Chapter 664 Preaching

Li Qi noticed that on the rooftop, everyone seemed to be more elegant, ordering a few dishes and then slowly savoring them.

By scanning the surface thoughts of the people around him, he learned that, firstly, this was more elegant, and seemed to be tasteful, not a rough person chewing on peony.

Secondly, the dishes here are very precious and the price is quite expensive. For someone like Li Qi who ordered more than 400 dishes and only ate one bite of each, only the forces under the command of the dozen or so eighth-grade masters in the city could do it.

Oh, this is not called the eighth-grade, but the Yuanshen realm.

Anyway, that's it.

Others may not be able to afford it, but it is obvious that they will not spend this money recklessly, after all, the cost is not small.

So, when Li Qi did this, he would naturally attract a lot of attention. Many people began to secretly observe Li Qi and ordered their subordinates to investigate this sudden eighth-grade master.

Yes, everyone naturally regarded him as an eighth-grade master, because... if you do such a ostentatious thing without this level, the end will probably be very ugly.

Doing things at the level of your level is a rule deeply rooted in people's hearts in this world.

Of course, Li Qi didn't know, and he wouldn't care if he knew, because he really just came to eat.

After tasting more than 400 dishes, Li Qi put down his chopsticks.

It was okay, just barely, but compared to the takeaway of Zhu Fengdan he had eaten, it was really not ordinary. Even the ingredients like swordfish were not as good. It can only be said that it was good among the eighth and ninth grades. It was still the level of ordinary food, not the level of rare treasures.

After eating, Li Qi patted Juye's shoulder: "You eat first. If you can't finish it, pack it up and eat it back. I'll go over there to see the scenery. Call me when you pay the bill."

After speaking, Li Qi stood up from the table and walked to the floating rooftop outside under many eyes.

There, an eighth-grade was looking at Li Qi. This was also what Li Qi just felt, the strongest person here.

Li Qi walked over, and the other party was slightly stunned, and then immediately realized that the person in front of him had discovered him.

So, he greeted him and looked at Li Qi: "Your Excellency really has a good appetite."

"Just eat casually, this is my only hobby." Li Qi smiled.

"Which dish do you think is the most appetizing?" the other party asked again.

"That one." Li Qi pointed to one of the plates on the table.

The other party clapped his hands and immediately praised: "Good taste, this is the bird in the slope, originally it weighed a hundred pounds, and the taste was bland, but it was smoked and roasted with spices, and then air-dried, and the hundred pounds was reduced to fifty pounds, and then dried in the sun, and reduced to twenty-five pounds, and then cooked until it was ripe, and tightened with a secret method, the hundred pounds was only one pound, and finally shrunk to only one section, all the flavors were concentrated into one bite, so it was so delicious, and the bird in the slope can only be captured alive by a master of the Yuanshen realm, and it is extremely difficult to capture and cook. In this area of ​​100,000 miles, only this family can eat it. You only took one bite and liked it, which shows that you are really an old hand in this."

Li Qi glanced at the other party's superficial thinking.

He found that this person was really not Gong Wei, but actually praised Li Qi from the bottom of his heart, and even felt that he had a confidant with Li Qi.

So Li Qi bowed and pointed to another dish: "Thank you for the compliment, but in addition to this dish, I think that rhizome also has some flavor, and it can be called top quality compared to the others."

It was a plant rhizome, but Li Qi didn't know what it was. It tasted a bit like bamboo shoots, but it was as crisp and tender as yam, and it was more watery. It was probably an aquatic plant, but it was different from lotus root. It was obviously a species unique to this world.

It was really delicious, and the cooking was also very skillful.

The man was even more delighted, and a sense of knowing his friend sprouted in his heart. He continued to talk: "There are five qualities to be considered beautiful in vegetables. One is that they must be clean, two is that they must be clean, three is that they must be fragrant, four is that they must be tender and crisp, and five is that they must be free of fat and greasy."

"Homegrown vegetables are the dirtiest. They can only be tender and crisp because they must be fertilized with roots and leaves. The accumulated manure has completely lost their cleanliness and fragrance. They should not be eaten unless they have to."

"Wild vegetables in the mountains are slightly better. They have two qualities: tenderness and fragrance. They are born in the mountains and have the smell of the mountains and forests. However, they are born from the soil after all. They are cheap and have no cleanliness."

"Next, it's like bean sprouts. These water-grown vegetables are not stained with soil, so they have the word clean. In addition, they are tender, crisp and fragrant. They have three of the five qualities, which can be considered edible."

"Next, it's mushrooms. , mushrooms, without roots or stems, suddenly appear and suddenly die, with form but no body, things with body must have dregs, without dregs, they are bodyless, things without body, so, they are clear, clean, fragrant, crisp, tender, and have four of the five qualities, which can be called top-grade, but mushrooms are still like meat, too greasy, and lose some taste. "

"As for the best quality, it is the vegetables in the water, born from water, without the fishy smell of mud, crisp, tender, fragrant, clean, white, and fragrant, all of which are pure and wonderful things, eating them is like fish and shrimp drinking water, cicadas sucking dew, fragrant and elegant, with all five qualities, this is the best quality. "

"Just like the dish you ordered, it is like this."

The other party was in high spirits, and his excitement was indescribable for a moment, and it seemed that he really liked to eat.

Li Qi also likes to eat, but it is limited to liking, not to the point of pursuing. He likes to eat delicious food, but he does not love it to this extent, so he cannot empathize with the other party.

However, this pursuit of favorite things is one of Zhu Dao's motivations, so although Li Qi cannot empathize, he can understand it very well.

Therefore, Li Qi slightly nodded: "I love you so much. It seems that brother takes this as your guide?"

"Ah? What does it mean to take this as the way?" The eighth-grade man was a little confused and didn't quite understand what Li Qi was talking about.

Li Qize frowned slightly.

Sure enough, the path of this world is not something you pursue yourself.

They practice not to pursue the path, but to become stronger.

"That is to say, wouldn't it be fun to integrate diet into practice?" Li Qi said with a smile.

But the other party shook his head: "Hey, what's going on? It doesn't add to your strength, it's just unnecessary. If practice can't make you stronger, what's the point? Let's forget it. Just keep these things for fun."

"What's the point of practicing if you can't pursue what you love?" Li Qi asked.

"The more this is the case, the more important strength is. After all, only by living and living better can you have hobbies." The other party just smiled. Although he did not agree with Li Qi's words, for a rare confidant like Li Qi , he still maintained his tolerance.

At this point, he suddenly clapped his hands: "By the way, I forgot to mention who I am. My surname is Ou, my name is Ou Xianqing, I am in the Yuanshen realm. This restaurant is my property. What do you think?"

"My name is Li Qi, and my realm is... higher than the Yuan Shen realm." Li Qi said.

He did not call him inferior, after all, the other party might not be able to bear such a title.

"So you're a great master in the Ascension Realm? Then I met a senior today." The other party immediately saluted and said.

The reason for the salute is also very simple, because Ou Xianqing investigated Li Qi's cultivation level.

Can't see through.

This is indeed a master. Even if the opponent is not in the Ascension Realm, he is probably not far behind, otherwise he will not be completely unable to see the foundation.

"I think it's pretty good. By the way, the meal cost hasn't been calculated yet. I don't have any spiritual stones on me. Let's do this. I'll also serve a dish. Ou Lou mainly thinks it's acceptable. Can I waive the meal cost?" Li Qi said.

"Oh? Senior Li said that, but I've become curious, please." Ou Xianqing suddenly became interested.

It's rare to see a gourmet like this who has the same hobbies as you. It's probably not easy for him to come up with food.

Li Qi himself is not very good at cooking, so his level is probably higher than these eighth-grade wines. He does have a good way of making wine, but it is basically wine for sacrifices. The standard is standard, but the taste is not the first. Everything is focused on the characteristics of sacrifice.

But Shen Shuibi, over the past few hundred years, because of Li Qi's love for eating, Rabbit actually developed good cooking skills for this purpose. Although it is not as good as her alchemy skills, it can still make Li Qi enjoy family life very comfortably. .

For this, Li Qi was grateful and deeply proud.

So what Li Qi took out was definitely not made by himself, but Zhu Fengdan's takeout.

Yes, Zhu Fengdan often orders takeaways. Although they are called takeaways, they are all truly high-quality products. The ingredients may not be precious, but the cooking skills are definitely on point.

After all, you don’t have to eat ingredients to eat. Sometimes you eat the way and the chef’s skills and techniques. This is also very interesting. Moreover, Zhu Fengdan often can’t finish the meal and even orders a large table to eat only a few dishes. Li Qi naturally Just put it away.

Don't want it for nothing.

But at this moment, it was naturally impossible for Li Qi to send the precious ingredients out. It was not that he was stingy and reluctant to part with it, but mainly because these eighth-grade people would probably explode after taking one bite, and they would not be able to enjoy such delicacies.

So he chose a Kung Fu dish and put it out.

This hand made Ou Xianqing's pupils shrink slightly.

Where did it come from?

Li Qi also noticed the other person's eyes, and scanned his shallow thoughts to know what the other person was thinking.

In the mortal world of immortal heaven, there are no mustard bags.

Also, the mustard bag in the world is essentially an extraterrestrial space opened up by powerful beings, allowing people to send things in. Immortal Heaven does not have such kind-hearted powerful people. In other words, they do not have magic weapons for storage. After all, it involves The magical powers of space are all quite advanced, and the eighth grade is not qualified to get involved.

But it didn't matter, Li Qi didn't care either. Anyway, he had other agenda for giving the other party a taste.

An ordinary plate of noodles was brought out, even a bowl of plain noodles, and the ingredients used were no more than eighth-grade Qingyang wheat.

Of course, the eighth grade was an ordinary ingredient for Li Qi, so what he made was a Kung Fu dish, but not for Ou Xianqing.

He could only feel a rush of fresh air.

Li Qi waved his hand slightly, and the bowl of noodles quickly turned from cold to hot. It was originally leftover food that had been stored for a long time. Li Qi just thought it was a waste, so he put it away.

After the noodles were hot and fragrant, Ou Xianqing couldn't wait to reach out and take them over. Regardless of the majesty of the powerful Yuanshen realm, he picked up the chopsticks, took a sip of the soup first, and then tasted the noodles...

After that, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

This feeling……

Your own inner world——

Indescribable.

His cultivation level was stirring, and his skills seemed to be responding to the bowl of noodles.

He seemed to feel that the chef who made this bowl of noodles had poured his own efforts into it, using extraordinary techniques to inject his understanding of the world and pasta into this bowl of noodles.

In the past, Ou Xianqing would have said that this kind of thing was complete nonsense.

It's just cooking and eating. Although he likes it, this kind of thing is not on the table after all. Why can it be compared with the powerful magical power?

However, after eating this bowl of noodles, he suddenly felt...

This is not ridiculous.

There is nothing funny. This bowl of noodles still contains an understanding of the world.

Yes, this is the most important thing.

When you have your own unique understanding of the world, whether it is cooking, forging iron, fighting, or learning, the essence is the same.

It is all about putting your cognition and views of the world into practice.

Can't the understanding you get from making noodles, your use of ingredients and kitchen knives be used in other places?

There is no such reason.

Everything is common. As long as your understanding of the world from cooking is deep enough, it can be shared with other places.

This is the "commonality".

The "commonality" of the world, this "commonality", pursued to the end, is the "Tao" virtualized by Taoism.

The root of everything, all things are in it.

The beginning of heaven and earth, the mother of all things, mysterious and mysterious, the door to all wonders.

Tao is the whole and simple, Tao generates all things, and is contained in all things. Tao is in things, things are in Tao, all things have different paths but the same destination, all leading to "Tao".

This Tao is the origin of the name of "Daomen".

So, why can't eating lead to fighting?

Through eating, enter the "Tao", and then through the "Tao", extend to fighting.

Everything comes from Tao. "Tao" is the mother of the beginning of heaven and earth, and the opposition and unity of yin and yang are the essence of all things.

In other words, why should we stick to the classification of "eating", "fighting" and "manufacturing"?

What is the meaning of this classification? This is just the practitioner's own hobby.

As long as you can explore the "Tao", you can have your own unique understanding of everything, whether it is fighting or eating, you can go deep into it.

Ou Xianqing, seems to have realized it?

It turns out that this is cultivation

It's just a bowl of noodles, and the Tao rhyme in it vibrates, but he suddenly realized something-

In order to accumulate mana, to improve killing power, to be stronger, but... can this really become stronger?

Maybe, but it is definitely not as strong as directly understanding the essence.

It's like, no matter how exquisite you make the bow and arrow, and how sharp you grind the arrow, you can't beat a musket.

Why?

Because the firearm uses "force" more deeply, and the "Tao" used by the firearm is more profound than the bow and arrow, the power exerted is naturally stronger and the upper limit is higher.

What Ou Xianqing did before was to make more powerful bows and arrows, but he never thought about making guns.

And at this moment, he realized the existence of guns.

This is what Li Qi wants to do.

He wants to preach in the fairyland. (End of this chapter)
