Chapter 335: Enlightenment Under the Bodhi Tree (×) Enlightenment at the Pancake Stall (√)
Standing in front of the Longwei wheat field, looking at the pale golden field that stretched as far as the eye could see, Lu Wenwu suddenly felt the joy and satisfaction of an old farmer's harvest.
After all, farming is a gene engraved in the bones of the Chinese people and cannot be changed.
When people are about to reach the end of the road, most of them will say - Damn it, at worst I can just go home and farm!
When people become successful, most of them will say - Damn, I must go home and buy a piece of land!
The same is true for Lu Wenwu.
Even if he doesn't farm the land himself, there are large tracts of land at the foot of Lingtian Mountain that are planted and tended by robots and spiritual puppets [fish farmers] of the True Dragon Clan.
He has some understanding of farming.
"Fifth Brother is quite lucky," Marcus said. "Ever since this wheat field was left unattended, the wheat here has grown like wild. It no longer matures as quickly, so the time it takes to mature and the scale of its growth have become uncontrollable."
"This is beyond my expectation. It's hard to believe that this is a wild species."
Lu Wenwu walked forward, stretched out his hand to pull off an ear of wheat, and rubbed the large, plump grains on it, each as big as an ordinary child's fingernail. He felt the vigorous vitality contained in them and was surprised.
As Marcus said earlier.
Not only do these wheat grains contain powerful dragon power due to the environment in which they grew, but they are also mixed with a lot of miscellaneous mixed magic power, plus some elemental power.
Some of these elemental forces conflict with each other. I really don't know why they can coexist harmoniously in these grains of wheat.
If this kind of wheat is ground into flour, it should be fine for a dragon with thick skin and flesh to eat it. At most, it will feel a little uncomfortable in the stomach.
If an ordinary person ate it, he would probably buy a coffin and prepare for burial that night.
Lu Wenwu used his hands to crush the bran outside a wheat grain, then put it into his mouth and chewed it carefully.
The fragrance of the endosperm and germ, along with a hint of sweetness, blooms in the mouth. Magic and dragon power, wrapped in a complex elemental force, spread out suddenly, washing away all the wonderful taste of nature.
“It’s really hard to solve.”
Lu Wenwu savored the grain of wheat carefully and muttered to himself.
Marcus, in dragon form, lay down on the soft grass beside the wheat field, watching the setting sun and the sunset glow in the sky, humming.
"I told you before, these wheat elders have been researching for a long time without any results. Although you are a good fighter, if we talk about..."
".But this is only for you."
Lu Wenwu added the second half of the sentence he had not finished before.
Glancing at Marcus, who was full of doubt, he smiled slightly and said, "For me, turning this Dragon Power wheat into the finest delicacy is as easy as pie. It's too simple."
Yes, it's simple.
Very, very simple.
Don’t think that Lu Wenwu usually just studies ordinary egg-filled pancakes.
But don't forget, he has a complete spiritual chef inheritance!
The profession of spiritual chef was created by a group of powerful cooking masters in order not to lose to professions such as alchemists, demon refiners, and pharmacists.
In other words, this is a herbalist unique to extraordinary people who can use dishes to achieve the effects of elixirs.
To achieve this step, blending the medicinal properties and making the final cooked dishes have color, aroma and taste are the foundation of the foundation.
The finished product made from Longwei wheat tastes difficult to swallow. The fundamental reason is that the dragon power, magic power, and miscellaneous elements contained in it are difficult to reconcile or be separated.
How could this not be easy in front of the spiritual chef?
"Simple?"
Marcus rolled over and looked at Lu Wenwu with suspicion.
"Fifth Brother, I admit that you are undoubtedly the strongest dragon of our generation, but aren't you bragging a bit too much when you say that this problem that has troubled the elders for thousands of years is simple?"
"Ha, you'll know once you try it."
Lu Wenwu did not argue, but took out his magic wand and waved it at the wheat field.
At the same time, he was muttering something.
The next moment, golden and plump grains of wheat flew up to the sky by themselves, forming a large black mass that blocked out the afterglow of the setting sun.
"Cleanse yourself."
The language of the dimensional wanderer was uttered, and a large amount of dust automatically fell off the wheat grains.
Each grain is as bright as new, as clean as if it has been sieved through an ultrasonic cleaning device.
"Take out the germ and bran."
With another wave of the magic wand, tiny figures burst out from the wheat kernels. Together with the bran that was shed from the outside, they were pulled to the other side by ancient magic and piled up into a small hill.
Ancient magic is so convenient that it's a bit unreasonable.
If you follow the normal steps, there is a very important step before grinding the wheat, which is called tempering the wheat.
The process is very simple, it actually just involves adding water to the wheat.
As the wheat kernel absorbs water, the outer bran becomes pliable, while the inner endosperm becomes soft.
This is to make it easier to grind the endosperm into powder in the subsequent grinding process, while preventing the bran from breaking and mixing into the flour, making it convenient to directly sift out the bran and germ so as not to affect the quality of the flour.
However, now there is a more convenient magic to do it, so this step can be omitted.
Lu Wenwu's "self-created ancient magic" is more direct and thorough than any technological means.
This is a precise operation that is accurate to every individual!
As the mysterious "spell" was chanted and the magic spell was cast, magic power and elements condensed into a huge magic millstone under Lu Wenwu's command.
Each specially processed wheat grain is finely ground to completely crush the endosperm, forming white and delicate endosperm particles.
Lu Wenwu felt the grinding process, constantly adjusting the position of the wheat grains to distinguish the elemental properties.
At the same time, he used the unique spiritual seal of the spiritual chef lineage to reconcile and straighten out the conflicting and complex elements within, calming the dragon's might and magic power that were constantly rampaging, and completely integrating them into the elements.
After this operation, the processed Longwei wheat flour presents a unique colorful color.
Each grain of flour contains the same magic power, the same dragon power, and the most critical five elements.
Unlike the world of immortal cultivation, the cultivation system in the Western fantasy world did not give rise to the theory of the mutual generation and mutual restraint of the five elements.
The element restraint theory here is mostly simple and crude, and it is difficult to accommodate multiple elements in one container.
Lu Wenwu used the power of the five elements and the power of the sea to incorporate all the conflicting elements in the flour into a small cycle, and the small cycle together with other flour formed a large cycle.
In this way, the originally rampant force suddenly became docile.
Although I haven't tasted it yet and don't know what it tastes like, at least the flour nowadays won't kill a mortal after taking a bite.
On the contrary, because it contains a large amount of magic power, dragon power, and elemental power, the physical fitness of those who consume it regularly will increase dramatically.
Such crops containing abundant energy have a special term in the world of immortal cultivation - spiritual food.
For example, spiritual rice, which is generally loved by low-level cultivators, is the most common spiritual food.
If the current Longwei wheat is judged by the standards of the world of immortal cultivation, there is no problem in calling it spiritual wheat or spiritual flour.
Marcus' eyes widened as he watched from the side.
What the hell is going on?!
How could these golden wheats turn into flour in such a short time?
And why does this flour look so strange in color? It looks like the colorful mushrooms in the forest.
"Why is this flour like this?" he couldn't help but ask, "Fifth Brother, this flour is colorful, just like Elder Green's poison. Is it really okay to eat it?"
"It's just the appearance of the element after being stimulated by magic. Let it sit for a while and wait for the element to subside and it will return to its normal flour-white color. Don't worry."
Lu Wenwu gathered the flour in the air and placed it in a container that had just been taken out.
The one he just made weighed about one ton.
Relative to the size of the dragons, this is not much.
It's definitely enough for testing.
Lu Wenwu looked at the sky which was gradually getting dark, and began to take out things continuously - such as the stuffed pancake stall which was made by the country but had been modified and enhanced many times by Lu Wenwu.
Not only is this thing equipped with a large number of intelligent devices and a lot of space expansion technologies, it is also strong enough to easily withstand a nuclear bomb attack without any damage.
If Lu Wenwu ever has a magic tower of his own, it will definitely look like an egg-filled pancake stall.
"Fifth brother, what is this metal box?" Marcus asked curiously, "It looks like something from the human world. It's so exquisite."
"The mobile kitchen I use to make a living in the human world can also be used as a temporary home."
As Lu Wenwu answered, he casually carried the more than one ton of Longwei flour into the car, took out some and placed them in different basins, and began to experiment with the best cooking method for this wheat.
Maomao had already started heating the stove proactively where Marcus couldn't see.
Just as Lu Wenwu had previously judged, the color on the Longwei wheat dissipated along with the silence of the elements and returned to its original white color.
But the elements and magic power themselves are still hidden within it, they just no longer flow on the surface.
This time, Lu Wenwu did not use his wand to cast life magic to assist in cooking. Instead, he personally kneaded and let the flour rise in pots and pots in different ways, and added different seasonings to test their compatibility.
In addition, each different combination is divided into several small portions, and time acceleration magic with different flow rates is used to intervene to determine the best proofing time.
It is true that Lu Wenwu is an expert in noodle making. Many times he only needs to use his spiritual sense to roughly determine the best solution.
But cooking is not like doing math.
Many times, only by actually trying it can you know which combination is truly delicious.
Marcus had long forgotten those beautiful dragon sisters.
Now he was leaning on the window of the stuffed pancake stall, stretching his head and watching Lu Wenwu's movements intently.
This cooking method, which was similar to boiling medicine, was the first time he had seen it.
In the past, the old dragons on Dragon Island would either cook directly with cooking magic, or simply grill the meat with a sprinkle of salt.
The simple and unpretentious little mountain dragon had never seen anything like this before, and he was actually fascinated by it.
"Cooking. Is it really that troublesome?"
When Marcus saw Lu Wenwu kneading the dough from all angles in a gentle manner similar to massage, and accurately kneading one shape after another, stacking them up layer by layer and continuing to knead them, he couldn't help but mutter.
Witness one dough after another being sent into the oven or onto the griddle.
The aroma of the mixture of oil and flour bursts out faintly, mixing with the "sizzling" sound, forming a beautiful melody.
"Cooking is like this. If you want to make something delicious, you have to put in the effort. In a sense, it's the same as brewing a magic potion."
Lu Wenwu was talking as he was doing it, with a smile that came from the heart on his face.
Making egg-filled pancakes makes him feel happy both physically and mentally.
"My culinary mentor once told me that in the culinary industry, the cooking process of a dish from start to finish may often take several hours, but the diners only have a few minutes to eat it."
“However, when diners feel pleasure and enjoyment from the dishes you cook in just a few minutes, the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction is unparalleled.”
"This is the chef." Lu Wenwu said.
"This smell is just wonderful."
Marcus greedily sniffed the aroma of bread that was continuously entering his nose.
The semi-finished cakes made with each combination will burst out with a unique and rich aroma, but when mixed together, it is simply a crime!
It is difficult for a top chef to make the food taste bad unless he is deliberately experimenting with some weird combinations.
"I never thought that food made from the extremely bad-tasting Longwei wheat in our hands could be so sweet!"
Marcus couldn't help but close his eyes, his expression looking as if he was high.
"It's so delicious! I can almost taste the delicious aroma of the grains! It's like a dream!"
Lu Wenwu laughed heartily upon hearing this. "Making something that would otherwise taste unpalatable into something delicious—isn't that the essence of cooking? This is what a chef should do! This is the very meaning of the art of cooking!"
"Why don't we just say that high-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking? Because they're already delicious enough, there's no need for chefs to use more cooking techniques to enhance them."
Having said this, Lu Wenwu was suddenly stunned.
Make something that doesn't taste good taste good.
Yes, this is the meaning of cooking!
When it comes to cooking egg-filled pancakes, you should find ways to turn bad ingredients into delicious egg-filled pancakes, instead of always trying to make something that is already delicious into something even more delicious!
The latter, I have already done it!
Suddenly, Lu Wenwu felt that his body was suddenly connected, and he seemed to hear a faint crisp breaking sound in his ears.
Something seemed to have broken inside my body.
That is the bottleneck of the [Physical] attribute!
