Due to her parents' unexpected passing, Gu Xinyan resolutely quit her job in the big city to take care of her blind grandmother and her little brother. She returned to her hometown and inherite...
Chapter 93 The Big Pot Rice
Miler and Elolo excitedly circled around the oven, making Gu Xinyan a little dizzy.
These two girls are actually quite similar; they both love to eat and are definitely little foodies.
"Alright, all of you stop turning around and let it roast here. It'll be a while. Oh, by the way, Your Highness, could you make another big pot and a stove?"
"If we're cooking for so many people, our store doesn't have pots and stoves that big!"
Just as Gu Xinyan was about to get busy, she remembered this matter again and quickly spoke to Milair.
After all, what she said was true. Today she was planning to cook a large pot of food. With so many people eating, it was definitely not possible to use a small pot, otherwise it would take forever. So cooking in a large pot was more suitable.
"Sure, is one enough? If not, I'll make two more. As for the stove, I'll make you an energy-efficient one."
Miler patted her chest and agreed. She was very happy now, feeling that this was much more interesting than staying in the research institute to study things.
Hmm? Energy? Gu Xinyan found it somewhat amusing. This girl melted down her energy sword; who was she after now?
However, she wasn't disappointed. After all, the students were all inside her protective shield, and by the time the rescue arrived tomorrow, the military exercise would definitely be impossible to continue. This energy sword could be put to good use, so she nodded in agreement.
"Okay, then make a few more here, four, one for steaming rice and the other three for stir-frying vegetables, that will speed things up a lot."
After all, the sun had already set. They had eaten quite a lot at noon, but these students were still hungry, so they needed to eat quickly so that her customers wouldn't go hungry.
"Okay, don't worry, Mr. Gu, I'll make it for you right away. It's easy to make, it'll be ready in no time, and I promise it won't delay your dinner preparation!"
After smilingly finished speaking, Miler turned her gaze to Elolo and Xifeng behind her and continued confidently:
"I used my energy sword on the oven. Quick, hand over your energy swords! If the big pot can't cook it, we won't be able to have any delicious food tonight."
Ai Luoluo and the others: "........."
Although that makes sense, I still really wanted to spit in her face. Look how smug she is! But despite my thoughts, I still obediently offered up my energy sword.
Waaaaah... They've contributed their energy swords, I wonder if they'll get to eat a couple more bowls of rice later!
Seeing how obedient they were, Milair nodded in satisfaction, took the energy swords from them, and then returned to where he had been working, burying himself in his work again.
Looking at their pitiful appearance, Gu Xinyan felt a little guilty. After all, if she hadn't wanted the cauldron, their energy swords wouldn't have been taken away. So she comforted them, saying:
"Hey, I'll cook something delicious for you guys later, don't be sad, I'll give you extra portions!"
Upon hearing this, Ai Luoluo's initially sad expression instantly changed, and she happily circled around Gu Xinyan.
"Really? Mr. Gu is so kind! I need to eat three big bowls of rice later! Otherwise, I'll still feel uneasy!"
"Hahaha! Okay, okay, I'll give you three big bowls, plenty, absolutely plenty!" Gu Xinyan replied with a laugh.
After saying that, he went back to what he was doing, since the frog beast wasn't marinated yet and would need to be refrigerated for about an hour after it was marinated.
Busy times always pass quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already dark, and the lights inside the store illuminated the outside very brightly.
Several large pots have been set out, and the other frog-like creatures have also been roasted after an afternoon of baking.
The enticing aroma filled the air, making everyone present swallow hard.
It smells amazing! It smells so good that they can hardly control themselves. Even the black beetle clan outside the protective shield had suspicious liquid dripping from the corners of their mouths.
Not to mention that when several large pots were on fire at the same time, the aroma was so strong and intoxicating. Gu Xinyan and the other three each guarded one of the four large pots. Li Chendong was the least skilled cook among the four, so he was assigned to cook rice.
Lu Yunting then stir-fried vegetarian dishes, which was relatively simple and easy to do. The main force, Gu Xinyan and Gu Xinya, each guarded a large pot, one for braised duck and the other for spicy rabbit.
They poured all sorts of seasonings into the pot, dazzling the students present. The overwhelming aroma captivated them completely.
The same thing happened on the StarNet; it almost caused an uproar. In the end, it was only after Vice General Mokri promised that he would replace the live streamer with one that had holographic taste capabilities that the online commotion was calmed down.
Meanwhile, the same scene was unfolding in the imperial palace.
“Seele, I feel that these people are the key to our daughter’s future, and also the key to our empire’s future. Look, their arrival has not only saved these students, but also saved so many families.”
The emperor said with absolute certainty that he truly believed these people were the great opportunity the ancestor had spoken of!
The beautiful woman standing nearby didn't really want to talk to him, so she turned her attention to her eldest son.
"Viote, get ready to head to Flamewood Star and see what kind of business Boss Gu and his group are planning to do with us."
After saying that, he turned his gaze to his youngest son and continued:
"Sid, you stay at the palace and wait for news from there. Then take the supplies and head to Yanmu Star!"
"Yes, Mother!" the two brothers replied in unison, and then strode out of the palace.
The emperor was still somewhat bewildered when he saw his wife arrange everything in the blink of an eye. Wasn't he just talking about a matter of chance? Why was he suddenly sending his eldest son to Yanmu Star?
The beautiful woman looked at the emperor with disdain. She knew without a doubt that he was thinking about his... opportunity again.
Seriously, speechless! Then, she thought helplessly to herself, "Sigh! If this family didn't have me, it probably would have fallen apart!"
The most damaging comment came from the Empress, but the Emperor seemed to enjoy it nonetheless.
Meanwhile, at the shop, all the dishes and rice were ready, but the roast duck was not sliced for serving.
After all, this frog beast was too big, and there were a lot of people at the scene. If we cut it into pieces, we didn't know how long it would take, so we just cut it into small pieces.
