Food is full of favorability [Interstellar]

Chapter 18 Grilled Shrimp Salad

When Xivir boarded the giant starship of the Third Galaxy Fleet on the first day, he was still very calm in his heart, and his slender fingers tapped the curved light curtain in the command room in an orderly manner.

On the third day, he still stayed in the command room, but secretly changed the mode to automatic intelligent flight.

On the light curtain is the space star map with their current coordinates as the origin. Because their starship is currently moving extremely fast, the star map is also changing rapidly. Countless light spots marking planets and stars are jumping and flickering, and the coordinates of each row are The data flashed across quickly and caught the major general's eyes, making his pupils glow like light.

Xiver has followed in the footsteps of his father and brother since he was a child, first entered the military academy, and then successfully passed the examination with his crushing and terrifying grades, and entered the Third Fleet of the Galaxy.It’s not that no one doubted that he joined the army by relying on his connections, but since he was an adult, Xi Weier has won the Empire’s Outstanding Youth Medal of Honor for seven consecutive years. Unless everyone in the empire favors him, it can only show...he is really outstanding , so the officers on the starship also believed him very much.

Adjutant Lance walked in with a buoy, and the sound of his military boots hitting the floor woke up Sivir.

——Yes, although it is difficult to admit it, he is indeed in a daze.

Xi Weier unnaturally let go of his messy thoughts, coughed lowly: "What's wrong, Lance."

"Major General, I should ask you this question, what's wrong with you?" Lance looked at him worriedly, and said, "Since yesterday, he has been emotionally unstable, is it because this mission is very difficult? "

"...No, it's my own private matter." Xi Weier said helplessly.

He was indeed caught up in the endless message.Yesterday, when he didn't sleep well and his mind was not clear, he even sent several text messages to Luo Bai one after another.

Moreover, since it is a short message transmitted across the stars, there is no recall function at all.Xi Weier, who woke up and woke up, looked at the series of messages he sent on the light screen, and his face turned red like a fire.

Without permission, a young man with fiery red hair and wearing a lieutenant colonel's uniform rushed in, and interjected meanly: "He seems to be thinking of his little baby, Lance, don't ask."

"Han Feng, don't talk nonsense." Xi Weier got off the podium angrily, and brought each of them a bottle of vitamin water from the low-temperature cabinet.

Han Feng was his playmate since childhood. The two were admitted to the Command Department of the First Imperial Military Academy almost at the same time, and joined the Third Fleet of the Galaxy together.

Just like his flamboyant red hair, Han Feng's personality is also extremely unruly and unrestrained. Xi Weier dare not tell him what happened to him in recent days, otherwise it is inevitable that the whole star network will be ignited again.

"Stop pretending, Lance told me!" Han Feng hooked Xi Weier's shoulder carelessly, and continued: "I told you earlier, that Luo Bai is very annoying, I advise you not to marry him. I didn't expect you to move so fast, you found a new love so quickly, not to mention cooking for you, and even took it to the star station to play. Tsk tsk tsk, you really can't look like a person..."

Silver cast a reproachful glance at Lance, who bowed his head in shame under his gaze.

He helplessly pulled down Han Feng's strong arm, and tried to explain: "It's not what you think at all, Luo Bai is the one who delivers meals and goes out to play, no one else..."

Han Feng showed a comprehending expression, and said sympathetically: "Don't worry, we will keep it secret for you. But Luo Bai is so obsessed with you, he definitely won't accept an open marriage, or you should divorce first and then marry that unknown A little cutie to continue the relationship?"

Thinking that Xiwell, as a handsome and upright talent among the youths of the empire, is amazing in both appearance and talent, but married a rich second generation who is ignorant and ignorant, anyone who hears it will have to say something pity.

At the beginning, Han Feng was the first to discover Luo Bai's shameless declaration on the star network, and informed Xi Weier immediately. He did not expect that they would get married in a short time.

This is the second time Xiwell heard the word "divorce" today, he felt a little annoyed, and abruptly changed the subject.

"...I didn't lie to you. Forget it, it's almost time for dinner, don't talk about this, let's replenish energy first. We will reach the anchor point in the afternoon."

Xi Weier's irritability was not all due to Han Feng's nonsense.Those who don't know are innocent, he has only seen negative news about Luo Bai on the star network, and has never seen a real person, so it is normal to defend him in every possible way out of friendship.

What made him angry was Luo Bai's endless "divorce request". What happened at home?Moreover, it has been more than half a day since I sent the text message, and Luo Bai should have seen it after some time, how would he reply to the message?

With a stomach full of questions, Xi Weier and his two colleagues left the command room together and went to the dining room at the tail of the starship.

There is no day and night in space, and the soldiers on the starship strictly follow the standard time of the Star Era to divide their work and rest time, and eat and sleep within the specified time.

When the three of them stepped into the restaurant, there were already a lot of people sitting sparsely. Some of them had the military instant food just made by the robot in front of them—in fact, it was the staple food plus the soft boiled mush. I don't want to eat the same dishes every day, so I choose to hold a bottle of nutrient solution and drink slowly.

The voices of the crew were submerged in the gurgling sound of surging liquid, and what was being played on the circular light curtain in the center seemed to be... a cooking picture of food?

"Is this some new way of relaxing?" Silver asked.

He seldom comes to the restaurant to eat, and usually takes out the nutrient solution in the low-temperature cabinet to eat, or asks Lance to help him pick up the food directly from the logistics department.

Lance explained: "No, Major General. This is because the food made by the robot is too unpalatable, and the nutrient solution has no taste. The logistics department was annoyed by the complaints, so they simply let the AI ​​​​automatically filter out the previous day's broadcast on the central light screen of the restaurant. The cooking video with the highest volume is said to be a meal."

Han Feng laughed at the side, and then said: "The result is that I ate the unpalatable military rations while watching the chef cook, and I couldn't eat any more. I heard that the number of complaints from the logistics department doubled again. I don't know why Who is torturing whom, ahahahaha."

Silver: "..."

I think you have not fought for too long, and you are idle.

A plate of meat and vegetable dishes was brought over, and after two mouthfuls, Xi Weier couldn't help but put down the tableware.

The taste of these dishes is really not delicious. Although he has the highest military rank and the food he gets is more delicate than others, it is incomparable to the meals at home.

As he was eating, he remembered the oil-sealed chicken legs and scallion noodles that he ate before leaving. For the first time in five years, he felt a little homesick on the starship...

His eyes drifted to the central light screen, and he saw that the unknown chef was still cooking.The barrage in the upper right corner rolled out the title: [Grilled Shrimp Salad].

The face of the chef himself is not shown, only his moving hands and a waist in a black apron can be seen.Those hands were white and smooth, not as slender and well-defined as Xi Weier's, but they always gave him a...very soft and familiar feeling?

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Xi Weier continued to watch the chef's movements on the light screen, while mechanically eating the unpalatable food on the plate.

On the chopping board, the diced shallots, diced bell peppers, sliced ​​cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes were neatly stacked together. This must be the part of the process that he missed just now.

Immediately afterwards, the faceless chef mixed them together, beat them into small particles with a cooking machine, and stirred them with couscous rice. ——He didn't recognize these weird ingredients, and they were marked in the subtitles next to them.

With celery, minced lime and a lot of olive oil, the chef marinated the shrimp evenly and grilled it until it was red and ripe, and lightly placed it on the freshly prepared diced vegetable salad, and poured another layer With fermented yogurt and minced parsley, a 【Grilled Shrimp Salad】is complete.

Although the method is simple and the cooking steps are clear, the soldiers all over the restaurant are still fascinated by it--nothing else, there is no harm without comparison.

The Grilled Shrimp Salad is colorful, fresh and delicious.The milky white yogurt is set against the scallion green parsley, the orange-red shrimp is randomly placed below, the smoked paprika, yellow pepper, and white couscous rice are mixed together, the colors are colorful and not messy, which makes people feel Very eager to have a bite.

In contrast to the cauldron of dishes in front of them... umm... brown meat sauce, mixed with boiled carrots and potatoes.Although it can be imported, it is still far away from having a good color and fragrance.

After finishing a dish, the little chef bowed slightly towards the camera, reaching out to turn off the recording instrument.

During the short two seconds when he bent down, Xi Weier noticed two small obsidian studs on his earlobes with sharp eyes.

Luo Bai? !

………………

Four days have passed since Xi Weier set sail on the distant star. After sending a text message asking if he could get a divorce, Luo Bai woke up another day before receiving a reply from Xi Weier on the other side of the star sea. The style is the same, cold and not long, but specifically answered his question:

[Xi Weier: Why are you asking this? (20:05 EDT)]”

Luo Bai thought to himself: I thought what I meant was obvious.

In addition to this first reply, there are five or six more messages sent after this.

Luo Bai thought that his only message should not have so many replies, opened Xi Weier's text message, and was amused by the content inside.

He specifically found a comfortable position on the sofa, lazily nestled there, and opened Xi Weier's text messages one by one.

All he saw was the message sent the day before, because of the time difference, Xivir may have reached the distant star at this time, and he is no longer in the sailing state.

[Xi Weier: Is someone at home embarrassing you?You don't have to argue with them, you can go out and relax.Your voiceprint, fingerprint and iris have been entered into the home security database after your last trip, and you can enter and exit directly. (20:08 EDT)]

Luo Bai: ...Huh?So I can go out!Why didn't you tell me before you left?It made me have a lot of "pleasant" exchanges with them...

Swipe down again and open the third text message:

[Xi Weier: Interstellar voyage is actually nothing interesting, at most, it is a bit interesting when crossing the meteorite belt.

...Well, send a picture to see. (22:56 EDT)

Attachment: Photos of the Pillars of Creation and the Meteorite Belt.hksl]

Luo Bai opened it and saw that the photo was dynamic, and it just happened to record the astonishing scene of the starship passing through the rain-like meteorite belt from the first perspective.

In front is a huge meteorite moving at high speed, and in the distance is the magnificent and magnificent Pillar of Creation. The insignificance of human beings and the romance of the universe meet in an instant. What Xi Weier showed Luo Bai was exactly what he saw from his perspective.

Luo Bai, a man from the ancient earth, couldn't help yearning for it, but unfortunately he was not a soldier of the interstellar era, and he couldn't freely sail in the boundless universe to witness it with his own eyes.

[Xi Weier: In fact, I still look forward to each departure.We humans have only discovered a corner of the universe, but think we are in the center of the world, just like turning on a searchlight in the deep sea, and all we see is a narrow one. (23:17 EDT)]

[Xi Weier: I looked through the sailing manual out of boredom, and found that if you are actually performing a non-classified mission, you can actually bring your family members along, but the procedures are more complicated. (23:20 EDT)

Attachment: Blurred photos of sailing manual.awsl]

[Xi Weier: ...the last one was just my casual remark, so you don't have to think too much about it. (23:21 EDT)]

[Sivir: Forget it, good night. (23:59 EDT)]

Luo Bai looked at the three patch-style text messages that were intended to be concealed, and smiled silently.

In fact, the Major General has quite a lot of inner activities.

From the last text message, he even read a bit of shame and helplessness, so cute.

He thought about it, typed a paragraph on the light screen, added and changed it, and finally deleted it all.

...Let's record a food video for the major general and reply to his meteorite belt star map.

The author has something to say: Thank you for commenting on the little cute "Krypton for Love" suggestion, which is very helpful to me!

Next, I will slowly revise the previous chapters, so you don’t need to click on the cuties you have read.To be honest, I have written [-] to [-] words now, which is completely different from the initial feeling... Maybe it will be more exciting in the future?

Thanks to the little cuties who can read this chapter, I will definitely go all out to finish writing this book seriously!
