The first coquettish anchor of the empire [food]

Yu Xi tentatively asked, "Hmm... Then, what color is that water bug?"

The expression on the child's face was disgusting, "Some are blue, some have yellow spots on their bodies, some are olive green, and some have red paws... Hey, why are you asking this? It's really long. They are very ugly. They also like to make holes... Drilling and drilling in the mud, it is really weird. The small ones are more disgusting, black and red, with dense and many feet, it is even more disgusting than the big centipede crawler ! At least the big centipedes don't bounce!"

But Yu Xi seemed to become more excited the more she listened, her eyes sparkled, making the child doubt life.Does this big brother not understand the words, why does he have the expression of hearing delicious food?

Yu Xi was so excited that he could almost be sure that it should be a lobster, otherwise what kind of aquatic animal has so many tricks.Thinking about it now, he didn't seem to have seen lobsters for sale in the Optical Brain Mall before, otherwise he must have bought them back to satisfy his hunger!

……

Perhaps it is because of the change of living habits, or for other reasons, other planets may not be suitable for the growth of lobsters.According to the children, there should be lobsters everywhere.Wait... all over the place?

"That kind of water bug is not the only one in your pond, is it?"

The child's eyes widened in surprise, and his eyes began to worship, and he shouted: "How do you know! Yes, there are so many of them, so many that they would all climb ashore. Brother Mo said that he would pack some water bugs and throw them away when he came back this time." Go to another planet and make room for us."

Yu Xi hurriedly said: "No, if you put them indiscriminately, it may destroy the ecology of other places. By then, the ponds in other places will be full of them, how bad it is."

Yu Xi tried to explain the truth to the child as simple and understandable as possible, but the child pouted: "Then what should we do, we have to live! You don't know, they eat everything! If this continues, we won't even I don’t even have to eat the bitter wild vegetables!”

That's true... Shrimp are omnivorous creatures, and they eat small fish, fish eggs, and so on. If there is a flood, the damage to the ecology will be very serious.

"Haven't you ever thought about getting rid of them in another way?" Yu Xi blinked slyly.

The child's face turned red, and he hesitated, "Why, how to solve it?"

……

"For example... eat it." Yu Xi smiled and showed her small white teeth, which frightened the child.

This beautiful brother is so terrifying!Want to eat that ugly thing?It's poisonous just by looking at it!

Trembling, the child picked up the big steamed bun in the box, thinking that the brother was hungry and stupid, so he quickly stuffed it into his mouth, "Brother, don't dislike me, my hands are not dirty, I washed them before I came here."

"Well..." Yu Xi was caught off guard by a steamed bun, so she had to take a bite.

Sure enough, the taste is rustling and dry, it will scratch the throat if you swallow it.Huh?His side cheeks were bulging, and he blinked his eyes twice, why did he look so sweet?Looking again, there is a small layer of crystal clear powder on the surface of the big steamed bun.

The child said happily: "I'm afraid you won't be used to it, so we sprinkled another layer of icing sugar, do you like it?"

The child's eyes were very sincere, and Yu Xi couldn't help but get even more congested in his throat.This layer of frosting should be a very precious thing here.He nodded, chewed and swallowed like a little squirrel, and said, "Little friend, what's your name?"

The child scratched his head shyly, "I, I don't know... I was born here. Most of us don't have names, so we can call them whatever we want."

He tilted his head and hummed, "Everyone calls me Hei Zi. Although everyone is quite dark, I am a little darker because I am stronger and often go out to work, so I get more sun."

Hei Zai smiled brightly, and Yu Xi also smiled infected by him, "Alright then, Hei Zai, I ask you one thing."

The child immediately became vigilant, "You don't want me to let you go, do you? You can't, I was called by Brother Mo to watch you. Brother Mo will be angry if you let you go."

"I'm not going to run away. I don't know anyone here. Really, I promise you."

Hei Zai shook his head, took a few steps back vigilantly, but still refused.

Yu Xi had a headache, so he changed the phrase, "Then, can you catch a water bug and show it to me? I'll see if it's really edible. If so, aren't you hungry? kid?"

Seeing that the child's eyes were a little shaken, he added another sentence, "I am a chef, and I can cook a lot of delicious food."

After the child ran out, Yu Xi remembered his encyclopedia, and he was the only one who could help right now.

Yu Xi: Brother Six!Help help!

[666: I'm here, what's the problem with the host. 】

Yu Xi: You know what happened just now, so tell me, is that what the kid described just now a lobster?Is there any mutation, no toxicity?

[666: The water quality of this desolate star contains very strange substances, which are very suitable for the reproduction and growth of shrimp creatures. You guessed correctly the host.And here is different from the ancient earth. In a pond here, you can see many shrimps that should have lived in different waters, and there are many kinds.There is no toxicity, but their shells have indeed become a lot harder, and the bite force of the big turtles will also be stronger.But in contrast, other organisms in the pond here have basically been squeezed and have no living space. 】

Yu Xi knew that they were not poisonous, so he was already gearing up for it. When he heard about the variety, he became even more greedy, and had dozens of dishes in his mind at once.

Yu Xi: Sixth brother, can I exchange my fan points for something?The seasoning here is definitely not complete, I want to change it.

He should have a lot of fans now, so he doesn't need to hold back like before, and it's nothing to deduct some.Sure enough, the system agreed to him and exchanged all the condiments that could be used, all in small packages.The next moment, Yu Xi felt her trouser pocket bulge.

Unexpectedly, the child didn't go to catch water worms for him, but instead called Mo Zhilan to him.

The tall young man walked in with a smile that was not a smile, and looked at the box on the low stool, which contained a half-eaten ugly steamed bun.He sneered: "Xixi, can't you eat it? I've been eating this kind of food for a long time."

"What are you thinking? You said you want to cook that kind of food. That kind of food is not even included in the optical brain ingredients book. Are you responsible for any problems? There are no doctors here. If you die, you will die." Mo Zhilan narrowed his eyes.

Yu Xi said sincerely and without evasion: "No, it's not that I can't eat it. I just think that the children here can't eat these. They need nutrition."

Mo Zhilan didn't speak.

"Believe me, I'm not talking nonsense. Think about it, before the furry beast and thorn fruit, as well as squid and bullfrog, no one thought they could be eaten, right?" Yu Xi said: "If you are worried, I will You can take the first bite."

Mo Zhilan has complex eyes, his only weakness may be the people here.When he was exiled here at the beginning, it was the people here who shared the food that allowed him to survive.So after he went out, he didn't cut off the connection with this place, and kept secretly transporting supplies here.

In fact, it's not that he doesn't have a starship. He broke into the military headquarters impulsively this time, and he didn't know what he was doing.Is it a childish declaration of war?Or just pure... Jealousy of Rongdi.

At this time, Hei Zai, who had been eavesdropping outside the door, poked his head out and called out softly, "Brother Mo..."

Mo Zhilan was extremely irritable, and his last line of attack and defense was broken, "You can do whatever you want. But don't think you can escape, I am monitoring you all the time."

After he finished speaking, he walked out, and the child slipped in, holding a broken basket in his arms, with a big messy thing in it.As soon as he put the big basket on the ground, he came over to untie the knot for Yu Xi.He took care to untie it and put it away, instead of cutting it off with a sharp object like a knife, because the mission materials here are quite scarce.

Yu Xi's hand was freed first, and Mo Zhilan was bound mercilessly. His wrist bones were already red and swollen, and he still trembled slightly when he was standing in the air.The one on the feet is more serious, the old bedposts are too dirty, Yu Xi's skin is sensitive, and now it is a little bit allergic, and it is red.

Obviously it has nothing to do with the child, but he looked very guilty, touched it lightly and said, "I'm sorry...we don't have a doctor here, do you hurt?"

Yu Xi didn't care, he shook his head and then cast his eyes on the thing that had been struggling to get out of the basket.

The child explained: "I got you the ugliest one!"

Yu Xi admired: "Wow, it's so beautiful."

The two spoke at the same time.

Hei Zi: "..."

This big brother is really not good at aesthetics.Is the outside world so strange?

Yu Xi had a feeling of being treated as a country bumpkin by a child who had never seen the world, so she laughed.

The child is very good at fishing, and what he fishes looks like a French blue lobster. The shrimp is very fat, with a large head and claws, and the shell on the body is orange with blue spots.As soon as Yu Xi saw it, he could associate it with its delicious taste, so he naturally thought it was very beautiful.

The child had great strength, so he offered to lead the way with a basket, and took Yuxi to the only kitchen in their place.On weekdays, an old woman is in charge of the food, her hands are thick with calluses, looking at Yu Xi's white palms with fine skin and tender flesh, she couldn't bear to hand things over to him.

The lady didn't speak fluently and asked Hei Zai if Yu Xi really knew how to cook.

Yu Xi nodded with a smile. A large group of carrot heads had already crowded outside the door, looking inside curiously, greedy and nervous.Hei Zai said that the big brother said that these water bugs are edible, is it true?Brother Mo can also cook but has never done it before, but they haven't eaten meat for a long time...

Hei Zai pointed to the things on the stove, and said generously that he could use them casually, but the expression on his face was very distressed.Yu Xi looked amused and asked him, "Do you have any ice here? Where's the clean water?"

Hei Zai nodded, pointed to a side door behind the stove, and told him that there was an ice cellar inside.For water, they dug a few wells themselves, and he brought a bucket in after a while.

This place is very desolate, and there are not many people living there, but there are not many.Yu Xi roughly glanced over, and there were only a dozen or twenty small radish heads. So many people simply cooked a slightly lighter and more nutritious soup for everyone to pad their stomachs.

He is going to make a simple version of bridge lobster and shrimp soup with small green dragons and shrimps that look like red bearded shrimps.The blue lobster is fat, thick, tender, rich in flavor, and sweet in taste, so he knocked on the board to make a snowflake shrimp bucket.In fact, it was supposed to be a famous dish in Yangzhou, snowflake crab, but there is no crab here, so I replaced it with big lobster.

The blue lobster is full of vitality and keeps jumping.Yu Xi stuffed two wooden sticks into its big claws, and it kept pinching it foolishly, obediently not moving.Hei Zai stared dumbfounded at the side as Yu Xi cleaned up the big water worm, and then stuffed it into the ice chips to "calm down". The whole process was extremely obedient.

There are not many meat dishes here, but there are still some good vegetarian dishes. There is a small vegetable garden behind the kitchen.Mo Zhilan might have brought the rapeseed. The children took good care of them. Yu Xi went to pick a basket of cabbage, tomatoes, corn and the like and went back to the kitchen.

The meat of the red prawns is very firm and smooth, and the sweetness of the meat is obvious.After cleaning Yuxi, peel the shells and chop them into meat paste, beat a few egg whites, stir them into a paste, add white pepper powder to remove the fishy smell, and directly knead them into small shrimp slippery.

Urine for Xiao Qinglong, pry the sharp knife into the gap in the head and make a horizontal cut.Yu Xi's delicate and slender hands broke off the head with one hand, and grabbed the shrimp's body with the other. He twisted his hands at 45 degrees, and with a rattling sound, the poor big water worm was decapitated.

A bunch of kids peeking outside the door: "..."

Really, my friends and I were stunned.jpg

Are aliens this scary? !He was soft and weak, but he was so ruthless in his attacks. They immediately felt that the previously ferocious big water worm now looked a little bit more innocent.

Shrimp brains are quite dirty, and it is not good to eat too much. Yu Xi did not keep it according to the traditional method, but discarded it. The umami taste depends on the shrimp yellow.The cover of the prawns is very hard, and the knife here is a bit blunt and has not been able to chop well.

The little kids outside the door were horrified when they heard the terrible sound of thumping, followed by an unhappy "tsk", and then the sound of sharpening knives. They were frightened and covered this beautiful brother one after another. Zhang Cheng is several times more terrifying than the big water bug.

The cabbage, corn kernels and tomatoes were blanched in water one after another, and the shrimp slipped through the water once, and it became tender and Q-bomb.Yu Xi called out to the children outside the door, and all the children outside the door trembled in fright, standing straight like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, with "I'm good, don't eat me" written on their faces.

Yu Xi: "...?"

"I'm asking everyone to bring their own bowls and pass through the boiling water," Yu Xi said.

The children yelled "Okay!", and then dispersed to get bowls and chopsticks from each nest, and some even took more than one bowl, which was for the adults in the family.Adults have to go out to work during the day, and basically don't stay at home.

The bowls and chopsticks are soaked in boiling water, which can keep warm while being sterilized. After a while, the thick soup is poured in to keep the deliciousness of the thick soup to the maximum extent.

The oil is heated, and the lobster shell is removed, which instantly stimulates the umami taste of the lobster, and the prawn shell quickly turns red.After the oil has passed, pour the shrimp shells back into the pot to sauté until fragrant. There is no white wine to enhance the aroma, so Yu Xi had to use the most original onion and ginger water to remove the fishy smell and enhance the aroma.

When the water pot is opened, the hot steam rises in an instant, stirring up the umami taste of the lobster, and the egg whites are scalded.The next bit of icing sugar improves the freshness, and the soup gradually turns into a rich milky white.

With a spoon in the big pot, the smooth white soup is rich and rich like silk.The child outside the door was really about to cry just by smelling the smell, swallowing saliva non-stop, and staring straight at it.Why is this big water bug so fragrant!

Yuxi asked everyone to pick up the bowls and shake off the water to line up. One by one, he spread the boiled shrimp legs, green river vegetable leaves, corn kernels and tomato kernels on the bottom of the bowls, and then covered with a few slices of noodles Thinly cut the lobster meat and a few shrimp balls, and then asked them to put the bowl on the table, scoop up a spoonful of thick white fresh soup and pour it into it.

"Zi la——" The hot soup gently rolled up the raw shrimp slices, turning them into a beautiful pearly white.

The child who had just received the soup couldn't hold it back, and didn't go out of the kitchen. He just slipped aside and let out a sigh of relief. It was so delicious that he almost shed tears.

There is a layer of clear red on the surface of the thick white soup, which is tomato juice, sour and appetizing.There are shrimp yellow in the lobster soup, the fragrance is very strong, and the lobster meat that is just cooked by QQ bombs is so crisp that it is speechless.

The corn kernels are fragrant and sweet, like yellow jadeite embedded in white marble.The Qingjiang vegetable is sweet and refreshing, and it relieves the greasy taste of the fragrant lobster soup just right.Not to mention the soft and bouncy shrimp balls, the delicious juice that sprays out after a bite can burn your tongue, but it is so delicious.It was so delicious that they couldn't even bear to ask them to breathe, and they didn't want to let a trace of fragrance overflow from their mouths.

After eating the hot soup, the empty stomach seemed to be gently caressed by the most gentle hands.Hei Zi's eye sockets were slightly moist, and he gently pinched his hands in his pockets.

The child's translucent glass-like eyes engraved the figure of bending down to serve the child soup into his mind, and Hei Zai silently made a decision.

Most of the children on this desolate star were surprisingly well-behaved. They didn't push, jostle, jostle, fight, and scramble. Yu Xi quickly cleaned up a large pot of soup and ingredients.

He ate the remaining half of the ugly steamed bun, and didn't drink a sip of the lobster soup.His throat was a little choked and he couldn't swallow it. He hammered his chest twice before he finished eating.Although his wrist was still swollen after being tied up, and he was still trembling slightly after cooking a pot of soup, he had to cook the next dish non-stop.

The hungry children were finally able to eat with their stomachs open. Seeing how greedy and reluctant to finish their meal, Yu Xi decided to let them eat until they were full.

Yu Xi loosened his muscles and bones, cleaned the pot, and before he started cooking, his arm was suddenly pulled by a small hand.

"What's wrong?" Yu Xi asked the nervous Hei Zai.

"Little brother, come here..."

"Huh?" Yu Xi didn't understand.

Hei Zai was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, he grabbed him and dragged him away, whispering, "Come on, come to the vegetable garden."

Yu Xi didn't know why, but still followed him.Walking into the vegetable garden, he opened the door slightly and asked, "What's the matter?"

Thin beads of sweat appeared on the tip of the child's nose. It was unknown whether it was from nervousness or from the heat from drinking the soup.He took something into his trouser pocket with one hand, grabbed Yu Xi's hand with the other, and quickly stuffed a small object into his hand, "Here."

Yu Xi was startled, this cold touch...

With his palms slightly open, a light blue magnetic ring lying quietly is his optical brain!

The child scratched his face in a hurry, and said hesitantly: "You, do you want this very much? I... I saw that Brother Mo has one in his hand, and there is another one in the control room... I secretly took it out of."

Yu Xi was so surprised that he was speechless for a while.

The child begged him: "You were kidnapped here, do you want to go back? I'll give you this, you, don't tell Brother Mo that I gave it to you, okay?"

Yu Xi was startled, and then reacted quickly.Judging from Mo Zhilan's reaction to the control room at that time, others should not be allowed to enter the control room at ordinary times. It would be a great risk for a child to steal it, so he can't keep it.But...you can do a little trick.

Without saying a word, Yu Xi activated the optical brain.Seeing the ring flicker slightly and then dimmed, Yu Xi switched it to sleep mode instead of undetectable off mode, and then put the optical brain back into the child's trouser pocket.

"Hei Zi, if you find the right opportunity, put it back in its original position if you can. If you don't have a chance, keep it on and don't say a word, you know?"

The child nodded, and Yu Xi stroked his little head, "You're so good, let's go out to eat."

Next, it's up to Major General Rong.
