What comes out of the Yin Qi of the earth's veins is not a dish, but the same condiments as ghost dew and thirteen incense.
The name of this new seasoning is: Yin vinegar.
As you can tell from the name, this is a kind of vinegar made with Yin Qi as the main ingredient.
Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The Fujianese who made the Cantonese people ecstatic did not come, but the jealousy that made the Shanxi people ecstatic came first. I wonder when will there be another old baby who made the old Beijing blocked?
After getting rid of the random thoughts in his mind, Qin Shaoyou checked the mysterious recipe and recorded the method of making Yin vinegar:
Yin vinegar is very similar to ordinary vinegar. It uses sorghum, Daqu and other ingredients as raw materials. After grinding, add bran and water as auxiliary ingredients, put it into a steamer and cook it, and then mix the cooked raw materials with koji and ferment it.
.
After seventy-seven forty-nine hours, you will be able to brew Yin Vinegar that is as colored as amber.
It's just that compared to ordinary vinegar production, Yin vinegar has an extra Yin flavor in the ingredients used.
Not only does Yin Qi need to be added during cooking, but Yin Qi needs to be injected into every subsequent step such as mixing the koji and fermenting.
Without Yin Qi, Yin vinegar lacks soul and can only be regarded as ordinary vinegar.
Although the production process is somewhat complicated, the taste and effect of Yin vinegar are not simple.
According to the introduction in the mysterious recipe, Yin vinegar has a soft sour taste, mellow and sweet flavor, and can be used in the cooking of various ghost and ghost dishes to enhance the taste and effect.
Even for monster meat that is not included in the mysterious recipe records, Yin vinegar can be added to enhance the effect during the regular cooking process.
Seeing this, Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but feel his heart move.
Now, the daily meals of the night watchmen under his command mainly consist of ordinary meals and monster meat.
The delicacies of demons and ghosts can only be given to them as extra meals, and there is no way for them to eat as much as they want.
It's not that Qin Shaoyou is stingy, but that he is restricted by the ingredients.
There are only a few dishes such as demon bone soup and wolf demon blood tofu. Because the ingredients are sufficient, the night watchmen under his command can eat more.
But just drinking soup and eating blood tofu can’t fill your stomach!
The rest, let alone casserole ghost pots, Buddha jumping over the wall, etc., even fried ghosts, oil ghost cakes, duhua tea, etc., cannot be supplied every day because of the lack of ghost souls.
Now that Yin vinegar is available, it can be added to the monster meat that the night watchers eat every day to enhance the effect of monster meat on increasing blood energy.
Not to mention that long-term use of this Yin vinegar has the effect of making people not afraid of Yin energy.
Yin Qi not only depletes people's Yang Qi and weakens their combat effectiveness, but when it accumulates to a certain level, it can also affect people's sanity, causing them to hallucinate and go crazy.
Previously, in the nine-story underground palace, there were some night watchmen with lower cultivation levels. Their energy was dissipated by the evil energy accumulated in the underground palace, and they were carried away. They almost went crazy and attacked their companions around them.
Fortunately, Cui Youguo's evil-fighting spells and Shan Daonian's strengthening medicines were able to help these night watchmen force out their yin energy and regain their consciousness.
Now that there is Yin vinegar, as long as the output can be guaranteed and the night watchmen under his command can take it for a long time, then if he enters an area with strong Yin energy like the nine-story underground palace in the future, Qin Shaoyou will not have to worry about the people under his command being affected by Yin energy.
Don't be distracted from taking care of them.
And this Yin vinegar can also be consumed by ordinary people.
Qin Shaoyou thought that after the Yin vinegar was brewed, he would have to send someone to deliver a batch to his parents and third sister's family.
With the strength of the third brother-in-law, there may be no need for jealousy, but for the parents, the third sister and Xue Xiaobao, the jealousy is a good thing.
Taking it for a long time can improve their resistance to Yin Qi. Even if they encounter evil spirits in the future, they can rely on this resistance to avoid harm. They will not be like ordinary people who are contaminated with a little Yin Qi.
It's bad luck to get sick.
And Su Jianqing.
That girl likes to eat sour and sweet things. This Yin vinegar not only tastes sour and sweet, but is also made from Yin energy. Maybe it is what she likes.
However, Qin Shaoyou suddenly remembered a very crucial thing: he did not collect Yin Qi!
Although the mysterious recipe can absorb some yin energy on its own, the quantity is limited and cannot satisfy the long-term consumption of so many people.
He must find a way to collect more Yin Qi.
Qin Shaoyou quickly called Cui Yougui to him and asked in a low voice: "Senior Brother Cui, after that earth vein was nailed, did its Yin Qi dissipate, or does it still exist?"
Cui Youyou didn't understand why Qin Shaoyou asked this, but he still replied: "The Yin Qi in the earth's veins will not disappear directly, but will be slowly neutralized by the peach wood nails that communicate with the Jiuyao star power and become part of the earth's power. Mr. Qin
Qi, if you have extra money, you might as well buy more fields around the county. I guarantee that no matter what you plant, you will have a good harvest."
Qin Shaoyou had no interest in buying land. Hearing that the Yin Qi in the earth veins did not disappear directly, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "So is there any way to collect the Yin Qi in the earth veins?"
"There is a way, but what do you do by collecting the Yin Qi of the earth veins?" Cui Youying asked suspiciously.
Qin Shaoyou was just waiting for an excuse to fool him, but Cui Yougui came up with an excuse for him:
"I understand, you want to collect Yin Qi so that Qiu Rong can absorb it and practice, right? For ghosts like Qiu Rong, Yin Qi is indeed a very good cultivation material. And there are peach wood nails driven into the earth veins.
, eliminates the evil energy in the Yin Qi, and there is no need to worry that Qiurong will become possessed after absorbing it."
"Yes, that's right."
Qin Shaoyou compared it in his mind and found that the reason that Senior Brother Cui came up with was more suitable. He gave him a thumbs up and praised him sincerely: "This idea of mine was immediately rejected by Senior Brother Cui."
I’ve seen through it, you’re really awesome.”
"Haha, this is natural."
Cui Youyou smiled proudly, and then said: "It is not difficult to collect Yin Qi. Later I will escape to the earth veins and set up an air-entraining magic circle to introduce the Yin Qi from the earth veins into the Demon Suppression Department.
Anyway, we have the statue of Jiutian Demon Patriarch in the Demon Suppression Department watching over us, so we are not afraid that these yin energy will cause trouble."
"That's great, thank you for your hard work, Brother Cui." Qin Shaoyou was overjoyed.
Cui Youyou waved his hand and said in a very pretentious manner: "It's not hard. This kind of thing is very difficult for others, but for me, it's a piece of cake."
"Awesome!" Qin Shaoyou continued to praise.
Anyway, saying good things doesn't cost money, and it can also increase the motivation of Senior Brother Cui, a tool man, so why not do it.
Sure enough, Cui Yougui, who couldn't hear anyone's praise, suddenly felt very motivated.
He couldn't wait to go back to the Demon Suppression Division to get the materials immediately, and then escape to the ground to set up the air-entraining formation, so that Qin Shaoyou could see what he was capable of.
At the same time, he also hinted to Qin Shaoyou: If you can speak, speak more.
But Qin Shaoyou did not continue to praise him, but glanced at Zhu Xiucai next to him. The latter understood what he meant, and immediately figured out what his boss meant, and started to help his boss praise Cui Yougui.
Cui Yougui was a little confused.
How come this person is subcontracting?
However, Zhu Xiucai was very eloquent and flattered Senior Brother Cui so much that he was so happy that he didn't mind. He even praised Zhu Xiucai in return: "Xiucai, you are not bad either. You are worthy of being the Demon-Suppressing Si Fengchu who is as famous as me."
."
Zhu Xiucai and Cui Yougui looked at each other, feeling a little bit sympathetic to each other.
However, just when the two Crouching Dragons, Phoenixes and Toads in the Demon Suppressing Department looked at Mung Bean and saw that they were right, Qin Shaoyou interrupted their heart-to-heart sympathy with a confused look.
"Xiucai, please step aside. I have a few words to ask Senior Brother Cui."
Although Zhu Xiucai was full of curiosity, he didn't say much. He nodded and said "yes", then stepped aside and took the initiative to take away several night watchmen around him.
Cui Yougui cast a soundproof spell at Qin Shaoyou's signal, and then asked him in confusion: "What's wrong? Do you have anything else to ask?"
Qin Shaoyou didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the topic.
"Senior Brother Cui, can the Yin Qi array you mentioned attract the dragon energy in the earth's veins?"
"What do you want dragon energy for?"
Cui Youguai was shocked when he heard this, and thought to himself, Qin Zongqi probably wanted to rebel, right?
But he quickly gave up this speculation.
If you want to rebel, you can't succeed just by absorbing dragon energy.
On the contrary, those who are truly capable of rebellion communicate with heaven and earth and generate their own dragon energy during the process of rebellion.
"I have never seen dragon energy, and I want to study it."
The reason Qin Shaoyou found was a bit vague.
In fact, he wanted dragon energy because the mysterious recipe also prescribed a new dish called 'Dragon-Tiger Fight' from the earth's veins.
There are two main ingredients needed for this new dish, one is dragon energy and the other is tiger energy.
When the energy of dragon and tiger come together, it can form the momentum of dragon and tiger fighting. Then add boiling oil and other substances, stir-fry over high heat in a hot pan, and you can cook the powerful dish of dragon and tiger fighting.
And this new dish can give Qin Shaoyou a new talent called [popularity].
It allows him to gain strength from the praise of the people.
This new talent gives Qin Shaoyou a feeling that it is somewhat similar to the power of faith in Incense Shinto.
There are also those wild gods and evil gods who also rely on the power of faith to practice.
It's just that [popularity] is very different from them.
The methods for wild gods and evil gods to obtain the power of faith are mostly through temptation and deception, but [popular popularity] requires Qin Shaoyou to gain the true love and praise of the people in the process of killing monsters and ghosts and protecting the country and the people.
This point is somewhat similar to the Confucian "Umbrella of All Peoples" and "Nursing Hope" and "Nursing the People's Heart".
Cui Youyou took a deep look at Qin Shaoyou, obviously not believing the explanation he gave.
Studying dragon energy? You are not a spirit watcher, so what are you doing studying this thing?
But Cui Yougui didn't ask any more questions, and just said: "The qi-drawing magic circle I set up can attract yin qi and dragon qi."
"As expected of Senior Brother Cui, he is indeed amazing!" Qin Shaoyou gave a thumbs up and praised again.
But this time, Cui Yougui was not happy with the praise. He frowned and said angrily: "Why are you the same as Monk Ma when you praise people's abilities? You only have a few words here and there? You can't learn from it."
A scholar can quote scriptures and praise others for a long time without repeating the same thing?"
Qin Shaoyou smiled and threatened: "It's good if I can praise you, but don't be too arrogant. Believe it or not, I can teach Master Zhang what you said before?"
"I was wrong." Cui Youyou gave in decisively, made a 'goodbye' gesture with his fists, and was about to walk away.
But Qin Shaoyou did not let him go, but asked again: "Senior Brother Cui, I have another question. Do you know where the tiger energy is?"
"The dragon's energy comes from the emperor, and the tiger's energy naturally comes from the fierce generals." Cui Youguo stopped and replied.
After glancing at Qin Shaoyou, he continued: "What, you want to get tiger energy? I have a way."
"What can I do?" Qin Shaoyou asked quickly.
Cui Youguo said: "One way is to find the ancestral graves of a certain military general family and steal their family's tiger energy with Feng Shui array; the other way is to directly kill a certain fierce general and take away the tiger energy from him."
Qin Shaoyou frowned when he heard this.
These two methods sound unreliable, right?
The ancestral graves of a family of military commanders must be closely protected. It would be extremely difficult to sneak in and set up a Feng Shui circle.
Not to mention that this kind of thing is really despicable and extremely offending. Once you do it, you will have a deadly feud with this family of military commanders.
As for killing the fierce generals, it's equally difficult.
Because Qin Shaoyou is the night watchman of the Demon Suppression Division and not a general of the frontier army. Where can he get the enemy's fierce generals to kill him?
You can't just kill your own people, right?
Unless a fierce general turns into a corpse and commits evil after death, he can fall into his hands. However, it is hard to say whether such a "fierce general" can still possess the spirit of a tiger.
"Perhaps there is tiger energy in Dongchuan Hou Shizi and the mysterious nobleman behind him? But it is not easy to kill them..."
Qin Shaoyou thought about it in his heart.
After Cui Yougui observed him for a moment, he then said: "Besides this, there are actually two ways that can help you obtain tiger energy."
Qin Shaoyou glanced at Senior Brother Cui and said helplessly: "Senior Brother Cui, can you finish your speech in one breath in the future and don't gasp like this?"
Cui Youyou laughed and didn't tell Qin Shaoyou why he did this. He just said, "Just tell me whether you want to know."
Qin Shaoyou said: "Nonsense, of course I have thought about it, please tell me quickly and don't lie."
Cui Youshen flexed his fingers and said: "One way is to train yourself to become a fierce general, so that you can be like a tiger and have a tiger spirit. You are taking the path of a martial artist, and it is not difficult to develop into a tiger general. As for the other method,
, then you need to find a general tiger girl, practice the dual cultivation method, and get the tiger energy from her body."
These two methods are pretty good, especially the last one...
Just where to find a general and tiger girl?
Qin Shaoyou shook his head secretly and temporarily gave up the idea of making a dragon-tiger fight.
You can make this dish later after you refine the tiger energy yourself or obtain the tiger energy through other methods.
Fortunately, in addition to the evil spirits and dragon-tiger fights, spider spirits, bone monsters, eagle monsters and other monsters have also introduced new dishes, which gave Qin Shaoyou some comfort.
In other words, all these monsters have become hardened, otherwise Qin Shaoyou would like to thank them, saying: Thank you for the recipe that I rewarded you with my life...
