The use of magic made him feel a little depressed. He leaned against a nearby tree and began to meditate briefly.
The Stone of Ice and Snow Goddess is worthy of being the top ice gem. In just one hour, it helped Nian Bing recover a small amount of ice mana. The process from consumption to recovery, coupled with last night's meditation, made him
There has been a slight improvement in mana.
Cha Ji had just made lunch and was standing in front of the wooden house, moving his somewhat stiff body. He felt a little strange, why did Nian Bing not come back after being away for so long? Could he really use that ax to chop wood? Impossible.
I asked him to bring the axe, just to see how long it would take for the child to come back. The longer it takes, the longer he is thinking about how to chop down the tree. A person who is good at thinking will have a better understanding of dishes when he is a chef.
The better it will be, this can be regarded as a simple test for Nian Bing by Cha Ji. But he has been there for more than two hours, and the sun has already hung high in the sky, which makes Cha Ji feel a little anxious.
Just as Chaji was about to go out to look for Nian Bing, a clear voice sounded, "Master, I'm back. Do you think there is enough firewood?"
Nian Bing walked out of the peach blossom forest sweating profusely. He tied seven or eight peach branches to the big ax with vines in the forest and dragged them back. The weight obviously gave him a lot of load. As he spoke,
He seemed a little breathless.
"Did you really chop wood? Can you handle the ax?" Cha Ji said in surprise.
Nian Bing blushed and said: "No, I used magic to chop these back, but my magic is relatively weak. After I recovered from the chop, I saw the sun rising in the sky. It was almost noon, so I came back first.
, I’ll go again in the afternoon.”
Cha Ji's heart moved, "What magic did you use? Fire magic can cut wood? You don't want to burn this place down, do you?"
"Of course not? I cut it with an ice knife. Look, the ice element! I beg you, condense it into a sharp giant blade and cut off the bonds and shackles of the world." As the light flickered, a nearly transparent ice knife appeared.
In front of him.
"Ah! Do you know two types of magic?" Cha Ji's eyes almost sparkled. He is not a magician. Naturally, he doesn't know that ice magic and fire magic cannot be practiced together. He only thinks that he has picked a treasure. "
Ice, great. Ice can also be used in food. It seems that my teachings to you need to be changed. If ice and fire are used properly, the dishes you make will... Okay, let's go.
, let’s go eat first.”
The Chinese meal was not sumptuous, with only two dishes and ordinary rice. However, how could the dishes made by Cha Ji be bad? This meal, Nian Bing ate even more deliciously. Ever since he and his father wandered around the mainland
This was the first time since then that he had eaten so steadily. His stomach was so satisfied that his little face looked flushed.
"How was it? How do you feel?" Seeing that Nian Bing had finished eating, Chaji asked hurriedly.
"It's delicious, it's really delicious." Nian Bing said from the bottom of his heart.
Cha Ji stared at him dumbfounded, "Is this the sentence again?"
"Wow, I forgot. Maybe I used magic to chop wood just now and exhausted my mental energy too much. Master, I will definitely remember it tonight."
Cha Ji looked at Nian Bing speechlessly, almost ran away, snorted and said: "I forgive you this time, it's just three things."
Nian Bing chuckled and said: "Master, don't be angry. In fact, I feel it this time. Although I don't know what your two dishes are, they taste fresh and salty, and they have a fragrant aftertaste. They taste crisp."
It’s crispy and feels very comfortable. And it’s still warm in your stomach after you eat it.”
Cha Ji said angrily: "That's all? I spent a long time in vain. Do you know why they are so delicious? Ordinary people make vegetables by just adding oil first, then adding green onion and ginger to the pot after the oil is hot.
, then add the green vegetables and stir-fry, and finally add the seasonings and take it out of the pot. The reason why the vegetables I stir-fry are delicious is the first ingredient. I use the freshest vegetables, right after they are picked from the forest.
Put it in the pot. Secondly, I didn’t use oil, so you won’t feel greasy. If ordinary people don’t use oil, I’m afraid the vegetables won’t be able to be fried, but I can use water instead because I add special ingredients to the water.
There are some medicines in it. After mixing, this water can not only prevent the vegetables from sticking to the pot, but also make the vegetables more fragrant and sweet. At the same time, the heat is very important when stir-frying. It often only takes a moment for the flavor to come out.
It’s completely different. You have to remember that no matter what kind of food it is, if you want it to taste good, you must bring out its original taste. Do you understand?”
Nian Bing said with some confusion: "Teacher, is it too early for you to tell me this? You should do it step by step."
Cha Ji said: "I just want you to know first that delicious food naturally has a reason for being delicious. Okay, you go and take a nap and start chopping firewood in the afternoon. There is a hatchet under the corner on the left side of the kitchen. That is your
If you want to use it, you are not allowed to use magic to chop wood or chop wood in the future. Do you understand? That is a complete waste. Magic must be used at the most critical time when cooking to reflect its value. If only I knew magic, how great it would be!
"
From this day on, Nian Bing lived an orderly life. He got up early every morning and simply tidied up the bedroom and kitchen. Then he had breakfast and listened to Cha Ji's lecture on cooking. Cha Ji didn't seem to be in a hurry to teach him.
In actual operation, he just explained to him carefully the knowledge that various chefs need to master. The second thing is to chop wood. Chopping wood is not difficult, but splitting wood is difficult. Nian Bing only learned about it after Chaji's guidance.
, when splitting firewood, you need to look at the grain of the wood. Different grains mean different splitting directions. It is not easy to split the firewood evenly. Lunch is the same as breakfast, except for expressing your feelings about the dishes Cha Ji made.
In addition, I listened to Cha Ji’s story that he also chopped firewood in the afternoon. Cha Ji did not ask him to chop a certain amount, but asked him to chop the wood as thin as possible. After dinner, after listening to Cha Ji’s story, I read
Bing went back to his room to meditate. Meditation is not only the best way to cultivate magic power, but it is also the best way to rest.
Time passed day by day, and Nian Bing finally realized what the process of going from thin to fat was. Although he kept chopping firewood every day, he did not exercise much. In addition, Cha Ji cooked different kinds of food for him, and every time
The meals were supplemented with some polygonatum, ginseng and other supplements picked from the forest. Nian Bing's body was as if blown by air, and it rapidly developed horizontally from its original thinness. Of course, his body also grew a lot taller due to the nourishment of nutrients.
But compared with the weight, it is somewhat disproportionate.
A year later, the originally handsome child disappeared. No matter where he looked, Nian Bing's body looked like a ball. When Nian Bing asked Cha Ji if he was too fat, Cha Ji just told him that he would lose weight in the future.
of.
"Master, do I have to chop wood today? I'm already chopping very finely now!" Nian Bing ran to Chaji's room and said with some dissatisfaction.
"Chop, keep on chopping, you're still far behind." Cha Ji didn't look at him, lying on the bed and turning over. Since Nian Bing came, he has become much more relaxed. He doesn't have to do all the rough work by himself, and only needs to do it every day.
It is enough to cook three meals for Nian Bing.
"But, master, when will I finish chopping?" Chopping firewood every day, for a full year, I'm afraid no one can bear it anymore.
"Finished? It's easy! You are indeed chopping fine enough now, but it is not even enough. When you can chop all the firewood wires to the same thickness, then it will be finished." Chaji was not in a hurry at all, he chirped twice.
He closed his mouth and continued to sleep as he returned to his cage.
Evenly, these two words reminded Nian Bing of the magic power in his body. With the help of the Stone of Ice and Snow Goddess and the Stone of Fire God, his magic has improved rapidly over the past year. Now he understands why his father
He was able to become a mage at the age of only thirty-seven, probably because of the Stone of Fire God. However, the problem was also placed in front of him. At the beginning, he only relied on superficial feelings to feel that half of his body was
The cold half of the body is hot, but now, the temperature of the two sides of the body is obviously different. The left body is immersed in water and can even create ice water, while the right body is as hot as a high fever. One cold and one hot often makes Nian Bing dizzy.
The feeling of dizziness. Especially when he used magic, resulting in uneven magic power on both sides, this feeling became more obvious. Therefore, when he used magic again, if he used an ice magic, he would almost have to use an equal one.
The water magic requires that the magic power consumption is exactly the same so that it will not be affected.
Nian Bing did not tell Cha Ji about this situation. In order to take revenge, he knew that he might be in danger if he continued like this, but he still practiced without hesitation. He believed that as long as his magic power could be maintained in a uniform state, there would be no problems.
, but is this really the case? I’m afraid even the Divine Adventist can’t give him the answer. After all, no one has taken the risk to practice two completely opposite magics now.
Helplessly, he walked to the yard, pulled up the small wooden stool and sat down. He took the hatchet with his left hand and placed the firewood in front of him with his right hand. When the hatchet was handed over to his right hand, Nian Bing's eyes changed and became extremely solid.
His mind was completely focused on the firewood in front of him. The texture of the firewood was clearly scanned in his mind. He did not move, but quietly observed the firewood. Cha Ji taught him that only when the knife is used under the most suitable circumstances can the best result be achieved.
The most suitable situation for a good effect is the moment when he completely masters the wood in front of him.
The hand was turned, the knife was moved, and eight cuts were made in succession, like clouds and flowing water, without any drag. The firewood still stood there without any movement, and the sharp hatchet reflected the metallic luster in the sunlight.
