Food is full of favorability [Interstellar]

It wasn't until one of them had a bowl full of dumplings in his hand that Luo Bai began to taste the fruits of his hard-won labor.

The dumpling filling is bulging, and the skin is slippery and big.Pick up one with chopsticks, roll it up and down in the dipping bowl twice, until the skin of the dumpling is dyed a light brown color by the vinegar, and the mottled red oil and spicy peppers are hung on it, the ordinary white dumpling is instantly stained with an appetite color.

Bite half of the dumpling in one bite, and the hot air is released immediately. The mouth is full of the firm taste of pork, the fresh and refreshing taste of cabbage, and the sour vinegar taste, full of salty fragrance.

The finely chopped pork leg meat has a tough, delicate and chewy texture, because the cabbage will ooze water during cooking. When eating dumplings, you can feel the cabbage juice and gravy splashing in your mouth. Hot and delicious.

Teriyaki sauce has both salty and sweet flavors, soy sauce is salty and mellow, oyster sauce is fresh and sweet, together with smooth sesame oil and shallots, it also greatly enhances the umami taste of dumpling fillings.After swallowing the dumplings while they were hot, the umami taste in the mouth still lingers for a long time, making people eat one after another.

Di An tasted the rich aroma of the dipping sauce for a while, and then tasted the original taste of the dumplings. The dumplings filled with pork and cabbage were full of water, and because the pork filling was finely chopped, it tasted thick and chewy.Because he was involved in chopping stuffing and making dumplings, Di An felt more and more that this dumpling was truly unique and delicious, and wished he had to blow it to cool before stuffing the hot dumplings into his mouth.

He even had a faint sense of accomplishment in his heart, thinking that he could even participate in the production of such complicated food, it seemed that it was not a difficult task to cheer up.

Because Luobai uses unique onion and ginger water and pepper to mix in the filling, it will not taste fishy, ​​and it will not feel tired because of eating too much.Xi Weier took two mouthfuls, a large bowl of dumplings soon went down halfway, and two mouthfuls of slightly hot dumpling soup, not to mention how satisfying, the stomach was full of the warmth of pasta.

Although the three adult men have tried their best to eat refreshing and delicious dumplings, they made too many dumplings before, and dumplings are a staple food, so it is necessary to keep full, so there are still a few left in the pot. Ten big fat dumplings.But the stomachs of the three of them were almost full (Syver, who was wearing a uniform, even loosened his belt quietly), and they could only look at each other and sigh.

"You can take these dumplings to Captain Karl, let him taste your handicrafts." Without any explanation, Luo Bai filled out about twenty dumplings, and stuffed them with soup and box to Di An, asking him to take them back. , I didn’t forget to configure a small box of vinegar.

"I..." He just wanted to express his decline, but when he saw Xi Weier's unhappy eyes of "Why don't you know how to get out of here", he immediately took the thermostat crisper kindly, and after spending some time expressing his gratitude Only then turned around and left.

The sky was completely dark, and Dean's shadow was stretched into a thin and long strip.Carrying a heavy lunch box and looking back at the window of the apartment in the family area, there was a warm orange light, which was incompatible with the pitch-black night, as if a hole had been scorched out of the sky by the warm breath.

Just as Di An felt that he had left such a warm atmosphere, and the hole in his heart was also blowing cold wind, he saw someone waving at the window, as if urging him to return to the hospital building as soon as possible. The road is cold, so don't delay.

There was a self-deprecating smile on the corner of his lips.With this kind of partner, I am still a winner in life, so great...

Suddenly, his light screen buzzed.Dean opened it with one hand, and found that someone sent him a text message without adding friends. It seemed that he opened the chat interface directly from a large group in a corner. Lano".

"I don't think I have met any opponents in the Combat Academy, except...you who are barely passable in terms of grades.

Although I didn't think that the long-awaited reunion would be in this situation, I still hope that you can cheer up and don't give up just because the boat was wrecked by the wind and waves

Sailing again, don't let me look down on you, if you die, I don't have time to attend your funeral.Your comrades wait for the flames of vengeance to consume your enemies, and your sins can only be paid for with merit.

Also, stay away from Luo Bai... If you've had enough, go back to the Second Expeditionary Army. "

Looking at this text message, Di An suddenly felt as if there were warm water droplets running across his face.Once again, it felt as if there were many cold drops of water falling down again.

……It's raining.

The Loras star, whose desert is like a sea of ​​sand, will also have rare rain.

Dean wiped the water marks on his face, took a deep breath, quickened his pace, and went from a dark alley to the brightly lit inpatient building to receive daily nutritional injections and physical recovery potions.

………………

Xi Weier put down his hand to chase away ducks, saw that Di An had gone far, and then pursed his lips and told Luo Bai: "Don't remember what he said just now, he deliberately provoked you and me. It's related. Although I can only knead dough now, I will definitely be able to cook after learning it."

Luo Bai said helplessly: "He just complained about the injustice, what is there to worry about, our relationship is worth provoking? Besides, isn't it normal that you are so busy and don't have time to learn how to cook? It's not necessary Skill."

Hearing his understanding in this way, Xi Weier lowered his brows and eyes with some grievances, "I also don't want to be so busy, and have more time to relax like now."

Luo Bai went on to say: "Besides, Di An has suffered a major psychological blow now, please be considerate of the patient. You just said yesterday that every soldier in the empire is very important..."

Silver: ...

What is this, did you lift a rock and shoot yourself in the foot?

"By the way, do you know where Dean's hometown is?" Luo Bai turned on the light screen, ready to search for the recipes of StarCraft. Attachment to hometown?"

"It should be Sunstar, where freshwater fish and wheat are abundant." Xi Weier subconsciously replied.It was only after he finished speaking that he realized that he actually knew a lot about Dian, and he felt annoyed in his heart, and turned his face away.

Luo Bai didn't know what he was thinking, and happily studied the traditional recipes of Planet Sun, wanting to try to see if he could successfully make the special delicacies of the interstellar era.

Seeing his joyful back, Xi Weier suddenly felt a sense of vigilance in his heart.Why does Luo Bai care so much about an outsider?Thinking about it carefully, Dian is not bad looking, although he thinks that the "green eyes like emeralds" that are advertised by the outside world are no different from pickled vegetables, but the sick and weak Dian seems to be able to arouse people's desire for protection ...

Coupled with the fact that Luo Bai's previous reputation was not completely false - he did have an extraordinary interest in appearance, Xi Weier suddenly felt a sense of crisis in his heart.

It's not that he doesn't know that he has an extremely handsome appearance. Although he has never been proud of it, he is always rejoicing that Luo Bai wanted to be a partner wholeheartedly because of his appearance.But think about it, what if a more handsome and younger officer appeared later, or if he didn't protect his face well?

Xi Weier didn't realize it, there seemed to be a sour smell in the air around him, stronger than the previous dumpling vinegar.He thought silently in his heart that his body fat percentage had really increased a lot after being fed recently, and he should increase his morning exercise tomorrow.

………………

It was summer on Loras Star, and it was supposed to be a season with plenty of rain, but because of the lack of water vapor, some rain fell at night, but it disappeared during the day, and the ground was dry, as if it had never rained.

Luo Bai took out the unfinished dumplings yesterday, put them in a pan, added enough water to cover the dumplings, covered and fried until the bottom of the dumplings was golden brown and crispy, then sprinkled with sesame seeds and chopped green onion, and it was done. The gorgeous transformation of fried dumplings.

Although he was a bit puzzled by the fact that Xavier's morning exercise had not finished for a long time, Luo Bai explained it in his heart as "the amount of training needs to be doubled on a low-gravity star." Special dish - fish head pie.

When he went to intensive care unit T04, Luo Bai was surprised to find that Dian's overall condition was much better than yesterday, and he was even more energetic. When he saw him, he would even take the initiative to ask him what he brought What food is coming.

Luo Bai responded subconsciously: "It's a special delicacy in your hometown. I heard that fish head pies are made in every family."

Come to think of it, compared to the delicacies he brought from his homeland on earth, the food from his hometown would be more palatable, right?

Little did he know that when he heard the words "fish head pie", Di An froze, and managed to hold on, so that his expression did not change drastically.

It's Silver's revenge on him, isn't it?You must know that the reason why the fish head pie became the special dish of Lunar Star is not because it is delicious, but because the taste is terrible, and the method is so rough that it is unforgettable...

In fact, Luo Bai also felt very troubled by the vague recipe: [Take the big-headed fish from Xingzemu Lake on Sunday, cut the head open, put it in the dough and bake it, and eat it after it is cooked. 】

Luo Bai:?

Weirder recipes than less, more, less!How is this different from "pull open the fridge door, put the elephant in, close the fridge door"?What's more, he took a look at the big head fish he ordered. It is true that the head of the fish is huge, and it looks delicious and plentiful. It doesn't look unpalatable, but it is wrapped in the pie with the fish bones. Isn't it true that the chef made a mistake? ?

In the end, Luo Bai chose to make this "fish head pie" using the local ingredients of Yaori Xing and combining the production technology of looking up to the stars.It can't be... worse than the British Empire, right?

He dices the butter, adds salt and stirs it back and forth into the flour until it becomes granulated, then adds water and kneads it into a dough and refrigerates it; then he carefully removes the meat from the fish head, because there are many bones in freshwater fish, he is very cautious when cutting the knife. After slicing the meat, soak it in fruit wine to remove the fishy smell, and cut the diced mushrooms and canned diced meat.

Then put the butter, mushrooms, diced meat and fish into the egg flour liquid, stir well to make the filling, add salt and white pepper, wrap it in the dough, put it in the oven for baking.

And the finished product was the golden-yellow, palm-sized pie in front of Dean.

Di An couldn't believe his eyes. The pie in front of him was burnt and crispy, and even exuded a strong smell of wheat. He asked hesitantly, "Is this really a fish head pie?"

Luo Bai embarrassedly found a place to sit down in the ward, and explained in a low voice: "I'm sorry... I'm not from the sun star, so I don't know how to cook. I made a little improvement according to my own understanding. I hope you Never mind..."

"No, no, no, I don't mean to blame you." Dean quickly stopped his apology, picked up a pie, and said kindly: "It's not better, I like the improved and innovative version of food."

God knows how afraid he was when he opened the lunch box to see the big pie that could outline the shape of a fish head... This kind of small round pie that exudes fragrance, as if emitting holy light, made him have the urge to try it .

"Well, but the raw material is big-headed fish, I hope you like it." Luo Bai quickly took one for himself.Making noodles is a very labor-intensive task. Unlike the strong and strong Xi Weier, he has consumed a lot of energy and is also a little hungry at this time.

The surface of the pie is baked to a golden brown and crispy, and some white sesame seeds are sprinkled on it. The outer skin is crispy, and it will shatter when touched.Break off a bit of the pie crust, the inside is extremely hot filling, snow-white fish meat, off-white mushrooms, and pink diced meat melted in the rich cream sauce, with a strong aroma, it is tempting and delicious to look at.

Di An took a big bite, the hot fish meat made his tongue tingle slightly, but he still couldn't bear to spit it out, for no other reason, it was so delicious!The extremely delicious fish meat and mushrooms are jumping in the mouth. It is indeed the unique plump head fish in his hometown. The fish head meat is the most tender part of the body. It is half melted in the sauce at the moment, and it is served with granular meat Dinghe's crispy and flexible crust is really delicious, and it seems that compared with yesterday's dumplings, it is not much better.

From his surprised expression, Luo Bai realized that the pies he made looked quite different from those made by Sunshine Star... He asked nervously, "How does it taste?"

This is his first attempt to cook interstellar food with unfamiliar ingredients. Could it be that the start is a rollover?

Di An hastily swallowed the fish head pie that he had been thinking about repeatedly, and said to him very sincerely: "It's very delicious, much better than the original ones on our planet. If they can learn such an amazing skill, it must not be so. It is the characteristic 'food' of our planet, and it will be the real food of the entire Ophiuchus galaxy."

Luo Bai watched with satisfaction as he continued to eat the pie without raising his head, a sense of satisfaction rose in his heart.There are many chefs who do not cook for meal expenses. They spend their entire lives looking for the best ingredients, and use their energy and painstaking efforts to research more delicious recipes. In fact, they want to see the happiness and touch when the food is tasted.

Teacher Alan always said that Luo Bai's skills have been perfected, but there is still a long way to go in the cultivation of food.Luo Bai understands that the teacher's "Tao" is to dig out the true and pure taste of food, and use cooking to bring it to the extreme. He is dealing with every plant with his heart, and promises that "your dedication will become sublimated" Promise of.But Luo Bai couldn't be as pious as his teacher. After returning to China, he had been thinking about what his "Tao" was.

Now he seemed to vaguely understand...he wanted to make the meaning attached to food stronger.The purpose of human eating is firstly to maintain vital functions, satisfy appetite and stimulate the secretion of dopamine.However, in the process of human beings' continuous exploration of space, the additional meanings of eating - social interaction, reunion, family affection, homesickness, love... these seem to have been abandoned.

When interstellar people meet, they rarely take out the nutrient solution and blow it on the bottle, right?And without the delicious food, the family gets together and enjoys a lot less time to enjoy the joyful atmosphere.

Luo Bai thought, maybe this is the meaning of his coming to the interstellar era?He doesn't want to watch the demise of the food culture in the long history, and he doesn't want to let the human pursuit of richer taste stop here.He wants more people to eat with a happy expression like Xi Weier, students, and Dian, so that they can enjoy delicious food anytime, anywhere.

"Are you listening? Hello?" Di An waved his hand, interrupting Luo Bai's chaotic thoughts.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Luo Bai came back to his senses and saw that he had finished eating the pie.

Di An stared at him with lingering green eyes: "I'm sorry, I may have to miss the appointment once, and I can't continue to help you with the kitchen. My body is not in any serious condition at first, and I have asked Carl to help me submit the application for discharge from the hospital. It may be soon. will be leaving here."

"Then... are you going back to the Second Army?" Luo Bai asked hesitantly.He still remembered the extremely painful look on Dean's face when he mentioned the expeditionary army.

"I won't be returning." Dean smiled slightly and said calmly, "I'm going to apply for a transfer to the Peacekeeping Force, where I'll be in charge of targeting terrorist organizations and illegal gangs."

Luo Bai understood in an instant.Di An didn't let go of the unforgettable memory in his heart, but the burning hatred, for some reason, turned into the motivation to move on.This way... is also very good. When people have a reason to support their lives, they will never give up easily.

"Thank you for your hard work these past few days to help cook and bring it here again. This is the unique golden sandstone in my hometown, and I give it to you."

He took off a pendant from his neck, put it on the stunned Luo Bai's head, and rubbed his soft black hair again.The golden sandstone is an extremely bright golden color, reflecting sparkling light as it shakes.

"If Xavier treats you badly..." Dean thought for a while, then stopped talking, and muttered something in a low voice: "Forget it, he cares more about you than anything else..."

Xiwell was actually standing at the door, and saw clearly the whole process of Dean giving him the pendant, but for some reason, he didn't feel any disgust in his heart, and even raised his hand to take a picture of this scene as a souvenir.

——In the viewfinder frame, the hand of the tall black-haired man rested on the top of the hair of the shorter black-haired young man. The clear sunlight happened to pass through the window and fell on the golden sandstone pendant pinched by the young man on his fingertips.They were obviously two strangers who had just met, but at this moment, it was like an older brother saying goodbye to his younger brother before departure, warm and full of vigor.

Xi Weier smiled silently.

Dean, I wish you the best of luck.
