Dazzling Starlight

Gangbangjie scratched his head in annoyance and said, "Ah, this monk is really annoying. It's better to just say what you mean, you have to go around like this."

However, at this time, Liu Xingyao had already thought about it.Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Yin and Yang, just now, nothingness also said that this refers to the theory of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.Yin and Yang and the Five Elements say that they complement each other;

So let’s go back to the origin of the theory of yin and yang and the five elements.The theory of yin and yang was formed as early as the Xia Dynasty.The harmony of yin and yang causes all things to grow. In the sky, wind, clouds, thunder, and rain are formed. In the ground, large terrains such as rivers, seas, mountains and rivers are formed. The orientation is east, west, south, and north. The climate is spring. , summer, autumn and winter.

The four signs of the sky correspond to human beings with ears, eyes, mouth, and nose; the four signs of the earth correspond to human beings, qi, blood, bones, and flesh; and humans have three hundred and sixty joints that correspond to the number of the surrounding sky; The sky has four seasons, the earth has four directions, and people have four limbs. The knuckles can observe the sky, and the palm lines can observe the unity of heaven, earth, and people.

The Five Elements Theory is a philosophical thought created by the ancient Chinese people.It uses the five attributes of daily life: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth as the basis for constituting all things in the universe and the changes of various natural phenomena.These five types of conditions have different attributes, such as wood has the nature of growth and development; fire has the nature of heat and upward; earth has the nature of peace and solidity; metal has the nature of chilling and restraining; water has the nature of cooling and moisturizing .The Five Elements Theory takes the properties of all things in nature into the five categories of human beings.

If you think about it carefully, both yin and yang represent all things.

Everything... everything and cooking?What is the connection between the two?

Chapter [-] The people take food as their heaven

The Five Elements theory and cooking, no matter how you look at it, are like two different worlds.If you have to connect the Five Elements theory with cooking, the first thing Liu Xingyao thinks of is the most powerful housekeeping ability of the leader of the dark cooking world - the eight array of magic.

Breaking the Demons Eight Arrays, Liu Xingyao knew from his understanding of the original book that this was a dish that only Kaiyou could make. The principle of "Breaking the Magic Eight Arrays" is to use the principle that the five elements of the food will cause the food to become unpalatable and toxic, and to use qigong to force the change of the five elements of the food to make the surface taste delicious. The toxicity is still there and will become stronger, and it will cause great damage to the body after human consumption.

Yes, from this point of view, food actually has its own attributes.But even so, even if Kaiyu's Eight Demon-breaking Arrays did not mention the two attributes of yin and yang, the Eight Demon-breaking Arrays at best only talked about the five elements.So, what happened to the yin and yang five elements and ingredients?

For a while, even Liu Xingyao fell into doubt.If 380 can't decipher the meaning of yin and yang and five elements of nothingness, it means that there is no way to make dishes that fit the theme.

"Forget it...don't think about it for now. Let's go outside and see what ingredients are available." Liu Xingyao said to everyone.

Everyone nodded, then walked out of the Jinshan Temple and came to a jungle on the top of Mount Tai.For chefs, nature is a treasure trove of natural ingredients, where you can find the best and freshest ingredients whenever you want.

"Although I don't know the meaning of the old monk's words for the time being, it's not wrong to find the ingredients on Mount Tai first, but I can't let the bastards in the dark cooking world grab the good ingredients first."

Gangbang Jie said to Liu Xingyao, Yao Niang, Tian Suohui, Erina and others, "Well, let me do the rough work, and let me do the catching pheasants and hares on Mount Tai. Vegetables. , fish, fire, and water will be handed over to you all, is this no problem?"

Liu Xingyao nodded, indicating that there was no problem.Then Gangbang Jie took his black steel rod and headed towards the interior of the forest to catch pheasants, hares, etc.And Liu Xingyao took the three daughters to start looking for edible wild vegetables on Mount Tai.Knowing that the three daughters rarely come to such a deep mountain, Liu Xingyao walked slowly with the three daughters. Although he was slow, he looked carefully along the way.It didn't take a while to find the first edible wild vegetable - toon.

Toona sinensis, also known as toon buds, is a deciduous tree, dioecious, with even-pinnate leaves, panicles, bisexual flowers, white flowers, oval capsules, and wing-like seeds.It stands to reason that there should be no such wild vegetable plants on the top of Mount Tai, but I did not expect to find them.

The three girls quickly picked it up, especially Erina and Tiansuohui, who are modern people, but know the use value of this toon.It is not only rich in nutrition, but also has high medicinal value. The leaves are thick and buds are tender, the green leaves are red, like agate and jade, with a strong fragrance, and the richness of nutrition is much higher than that of other vegetables. It is a precious delicacy for banquets.

Then they continued to walk along the other side of the forest. Liu Xingyao and others found a large number of wild mushrooms, wild rape, and figs.These are the purest natural ingredients at the top of Mount Tai, and they are much better than what you see in the market.

About an hour and a half later, Gangbang Jie also grabbed 1 hares and a pheasant and returned here to join Liu Xingyao and others.

"Haha, good luck, not only caught these things, but also found a pheasant egg. This is a good thing!" Gangbang Jie put the pheasant egg in his arms on the ground and smiled at everyone.

Looking at the big push of ingredients on the ground, everyone felt that the nearly 2 hours of hard work was not in vain.The ingredients found now are mainly pheasant, hare, pheasant, various wild vegetables and a little fruit, as well as wild mountain river fish accidentally caught from a pond. These ingredients are completely enough to make a hearty dish.

"Now that the ingredients are available... Then, Liu Xiaozi, have you decided what kind of cooking you want to make? That old monk said that you need to make dishes that meet the seven attributes..." Compared with finding ingredients, steel rods The most troublesome thing is here.

Liu Xingyao shook his head, indicating that he hadn't thought through.At this time, there is not much time left before the sun and the ten thousand-year-old pine line in the temple of Jinshan Temple. If you can't understand this, it's really too late.

"Forget it, don't think about it. Liu Xiaozi, let's go back to the temple first. No matter what he is doing, let's use these ingredients to make food for the old monk to eat. I still don't believe that with your cooking skills, you can still eat it. Can't satisfy him? No matter what the theme is, deliciousness is the most important thing, isn't that what cooking is all about?" Gang Gun Jie said impatiently.

Liu Xingyao's mind suddenly flashed when he heard the sentence "Steel Stick Solution", and he thought of something.

Delicious...all things...yin and yang and five elements!Yin and Yang and the five elements represent all things, the body is in all things, and the heart is on all things.In ancient times, it was said that "the nameless beginning of heaven and earth, the famous mother of all things", the people of all things regard food as the heaven, so that means no matter what the world is, as long as you make delicious food.In other words, the meaning of nothingness is to make delicious and delicious dishes while conforming to the surface meaning of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, so they are asked to search for ingredients in Mount Tai, just to find such an answer. .

Chapter [-]: Liu Xingyao Group vs. Asian Journal Group

Just when Liu Xingyao communicated with the words of nothingness and decided to cook, at the same time, the dark cooking world was on the side.

"Master Yakan, what do you mean by the old monk's words? Cooking in line with the Yin-Yang and Five Elements? What does this mean..." Wu Song asked Yakan with some doubts.

Yakan sat on the ground and drank strong wine whenever he said: "Those people in the light world have been talking about all things and justice from a long time ago, so when he thinks about it carefully, he understands that it should have something to do with it. Right. You don’t need to worry about that much now, you just need to cook something that will convince them of losing.”

The walker Wu Song nodded, and after a while, the two young men in the dark cooking world brought the ingredients they found in the vicinity to Yakan and Wu Song, along with ~ Xiang En.

Xiang En was obviously exhausted, and a girl was still running around in this dangerous jungle with a couple of big men.But this is the case in the dark cooking world, the lower-level people just have to unconditionally obey the arrangement of the higher-level.

Taking a closer look, the ingredients found in the dark cooking world are actually similar to those found by Liu Xingyao and his party. The only difference is that they don't have so many wild vegetables, but they have more snakes that even steel rods can't handle easily.

"Snake meat, pheasant, hare and some wild vegetables."

Li Ke looked at Yakan with a bit of joy at the ingredients he had brought in, and said, "Isn't it enough for Master Yakan to use these ingredients to make a dish?"

Yakan took another sip and grinned, then nodded, and said, "Well... let's go, let's go back to the temple with the things first."

And looking back, Liu Xingyao and others are here

At this time, Liu Xingyao and his party had already returned to Jinshan Temple one step ahead.At this time, it is not far from the specified time, when the sun is in a straight line with Wannian Song in the backyard of Jinshan Temple, and everyone must hurry up and start cooking.

"How do you say it, Liu Xiaozi, have you already thought about what kind of food you want to cook?" Gangbang Xie asked while helping Liu Xingyao carry out a few clay pots he had found in the temple.

Liu Xingyao nodded and said that he had already thought about what to do.After finding the required ingredients, kitchen utensils, seasonings, etc., the preliminary cooking work begins.I saw that Liu Xingyao first turned the washed wild vegetables into a boiling water pot for boiling, and then put the wild duck into the pot and simmered.

"Pheasant and hares are not easy to stew, because wild animals always have game in them, so they must undergo special treatment." Liu Xingyao said that he began to deal with pheasants and hares again.

However, at this time, Akan and the others from the dark cooking world also returned here.

"Those guys are back too... um, that's... snake meat?" Gangbang Jie couldn't help but get goosebumps when he saw the snake meat in the hands of the two little guys in the dark cooking world.In fact, he also saw snake meat in the forest just now, but he didn't dare to touch these things when he was bitten by a snake when he was a child. The so-called fear of a well rope after being bitten by a snake for ten years is this reason.

Perhaps noticing the look of Gangbang Jie, one of the little guys from the dark cooking world grabbed the dead cauliflower snake and said with a smile: "How about the opposite, we have caught a few here, if necessary, I will I can give you one!"

Cauliflower snake, a kind of non-venomous snake, has high food value and can also be used in traditional Chinese medicine.

"Bastard, we don't want snake meat. Take it and use it yourself!" said the steel rod with a drop of sweat hanging from his forehead.

"Hahaha~ I don't think you dare to ask for it, you are afraid of snakes~" the little scoundrel laughed.

The steel rod Jie, who was seen through, was obviously very guilty, but fortunately, at this time, Yakan stopped the quarrel and said: "Okay, let's start too. The work of cleaning up snake meat and pheasants is left to the two of you."
