291 The 11th Store
◎Live broadcast of licking the bowl!◎
Zhou Su looked up at the suspended light screen. She didn't expect that simply cutting a potato strip could shock the Star Internet users so much. The tension in her heart could not help but fade a little.
She likes to eat. She has worked in the shopping street for more than a year. Every time she sees the furry people and customers satisfied with the food, she feels a sense of accomplishment.
In the future world, it seems that not only books are declining, but also food culture has reached the edge.
With the development of technology, human beings have forcibly separated their instinctive needs for survival by technical means.
Zhou Su can't imagine that feeling. If you can't even enjoy the joy of food, how boring life is.
However, her main job tonight was to assist the store owner in completing the live broadcast, so Zhou Su thought it would be better to let the interstellar netizens in the live broadcast room feel the charm of the food.
The store owner said that the prisoners on the island only had 40 minutes of activity time at night, and after the live broadcast began, a meal must be served within 40 minutes. Zhou Su's hands moved more and more skillfully.
Seeing that Zhou Su was getting more and more motivated because of the audience's feedback, Lu Yao lowered his head and opened the "Interstellar Hotel" on the bookshelf, stopping at the scene where the protagonist Jiang Ruo found a place to stay on a remote planet and showed off his first meal.
Jiang Ruo, the protagonist of "Star Hotel", graduated from Star University. For some reason, she did not stay on the prosperous planet to work, but came alone to the planet where her mother lived in her childhood. She bought a small shop in a remote town and prepared to open a restaurant.
Jiang Ruo was too busy in the first two days and had no time to cook for herself, so she had to eat takeout all the time.
On the third night after arriving in the town, Jiang Ruo cooked her first meal.
She was short of money and had little money left after buying the shop. She went to the market and bought two pounds of potatoes, one and a half pounds of tofu, a tender corn, two green peppers, a handful of green onions, and finally two pounds of fragrant rice.
Jiang Ruo has a space ring. In addition to the fresh vegetables bought from the market, she also prepared a lot of exclusive small ingredients, plus a piece of fresh meat.
That night Jiang Ruo cooked a pot of fragrant corn rice and fried two home-cooked dishes, and had a simple and delicious meal.
The two home-cooked dishes were hot and sour potato shreds and mapo tofu.
This meal was the first one reproduced in the bookstore live broadcast.
Zhou Su was preparing the dishes. After cutting the potato shreds, she cut green peppers, green onions, wild peppers, pickled peppers, and sour ginger. After cutting the vegetables, she changed to another chopping board, took out a small piece of meat, and chopped it into minced meat.
Lu Yao pointed his finger at the page in front of him and read softly.
Lang Lang's female voice was accompanied by the orderly picture of the small kitchen. The owner read a passage, and the chef Zhou Su's movements were in perfect harmony with it. In a trance, it really overlapped with the scene in the book.
The book only uses a few simple sentences to describe Jiang Ruo's excellent knife skills. When reading it for trial during the day, the book friends were amazed the first time, but they felt it was unreasonable the second time.
They had never seen such exquisite knife skills, and they did not understand how it was necessarily related to cooking.
It was not until they saw Zhou Su prepare all kinds of side dishes in a few minutes and put them on the plates for use that they realized that what was written in the book was not exaggerated.
Ji Zhixin just started washing vegetables at the side, and then remembered that he forgot to wash the rice before steaming it. He first taught Yin Hua to peel the corn, and then turned to wash the rice.
Lu Yao reminded him: "Go to the office to steam it, hurry up."
This pot of rice will take at least half an hour to steam. Zhou Su has already prepared the vegetables and stir-fry them very quickly, so I'm afraid she can't wait together.
Lu Yao's mustard space is still in the staff office, and Ji Zhixin can make up for the time difference by carrying a pot in to steam.
Ji Zhixin temporarily left the live broadcast room, and Yin Hua became Zhou Su's assistant.
Zhou Su asked Yin Hua to move the prepared dishes to the stove. She picked the seasonings from the cart and placed them neatly at hand for easy access. Lu
Yao stopped and pointed to the empty guest seat opposite the cooking table: "Tonight's live broadcast benefit, the food will be served on the spot and it is free to taste. But the seats are limited, and each guest is limited to fifteen minutes to dine. Please understand."
Many Star Internet users seem to have no concept of real food. Just letting them watch the cooking process is far less profound than the feeling of tasting it.
The netizens in the live broadcast room didn't expect this benefit. After all, it was a bookstore live broadcast room. The purpose of doing theme live broadcasts was nothing more than to promote goods and sell books. Many people just watched it for fun.
As a result, they had so much fun that they dared to serve the copied food to customers.
The six empty seats opposite the cooking table were filled in the blink of an eye. Among them were netizen No. 69671, who had just finished reading the trial version of "Star Hotel" and ran to the Nine Star Hotel for dinner, and netizen No. 777, whose family ran a restaurant.
Zhou Su glanced at the owner and signaled her to start cooking.
Lu Yao lowered his head, turned a new page, and continued to read the content of the book.
[The hot oil was smoking, and Jiang Ruo poured the ginger, garlic and pepper into the pot, and the hot oil sizzled. The pungent green smoke rises, the ginger and garlic are fried until slightly browned, and Jiang Ruo picks up the potato shreds floating in the basin...】
Next to the cooking table, Zhou Su puts the wok on the stove, and follows the owner's recitation, one sentence at a time, hot oil, small ingredients, skillfully stir-fry, wait for the ginger, garlic and green pepper to overflow with fragrance, and then turns to pick up the potato shreds.
There is no fragrance when the ingredients are just put into the pot, only the smell of oil smoke is pungent.
There is a complete safety ventilation system in the live broadcast room, and the oil smoke will not be cooked everywhere, but in order to let the guests experience the scenes described in the novel, Lu Yao deliberately left a little vent.
The six guests sitting opposite the cooking table will smell a little oil smoke, but before they can express their dissatisfaction, the pungent smell will soon turn into a saliva-inducing fragrance.
The chef took the spatula in one hand, and swiftly picked up the seasoning on the stove and poured it into the pot.
The posture was very wild, as if the seasoning was free.
Star Internet users have never seen such a war-like kitchen. There is not even an open flame in their kitchen, and the seasonings are all in standard proportions.
The vegetables and seasonings bought from the supermarket are semi-finished products with a one-to-one ratio. The kitchen robot also cooks according to the recipes in the program in a one-to-one ratio. The seasoning ingredients and the weight of the ingredients are prepared according to an absolute ratio. If there is a little more or a little less, the kitchen robot will refuse to perform the task.
The message screen was full of horror -
[Wild Star No. 258: I was very angry that I didn’t get a seat, but the more I see, the more fortunate I am. Can such rough food really be eaten? 】
【Wild Star No. 98703: My kitchen robot has been shocked for a whole year! 】
【Wild Star No. 49876: My robot pet dog made five dishes and a soup overnight after watching it!!! 】
【Wild Star No. 123567: Too scary! This is definitely not a live broadcast benefit, it's more like a prank show! 】
[Wild Star No. 154798: Those six guys must be sweating profusely hhhhhhh]
...
69671 and 777 were sitting on their respective left and right sides. When they saw the message on the message screen, they looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
They were not as panicked as the netizens joked. It was a free benefit. Even if the food today was not delicious, it was still a good experience.
While one side was busy cooking, Ji Zhixin had already returned with an electric rice cooker.
A pot of rice would be steamed in less than a minute in the mustard space. It just took a few minutes to go back and forth between the staff office and the live broadcast area.
Piaopiao was sitting next to Lu Yao. When he saw Ji Zhixin coming back with the electric rice cooker, he was already a little restless.
The shredded potatoes in the pot exuded a sour and spicy smell, which made people want to swallow their saliva.
The six netizens sitting opposite stared at the chef opposite with their eyes wide open, fidgeting.
Yin Hua brought the plate and placed it next to Zhou Su.
Zhou Su let go of the spatula and handed it to Yin Hua to serve the plate.
She had already picked up another stove and prepared to make Mapo Tofu.
Minced meat, ginger, garlic and other small condiments were all ready.
Zhou Su fried the sauce, picked up the tender tofu floating in the pot, and did not use the chopping board. She put it in the palm of her hand and cut it horizontally and vertically for a few times, and then cut it twice horizontally and threw it into the pot. She cut four pieces in a row before stopping, and then it was another operation that did not cost any money for seasoning.
Before the food was served, Zhou Su asked the customer across from him if he could eat spicy food. The first two bowls were slightly spicy, the middle two bowls were slightly spicy, and the last four bowls were standard flavors.
Ji Zhixin served rice at the other end, a bowl of rice with a plate of hot and sour potato shreds and a serving of mapo tofu.
Excluding the preparation time, it took less than 20 minutes to serve the food, and it was just in time for the activity time of the canteens in each prison.
Six standard meals were pushed in front of the six customers across from the cooking table. The aroma of rice, hot and sour potato shreds, and the charming and overbearing pepper aroma of mapo tofu filled the entire virtual live broadcast room.
On Guandao Island, the canteen areas of the prisons in the fourth, fifth, and sixth districts were quiet, and countless heads looked up at the screens on the wall, waiting for the reactions of those netizens.
In the third district, the melee was not over yet.
However, the most brutal and tough robots in the past stopped their movements unconsciously, dodging left and right, looking up at the screen on the wall in confusion.
In the dormitories of the prison guards in the seventh and ninth districts, the prison guards who returned to their residences after work as usual were all paying attention to the live broadcast.
In the eighth district management office, the management director Kiran and four secretary prison guards sat together, their eyes also fixed on the guests on the screen.
No. 777 looked down at the plate in front of him. To be fair, the product was really good.
The white rice was dotted with golden corn kernels. Before I tasted it, I could smell the unique fragrance of the food itself. The rice and corn went well together.
The dish of spicy and sour potato shreds on the left was served a little early, but the fragrance was not diminished.
The tender yellow potato shreds were dotted with some red pickled pepper shreds and fresh green pepper shreds, and covered with a thin layer of sauce. The sour and fragrant smell made him want to swallow.
The bowl of mapo tofu on the right smelled even more fragrant. The white tofu was buried under a layer of thick red sauce, and a handful of green onions were sprinkled on the surface. The spicy and numbing aroma went straight into his nose.
777 did have a restaurant at home, and he admitted that the meal reproduced in the bookstore was both delicious and fragrant.
However, based on his experience, the ingredients used in these two dishes were too common, and the cooking methods were not very complicated. The taste was probably just so-so. Moreover, the chef did not know how to control his hands and put too much seasoning. It was probably just for the appearance, but it must have tasted strong.
With chopsticks and a spoon at hand, No. 777 was still looking at it, not moving.
But No. 69671 beside him couldn't wait, leaned over to take a deep breath of the fragrance, picked up the chopsticks and spread a spoonful of shredded potatoes on the rice, lowered his head and took a big bite.
This is what it says in the book, Jiang Ruo spread the sour and spicy shredded potatoes on the rice, took a bite, the shredded potatoes were crispy and refreshing, salty and sour, and he could finish half a bowl of rice with one spoonful.
69671 took a bite, blinked his eyes and savored it carefully, without saying anything, put down the chopsticks, picked up the spoon beside him and scooped up two large spoons of mapo tofu, covered the rice that had just been scooped out of the pit, mixed it with the spoon, and simmered it in his mouth. The tingling taste first exploded on the tip of the tongue, and the soft tofu accompanied by rice grains, the aroma of red oil bean paste and minced meat came in an instant, and the fragrance made people's scalps numb.
The book did not lie, hot and sour potato shreds and mapo tofu are indeed a magical tool for rice.
The meal he had in the Nine Star Hotel in the afternoon had already become blurred in 69671's mind. It was obviously a very expensive meal, but he couldn't remember what he had eaten at that time, or what it tasted like. The bad experience was completely overshadowed by the bland meal in front of him.
69671 had only taken two bites when the bowl of rice that was sticking out was empty, and half of the dish was left.
He used a rice spoon to scrape the last grain of rice at the bottom of the bowl, raised his head and looked at the owner sitting opposite him. He paused for a moment before shyly asking, "Can I have another bowl?"
Lu Yao and the assistant clerk were also eating.
There was only enough for two regular meals left, so Lu Yao and Zhou Su ate one, and Ji Zhixin and Piao Piao ate together.
In front of Yin Hua and Ling Liu were two cups of expensive robot lubricant, so they could experience the dining atmosphere.
Yin Hua stood up, turned around, picked up the rice cooker, and placed it in the middle of the cooking table.
No. 69671 stood up to scoop the rice, which was piled up to the top, and he pressed it down hard.
A customer next to him couldn't stand it and whispered, "Leave some, leave some."
No. 777 held the bowl and scooped the rice, and saw that there was no rice left in the pot, and he was a little anxious.
He just hesitated a little, thought a little more, and didn't catch up.
It's strange to say, the chef's cooking skills are so bold, but the taste of the dishes is just right, which is completely different from what he expected.
The food might taste a bit strong when eaten alone, but it is simply delicious when paired with rice, and you can't stop eating.
Piao Piao, who was sitting next to the table, was also a glutton. Ji Zhixin ate more politely, and gave most of the food to Piao Piao.
The little glutton was greedy, but he ate a lot, but he ate in a very well-behaved manner, and people could tell that the food was delicious.
The message screen in the live broadcast room was also very lively -
[Wild Star No. 154798: Oh my god! Is it really that delicious? ]
[Wild Star No. 258: Brother, don't be silent, tell me what it tastes like? ]
[Wild Star No. 49876: This is too much! It's just a bowl of fried potato shreds and a bowl of stewed tofu, can it really be so delicious?]
...
In the virtual live broadcast room, No. 69671 finished two bowls of rice and two dishes in a flash.
He picked up the wet towel placed beside him to wipe off the oil stains on the corners of his mouth, took a deep breath, slowly leaned back, and relaxed on the back of the chair: "You may not believe it, but this meal is much better than the one I had at the Nine Star Hotel before. There are no other words, I am very satisfied and I can sleep well at night!"
When the plate was served, the small clock next to the guest seat automatically counted down for fifteen minutes.
When the last guest at the table put down the cutlery in his hand, there were still five minutes left on the countdown.
No. 777 took a spoon and scraped the last bit of minced meat in the bowl into his mouth.
With a crisp sound, the spoon was thrown into the bowl.
No. 777 wiped his mouth and looked at Zhou Su with burning eyes: "Chef, your hands are so heavy, how come this dish is not ruined?"
He really couldn't figure it out.
No. 777 uses a chef robot to serve meals at home, but the old man does the seasoning himself.
Every time, it must be carefully weighed and adjusted to pre-packaged.
It is uniformly adjusted during cooking to ensure that the quality and taste of each plate of food served on the table are the same.
He has never seen the method and taste of the live broadcast room today before.
Zhou Su said simply: "You'll probably know it once you're used to it."
However, No. 777 felt that the chef was not telling the truth, but he didn't make a fuss. Maybe it was
just his ability to eat. After the six guests finished eating, they sat for a while and chatted with the people next to them about the taste of the food.
On the distant star ring, several new order reminders rang one after another. From
the start of the live broadcast to the time the first meal was served, which was nearly forty minutes, there were only more than nine hundred copies of the two thousand copies of "Star Hotel" left.
The timer in the cell rang, and the prison guard went to the canteen to urge the prisoners to return to the cell.
District Six, Cell Seven.
Del, Carney and the twin brothers walked slowly at the back.
Carney nudged Del with his elbow: "Does the food really smell that good?"
Del stamped his feet: "How should I know? I saw those Star Network users wolfing down their food without any image, so it must taste good."
Carney added: "Lend me that copy of "Star Hotel" to read for one night, and I'll return it to you tomorrow morning."
Del hesitated for a moment and didn't take it out.
Carney: "Didn't you finish reading it a long time ago?"
Del: "I just read it once, just like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, I couldn't taste anything. I'm going to read it a few more times tonight."
Carney: "..."
Yuan touched the two cookbooks in his arms and said nothing.
----
Area 4, a certain prison.
Zhu Wei followed the team slowly, thinking about the live broadcast just now.
It had not been long since she gave up her original body. Seeing the simple home-cooked dishes on the screen, it was impossible for her mouth to secrete saliva, but she could not help swallowing.
She could still clearly remember the fragrance of rice. Mixed with the two dishes just now, it must have tasted very fragrant and satisfying.
----
In the third district, the violent fight was ultimately not contained, and it was not until the arrest guards and arrest robots were deployed that it was quelled.
When a group of prisoners who had been dealt with by the guards returned to their rooms, they finally noticed the live broadcast on the screen.
----
In the eighth district, the management office.
0815 suddenly turned around and took a small box from his desk, with a rare annoyance in his tone: "Lu Yao gave me this in the afternoon, and I forgot to give it to you."
Both colleagues and Director Ji Lan looked over.
0815 opened the box, and on the black velvet surface were five black rectangular pendants.
The pendants were not big, and the numbers of the secretaries and jailers in District 8 were engraved on the ends, including Director Jilan's.
0815 explained: "The owner said that if you hang this pendant on the star ring, you can smell the food in the live broadcast room."
0877 picked up his pendant, gestured on the star ring twice, and did not hang it directly: "What kind of technology is this? I have never heard of it."
0816 took his pendant and hung it directly, saying frustratedly: "It should be better to have breakfast, but everyone has finished eating now."
0829 pointed to the public suspended light screen: "The second meal has begun."
In the live broadcast room, when the time was up, the six guests left the live broadcast room.
While Yin Hua was cleaning up the kitchen, the three assistants went back to the staff office to rest for a few minutes.
Netizens thought they were going to the bathroom, after all, they were all native people.
After taking a nap in the mustard space, the three people returned to the live broadcast room and continued to replicate the second meal.
In the office of the District 8 Management Office, Director Ji Lan took away his pendant, and 0815, 0829 and 0877 also hung the pendant given by the owner on the star ring, to see how delicious the food in this book is! ! !
