Douluo Continent on the tip of the tongue

Qi Han believed that if the colorful golden light and shadow shape said this unintentionally, it must be some kind of hint to him.

But the problem was that he was sure that he was focused enough on cooking that dish.

Otherwise, try again?

With a decision in his mind, Qi Han started cooking again. This time he only cooked peony fish fillets.

It takes me longer to master this dish, and I also have experience cooking it in real life, so I should have an advantage over Zilong Shijia.

Now it seems that the key to passing this level is not the difficulty of the dishes. In other words, you do not need to cook five stars to pass the level. It will be more convenient to just focus on one dish and not change it at will. It will be more convenient to compare the differences before and after.

Qi Han swore that his cooking this time was definitely the most focused he had ever done since learning to cook. He spent almost all his energy focusing on the cooking of the dishes. Every detail was done to perfection, including the peony fish fillets.

After the cooking was completed, his forehead was already covered with bead-sized beads of sweat, and bloodshot eyes appeared in the whites of his eyes due to excessive concentration.

However, when he brought this dish to Guangying, what he got in the end was still "Not satisfied, try again."

Qi Han was silent.

Doesn’t it count as careful?

Then continue!

He gritted his teeth and got busy again.

The third copy, the fourth copy...

Qi Han focuses on every piece of peony fish fillet to the extreme, and even uses his mental power to penetrate into the ingredients to feel every microscopic change in the ingredients, and controls the cooking of the ingredients to an unimaginable level.

He was not a spiritual soul master, and such a cooking process was too difficult for him. After cooking a piece of peony fish fillet, he already looked extremely pale and exhausted.

However, such concentration and hard work still cannot change the destiny again.

After tasting the last bite slowly, Guangying took a deep look at Qi Han and suddenly said: "Are you tired?"

Are you tired?

Of course I'm tired.

The training space can restore his physical strength, but the mental fatigue is unparalleled. Even though Qi Han has long been accustomed to boring exercises in the training space for a long time, such cooking still brings him great pressure.

At this moment, Qi Han's mind was on the verge of reaching its limit. If he was given a bed, he would fall asleep immediately and stay awake for three days and three nights.

He couldn't help but nod, and even felt a little resentful about the light and shadow in front of him.

Isn’t this really meant to torture people?

As if he could see what Qi Han was thinking, Guangying said with a hint of meaning, "Then do you think cooking should be such a tiring task?"

this…

Qi Han was slightly startled.

The words spoken by the light and shadow made him feel like he had caught something vaguely.

Is cooking... such a tiring thing?

That's right, with the way he was cooking just now, it was impossible for him to last long. Let alone cooking for diners during business hours, just making this dish was already on the verge of reaching his limit.

Could this be the future of cooking?

It becomes more and more difficult, requires more and more concentration, and the requirements for food ingredients become more and more demanding.

Is this still cooking?

No...that's not the case.

Qi Han shook his head violently.

There must be some deviation in his understanding of cooking to lead to such a result.

Have you taken the wrong path?

So...what exactly is intention?

Doesn’t intention mean concentration?

Qi Han's brows slowly wrinkled and he stood there thinking.

This time, Guangying didn't mention him again, but continued to pick up the book and read it with great interest.

Standing quietly in the training space, countless memory fragments flashed back in Qi Han's mind.

There is the experience of being a gourmet blogger in the past life, traveling around the world to explore delicious food, and there is also the process of being a chef in this life, starting from egg fried rice and reaching the height of today.

Qi Han's eyes slowly lit up.

In his previous life, he tasted all kinds of delicacies and met all kinds of famous chefs. What was the state of those famous chefs when they were cooking dishes?

None of them have ever considered cooking hard, or in other words, none of those chefs who think cooking is hard has ever reached the heights of a celebrity chef.

In the process of cooking, a real celebrity chef shows confidence and ease in every move he makes.

It's definitely not like what I am now, where I feel like I'm suffering when I cook.

Their cooking is joyful.

What about yourself?

At first, he never thought about becoming a chef. He became a chef just because he was bound to the food system and all tasks were related to cooking. Other than that, he had no other way to go.

At that time, he even had the illusion of becoming a soul master, hoping that he could become a powerful and respected soul master without relying on the system.

So...when did you start to identify yourself as a chef?

It was the satisfied smiles of each diner after tasting it, and their words of praise that gave me a sense of accomplishment and happiness that I had never had before.

Qi Han's eyes lit up completely.

He seems to know what being attentive means.

The highest state of playing music is to allow the audience to feel the emotions conveyed by the music while listening; the highest state of writing novels is to allow readers to resonate with the joys and sorrows of the characters in the book; the highest state of painting is to allow the audience to immerse themselves in it

Feel the charm of the painting in its environment...

All skills in this world will eventually go the same way and have the same purpose.

The heart is not the concentration of spirit, but the integration of emotions.

Music can use the speed of rhythm and the progression of melody to express changes in emotions, novels can use detailed descriptions and side effects to make people empathize, and paintings can use the shades of splashed ink and changes in color to express the painter's feelings. Then

What is the expression of emotion in cooking?

It’s how much of each seasoning is used, how quickly each food is put in, every stir-fry, every stir-fry, every cut, and every step of handling the ingredients.

It is the cooking errors every time that make the dishes unique.

Excessive focus has led Qi Han to embark on the path of excessive precision. The more precise he is, the more contrary to the direction of cooking.

Does it matter whether there is one thousandth more salt or one thousandth less salt?

Does it matter whether there are one or two drops more vinegar or one or two drops less?

Does it matter whether the ingredients are put in a second faster or a second slower?

These extremely small errors within a reasonable range are exactly the means by which cooks pour their emotions into the dishes.

And Qi Han almost abandoned it completely, turning from a living person into a machine that can only cook the same dishes with incomparable precision.

"Huh..." He exhaled heavily, and Qi Han suddenly had a smile on his face. The smile became stronger and stronger, and finally became extremely bright.

The light and shadow made a clear snap of the fingers, and the warm light slowly enveloped Qi Han's body. His tired mind was surrounded by an extremely warm feeling at this moment, and he recovered at an extremely fast speed. Regardless of his mental or physical strength, he was

At this moment it reaches its peak state.

"Go on, let me see if you really understand." There was suddenly a gentle feeling in Guangying's words.

"Yes!" Qi Han nodded heavily and walked quickly to the workbench.

He couldn't wait to try the idea he just had.

The cooking steps are still exactly the same as before, but Qi Han's expression is completely different.

He no longer had the same frown on his face, nor did he stare at the dishes as hard as before. Instead, he had the inadvertent curvature of the corners of his mouth, and the inadvertent humming of an unknown ditty.

He began to truly enjoy the cooking process and no longer cared about the amount of each seasoning.

Given that he has already completed perfect dishes, will the taste of some casually cooked dishes be degraded?

No.

Just like after conquering the highest mountain in the world, one no longer cares about the ups and downs of the earth. Qi Han's familiarity with every dish he has completed training has already penetrated deep into his bones, and he can do ordinary things at his fingertips.

Next, let your emotions play freely!

He was enjoying the unprecedented cooking process, and did not notice that his body was quietly flashing with golden light at this moment, and the traces of joyful thoughts seemed to turn into reality for others to easily perceive.

Soul power and spiritual power slowly merged at this moment, turning into a brand new and unique power. It has both the wonder of spiritual power and the tangible quality of soul power. Every rhythm of it has an immersive effect that makes people immersed in it.

of magic.

To others, this state is mind and god, but to Qi Han at this moment, it is Tao.

It is the path and direction of cooking.

As if falling into a dream, Qi Han fell into some kind of magical realm. There was not a single mistake in the cooking steps in his hands, but his whole person seemed to have entered a new realm at this moment. He was once obsessed with cooking.

All the insights are integrated at this moment and turned into emotional power and poured into the dishes.

It wasn't until the cooking of the peony fish fillets was finished that Qi Han slowly emerged from the mysterious realm.

He was stunned for a long time, and then brought the peony fish fillet in front of Guangying, "Senior, please taste it."

"You should taste this portion yourself." Guangying laughed and slowly disappeared, "After eating, start your third level!"

this…

Qi Han was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the peony fish fillet in his hand, and picked up a pair of chopsticks to taste it without hesitation.

To be honest, he was really reluctant to give light and shadow a taste.

Although he hasn't tasted it yet, he can imagine that the peony fish fillets cooked this time will be different.

After taking one bite, he slowly savored the crispy and delicious taste of the peony fish fillets, and a smile appeared on Qi Han's face unconsciously.

He felt that it was the emotion he poured into the dishes and the joy he had just realized.

Now when I taste this dish, the joy that slowly dissipated surges out again.

It worked, and I really felt the emotions from the dishes.

It turns out that my guess was right, this is what cooking should be like.

As he continued to taste the peony fish fillet, the joyful look on Qi Han's face slowly turned into a strange look.

He seemed to know why the light and shadow left without even tasting it in the end.

Is that to keep this dish for yourself?

Not really.

He didn't eat it because...the dish seemed to have some flavor.

It's like Wensi tofu has the taste of Dinghu Shangsu. You can't say it's not delicious, but it's very wrong.

In fact, the taste of the peony fish fillet was not much different from the original, but it gave Qi Han an inexplicable feeling that this dish should not be like this.

Although he successfully integrated emotions into cooking, the emotions he integrated seemed not quite right...

Peony fish fillet, what emotion should it be?

After recalling the eating environment of peony fish fillet, Qi Han quickly got the answer. The emotion of this dish should be nostalgia and longing.

But now, it has been made into joy by myself...

Qi Han, as expected of you.

With a dumb smile, he finished the remaining peony fish fillet in one gulp.

How to integrate emotions into dishes, he has barely mastered it now, and he still needs a lot of practice and research.

But before that, we have to leave Qiankun Wenqing Valley.

As the peony fish fillets were eaten, the surrounding training space quietly disappeared, and the surrounding scene was no longer the endless square as before.

It was a large prairie, with green blue silver grass rippling in waves under the breeze, and the soft grass blades floating, as if extending endlessly into the distance.

The endless green grass, fresh air, bright sunshine, and the occasional birds passing by in the sky all make Qi Han feel comfortable, as if at this moment, all the depression deep in his heart has completely dissipated with his breathing.

.

Where is this? What is my third level?

Qi Han frowned and thought.

"What is single-mindedness?" A plain voice sounded in the air, and the sound seemed to come from all directions, and it sounded like waves pressing down from high in the sky.

What is single-mindedness? Qi Han raised his head and looked around, then cast his gaze to the sky. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Speciality means having only one person in your heart. For the rest of your life, you can only feel the joy and worry of one person, and regard the other person as your most important thing."

People who are special give each other everything they have."

"Then do you think you can be considered single-minded?" The rumbling voice became a little serious.

Qi Han opened his mouth, and finally sighed, "It probably doesn't count."

"Love can be emotional or rational, but it cannot be uncertain. Do you understand?"

"I understand what you mean..." Qi Han smiled bitterly, "But those memories are all things that happened in the past, and they will be touched inadvertently. How can I completely forget and never think about it again? Especially when Yu Lianxin and her have grown up together.

They look so similar, every time I see Yu Lianxin, those memories slowly come to my mind, making me afraid to face her."

"Your reward is to forget." In the calm voice, the wind was strong, and countless grass blades were flying, gently brushing against Qi Han's cheeks, "The third level: pass the sincere adventure, you will not lose any memory, but you

I will forget the feelings of the past life, and all the memories of the past will no longer cause any waves in your heart. I hope you will be dedicated as you said."

"Qiankun Qingqing Valley, the three levels of Qingqing are over, because the person you like is not here, the difficulty of Truth or Dare is lower, and you will no longer get any rewards except forgetting. I hope you like this reward, go for it.

"

There was a flash of golden light, and Qi Han's figure completely disappeared from the spot and appeared outside Qiankun Wenqing Valley.

"Qi Han, how are you?!" Ruyi's anxious voice came almost instantly, "A god took action just now, and my perception completely disappeared. What happened?"

"No..." Qi Han was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face.

"I'm in luck."
