Chapter 1407 Extra (I) When the Moon Was
A new era, a new era.
Qian Yun sat cross-legged on the bed, holding the Universal Awareness Talisman in his hand, and focused on the live broadcast projected on the wall opposite.
The "God of Cooking Competition in All Heavens and Worlds" sponsored by Moon Palace is coming to an end. At this moment, the last two contestants will compete for the title of God of Cooking in front of "Fairy Guanghan" Ruan Yushu. The winner will not only be awarded the title of "God of Cooking" The divine king who holds the corresponding authority can also receive a bottle of Guanghan's fine wine "laurel wine", which can extend life by a full 90,000 years and has the effect of rebirth.
In the Moon Palace, the light is bright and clear, as if covered with a layer of silver gauze. "Guanghan Fairy" Ruan Yushu is bathing in it, kneeling and sitting behind the desk, upright, with focused eyes and a serious expression.
Although her appearance was vague, it still gave people a stunning impact, and Qian Yun couldn't help but admire her in his heart. She was worthy of being recognized as a stunning beauty among female fairies.
In the center of the pavilion directly opposite Ruan Yushu, there stood a half-man-high copper furnace, spraying out a mixture of green and dark flames. The yin and filth were so strong that it made one's heart beat with fear when looking at it.
Next to the copper stove, stood a man in black robe, with disheveled hair and morbidly handsome features. It was Dong Shuli, the "murderous stove king" who first appeared. It was said that he was a descendant of the fallen former cooking god and inherited the other's Although he has taken on all the responsibilities, he has blazed a new trail on his own, taking the eccentric approach to the extreme and winning along the way. Not only has he received a lot of criticism because of his cooking style, but he has also gained recognition from both friends and foes because he is indeed more delicious every time.
He cupped his hands as a salute and said coldly:
"The way of nature, the more dangerous it is, the more beautiful and brilliant it becomes, and food is no exception. That's why there is a popular saying of 'eating puffer fish to the death'. Today I use 'ghost-faced jellyfish whiskers', 'seven-step mangrove sap' and 'netherworld devil centipede'" The most poisonous things of the Five Elements such as the teeth, the jealous fire python bag, the stomach of the gold-eating bird, etc. are used as materials, supplemented by the burning of the Nine Yin Demonic Fire and the control of the Poison King of Heaven and Earth, in the Zhiyin Zhi The evil hour comes out of the oven, cook a 'Nine Deaths and No Regrets Soup', it is extremely poisonous and extremely delicious. Even if you are an immortal, you will taste it even if you have lost your cultivation level. If you take a bite of it, the aftertaste of the underworld will come back to you!"
"Of course, as a legendary power, the fairy can only enjoy the delicious food without worrying about the toxicity affecting her too much."
After saying that, the acupoints around Dong Shuli lit up one by one, bursting out with strange light, and merged into colorful horses. The chirping sounds were endless, as if they were poisoning the void, and the mustard seed ring was bright and beautiful, but also concealed terror and horror. The ingredients are drawn out one by one, and according to mysterious rules and specific weights, they are slowly put into the copper furnace and are burned by the "Nine Yin Demonic Fire".
Gradually, the demonic fire weakened and only rose at the bottom of the copper furnace. Depending on the time, it kept changing under the control of the "Heaven and Earth Poison King Art".
After the "Nine Deaths and No Regrets Soup" entered the final and longest cooking stage, Qian Yun and other viewers saw an ordinary-looking woman stepping into the hall, wearing a dark blue dress, giving people a dull feeling, as if she was the one competing for the day. Du Yuanzhi, the "Mr. Xiao Du" who is known as the God of Cooking.
Those who are gentlemen, masters come first, regardless of male or female, and in the way of gourmet food, Du Yuanzhi is enough to be called sir. There is also "Mr. Du" Du Danggui who became famous for participating in the "Master Chef Competition of All Worlds". Therefore, she is "Mr. Xiao Du". Her cooking style is upright and peaceful, returning to nature. The more common dishes are, the more unforgettable they are. She is very popular among the vast majority of audiences including Qian Yun.
Du Yuanzhi saluted solemnly, calmed his expression and said:
"This time, what I want to make is a bowl of porridge."
A bowl of porridge? How can a bowl of porridge reflect your cooking skills? How can it be compared with a delicacy like "Nine Deaths and No Regrets Soup", which is complicated to cook, has few ingredients, is dangerous, and makes people can't help but get closer? Qian Xuan hugged the pillow tightly, biting the edge, and his heart beat faster.
"This bowl of porridge will be made of 'Dragon Tooth Rice', based on the sweetness, longing, pain and loneliness of my thirty-seven years of tossing and turning. It will be cooked with 'Seven Emotions and Six Fire Techniques' and added with recitations of Buddhist scriptures." "Nian Nian and other supplementary materials." Du Yuanzhi's eyebrows softened, as if he was immersed in memories, "I named this bowl of porridge 'Qiu Bu'. You can't get it when you ask for it. There is a bitterness in the bitterness, but it can't hide the original feeling. The sweetness and heartbeat, it is the most beautiful, unforgettable and most irreversible past. Drink this bowl of porridge and remember this taste. There will not be another bowl, because all my feelings in this aspect have been invested here. , unable to make another bowl, just like that person at the beginning, who could only look at it from a distance and ask for nothing. "
She spoke a little messily, but her voice was low and deep into people's hearts. Hearing Qian Xuan and others' inexplicable feelings, they felt strangely calm. Then they watched her perform the "Seven Emotions and Six Fires Technique" and began to cook the bowl of "Unable to Ask". of porridge.
As time passed, the "Nine Deaths and No Regrets Soup" was completed first. The copper stove was opened, and drops of water flew out just like the stars hanging upside down in the sky. They fell into the jade bowl, which was exactly half the size. It was crystal clear and could show different colors depending on the angle. It was beautiful. It was astonishing, and the aroma was even more astonishing. The maids of the Moon Palace serving around him couldn't help but swallow their saliva, squirmed their throats, and felt an appetite that was unimaginable in the past.
Ruan Yushu's expression was solemn and solemn, as if he was facing the most pious thing in the world. He picked up the small bowl, closed his eyes, and took a sip.
After thinking about it quietly for a moment, she drank it one after another without caring about her image. When no trace of the "Nine Deaths and No Regrets Soup" was left, her face was sometimes red and sometimes blue, but she quickly recovered.
"After drinking it, there is a feeling of fireworks in the mouth, which is extremely stimulating, brilliant and delicious." Ruan Yushu commented concisely, then picked up another small bowl and drank a mouthful of nectar to wash away the previous feelings, so as not to affect the subsequent judgment.
Dong Shuli showed a smile that was hard to hide, stepped aside, and waited for Du Yuanzhi to finish the "unrequited" porridge.
After a while, Du Yuanzhi opened his own furnace and poured out a bowl of seemingly ordinary white porridge, but the Moon Palace maids around him first sniffed, then closed their eyes, showing sweet and beautiful satisfied expressions, as if the fragrance alone made them taste the essence of this bowl of porridge.
The white porridge was served on the table in front of Ruan Yushu, and the maids immediately showed expressions of loss, melancholy, longing, pain, but yearning, as if it was not a bowl of porridge, but the "white moonlight" that they always cared about in their hearts and could not get.
Ruan Yushu closed her eyes again, picked up the jade bowl, stirred the spoon, and took a small bite.
She seemed to be still there, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time. The corners of her mouth were sometimes raised, sometimes twitched, but she was more happy than melancholy.
After an unknown amount of time, she opened her beautiful eyes, which were clearly black and white, and as bright and clear as the moon. She said gently:
"The simple delicacy is not as good as the 'Nine Deaths No Regret Soup', but for every taster, there will be a feeling of deep love. This is the taste in the heart, this is the taste of memories, and I want to keep it and taste it slowly."
"The winner of this 'All Heavens and Ten Thousand Worlds Chef God Competition' is Du Yuanzhi."
After saying that, without looking at the expressions of the two, and without paying attention to the discussion in the Ten Thousand Worlds General Knowledge World, Ruan Yushu took out a small bottle of mutton fat and flew it to Du Yuanzhi, smiling lightly and elegantly:
"This is a fine wine made from the flowers of the thousand-year-old laurel tree in the Moon Palace and aged peaches. It can extend your life for 90,000 years, can help you reborn, and also has a calm charm."
At this time, Du Yuanzhi was both happy and immersed in the emotions just now. He smiled complicatedly for a while, took the "laurel wine", and couldn't wait to taste it. It was not for the effect of prolonging life, but simply wanted to experience the deliciousness that he had never tried before.
The sweet taste entered his mouth, and the coldness entered his heart. Du Yuanzhi suddenly felt that he was drunk. The emotions of missing, sweetness, joy, pain, unwillingness, loss and melancholy that had just arisen settled one after another, leaving only satisfaction and calmness.
The eyes were blurry, the cold moon was hanging high, and the light was bright, just like his heart, so quiet and peaceful.
It’s not that he has forgotten the past, but that he has gotten rid of the shackles. His life has its own various forms and experiences. These have nothing to do with him. His likes, his sweetness, and his pain have nothing to do with him.
Looking at the bright moon, looking at the cold and noble fairy in the Moon Palace, a poem slowly flowed through Du Yuanzhi’s heart:
The bright moon was there at that time, and it once shone on the colorful clouds.
