Chapter 42 Disinfection
Chen Ye propped his arm on the table, half of his body leaned over, and used a voice like a horror movie narration to deliberately scare him, "The people imprisoned there are all sentries, they are extremely vicious, especially bloodthirsty and dangerous."
"Be careful, don't spit saliva into the food." Qi Huan pushed Shen Ye back in disdain. He was indeed a little surprised, but he had watched countless movies with Zhang Chi and had long been immune to this kind of breath sound. After hearing it, he was pulled back to his senses.
Shooting himself in the foot, Shen Ye's teasing expression froze on his face.
Si Han, who was watching the fire from the other side of the river, showed a faint smile in his eyes, like a fish swimming in a clear stream, fleeting.
"Is he lying to me?" Qi Huan turned to Si Han for confirmation.
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm still here!" Chen Ye covered his chest, looking heartbroken as if his trust had collapsed. "I swear to God, I didn't tell a single lie."
"I didn't lie, but I told half the truth." Si Han exposed it mercilessly.
In other words, he left half of the sentence unsaid to deliberately mislead people. Qi Huan quickly understood the meaning of Si Han's words.
"Boss, you are so mean. How can you destroy my stage and deprive me of my fun?" Shen Ye glared.
"You mean, you're making fun of me?" Qi Huan crossed his arms, raised his chin, and glanced at him with his beautiful lower eyelids. "Tomorrow's chicken stewed with potatoes, the day after tomorrow's chicken wings stuffed with shrimps, and the day after tomorrow's teriyaki chicken legs, all canceled."
"Master Chef, I was wrong!" Chen Ye, whose life was held in the palm of his hand, quickly slid to his knees, with three fingers raised vertically to the sky, "I confess, everything. Base 99 is actually a sentinel sanatorium, and the people living there are all sentinels with mental problems."
"Recuperation on Waste Star?" No wonder they live in a villa. Qi Huan finally understood the meaning of the address. But shouldn't sanatoriums be built in places with picturesque scenery, birdsong, and flowers, which are full of forest phytoncides and easy to relax people? How can it be considered recuperation to blow sand on Waste Star?
"Place them on the abandoned planet. First, this was originally a gemstone mining base. Although the easily mined ones on the surface have been dug out, there are still a lot of ore bodies underground. The natural energy value of the environment is relatively high, which is very comfortable for the sentinels. Second, it is convenient for them to beat stone beasts to vent their energy when they feel itchy. Third, this place is far away from human habitation, which can minimize the possibility of the sentinels going berserk and hurting people when the scene collapses."
Qi Huan: ...
In other words, for them, the Waste Planet is really a place where it is easy to relax.
"Then why did you say it was a prison?"
"Because people who live in it usually can't get out." A hint of sadness flashed across Chen Ye's face, and he quickly glanced at Si Han, "So we Sentinels jokingly call this kind of waste star sanatorium a 'prison'."
After a while of no response, the other party sent another message, [Where is the person? Can you pick up the phone? ]
[Sorry, the takeaways I deliver here are delivered by unmanned cargo robots. We cannot guarantee safety and positioning accuracy outside the base, so the range is limited to the interior of Base No. 3. We really cannot deliver outside.]
There was silence for a moment. [Can you take me to the gate of the base?]
[The door is OK. I'm very close to the west gate of the base. ]
[Then let me order a few dishes first, and you can deliver them to the west gate at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning, and I'll arrange for someone to pick them up, is that okay? ]
[It would be best if they could arrive at 10:30] Qi Huan calculated the time after the morning market closed and suggested that they order earlier. Although he didn't understand why the person he arranged didn't come directly to the store to pick it up if he could go to the west gate, he didn't ask about this issue in the end.
【Okay, half past ten.】
The man quickly selected five dishes, four of which were the favorites of Vino's owner. It was obvious who introduced them.
There were two main dishes that took a lot of time to prepare, so Qi Huan got up a little earlier on purpose. When he was washing up, he suddenly saw a strand of white hair. He was startled, and after looking carefully, he realized that it seemed to be because of the light.
At 10:25 am, Qi Huan arrived at the west gate of the base in Shen Ye's airship. He originally wanted to come by himself, but Shen Ye refused and insisted on accompanying him.
After leaving the base gate, the heat wave hit him, and the temperature suddenly rose by 20 to 30 degrees. Qi Huan felt as if all the moisture in his body was instantly drained away, and his exposed skin suddenly tightened. Shen Ye saw that he was uncomfortable, so he quickly closed the window.
A few seconds later, a strong wind carrying sand and dust came towards us, making the windows rattle.
Only then did Qi Huan realize that the protective shield of the base still had many uses. At least the temperature and wind were much gentler than outside.
About a hundred meters away from the base gate, a fully shielded silver airship was parked quietly. Its shape was like a bullet, with a pointed front and a flat back. There were two cross-shaped lines like ribbons on the front cabin. If you look closely, they are actually two lines of text, which read [Base No. 99 on the Abandoned Planet No. 7 in the First Star Domain] and [Cheli First Spiritual Image Healing Center].
Qi Huan compared the picture sent by the customer in the morning and confirmed that it was the person sent by the other party to receive the meal, and signaled Shen Ye to stop over.
The window on one side of the airship was lowered, and sitting in the driver's seat was a flaxen-haired woman. She wore large sunglasses that covered half of her face, and the light green coat she wore was very similar to the one worn by the doctor Qi Huan had seen in the medical area of the base.
"This way." The woman hooked her finger at Qi Huan, the bright red nail polish on her fingertips gleaming domineeringly in the sunlight.
Seeing that the other party was a B-level guide, out of courtesy that sentinels should not arbitrarily infringe upon the personal territory of guides, Shen did not get off the airship, but just watched the surroundings with vigilance. Qi Huan got off the airship, walked over quickly with the takeaway box, and said politely and cautiously, "Excuse me, could you please tell me the address for the takeaway order?"
The woman's red lips curved slightly, and she looked Qi Huan up and down with interest, "Villa 2, Base 99."
"Here are the five dishes on the list plus two servings of rice and two sets of tableware..." Qi Huan was halfway through his words when another gust of wind blew by, roughly blowing sand all over his body.
"Puh~" Qi Huan quickly turned his head and spat out the few grains of sand that had entered his mouth. He rubbed his cheek that was hurt by the beating and tried hard to tidy up his appearance.
"I'm sorry." He smiled apologetically at the woman and handed the takeaway box to her politely. "Thank you for your help."
The woman took the lunch box and pointed at Qi Huan's cheek with her white finger.
Qi Huan thought she was reminding him that he hadn't cleaned up the sand yet, so he randomly tapped the place she pointed twice.
The woman smiled, shook her head, and hooked her finger at Qi Huan, motioning him to come closer.
Is there something else on my face? Qi Huan subconsciously followed her movements and took another half step towards the boat window.
The woman gently lifted his chin with the tip of her index finger, "My dear, you are as cute as in my dreams."
A red snake as thick as a finger scurried out from the woman's sleeve like lightning, hooked its tail around Qi Huan's neck, and licked his right cheek passionately several times.
The cold touch on his cheek made Qi Huan stunned. Wait, what just happened?
He was taken advantage of by a snake?
The last time I was kissed on the face like this was probably when I was five years old.
The moment the woman stretched out her hand, Shen Ye wanted to jump out of the airship and rush over, but after discovering that her spiritual body had kissed Qi Huan, Shen Ye was also stunned.
"Little friend, since you are so cute, I will give you a piece of advice. Your luck is not very good today, so be careful." The woman threw a purse over and took back the reluctant little snake. The silver airship suddenly took off from the ground and flew away.
On the way back to the restaurant, Qi Huan kept wiping his face hard, making his right cheek red.
"Okay." Shen Ye parked the airship at the entrance of the restaurant, looked at Qi Huan's right face, and raised the corners of his lips mischievously, "If you are really worried, I will give you another kiss to disinfect it."
After saying that, he pretended to kiss Qi Huan's cheek.
"Get out!" Qi Huan pushed him away mercilessly and got off the airship neatly.
"It's done if you just did that." Shen Ye laughed and smoothed his messed up hair.
Qi Huan: ...
You think I don’t want to, but that means I haven’t reacted yet!
Qi Huan had been busy at the unloading yard for a long time and was about to get off work when Tao Zhe and Shen Ye came over with a trailer of stone beasts.
A B-level spotted beast, a C-level spotted beast, and three other C-level stone beasts.
Wan Lao Er and Lao Wu were stunned when they saw the stone beasts in the bucket. Four C-level beasts and one B-level beast!
What a huge order this is!
"Don't worry, let's dismantle this B-level beast first today, and the remaining C-level ones can be dealt with later." Shen Ye patted the B-level spotted beast.
"Okay, okay, no problem." Wan Laoer nodded in agreement.
"By the way, the meat of the spotted beast also needs to be kept. He has the final say on which piece to keep." Shen Ye pointed at Qi Huan and added.
Wan Laoer then realized that the two people in front of him were Qi Huan’s friends!
What kind of friends are those gods that Qi Huan knows! They just start with a C-level stone beast!
Qi Huan deliberately stayed overtime and disassembled the B-level spotted beast with Lao Wu. Except for the beast core, the two of them carefully shaved off all the bones and flesh as they usually did when disassembling other beast meat.
It was already 8:30 when they finished work, and it was too late to open the restaurant for dinner, so Qi Huan simply started preparing for the evening live broadcast.
The dish he is going to make today is Shanhaidou, which comes from the book "Shan Jia Qing Gong". According to the records in the book, the main ingredients are spring bamboo shoots, young ferns, fresh fish and shrimps. These four are the most delicious flavors from the mountains and the sea.
There has always been controversy about whether this dish is called "geng" or "dou". Qi Huan did find two versions at the beginning. The main difference is whether the rice noodle skin is added to the soup in the end, or the filling made of four ingredients is wrapped with rice noodle skin and then steamed.
Since Douzi was a popular snack during the Song Dynasty, many Douzi that appeared on the streets of Bianliang and Lin'an were recorded in books such as "Qingyi Lu", "Dongjing Menghua Lu", and "Ducheng Jisheng", such as "Nirvana Douzi", "Fish Douzi", "Cassia Douzi", and "Four-color Douzi". Qi Huan personally prefers the version that is wrapped and steamed and finally shaped like a "dou", so he chose this version for the reproduction.
Although both have a thin outer skin and stuffing inside, there are three major differences between douzi and dumplings.
One is that the filling is only cut into granular cubes, and does not need to be minced. The ingredients that are not easy to cook need to be blanched or pre-cooked.
The second outer skin is translucent mung bean powder skin.
The third is the production method. Douzi usually needs to be shaped with the help of an open hat-shaped bowl. First, spread the rice paper along the bowl, then put the cut and seasoned fillings at the bottom, fold the four corners of the rice paper back to cover the fillings. After it is done, turn it upside down, and it will present a round top and flat bottom. After steaming, it looks like the helmet of an ancient warrior. It is said that this is also the origin of the name of the snack Douzi.
Before the broadcast started, he checked his fans as usual, and there were 400 of them. The speed of increasing his fans was much higher than the average of new anchors, but the number of loyal fans remained the same, still 7.
487 tiramisu on the shelf have been sold. Qi Huan looked at the number of fans and then the sales number. He was not sure whether the difference was due to the appearance of a big customer or because many people just liked to buy quietly instead of paying attention, so he went to the backstage and front desk to check again.
After looking at the data, it turned out that the anonymous big customer had appeared again. This time he bid for fifty copies and one hundred copies at a time. Many people also bid for three or five copies.
Back to the front desk, he saw a black "banned" sign on the "cover" of the live broadcast room that he had not noticed before. If he clicked on it, he could see the time and reason why his last live broadcast was banned.
The explanation given by the robot customer service is that the platform needs to be responsible for the live broadcast viewers and issue warnings. If his personal credit score can reach 60 points, or he submits proof that he has no intention of violating the prohibited behavior, the warning can be revoked immediately. Otherwise, it will need to be posted for a full 30 days.
Qi Huan was speechless. If you want to know how much of an impact this awful thing has, it doesn't seem to have from the growth rate of the number of fans, but it is annoying. He had been thinking about whether he could find some means of pushing the flow recently to increase the speed of fans, but with this thing, he always felt that the more fans he had, the more embarrassing it was. In addition, the number of original flavors on the shelves is limited to 500, and no matter how many fans he has, he can't sell more, so he quietly postponed the plan of finding a way to push the flow.
The live broadcast started as usual. Qi Huan introduced the name of Shanhaidou, its general taste and the ingredients needed. Then he started to make mung bean vermicelli with mung bean powder and water.
【The disconnected anchor is online! 】
[Hahaha, what a magical character setting]
[Don’t talk nonsense, he didn’t lose connection last time]
[Opening, bet 5 silver coins, the anchor will be disconnected again today]
【+1】
[I bet 10 silver coins that the anchor will not be offline today]
"It's not a character setting, it's just an unexpected situation." Seeing that everyone in the comments was talking about the disconnection problem, Qi Huan explained while spinning the plate in his hand to spread the batter evenly, "You all know the first time, my apron accidentally opened, and the system automatically determined that it was a violation and banned. The second time was when a friend brought a pet over, and the signal device was accidentally stepped on by it, and it didn't fall off the last time, right? In short, the first two times were actually accidents."
[That's pretty amazing, the accidents are different every time]
【I finally bought something on the shelf, I'm touched.】
[That thing is ugly, but it tastes really good]
[This method of making vermicelli is very special]
[Where on earth did the host get all these weird recipes? I haven’t seen them in the restaurant of Four Star Chef]
[It's probably a family heirloom.]
[A waste star has a star chef family? 】
[There are only a few celebrity chefs in the family. Although the recipes cannot be passed on, there must be people who know their names and have eaten their food. I have never heard of what he made.]
[What's so strange about that? Maybe he is a genius, self-taught. There are mecha geniuses and technological prodigies, so why can't there be a star chef genius? ]
While everyone was arguing, Qi Huan had already prepared a pile of rice noodles and started to cut bamboo shoots, ferns, fish and shrimp for the filling. These ingredients were all the freshest, so the seasoning was very light. Except for the necessary fishy smell, the original flavor of the ingredients was basically used. Based on his observation of the taste preferences of each hunting team, he also deliberately added some beast meat and spotted beast fat to enhance the flavor.
The blanched ingredients not only remove the astringency but also cook faster. Before long, five trays of freshly baked Shanhaidou were ready.
The rice noodle skin is crystal clear, half-hidden and half-transparent, revealing the colorful fillings inside.
Qi Huan used a knife and fork to demonstratively cut one in front of the camera. Wisps of hot steam rose up, and the yellow bamboo shoots, green ferns, white fish, pink shrimp and red animal meat were brightly colored. The juice that seeped out from the fillings gathered on the rice paper at the bottom, forming dots of fat, which was fresh, shiny and fragrant.
[Wow, it looks delicious]
[Put it on the shelves, put it on the shelves quickly, I am ready]
[It’s coming soon, I can’t stop drooling! 】
[Oh my god, why does it look so delicious! ]
[It would be nice if I could try the real thing someday]
【+1】
"The price of Shanhaidou is 149 silver coins, the same as last time, still 500 pieces." Seeing the collector signal light on, Qi Huan skillfully operated it and put it on the shelf.
"Then our live broadcast today ends here. The day after tomorrow... sizzle... at nine o'clock in the evening... sizzle... see you there."
The live broadcast screen was intermittent and mixed with noise. It lasted until Qi Huan said the last word "goodbye", and the screen finally went completely black.
[What happened in the last few seconds? Was the signal bad? ]
[The signal from the waste star seems to have problems from time to time]
[It dropped three out of four times, hahahahahahahahahaha, absolutely amazing!!! !!! !!! !!! 】
[To be fair, it was not considered disconnection, the broadcast was completed normally. ]
[My requirements are not high, as long as it does not affect the rush to buy things on the shelves]
On the abandoned planet No. 7, Qi Huan was looking out the window in silence.
Above the transparent protective cover of the base, pieces of silver light were exploding one after another.
Photomagnetic storm.
