Chapter 90: The Heroes of the World
Qi Huan really wanted to grab the man by the collar and pull him up to question him. He stretched out his hand closer, but he just couldn't bring himself to touch that handsome face with a calm breath. In the end, he lightly rubbed the delicate and intricate embroidery pattern on the man's collar with the back of his finger, and then silently gave in.
Qi Huan, you are a loser.
He sighed, secretly despising himself, but couldn't help but be obsessed with that handsome face.
It's so beautiful! Who can bear to destroy such a face?
After staring at that face for a while, Qi Huan said unwillingly, "We agreed that the main body is responsible for all matters concerning the spirit body. Since Xiao Ba kissed me today, you, the main body, must be responsible."
He paused, smiled slyly, and poked the button on Jiufang Yu's chest, "Of course, I am a fair person, absolutely not double-standard. Jiujiu has kissed you, and I will be responsible for you."
The early morning sunlight penetrated the window, casting several square spots of light on the carpet in the living room. When Jiufang Yu opened his eyes, several members of the Ferocious Beast Squad were sitting around the sofa.
Seeing him wake up, the four of them stood up in unison, all with their heads hung in guilt.
Jiufang Yu sat up, still feeling dizzy. He rubbed his forehead while thinking about what happened last night. Halfway through, his slender fingers suddenly paused and he lowered his eyes to glance at the blue blanket on his body.
"Boss, I'm sorry. It was all my fault yesterday. I shouldn't have gone and talked nonsense to Huanhuan." Chen Ye quickly admitted his mistake, not daring to look at his expression.
"Forget it." Jiufang Yu sighed lightly, staring at the thumb and index finger of his right hand, a faint smile appeared in his eyes, "It's not all bad."
Everyone looked at each other, confused as to what he meant.
"Boss, the Jiufang family's starship will arrive at the port in an hour." Xu Zhi reported to him the news that the secretary had previously passed on.
"Well, go get ready. I'll take a shower and change my clothes. We'll leave in half an hour."
When Qi Huan walked in with breakfast, he saw Hei Tuanzi lying on the cushion of the sofa. When he saw Qi Huan, he just wagged his tail happily but didn't pounce on him. It was obvious that he was still not feeling well.
Jiufang Yu was leaning against the table, wiping his hair with a large towel while looking at a postcard. The white silk with gold patterns adorned his body like morning sunshine, revealing his smooth collarbone and firm chest. His half-wet silver hair hung loosely and messily in front of him, lush and shiny.
It was rare to see Jiufang Yu looking so relaxed and lazy. Qi Huan couldn't take his eyes away for a moment, and it took him a while to see clearly what he was holding in his hand.
"That's mine!" Qi Huan quickly put down the tray and snatched the thing back from him.
"Tang Si's signature?" Jiufang Yu's long frosty eyebrows were still moist. The roots of his eyebrows were distinct, but the tips gathered together. When they were slightly raised, they looked inexplicably sexy.
"Diwu Yuan asked for it for me." Qi Huan quickly put the things into the storage bag with a guilty conscience.
"Oh." Jiufang Yu walked to the coffee table and sat down.
"Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Qi Huan deliberately changed the subject.
"I still feel dizzy." Jiufang Yu answered truthfully.
A drop of water slid down the strands of hair on his temples and dripped onto the fair skin on his chest, leaving a wet and shiny water mark.
This scene was too much for a hot-blooded boy this early in the morning. Qi Huan looked away uncomfortably and looked around in a pretentious manner, "Where are they?"
Thinking that Shen Ye and the others were still there, he specially brought over seven breakfasts.
"Let's prepare for the ship pick-up later." Jiufang Yu took a bowl of porridge and gently scooped a spoonful. The porridge in the spoon was as white as jade, but it seemed a little too thick compared to ordinary porridge.
"What is this?" Jiufang Yu didn't think that Qi Huan had overcooked the porridge, so it should be a special kind of porridge.
"There's nothing like this in the world, Dongpo Jade Millet Soup." Qi Huan raised his chin with a little pride.
Because of the origin of his name, he has had a natural liking and special attention to Su Dongpo since he was a child, and he knows all the famous dishes related to him like the back of his hand.
This famous gourmet in history loved to eat but was not particular about rare and luxurious ingredients. If artists have eyes that are good at discovering beauty, then Mr. Dongpo obviously had a tongue that was good at discovering delicacies. He dug out the deliciousness of countless simple ingredients and left behind dozens of delicacies such as Dongpo Pork, Dongpo Fish, Dongpo Tofu, and Dongpo Spring Dove Slices. Dongpo Jade Millet Soup can probably be regarded as one of the simplest yet most highly praised dishes.
It is said that when he was exiled to Lingnan, there was very little rice in the area. His son Su Guo had an idea and mixed chopped yam with broken rice to make porridge, thus making this Yumian soup. After tasting it, Su Shi praised it as "the only taste in the world like this", and wrote a seven-character quatrain with a title of more than 30 characters. From then on, Dongpo Yumian soup and this poem became famous through the ages.
There is another version of Yumian Soup in Shan Jia Qing Gong, which says that Su Shi and his brother Su Zhe were researching side dishes after drinking, grinding radish and broken rice into flour.
Qi Huan personally prefers the taste of boiled yam, and yam can also relieve stomach discomfort after drinking, so he specially cooked this Dongpo Yumian Soup for everyone in the morning.
Jiufang Yu took a sip. It was warm and soft, loose and sticky, yet extremely fresh and refreshing. It flowed down his throat, gently removing the aftertaste of the remaining wine, making him feel comfortable and relaxed. "It really tastes great."
"If you think it's too bland, you can have some side dishes with it." Qi Huan sent a message to Shen Ye and pushed the other side dishes to Jiu Fangyu. He fried some meat and melon, and prepared some side dishes such as fermented bean curd, fried silver fish, and spiced beans. Since he didn't have time to make buns, he made a more convenient and quick French egg salad toast.
Jiufang Yu picked up a few five-spice beans, and Qi Huan put some fried silver fish and minced animal meat into Zhouqiba's bowl of soup.
The recipe for the dish was pheasant and melon minced meat. He first knew about this dish in Dream of the Red Chamber. When he was a child, he liked to read the Dream of the Red Chamber the most. This dish of pheasant and melon minced meat was prepared by Baoyu one morning when he was in a hurry to go out and soaked rice with tea. The recipe was not written in the book, and he found the recipe for this dish in Diaoding Ji many years later.
Gua ci is actually pickled melon. Pheasant Gua ci is made by removing bones and skin from pheasant meat, cutting it into dices, and then stir-frying it in a pan with pickled melon, winter bamboo shoots, pine nuts, sweet sauce and other auxiliary ingredients. The animal meat is tender and chewy, and the melon bamboo shoots and pine nuts are crisp and sweet. The taste is rich, salty, fresh and sweet when chewed. In terms of ingredients and taste, it is very much like a high-end version of Kung Pao Chicken.
As expected, Hei Tuanzi preferred the meat-based dishes. He ate up all the meat and melon in the bowl like a whirlwind, then raised his amber eyes and looked at Qi Huan expectantly.
Qi Huan, who was biting into French egg salad toast, understood and gave him two more spoonfuls.
The little guy immediately buried his head in eating again.
"I will take care of the Yao family's guide, don't worry." Jiufang Yu, who was drinking jade millet soup, suddenly spoke.
Qi Huan chewed the toast and uttered a vague "hmm".
He figured it out last night. With Jiufang Yu's personality, if he really had a crush on him, he would have handled the matter quietly and not gotten himself into any trouble. This person always did more than he said.
Qi Qing actually has this kind of personality. When her parents had an accident, she silently took on the responsibility of the whole family and worked hard to take care of herself, but she did more and said less. She only told him that she would take care of everything at home and not to worry. In those years, his sister and grandparents did their best to protect him. At that time, he was young and could not do anything else, so he could only learn to cook with his grandmother in different ways, hoping to make his sister eat more comfortably in the future.
"Can I help you with anything?"
Jiufang Yu thought for two seconds with his eyes drooping. "Make some delicious noodles tonight?"
"Braised bone noodles?" Qi Huan subconsciously thought of Jiu Fangyu's answer to a question yesterday.
"It's better to use better ingredients." Jiufang Yu seemed to know what he remembered, and his ears were slightly red. "I heard that Elder Jiufang Jin, who accompanied the guide, likes noodles very much. People like them usually only eat high-quality ingredients, so they definitely can't stand things like animal tails and animal feet. There's no need to entertain them too grandly, but it's also not appropriate to let people find too much fault with them."
"I understand. Leave it to me." Qi Huan made an OK gesture.
The sunlight passed through his round and slender fingers, and a few bright rays leaked through the gaps between his fingers, shaking Jiufang Yu's heart.
"Bang!" The door suddenly opened hastily, breaking the silence in the room.
Kong Hu stopped and looked at Jiufang Yu and Qi Huan who were sitting opposite him, wondering whether he should go in.
"Come to get breakfast? Why are you standing there? Come in." Qi Huan called him and pointed to the four portions on the tray next to him. Judging from the time, Shen Ye should have asked him to come after receiving the news.
Kong Hu picked up the tray and ran out again.
"Be careful not to fall."
Before Qi Huan finished his words, Kong Hu had already run out the door. He wordlessly took a big bite of the sandwich in his hand and complained silently, what is he afraid of? Is there a ghost in the house or a man-eating monster?
As a result, my arm was rubbed, and when I looked down, it was Zhou Ba.
Well, there is indeed a cute beast in the house that is not shy about eating humans.
Hei Tuanzi had just finished the cornmeal soup and meat and melon in his bowl. Seeing Qi Huan enjoying the sandwich so much, he became envious and wanted to try some too.
Qi Huan picked up the other half of the plate and handed it to Hei Tuanzi.
He used to dislike hard-boiled eggs because they were too dry and choked his throat. But this French egg salad completely changed his view of hard-boiled eggs. The method is also simple. Crush the hard-boiled eggs, add slightly sweet salad dressing and mix well. You will immediately get an egg salad with rich egg flavor and moist and tender taste. Add two slices of toast and you will have a breakfast with rich taste and nutrition. Just a few bites can fill you with energy for the whole day.
Zhouqiba took a bite, his eyes sparkling, and he wolfed down the rest of the sandwich. Qi Huan looked at Heituanzi, who was eating hard, and then at Jiufangyu, who was drinking the jade rice soup leisurely, and shook his head helplessly, thinking that it would be great if the appetites of these two could be balanced.
Jiufang Yu and the others went to pick up the starship. Qi Huan had nothing to do, so he was thinking about the menu for dinner in the room. It didn't have to be too grand, but at least he had to have one or two unique skills to hold the fort.
The little white ball sat on the teacup lid next to him, looking like he was also thinking.
"Huanhuan!" Diwuyuan knocked on the door.
Qi Huan went over to open the door. Diwuyuan winked at him and said, "Do you want to see the situation at the starship yard?"
Qi Huan: ???
Diwuyuan dragged him to the sofa, quickly opened his tri-fold screen personal terminal, tapped the keyboard a few times, and then unlocked the privacy shield. A huge U-shaped building suddenly appeared on the screen, which was the starship yard of the abandoned planet.
The young master knocked a few more times, and the camera switched to a channel entrance like a TV broadcast, where Jiufang Yu, his secretary and others were standing.
"I temporarily borrowed a few surveillance cameras over there." Seeing Qi Huan's puzzled face, Diwuyuan explained.
"Are we considered to be snooping into secrets?" Qi Huan vaguely felt that Diwu Yuan's behavior was "overstepping the line".
"It's okay. Jiufang Yu asked Kong Hu to open the system permissions of Feixing to me. This means that I can take over the public local area system in an emergency." Of course, not opening it up can't stop him. It just takes a little more time.
Qi Huan: ...
That's not an 'emergency' like the current one, right?
"It's just to see which guy from the Yao family has a 90% match with Jiufang Yu. It's no big deal." The Fifth Family, Yao Family and Jiufang Family belong to the same small camp, so the relationship is naturally good. Although a step late, the Fifth Wei also learned this morning that there was a guide from the Yao family in the starship. Only then did the Fifth Yuan come over in a hurry, wanting to drag Qi Huan to watch the 'live broadcast' together.
"Do you know the guide from the Yao family?"
"It's possible." Diwuyuan nodded. "I used to hang out with the Yao family a lot. I'm pretty familiar with a few of them."
"What are the people in the Yao family like?" Qi Huan hugged a cushion curiously and sat down next to Diwuyuan. Jiujiu jumped onto his shoulder and looked at Jiufangyu's tall and straight back happily.
"Hmm..." The young master was silent for a few seconds, as if he was thinking of the right words, "rich and powerful."
Qi Huan raised his eyebrows in surprise. How rich must one be to make Diwu Yuan say the four words "wealthy and powerful"?
"Here it comes!" Diwu Yuan, who was staring at the display screen, found that the channel door was opened, and quickly patted Qi Huan.
The first to come out were two rows of guards in dark green uniforms. Each of them wore leather half-boots, carried a shiny new ray gun, and wore the same rectangular silver goggles on their heads. They looked heroic, like the Star Rangers.
There were as many as two or three hundred guards, standing densely on both sides of the channel, stretching all the way to the airship.
After standing still, they almost simultaneously had a lightsaber-like stick emitting green light in their hands.
"Oh my God, it's him!" Before Qi Huan could figure out what those things were, Diwuyuan next to him screamed and covered his face.
"Who is it?" Didn't the person come out yet? Qi Huan looked at the empty passage in confusion.
The next moment, the 'light sabers' in the hands of the guards 'swish' emitted green light to both sides, connecting into a piece, and then quickly spreading upwards, blending with the green light on the opposite side, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a corridor-shaped green light shield.
The figures of Jiufang Yu and others disappeared in the green light channel in an instant.
Qi Huan: ...
Could this thing be specifically designed to prevent people like them from watching the 'live broadcast' through the camera?
"No, this is a temporary protective shield. That pretentious guy Yao Yao must have used it to protect against the wind and sand after hearing that there is a lot of wind and sand on the Waste Planet." Diwuyuan saw Qi Huan's confusion and explained, covering half of his face as if he had a toothache.
"Yaoyao?" So many people were specially used to build a temporary protective shield to prevent sandstorms? Qi Huan took a deep breath and vaguely understood what Diwu Yuan meant by "wealthy and powerful".
"Yao, the 'Yao' of the youngest. He is the youngest child of the direct lineage of the Yao family and should have just reached adulthood this year. He has been living a life of luxury since childhood and has never had to worry about anything. He is doted on and can do whatever he wants, so he is particularly unreliable." Diwuyuan is obviously much younger than others, but he speaks with the tone of an adult evaluating a child.
"Does unreliable mean acting recklessly or something like that?" Qi Huan asked uncertainly.
"Yes and no. His willful behavior is unusual." Diwuyuan's porcelain-white face twitched, as if there was something he couldn't say.
Qi Huan: ???
"He has a hobby," the young master frowned, sighed, and finally spoke with determination, "If he likes someone, he likes to make him his sworn brother."
Qi Huan:!!!
This hobby is a bit too strange.
"It doesn't seem to have any harm, right?" Thinking about it carefully, if he became sworn brothers, it didn't seem to cause any harm to others. Others might even be able to gain some benefits from him. After all, the Yao family was so rich.
"Of course not," Diwuyuan said angrily, his face flushed red. "He has a self-made list of heroes in the world, which lists all his sworn brothers according to their age. Do you know who is ranked first and the oldest one?"
Qi Huan: ???
The word 'what' means... not a human?
"The tree in their yard is over 3,600 years old!" Diwu Yuan gritted his teeth in hatred, "Who would recognize a tree as their big brother when they were three years old?"
Even if he climbed up the tree out of mischief and fell down while hanging on the branches, thinking that the tree saved him, that is not a reason to recognize a tree as a big brother, right?
Qi Huan was speechless and asked casually, "What about the youngest one?"
Diwuyuan pursed his lips in grievance and said nothing.
Wait, Qi Huan's mind raced, and he looked at the young master in surprise, "The youngest one, isn't it you?"
