During the apocalypse, Nan Xiangwan not only stored various survival necessities in his space, but also made careful travels around the world, obtaining almost all the seed genes.
The space contains 45 million biological seeds and recipes from all over the world. It can be said that the food culture of the Blue Planet is basically backed up in the space.
That's why Nan Xiangwan is so adept at making all kinds of dishes.
Ye Chaoqun helped out, and Nan Xiangwan quickly prepared several home-style dishes.
Ouyang Qian said, "What a pity! If we could make some more substantial dishes, the old general might prefer the food from Water Blue Star!"
"However, the only crops that can be grown in the first phase are these relatively common dishes!"
Ouyang Qian is right. This time, Zhan Siyu's experiment used seeds that are relatively easy to grow, such as cucumbers, peas, and tomatoes.
These seeds can produce their first fruit within three months, while the results for other vegetables are less satisfactory.
There was no other way, after all, the old general couldn't unconditionally accept Zhan Siyu's experimental time indefinitely; they had to produce a batch of results at each stage.
The results of this first phase of experimentation are already enough for Nan Xiangwan to make his mark.
Nan Xiangwan said with a smile, "What's the big deal? At least the old general knows the results of the first phase of the experiment, so he can continue to support A-Zhan!"
Nan Haochen and Nangong Chen both nodded, agreeing that Nan Xiangwan's words made a lot of sense.
The others could only watch from the sidelines as Nan Xiangwan prepared all the dishes one by one, filling the entire experimental base with the aroma of food.
“These are two kinds of rice. Go and cook the rice…” Nan Xiangwan said.
Then he handed one of the blue bowls to Nan Haochen. It contained rice taken from his spatial dimension, the most standard crop grown on the planet Aquamarine.
The other pink bowl contained rice that had just been brought back from the experimental field.
Currently, the two types of rice seem to look the same, since they are identical in appearance.
But as for the taste, you'll only know after you've tried it.
Nan Haochen and Nangong Chen washed the two different types of rice and put them in the rice cooker. About thirty minutes later, the rice was cooked.
"The two kinds of rice seem to taste a little different..." Ye Chaoqun could smell the two kinds of food just by standing next to them.
Ye Chaonan nodded as well; there did seem to be a difference between the two flavors.
"Yes, the rice from Water Blue Star has a wonderful aroma when cooked, but the rice from the experimental field doesn't seem to have any fragrance at all. I wonder what it will taste like..."
Ye Chaonan was also shocked by the difference between the two types of rice, never expecting there would be so many problems.
Nan Xiangwan also breathed a sigh of relief; this matter had to be taken seriously.
It's not a good thing that you can tell the difference between the two just by their taste.
However, Nan Xiangwan was not discouraged. He just sighed silently and then quickly went to prepare other ingredients.
The first dish to be stir-fried is braised beef in red broth, which was a dish that Zhan Siyu used to really like, so Nan Xiangwan often made it for him.
However, after arriving on the Blue Planet, there were no fresh tomatoes available. The few tomatoes had to be preserved in the space as the last remaining plant genes, so this dish could not be made.
However, to create a difference between the two ingredients, Nan Xiangwan had no choice but to take out the tomatoes from her space, a total of six.
“These two types of tomatoes don’t seem to be much different!” Ye Chaoqun said.
Just like the rice they had just seen, the rice grown in the soil of Blue Planet and the rice grown in the experimental fields of Rose Planet looked exactly the same.
However, the final product was a mix of fragrant rice and completely tasteless rice, which could be described as colorless and odorless.
Ultimately, food must be prepared by a chef to fully bring out its flavor before it can be evaluated.
Nan Xiangwan was the chef. He processed and prepared all the ingredients, and then put them in according to certain steps and proportions.
Before long, the aroma of the dishes filled the air.
"This time it seems to be working?" Ye Chaonan asked.
Nangong Chen nodded. The tomatoes produced in the experimental field didn't have a very strong sweet flavor, but they still smelled pretty good.
Smiles appeared on Ouyang Qian's and Ye Chaoqun's faces. Could there be hope?
But Nan Xiangwan shook her head. She still felt something was off, so she couldn't get excited prematurely.
"We can't let our guard down yet, there are still five dishes to go," Nan Xiangwan said.
They still have five dishes to make, so it cannot be concluded that the dishes made in the experimental field are good.
They plan to make a total of six dishes, in order to make full use of the food grown in the experimental base and to showcase the charm of the cuisine of Aquamarine as much as possible.
Zhan Siyu had been waiting outside for thirty minutes. Old Master Ye and the old general had some things to talk about, so he planned to go find Nan Xiangwan first.
"The whole base is filled with the aroma of delicious food; I can't resist wanting to eat right now!" the old general said.
Grandpa Ye nodded. Ever since he tasted the delicacies of Aquamarine Star, he had wanted his company's people to develop a few dishes.
But as it turns out, without the ingredients from the Blue Planet that Nan Xiangwan had, no matter how fancy their methods were, they simply couldn't replicate the taste.
The crops grown on Rose Star have an extremely strange taste, so Grandpa Ye wanted to come and try them.
"Yes, the food smells so good, it's really tempting!"
Grandpa Ye is already over two hundred years old, and he no longer has much attraction for anything in this world. His only goal in life now is to protect his family's business.
But ever since he tasted the delicious food from the Blue Planet, his life seems to have been rekindled with passion.
Zhan Siyu smiled and said, "I'll go check on how the food is being prepared. Please, gentlemen, sit here for a while!"
Grandpa Ye nodded, and the old general was also impatient, naturally hoping that Nan Xiangwan could prepare the delicious dish as soon as possible.
Zhan Siyu left the office and immediately went to the small room where Nan Xiangwan was.
This small room was temporarily cleared out and is now used as Nanxiangwan's kitchen for processing ingredients; it's still quite cramped inside.
