Chapter 11 Small Talk
A joy flashed in Peng Li's eyes: "I seem to have found the direction of breakthrough in cooking skills!"
Emotion! It's emotion!
Under the passion, the dishes I made actually had a surging feeling. What about joy? What about sadness? What about bitterness?
Cooking is a creation, which is to process, match, barbecue and other methods to create a dish with excellent taste.
Ordinary people only want to pursue delicious food, but they don’t know that creating a dish can inject emotions in addition to the taste. For example, techniques such as painting, calligraphy, etc., when they reach a high level, they all pursue true feelings, so the same is true for our cooking skills.
A dish is a work. How can it be perfect without injecting emotions?
Peng Li's eyes sparkled, and thoughts gushed out, thinking a lot.
Soon, another batch of roasted bear meat was put on a plate and was snatched away by everyone again. Seeing that everyone was getting more and more energetic, they couldn't help but smile, and their hands couldn't help but speed up.
Well, wait...what is wrong?
Although he had already consumed a lot of physical strength and energy before, Peng Li found that his physical strength and energy had completely recovered and he was in his best state!
Can... the dishes you make can instantly restore people's physical strength and energy?
If it is true, it will harm my god!
Just imagine, a person's work and labor requires a lot of physical or mental strength. If he wants to return to his best state, he often needs a good sleep, that is, eight hours of sleep to recover. And his own food can make people recover to the best state quickly, so how can a person's work ability and speed not double?
This needs to be tried carefully.
...
Another hour passed, and every time Peng Li baked a plate of meat strips, he would be snatched by everyone. Even the bear bone Baji freshly cooked half an hour ago was snatched away within a quarter of an hour.
After eating and drinking, the village chief touched his slightly stuffy belly and called out: "Everyone has finished eating. According to what he said before, if you want to donate ten or twenty cents, I will hand it all over to Li Laosan's wife so that Li Laosan can leave with peace of mind!"
Subsequently, more than 100 households in the village sent one person to donate money, most of whom donated twenty cents, and a few families donated ten cents in real difficulty, and raised a total of 2,000 cents. In addition, the money sold by bear skin was barely enough for Wang to raise three children. If Wang did something more, his life would still be acceptable.
When Wang took the money, tears flowed out from his eyes that cried again, and he bowed to everyone and thanked him again, and finally thanked Peng Li in a heavy voice.
Because Peng Li is not from Lijia Village, he is so enthusiastic about helping their family. Although Wang doesn’t understand the great principles, he can tell the difference between good people and bad people, knowing that Peng Li has made great efforts.
During Peng Li's barbecue, Wei Yuan had already smelled the fragrance and came over to eat and drink, but in the end he donated 30 cents to express his feelings.
So Peng Li didn't have to cook bear's paws at noon, so he changed to night.
Afterwards, everyone went back to their homes, and they kept praising Peng Li's cooking skills on the way. Someone placed an order to ask Peng Li to serve at night.
Peng Li naturally has to take orders. After all, he is still a pauper in this world. If he doesn’t work hard to make some money, he doesn’t even have the courage to leave this fishing village.
When he returned to the village chief's house, Peng Li started chatting with the village chief, especially about the deeds related to Qi Refiners and Immortals.
When the village chief was young, he left the village and spent ten years in Longmen City. He took his grandson back to the village until his son and daughter-in-law were murdered by an official. Therefore, he had heard a lot of legends about Qi training men and immortal gods, and had also seen the true body of the dragon with his own eyes.
It was in Longmen City, where a silver dragon hangs over the city wall, and a dragon flame spewed a bat demon to death, which caused a sensation in the whole city and more than a dozen villages around it.
According to the old man in Longmen City, it was the third time that the true body of a divine dragon appeared in Longmen City in a thousand years.
It is said that a thousand years ago, when the Dragon King was sacrificed in Longmen City, a red dragon would come to spray the dragon squid to show that the dragon power in the Dragon Palace was powerful.
However, since the son of the General of Chentang Pass, 800 miles south of Longmen City, killed Longmen City, a thousand years ago, the Dragon Palace has rarely sent dragons to patrol the coast of the East China Sea. Even the human city closest to the Dragon Palace has rarely appeared in Longmen City. The shrimp soldiers and crab generals patrolled Longmen City every year, but they are not so friendly to humans.
In addition, the village chief also knew that there was an immortal cultivation sect five hundred miles west of Longmen City, near the border of the Tang Dynasty. It was cultivated by the sword immortals, which was reportedly passed down from Lu Shangxian, one of the eight immortals. Moreover, Wei Yuan's son was recruited into the sect five years ago to learn the method of practicing sword immortals.
Among the four continents on earth, the Southern Continent is the origin of mankind. Later, the Buddha passed down Buddhism in Xiniu Hezhou, so a large number of Buddhist believers moved to Xiniu Hezhou. However, the Northern Continent still seemed to be full of fairies, which was not suitable for human survival at all.
Since it was all rumors and the memory was a bit blurry, the village chief said it and talked about it. The more he talked about it, the more he became more and more interested. Peng Li also listened with relish.
After all, Journey to the West is just an 820,000-word novel, and it only carries the process of Tang Monk's pursuit of scriptures. Peng Li now looks at this world from another perspective and sees the whole world.
...
Before I knew it, it was late for dinner, and Peng Li started his door-to-door service journey again.
Wei Yuan's bear paw was added to abalone by Peng Li, and he made a pearl in his palm, which was actually a high-quality dish. However, Peng Li had no mood at all, and he was actually a high-quality dish.
This also confused Peng Li. He thought that the dishes were raised to high-end quality because he integrated his emotions. However, he did not want the emotions to be integrated into the dishes, which would make people empathize, allowing people to cook dishes more carefully without improving the quality of the dishes. The real reason for becoming a high-end quality dish is that the ingredients are high-end, and the dishes will also be improved.
This is also the truth that Peng Li only understood later.
Braised crucian carp!
White scalloped shrimp!
Salt and pepper shrimp!
Spicy rabbit meat!
...
Peng Li began to cook every dish wholeheartedly, hoping to cook high-quality dishes again. Although it was not successful, Peng Li also verified an idea.
It turned out that Peng Li would secretly taste every dish, but after more than an hour, Peng Li was still energetic, which shows that the dishes he made in Journey to the West all have a function: quickly recovering physical and mental strength.
If you can make such a dish on earth, it would be an epoch-making initiative. If everyone can eat it, it would be enough to change the world!
