Cooking Three Spirit Dishes
Just as Li Yunjing was resting with his eyes closed, Mo Xuan came looking for Li Yunjing.
It was said that two people had come to visit outside the mountain gate, and that they had already made an appointment with Li Yunjing.
Li Yunjing asked Mo Xuan to invite the two people in.
Before long, Li Yunjing saw the Immortal Alliance Cuisine Pavilion and a burly young man.
Li Yunjing was stunned the moment he saw the young man.
Is this guy really fifteen?
Does Li Yunjing remember what the chef said?
His nephew was only fifteen years old.
But the young man in front of them was broad-shouldered and burly, with hands as large as palm-leaf fans, and a height of eight feet.
Only his face did look a bit too young.
Otherwise, from any angle, he doesn't look like a fifteen-year-old child.
"Greetings, Sect Leader Li."
The head chef bowed to Li Yunjing.
The young man beside him was the same, his eyes filled with intense curiosity.
"Sect Leader Li, this is my nephew, his name is Hou Zihao, and his nickname Houzi."
Chef Hou smiled and introduced the young man beside him to Li Yunjing.
Li Yunjing nodded slightly and said, "Let's not delay, let's go straight to the Spirit Cuisine Pavilion."
Chef Hou nodded in agreement.
Li Yunjing led the two to the Spirit Cuisine Pavilion of the Luozhen Sect.
Upon arriving at the Spirit Cuisine Pavilion, Hou Zihao trembled, his eyes bulging as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.
Although Spirit Cuisine Pavilion isn't a very high-class restaurant...
Even though it's only a level 1 Spirit Cuisine Pavilion, it can still be described as magnificent.
"Come with me inside and have a look," Li Yunjing said.
Upon entering Spirit Cuisine Pavilion, Li Yunjing did not stop.
Instead, he took the two directly to the kitchen.
The kitchen was clean and bright.
The knives, cutlery, and other utensils were all neatly arranged.
The kitchen is also very spacious.
There are five large stoves.
Five pots were placed on each of the large stoves.
If the power is fully utilized, it can support twenty-five spirit chefs cooking together.
We arrived at stove number one.
This is the Wang Shanming used before.
The remaining stoves are not yet open to the public.
"Your uncle said you can cook three kinds of first-grade spiritual dishes. What are they?" Li Yunjing asked, looking at Hou Zihao.
Hou Zihao's expression hardened; Daozhen test had arrived.
"Reporting to the sect leader, the dishes are Treasure Fish, Roasted Green Fang Pig, and Fish Rice."
Upon hearing these three names, Li Yunjing's mouth watered slightly.
Li Yunjing actually loves to eat too.
It's a pity that time was limited, otherwise Li Yunjing would have liked to learn how to cook spirit food himself.
"Not bad." Li Yunjing nodded slightly.
"I'll give you time to prepare all three of these spiritual dishes."
If you satisfy me, you may stay.
Remember, give it your all, don't let me down.
After speaking, Li Yunjing looked at Chef Hou.
"Chef Hou, shall we go outside and wait a moment?" Li Yunjing said.
Chef Hou wanted to give Hou Zihao some more instructions.
Hearing this, they had no choice but to give up.
He knew Li Yunjing was worried that he would impart some knowledge to Hou Zihao so that Hou Zihao could cram at the last minute.
Li Yunjing and Chef Hou left.
Hou Zihao looked around at the spacious kitchen.
"This is the place I've always dreamed of," Hou Zihao murmured to himself.
With a pat on his Storage Bag at his waist, a first-grade magic sword flew out.
Not long after, disciples of the Luozhen Sect delivered the corresponding ingredients.
The first-class dishes include white-scaled fish, Azure Fang Pig, and Golden Jade Rice.
There are also other miscellaneous ingredients.
Hou Zihao Spirit Concentration his breath and closed his eyes to rest for a while.
He then stood up, took a knife, and began to gut the fish.
Outside, inside the hall
Li Yunjing and Chef Hou chatted and laughed.
Chef Hou was distracted.
His gaze kept drifting towards the kitchen.
"Is Chef Hou worried about him?" Li Yunjing asked with a smile upon seeing this.
Chef Hou felt helpless.
"My nephew is good in every way, except he's too arrogant. He looks down on this and that."
If he can seize this opportunity, everything will be fine.
If I fail to seize the opportunity, well, I don't know what to do.
Li Yunjing smiled and said nothing.
Arrogance is never a flaw.
When used correctly, arrogance can become a virtue.
But at that moment, Li Yunjing twitched his nose.
He smelled a fragrance.
"Hmm, the aroma of meat fat... this must be the Roasted Green Fang Pig, right?" Li Yunjing asked Chef Hou with a smile.
Chef Hou nodded. "This spiritual dish was created by Zihao himself, based on the recipes of senior spiritual chefs."
I've tried it; it tastes quite good and also has special effects.
This spiritual food can nourish a cultivator's skin, improving its resilience.
"Oh?" Li Yunjing was stunned.
Spiritual foods with special effects are rare.
Most spiritual foods have similar effects.
Either provide spiritual energy so that cultivators can refine it and improve their cultivation level.
Or it may have healing effects, which is exactly what food therapy is all about.
A slightly less common method is to nourish the body and soul, thus prolonging the lifespan of cultivators; this is what is meant by Food Nourishment.
In addition to these three functions,
The remaining effects are special magical effects.
Foods with special spiritual effects are extremely valuable.
Li Yunjing never expected that Hou Zihao would be able to cook such a spiritual dish, especially since it was his own creation.
"Chef Hou, you've really given me a pleasant surprise this time," Li Yunjing said with a smile.
Chef Hou couldn't help but smile.
"No, no, I just hope Zihao can catch the eye of Sect Leader Li."
As they were talking, Hou Zihao came out of the kitchen and brought over two plates the size of two heads.
On the plate was a stack of Azure Fang Pig.
It's been grilled; it's still sizzling and dripping oil.
The aroma of roasting meat fat immediately filled Li Yunjing's nostrils.
"Sect Leader Li, this is Roasted Green Fang Pig, and two more spiritual dishes; they'll be ready soon."
Hou Zihao said a few words and hurried back to the kitchen.
"Chef Hou, would you like to try some?" Li Yunjing said with a smile.
Chef Hou nodded, picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of Azure Fang Pig, and put it in his mouth.
"Sigh, even though I've eaten it before, I'm still amazed when I taste it again," Chef Hou remarked with emotion.
Li Yunjing also picked up a piece of sizzling, oily Azure Fang Pig and put it in his mouth.
With one bite, the meat juices mixed with oil burst in Li Yunjing's mouth.
Combined with Hou Zihao's unique secret recipe, the fragrance captivated Li Yunjing.
Li Yunjing ate a piece of meat in a few bites and savored the taste.
This Azure Fang Pig wasn't greasy at all; after eating one piece, I wanted more.
Just as Chef Hou said.
Li Yunjing felt an extremely small amount of energy gathering under his skin.
For me, the special effects of the Roasted Green Fang Pig were ineffective.
After all, he was in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
This spiritual dish is only of the first grade.
But for Qi Refining cultivators, this spiritual dish is quite good.
Li Yunjing picked up another piece of Azure Fang Pig and ate it in a few bites, but was still not satisfied.
Li Yunjing already had an answer in his heart regarding whether Hou Zihao could stay.
Hou Zihao could stay on just by having this Roasted Green Fang Pig.
Only after finishing the plate of meat did Li Yunjing's taste buds feel satisfied.
However, before he could rest for long, Hou Zihao carried a new batch of spiritual food out of the kitchen.
A bowl of rice and a bowl of fish soup.
Hou Zihao presented the dish to Li Yunjing with great confidence.
"Sect Leader Li, please have a taste. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Upon hearing this, Chef Hou immediately frowned. "Zihao, you mustn't be rude."
Li Yunjing smiled and glanced at Hou Zihao.
He looked at the two spiritual dishes in front of him.
The rice is crystal clear and has a unique fragrance.
This is not the aroma of ling rice.
It did smell similar to the fish soup next to it.
In that bowl of fish soup, the fish's belly was bulging, and its stomach was stuffed with something.
Li Yunjing first picked up a piece of fish and took a bite.
Then he stirred up a clump of spirit rice.
Next, they opened the fish's belly to see what was inside.
After putting down his chopsticks, Li Yunjing made up his mind.
Both dishes tasted quite good.
But the effect is only average.
