The next , Lu Anran did not relax and laze about just because it was the holidays Instead, she woke up earlier than normal and personally cooked a sumptuous breakfast for Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle to eat before leaving
It was obvious that Lu Family's Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle had never expected that Lu Anran was so good at cooking The porridge was soft and sticky and s this kind of fragrant and glutinous porridge The 4 side dishes were also unique, not only Lu Fa today were all astonished by Lu Anran's skill at cooking, but also Lu Jianhao's eyes that gleaain, he was convinced that his decision was right
After sending off Lu Family's 2 uncles, Lu Jianhao called Lu Anran to his study rooed as before and the crystal snow globe that Lu Anran sent to Lu Jianhao was still displayed on his table
Lu Jianhao let Lu Anran sit at one side to rest and then stood in front of his bookshelves and started searching After a while, he pulled out a thin thread-bound ancient book The pages on the side were yellowing and looked very old, but the book cover was protected very well Lu Jianhao handed this book to Lu Anran
Lu Anran received the book with both hands and read the title written in official script1 ”Tao Te Ching2?”
”That's right” Lu Jianhao said, ”starting from today Grandpa will officially impart to you the Lu Fa relate to Lu Fa confused This Tao Te Ching she knows and heard about before, but was unable to understand how both of them relate to each other
”Hoell do you understand Tao Te Ching?” Lu Jianhao looked at Lu Anran and asked, as he sat on his huge leather chair behind his table
”Tao Te Ching ritten by Lao Tzu during the period of Spring and Autumn, and mainly talks about… Morality?” Lu Anran has only heard about Tao Te Ching, but if he wants her to present her knowledge on it, she would be hard-pressed to continue anything beyond that In her previous lifetinorant and incoe is only atwas too deep and profound for her to understand
”You're half right” Lu Jianhao said ”This Taoist Scripture is indeed preaching 'morality' and 'virtue', but it not the type ofof Within ', there is the way of cosmic, the way of nature, and also the way of individual cultivation, in short practicing Taoisrity, but instead is a special world outlook It is awith people that ateaches people the method of cultivation, where 'virtue' is the foundation and 'her” Lu Jianhao orried that Lu Anran did not understand because of her young age and so he stop and asked, ”do you understand what I'?”
”I understand, but Grandpa, e are doing is cooking, and not cultivating to…attain immortality, isn't this learned by people ish to cultivate and attain immortality?” Lu Anran understood the relation between 'morality' and 'virtue', but she still does not understand why did Lu Jianhao take out Tao Te Ching for, is it because he wants to teach her the ethics on how to be a person?
”Morality is the foundation of all things and it's also the source of respect in the world” Lu Jianhao explained, ”The creator of Lu Fanan Mountains, after researching and refining according to Taoism practices, the quintessence of Lu Faeneration to generation Every generation of Lu Family disciple is required to co by heart” Lu Jianhao let out a sigh ”Ai…it's such a pity that nowadays the entire world has changed and people's heart has also changed”
”The essence of Lu Family's cuisine is morality?” Lu Anran repeated Lu Jianhao's words, ”s…”
”That's right, Anran, what Lu Fainal flavour of the ingredients” Lu Jianhao said, ”the seasoning and fire are all used to redients, and at the same time the flavour of the fire and the unique taste of the seasonings should also complement each other They can never interfere with one another but can integrate into each other The pros and cons in this relationshi+p is so you are required to consider yourself and to do it perfectly without any mistakes! This redients, it is only when you truly understand the ingredients, that you can cook them and become a real chef ”
”All of the flavours must complement each other, they cannot be in conflict with one another, but ether” Lu Anran frowned, this sounds very hard Every kind of ingredients have their own flavour and to put the ingredients together, ensure that the flavours coredients after cooking theether It was indeed a very difficult matter
”The main point here is one word ”realization”” Lu Jianhao pointed towards the Tao Te Ching book in Lu Anran's hand once again and said ”Of course, the ive you 5 days to ht Grandpa” Lu Anran nodded
