…
The snow mountain is Li Sui'an's retreat place.
It's quiet, spacious and free here.
There are no other concerns and no hidden tricks.
After fishing in the ice cave last time, Li Sui'an fell in love with the feeling of practicing in the snowy mountains.
In fact, he is not particularly obsessed with fishing. He is not a senior or crazy fisherman.
But fishing was indeed a sport he loved in his previous life.
Whenever I have been busy working for a long time, and when I have a rare holiday, I will drive to the countryside alone and find a beautiful waterside. I can be alone and quiet all day long.
When the fish is caught on the hook, after a struggle, it is pulled ashore, it is indeed a great sense of accomplishment.
What's more, he still has the [Fishing] skill in this life, so even to increase his skill proficiency, he has to pick up the skill of fishing again.
That night, Lao He lived up to everyone's expectations.
Successfully caught a dragon carp weighing over a hundred kilograms.
"Brother, you are in for a treat. I rarely cook, so today I will let you try twelve ways to eat fish."
Lao He smiled and said: "Haha, I'll wait and see."
"Just bother me to light the fire."
The stove has been set up and the chef is waiting to take his place.
Li Sui'an immediately made a Chinese-style fish feast based on the fish.
An ancestral kitchen knife flies up and down to remove scales, skin, internal organs, slice meat, and debone in one go.
It would take a lot of effort for an ordinary person to do a hundred kilograms of high-quality monster fish without any physical strength.
Li Sui'an does it more simply and efficiently than others.
【Psychic Control】can’t help much in battle, but it is like a fish in water in life.
All kinds of delicate work are difficult to do by hand, but the power of mind can be meticulous and easy to control.
The first dish is undoubtedly the fish head.
Remove the teeth, marinate and add various condiments to make a fish head casserole.
Then he scraped the fish flesh, minced the fish paste, used his mental power in the air to force the final shape, and fried the golden fish paste cake.
Because he had considered in advance that he might stay for a long time on this trip, even though he had the magical skill of [Space Escape·No Distance], Li Sui'an couldn't run home every time, so he would naturally make various preparations. Of course, he would also have to do things such as eating.
The belt is sufficient and complete.
Preparing for this is also very simple. It is enough to find He Dadang in the front building and ask for a few kitchen supplies.
The third and fourth dishes are to use glutinous rice and fish meat to make a pearl fish ball. Then use pure fish balls to make a bowl of seaweed and fish ball soup.
Dragon carp is full of treasures all over its body, and its skin is also a dish.
Together with some local raw melons, make a cold fish skin dish.
Fish scales cannot be wasted. After deep-frying, add chives, salt, sugar, chili powder, and snow bamboo cream to make fish scale potato chips.
The fish tail is combined with two kinds of chili peppers to make a mandarin duck paddling.
Fish belly with ginger and green onions, boiled fish fillets, sour fish offal, salt and pepper fish bones, spicy fish diced.
Twelve dishes like this are packed to the brim.
【Cooking Skill +150.】
The wine glasses were filled, the table was set, and the tablecloth was spread.
Looking at the dazzling array of whole fish feasts and such exquisite and exquisite ways of eating in the wild, Lao He really grinned when he ate them.
He used to go fishing, and when he was hungry, he could just eat a bite, but he had never been so particular about food.
The same fish, in Li Sui'an's hands, was transformed into delicious food.
Compared with what I have eaten before, how is it different from pig food?
Just for this dinner, he identified Li Sui'an as his little brother.
You were enjoying your time, and more than a month passed in the blink of an eye.
My life for more than a month has been really comfortable and fulfilling.
[Fishing] skill has been upgraded to LV5 proficiency (9800/10000).
"Increase your fishing experience and increase your chance of catching high-quality fish. At the current level, for every fish you catch, you can steal 9% of its health."
Fishing skills have also become the highest-level skills among all Li Sui'an's current life skills.
There are really countless treasures in the waters of Gein.
The fish here have no sense of alertness at all. As long as the bait is thrown to their mouths, they will bite it in one bite.
More greedy than a foodie deer.
Of course, Li Sui'an's fishing journey was not all smooth sailing.
There is a big difference between the monster fish and the spirit beast fish.
At least it is much more difficult to catch than the stupid pig fish.
Still remember the second day of official fishing——
Li Sui'an chose a good location, and soon big fish were biting the hook one after another.
But when he tried to pull it ashore, it unhooked without any accident.
"Why is this?" He was a little confused.
"Brother, something is wrong."
Lao He came over in his free time and said: "Your martial arts talent is definitely much better than mine, and your future will definitely be more promising than mine. At best, I, Lao He, will only be in a small state of trance in this life, and I won't be able to hold on to the elixir until I die."
Success. But it doesn't mean that my life has been wasted."
"What do you think fishing is? Just swing the hook down, the fish bites, and then pull it up again?"
Li Sui'an asked doubtfully: "Isn't that so?"
He used to go even further, using a boning knife as a fishhook, swinging the knife out, penetrating the body of the pigfish, and then pulling it up.
This is how the level of fishing LV3 is obtained.
Every pig and fish is given a lot of experience.
Lao He said: "Don't think about catching monster fish too simply. You are just trying to catch ordinary fish. Most of the people living in the Tianchi Lake in this snow-capped mountain are monsters. If you want to catch monster fish,
You have to have the thought of fighting monsters to be able to catch them."
Li Sui'an asked: "How to do it?"
"I can't go into the water and have a fight with it."
Lao He laughed, with a bit of pride on his face. This was probably one of the few things in his life that made him proud.
He looked at Li Sui'an, his face seemed to be shining, and he said loudly and proudly: "I haven't achieved much in my life, but I thought that I had figured out this 'Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand thread of fish
Give it to you."
"Thank you very much, brother."
Li Sui'an smiled and didn't pay much attention.
I thought this was just a way to use Qi Jin.
This is indeed the case, and the entry barrier is not low.
You cannot practice it unless you enter the divine realm, because it involves the manipulation of mental power.
The Thousand Threads Fishing method is about precise control of one's own energy, turning the energy into silk, condensing the silk threads to make a net, condensing multiple strands of energy into one line, like a wire rope, making this energy both agile and flexible
And very tough.
Let the thread of Qi Jin extend along the fishing line, then the fishing line, fishing rod, and fishhook can be turned into your own weapons.
According to Lao He's idea, if you can condense ten qi-jin threads and one or more, and weave the threads into a web, you will be considered an introduction to exercise.
If you can condense ten qi-jin threads and one strand, and weave the threads into a net, that's already a small achievement.
If you can condense ten strands of energy into one thread, control it to the smallest detail, and even weave it into a web, that would be a great achievement.
If one day, one can condense and compress thousands, ten thousand, or even one hundred thousand, hundreds of millions of qi-strength threads together with one, and still be able to control them freely...
No matter how sharp the magic weapon is, it cannot cut off a fishing line.
However, to this day, even the founder of this technique, Lao He himself, can only condense and compress hundreds of Qi Jin silk threads into one.
Li Sui'an groped his chin and thought: "It is indeed very demanding, and this kind of meticulous control method is very helpful for the spiritual cultivation of Qi Jin."
He became interested.
Try it now.
He tried to follow the method taught by Lao He, extracted a trace of energy, and wanted to control it carefully... The silk thread suddenly broke.
It seems that it is not so easy to accomplish.
After a lot of effort, I finally succeeded in extracting a thread of Qi Jin.
Then, it is necessary to condense more qi-jin threads into one, which is not so easy to achieve.
Li Sui'an thought of the steel wire rope again. The steel wire rope is first twisted into strands from multiple layers of steel wire, and then a certain number of strands are twisted into a spiral rope with the rope core as the center.
First there is a rope core.
After finding the right direction, Li Sui'an's operation became much smoother.
After trying it for a while, he finally used his strong mental power to control this qi-strength thread to shuttle freely through the air and weave it into a web.
The moment when the web is woven.
Many unusual insights suddenly came to my mind.
He was all too familiar with this sudden surge of insight, and he immediately opened the virtual panel.
I thought it was just a very common set of energy control techniques.
But on the martial arts panel, it clearly showed that he had learned a new martial skill, "Thousand Thousand Thousand Threads Fishing Technique".
Then it dawned on me.
This set of techniques has a complete basic training method, as well as promising and far-sighted advanced ideas.
Since you can fight underwater monsters with a fishing rod, why can't you fight people with a fishing rod?
Isn't this just a martial art?
[Thousand Thousand Thousand Threads Fishing Method: LV1 Beginner’s first practice (100/10000) can increase the essence of energy and spiritual training by 10%, and improve the control of energy by 10%. 】
Pretty good martial arts.
...how should I put it?
You need to enter the divine realm to learn. After learning, it only strengthens the control of energy.
Under normal circumstances, since a warrior has entered the divine realm, the qi in his Dantian will naturally become spiritual and natural, and even transform acquired nature into innateness. Fighting often relies on the majestic innate qi to end the battle. It even uses qi to communicate with the source of heaven and earth.
Qi, forming Gang Qi for fighting.
This kind of martial arts that is more realistic in details probably won't be favored by many people.
But Li Sui'an happened to be a different kind of person.
But he also likes fishing, so naturally he loves this martial art.
But he thought wrong.
"Thousand Threads of Fishing" is more important than imagined.
Let’s not mention the help for martial arts.
As long as Li Sui'an wants to catch monster fish and get the skill special effect bonus brought by the [Fishing] skill, he must practice the level of "Thousand Threads Fishing Method".
So in the next few days, Li Sui'an was able to compete with this martial art.
But don't think that he is immersed in hard work.
Li Sui'an's days of "retreat" in the snowy mountains were more fulfilling than he imagined.
Every evening, on the pretext of wandering around the area, I would go directly back to the Black Stone Collection and purchase the monster bones and blood that had been accumulated for the whole day.
Throw it into the spring and turn into soil.
By the way, care about farmland and spiritual rice, and become a farmer.
After nightfall, I simply went back to my home on Liufeng Street and had a nice foot soak.
Chat with Uncle Fu, check Xiaolu’s homework, and introduce Xiao Xiaoci to everyone.
Encourage Xiao Xiaoci to get out of the past and integrate into the new life. Even if she shows up, she only wears makeup. She used to wear a veil all year round and appeared as Baozi Xishi. Now her real appearance is still a little bit different from Baozi Xishi.
The difference is that if you go out openly like this, others may not be able to find out the clues.
If you put on makeup again, you can add another layer of insurance.
Late at night, Li Sui'an returned to the lakeside hut and meditated on spiritual practice in the darkness.
During the day, he would do some physical exercises and exercises while basking in the sun.
Occasionally, I also walk around and enter the glacier to practice my skills.
At the same time, he studied fishing and martial arts.
It was not until three days later that he successfully condensed ten threads of energy and one stream, and the "Thousand Threads Fishing Technique" was successfully upgraded to LV2.
[Inexhaustible fishing method: LV2 half-baked (100/10000), which can increase the essence of energy and spiritual training by 30%, and improve the control of energy by 30%.]
The efficiency is greatly increased in an instant.
And finally you can catch monster fish.
On the day of the skill upgrade, Li Sui'an successfully caught a three-tailed red carp.
Even though this is only a ninth-grade monster fish, the added experience is only 15 points, which is completely incomparable with the pig fish.
He still almost jumped up with excitement.
Under the control of Qi Jin, the fishing line turned into a swimming dragon in the water, dexterously entangled and fighting with the three-tailed red carp.
He even used knife skills to finally catch it.
During this process, he not only practiced his [Fishing] skills, but also practiced the "Thousand Thousand Threads Fishing Technique" and knife skills. The process was really not easy.
It is precisely because of this that the moment of harvest brings a full sense of accomplishment.
In comparison, there is really no experience in fishing for pigfish.
Moreover, when he successfully caught the first monster fish, the sudden surge of energy and blood almost made him unable to survive.
Sure enough, you still have to catch monster fish.
Although the pig fish is a spiritual beast, it has only a small size and how much energy and blood it can have.
With practical experience, I have made rapid progress since then, and the countless fishing methods have successfully condensed two strands of energy, three strands, four strands... until ten strands.
Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Threads fishing method has also been upgraded again.
[Inexhaustible fishing method: LV3 has a slight success (100/10000), which can increase the essence of Qi and spiritual training by 50%, and improve the control of Qi by 50%.]
He started catching eighth-grade monster fish.
As more and more monster fish were caught, the power of Qi and blood in Li Sui'an's body began to gather more and more. His Qi and blood were like smoke, and his body became stronger and stronger.
The energy and blood are too abundant and the vitality is strong, even the "Dragon Elephant Gang Qi Shield" has made great progress.
There was an interlude during this period.
That is when the blood sprout rice in the spiritual field is ripe.
The blood sprout rice plant looks like corn when it grows up.
Each blood sprout rice can grow to a height of seven or eight meters, like a small tree.
There are at least seventy or eighty grains of rice hanging on each plant.
After ripening, each grain of blood sprout rice is three inches and three centimeters long, shaped like a spinning shuttle, and crystal clear, like the finest red jade.
Compared with the blood sprout rice I got from Cheng Lin last time, it has more vivid and bright red blood.
There were hundreds of blood sprout rice plants, and Li Sui'an picked more than 8,000 grains of rice.
After being picked, the blood sprout rice plants will rot quickly and will not regenerate.
Li Sui'an shoveled them all, threw them into the spring water, and turned them into fertilizer again to nourish the spiritual field.
Then, relying on the accumulation during this period, the spiritual field was expanded to seven acres again, all of which were planted with blood sprout rice.
When I planted it for the first time, I didn’t have much experience.
Who would have thought it would grow so big when mature?
It is still a little crowded, and many branches are squeezed together, which inadvertently reduces the yield.
One acre of land is about 660 square meters, and the roots of blood sprout rice plants need sufficient space to grow. Generally, blood sprout rice can be planted at a distance of 3 to 3 square meters, and 70 to 75 blood sprout rice plants can be planted in one acre of land.
.
If blood sprout rice is planted at intervals of 3 to 4 square meters, 50 to 55 plants can be planted per acre, and 80 to 85 plants can be planted at intervals of 2 to 4 square meters.
This time we simply planted fifty plants per acre.
In addition to the two acres of bamboo forest, the remaining seven acres plus the clearing of old plants, the resulting one acre of land is eight acres of land with 400 trees.
This is a big challenge, which means that you need to invest more experience in taking care of the plants and artificial pollination during the flowering period. But once harvested, the results will be extremely exciting.
It’s not far away from eating blood sprout rice three meals a day.
The night of harvest.
Li Sui'an took the time to return home and treated Uncle Fu to a bowl of blood sprout rice.
After eating, his complexion improved significantly.
"Master, this rice is too precious. You should keep it for your own cultivation. It would be too wasteful for me to eat it."
Li Sui'an smiled and said: "I still have it there. If everything goes well, there may be more blood sprout rice in the future. I can eat it every day without fear of eating it up. Uncle Fu, you don't have to worry about me."
"I see. Master, there is something I want to discuss with you?"
Li Sui'an asked strangely, "What's the matter?"
Fu Qingnian said: "Young master, I am getting old and I don't think I can live a good life for a few years. Xiao is quick-thinking and knowledgeable about books and etiquette. Although she was born poor, she is a motivated person. Since the young master has brought her into the family, I think
Now, can you let her enter the restaurant and learn from the old man how to be a bookkeeper?"
Mr. Xiao?
Only then did Li Sui'an realize that he was talking about the widow Xiao.
"Is she willing to learn about this matter?"
"I have talked with her. She is willing to learn and wants to find something to do, but she is worried that people will still recognize her after putting on makeup."
Li Sui'an thought for a while and said: "This matter is not urgent for the time being. After a while, we will go to Beidu to open a branch. Kunpeng City, just don't let her come forward for the time being. Uncle Fu, you can teach her in private how to control a family."
Restaurant.”
"ah……"
Fu Qingnian opened his mouth wide.
Li Sui'an didn't explain much.
Leave some blood sprout rice to be cooked daily by Narcissus for Uncle Fu to eat.
Now there is not enough blood sprout rice to give everyone the luxury to eat. Even though the little deer drooled with greed, she was not allowed to take a bite.
…
time flies.
Unknowingly, Li Sui'an and Lao He had been staying by the Snow Mountain Tianchi for more than a month.
Lao He, who originally only wanted to fish for ten and a half days, had no intention of leaving this time.
Until Li Sui'an proposed to leave, he still had more to say.
Li Sui'an packed up the things in the cabin, said goodbye to Lao He, opened a void portal that night, and returned home in one step.
Many of the monster fish caught were also sent to Ruyifang's kitchen.
He came back this time because the first batch of Chunfeng tribute wine in the brewery was about to enter the fermentation stage.
This level is a top priority and cannot be left idle as before.
He must follow the entire process to ensure that every link is in place and nothing goes wrong.
The fermentation of Zui Chunfeng adopts the unique fermentation methods of Lao Li's "pit running cycle", "serial continuous fermentation", and "artificial pit mud rapid aging".
The process is more complex.
However, although the preparation is complicated, we dare not save labor, and although the taste is expensive, we dare not reduce material resources.
In a different world without technology and hard work, winemakers can only rely on inheritance from generation to generation to have good wine on people's tables.
…
On this day, the governor suddenly summoned him.
"How long does it take for the first batch of drunk spring breeze to brew?"
"Sir, the brewing cycle of Zui Chunfeng needs at least half a year to ensure the quality."
This cycle is very long.
However, if the fermentation period is too long, although the quality of the wine is very good, the cost of winemaking will also increase.
Moreover, even freshly roasted liquor contains low-boiling impurities such as aldehydes and sulfides, which can inevitably cause it to be spicy, harsh, and irritating.
It needs to be stored for at least half a year before the finished product can be prepared for filling.
Through aging and storage, physical and chemical reactions such as oxidation, reduction, and lipidation of the wine itself effectively eliminate low-boiling impurities in the wine, condensing acetaldehyde, reducing the spicy taste, making the wine soft and soft, and increasing the aroma.
As the aging time increases, the natural fusion of water molecules and wine molecules is also enhanced.
This is what people say: "Wine is fragrant with age".
The longer the aging time, the better, but few people know why?
In addition to the reasons mentioned above, part of the reason lies in the brewing process.
"Can the time be shortened?" Yuan Chunfang asked.
Li Sui'an was stunned.
"Sir, Zui Chunfeng is a Maotai-flavor liquor. The brewing process is complicated. During the brewing process, at least nine times of cooking, eight times of fermentation, seven times of extracting wine, and two times of feeding are required. The brewing cycle is compressed to half a year, which is actually very fast.
Already."
If you were to change your past life and want to brew such a fine wine, the time would be measured in years.
In this world, the source of heaven and earth is rich, the fermentation rules have been changed, and the brewing time has actually been compressed a lot.
Yuan Chunfang frowned, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, you continue to brew according to the recipe. But you need to take out your inventory and contribute some of it first."
Li Sui'an thought for a while and asked, "Sir, I wonder how much tribute will be needed this time?"
"At least five thousand barrels, is that enough?"
"Sir, those are all aged wine..."
Yuan Chunfang waved his hand and said: "This is a government procurement, and you will not suffer any loss."
Li Sui'an had nothing to say, "In that case, my subordinates will prepare immediately after returning."
"Yes. Prepare it as soon as possible."
The need was so urgent that Li Sui'an had no choice but to use puree.
