Chapter 508 Talking about perfect food, and then on martial arts
In just a few words, Ye Xingyu explained all the advantages and characteristics of this dish.
Then, he changed his tone: "However, too many ingredients and medicinal materials are added to it, such as yam, Codonopsis pilosula, angelica root, wolfberry, red dates, etc., as well as Cordyceps sinensis. As a result, the taste of the medicinal diet is too
It is strong and covers up the umami flavor of the two ingredients. It not only affects the taste, but also is overly nutritious. It is obviously superfluous, so I will deduct one point."
Lian Rui nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "The smell of the medicine is indeed a bit strong, but I wouldn't have noticed it if you didn't tell me."
Ye Xingyu continued: "In addition, it may be because it was done in a hurry, the stewing time was not enough, and some heat was missing. The meat was slightly hard and not crispy enough. This was also a shortcoming, so another point was deducted.
There are only eight points left.”
"As expected, he is an expert. His words are very pertinent and hit the nail on the head!" Lian Rui immediately raised his thumbs and expressed heartfelt admiration.
The topic of food often becomes the main theme at the dinner table. When family and friends gather together for dinner, many people like to talk about it. After all, foodies can be found everywhere.
Ye Xingyu and Lian Rui talked about food, which aroused the interest of many people present, so they all consciously shut up, ended the conversation temporarily, and listened to the conversation between the two.
Lian Rui asked for advice on several other dishes, and Ye Xingyu spoke eloquently, and his answers were fluent, well-founded and convincing, fully demonstrating his rich experience and profound knowledge as a chef.
Even Zhang Yang began to admire Ye Xingyu and raised his glass and praised: "It turns out there is so much knowledge in cooking. You really know too much!"
Ye Xingyu responded humbly: "I just know a little bit, maybe something is not right."
After saying that, he also raised his wine glass, touched it lightly with Zhang Yang, and the two of them drank it in one gulp.
Then, everyone heard Shu Yan say: "I didn't expect that Mr. Ye is not only proficient in martial arts, but also good at cooking. He is really good at both civil and military skills!"
"What kind of civil and military skills is this?" Ye Xingyu couldn't help but laugh, "Cooking is not about writing articles or learning, it's just to satisfy the appetite, it's not as exaggerated as you said!"
"You can't say that!" Shu Yan immediately retorted to him, "Since ancient times, food has been the most important thing for people, and 'eating' always comes first! In my opinion, a man who can cook well
Extraordinary charm, much cuter than the male professors in the college!"
While saying this, Shu Yan smiled slightly and her eyes moved, staring firmly at Ye Xingyu's eyes, as if they were being discharged.
Ye Xingyu subconsciously thought to himself: Could this girl want to tease me?
Of course, it was just a matter of thinking about it. He would not flirt back in a pretentious manner. He only responded lightly: "It's a reward, it's a reward. I deserve it."
Shu Yan showed him a charming smile, which was extremely touching.
Then, she suddenly changed the topic and talked about other aspects.
"Zhang Yang and I were discussing just now. When martial arts is practiced to the extreme, will hardness prevail over softness, or softness overcome hardness? Mr. Ye's opinion on this?"
Perhaps because of her dance studies, Shu Yan seems to be quite interested in martial arts. After all, the two have the same pronunciation and both rely on body movements to express themselves.
Before this, Shu Yan had been discussing martial arts with Zhang Yang, but she didn't expect that she would come to ask Ye Xingyu for advice now.
The way of martial arts has a long history and can be traced back to ancient times, but there is no way to investigate who its founder was.
But no one would have thought that Ye Xingyu sitting here was the originator of martial arts. If Shu Yan wanted to ask for advice in this regard, she really asked the right person.
"The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiencies when there are excess losses, and the same is true for martial arts." Ye Xingyu answered calmly and calmly, with a loud voice that had a sense of majesty that shocked people's hearts. "Strength and softness are both the use of strength.
If it is too hard, there will be excess, if it is too soft, it will be insufficient. In fact, neither is advisable. We should follow the laws of heaven, make up for the excess of losses, and make up for the shortcomings, so that hardness and softness can complement each other, so that we can live forever."
This answer not only denies Zhang Yang's theory that strength overcomes softness, but also denies Shu Yan's theory that softness overcomes strength, and puts forward a new theory, that is, balance.
Zhang Yang did not agree, and immediately argued: "I don't think so. Hardness is hardness, and softness is softness. The so-called balance of hardness and softness is only true in theory, and it is difficult to achieve in practice! So if you look at the current martial arts practitioners, they either practice hard
Either gong, or practice soft gong, neither soft and hard go together, doing so will only affect each other, slowing progress, and doing more harm than good!"
Ye Xingyu smiled slightly: "You are right about one thing. Training both hard and soft will indeed affect the speed of cultivation, but it can lay a solid foundation. The further you go, the smoother the road will be. It is just bitter first and then sweet.
!”
After saying this, he gave another example: "Not long ago, I actually met a weirdo who practiced both soft and hard skills together. Her strength should exceed that of most of her peers."
This "weird guy" is Wang Chunxiang, who practices soft boxing and kicking together, and both are very tasty.
Even Wang Chunxiang before his breakthrough was much stronger than Zhang Yang, not to mention that the latter was several years older, nearly thirty years old.
"Huh? There is such a person?" Zhang Yang was surprised and didn't seem to believe it.
"Who is this person? How old is he? Is he a boy or a girl? What is his current strength?" Shu Yan asked a series of questions.
Ye Xingyu looked at Shu Yan and answered truthfully: "She is a female special police officer, about the same age as you! When I first met her, she was still at the peak of my maternal family, but now she has broken through to the darkest level, which is a rare sight in a hundred years.
A martial arts genius."
"What? You are only in your twenties and you have already become a master of the family, and you are still a woman? How is this possible?" Zhang Yang found it even more incredible and expressed deep doubts.
It's no wonder that he has been trained by his father since he was a child. Although he is not very young, he is still quite successful in martial arts. He has almost reached the pinnacle of his family. It is inevitable that he will set his sights on others and call himself a genius, even if
Even though he doesn't come from a wealthy family, he still dares to talk to young men like Su Kun and Lian Rui on an equal footing.
Unexpectedly, a martial arts genius suddenly popped up from Ye Xingyu's mouth. He was younger than Zhang Yang but had higher achievements than Zhang Yang. This made Zhang Yang feel ashamed, his self-esteem was severely damaged, and he inevitably refused to believe it.
Ye Xingyu couldn't help laughing when he saw Zhang Yang's eyes widening as big as a copper bell, but he didn't have the patience to explain and prove to the other party. Zhang Yang could only decide whether he believed it or not.
Shu Yan's reaction was much calmer than Zhang Yang's. She looked at the table with a thoughtful expression on her face, wondering what she was thinking of.
As for the others, they were all laymen and not interested in martial arts. They could only listen quietly and were unable to express their views or opinions.
