Chapter 348: Contrasting Ke Maomao, does he need "An Actor's Self-cultivation"?
There is no question of whether or not one will continue to read the book after knowing the ending, because Jun Bai is the kind of person who will continue reading the book even after knowing the ending.
Otherwise, the routines of special effects dramas are generally fixed, so who would watch them? You can basically guess the ending.
It is human nature to be full of expectations for the unknown outcome.
Even if you know the outcome, this nature will not disappear.
Because there is not only one path to the ending.
As for whether or not to open the book after knowing the story and the ending...
Knowing the details and the final outcome, doesn't that mean that this person has actually seen it all?
Therefore, Jun Bai has always believed that knowing the ending does not determine whether a person will open the book. People who give up after knowing the ending...even they themselves cannot do this.
Just like those people at the lottery station who say “I won’t win anyway”, but actually go there every day waiting for the prize draw.
But knowing the ending will affect motivation.
Jun Bai has a say in this, because he has watched the fusion of the God King and the King in episode 27 of "Ouyang Sentai Kingger" in advance, so he lost the motivation to follow the show.
I always remember to watch it, and I did catch up at the end.
But it’s obviously unreasonable that it took half a year to finish the Earth chapter of King of Kings!
However, I finished the later chapter of the Unicorn King in one go.
This is what Jun Bai said, "Only when there is expectation can there be motivation."
"If I tell you all the secrets about this statue now, will you still try various methods to explore the truth of the statue like you are doing now?"
Jun Bai looked at Beidou and others and asked.
Beidou shook his head and said:
“If I had known from the beginning that this was not a secret cache containing treasures, but a stone statue of the Kitchen God, I would not have even touched it in the first place.”
"If this matter involves the devil's treasure and there is any damage, someone will be angry with me."
Beidou himself was stunned when he said this.
Ningguang glared at Beidou before speaking:
"If I had known about this in advance, Ningguang would have chosen to place it in a safe place, and after the shrine of the Kitchen God was repaired, I would have placed it there for worship."
Xiangling also said thoughtfully:
"If I knew I would lose the MasterChef competition, I wouldn't quit the competition, but I probably wouldn't put as much effort into polling as I do now."
【Brother Bai is Brother Bai, and his words made everyone think deeply. 】
[Don't think that Brother Bai is always laughing and joking with us. In fact, he has been here before Liyue was founded. He is at least 3,000 years old, so it is normal for him to have some experience. ]
[Taller than Wendy, but most likely the same age as Wendy. ]
[Am I the only one who noticed that Bei Ning was giving out sweets? 】
"Oh, speaking of opinion polls, I almost forgot about the main thing."
Xiangling quickly told Ningguang, Beidou and Keqing about her request, hoping they could give her some advice.
“I see. I thought some earth-shattering event had occurred, which caused the Traveler and Mr. Jun Bai to come to me for help.” Ningguang chuckled.
This was a lie. In fact, when Ningguang saw Xiangling, she knew that everyone came for the Chef Championship.
"Are there any dishes you like?"
"For me, as long as food is refined, simple, pure and delicate, it is a good dish."
Ningguang spoke calmly about the problem.
Translated, it means high-end ingredients.
Only a wealthy woman like Ningguang could use such standard for daily meals.
Beidou and Ningguang are always at odds: "You call this simple?"
Ningguang chuckled and said, "My request can be summarized in four words. Isn't that simple?"
【Redefine simplicity. 】
[It is easy to condense the meaning of words, but it is difficult to do it. 】
[This is really simple, as long as it tastes good! ]
Beidou and Ningguang disagreed: "Your afflictions from the affluence of wealth can all be cured by a trip to the sea."
"For us sailors, we don't have to be so particular. As long as it's fresh and hot, it's fine. It'll be even better if it's spicy."
“As for me…” Keqing thought, then smiled, “Seafood. I really like the seafood caught freshly in Liyue Harbor every day.”
“Seafood, hot dishes, simple and refined…”
Paimon recited the three flavors backwards, then spun them in mid-air, as if he could find inspiration this way:
“It seems like we have nothing in common…”
Iya held his little face in one hand and thought.
But he only knows how to cook simple dishes, and his recipes are not enough for him to think of dishes that meet all requirements. Action Director: Topa But Guoba seems to have thought of it.
It raised its hand and said happily: "?~"
Ying thought about the recipes she knew: "Xian Tiao Qiang takes too long, boiled Chinese cabbage doesn't have seafood, and the nine treasures and nine canopies are too complicated..."
"Among the dishes I know, none of them meet all three conditions at the same time."
Ying learned how to cook these dishes when she was working at Fengdeng Building.
These are all valuable information that Fengdeng Tower never passes on to others. If Ying and Jun Bai weren’t close friends, they wouldn’t be able to learn them.
"The dishes you know, Traveler, are extraordinary." Xiangling was amazed at Ying's collection of recipes.
“But there is one dish that really fits these three keywords.”
Xiangling asked mysteriously, "Ying, have you heard of golden shrimp balls?"
Jun Bai looked at Keqing.
Sure enough, Keqing's facial expression was out of control again, and she was even more excited than when she saw herself.
If Jun Bai remembered correctly, Keqing's heart immediately turned into a groundhog and screamed:
Keqing: (Eh! Yes, it’s my favorite…)
[This expression, ah! Brain Po is so cute! ]
[This is completely different from the previous one...]
[I survived the confrontation with the Marshal and the figurine made by the Emperor, but failed when it came to the golden shrimp.]
[Ah Qing, keep it up. Be more frank in the future. Tsundere has been out of fashion for a long time. ]
[Nonsense, the cute contrast of Keqing is the most charming one! ]
Keqing, do you like golden shrimp balls more than me and the Emperor? Jun Bai laughed secretly.
Well, since I recommended you before I traveled through time, next time you come to Fengdeng Tower, I can take the initiative to give you a plate of golden shrimp balls.
By the way, I'm giving you a copy of "An Actor's Self-cultivation". I think you really need it.
Looking at Keqing's out-of-control appearance, Jun Bai started planning what Lantern Festival gift to give to Keqing this year.
Keqing had no idea that the Marshal was planning a gift for her, and she was concentrating on listening to Xiangling talk about golden shrimp balls.
Golden shrimp balls are a Kung Fu dish.
It has an exquisite appearance and a rich aroma. Although the presentation is simple, the techniques used are very sophisticated.
While meeting the four essentials of Ningguang, it is not only a hot dish but also seafood.
Keqing nodded repeatedly, "That's right, the golden shrimp balls are both beautiful and delicious, and are a very valuable dish."
Jun Bai suddenly said:
"Keqing, do you like golden shrimp balls?"
"Ah? No, that's not the case!"
Keqing quickly denied it. Don't expose your personal hobbies in front of the Marshal!
"Yeah, she likes golden shrimp balls the best."
Unfortunately, I don’t know whether Xiangling didn’t understand Keqing’s resistance or she did it on purpose. In any case, her one sentence confirmed that Keqing liked golden shrimp balls.
Keqing denied it flatly, but no one cared.
After another round of small talk, Xiangling said goodbye:
"Okay~ I have collected the opinions of the three of you. Thank you, I will take them into consideration."
Just as Xiangling was about to lead everyone to leave Yujing Terrace and head to the next stop, Keqing called out to Ying and Paimeng:
"Wait, Traveler, Paimon."
"Do you have any other plans later?"
"I would like to ask you to join me in investigating the matter concerning the statue of the Kitchen God."
