Food is full of favorability [Interstellar]

"Have you...have you been waiting for me for a long time?" After Luo Bai pushed open the door of the intensive care unit, he found Xi Weier who was guarding the door like a door god, motionless.

"No, I just came here." Xi Weier turned around and withdrew his gaze from pretending to be interested in the thin white flowers on the window sill.

The afternoon sun was just right, and Chan cast a piece of warm light through the window sill, coating his side face with a golden halo.

Infected by the leisurely and warm sunshine, Luo Bai squinted his eyes and said softly, "What's the matter, are you going to meet Instructor Yunier with you today?"

"No, it's Heidi," Xi Weier explained. "Her treatment has come to an end, and she has basically recovered. The eldest brother and sister-in-law decided to take her to settle on a low-gravity habitable planet to prevent her illness from recurring."

"Ah?" Luo Bai turned to look at him in surprise, but his eyes were dazzled by the sun again, so he lowered his head and asked in a muffled voice: "Then...then they won't live in the old house in Draenor in the future? What about the work of eldest brother and sister-in-law?"

"Probably not. I will come back occasionally to have a look. When Heidi becomes an adult and her health permits, she may move back." Xi Weier walked towards the apartment building in the family area with him, "Today they are Come to say goodbye, and leave Loras probably tonight at the latest."

For some reason, Luo Bai felt a little disappointed. The "arrogant" Phyllis, the "old-fashioned" Russell, a family that was difficult to get along with in memory, but now they have become relatives who can live with them. I heard that we are going to part suddenly and we don't know when we will meet again. Feeling a little melancholy.

………………

Based on the star map, Russell and Silver are researching whether the desolate star they wandered before has ever been discovered, and what kind of response there will be after reporting it.

Heidi was arranged to sit in the living room, watching the latest anime movie on the holographic projection light screen.

After saying hello in surprise and chatting for a few words, she hurriedly watched the movie again, fearing that she would not be able to keep up with the rhythm of the protagonist.During the time she was hospitalized, she missed a lot of plots.

Luo Bai stopped and watched for a while, as if he was telling a story about a group of teenagers taking risks in a different world. It seems that the story of great adventures in the interstellar era is also enduring.

Seeing Luo Bai came back, Phyllis immediately came over.

"Why...?" He asked inexplicably.

"While you're cooking, can I watch and learn from the side? I also want to cook for Heidi..." Phyllis looked at Luo Bai eagerly, as if as long as he nodded, This superb cooking skill will be automatically transported into the brain.

"You can, but... with such a short time left, you probably won't learn anything," Luo Bai shook his head, and said, "I can give you all the recipes, and if you practice more, you should be able to learn something." reward."

Looking at Phyllis' slightly disappointed eyes, Luo Bai's painting style changed: "However, today's farewell banquet for you is also very simple, and you can even participate in the production together, as long as you are responsible for chopping the vegetables."

"Is it just chopping vegetables?" Phyllis breathed a sigh of relief. This is not a big problem for her. She has received various basic training since she was a child, and it is not difficult to cut vegetables into uniform sizes.

"Don't worry, the cutting method of each ingredient is different."

Luo Bai opened the hatch of the locker, hugged pots full of vegetables and meat, and placed them on the cooking table with a bang.

In a glimpse, Phyllis saw the lockers that were packed to the brim.

Naturally, she didn't know that there were ingredients for all kinds of military patients in it, and she just felt that the third brother Xi Weier was a little bit of a fool...

Luo Bai separated the ingredients one by one, and instructed her patiently and meticulously: "Look, the potatoes should be cut into [-]mm thick slices, the onions should also be cut into slices, the squash should be cut into large pieces, the carrots should also be cut into large pieces, and the roots of the seafood mushrooms should be removed. ..."

He has always been patient with his apprentices, and he doesn't want to see ingredients being wasted.Sometimes when he saw a pot of food was about to be boiled, he would either repair it as a rescue, or let the apprentices eat the pot if it couldn't be saved (...).

As if sensing a hint of danger from him, Phyllis listened very carefully, and wrote down his instructions intently, even fearing that she might not be able to remember, she even made a voice backup on the light screen.

After talking about how to handle vegetables, Luo Bai lined up the meat one by one in front of her, and took her to know the ingredients and how to handle them.

"Huh? This is... canned instant meat, compressed fish and compressed rice from the military?" Phyllis keenly noticed several packaged foods, and she looked up at Luo Bai in confusion.

"Yes, it's the ready-to-eat food you know." Luo Bai simply nodded and admitted her guess, "The ingredients I choose are all the ingredients that may be stored on the starship as much as possible, so that no matter when and where, You can all eat it without changing your staple food."

Sliced ​​canned meat becomes sliced ​​luncheon meat, compressed fish and compressed rice, which are actually kamaboko and rice cakes.When Luo Bai found instant noodles for the first time, he discovered that these available ingredients could be used together to make a "army hot pot" and taught Phyllis.

Although Phyllis was a little confused, she still tried her best to follow Luo Bai and quickly sorted all the ingredients in front of her. Soon the cooking table was filled with large and small bowls, all of which were fragments or diced ingredients.

Phyllis frantically recorded various steps on the light screen: "Cooking is really... tedious and interesting."

"It's actually not difficult. The hot pot I'm teaching you today is actually arranging all kinds of ingredients according to the degree of cooking, and then adding sauces to cook. You will find it complicated because you are new to cooking. After all, it is still a skill that practice makes perfect, and it will be fine after a long time."

Luo Bai transformed the assembleable kitchen utensils into a huge square pot with rounded corners. After turning on the fire and pouring a little oil, he directed Phyllis to put onion slices, shallot knots and spicy cabbage on the bottom layer, as well as all vegetable ingredients.

"Just let it go...is it okay?"

"Yes, as long as you spread it, you can also place fan-shaped pictures of different ingredients." Luo Bai nodded affirmatively, encouraging her to act boldly.

Immediately afterwards, luncheon meat, rice cakes, fish cakes, dried shrimps, and beef slices were also stacked on the second layer, as well as some small seafood that Luo Bai ordered together at Sunshine Star.

Luo Bai took out a can of hot sauce he had prepared, let Phyllis taste it before putting it in the pot, and asked her how she felt.

"Salty and spicy, it seems a little sweet? The taste is very strong and addictive." Phyllis savored the thick hot sauce carefully, distinguishing the taste.

"Yes, this is what I added to the original hot sauce and boiled it with ancient obscurity tree syrup, sucrose, glutinous rice flour and soybean flour." Luo Bai spooned a lot of sweet and hot sauce into the pot, saying: "Because I don't have your communication method, I sent the recipe to my elder brother. You take this jar with you. You can try to make it yourself in the future, or I will post it across the stars."

A blush slowly climbed up Phyllis' cheeks: "This is too much trouble for you, I will definitely work hard to learn how to do it myself."

While talking, the hot pot has already produced many bubbling bubbles.Water vapor rose into the air along the small holes, and the whole apartment soon filled with the smell of hot sauce.

Heidi looked away from the animated movie from time to time, and looked back here, wondering what delicious food her mother and Luo Bai were cooking.But without permission, she just sat obediently there, resting her chin and waiting for the meal.

"Heidi has almost recovered now, so you don't have to feel so guilty and worried." Luo Bai smiled back at the little girl and asked in a low voice.

"...As a parent, how can you not be worried. Ever since Heidi was born, I have attached my heart to her, thinking about her all the time." Phyllis also answered him in a low voice: "It's just that I'm almost I figured it out. Although Heidi's genes are not as good as other people's, Russell and I can give her a lot of love, so that she can't lose to anyone in the world."

Compensate for congenital deficiencies with love and companionship?Luo Bai was actually a little envious of Heidi.

He originally finished junior high school in China, so he should have continued to finish high school and university smoothly, and stayed in his hometown to be a happy ordinary person.

But the broken parents didn't think so. They decided to divorce amid endless quarrels, and they didn't want to bring Luo Bai by their side.

In the end, it was his father who made the decision to let Luo Bai live with his grandparents who settled in the French countryside.Luo Bai didn't object, he embarked on a journey to a foreign land, rejected the financial aid from his grandparents, and went to Paris alone. After thousands of rejections, he finally found Mr. Chef who was willing to accept him as an apprentice, with food and lodging included.

——"Have you thought about it? Being an apprentice is very hard. You may not have the opportunity to return to your hometown for several years or ten years."

— "I'm sure, sir."

How can there be any chance to go home?Family affection has long been something he couldn't ask for.

Therefore, after traveling through thousands of years, Luo Bai didn't have much nostalgia and concern, only felt that he might have to embark on a lonely journey alone again.

Isn't that how life is?

Not everyone is qualified to have family affection and love. He has never loved anyone, and he has never been cherished by anyone, not even once.

Without the trembling of soul contact, without the tender care of relatives... He has seen the Milky Way, but he can only live among the dim stars.

………………

When the two finished the army hot pot, it was almost time for dinner.

Phyllis proudly declared to Russell that today's meal was finished by him and Luo Bai.

The few people suffocated their laughter, seeing that she seemed to have regained the arrogant look she had in Emperor Star, they clapped their hands in cooperation to save face.

Five people sat around the table, and a large pot of army hot pot was truly presented in front of everyone as the lid was lifted and the heat wave surged.

Luo Bai introduced: "This is army hot pot. The bone broth and chili sauce are boiled together, and the ingredients are also rich in meat and vegetables. Although it doesn't look very delicate, it still tastes delicious."

"I believe in your craftsmanship, no need to introduce!" Heidi smelled the delicious smell of hot sauce and cheese, and couldn't help but want to try it.She can only drink nutrient solution for so many days, she is so hungry for food.

The bone soup was originally milky white, but the melted chili sauce turned the soup base into a bright red color, which looked very spicy.In fact, Phyllis knew that it was just scary to look at, and it wasn't very exciting to eat.

The ingredients in the pot are really complicated, white rice cakes and fish cake slices, pink luncheon meat slices, green squash, orange and white mixed shrimp... There are also ingredients of different shapes, such as long seafood mushrooms, round potato slices And meatballs of different sizes, gathered in a pot of all kinds, it looks like all the ingredients are thrown into the pot and stewed in a mess.

In the center of the pot are a few slices of melted sticky cheese, with an egg smashed into it, and the trembling egg yolk is sprinkled with green onion and diced pepper, which looks rich and nutritious.

Heidi distributed the eggs to Heidi who needed to supplement nutrition, and then stirred the army hot pot with a long spoon, so that the ingredients on the upper and lower layers were exposed, making it easier to eat.

The hot air spreads out, overflowing with a burst of hot air and rich aroma, which has the freshness of bone broth and the sweet and slightly spicy spicy sauce, with rich layers, which doubles people's appetite.

Xi Weier chose to eat the most common ready-to-eat foods in the army first: luncheon meat and fish cakes.The fish cake is cooked to a tender and smooth texture, and the heat inside is slightly hot. It has both the freshness of the fish itself and the saltiness of the soup base.

The combination of spicy cabbage and luncheon meat is very wonderful. The taste of pressed meat is of course not as good as fresh ones, and the taste is dense, but with the crispy and sour spicy cabbage, chewing together makes it very interesting to eat.

Russell had long eaten without raising his head. His appetite was even more astonishing than Xi Weier's. It didn't take long for a big pot full of vegetables to go to the first floor.

"Is it a little... not enough?" Phyllis asked with difficulty, the food in her bowl was only half gone.

"No, the beauty of eating hot pot is that you can keep adding ingredients to it until you are full." Luo Bai stood up calmly, brought a large box of fat beef rolls and a few packets of instant noodles, opened them and threw them into the In the pot, wait for the soup base to boil again.

"Xiao Luo, do you want to come to the canteen of the military headquarters and improve the food for us?" Russell savored every ingredient wholeheartedly, mouthful after mouthful, sweating slightly on his forehead, finally put down his chopsticks and asked sincerely road.

Xi Weier: Although I also thought so in my heart, why did you ask directly, big brother!

Luo Bai shook his head and said gently: "Then there is no need. My status is not good enough to meddle in the army's food supply. However, I will find time to write down all the food recipes suitable for the army. They are all very simple. Yes, like this military hot pot, it was originally made from the ready-to-eat food of the military, and it seems that you all like it, so there should be no problem."

"...That's right, I thought it was too simple," Russell nodded and sighed.

Luo Bai didn't feel regretful either, he was already mentally prepared: "There is still a long way to go before everyone can taste delicious food."

After eating all the meat dishes and vegetarian dishes in the pot, what is left now is the last instant noodles.

Because the noodles have been soaked in the soup for a long time, the noodles become slightly full and not chewy enough, but they absorb enough soup and are delicious enough.At this time, the soup base is already very thick: the freshness of the vegetables, the meaty taste of the meat dishes, and the hot and sour sweetness of the sauce, all melted into one pot.

Vegetables, meat, bone broth and noodles are mixed together, and each ingredient retains its original flavor and absorbs the taste of the other. It can be said that it is a simple method and original deliciousness.

The army hot pot is a Korean-style thick soup hot pot, with meat and vegetables, and the soup base is very rich and mellow.

When the weather is not too hot like this, the whole family gathers around to eat a steaming hot pot, feeling warm and cozy.

When the ingredients were added continuously and the meal was finished, it was almost evening and it was time for them to set off.

Before leaving, Heidi hugged Luo Bai's thigh reluctantly, wishing she could stay here for two more days.

He squatted in front of the little girl, looked straight into her big blue eyes, and asked softly, "Heidi, are you happy now?"

She looked back honestly and said: "I have always been happy, not just now. Mom said Murray would be sent to our new home, and grandparents would come back to see me when they are free. I am very happy! And you, you will too. Come and see me?"

Hearing her innocent response, Luo Bai breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.

Maybe she hasn't really entered the adult society yet, and she doesn't know what her genetic defect means, but with a family in front of her to shelter her from the wind and rain and act as her warm haven, life will never be too difficult.

He rubbed her curly blond hair, and agreed: "I will definitely, Heidi will be so happy in the future."

Luo Bai and Xi Weier stood side by side, watching them board the spaceship to another planet.

Looking at the white meteors gradually disappearing in the sky, Luo Bai said with some emotion: "They have gone through ups and downs, and they will be happier and happier in the future."

"Yes." Xi Weier nodded, taking advantage of the gentle night and the light wind, he took his hand, "People who meet again will meet again, and you can see it with your own eyes when we meet again."

There is no moon on the planet Loras, and a giant artificial satellite is lifted into the sky. It emits a white light like jade every night, and it is always in a perfect shape, like a moon that will always be reunited.

It is very difficult for the whole family to get together to have a lively dinner. Looking at the moonlight shining a thousand miles above his head, Luo Bai's eyebrows and eyes were soft under the moonlight, and even his eyes had a kind of tinge. Happy tenderness.

When Xi Weier was unprepared, Luo Bai turned around and gave him a hug, and quickly let go.

"What, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing... let's go back!"

The vague ambiguity and romance dissolve in the moonlight.

He seems to have really seen the Milky Way now, and lives in the Milky Way.

The author has something to say: Even if you are on an alien planet, you have to reunite with your family for a meal during the Mid-Autumn Festival! (The picture of the army hot pot is posted in the old place)
