Chapter 212 The Difference between Soy Sauce and Making Monsodium Glucose (Chinese)

Here in Taohua Valley, because of the existence of hot springs, the air is particularly humid. The snowflakes penetrate the protective array of Taohua Valley and land on the ground, which also makes Taohua Valley feel strong.△￠,

In the raindrops, a hundred monks and mortals selected walked down the gunboats by fish. When they stood on the land of Peach Blossom Valley, the monks with sharp eyes could see mushrooms growing under many ancient trees. These mushrooms grew very fast. In the morning after the rain, almost in the blink of an eye, they grew into complete plants and opened the umbrella cover in full.

A boy couldn't control his curiosity after all. Everyone was in the team. She jumped and ran to a peach tree, picked a few large mushrooms, ran over happily, presented the mushrooms to Yunduo, and shouted: "City Lord, look, what a beautiful mushroom."

Yun Duo smiled and took the mushrooms, and sighed casually: "Yes, after a rain, the mushrooms in the forest immediately became very dense."

Yun Duo looked relaxed, and the monks also relaxed their postures, and in unison recalled their experience of picking mushrooms in childhood. Yun Duo and others talked for a few words, and he asked leisurely: "Everyone knows that after a heavy rain, many mushrooms will grow in the forest. Has anyone thought about asking why? Why will mushrooms suddenly pop up after the rain?"

Everyone was stunned and subconsciously responded: "Yes, why?"

Yun Duo leisurely explained: "That's because the seeds of mushrooms are spores, and these spores are hidden in the folds of the mushroom's umbrella cover. When the mushrooms dry up, the spores in the umbrella cover are scattered on the ground. Then when they encounter water, the spores will develop again and grow rapidly."

Some people questioned this answer. Some people were amazed, some people ran under the tree to seek verification, and Yunduo and everyone was talking for a while, and he asked again: "Did anyone think of anything?"

Everyone's expressions were very confused. They didn't know what Yun Duo wanted to express, so they looked at Yun Duo blankly.

Yun Duo had to continue, "After the secret of mushroom growth was discovered, one person chose dried mushrooms and soaked the mushrooms in water. He sprayed the soaked water on the culture medium that imitated the growth ingredients of mushrooms. Therefore, the mushroom cultivation technology was born. From then on, people can grow mushrooms in their own living room. Those who came up with this cultivation technology asked another reason and became a rich man from then on."

Some of the monks exclaimed, and some were brought to contemplation by this story. Some people had vaguely guessed what Yun Duo wanted to express, and they waited patiently for Yun Duo to continue to explain.

"I also know that there is a kind of condiment in the world, a dark colored water..."

Someone among the monks blurted out that if the word he said was translated into the same word in Yunduo's memory, it could also be called... "soy sauce".

"As we all know, soy sauce tastes delicious. But why does soy sauce make people feel delicious? Has anyone ever asked why?"

At this time, most monks had already awakened. They stood there, quietly waiting for Yun Duo to give the answer.

"Someone really asked why, and then he found that there are more than twenty kinds of amino acids in nature... Well, don't ask what amino acids are, this is a word I chose casually. Some people say that amino acids ultimately form cells, muscles, organs, etc. Don't delve into this term. The explanation of this word can be a long book.

Okay, let me continue: It is said that there are more than 20 kinds of amino acids in nature, but the only amino acids that the human body cannot absorb from the outside world and synthesize themselves happen to be rich in soy sauce, so people think soy sauce is delicious and tastes particularly delicious.

The person who discovered this secret did not stop the fermentation process after the grain was fermented into soy sauce. He let the soy sauce continue to ferment deeply, and then extracted a high concentration of this umami, well, this amino acid. Since it was fermented from the grain, I will temporarily name it glutamic acid. This umami glutamic acid, after refining and concentrating, the person who found this umami genus named it 'a genus ', some people called it 'MSG'. The discoverer asked more about 'why' and became a rich man since then.

What is the next story? The next story is a bit shameless. After the invention of MSG, people felt that brewing soy sauce was too troublesome and took too long. So some people simply used MSG to blend some color water, so a new style of soy sauce was produced.

From then on, soy sauce that was originally brewed through ancient procedures was no longer called soy sauce, but needed to be defined by a specific word "brewed soy sauce". Only things that were "bleached" with MSG and color water were called "soy sauce".

What’s even more shameless is that when everyone knows the technology of MSG, MSG cannot sell at a high price. Suddenly someone thinks of changing the name of MSG and then selling it at a high price. It’s just like calling ginseng a goblin and Polygonatum. If you change another name, you don’t understand it. For example, someone adds some chemical fragrances and then calls MSG mixed with spices mushroom essence, crab essence, etc., or simply called it ‘chicken, duck, fish and meat essence’. This is not enough. They also want to tell everyone that it’s not good to eat MSG, and it’s correct to eat MSG mixed with chemical fragrances.

Unfortunately, the inventions and creations of the latter two also made the inventors huge profits, and many people became rich because of this. But this 'invention' is not what I want. I think it is useless or even a disaster for technological progress."

The monks heard the discussion, Yun Duo and others recalled for a moment, and then slowly explained: "What is technological progress? When you ask more 'why' in everything and solve this mystery, you will advance technological progress, and you will also be able to succeed and become rich by the way.

Now, Moyun Ridge is trapped in the forest of monsters, and our situation is in danger. Moyun City needs creativity. Moyun City needs more questions. But Moyun City does not need 'color water soy sauce', and does not need to call 'chemical MSG' the progress of invention technology does not come from the latter."

Yun Duo paused for a moment. After everyone was savoring it, he took out the immortal Yuan array from his arms and the sky-slaying urn, leaned over and put it on the ground. At this time, Ding Ling walked up and shouted out the names of the Qi-refining Great Perfection cultivators.

"All the great perfect cultivators of Qi refining will each receive two foundation-building pills. Please take the pill immediately, enter the Heaven-Slaying Urn and the Spirit Gathering Array immediately, and prepare to build the foundation. We will protect the Dharma." Ding Ling paused for a moment and added loudly: "You are all the first batch of selected cultivators. When you are about to build the foundation, think more about what the master said and ask more about why on the road to practice?"

Ding Ling called the "Immortal Yuan Formation" the "Spirit Gathering Array", not deliberately misleading the cultivators... Well, it is Yun Duo who misleads it. He has always claimed to outsiders that his "Immortal Yuan Formation" is a high-level spirit Gathering Array. Su Zhi also believes that it is.

Not everyone understood Yun Duo's words. A confused monk finally couldn't hold it in his mouth and asked, "Shaogu Master, why? Why do you say this to us? We don't understand the affairs of the ordinary world, the creation of the ordinary world..."

Yun Duo smiled: "What I just said was 'innovation'. I'm talking about mushrooms, I'm talking about soy sauce. Don't you know why?...Okay, I'm talking about spiritual talismans now. As we all know, talismans are written on the talisman paper one by one. Why are talismans powerful? Why must talismans be written on the talisman paper or on the skin of monster animals? Is it possible to change the recording method? Can a different carving method be performed? Why can't talismans be performed on other items?

You should all know next, because the next thing is what we did in Yuanluogu. We can carve talismans on magic tools and on spirit stones? We abandoned the way of writing talismans by hand, and the things that can be written can be printed. We printed talismans in batches, not only on magic tools, but also on spirit stones, robes, and various materials we can think of.

Think more about why, why did I see mushrooms growing wildly after the rain, but I didn’t find the secret that mushrooms can be grown. What force prevented my association? Why did I also think soy sauce is delicious, but I didn’t find the secret of MSG? What force prevented my association?

Think clearly about this answer, and you will go from being a mediocre person who is busy and waiting to die to become a creative person. In fact, this world is very simple. Just ask more why, and then discover and explore. As long as you can discover the principles of things, it is a breakthrough. Now, what you need to do is to break through, break through the constraints of original concepts, break through the old traditions and open a new world in front of yourself!”

At the same time, on the other side of the Burial God Plain, in the dense forest where the Immortal Yuan Formation was buried, there were about sixty ordinary people sitting here quietly, staring at the two monks who were meditating and regulating breathing in the clearing ground in the forest, and Zhao Baoer was among them.

I don’t know how long it took, the two middle-aged men walked silently from outside the dense forest. At this moment, the circle of poisonous thorns and nepenthes surrounding the dense forest had already opened several gaps, allowing ordinary people to enter and exit without any harm. Therefore, these two middle-aged men walked through the thorn defense circle that the clouds had to carefully crossed earlier.

These two middle-aged men came into the back without making a sound of speech. They quietly made gestures, and then passed on small porcelain jars to the people around them. The people who got the porcelain jars passed the porcelain jars down one by one until everyone had a porcelain jar in their hands. Finally, everyone tacitly took out the spirit stone marching furnace from the backpack and began to make fire and boil water.

These more than 60 people were the residents of the original Moyun City who were resold to Lan Feng. The monks who sat in the middle of the forest meditated and adjusted their breathing. They were Lan Feng and the meteors of Huangshan Gate... (To be continued...)
