Chapter two hundred and sixty seventh magical recipe
The keyboard was clicking, and Lingpingan was immersed in his own world.
Tuk-tuk-tuk...
There was a knock at the door.
Lingpingan raised his head and saw An Xiaoxiao's figure.
"Come in!" He said immediately and enthusiastically.
An Xiaoxiao opened the door and walked in. Looking at Ling Ping'an, she felt blessed and said sweetly: "Mr. Ling, where are your clothes?"
Lingpingan smiled and picked up the three large bags of clothes that he had prepared long ago from under the counter and handed them over: "Thank you for your hard work!"
"You're welcome!" An Xiaoxiao picked up these clothes, felt blessed again, and then left the bookstore.
As a noncommissioned officer of the Black Guard, she has now slowly come into contact with the world of extraordinary beings.
Those powerful characters in heaven and earth, in anime and games, do exist in reality.
Fantasy is not fantasy, it is reality!
only……
She still didn't know why this place, this ordinary bookstore, was so special.
"Perhaps that Young Master Ling is a powerful hidden man living here in seclusion..." she thought.
There are many such people.
It is the tradition of the federal empire to hide in the city.
The sages and saints who hide in the busy city observe the changes in the world.
He will only interfere with the secular world unless he has to.
Therefore, there is a proverb among the people: Every five hundred years, a saint will appear.
Thinking of these, An Xiaoxiao became happy because she felt that she was doing something very glorious!
She sang cheerful pop songs and rode a small electric donkey. Opposite her, a small electric donkey of the same color came towards her.
The person riding the electric donkey was a girl about the same age as her.
She has long flowing hair and is sweet and cute.
only……
The psychic smell on the girl's body is very obvious.
Out of professional habit, An Xiaoxiao stopped the eDonkey and looked at the other person.
The other party also saw An Xiaoxiao, so he carefully stopped the eDonkey and showed a flattering smile.
"Police officer!" She handed an ID to An Xiaoxiao: "This is my registration ID!"
Obviously, she saw the emblem of the black-clad guard that only extraordinary people could see engraved on An Xiaoxiao's eDonkey with spiritual power.
An Xiaoxiao took the certificate and took a look at it.
It is indeed a registration document issued by the Federal Imperial Immigration Service.
A legitimate certified transcendent.
Michiko Chiba is registered as a legal alien of Fuso Fox Girl, and has a seal of commendation jointly stamped by multiple departments.
This shows that this fox girl has been abiding by the law in the Federal Empire for more than three years.
So, she returned it without saying anything, then got on the electric donkey and continued moving forward.
I just have a question in my mind: "Isn't it forbidden for extraordinary people to enter this place without permission?"
"Did she have permission?"
From the eDonkey's rearview mirror, An Xiaoxiao saw the Fuso Fox Girl walking into the bookstore carrying what seemed to be a takeaway food box.
She nodded: "It should be permitted..."
………………
Michiko Chiba walked into the bookstore carrying a takeaway food box.
She was used to the black-clad law enforcer she had just met.
In this country, black-clad guards have the right to check every extraordinary person or alien they encounter at any time to determine the other person's situation.
This is a bit troublesome though.
But as long as you abide by the law, there will be no problem.
And Michiko Chiba is happy to trade such trouble for safety.
In this country, she enjoys the freedom that security brings.
Safety……
The daily routine that this country takes for granted is sorely lacking in many countries.
Therefore, Chiba Michiko smiled sweetly as usual and delivered the takeout box she brought to the counter.
"Lingsang, this is the pork chop rice you wanted!"
Lingpingan took the food box and opened it. Inside was a large and fragrant pork chop, and the extra caviar was piled high. It looked golden and made people want to eat.
"Thank you so much!" Lingpingan thanked him as usual.
"By the way..." He ate caviar and said to Michiko Chiba: "Qianye-chan, are your aunt and cousin here?"
"Yes!" Michiko Chiba bowed and said, "My aunt's flight yesterday has already arrived home!"
"After my cousin finishes her college entrance examination, she will fly directly to Jiangcheng!"
"That's good!" Lingpingan nodded.
"Lingsang!" Michiko Chiba suddenly said: "I also plan to enroll in a night school!"
Lingpingan raised his head, gave a thumbs up, and praised: "Qianye-chan is indeed ambitious!"
Chiba Michiko bowed and thanked: "Thank you so much for your encouragement, Lingsang!"
"If you hadn't kept telling me the importance of learning, I wouldn't have had the courage!"
Night schools are a product of the Emperor Gaozong's reign.
At that time, it was mainly a learning environment for workers who came to the city.
Therefore, night schools are basically related to vocational skills training.
Therefore, Michiko Chiba is going to a technical school related to chefs.
The federal empire has policy support for this.
Any evening schools within the empire are state-owned or state-subsidized.
Free tuition and miscellaneous fees, and car and horse subsidies are also provided.
After thinking about it, Lingpingan stood up and said to Michiko Chiba: "I don't have anything good... I'll just give you a recipe book..."
As a strong foodie, Lingpingan is unusually picky about food.
Therefore, he also has some recipes here that he collected in his spare time.
Those are recipes handed down from ancient chefs.
The value of these precious things is immeasurable.
At least, Lingpingan considers them priceless.
So, he solemnly opened the cabinet behind him, took out a thin yellow booklet from it, handed it to Michiko Chiba, and said: "This is the crystallization of the wisdom of many ancient sages!"
Fuso Fox Girl bowed repeatedly: "This gift is too heavy..."
She looked at the pamphlet that was handed to her.
On the slightly yellowed cover, long-faded handwriting was written with a brush.
"Spiritual Food".
That's the name of this recipe.
Looking at it, Michiko Chiba couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
She clearly felt the endless wisdom exuding in this booklet.
That is wisdom that she will enjoy endlessly throughout her life!
"Alas..." Lingpingan directly pushed the booklet in his hand into Chiba Michiko's hand: "I got this thing by chance..."
"It's a personal note from a famous chef..."
"I also added a little personal insight into it..."
"I hope Qianye-chan doesn't dislike it!"
As a qualified gourmet, Lingpingan likes innovation very much and also likes to think about how to make food more delicious.
If he hadn't been too lazy, Lingpingan would have thought he could open a restaurant.
Michiko Chiba touched the booklet in her hand.
In a daze, she understood something.
This is a mission!
A glorious mission!
When she took over this booklet, she had already taken over this great sacred mission.
This mission is to blend mortal food into spiritual food containing rich spiritual energy, turn decay into magic, and benefit thousands of people!
This is indeed a great mission!
So, Michiko Chiba bowed deeply: "Lingsang, I will definitely not disappoint your expectations!"
"I will definitely make better food to serve the public!"
She raised her head, her gaze extremely firm.
In Chiba Michiko's view, this familiar guest may be a descendant of an ancient family.
For some reasons, he lives here in seclusion and does not reveal his identity.
But he secretly observed, selected those who could be made, and led them on their own path.
This is a plot that Michiko Chiba has seen in many stories.
It was also the details of many legends she heard after coming to this country.
A just and generous gentleman has the world in his heart.
Not pleased, not to have compassion.
They guard the world and treat the world with the same morality and mind as saints.
They silently lead the times and quietly change the world.
Let everything develop in the direction of the ideal world of great harmony.
According to legend, there is a story about the so-called ‘Sage of the Bamboo Grove’ in ancient times.
In modern times, everything in this country seems to indicate that the legend is true!
Now, the facts are appearing before our eyes.
This made Chiba Michiko really flattered and frightened, and she deeply felt the heavy responsibility on her shoulders!
As for why the sages of the Federation Empire would impart such secret knowledge to her from Fuso?
This is easy to understand.
In the eyes of a gentleman, everyone from all over the world is one.
National borders cannot limit their profound and lofty thoughts.
Just like those sages who traveled around the world two thousand years ago.
Confucius's disciples came from all over the world.
Mencius's disciples also came from all over the world.
Neither Confucius nor Mencius treated his disciples differently based on their nationality.
Because they have greater ambitions and ideals.
These ambitions and ideals can be summed up as follows - select the talented and capable, make the world a commonwealth, uphold trust and harmony, and make friends not only kiss their relatives, nor only their children, so that the old will have a happy ending, the strong will be useful, and the young will be good.
The widows, widowers, lonely people and the disabled people all have something to support them!
In the face of such great ambitions and ideals, the so-called national boundaries naturally disappear.
And Fusang is also one of the best in the world!
Just like the vassal states in the Confucius and Mencius era.
This filled Fuso Fox Girl's heart with a sense of responsibility.
She bowed again and again, showing her feelings.
Lingpingan looked at it and sighed in his heart: "She is indeed the Queen of Fuso!"
The image of Fusang people in the hearts of the people of the Federation has always been that of "obeying etiquette and knowing how to advance and retreat."
Except for the Japanese pirate rebellion in the previous dynasty, most of the time in history, we have been friendly neighbors separated by a strip of water.
In the past three hundred years, it has been a "model kingdom" of "good neighborliness and friendship".
Coupled with the same culture and species, Fuso and the Federal Empire are irrefutably countries in the "category of Tianxia".
According to historians, the relationship between the two is probably the relationship between the "Dali Kingdom" and "Tubo Kingdom" of the Tang and Song Dynasties and the Central Dynasty.
It's part of the historical process.
In other words, in the eyes of historians, the world will be unified sooner or later.
In reality, in fact, as long as the Federal Empire raises its finger, the Fuso Kingdom will happily announce the initiation of legal procedures to join the Federal Empire.
But practical interests prevent this possibility.
The other independent kingdoms of the Federal Empire have no hope at all that there will be another so-called brotherly kingdom to share the cake and power.
Thinking of this, Lingpingan had no choice but to encourage Michiko Chiba: "Come on Qianye-chan!"
"I hope you can become a world-famous chef in the future!"
“Bringing the joy and enjoyment of food to everyone!”
Chiba Michiko listened and became more certain of her judgment.
really……
He is the legendary sage who lives in seclusion in the busy city!
No wonder, he can easily see through his disguise, and at the same time he reminds him kindly.
Really are……
In Michiko Chiba's mind, there is only what the Emperor Taizu of the Federal Empire once said: A great chivalrous person serves the country and the people!
In an instant, Lingpingan became extremely tall and burly in her eyes.
She held the booklet in her hand tightly and bowed deeply: "Lingsang, I will definitely live up to your expectations!"
"I swear that I will use delicious food to heal people all over the world!"
This is her ideal.
This is also her ambition.
Use delicious food to heal people's hearts.
Especially the human heart of Fuso people!
One day, she will go back.
Just like the envoys to the Tang Dynasty in history, those great figures.
Just like in the past three hundred years, groups of envoys were sent to the summer to learn the advanced culture and technology of this country and return to help their compatriots.
Benevolence, etiquette, loyalty and filial piety...
Always healing!
She can't do that, but she can use delicious food!
……………………
Riding a small electric donkey, Michiko Chiba happily returned to her home.
This is a home in a quaint alley in Jiangcheng City.
This is also where many Fuso expats live.
She opened the door, and her father and mother both turned around and looked at her: "Michiko is back..."
"Did the food delivery go well?"
"It went very well!" Michiko Chiba replied happily: "Lingsang even encouraged me!"
"That's good!" Chiba Michiko's father Chiba Tadushin said with a smile.
He is not as simple as Michiko Chiba.
All kinds of clues have pointed to her daughter serving a high-status big shot!
But he is very smart and never asks questions.
Because this is his daughter's opportunity.
Chiba Tadushin, a devout Buddhist, was very superstitious about cause and effect.
For him, every drink and every peck are predestined.
Just like when he picked up this newborn fox girl in the ruins of Osaka.
He will know that this is his cause and his effect.
He is destined to raise this fox girl.
Sure enough, after picking up the fox girl and adopting her, his refugee application was approved.
The family traveled across the ocean and came to this brand new place. They started a restaurant business and lived a prosperous and comfortable life.
This is the result of his good deeds.
So, he smiled and served his daughter her favorite caviar, and then said: "Michiko, I have signed up for you to the chef night school in Jiangcheng City, you can study tonight..."
“To survive here, localization is still very important!”
"Yes!" Michiko Chiba nodded heavily.
She was about to tell her father that she had received a magical recipe book as a gift from Lingsang.
As soon as I touched my pocket, the book in my pocket disappeared.
She was stunned when the image of the pamphlet appeared in her mind.
The yellowed pages of the book have been opened.
The first recipe comes to mind.
The name of this dish is: Smoked Pork Chops.
It looks like a very ordinary dish with a very simple name.
But in fact...
Just looking at the extremely complicated processing techniques and feeling the various blending techniques that are so complicated that it makes one's head explode.
Michiko Chiba already understood that this was a spiritual food that was so miraculous that it was beyond imagination.
Transform ordinary pork chops into spiritual food that would make extraordinary people salivate.
It has the miraculous effect of restoring spiritual power and healing all kinds of incredible injuries and diseases!
The taste is unimaginable!
"Such a delicacy..." Chiba Michiko sighed: "Do I really have the chance to make it in my life?"
The Fuso Fox Girl began to feel seriously unconfident.
Because this spiritual food not only has too many magical techniques that she cannot understand.
What’s more, you need to have a certain foundation in psychic energy!
"It seems that even delicious food requires spiritual power..." The fox girl, who had always resisted practicing in the past, had the idea of taking the initiative to practice for the first time.
Because she wants to heal people's hearts.
But……
Here, even if you want to practice cultivation, you still need to apply and get approval.
Michiko Chiba, remember all the legal procedures.
First, you need to fill out the application form.
Then, approval will be obtained, and at the same time, a batch of cultivation materials will be delivered.
However, if you accept the training materials from the Black Guards, you must work for the Black Guards.
When necessary, respond to call orders.
Of course, she can refuse and rely on herself, in which case she won't need to take on additional obligations.
But the problem is that except from the official authorities, it is almost impossible to obtain enough training materials.
so……
Michiko Chiba, after thinking over and over again, made up her mind.
"I can apply to be a support staff..."
This requires her to report her abilities to her superiors.
In other words, you must explain the spiritual food cooking skills you are going to acquire.
"I hope you can become a world-famous chef in the future..."
"Bringing the joy and enjoyment of food to everyone..."
Lingsang's encouragement rang in his ears.
Michiko Chiba understands.
She should report it!
So, she silently finished her caviar, then walked back to her bedroom and took out the application form that had been stored for a long time from the drawer in her bedroom.
There are tables for every heterogeneity.
Then she began to fill out the form and apply to become a non-staff support staff member of the Black Guard.
Write the reason for the application: Make delicious spiritual food, provide everyone with delicious spiritual food, heal and dispel all kinds of unknowns.
She wrote very seriously.
After you finish writing, sign solemnly.
Then, she picked up her cell phone and dialed the number on the application form.
Submit your number and registration information.
An hour later, a police officer in black came to the door in person and took away her application form.
"Ms. Chiba, please wait for three working days. After three working days, someone will come to announce whether your application is successful..."
"Okay!" Michiko Chiba nodded repeatedly.
"By the way..." the police officer asked before leaving: "Will you continue to deliver food?"
Michiko Chiba looked at the other party and nodded seriously: "Of course! It is my wish to serve delicious food to every guest!"
Especially Lingsang!
Michiko Chiba feels very satisfied every time she sees Lingsang eating happily!
This kind of joy cannot be replaced by anything else.
But the other party seemed a little regretful: "That's it, then I wish you a happy life!"
He solemnly put the application form into a secret jade box, and then walked out of the door as Chiba Michiko and her family bid farewell.
