the level of tangerine peel tea, the heat is unbearable to watch, and the finished product is E-grade.

It can be seen that this dish has a lot of room for improvement.

After watching the video tutorial, Qin Huai quickly forgot about it and searched in his mind for the characteristics of each ingredient and how to process it that Huang Shengli had introduced to him in the online class. After a little integration, he flipped through the electronic document that Huang Shengli had sent him. Qin Huai processed the pigeon that Zhang Shumei had already processed for a second time and started to stew it.

Qin Huai did not waste the following time and continued to knead the dough and make snacks.

Although a long period of time had passed in his memory, time in reality had hardly moved and it was still noon.

I can also make snacks for a few hours and stock up some for Chen Huihong and Luo Jun, especially for Luo Jun.

Everything that should be seen today has been seen, and everything that should be talked about has been talked about. Qin Huai knew that Luo Jun’s tribulation in his first life was bound to be a failure. After all, the person who was undergoing the tribulation did not want to succeed.

Based on Qin Huai's understanding of Luo Jun, Luo Jun will definitely not leave Shan City.

Qin Huai will go back to Huangji tomorrow to continue working, and will not return to his hometown in Qiu County until the Chinese New Year. He will return to Yunzhong Canteen after the Chinese New Year. During the few months in between, Chen Huihong may go to Gusu for a meal, but Luo Jun probably won't have this good fortune.

As the first heir to Luo Jun's inheritance, Qin Huai had to hurry up and make something delicious for Luo Jun.

Eat whatever you can.

Two hours later, the pigeon stewed with Gastrodia elata was ready.

【Gastrodia elata stewed pigeon D+ grade】

Qin Huai felt that his cooking skills had improved. He had never used pigeon before. Today was the first time he cooked a dish related to pigeon, and it was a red dish, but he was able to make it D+ grade.

A few months ago, I couldn't even imagine it.

The pigeon meat stewed with D+ grade Gastrodia elata is definitely edible.

Chen Huihong happily finished the entire portion, then burped and couldn't eat the rest.

Luo Jun finished the pigeon soup silently. Qin Huai quietly opened the game panel and took a look. Nothing happened.

Sure enough, he was destined to inherit Luo Jun's entire estate within a few years.
