Chapter 22 New Environment and New Look, Celebrate with Braised Chicken

After hastily saying goodbye to Lan Qian and the others, Jiang Ruan and Mu Zexi embarked on a journey to Capital Star.

The specifications of the jump train leading to the capital star are obviously different from those of the special train from star 14 to Lanjia.Mu Zexi took Jiang Ruan onto the special train and found a carriage dedicated to the two of them.

As soon as the door was closed, Jiang Ruan began to look at the decorations in the box.Just the right seat for two, with bright lights.The most wonderful thing is that the outer wall is transparent. Sitting on the seat, the vast stars seem to be within reach.

"This wall is quite interesting. Can you really see the outside? But what if some passengers have a fear of heights, or the space is dense?" Jiang Ruan leaned over and poked the transparent wall with great interest, with a piece of tentacles Hard and cold.

"You can use the controls to adjust the visibility. On the inside of the real outer wall, it's just a simulated display screen." Mu Ze analyzed with a smile and shook his head, thinking of the scene where Jiang Ruan was so exhausted that he fell asleep just now, "The seat can be adjusted into a bed , do you need some sleep?"

"Not sleepy anymore." Jiang Ruan waved his hand, "Will this trip take a long time?"

"It takes a little longer than our journey from star 14 to Lan's house, but it won't take a day and a half. If it is the speed of civilian transition, it will take so long to go from the frontier of the empire to the federation." Mu Zexi called out his seat On the edge of the electronic touchpad, slender fingers swipe across the pages one by one. "What would you like to eat?"

"What's there to eat? Let me take a look first." Jiang Ruan also imitated Mu Zexi's movement and opened the panel to check.I left in a hurry and didn't have time to prepare food, so I just came to try the cooking works of the original star. "What is this? Millet soup? There are vegetables and meat. But why does this meat look weird?"

"Try it." Mu Zexi smiled helplessly, "These dishes are all in charge of special cooks. They are prepared in advance at the capital star jump special train dispatching center and delivered frozen. There should not be many customers who choose cooking dishes. We should be able to eat it.”

Jiang Ruan nodded aside, watching Mu Zexi place the order smoothly and pay with the optical brain on his wrist.Before chatting with Mu Zexi for a few minutes, there was a knock on the door.

"Hello, two distinguished guests. The service you need has arrived, order No. [-], please check..."

Mu Zexi pressed the door open button, and the heavy metal door slid open soundlessly.Jiang Ruan turned his head to look over, and saw a robot of equal height, carrying a huge tray, covered firmly with a circular metal cover.He pressed a control button under the table, only to see that the table was divided into two and folded, and the hollow space just fit the size of the tray.

The robot retrieved the insulation cover, and the heat steamed up.As soon as the robot left the room, Jiang Ruan went up to look at these cooking works curiously. "Vegetables? And this is meat, and a bowl of soup? Is this a nutrient?"

"Well, the taste is not as good as freshly made ones. If there is a chance, we will go to the restaurant of Capital Star to eat once." Mu Zexi nodded.

"Did they do a good job? I want to see how their peers are doing. I read the map before, but I don't know the taste." Jiang Ruan agreed.

"It's okay, there aren't many dishes." Mu Zexi lowered his head and thought about it, his thick and slender eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes, "They have a few recipes, and I saw you do it too. But you have a lot The techniques they don’t have, and the ingredients they don’t have.”

"Is this a compliment to me?" Jiang Ruan chuckled, picked up a vegetable leaf and put it in his mouth.

"Of course, otherwise I would still praise myself?" Mu Zexi pursed his lips, "What do you think of the taste?"

"Is it true?" Jiang Ruan smiled and tilted her head.

"En." Mu Zexi hummed noncommittally.

"Green vegetables, the best standard is to keep them crisp and moist. One bite, the stalks will not be old, and the leaves will not be yellow. Some vegetables need to add a lot of oil because the oil can be cooked at high temperature and quickly, so that the effect of locking water is good. Some people love Eat vegetables with heavy salt, but it’s not impossible to boil them like this. The key is that the sweetness of the vegetables is gone, and it tastes like fried wood.” Jiang Ruan shook his head.

Mu Zexi didn't say a word, and took a chopsticks of green vegetables into his mouth, nodding with a face that really looked like that.

"By the way, how to solve the problem of ingredients colliding?" Jiang Ruan frowned, "Actually, I think such a rule is not very reasonable."

"How to say?" Mu Zexi raised his head with great interest, "The Gene Center can tell whether they are of the same species. If the similarity is not extremely high, it can generally clear up the misunderstanding."

"That's not the problem." Jiang Ruan shook his head, "I simply think that why a variety of ingredients can be privately owned is a matter of quality and quantity. For example, if I discover a certain ingredient first, I may subconsciously think that it is A species is owned by me, but in fact it only includes that one plant. Not to mention that other people may originate the same species, if someone else has a variant ingredient, wouldn't it be endless to argue about ownership?"

Listening to Jiang Ruan's words, Mu Zexi nodded unconsciously.

"For example, red beans, which are divided into many types. Different varieties have different genes and different traits. During the breeding process of plants, the offspring will have genetic mutations. I think the Rong family may not be able to tell what they want. What kind of breed do you want to possess?" Jiang Ruan felt more and more reasonable as she spoke, shaking her head in surprise.

"I think what you said makes sense, but it's impossible to overturn this issue now." Mu Ze said in a deep voice, "Because the ingredients are not popular, but any thing that is popular, there is no kind of possession. Only scarcity will trigger Competition for the right to use."

"I understand." Jiang Ruan sighed, "Let's solve the current problem first, maybe the ingredients will be abundant in the future, so we don't have to worry about this problem."

"Pay attention to the ingredients in your badge when you take them out." Mu Zexi pondered for a moment before opening his mouth. "There are not many badges with the effect of space buttons, and it may attract suspicion if you show them in public. You have to pay attention to it yourself."

"Understood, I want to find an opportunity to gradually authorize the genetic center to cultivate food." Jiang Ruan rolled his eyes, "Actually, I don't know what to do with this kind of welfare. I don't know why it came here. I'm not sure what it is It’s time to disappear. It’s better to give these materials to the gene center now, and other chefs can buy them if they want to use them, and let me use them.”

"...The ingredients are highly valued by the chef, are you sure you want to do this?" A trace of surprise flashed in Mu Zexi's eyes.

"I don't think it's very interesting to seize this advantage. It's better to study cooking skills. I'm a chef, not a vegetable shop owner, nor a farm owner." Jiang Ruan shook his head decisively, with a bit of tone Mischievously, "As long as I'm a good cook, I don't have to worry about no customers looking for me. By the way, this meat is really not good, it's dry and woody. I'll make some delicious treats when you come home."

"Well, Charlie and Xiaoqi have arrived, waiting for us at home." Mu Zexi smiled and raised his eyes, seeing the young cook beaming with a little complacency, he also laughed, and his perfectly shaped eyes also smiled There was a slit. "When you say that, I really can't eat anymore. What delicious food will I have when I go back?"

"Well, let's make braised chicken and rice, and then fry a plate of chicken wings. Didn't you say that you will go to the genetic center later?" Jiang Ruan remembered what Mu Zexi had mentioned to him on the way .

"Well, yes. After sending you back, I will take your red bean sample to find a friend and let him deal with it." Mu Zexi put down the chopsticks in his hand, "It will be there in a while, take a rest."

The two of them chatted about the cooking meals on the special train, but they were very involved in chatting and talking nonsense.Mu Zexi told Jiang Ruan about his childhood, and Jiang Ruan talked about different styles of dishes.At the stall where Jiang Ruan explained Sichuan cuisine to Mu Ze, the special train stopped smoothly at the entrance of the capital star's intercity passage.

It wasn't until he got off the special train with the crowd that Jiang Ruan realized that Capital Star had completely exceeded his expectations.No longer the round planets of No. 14 and No. 6 stars, the capital star is completely composed of pieces of divided floating land, and the transportation channels are connected between the areas. You can also see the continuous flow of aircraft in it.

"Wow..." Jiang Ruan was stunned looking at the scene in front of him. "How did this come about..."

"All areas are covered by a protective cover, look there." Standing behind Jiang Ruan, Mu Zexi bent down and pointed to Jiang Ruan, "A21 area is the venue where the God of Cookery Festival is held every year. Hundreds of millions of people flow. Only during that time, A21 has the right to directly open the jump site. A21 and other areas, and other resident star jump places need to be booked in advance, because it is easy to have empty tickets. "

"So, so there is such a large piece of land dedicated to the God of Cookery Festival?" Jiang Ruan blinked in shock.He thought it was just a simple convention and exhibition center, but he didn't expect that there would be several city-sized areas.

"Yes," Mu Zexi nodded, "The central location is from A01 to 04, where the royal family and government affairs departments are located. The gene center is in A05, which is a little smaller. You may need to visit frequently in the future. Teachers’ Association, in District A16. Our home is in District A19, which is actually more convenient for you to travel.”

Jiang Ruan nodded as if he was pecking rice, and looked around curiously.Follow Mu Zexi to leave the intercity corridor and get on the regional shuttle bus.The appearance of many areas flashed outside the window, making Jiang Ruan curious.

Unlike the deserted and quiet star 14, the capital star is obviously much more prosperous.Jiang Ruan seemed to see the square and the factory, as well as many walking residents.The speed of the shuttle bus of Capital Star is obviously much faster than that of Star 14, and it arrives at the A19 area where Mu Zexi lives in the blink of an eye.The shuttle car stopped in the sky for a short while, and Mu Zexi corrected the landing location, positioning it above his residence.

This is the same feeling as flying, which is much faster and smoother than flying.Jiang Ruan pulled the window and looked out. There were towering buildings below, and there were places for shuttle cars to land on the top.As soon as the shuttle bus stopped, Mu Zexi took Jiang Ruan out of the bus and stood on the ring device on the ground.

"Hold on to me." Mu Zexi said so, but his arms didn't stop, wrapping around Jiang Ruan's waist.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Jiang Ruan blinked in confusion.He didn't quite understand why Mu Zexi took him to stand on a "big round cake".

The "big round cake" probably felt the weight of the human body, and automatically bounced a layer of translucent protective cover around the two of them, making Jiang Ruan shrink back to Mu Zexi's side in fright.

"Come on, your hand." After putting his hand on it, Mu Zexi pulled Jiang Ruan's hand up to stick it up. Seeing the protective cover light up like a hand, Mu Zexi quickly chose it. After a few options, he let go of Jiang Ruan's hand. "You can enter and exit freely after opening the authority."

Jiang Ruan blinked, seeing the words "Hello" and a vivid smiling face appearing on the protective cover, she was in a bad mood.

"Let's go to our own floor, Troy, please slow down, Ruan Ruan is not used to it yet." Mu Zexi tightened his grip on Jiang Ruan's waist.

"Okay." A brisk electronically synthesized voice sounded in Jiang Ruan's ears.

Before Jiang Ruan could react, he felt his body sinking, as if being pulled down by the "big round cake", and fell onto Mu Zexi when he felt unsteady.

"Be careful." Mu Zexi stabilized the people around him, and his tone brought a little smile, "His name is Troy, and sometimes he is very naughty. When you take the walker in the building, tell him to slow down. When you are sleeping, you must Turn off his permission to enter the room, otherwise you will not be able to sleep at all. He is in charge of your travel in the building, and you can ask him for help at any time, but I hope you will not encounter this situation. "

When the walker stopped, Jiang Ruan saw three doors on the corridor outside the protective cover.

"Yeah." Jiang Ruan nodded hastily. It turns out that this thing is called a traveler.And this Troy turned out to be an artificial intelligence.Following Mu Zexi out of the traveler, one of the doors was opened, and the spacious living room with simple decoration and cold colors came into view.Apart from the familiar pillows brought by star No. 14, there are no other decorations. "It's so monotonous..."

"I used to sleep and work at home, and there was no entertainment. You can play when you come here, and there are some good neighbors living around, so you can come and go." Mu Zexi nodded, raised his head and raised his voice, "Charlie? Little seven?"

Jiang Ruan's eyes lit up, watching the door open automatically, and two robots, one big and one small, rushed out.Jiang Ruan didn't react until the humanoid robot stood in front of Jiang Ruan and looked at him eagerly. "Charlie?"

Behind the humanoid robot was the familiar Xiaoqi, who was still obediently standing behind the humanoid robot with a dull look.

"Hug!" The humanoid Charlie and Mu Zexi were about the same height, and before Jiang Ruan could answer, he hugged Jiang Ruan and hugged Jiang Ruan in his arms.After that, she still wanted to pull Jiang Ruan's cheek, but Mu Zexi ruthlessly tore it open and threw it aside.

"...Uh, Xiaoqi, do you want to hug?" Jiang Ruan watched Charlie being pulled away, revealing Xiaoqi who was half tall, and always felt that the staring eyes had a mysterious longing similar to Charlie's. .

"Master." Xiaoqi's eyes flickered, and a steady voice without any emotion came from the speaker.

"Hey, let's hug one." Jiang Ruan was amused by Xiao Qi's dull expression, and bowed to hug Xiao Qi's short, chubby body.

"Okay, I'll go up and change my clothes. You prepare a handful of red beans, and I'll take them to the genetic center. I just contacted a friend, and he said he got a sample from the Rong family. You can take a look at it at home. Everything on the 14th star I brought it here, if you still need something, buy it." Mu Zexi coughed in a low voice.

"Okay, then I'll stay at home and cook." Jiang Ruan nodded, followed Mu Zexi's footsteps and walked in, ready to wrap the prepared red beans and put them on the tea table, rubbed a pillow, and took Charlie, the giant little tail, came into the kitchen.

"Jiang Jiang Jiang Jiang! What are we going to do? I can eat after changing my body!" Charlie circled Jiang Ruan with excitement on his face.

"Make a stewed chicken, and then fry a plate of chicken wings." Jiang Ruan smiled, "Can I eat it with a different body?"

"Yes, this is my real body. I have the ability to sense taste, but I just can't digest it." Charlie nodded, "But Xiaoqi can't eat it, and robots with lower versions can't handle food."

"That's it..." Jiang Ruan was thoughtful, and put the ingredients in front of Charlie, "It's very simple to eat, just give me a hand. These ingredients are mushrooms, ginger and peppers, sliced ​​and shredded horizontally It’s up to you to do whatever you want, but don’t cut it crookedly. I’ll handle the chili and chicken legs.”

After finishing speaking, Jiang Ruan prepared the kitchen utensils for Charlie, and then began to process the chicken drumsticks.Cut the baishengsheng chicken legs into sections and set aside.Cut the dried peppers into small circles and put them on a clean plate for later use.After doing all this, Jiang Ruan looked up and found that Charlie was already waiting aside.All the ingredients on the chopping board are cut neatly, and each mushroom slice has the same thickness.Each ginger shred is uniform in thickness.

"Oh, it's so fast. Obsessive-compulsive disorder will like your style very much. This knife is perfect." With a sigh, Jiang Ruan set up the pot and began to fry the sugar.The transparent sugar is slowly heated in cold oil over a low heat, melting into a beautiful brown color.When the sugar was completely melted, Jiang Ruan put the cut chicken legs into the pot, and after adding the cooking wine, he turned on high heat and quickly stir-fried.

The chicken quickly turned brown, and after being stir-fried, it was put together with the ginger pepper that came in later, bubbling with the sauce, exuding a unique and tempting aroma of chicken .

Charlie snorted beside him, wanting only to look into the pot.This kind of fragrance is a strong smell that he has never smelled when he is beside Mu Zexi, even though he has seen so many delicious food in restaurants.

"It's not cooked yet, wait." Jiang Ruan added a bowl of water to the pot, covered the pot and let it simmer.In less than 10 minutes, the aroma of braised chicken spreads throughout the room.

The air outlet of the pot lid was exhausting continuously, and Charlie couldn't move his eyes from the spray of water mist.It's really delicious, even he, a robot who never feels hungry, can't bear it anymore...

At the beginning, it was the aroma of chicken. Over time, even the shiitake mushrooms were gradually cooked, and the aroma became complex and layered.Jiang Ruan didn't think it was enough, so she grabbed a handful of green peppers and put them down. Seeing that the juice hadn't collected enough, she covered the pot again and started to simmer.

Charlie glanced at it, and found that the soup in the pot was much less, and it was thickly wrapped on the chicken, which was extremely oily. Even the snow-white mushroom meat had the brown color of the chicken, as if it had absorbed enough sauce.But what Jiang Jiang said was not yet familiar, so he could only look forward to it.

"Come on, wash the rice for me, just three or two times. I'll prepare fried chicken wings." Jiang Ruan pushed Charlie's hard and cold body, directed to cook the rice, and started to marinate the chicken wings.

Pan-fried chicken wings are one of the most popular meat dishes.Chicken wing meat is more tender and soft than chicken leg meat, and it is easy to cook with or without chicken breast meat, which can be regarded as the best meat.

The marinade mixed with pepper, green onion and ginger wraps the chicken wings firmly, and when the braised chicken is almost juiced, it will be marinated in place.The stewed chicken pot was turned off to low heat, and Jiang Ruan came to cook the chicken wings.

"Jiang Jiang, is this also thrown into the pot like braised chicken?" Charlie, who had gone out to tease Xiao Qi, came back and watched Jiang Ruan's movements curiously.

"No, since it's fried chicken wings, you have to be patient and fry carefully." Jiang Ruan shook his head, changed to a more suitable pan and poured oil on it, and waited for the hot oil to heat up the pan, and then used his hands carefully He picked up the marinated chicken wings one by one and placed them evenly in the oil.

When the fresh meat touched the oily surface, there was a popping sound, causing Charlie to pull Jiang Ruan back nervously. "It's dangerous! The sound is so loud, stay away!"

"It's okay, I won't be bombed." Jiang Ruan chuckled and waved his hands, "What if I was bombed? Which chef didn't get bombed?"

As he spoke, he quickly put all the chicken wings in, and stood aside and waited.

Charlie didn't understand why Jiang Ruan stopped moving after putting down the chicken wings.He didn't understand until Jiang Ruan rummaged through a chicken wing with a shovel.

On the side that touches the bottom of the pot, the incisions made by Jiang Ruan three times were cracked due to the high temperature, and the entire surface was burnt and crispy yellow.
