Chapter 990: Chapter 989: Mother Sun Sphere
The woman’s question ca suddenly. Xia Yu, thinking this was so dream, was montarily stunned.
“The sun, a thing?” he instinctively responded, “You an sunlight, right? No matter how you look at it, sunlight is a source of energy, power.”
“Yes indeed, without sunlight, the growth of everything would likely wither and not thrive well.”
The woman spoke softly.
“I believe ‘sunlight’ has a flavor, what do you think?”
“Uh…”
Xia Yu was taken aback.
The thought that ‘sunlight’ has a flavor, based on real-life experience, how could he dare to answer “yes” to such a notion.
This was a challenge to his worldview.
“I an, in cooking, ‘sunlight’ can also be a flavorful seasoning.” The woman, as if reading the shock and bewildernt on Xia Yu’s face, pointed at the bamboo baskets of various levels in front of her, “These dried goods are imbued with ‘sunlight’, giving them a golden hue, called golden ingredients.”
As she spoke, the woman grabbed a mushroom from one of the baskets and extended her hand to Xia Yu.
She finally showed her face directly.
Her fine, thin eyebrows, a face that maintained a sense of line beauty despite its roundness, with slightly parted lips now shimring with sunlight’s gold.
Though she wore simple clothes and skirts, and her black hair was neatly coiled up without any extra adornnts, at first glance, no matter how you looked, she was an extrely ordinary woman, yet under the rays of the sun, she glowed, exuding a sacredness that one dared not profane.
Even though her voice and expression remained gentle.
Xia Yu’s heart skipped a little, the woman smilingly approached him, making him suddenly tense up like a big boy awkward as a shy old bachelor. He felt an extraordinarily warm and soft hand grasping his own.
Then, in his hand, there was the mushroom.
“Go try exploring the ‘sunlight’ stored inside this ingredient, and rember it…” A soft voice carried an indescribable charm, Xia Yu took a small bite out of the sun-dried, seemingly shriveled mushroom.
Hmm?!
His eyes widened instantly.
Strangely, the evidently ‘shrivelled’, ‘dry’ ingredient had a finely textured mouthfeel when chewed.
Now Xia Yu was not rely tongue-tied or having a convulsive mouth; his entire brain was under a blitz.
A tangled ss.
Seeing his expression, the woman’s lips curved into a slight smile: “Sure enough, since you can already handle my ‘Juxia Sauce’, you can taste the flavor of sunlight.”
“Rember this taste…”
Suddenly.
The dream shattered.
Who knows how long it was before Xia Yu threw off the covers and jumped out of bed.
It was probably around noon outside; his biological clock had been fixed for a long ti and didn’t allow for sleeping till midday.
Ugh, he opened the window to let the sunlight fall on his face, Xia Yu, sniffing like a dog looking for a scent, made clear inhaling noises, tried repeatedly over a dozen tis, and finally rubbed his forehead in frustration: “No sll at all!”
Was it after all just a self-imagined dream?
No way!
Recalling the ‘Juxia Sauce’ ntioned before the dream faded, Xia Yu’s gaze shifted dramatically.
A dream, non-dream?
Speaking of it, his inspiration for mastering ‘Juxia Sauce’ also ca from a dream. But thinking back now… Xia Yu was startled to find that perhaps his mory had problems—past dreams, almost forcibly erased, even the woman he saw then, her face replaced by the one from this second dream.
Xia Yu patted his face to perk up, “Sunlight has a taste?”
While heading into the bathroom to wash, he looked at himself in the mirror, muttering to himself.
Suddenly, his thoughts stalled, and the hand holding the toothbrush froze mid-air, in the mirror, a face flushed with inexplicable excitent.
An idea flashed in Xia Yu’s mind.
The taste of… the sun?
Aroma?
Just like…
The other hand rose, vigorously rubbed his nose, though the dream was gone, how co he still felt there was this strange aroma lingering around his nose, like the feeling of laying in bed under a sun-dried quilt that his mother had hung in the courtyard.
Inhaling a deep breath, the warm and fragrant sunlight aroma!
It’s all over my face!
Xia Yu laughed: “…This kind of sentintal mory, unforgettable taste, everyone has it. It’s actually a natural ‘food spirit’, a return to simplicity.”
“And to master such a ‘food spirit’, there’s nothing else but that ultimate source recipe from the Bright Food World!”
Thinking of this, Xia Yu stood dazed in the bathroom for a long ti, forgetting to wash, with a mouth full of toothpaste foam, thoughtfully savoring the dream, letting the mory of ‘sunlight taste’ stay a while longer.
He knew such mories, like an epiphany to a practitioner, ca hard, and if he didn’t seize this chance, he feared he’d struggle to grasp the ‘food spirit of sunlight’.
And sunlight is an essential part of the ‘Mother’s Solar Sphere’ recipe!
…
The airplane engines roared, climbing from the runway into the sky.
On this trip to the Imperial City, Xia Yu’s group had four people. Thanks to the expansion of the main kitchen team, Zhu Qing, Makki, and Eriina weren’t as overwheld with work as before, so Xia Yu thought a bit and brought them along.
In the cabin, however, Xia Yu was checking the treasure chest drop from Huang He, which was quite a delayed reaction.
Besides the golden ‘Divine Hand’ skill card, there was sothing Xia Yu could in no way ignore—
A golden recipe fragnt.
Opening the system’s storage space, two different recipe fragnts occupied the first and second slots respectively, this default arrangent clearly showed the system’s recognition of the recipe’s grade.
‘Demon-breaking Eight Formation’ Fragnt*1.
‘Mother’s Solar Sphere’ Fragnt*1.
The Demon-breaking Eight Formation fragnt, from the task of charging at the young tournant king in the Chinese Realm under the na ‘Demon King’.
And the Mother’s Solar Sphere fragnt was naturally the surprise reward from defeating Huang He.
Recipes, a combination of two!
“Damn it!” Xia Yu couldn’t help but rub his face frantically, “How co at crucial tis, my lucky face doesn’t work? If I had found a Bright source recipe fragnt last ti, this ti I’d have collected all fragnts, achieving the grand feat of synthesizing the ‘Mother’s Solar Sphere’ recipe!”
He had watched ‘Cooking Master Boy’, but comics are comics, reality is reality.
In the world of comics, the cooking details weren’t rich enough, and in reality, if you want to recreate the final dish from the Bright Food World based on so vague mory, it’s practically suicidal.
However.
Clues about recipe drops could be gleaned from these two harvests.
Ascending to be the young tournant king.
Defeating the Dragon Chef, transforming into a dragon henceforth.
No doubt these were two major events, if soone were to write a personal biography of Xia Yu, these two things would certainly be highlighted in his biography.
So.
Where to wager for the remaining recipe fragnts of ‘Mother’s Solar Sphere’?
Xia Yu wholly discarded the ‘Demon-breaking Eight Formation’ aside, ignoring it.
The reason is simple.
Because he had indeed grasped the ‘food spirit of sunlight’, he needed to seize the mont before the mory faded, quickly synthesize the recipe, try his hand while it’s still hot, and through practice, transform a vague trace of food spirit into his own.
“Ding…”
Then the system prompted the task.
