Chapter 33 Eat eat eat!
…
…
On a quiet night, at the dock, people have returned home.
There was a bright oil lamp hanging outside the small boat.
Inside the boathouse.
Da da da da!
Chen Qi was cutting beef and looked back at the three people in his small boat.
Ann, Little Maro, and Mayor Maro, the three of them were sitting at the dining table, holding spoons, knives and forks, their eyes filled with anticipation.
The three of them helped Chen Qi clean up the boathouse, rearranged the kitchen, and got the ingredients.
Why? Why did it have to be like this? Why did I suddenly have to cook for three people?
Chen Qi shook his head, poured the chopped beef into the pot, added onions and ginger, and blanched them.
Then he took out the potatoes and celery, as well as the dried tofu, squid, and chicken, and started cutting them silently.
Chen Qi recalled what happened before.
After he dealt with Tie Shou, An was shocked and immediately looked through the information.
It turned out that Tie Shou was a wanted criminal on the list, from the Black Rabbit Gang of Moonstone City, with a reward of 200,000 shell coins!
An removed the Iron Hand's mechanical arm and handed it over to the department responsible for the bounty.
According to her, the money will arrive tomorrow.
However, An still had many questions about why Chen Qi was being chased by Tie Shou.
In a sense, Chen Qi was also tricked by the Black Rabbit Gang.
So he made up a story:
"When he was working, he was deceived into the Black Rabbit Gang because he was greedy for small amounts of money. Then, by chance, he got the Collector. Finally, relying on the Collector, he ran all night in the Black Rabbit Gang and successfully escaped from the criminal gang's lair. This is an inspirational story.
Gang members often seek revenge.
And this Iron Hand came here to chase him because of the Collector."
He had indeed experienced something similar, except that the 'Black Whale Group' was replaced by the 'Black Rabbit Gang' and the 'Treasure of the Deep Sea Hunter' was replaced by the 'Collector'.
After hearing this, An expressed deep sympathy.
It is really pitiful that a sick young man went to a big city to work due to illness but accidentally got involved in a gang.
She has a good imagination.
She could imagine the tender and delicate Chen Qi, pitiful, helpless and humiliated in the dungeon of the Black Rabbit Gang.
Therefore, An decided to provide psychological counseling to Chen Qi and beware of potential unknown accomplices.
Then, she sat down at the dining table very naturally.
Mayor Maro rushed over upon hearing the noise.
When he heard that Chen Qi had killed a wanted criminal, he was shocked!
Although he guessed that Chen Qi must have done something big when he was not in Maruo Town.
But he never expected that Chen Qi could actually kill a gang member with a blade aspect, but considering that Chen Qi had a gun, he reluctantly accepted it.
Two hundred thousand shells is not a small amount!
At the same time, Chen Qi also became a first-level transcendent today.
This kid is so terrifying, he will definitely become a great man in the future!
So he got four bottles of wine and decided to celebrate.
Then, very naturally, he sat down at the dining table.
When little Ma Luo heard about Tieshou's sudden death, he suddenly realized what had happened.
It turns out that Chen Qi is a ruthless guy from a gang. This is the gang fight reported in the newspaper.
He remembered his previous careless attitude and disrespectful tone towards the other party, and suddenly he was filled with fear and trembled all over!
But even though he was afraid, he still had to eat the meal. The other party couldn't kill him.
So, he sat down at the dining table very naturally, using the excuse that he was hungry.
This small, broken boat inexplicably had to bear a weight that was not suitable for its size and had three passengers.
Chen Qi turned around again and looked at the expectant eyes of the three guests.
The profession of chef seems to be more popular than he thought.
But even though he is a chef, this is his first time cooking in another world.
It’s very stressful... Chen Qi wiped the sweat off his head.
He didn't know whether the people along the coast of the alien world would be accustomed to the food he cooked.
Chen Qi took a look at the ingredients. Although they were from another world, they were all common ingredients and seasonings on Earth.
Beef, potatoes, celery, tofu, a fish and chicken, and two squids.
"There's not much seafood here, I hope it's not too bad..."
Chen Qi put the cut vegetables aside and started cooking.
The chef profession increases the speed of learning cooking knowledge and also improves his cooking skills.
Potatoes and beef make delicious and simple potato beef stew.
Heat oil in a pan in the morning, put the scallions and ginger, add the bean paste commonly used in Maruo Town, and stir-fry together until fragrant.
Then, put the chopped beef into the pan and stir-fry.
While Chen Qi was cooking, An sniffed and said to Chen Qi:
"By the way, did you notice something was wrong before entering the houseboat?"
An suddenly remembered that Chen Qi looked back at her before entering the houseboat.
Thinking about it now, she suddenly realized that Chen Qi's eyes didn't seem to be inviting her to dinner.
The look in his eyes indicates something else!
"Um……"
Chen Qi nodded.
An shook his head and said seriously:
"This is too dangerous. You should have told me first. If I were to handle this first-level extraordinary being, it would be much better and you wouldn't have to worry."
“…”
Chen Qi stir-fried the beef.
Indeed, An was right, asking her to deal with Tie Shou was also an option.
After all, with An's strength, he only needs a simple fireball to kill Iron Hand in seconds.
Well... maybe I can also destroy my own ship in one second.
But there are many dangers in this world. If he is timid even when facing a first-level transcendent who knows the information and location, then the road ahead will be even more difficult.
Of course, the main reason was that he wanted the bounty.
Also, he thought Ann had noticed it at first.
An ate a peanut and prepared to continue speaking.
Chen Qi thought about it and directly blocked her mouth with a question:
"By the way, do you like spicy food? I got a little bit of devil pepper when I was in the monster kitchen."
Chili! This is a rare seasoning!
An had lived in the imperial capital and really liked spicy food.
An swallowed a mouthful of water and nodded:
"eat."
When it’s cooked to a certain temperature, Chen Qi puts the seasonings and potatoes into the pot.
Start cooking!
If you want the beef to taste good, you still need to stew it for quite some time.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Qi went outside the boat and began to process other ingredients.
Squid and chicken, grill them!
Chen Qi got a barbecue grill at the dock and prepared to make grilled chicken and grilled squid.
After a busy meal.
Beef stew with potatoes, grilled squid, and grilled chicken, all three dishes were cooked in a similar way.
There are still two dishes that I haven’t made: celery tofu and pan-fried fish.
Should be enough for four people...
Chen Qi returned to the boat and looked at the stewed potatoes and beef with satisfaction. He hadn't eaten for a day.
However, before he got to the table, he had one important thing to do.
That is to use his skill [Soul Seasoning]!
Chen Qi looked into the pot, grabbed a handful of green onions, mixed them with spiritual power, and sprinkled them in.
The moment the soul seasoning and chives fall onto the food, the aroma of the beef stew with potatoes is further stimulated, exuding a delicious aroma.
With the soul seasoning down, this fragrant and juicy potato beef stew is successfully completed.
A prompt also popped up in front of his eyes.
[Successfully cooked 'Beef Stew with Potatoes' and obtained 80 spiritual points! ]
Chen Qi raised the corners of his mouth and smiled happily:
“As expected of me!”
Eighty spiritual points!
This is already a fairly high number.
Just as he thought, soul seasoning can greatly enhance the deliciousness of the ingredients.
If there were no soul seasoning, it would require at least the skills of a five-star chef to cook eighty spiritual points with ordinary ingredients.
Next, Chen Qi grabbed a handful of cumin and sprinkled it on the grilled squid and chicken.
The aroma of cumin mixed with the aroma of barbecue instantly spread over the small pier.
Mayor An and Maro swallowed their saliva. They had been working all day and were hungry.
However, they overlooked one point: Chen Qi took longer to cook than they thought!
They had been sniffing the aroma for more than an hour.
It's very late at night now!
“I’m so hungry…”
An muttered to himself, slumped on the table like a tired kitten.
Chen Qi served stewed beef with potatoes, grilled squid and grilled chicken.
"Sorry for the wait."
The food is finally served. If it doesn’t come, I’ll starve to death! An instantly perked up when he smelled the aroma of beef.
Next, Chen Qi quickly prepared fried celery and tofu and pan-fried fish and served them on the table.
Chen Qi looked at them and clapped his hands:
"Everyone, let's eat. I just became a chef and I don't know how to cook."
Chen Qi looked at his dish and suspected that the taste might not be satisfactory due to the lack of many seasonings.
I don’t know if it suits their taste.
"Okay! I'll eat first."
Ann couldn't help it anymore. She carefully took a small bite of beef and potatoes with a spoon and put the potatoes and beef into her mouth.
"How about it?"
Chen Qi asked curiously.
An felt it carefully.
The tender beef and soft potatoes intertwine on the tip of the tongue, and the rich soup and slight spiciness create a wonderful taste.
Why is it so delicious? An blushed slightly, revealing an expression of enjoyment:
"It's delicious. What seasoning did you add?"
It’s the soul, I added the soul!
Chen Qi touched his nose confidently.
Where technique and seasoning are not enough, supernatural powers can be used.
The spicy taste comes from the addition of a little bit of ghost pepper.
"Let me try it too."
As a wealthy man, Mayor Maro has eaten many delicious foods.
He also ate a piece of beef out of curiosity.
He immediately felt a warm current in his body, and the fragrance blossomed in his taste buds:
"It's delicious. I heard that the food made by extraordinary chefs is so delicious that your clothes will explode. It seems that this is not just a rumor."
Clothes bursting...Chen Qi thought about it.
In this world, there really are delicious foods that are so delicious that they make your clothes burst.
However, this is because some extraordinary ingredients can strengthen a person's body and make their muscles grow instantly.
If diners are wearing tight clothes while eating, their clothes will burst right away, creating a stunning visual effect.
Of course, he didn’t have any extraordinary ingredients, so he couldn’t make delicious food with a clothes-bursting effect.
Everyone started eating, and Chen Qi also put a piece of beef in his mouth.
The taste of beef and broth slowly spreads on the tongue.
tasty!
So delicious!
It turns out that such delicious food can exist in other worlds.
He had been eating dry bread these past few days.
Now, being able to eat a bite of beef is a real enjoyment.
Even ordinary ingredients can taste so good, I wonder how delicious the food cooked with extraordinary ingredients will be!
Chen Qi thought about it, picked up another piece of slightly charred roasted chicken and put it in his mouth.
And so, everyone started to eat.
…
…
Bang!
Mayor Maro brought some slightly sweet wine, and everyone drank it directly.
When An had almost finished eating, he took a sip of wine and said:
“So full!
That’s right, Kai.
Why don't you open a tavern in Maro? I think the food you cook is much better than my father's.
When the time comes, I will definitely destroy my father's tavern."
Because of their professional duties, a chef often opens a restaurant.
Take down the only dockside tavern in Marlow? With his status as an extraordinary chef, maybe he can really do it.
Chen Qi thought about it and took a sip of wine:
"No, I have no plans to open a tavern in town. Um... maybe I'll get a dining boat."
