Chapter 72 I won't allow anyone to disobey you
[Don't scare me, what's going on? ]
Qi Huan got so anxious that his leg hit the stool. The pain almost made him cry. He choked on the water and started coughing violently.
"Are you okay?" Several people who were eating the Golden Jade Egg Yolk Pastry turned their heads in unison.
"It's okay." Qi Huan waved to everyone, sat on the stool and rubbed his legs. He quickly recalled what had happened since they met. He couldn't think of anything that Rondo could have done to let him down and deserve such a solemn apology.
[When you left the base with the hunting team to go to the hunting area, I secretly went back to the human restaurant and took something away.]
[What?] Qi Huan was so anxious that he almost died of anxiety. He couldn't figure out what Rondo was talking about no matter how hard he tried.
It seems that he didn't feel that he had lost anything. A family heirloom? I didn't see the original owner mentioning that there were treasures in the family in the diary. Besides, the family owed so much debt. If there were any valuable things, Uncle Lin Sen would have exchanged them for money when he was seriously ill. So what kind of commemorative significance is this? Rondo would be interested. Could it be Uncle Lin Sen's relics? Unfortunately, he was not the real original owner and had no idea what Uncle Lin Sen had originally.
[Yes, it is Master's Second Knife Chef Certificate.]
Oh, so that’s it.
Seeing this answer, Qi Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart slowly settled down. The chef certificate is usually hung in a place that can be seen at the entrance of the restaurant. When he didn't see Uncle Lin Sen's chef certificate at the Renjian Restaurant, he thought that the original owner had taken it to be buried with Uncle Lin Sen, and didn't think much about it. After all, the chef certificate is a real-name certificate for each person, and it can't be used by others.
【After Master passed away, the reputation of Renjian Restaurant took a sharp turn for the worse, and its rating dropped to the level of rotten eggs. At that time, I felt... that you were not worthy of inheriting his chef certificate, and I was the one who was truly qualified. I was obsessed with it for a while, so I... took Master's two-knife chef certificate and hid it. Later, you came back, lost your memory, and couldn't even use the kitchen utensils. I felt more at ease and thought that it should be in my hands. But during this period of time, I increasingly found that Master was right, and your future achievements would definitely surpass his, but I didn't know how to tell you about this. This time the base was destroyed, and I couldn't sleep well after I dug Master's chef certificate out of the ruins. After thinking about it, I still felt that I should return it to you. 】
Qi Huan wrote two replies, hesitated and deleted them both. Saying "it's okay" showed that he didn't care about Uncle Lin Sen enough, but he was afraid of making Londo uncomfortable if he said it was too deep. At least from his point of view, the moment when Londo stood up to guarantee him when Uncle Wan asked for the money owed at Wan's Food Store was really heartwarming, and it also showed that no matter how much he disliked the original owner for "slandering" his master's reputation, he still cared for the original owner.
[It turned out to be at your place. I thought it was lost and I had to look for it for a long time. No, when Renjian Restaurant reopens, you have to at least take some time to come and help me for a month as compensation.]
After much thought, it is more appropriate to give the other party a chance to "atone".
This thing may be of commemorative significance to the original owner and Rondo, but he is not the original owner after all. Relatively speaking, he even feels that the signboard of the Human Restaurant is more meaningful as a relic of Uncle Lin Sen. As long as the signboard is there, the Human Restaurant he opened will always be there.
[Okay, as long as you forgive me, two months is fine.]
[It's a deal then. No regrets.]
【I will never regret it.】
That should be enough. Qi Huan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Rondo's reply, then turned back to the other side of the long table and started working again.
Seeing that the time was almost up, he went to the freezer and took out the pork belly that had been frozen in the morning, and continued with the next step of the Wanfu meat: cutting.
Wanfu Meat, whose full name is Wanfu Meat of the Qing Palace, is one of the four famous imperial court dishes. Like Pagoda Meat, it requires delicate knife skills. The pork belly is cut layer by layer in the direction of the "卍" character along the edge, into thin and continuous slices of meat more than one meter long, and then rolled back to look like roses with stacked petals. Because it looks more beautiful and the side dishes include red dates, chestnuts and lotus seeds, it has the meaning of "early establishment of a child". It looks good, sounds auspicious, and is nutritious and delicious, so it is very popular among the concubines in the harem.
Its preparation method is more complicated than that of gourd chicken, requiring five steps: boiling, frying, stewing, steaming and braising.
In the morning, Qi Huan had boiled the selected stone beast pork belly until it was cooked through, and then cut it into fifteen square pieces of ten centimeters each according to the number of people. After frying the beast skin until bubbles appeared, he pressed it down with a heavy object and put it into the freezer.
The frozen meat becomes harder and easier to slice.
Following Wensi tofu, Qi Huan showed off another knife skill in front of the camera, which aroused countless wows in the barrage. This kind of cutting method cannot be achieved by machine.
When he picked up the third piece of meat, a large ball of gray-black smoke suddenly appeared in the distance. The smoke gathered and did not disperse. It had a strange shape and its color was sometimes thicker and sometimes thinner. When it got closer, it could be seen that it was a group of black insects rushing towards them quickly.
People on the barrage screamed and asked the anchor to run away.
Unfortunately, the person in front of the camera was concentrating on cutting the meat. He neither looked at the display screen nor noticed the danger coming from behind.
He didn't notice, but the shop owner and others across the street had already noticed something was wrong. Ah Luan immediately spread out a net to cover the area around the long table and the area where the starship was.
When Qi Huan was at the critical moment of "turning", he suddenly heard a buzzing sound in his ear. Subconsciously, he thought it was a wasp or something like that. He pulled out the eel nail from the kitchen utensil tube and threw it out in the direction of the sound.
"Bang!"
The 'wasp' was nailed to the pillar of the awning. It was a bug not much bigger than a bean, with a black red head and a grayish-white body and wings.
'Snap! ' 'Snap! ' 'Snap! '
Several wisps of blood mist burst out around the long table, and the remaining few insects were all killed. At the same time, No. 4 rushed towards the insect mist with a long-handled broadsword similar to the Mo Dao.
With a slash of the sword, a sharp wave of air rushed out, and a large area of the insect fog suddenly cleared up, and corpses fell like rain.
[Wow, this aura is at least that of a Level 2 Sentinel! ]
[So there are sentinels accompanying them. No wonder they dare to eat in such a place]
[The anchor was so handsome when he nailed the bug just now]
[Is the nail he used also a kitchen utensil? I have never seen it before.]
[These two swords were swung with great momentum, killing 50% of the people in the competitive fighting arena in seconds]
[Isn't this the Food Channel? Why are they bringing Sentinels to the show?]
[What a great place this is with food and sights to see]
[I looked it up, the bug is called the Wind Breathing Bug, and it is also a kind of stone beast. If there are as many of them as there are in front of us, if they fall on a person or other stone beast, they can gnaw them into bones in a few minutes.]
[As expected of a useless star, you can encounter deadly beasts every minute.]
The comments on the barrage were full of excitement, but Qi Huan was too busy to watch. By the time he had cut the fifteen pieces of meat and stewed them, No. 4 had also finished the battle triumphantly.
"Where have you been?" Qi Huan then noticed that No. 4 had left.
"Fight the Wind Breathing Beast to stretch your muscles." No. 4 made an exaggerated sword flower in a cool manner.
Wind Breathing Beast? Qi Huan glanced behind him and found a dense patch of them on the ground. Quan Hai had mentioned this thing to him before, and it seemed to be carnivorous, which meant that it might have good protein and nutrition?
"Bring some back and try frying some later to see how it tastes." Qi Huan said casually.
No. 4 stumbled and almost fell. What did he hear? Huan Huan even wanted to eat the Wind Breathing Beast?
【……】
[Use local materials, the anchor is really a ruthless person]
[Is this edible? ]
[This is the only dish I refuse to eat even if it’s made by the anchor]
【Stand in awe】
[If you really go to Waste Star in the future, remember to be polite when you see the host, otherwise the next dish may be you.]
There was the sound of an airship in the sky. The airship that Jiufang Yu and the medical team were riding on came back one after another. Diwuyuan leaned on the window and looked down. He saw that several pots and pans were steaming. It was obvious that they had not started eating yet. He felt relieved.
When everyone is here, it means that the feast is ready. Seeing them coming back, Qi Huan, who was frying animal tongue skewers, also speeded up. The main body of this dish is lamb tongue skewers, which is also a kind of skewered dish. The cooking method is basically the same as that of mantis shrimp skewers, except that the main ingredient in the skewers is replaced by animal tongue instead of crab claw meat.
When the animal tongue skewers were out of the oven, he also put the red silk glutinous rice dumplings into the pot in time. The so-called glutinous rice dumplings are actually noodles, which are the predecessors of noodles. The biggest difference between red silk glutinous rice dumplings and ordinary noodles is that minced shrimp is added to the noodles. The key is to eat the shrimp without seeing the shrimp.
Various new dishes were put on the shelves one after another, and the fifth long-distance starship was the first to come out after a brief repair.
The owner waved at him and handed him the plate of Golden Jade Egg Yolk Pastry.
The bench beside the table was a little too high for Diwuyuan's height, but he was nimble and sat down on the bench with a light jump.
Diwuyuan picked up an egg yolk pastry and took a light bite. The crumbs fell off, and the crispy outer skin unfolded layer by layer, like blooming petals. The soft and silky mochi gently wrapped the sweet, delicious and delicate bean paste inside like a cloud. As the sweetness spread, the crunchy and sticky salted egg yolk overflowed. The salty and sweet flavors intertwined and surged, colliding with an incomparable wonderful taste that swept across the mouth, leaving an endless aftertaste.
"It's delicious." The young master couldn't help but exclaim.
No. 2 and Qi Huan also pushed the crispy yellow croquettes and animal tongue skewers to No. 5 Yuan respectively, signaling him to have a taste.
The crispy yellow shell is slightly crispy, and the crushed nuts retain their granular texture. The high temperature during frying not only does not destroy the crisp taste of the nuts themselves, but also stimulates the original aroma inside, mixed with the delicate and soft taro inside, the aroma is rich and strong.
The outer layer of the animal tongue skewers is wrapped in net oil and is fluffy and soft after being fried. The oil will burst out when you bite it lightly. Combined with the refreshing and tough animal tongue inside, it is moist but not greasy, and fills your lips with sweet fragrance.
Diwuyuan happily swung his legs in the air and immediately felt that all the hard work for most of the day was worth it. If he had not come along, how could he have eaten so many delicious meals!
The little white hidden in his chest pocket also silently rolled up a few times, folded into a heart shape, and silently popped its head out and shook it towards Qi Huan.
The little guy's origami skills are quite impressive! Qi Huan, who was stirring the noodles, smiled and gave it a heart shape with his thumb and index finger.
Xiaobai shook his head, then shrank back shyly. Half a second later, he quietly popped his head out again.
At this time, Jiufang Yu also walked out of the starship. Qi Huan waved at him and took out two red silk dumplings, intending to let the star lord try the taste. After all, he was the one who liked shrimp the most here.
The cooked red silk steamed buns were shiny and soft, showing a beautiful red color. Jiufang Yu picked up the chopsticks gracefully and took a sip. The noodles were fresh and the soup was clear, with a refreshing flavor and a lingering aftertaste.
“Just right.”
When Jiufang Yu tasted the noodles, the barrage of comments had already exploded.
【Ahhhhhh! Handsome face critical hit! 】
[This hair, this face, how can there be such a beautiful face in the world! ]
[I can’t take it anymore, he’s so handsome that I forgot to breathe, please help me call the medical center! ]
[Move the camera further away, my heart can’t take it]
[After living for more than a hundred years, I now know what love at first sight is]
[The camera is so close, isn't the distance between the three of us a little too ambiguous? ]
[Is this handsome guy also a chef? What dishes can he cook? ]
[He doesn't have to do anything, I learn! I do it! Let me do anything for him! ]
[Anchor, who is this handsome guy? Please answer me.]
[Written in blood asking for the handsome guy’s name and address]
[Ahhh, I want to go to Feixing to meet him, no one is allowed to stop me! ]
[I want to go too. Does anyone know which starship route passes by where the anchor is?]
Jiufang Yu had noticed the live broadcast equipment before, but he thought it was a virtual image like before, so he didn't pay much attention to it. After he finished eating and glanced at the barrage, he realized something was wrong. He quickly lowered his eyelids and quietly left the camera range.
Qi Huan followed his gaze and looked at the barrage, only to see that the entire screen was filled with "prisoners" who were captured by Jiufang Yu's beauty.
Oops, I forgot that today's live broadcast was in real-life mode. Virtual stores use virtual images by default, while real-life live broadcasts use real images by default. He was used to the way virtual stores broadcast, and forgot to set it before turning on the machine. After he found out, he thought it was okay to broadcast with real images, so he didn't adjust it. But when he called Jiufang Yu over just now, he really forgot about it.
"Okay, it's time to start eating. The dishes introduced earlier are now on the shelves. Friends who are interested can take pictures and taste them according to their interests. Today's live broadcast will end here." Qi Huan said the closing remarks quickly and ended the live broadcast immediately.
The live broadcast room suddenly turned black again.
【Offline again? 】
[Ahhhhh, he hasn’t introduced who the handsome silver-haired guy is yet.]
[Why do I feel like the host ran away because he didn't want to introduce himself? ]
[This is too much. This stunningly handsome face is the shared property of the entire alliance. How can one person monopolize it? ]
"Are you okay showing up on the live broadcast?" Qi Huan nervously approached Jiufang Yu and asked in a low voice. After all, the children of noble families all pay great attention to their personal privacy. He now knows why Jiufang Yu wore a mask before. This face can cause a commotion as soon as it appears.
"It's okay. They don't know who I am. Just ask Diwuyuan to help clean up and delete the background later." Jiufang Yu said.
Qi Huan was relieved and went around to the other side of the table to ask Diwuyuan for help. The young master agreed to his request under the temptation of the five dishes.
"Everyone, get ready. We'll officially start the meal in ten minutes." Qi Huan cleared his throat and announced.
No. 2, No. 4 and others had already been attracted by the aroma. When they heard that the banquet was about to start, they immediately volunteered to go back to the starship to greet the remaining medical staff and guards.
Jiufang Yu followed the two people slowly, and when they arrived at the entrance of the medical area, he swiped the door open and invited them in.
"What?" No. 2 looked at Jiufang Yu warily.
"Since we're here, we might as well make a data record together. It will also serve as a reference sample for researchers." Jiufang Yu walked towards the data collection cabin with familiarity and was the first to lie down.
"Who wants to be the sample?" No. 4 muttered and tried to leave with No. 2.
No. 2 hesitated, but did not move. He remembered that Jiufang Yu had said before that he would use him as a research sample for the Si family medical laboratory to study the energy field of the waste star.
"You are welcome to join us if you wish."
Jiufang Yu's words at that time echoed in his ears.
If the energy field of the waste planet really has an effect on the recovery of the spiritual body, and if the reasons behind it can be clearly studied, even if it is too late for him, it will still be useful for the sentinels whose other scenarios collapse in the future.
No. 2 silently clenched his fists and said to No. 4, "You go out first. I will also leave some sample data for them."
No. 4 was stunned for a moment, looked at Jiufang Yu in the data collection cabin, then looked at No. 2, hesitated for a moment and said, "In that case, count me in as one."
"It's no big deal anyway." No. 4 shrugged nonchalantly.
When they finished collecting data and returned to the table, they found a new dish on the long table that they had not seen before.
It was a plate of beautiful peonies, big and small, red and white, just like flowers blooming on branches, vying for beauty. If you look closely, you will realize that the petals are actually fish and meat sashimi.
The fresh fish and animal meat were sliced as thin as a cicada's wing. Some were crystal clear and almost transparent, while others were as red as rouge, dancing with beautiful colorful luster in the sun. Each flower was dotted with golden stamens.
"What is this?" No. 2 stared at the large plate curiously.
"Golden minced fish and jade sashimi." Qi Huan introduced while placing the plates, "The fish sashimi on the outside is as white as jade, and the eight-spice minced fish on the inside is as golden as gold."
No. 2 raised his eyebrows in sudden realization. It turned out that this was the first dish on the menu.
Baheqi is a seasoning specially used for fish sashimi. It was first recorded in "Qimin Yaoshu" and is made from several ingredients including garlic, ginger, salt, tangerine peel, cooked chestnut meat, glutinous rice and white plum. The garlic roots should be removed, the ginger should be peeled and cored, and the tangerine peel should be new. Each ingredient should be pounded and cooked, and chestnut meat is added to add a rich golden color and sweetness, and rice is added to make it into a thick paste. The final product is goldenqi.
In later generations, it gradually evolved into any silvery white sashimi paired with golden seasoning being able to become golden minced meat and jade sashimi.
Qi Huan naturally couldn't find all the ingredients for Baheqi here, so he ended up reducing and matching the existing ingredients to make them taste similar and have a golden color.
No. 4 couldn't wait to take a bite. The tender fish meat was as smooth as silk in the mouth. When the fibers were bitten off, the rich sweetness of moisture would overflow. The golden minced meat in the middle was sour, sweet and salty, with a slight spiciness, which cleverly covered up the fishy smell in the fresh meat and made the meat taste even more delicious. The wonderful and colorful taste can only be savored carefully and is hard to describe.
After taking a big bite of the delicious food, No. 4 felt as if he was wrapped in the delicious taste. He felt smooth and comfortable from his hair to his toes, and even the tense shadows in his mental picture relaxed a lot.
"Huanhuan, why did you suddenly make so many delicious dishes today?" Diwuyuan picked up a piece of Wanfu meat and asked curiously. The fried pork skin curled up slightly after stewing and steaming, just like the slightly curled corners of petals, which was more beautiful visually. It was juicy, soft and tender when eaten, but not greasy at all, making the young master once again glad that it was the right decision to follow them out.
"I'm in a good mood today, so I want to treat everyone to something delicious." Qi Huan replied with a smile. Today is his Freedom Day, so it is certainly worth celebrating.
"From now on, on this waste planet, I will never allow anyone to disobey you. I hope you are in a good mood every day." No. 4 slammed the table and announced loudly.
"Me too, Huanhuan. I will never allow anyone to disobey you in the future." Diwuyuan chewed the Wanfu meat and glanced at Jiufang Yu meaningfully with his big black and white eyes.
Jiufang Yu caught Diwuyuan's gaze, his frosty eyelashes slightly raised, and he looked like he would do whatever the gentleman said.
Tsk. The young master turned around and rolled his eyes at him.
The shop owner happily watched the two people's "secret battle" and picked up a piece of tender and boneless gourd chicken and put it into his mouth. The mellow taste immediately raised his eyebrows and secretly joined the "no disobedience" army, hoping that Huanhuan would be in a good mood every day, so that he could have delicious food every day.
Everyone at the long table couldn't help it and started eating. After all, the guards often ate in the cafeteria and had tasted Qi Huan's cooking. In addition, their boss was present, so they had to be calm no matter how surprised they were. The medical team was busy studying Qi Huan's data yesterday, and went out to test the base environment data. They didn't even have time to eat, and all of them took nutritional supplements to fill their stomachs. Today was the first time they ate Qi Huan's cooking. After tasting it, they were all shocked. No wonder the young master at home always talked about the restaurants on earth. The taste was even better than that of the high-level star chefs in the Nine Stars.
Everyone was busy eating, and the little ones were no exception. Black Tuanzi swung his tail and ate hard, not wanting to let go of anything, his tail was so happy that it left an afterimage. Qiqi liked nuts, and had a special liking for crispy yellow ones, pecking at them one piece after another.
Jiujiu was not interested in the food, but just looked at everyone with a smug look on his face. He had been busy today. After looking around, he wanted to run over and stick with Jiufang Yu.
Qi Huan quickly brought him back, placed him on the wine jug containing apricot wine, and ordered him to sit there and not move.
Xiaobai didn't eat either, but he liked to watch everyone enjoy the food. He hid in Diwuyuan's pocket, then slowly leaned out, until most of his body was out.
Half an hour later, all the food on the long table was gone, not a single thing was left.
No. 2 and No. 4 were about to go back to rest, but Jiufang Yu grabbed them and took them into the medical area again.
"What? Didn't we just record it?" No. 2 was puzzled.
"After meals, after getting up, and after exercise, you should record it." Jiufang Yu lied calmly. But his heart was beating wildly. If his feeling was correct, the value later would definitely be a shocking contrast with that before meals.
