Jing Xuan was preparing the vegetarian dishes listlessly as she mumbled, "My beads, my beads …"
Ye Cang started watching Chen Shang Ellie's cooking. First, she used fish and mushrooms to make the best broth. Then, she placed nine steamers on top of the broth and used the steam from the broth to steam the steamers. The aroma filled the entire kitchen. The first layer was the bear paw with crystal honey, the second layer was the mushroom man, the third layer was the ham platter she made herself, the fourth layer was the wild chicken stuffed with the manor's ingredients, the fifth layer was the split hoof sheep steamed with rice made from Old Mary's peach blossom rice and the sixth layer was the steamed buns, the seventh layer was the special Four Happiness Meatballs, the eighth layer was the parasitic mushroom crab and the ninth layer was the fish head. This dish alone was worth nine dishes!
Old Li looked at the arrangement. With this arrangement, the smell of the steamed buns would seep through the layers of ingredients. The higher the steamed buns were, the stronger the smell of the steamed buns would be. After much consideration, the sixth layer was the steamed buns to absorb the mixed smell of the steamed buns. Similar to the effect of filtration, it would disperse the pure steamed buns. As for the fish head, it was the main dish. It was not hard to imagine how delicious the fish head was. It was already the most delicious fish and with such a meticulous design, the eighth layer was still the parasitic mushroom crab. The steamed water was also the best broth. Zhang Lao went to take a look at how it was going.
Ye Cang also went over to take a look. Old Li saw that Old Zhang had been using Minced Fish Meat, Not Alike Meat, and Sky Sparrow Meat since the morning. He used the three in order three times and the reverse order twice to remove the impurities in the broth. At this time, the broth had already been cleaned by him until it was as clear as a light green tea.
Old Li looked at Zhang Lao. Last night, the broth was still as thick as the Japanese porcupine bone broth. It was thick and sticky. This was a delicate job. Although it was not difficult to raise the broth to this extent, it was extremely time-consuming. It was not something that could be done by skimping on the materials. No matter how good a chef was, there was only one way to go. That was to repeatedly clean the broth meticulously. There was no shortcut. This old fellow had chosen a proper way to teach Chen Shang Ellie a lesson. However, there was still something missing. The Four Seasons Pearl should not have been put in yet. Eh, should I help him? Old Li went to the other side and quietly took out the shriveled Faerie Tofu that had been baked in the oven. Then, he placed it beside Zhang Lao. Zhang Lao did not reject it.
Zhang Lao looked at the broth that was almost ready. Then, he looked at Chen Shang Ellie, who was too busy to be distracted. I may be a little inferior to that brat Little Li in terms of the number one chef in the food city, but this number two! I will not let you, little girl, win no matter what you say! Although I feel sorry for Jing Xuan, this Four Seasons Pearl was for this moment! I must get it! He threw the Four Seasons Pearl into the broth.
The original light brown color of the broth was stained by the colorful liquid after the Four Seasons Pearl dissolved. It was like colorful paint falling into clear water. Soon, all the colors disappeared, including the brown color. The whole pot of broth turned into a real pot of boiled water.
However, the rich aroma attracted Chen Shang Ellie's attention. What the hell is this?! What did that old man use?! It's the Four Seasons Pearl! Jing Xuan! I've asked you to give me one at a high price, but you're protecting your chrysanthemum with all your might! I really want to take a look at the broth after the changes brought by the Four Seasons Pearl. I frowned. Whatever, I'll just focus on what I'm doing now!
"The Four Seasons Pearl is indeed powerful …" Old Li, Zhang Lao, and Ye Cang said in unison. They then looked at Jing Xuan. Old Li knew that it would be harder to trick Jing Xuan. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. He leaned his ankle against Ye Cang. Ye Cang crossed her arms and stroked her chin. Then, an idea popped up in her mind. "How many more does he have? Old Zhang. "
"Six."
"I'll find a way to make him hand over half with love."
"Give me one!"
"I'll take one too!"
"Benefits? Both of you are already lifelong chefs in the food city … "
"You're such a naughty kid. I can find a way to get another chef who is as good as me to join the food city," Zhang Lao complained.
"Old Mary is too old. I know a pastry chef. I can get her to join the food city. Besides, she's dumb but rich. She has a nice figure and fair skin. If she's not the daughter of my sworn brother, she would be my concubine." Ye Cang nodded in satisfaction after hearing Old Li's words. "Alright then. Remember what you said. But all of this is for the food city. It's righteous!"
"Yeah! It's righteous! "The two old men nodded.
Ye Cang smiled and walked towards Jing Xuan. Zhang Lao stared at Ye Cang's back. "What color do you think his heart is when it's cut open?"
"Pure and natural black …"
"But come to think of it, you're not any better. You won't even let go of Xiao Gong's daughter …"
"Eh, Zhang Lao, what do you mean by not letting go? This is called studying in the food city. His daughter is here. How can he sit still?"
"You beast … hehe. I like it. I'm not going to argue with you. My soup is ready. "
Ye Cang walked towards Jing Xuan. Suddenly, she felt weightless. Her head turned black and she was on the verge of collapsing. Jing Xuan regained her senses and quickly held onto Ye Cang. When Ye Cang opened her eyes again, her eyes were filled with peace and Buddha's light. She knew that the Venerable Master was here. However, she felt like she had seen this somewhere else before. She just couldn't remember. "Is it Master Sanzang?"
"That's right. It's me. I can feel that something is wrong with you."
"Master, I'm sorry. Just some worldly possessions can make me feel so depressed. Sigh. I'm so ashamed."
"You're wrong. You're wrong. There's nothing in this world that is external and there's also nothing that is internal. Everything is based on appearances. Appearances are born from the heart. The reason why you're like this is because you're obsessed with appearances." Ye Cang smiled at the prayer beads. "Is it this?"
"Yes. This is the Bead of Four Seasons that I've spent many years to make. It has the miraculous effect of making soup."
Ye Cang slowly reached out and took the beads away. "Are you angry?"
“。。。。。” Jing Xuan felt a huge change in her heart. However, in the face of the master's guidance, she suppressed her emotions and shook her head. "I'm fine."
"How about this?" Ye Cang took out one of the beads and put it into his pocket.
Not bad. "
"How about this?" Ye Cang took out another bead and looked at Jing Xuan with the same smile on his face.
Jing Xuan chose to remain silent. Ye Cang took out the third bead and put it into his pocket. He looked at her with disappointment. "You're lying to yourself. You're greedy, angry, and obsessed. You obviously care about it, but you pretend that you don't. Sigh. I'll take these three beads. Think about it. Why don't you face your true heart first? If you don't face it, how can you transcend? How can you obtain Prajna …"
Ye Cang put the remaining three beads into Jing Xuan's hand gently. He then shook his head and turned around. He suddenly shivered. "Eh? Wasn't I watching Old Zhang cook just now? Why am I acting so weird recently? "
