"It's really Baihua Paste, but it may be a little different from the Baihua Cake you used to understand."
As Milo spoke, he took out the jade and began to cook it in front of Yang Yu. During this period, he used hundreds of flower nectar as the basis and some herbs to refine the jade to soften it, transforming it from the original stone to a paste-like object. Transformation.
When Yang Yu and Zhu Qi saw this, their expressions changed slightly. After looking at each other, they whispered: "The seventy-two techniques of boiling stones?"
After finishing speaking, Yang Yu's eyes brightened slightly, and her expression when looking at Zhu Qi was a bit showy.
Zhu Qi fell into silence.
The method of boiling stone is the same as the method of taking it. They are magical powers that are closely related to the lineage of Food Immortal.
But unlike the method of taking food which is very popular, the method of boiling stone has a somewhat embarrassing status among the Food Immortal lineage.
Those who recognize the method of boiling stones regard it as a deeper change similar to eating chicken without missing the chicken in the dish, enriching the cooking techniques and reducing the restrictions on ingredients in all aspects.
Those who do not recognize the method of boiling stones believe that boiling stones is closer to the method of alchemy and is far different from the way of cooking and eating. Some extreme people even think that recognizing the method of boiling stones is equivalent to denying the independence of cooking and chefs. sex.
The latter is represented by Juxian Pavilion.
Therefore, Yang Yu believed that Milo showed that he had begun to learn the method of boiling stones, and he tactfully rejected Zhu Qi.
But the next second, Zhu Qi said: "I didn't expect you to know how to boil stones. That's really great. We just happened to be going hunting at Jin Chui Yu Cuisine. I'm afraid it's hard to carry some seasonings. With the method of boiling stones, we The combination’s chances of winning are even better.”
Hearing this, Yang Yu couldn't bear it anymore. She pointed at her fellow disciple and growled: "Zhu Qi, you!"
"What's wrong with me?"
Zhu Qi looked at Yang Yu and chuckled: "Fellow Taoist Milo is not a chef, so what's weird about learning the method of boiling stones? What I, Juxian Pavilion, care about is that people regard the method of boiling stones as a cooking technique, but it is not I don’t mind using the method of boiling stones as a way to prepare ingredients. How can I, the chef at Juxian Pavilion, be so ignorant of twists and turns?”
After saying that, Zhu Qi looked at Milo again and said: "Speaking of which, I saw that you have a certain foundation in the Daoyan sect, so cooperating with me is the best choice. After all, I am from the Juxian Pavilion lineage, and I analyze and know new ingredients. Countless, they can bring you a lot of information about the life map.”
Zhu Qi's words made Yang Yu blush. If anyone else, she would have laughed at the fact that the life map information in Zhu Qi's hand was incomplete, incoherent, and of extremely low research value.
But Milo is an exception, whether it was the initial relationship with him in Lu'an County or his later companionship in Taixu Illusion Realm.
Yang Yu knew very well that the Miluo Companion Treasure could gain a lot from this information.
Even if he can't come up with anything applicable to the present in a short period of time, this kind of accumulation is already very attractive to Milo. Yang Yu couldn't help but look at Milo with some worry, worried that he would choose Zhu Qi.
Milo and Yang Yu smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, Fellow Daoist Ding is here too."
As he said that, he saw A Quan leading Ding Wuli in.
Ding Wuli, who was still wearing a fairy bun with double rings and simple and elegant clothes, when he saw Yang Yu and Zhu Qi, he picked up a strand of long hair in front of him, rubbed it and said: "Ah, I thought I was the only one who wanted to do this." I came to invite you personally, but I didn’t expect that the two committees had the same plan as me. It seems that you have almost played the cards in your hands, so is Taoist Milo interested in hearing the treatment I am offering?"
When Milo heard this, he also said with a smile from the corner of his eyes: "Fellow Daoist Ding, don't make fun of me. This time, I will probably borrow some money from you. Why do you have the nerve to talk about remuneration and treatment?"
"This is not right. This time is not necessary for fellow Taoists, but it is very important for me, sister Yang and brother Zhu. It is not only related to my future path, but also to my waiting in Baiweilou. You cannot be careless about your position among them, and compared to others, you are the most suitable candidate, and I cannot flatter you enough."
Ding Wuli went too far, but at the end of the sentence, he changed the topic again and said with a slightly solemn expression: "I am here today. In addition to inviting Fellow Taoist Milo, I also want to invite Junior Sister Yang and Junior Brother Zhu to join me. My team.”
Yang Yu and Zhu Qi frowned slightly when they heard this, and Yang Yu said bluntly: "According to the opinion of the building, we and other Baiwei Lou true disciples can only participate in the Immortal Eating Competition, one person and one team."
"It stands to reason, but isn't this Immortal Food Competition combined with the Golden Rainbow Festival? The Ancient Icefield Country in the north, the White Elephant Country in the southwest, the Neon Island Country in the east, and the Ryukyu Island Country in the east are all interested and seem to want to participate. This celebration. According to this situation, maybe many island countries in the south and even some countries in the West will try their best to participate in this competition. So the building allows us to participate together this time. It happens that fellow Taoist Milo is also quite accomplished in pastries. The four of us People are just right for all situations.”
Ding Wuli paused, looked at the three of them and said, "What do you think?"
Hearing this, Milo smiled and said, "I'm just borrowing the light of a few of you. I'll just do whatever you want."
Yang Yu and Zhu Qi looked at each other, their thoughts were very active. After the exchange of spiritual consciousness, they agreed with Ding Wuli's idea, but they raised another question.
"Who among the three of us is the leader?"
"This is simple."
Ding Wuli had obviously thought of various situations before coming, and he answered this question as soon as possible.
"It just so happens that although fellow Taoist Milo has made some achievements in cooking, it is still far behind the true teachings of Five Flavors and One Line. We will teach the Bai An Kungfu that we are good at to fellow Taoist Milo to see who can teach it well and who can How about calling the shots?”
Yang Yu, who had been to Wuwei and studied for a period of time, heard this and said with a smile: "This is good. Professor Mi Luo Baian and I can not only cooperate with each other, but also see our respective skills, so as to compare ourselves."
Zhu Qi was a little unhappy. He knew very well that his accomplishments in pastry were not much better than those of pastry shop chefs with a century-old reputation. He would definitely lose in this move.
Facing the objection raised by Zhu Qi, Ding Wuli smiled and said: "If after our professor, Fellow Taoist Milo overtakes us, we will take Fellow Daoist Milo as the main one, how about that?"
Milo, who was drinking tea nearby, was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He never thought that the matter would involve him again.
But it soon became clear to him that this was Ding Wuli's true thoughts.
Ding Wuli, Yang Yu and Zhu Qi are the true disciples of Wanmintang, Haiyuntian and Juxiange among the four major factions of Baiweilou.
No matter who leads the team, there are disadvantages, not to mention that their team is somewhat special to begin with. Without the five flavors and one series, it will be up to someone to provoke them. There may be nothing wrong with the four of them, but some of the guests at Baiweilou or the cuisine disputes in various places in Hanxia will start again.
And their team formation this time is essentially to deal with possible foreign attacks. If there is internal trouble, it will only make outsiders laugh.
Therefore, Milo is more suitable as the captain.
Of course, this does not rule out the fact that Milo's revealed talents as a Shinto god master want to take the opportunity to gain favor with Shinto.
Yang Yu and Zhu Qi, who also understood Ding Wuli's thoughts, nodded secretly after a moment of silence, expressing their agreement with Ding Wuli's statement.
As for Milo's inability to summarize what they taught him in the end, the three of them were not worried at all.
The three of them knew very well that when they were in the Taixu Illusion Realm, almost all the chefs in the world thought that Miroku was cooking and being proud of his food. In the last period of time, Fang Taixu Illusion Realm's cooking skills There was a brief burst.
Yang Yu suspected that if it weren't for the limitations of Taixu Illusion itself, those chefs might be able to breed beings who would become Taoists with their cooking skills.
And the information about those chefs is now in Milo's hands.
What the three of them need to do is to help Milo activate this information, cooperate with some of Baiweilou's practice concepts, let it be summarized, turn it into a new name, and give Milo blessings.
The subsequent teachings and changes were just as Ding Wuli had guessed. With the supply of sufficient ingredients, Milo's cooking skills continued to improve.
In just two months, he had mastered the basic skills of the three of them.
Afterwards, Milo quickly began to summarize and revise, innovate and make breakthroughs based on the concepts taught by the three people.
Looking at the pastries made by Mi Luo, Ding Wuli, Yang Yu and Zhu Qi discussed in low voices: "Mi Luo's technique has some traces of the original Mrs. Dong's technique. The finished product is exquisite and small. In addition, it also has the softness and glutinousness unique to the Jiangnan water town, as well as the hidden melodious sound of the land of wind and moon."
Hearing Yang Yu's words, Ding Wuli was also a little emotional: "Speaking of which, Mrs. Dong's methods back then were really amazing. She had vaguely extracted the corresponding artistic conception from the living environment and integrated it into her own food. . If it were not restricted by Taixu’s illusion, her last work of that year might be able to perform a vision."
Zhu Qi was a little unhappy: "But the path of Mrs. Dong's understanding is not suitable for this celebration. After all, it is the image of the land of wind and moon. How can it be on the emperor's table?"
Yang Yu was not happy when he heard this: "What's wrong with Fengyue? It's not one of the world's phenomena. As long as it's not the main theme, what's the harm in cooperating with the side? Since neither the six sense organs nor we can erase its existence , why don’t you just say it outright, isn’t covering up a sign of respect for the emperor?”
When Ding Wuli saw this, he was about to give some words of comfort when he suddenly noticed that Milo's technique had changed again: "Huh? Why does this technique look like Mrs. Xiaomei's?"
When Yang Yu heard this, she looked back and saw that Mrs. Xiaomei and Mrs. Dong were the two most powerful female pastry chefs in the south of the Yangtze River.
Unlike Mrs. Dong, she is better at making peach paste, melon paste, and pickled vegetables than simple pastries.
Mrs. Xiaomei specializes in pastries, dumplings and other foods, and her techniques are softer. The most amazing thing is that the steamed buns she makes have a very strange cold fragrance, so they have the "color between the clouds" , "as white as the snow on the plum blossoms".
It can be said that Mrs. Xiaomei and Mrs. Dong have gone to two extremes.
One is an alluring sound that embraces Fengyue, and the other uses the whiteness of steamed buns to interpret the concept of nobility and nobility.
As for Milo, who used the two techniques as a reference, the final product made Ding Wuli, Yang Yu and Zhu Qi a little curious.
After Milo finished, the three of them stepped forward to look at the pastry as white as snow, each picked up a piece and put it into their mouths.
But the moment the pastry was bitten open, a stream of light appeared, and then a faint floral fragrance surged.
There seemed to be countless flowers sprouting around, sprouting branches and leaves, blooming in the void. At the same time, several flower elves jumped out of the void, surrounding the three of them, laughing and playing.
Under the thousands of flowers, there are countless dead branches and leaves, making the land more fertile.
Among these flowers, Ding Wuli and the others felt a faint, but not negligible, vitality.
The cakes in the mouth were like seeds. After exploding in the mouth, the soft and sweet taste turned into countless petals and spread into the limbs and bones, allowing them to feel more of the flower energy.
In the void, the shapes of the playing elves seemed to be clearer. They even turned into elves themselves, being pulled by those elves, playing among the flowers, and feeling the different postures of the flowers at different times and in different climates.
"Can Mrs. Dong's methods still be used like this?"
Ding Wuli looked at the cake in his hand, feeling the feelings inside, and his expression became a little strange.
Yang Yu's face was also a little strange: "Miluo completely broke up Mrs. Dong's technique and integrated part of her intention into the growth process of flowers. At the same time, he used Mrs. Xiaomei's technique to highlight the characteristics of various flowers. . But I always feel like something is not quite right..."
Zhu Qi closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then slowly said: "It must be those elves. In fact, if you look carefully, you can find that the skills of Taoist Milo are not just cooking. In essence, they are still breaking up the things he owns." After that, it was reorganized. Those flower elves are actually the flower essences he inspired. And what I care more about than this is that Fellow Taoist Milo's ability seems to be a little beyond our original expectations. This The means, placed in the Five Flavors Harmony, are at least first-rate candidates for true inheritance..."
After hearing Zhu Qi's words, Yang Yu and Ding Wuli also fell into silence and looked in the direction of Milo.
Both of them could feel that Milo's aura at this moment was much softer than before, and his whole body also had a hint of chef's aura that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.
Milo on the other side also has a new name in the treasure scroll.
[Humanity·Baixian from the Eighth Grade Master]
This added name from the eighth rank belongs to the superior name of [Human Dao, Ninth Rank Chef] and [Human Dao, Ninth Rank Kitchen Assistant].
The most amazing thing is that this name is completely humane, with no trace of Shinto or Immortal. It is a true example of someone who enters Taoism through cooking skills.
Milo could only experience this purely technical breakthrough in painting. However, his painting skills were not purely humane, which led to a considerable gap in the insights brought about by the two.
By contrasting each other, Milo gained some new understandings of painting and cooking.
ps: The prototypes of Mrs. Dong and Mrs. Xiaomei are Dong Xiaowan and Xiao Meiren, both of whom were famous female chefs in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Among them, Dong Xiaowan is good at making vegetable pastries. It is said that she created the fragrant Dongtang and rolled Dongtang. Snow".
