Chapter 328 – [Isn’t It Wrong to Seek an Encounter in Moorim?]
When I teach Seon-i how to cook, I have no choice but to follow the principle of being a noble family.
In fact, to be honest, it was no different than putting it together. However, it is an unavoidable way to restore the honor of Gukharu.
“It’s only natural that I’ll win when I step out, and there’s enough words to say Mimi!”
“I’ll have to give it a try…”
“I’ll teach you something fun, so try it.”
The nang-a-yusu that I told Seon-i is a martial art that values flow. If so, in order to understand the flow, you have no choice but to gradually increase the level of difficulty from a low level.
I returned to the inn and started training with Seon in front of the private room behind the inn.
Traditionally, cooking begins with adjusting the fire.
“Now, what is this?”
“It’s a bonfire.”
“Yes, if you’ve smoked in the mountains, can you guess? But the concept of fire is quite helpful for training.”
If it were Zion, fire would emit light and heat through an oxidation reaction… He would have said something roughly like that. Well, that’s true under the laws of physics.
However, when you light something called fire, you will often have the experience of seeing dust or ashes flying into the sky. It’s just like the principle of a hot air balloon, that hot air goes up, but it’s a bit different in terms of concept.
This world eventually cycles.
Even if you just look at water, groundwater springs up and becomes a stream and river, flows out to the sea, and is filtered by soil to become groundwater again.
Like the law of conservation of mass, it means that only the form changes in the end, but the total amount does not change. And the theory that was completed based on this is the theory of circulation of the spirit emperor.
This is an area that honestly doesn’t sit well with me. In the first place, since Youngje is a Nature Lord who sublimated the concept of nature, he realizes the cycle of reason there and shows extreme efficiency and energy recovery, which is opposite to Infinity Force Core.
Besides, the basis of covetous immeasurable qigong is not the theory of circulation, but the theory of the origin of the will…
Among the special moves I have, the Deungkwon series, such as Hungjebungkwon (凶帝崩拳), Amjebungkwon (暗帝崩拳), Nookjebungkwon (雷帝崩拳), etc., Are also based on the theory of will. Since everything in the world is based on will, it means that anything can be done if there is will.
In other words, all kinds of superpowers and energies also have a will when they eventually ride up, and that is why they can do anything if handled well.
……… How hard did you look at this theory so that I will be stronger to be stronger.
Anyway, the Infinity Force Core is the same principle. As long as they are alive, their will exists, and based on that will, they are converted into other abilities and created. So, it has an output that is close to infinite.
“It’s good to see the flow of fire. If you’ve watched a bonfire, feel the heat and wind that rises as the fire rises and try to understand the flow. It’s important to understand the flow not visually, but sensuously.”
“Ah! That sounds like fun!”
“I’m glad”
Seon showed interest in training. That was a good sign.
In the first place, the most important thing in cooking is fire. Especially when it comes to Chinese food, it was important to handle fire as if there was no taste of fire for nothing.
Besides, there are no gas stoves or anything like that in this day and age. Fire control is entirely up to the cook, so if you can’t handle the fire, you’re out of luck.
If you look at people who can’t cook, they have something in common. I don’t know about medicine. Even if you have to boil it for a long time, it will burn and ruin because you just boil it over high heat! Aaaaa! Get out of the kitchen right now you bastards from the abyss!!!!!
“Mister, why is your face so angry?”
“Huh? Ah… People who can’t cook for a long time are somehow like that. They may not be able to, but there are still some hurdles. The level of poison cooking is really a bit…”
A person’s value is not evaluated by cooking, but still, as long as the side job is a cook, he hates those with poison cooking abilities that can only be found in fiction.
I don’t say much when I teach cooking for a while, but to such a person, Mr. Ramsay Thunder possesses and seems to say something like ‘Your cooking is so toxic that it smells like almonds like cyanide!!!!’
“Oh, I’ll work hard!!!!!!”
“Huh? Oh, yes”
As Suni watched the irregular dance of flames rise, she pondered something. Reach out her hand and feel the heat of her campfire and feel it.
Then she suddenly looked not at the fire, but at the sky above it, she said.
“Ah! Heat doesn’t just happen, it goes up!”
“…….”
Hot rises. As I said earlier, it is obvious information that any modern earthling who knows something like a hot air balloon knows, but in ancient China, science was not developed, so it is information that only intellectuals do not know.
I didn’t teach it either, but Seon learned it by himself. It’s a terrifying talent the more you think about it.
“Remember the flow of fire. It’s irregular, but if you remember the flow itself, you won’t be afraid of fire.”
The reason animals are afraid of fire is because they are afraid of its heat and light. However, humans came to use it and walked a separate path from animals.
It is the same now. If you remember the flow of heat and figure out how to circumvent that flow through nang-a-yusu… Even if you put your hand right on top of the fire, it will never be hot. It is said that unless you put your hand in the middle of the fire, you will not get burned.
And that means that as a chef, you will have the greatest merit. As a Moorim person, it is said that he has an advantage over those who use fire or heat.
“I think I know what you mean, uncle.”
“Yes? Then how about this?”
I secretly spewed out a faint flame and blew it at Seon. At most, it had the heat of hot air, but it was a kind of exhilaration that could be identified as artificial.
I even added color on purpose to make it visible. If it hadn’t been for that, I wouldn’t have even seen the haze that is characteristic of high fever.
“Hot!”
After adopting the posture of Nang-A-Yoo-Soo, Seon-E caught the air bullet I flew with his palm, wrapped it around it, twisted its direction, and sent it up into the sky.
If I had seriously blown it, I wouldn’t have been able to do that, but I would have hit Seon-i directly, but in the first place, that was not the purpose, but to confirm Seon-i’s enlightenment. If you just realized the point, that’s it.
“You seem to have understood it. It seems that Nang-Ayu-Soo has also been awakened.”
“Yes!”
Even at the point where Nang-A-Yoo-Soo is barely enlightened, Seon-i has attained enlightenment at the level of a first-class samurai. If only the inner strength and physical ability were supported, the peak master could be placed in front of his eyes.
However, those two things cannot be obtained without effort and time. I can infuse my energy, but that doesn’t mean anything.
“Next, learn how to handle the wok”
“Isn’t that a full-fledged dish?”
“I think it’s training the wrist. Because nang-a-yusu values flow anyway, it’s easier to use when the movement between joints is trained.”
“Yes!”
It feels like raising a daughter for the first time in a while.
Ye-jin is a high school student, and since she was born in the modern world, her education and knowledge are sufficient, so there are not many things I can take care of, but Seon-i teaches her even martial arts.
Besides, she was also a real bloodline, so she didn’t have that feeling all the more.
In any case, the heavy wok brought to the inn seemed quite difficult for a child to lift, but Seon-i is also a Moorim person who has mastered Nae-gigong. Besides, if she’s a talented cook, her handicap should be that much.
“Ugh, it’s heavy!”
“You have to be able to wield that much to become a cook.”
“I’m not going to be a cook… I’m going to be a Moorim person…”
“Will a Moorim person not eat? She will stay overnight in the mountains later and there will be many such things, but will she live without a meal? I don’t know anything else, but I need to have basic housekeeping skills so that I can become a Moorim later.”
“Okay?”
“I know because I’ve been through it”
In this world, I lived in a normal shop, but I didn’t live as a Moorim person. It’s almost because it’s a reincarnation of a relatively long time ago.
Of course, even at that time, even the Murim people did not just eat knives and live. It was because the main job was a cook and the side job was a Moorim person.
Even transcendentalists have at least one or two skills to learn so that they don’t starve to death, so cooking is inseparable from me.
I put a handful of sand in the wok and held it out to Seon.
“Let’s swing it a thousand times.”
“Ex”
Don’t worry, I’ll take care of you before you go out.

Cooking is a surprisingly demanding job. Delicacy is necessary, but unless you’re just trying to make a high-end dish, you don’t need that much.
If it’s not enough to season it anyway, you can add it, and if you have too much, you can add water. If you’re really making a dish that requires more hands than the palm of your hand, you have to calculate and add half a spoonful of salt, but you can just do it in a pinch.
Unless you have a sense of taste, just a handful of salt! A handful of sugar! Would you season it with a fist ball like that?
“There’s only one dish you’re going to cook anyway. You just have to work really hard to make it, so don’t be too pressured.”
“Is that the mapo tofu of Gukharu you mentioned?”
“Have you ever eaten?”
“Hmm… Back then, I was young and said that if I ate spicy food, I would get in trouble, so I only ate it once or twice.”
“But”
Sichuan cuisine is spicy and pungent. Even an adult man goes to the bathroom and goes through a lot of trouble if he eats spicy food wrong, but what about a child? So the other day I came to a guesthouse and Seon ordered something other than spicy.
It would be better now, but at that time, Seon-i would have been five or six years old. If you feed such a kid the authentic mapo tofu, it’s on the level of abuse.
“It may be more of an excuse, but the reason I am teaching you to cook is to look at the meaning inside rather than the outside.”
“Tofu?”
“No, it’s called mapo tofu, so it’s not tofu.”
To me, money is not very valuable. When you reincarnate, the accumulated goods will eventually disappear, and it is good to have it, but there is no problem in living without it.
Then why did I take up cooking and selling as a cook?
The answer is that the person who eats is important.
“It’s the same with martial arts. It’s not all bad martial arts, and not all martial arts are good. Hmm, I saw a metaphor somewhere, but what was it…”
I remembered what a mother who devoted herself to teaching a child with Asperger’s Syndrome said in a movie.
If I had to localize it to make it easier for Seon to understand…
“If someone hit you, is that person a rightist, a sapper, a black sword, or a magician?”
“You don’t know until you check it, right?”
“Isn’t it? In the end, it’s not the social shell that does the good or the bad, it’s the doer. In other words, it’s the content, and that’s the meaning.”
Just as I don’t treat Hibiki as Shuten just because I have the same soul, the important thing is the content. In other words, you have to think about the meaning contained in it.
“You have to think about Gukharu’s mapo tofu. Why did you make it that way, it could have been more delicious, but why did you make it that way? Learning martial arts isn’t called studying for nothing.”
Rapid growth has side effects.
Yang Yoon-chae, who is in charge of the current host of Guk Haru, is also of that type. If she is talented and has gained experience, she becomes self-righteous, not proud of her skills.
It wouldn’t be so good if Sunie did that. Because I have a unique personality in my family, even if the worst doesn’t happen, I might become a psychopath like me who doesn’t care about people other than my acquaintances.
Originally, parents don’t want their children to resemble their bad side… That’s no different for me.
“Always think deeply and have an attitude of worrying about whether there is something hidden there. It will be the driving force for your growth.”
“Yes!”
I bought the ingredients to show you how to make it once. You have to see it once to make it accordingly.
It’s good to make tofu by hand from scratch, but this time I decided to use a ready-made product. You can make it the day before the competition, so let’s use this for practice.
“Huh? But where’s the meat? Mapo tofu will contain meat, too.”
“Gukharu’s mapo tofu doesn’t contain meat”
For reference, it’s not really a vegan menu or anything like that. The meat itself doesn’t go in, but it doesn’t mean that there is no meat oil.
“But isn’t it like minced meat in mapo tofu?”
“It’s only the pattern, it’s meat”
By the way, those who have seen the King of Cooking Biryong in their childhood will have a rough guess. The reason I made it in the first place was to imitate it.
The reasons for making it are different.
