Chapter 107 This is what I mean

"Sister, I'm sorry. I was wrong this morning." Jiufang Yu held the cup with both hands, gently knocked Jiufang Yu's cup, and respectfully apologized to his sister.

"Forget it, you're not completely wrong. I did have the intention to test him at that time." Jiufang Yan's beautiful eyes moved slightly, and she glanced at him, picked up the cup and drank it all, and gently put the matter aside. In front of her, he could always make mistakes and throw tantrums like a child, and she could also use family rules to beat people up at any time when she was angry. Tolerating and indulging each other was the way they got along as a family.

"Sister, try this pearl fish ball." Jiufang Yu put aside the dignity of the Star Lord and obediently served the dishes to his sister. "Huanhuan heard that you like to eat fish and shrimp, so I racked my brains to think about the menu for half a day."

The fish balls in the bowl are round like pearls, half wrapped in thick green soup, which complement each other like white clouds and green water. The golden fish bones on the edge of the bowl hold their heads high and wag their tails, with their reflections reflected in the bowl, like a dragon flying through the clouds, lively and agile.

Jiufang Yu followed Qi Huan's previous instructions, took down the fish bones, ground them into powder in a small bowl, and sprinkled a little on the fish balls, which looked pleasing to the eye.

The delicate fish meat is soft, flexible and sweet, and when it meets the fresh wild vegetables, it bursts with an even more sharp sweetness. The crispy fragrance of the fish bones swims between the teeth, adding the icing on the cake to the taste.

Jiufang Yan put down the spoon and shook his head lightly, sighing, "Since I married your brother-in-law, I have attended hundreds of dinners, big and small, and tasted the cooking of hundreds of celebrity chefs, but no one has ever been able to make these two dishes as good as they are."

"Huanhuan is the best in the world!" Si Liang said as he scooped a spoonful of fish balls into his mouth with satisfaction, and without hesitation ranked Qi Huan first on his star chef ranking list.

"Yes, the best in the world." Jiufang Yan agreed with his son lovingly.

"Huanhuan also said that she wanted to make a palace lantern for mom to eat." Little Tuanzi revealed the news while eating.

"Making a palace lantern?" Jiufang Yan was a little surprised, but then she understood. She thought it was probably made by carving patterns out of cucumbers and radishes. She had seen some celebrity chefs make fancy dishes before, using fruits and vegetables to carve out the shapes of pavilions and terraces. The colors were bright, the shapes were neat, and the designs were exquisite and unique.

At this moment, Jiufang Yu's personal terminal vibrated and a message from Qi Huan popped up.

After seeing the content, Jiufang Yu pondered for a moment, "There is indeed such a possibility. The existence form of dark beasts is different from that of ordinary stone beasts. It is not surprising that the form of the beast core is different from our previous concept. This is probably the reason why we have not been able to find the beast core of the soul-eating dark vine these days. 】

[Could it be the mucus in the middle of the vines? I just tested it with the evaluation instrument that Qiu Ran helped to upgrade, and the energy level of the mucus is actually one level higher than the vines themselves.]

[I'll talk to Qiu Ran about this. We'll study this idea after the dinner.]

Jiufang Yu called Qiu Ran over and whispered to him about Qi Huan's guess. Qiu Ran's eyes lit up with excitement, "I'll arrange it right away."

"No, let's talk after dinner."

"What's so urgent?" Jiufang Yu was a little curious when he saw Qiu Ran returning with a happy face.

Jiufang Yu sighed softly, "It's good news. Huanhuan has found some clues about the Soul-Eating Dark Vine Beast Core."

"Really?" The double S-level beast cores might be very helpful to Jiufang Yu's condition. Jiufang Yu was delighted when he heard this. "The more I look at this child, the more he looks like your lucky star."

"Well, he is my lucky star."

"Tsk~ so jealous." Jiufang Yan looked at his younger brother with disdain, it was so corny.

The chicken was shredded into jade-white threads, and was very tasty; the Dongpo pork was wrapped in amber sauce, which was rich and fatty, soft and sticky, and moist on the tongue; the crab meat lion head was rich, fresh and light, soft and tender... Every dish was served and everyone ate with relish, especially the hibiscus and sea pine; the jellyfish was fresh and crispy, and the egg white hibiscus was delicate and smooth, with a combination of hardness and softness. The soup base was only fresh and elegant at first sip, but the taste became richer and mellower the more you tasted it, and the flavors of the various soup ingredients poured out like one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things, which was overwhelming.

When everyone was still enjoying their meal, Qi Huan and Po Ren had already brought the last dessert into Tianfeng Pavilion.

"Gold, Jade and Glass Lamp." Qi Huan took the tray and handed out several plates of desserts to Jiufang Yan, Jiufang Yu, Si Liang and others.

It was a small double-layered hexagonal palace lantern with a pagoda-shaped eaves, only five or six centimeters high. The eaves and the hexagonal lamp frame were made of finely cast white chocolate. The tile and beam patterns were clearly visible, and it was finely brushed with a layer of gold bead powder. The golden light was dazzling and the color was flowing. The crystal-like lamp had irregular plum blossom cracks, and it was icy and smooth, revealing the leaping firelight inside.

This is actually a palace lantern that can actually light up! Everyone looked at the mini palace lantern in front of them and marveled at it.

The top of the tower is decorated with a white chocolate chain painted with gold powder, and the other end is hooked with a handle that is also painted with gold beads.

Si Liang curiously pinched the handle and lifted it gently. The whole lampshade was lifted up, revealing a base made of white cake. In the middle of the cake, there was a small oil lamp made of chocolate, and inside it was a pool of strong liquor with a red and blue flame as lamp oil.

The whole dessert is exquisite and delicate, which is breathtaking.

What's even more rare is that when the wine is finished and the fire is extinguished, the hot wine and the melted chocolate soak into the cake underneath. The sweet aroma of the wine and the slightly warm chocolate core give the cake another wonderful flavor that is intoxicating.

"It's so delicious." Yao Yao couldn't help but applaud.

"This is the most delicious cake I have ever eaten." Diwuyuan paused and added, "It is also the best looking."

"I just can't bear to eat it." Wen Liang also sighed while looking at the cake.

Everyone at the table expressed their admiration and praised the food highly.

Many years later, everyone at the table still talks about this dessert with relish. All the flavors condense into ultimate sweetness like a nebula collapsing on the tip of the tongue, remaining in the memory forever.

Jiufang Yan tasted the palace lantern that was extremely ingenious in both shape and taste, and had to admit that she was a little moved. As a first-class guide and the current mistress of the Si family, she was usually surrounded by people who approached, flattered and tried their best to hide their intentions. This kind of exquisite and straightforward mind was inexplicably likable.

It's no wonder that after living with him for a few days, his son kept talking about him all day long when he returned. His younger brother had been with him for two months and he spoiled and protected him in every way. If she had known the child first, it might have been the same. The child's care and consideration for others, and his frank and all-out way of doing things, were simply irresistible.

That night, Yao Yao's private starship arrived at the abandoned planet No. 7.

He couldn't stay on the abandoned planet for too long, and as he had basically dealt with all the things that needed to be dealt with, he went to the starship yard with his sworn brothers who didn't come here on private starships, intending to send everyone back to their own star regions one by one.

The purchasing power of Young Master Yao and his brothers was so strong that they bought out several stores selling scrap star souvenirs in the Starship Yard until they ran out of stock and had to close down.

"You really don't know how to do business. You knew the young master was coming, but you didn't prepare more goods." Yao Yao was still not satisfied with his purchases and openly complained to Jiufang Yu who came to see him off.

Diwuyuan, who was standing next to him, concealed the smile on his face by touching his nose. It was very rare for Jiufang Yu to be humiliated.

"Most things nowadays are handmade. There are only so many people in each base and the quantity is limited. Please bear with us." Jiufang Yu stuffed the food box in his hand to him.

"What?" Yao Yao was a little confused as he looked at the box in his arms.

"Huanhuan made some snacks for you to eat while you're bored on the starship. The first layer of golden jade egg yolk pastry and the second layer of dacquoise are for you. The divine beast pastry at the bottom is specially made according to the appearance of your Luoluo. It's for Luoluo."

The shape of Luo Luo? Yao Yao curiously opened it and took a look. He saw three round and plump white-haired squirrels with beautiful furry tails curled into an S shape. They wore golden jade crowns on their heads, brocade jackets on their bodies, and were covered in jewels. They looked exactly like Luo Luo when she first appeared. They were clever and vivid, and lifelike.

"I regret it. I shouldn't have become sworn brothers with you. I should have become sworn brothers with Huanhuan." Yao Yao sighed with emotion while holding the food box.

"It's too late. There's no chance." Jiufang Yu shattered his fantasy with a cold face, "Your future path to sworn brotherhood has been blocked. You can't be sworn brother to anyone."

"Oh, it's over. Is this the first time in my life that I've made a losing business?" Yao Yao frowned, looking regretful and distressed.

"There's an 80% chance of that." Jiufang Yu nodded seriously.

"Impossible, the young master of the mine alone has made a fortune." Yao Yao retorted. The gem factory on Feixing was his personal investment, and it was his and Jiufang Yu's private business. The future profits would belong to him alone and had nothing to do with the Yao family.

"Have a safe trip." Jiufang Yu raised his eyebrows frivolously, without making any comment.

"Bon voyage." Diwuyuan also waved.

"Can't you two just act like brothers or something?" Yao Yao said with disdain.

Jiufang Yu and Diwuyuan shrugged at the same time, unable to act at all.

Yao Yao gritted his teeth at Jiufang Yu, "Especially you. I'm going back to the Yao family to 'fight'. If I win, you'll have a powerful ally in the future. If I lose, no one will ask you to pay for the investment in the gem processing factory. You won't lose either way."

"Then you still win." Jiufang Yu clenched his right fist and pointed the fist towards Yao Yao.

"That's more like it." Yao Yao held the food box with one hand and gently bumped his fist with his. "It's not easy to hear you say something nice."

Diwuyuan followed suit and bumped fists with him.

"The main reason is that I'm not used to owing money, and if I owe you money, given your personality, I'm afraid you won't let me go even if you become a ghost." Jiufang Yu added coldly.

"Brother, next time you come I will definitely increase the share ratio in the contract!" Yao Yao angrily kicked Jiufang Yu's calf, turned around with a silent smile on the corner of his lips, and stepped briskly onto the stairs of the starship with the food box in his arms.

The guards standing in line on both sides also filed in behind him.

Jiufang Yu had already promised Qi Huan to cooperate with him in the treatment, so placing and setting up the top-level medical cabin brought by Jiufang Yu became a matter of urgency.

To this end, everyone drove a small starship to the new base.

The construction site is a busy scene, with large machines and various strange-shaped robots coming and going everywhere.

In addition to some familiar faces he had seen before at Base No. 3, Qi Huan also saw many people from the Nomadic Base. Honglin was operating a large machine similar to an excavator, and most of the children were busy running around in the repair yard. They were responsible for using wind power to wash away the dust on the machinery and helping to clean the sand and gravel in the gaps of some precision equipment to prevent them from getting stuck.

The children are still very thin, but they are obviously healthier and can’t hide the smiles on their faces. Everything is moving in a good direction.

Ever since receiving Qi Huan's opinion that the dark beast's core might have a completely different form, Qiu Ran and the medical team have been conducting intensive research on the SS-level vines provided by Qi Huan, and have indeed discovered some deviations and mistakes caused by previous inertial thinking.

For example, when Jiang Xian was sampling, he habitually inserted the sampling needle into the center of the vine. In fact, he basically measured the energy value of the mucus area. After the vine was cooked as an ingredient, the mucus had been cleaned and removed. When sampling, the energy value of the vine fibers and vine pieces was measured. The fact that Qi Huan made the dish with SS-level vines that night had no difference in energy level before and after was due to this mistake.

In order to correct the deviated direction and previous data problems and to buy back as much time as possible, Qiu Ran and the members of the medical team stayed in the research area almost all the time these past two days except for eating and sleeping. They even took the time to choose the address of the medical cabin only after arriving above the new base and going to the control cabin. They circled a few suggested locations with the help of the energy scan map and the new base planning map, and then hurried back.

Jiufang Yu examined those locations and the surrounding future planned base functional areas, and discussed them with Jiufang Yu.

Jiufang Xuan herself is a senior guide. She helped with the family's medical business when she was in the Jiufang family. After marrying into the Si family, she took charge of and led most of the research related to mental power. She is familiar with the parameters, indicators, principles and characteristics of various instruments, and can talk about them endlessly.

Qi Huan and Si Liang were listening nearby. He didn't quite understand the parameters, but considering that he and Jiu Fangyu would be the main users of the medical cabin for a period of time in the future, he felt that he should learn more about the technical aspects. However, this thing was more hypnotic than mathematics. He tried very hard to listen, but as he listened, he began to feel sleepy, just like Si Liang beside him.

"Huanhuan, do you want to choose the address of the future Renjian Restaurant as well?" Qi Huan was feeling drowsy with drooping eyelids when he suddenly heard Jiufang Yu calling his name.

"No need." Qi Huan felt guilty, as if he was caught sleeping in class, and immediately opened his eyes and answered quickly. Renjian Restaurant is just a restaurant, and he can just put it where he lives in the future. There is no need to plan it so seriously in advance.

"Don't you have any requests or ideas?" Jiufang Yu asked.

"It must be large enough, clean, tidy, with clear functional areas, and most importantly, sturdy! It must be able to withstand fights between sentinels and physical attacks from pets." Qi Huan listed a few points casually, and then he became serious, emphasizing the last one. To this day, he can still remember the brutal scene of the purple rabbit biting off the eaves of the restaurant.

"Then it's not a matter of location, but a matter of materials. I guess we have to use materials used for starships."

“Then why don’t Huanhuan open a restaurant directly on the starship? It’s not only sturdy but also convenient. We can go wherever we want.” Si Liang interrupted whimsically.

Jiufang Yu: ...

"Mobile restaurant, this is a good idea." Qi Huan touched Si Liang's head encouragingly and dotingly, and pointed at the small starship half-jokingly and half-seriously, and began to plan excitedly, "This semi-disc-shaped front cabin will be equipped with tables and chairs as a dining area. The beautifully curved cabin window has excellent lighting. You can see the scenery outside when sitting by the window. It is also protected from wind, sand and stone beasts. The double shuttle-shaped rear cabin will be used as a guest room area for reception and accommodation. The middle cabin is separated by a double "I"-shaped partition door. The front is the front hall reception, and the back is the kitchen preparation area. If you get bored of staying in one place, you can change places at any time. In the future, we can also drive to other star fields and make a mobile restaurant that tours the nine star fields..."

"It sounds really good. I'll give you this small starship." Jiufang Yan nodded seriously.

Qi Huan choked, "No, that's not what I meant."

He was just talking nonsense, speaking for fun.

Jiufang Yan smiled slightly, "This is what I mean. From now on, I will give you this small starship to open a restaurant."
