Professor, your turtle!

For Fu Mingyuan, who can barely survive on canned food, the kitchen is not a necessary place, not to mention, he did not have enough energy to maintain the luxury of hot meals.

Therefore, the kitchen became one of the first facilities to be abandoned.After closing the area and cutting off the heating, coupled with the fact that it has not been used for a long time, it is estimated that most of the equipment has already been frozen.

At present, the only thing that can temporarily serve as a kitchen is the simple stove that Fu Mingyuan packed up.

The last time Ji Fan saw it, it was very rough, like a black material stall being dragged by a tricycle, and even the liquefied gas tank was hung carelessly outside.

However, to make a pot of lettuce with oyster sauce, the "black material stall" is enough.

Ji Fan mentioned his plan, Fu Mingyuan's eyes lit up immediately, and then he pretended not to care, and said lightly: "The energy is still very tight, isn't it a bit of a waste to use it for cooking?"

Ji Fan: "..." You obviously want to eat it!Otherwise, what are you doing staring at that lettuce!

"Blanching is enough, it doesn't consume too much energy," Ji Fan explained, "Is there any liquefied gas left? It won't be used anywhere else."

Fu Mingyuan rested his fingers on the table bit by bit, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Ji Fan was cruel, and wrote: "But I really want to eat." Holding up the writing board, he even blinked, with a look of "Please".

From childhood to adulthood, due to family reasons, Ji Fan rarely had the opportunity to practice acting like a baby, and only occasionally dared to ask in front of his sister.

Therefore, right now his begging posture is very unskilled, he stumbles and looks clumsy, but Fu Mingyuan immediately blushes when he sees it.

He looked away, his ears were slightly red, and said: "Since you have said so, then try it." After he finished speaking, he muttered disdainfully: "You spoiled little turtle."

Ji Fan: "..." If you are spoiled, please be spoiled, as long as you are happy.

——In order to gain favorability with delicious food, he also went all out.

Although he said "don't eat" and "waste", Fu Mingyuan was very active in helping.He went around the living room and brought back dried minced garlic, oil, salt, and even a handful of spaghetti.

Ji Fan didn't expect to have such a rich reserve of condiments, it was a pleasant surprise.

Seeing his simple and happy appearance, Fu Mingyuan felt awkward again: "Of course there are some left over, I don't usually cook."

Ji Fan: "..." Yes, after all, he is a man who can boil rice into stone.

Of course, he is generous and doesn't care about the attitude of the other party.Ji Fan just smiled, and walked to the desk with the lettuce.

"Do you want a knife?" Fu Mingyuan took out a multifunctional spring knife, tried the blade, and muttered, "It doesn't seem sharp enough".He bent down, rummaged under the bed for a long time, pulled out a machete from nowhere, and handed it to Ji Fan as if offering a treasure.

Ji Fan's face was full of black lines: If you want to be so cruel, just tear it up with your hands!

After he promised a thousand times that "shredded by hand" tastes better, Fu Mingyuan reluctantly put the knife back.

Ji Fan breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his gaze, and prepared to concentrate on washing the vegetables.

Suddenly, the freshly peeled lettuce was snatched away.

Ji Fan: "???"

"I'll do it." Fu Mingyuan raised his chin, "You continue to tear."

The lettuce is very clean, so it doesn't need to be washed too carefully, and clean water is precious, Ji Fan originally only planned to simply go through the water once.

He was a little puzzled, and while tearing the vegetable leaves, he turned his head and saw that Fu Mingyuan's hands were soaked in the cold sink, and his joints were red from the cold.

Ji Fan opened his eyes slightly, his gaze moved up and fell on the expressionless side face of the other party.

"What are you looking at?" Fu Mingyuan noticed his gaze, and glanced casually from the end of his eyes, "I'm just worried that you didn't wash well."

But Ji Fan stood still, his gaze was focused and serious, his dark eyes were wide open, and even the eyelashes were distinct.

Being looked at like this, Fu Mingyuan's heart tightened, and the previous feeling seemed to come back again, like being drunk, but with a little more ecstasy.

"Here, take it." He said in a rough voice, pushing the basket in front of Ji Fan, deliberately not to look at him.

Only then did Ji Fan come back to his senses, hugging the washed lettuce, smiling until his eyes rolled up.

"Thank you." He lip-synced.

The two cooperated, and soon, the two lettuces were cleaned up and lay clean in the vegetable basket.

It just so happened that the water Ji Fan had boiled was also boiling. He poured the kettle into the small pot, and the steaming heat rose immediately.

It is best to "steam" lettuce with oyster sauce, so that it is not easy to lose nutrients.But now resources are scarce, so we can only change to "cooking".

The stewing pot needs to be stewed for four to five minutes, but if you boil the water, ten seconds is enough to boil it.

Ji Fan moved quickly, and after the lettuce was all cooked, the remaining boiling water was not wasted.He dumped most of it into another pot, brought to a boil and served the pasta.Bring the rest back to the boil and mix in the oyster sauce and minced garlic.

——If fresh minced garlic is used, this step should be fried in a pan.

However, it is wasteful and troublesome to start the pot again. Moreover, the dry minced garlic lacks water and is easy to burn when fried. It is simply mixed with oyster sauce and cooked directly, which is not lacking in flavor.

After the oyster sauce is heated, the rich sauce fragrance is released.Although the water was added, the soup was still thick, the dark brown color melted a little, and it was red like soy sauce. When the pot was tilted, the aroma of minced garlic could be smelled from time to time.

Ji Fan swallowed involuntarily.He secretly glanced sideways, and saw Fu Mingyuan standing with arms folded, with a calm expression on his face, but his eyes were firmly glued to the pot of soup.

Ji Fan withdrew his gaze, poured the juice on the lettuce without breaking him, and mixed it carefully.

They boiled a large pot of lettuce and put it in a basin full of piles.

It will take a few minutes for the pasta to be cooked, Ji Fan signaled Fu Mingyuan to eat the vegetables first.

"It won't taste good when it's cold."

"Not good," he said, swallowing lightly, "I'll wait for you."

Seeing that he insisted, Ji Fan stopped persuading him, took out the pasta, shook it dry, and divided it into two bowls.He was not willing to pour out the remaining noodle soup, and poured it into a secret food bag, which was convenient for the two of them to cover their hands.

The heating works normally, but in order to save energy, the room temperature does not dare to be adjusted too high.It's okay to cover under the quilt, but once you sit for a long time, your hands and feet will feel a little cold.

Fu Mingyuan was holding a bowl, with a warm water bag on his lap, and finally smiled: "Then I'll eat."

Ji Fan nodded, and took the lead in throwing a noodle.He ate very slowly, secretly looking at the person across the table from the edge of the bowl from time to time.

The man didn't speak, but his non-stop chewing and chopstick chopsticks flying showed how much he liked the food in front of him.

To be recognized for cooking skills can be said to be the greatest wish of every chef.What's more, the lettuce was grown by himself.Just watching him eat, Ji Fan felt satisfied.

——After all, this dish was originally specially made for Fu Mingyuan.Ji Fan can go back during the day, and if he wants to eat, can't he still have it?

However, in order not to let the other party notice the difference, he still took a piece and chewed it slowly.

This lettuce is really delicious. After being cooked, it has a softer, smoother and more refreshing taste than eating it raw. Coupled with the delicious oyster sauce, the taste is so fresh that people can swallow their tongues.

Ji Fan thought about it for a while before he was willing to swallow it.

"Why do you eat so little?" Fu Mingyuan said suddenly, frowning and put down the bowl.

Ji Fan shook his head, explaining that he doesn't like vegetables very much.

"I don't like shrimp, nor do I like vegetables." Fu Mingyuan hissed, "Too picky eaters will not grow tall."

Ji Fan: "???" Is this going to be hard?

"Don't you like meat more?" Fu Mingyuan thought seriously, "If it weren't for the abnormal phenomenon caused by extreme weather, maybe you could really hunt a seal and come back."

Ji Fan: "..." Hey, seals are forbidden animals!

Seeing that he didn't answer, Fu Mingyuan frowned: "If you don't eat seals, do you want to eat penguins?"

Ji Fan quickly shook his head, don't make trouble, his favorite bird is a penguin, okay?

The chubby little penguin, as well as the big fat penguin, are all healed, and even when they quack, he doesn't feel noisy.When I went to the zoo when I was a child, I could spend a whole day in the penguin house, lying on the glass and watching them feed their cubs, play, or mate (cough).

However, seals are also cute.When they were young, they were as white as a balloon-shaped cloud, only their noses and eyes were black, and when they called, their eyes narrowed into crescent shapes, as if they were acting like a baby...

After hearing his words, Fu Mingyuan was puzzled and frowned: "Since you like penguins, why do you like seals?"

Afraid that he would really catch the seals, Ji Fan had black lines all over his face, and hurriedly praised the cuteness of the seals.

Probably because Rainbow farted too much, Fu Mingyuan snorted coldly: "Cute? No matter how cute you are, you're still a rapist."

The British "Daily Mail" reported around 2014 that seals, as natural enemies of penguins, not only hunted them, but also occasionally hijacked and sexually assaulted penguins - this is the first and only case of mammals and penguins observed by humans The mating behavior of birds.

To make matters worse, the seals were not restricted by age, meat or vegetables, and even male penguins were hard to escape.It's fine to let it go after having a good time, the key is that the seal has a bad record of eating the victim, which can be described as bad.

Ji Fan: "..." But this is just the enmity between seals and penguins in the food chain. Why do you have to be so sincere?

Fu Mingyuan snorted, but didn't answer.

"However," Ji Fan grasped the key point of the other party's words, "You just said that the behavior was abnormal due to extreme weather? What's the situation?"

Fu Mingyuan explained: "The original purpose of selecting the location of this scientific research station is to facilitate close observation of animal behavior. Every year during the breeding season, female birds will enter the sea from the nearby bay. But they did not come this year."

"why?"

"I don't know," Fu Mingyuan said, "their nesting area is far inland, and only the female penguins will forage for food away from the group. I only noticed the abnormality after the summer breeding season began. At that time, most of the scientific expedition team had already evacuated. One cannot go that far alone."

Ji Fan pursed his lips, thinking of the endangered situation of Antarctic krill that was prompted by the system, his expression was a little dignified.

Although I don't know what happened, the biological chain in Antarctica is very fragile. As long as there is a problem with one link, the entire biological chain may collapse soon.

These examples all seem to indicate that something bad is going on...

Before he could figure it out, Fu Mingyuan had already finished his last bite, wiped his mouth and stood up.

The dishes and rice bowls on the table were clean, Ji Fan was amazed by his appetite, and complained that he would not keep it if he didn't want to keep it, he was really decisive...

Just thinking about it, a familiar small box suddenly landed in front of him.

Pistachio...ice cream?The last box of ice cream in Antarctica!

Ji Fan turned his head in confusion, and wrote, "Didn't you say that you can eat it as soon as you bring it back?" Why are you still keeping it?

"It's just children's snacks," Fu Mingyuan said lightly, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, "I don't like it. You can deal with it as you like."

Ji Fan froze for a moment, then realized something, and his heart moved slightly.

At that moment, his heart swelled, as if he was hiding a balloon secretly, and it bulged up slowly and carefully, a little sour, but warm.

——Is it intentional...for me to eat?

The man in front of him looked aloof.Ji Fan wanted to ask him, but he was too embarrassed to ask him, for fear that he had misunderstood him and was being affectionate.He felt itchy, like a cat was scratching.

Just when he finally plucked up the courage to speak, he suddenly heard the sound of his favorability gradually rising.
