Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 168: Basics, Suppression Techniques
Tang Zheng was basically certain that the full set of equipment Luo Fei brought was not specially prepared for them to enter Wuqing Mountain.
Instead, it is hung on the body at any time and anywhere...
He has a personal storage bag in which he keeps pots, pans, and various condiments.
"Why don't you bring a chef with you?" Tang Zheng complained.
Luo Fei smiled ingratiatingly.
If such a smile appeared on Hua Yingxiu's face, it would certainly be very pleasing to the eye, but when it appeared on Luo Fei's face...
That's as mean as can be.
Tang Zheng waved his hand: "Go, go, go catch some fish!"
The water in the cold pond is deep, so of course no fish can be caught in it.
Luo Fei didn't want to eat dry food, so he had to go deeper.
However, he was already at the mid-three-star level, one star ahead of Tang Zheng, so there was nothing to worry about.
"It has been almost ten years since the last casting feast for the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Sachet. I haven't cast with the Yaoshan tribe." Lu Huang stood by the cold pond and looked at it for a long time, then turned around and looked at Hua Yingxiu.
"Yes." Hua Yingxiu smiled slightly, "I remember you at the last casting feast."
"A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix sachet?" Tang Zheng asked.
"Well, the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix sachet was made with high-purity purple gold provided by the Purple Gold City, woven by the Yaoshan Tribe, melted in gold to draw an array at the Bailian Workshop, filled with medicine by the Tianyi Valley, and then personally delivered by Yingshan Shadow King to the front line of Yanggu Pass of the Tianqin Family. That night, it reversed the situation that was on the verge of breaking the city..." Lu Huang still remembered the casting feast vividly.
Unfortunately, whether it is the Purple Gold City, the Yaoshan Tribe, the Bailianfang, the Yingshan, or the Tianyi Valley, they are not so compatible with each other.
Therefore, this kind of cooperation can only happen once and not twice, and there will probably never be another casting feast like this in the future!
While they were talking, Tilapia had already brought back a catfish and a big rock carp.
"Remove all the fish bones." Tang Zheng looked at the two fish, nodded, and took out his casting furnace.
Lu Huang and Luo Fei looked at the same time and changed their expressions: "Qinglu Furnace?"
Wasn’t what Tang Zheng took out the casting furnace that he used to play out the scene of a tadpole looking for its mother at the competition?
Even Lu Huang, who was not particularly pedantic and conservative, had his eyelids twitching when he saw Tang Zheng using the foundry furnace to cook.
But he changed his mind and thought that he had already eaten it last time. It might be a little inappropriate to jump out and accuse Tang Zheng of defiling the casting now.
Luo Fei clapped his hands: "Isn't it a waste of your fire-controlling skills to control the temperature? But... hey, I like it!"
As he said this he swallowed again.
"Delicious food, beautiful scenery, and beautiful castings... they are all connected." Hua Yingxiu gently took off her veil, her rosy lips opening and closing, "Master Tang Zheng is a person who pursues beauty with all his heart. No wonder he can cast such an exquisite and exquisite Star-Pointing Needle!"
Tang Zhengxing gathered all his strength and pointed at Hua Yingxiu with a smile: "You missed one thing, there is also a beauty!"
Hua Yingxiu's pretty face blushed and she lowered her head without saying a word.
As soon as Tang Zheng came up, he was immediately furious.
Luo Fei's star power had also been activated. He held a pair of chopsticks in each hand, but the star power extended along the chopsticks and continuously fell on the two fish.
As expected of a family member who is a master in processing raw materials, the Luo family is the star hunter - food ingredients are also materials!
As soon as Luo Fei started, his attention was completely focused.
It was as if what was placed in front of him were not two fish, but precious casting materials.
"It's good to warm up like this before casting..." Lu Huang simply took the various wild vegetables that Luo Fei brought back and started processing them using his star power.
"In that case ..." Hua Yingxiu took out a thumb-sized porcelain bottle from her sleeve. The porcelain bottle was engraved with intricate and beautiful patterns, and the colors were very bright and delicate. She said, "This bottle contains the snow water from the Tianchi Lake in our Xixian Peak!"
Tianchi snow water.
As soon as these four words came out, Lu Huang and Luo Fei's eyelids twitched again.
Even though the porcelain bottle is only the size of a thumb, they know that there is a space channel inside, and it directly collects snow water from Tianchi Lake, in an endless supply!
"Okay, okay, okay!" Luo Fei shouted okay three times in a row, and couldn't help but speed up his hands' movements!
Tang Zheng's fire accumulation stage ended quickly.
He just beckoned and Hua Yingxiu opened the cap of the small porcelain bottle.
The snow water from Tianchi that gushed out from it quickly filled the entire black pot!
The snow water from Tianchi Lake is colorless and tasteless, but it has the same refreshing smell as the water on Hua Yingxiu's body. However, the water in the black pot did not boil immediately, but was kept at ninety-nine degrees under the precise control of Tang Zheng's star power.
Just as Lu Huang finished cutting the various wild vegetables, a huge fire suddenly broke out in Tang Zheng's stove...
Tang Zheng reached out and poured the wild vegetables into the pot one by one, but each one only stayed for a short while before being taken out again.
The leaves of every wild vegetable are still green and juicy.
Then he stopped Tilapia from throwing the fish into the pot, and instead swept all the main spines of the fish that he had removed into the pot.
"Wow..." Luo Fei immediately covered his nose with his hands.
As Tang Zheng's fire suddenly rose, the soup in the pot quickly turned milky white.
The aroma was already filling the air before the fish was even cooked.
Tang Zheng picked up the pot and pushed the bottom of the pot with his star power. All the fish bones that had turned into dregs were pushed out. Then, the sword in his hand swept out silver light like silk threads, and sliced the processed fish meat of the tilapia into thin slices...
“Okay, I’ll do it!” When Luo Fei saw that the fish fillets Tang Zheng had prepared were so thin that sunlight could pass through them, he immediately became eager to try.
Luo Fei kept throwing the fish fillets in his hand into the pot, while Tang Zheng controlled the fire. He flipped the fish fillets over as soon as they entered the pot, and then his Taiyin star power sank downwards, immediately pressing the fish fillets to the bottom of the pot.
The water is extremely hot, the bottom of the pot is extremely cold, and then it is turned over to pass the ingredients...
It only takes three seconds to cook a piece of fish, and it already smells delicious when it comes out of the pan!
"Due to limited conditions, I cannot make the ten-flavor fish. Today I can only make the three most common flavors..." Tang Zheng took all the fish fillets out of the pot, "The first pot, boiled fish fillets."
Although there are not ten pots this time, Tang Zheng can make more changes in one pot!
Soon, a catfish was completely made into boiled fish fillets.
Before Luo Fei could pounce on the fish and take a bite, Tang Zheng turned the pot around, and the little water left at the bottom of the pot began to sizzle. Tang Zheng put the wild vegetables into the pot and chopped the big rockfish into pieces: "Second pot, vegetable root rockfish!"
Under each neatly arranged piece of fish is the root of the night grass, and on top is the lush green wild vegetables. The surrounding mountains and waters are simply appetizing...
But Tang Zheng has not let Luo Fei go yet: "The third pot, two fish playing with pearls! "
He fried the heads of the two fish into the pan, then flipped his palm and took out all the fish meat from the fish heads. They quickly solidified into fish balls in the flames...
The fish head is put into the plate, and the tender and delicious fish balls fly into the plate one by one like pinballs.
The three home-cooked dishes are finally finished.
Luo Fei was looking at Tang Zheng, as if he was expecting something.
"Eat." Tang Zheng picked up the chopsticks first.
"Ahhh!" Luo Fei, who had been waiting for a long time, finally heard these two words from Tang Zheng. He pounced on the food and started to devour it voraciously, as if he had received an imperial decree.
Huff, huff.
Luo Fei is a foodie, but he doesn't have the proper eating manners.
Anyway, he prepared the fish himself, so there was absolutely no way that there was even a fish bone. He ate the soup, fish and wild vegetables, bowl after bowl.
The two fish he brought back were really not small.
But Tang Zheng found that he really underestimated Luo Fei's fighting ability.
The number of Tang Zheng, Lu Huang and Hua Yingxiu combined is probably not as much as the number of fish in Luo Fei's stomach!
"Burp..." Luo Fei burped several times after eating so much. "I feel full of energy!"
"Well, let's get started!" Lu Huang gently put down his bowl and chopsticks.
…
The start that Lu Huang mentioned was, of course, the start of casting!
Tang Zheng looked at the condition of the tilapia and almost thought that he did not feed the tilapia a fish, but gave it an injection of stimulant.
Looking at his eyes, they seemed to be almost emitting fire.
Then... Lu Huang closed his eyes slightly, stretched out his hand and gently brushed across the sealed drawing!
The seal is lifted.
The drawing immediately appeared in front of Luo Fei and Hua Yingxiu.
Originally, it was only Luo Fei's eyes that were spitting fire, but when the drawing was fully unfolded, Hua Yingxiu's eyes flashed with a hint of eagerness!
fan !
Hua Yingxiu never imagined that what Tang Zheng was going to cast was actually a fan!
"When I first saw this blueprint, I felt the same as you did." Lu Huang patted the shoulders of the two juniors, Luo Fei and Hua Yingxiu. "Now, do you know why I sealed this blueprint?"
"Exquisite!" Hua Yingxiu nodded.
"The structure is so ingenious..." Luo Fei's face was almost stuck to the paper.
Lu Huang and Tang Zheng already knew every detail of the blueprint, so they handed it over to Luo Fei and Hua Yingxiu to look at.
Although Tang Zheng's fan dagger is only the size of a folding fan, it contains a lot of materials.
If Lu Huang were to process the materials alone, it would take at least three or four days.
However, now that they have such a luxurious casting lineup, they certainly won't let Lu Huang handle it alone and let the others just watch.
"I'm not good at weaving. So, I'll let Miss Xiu'er handle all the materials for the Red Spider Golden Silk, the Fire-Quying Silk, and these thirteen kinds of silk threads. How do you think?" Lu Huang began to divide the work.
"Yes." After Hua Yingxiu took the materials, she carefully looked at the design drawings to determine the quantity and purpose of each material.
"Luo Fei, you will process the thirty-nine kinds of ores needed to make up nine of the fourteen fan ribs. Be careful to control the amount of materials. Otherwise, the finished products after entering the furnace will be longer or shorter, and the final assembled fan..." Lu Huang did not say anything else.
The amount of materials used was not accurately controlled, which was a problem exposed by Luo Fei in the last fight.
Lu Huang did not shy away from this point, but instead handed the ore processing directly to Luo Fei.
Although Lu Huang did not finish his words, the image of the fourteen uneven fan ribs flashed through Luo Fei's mind and he shook his head violently - if they really cast something like that, it would definitely be a stain on their lives.
"What about me?" Tang Zheng looked at the simplest materials.
"You, come with me to crush the Fu Bi Broken Stone!" Lu Huang said something that Tang Zheng did not expect.
Lu Huang did not let him touch simpler materials, but asked him to deal with the Fu Bi Broken Chen Stone!
Tang Zheng's heartbeat quickened: "But, I don't know how to suppress..."
Although Tang Zheng knew what pressed essence was, he only "knew" it and had never done it. After all, most of what he learned about casting from Ban Yiluo was just theory.
"Pressing is the basic technique for extracting stone. It's not difficult." Lu Huang picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into Tang Zheng's hand. "It's because you don't know how to do it that you need to learn it!"
"You mean... now?" Tang Zheng finally understood what Lu Huang meant. Lu Huang actually wanted him to learn and use it immediately!
