Chapter 134: Understanding the Salty Flavor
The meat from the pig demon had to be cooked in a large pot, and since people from the entire city came to pay their respects, two stoves were temporarily built.

However, without suitable talismans, this stove does not belong to the "stove temple".

The first dish to be prepared and processed is the pig-killing dish.

[Nine Turns of Large Intestine]
[Braised pork intestines with green onions]
[Blood Rice Stuffed with Pig Blood Sausage]
[Stir-fried pork intestines with pickled cabbage]

There was no other way. There were so many eighth-grade pig demons, each as big as an elephant. Even washing their intestines took a lot of work and mobilized a lot of people.

There are more dishes.

Pig kidneys, two kidneys, one kidney weighs nearly three hundred pounds. To make them into kidney flowers, Master Bao, the ninth-grade chef, has to do it himself.

Not to mention pig hearts, livers, lungs and the like.

Each one is in the shape of a giant monster, and ordinary people cannot disassemble it. Even Chen Xiu, an eighth-grade monster-hunting archer, has to take a knife and cut the meat here.

It just so happens that the secret realm of salt is filled with high-quality salt. The salty one among the five flavors is one of the rituals. Salt flows through the kidney meridian and can strengthen the essence, so it is said that eating salt can give strength. Because the kidney controls fear, salty has the function of stopping shock and calming the mind. In addition, eating too much salt will suppress the heart meridian.

At the funeral of the county magistrate, Song Wuji planned to put his skills to good use and complete one-fifth of the ritual. After all, saltiness comes not only from salt but also from tears. Sad scenes and emotions are always associated with saltiness. It's nothing else but tears flowing into his mouth.

In addition to the salty taste, Song Wuji had also realized the freshness of love and hate.

The salty and fresh taste, combined with the Seven Non-Desire Salt, can arouse people's seven emotions and six desires. Song Wuji plans to try it more often.

[Smooth pork liver]

[Sour Cabbage and Pork Stewed with Vermicelli]

[Cold pork skin jelly]

[Pork Heart, Angelica and Lotus Seed Soup]

[Spicy Pork Lung]
[Braised Pig's Tail]

Every dish is recorded in the kitchen book and becomes a recipe with various functions.

If recipes also have grades, then things like the "Wenxin Soup" and "Shuwei Poyi Soup" that Song Wuji had eaten before can be said to be of the ninth grade.

Now, some of these dishes are actually of the ninth grade individually.

When combined together to make the [Whole Pig Banquet Pig Dishes], it can be considered an eighth-grade delicacy.

What's more, it's not just pork that is cooked, there is also the flesh and blood of other monsters. When the Luohu python attacked the city before, there was also some fish meat. The leaves and tender stems of the little monsters in the plants outside the city, after blanching and removing the bitterness, are also good ingredients.

In addition, there is a big pot that is boiling lard. This is the fat of the eighth-grade pig demon. It is of extremely high quality and is very fragrant when used for cooking.

The three elders of the Beggar Sect, the Elder for Transmitting Skills, the Elder for Enforcement, and the Elder for Transmitting Laws, sat on the ground, holding broken bowls, and said impatiently: "We can't eat good food, so give us a bowl before it's ready. Don't waste your leftovers. I have a treasure here called a slop bucket, pour everything in here!"

The disabled people who were transformed into disciples of the Beggar Sect, although they mastered the rituals of the Beggar Sect and gained power, also followed the rules of the Beggar Sect and could not wear good clothes, eat good food, or live in good houses.

No one sat at the table, but just sat on the floor, mixing the dishes and rice together and eating with their hands.

These meals were not ordinary meals, especially the pig-killing dishes. After eating them, the Beggar Sect disciples felt very sad. For a moment, they felt that life was a harsh journey, a world full of demons, and their circumstances were miserable. They even became disabled and became beggars.

They ate and cried at the same time, their snot and tears mixing with their rice, the salty taste dragging them back into memories. But at the same time, the more miserable they felt, the smoother the Beggar Sect's Canyi Sutra mental method flowed.

Those who have learned the Lotus Falling technique are even more tragic.

They can play one or two musical instruments. Musical instruments do not have to be magical instruments to be effective. The seven-character verse can mobilize the seven emotions, which are all connected. For a moment, the blind old beggar played the erhu and sang at the same time, which sounded like a tragic magic sound.

When they cried, the people in the city also felt sympathetic. Since the great changes in heaven and earth, disasters have been rampant, and the victims have all fled all the way. They were numb at the time, but now that their emotions have been awakened, they only feel grief.

Then came the women. Some of them were widows whose husbands were murdered by the City God in his six divisions, and some were family members of the people who were killed by the demons when they entered the city.

In fact, this was not just a funeral for the county magistrate, but also a funeral for all the people who died.

The people lost their husbands, sons, and fathers... They wore mourning clothes, but there were no conditions for funerals. Most of the bodies were cremated, and only a few of the relics were kept as memorials.

Now that we have held such a grand event, their wish has been fulfilled.

Even Aunt Liu, who was cooking, couldn't help but shed tears when she smelled the aroma of the food. A salty smell filled the air. Song Wuji didn't even use the Seven Desire Salt to cook. After all, this stuff was refined from a salt corpse, so it was somewhat inappropriate.

[Prepare the whole pig feast and butchering dishes, and comprehend the salty element of the five flavors. Salty is the most important flavor and the soul of seasoning. It can nourish strength and spirit. Gain the effect: Food Memory]

Food memories: Flavor is always connected to memory. A wandering wanderer, what do they miss most? Is it the taste of home, or the people who cooked their home-cooked meals? The soul of food lies in the maker's emotions: salty, bland, just right, a reflection of care or longing. When, years after separation, you revisit a familiar meal, do you burst into tears?

Song Wuji didn't expect that after completing one-fifth of the ritual, it would trigger another characteristic of his cooking skills.

Compared with the incense from the stove fire, it can make the deceased soul feel that his parents are coming to take him away.

This food memory allows the living to taste the food made by their deceased loved ones, which is actually more lethal.

Song Wuji tasted a little himself and thought of his grandmother and recalled the carefree time of his childhood.

But in addition to these, comprehending the salty taste, just like comprehending the umami taste, can increase the specific effect of Song Wuji's food making by 10%.

After grieving and venting my emotions, I actually felt a lot better. I don’t know if it was because we cried together, or if it was because we attended the same funeral.

The people of Taichang County have developed a deeper friendship and are more harmonious with each other, like family members. The indigenous people in the city, who used to exclude the victims, are now less ostracized and are showing concern for them instead.

The victims outside the city originally did not trust the county government, but after this incident, they felt that the government was quite good.

After a good cry, everyone did not remain immersed in grief, but also ignited hope for life.

He desperately shoveled food into his mouth, tears streaming down his face as he swallowed. But in his heart, he secretly thought, "I want to become stronger! I want to kill more demons and get revenge!"

Love is greater than hate.

But hatred is more unforgettable than love.

Don't forget the hatred of the demon.

Never forget the tragedy of the massacre.
