The roasted taro on Qin Yi's plate was authentic and original in flavor.

You have to peel the skin yourself, leaving a little bit at the bottom, then hold the taro in your hand with your five fingers together.

The upper part of the taro is white flesh, steaming upwards.

Qin Yi went to the kitchen and brought out a small dish of white sugar, handing it to the diners: "You can eat it with this white sugar, it tastes very good. If you like it, eat more. I have more in the kitchen, but you still have to be careful to eat in moderation, because eating too much taro can easily cause indigestion."

Bao Shan listened to Qin Yi's words and tried a small taro dipped in white sugar.

So delicious it makes you sigh: "Ah... I finally understand what the ancients meant when they said, 'When taro is roasted to perfection, even the emperor is no match for me.' Roasted taro is so delicious!"

"I used to eat steamed or boiled taro. I never imagined that roasted taro would feel like eating ice cream. It melts directly in your mouth without you having to chew it, and it flows smoothly down your throat."

After listening, Qin Yi smiled and said, "That's probably because you haven't tried this method before, so you find it novel. Actually, this dish is very simple, and the chili sauce is also very easy to make. I didn't have to put in much effort."

"Ah! I get it, boss, you mean this dish doesn't reflect your skill level, right? Then I'll draw another one! Can I have a special one?"

After Bao Shan finished speaking, he picked up the bamboo tube again to draw lots.

Qin Yi: "That's not what I meant..."

Bao Shan: "Hehe! I drew a blue fortune stick this time. There are so many ingredients in this basket! I don't know what to eat. Why don't you decide for me, boss? I trust your taste!"

Qin Yi stared at the basket of vegetables, a taro in her mouth, and pondered for a while.

"I've made up my mind! You wait here, I'll go make it for you right away."

This dish requires you to make a spice powder first.

Qin Yi stir-fried the minced ginger in a pan until dry, without adding a drop of oil, to force out the moisture.

Next, stir-fry the peppercorns in an empty pan over low heat until fragrant.

Fennel seeds and dill are also stir-fried in a hot pan until fragrant, then scooped out.

Then crush the peppercorns, dill, and fennel seeds, and mix them with the dried ginger.

Next, heat oil in a wok, add the drained bok choy, and stir-fry until it's half-cooked.

Add the soybean paste and the spice powder you just made.

Continue stir-frying until the vegetables are fully cooked.

Then, use chopsticks to pick out the bok choy one by one and arrange them layer by layer on the plate.

Place five or six rapeseed plants at the bottom of the plate, with the roots facing outwards.

The second layer also consists of five or six rapeseed plants, spaced 2 centimeters apart from the first layer, with the roots exposed and the leaves buried at the bottom, stacked in layers.

The third layer is slightly less, with three or four rapeseed plants arranged on top of the second layer, their roots interlaced.

Finally, casually sprinkle the remaining spices and minced ginger from the pot onto the green landscape.

After arranging the plates, Qin Yi brought them out and placed them in front of the diners.

The introduction states, "This dish is called 'Fragrance of the Mountain,' and it is a common home-style dish originating from the Song Dynasty."

"It has a mixed aroma of dill, Sichuan pepper, fennel and minced ginger. The aroma is released under the influence of high temperature baking and stir-frying. As the ancients said, 'Its fragrance is more delicious than that of forbidden delicacies,' hence the name."

Bao Shan was completely convinced this time: "I could smell a rich aroma even before I tasted it. Boss, your dish is amazing. The flavor is so rich and the presentation is so perfect. I admire you to the core."

"This plate of rapeseed flowers is shaped like a mountain, with layers upon layers that are quite ingenious. And its flavor is extremely fragrant, truly living up to its name of 'fragrant as a mountain!'"

He picked up a piece of rapeseed and chewed it. After only one bite, he looked up at Qin Yi in surprise.

"So this is your true level, boss?"

"This rapeseed is so fresh and fragrant, it's so tender and juicy in your mouth, and the aroma is intoxicating! But what's amazing is that it doesn't overpower the original sweetness of the rapeseed. If there were any more spices, it would be too much, and if there were any less, it wouldn't be so amazing. Boss, do you carry an electronic scale with you? The taste is just right!"

Qin Yi shook her head: "This is a dish that has been passed down from ancient times. With the seasoning of modern chefs, it has become more in line with our tastes. I have only made a slight modification by standing on the shoulders of giants."

After listening, Bao Shan fell silent, feeling as if he had gained some enlightenment after eating the dish.

Your account has received 99 yuan.

Qin Yi was tidying up in the kitchen when she heard the payment notification sound; the customer had already headed towards the temple.

She was surprised that the customer who had just paid 20 yuan would charge such a high price for the second dish. What was going on?

-----------------------

"Phew~~~~~"

"Phew~~~~~~~~~"

Xia Miaomiao got up at five o'clock in the morning and climbed the mountain for more than an hour before finally arriving at the entrance of Qingyuan Temple.

She felt like she had lost half her life.

I feel like I've been having the worst luck lately.

Work is incredibly busy every day, with only two days off a month. Moreover, my colleagues say that because of the poor overall economic environment this year, the boss will most likely cut salaries next month.

I recharged 8,000 yuan at the gym for personal training sessions hoping to lose weight, but it went out of business after just one session. Now I have to fight a lawsuit over this mess. It's exhausting.

Even her favorite barbecue stall could disappear into thin air. That day, she rushed to the entrance of Fanxi Hair Salon and registered her identity information with Lawyer Ma. The owner of Rainbow Blind Box Barbecue Shop had vanished.

I heard from other people in the group that after that day, the owner started doing private bookings and never set up a stall outside again.

What kind of mess is this?

My best friend told me that the Bodhisattva at Qingyuan Temple is very efficacious, but you have to burn incense early in the morning to show that your sincerity will bring results.

So she took a rare break during the month and started climbing the mountain at five in the morning.

May Buddha see her sincere heart and bless her so that her days will be smoother and less unlucky.

Xia Miaomiao climbed the mountain via a small path, which consisted of steps and led directly to the temple entrance.

When she reached the door, she smelled a particularly fragrant aroma.

The furrowed brows caused by fatigue slowly relaxed at this moment.

"I didn't expect the vegetarian food at Qingyuan Temple to smell so good. It's completely different from what I read online. It seems that you have to experience some things for yourself to know the truth."

Xia Miaomiao entered the temple, knelt and prayed devoutly to each Buddha, made some worldly wishes, and then lit three incense sticks in the incense burner.

After finishing her business, she couldn't stop thinking about the rich aroma she had smelled when she entered the room, so she went straight to the kitchen in the side hall and ordered a bowl of vegetarian noodles.

"Um... is it because this vegetarian dish doesn't look as appealing as it tastes? That must be it, otherwise why did it smell so good just now?"
