Bug Star Notes

Shave off the bones and belly, wash the bones for later use, wash the meat and remove blood stains, place a kitchen towel under it, tilt the knife at [-] degrees, and slice the meat into pieces starting from the tail with the blade facing the tail.Then rub the sliced ​​meat with a tablespoon of salt repeatedly until the meat becomes crystal clear and transparent.

Although there are no grass carp, black fish, catfish, bighead fish and other fish commonly used for making sauerkraut fish on the worm planet, there are still edible fish-like creatures in the aquatic star beast. Qi Fei confirmed which earth dishes will be added for today's dinner For the dishes, I immediately placed an urgent order for the ingredients, and processed the ingredients as soon as the fresh ingredients were delivered.

"Xiongzhu." Yan stood aside while he was processing the ingredients, "Is the role of salt to make the meat slices more crystal clear?"

The female worm inquired, and recorded the method of the male master in her heart, so that she could cook the same dishes for the male master to taste in the future.

"Salt can absorb some of the moisture in the meat, making it more firm and elastic."

"understood."

Yan nodded in a teachable manner.

He repeated the guidance of the hero in his heart, and suddenly grasped the unusual key point again——

Firmer and more elastic!

"The hero..."

"Ok?"

Qi Fei, who was mixing seasonings and preparing marinated meat slices with his head down, noticed that his partner's voice suddenly became hesitant.

"Does this 'tighter bouncy' trick... work on any meat?"

"?"

Just wanted to answer that's not the case, but just asking about the handling of ingredients shouldn't make your partner's voice sound a little embarrassed.

……Excuse me?

Qi Fei stopped what he was doing and raised his head. He saw the brown-haired female who was slightly shy but seriously asking him questions.

"...what kind of 'meat' do you want to be more firm and elastic?" he asked.

"..." Yan didn't speak.

So Qi Fei changed the way of asking, "Where do you want the 'meat' to be more firm and elastic?"

"!"

The little thought was seen through by the male master, and the faint blush on the face quickly deepened, and the female felt her ears burning again, "I..." He hesitated for a moment, and said honestly under the gaze of the male insect, " I want to make the place that the hero will often enjoy more firm and elastic."

"..."

Qi Fei stared at his partner silently for a few seconds. He felt that his cooking steps were so serious, and such a serious way of handling ingredients could be misunderstood by the other party.

His hands were still stained with the smell of meat and seasoning powder, unable to knock the female on the head as usual, Qi Fei could only express his helplessness with a paralyzed face, "Are you treating yourself as a dish?"

Originally, he really wanted to express his helplessness, but it was not right after he said it.

He only listened to his partner's quick answer, "I hope it can become the 'dish' that the hero will never get tired of!"

"..."

Qi Fei looked down at the seasoning bowl he was mixing, and pushed a bunch of peppers on the cutting board to the female worm.

"?" Yan was a little puzzled.

"Cut the chili peppers in circles and get down to business." The black-haired male said to him with a paralyzed face.

"Yes."

Yan obediently took over the pile of seasonings and kitchen knives from the earth.

——Thinking about how to make the male master feel more delicious when eating is also a serious matter that every female insect should make unremitting efforts to learn!

He thought quietly in his heart, and his subordinates quickly cut up the peppers.

On the cooking table was a whole lot of bottles and cans taken out of small portable boxes, all of which were gifts from Si Ze and others for Qi Fei. Inside the style glass jar, there is a stream of red in different shades, which looks pretty good.

This kind of condiment that has never been seen before made Yan curious. After knowing that these are all things that the hero likes but not on the Zerg Planet, he couldn't help but take a piece of chili rings on the way of cutting peppers and put them in his mouth to taste. tasted -

"!!!"

At the first entrance, there seemed to be no abnormality, but when the chili rings touched the tip of the tongue and chewed twice, the hot stimulation immediately overflowed the entire mouth from the tip of the tongue, so strong that it even caused some pain, and the burning heat quickly passed from the mouth. Spread to throat and face.

What Qi Fei handed over to Yan was a bunch of millet peppers, which are the hottest peppers on earth. They are small in size and not strong in fragrance, but they are full of spiciness.

"Cough-cough-"

This stimulation stimulated the throat all the way along the swallowing action, and Yan couldn't restrain himself from coughing.

"Drink it."

A cup of dairy products exuding the aroma of milk was brought to his lips.

Qi Fei came over and patted the back for the female, and fed the glass of milk substitute into the other's mouth after the other had calmed down.

Capsaicin is insoluble in water, but the fat-soluble capsaicin chemically reacts with compounds in dairy products to relieve some of the spiciness and burn in the mouth.When being spicy by chili, dairy products are better than water for relieving spicy food.

"Well……"

After drinking the lotion, Yan really felt better. He looked at the hero gratefully, "Thank you very much."

Qi Fei went to the sink to wash his hands, wet a clean towel by the way, turned around and covered the female insect's face with the towel.

"How does it feel to taste spicy food for the first time?"

Even if he was busy with his back to his partner just now, but looking at the other party's face, he knew that the other party must have just tasted chili.

The corners of the eyes and the tip of the nose of the female have become red, and there are still physiological tears in the eye sockets that are spontaneously secreted by overstimulation.

"It's a very impactful and stimulating feeling." Yan pressed the hand of Shang Xiongzhu who was wiping his face, trying to pull the towel into his hand so that he could wipe it himself.

"I'll do it." Qi Fei avoided his hand that wanted to touch the towel, "You still have pepper water on your hand."

"Yes."

Yan, who had experienced the power of chili peppers, stopped touching the towel immediately.

He only thought about how the spicy taste that filled his entire mouth just now would feel on his face, and he felt that his face was about to burn.

"The hero is really powerful!"

He sincerely admired his hero, and admired the other party who actually liked this terrible condiment.

Qi Fei wiped Yan's face clean, touched the still red corners of the other's eyes, "I'm crying."

"!"

He just stated the objective facts, but the protagonist of the stated incident felt embarrassed.

Yan felt the heat on his face that hadn't faded away, and he didn't know if it was because the stamina from being stimulated by the pepper was still there, or because he felt ashamed about being scorched and cried, and his face had a fever again.

"Knock knock knock."

There were three knocks on the door, and the interval between each knock was precisely the same.

Since Yan was standing with his back to the door, Qi Fei, who was facing him, was facing the door.

Qi Fei saw Si Ze, who was supposed to be in the living room, appear by the kitchen door, "Ah Ze?"

Si Ze stood at the door of the kitchen and smiled when Qi Fei looked at him, "I'll see if there's anything I need to help."

"Don't bother."

When the hero called out the name of the person, Yan quickly turned around, stared at the human youth at the door, and moved a small step to block the other person's sight from his hero, "Since you are a guest, why not Can trouble the guests to be busy."

"Why bother?"

Being blocked from view made Si Ze's eyes dim for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal, and said very lightly, "When we lived together before, we often cooked with Ah Fei."

Instead of doing the stupid thing of trying to see Qi Fei through the female worm in front of him, he turned his gaze to the cooking table beside him, "Besides, if Ah Fei wants to cook earth dishes, it's better to let me, an earth person, help. A Fei cooperates tacitly, and the efficiency will be higher."

——'Living together', 'Cooking together', 'Tacit cooperation', 'Higher efficiency'.

Yan picked out the key points from the other party's words and felt deeply provocative.

"In the past, there was a common kitchen on every floor of the dormitory building. At that time, everyone did make a lot of things together."

Qi Fei who was standing behind him spoke.

He felt his back being patted by the hero, and only then realized that his body had unconsciously tensed up.

Qi Fei took two steps to the side, away from his partner's cover, he met Sze Ze again.

"But Aze." The black-haired male patted his partner's tense back lightly, and said, "You're right. It's rare to come to my house, and you came all the way from the earth." He looked at his friend calmly , "You are not only the guests of the insect star, but also the guests of my house, so we should just leave the cooking to us."

"..."

Si Ze An Jing looked at him for a moment, and the hand that was on the door frame dropped down.

"I see." He said, "Then I'll go to the living room and wait with them. If you need help, just call me. You're welcome."

After the young man finished speaking, he turned and left the kitchen door, and walked towards the living room.

Listening to the footsteps at the door gradually walking away until they could not be heard, Yan's tense body relaxed.

When he turned his head, he saw the hero was looking at him quietly.

"Lord."

He called out to the other party in a low voice, always feeling that he should explain something, but it was difficult to speak.

He is hostile to Xiongzhu, a human friend named Si Ze, who thinks that the other party has unruly plans for Xiongzhu, regards him as a rival in love, and worries that the other party will break his current harmonious and stable family relationship—how ​​can he talk to Xiongzhu about these things? Woolen cloth?

Qi Fei stared at the complex look in Yan's eyes, and he found that he was becoming more and more able to guess what his partner was thinking.

"Let's cook first."

He rubbed the other person's head, "Otherwise we won't be able to serve the meal on time when it's time to eat."

"Yes."

The male master's hand rubbing his hair stayed on top of his head for a while, and Yan took the opportunity to rub his head against the male's palm.

The meat is tender and elastic, the soup is delicious but not greasy, and the added millet pepper adds just the right amount of spiciness. The spiciness blends with the sourness and saltiness of the sauerkraut. The whole dish is bright in color and goes well with rice.

"Wow, I didn't expect to be able to eat sauerkraut fish and hot pot in Zongxing!"

The fragrant and hot food made Bai Hao forget all the "sad reminders" of today's encounters, and he devoted all his attention to eating.

"This is...aquatic products on the insect planet?"

Lu Bei fished out the 'fish bone' from the pot.

Judging from the taste of the meat alone, they couldn't tell much difference, but once they saw the shape of the bones, they knew that the pot was definitely not the earth fish they were familiar with.

"It's an edible fish-like beast." Qi Fei told his friend some of the edible species on the insect planet.

While he was doing science popularization, Yan was paying attention to the reaction of the other three worms in his family to the additional "glowing red" earth dishes.

The brown-haired female had already informed the two elders and her own young about the power of chili peppers in advance, but this did not detract from the curiosity of the three worms about this "the favorite food of their beloved cubs/children/male father".

——Just like he couldn't help but taste the spicy one in the kitchen.

Three bugs, two big and one small, stared at the hot pot with spicy aroma from the two bites, and Ozzie, the bravest, stretched out the cutlery first——

"Well."

As soon as the sliced ​​meat with chopped millet pepper and soup was in his mouth, Ozzie quickly covered his mouth, and his heroic eyebrows were slightly furrowed and then stretched out under the watchful eyes of Zuo Sa.

He swallowed the food in his mouth and let go, "It's delicious!"

"Really?"

Zuo Sa stared at his reddened lips, considering the credibility of his hero's words.

"Really!" Sensing his partner's disbelief, Ozzie immediately stretched out the tableware again, this time his target was the food named 'hot pot'.

He ate it again to show his partner.

“Really tastes good!”

The soup base of the hot pot on the side is more spicy than the soup base of pickled cabbage fish, and because it contains pepper, it made his lips tingle for a while, but Ozzie still pointed at Zuo Thirty with certainty, "It is indeed like what Yan said It’s intense like that, but delicious at the same time.”

"..."

Zuo Thirty stared at the blond male's lips opening and closing in front of his eyes, because of the relationship between the chili and oil, those lips looked more rosy and shiny than usual.

He thought it might be better there.

However, since it was still at the dining table at this time, and there were still guests present today, the black-haired female worm silently looked away, and stretched the tableware to the two red pots.

"Cough cough cough-"

Zuo Thirty repeated Yan's previous encounter in the kitchen.

Fortunately, Qi Fei had anticipated such a situation and prepared a lot of liquid dairy products in advance.

Xiao Chong cub, who was about to follow the male father's female father to stretch out the tableware, was shocked by the other party's fierce reaction and took back the tableware. Seeing this, he patted the cub's head, "Let's try spicy food again when you grow up a bit. "

"……Um!"

There is a 'spicy eating disturbance', but the whole dinner is still a happy ending for both guests and hosts.

Not only tasted the unique dishes of their hometown, but also ate the unique interstellar food on the insect planet. After dinner, several human beings felt that their stomachs were round.

——Except for Si Ze.

Lu Bei, who was still the most careful, noticed his strange behavior, but Lu Bei temporarily suppressed the matter in his heart, and decided to wait until he returned to the dormitory he was assigned to talk about it.

It was getting late after dinner, Qi Fei looked at the clock, and once again he and his partner flew their aircraft to send their friends back to the academy.

"Do you still remember the route to the dormitory? How about I send you off."

Qi Fei asked after sending his friends off the aircraft.

"No, no, no." Zhan Kun waved his hand immediately, "I've troubled you for a long time today, and we didn't let us clean up after dinner just now, so go back and rest."

"Yes." Bai Hao nodded, "Even if Akun and I don't remember, there are Beibi and Aze, they also have you, isn't it always the 'artificial GPS' among the few of us?"

Qi Fei followed their words and looked at Sze and Lu Bei who came down from another aircraft on the side.

When returning to the academy, Lu Bei took the initiative to ask Si Ze to fly the aircraft with Yan Yan.

"Leave it to us."

Lu Bei, who was getting closer, happened to hear what they had said earlier.

"Okay then, let's go back first."

"Uh-huh."

"Be careful on the road."

"Pay attention to driving safety at night."

"See you at the academy tomorrow."

After saying goodbye to a few friends, Qi Fei motioned to his partner, and Yan got back into the aircraft, turned around and returned home.

"That's right, Ze."

After watching the two aircraft leave, Zhan Kun remembered something, and handed the bag in his hand to Si Ze.

"?"

Si Ze, who took the bag, was a little confused. He touched the outer wall of the bag and felt a bit of heat, "What is this?"

He remembered that before they left Qi Fei's house, Zhan Kun probably didn't hold anything in his hands.

"A Fei asked me to hand it to you on the aircraft just now." Zhan Kun said.

Hearing that it was something Qi Fei gave him, Si Ze immediately opened the bag.

——A packaged meal, and some snacks to satisfy your hunger.

"..."

He quietly watched the food in the bag, and Lu Bei, who was standing beside him, also saw the contents of the bag clearly.

Lu Bei was not the only one who noticed that Si Ze didn't eat anything during the whole dinner.
