Lushui was also called Jinsha River in later generations, and it is also a place with quite a lot of legends.
Zhao Youqian brought Shang Xiuxun and Wei Zhenzhen here for a very simple reason: to lay the foundation for Wei Zhenzhen to practice the three essentials of cooking.
Bowl ingredients, heat, knife skills!
Bowl ingredients are about how to match seasonings and spices, which is a skill that enhances the flavor of the food.
As the name suggests, knife skills are skills that are related to the handling, texture, taste, color and shape of ingredients.
Heat is the source of cooking. Without fire, it is difficult to call it cooking. Even if there are dishes such as raw vegetables, there are many supporting roles that go through the flame process in the real tasting, so heat is also the top priority. .
In addition to learning these three essentials, Wei Zhenzhen has also mastered good criminal investigation skills, which is exactly what Zhao Youqian wants to deepen.
So coming to Lushui is equivalent to coming to the origin of noodles, especially fermented noodles.
This is where Zhuge Wuhou used barbarian heads instead of real blood food to worship the river god. It can be regarded as one of the turning points for food sacrifices from barbarism to more civilized.
While practicing in this place, Zhao Youqian believed that if Wei Zhenzhen could feel the spirit of the chef who once worshiped and made the dishes, it would be of indelible benefit to her future career and lay the solid foundation for a Bai An cook.
But before starting the cooking training, the first thing Zhao Youqian had to change was... Wei Zhenzhen's rather weak physique!
Of course, this weakness is relative. For ordinary women, Wei Zhenzhen, who often does housework and even cooks, is not considered weak.
But compared to a cook who can easily rotate a thick arm chain for an hour or two, she is too thin and unable to handle many cooking techniques and even ingredients.
Zhao Youqian didn't need to use Xiantian Qi to check to know that Wei Zhenzhen's qualifications were indeed relatively poor. Even after practicing the inner cultivation method in the Tang Dynasty, he might not have the Qi sense in three to five years.
However, he is not from this world, and the method he used to enhance Wei Zhenzhen's physique is not the so-called martial arts, but a more original method of cooking people, which is the practice of rituals in the world of food!
Of course, the primary ritual techniques he taught were different from those given to Xie Wenyuan and the others.
In the world of gourmet food, because of the existence of gourmet cells, many steps are actually omitted, and you can directly start the core part of the ritual to harmonize the body and mind, communicate with the world, and even integrate into the behavior.
But Wei Zhenzhen is different. She doesn't have gourmet cells, nor does she even have much extraordinary physique.
Therefore, if she wants to learn the primary ritual, she must first sense the power and majesty in the world and sacrifice it with her heart. Then she can start to harmonize her body and mind and communicate with the world. Otherwise, even if she has learned all the movements of the primary ritual, she will not be able to do it. It's just that I learned an external skill to strengthen the body.
You may not be able to make your cooking skills take that crucial step out of the ordinary and become extraordinary.
This is the reason why she chose to come to Lushui. Wei Zhenzhen has a talent for making pasta dishes, so this place serves as a turning point for the exchange of past sacrifices. For her, she understands the spirit contained in the noodles and echoes the secrets of humanity, heaven and earth. Even the power of destiny and history can be of great help.
Of course, this is Zhao Youqian's own opinion. After all, it is another world. Whether this will be the case depends on whether Wei Zhenzhen and this world can recognize the way of sacrificial rituals.
On the bank of Lushui River, Zhao Youqian used the gourmet system of the heavens to use the power of hundreds of ghosts in all walks of life. In addition, the points system was used to exchange daily necessities. In an instant, in front of Shang Xiuxun and Wei Zhenzhen, A house was built.
And judging from the appearance, not to mention it is very ingenious, but it also surpasses the courtyards of many wealthy people.
Not to mention Wei Zhenzhen, who didn't know Zhao Yougan's details, she found it unbelievable when she saw this god-like method. Even Shang Xiuxun, who roughly knew Zhao Yougan's abilities, was shocked.
"Do you still have this ability?"
A look of surprise flashed through her beautiful eyes. Although Shang Xiuxun was a little surprised, it wasn't too strange. It was found in places like Zhutian Xiaoguan. Others were really not surprised.
"It's just a small convenience. Besides, haven't you noticed? In fact, you have also changed!"
Zhao Youqian smiled and asked the two women to go into the room to rest for a while, and then spoke to Shang Xiuxun, which made her feel a little strange.
Wei Zhenzhen, on the other hand, was stunned by the pile of furniture, kitchen utensils, and even living room furnishings she had never seen before, and ignored the exchange between the two for a while.
"What do you mean? What has changed in me?"
Shang Xiuxun was very curious. She felt that she was doing well, especially her spirits had improved a lot recently. She didn't know if it was because she spent more time with Zhao Youqian.
"Do you really think that ordinary people can continue to settle in the realm of gods and humans without having to continue to break through?"
"Because of the existence of the system of Zhutian Xiaoguan, you can continue on this road... Fortunately, your world also had such a glorious era of the system."
"You should have heard of Pre-Qin Qi Practitioners, right?!"
After casting a glance at Shang Xiuxun, Zhao Youqian finally explained why Shang Xiuxun continued to dig deeper into the realm of gods and humans.
The world of the Tang Dynasty has long since changed. In this world, martial arts are respected. However, before the era of martial arts, there was another era, that of the Qi Practitioners. The Secret of Immortality was actually the product of the Qi Practitioners.
This is why it is known as the Four Wonderful Books, but almost no one can complete the Secret of Immortality.
It’s not a system. If you don’t fail after learning, you’re lucky. Still want to successfully complete the practice? It’s simply a dream.
That is to say, after entering the realm of heaven and man, the concepts between systems have been blurred, and Shang Xiuxun can get something from the Secret of Immortality.
Instead of continuing towards the broken void at the last level of the martial arts realm.
She had already made a guess. Shang Xiuxun nodded thoughtfully, but she didn't care much about it. Instead, she looked at Wei Zhenzhen, who was still in shock, and ran to the cook who she thought would be the best in the future. He stood beside her and patted her.
"Don't be nervous. This will be your training place. You will get used to it gradually. Many things are very convenient. Come and let me teach you."
The house built by Zhao Youqian has both classic things and modern furniture, so Shang Xiuxun was not surprised. He pulled Wei Zhenzhen upstairs. Many of the things were girls' private words, but they couldn't be exposed to his face. hear.
...
Three days later, on the banks of the Lushui River, Zhao Youqian and Shang Xiuxun looked at Wei Zhenzhen, who had slowly begun to practice formally for the first time according to the primary ritual, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
After all, this is the first time this world has ever been created. What will be the outcome? Not to mention Shang Xiuxun, even Zhao Youqian is not sure. The only thing that is certain is that it will never be too bad. result.
And as Wei Zhenzhen walked step by step, the originally peaceful Lushui River suddenly became turbulent, and it seemed as if something giant was about to break out from under the rolling river water.
Even the Golden Crow in the sky was obscured by a few dark clouds...
