Chapter 184 The Food Tasting Conference is Coming to an End
After searching for a long time, Chef You finally found a jar of pickled toon in the corner of the cabinet, which was prepared by Sister Ci for herself.
Fresh toon is difficult to preserve. Even with the most advanced preservation technology, it is impossible to keep toon fresh for a long time, let alone a year.
According to Ling's assistant, every time the Chinese toon sprouts new buds, a jar of pickled Chinese toon will be sent from Crack or Star Track, and the sender is either Bai Xuer or Crack.
Cooking with pickled toon is a must for Luzi's family during the New Year. It is not only a memory of Sister Ci's childhood, but also the food that Luzi and his family look forward to the most during every New Year.
Pickles are delicious, but eat them in moderation.
Therefore, every year Sister Ci would keep a close eye on the two children, not allowing them to steal food and would limit the amount they could eat, and would hide the food in even the most shabby corners.
The corners of the cabinets were quite common, and one year they were even hidden in the mezzanine of the cabinet. But they were still discovered because the entrance to the mezzanine of the cabinet was too large and not well hidden.
A proper cabinet will not have mezzanines.
After Sister Ci accidentally broke a hole in a cabinet while cooking, she suddenly had an idea and hollowed out the side of the cabinet with her bare hands and hid the jar inside. However, the hole was too big to repair, and even after the repair, there were still some differences, which were discovered by the two little detectives.
The ingredients are ready and everything is ready.

Tomato and Chinese toon noodles are about to be made.
Chef You repeated the cooking steps from the previous time, scooping out the tomatoes separately and then adding the noodles back in. This time she was careful and made sure she put them in the right place.
She was a little worried that the noodles would multiply, especially since she had put nearly seven handfuls of noodles in there. But there was no sound outside, which meant everything was fine. If there was a problem, there would definitely be a sound.
The truth was, the food tasting group was so busy eating that they had no time to talk or chat.
"How much should you put in?" Chef You opened the jar and asked.
"Just grab a small handful. If you grab too much, it will trigger the formation engraved on the jar. Sister Ci will know." Assistant Ling replied.
Sister You was puzzled: "Formation?"
"It is said that eating too much pickled vegetables is bad for you, but we are all monks, and we can decompose and excrete harmful and toxic impurities after eating, so there is no need to worry at all. But Sister Ci doesn't think so, so after we secretly ate nearly half a jar one year, we started to limit the amount." Assistant Ling sighed.
Under the guidance of assistant Ling, add a small amount of toon leaves and wait for the noodles to be 70% to 80% cooked before taking them out.
Pickled toon is pickled with salt, so it is very salty and should not be consumed in large quantities.
Chef You turned down the heat and waited for the noodles to cook. What Xi Ling said did not exist in the memory fragments. The physique of a monk was much better than that of an ordinary person, so they should not be stopped from eating in moderation. Her intuition told her that there must be something fishy, ​​otherwise there would be no limit.
"How much is the half jar you mentioned?"
Xi Ling knew that Zhu Qingyou wanted to know the whole truth of the incident, so she said, "It happened a long time ago."
"Then keep your story short."
"One year, Xiaolu and I were taken to the Rift by Sister Ci to celebrate the New Year. Lao Jia and Sister Xuer were also there, including Uncle Qingmei, um, or Auntie. There is no gender distinction for cultivators who have become plant spirits, unless they choose it themselves."
"That year, during the New Year in the cracks, they went out to buy New Year's goods. Deer and I went into the cellar, where we saw a meter-high jar. When we opened it, we found the pickled Chinese toon we liked to eat."
"After they came back, only a little bit of the pickled juice was left in the jar. We also drank the green plum juice next to it. It's a little salty, but it quenches thirst. Chinese toon itself has spiritual energy, and for ascetics, eating too much is indigestible."
"Because we ate too much secretly, our spiritual energy accumulated in our bodies, causing indigestion. We couldn't eat for a week straight, so we've been limiting our food intake ever since..."
Somehow, Zhu Qingyou suddenly recalled what a supporting character said when she was watching the drama with Luzi that day:
What is the relationship between you three? I think something is a little strange!

The two of them existed as one, and Assistant Ling could not help but sense the thoughts in Qingyou's mind, including that demonic sentence.
"..." Xi Ling was silent, "Don't let your imagination run wild!"
Zhu Qingyou had just arrived here, and she actually didn’t know much about the relationship between Bai Yunci and Bai Xuer. She just thought they were familiar friends like everyone else.
But in fact, Sister Ci and Sister Xuer are sisters.
The world consciousness of the crack is like a mother to them. Like Meng Li and the other two, they were created by the world consciousness and nurtured to grow up with care.
The two grew up in the crack since childhood. When it came to the year when they had to make a choice, Sister Ci went to Xuanmeng, and Sister Xuer became the world leader and prepared to support the crack. She met Lao Jia on the floating island, who fell in love with Sister Xuer at first sight, and opened a shop, sincerely inviting Sister Xuer to be the boss.
I won’t go into details about their past, but it is true that Lao Jia and Sister Xuer were a Taoist couple and each other’s first love.
Rumor debunked: Lao Jia is really very young!
As for why there were rumors that he looked like he was in his thirties or forties, we can only say that it was all Lin Xun's fault.
You and your good brother agreed to go together, but one day your good brother suddenly said to you, I seem to have fallen in love at first sight, and decided to turn over a new leaf and no longer go around harming others with you.
This is secondary, the point is...
Lin Xun didn't care about it at first, but one day when he came back from work, his good brother told him that the other party had agreed to his pursuit, and he was going to have a Taoist partner, and he had sent an invitation.
One of the three troublemakers is a pseudonym for two people. Whoever is free will play the role, and their ages are completely fictitious.
When it comes to the age issue between Lin Xun and Jia Baizhen, the former is older. The latter looks too young when doing things, so he deliberately makes his face look older so that he looks more mature.
Although both of them look like young talents, the difference in their reputations is quite large. The former is feared by everyone, while the latter mainly cleans up the mess and does not do anything outrageous, so in other people's eyes he is at most a rebel.
After Lao Jia decided to open a store, his reputation immediately improved.
Lin Xun felt very sad. Coincidentally, at this moment, Jia Bai was still showing off his love in front of him, bragging that he had two apprentices, a successor, and his business was booming.
Even when selling something, one has to hide one's identity, mainly because one has done too many bad things in one's early years. If one doesn't hide one's identity, no one would dare to buy from him.
With his reputation, he was notorious and no one was hired, so most of the employees of Mengdi were cheated by him, and those he chose had no way out. When the other party was on the verge of despair, he came like a god. Although he was still reluctant, at least he had employees.
But the successor has not yet been found...
He was envious. His eyes were the same as those of a rabbit. By chance, he saw three cubs with very good qualifications. After a lot of cheating and fabrication, he got three heirs.
But this is not enough, not enough to calm the anger in my heart.
With an apprentice to run the shop, Lao Jia gradually handed over all the work to Lin Wu, Lin Ruo and others. He seldom showed up, so the rumor spread that the owner of Yijing Tongbao was actually very old, probably in his forties or fifties.
Then the rumor spread and it became known that he was actually only in his 30s.
After Lao Jia catches up with his sweetheart, he will not change his appearance. After all, the other party likes this face of his. If it weren't for this face, his persistence would not have been successful, and he might even have been beaten.
The two have been together through ups and downs for nearly a hundred years. A hundred years is enough time for Lao Jia to find opportunities and make himself more mature.
The ascetics practice to eliminate impurities, and there are no ugly ascetics at all. Even the most ordinary ones will have their own characteristics. The most important thing to note is that after the ascetics practice to a certain level, their appearance will be fixed. If they become famous at a young age, their appearance will also be fixed at that stage.
After years of research, Lao Jia finally figured it out. The main reason was that he didn't want to be called a brother and sister when he stood with his Taoist partner on the street! After hearing this rumor, Lin Xun went to the door to make trouble, and after that, he felt completely relieved.
If you are not satisfied, you can use the Suyan Pill to change your appearance and freeze your face in youth, adulthood, middle age or old age according to your wishes.

Although the Yirong Pill is acceptable, it is not as popular as Yijing Tongbao's Surong Pill, and it is cheaper!
After Lao Jia developed the product, he directly listed the Su Rong Dan as one of the signature dishes in the store. In order to celebrate his anniversary with his Taoist partner, he offered a very low price and the raw materials were also quite cheap, so he made some profit.
As for the disguise pill, no one would buy this thing if they have nothing else to do, unless they are hiding from enemies. No matter whether it is of high quality or low quality, disguise has a time limit.
(Inferior Disguise Pill: After the disguise, the appearance is horrible. You can tell at a glance that an inferior Disguise Pill was used. It will not cause damage to the skin, but the effect is... equivalent to the random free face pinching in the game.)
(High-quality Disguise Pills: You can adjust them carefully by yourself, and the time will be longer.)
As the past events of the past came to mind, the noodles in the pot turned over and gradually cooked.
Chef You turned off the fire and served the dish. Assistant Ling tasted it and found that the taste was perfectly restored.
Every chef has his or her own cooking habits, or preferences.
Some people like to eat cucumbers, so they add cucumbers as seasoning to every dish they make, including every dish and every soup.
How is this any different than eating the same meal every day for a month?
This is probably the depth of love. You won’t get tired of your favorite food even if you eat it for several months or even half a year, because it is your favorite food, how can you get tired of it?
But if you eat a dish that you don't like or have no feeling for for several months in a row, and the main ingredient remains the same, you will not like it even if you change the way you cook it. You may even go from being indifferent to it to hating it, and even never want to see it again.
Xi Ling and Zhu Qingyou have a common habit when cooking, which is that sometimes they use soup bags to season the dishes, or make their own universal seasoning bags.
For example, when stewing meat, everyone is used to adding their favorite seasonings when stewing the meat, and then adding different seasonings according to the dishes when cooking.
How could they not succeed since the two of them have similar habits and work together to restore the taste in their memories?
At this moment, the food tasting group outside finally finished eating the noodles. The kitchen door was not closed tightly. They smelled the smell coming from the kitchen with pain on their faces: the delicious happiness is a little heavy!
Sister You asked in her heart, "Didn't you get beaten that year?"
After buying New Year's goods and returning home, I found that the pickled vegetables and brewed juice in the cellar had all been eaten by my children. It was a good thing that my blood pressure didn't rise.
"No, Sister Ci and the others were very worried about me and Luzi. Grandma didn't expect that Luzi and I would eat most of her pickled Chinese toon and drink up a jar of juice brewed by Uncle Qingmei."
"The final test result was indigestion, bloating."
"It can't be as simple as eating most of it. Didn't you say before that only the bottom was left?" Sister You was in a complicated mood. The rumor she learned by chance made her emotions fluctuate a little bit... It was a very complicated mood that was hard to describe.
"There's only a thin layer left at the bottom. If we had come a little later, it might have been all eaten. It tastes really good. But it's a bit choking!" Assistant Aya said, missing the Chinese toon pickled by hand from the crack.
Bai Xu'er is also good at it, but the taste is different for Xi Ling. Everyone has their own habits when cooking, and even if the steps are exactly the same, it seems that the taste will be very different if it is not made by the same person.
Even dishes cooked by the same person can taste completely different, but no one can tell for sure, and the real answer can only be known by those who taste the food.
The cook makes the dishes from his memories, the same dishes but with different tastes.
Maybe this is what missing someone means.
"What I miss is not the food, but the person." Sister You thought.
Xi Ling hadn't eaten for a long time. Looking at the home-cooked dishes that were within reach but actually so far away, she swallowed.
She warned herself: Be focused!
Therefore, she interrupted Qingyou who was also absent-minded and said, "Don't be sentimental. We still have one dish of kelp to make."
Before Zhu Qingyou could even open her mouth, her stomach started to growl. After being busy for so long, the food was right in front of her. She really felt like everything she saw was food. She was so hungry that her chest was sticking to her back. Besides being hungry, she was also greedy.
"I'm hungry……"
Sister You, Luzai and the six people in the food tasting group have not learned the secrets of fasting, so they must eat when it is time to eat.
"Then you eat this pot and then cook the other dishes." Xi Ling said, swallowing her saliva several times. She stared at the hot food in front of her through Zhu Qingyou's vision.
Zhu Qingyou said, "Let's eat together. I'll eat first, and then you come out."

Xi Ling stared at the freshly prepared meal and said without refusing, "That's fine!"
People who are extremely hungry and greedy will not think too much about it. Zhu Qingyou was relieved to see that the other party agreed and didn't need to think of any reasons.
The two of them lived together as one, and they could sense what the other was thinking. When Zhu Qingyou suggested eating just now, he felt a strong sense of hunger swallowing him up.
In addition to his own perception, there is also Xi Ling's.
This is the temptation of delicious food.
She felt a second of pity for the original body. Look at how hungry the child is.
More than ten years have passed, and Qingyou only consumes spiritual energy and not food. The moment the words came out of her mouth, she almost lost control of her body.
Xi Ling's desire for delicious food exceeded her imagination.
It is impossible for a monk not to eat grains. There are so many delicious foods in the world. At most, the impurities need to be decomposed after eating. So what?
This can't stop the determination of foodies.
It’s not like I’m obsessed with the world!
Can the temptation of delicious food be called temptation?
This is the desire for food and drink, which everyone has. Moreover, there are also monks who practice the way of eating. Doesn’t this explain everything?
If you don't agree, please see the second one.
As long as a monk lives in the world, he must abide by the rules, and also abide by the world rules set by the world consciousness.
There are only a few general rules. You cannot use magic in front of ordinary people. For example, your strength will be suppressed in the Mysterious Dream Realm, which is a place for retirement and seclusion. Therefore, it is normal for the world consciousness to restrict the monks to work and rest like ordinary people.
World consciousness was born after the world developed to a certain extent. Rules are above everything else. For practitioners, this is the Great Dao. Is it wrong to listen to the Great Dao? Aren’t they pursuing the Great Dao?
Therefore, there is no rule at all that says that being obsessed with food is wrong and that pursuing food is an indulgence in worldly affairs.
No matter where or when you are, it cannot stop foodies from loving delicious food.
Normal food articles all start with the color, smell and taste, but I’m different, An An. I start with the production process, mainly because I’m afraid I’ll get greedy while writing, but I don’t know how to cook it. It’s simply a delicious temptation and torture.
The more I write, the hungrier I get. It looks delicious but I can’t eat it, so I didn’t write about the last dish. Next chapter preview: The food tasting conference is officially over. I hope I can finish writing…
[Gossip drama: Lao Jia and Sister Xuer first met]
I like you, can you be my Taoist partner? This is the first time I like someone, and I don’t know how to express my feelings. (I started with a straight shot, and Lao Jia’s mind went blank when he looked at the person in front of him)
Sorry, I don’t like people who are older than me. (Sister Xuer was trying to be tactful, but in Lao Jia’s ears, it meant that I don’t like people with old faces.)
Then he tore off the disguise himself, and the young man turned into a teenager. Even though his heart was moved, he looked really young, so Sister Xuer said he was too young. Lao Jia was anxious and wanted to prove that he had really been an adult for a long time, but just looked too young.
So after years of persistence, Lao Jia finally got what he wanted.
