Chapter 37: Things belong to their owners
Qi Huan didn't know why he felt guilty. He straightened his clothes and tried to look calm. "I'll do it for you later."
"No rush, just wait until we have the spotted beast meat." Chen Ye blinked slyly. He was somewhat responsible for this matter. Usually, he was surrounded by strong sentinels, so the force of the red uniform grab could not hurt them. But he forgot that the little chef was a weak human being, and he should have helped deal with it just now.
Chen Ye wanted to continue teasing Qi Huan, but Si Han glanced at him calmly. He felt a chill on the back of his neck, and remembered why he came upstairs. He touched the braid on the side of his cheek and said, "Boss, I want to ask if we should deal with the person lying opposite."
Si Han tilted his head slightly and turned to Qi Huan, "Do you have a grudge against that guy called Lao Pi?"
"Yeah," Qi Huan sighed, "We've picked up trash together before."
"Picking up trash?" Shen Ye looked at Qi Huan in confusion, as if he couldn't connect this matter with him.
"There is a metal waste treatment plant to the north of the base." People from the Central Star Region naturally cannot fully understand the difficult life of those people in the abandoned star base. Qi Huan briefly explained the situation of everyone squatting on the garbage ship to pick up discarded energy stones and metals in exchange for money, and also roughly described the conflict between him and Lao Pi. "That time he didn't succeed and was driven away by Brother Man, which must have affected his income from picking up garbage. I guess he hates me because of this."
There was no evidence at the gate, so Qi Huan didn't mention it.
"It seems that I didn't hit him lightly just now." Si Han gently turned the white jade ring on his hand. Seeing that the man had no mental strength, he deliberately retracted his strength.
"Shameless!" Shen Ye was also furious after hearing this, and decided to give the man a few more hits later.
"What the leader does is what the followers follow. With a star master like that, places like Waste Star would naturally have been occupied by shameless people long ago." Qi Huan was helpless. The rules were just for show, and scoundrels could always be so self-righteous.
"Aren't we going to change people? We won't do that again in the future." Shen Ye immediately "clarified".
"All crows are black." Qi Huan shrugged, "It's just a different soup, the medicine is the same, they are all the same."
"That's not certain. What if there's a white one..." Chen Ye originally wanted to say what if there's a white one, but when he saw Si Han's black outfit, he changed his words and said, "What if there's a good crow?"
Sihan:......
Qi Huan shook his head, indicating that he didn't want to discuss the matter anymore, and turned to look at Si Han, "By the way, is there something that brought you here so early today?" He originally wanted to bring the person up to ask, but was delayed by various things and forgot everything.
"Actually, I'm here to apologize on behalf of Xiao Ba." Si Han took out the signal device he received this morning from his white jade ring. "I heard that the signal device you used for live streaming was broken, so I replaced it with a new one for you."
"No need to waste it. The original one might still be usable after some repairs." Qi Huan planned to contact Bai Fu's customer service to inquire about the situation later, but he didn't expect Si Han to buy a new one directly.
I was even more surprised when I opened it, it turned out to be the top-of-the-line model!
The price was really high. He was about to refuse but was held by Chen Ye's wrist. "Take it. Xiao Ba will have to run to your kitchen in the future. This one can withstand it. If you really feel bad, just remember to treat us to delicious food for free this month."
"Not just this month, you can come anytime in the future, it's free forever." Qi Huan promised seriously. Si Han obviously had a lot of money, and there seemed to be no other way to repay him except to make more of their favorite food.
Shen Ye put his hands on his hips and shook his red braid, "Then you have to think carefully, our team has more than three people, and there are still two who haven't arrived yet."
"It's okay. As long as they are from the Ferocious Beast Team, we'll take care of them."
"Ah Huan, it's time to close the stall. I'm leaving first." Wu Ke's voice came from downstairs.
"Ake, wait a minute," Qi Huan responded, and took Si Han and Shen Ye downstairs, "Come on, let's go downstairs and finish breakfast first."
Qi Huan originally wanted to ask Wu Ke to stay and eat together, but he was in a hurry to go to work, so he had to pack two boxes of buns and steamed dumplings for him to take away.
Chen also followed Wu Ke out, and just in time saw Lao Pi, who had just woken up, getting up and trying to sneak away, so he went up and gave him a beating with punches and kicks, leaving his face swollen and his nose crooked.
"Apologize." Shen Ye grabbed the man by the collar and dragged him to the door of the restaurant.
“Ah Huan…”
As soon as Lao Pi opened his mouth, he was kicked in the back by Shen Ye again, "Did you call Ah Huan?"
"Qi, Lord Qi," Lao Pi fell to the ground trembling. His cheek was swollen and two teeth were knocked out. He spoke with a lisp. It took him a long time to finally utter a respectful title. "Please forgive me this time."
After saying this, he kept kowtowed against the stepping stone in front of the threshold, leaving blood on the stone surface.
Qi Huan couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, go to the Communicative Hall and receive your punishment."
According to the rules of the base, Lao Pi would have his security points deducted for malicious accusations like this. If he had been law-abiding, he should have been able to stay in the base after the deduction of points. Otherwise, he would have been kicked out.
"Thank you, Mr. Qi. Thank you, Mr. Qi."
Lao Pi kowtowed twice more, and just as he was about to get up, Chen Ye grabbed his ear again, "Boy, don't have any bad thoughts. If I find out that you didn't go to accept the punishment, you will be in trouble."
"I'll go right away. I'll go right away." Lao Pi didn't even dare to raise his head. He staggered to his feet and walked while holding on to the wall.
Looking at his receding back, Shen Ye crossed his arms and looked at Qi Huan, "Why don't you throw a couple of punches to vent your anger?"
"My hands are used to make delicious food. I don't want to dirty my hands if I hit him." Qi Huan raised his chin and turned back to the house.
Chen also smiled and shook his head, a man with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
Qi Huan prepared breakfasts of various flavors, including mushroom and animal meat buns, chicken floss porridge, salted eggs, Chunfeng Biluo, caramel toast, and mahjong noodles, and filled the table.
Qi Huan was a little surprised when he didn't see the potter. "Is the potter still not up?"
"I went to do some work early in the morning, so there's no need to wait for him." Si Han hesitated as he looked at the table full of food, then took another bowl of chicken floss porridge.
"Huanhuan, you are partial. You put all the delicious food with the boss and only give me a bowl of porridge." Chen Ye complained angrily.
"Hey, don't you like eating buns?" Qi Huan was now immune to the name 'Huanhuan' and stuffed a steaming mushroom meat bun into his hand.
Chen Ye originally wanted to say that he was just trying to be perfunctory, but the bun in front of him turned out to be round and full, with a dozen folds on the top that formed a circle, delicate and even, like a flower stamen. The skin was slightly oily, and the tempting aroma went straight into his nose, making him unable to resist taking a big bite.
The soft dough has a strong wheat aroma, and the inside is soaked in meat filling and is oily and soft. The tender animal meat is mixed with thick diced mushrooms and is juicy between the lips and teeth. The unique fragrance of mushrooms and the taste of meat blend together naturally. Although they are just a few simple and common ingredients, they are so delicious that I almost swallowed my tongue.
Shen Ye nodded while eating. The young chef was right. His hands should be used to make delicious food. It would be better for him to do rough work like beating people himself.
"You drank so much last night that your stomach was damaged. Drinking some porridge this morning can help nourish it. This is called diet therapy." Qi Huan pushed the bowl of porridge in front of him, solemnly stating that he had no intention of "treating him harshly".
"Diet therapy?" Shen Ye thought the term was very fresh and picked up another bun.
"Medicine and food have the same origin. The basic function of diet is to maintain body functions and take in nutrients. If you are sick and weak, you can design a menu based on your personal physical condition to supplement the nutritional deficiencies, which can have unexpected healing effects." Qi Huan stopped talking halfway. The physiques of people in this world are different, especially for sentinels with strong physiques like Shen Ye, who may not need it at all.
"Well," Chen Ye chewed the bun and glanced at Si Han subconsciously. He was about to speak, but was stopped by Si Han's eyes that said 'don't cause trouble for others'. He had to change the subject abruptly, "That's really good."
"Do you want to bring some back for Xiao Ba later?" Qi Huan was stirring the noodles with sesame sauce, thinking about the other 'member' who was absent.
Si Han put down the spoon slowly, "No, it's still sleeping. It should sleep until the evening."
After his mental image was injured, the Si family's medical laboratory tried countless methods but failed to heal his injuries. Zhou Qi Ba's condition also declined simultaneously, not only falling from S-level to A-level, but recently Zhou Qi Ba has been sleeping longer and longer, regressing into a willful, greedy, sleepy, and difficult to communicate with cub.
According to the last diagnosis and test by the laboratory, if no effective medical solution is found, it may never wake up again in about half a year.
This was also the reason why the Jiufang family finally gave up on him. They had fought so hard in the past and were willing to break up with the Si family to take him back. Now, seeing that he was about to become a cripple, they kicked him away and threw him to the Waste Star to fend for himself.
"Although the conditions of Waste Planet No. 7 are a bit poor, it is very suitable for people with injured mental images to recuperate. I heard that it is also the place where your family made its fortune. With the blessing of your ancestors, perhaps your injury will heal faster. So we discussed it and directly transferred it to your name and gave it to you. It can be regarded as a little reward for your hard work in the past few years."
Thinking of the way the elder of the Jiufang family said this in a sanctimonious manner, Si Han found it ridiculous. What he was promised was the second mining planet in the hands of the Jiufang family, but it was directly exchanged for a garbage planet. What Qi Huan said just now was very right. This world has probably been occupied by shameless people.
"Then bring it over for dinner and I'll make it something delicious." Qi Huan put a forkful of noodles into his mouth and instructed.
"Yeah." Si Han came back to his senses, moved his jaw slightly, nodded, and was silent for a few seconds before saying, "If it's convenient, it's best to let Shen Ye stay here with you for a few days."
Jiufang Kuang must have deliberately turned a blind eye and allowed his men to mess around before they left. It was obvious that he was planning to leave him with a mess. Judging from this, there might be a lot of messy things happening recently, so Xu Zhi and the others had to hurry up.
Qi Huan:?
"Yes, that man might come back for revenge in the morning. I will live here to protect you these few days. I will help you greet guests and supervise the renovation of the house next door." Shen Ye chewed the bun, his cheeks puffed up like a hamster, but he did not forget to agree with his boss.
"Is it too much trouble for you?" Thinking of the situation in the morning, Qi Huan also felt a little uneasy. If the guy named A Ren couldn't swallow this anger and couldn't afford to provoke Chen Ye, he would probably come to vent his anger on him, and he would definitely suffer a great loss then.
"We are all friends, you are welcome. You saved Young Master Liang, which is equivalent to saving our boss. Now that you are in trouble, we will definitely protect you." Shen Ye felt that Qi Huan's cooking skills were better as he ate more. In his heart, he even began to think that it was not a bad thing for the boss to be assigned to this garbage planet. In the future, he would not see those annoying guys, and he could eat delicious food, and he could beat stone beasts to vent his anger. To some extent, it was simply a happy life.
"Thank you very much."
"Just say don't be so polite."
"I still have some things to deal with, so I'll leave first." Si Han finished the bowl of porridge and put down the spoon.
Are you full after two bowls of porridge? Qi Huan blinked twice. Compared with other customers who came to the restaurant to eat, he ate too little. No wonder he was so thin.
Before standing up, Si Han took out a can of AD calcium milk and handed it to Qi Huan, "This is for you."
Mini version of fat house happy water? Qi Huan took the can blankly and found that there was no pull ring on the top of the can. There was only a shallow circular depression the size of a fingertip in the middle, and the surrounding area was round and smooth, without any trace of cutting lines.
"Thank you." Qi Huan had already suffered more embarrassment today, and didn't want to continue to embarrass himself in front of Si Han. He didn't rush to figure out how to open the jar, but put it in his collar pin. Space bags and the like were really convenient, but he was afraid that wearing a brooch would be too conspicuous and cause trouble, so he pinned it on the inside of his collar the other way around.
"Dinner will be served at 7:30 p.m., remember to bring Xiao Ba over." Qi Huan gave another instruction to Si Han's back.
The person who walked to the door did not answer, but raised his right hand and waved it as if in response. His silver hair fluttered gently in the morning breeze, drawing a graceful and gentle arc.
As soon as Si Han left, Qi Huan raised his fork and asked Chen Ye, "What does your boss like to eat?"
"Boss, you know, don't eat spicy food, don't eat bitter food, don't eat things with wings, don't eat things with two legs, don't eat things without legs, and don't eat things with more than eight legs." Chen Ye counted on his fingers and repeated the taboos about feet like a jingle.
"But he eats too little."
"He actually didn't pick so many before, but then he was seriously injured and never recovered. Maybe his appetite wasn't very good, so there were more and more things he didn't like to eat." Speaking of this, Shen Ye also showed a rare look of sadness.
It turned out that Si Han's sick feeling was not his illusion. Qi Huan also became worried, "Isn't the Si family's medical technology very good?"
"Yes, but there are still many incurable diseases in the world, just like the boss's injury..." Just like the "illness" of the brothers, Shen Ye smiled bitterly.
"What about Xiaoba's taste? What does he like to eat?"
"It likes to eat everything, but its favorite is probably desserts."
"Do you want it to be purely sweet or with some other flavors, such as sweet and sour, sweet and salty, or bitter? Do you prefer hard, soft, sticky, or crispy texture? Do you like cakes, biscuits, bread, or pure fruit? Or something beautiful and exquisite in appearance?" Qi Huan continued to ask, biting the fork, thinking about the list of various desserts in his mind.
"Huh?" Are there so many particularities about desserts? Shen was also confused by his question, "You may have to ask our boss such a detailed question."
Where can I ask now that everyone has left? Qi Huan looked up at the sky speechlessly, and suddenly remembered the account called Fierce Beast A. He quickly opened his personal terminal, and the ID of Fierce Beast A was actually lit!
[Hello, I'm Qi Huan. I heard that your soul beast likes desserts, so I want to make some for it tonight. Do you know its specific taste? ]
The first time Qi Huan sent a message to Si Han, he was inexplicably nervous. He bit the fork and chose his words carefully, the handle of the fork also shaking up and down lively according to his thoughts.
After two or three minutes of deleting and cutting, I finally sent a standard message.
When he looked up again, he saw Chen Ye, who was sitting opposite him, staring at him, his round eyes full of dissatisfaction.
"What's wrong?" Qi Huan took another bite of noodles.
"You just care about what the boss likes to eat!" Shen Ye knocked on the table depressedly to fight for his rights. He had been waiting for a long time, but Qi Huan didn't ask him at all.
"We humans have a saying, 'The one who is close to the water gets the moon first.'" Qi Huan's eyes were filled with smiles, like two crescent moons with soft curves. "You can go directly to the food store with me to pick out the ingredients and order food on the spot. It's more convenient than them."
"Yes!" Chen Ye's eyes lit up and he was immediately 'comforted'.
[It is not a very picky eater. If I have to say, its taste is probably closer to that of a baby animal, and it likes desserts with a stronger milk flavor.]
While the two were talking, a reply message popped up.
"What did the boss say?" Shen Ye's face was full of gossip.
"He said Xiaoba is not picky about food. If he has to say, he probably prefers something with a stronger milky taste." Qi Huan repeated the content of the message and quickly screened through his dessert list. He decided to make ice cream for Xiaoba tonight. It would be a good time to make desserts for the live broadcast tomorrow, so he decided to make tiramisu to see which flavor he likes better.
"Do you think I should ask him what he wants to eat?" Qi Huan hesitated and turned to seek Shen Ye's opinion.
"No need. Things belong to their owners. If Xiaoba likes it, the boss will definitely like it too." Chen Ye touched his chin with a mischievous smile on his lips.
Qi Huan: ???
Why do I feel that Shen Ye’s smile is creepy?
After breakfast, Qi Huan handed the restaurant over to the robot bear butler to clean up. He sat at the cashier counter and drew up a list of ingredients, including the stock for tonight's business, the experimental ingredients for the next live broadcast, the spices and crabs needed for the crab roe sauce, the coffee and cocoa powder needed for tiramisu, and the curry chicken that Shen Ye wanted to eat. It took nearly two pages to list.
There was basically no one at the lunch market these days, and the unloading yard was busy, so Qi Huan simply decided to cancel the lunch market temporarily and go over to help after the morning market.
Chen Ye was just about to go to the Tongling Hall, so he sent him to the food store on the way, and made an appointment to pick him up in the evening. After being "knocked" by Si Han, he seemed ready to be inseparable.
"Another friend of yours?" Boss Wan poked his head out and glanced at the back of the airship. How come Xiao Huan has so many friends in the hunting team?
“Yeah.” A smile appeared in Qi Huan’s eyes. He was lucky to have friends like Chen Ye and Si Han.
"Uncle Wan, this is today's shopping list, thank you for your help." Qi Huan took out the list he had prepared before going out. Many times he was glad that he decided to work in the food store. He bought a lot of things, not to mention that they were not in large quantities. Other food stores probably didn't bother to pay attention to him, but Boss Wan and Aunt Wan would help him pick the best goods and keep them.
"You want to order square crabs?" Boss Wan was a little surprised when he saw the row of small crabs specially marked as weighing about 400 to 500 grams.
"A very good friend of mine didn't eat enough last time, so he asked me to make some more for him."
"Why don't you just make more?" Boss Wan stroked his beard. "After I gave away those cans last time, they all asked me if they wanted to buy some."
"Okay. Then let's order four hundred." Qi Huan added another hundred to the original quantity.
"Leave it to Uncle Wan." Boss Wan agreed with a smile, and then said, "Ah Huan, is your restaurant busy recently? There is a job that can make money quickly. I wonder if you are willing to take it?"
"Of course I am willing." Qi Huan responded immediately. He really loved doing jobs that could make money.
"The private club on the sixth floor of the Tongling Hall is Tianfeng Pavilion, you know it," Boss Wan pulled Qi Huan to sit on a chair next to him, "Lord Xing will entertain distinguished guests in a few days, and I want to find someone to make some fresh and unique dishes. One dish costs 500 silver coins, and one dessert costs 300. The cost of ingredients and rewards are not included."
"No problem!" Qi Huan rubbed his hands, eager to give it a try. The chance to kill the Star Lord had come!
