Making soup requires fewer steps, but Song put the cut radishes and ribs into the casserole, covered the ingredients with cold water, thought about it, and added a small handful of Jiang Yaozhu. Scallops are somewhat similar to scallops, but the taste is saltier and fresher, and the shape is flatter and larger. However, they both have a finishing touch in the light soup.
After placing the ingredients, Song Que moved the casserole and the stove in front of Xiao Shan and started making soup.
With the previous incident of cutting carrots, Xiao Shan naturally knew that he had done it deliberately to show him, and he stared angrily. Song Quequan pretended to be invisible, holding a small fan to fan the fire from time to time. When making soup, use strong fire first and then slow fire. Mastering the heat is the most important thing. Whether this home-cooked dish can have a refined taste depends on this step.

Song Que's little fan fanned freely and rhythmically.
Xiao Shan really couldn't bear to be ignored like this, but he was covered in injuries. Although he couldn't die, he couldn't move even if he wanted to. He could only attract Song Que's attention through various small movements.
Song Qing listened to Xiao Shan coughing violently for a while and singing a ditty for a while. His brows couldn't help but twitched, and he suddenly got something to think about: "Where did you learn this ditty?"
Xiao Shan was stunned for a moment. He had just tried his best to attract Song Que by talking to him, but he didn't even notice that he sang this little song. When Song Que asked him, he felt sad at first, and then said happily again. : "My master taught me, how do you like it? Does it sound good?"
Song Qing smiled at him and said calmly: "Lewd words and beautiful songs."
Xiao Shan was angry at first, but then he thought about it. According to his old man's personality, the tune he often hums might actually be a tune by Wu Nong that he heard in some Goulan Courtyard. After thinking about it, Xiao Shan felt a little short of breath at first, and then found it funny, and burst into laughter, with tears bursting out of his eyes. He wanted to cover his eyes with the back of his hand, but he couldn't even lift his arm, so he had to give up.
Fortunately, Song Que didn't stare at him, let alone ask him why he was crying. Xiao Shan cried for a while and then stopped. Instead of gnashing his teeth at Song Que as he did at first, he said, "You talk to me. How boring am I sitting here alone?"
Song Que kept fanning his hands. After hearing what he said, he asked: "You are so good, how could you think of coming to me?"
Xiao Shan glanced at Song Que strangely and asked, "Don't you know how famous you are?"
Song Qiao raised his eyebrows. He just didn't take this matter to heart. After hearing what Xiao Shan said, he opened the system page and looked at the progress bar and found that he was indeed famous.
Xiao Shan said there: "It has been three thousand years, and no one has ascended in the world of cultivation. There are all kinds of reasons, but they just can't solve the problem. You can't hide the abnormality in front of Miaochong Mountain, although I don't know if you are. You’ve really ascended, but I’m not the only one who wants to find you.”
Song Que stopped holding the fan in his hand and didn't know what he was thinking.
Xiao Shan continued: "Having said that, you might as well satisfy my curiosity. Have you really ascended? Why can you still stay in the mortal world? Doesn't it mean that powerful people will be suppressed by their realm when they come down to earth? And you Why did you ascend all of a sudden? I heard that that day you had just completely abolished your cultivation and was expelled from the master. Does it mean that anyone who wants to ascend must first abolish his cultivation?"
Xiao Shan suddenly became extremely talkative, but Song was speechless. He turned down the heat of the soup and slowly simmered the radish and ribs inside. Both ribs and radishes are foods that can withstand cooking. The more they are simmered, the more the meaty flavor in the ribs will be immersed in the soup and radish. The radish also absorbs the soup and gravy tirelessly, making the oily soup gurgling. Bubbly. Just by listening to the sound, you can predict what a delicious pot of soup this is.
The next step was simply simmering over low heat, without Song Que keeping a close eye on it. Song Que then put the small fan aside and began to talk to Xiao Shan seriously: "You have too many questions, which one do you want me to talk about first?"
Xiao Shan didn't have time to think about it before giving an answer, but Song Que took the initiative and said: "Forget it, I'll just say whatever I want. You asked me if I ascended? Yes, no. There was indeed fairy music playing that day, and the immortals came to greet me, and I almost ascended. .The reason why I didn’t really become an immortal is because I didn’t want to. And in order to avoid accidentally floating up to the sky and becoming an immortal, I stayed in the most popular place in the world and became a cook, just to get some of these delicacies. Use the fireworks in this world to gain a firm foothold in this world.”
Xiao Shan asked if he had asked. He never thought that Song Que would really tell him so generously. After hearing such a long paragraph, he didn't know whether to believe it or not. But Song Qiu's words were really irritating. Others wanted to ascend and break their heads, but it was better for him to say that he didn't want to become an immortal, and then stay in this place and cook for people all day long. Even if Xiao Shan is a man of great courage, he can't stand what Song Que said at this moment. He endured it again and again, and finally said in a good voice: "Then what level are you at now? Overcoming the tribulation?"
Xiao Shan considered himself to be of a good level, but he was completely beaten in front of Song Que, so he never forgot about Song Que's strength.
Song Que glanced at him and said, "I'm afraid I'll hurt you if I tell you."
Xiao Shan said: "I'm not afraid of blows, just say it."
Song Que said: "There is a difference between immortals and mortals. My immortal bones have been molded and my immortal body has been completed. I am not the same as a cultivator."
Xiao Shan was a little unconvinced when he heard this, and said: "Cultivators are not ordinary mortals. They should be the closest to gods. How can they be different from gods?"
Song Que looked at the charcoal fire, suddenly smiled, and said: "I once worked as a cultivator, and because I gave up my cultivation and became a mortal, I almost ascended in the end, so I thought about this question. Have you heard of the carp leaping over the dragon gate? ?”
Xiao Shan nodded naturally.
Song Que added: "In the Western Han Dynasty, several people ascended to the immortal world in a day. Then, I don't know when the theory of cultivating the body in the mortal body suddenly emerged. Cultivators ran rampant, but no one ascended to the immortal world anymore. Am I wrong?"
Xiao Shan didn't know what the connection was between the two things, but after hearing what Song said, he subconsciously frowned. He still remembered Song Que's question and said, "That's right."
Song Que said: "Since ancient times, immortal cultivators have cultivated their minds and done good deeds, accumulated merit, and then achieved a leap in racial identity. However, this leap is also justified. Just like a carp can become a dragon, and no matter how good a person accumulates and becomes virtuous, it will not It is impossible to transform into a dragon in a blink of an eye. However, cultivators forcefully draw a line between themselves and mortals and become a separate category. Instead of accumulating merit, they blindly seek physical strength and use force to determine Taoist cultivation. Realm. How can you become an immortal through this path after deviating from your original intention of cultivating immortality?"
Song Que's words were earth-shattering. Xiao Shan felt as if he was struck by lightning after hearing this. He was unwilling to accept this conclusion from the bottom of his heart and tried to argue: "But the more cultivators practice, the more they can fly in the clouds and mist. They can do what ordinary people can't. They are obviously infinite." How can you be doing useless work on the way to get closer to a true immortal?"
Song Que fanned himself in front of the casserole and smelled the smell coming out of the casserole. The meaty aroma of the ribs was suppressed by the radish, not too greasy, and had just the right amount of fragrance. Coupled with the few scallops thrown into the soup, A little bit of the unique freshness of seafood immediately enriches the taste of the soup. It's not enough time to stew. If you simmer for a while, the flavors in the soup can blend together. You have me, and I have you. When you take a sip, the rich aroma of the ribs, the sweetness of the radish, and the deliciousness of the scallops are all in it. They are rich in layers and complement each other.
Song Que said calmly: "At what age did you start practicing cultivation?"
Xiao Shan obviously has good spiritual roots, and according to Song Que's understanding of these major cultivation sects, children with such excellent talents are usually admitted to the sect at the age of five or six, and then trained step by step according to the usual methods. big.
Xiaoshan's answer was as expected: "Five years old."
Song Que said: "You went up the mountain at the age of five, do you understand the world?"
Xiao Shan choked and said: "If you say that I am obsessed with practice and unreasonable, you are wrong. There are many secret thoughts in the world of cultivation. Even if I don't kill people and steal goods, I still have to guard against others killing people and stealing goods. They are not just idiots who only know how to practice. The intrigues among cultivators are no less than those in the mortal world."
After hearing this, Song Que sneered twice and asked: "If you have these messy thoughts all day long, then why are cultivators more likely to become immortals than mortals, just because they have stronger bodies?"
Xiao Shan was speechless and choked for a moment.
Song Que continued: "Furthermore, cultivators attach great importance to improving their cultivation. Whenever there is any treasure from heaven and earth, they have to fight for it. The entire process of cultivation is inseparable from the word struggle. Although mortals in the world They also pursue profit, but compared with you, they pale into insignificance. Although the relationship between husband and wife, flesh and blood, and the relationship between master and disciple, although people in cultivation have it, it is difficult to say whether it can surpass the mortal world. What you call joining the world is completely different. The only thing that has completely penetrated is the word "fight", so there is no need to cultivate one's mind! What you seek in cultivation is not immortality, but immortality."
Xiao Shan was completely shocked by Song Que, and sat on the ground silently, rethinking the Tao he had insisted on for so long.
Song Que fanned himself again and smelled the aroma of the soup as usual. Frequently opening the lid of the pot will cause oil to leak out of the soup, losing its deliciousness, causing all the fat in the meat to dissipate, and the cooked ribs to be dry and woody. Song Ke always tried his best to avoid opening the lid while stewing, and only judged how well the soup was simmering by smelling it. According to Song Que's experience, the soup was almost ready, with only the last bit left, so Song Que gave some of his energy to the severely hit Xiao Shan and said: "There are some things that you can't figure out if you think about it right now. Maybe. After ten days and a half, you will have an epiphany when you suddenly remember it."
Xiao Shan glanced at Song Que, with a confused look on his face. Song was a little helpless and couldn't let go, so he changed the subject and said, "Why do you want to become an immortal?"
This topic successfully aroused Xiaoshan's interest, and his previously blank eyes lit up again. He seemed to be recalling something: "It was a long time ago. I didn't have a mother when I was born, and my father was there when I was five years old." I also died when I was young. I lost both my parents and had no uncle to protect me. I almost starved to death, but my master happened to pass by and saved me. When I first went up the mountain, I was very timid and cried all day and night looking for my father. Master It was also his first time to take on a disciple. He didn’t have a child and didn’t know how to take care of me, so he came to chat with me when I was crying. The master asked me why I was crying, and I said I wanted to find my father. The master told me that I My father is dead, and when people die, they go to heaven. I stopped crying and asked the master how to go to heaven. The master told me that I can go to heaven if I become an immortal through cultivation. From then on, I followed the master to practice honestly. Seeing that he was careless and went to brothels all day long, I still supervised him seriously. Later, when he died, before he died, he treated me like a child and coaxed me, saying that he had gone to heaven."
