Milo frowned: "No, this feels a little wrong. You obviously used a lot of white sugar, but the overall taste is really spicy. The only sweetness seems to be a spicy seasoning, and the unique smell of fireworks inside makes this dish even more... The concept of…um…”
Milo thought for a long time, but could not think of a suitable explanation.
In response to this, the Food Immortal Old Man laughed loudly: "If it is so easy for you to eat it, my research during this period will appear to be too substandard."
Between the words, the endless delicious smells overlapped with the laughter of the Food Fairy Old Man. The fresh and sweet river fresh food, the fragrant fishy meat, the sweet fruits and vegetables, the almost mixed taste followed the flames on the stove. It rises, but the rhythm is harmonious, and the proportions between the different flavors are natural, as if they should be that way, as they have been since ancient times.
And these flavors also contain various emotions, which may not necessarily originate from humans, but may also originate from the land.
Milo stretched out his hand and pinched a wisp of wheat fragrance. From it, he could feel a vast plain, where fertile farmland was everywhere. The clear springs flowing down from the mountain streams nourished the land, and golden wheat grains were born here.
As spring passes and autumn comes, golden barley continues to grow here. The smell of harvest is the first scent of this barley, and people's joy and prayers are hidden in it.
Among the cheers, it originated from the culture of "sacrifice" to the harvest and one's own internal organs. As people's exchanges began to expand, the fragrance of wheat was no longer about food and clothing, but centered on the enjoyment of taste and the purpose of food and health. The harmony and unity build a coordinated structure of color, aroma, taste, shape and utensils, and achieve the harmonious unity of color, aroma, taste, shape and beauty.
Therefore, pure barley products such as barley tea, barley porridge, maltose, etc. gradually appeared, and some foods combined with barley were gradually derived. With the emotion of sustenance and the mind of pioneering, they were constantly updated and derived. More dishes derived from barley.
These food aromas originate from the aroma of wheat and are vaguely higher than the aroma of wheat. They are harmonious and unified under the aroma of wheat, forming a wonderful qi that fills the heaven and earth, shares the same root with all things, and washes away all disharmony.
Just by looking at this wisp of wheat fragrance, Milo knew that the realm of the Food Immortal Old Man was more perfect than the last time they met. It was only a matter of time before he could break through the Three Flowers Gathering and enter the realm of refining the void. Even at this birthday banquet, The dishes can be regarded as one of the products of his enlightenment.
“The origin of cooking is sacrifice, the present of cooking is culture, and the future of cooking is emotion.”
Milo repeated Shixianweng's idea of Dao fruit in a low voice. He looked at the plate of braised pork again and vaguely understood why the taste was so unique. Whether it was white sugar or pork belly, it was essentially what Shixianweng used to carry culture and sustenance. An emotional thing.
"Sacrifice, culture, emotion? The dish itself is just a carrier, is it more about your own ideas?"
Milo whispered softly, and the Immortal Eater shook his head and said, "How is that possible?"
Seeing Milo, Shixianweng continued to explain: "Although I have expanded the concept of cooking, this concept has its own limitations after all. In the past, cooking meant boiling, and cooking meant cooking. In a narrow sense, , cooking is the thermal processing of food ingredients to turn raw food that is not suitable for consumption into cooked food that can be eaten directly; broadly speaking, cooking is the reasonable processing and seasoning of food ingredients to make them into color, aroma, taste, shape, and texture. Food that is harmonious, can be absorbed by people, supplements the needs of the human body, and even strengthens the body's functions."
"So no matter how the way of cooking changes, its own limitations are there. Even the three-in-one system of sacrifice, culture, and emotion that I built is just an expansion of it. In other words, sacrifice, culture, and emotions are all cooked by me. The ingredients and spices, not the cooking itself.”
Hearing this, Milo thought thoughtfully and looked at the meat, stove and flames again, a flash of light appeared in his eyes: "So, this dish looks like it is mainly based on sugar, fat and pork belly. In fact, The main ingredient is flame? Meat, sugar and oil, but the ingredients? No, it shouldn't be. The flame is not only added from the outside, but also inside the pork belly..."
Milo, who figured out the key, quickly found the core. The shadow of the treasure mirror appeared in his pupils, reflecting the essence of the dish. He found the slight disharmony and affirmed: "Sure enough, this pork belly comes from To some kind of god...beast that holds the power of fire."
"That's right! That meat comes from the divine beast that holds the power of fire, but it is also a fallen ferocious beast affected by the chaotic demonic energy. I originally thought that after more than a dozen processes, it should be done perfectly, and it will be transformed into a divine beast. The power of sex is completely integrated into the pork belly, and then it is drawn by external flames and manifests itself, forming the flavor of flames. I didn’t expect you could still see it."
Regarding Milo's pause in mid-sentence, the Immortal Eater was surprised at first, and then said happily: "Sure enough, asking you for help is the right thing to do. Can you tell me where the disharmony is? ?”
"I really can't describe this, why don't you see it for yourself?"
Milo said, stretched out his hand a little, and shared the scene he saw with the Immortal Eater.
Seeing the flaws reflected in the Haotian Taixu Jian, the Immortal Food Man cheered and said, "It turns out that this is it. It turns out that there is still a little bit of disharmony here. Let me think about how to deal with it..."
Milo looked at the Immortal Eater who was deep in thought and found a place to think.
The Immortal Eater's words gave him a little inspiration. The names in the Miluo Treasure Scroll are closely related, influencing each other, penetrating each other, and blending with each other.
His previous methods of dealing with the Holy Glory were a bit too rough. The essence of that radiance was the product of the mutual influence of the powers of names such as [Knight King] and [Galahad], just like a plate of dishes composed of different ingredients.
Now, this dish has taken shape. Due to the influence of the authority of truth, Milo cannot destroy it, but can he make a second modification based on the original one, or use [Knight King], [Galahad] Waiting for the name to build a new dish and lead the subsequent power in another direction?
With this idea in mind, Milo set his sights on the [Heretic/Shinto·Five-Rank Utopia Knight King].
As the name of Arthur who used to rely on the power of the Miroku Scroll to be regarded as the dependent of Taiyi Incarnation, [King of Knights] itself has related legends in the world of Taiyi Incarnation. Its image is not a person holding a spear, or a spear. For that King of Knights, it is not the main weapon.
Strictly speaking, the name "King of Knights" is the product of a combination of Arthur's personal nature and legend. It is the result of strengthening a certain concept of the original legendary King of Knights.
Therefore, in the records of Miluo Treasure Scroll, it is only right that there is another corresponding record for the name [King of Knights].
"A [Knight King] who holds a sword and guides victory."
Milo looked at the names in the treasure scroll and casually extracted the concept of victory. At the same time, he looked at another name derived from the name he obtained when he ascended to the sky in the past [Heterogeneous/Shinto·Sixth Grade Silver-Armed Nuada].
This name and the legend of [Knight King] originate from the same mythological system. In some records, the weapon of [Silver-Armed Nuada], the Sword of Light, is the same weapon as the Broken Steel Sword of [Knight King]. Name, some people think that the Sword of Light is the prototype of the Broken Steel Sword.
Based on this, Milo strengthened it, combined with the power of victory, and re-constructed the Knight King who weakened the concept of the Spear of Destiny, and condensed the [Hetero/Shinto·Sixth Grade Knight King].
Milo is not surprised by the downgrade of the [Knight King]. As speculated before, the concept of [Utopia Knight King] originated from the legend and the Spear of Destiny in the hand of Arthur. After the gun is weakened, even if new concepts are added, it will be difficult for the simple [King of Knights] to stabilize itself from the fifth level.
However, Milo's condensation of the name "King of Knights" was not just for a simple fifth-grade name. As this concept took shape, Milo gathered the names of other knights under the "King of Knights" to construct a [Hetero/Shinto·Fifth Grade Knights of the Round Table of Camelot].
As this name took shape, the original holy radiance became slightly weaker, and the power attributes of [Galahad], [Bos] and [Percival], who were called the Three Knights of the Holy Grail, also began to change to a certain extent.
'Sure enough, whether in my previous life or in the world where Taiyi incarnated, the concept of the Knights of the Round Table was the product of the interweaving of monotheism and local mythology. Although monotheism has a great influence on local mythology, in a strict sense, the two After all, there are two pantheons. When I strengthen the concept of another pantheon, the power of a monotheistic religion similar to the Holy See will naturally fade. Although it is limited by the authority of truth and cannot be completely erased, the impact is obviously much smaller. '
Looking at his results, Milo was quite satisfied. During this period, he combined the concept and ideals of [Silver Arm Nuada] to comprehensively strengthen its corresponding divine power.
Speaking of which, the Celtic pantheon where [Silver-Armed Nuada] belongs is also unlucky. It is not very powerful. When Odin presided over the retreat of the gods and allowed the monotheistic religion to develop, it lost the protection of the gods of the Celtic pantheon. The sect was directly destroyed by the monotheistic religion, and because of the special nature of its inheritance, which was passed down by word of mouth, the later spread of the Celtic pantheon in the world was attributed to the monotheistic religion.
And because of the strong influence of monotheism, the contents of these ancient books that have been handed down have more or less traces of monotheism, such as the three knights [Galahad], [Bos] and [Percival].
Moreover, because of the weakness of the Celtic pantheon, after Milo entered that world and took over the power, the entire pantheon basically collapsed, and the remaining main gods basically degenerated into evil gods, and they were still so completely degenerated. , unable to regain the original strength.
Therefore, under Milo's deliberate guidance, he has never been able to gather any powerful names, and most of them are only from the sixth or sixth level, and their power is not as strong as the Knights of the Round Table who are subordinate to the [King of Knights].
But this is also consistent with the myths handed down from the Celtic pantheon. The gods and humans reached an agreement. The gods retreated to the other side for a never-ending banquet, while humans informed the realm above the earth.
Therefore, for Milo, the names of these gods are more about strengthening the power of the Celtic pantheon, and then driving the power of the [Knights of the Round Table] to challenge the monotheistic power of the Three Knights of the Holy Grail and the Spear of Destiny. Suppress and reduce the proportion of power similar to the radiance of the Holy See in the Miluo Treasure Scroll.
Of course, because the legends handed down from the Celtic pantheon did not specify the location of the other side of the banquet of the gods, and the special status of the concept of Utopia in this pantheon, the Utopia that used to originate from "The Little Prince" has become The seat of the divine domain of the Celtic pantheon added a new fifth-level name to Milo, which was composed of the Celtic pantheon.
The power of Utopia, which originally embodied the concept of fairy tales, has been strengthened again, forming a virtuous cycle.
While Milo was revising and strengthening the names in the treasure scroll again and again, Shi Xianweng also thought of new cooking methods. He started a new round of cooking, and this time he asked Milo to help him. , allowing him to directly participate in subsequent cooking work.
Neither the disciples of the Food Immortal Old Man nor the food gods below had any objections to an outsider holding such power and becoming one of the hosts of the banquet dishes.
For them, those disciples of the Food Immortal Old Man who broke through on their own and ascended to the top have heard about Milo's ability and are aware of his magical powers. For those gods who cook a dish, Milo is the best inspiration. Especially when he observed the Miluo Treasure Scroll and modified it, some of the qi that he inadvertently revealed allowed these gods to calculate many new dishes.
A being who can help the Immortal Eater point out his flaws and give people endless inspiration. His charm is enough to make all the gods who are cooking a dish fall in love and become obsessed with him.
In the words of one of the gods, rather than being jealous of Milo becoming one of the chefs, it is better to take a second look at him. It is best to learn one or two more things from his unintentional aura. If you can get his advice on different dishes, or if he comes to ask you some methods of handling ingredients, it will be the ultimate enjoyment, no worse than completing a top-notch dish.
Milo's performance also greatly promoted the development and improvement of subsequent dishes.
Milo can always see at a glance the problems that are hidden deep in the depths and took hundreds of attempts to discover in the past; Milo can also detect some minor flaws that even the Immortal Eater cannot detect; In addition, Milo can record the taste of each dish and the subtle differences in the preparation of the same dish at different times, which plays a key guiding role in the subsequent processing of Shixianweng.
When to cook, when to serve, and when to handle ingredients are all handled in a more standardized and reasonable way.
Shi Xianweng, who regards sacrifice as the source of cooking, also used this to create several sacrificial rituals that belong to the cooking system.
Milo also came up with new ideas about the distribution, reorganization and reconstruction of power through repeated attempts. At the same time, he also used this method of construction to sort out some of the heretical names in the treasure scroll.
For example, the names of the gods of the Nordic and Olympian gods were condensed here during this process. Most of the names of these gods are in the sixth grade, and a few can enter the ranks of the fifth grade. However, Cooperating with Milo, who spent several years gradually building the divine realm in the Taiyi realm, he also built some divine names from the fifth level, and even from the fourth level.
And these names are more or less related to the birth of the monotheistic religion. After Milo's processing and differentiation, the remaining concepts of the monotheistic religion left in the treasure scroll were further torn apart, and they were returned to the names of various gods. The traces of the holy brilliance in the treasure scroll become so insignificant that they are difficult to detect.
'At this point, most of what is left is the result of the influence of the authority of truth. Although it can still be weakened, it will probably take more time, unless I can completely incorporate the names of the heretic gods into the big picture of my existing system. in the cycle. '
Milo thought secretly and couldn't help but look at the Food Immortal Weng beside him. This top expert in Hanxia cooking was also thinking about the exclusive sacrificial rituals for the emperor's birthday banquet.
"Damn it, this won't work either. There are really too few existing banquet rituals related to the emperor. The most suitable thing for our operation is the 129,600 dishes served by every household in Hanxia. The constructed One-Yuan Heavenly Banquet. It’s just that the One-Yuan Banquet is a banquet for all people. The core is that all people work together, when to cook and when to serve. These are not important and have no reference at all.”
The Immortal Food Man touched his head and seemed a little irritable, but in front of him were three hundred and sixty-five dishes.
Each of these 365 dishes is extraordinary. It is the work of Shixianweng in the past. It is based on the characteristics of the twelve Hanzhou prefectures and combined with 108 cooking techniques to create 360 pieces of flavor. Different dragon scales are spliced into the image of the emperor's dragon body, plus the dragon claws, dragon head, dragon tail, dragon horns and dragon beards to create the Hanxia True Dragon Picture. These are just these 365 dishes. One of them is not the top one among them.
The specifications and taste of the remaining 364 dishes may be higher or lower than Hanxia Zhenlongtu, but relying on ingredients beyond ordinary people's imagination, in terms of quality, they are not inferior to Hanxia Zhenlongtu.
It can be said that this is no longer three hundred and sixty-five dishes, but a masterpiece that combines cooking from both inside and outside Hanxia. As long as a suitable ritual is added, it will be a supreme banquet that is not inferior to the One Yuan Heavenly Banquet.
But how to make these 365 dishes, and the rhythm of processing tens of thousands of ingredients before making the dishes, is a very cumbersome and difficult to calculate problem. This is also the problem that Shi Xianweng is worried about now.
"I can't try all the possibilities of these 365 dishes at once. Even if I have the energy, I can't keep up with the ingredients!"
When the Immortal Eater thought of this, he scratched his head hard again, looking very irritable.
In this regard, Milo could only keep trying to deduce in his mind, but he had to stop because of the high-level power inside the ingredients and the complex and huge nature of the interweaving of subsequent powers.
Sorry, I underestimated this plot and was more than twenty minutes late. Then I would like to state that some of the cooking concepts in this article are derived from online information. Just take a look.
