Chapter 157 The Ribs Are for You
Many old members often come back and enter the laboratory to do some confidential tasks.
So the recruitment mission that Bai Mengmeng had previously thought was quite dangerous or particularly mysterious was actually completely different from what she had imagined.
They are not going out to slay demons and monsters, nor are they conducting international anti-terrorism efforts, or just letting them handle mysterious incidents that occur somewhere.
Such tasks actually only account for a very small part, and the vast majority of tasks are to bring back researchers from the auxiliary department to confidential laboratories to cooperate in conducting some scientific research.
Therefore, returning cultivators usually eat in the cafeteria because they have eaten enough during training.
In addition, since it is a mission, the accommodation is relatively better, with a kitchen, and people can leave, so most people will prepare their own ingredients, cook their own meals, or pack things from outside.
For example, the medical practitioner Hua Hualiu, who came back with his own team to conduct experiments this time.
They are a large team of twenty people specializing in medical research.
Among this group of people, there was a medicine practitioner named Hua Yuxi.
Although he is not particularly talented, his cooking skills are quite good, so he became a member of this team. He gradually took charge of the team's logistics, helped prepare food, performed simple calculations, and applied for new projects.
When they smelled the fragrance, everyone started talking and said that they would go directly to the cafeteria for lunch today and asked Hua Yuxi not to cook.
Vice Captain Hua Zeshuai took a careful look and said, "We have quite a few people. We decided to go to the cafeteria on short notice. It would be bad if there weren't enough food. How about we go tomorrow?"
Hua Hualiu didn't care at all and said nonchalantly, "Basically, there are a lot of tasks during these months every year, so Chef Xuan will prepare in advance and the data in the cooking machine will be updated accordingly, so there will definitely be enough food. We can just taste the dishes made by the new chef."
Others would also shake their heads: "Yeah, at most one person can eat one piece. The fragrance is so irresistible that my mouth is full of saliva now."
“Ah, this…”
Hua Zeshuai was a little speechless. These people really had low EQ and didn't understand what he meant at all.
He thought that they had always asked Hua Yuxi to cook for them, but now they suddenly became bored with the old and wanted to run to the cafeteria to eat as soon as they smelled a little fragrance. He was afraid that Hua Yuxi would think too much.
Turning his head, he looked at Hua Yuxi tenderly with a gentle expression and whispered softly: "Let these heartless people go. I always like to eat the food you cook."
Hua Yuxi was baffled and said speechlessly, "Whether you like to eat it or not is none of my business. Anyway, it smells so good, I must go to the cafeteria to try it."
Hua Ze Shuai: "Well...okay, I'll go to the cafeteria with you."
By the time everyone finished their work, it was time for dinner.
Hua Hualiu quickly led everyone and ran towards the cafeteria.
But when everyone arrived at the cafeteria door, the elevator didn't come up for a long time, as if it was stuck downstairs.
"Is elevator number one broken? If we wait any longer, we might not be able to eat anything!" Hua Zeshuai said anxiously, "I think we should just keep walking."
That's why Bai Mengmeng was so shocked. A group of people didn't even take the elevator, but ran out directly through the emergency corridor and up the stairs. They were as crazy and brave as zombies.
…
As soon as he walked into the cafeteria, Hua Hualiu immediately smelled a fragrance.
"Yes, this scent is so delicious!"
At a glance, the line of people holding plates stretched from the food pick-up area to the elevator entrance, and he checked them one by one.
"Kung Pao Chicken, Chayote Salad, Boiled Pork Slices... These dishes have never changed. They've been the same for so many years. I just don't know where this new dish that's making me drool is!"
Just then, he saw a special plate. The plate was particularly large and full of ribs, as well as some crispy and green leaves. He didn't know what they were.
There is a label on this plate: Limited quantity, once a month!
"It must be this!"
Hua Hualiu smiled and walked forward with the plate, wanting to taste the flavor.
He just coughed loudly twice, and immediately several people turned their heads.
"Is that Teacher Hua? Are you coming to dinner today too?"
"Hello, Hana-senpai."
Yin Yuanyi was originally very unhappy. Who is this person? He actually cut in line. How could he be so uncultured!
Just as he was about to scold the person, he heard voices of greetings from people around him, and quickly shut his mouth without saying a word.
Although the world of cultivation today is not as dictated by the survival of the fittest as it was in the past, it is definitely true that those with high cultivation levels have privileges.
Just like when Bai Mengmeng was testing her talent, there was a foundation-building elder who could bring his disciples to cut in line.
Hua Hualiu is now a Jindan cultivator, so he quickly gave up his seat and let someone stand in front of him.
"Thanks."
Hua Hualiu had a look of gratitude on her face, but she was particularly generous with her helpings, two full spoonfuls of pork ribs, without being polite at all. She didn't even order other dishes and just walked back to the dining table with the plate.
He didn't start eating the ribs right away, but instead smelled the green leaves next to them. He was quite curious about what this thing was.
"Oh? It's mint?"
He put it in his mouth and tasted it, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
The mint is cooked to the perfect temperature, neither black nor bitter. It is crispy, fragrant and soft, with a mild taste. It is not only extremely fragrant but also not irritating.
I ate some spareribs again.
This time, the amazement in my heart was even stronger
The fried spareribs are also very delicious. Not only are they crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, but what is rare is that they are especially flavorful because they are basil-fried.
What surprised him the most was that the aroma of mint is actually very difficult to preserve, but after being fried in oil, the ribs still had a fresh fragrance, making the fried meat not greasy at all, retaining the aroma of the meat, and tasting extra refreshing.
This is simply delicious!
When Hua Zeshuai and his team members came over with plates, what they saw was the captain sitting with his legs crossed, chewing pork ribs with big mouthfuls.
“Is it really that delicious?”
Wu Le looked at his opponent. He was so old, but he didn't care about his image at all.
"I have quite a lot of spare ribs here. How about I eat other dishes and give you some spare ribs?"
Hua Hualiu immediately raised her head, her eyes shining: "Are you sure?"
"No problem."
