Chen's Arrival

After having some time off, Sanra was a little bored in Zul'Aman, and just wanted to enjoy the peace and quiet of time. In this leisurely time, he met an old friend, Lao Chen, who had come to Amani by boat from Sinsaro as a guest as promised before. ✊🍟 ✌♧

Naturally, Chen and Zul'ra were extremely welcome to the arrival. Not to mention the papermaking skills, tea seeds and gourd seeds they got from him, the sense of closeness evoked by his familiar black and white furry face was enough.

The best way to entertain Pandaren is to prepare a table of delicious food. Zul'ra also did the same and asked the chef to prepare a table of Trolls's special dishes. Well, of course it's not about people's hands and feet. Amani has stopped the custom of eating people. Now Amani's special dishes are stir-fries and soups, and the staple food is rice and noodles.

Zul'ra brought stir-frying, steaming and other cooking methods to Amani a long time ago. Those cooking methods have now been applied and promoted in the hands of Forest Trolls. Amani's Trolls are also used to the combination of rice, steamed buns and cooked meat, eggs and vegetables. Occasionally, they have special porridge and soup to warm their stomachs, cooked corn on the cob or roasted sweet potatoes as snacks.

Trolls's special dishes were full of praise for Chen. Zul'ra asked the chef to pick a big gourd that was just planted this year and fry it into a big plate. A large pot of soup was stewed, which shocked Chen. Pandaren didn't know that gourds were edible. They always only picked the gourds and processed them into containers, such as wine gourds and water gourds.

Facing Chen's astonishment, Zul'ra burst out laughing, but also felt a little bit proud in his heart. The population of our country is so large, and the food is naturally rich. Any animal offal, plant roots and leaves that are not meat or vegetable are not taboo. They are all trained in a tight life. If you have to feed too many mouths, you will not starve to death.

Although Pandaren have never eaten Trolls-style dishes, they are not taboos either. Chen has tasted all kinds of food from Trolls After reading it, he even praised the strong smell of rotten fish and marinated animal offal. While eating and drinking, he told Zul'ra about his adventures in Ironforge and Blackrock Mountain.

Wine and food are Pandaren's favorites. Lao Chen's original goal was to go to Ironforge to taste the dwarves' wine, which he did. However, after he wandered around Ironforge, he accidentally overheard a conversation in the bar about the Dark Iron dwarves' good brewing skills, so he immediately turned around and wanted to go to Blackstone Mountain via Searing Gorge.

Chen originally wanted to go to Blackrock Mountain to find Dark Iron Dwarves, but at this time Blackrock Mountain had been replaced by Black Dragonflight Dark Horde controlled by Nefarian occupied it. Before Chen could enter Shadowforge City, he was driven around by the black and gray-skinned Orcs and those Trolls. However, by mistake, he got involved with a group of Dark Iron Dwarves who called himself Thorium Brotherhood.

Following Thorium Brotherhood's Dark Iron Dwarves, Chen embarked on a long adventure on Burning Steppes, and finally successfully obtained the winemaking process he wanted. It was already half a year ago, and it took him almost a year to arrive at Jintha'Alor.

Zul'ra had originally told Jintha'Alor's Trolls to pick up Chen, and later asked him several times in person. Cook, who was handling the matter at Jintha'Alor, also remembered this, so after knowing that Chen was coming, he immediately asked him to board a grain ship to arrive at Zul'Aman.

Chen was very grateful for Zul'ra's kind hospitality. He also asked about Zul'ra's situation and taught the Trolls cook how to make noodles, steamed buns, spring rolls, dumplings and other Pandaren foods. This made up for Trolls's shortcomings in cooking pasta.

Zul'ra I was not from the north before, so I don't know how to knead and flour the dough. As for Trolls's current method of steaming steamed buns, they are adapted from the way humans bake bread. The advantage is that you don't have to worry about burning, but the taste is definitely not very good and can only be used to fill your stomach.

In addition to delicious food, Chen also taught Trolls how to use gourds to make water scoops, how to make soybeans into tofu, and gave Zul'ra some special seeds he brought from Wandering Isle, including sugar cane, red beans, mung beans, soybeans and other crops.

Zul'ra was a little strange about the various crop seeds that Chen carried with him. He asked him if he was Druid and how he could bring so many crop seeds with him when he left his hometown. Chen also smiled and answered that he was afraid that he would not be able to return to his hometown after getting lost, just like Wandering Isle left Pandaria.

Liu Lang drifted on the sea with a gradually increasing number of followers. In the beginning, life was very difficult because there was never enough food. However, as his turtle mount Shen-zin Su grew bigger and bigger, it even grew land. Liu Lang came up with a good idea for this, which was to bring crop seeds. The land can provide a steady stream of food, as long as they are diligent enough.

Liu Lang's idea was correct. When he sat on Wandering Isle, Shen-zin Su could no longer find the path to Pandaria in the fog, but what happened? The Pandarens living on his back can have no worries, because they built a farm and a winery on Shen-zin Su's back, and it became their new hometown, no different from Pandaria.

Chen was also afraid that he would not be able to return to his hometown like Wandering Isle, so he brought a lot of seeds with him in case of accidents. In addition, some of the seeds he brought could be eaten directly, and some could be grown quickly, such as mung beans. Just soak them in water and put them in a container to protect them from light. White and tender bean sprouts will grow in a few days. They can be eaten after being fried, which is very convenient and fast.

Pandaren's wisdom was just like that of his old family members in his memory. Zul'ra was so impressed that he personally took Chen to visit Zul'Aman and asked him for advice on Pandaren's wisdom and Way of the Monk. Chen did not hide anything from him and taught Pandaren the secret of wisdom. Eat what you should eat, drink what you should drink, and keep yourself plump and healthy.

The key to wisdom is "living in the moment", and in Monk skills, Chen mainly teaches skills. There are two main types of Monk Kung Fu training in Pandaren. Either comes from hard training, using the chores of carrying water to understand and exercise the body and mind, or it comes from life, using the comfort of drinking to fly.

Zul'ra has a good body, but he cannot achieve good results in combat training because his body movements are too stiff. Chen also simply changed the method. Instead of asking him to carry water and split stone slabs, he was asked to dance. He learned to stamp his feet, shake his legs, stretch his arms, and coordinate his hands and feet to make his body move like a swift bird.

According to Chen's method, Zul'ra changed his practice method. At first, he felt a little ashamed, and it always felt weird spinning and dancing in front of people to the music. However, after he was released, he felt that his body was light and fast under the influence of music, and Chen also began to teach him how to identify the vital points of the body and feel the Qi in the body.

In fact, Zul'ra doesn't need to comprehend the concept of Qi, because he has already mastered it. It is the invisible vitality he felt before. Chen was quite surprised by the process of learning Qi, and then, without trembling, he began to further teach Monk about Zen and the use of Qi, and did some sparring with him.
