Chapter 31 The commonalities between cooking and doing questions
One month later.
In his residence, Luo Yan was immersed in his desk, writing furiously.
Beside him, half of the room was filled with test data from this period, as well as more possible conjectures and verification plans.
The more he wrote, the more painful his expression became. Later, his eyes turned red with anxiety, like Party B who had changed the plan hundreds of times but still couldn't pass it. He wanted to overturn the whole table.
Why are these formation formulas always wrong no matter how much I modify them? Luo Yan was so irritated that he almost wanted to tear his scalp off.
"I told you before, the previous step shouldn't be calculated like that..." Kunlun Jing babbled beside him.
"A Jing is useless. If you change the formula, it will still be wrong. The initial assumption is wrong..." Qing Pingjian began to argue with Kunlun Mirror.
At first, Luo Yan was still in the mood to tell the two voices in his mind to shut up when they were quarreling, but now he was just indifferent and ignorant.
In the room, another location near the door was opened up by stone glass and became a kitchen.
As Luo Yan became more and more obsessed with solving problems, Miss Shi, who loved food, had no choice but to fend for herself and began to seriously learn cooking skills.
Although I didn't touch Yangchun water with my fingers in the past, after cooking more, the food is not difficult to eat.
In addition, Luo Yan's complexion has been getting worse and worse recently, which made Miss Shi worried, so she planned to make some delicious food to take care of him - of course, satisfying her own appetite is only secondary, the main thing is to reward him.
My hardworking little brother.
Cut the ginseng and polygonatum into cubes, dice the lotus root, blanch the beef cubes and put them into the pot together, add some bay leaves and peppercorns... Shi Liuli covered the pot, admired his work, and clapped his hands with satisfaction.
In the side hall of Guixu Palace, in addition to a large number of formation-related books, there are also many miscellaneous books. For example, this magical recipe book using various fairy herbs to cook dishes made Shi Liuli feel like he had found a treasure.
It would take at least an hour and a half to melt the ginseng and yellow essence into the soup and stew the beef until it is thoroughly cooked. Therefore, after Shi Liuli carefully adjusted the fire control magic weapon, he turned to Luo Yan to play.
"Junior brother!" She sat down next to Luo Yan, took his arm and asked, "guess what I did today?"
"Dish." Luo Yan didn't even raise his head.
"What kind of food?" Shi Liuli asked playfully.
Luo Yan ignored her, paused with his pen for a moment, and then started writing quickly again.
Regarding the formation model of the Guixu Formation, he suddenly had a wonderful guess and needed to quickly confirm it with calculations.
Seeing that his junior brother ignored him again, Shi Liuli was a little annoyed, but he still managed to hold it back.
Okay, he wants to study the Guixu Formation now, I don’t care.
Don’t even eat a bite of the beef stew later!
Shi Liuli returned to the kitchen and continued tinkering with her new dish.
Add vegetable oil and butter, stir-fry in a pot, add flour and stir well to increase the consistency.
Then add the soul of this dish - the paste made from centuries-old red fruits. It must be more than a hundred years old, otherwise the taste will be too sour.
Then stir continuously with a spoon and stir-fry over low heat until the water in the pot is completely dry. Then add water in batches and continue stirring to let it slowly melt, and finally turn into a pot of delicious, spiritual and nourishing soup.
Shi Liuli rolled up his sleeves and swung the large spoon for a long time. He felt that his arm was so sore that he simply abandoned the spoon and took out his flying sword to wash it clean. Then he performed a sword trick with his left hand and let the flying sword sit in the pot by itself.
Stir in circles.
When the soup finally turned into a bright orange color, Shi Liuli raised his sword finger and moved the poor flying sword that was already in shape, causing it to fly out of the pot, shake off the soup, and then fall into the bucket next to it.
"Add salt to the soup..." She continued following the recipe, "add wine...add scallop powder for freshness...well, a small amount of maltose..."
"Then, take out the previously stewed beef, polygonatum odoratum and ginseng and pour them into the urn."
"Mix the mushrooms, remove the pits and red dates, mix well, and finally pour the soup on top."
"Keep simmering."
Shi Liuli decided not to cover the lid this time, letting the aroma of beef stew fill the whole room, waiting for his salivating junior brother to come begging for food from him.
The mellow aroma of beef and the unique fragrance of various elixirs began to overflow from the pot.
She cooked the washed rice, then folded her arms triumphantly, and waited for Luo Yan for a long time, but she saw that he didn't even raise his head, still calculating formulas there.
The formation formula was still wrong. The so-called brilliant inspiration before had now been proven to be an illusion... Luo Yan was so angry that he wanted to kill him randomly.
No matter what you kill, just kill indiscriminately and that's it.
Shi Liuli looked at his back, her expression changing from triumphant to hesitant, then confused, and finally angry.
No, you didn't even raise your head?
Is it because the beef I stewed is not fragrant? I think it is quite fragrant...
Hiss!
After swallowing a big mouthful of saliva, Miss Shi decided to confirm if there was something wrong with her food.
I drank some soup first. Well, it is delicious and nourishing. It is a delicacy worth trying for those who are cultivating immortality.
Eat another piece of stewed beef. Well, it is soft, smooth and crispy, and you can soak up the soup. It also has the aroma of meat and elixir. The layering can be said to be extremely clear.
So why isn’t Junior Brother interested?
Shi Liuli thought about it and tasted it, and unknowingly ate most of the whole vat of beef.
When she came to her senses, there was only a shallow layer of soup and three or four pieces of beef left.
She shuddered suddenly and subconsciously glanced at Luo Yan with a guilty conscience.
After confirming that the younger brother was still immersed in doing the questions and had not noticed at all, Miss Shi quickly took a small bowl, poured out the remaining soup and beef, and then quickly washed the big vat and destroyed the corpse.
As soon as he washed himself, he heard Luo Yan suddenly drop his pen.
I really can’t fucking figure it out, so I won’t do it anymore!
After finally suppressing his frustration, Luo Yan slowly came back to his senses.
There is definitely no answer to this question.
My characteristic of "knowing a thousand things once I hear it" has theoretically given me the most powerful understanding in the world.
A question that even I can't solve must have no answer - that's the only way to explain it.
Let's eat something. Alas, so much time was wasted...
Luo Yan stood up and filled the rice, and then tasted the soup and beef that Miss Shi left for him, and he immediately started praising them:
"Senior sister, your beef is absolutely amazing! The soup with rice is even better. Overall, the evaluation is like refining a panacea into a panacea, which is almost a qualitative leap..."
"As long as you like it." Shi Liuli said with a guilty conscience.
Luo Yan didn't know what she was thinking, or he had already guessed it but pretended not to know. He just continued to refresh the synchronization value and said with a smile:
"I see, I understand, beef and elixir are cooked together, right? The original ordinary and simple ingredients, after being soaked in the elixir, can become so delicious..."
As he spoke, his face suddenly darkened.
Wait, boil the elixir into juice and let the beef soak in?
Could the so-called Guixu Formation also be... some kind of "juice"?
Seeing his expression suddenly darken, Shi Liuli quickly defended and said:
"The reason why there is only so much left is because I was too hungry just now, and you didn't show any intention of coming over for dinner for a long time..."
Luo Yan stood up suddenly, hugged Shi Liuli hard, kissed the side of his face, and then rushed out of the room.
Shi Liuli was stunned for a moment, then covered her cheek with force.
