Chapter 107: One Hundred Six: Tough and Tough

(Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass!)

...

The snow mountain is Li Suian's retreat site.

It's quiet, spacious, and free.

There are no other concerns, and no shady tricks behind the scenes.

Since the last ice cave fishing, Li Suian has liked the feeling of practicing in the snow-capped mountains.

In fact, he is not particularly obsessed with fishing, and he cannot be regarded as a senior and crazy fisherman.

But fishing was indeed a sport he liked very much in his previous life.

Every time I have been busy with work for a long time and encounter a rare vacation, I will drive to the suburbs alone to find a beautiful waterside. Quietly alone, a stay is the whole day.

When the fish is hooked on the hook, after a struggle, the moment when it is pulled ashore, it is indeed very fulfilling.

What's more, he still has the [Fishing] skill in this life, even if he wants to improve the skill proficiency, he has to pick up the fishing skill again.

That night, Lao He lived up to expectations.

Successfully caught a dragon carp weighing hundreds of catties.

"Brother, you are lucky. I rarely cook, so today I will let you try twelve ways to eat fish."

Old He smiled and said, "Hehe, I'll wait and see."

"Just trouble brother to light the fire."

The stove has been set up, just waiting for the chef to take his place.

Li Suian immediately made a Chinese-style whole fish feast with this fish.

An ancestral kitchen knife flies up and down, scales, skins, viscera, meat slices, and bones are all done in one go.

Hundreds of catties of high-grade monster fish do not have any physical strength, so it would take a lot of effort for an ordinary person to do it.

Li Suian does it more simply and efficiently than others.

[Mind Power Control] It can't help you much in battle, but it's like a fish in water in life.

All kinds of delicate tasks are difficult to do by hand, but the power of thought can be delicate and easy to control.

The first course is fish head.

The teeth are removed, marinated to taste, and served with various condiments to make a fish head casserole.

Immediately scrape the fish meat, chop the minced fish, forcefully complete the shape with the power of mind in the air, and fry the golden fish minced cake.

Because I considered that I might stay for a long time this trip, even though I have the supernatural ability of [Empty Escape · No Distance], Li Suian can't run home every time, so he will naturally have various preparations. The guy who eats, of course, must bring enough and complete.

It is also very simple to prepare for this matter. It is enough to find He Dadang in the front building and ask for a few kitchen supplies.

The third and fourth dishes are made of glutinous rice and fish meat to make a ball of pearl fish paste. Then use pure fish balls to make a bowl of sea vegetable fish ball soup.

The whole body of dragon carp is full of treasures, and its skin is also a dish.

Together with some local raw melons, make a cold fish skin salad.

Fish scales can’t be wasted either. After deep-fried, chives, salt, sugar, chili noodles, and snow jade bamboo cream are used to make fish scale chips.

The fish tail and two kinds of peppers are made into a mandarin duck paddling together.

Fish belly with ginger and scallions, boiled fish fillets, sour fish offal, salt and pepper fish bones, and spicy fish dices.

Such twelve dishes are full.

[Cooking skills +150. 】

The wine glasses were filled, the table was set and a tablecloth was spread.

Looking at the dazzling array of whole fish feasts, such an exquisite way of eating in the wild, really made Lao He grin.

He used to fish, and he just had to eat a bite when he was hungry, but he had never been so particular about food.

The same fish, in the hands of Li Suian, is made into delicacies in different ways.

Compared with the ones I have eaten before, how is it different from pig food?

Just for this one dinner, he has identified Li Suian as his little brother.

Youzai Youzai, more than a month has passed in a blink of an eye.

The life of more than a month has been really comfortable and fulfilling.

[Fishing] skill has been upgraded to LV5 (9800/10000).

"As your fishing experience increases, the probability of obtaining high-quality fish will increase. At the current level, every time you catch a fish, you can steal 9% of its vitality."

Fishing skills have also become Li Suian's highest-level skills among all life skills.

In the waters of Gein, there are really countless treasures.

The fish here are not alert at all, as long as the bait is thrown into their mouths, they will bite it down.

More greedy than a foodie deer.

Of course, Li Suian's fishing journey has not been smooth sailing.

There is still a big difference between monster fish and spirit beast fish.

At least it is much more difficult to catch than silly pigfish.

I still remember the second day of official fishing——

Li Suian chose a good position, and soon there were big fish biting the hook one after another.

But when he wanted to pull it ashore, it was unhooked without any accident.

"Why?" He was a little puzzled.

"Brother, something is wrong."

Old He Hao walked over and said: "Your talent in martial arts must be much better than mine, and you will definitely have more prospects than me in the future. My old He is at best in a small state of ecstasy in this life, and it is impossible to hold the pill until I die. Success. But it doesn't mean that my life is wasted."

"What do you think of fishing? Simply throw the hook down, the fish will bite, and then pull it up?"

Li Suian wondered, "Isn't that so?"

He'd gone further than this before, using a boning knife as a hook and throwing the knife out through the pigfish's body and pulling it up again.

This is how the level of fishing LV3 is obtained.

Every pig fish is given a lot of experience.

Lao He said: "Don't think about fishing monster fish too simply, you are fishing for ordinary fish. Most of the people living in this snow-capped Tianchi lake are monsters. If you want to catch monster fish, You must have the idea of ​​fighting monsters before you can catch them."

Li Suian asked: "How to do it?"

"I can't go into the water, let's fight with it."

Lao He laughed, with a bit of pride on his face. This is probably one of the few things in his life that he can be proud of.

He looked at Li Suian with a bright face, and said loudly proudly: "I haven't achieved much in my life, but I think it's worthwhile to figure out this set of 'fishing with countless threads'. Pass it on to you."

"Then thank you, brother."

Li Suian smiled and didn't pay much attention.

I think this is just a set of methods to use Qi Jin.

This is indeed the case, and there is still a high barrier to entry.

If you are not in the state of ecstasy, you cannot practice, because it involves mental power manipulation.

The inexhaustible fishing method pays attention to the precise control of one's own energy, turning the energy into silk, condensing the silk thread to make a net, and condensing multiple strands of energy on one piece, just like a steel wire rope, making this energy both flexible and flexible. And very tough.

Let the thread of vigor extend along the fishing line, then the fishing line, fishing rod, and hook can all be turned into your own weapons.

According to Lao He's vision, if he can condense more than ten strands of energy and more than one, and can weave them into a net, he will be regarded as an introduction to training.

If you can condense more than ten strands of energy and more than one strand, and weave the strands into a net, it is a small achievement.

If you can condense ten strands of vigor and one thread, control it in a subtle way, and weave it into a net, it will be a great achievement.

If one day, one can condense and compress a thousand, ten thousand or even one hundred thousand or hundreds of millions of strands of vigor and one thread, and can control it freely...

No matter how sharp the magic weapon is, it can't cut a fishing line.

However, to this day, even the founder of this technique, Lao He himself, can only condense and compress a hundred strands of energy and one thread.

Li Suian groped his chin and thought: "It is indeed very demanding, and this kind of fine-grained control technique is very helpful for the spiritual cultivation of Qi Jin."

He came interested.

Try it now.

He tried to follow the method taught by Lao He, extracted a trace of energy, and wanted to control it finely... The silk thread broke all of a sudden.

It seems that it is not so easy to complete.

After a lot of effort, I finally succeeded in extracting a strand of energy.

After that, it is not so easy to condense more strands of energy into one.

Li Suian once again thought of the steel wire rope. The steel wire rope is first twisted into strands by multi-layer steel wires, and then a certain number of strands are twisted into a helical rope with the rope core as the center.

First there is a rope core.

After finding the right direction, Li Suian's operation became much smoother.

After trying for a while, he finally controlled this thread of vigor to move freely through the air and weave it into a net with not weak mental strength.

The moment when the net is woven.

Suddenly, many unusual insights came to my heart.

He couldn't be more familiar with this sudden feeling of realization, and immediately opened the virtual panel.

I thought it was just a set of very common energy control skills.

But on the martial arts panel, it clearly shows that he has learned a new martial skill, "Fishing with Ten Thousand Threads".

Only then did he suddenly realize.

This set of techniques has a complete basic training method, as well as advanced ideas with broad prospects and far-sightedness.

Since you can fight underwater monsters with a fishing rod, why can't you use a fishing rod to fight humans?

Isn't this a martial skill?

[Fishing methods with countless threads: LV1 beginners practice first (100/10000), can increase the essence of energy and spiritual exercise by 10%, and increase the control of energy by 10%. 】

Good martial arts.

...how should I put it.

You need to enter the spiritual state to learn, but after learning, you just strengthen the control of Qi Jin.

Generally, under normal circumstances, since a martial artist is already in the state of ecstasy, his dantian energy is naturally free and spiritual, and he even turns acquired into innate. Combat often relies on majestic innate energy to end the battle. He even used energy to communicate with the source energy of the heavens and the earth, forming Gang Qi to fight.

It is estimated that this kind of martial skill that is more real in its subtleties will not be favored by too many people.

But Li Suian is just a different kind.

But he also likes fishing, so he naturally likes this martial skill very much.

But he was wrong.

"Inexhaustible Fishing Method" is more important than imagined.

Not to mention the help to martial arts.

As long as Li Suian wants to catch monster fish and enjoy the skill special effect bonus brought by the [Fishing] skill, he must practice the level of "Fishing with Ten Thousand Threads".

So in the next few days, Li Suian was able to compete with this martial art completely.

But don't think he's burying his head in penance.

The days of Li Suian's "retreat" in the snow-capped mountains were more fulfilling than expected.

Every evening, I went back to Heishiji directly to buy the monster bones and monster blood that had been accumulated for a day.

Throw it into the spring and turn it into soil.

By the way, care about the farmland and Lingmi, and be a farmer.

After nightfall, he simply returned to his home in Liufeng Street and soaked his feet happily.

Chat with Uncle Fu, check Xiaolu's homework, and introduce Xiao Xiaoci to everyone.

Encourage Xiao Xiaoci to get out of the past and integrate into a new life. Even if you show up, you can only put on makeup. She had been wearing a veil all year round, appearing as a Baozi Xishi. It is the real face now, and it is still somewhat different from Baozi Xishi. If she goes out so openly, others may not be able to discover the clues.

If you put on makeup, you can add another layer of insurance.

Late at night, Li Suian went back to the hut by the lake and meditated in the dark to practice the gods.

During the day, he exercises and exercises while basking in the sun.

Occasionally, he also walked around, entering the glacier to practice spells.

At the same time pondering fishing and martial arts.

It wasn't until three days later that he successfully condensed ten strands of vigor and one thread, and "Fishing with Thousands of Threads" successfully upgraded to LV2.

[Fishing method with thousands of threads: LV2 half-baked (100/10000), can increase the energy essence and spiritual exercise by 30%, and increase energy control by 30%. 】

Over time, the efficiency has greatly increased.

And finally you can catch monster fish.

On the day the skills were upgraded, Li Suian successfully caught a three-tailed red carp.

Even though this is just a ninth-rank monster fish, the experience gained is only 15 points, which is completely incomparable with pigfish.

He was still so excited that he almost jumped up.

Under the control of Qi Jin, the fishing line turned into a swimming dragon in the water, dexterously entangled and fought with the three-tailed red carp.

Even with the use of knife skills, he finally managed to catch it.

During this process, he not only practiced his [Fishing] skills, but also practiced the "Fishing with Inexhaustible Threads" and knife skills. The process was really not easy.

It is also true that the moment of harvest is full of sense of accomplishment.

In contrast, fishing for pigfish is really inexperienced.

Moreover, when he successfully caught the first monster fish, the sudden surge of energy and blood really almost made him unable to live in Bengbu.

Sure enough, I still have to catch monster fish.

Although the pigfish is a spirit beast, its size is only so small, so how much energy and blood can it have.

With practical experience, he has advanced by leaps and bounds all the way since then, and the inexhaustible fishing method has successfully condensed two strands, three strands, four strands... until ten strands.

The inexhaustible fishing method has also been upgraded again.

[Fishing method with thousands of threads: LV3 has a small success (100/10000), which can increase the energy essence and spiritual exercise by 50%, and increase the energy control by 50%. 】

He started to catch the eighth grade monster fish.

As more and more monster fish were caught, the energy and blood in Li Suian's body began to gather more and more, and the energy and blood were like wolf smoke, and his body became stronger and stronger.

The energy and blood are too abundant, and the vitality is exuberant, even with the "Dragon Elephant Qi Shield", it has made great progress.

There is also an interlude.

That means the blood bud rice in Lingtian has matured.

The plants of blood bud rice are like corn when they grow up.

Each blood bud rice plant can grow to a height of seven or eight meters, just like a small tree.

There are at least seventy or eighty grains of rice hanging on each plant.

After ripening, each grain of blood bud rice is three inches and three centimeters long, shaped like a spinning shuttle, and crystal clear, like the best red jadeite.

Compared with the blood bud rice I got from Cheng Lin last time, it was bright red in color.

Li Suian picked more than 8,000 grains of rice from hundreds of blood bud rice plants.

After being picked, the blood bud rice plants will soon rot and will not regenerate.

Li Suian shoveled all of them, threw them into the spring water, and turned them into fertilizer to nourish the spiritual fields.

Then, with the accumulation of this period of time, the seven acres of spiritual land were expanded again, and all of them were planted with blood bud rice.

When planting for the first time, I didn't have much experience.

Who would have thought it would grow so big when it matured?

It is still a bit crowded, and many branches are squeezed together, which invisibly leads to a decrease in output.

One mu of land is about 660 square meters, and the roots of blood bud rice plants need enough space to grow. Generally, blood bud rice can be planted at a distance of 3 to 3 square meters, and 70 to 75 blood bud rice can be planted in one mu of land .

If blood bud rice is planted at intervals of 3 to 4 square meters, 50 to 55 plants can be planted per mu, and 80 to 85 plants can be planted at intervals of 2 to 4 square meters.

This time, only fifty plants were planted per mu.

In addition to the two mu of bamboo forest, the remaining seven mu of land plus the one mu of land that was re-cleared and sorted out by old trees, is eight mu of land with four hundred trees.

This is not a small challenge, which means that it takes more experience to take care of the plants and artificial pollination during the flowering period. But once harvested, it will be an extremely exciting result.

It is not far from eating blood bud rice for three meals a day.

The night of harvest.

Li Suian took time to return home and treated Uncle Fu to a bowl of blood bud rice.

After he finished eating, his complexion improved significantly.

"Master, this rice is too precious, you'd better keep it for yourself to practice. It's too wasteful to give it to me."

Li Suian said with a smile: "I still have it. If all goes well, there may be more blood bud rice in the future, and you won't be afraid to eat it every day. Uncle Fu, you don't have to worry about me."

"I see. Master, there is something I want to discuss with you?"

Li Suian asked strangely, "What's the matter?"

Fu Qingnian said: "Master, I'm getting old, and I don't think I'll have a good life for a few years. Mrs. Xiao is quick-witted and knowledgeable. Although she was born poor, she is able to make progress. Since the young master brought her into the family, I think So, can you let her enter the restaurant and learn how to be an accountant from the old man?"

Shaw?

Li Suian realized that he was referring to the widow Xiao.

"This matter... is she willing to learn?"

"The old man talked to her. She is willing to learn and wants to find something to do, but she is worried that people will still be recognized after putting on makeup."

Li Suian thought for a while and said: "This matter is not urgent for the time being. After a while, we will go to Beidu to open a branch. In Kunpeng City, don't let her come forward for the time being. Uncle Fu, you can teach her in private how to control it A restaurant."

"what……"

Fu Qingnian opened his mouth wide.

Li Suian didn't explain much.

Leave some blood bud rice for Narcissus to cook daily for Uncle Fu to eat.

Now there is not enough blood bud rice, and we can't afford to eat it for everyone. Even though the little deer was drooling greedily, he didn't let her have a bite.

...

time flies.

Before they knew it, Li Suian and Lao He had been staying by the edge of the Snow Mountain Tianchi for more than a month.

Lao He, who originally only wanted to fish for ten and a half months, had no intention of leaving this time.

Until Li Suian proposed to leave, he was still unsatisfied.

Li Suian packed up the things in the cabin, bid farewell to Lao He, opened a void portal that night, and returned home in one step.

Many monster fishes caught were also sent to the back kitchen of Ruyifang.

He came back this time because the first batch of Drunken Spring Breeze Tribute Wine in the brewery was about to enter the fermentation stage.

This checkpoint is the most important, and I can no longer be idle like before.

He must follow up the whole process to ensure that every link is in place and foolproof.

The fermentation of Drunken Spring Breeze adopts the unique fermentation method of "running cellar cycle", "continuous continuous fermentation" and "rapid aging of artificial cellar mud" by Lao Li's family.

The process is more complicated.

However, although the processing is complicated, we must not dare to save labor, and although the taste is expensive, we must not dare to reduce material resources.

In a different world without technology and hard work, winemakers can only have good wine on people's tables by passing it down from generation to generation.

...

On this day, Lord Zhen Fushi suddenly summoned him.

"How long will it take for the first batch of Drunken Spring Breeze to be brewed?"

"My lord, the brewing cycle of Drunken Spring Breeze takes at least half a year to ensure the quality."

This cycle is very long.

However, if the fermentation period is too long, although the quality of the wine is very good, the cost of wine making will also increase.

Moreover, even freshly baked liquor, because it contains low-boiling impurities such as aldehydes and sulfides, will inevitably have the disadvantages of violent, nose-pungent, and irritating.

It needs to be stored for at least half a year before the finished product can be prepared for filling.

Through aging storage, physical and chemical reactions such as oxidation-reduction and lipidation of the wine itself effectively eliminate the low-boiling impurities of the wine, condense acetaldehyde, reduce the spicy taste, become soft and soft, and increase the aroma.

With the extension of aging time, the natural fusion of water molecules and wine molecules is also enhanced.

This is what people say "wine is the fragrance of old".

The longer the aging time, the better, but few people know why?

In addition to those reasons mentioned above, part of the reason lies in the brewing process.

"Can you shorten the time?" Yuan Chunfang asked.

Li Suian was stunned.

"My lord, Drunken Spring Breeze is a sauce-flavored liquor. The brewing process is inherently complicated. During the brewing process, at least nine times of cooking, eight times of fermentation, seven times of wine extraction, and two times of feeding are required. The brewing cycle is compressed to half a year, which is actually very fast. gone."

If you want to brew such fine wine in your previous life, the time is in years.

In this world, the source energy of heaven and earth is rich, the law of fermentation has been changed, and the brewing time has actually been shortened a lot.

Yuan Chunfang frowned, waved his hands and said: "Forget it, you continue to brew according to the recipe. But you need to take out your family's inventory and pay a part of it first."

Li Suian thought for a while and asked, "My lord, how much is the tribute needed this time?"

"At least 5,000 barrels, is that enough?"

"My lord, those are all old wine..."

Yuan Chunfang waved his hand and said, "This is a government purchase, so you won't suffer."

Li Suian had nothing to say, "Since that's the case, prepare immediately after returning."

"Well. Get ready as soon as possible."

In such a hurry, Li Suian can only use the puree.
