Chapter 419 Little Mushroom

It is unbelievable that in order to conceive the essence of life, it must continuously absorb the vitality of the heaven and earth during the growth process, and it will be formed over a long period of time.

For fungi like mushrooms, the growth cycle is at most a month, how can it be possible to breed the essence of life?Even Ganoderma lucidum, which is as famous as ginseng, must be dozens or hundreds of years old!

Of course, if you directly input the energy of the ancestor gods into these mushrooms like yourself, then even the most common mushrooms will contain the pure essence of life in a blink of an eye.

It's just that in this world, can you find another person who has the same energy as the ancestor god?
In addition, there is another possibility, that is, to cultivate with energy emulsion, which can also make these mushrooms contain the essence of life.

But even if someone got the energy lotion, given its rarity, who would be bored enough to use it to grow mushrooms to satisfy everyone's food?
Because Ling Zikai was thinking about mushrooms in his mind, Ling Zikai stood there in a daze, holding his chopsticks in his hands for a long time without dropping them. Zhang Hao next to him touched him with his arm and asked curiously:
"Why are you in a daze? If you don't rush to order, you won't be able to eat later!"

After being awakened, Ling Zikai realized that during this moment of contemplation, most of the dishes that were served had been divided up by everyone.

Although it is impossible for everyone to know the mystery hidden in these dishes, these dishes containing the essence of life are not comparable to those dishes that are usually eaten in terms of color, aroma, and taste.As long as you take a sip, your mouth can't stop.

Especially for girls like He Ling, Chen Yi, and Zhang Nan, in order to maintain a good figure, they usually lose weight and control their food intake, but now they can't resist the temptation of the tip of their tongues, and they have completely lost the restraint of a lady. A complete foodie.

Ling Zikai felt a little funny in his heart when he saw how hungry they were.If they continue to eat like this, they will definitely agree to what they said earlier: "If you are full, you will be full!"

Ling Zikai tasted all the "Eight Treasures" served with the mood of finding out.

As he expected, among these eight delicacies, there were six dishes with that kind of mushroom.It goes without saying that these six dishes all contain the essence of life.In the remaining two dishes, because of the lack of this kind of mushroom as an auxiliary material, they tasted particularly bland.

From this point of view, the reason why the Bazhen Pavilion's "Bazhen Vegetables" are famous outside the world does not have much to do with the secret method used by the imperial court as they advertised.No matter what kind of dish it is, as long as it uses that kind of small mushroom as an auxiliary material, it will become a rare dish.

I don't know if this is just a coincidence, or the owner of the restaurant did it deliberately!
The so-called coincidence means that these six dishes are cooked completely according to the recipes of the year, and the ingredients used happen to have that kind of mushroom as an auxiliary material.

If it is done deliberately, it means that the restaurant owner or cooking chef knows that using this mushroom as an auxiliary ingredient plays a key role in the taste of the dish.

But, knowing this, why don't they add this mushroom to all their dishes?In that way, wouldn't every dish in the restaurant become a delicacy, and the business of the restaurant must be even more booming!

Reminiscent of the restaurant's rule of only serving ten seats of Bazhencai every day, Ling Zikai thought of a possibility, that is, the output of this mushroom is very small, which can only meet the supply of ten tables of "Bazhencai".

Presumably, the mushrooms that can contain the essence of life are probably even more precious than the wild ginseng!

As far as this is concerned, Ling Zikai can be sure that the restaurant owner or chef does not know the secret of the essence of life contained in this mushroom, otherwise it would be impossible to use it as an ingredient. This is completely reckless!
Where did this mushroom come from?
Ling Zikai's heart was filled with strong interest and curiosity.

Originally, he was somewhat wary of the weird old man in the restaurant, and didn't want to have too much to do with him.Now, instead, he regretted that he shouldn't have rejected the invitation earlier, and was thinking about how to create an opportunity to meet the old man again so that he could find out the source of the little mushroom.

At this moment, the restaurant owner who had already left the box came in again.Holding a tray in his hand, he walked straight to Ling Zikai.

"Mr. Ling, this is a bottle of fine wine specially ordered by my old man to give you!"

The restaurant owner picked up a small white bottle from the tray and put it on the table in front of Ling Zikai, and then took a small and exquisite pocket cup.

"Thank you, old man, for your kindness!"

Ling Zikai looked at the bottle and cup in front of him curiously.

It seemed that the bottle and the cup were carved from the same kind of white jade.

The bottle is shaped like a gourd, small and exquisite.It should be said that this is the smallest wine bottle that Ling Zikai has ever seen in his life. It is smaller than the common 125ml wine bottle on the market, and it can only be filled with about two taels at most.If he hadn't heard what the restaurant owner said in advance, Ling Zikai would have mistaken it for a bottle of perfume or something.

Similarly, the cup is also very small, no more than five centimeters high, and the diameter of the mouth of the cup is about two centimeters. Even if it is full of wine, it will be dry after one sip.But if I finish pouring the wine in the jade bottle, I'm afraid I can pour seven or eight glasses.It seems that this wine bottle and wine glass are quite suitable.

It seemed that the bottle of fine wine given by the old man of the restaurant was aimed at Ling Zikai alone, and he had no intention of sharing it with everyone present.

Zhang Hao on the side said with some displeasure: "Your old man is too smug, anyway, they all sit at the same table, so he shouldn't be so partial to one another."

A look of embarrassment appeared on the restaurant owner's face, and he explained: "To tell you the truth, this bottle of wine is a treasure that the old man has treasured for decades, and there is only one glass left in the bottle. If we really let everyone share it, I'm afraid Everyone sitting here can only take a sip from the cup, wouldn't that be even more respectful!"

Before the restaurant owner finished speaking, He Ling yelled: "What do you mean! Do you want us to spit out everything we ate! Let everyone take turns to lick in the cup? Thank you for thinking How can you be so disgusting! Even if the bottle is filled with the fairy wine drunk by the gods in the sky, I will not care about it!"

The owner of the restaurant quickly said: "So, Mr. Ling can only taste this fine wine alone! Of course, I didn't think carefully before and neglected everyone! Our restaurant will send a bottle of puree Moutai that has been preserved for 20 years. Sorry everyone!"

The 20-year-old puree Moutai is also a priceless treasure, which is enough to show the sincerity of Bazhen Pavilion.But at this moment, everyone's thoughts were all attracted by the small bottle in front of them, and they didn't know what kind of wine the old man gave Ling Zikai to taste.
