The God of Cookery continued to talk incessantly, telling Yu Wuwei all about the difficulties he was currently facing.
It turned out that since the separation between immortals and mortals, the path to ascension has been cut off, and the population of heaven has been extremely short.
In order to solve the problem of population shortage in Heaven, the Jade Emperor specially ordered the modification of the Heavenly Law so that the gods could marry each other and have children to supplement the population of Heaven.
When an imperial decree came down, many gods who were originally in love but were blocked by the heavenly rules began to get married and create gods.
The years of infatuation between Lei Gong and Dian Mu finally came to fruition, and Niulang finally returned to the Weaver Girl he had been longing for. Even Lu Dongbin and He Xiangu had a teacher-student love affair.
A fairy love story led to a surge in the population of heaven in a short period of time, and the population continued to increase.
When there are too many people, problems arise.
Look, the annual Queen Mother’s birthday is coming again, and this time it happens to be the day when the peaches are ripe.
Therefore, this time the Queen Mother specially held the Peach Festival in Yaochi and invited all the gods and their families to attend.
According to preliminary statistics, thousands of people from all walks of life gathered together with their families at this conference, which made the God of Food very troubled!
At the Peach Feast, peaches are definitely the star of the show, but we can’t just leave peaches on the table, right? After all, we’re not monkeys who can eat only peaches!
And even monkeys are very picky now. He will never forget the picky eating habits of monkeys at the last Peach Banquet.
Therefore, what to prepare for food became a big problem facing the God of Cookery!
What the gods in heaven don't know is that since the separation of immortals and mortals, the speed of time flow in heaven and the mortal world has changed. In the past, one day in heaven was equal to one year on earth, but after the separation of immortals and mortals, the time in heaven and the mortal world has gradually become synchronized.
In the past, tens of thousands of years on earth were actually just a few hundred years in heaven, and one year in heaven was just over three hundred years on earth.
Therefore, in the past, whenever the God of Cookery felt that there was nothing new to cook, he would secretly ask his clairaudients to take him to the mortal world to observe and find out what new dishes and ways of eating had appeared in the mortal world over the past few hundred years, and then improve them and incorporate them into his own recipes in heaven.
Therefore, in the past, the God of Cookery never had to worry about coming up with new ideas, and all the gods enjoyed eating to their heart's content.
However, with the separation between immortals and mortals, the God of Cookery could no longer patrol the mortal world, and he lost his source of inspiration. He could only rely on his own imagination to come up with a few new dishes.
However, there is only one God of Cookery in Heaven, and he alone cannot come up with many new dishes.
So, for nearly a hundred years, everyone has been eating the same dishes.
No matter how delicious this dish is, you will vomit if you eat it for a hundred years!
As a result, the gods were quite unhappy with the previous Peach Banquets, and the entire banquet seemed lifeless.
The Queen Mother is also a person who cares about face, and she would lose face if she had such a banquet.
So this time, the Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor jointly ordered the God of Food that the dishes for this Peach Banquet must be innovative and cannot be like the past where the same few dishes were served over and over again, otherwise severe punishment will be imposed!
Therefore, the God of Cookery could only work hard every day to come up with new dishes.
Now, there are only two days left before the Peach Festival, but the newly devised dishes are far from meeting the Queen Mother's requirements.
The God of Cookery was so exhausted from thinking that he couldn't think of a solution, so he came out to get some fresh air, and ended up here unknowingly.
"I've been racking my brains over this matter, please teach me!" After saying this, the God of Food gave Yu Wuwei a long bow, looking like he was asking for help.
Yu Wuwei was speechless for a moment. "Uncle, your head isn't about to burst, it's already broken! And the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother's Peach Banquet, are you crazy about becoming a god?"
You are so crazy, why don’t you go to heaven!
Why!
However, seeing how deeply immersed this uncle was in the role, Yu Wuwei couldn't bear to reveal the cruel truth to him.
"Ahem!" Yu Wuwei coughed lightly and said, "This hot pot is actually very simple. Just add hot pot base to water and boil it, then put whatever you want in it. After it boils, you can dip it in whatever flavor you want. This hot pot base and seasoning are sold in every supermarket!"
Upon hearing this, the God of Food was even more puzzled: "My Lord, what are these hot pot base and seasonings? Isn't seasoning just about adjusting the taste with magic? What other ingredients are there? What's the point of a supermarket? They actually sell such magical things! I've never heard of these things in heaven!"
Yu Wuwei almost collapsed when he heard this. You, you, you are getting too into the role!
However, since things have come to this, Yu Wuwei can only fight to the end!
"Seasonings are all kinds of seasonings used to adjust flavors, like MSG, chicken essence, Wang Shouyi Thirteen Spices, and so on! Supermarkets are supermarkets that specialize in selling all kinds of daily necessities!"
Yu Wuwei felt that he had never been so patient before, and was almost moved to tears by his own thoughtful gesture!
However, facing Yu Wuwei's explanation, the "God of Food" was still confused: "I have seen chicken essence, but how do you season it? What kind of essence is MSG? And who is Wang Shouyi, and what are his thirteen spices? The Heavenly Court never buys or sells anything, so what's the point of having a market?"
Yu Wuwei: “…”
Finally, facing the god-like immersion of this uncle, Yu Wuwei finally broke down a little: "Uncle! This lunatic needs treatment. The Ninth Hospital needs you!"
However, the uncle who was the God of Cookery still looked puzzled: "My Lord, what is this disease called snake-spirit disease? Is it a disease that snake spirits get? But what does this have to do with me, the God?"
Damn, why am I talking to a psychopath about this?
"Go away, pay the bill and leave. You and I have nothing in common!"
The God of Food knew what "pay the bill" meant. He understood clearly that this immortal wanted to drive him away!
This won’t do. I haven’t even learned how to make hot pot yet, so what should I do about the Peach Banquet?
The God of Food became anxious and quickly stepped forward to grab Yu Wuwei's hand again, saying, "My Lord, you can't do this! Please save me! Otherwise, I will definitely be punished by the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother!"
Yu Wuwei looked up at the sky again. It seemed that there was no way to get rid of him today unless he made him understand clearly.
Yu Wuwei broke free from the God of Cookery's hand, walked to the kitchen, and took out a series of seasonings. He explained them one by one: "See? This is called MSG. Try it, it's delicious! This is chicken essence, not the weird kind you think..."
