A day passed in the blink of an eye. Usually, after dinner, Xia Gang would leave without a single one left. But today, everyone who came for dinner was lying on the table, clutching their stomachs. Their faces were distorted, and they moaned in pain.
"Chef Knife! What's wrong with you today! This bun is making my stomach hurt!”
"I'm sorry. Maybe there's a problem with the steaming today, but it's impossible for my stomach to hurt.! Wait here, I'll go take a look at the back!”Facing everyone's gaze, Youren could only nod and bow with an apologetic smile on his face. Then, he went into the kitchen.
At this moment, Ye Xuan was lying on the stove and having a sweet dream. As she had steamed dozens of baskets of buns before, coupled with the fact that she could not control the fire attribute essence Qi, Ye Xuan was in a state of overwork. As soon as she closed her eyes, she fell directly on the stove.
"Ye Xuan!" Suddenly, a thunderous roar came from the door. Ye Xuan was so frightened that she immediately opened her eyes. Her feet lost their balance and she fell to the ground. Ye Xuan rubbed her eyes and saw a fat figure standing at the door, staring at her angrily. That figure was none other than Angry Blade.
"F * ck, Uncle Wandering Blade, you didn't have to shout my name so loudly.”
You Ren shot forward and grabbed Ye Xuan's collar, lifting her up into the air. He shouted,""Look at what you've done! Your steamed buns are giving everyone diarrhea! Explain to me clearly what exactly happened!”
"How could this be!" Ye Xuan was shocked. He thought that he had steamed it seriously enough, but who knew that it actually made everyone have diarrhea.
"Look, your bun isn't steamed at all!”You Ren walked to the stove and opened the lid of a steamer. When he found that it was filled with warm and stiff buns, he could not help but get angry again." Aren't your buns steamed for too short a time? Normally, steamed buns only need half an incense's time to be steamed, but this was obviously a bun that had not been steamed for long! Don't tell me you can't even wait for an hour!”
"It can't be, Uncle Youren. I think I've already steamed it seriously enough. It's only a little bit short of being cooked. It can't be as exaggerated as you say, right?”
Pa!
As soon as he finished speaking, a slap landed squarely on Ye Xuan's head, causing him to shrink his neck.
"Don't quibble! The truth was right in front of him. If he was not familiar with her, he was not familiar with her! If a man doesn't even dare to admit what he has done, what else can he do in the future?”You Ren pointed at Ye Xuan's nose and shouted sternly," Do you really think you're serious? Pah! Look at what you steamed. Also, don't you understand that you have to put in your feelings to steam buns?”
"I…I understand."”
"No, you don't understand! Did you know? A delicious bun's life goal is to bring us unforgettable delicacies and the joy of enjoying food. However, its lofty goal has now been destroyed because of your carelessness!”The more You Ren spoke, the more agitated he became. He grabbed Ye Xuan's ear, causing the latter's face to twist." Tell me yourself, can your actions be worthy of this delicious bun?" Ah!"
Perhaps it was because of You Ren's words that Ye Xuan was moved, but the latter suddenly held You Ren's hand and said seriously,"Uncle Youren, after listening to your words, I really understand now! I promise that I will steam it well in the future! He would definitely work hard to achieve this Steamed Bun's life goal!”
You Ren looked at Ye Xuan's serious expression and his eyes revealed a trace of gratification. He said,""That's the right attitude! Ye Xuan, with this realization, continue to work hard to steam buns!”
"Yes, sir!" After Ye Xuan finished speaking, she immediately began to gather Qi with both hands and injected fire elemental Qi into the stove. The cold bun suddenly began to smoke.
"No, Ye Xuan, the fire is too small. Don't be shy like a woman, show your passion! Work harder!" Wandering Blade shouted from the side.
"Ha!" Hearing You Ren's words, Ye Xuan seemed to have taken a stimulant. She instantly increased the output of the fire attribute Qi. The intensity of the flame suddenly increased by several times. The temperature of the entire room seemed to be rising at this moment.
The fire elemental energy in this kid's body was really extraordinary pure! If he could really control it well, his future would be limitless. Youren thought to himself. Suddenly, he smelled a burning smell. He turned around and saw the fire elemental Qi burning up from the bottom like before. The steamed bun cage began to emit sparks.
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm angry, I'm angry!”You Ren shouted anxiously at the side, but it was too late. The fire elemental Qi had already rushed up and burned the entire steamed bun cage into ashes in two seconds.
You Ren looked embarrassed.”
Ye Xuan lowered her head in shame." I'm sorry, Uncle Youren. I failed again."”
You Ren patted his shoulder and comforted him,""Don't worry, you're still a rookie when it comes to controlling fire elemental qi. The purity of the elemental qi essence in your body is too high. Since you're so hardworking, I'll teach you some effective ways to steam buns.”
"I believe your teacher, Shan Guiyao, has already told you that Primordial Qi is extracted from the essence of all living things. Its usage is flexible and changeable. The higher the purity of Primordial Qi, the more difficult it is to control it. You are now releasing your primordial qi into the stove and steaming it using the more traditional method. However, since this method is not very suitable for you, I have decided to teach you a new method. That is to circle the fire elemental qi around the steamer and transfer the heat from the outside to the inside, so that the bun can be heated more evenly. I dare to guarantee that the efficiency of steaming buns like this is definitely higher than yours!”
"I see. Alright, I'll give it a try.”Ye Xuan's hands began to gather fire elemental qi again, releasing it onto the steamer basket. Several ring-shaped flames formed around the steamer basket, like fire snakes coiled on a pillar, constantly transmitting heat from the outside to the inside. For an hour, Ye Xuan tried her best to control the amount of Primordial Qi, afraid that she would accidentally add more fire and burn the bun.
"Good, good! Ye Xuan, just control the intensity of the flames like this. If you persist a little longer, it will be cooked soon!”Youren's eyes were filled with excitement. After steaming it so many times, he finally succeeded once.
However, the happiness was only temporary. Ye Xuan was slightly distracted by You Ren's words. As a result, she inadvertently increased the flame a little. The buns were still burned into a pile of powder like before, scattered on the stove like ants.
"F * ck, I failed again!" Ye Xuan really wanted to curse in her heart. She didn't expect it to be so difficult to steam buns. She was about to succeed, but because of his distraction, she ruined it.
"Why are you looking at me!" You Ren saw Ye Xuan staring at him and shouted," Hurry up and continue steaming!”
······
The next day, Ye Xuan brought a basket of freshly steamed buns to Yang Tian Palace. At this time, Shan Guiyao was in Yang Tian Palace Square guiding Mo Xi and the other two in their training.
"Hey, isn't this Ye Xuan?" Mo Xi looked at the black-robed youth who had suddenly appeared in the square and was a little surprised.
Didn't this guy stop his training and be sent to the canteen to help steam buns? What was he doing in the Yang Heaven Palace at this time?
Hearing Mo Xi's words, Ruobing and Bi Xiao stopped their training.
Ye Xuan ignored their gazes and walked straight over, holding the buns in front of Shan Guiyao, saying,""Teacher, this is the steamed bun I just steamed today. Please have a taste.”
Facing the smiling Ye Xuan, Shan Guiyao was still the same as usual, with a dead fish face, obviously unwilling. However, since he was the one who was going to test Ye Xuan, he had to take responsibility. Therefore, Mountain Ghost Song reached out and took out a bun from the bun cage. He sniffed it and frowned before throwing the bun back to Ye Xuan.
"What the hell are you steaming? It's sour and astringent. It's not up to standard. Go back and continue steaming.”
Although Shan Guiyao's face was as calm as an ancient well, Ye Xuan could hear a trace of disappointment in his words. In fact, he was also very disappointed with the evaluation of Mountain Ghost Song. He had finally succeeded once, but the steamed buns he made were so disgusting. It was really sad.
However, he was not too disappointed. After all, it was his first time succeeding. He was still not very familiar with the control of the fire elemental energy. It was already good that he did not burn the bun into ashes. Everyone had a first time. It didn't matter if he failed. As long as he put in enough effort, he believed that God wouldn't treat him too badly.
The next night, Ye Xuan was in the kitchen, using fire elemental qi to steam buns.
Ye Xuan was considered to have succeeded once, so Youren very " mercifully " added a little more for him and steamed the five baskets of steamed buns at the same time. This was a difficult problem for him, who was not very good at controlling flames.
However, Ye Xuan was not afraid because of this. Instead, she perked up and focused on steaming the five steamers of steaming buns. Ye Xuan released her Primordial Qi with both hands. The Primordial Qi split into five streams and formed five flames surrounding the five bamboo baskets in front of her. At this moment, he carefully controlled the intensity of these five flames. He did not dare to be too big or too small. At the same time, he did not dare to divert his attention. He remembered the lesson from last time. He was about to succeed, but if he failed because of distraction, it would not be fun.
Just like that, Ye Xuan persevered for an hour before stopping the release of Primordial Qi. At this moment, the five steamers of steamed buns were also cooked by him.
"Yo, Ye Xuan, not bad. I remember that you only succeeded once last night, but you're actually so skilled today.”You Ren smiled in relief.
" It's not because I'm familiar with it," Ye Xuan shook her head." It's because I've discovered the benefits of this method."”
"Oh? In that case, why don't you tell me?”
"When I steamed the buns before, I would only inject the Primordial Qi into the stove to heat it up. However, I found that the success rate of this method was really too low. Because I was only heating the bottom of the steamer, and with every bit of my primordial qi that I injected, the flame formed by the primordial qi would become stronger. Therefore, it was very easy to cause the buns to be burned to ashes. " However, Uncle Ranger's method is different. By surrounding the steamer with flames, you can let it transfer heat from the inside out, achieving the effect of uniform heating. The method of injecting primordial qi into the stove to heat up the cage caused the object to be heated unevenly, resulting in the cage burning. By surrounding the cage with flames, the heat could be distributed to every part of the cage rather than being concentrated at one point. I just need to control the fire force well during this period and not let it be too big or too small.”Ye Xuan explained seriously," Moreover, I realized that by using this method to steam buns, my control over the fire elemental qi has become more proficient.”
"That's right. Since you can understand this principle, then you have to persist in it, understand?”
"Yes, sir!"
