532、The Garden(1/3)
The pivot point of the Blue Sky Lake Formation is called Blue Sky Pavilion, and the pivot point of the Biyue Lake Formation is called Biyue Pavilion. According to this convention, any future Blue Sky Washing Formation will be named in the same way.
The shape of the Moon-covering Pavilion is almost the same as that of the Blue Sky Pavilion. The pavilion has four pillars, but the top of the pavilion is round. In the center of the pavilion, a four-legged round tripod with a rare shape is placed.
There is a circular groove in the center of the tripod, which is where the Blue Sky Washer is placed, and the Xuan Mizhu will be placed on the top of the Cuanjian Gourd Pavilion directly above the Blue Sky Washer... These are the tasks that Hua Zhenxing will do tomorrow.
The round tripod is also an alchemy furnace, which was jointly built by the instructors of Yangyuan Valley in the institute. After the alchemy furnace is built, it is usually necessary to sacrifice the furnace. The common method is to make a furnace of elixirs. This time, Hua Zhenxing chose to cook a hot pot.
The water elixir method is also a type of elixir method. The name sounds mysterious, but in fact, most ordinary people are familiar with it. The most common method is boiling medicine.
It is a liquid refining method or liquefaction method, which can not only use the boiling point of a specific liquid under a specific pressure to control the temperature and heat, but also use different solvents for materials with different physical properties.
St. John's Company reprocessed Chun Yong Dan into a vitality medicine. Although it is commercially packaged, it can improve the effect and experience of taking it. It also uses the water elixir method, but they may not call it that name.
Therefore, shabu-shabu is also a simple and primitive water-based alchemy method. Its purpose is not to refine any panacea, but to cook the ingredients and add flavor to make them more suitable for consumption.
Different pot bases and dipping sauces have their own particularities, as well as the ingredients, which have formed many schools in history. As for today's hot pot meal, it is very special. It is both a hot pot and a panacea in a sense, because the ingredients are very special.
Hua Zhenxing cast spells with his own hands, condensing the water vapor in the air to form dew. He mainly learned this skill from Manman.
Then he took several bone sticks and broke them in the middle, and went down to the alchemy furnace to make soup. These are the bones of Xiqu. They look like the thigh bones of a cow, but they are actually the tarsal bones equivalent to the human feet.
He burned wood to make a fire, and used magic power to boil the water, which was making soup base. Yue Gaole frowned and said: "These bones are a treasure from heaven and earth. Isn't it a pity to use them to make hot pot?"
Hua Zhenxing said without raising his head: "It's just a soup to taste. It's just fresh. The bones that have been cooked through the soup are still a natural treasure, and you won't lose them."
Yogao Le: "I thought you were going to feed them to the dogs."
Hua Zhenxing: "What kind of dog can chew such a bone?"
Yue Gao Le: "What I want to ask is - what kind of soup can cook this kind of meat bones? How long do you have to wait to get the flavor from the soup base?"
Hua Zhenxing: "Don't worry, wait a little longer and it will be midnight snack time."
Yue Gao Le: "You came here after dinner, but I haven't eaten anything all day. Besides, if you just use water to cook it like this, it won't be able to survive at noon tomorrow. Don't you plan to activate the big formation?"
Hua Zhenxing: "With your level of cultivation, it doesn't matter if you don't eat for a few years, right?" Even so, he stretched out his hands and pressed them on the tripod. It seemed like invisible flames rose up, quickly wrapping and covering the tripod.
Alchemy...
This alchemy furnace had no lid, but no smell came out. After about two or three minutes, Hua Zhenxing finally let go of his hands and took a few breaths, as if he was very tired.
The alluring aroma instantly overflowed the stone pavilion. As long as you smell it, you can't help but salivate. Hua Zhenxing sniffed and began to add various seasonings to the soup. The aroma gradually became more and more
Tempting.
About Gao Le: "Is that just Nanming Lihuo?"
Hua Zhenxing: "Mr. Yue has good eyesight and even knows this."
Yue Gao Le: "How could I not even recognize this! Who did you learn it from?"
Hua Zhenxing: "After I broke through the four realms of cultivation, Mr. Yang taught me. Later, I made the first batch of Chunrong Dan with my own hands, and Mr. Yang told me that this surgical method is called Nanming Lihuo."
Yo Gao Le: "You actually use it to cook?"
Hua Zhenxing: "After I learned it, I first used it for cooking, and later for making elixirs."
Yue Gao Le: "The essence of Nanming's Lihuo is to control the subtleties. If the heat is just a little off, the food will be gone."
Hua Zhenxing: "Really? I've never had any problems. I've been cooking with an alchemy stove since I was a child. The nine-turn purple gold stove in the grocery store."
Yue Gao Le: "The nine alchemy furnaces in your house are all ancient artifacts, and each has its own name. It is not called the Nine-turn Purple Gold Furnace!"
Hua Zhenxing: "I know, the Nine-turn Purple Gold Furnace is the name of the formation. Mr. Yang used the nine pots and stoves to create the Nine-turn Purple Gold Stove Array. It's easy for me to call it that... Okay, it's time to rinse it.
, you can make the dipping dish yourself according to your taste.”
The two chatted for a long time and were busy, and when the official start of the shabu-shabu ceremony happened to be around midnight. Hua Zhenxing took out the tables and chairs and placed various ingredients, including snow wolf meat, rhinoceros meat, plus several side dishes and dipping sauces.
This cauldron was not originally used for hot pot, so it was a bit deep. What they both took were fried dough sticks. Yue Gaole opened his cheeks and ate with joy, as if he had been hungry for several years.
There is no sign of eating.
After eating for a long time, he put down the kuaizi and said, "Do you have any wine?"
Hua Zhenxing took two bottles of wine and put them on the table. Yue Gaole frowned again and said, "Foreign wine?"
Hua Zhenxing: "The word "foreign wine" comes out of your mouth, it's so fresh! Wage Liang, the person in charge of Wage Mining, likes to collect fine wine. When he heard that I was back, he had to ask someone to bring me two bottles of his wine.
The best wine I have collected in recent years.”
About Gao Le: "This wine is quite expensive, but it tastes just average. Is there any truly good wine?"
Hua Zhenxing waved his hand and exchanged two more bottles: "Local product, Kelin Daqu."
After cooking the hot pot for nearly two hours, Yue Gao Le left with a burp. He seemed to have come just to eat the hot pot. When he left, he patted his belly and said, "Xiaohua, this hot pot of yours is really delicious."
The tastier!”
Seeing him turn around and disappear into the night, Hua Zhenxing did not put away the tables and chairs, but added another table and two benches on the other side of the alchemy.
Then only one person laughed and said: "The more you eat, the more delicious it becomes? You idiot, the soup base is just right at this moment!"
Hua Zhenxing was startled again, but he behaved extremely calmly. When he turned around and saw the person coming, he bowed and saluted: "Mr. Yang, you are here... Oh, the head of the house is here too!"
Old Man Yang walked into the Moon-Sealing Pavilion with a carefree attitude: "Master Fang is here to visit the headquarters of Huanxiang Industrial this time. I happen to be free, so I came here to have a look.
You are very clever, how did you know that my old man is here? Then as soon as Gao Le leaves, the pot of soup is just right, so you set up the tables, chairs and bowls and come out quickly."
Hua Zhenxing didn't even know that Old Man Yang was there, let alone that Fang Chuanchan was also here. He set up extra tables and chairs, originally wanting to call Manman, Locke, and Lian Na over to have supper together.
Old man Yang is right, this pot of soup has been cooked at the best temperature so far. Hua Zhenxing uses Nanming Lihuo technique to cook rhinoceros canal bones. Although the soup base is ready, many seasonings are added later.
Then it was simmered for almost an hour, and then it reached the optimal heat and texture. That's why Yue Gaole said that the more you eat, the better it tastes. Now you can call Manman, and then call Locke and Lina, who haven't seen each other for a long time.
.
Before he could call someone, Old Yang and Fang Chuanchan arrived. He quickly replied: "Every time I make delicious food, Mr. Yang will definitely show up, so I just prepared it...
Invite a few people to accompany you and Mr. Fang for a late-night snack?"
Old Man Yang waved his hand and said: "Then just scream, as long as you can sit down."
Hua Zhenxing notified Manman and others with his spiritual thoughts, and they rushed over soon. After sitting down, they cooked the hot pot together and were full of praise. Of course, everyone also mentioned what happened today, and Hua Zhenxing used his spiritual thoughts to tell Yang
The old man told more details.
Old Man Yang also secretly said with his spiritual thoughts: "As long as you know what's going on! This kind of thing doesn't require me to take action, and now there's no need for you to do it yourself."
Hua Zhenxing knew in his heart that Old Man Yang was definitely not passing by by chance. According to his old man's behavior, if Hua Zhenxing could handle it, he would not show up and take action.
Nowadays, Yangyuan Valley has made great progress, and without Hua Zhenxing even taking action, the Jade Orchid Sword Formation commanded by Sima Zhi defeated the fierce Xiqu Demon King.
I must have asked Gao Le to arrive at that time, and Old Man Yang was also secretly watching him. At this moment, Huazhenxing was having such a hot pot meal, and Old Man Yang showed up at the right time.
Locke is now the mayor of Shire City and a senior official of the alliance, while Lian Na is the director of Chunrong Dan Center. Hua Zhenxing originally wanted to talk to them about the construction plan of the New Feso Port and the future relocation of Chun Rong Dan Center.
arrange.
With Old Man Yang present, Locke and Lian Na took the opportunity to ask some questions about cultivation. Although Old Man Yang was not a magician, he was more than enough to give them guidance.
During the dinner, Hua Zhenxing asked: "Mr. Yang, do you know where I can get a flying artifact?"
Old Man Yang: "Why are you asking this? Don't you already have a small bench?"
Hua Zhenxing: "What happened today makes me feel that it is very inconvenient not to have the Feitian artifact. If I were not here, Sima Zhi would not have the Feitian artifact. I plan to keep the small bench and let it be shared by the sect."
Locke hurriedly said: "Director Hua has to go to Wucheng. Without the Feitian Artifact, everything will be inconvenient. On the contrary, my cultivation has not yet reached its peak, and the Feiyun Boots will not be able to play a magical role. It is better to let Yangyuan Valley coordinate the deployment. Right now
Let Junior Brother Sima take it."
Hua Zhenxing shook his head and said: "Feiyun boots are your ancestral private property. Yangyuan Valley cannot take private weapons for public service. If you offer them to the sect because of my words, it will be a bad start. What will you do to others in the future?"
manage?"
The two of them argued for concessions. Luo Fugen wanted to dedicate Feiyun Boots to the sect for public use, but Hua Zhenxing thought that this was inappropriate and would make things difficult for others in the future, so he wanted to leave the bench in Yangyuan Valley.
It was not easy for others to interrupt, and Old Man Yang actually did not express his opinion. Later, Lian Na made an acceptable suggestion. The Feiyun boots did not need to be dedicated to the sect, but they could be temporarily borrowed in a private name before Locke could break through to Dacheng.
Give Sima value.
Finally, Hua Zhenxing sighed: "After all, my cultivation is still insufficient. If I have broken through the eighth realm, there will be no need for a small bench."
Old Yang's face darkened: "After you finish eating, please stay with Xiaohua. I have something to say alone."
Upon hearing this, everyone wasted no time, hurriedly finished eating and left, leaving Xiaohua alone with Old Yang. Based on past experience, it was obvious that Old Yang was going to teach others a lesson again.
But after everyone left, Old Man Yang didn't look angry and continued to cook the hot pot slowly with his long kuaizi.
He is a very quiet man and is not too talkative. He only sits aside and is responsible for pouring wine. According to past experience, if you don't speak, you won't say the wrong thing, and if you don't say the wrong thing, you won't get scolded more.
Hua Zhenxing didn't know what mistake he had made, but he had been used to being beaten since he was a child. Seeing Old Man Yang like this, he inevitably felt a little guilty. Suddenly, Old Man Yang asked: "You originally wanted to use that Earth Child today to make an appointment with me."
Gao Le, please change it to a flying artifact?"
Hua Zhenxing answered honestly: "Yes."
Old Man Yang: "You are at a huge disadvantage. Although the artifact is precious, it is not impossible to get it from Gambiste. If it is the most common flying artifact, it cannot keep up with the Child of Earth."
Hua Zhenxing: "This is not a business. Cooperation with Chunrongdan is a business. This matter is a favor between partners. Besides, I have no intention of giving the Earth Child to him, I just want to give him a look."
It’s just a special sacred stone, and there should be no shortage of it in Gambiste. What’s really valuable is what’s recorded and inscribed inside.”
Old Man Yang: "Then why did you suddenly change your mind again?"
