"Big brother, are you leaving now?" Lu Fangyao was a little reluctant. His older brother had only stayed for half a month this time, and the two brothers hadn't seen each other for a year.
“Yuan Hong, try the food Yu Lan said she wanted to make…it’s a good meal before you go, a little longer won’t make a difference.”
Lu Yuanhong was actually just telling the two of them in advance so that they could sneak away at night if they really wanted to leave.
Now that Old Master Lu has spoken again, we can naturally stay.
But Grandpa just said that Lu Yulan is cooking!
I think of that child who, like a cat, would jump in surprise at the sight of anything, and who can cook.
Actually, Lu Yulan really didn't want to eat the tasteless nutritional supplements anymore. Although her body could adapt, her mind couldn't. She felt that her tongue was going to atrophy from the lack of taste.
It turns out that Lu Yulan was misled by her grandfather.
There are other flavored nutrient solutions in interstellar space, but Grandpa Lu always taught his two grandsons to be prepared for unforeseen circumstances and that food is just for filling their stomachs, so they always chose flavorless nutrient solutions.
Even more so, a small number of hedonists choose to cook gourmet food.
As for what it will look like when it's made, I have no idea.
After all, during the great turmoil in the interstellar world, many cultural records were lost, including the food, which was lost to time and is now only described in fragments.
For these interstellar people who are used to consuming nutrient solutions, it's something they simply can't understand.
Many people who dabble in cooking actually just watch videos on social media; very few of them are truly delicious.
Otherwise, he would have been a millionaire long ago.
Lu Yulan didn't intend to prepare a grand meal, since there were many things she didn't understand about interstellar travel.
Moreover, people who drink nutritional supplements for a long time, like those who drink porridge, probably have weaker spleens and stomachs.
Spicy foods should also be avoided.
Moreover, Lu Yulan is currently in a situation where even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice, and she doesn't want to make a big splash in her career.
If I manage to make a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, it might be taken away for research.
Therefore, Lu Yulan still intends to build upon the existing foundation.
After browsing the StarNet for a day and a night, I finally found a substitute for rice.
A very...sharp plant that has evolved, its thorns are often used by interstellar people to make medicine, and it is quite large.
As for the fruit, no one likes to break open the shell to check it.
Lu Yulan felt that this might be the evolved rice, so she bought it. It was very cheap, about one interstellar coin per ear. The seller was very enthusiastic, and after thinking about it, Lu Yulan bought one hundred ears.
They were incredibly enthusiastic, and in the virtual projection, the young man was very thin, looking somewhat malnourished.
Lu Yulan couldn't bear it, so she bought more than she had originally planned to buy.
The main reason was that Lu's younger brother told Lu Yulan that one's image on the StarNet could actually be faked, but ordinary poor people couldn't afford the spoofing equipment.
So Lu Yulan wasn't worried about being scammed. The boy was very sincere. The fact that Lu Yulan actually bought it also showed that these things were useless on their planet.
I'm embarrassed to say it, but I want to give Lu Yulan a discount.
He is a truly kind person; although he is not wealthy, he has a good heart.
Lu Yulan ultimately did not ask for a discount. She was very grateful that she had come to the interstellar world and was in the Lu family, where she would have no worries about food and clothing.
It seems that even in the interstellar era, there are still people at the bottom of society who struggle to survive.
Lu Yulan thought about it for a long time that night. Perhaps food is not only for promotion, but also for giving hope to those who are poor but still have a positive outlook.
Interstellar delivery is incredibly fast, even across several planets.
I placed the order in the evening, and it arrived the next day at noon.
Carrying Grandpa Lu on his back, he and his younger brother Lu took the things back to their room.
"It smells so good!"
Lu Fangyao knew exactly what was going on. To be precise, he had secretly drunk a lot of it while he was at the experimental site. Although it didn't really fill him up and he was hungry now, it was indeed very delicious, much better than the most popular nutritional supplements he secretly drank when he was craving something sweet.
"What does it taste like? Fang Yao, didn't Grandpa tell you that you should remember the bitterness of the past and appreciate the sweetness of the present? How can you focus so much on enjoyment?"
Although Grandpa Lu expressed his dissatisfaction, his eyes involuntarily turned towards the direction from which the aroma was coming.
The porridge had reached its thickest point by then, and Lu Yulan stared at the boiling bubbles.
I don't know if it's because there's no fertilizer or pesticides in interstellar space, but the aroma of this rice-like plant is particularly strong.
It's so tempting, it makes your stomach rumble.
I don't know if it's just my imagination because I haven't had delicious food in so long, or if it really smells amazing.
The only troublesome thing was that the rice grains were a bit big, about the size of almonds. Lu Yulan was worried that they wouldn't cook through, so she had her younger brother break them up.
When Lu Yulan was alone, she often cooked porridge because people with stomach problems always have to take care of themselves.
Therefore, I have a lot of experience in making porridge.
Once the heat was just right, I turned off the fire, used heat-resistant gloves to pour the porridge from the earthenware pot into a large white jade basin, placed a spoon on it, and carried it out.
"Grandpa Lu, please try this. This is porridge that Lu Fangyao and I made. I found the recipe in an old book these past two days." Lu Yulan knew she couldn't directly admit that she could cook, so she dragged her younger brother Lu along to clumsily try it out. Although the first few porridges she made weren't cooked perfectly, they were still very fragrant, and as compensation, they all ended up in her younger brother Lu's stomach.
Grandpa Lu didn't suspect anything and quickly ladled out a bowl for himself.
The porridge, fresh from the pot, is still very hot, even after it has thickened to a creamy consistency and is coated with strands.
Lu Yulan saw that Grandpa Lu was about to put it in his mouth without even blowing on it.
