Encounter Taotie by chance at the beginning and practice longevity skills

Xianmeng continued: "Okay, Sister General, I will tell you this."

"You must know that the common way for mortals is to cook raw food by heating it over fire."

"And to make it taste better, some seasonings are added, such as chili pepper, peppercorns, salt, etc."

"Some foods that are not very tasty, such as animal meat, are not easy to handle because the meat is fishy and not suitable for our human tastes, so we need to cover up its fishy smell."

"At this time, I will use some onions, ginger and garlic."

Xianmeng paused for a moment to make sure the general kept up with his thoughts, and then continued to explain: "Actually, mortal cooking mainly changes the taste and texture of food through external seasoning and heating, making the food more suitable for humans. taste."

"For example, by boiling, frying, roasting, steaming and other methods, the taste of food can be made more diverse. At the same time, by adding various condiments, the flavor of food can be increased to satisfy people's pursuit of taste."

Seeing the general nodding, Xianmeng continued:

"But this is not how immortals cook. It is written in the book that the most essential difference between immortals and mortals is that immortals do not change the taste of food through external seasoning. Instead, they stimulate the taste of the ingredients themselves."

The general was a little confused after hearing this: "What do you mean?"

Xianmeng smiled: "Actually, I didn't quite understand it before, but then I thought about the Tianyuan Pill refined by Brother Xianren, and I understood."

"Look, the Tianyuan Pill actually contains blood essence, right?"

The general nodded.

Xianmeng continued: "But you didn't taste the fishy smell from the Tianyuan Pill. This means that when Brother Xianren refined the pill, he extracted the best part of it and discarded all the impurities. "

"That's why it tastes so good."

"Immortal cuisine is also similar to alchemy. It removes the bad parts of the food and retains the most delicious parts of the food. It is not the use of seasonings to cover up the bad taste of the food in mortal dishes."

After listening to Xianmeng's explanation, the general's eyes flashed with a glimmer of understanding, and she slowly began to understand the essence of Xianren's cooking.

She said: "Can I understand that this is the first step in refining the elixir? It only extracts the essence but does not condense the elixir."

Xian Meng shook his head: "Actually, I think it might be a little more difficult than refining alchemy."

"As an Xianjia dish, the most basic dishes are various kinds of meatballs. These meatballs are made by fusing the essence of various meats. They really look a bit like elixirs."

"Later on, when I advanced some dishes, I kept the original appearance of the food, but the bad taste has been removed from the food."

After hearing this, the general retreated: "No, Immortal Dream, this sounds much more difficult than refining alchemy."

"I can't even make elixirs well, and I find it a bit difficult to cook."

Xianmeng said: "Sister General, you will know after you try it."

The general nodded, but shook his head: "But we don't have the raw materials yet."

Xianmeng chuckled: "Sister General, you are already the dean, are you worried about not having the raw materials? Let me tell you, you are like this..."

The general was a little confused after hearing this, and she asked: "Is this really possible?"

Xianmeng said: "Don't worry."

The general was a little doubtful, and then he changed into Tang Yunting's appearance and went down the mountain.

Tang Yunting came to the cafeteria of the academy with a serious look on his face.

The people in the cafeteria were all disciples who had just entered, so most of them didn't know Tang Yunting.

However, Lin Bang, the manager of the foundation building period here, discovered Tang Yunting at once.

Lin Bang, facing a formidable enemy, straightened out his clothes and quickly walked up to Tang Yunting with a smile.

He said respectfully: "I have met the dean, do you need any help? There are many people outside and it is noisy. Do you want to go inside? Let's talk in detail."

Tang Yunting looked around, and then said to Lin Bang: "Don't be formal, I will just walk around casually. As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for people, and most disciples in the Qi refining period have to eat in the cafeteria. So..."

Tang Yunting paused after finishing speaking.

When Lin Bang heard this, he immediately took advantage of Tang Yunting's pause and said:

"Master Dean, please rest assured that according to your instructions, our ingredients are all fresh. Whether they are ordinary or special spiritual materials, they are carefully selected. There are dedicated personnel responsible for picking from the academy's spiritual fields every day. fresh vegetables."

"And the ingredients for the spirit beasts are specially provided to us by the spirit beast shop. Some of them are raised by us ourselves."

Lin Bang said as he led Tang Yunting towards the back.

Arriving at the warehouse of the canteen, Lin Bang opened the door of the warehouse and showed Tang Yunting the ingredients stored inside.

Tang Yunting was a little dissatisfied when he saw the various spiritual materials, spiritual fruits and fresh vegetables neatly arranged in the warehouse, as well as the spiritual beast meat specially hidden in the frozen formation.

"That's right, but, won't the refrigerated meat of yours taste a bit unpalatable?"

Lin Bang broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this, and quickly explained: "Dean, because the quantity here is relatively large, if every spiritual beast is killed now, it may take a long time to cook a dish."

"But we do still have some spiritual beasts here. Come with me."

Lin Bang led Tang Yunting through the warehouse and came to a large courtyard. This is simply a breeding farm, covering an area of ​​about 2 acres.

They raise various spiritual chickens and spiritual rabbits.

They are jumping around in the yard and look very healthy.

Lin Bang said: "We will raise some common small spiritual animals here, such as chickens and rabbits that are often eaten. No matter how large wild boars and bison are, they are all in the spiritual animal line."

Tang Yunting nodded: "Yes, yes, but you are a little short of chickens and rabbits."

Lin Bang understood after hearing this: "What the dean said is that the scale really needs to be expanded, and we are also making arrangements for this."

Tang Yunting smiled after hearing this: "Okay, let's do this for now. I'll go to the restaurant and the Spiritual Beast Shop later to have a look, so I won't stay here for a long time."

Lin Bang said with some disappointment: "That's it. I asked the cook to prepare it. I want you to try our craftsmanship here."

Tang Yunting shook his head: "That's it for today. I have other things to do. By the way, I've been in the dean's building recently, doing some repairs on the mountain."

Lin Bang understood instantly: "Okay, Dean."

Tang Yunting left with a smile, and Lin Bang also smiled.

After Lin Bang came back, he said to the disciple who was still feeding the chickens: "By the way, Xiao Wang, you catch five chickens and five rabbits and send them to the dean every day, starting tomorrow."

Xiao Wang was very puzzled. He also heard what the dean said just now, and he asked: "Why."

Lin Bang said to Xiao Wang: "Idiot, the dean doesn't come here even once every few years. When he comes, he says there are few things raised here. What does that mean?"

Xiao Wang was still puzzled: "What does it mean?"

Lin Bang said: "It means he needs the things here, and he doesn't want them dead, just fresh ones. I reminded you in the end that they are no longer in the dean's building now, so don't send them by mistake."

Xiao Wang felt incredible after hearing this.

Lin Bang also said helplessly: "Forget it, you don't know how to say hello when the dean comes, you are so clueless, I will take you there tomorrow."

"By the way, let's get some spiritual fruits and fresh vegetables. I'm sure the dean doesn't have any seasonings, so I'll get some."
