Super System in Chutang

After dinner, Li Xingzhi asked his servants to carry a large water tank less than half a foot high and nearly half a foot in diameter from the kitchen and placed it in the center of his small courtyard.

Then he poured the fine sand that had been washed by the servants into it, placed a few large and small stones, and planted a small leaf lotus.

Finally, Li Xingzhi filled it with space water and put in two fire carps.

Watching the two fire carps go from being panicked at first to swimming calmly and freely, Li Xingzhi could imagine that in the summer, there would be fields of lotus leaves in the tank, two big red carps playing under the lotus leaves, and ripples on the water.

What a beautiful sight!

As soon as Li Xingzhi put the big vat and the fire carp into the yard, a different style suddenly appeared. The originally lonely and desolate yard suddenly became lively.

If anyone who knows Feng Shui has seen it, they will know that the place where the big vat is placed is the spiritual eye that suppresses this small yard. At a glance, the small vat uses lotus as wood, red carp as gold, and the big vat as fire.

Made of earth, coupled with a bay of spiritual spring water in the big vat, it is the perfect combination of the five elements! It can gather spirit and vitality!

Li Xingzhi looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, and returned to the room. He only saw him for a moment before disappearing from the room.

When he arrived in the space, he saw a prosperous scene. Even the small snow lotus trees that he had no hope for were growing up, which made Li Xingzhi quite excited. The peach core buried by the spring had sprouted.

Small seedlings have grown.

The few flower seedlings he bought from the market actually grew a lot, which surprised Li Xingzhi. Even if there was a time difference, it would not be so fast. He could only attribute the reason to the magic of this space.

Li Xingzhi poured some water on the flowers, plants and trees, and without looking at the little golden snake swimming happily in the spring, he sat cross-legged on the big bluestone he had brought in beside the spring, and began to fall into meditation.

When he woke up from trance again, he felt that his inner energy had become much purer. He found that the effect of practicing in this cave would be much better, and most importantly, he would not be disturbed by anyone. No wonder he was successful in the Five Essentials of Cultivation.

, "Earth" ranks alone among them!

Li Xingzhi felt that as he stayed in this space longer and longer, his fit with this space became higher and higher, and it became more and more helpful to his cultivation. Especially when he entered concentration, this feeling

It's become obvious, even if it's far from the perfect fit that it was when I entered the space and entered concentration for the first time.

He practiced another set of "radio gymnastics" to stretch his muscles and bones and activate his energy and blood. Thinking that it was still early, he washed his face with spring water and began to take care of the flowers and trees in the space.

He also wants to plant some bamboo in the space. Firstly, he has a preference for bamboo, and secondly, bamboo can be used to make many things. He is also planning to put a fence around the space where herbs are grown, but he thinks the space is still too small now.

, I can’t plant much, so I’m not in a hurry.

Li Xingzhi returned to the room. It was midnight, the moon was gone, and there was a faint light in the sky. He tidied his clothes and prepared to go to the kitchen to make something to eat.

By this time, the kitchen was already bright and warm, with flames beating under the stove, a large pot on top, steam rising from the boiling water, and servants carrying pots of various sizes coming in and out.

As soon as he walked into the kitchen, the little fat man also walked in, tidied his clothes, and then went out to the chopping board next to him, took the dough that had already risen, kneaded it, and prepared to make steamed cakes.

At this time, Li Xingzhi walked over from behind and patted the little fat man on the shoulder.

The fat man turned around and said, "Why did Dalang get up so early?"

"I originally wanted to make some steamed cakes, but I didn't expect that a chef like you would show up." Li Xingzhi said with a smile. He still admired the fat man's dedication. With his own lazy temperament, if he didn't have the help of the system, how could he be in this industry?

It’s good to get in...

When the fat man saw Li Xingzhi coming, he heard a lot about how amazing Li Xingzhi's cooking skills were at the Li Mansion and wanted to see it, so he stepped aside.

But I heard Li Xingzhi say: "Let's do it together!"

The little fat man became happy because Li Xingzhi wanted to teach him how to cook.

How did he know that Li Xingzhi was only going to make a few for himself to eat, but as for the rest - how could he not use free labor?

Li Xingzhi kneaded the dough that had risen vigorously, shaking it up and down constantly, and then hit it on the chopping board to make a rhythmic "pop" sound, and from time to time he stretched and shook it.

However, the surrounding servants did not come to watch the fun, they had long been accustomed to it. As for the little fat man, his little eyes were widened for fear of missing a detail.

Li Xingzhi beat it vigorously and continuously for nearly half a quarter of an hour before all the stagnation in the dough was broken up.

Originally, in later generations, it would not be so troublesome to buy some special fine flour, but the taste would definitely not be as good as what he is making now.

He looked at the surprised little fat man next to him and shouted: "Watch it." As he said that, he took a small ball of dough, patted it into a flat arc, covered his mouth, and blew hard, and the dough puffed up.

When he got up, the small ball was blown by Li Xingzhi until it was as big as a person's head, leaving only a translucent and very thin layer, which was not broken.

"The kneaded dough must reach this point to be considered a pass!" He looked at the little fat man next to him who was so shocked that his eyes almost fell off.

As for how to do it, there are some tips. Li Xingzhi didn't say it. He hoped that Fatty would study it himself, which would be better for his development. But Fatty was sensible and didn't ask. He just said that it was a unique secret skill that could not be passed on to others.

Seeing that he had done it was already a great favor, and it also gave him a direction to think about.

Now that the dough is kneaded, Li Xingzhi pinches off a small ball, places it on the chopping board, and gradually presses out a small piece of dough that is thicker in the middle and very thin on the edge.

The meat stuffing he had prepared yesterday was wrapped in the flat dough.

There is not only pork in the stuffing, but also jelly skin, so that the steamed buns will have a thick and rich soup. If there is any secret to making this steamed bun, one of them is in the meat stuffing.

Already.

As for the other skills, they are all in the dough. After all, no matter how well you mix the stuffing, it’s all in vain if you can’t wrap it in!

Skin jelly is not a mysterious thing. It is mainly made of the glue in the skin. It is usually made from the cortex of the leg - large quantity and good quality - especially pork legs and chicken feet. It is cooked with some good wine and ginger.

Take it out, mix it with the fillings, and let it cool until midnight, just right for making soup dumplings.

"Please make it for me." Li Xingzhi was a little curious about how people in the Tang Dynasty made these things.

However, the little fat man didn't bring much surprise to Li Xingzhi. They were all quite satisfactory. It was just more delicate than Li Xingzhi's rough technique, but it wasn't much different.

Li Xingzhi still learned something from it. The little fat man had been a chef in a restaurant for several years. In terms of experience and handling of some details, he was far incomparable to Li Xingzhi. However, this still required time and accumulation and could not be rushed.

Li Xingzhi didn't make too many small soup dumplings, so everyone just had to taste them. Otherwise, the big-bellied men in the Li family wouldn't know how much they had to eat to be full because they were so small!

In less than half a quarter of an hour, white steam was rising up, carrying the fragrance of pasta, which made the fat man's big belly start to bulge! Seeing that he was almost out of the cage, the little fat man was about to reach out and take a cage down, but was knocked down.

Li Xingzhi stopped him.

The fat man didn't know what he meant, and Li Xingzhi didn't explain it. He just said, "You'll know when the time comes."

He covered the fire under the stove and waited for a quarter of an hour before taking off the steamer. He saw that the little things on it were quite exquisite and cute, and each one was tender and plump. Looking carefully, he found that the things outside were

The skin is light yellow and transparent, and you can vaguely see the small ball of stuffing in the middle through the overflowing soup...

The little fat man couldn't wait any longer. He used chopsticks to carefully pick up a delicate little soup dumpling, put it into his mouth, and took a bite.

This bite is amazing. This soup dumpling doesn't look very hot, but during the process of stuffing it, all the heat and aroma are pressed into the soup in the middle. Just when you take a bite, it bursts out in your mouth.

come out.

Although it is a mouthful of good taste, it is not something that ordinary people can eat. A little fat man like this can only cover his mouth, keep moaning "Woo", and open and close his mouth, as if he wants to spit something out, but he is a little reluctant to let it go.

appearance.

The little fat man's face turned red and he struggled to swallow his food. Then he looked at Li Xingzhi with a resentful look on his face, knowing that Li Xingzhi was deliberately watching his joke!

"You can't blame me, why are you so impatient about this?" Li Xingzhi's face was constricted, and the servants coming and going around him also looked at the little fat man with interest.

The little fat man has only been here for a short time, but he is quite popular in the Li family. His loyal appearance can often make everyone laugh unexpectedly.

Li Xingzhi just tasted the taste, then brought some steamed cakes, soy milk, soft tofu and the like, and went to the hall, where Wang Xiucai and Erlang must have been waiting.

Li Xingzhi was still not used to doing things that he could do casually, because doing so always made him associate himself with some fat and white bugs; he also requested the same for Erlang.

Li Xingzhi walked into the hall carrying two plates of various things, but was stunned for a moment. He found that there were four people sitting in the hall at this time. In addition to Wang Xiucai and Erlang, Old Master Shi and Ouyang Xun were also among them.

The atmosphere was quite lively, and I didn’t know what was being said.

When everyone saw Li Xingzhi carrying two large plates of things, he looked a bit like the old doctor in the restaurant. Wang Xiucai didn't think anything of it. He was already well aware of Li Xingzhi's strange habits; and Wang Erlang, under Li Xingzhi's influence, even

I thought it was nothing; but the other two were stunned for a moment, wondering what the eldest son of the Li family was doing again. After all, even in ordinary families with some wealth, they would not do such things as carrying basins and bowls.

When they saw Wang Xiucai, neither of them looked surprised, so they kept their doubts in their hearts. But they didn't know that Wang Xiucai was also a little helpless. He talked to his husband several times, but finally let it go.

No wonder.

No matter what they thought, they all stood up and came to greet him. They took the things one by one and put them on the table without waiting for the servants next to them to come over.

The four of them started chatting. It turned out that it was about the library. All the things were ready, and they were just waiting for a good and auspicious day to break ground. Originally, several people came to ask Li Xingzhi for his opinion, but Li Xingzhi had no idea about the selection.

I don’t have any good suggestions for life. I just say “the sooner the better”!

These days, several people are very busy, but as soon as they finish their work, they will go back to Li's house to copy the books. From now on, those copied will be placed in the library. As for the originals,

Even if Li Xingzhi is willing to part with it, others are absolutely reluctant to part with it. Not to mention its own value, those scripture notes left by predecessors are the most rare!
