Chapter 198 The Return of the Cook
Liyue Secret Vault, whose full name in the secret archives is "Liyue Secret Research and Development and Countermeasure Response Department". In the impression of many people with a little status, this is a mysterious department that preserves Liyue's thousand-year heritage.
Simply put, this is a strange department that has been picking up garbage for thousands of years and has turned into a semi-preservation and semi-scientific research department in modern times.
There is no doubt that the real leader of this strange department in secret is the head of the Gu family in each generation, but he is just a figurehead.
The Gu family's inheritance has never been broken, so it has been regarded as a very reliable skill tree by those scientific research lunatics . They are always thinking about prying some high-tech things from Gu Sanqiu's house for research.
However, the description of "big eyes and small stomach" is completely realistic for them, without any exaggeration.
Or maybe this is what is in the mind of every Liyue person. When they see something that is useful, might be useful, or might be useful in the future, they want to stock up on it.
What's more, the excuses those bastards came up with were particularly high-sounding, such as "The Gu family has few members, and precious things need to be placed in multiple places to prevent them from being lost", or simply empty slogans like "For Liyue".
However, the Fengxiang lineage, who were also weirdos, and demon-level weirdos at that, did not buy into their tricks at all, and their food chain relationship directly suppressed them.
Generally speaking, Gu Sanqiu would not go to the secret library to cause trouble. For those scientific researchers, conducting research on their own is the best option.
Even if he really gave serious instructions, and those guys who went there were all the protagonist's sons of luck with great fortune, they could probably only replicate the scene of a thousand years ago.
But for the sake of what happens next, or for the sake of investment and facing the future, it is certainly not enough to just replicate the past glory.
The best option at the moment is to let them grow wildly, and then he will take charge of the overall situation to prevent these lunatics from going astray.
“There is still time and opportunity, so why not try a better path?”
Gu Sanqiu shook his head, not knowing whether this method was right or not. Anyway, the previous heads of the Gu family had not interfered too much in the direction of the secret library, so he didn't know what they were thinking.
However, there is actually another possibility. If you really want to defeat these guys, you need to convince them in the areas where they are good at.
If my guess is true, then the main reason why the former head of the Gu family did not interfere too much in the affairs of the secret library was probably because he was lazy...
"Forget it, eating is the most important thing."
Wanmin Hall, here I come!
"Hey, the busy man is off work?"
When Master Mao saw Gu Sanqiu floating towards him like a piece of paper, he couldn't help but make a joke.
"Ah, I'm done."
After correcting documents for the entire day, he was verbally attacked by the guys in the secret library and mocked for being single. If he hadn't had to pay attention to his image in front of those guys, he would have wanted to use the power of the element of rock to get a cushion and lie down on the spot.
Gu Sanqiu replied weakly: "Please, Master Mao, just give me one portion as usual."
"Okay, wait."
The rich aroma penetrated his nostrils, and Gu Sanqiu, who was lying on the table, moved slightly, like a corpse-resurrecting protagonist at the crime scene.
But it was not because of the aroma of the food, but some inexplicable factors.
"Well, could it be that..."
Gu Sanqiu raised his head and looked at Wanmintang's signature boiled fish, and his nose twitched slightly.
"hiss--"
Gu Sanqiu took a deep breath, and then his whole body entered a state of "instant resurrection".
There is no other reason, it’s just that the taste of this bowl of boiled fish is too spicy!
"How many Jueyun peppers were put in this?"
Gu Sanqiu picked up a piece of chili with chopsticks and put it into his mouth: "Well, it doesn't seem to be because of the number of peppers..."
This chopstick of chili gives people the illusion that their body is burning inside and out, as if something that only exists as a taste has become a flame and is truly "burning".
"Xiangling, stop hiding. You made this bowl of boiled fish, right?"
"Clang clang! It's you, Sanqiu!"
A short-haired girl quickly appeared in Gu Sanqiu's sight: "You can tell it's my cooking right away. You are worthy of being the person I must defeat on my culinary journey!"
"Who did you learn this from..."
Gu Sanqiu smiled and said, "Why, if you want me to taste the food, you can just tell me directly, why do you have to use this method?"
"Hey, my cooking skills have improved recently."
Xiangling smiled as she sat on the stool and said, "I didn't expect that using elemental power to warm the ingredients would actually work. You are really amazing."
"I want to state in advance that this is not something I came up with on my own. I discovered it after reading a book."
Gu Sanqiu poured the soup from the boiled fish over the rice: "Where have you been during this time?"
"Hey, didn't you figure it out?"
Xiangling smiled and said, "This is the meat I specially purchased from Mond Qingquan Town. It is a forest pig that I slaughtered after special training. Do you feel any difference when putting it in the boiled fish?"
"Beast meat from Qingquan Town. What the hell is special training?"
"I went to many places and summarized the data based on the climate characteristics of different regions and the different foods of forest pigs. Finally, I came up with a very universal training method to improve meat quality."
Xiang Ling's eyes were full of light: "How is it? The climate in Qingquan Town is very good. Do you feel that what you eat is high-quality beast meat with a breath of freedom?"
"As expected of you, you can actually do something like this."
Gu Sanqiu picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth: "Well, it tastes really good, but why did you go all the way to Qingquan Town? I remember there are several very good breeding farms around Liyue."
"Oh, I heard that the meat produced in Qingquan Town is excellent. As a chef, I naturally need to be strict and meticulous in the selection of ingredients."
"You're right, but I don't really taste any breath of freedom. It just tastes like an exploding flame."
"ah?"
Xiangling was a little disappointed: "Is it a failure to use elemental power to warm the beast meat? But if we don't go through this step for all the ingredients, the taste and layers of the ingredients will be different, which will also become a failure."
"If I use wind element to warm it up, would it be better? But I don't know anyone who has the Wind Element Divine Eye."
"Well, if possible, I suggest you use a small amount of wind slime gel to wrap the beast meat, and then use elemental power to warm it."
“This not only deepens the so-called ‘free breath’, but also ensures that the different flavours and treatments can blend together under the power of the flame.”
"Well, to put it simply, you can consider incorporating the diffusion reaction into this dish, 'Xiangling's Special Boiled Fish'."
"Ahhhh you are such a man, you can give advice so easily, it seems I still have a long way to go!"
Xiangling went crazy for a moment, then clenched her fists and looked full of energy.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's have a serious cooking competition with me!"
"I refuse."
Gu Sanqiu had a blank expression on his face: "I have to work overtime these few days. It's already very good to be able to run out and have a meal after get off work. I don't want to do the energy-consuming things you mentioned."
"How can this be? As a chef who wants to reach the top, how can you stop honing your skills?"
