Star Chef

After sending Ai Qi away, Xia Xun began to deal with the large intestine. After putting on gloves and a mask, he took out the large intestine and cleaned the filth inside. All he wanted was the casing, and all the others were thrown away.After Xia Xun cleaned up the dirt, he rubbed the casings repeatedly with salt. After the casings were clean, he poured water into them to see if there were any holes. After all this was done, he hung the casings on the rack to dry.

The next step is to process the meat in the sausage. Xia Xun is not looking for such simple tools as a meat grinder. He can only do it himself. He patiently cuts the meat into thin slices and then into cubes.Every piece of meat was fat and thin, shining with oil. At first, Rhubarb followed Xia Xun and circled around him. After a while, he began to feel sleepy, lying lazily at his feet without moving.

Seeing this, Xia Xun gently pushed him with his toes, signaling him to go back to the room to rest. Da Huang also felt that the kitchen was too small to stretch out, so he obediently went back to the room.

Xia found a big pot and threw all the diced meat into it, and added two spoonfuls of salt. Originally, he wanted to add sugar, but there were no ready-made candies on Luo Kexing, so Xia Xun bought two fruits to make up for it. , Squeeze out the juice from one of them and add it to the big basin.

The fruit wine that Xia Xun bought was not as strong as white wine, but it was considered to be relatively high in fruit wine. He poured a half of it in as Yue Ban said, feeling distressed and missing the Erguotou in the small shop in front of his house.

Stir the seasoned diced meat evenly. After thinking about it, Xia Xun poured a little of the remaining broth into it, and then proceeded to the final step, stuffing the diced meat into the casing.Xia Xun has some talent in cooking, and he was a little flustered when he started it for the first time, but he started to get used to it after a while, and he cooked the sausage before dark.

After he hung up the sausage, Rhubarb also woke up, and Xia Xun remembered that he hadn't prepared dinner yet, and there was still some meat left from the ingredients bought at noon, which was enough for Rhubarb, but Xia Xun was a human being after all. My stomach is really uncomfortable without eating the staple food, and I was thinking about whether to go to the supermarket again when the doorbell rang.

"Xia Xun!" Outside the door was a smiling Ai Qi, carrying a bag, seeing that it was Xia Xun who opened the door, he immediately stepped forward enthusiastically: "Look what I brought you." Xia Xun turned sideways to let him in, heartbroken I think there is really no problem in this world that cannot be solved by one meal, if there is, then two meals.

Ai Qi has always been very enthusiastic about Xia Xun, but the previous enthusiasm was mixed with some sympathy, but after a meal at noon, Ai Qi's stomach was completely captured by Xia Xun.

Xia Xun also happened to want to ask him something, so he was naturally welcome when he came to the door, maybe because he had a big meal at noon, and Ai Qi brought some ingredients when he came.

Xia Xun took the bag, and Ai Qi took out something that looked like a plant root in the bag and explained: "This is kudzu root, which is a relatively easy-to-collect plant root, and most of the females on Star Luo Ke use it as a staple food."

The skin of kudzu root is yellow, a bit like a potato. Xia Xun didn't know the taste of this thing, so he could only ask Yue Ban for help.Although Yue Ban knew most of the ingredients well, he had never seen kudzu root. Yue Ban asked Xia Xun to break off a small piece of kudzu root and grind it up, while he collected some for research.

Xia Xun moved the potato kudzu root back to the kitchen, thinking that dinner was settled, and was about to wait for the results of the month and a half before cooking, when he turned around, he saw Ai Qi looking at him eagerly.

Xia Xun was taken aback by the heat in his eyes, and asked cautiously, "Is there something on my face?"

Ai Qi seemed embarrassed, and after a long time of twitching, he whispered: "Can I stay? Just taste it, and never eat too much!" Xia Xun found it interesting that he was eager to explain. These cooking techniques are very important to Ai Qi. Chess may be a treasure to them, but it is nothing to him, not to mention that he is happy to have a free labor force.

"Yeah. But I need help." Ai Qi was overjoyed when he heard the words, and after a while he calmed down and said seriously: "I will never reveal your cooking techniques."

Xia Xun responded casually, even if the other party stole the teacher, he didn't care much.At this time, the results of a month and a half came out. Not only does the kudzu root look like a potato, but the taste and production method are somewhat similar.

"Potato kudzu root can replace flour after being ground, and the taste and taste are similar to potatoes when steamed directly." Xia Xun's eyes lit up when he heard this. Ai Qi brought him something good, and according to what Ai Qi just said, this kind of Potato Pueraria is easy to collect and can be grown in large quantities.

"Is there anyone growing kudzu roots around here?" Xia Xun asked Ai Qi to wash the kudzu roots, while he scraped off the skin of kudzu roots with a knife.

Ai Qi shook his head: "Potato kudzu root grows a lot in the safe area. Only females will eat a little of this plant, and males will not eat it." According to Ai Qi, although kudzu root is full, it has no nutrition, and only females can eat it. It will be used to improve the food.

Yueban scoffed at the words, this kind of potato kudzu root contains rich nutrition, but it's a pity that the people on Luo Ke planet don't know how to cook it correctly, so this rare delicacy can only be covered with dust.

After scraping off the skin of the potato powder root, Xia Xun cut it into chunks. Seeing Ai Qi's curious look, he asked, "How do you usually deal with the potato powder root?"

Ai Qi blinked: "Throw it directly into the fire and roast it." The corners of Xia Xun's mouth twitched. No matter what he did, the methods of these aliens were so simple and rude.

As soon as the hot water in the pot was boiled, Xia Xun threw all the cut potatoes and kudzu roots into it, thinking about the consignment.According to Luo Kexing's law, Xia Xun is still underage and his guardian is dead. It is obviously impossible for him to open his own shop to sell some food.While in the supermarket today, Xia Xun thought of making some semi-finished products or sauces for consignment in the supermarket, but this was just his idea, and Kasyapa's help was needed to realize it.

It will take some time until the potato and kudzu root in the pot are taken out, and Xia Xun doesn't like to beat around the bush, so he directly talks to Ai Qi honestly: "Ai Qi, I want to make some seasoning sauce and sell it in the supermarket, can I?"

Ai Qi paused, and immediately understood Xia Xun's difficulties. Xia Xun was a refugee and an underage female, and she was accompanied by rhubarb that would not deform.Although the government distributes subsidies every month, Luo Kexing also has some preferential policies to take care of underage females and sub-adult males, such as providing them with housing, but this is still far from enough.

The monthly subsidy of [-] star alliance coins can't even guarantee basic food and clothing. It is natural for Xia Xun to think of other ways out, not to mention his craftsmanship is really outstanding.

"The sale of food only needs to pass the toxin test. Uncle Kasyapa is very talkative. You just need to bribe him with delicious food, and he will definitely agree." Ai Qi's words gave Xia Xun a reassurance.

Half a month estimated the weather on Luo Ke Xing, the sausages could be dried in just a few days, but it would take a few days sooner, Xia Xun happened to want to take advantage of these days to go out.

And according to the news from Yueban, Star Luo Ke still retains the original hunting habits. They don't know how to raise livestock. When winter is approaching every year, the wild animals outside the city will cause a beast tide due to the estrus period. At this time, most of the males Will choose to go hunting.

It is not yet the season for the beast swarm, but there will still be some males who go out hunting for their livelihood. These males often travel together or form a fixed team.And these teams occasionally accept some commissions to find precious animals and plants. As for the females, they can follow the males to carry out simple collection activities in the safe area.

Xia Xun was aiming at the idea of ​​the safe zone. He didn't dare to make too much of it. For the time being, he planned to search for the edible ingredients in the safe zone first. As for the wider outside, he could only wait until he had the financial resources to hire a hunting team.

During the conversation, the potato and kudzu root were already ripe. Xia Xun didn't have chopsticks, so he broke two branches outside and cut them into chopsticks to use for now. As for the knives and forks prepared in the kitchen, he was really not used to them.

Fishing out the kudzu root, Xia Xun originally wanted to cook the kudzu root and the meat together, but in a blink of an eye, he saw the gravy left over at noon, so he simply heated the gravy and poured it on the cooked kudzu root.

The rich aroma made Ai Qi take a few deep breaths, and Xia Xun fried some meat slices and piled them around the kudzu root as in noon.As for the rhubarb dinner, it is also very simple. Large pieces of meat are cut into thin slices, slightly cured with salt and leftover fruit, and the bottom of the pot is directly heated.Xia Xun spread the marinated meat slices on the bottom of the hot pot, and the meat slices curled up immediately, exuding a burst of fragrance. Ai Qi waited eagerly for the meal, and Xia Xun was thinking about the various sauces from his previous life.

"Be careful it's hot." Xia Xun held the exclusive big bowl of rhubarb on the table and reminded that rhubarb is not a picky eater, but it is a bit spoiled. Now if Xia Xun gives him boiled meat with only salt, he will will never eat.

Xia Xun arranged for Rhubarb to sit next to Ai Qi. He only gave himself a pair of chopsticks, and prepared a knife and fork for Ai Qi.Ai Qi looked at Xia Xun's chopsticks and then at his own knife and fork, and said, "Do you still have chopsticks? I always feel that you should use chopsticks to eat your dishes."

Hearing this, Xia Xun felt slightly happier. After taking away the knives and forks from the table, he changed Ai Qi's pair of chopsticks.What he cooks is Huaxia cuisine, so naturally he uses Huaxia tableware.

After he was full, Rhubarb started to feel sleepy again as usual. Xia Xun was used to his behavior pattern of waking up to eat, and sleeping after eating. When he saw him lying at his feet lazily and starting to flick his tail, he knew he was sleepy again.

"Go to sleep." Xia Xun knelt down and touched Rhubarb's big head, and after being soothed, Rhubarb reluctantly returned to the room.

"Has Rhubarb been sleepy recently?" Ai Qi asked curiously when he saw Rhubarb's listless look.

"Well, Rhubarb looks lazy every day." Although his face is still expressionless, Ai Qi can still feel Xia Xun's worry.Xia Xun was really worried, but after asking Yue Ban, Yue Ban said that this is only a common state of sub-adults, so he was relieved.
