In the Blade

Not long ago, Shan Bing, who was new to cooking, was troubled by his skills.

In fact, strictly speaking, Shan Bing doesn't really know how to cook. After all, he is single, so he naturally has some cooking skills - but this skill is still a bit too rough, which is probably equivalent to cooking. Throw all the ingredients into the pot, cook it and then serve it.

If there is no pot, you can also throw it into the helmet and cook it. Shan Bing, who was a soldier, is very experienced in this.

Naturally, this method has no taste at all, especially when it is stewed in the helmet. A few pieces of hard dry food are added in, and after cooking, it is not much different from swill.

This is the basis of Shan Bing's cooking. It's not that he can't cook at all, he actually knows how to cook - although this method is not considered cooking, at least he can eat it himself, so all this time, He didn't think anything was wrong.

It wasn't until he started trying it himself and cooking seriously.

The consequences of this habit are only beginning to appear.

Although it was his first time to learn cooking, Shan Bing never felt that he was really industrious and indifferent to grains - he had some cooking experience at least, but at most he was not that proficient. Even if it was not good, he was always For someone who uses a knife to chop people, he can do the most basic things of cutting meat and vegetables, right?

But the fact gave him a loud slap in the face.

He really doesn't.

Take the stewed lion's head dish for example. When he cut the meat with wide open and wide strokes, he was very happy in the process, but judging from the result, the minced meat that had been violently chopped into pieces was... There was no way it could be made into meatballs - that is to say, the recipe he chose did not include water chestnuts, which is how to make water chestnuts, otherwise it would be a disaster.

However, the next stir-fried vegetables also showed his problem with cutting vegetables. It is obviously a dish that everyone knows how to cook, but he fried it only half-cooked.

The reason is, on the one hand, because cutting vegetables is completely different from cutting people, and on the other hand, it is because he didn't pay attention to the heat at all before.

"Try again, try again."

That time, Shan Bing struggled to eat the two things he made, which pigs might not eat.

So what went wrong?

Shan Bing was quite puzzled for a while.

Obviously, when he used his helmet to cook military rations in the past, he could eat it. Of course, he would not resist the hard dishes in the restaurant. Logically speaking, even if he was not successful in learning, just looking at the ingredients themselves, he should not be able to eat them. It’s so unpalatable that it’s so unpalatable—so what exactly is the problem? How could it taste so bad?

"Could it be that I'm starting to be picky? My taste is starting to change?"

With this in mind, Shan Bing simply found some pancakes, cut some meat casually, and threw it into the pot to cook without adding any salt.

When the mushy stuff in the pot boiled, Shan Bing took out a bowl and brought it to his mouth to taste.

"Is this... not bad?"

Shan Bing started scratching his head.

There seemed to be no change, and of course it was definitely not delicious, but he could still tolerate the taste, just like he did when he was still fighting in the south.

With this thought in mind, he tried his new dish again.

Then he almost threw up.

This isn't right, it doesn't look right no matter how you look at it. This taste comparison...what's the problem?

"Try again, try again..."

Thinking like this, Shan Bing once again devoted himself to cooking.

That was also the beginning of his seriousness. This time he tried hard to abandon his previous methods, no longer chop meat like chopping people, but tried to learn how to use kitchen knives like those cooks, and learned to control the heat - —Although as a beginner, his imitation was quite poor, but at least this time he really made a meatball.

"This... seems okay?"

After completely following the steps in the recipe and making the stewed lion's head, Shan Bing took a bite and his frown gradually relaxed.

That's indeed okay, at least it's much better than before. Compared with the disastrous dish just now, this dish is at least edible.

"So, where does this problem lie?"

Shan Bing was puzzled for a time. He didn't know how there could be such a big gap - but considering that his craftsmanship had improved after all, he didn't care about it and continued to try again.

And after he truly perfected his cooking skills, he finally realized what went wrong back then.

The reason is actually very simple.

He really knows how to cook.

It's just that what he was originally good at was battlefield cooking, which is popular in the military. The only advantage of this method is that it doesn't matter the place or the ingredients. As long as there is a container that can be heated and something that can be cooked, then you can eat anything - —However, when he first learned cooking, he actually wanted to use this already self-contained system of cooking methods to imitate Huaiyang cuisine.

These two methods are not the same thing, so how can the result be delicious?

"It turns out that the dish at that time combined the shortcomings of the two methods!"

At that moment, Shan Bing slapped his head.

He really realized something.

Just like cooking, some dishes are delicious, some are unpalatable. In the end, it depends on how to use the ingredients. Chefs with good skills know these ingredients very well. They know how to blend these flavors and make them play their own advantages.

"Just like now."

On Jiang Wenyuan's back, the seriously injured Shan Bing said softly.

"We are not facing a master of flower ropes at all. He is actually a good chef... Have you noticed that he really managed to perfectly blend the evil spirit and flesh and blood together."

"... Expression?"

Jiang Wenyuan was stunned. It was already a life-and-death moment and he was still chatting here. Isn't his life a life?

However, at this time, Shan Bing drew his sword.

"To be fair, I'm not a good cook, at least not better than Huang Tian. He cooks perfectly, really delicately, I may not be able to catch up with this level of craftsmanship in my lifetime... but."

"You still have a but?"

Jiang Wenyuan was ready to untie the straps. At this moment, he even felt that Shan Bing behind him should be beaten first compared to these fierce monsters in front of him.

Where did he learn this habit of chatting during the war? Doesn't this paralytic know how dangerous they are now?

"Danger? Where is the danger?"

The seriously injured Shan Bing laughed.

"Look up again."

"I..."

Dong——

It was the dull sound of flesh being hit, and the huge force was deafening.

"This..."

Jiang Wenyuan couldn't believe what he saw.

Just now, the monsters in front of him were swinging their weapons in his direction, but at this moment, those weapons hit their companions - right in front of him, those ferocious monsters just now seemed to be crazy, swinging their thick limbs and beating each other.

He and Shan Bing were clearly in front of them, but these monsters didn't even look at them. These monsters with bloodshot eyes tore and chopped each other, and the blood splashed, as if there was some deep hatred between them.

"This... is you?"

Jiang Wenyuan turned his head subconsciously.

"How did you do it?"

"It's not difficult, it's just a blind spot in thinking."

On Jiang Wenyuan's back, Shan Bing laughed.

"Indeed, according to the method of the flower rope, these monsters are indeed a knot that cannot be untied. They are too delicate and you can hardly find any flaws... Even from the perspective of cooking, they are all perfect dishes, and they have achieved the perfect combination of flesh and evil spirit."

But sometimes, perfection itself is another kind of imperfection.

It is precisely because it is too delicate and too perfect, so at this time, even adding a little more ingredients will be a great destruction to the dish itself-indeed, Shan Bing himself can't make such a good dish, his cooking skills are far from this level.

But it is easy for him to ruin this dish.

"It's evil spirit, I added evil spirit."

Seeing that Jiang Wenyuan was about to untie the rope and beat him, Shan Bing hurriedly got to the point.

"Just like sprinkling a handful of salt on a cooked dish, I only need to add a little more evil spirit to them...I don't even need to do any harm to them, just give them the evil spirit, and they will naturally become like this."

"This..."

Jiang Wenyuan was speechless for a long time.

This was completely different from what he had imagined. It was not a counterattack at all. This method of adding fuel to the enemy... was simply unheard of!

But he had to admit that this approach could indeed be called a reconstruction method.

And this reconstruction was very useful at the moment.

"We must add the evil spirit when they haven't killed anyone!"

Shan Bing continued to add.

"The evil spirit on them will automatically interweave with the flesh and blood, thus achieving a delicate balance, so we must not let them plunder new flesh and blood. We must destroy the balance on them and then let them plunder other monsters!"

"I understand."

Jiang Wenyuan nodded slightly while passing under the feet of the monsters that were fighting each other.

Although this idea was a bit difficult to say, he could still understand it. It was nothing more than the principle of adding more water to noodles and more noodles to water. Now, the evil spirit was water and the flesh and blood was noodles. What they had to do was to keep adding water and prevent these monsters from getting noodles.

"So that's it... So that's it!"

With the gradual understanding, Jiang Wenyuan's ideas became clearer and clearer.

"This is reconstruction... This is reconstruction! I understand! I understand everything!"

"Then move!"

Behind Jiang Wenyuan, Shan Bing finally couldn't help it. From his position, it was easier to hit Jiang Wenyuan.

"Why are you just shouting? Chatting during the battle, who did you learn this from?"

"I... OK."

Jiang Wenyuan finally shut up.

You're right. Thousands of words are not as good as a serious move.

"But I still want to say one thing."

As he said this, Jiang Wenyuan's figure jumped high.

"Your method is still a bit crude."

"... Hmm?"

Shan Bing frowned immediately.

"Why, do you have a better one..."

"Do it!"

It was at this time that Jiang Wenyuan suddenly shouted loudly.

Facing the monster rushing towards him, Shan Bing also instinctively released his evil spirit. Even though they were fighting verbally, they still had some basic tacit understanding when it came to taking action - just like now. In this way, Jiang Wenyuan knew who he should hit without having to specify the target.

But at this moment, Shan Bing suddenly discovered that Jiang Wenyuan also unleashed an evil spirit.

The two evil spirits came one behind the other, falling on the monster almost at the same time, and the delicate evil energy emitted by Shan Bing was also integrated into the monster's body - however, Jiang Wenyuan's evil energy also They came one after another immediately, blending into the evil spirit created by Shan Bing, even indistinguishable from each other.

But these two evil spirits were absorbed by the monster at the same time.

"You..."

Shan Bingdeng, who was already seriously injured, was sweating profusely.

Just because the eyes of the monster in front of him were blood red like never before.

"Water, too much water added."

Shan Binghan came out. This was an operation he had never thought of.

"If you fight like this, we won't even have time to run..."

"That's what we need to fight."

Facing the monster with blood-red eyes, Jiang Wenyuan's eyes lit up instead.

"No, this is the only way to fight...otherwise, how far do you think we can run with just our two legs?"

Saying this, Jiang Wenyuan suddenly reached out and grabbed it.

The monster with blood-red eyes in front of him immediately fell to his knees as if some invisible force had been exerted on him!

"Go! Get up!"

After steadying Shan Bing's figure behind him, Jiang Wenyuan jumped directly onto the monster's back!

"Walk!"

With a wave of his left hand, the monster actually picked up the two of them and began to move forward!

"……ah?"

On Jiang Wenyuan's back, Shan Bing was already dumbfounded.

"How did you do this? Just add water, how could you..."

"This is not cooking."

Facing Shan Bing's doubts, Jiang Wenyuan shook his head.

"This is not cooking. Although he looks like it, it is not, just like this kind of thing is not turning the rope..."

At this point, Jiang Wenyuan's voice paused.

"But if you can use the idea of ​​cooking to influence these monsters, then I can also use the method of turning the flower rope."

Yes, it is indeed possible. He may not be able to untie the knots one by one, but he can at least use his own power to hook the knots and manipulate the monster itself like a puppet on strings.

As he puts it, deconstruct and reconstruct, he really has it all figured out.

"Just like you."

Saying this, Jiang Wenyuan raised his head and looked at the throne high in the sky.

The update has been sent, and everyone should go to bed early.
