The European Emperor’s character remains standing

Chapter 122 A sumptuous dinner and the past in memories
  After An Zheer came out of the game to complete the job change mission, he walked downstairs and saw Lin Shilu lying on the back of the sofa, looking in the direction of the kitchen.

At this time, no one in the house saw that the originally blue sky outside gradually darkened and was covered by layers of dark clouds.

"Isn't Aunt Zhang here?" An Zhe'er looked in the direction of the kitchen and asked.

Lin Shilu heard the other party's footsteps, but was still immersed in his own thoughts. He looked at the busy people in the kitchen and spoke after hearing An Zhe'er's question.

"Oh! You came out of the mission a little late, so I didn't meet you. Not long after we left the game, we met Aunt Zhang and said that her children were back. Then You Zai wanted to make a table of dishes by herself, so she didn't know what to use. I impressed Aunt Zhang and asked her to go home directly, and this is what you see in the end."

"Then I'll go see if I can help! It looks like they are very busy, hehe."

After An Zhe'er listened, a smile appeared on his face.

"Wish you good luck!" Lin Shilu waved towards An Zhe'er. How could she not know what he was thinking? She had thought the same way before, and then she was kicked out.

She was seen tiptoeing toward the kitchen. Halfway there, she felt that something was wrong with her, so she pretended to cough twice, rolled up her sleeves, and walked to the kitchen in a swagger.

Chen Siyuan is good at cold dishes. He is going to make some cold dishes with Su Heng. He is cutting the vegetables at the moment, and Su Heng is responsible for washing the vegetables and placing them on the plates.

Suddenly, from the corner of his eye, he saw An Zhe'er strutting towards the kitchen. He put down the knife in his hand, then picked up a plate of washed fruits and stood in front of An Zhe'er.

"Go, go, the kitchen is forbidden!" Chen Siyuan said, pushing the plate of fruit into her arms.

An Zhe'er tried to give the plate of fruit to Chen Siyuan, but the other party didn't accept it at all. She had no choice but to pick up a toothpick and stick it in the fruit. While eating, she said, "Don't be like this. I'm not here to ask for fruit. I just want to I want to see if you need help, I think you are quite busy."

Beard Feng put away the hot and sour potato shreds and walked over and said, "No, as long as you two don't enter the kitchen, you will be doing us the greatest favor. Siyuan, my food has been fried, leave this to me, you go Help me."

After Chen Siyuan came over, Su Heng took over his vegetable cutting job.

Su Heng's sword skills are as superb as Chen Siyuan's, but he is better at all kinds of presentation.

"Save your energy, I won't let you enter the kitchen no matter what." Huo Feng said, taking a piece of peach from the plate to eat.

"Don't you want to try my craftsmanship?" An Zhe'er blinked at him, full of expectation.

After Hufeng finished eating the fruit, he also ate the fruity toothpick, and said with a firm attitude: "If you don't want to, just go out quickly! The meal will be ready later. You two will go into the kitchen to wash your hands and eat. Otherwise Also, you are prohibited from setting foot in the kitchen!"

Hu Shi was kneading the pastry. Halfway through, he realized that the filling was not done. He shouted to Sanhua who was standing at the door: "Brother, come here and do me a favor."

"Come here!" Huzi Feng turned to look at his brother's current progress, grabbed some fruity toothpicks with strawberry and mango flavors from the side, put them on the plate, and said: "Fruity toothpicks, the flavors you two like, the fruit can be appropriate. Eat something, dinner will be served later.”

Fruity toothpicks come in different flavors, with a texture between hard candy and harder jam, and there are even squid-filled flavors.

An Zhe'er took another look into the kitchen, and there was no exception.

The others seemed to be cooking, but in fact they were looking at her from the corner of their eyes.

You can't get in because the defense is too tight.

She couldn't help but feel a little downcast, and she felt a little better looking at the fruits and toothpicks on the plate.

"OK then!"

In addition to the noodles that Hu Feng is good at, his best dish is spicy and sour potato shreds.

He cooked three dishes in total, one main dish, spicy and sour potato shreds, and the other two were pasta, which could be eaten as staple food.

Qiye's own specialty is noodles.

It can be said that the two brothers' criminal skills came from their parents.

Among them, Hu Huifeng learned from his mother, and his specialty is pasta, and his steamed buns are particularly realistic.

It's not that I haven't thought about the other things, but it's a bit time-consuming. I happened to have ready-made peach jam and orange jam on hand. When cooking this time, he directly made two types of steamed buns, one orange steamed bun and one peach jam steamed bun. These two kinds of steamed buns were specially made to look like original fruits.

Among them, for the orange-shaped steamed buns, he specially added freshly squeezed oranges and orange juice, which had no effect. It was just his habit.

Put the two squeezed mixed juices into the center of the flour in the basin. If you look at it this way, the color is not enough, so you need something else to dye it.

For example, there are still a few pumpkins piled up in the corner of the kitchen. The pumpkins, a specialty of the demon world, are very big. Only half of them should be enough.

There are also carrots that can be used as a substitute, but since An Zhe'er and Lin Shilu both dislike carrots, he sliced ​​the pumpkin and dried it, then used magic to crush the dried pumpkin slices into powder and mix it into the flour. , this pumpkin can also be used as a substitute for pastry dyeing.

The kitchen at Lu Zai's house was very comprehensive, and it was not without machines. But at that time, someone was using the machine, so he used the magic method, which was no worse than the machine, and it was ready in a few breaths.

After making the two kinds of steamed buns, steam them in a pot for ten minutes.

Beard Feng took advantage of this time to wash the potatoes, slice and shred them and put them in the water. Then he quickly cut the peppers. After cutting the peppers, he quickly picked up the potato shreds from the water, drained the water, and started frying the hot and sour potato shreds. .

Fortunately, Lu Zai's kitchen only looks like it has three stoves, but it can actually be expanded. A hidden space was added at the beginning of the design. When you unfold the folding space of the kitchen, you can see that there is actually a separate stove here.

However, Hu Shi said that like his brother, Hu Shi was also the best at pastry. He learned it from his father, so he was good at all kinds of shortbread and traditional pastries.

In addition, because he likes to eat desserts, he also specially learned how to make additional desserts.

Ahem, that's too far.

This time, Xu Feng only cooked two dishes, namely caramel pudding and rose flower cake.

The ingredients were fresh roses that he picked a week ago. After baking, he put them directly in his storage space. Until cooking this time, he never thought that he had such an ingredient that had not been touched.

Putting items in the storage space will extend the shelf life, and they also have deer cubs.

They use the most common storage space in the interstellar era, which uses space folding technology to expand and compress the space onto the terminal. You can also choose other styles, but the terminal chip style is easier to carry.

Hu Xi was making the crust of the flower cake. He had just squeezed out some of the flower petals and mixed it with flour. As he was kneading the dough, he realized that he hadn't had time to mix the filling.

Coincidentally, from the corner of my eye, I saw my brother still chatting at the door of the kitchen. He was quite free, so the previous scene happened.

After Hu Feng finished his instructions, he asked Zhu Qingxuan to help him check the time. After a while, he began to help his brother adjust the fillings for the flower cake.

Next to them, Su Heng and Chen Siyuan worked together to make another cold dish. Chen Siyuan still cut the radish and pepper into shreds, and Su Heng was responsible for the seasoning.

The cold dish this time is cold radish, at least half of it must be submerged in the prepared sauce, and no formal presentation is required.

Su Heng's knife skills are superb, and the cuts are neatly arranged and thin, which is good news for obsessive-compulsive disorder. However, the problem is that he cuts very slowly. If he cuts fast, he is not as good as Siyuan. So of the two people, he was responsible for setting the dishes and seasoning.

Zhu Qingxuan cooks vinegared cabbage and cabbage-wrapped pork.

Sautéing cabbage in vinegar is quick, leaving only the cabbage to wrap the meat and steam it, so it takes some time.

He had already prepared these two dishes in advance, and there was no need to clean up the kitchen utensils after use.

There are many stoves in the kitchen, but there are still relatively few pots. The wok he used up will be used by Husband Feng to stir-fry hot and sour potato shreds later. The same is true for the steamer. Huzi Feng will also need to use a steamer later to steam the steamed buns.

All you need to do is take out the plate of steamed cabbage-wrapped meat and put it next to the cooked dishes, and use the magic method to maintain the temperature just out of the pot.

Therefore, basically as soon as one person finishes the front step, the other person can immediately connect, and everyone in the kitchen has a tacit understanding.

Finally, let us turn the topic to the last person in the kitchen, Zhu Qingyou. She is responsible for the final main course like Qingxuan.

The staple food has been determined, which are two flavors of steamed buns from Hu Huifeng. He steamed two large drawers.

Desserts after the meal were delicious caramel pudding and flower cakes. The caramel pudding was one portion per person, but the flower cakes were two full plates. Each flower cake was half the size of a palm.

While ensuring that you are full, you can also enjoy the rain and dew, which satisfies your taste buds. Everyone can get two or three portions.

Of the two plates of flower cakes, one is a normal light yellow pastry, and the other is rose red. In addition to rose petals, dyeable fruit juice is also added to the outer shell as an important part of the dyeing.

There are no special molds at Lu Zai’s house, but there are round molds for making mooncakes, so these flower cakes are in the style of mooncakes.

The cold dishes were jointly made by Su Heng and Chen Siyuan, including a bowl of cold radish, a plate of sweet and sour shredded lotus root without carrots, and cold jellyfish with shredded radish.

As for the rest of the main course, it is naturally made up of Zhu Qingxuan and Zhu Qingyou.

Zhuqingxuan's vinegar-soaked cabbage and cabbage-wrapped pork look particularly fragrant. One bite of the cabbage-wrapped pork is full of meat, with no onions, ginger, or garlic.

But it's not fishy at all. This is because when he was cooking the meat, he used various seasonings to remove the fishy smell of the meat in advance.

After all, no one wants to take a bite. In addition to the meat, you can also eat fishy seasonings such as onions, ginger, and garlic.

After steaming, the cabbage in the cabbage-wrapped meat has absorbed the meat's soup, and when preparing the filling, he deliberately did not fry it, so that a solid meat ball can be formed.

Karen Zhu is good at many dishes, the best of which is scrambled eggs.

She looked around at the dishes that were out of the pot and those that had not been eaten, and thought: "The three main dishes should be enough, and the last soup is still missing."

Since dinner was already a big meal, she only prepared two dishes.

One is the most famous scrambled eggs, and the other is tomato, mushroom and egg soup.

Both dishes had special meaning to her, just like they had for the deer calf long, long ago.

Karen Zhu has a habit of cooking that she has had from the very beginning.

Every time she cooks a dish, she will record the cooking process, the improvement process, and the final score afterwards.

It's just that there are always only the first two items in her recipe notes, but not the latter one.

Every time after cooking, she would record the cooking process, and then based on her inner feelings, she would improve the dish little by little to suit the taste of the dreamer.

Subconsciously, she always felt that the last rating should be given by a person who tasted the dish after eating it, and then wrote the score for the dish next to the name of the dish, which can also be understood as a liking value. .

Then, based on this score, you can decide whether to cook food for the other party again.

It's a pity that she seems to have not found the person in her dream in the past ten years.

It wasn't until she moved here not long ago that Zhu Qingyou finally remembered everything.

What she didn't know was that the memories she recalled were the memories left after Xi Ling had spent some time with Lin Shilu and left.

Even if these remaining memories and emotions were suppressed by Xi Ling, at the last moment, they awakened the past deep in Zhu Qingyou's memory.

Even though I know that these memories do not belong to me, I still feel as if I have experienced them personally. When I see the person in my dream again, my emotions and reason are destined to affect her heart.

Yes, in the years when the memory fragments gave birth to spirituality, Zhu Qingyou and Zhu Qingxuan were the main memory fragments of Xi Ling. Their memories were partially blocked due to the trial rules, but they were often affected by the unconsciousness. Dreams He recalled and resurfaced his past interactions with Lin Shilu. Outside the kitchen, Lin Shilu watched the whole process of Zhu Qingyou cooking and stewing soup and gradually fell into memories.

The faces of Zhu Qingyou and Zhu Qingxuan are completely different from Xi Ling, but their personalities are indeed partly the same as hers, especially Zhu Qingyou's.

Just like now, some of Zhu Qingyou’s habits when cooking.

Zhu Qingyou had cooked here once before. After the meal, she came over with a notebook and said that she wanted to ask her how she felt about the dishes she cooked, and then asked her to write down her feelings about these dishes in her notes. Dish ratings and impressions.

Lin Shilu was in a daze for a moment, and then wrote down his feelings and ratings on those dishes in his notes.

Below the rating is the production process of the entire dish. Behind the production process is an improved version of the production process deduced based on her favorite taste.

There were many pages in front of this page of notes, recording many different dishes. After she finished writing, she consulted the other party's opinion, took the notes and flipped them forward.

Lin Shilu discovered that the previous notes recorded the making process of the dish. The subsequent improved version was suitable for his favorite taste, but the score was missing.

This reminded her of the cooking notes she and Xi Ling had recorded together before. Unfortunately, the notes were gone after the other party disappeared.

She asked the other party why he did this, and Karen Zhu replied: "Maybe, I always feel that there is someone who will write recipe notes with me! That would be great, I cook and she eats, a perfect combination."

As he said that, the other party sighed.

"Unfortunately, my recipe notes are incomplete. The improved version of the dish needs to be made based on the ratings and subsequent feelings after eating the dish. Only when it is made and it really suits the other person's taste can it be written down, and only then can it be written down. This is the truly improved version.

Although the improved version may not be suitable for everyone's taste, it seems that I cook food just for the people in my dream, so I don't pay attention to that. "

Later, Karen Zhu pointed to the improved recipes in her notes and said, "Look, these improved recipes in my notes are all based on my reasoning. I always feel that there is a person whose taste is spicy and sour, and my favorite among them is The dish is scrambled eggs with chili pepper.”

Lin Shilu suppressed his surging emotions and listened silently.

"In the past ten years, I have always been unable to find that person. Even if I find it, it is still in a dream. When I wake up from the dream, there is nothing. Everything I dream about will be forgotten soon after I wake up."

"Shortly after moving here, I felt like I had found the one."

When she said this, her eyes were full of tenderness. She turned to look at Lin Shilu sitting next to her and continued:
  "For me in the past, it didn't matter who I was, and it didn't matter much. After all, in the eyes of the two elders of the Zhu family, I was their daughter, no matter who I was.

And now, not long after arriving here, I have found the person I have dreamed about for more than ten years. It might be important to her because, in fact, I might not be the same person she remembers.

Many times, I really can't tell whether I am myself or the identity in my memory. But it doesn't matter to me, as long as you can tell the difference. "

It would be a lie to say that he was not touched. After hearing what she said, Lin Shilu had mixed feelings.

Let us add a little bit more about the past of the two people here.

After Xi Ling and Lu Zai were brought home by Sister Ci, they spent two or three years together. Soon after, Xi Ling felt the impulse in her blood and knew that she was about to accept the inheritance.

As a result, he began to hint that he might be separated from her for a period of time in the future.

The two separated when they were about seven or eight years old.

After the reunion, they were 19 to 20 years old. When Xuanmeng was a sub-adult cub, they left for almost ten years.

Before that, the two of them had stayed in the place of birth for almost a few decades or a hundred years. The place of birth was the center of the secret realm and there was no concept of time.

For them, as long as they have not completely accepted the inheritance, they are still cubs and cannot leave the place of their birth.

Xi Ling's adult trial started more than a month after she left Lin Shilu's side.

About the spirituality of fragmentary birth.

Xi Ling finished her seclusion and accepted the inheritance test. The main body stayed in the seclusion place, and the memory fragments flew to various places in Xuan Meng.

Her largest memory fragment was Zhu Qingyou. Unlike the other fragments, it and another smaller fragment were left near the retreat place.

The retreat place is actually a large secret center. After the trial started, the center was completely blocked. The trial rules blocked the connection between the location of Xi Ling's body and the outside world, which was equivalent to a complete suspended animation.

No one can feel that this large secret center actually has a special space, and there is even a person in the special space.

This large memory fragment has been wandering in the center of the secret realm because of obsession and because the main body is nearby. It was excluded from the special space where the main body is located by the rules.

Within a few months, self-awareness emerged, and with her were slightly smaller memory fragments. Then the two spirits were discovered by the Zhu family parents who were sent to explore the secret realm.

They know that two spirits are spirits born from partial fragments of a certain person, and there may be partial memories of the original body when they reach adulthood.

Generally speaking, the conditions for spiritual birth are extremely harsh, requiring a pure nature and not being contaminated with too many karmic consequences or evil obstacles.

This kind of spirituality derived from body fragments is actually very rare. There are only two situations when spirituality is born:

One is that the body was very strong when he was alive, and his natal sword gave birth to a spirit or residual consciousness fragments that did not enter reincarnation and remained because of obsession. This is the natal sword spirit and itself.

Second, the spiritual fragment's own race or bloodline is very powerful, and it may or may not be accurate. It can only be the natal item and part of the original body of its own contract, the spiritual birth.

This part of the body may refer to residual obsessions, relatively ancient objects, or items that are suitable for the body and have important connections, such as natal swords, natal magic weapons, and the like.

This refers to the spirituality that is transformed into an object, or the spirituality that remains in a person’s consciousness.

There is another kind of spirituality, which is the spirituality that is born from ancient objects as they age. A certain animal becomes spiritual because it encounters a chance. The spirituality here is wisdom, which can also be understood as having self-awareness.

Most of the spiritual masters derived from body fragments are weird, and some are quite special.

At that time, the Zhu family's parents thought that this person was gone, but they did not know that the other person was actually conducting a trial.

This kind of spirituality is not much different from the spirituality of ancient objects or the birth of animals. They are both ignorant and as intelligent as a child born.

Later, part of the ontological memory may be awakened, but this ontological memory does not affect spirituality. It is not complete, it is incomplete, and it is only considered additional.

If I really wanted a metaphor, it would be similar to bloodline inheritance or racial memory.

This is not seizing the body. Seizing the body is the complete conscious soul body entering a brand new body. The original owner of body consciousness is destroyed by this conscious soul body.

Seizing the body is able to pass the soul inspection, and it is seen that the soul and body do not match. Moreover, because the soul body of the body-snatcher has destroyed its original conscious body, it will be entangled with related black energy karma.

And due to the mismatch between the soul and the body, the two will suffer varying degrees of damage.

Beyond that, there are the latter two.

You can also use the soul check to see whether you have taken the body or entered accidentally, or made a deal with the owner of the body.

If a soul enters a dying body, the body's original consciousness will dissipate unexpectedly without external force. This is not considered body-taking, but the soul will inevitably not match the body, and may even cause the body and soul to be damaged at the same time. This is caused by the incompatibility.

If the original body consciousness still remains, and later this consciousness intervenes and causes early dissipation, then it is considered to be contaminated with the cause and effect of this body. Let’s take possession of the house together!
  Secondly, before the body's original consciousness dissipates into reincarnation, it transfers its obsession to this soul body. Then the soul body will inherit the original cause and effect and obsession, and needs help to complete it. If you agree, you must do it, otherwise the rules will directly bring down thunder to punish those who do not keep their oaths.

Everything that happened was witnessed by the rules!
  After completing the obsession of the original body owner, the body and soul will gradually match, and the body and appearance will gradually become closer to the soul. The basic constitution of the body will not change, but there is no problem of incompatibility leading to damage to both parties.

Soul transfer is a special innate skill. It is a consciousness attached to another body. The original consciousness can observe the outside world, but it is in a different space.

During the soul transfer period, it is beneficial to both the soul transfer body and the main consciousness of the body, and can increase the soul energy of both parties.

For things like reshaping the body, related vital treasures are used, which usually have the effect of repairing and nourishing the soul. Apart from these, the reshaped body and soul must be 100% consistent, and there will be no such thing as incompatibility between the two, resulting in damage to both.

But rebuilding the body is also tough.

Not only does it require a lot of merit, but it also requires treasures to reshape the body. During this period, it is even necessary to ensure that there is a continuous input of spiritual energy during the process of reshaping the body.

Affected by the shaper's thoughts, the reshaped body will also undergo slight changes, but if it has a complete soul, it will gradually become consistent with the soul.

Let's talk about it again, Zhu Xishi and Ye Pingqing, after seeing these two spiritual beings, they really felt that they were destined for each other.

The two of them really had a fondness for these two spiritual beings who met unexpectedly. At that time, all the colleagues around them had babies, either they picked them up, or the elders in the family had children and brought them here.

After cultivating to a certain level, they do not say that it is difficult to have children, but that few are willing to have children. Of course, the specifics must be based on personal wishes.

They both want a baby, but don't want to have one.

So, isn’t this just a coincidence?

One of the two people stayed, and the other went home to get the treasures that had been accumulated over the years and could be used to shape the body. Since the two of them were not very skilled at this, they specially invited Xuan Meng to take charge.

Xuanmeng came here and became more and more familiar with it. Until she saw the destination, there was nothing wrong on her face, but her tone was very strange.

"Are you sure you want these two spirits to shape their bodies as your children?"

Zhu Xishi nodded: "Well, we have also consulted their opinions."

Ye Pingqing added: "We are both well-informed, and we also understand that they are spiritual fragments of one person's body. We are all prepared."

"Well, what I want to say is that these two spiritual entities are indeed good children. The source..."

Before he could finish speaking, a thunder and lightning suddenly fell next to Xuanmeng.

It’s a warning from the rules!

Xuanmeng was startled by the thunder and lightning, and muttered: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything."

"I want to tell you part of the truth, and you have seen it. But what I can say is that both these two spirits and their bodies are good children and will not pose any threat to you in the future." She spread her hands. explain.

Zhu Xishi smiled gently, looking at the two spirits floating in the air with loving eyes, and said: "It's okay, we really feel that these two children are destined to us."

"Well, yes, it feels very important. We are also first-time parents, but coincidentally, there are some colleagues around us who are also novices like us, so we have a lot of experiences to exchange." Ye Pingqing also likes these two spiritual beings very much. Like his wife, he has a natural affinity for these two spiritual beings.

And looking at the light around the spirit, you can tell that he is a good child, without any evil obstacles. It seems that their body is also very good, but I don't know why they died.

In this way, with Xuan Meng's help, they shaped the bodies of their two newly born spirits.

After the bodies were shaped, the two spirits looked like they were eight or nine years old. Because two people's spirits were continuously input into the shaping process, they were very similar to Zhu Xishi and Ye Pingqing.
