Leisurely fairy way

Chapter 44 Pumpkin Lantern
There is a way to cook food, which is called kitchen way.For a person who loves cooking, it is a big thing to be able to understand the way of cooking.Zhu Wenshang held the food in his mouth and tasted it for a long time before he ate it.

He liked to cook since he was a child, and practice was just an auxiliary means for him.He has also been fanatically pursuing that kind of thing, in the dish he ate just now.Zhu Wenshang wiped his eyes and knelt on the ground with a plop, "Boss Yin, I don't know Taishan, I...I apologize for all the disrespectful words I said, and beg your forgiveness. I...I also hope that you can accept me As an apprentice, I will follow you to learn the skill of cooking."

Yin Jianyi didn't even look at him, turned around and was about to walk out.

Zhu Wenshang was in a hurry, hugged Yin Jianyi's calf, and cried bitterly: "Guan Yin, I have loved cooking since I was a child, and I think there is no happier thing in the world than cooking! You must promise me! You Tell me, what conditions do you want, if you say it, I will definitely do it!"

This senior brother Zhu is just a straight person, just too obsessed with what he loves.Xiaochun glanced at the plate again, after making sure that the plate had been licked as smooth as a mirror by the brother who licked the plate just now, she turned her head sadly and stared at Zhu Wenshang who robbed her of food.

Yin Jianyi brushed his hand away, flicked his robe, and said coldly, "You don't have the qualifications, you'd better get lost."

Zhu Wenshang was shocked: "You...how do you say that I have no qualifications. I love cooking, and everyone has always said that the dishes I cook are delicious. I...I think that although my cultivation base is not high and my spiritual roots are low, I am still good at cooking. Handy."

Yin Jianyi frowned impatiently, and said, "Then let me tell you why. First, there are not many knives. For good knife skills, only one knife is used from beginning to end. Second, mind and hand are the same. What does the vegetables do to you, but a few hands will disturb your mind, but your heart is in the vegetables in your hands?"

Zhu Wenshang was said by him for a while, but it turned out to be sharp to the point.He was thinking deeply, and when Yin Jianyi saw that he was no longer talking, his face became even more mocking, and he turned around to leave.

Xiaochun looked at Yin Jianyi and secretly admired him. This person is quite special.While admiring her, she suddenly remembered that she was going to report to Yin Jianyi.He quickly followed Yin Jianyi out of the monk's kitchen.

"Well, Manager Yin, wait for me!"

The black figure in front of her stopped, and turned her head impatiently, only to see a little girl, only thirteen or fourteen years old, with an ordinary appearance, dressed in brown-gray common clothes, with a flattering smile on her face.

"I'm a newcomer to do the mission of the master, Ji Xiaochun. The senior sister in the deacon's hall asked me to find you directly. I wonder if there is any arrangement?"

Yin Jianyi frowned deeply, and looked at her carefully: "You are not suitable, you should go back."

Xiaochun looked innocent: "You haven't tried it, so how do you know I'm not suitable? Could it be that you, like them, judge people by their appearance?" Impression, I can often eat his dishes in the future.

"If I say no, I won't! You go and cancel the mission." Yin Jianyi was too lazy to tell her so much, so he just shook his hand and left.

Xiaochun is a little angry, this guy is a little unreasonable, she has accepted all the tasks, let her try it no matter what.Not long ago, she still felt that the tasks in the kitchen were optional, but after what happened just now, she has a completely different view on cooking, and she must give it a try.

Xiaochun said behind him: "Anyway, you can't decide whether I can quit the mission! At most, you are not satisfied with me at the beginning and let me go directly, but I definitely won't leave now!"

Yin Jianyi stopped in his tracks, and after a while, he said, "Then it's up to you."

Xiaochun woke up from cultivation, her spiritual power returned to her dantian, and she became stronger again.Ever since Master Lian began to absorb her spiritual power, her cultivation has slowed down even more. Although the mass of gray spiritual power is also growing day by day, the speed is slow.When she opened her hands, the five spirit stones were grayish white, and when she squeezed them again, they turned into ashes and floated down.

She went out of the house and sat down on a wicker chair under the vine, which also grew to the top of her head.Looking at the scenery in Qinglian Jade, because of the lack of lotus seeds, there is no cycle of seasons in Qinglian Jade, and the scenery remains unchanged and monotonous, and there is nothing to see, but Master Lian does not know where to go.

She didn't care too much, and took out the recipes distributed by the kitchen to study.This recipe was not made into jade slips, but paper books were used, which listed the types and methods of dishes sold in Shanzhai.

The monks who have just arrived in the kitchen have to go through a four-month training period. During this period, they just learn and observe cooking. The real job should be doing chores, and the salary is only 23 spirit stones. It's 23 fast spirit stones plus a Juyuan pill.

Brother Zhao, who gave her the recipe, also specially explained to her that the recipe is dead, as long as the taste is right, who cares how you make it, so don't be too rigid about the steps.Xiaochun thought of the match between Zhu Wenshang and Yin Jianyi that she watched that day, and she knew in her heart that Yin Jianyi basically broke the traditional steps and carried out in-depth transformation and processing of the dishes according to his understanding.This is your real recipe.

Because many monks don't know about spiritual dishes, there are also pictures at the end of the recipe that specifically talk about spiritual dishes.The spiritual vegetables are not mysterious at all, they are all grown by ordinary vegetables in places with extremely strong spiritual energy. The concentration of spiritual energy required by the spiritual herbs is at least the middle grade of Xuan level, but it is also because of the rich spiritual energy that the spiritual vegetables will have different degrees of variation , and new species are derived.

Xiaochun closed the recipe, planning to try it with ordinary ingredients first.She found a dish on the menu, Nantian Aoki, which translates colloquially as: steamed pumpkin.She picked a pumpkin and washed it, took it to the kitchen that Master Lian had built, peeled it, cut it in half, and took out the pumpkin seeds inside. She remembered that pumpkin seeds were edible, so she put them aside.

She took out a set of knives that were uniformly equipped in the kitchen, and pulled out a knife similar to Yin Jianyi's.

Cut the squash into thin strips and place neatly on a plate.When the water boiled, Xiaochun was not in a hurry to steam the pumpkin. She first used the fireball technique to sear the surface of the pumpkin.Then she took out a small slender porcelain bottle, which was a bit of honey left over from feeding the red-tailed black bee. She poured the honey on the surface of the pumpkin, transported her spiritual power to her hand, and pressed the honey into the pumpkin with her spiritual power.

After steaming the pumpkin in the pot, Xiaochun stared blankly at the rising steam, and kept thinking about the scene of Yin Jianyi cooking in his head. There was a huge gap between them.She picked up the remaining pumpkin and controlled the knife in her hand to carve it. In fact, it was not easy to carve. Xiaochun managed to carve a little pig. Why was he able to use the knife so freely?
Xiaochun secretly thought, if she could use the knife so freely, the speed was extremely fast and the angle was tricky.When facing the enemy, it will increase the chances of winning a lot.

Lord Lian had watched her from behind for a long time, and he also watched the whole match that day, but he was very afraid of Yin Jianyi in his heart.A knife for cooking is also a knife for killing. He can use that knife to cook good food, and he can also use that knife to kill people neatly.

He didn't study cooking, but he did study knife skills. Looking at the clumsy little pig carved by Xiaochun, he sighed, took the knife in Xiaochun's hand, and took out another pumpkin from the storage bag. , peeling, carving.His speed is also extremely fast.Xiaochun was immediately attracted by his movements, his movements were more simple, without extra fancy or tricks, just just right, every cut was just right.The crumbs of the pumpkin flew down, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of Master Lian's mouth.

His hand spread out in front of her, and the floating pumpkin looked like a hollowed-out lantern.The lantern pattern is complicated, and the hollowing technique is complicated. There is also a hollowed out orb in the hollowed out pumpkin.Master Lian flicked her finger, and a small fireball appeared, which penetrated into the orb in the lantern, like a delicate pumpkin lantern.

Xiaochun's eyes lit up, he grabbed Lord Lian's sleeve and asked, "How did you do it, why is your knife so good?"

Lord Lian pulled out her sleeve from her hand, smoothed it out, and then said: "My natal artifact is the sword. If you are proficient in swordsmanship, you are the sword, and the sword represents your will. Let nature take its course." It has become a part of your body command, so that your sword can be used well, and so is the saber technique. It's just ridiculous." Master Lian laughed at herself, "My sword technique was originally used to kill people, but now I use it to kill people. Carve pumpkins with you."

Xiaochun muttered Master Lian's words, took the knife in his hand, and looked it up and down.She looked at Master Lian: "Give me a pumpkin."
