Li Qi noticed that on the rooftop, everyone seemed more elegant, ordering a few dishes and then tasting them slowly.
By scanning the superficial thoughts of the people around him, he learned that first of all, he was more elegant and tasteful, not a peony-chewing roughneck.
Secondly, the dishes here are very precious and the prices are quite expensive. Someone like Li Qi, who ordered more than 400 dishes, only ate one bite of each dish. Only the dozen or so 8th-grade men in the city could do this. get.
Oh, this is not called the Eighth Stage, it is called the Yuanshen Realm.
That's all.
Others may not be able to afford it, but they obviously won't waste the money. After all, the cost is not small.
Therefore, when Li Qi did this, he would naturally attract the attention of a large number of people. Many people began to secretly observe Li Qi and ordered his subordinates to investigate this sudden eighth grade.
Yes, everyone naturally regarded him as an eighth-level person, because... if he did such a ostentatious thing without this level, the end would probably be ugly.
What level and what level of things should be done are deeply rooted rules in this world.
Of course, Li Qi didn't know, and he didn't care if he knew, because he really just came to eat.
After tasting more than 400 dishes, Li Qi put down his chopsticks.
It's okay, just barely, but compared to Zhu Fengdan's takeout he has eaten, the difference is really big. Even ingredients like swordfish can't compare. It can only be said that it is in the eighth and ninth grades. It's pretty good, on the level of ordinary delicacies, not on the level of rare treasures.
After Li Qi finished eating, he patted Ju Ye on the shoulder: "You eat first. If you don't finish it, pack it back and eat it. I'll go over there to see the scenery. Call me when you pay."
After saying that, Li Qi stood up from the dining table and walked to the floating rooftop outside under the gaze of many people.
There, an eighth-grade man was looking at Li Qi. This was what Li Qi just felt, the strongest person here.
Li Qi walked over. The other person was slightly stunned, and then immediately realized that the person in front of him had discovered him.
So, he stepped forward and looked at Li Qi: "Your Excellency, you really have a good appetite."
"Just eating casually, that's all I have a hobby." Li Qi smiled.
"Then which dish do you think is most appetizing?" the other party asked again.
"That one." Li Qi pointed to one of the plates on the table.
The other party clapped his hands and immediately praised: "Good tongue, this thing is a bird from the slope. It originally weighed a hundred kilograms and tasted bland, but it was roasted with spices to add flavor, and then dried in the air. One hundred kilograms was reduced to fifty kilograms." , dried in the sun, folded into twenty-five kilograms, then cooked until mature, tightened using a secret method, leaving only one kilogram out of a hundred kilograms, and then shrunk to only one section, all the flavors were condensed into one mouthful, so that it has such a delicious taste. Furthermore, only masters of the Yuanshen Realm can catch Po Zhongniao alive. It is very difficult to capture and it is also very difficult to cook. Only this family can eat it within a radius of 100,000 miles. You caught it with just one bite, which shows that you are indeed a veteran in this industry. ah."
Li Qi glanced at the other party's superficial thinking.
He found that this person was not Gong Wei, but actually admired Li Qi from the bottom of his heart, and he even felt like a confidant towards Li Qi.
So Li Qi cupped his hands and pointed to another dish: "That's ridiculous, but apart from this dish, I think the rhizome also has some flavor. Compared with the others, it can be called top quality."
It was a rhizome of a plant, but Li Qi didn't know what it was. It tasted a bit like bamboo shoots, but was as crisp and tender as a yam. There was more water in it. It was probably from an aquatic plant, but it was different from lotus roots. Obviously It is a species unique to this world.
It's really delicious and the cooking is very good.
The man was even more delighted, and the feeling of confidant emerged in his heart, and he gushed again: "When it comes to the beauty of vegetables, there are five things: first, they must be clear, second, they must be clean, third, they must be fragrant, fourth, they must be crisp and tender, and fifth, they must be distant from fat. .”
"The vegetables grown at home are the most filthy. The five vegetables are only crisp and tender. This is because when fertilizing, the roots and leaves must be watered. The accumulation of manure over time has completely lost the cleanliness and fragrance. It should not be eaten unless it is necessary."
"The wild vegetables in the mountains are slightly better. They are both crisp and tender, but also fragrant. Because they are born in the mountains, they have the atmosphere of the mountains and forests, but after all they are born from the soil. The soil is cheap and it is difficult to talk about cleanliness."
"Furthermore, like bean sprouts, these watery things are not stained with earthiness, so they have the word "clean". In addition, they are crisp, tender and fragrant. Three out of five are considered worthy of eating."
"Moreover, they are mushrooms, fungi, without roots or pedicles. They come into being suddenly and suddenly pass away. They have form but no body. Things that have body must have dross. If there is no dross, it is a bodyless thing. Therefore, it is clear, clean, extremely fragrant, and even more crispy and tender. Four out of five, it can be called top grade, but the mushrooms are still like meat, too fatty, and have lost some taste."
"As for the best food, it is the vegetable in the water. It grows from the water, does not have the smell of soil, is crisp, tender and fragrant, clean, white and tender, and has a more delicate fragrance. They are all pure and wonderful things. Eat them like fish and shrimps drink water, and eat them like fish and shrimps drink water, and eat them like fish and shrimps. Dew, fragrant and elegant, all five are present, this is the best product."
"It's just like what you ordered."
The other party was so excited that he was so excited that it was hard to express in words for a moment. He seemed to really like to eat.
Li Qi also likes to eat, but he only likes it and does not pursue it. He likes to eat delicious food, but he does not love it to this extent, so he cannot empathize with the other person.
However, this pursuit of favorite things is one of the driving forces of Zhudao, so although Li Qi cannot empathize, he can understand it.
Therefore, Li Qi slightly nodded: "I love you so much. It seems that brother is taking this as your guide?"
"Ah? What does it mean to take this as the way?" The eighth-grade man was a little confused and didn't quite understand what Li Qi was talking about.
Li Qize frowned slightly.
Sure enough, the path of this world is not something you pursue yourself.
They practice not to pursue the path, but to become stronger.
"That is to say, wouldn't it be fun to integrate diet into practice?" Li Qi said with a smile.
But the other party shook his head: "Hey, what's going on? It doesn't add to your strength, it's just unnecessary. If practice can't make you stronger, what's the point? Let's forget it. Just keep these things for fun."
"What's the point of practicing if you can't pursue what you love?" Li Qi asked.
"The more this is the case, the more important strength is. After all, only by living and living better can you have hobbies." The other party just smiled. Although he did not agree with Li Qi's words, for a rare confidant like Li Qi , he still maintained his tolerance.
At this point, he suddenly clapped his hands: "By the way, I forgot to mention who I am. My surname is Ou, and my name is Ou Xianqing. I am in the Yuanshen realm. This restaurant is my property. What do you think?"
"My name is Li Qi, and my realm is... higher than the Yuan Shen realm." Li Qi said.
He didn't call him inferior, after all, the other party might not be able to bear such a title.
"So you're a great master in the Ascension Realm? Then you met a senior today." The other party immediately saluted and said.
The reason for the salute is also very simple, because Ou Xianqing investigated Li Qi's cultivation level.
Can't see through.
This is indeed a master. Even if the opponent is not in the Ascension Realm, he is probably not far behind, otherwise he will not be completely unable to understand the basics.
"I think it's pretty good. By the way, the meal cost hasn't been calculated yet. I don't have any spiritual stones on me. Let's do this. I'll also serve a dish. Ou Lou mainly thinks it's acceptable. Can I waive the meal cost?" Li Qi said.
"Oh? Senior Li said that, but I've become curious, please." Ou Xianqing suddenly became interested.
It's rare to see a gourmet like this who has the same hobbies as him. It's probably not easy for him to come up with food.
Li Qi himself is not very good at cooking, so his level is probably higher than these eighth-grade wines. He does have a good way of making wine, but it is basically wine for sacrifices. The standard is standard, but the taste is not the first. Everything is focused on the characteristics of sacrifice.
But Shen Shuibi, over the past few hundred years, because of Li Qi's love for eating, Rabbit actually developed good cooking skills for this purpose. Although it is not as good as her alchemy skills, it can still make Li Qi enjoy family life very comfortably. .
For this, Li Qi was grateful and deeply proud.
So what Li Qi took out was definitely not made by himself, but Zhu Fengdan's takeaway.
Yes, Zhu Fengdan often orders takeaways. Although they are called takeaways, they are all truly high-quality products. The ingredients may not be precious, but the cooking skills are definitely on point.
After all, you don’t have to eat ingredients to eat. Sometimes you eat the way and the chef’s skills and skills. This is also very interesting. Moreover, Zhu Fengdan often can’t finish the meal and even orders a large table to eat only a few dishes. Li Qi naturally Just put it away.
Don't want it for nothing.
But at this moment, it was naturally impossible for Li Qi to send the precious ingredients out. It was not that he was stingy and reluctant to part with it, but mainly because these eighth-grade people would probably explode after taking one bite, and they would not be able to enjoy such delicacies.
So he chose a kung fu dish and put it out.
This hand made Ou Xianqing's pupils shrink slightly.
Where did it come from?
Li Qi also noticed the other person's eyes, and scanned his shallow thoughts to know what the other person was thinking.
In the mortal world of immortal heaven, there are no mustard bags.
Also, the mustard bag in the world is essentially an extraterrestrial space opened by the powerful, allowing people to send things in. Immortal Heaven does not have such kind-hearted powerful people. In other words, they do not have magic weapons for storage. After all, it involves The magical powers of space are all quite advanced, and the eighth level is not qualified to get involved.
But it didn't matter, Li Qi didn't care either. Anyway, he had other agenda for giving the other party a taste.
An ordinary plate of noodles was brought out, even a bowl of plain noodles, and the ingredients used were no more than eighth-grade Qingyang wheat.
Of course, the eighth grade was an ordinary ingredient for Li Qi, so what he made was a Kung Fu dish, but not for Ou Xianqing.
He could only feel a rush of fresh air.
Li Qi waved his hand slightly, and the bowl of noodles quickly turned from cold to hot. It was originally leftover food that had been stored for a long time. Li Qi just thought it was a waste, so he put it away.
After the noodles were hot and fragrant, Ou Xianqing couldn't wait to reach out and take them over. Regardless of the majesty of the powerful Yuanshen realm, he picked up the chopsticks, took a sip of the soup first, and then tasted the noodles...
After that, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
This feeling……
Your own inner world——
Indescribable.
His cultivation level was stirring, and his skills seemed to be responding to the bowl of noodles.
He seemed to feel that the chef who made this bowl of noodles had poured his own efforts into it, using extraordinary techniques to inject his understanding of the world and pasta into this bowl of noodles.
In the past, Ou Xianqing would have said that this kind of thing was complete nonsense.
It's just cooking and eating. Although he likes it, this kind of thing is not on the table after all. Why can it be compared with the powerful magical power?
However, after eating this bowl of noodles, he suddenly felt...
This is not ridiculous.
There is nothing funny. There is still an understanding of the world in this bowl of noodles.
Yes, that's what matters.
When you have your own unique understanding of the world, whether it's cooking, blacksmithing, fighting, or studying, the essence is the same.
It’s all about putting your understanding and views of the world into practice.
Can’t the understanding you gain from making noodles and how you use ingredients and kitchen knives be used in other places?
There is no such truth.
Everything is common. Your understanding of the world through cooking can be shared with other places as long as it is deep enough.
This is the 'commonality'.
The "commonality" of the world, this "commonality", pursued to the end, is the "Tao" virtualized by Taoism.
The source of everything, in which all things lie.
The beginning of heaven and earth, the mother of all things, the most mysterious and the most mysterious, the door to all wonders.
The Tao is pure and simple. The Tao generates all things and is embedded in all things. The Tao is in things and things are in the Tao.
This Tao is where the name 'Taomen' comes from.
So, why can’t diet lead to battle?
Through eating and drinking, one enters the 'Tao', and then passes through the 'Tao', and then extends to fighting.
Everything comes from Tao. "Tao" is the mother of the beginning of all things in the world. The opposition and unity of yin and yang are the essence of all things.
In other words, why are we obsessed with the classification of 'diet', 'fight' and 'manufacture'?
Is there any significance to this classification? This is just the practitioner's own preference.
As long as you can explore the 'Tao', you can have your own unique understanding of everything, whether it is fighting or eating, you can go deep into it.
Ou Xianqing, seems to have realized something?
It turns out that this is spiritual practice
It was just a bowl of noodles, but the Tao rhyme in it vibrated, but he suddenly realized something——
In order to accumulate mana, to increase killing power, to be stronger, but... can this really make you stronger?
Maybe, but it's definitely not as powerful as directly understanding the essence.
It's like, no matter how exquisite you make the bow and arrow, no matter how sharp you sharpen the arrow, you can't beat a musket.
why?
Because the use of "force" by muskets is more profound, and the "Tao" used by muskets is deeper than that of bows and arrows, the power exerted is naturally stronger and has a higher upper limit.
What Ou Xianqing did before was making more powerful bows and arrows, but he never thought about making guns.
At this moment, he became aware of the gun.
This is what Li Qi wants to do.
He wants to preach in the fairy world. (End of chapter)
