Chapter 066
Perhaps it was because the Marshal was in such a good mood today, which made people very curious, so they stared at the office door more than usual.
So when Wu Zimo showed up in person at the door of the Marshal's office before dinner, the gossipers who had been speculating on why their Marshal was in such a good mood all showed a look of sudden realization.
No wonder, it turns out he had an appointment with Wu Zimo.
Then needless to say, those idle elites started a new round of imagination. As for what kind of bizarre rumors will come out later, Wu Zimo said that he has already calmed down about that group of idle elites who seem to have nothing to do.
The entertainment industry paparazzi of the previous life would have to admit defeat to the even more ferocious gossipmongers in the interstellar space.
When the marshal and Wu Zimo walked out of the room together, the peeping sentries and guides discovered that Caesar was also walking gracefully beside Wu Zimo, and his eyes became brighter and brighter as he looked at Wu Zimo.
It was a rare occasion that Wu Zimo was in a good mood today, and he ignored all those glances that were secretly directed at him. Otherwise, if he had just casually mentioned it to the Marshal, there would definitely be wailing everywhere.
Because Wu Zimo had booked a private room early in the morning, he and Scott did not walk into the restaurant hall, but went through the side door. When the two men walked to the side door, Wu Zimo looked up and saw the person in charge of the restaurant standing there, as if he was waiting for some important person.
Wu Zimo thought the other party was busy with something important, so he didn't make a sound to disturb him. However, he didn't know that the person in charge was waiting for him and the Marshal.
To be honest, except for those otakus, everyone in the headquarters of the Condemnation Legion is a group of people who love gossip. There is no way, because the adjutant Rocard is the leader of this group of gossips.
As the saying goes, if the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked too. Even Scott only poured cold water on his subordinates when they made too much noise, so as to calm them down.
"Welcome, welcome." As soon as the restaurant manager saw Scott and Wu Zimo, his face, which was originally full of smile wrinkles, quickly smiled like a flower and greeted them.
Then he said to Wu Zimo in a tone that seemed to complain: "Wu Zimo, it's your fault today. Since you invited the Marshal, you should have mentioned it to me."
Wu Zimo dealt with the restaurant's chefs a lot, and had also talked to the restaurant's manager several times. Knowing that this was just a polite remark made by the person in charge, he smiled but didn't take it seriously in his heart.
However, Wu Zimo guessed wrong this time. The restaurant manager did not come here to show off his presence in front of the Marshal, but came here purely to watch the two of them up close!
So Wu Zimo still doesn't have a thorough understanding of these boring people in the headquarters of the Condemnation Legion.
After the restaurant manager greeted Scott, his expression was a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, he finally came to the side of the marshal and whispered to the marshal about the dishes that Wu Zimo had ordered today.
If it were normal, he certainly wouldn't need to do this, but today Wu Zimo ordered the dishes.
To be honest, even though he has been working in the restaurant business for so many years and is now able to manage the restaurant at the headquarters of the Condemnation Legion, for this seasoned warrior, the dishes ordered by Wu Zimo still feel that it is a bit of a challenge.
The person in charge also knew that those dishes were the latest developed by the culinary master Luo Ye, although other chefs could not make dishes like Master Luo Ye that could affect the sentinel guides. But in terms of taste alone, after Master Luo Ye’s personal instruction, it should be possible to reach 70% to 80% of Master Luo Ye’s level.
After listening to the restaurant manager reporting the ingredients of all the dishes, Scott's expression did not change at all, which made the restaurant manager sigh and say that he was indeed worthy of being our Marshal.
If Master Luo Ye had not personally ordered these dishes and instructed the restaurant's chefs to prepare them, the restaurant manager would not have dared to allow such dishes to appear on the restaurant's menu.
Today is the first day of registration, and Wu Zimo is the first one to try it out.
After Wu Zimo saw the restaurant manager leave with a respectful look, he walked over to Scott. He didn't ask what the two had just talked about, but just said to Scott: "Are you done? Then let's go."
Without outsiders, Scott's gaze towards Wu Zimo changed slightly, although Wu Zimo, the target of his gaze, was confused.
"Scott?"
"Let's go."
Scott didn't say anything, because he once again remembered Wu Zimo's performance on Planet XT781, and the greedy look he showed in Luo Ye's room last time when he saw bee pupae, a food that was not acceptable to everyone.
Recalling Wu Zimo's expression at that time, the Marshal couldn't help but smile.
Since today's dishes are what the boy in front of him likes, he will try them no matter how weird they are.
What's more, Scott has confidence in Luo Ye's cooking skills. The dishes that can be released with his approval are definitely not the strange dishes that would cause diarrhea immediately after eating, which was a prank he used on Rocard those days.
So, Marshal, you also know that Rocard was tricked before? I don't know what role you played in it...
The two of them sat opposite each other in the box. What Wu Zimo was most satisfied with about Interstellar Times was that the Eight Immortals Table from China was still there and had not evolved into a strange-shaped table.
Because there was a reservation, the dishes Wu Zimo ordered were delivered quickly. Under Wu Zimo's expectant gaze, a big-bellied robot knocked on the door and brought up the three dishes and one soup that Wu Zimo had ordered. At the end, of course, the fragrant white rice was also indispensable.
Just like the saying: 'Southerners never get tired of rice, and northerners never get tired of noodles. 'As a pure southerner, Wu Zimo felt an indescribable happiness for being able to see white and tender white rice in the interstellar space.
And maybe it’s because of the soil and water, but the white rice here in the interstellar space has a very special rice aroma compared to what Wu Zimo had eaten in his previous life.
It is indeed pure natural, pollution-free, and the taste is different!
“Scott, this is white rice. If you’re not used to it, just try it.”
Wu Zimo always felt that Scott, with his silver hair and silver eyes, looked like a foreigner no matter how he looked at him. So let alone the interstellar era, even in the previous life, foreigners might not necessarily like this tasteless white rice that is always served in Chinese restaurants.
After hearing Wu Zimo's reminder, Scott finally raised his eyes from the three dishes on the table that were made with certain kinds of insects. Then, he followed Wu Zimo's direction and saw that the only normal dish on the table was white rice.
Because Wu Zimo's soup was also made with insects!
Of course Scott thought it was a bug, but Wu Zimo didn't think so, because the pot was seafood soup, which was made from very fresh and sweet crustaceans such as lobster!
Before he even ate, Wu Zimo smelled the familiar sweet fragrance in the air, and his saliva began to flow uncontrollably.
As for the other three dishes, Wu Zimo did not order the fried bee pupae this time because he had already tasted them. Wu Zimo was very confident in the cooking skills of Luo Ye, the master chef. After having tasted the fried bee pupae made by Luo Ye, Wu Zimo, to be honest, looked down on the ones made by other chefs.
Of the three dishes, one resembled the powerful hind legs of a roasted locust. As mentioned before, for some unknown reason, most of the insects in the interstellar space began to evolve in the direction of becoming giants.
The bee pupa is almost as big as a rabbit, let alone a locust. However, the evolution of locusts is still within an acceptable range, because locusts are pests. Although it is not popular to use drugs to control them in the interstellar world, the technology of biological control has been studied and matured for thousands of years.
What’s more, what Wu Zimo and his friends ate today was the hind legs, not the whole locust.
It's about the size of a baby's arm. I saw two pairs of hind legs skewered together. I don’t know what they were coated with before being grilled over charcoal. The surface was browned, and the shell was crispy in some places. You could see a little browned thigh meat inside.
The browned roasted thigh had the aroma of cumin powder, chili powder and some other spices that Wu Zimo didn't know were mixed in with the aroma of the meat. Even though Wu Zimo had eaten roasted locusts before, they didn't smell as good as what he smelled today.
As for the other two dishes, one is fried cicada. If you don’t know what cicada is, everyone must know the cicada that likes to chirp in the trees in summer. Cicada is the cicada larvae that have not yet shed their shells.
Compared with other native insects that are desperately evolving towards gigantic size, the size of cicadas is still within Wu Zimo's acceptable range.
The fried cicada on the plate is only about twice as big as the ordinary cicadas on Earth.
These cicadas are fried until golden in color, but unlike the oily bee pupae, they are drier. Wu Zimo asked the chef to make the dish slightly spicy, so the spiciness was not too pungent. Combined with the fragrance of the cicada, it was very appetizing.
The last plate was the one that made the Marshal raise his eyebrows the most, because the appearance of this dish really looked like some kind of dimensional insect. Of course, the comparison between their physiques is two dimensions.
The last dish was two palm-sized casseroles made by two adult men, one for each of them, which were placed in front of Wu Zimo and Scott.
When the lid of the casserole was opened, a coiled scorpion was revealed inside. That’s right, this dish is scorpion in soy sauce.
A whole scorpion is placed in a casserole. Once it is opened, the shell of the scorpion in the casserole remains intact. Even those who are timid will feel that the visual impact is really strong. Of course, the impact on the sense of smell is even greater. The full aroma of sauce is really irresistible.
Especially when you use a knife to cut open the back of the scorpion, you can see that inside is a mixture of various sauces and scorpion meat that is simmered before being put back into the scorpion shell and simmered over low heat with sauce before being served. The salty and fragrant aroma of the sauce in the air becomes even more intense.
When Wu Zimo saw the delicacies on the table, his eyes lit up and he swallowed subconsciously. When he was about to pick up his chopsticks, he remembered that he was not the only one in the box. There was also a marshal sitting opposite him.
"Ahem, sorry Scott, I get really excited when I see something delicious."
As a foodie, Wu Zimo can easily be immersed in the aroma of delicious food even if he is not the kind of person who is easily tempted by delicious food.
Scott's silver eyes looked at Wu Zimo's embarrassed expression quietly for a while before he spoke. His cold voice reached Wu Zimo's ears, but Scott's words made Wu Zimo even more embarrassed.
“Do you like eating bugs?”
