Chapter 18 Hu Family
Sirius.
"Brother, this pheasant is really fat and big. It's different from the pheasant the anchor cooks, right?" The young man asked curiously as he looked at the colorful pheasant in his hand.
"Almost. I've tested it. It's not poisonous, and it doesn't have any violent energy. It's safe to eat," said the young man who was called "Brother." "I was planning to help the anchor register a patent, but it seems he's already done it, and the fee is only one credit point."
"If we stew the pheasant according to the host's method, do we also have to pay credit points?" asked the young man.
"No, because the patent states that credit points are only required for commercial profit. Private consumption of food does not require credit points."
“Is this anchor so selfless?”
"I don't know, is the anchor very rich?"
"have no idea."
"Brother, we have pheasants and mushrooms, but we don't have bamboo shoots."
"I saw that the recipe doesn't just include pheasant stewed with mushrooms and bamboo shoots. It also works with just pheasant and mushrooms."
"Of course, we also have chicken soup. It's very simple, so we only charge for commercial use of the soup. You don't need to pay credit points for personal consumption."
"By the way, are you ready for the pot? Where's the stove?"
"Brother, I've already fixed it. The pot is easy to make. I just use memory metal to make a tube. It's not very big, so it's easy. As for the stove, do we need to light a fire like the host?"
"Are you stupid? Of course we can use other energy sources, like electricity and solar energy. Why do you insist on burning a fire like the anchor? Can you build a stove like the anchor?"
“…It’s a bit troublesome.”
"So we just need to get the energy stove and pot ready."
"Well, I'll go back and try to see if I can make an electric energy stove."
The two brothers were caught by their family when they returned home with two chickens and a bag of mushrooms.
"Hu Tianzheng, Hu Tianwen, what are you holding?" A young and beautiful woman stood at the stairs with her arms folded, looking at the things in the brothers' hands and asked in confusion.
"...Mom." The two brothers couldn't help but laugh when they saw the beautiful woman. "Why are you home?"
The young and beautiful woman is actually in her sixties, but she is a supernatural being with a lifespan of four or five hundred years, so she is still very young at the age of sixty.
Yang Wenxi leisurely walked up to her sons, looked at the colorful pheasant in the youngest son's hand and asked, "What did you catch this colorful finch for?" Then she looked at the eldest son and said, "And you, what's in that bag?"
"Mom, I learned this from the anchor. I'm going to make chicken soup with it," said the older brother, Hu Tianzheng, with a smile. "Didn't the anchor say chicken soup is very nourishing? So I'm going to make some chicken soup for you to try, to replenish your body."
Yang Wenxi raised an eyebrow and looked at her eldest son and said, "Replenish your body? Do you think your mother needs to replenish her body?"
Is it okay that she is only one-tenth of her lifespan? Where does she need to supplement?
"But what is the chicken soup you are talking about? Is it the one I know?" Yang Wenxi asked curiously. As someone who came from a wealthy family, Yang Wenxi had also heard of the delicacies of the Earth era, so she was very curious if the chicken soup was the one she knew?
"It shouldn't be...right?" Hu Wentian looked at his elder brother hesitantly and said, "Didn't the host say that this is actually pheasant stewed with mushrooms?"
"Alright, alright, whatever you call it, Mom will make you some soup later." Hu Tianzheng said with a smile, "Can we go take care of it?"
Yang Wenxi looked at his two sons and did not make things difficult for them.
These two brats haven't graduated from college yet, so Yang Wenxi can let them do whatever they want. As for where they will be sent after graduation, she hasn't figured it out yet, and since her husband is in charge, she doesn't need to worry too much.
Hu Tianzheng and Hu Tianwen had no idea what Yang Wenxi was thinking, and the two brothers quickly went to the kitchen - well, in the interstellar age, although no one knew how to cook, there were still kitchens, which were places to store various nutrients.
Hu Tianzheng asked his younger brother who studied mechanical manufacturing to build the energy stove, while he himself went to deal with the pheasant.
Although the host said that it would be easier to remove the feathers after scalding them with boiling water, Hu Tianzheng's ability happened to be fire-related, so he plucked the pheasant's feathers first, and then the tiny hairs on the pheasant were slowly burned by Hu Tianzheng.
After Hu Tianzheng finished cleaning the pheasant's feathers, he fetched some water and began to process the pheasant's internal organs. The internal organs were difficult for Hu Tianzheng to process, so he only kept the heart and liver. He left the intestines and gizzards alone and threw them away for the robot to process as garbage.
After cleaning the pheasant, Hu Tianwen quickly made the energy stove. A simple energy stove that can cook food is easy to make. As a genius in mechanical manufacturing, such a simple thing can be made in minutes.
Hu Tianwen brought the energy stove and the pot over, washed them, wiped the bottom of the pot dry, filled it with water, chopped the pheasant into pieces and put them into the pot.
"Brother, did the host say that we should blanch the pheasant?" Hu Tianwen looked at his elder brother in confusion.
"No need. The host said that blanching is to remove the blood retained in the pheasant. I have already washed the pheasant clean, don't worry." Hu Tianzheng was still processing mushrooms, so he was hesitant when answering his brother's question.
"Oh." Hu Tianwen did not argue, but put the pheasant meat and water into the pot, turned on the energy stove and set the time for an hour, then went to help his elder brother wash the mushrooms.
The brothers worked together to wash the mushrooms, which they had checked to be non-toxic and without any hallucinogenic effects, and then tore them into strips and put them into the pot to stew with the pheasant.
Yang Wenxi leaned against the doorway, watching the two brothers busying around. Now that they had finished their work, she couldn't help but ask, "Where did you learn this method? Cooking is not an easy skill. I heard that the only people who can cook now are those from families with rich heritage that have been passed down since leaving Earth. How did you do it?"
Hu Tianzheng washed his hands and walked over to his mother and said, "We learned this from a certain anchor in the live broadcast area."
After drying his hands, Hu Tianzheng pushed his mother's shoulders and asked her to sit on the sofa in the living room. He said with a smile, "It happens that it takes an hour to stew chicken soup. Why don't you watch this live broadcast during this time to see if we are lying to you?"
Yang Wenxi looked at his eldest son, who was always cunning, and then at his youngest son, who always supported his brother, and nodded helplessly, "Okay, send me the link."
Hu Tianzheng smiled and sent the host's live broadcast link to his mother, and then he and his younger brother rewatched the live broadcast together.
