In Stardate 9102, humanity had left Earth for seven millennia. In the interstellar era, Earth's civilization was lost, and humans survived on nutrient solutions. In this very year, an Earthling...
Chapter 226: Lazy Man's Stew [Second Update]
There were a lot of pumpkin tarts. Tu Yuanyuan ate five, and Tu Rongrong ate two, but there were still a dozen left. So Tu Rongrong put them away and prepared to give them to Tu Che and A11 to try after they came back.
For dinner, Tu Rongrong made a big stew, which was rare. Tu Rongrong sliced the pork belly and fried it to release the oil, then added the ribs, and also added the onions, ginger and garlic.
After the pork belly and ribs were fried until fragrant, Tu Rongrong added the beans and stir-fried them together, then poured water to cover the vegetables in the pot. Tu Rongrong also cut the potatoes into pieces and placed them on top.
Of course, in addition to potatoes, Tu Rongrong also cut and sliced two cabbages and put them in to stew together. After sprinkling salt, pouring in light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and chicken essence, Tu Rongrong covered the lid and stewed it without leaving any more.
Tu Yuanyuan lay obediently in the hammock watching cartoons. After Tu Rongrong put all the ingredients in and stewed them, she felt a lot more relaxed and returned to Tu Yuanyuan to continue weaving the basket.
Tu Rongrong just wanted to weave the basket to pass the time when she was bored. For example, most of the containers she needed to put vegetables in the kitchen were plates and bowls, which were not convenient for her to drain the water, so it was better to use baskets.
When Tu Rongrong was weaving the basket, Tu Che and A11 also came back. They did not come back at noon, but Tu Che went home on his own initiative in the evening.
As robots, they rarely experience this kind of home atmosphere, so they are unwilling to give it up.
Tu Che and the others came back. Tu Rongrong looked at the rice in the pot. This time she didn't add any other ingredients to the rice. She just cooked white rice.
The rice is cooked, so the stew in the pot should be almost done too, right?
"Uncle Che, can you please check the potatoes in the pot to see if they are soft enough and can be taken out of the pot." Tu Rongrong was putting the final touches on the basket and had no time to check on the food in the pot, so she asked Tu Che to help.
Tu Che looked at the two sisters who didn't even raise their heads, shook his head helplessly, and walked to the stove, lifted the lid of the pot, poked a potato with chopsticks, and felt that the middle of the potato was still a little undercooked, so Tu Che covered the lid and continued to stew.
"The ice cream production line has been put into production. This thing is relatively easy to make, especially popsicles, which are easier to make, so they can be on the shelves tomorrow." Tu Che came out of the kitchen, walked to the table outside and sat down, then said to Tu Rongrong.
"Huh? The ice cream is ready?" Tu Rongrong looked up in surprise. "It's a pity that we didn't visit the ice cream production workshop when we visited yesterday."
"Tomorrow we'll be selling milk popsicles, mung bean popsicles, red bean popsicles, fruit popsicles, and more. Of course, the ice cream cones you mentioned will also be available."
"As for other ice creams, some of them can be put online. The strawberries are ripe now, so the production of dried strawberries and candied strawberries can be postponed. Making strawberry ice cream can consume a lot of strawberries." Tu Che continued.
"Okay." Tu Rongrong nodded. "Our customers will be very happy. Today we have braised food online, and tomorrow we have ice cream online. They are in for a treat."
"Yes, it's a treat." Tu Che also said with a smile.
Tu Rongrong and Tu Che were talking about this, and A11 would say a few words occasionally. After a while, Tu Che looked at the dishes in the pot again. Now all the dishes in the pot were cooked. Tu Che turned off the fire, took a big basin and directly served the large amount of stew in the pot.
Tu Rongrong's stew isn't authentic, as she doesn't use pickled cabbage or vermicelli. She still hasn't made vermicelli yet, nor potato, sweet potato, or mung bean vermicelli. Only rice flour is officially produced and sold by Xingguang, and Tu Rongrong doesn't make any of that.
Even if a hotpot is just a bunch of ingredients thrown together and stewed casually, it will become a super delicious food in the hands of a chef with superb cooking skills like Tu Rongrong. What's more, Northeastern hotpot is a very delicious food, so everyone was very satisfied with today's dinner.
Tu Rongrong would still take her sister out for a walk after eating and drinking. As for Tu Che and A11, they were both robots. It was not the case that they would gain weight if they ate too much and did not exercise.
Tu Rongrong didn't want to lose her figure, and of course she didn't want her sister to grow into a fat kid, so Tu Rongrong insisted on taking her sister for a walk after meals.
Of course, Tu Rongrong took a walk directly on the road in the field, and then used her special abilities to nourish the crops around her. The previous rice and wheat had all been harvested by agricultural robots, and new seedlings were planted.
Tu Rongrong was walking on the road at this moment. When she came to the rice fields and wheat fields, she unconsciously used her special ability to stimulate growth. In such a short time, the rice seedlings had grown a lot taller, and the wheat seedlings had also grown a lot taller.
Tu Rongrong didn't care. After walking through the wheat field and rice field, she came to the cornfield. The cornfield was already full of tender corn, so she used her supernatural power to ripen it. After the corn was ripe, she could pick it directly, dry it, and grind it into cornmeal.
Young corn is indeed delicious, but Tu Rongrong can't use all the acres of corn to eat young corn, so she just ripens the corn directly, makes it into cornmeal, and then processes it into food to sell.
Next is the potato field. The potatoes have not been ripened directly yet because the agricultural robot is still busy with the corn field. The potato field will be ripened after the corn field is harvested.
There are also crops such as soybeans, mung beans, and sweet potatoes. Tu Rongrong occasionally uses his supernatural powers to promote their growth, but he does not ripen them all at once. After all, the work efficiency of the two agricultural robots is indeed high, but they cannot harvest hundreds of acres of land in one day.
Of course, while Tu Rongrong was using her special abilities to take care of the crops around her, she did not forget to teach her younger sister to use her newly awakened water-based special abilities to help with watering.
Tu Yuanyuan is only two years old. In Tu Rongrong's view, her supernatural power is just to be a mobile bucket of water. As for using water-based supernatural powers to fight and kill enemies, that will have to wait until Tu Yuanyuan is ten years old.
What? Water-based abilities are useless? Haha, who said that?
Water-based abilities are also very lethal, okay? You have to know that all living things have water in their bodies. If a water-based ability user has strong control over their abilities, they can instantly drain all the water from the enemy's body and see if they can survive.
Of course, Tu Rongrong didn't intend to let Tu Yuanyuan come into contact with such a ferocious thing at such a young age. Before the little fat girl was ten years old, she would just teach her to be a good mobile reservoir. Anyway, watering the farmland would help her control her supernatural powers more skillfully.
Tu Rongrong took her sister for a walk. Although the irrigation system of Tu Rongrong's farmland was very complete in the middle of summer, she still found many places for Tu Yuanyuan to water the crops.
Of course, Tu Rongrong would occasionally tease Tu Yuanyuan and ask her to try to hit her with the water balls condensed by her water-based ability to see if she could hit her.
Well, before her sister learned how to shoot at a fixed target, Tu Rongrong let her shoot at a moving target.
Tu Rongrong looked at her sister and thought, maybe she could pick up badminton or table tennis to pass the time? She could play with her sister and it would also be a form of exercise, right?
After a stroll and exhausting her supernatural powers, Tu Rongrong took her sister home with her. Of course, on the way back, she placed an order for badminton and table tennis balls, and they said they would be made and sent to her within a year.
After returning home, Tu Rongrong took her sister to sit on the swing for a while. After a rest, Tu Rongrong took the little girl back to take a bath, and then left the little girl to Tu Che.
Tu Rongrong started running at night before she went to bed.
Tu Rongrong ran five laps around her farmland again. After five laps, she returned to the yard to do some stretching exercises and slowly relaxed.
After resting for about half an hour, Tu Rongrong went back to take a bath and coaxed the little fat girl to sleep.
Tu Rongrong did not continue the live broadcast today, nor did she do any live broadcasts in the next few days, because she was focusing on exercising and did not want to cook or do live broadcasts.
Tu Rongrong already had experience in martial arts training, so it was not difficult for her to pick up her martial arts skills again.
