Shir Ali, was in confusion. The food was not as tasty, not as delicious as Dara spoke of. He didn't know one simple secret!
Dara, he was always hungry!
Two months before the end of his stay in India, Dara, presumptuously spent all his money on the purchase of an expensive book! Idiocy, in a foreign country, to spend all the money on a book that you can't even eat!
But, Dara, at times could be an idiot! Then he was very much interested in science. And to a hungry person, any food seems delicious and wonderful!
Well-fed, of course, can be a gourmet, to distinguish tastes, to evaluate the technique of cooking. Savor. Therefore, the assessment of Dar was biased, not objective, but Shir-Ali believed him! And now, he found that his and his cousin's tastes were different.
Their cousin did not understand at all what delicious and exquisite cuisine was!
Why? After all, his grandfather and relatives were from the scientific elite and he was the grandson of the General! Shir-Ali had no idea that the General was a communist to the core. Therefore, he led a very strict lifestyle, was an ascetic and called on all his close people to this. Home tyrant and at work Democrat - "Honu Sher Maydon G'arif".
Therefore, Dara, did not see delicacies, ate ordinary food, like everyone else. He did not understand painting, ballet, theater. Just an ordinary person from the street. He did not know anyone from the elite, although everyone knew his Grandfather.
Grandfather taught him to be modest, he said that this is the best trait of a person. Unlike Dar, Shir-Ali learned culinary techniques, the intricacies of food preparation, understood different tastes, comprehended the science of cooking and learned the culinary Dao!
"Yes, the food in Mossuri and Dehra Dun was not super tasty and what did Dara find here?"
"What gorgeous taste was he talking about?"
"Lots of spices that overpower the taste of food!"
"Dara, a fool, said that spices draw the taste of food to the surface and make the taste itself richer and richer!"
"I haven't found this ?! The spices just make the mouth burn, the guts burn! "
- If you haven't found it, there's nothing to blame!
Shir-Ali, heard a familiar voice behind his back, his cousin.
He quickly turned around and saw no one!
- Well, what are you turning around? I'm not there, but you can hear it!
- I ended up in another world, you won't believe it, of course! -
Stuck there!
- I try different methods, it seems this works, only for voice transmission and some objects.
- While I myself can not return!
- Stretch out your hands, I brought you presents from another world!
"But I don't know if they will retain their properties in ours or not? Maybe they will disappear!
- Come on, put your hands up quickly!
Shir-Ali, goggling in surprise, followed his cousin's advice. A ring with a white stone and a bag of groceries fell into his hands.
- Well, the charge of this gate ends. Until next time!
- I hope I'll come up with something, I'll see you again!
"Bye, cousin!"
"If there is something I can help"?
- Yeah, if I think of it, I will tell you! - Till… The voice disappeared ...
Shir-Ali, directed his psychic will into the ring, there were mountains of crystals of power, crystals of energy, energetic jade, bones with full strength, cores of energy, gold coins of an unknown world, silver ingots, as well as various strange products. Branches of trees, berries, leaves, roots.
With a note from his cousin: "The taste is completely different than you expect! Culinary experiment, try it! I look forward to a great dessert from you "!!!
Shir-Ali, was intrigued by these words. He tasted the berries, and immediately wrinkled from a pungent, tart taste, a wave of bitterness broke through his nasopharynx and tears mixed with electric sparks poured from his eyes, even though he was a cultivator.
Such as when a saw for metal is passed over it. Real fireworks from the eyes! Berries with the taste of horseradish mixed with mustard and the hottest pepper in the world!
"Yes, an unexpected taste!"
"Misleading"!
"Another world? What does not happen in this world "?
"Well, how can we try, leaves" ?!
The leaves were mango-colored, plump, a bit like aloe leaves in thickness and momiji in shape. After taking a bite of one of the leaves, Shir-Ali tasted citrus. The energy immediately spread through his body, his spirit woke up, his eyes began to see with the effect of macro photography.
"It seems that the products of the other world also have a magical power, which is preserved in our world" ?!
"Dara, also a cultivator"?
"I will need to ask him when he will appear again!"
"How can I help him?"
"Can he cope on his own?"
"There is no one to ask anyway" ?!
- There is no one to ask in this world! Only you can ask the Creator for help!
Shir-Ali, heard a voice in his head, cousin. He definitely heard it.
"So, cousin, he can handle it!"
Shir-Ali smiled.
Dara, knew that help would come!
"You don't have to worry about him!"
"Interesting taste, you can beat it in my restaurant"!
"You need to think over the taste and how to make a dessert out of it"!
"To do this, study the healing properties of products, think over their compatibility, so that the magic effect is better"!
Shir-Ali reached out for the branches, making a sharp bite, it tasted like almonds !!!
"Very interesting"!
Eyes, Shir-Ali, shone with a mysterious fire! "Yummy"! He received no instant action or effects. Just almonds, but tree branches.
"Another world, a very interesting place, I would go there" ?!
"It would be just there that the culinary tao could be cultivated!"
"In our world, apparently the magic power ran out when the Silk Road disappeared"!
- That's right, Bro, you say! In our world, only in hard-to-reach places or forgotten places in cities, there are still remnants of magic!
- By the way, if it works, we can swap places, you are in another world and I am in ours!
- But we will do it when you are at home!
"Wow, can you do this right now?"
- No, I can't do it right now. I'll think about how it can be done.
- I wonder what is this culinary dao?
"So did you hear that?"
"About this culinary dao"?
- This is the first time I heard from you, very interesting, I think about it the Persians, probably knew something, probably the Chinese, Tibetans, Hindus?
"But in ordinary cooking you will only find traces of their knowledge. Why do you think so"?
- Think for yourself, this is an ordinary household food, and that one is medicinal, special.
- Apparently, there are traces in ancient books or ancient cult meals.
- Maybe some villages or communities have preserved traditional food containing knowledge of your culinary dao.
- However, it should be borne in mind that on Earth, there have been changes on a global scale!
"What do you mean"?
- In simple terms, something happened, the magical power of the Earth is not the same as it was in the Holocene, 35,000 years ago, or the Quaternary period 250,000 years ago.
- There were all sorts of unprecedented birds, fish, insects, animals.
- Air, soil, water, the whole shell of the Earth was different.
- Now, then this is not. Therefore, everything became ordinary, but the magic was preserved, these are all amazing creatures of the Creator!
- But the healing properties are already less, since the ecology of the environment is different. It is no longer necessary for people to engage in magic, to be cultivators.
- New world, everything adapts to its changes!
- You understand!
"Bro, I also want to go to another world"!
- We will solve it!
- Till!
"Yes, good, where we are not"!
Shir-Ali, I tried other products on the sly. The root, it tasted like strawberries, had the color of lettuce leaves, but the texture resembled an apple, tasted like strawberries.
Shir-Ali, now, began to think how he could create a new type of dessert!
