Xu Guangling did not expect that the dream the day before yesterday was just the beginning, and yesterday's dream was obviously a continuation. Then, what would happen next, would there be a third dream or a fourth dream?
Sitting on the bed, Xu Guangling thought about the content of these two dreams.
In the first dream, he got to know potatoes, tofu, and mushrooms. It was not just a simple recognition, but a recognition as a chef. He knew the soil environment in which potatoes grow best, and knew the advantages of potatoes after they were unearthed.
Good identification, knowing the entire process from soybeans to tofu...
And in fact, there is more than just knowledge? He seems to have been an old farmer who has been growing potatoes for decades, or a tofu shop owner who has been producing tofu for decades...
But the character in the dream, the character cooking the "Nine-grade White Jade Soup", is blurry. Even the cooking scenes are blurry, or in fact they do not exist. The content of the dream is
Potatoes, tofu, mushrooms, and "Nine-grade White Jade Soup".
The dream last night was very similar.
In the dream, the man making vermicelli vaguely seemed to be an old man, but the old man's appearance, clothing, voice, etc. were all vague.
So how did he judge that this was an old man? Judging from the movements, there were many slow and delicate movements, which made Xu Guangling instinctively or intuitively think that the person doing these things was an old man. But in fact, was that really the case?
An old man? Or even, is that really a person doing those actions?
Xu Guangling was not sure.
But what he can be sure of is that if those things shown in the dream the day before yesterday and the dream yesterday were human beings, let's just think so for now, then the person who appeared in these two dreams was not the same person!
Because the rhythm of their movements is different!
As a music practitioner, well, he has not yet been in the music industry, Xu Guangling instinctively got the answer he wanted from this perspective.
Then his previous conjecture about the cyan light was completely untenable!
He originally thought it was a soul or consciousness belonging to the chef, but this second dream easily overturned his previous assumption. - Well, now it's time to talk about what this second dream is like.
.
This was still a dream about cooking, no, not cooking, but food, specifically, the making of vermicelli, which was what he was thinking about during the day.
The similarity between the two dreams before and after is that they are both related to food.
In yesterday's dream, he was witnessing the creation of vermicelli from scratch, or in other words, the making of vermicelli from the beginning to the end.
First, select the ingredients, ginseng, sweet potato, and yam.
That's right, these are the three types! It's not just sweet potatoes, but ginseng and yam. Moreover, these three are basically in parallel positions, rather than complementary.
Ginseng is the radish brand ginseng grown by Ginseng Farm, not the so-called forest ginseng, let alone wild ginseng. The sweet potatoes are also artificially grown sweet potatoes, not wild potatoes, but there are choices in types, but yams are a bit exception.
.
They are not the usual so-called iron-bar yams that are piled up neatly and neatly together, but the ones that are all kinds of weird, horizontal and vertical, and some are not even long, but chicken-foot-shaped, horseshoe-shaped, etc., in short
, it is absolutely correct to describe it as "strange-shaped".
These are three materials.
The next step is production.
Put the ginseng in a steamer and steam it like steamed buns to get the juice.
Sweet potato is just like making vermicelli normally, beating, filtering, and removing residue to get the vermicelli.
But the yam is taken in its entirety.
Then ginseng juice, sweet potato powder, and yam puree are mixed together in corresponding proportions as raw materials to make vermicelli. The process is not complicated.
Xu Guangling must say that he has learned a lot again!
He knew about potato vermicelli and sweet potato vermicelli before, but he never knew that you could add ginseng to the vermicelli! Even though it was just ginseng juice.
Also, the dream of steaming ginseng like steamed buns made him feel a little dizzy thinking about it now. So many ginseng were really piled into the steamer like radishes, piled full, and steamed in the pot.
, put one steamer basket first, and after steaming, put a new steamer basket on the pot, and the first steamer basket is placed on top of the new steamer basket, and then keep adding up in this way until the ninth steamer basket.
After steaming again, you can remove them one by one from top to bottom.
Steamed ginseng is regarded as "dregs" and can be thrown away directly, and only the juice steamed out of the pot is taken. - Although we know that garden ginseng is the ginseng grown by ginseng farmers in vegetable gardens and fields and has a short lifespan.
The effect is poor, basically equivalent to radish, but with such a preparation method, to be honest, Xu Guangling did feel a little drunk.
The production of sweet potato flour is quite satisfactory, there is nothing to say and nothing that surprises Xu Guangling.
Then there are yams.
With that kind of shape, almost no two yams look the same. Is it the so-called wild yam?
At the same time, Xu Guangling clearly understood the functions or effects of these three materials and why they were mixed together to make vermicelli through the dream last night. - This is not what a chef should have.
Ability!
Compared to a chef, he is more like a herbalist.
But, do Chinese herbalists use medicinal materials to make vermicelli? This style is a bit wild.
Xu Guangling's mind was a little confused. He was thinking about this strange ginseng, sweet potato and yam vermicelli for a while, and the strange dream itself. What happened to that mutation? Or, it was still a person's soul, but this person was both
A chef and a herbalist?
In other words, this person is a chef himself, but later he came into contact with health-preserving medicinal diets and so on, and turned to the development of this kind of "medicine and food" fusion ingredients?
As for the different rhythms, is it just because it is the performance of one person at different times?
After thinking for a long time, he still had no answer. Xu Guangling shook his head and put all this away from his mind for the time being. Then he jumped up from the bed, got out of bed, washed himself, went out, and went straight to the park.
Although he did not make an appointment with Mr. Zhang yesterday, and he had no obligation to report to Mr. Zhang, to put it bluntly, Mr. Zhang just practiced Tai Chi for him, and it was not even a "teaching".
If Xu Guangling acknowledged this matter, then it was a favor. If he didn't, then it really wasn't! And even if he admitted it, it wasn't a big favor. But Xu Guangling went to report it anyway.
By doing this, you won't wrong him, but you can also respond to his kindness a little.
This is why Xu Guangling did this. Why not do the best of both worlds?
He was once in darkness, or coldness, so in fact, Xu Guangling was extremely sensitive to every good intention from the outside. In the past, because of the coldness and darkness, he rejected many good intentions, but now, he will
Try to be as open as possible.
For example, Mr. Zhang, judging from his performance yesterday, is quite a good person and has the air of an elder. So it is not a bad idea for Xu Guangling to really regard him as an elder and get along with him as a junior.
Don't think about it.
Of course, this is actually just a small matter.
It is yet to be seen whether there will be further involvement between the two. - Perhaps like many travelers in the past, after meeting each other for the first time, they only remain in the memory and then become pure strangers.
