Digimon Journey in the Spirit World

"Tsk tsk tsk~"

My eldest brother has never eaten the special version of Ziyuan Baofan, but he was fortunate enough to eat the normal version once ten years ago.

“You know, with the development of the times, some things are being gradually replaced and eliminated due to the complexity of production processes and cumbersome materials.

Ziyuan Treasure Rice is no exception. Even the ordinary version of Ziyuan Treasure Rice has the problem of hard-to-find ingredients and extremely high cooking skills. Gradually, no one is willing to make real Ziyuan Treasure Rice anymore. Instead, it is constantly replaced by modern ingredients and technology, and Ziyuan Treasure Rice has lost its soul and core, which is what you are eating now."

The eldest brother shook his head regretfully, not knowing whether this situation was a good thing or a bad thing.

It is not easy to evaluate Bai Ju either. Its high requirements mean that this delicacy cannot be widely promoted and can only be restricted to Qibao City.

Even in Qibao City, due to the changes of the times and the faster pace of life, fewer and fewer people are able to make this kind of food.

Conversely, if more and more people are making the dish, improving and replacing components that are no longer suitable for this era, there may be a chance to promote this delicacy and let more people know what Qibao is.

only……

By then, will people still know Shion Baofan as it is?

"What happened then?"

Seeing that his elder brother seemed to know a lot of things, Bai Yi couldn't help but ask.

Traveling means constantly exploring the unique culture of different regions.

As he spoke, Bai Di took the initiative to pour a glass of beer for his elder brother and handed it to him.

"Oh you kid~"

The eldest brother's worried brows instantly raised.

"Then let me tell you what happened at that time."

“Maybe the story started ten years ago.”

“The eighth generation head of the Shiyuan family had just taken office for less than half a year. As the head of the family, he had to go out to find the main ingredients for the Shiyuan Treasure Rice, but he never came back.

Some say he's missing, others say he was killed and eaten by a wild Pokémon, anyway, that's it, those who understand will understand."

“But the eighth generation’s children were still young and could not inherit the title of family head, and the seventh generation was bedridden for many years.

The Shion family is in crisis.

In the end, it was the seven generations who dragged themselves up and stood up to hold up the family, which prevented it from collapsing.”

"But the seventh generation was old after all. He only lasted four years before passing away."

"In the year when the seventh generation passed away, the younger brother of the eighth generation, the leader of the reform faction, stood up and took control of the Shion family at lightning speed."

"The so-called reformists are those who advocate changing the recipe of the Purple Garden Treasure Rice, streamlining it, and modernizing it."

"After they took control of the Shion family, they drove out all the conservatives, including several children of the Eighth Generation."

“Six years ago, when the new ninth generation drove the conservative faction out of the family, he thoroughly promoted the current method and materials for making the Shion Treasure Rice.

For a time, conflicts between the old and new versions arose in Qibao City.

But unfortunately, due to the shortage of materials, the real Shion Treasure Rice was squeezed out of Qibao City, and it became like this now. "

After the story was told, the eldest brother sighed repeatedly. He also missed the delicious taste of the real Shion treasure rice.

"Then... is there any way to make it now?"

Listening to the eldest brother's story, not only did Dong start to drool and cry, even Bai Yi couldn't sit still and wanted to find the real Shion treasure rice to taste it.

"It's difficult. About four or five years ago, the chefs who could still make Shion Treasure Rice left one after another because they couldn't accept the changes in Qibao City. Now they are probably scattered all over the world."

The eldest brother held his chin, thought for a while, and suddenly said "Huh?"

"I seem to remember that if there is anyone in Qibao City who can make Shion Treasure Rice, it might be only her."

"Who?"

"Yashiro's daughter!"

The eldest brother took out a photo album from his backpack and opened a page. There was a large group photo on it.

"I was a photographer back then. When Yashiro took office, I was invited to take photos and have dinner. It was during that time that I not only ate the regular version of Shion Treasure Rice, but also had the honor of seeing Yashiro personally make the special Shion Treasure Rice."

The eldest brother pointed to the handsome man in the middle wearing a lavender coat and said that this was the eighth generation head of the Shion family.

Then he pointed at one of the three children who was timidly grabbing the patriarch's trouser leg at his feet.

"This is the youngest daughter of the patriarch. She should have been five or six years old then. This year, she is fifteen or sixteen years old."

"It is said that when the conservatives were driven out of Qibao City, the two older children were already able to take care of themselves, so they followed the family elders and left Qibao City. Only the youngest daughter, who was only eight or nine years old, was taken in and raised by the owner of the Qibao Gym."

“As the children of the family head, I can’t guarantee the special version, but the real Shion Hohan is something they must learn.

So if you want to find the real Shion Hohan, you might as well go to the Qibao Gym, maybe there will be the clues you want there."

The eldest brother recalled the past and stroked the group photo in the album, which was his favorite photo, and the photo next to it was ordinary but the real Shion Baofan.

"Thank you, brother. However, this is our first meeting. Besides, you can see that we are from other cities. Why are you willing to tell us so much?"

Bai Di and the other person who didn't know Shion Baofan were naturally complete outsiders, and it made no sense for them to tell everything to a stranger.

“Like I said, I’m a photographer, although I’m not one now.

But I still have my eyes, eyes that have seen the beauty and evil in the world, which are enough to judge a person. "

The eldest brother pointed at his deep eyes, which seemed to contain mountains and rivers, and the starry sky. After staring at them for a long time, Bai Yi would wonder if the many beautiful sights of the world were really hidden there.

The eldest brother didn't say it explicitly, but as he said, he felt that Bai Yi and the other two were not bad people. What's more, he really missed that smell, so he told the information. As for how far Bai Yi and the others could go, that was not his concern.

"If we can really find it, I hope to share this delicacy with Big Brother."

Bai Di stood up. He had almost finished his meal and it was time to set off, not only for the gym challenge, but also for the real Shion Treasure Rice.

"Hahahaha, No. 3 Sanbao Street, I'll be waiting for your good news there."

……

After bidding farewell to the photographer brother, Bai Yu and his companions did not choose to look for a hotel to stay in, but instead followed the main road directly to their destination.

Qibao Museum!
