Back at the rented place, Xu Guangling first took a refreshing shower. Well, this was necessary and inevitable. Then, he washed the branch he brought back as if he were washing vegetables.
Take the cutting board, pick up the branch, and pick up the kitchen knife.
Just like cooking and processing ingredients, Xu Guangling expertly processed the branch as he needed. Break off a section of the branch, separate the outer skin, and flatten the inner part like garlic. In addition,
The leaves are yellow and withered, but there are no green leaves.
Looking at the four ingredients ready to be tasted, Xu Guangling hesitated for a moment, then with a fearless spirit, he directly picked up the cut piece of bark and put it into his mouth.
The next moment, his expression became "alive" in an instant.
Bitter, what kind of bitterness is it? Astringent, what kind of astringency is it? The two words bitterness immediately taught Xu Guangling to start a new life.
Xu Guangling has tasted bitter things, such as bitter melon, which is quite delicious. His mother used to make it often. Xu Guangling has also tasted astringent things, such as unripe dates, apricots, apples, pears, and plums.
Xu Guangling has tasted them all, including persimmons. Even mature persimmons are very astringent without processing.
At those times, Xu Guangling thought it was bitter and astringent.
But now, when he entered the tree bark, he experienced the real bitterness!
Really, in just a few seconds, Xu Guangling felt that his taste buds had been severely damaged. His entire mouth was protesting to him, why should such an inhumane thing be put in?
The sensitive sense of taste became an extremely sharp double-edged sword at this moment, making Xu Guangling's entire face twitch, but at the same time, the nature of this piece of bark also appeared in his mind.
Green, cyan, blue, purple.
Liver, spleen, stomach, lungs.
Sure enough, when we were on the hill before, it was incomplete to judge the overall nature of the big tree through its breath. At that time, it showed red, orange, yellow, green, black, and gray. But now, this
The piece was taken from the bark of the big tree, but it showed green, green, blue and purple.
Except for the intersection of "green", the two are completely different.
Perhaps, the aura he felt belonged to the main body of the tree, and the bark only belonged to the branches. The properties of the two are completely different?
That's probably it.
The next moment, Xu Guangling briefly thought about the nature of the bark identified by Shennong Jue.
Did he really not know before that this bark was actually a good thing?
This is what Shennong Jue told him.
It has beneficial effects on the liver, spleen, stomach, and lungs. Of course, it also has harmful effects, which can be said to be a mixed blessing. However, if it can be extracted specifically...
Well, with today's technical means, it is possible to perform targeted extraction, right?
Xu Guangling felt that in this field, there was a huge world waiting for him to get involved, and it also tempted him to get involved.
Next, something unexpected happened, um, a good thing.
After spitting out the bark in his mouth, Xu Guangling rinsed his mouth with warm water. He thought that it would take a long time to rinse the bitterness in his mouth, but after thinking about it, Qi and blood surged, and his mouth became numb and hot.
After changing the water twice, the strange feeling in my mouth basically disappeared.
By the third water change, all the bitterness had been completely eliminated.
This is undoubtedly an unexpected surprise.
Therefore, when it came to tasting the next three ingredients, Xu Guangling had a rather relaxed attitude. No matter how bitter they were, they would only last for a while. But after tasting them one by one, Xu Guangling discovered
He made a pretty good decision by putting the bark first in the tasting.
Because the bark is the most bitter!
The remaining three items were not very bitter, and Xu Guangling even tasted a little sweetness from the leaves.
Of course, it is actually also because of comparison.
Without first tasting the bark, he would never be able to taste the sweetness from the leaves. That would be crazy.
At this point, the tasting is over.
But in fact, the tasting was just incidental to this experiment. Xu Guangling's real or main intention was to test whether he could enter the morning state under another big tree and then complete the accumulation of "droplets"
.
The experiment is half successful.
That means it is no problem to enter the same state as in the morning again.
But there is really a limit to the accumulation of "droplets". Xu Guangling doesn't know the reason for this limit, but for now, he can only let nature take its course. And to take a step back, there were only
Two drops, now a conservative estimate is four drops a day, which is already doubled!
"The clouds gather and the spring thunder arises."
After savoring Fu Xijue's words, Xu Guangling had some guesses, but for the time being, they could only be guesses.
At the moment, Xu Guangling wondered if the process of accumulating "droplets" was the so-called "cloud gathering". If so, what would the "spring thunder" be? And this was exactly what Xu Guangling expected.
After passing Fuxi Jue, we came to Shennong Jue.
"Eating and maintaining health is the beginning of spiritual practice. The method of identifying plants and trees is the second best among all methods."
Thinking about this again, Xu Guangling also had a rough idea or plan for his next journey of "identifying grass and trees".
Tasting like today is actually unnecessary.
Well, no need for now!
This kind of thing should be mid- to long-term goals, immediate, temporary, and short-term goals, and he should focus on various foods.
For example, various grains, various fish and meat, various vegetables, various fruits, etc., and then transition from these ingredients to food and medicine materials, such as wolfberry, red dates, astragalus, ginseng and other materials.
.
From daily life to less daily life, from familiarity to less familiarity, this should be his "Shen Nong's Road".
It is neither useful nor too ambitious to try to identify all kinds of unfamiliar plants and trees from the beginning. It would not be an exaggeration to use the word "fudge" to evaluate it. And if we look at daily food,
Get started...
Thinking of this, Xu Guangling was suddenly stunned.
There is a feeling of enlightenment.
Probably, maybe...
He somewhat understood why he dreamed of nine-grade white jade soup, ginseng, sweet potato and yam vermicelli, and ten mushroom soup noodles in the first, second and third dreams before. Perhaps the content of the dream was not what he had imagined before.
Belongs to the chef, but belongs to, belongs to...
Belongs to "Shen Nong"!
At this moment, Xu Guangling had a faint feeling of numbness in his scalp, and was shocked by this idea!
If all this is what he thinks.
Then, the first three dreams and the three foods involved in the dreams are clear examples and examples, guiding him.
Why is Jiupin White Jade Soup so delicious? Although he has never tasted the original white jade soup shown in his dream until now, Xu Guangling has no doubt about its deliciousness! Why don’t better wild ginseng be used as the ingredients for ginseng, sweet potato and yam vermicelli?
When choosing garden ginseng, why are there restrictions on the types of sweet potatoes and yams? Why is the cooking of ten mushroom clear soup so complicated and delicate, almost like making medicine?
At this moment, Xu Guangling felt that he probably had the answer.
