Chapter 270 The taste in memory
Chapter 270 The taste in memory
After a thrilling chase, Dongfang He's spaceship successfully arrived at a remote habitable planet. This is an abandoned agricultural planet. Because there are always alien invasions and pirates coming to plunder resources, the planet is too remote and the Imperial Starship feels that it is not cost-effective to station troops there, so they abandoned the planet.
This agricultural planet is now the base camp of Dongfang He and his team. Dongfang He chose several similar planets as his escape points, like a cunning rabbit with three burrows.
Dongfang He planted a lot of crops in some abandoned farms on the planet, but since he had too many things to deal with, he had no time to cook, so everyone continued to eat the unpalatable nutritional supplements.
When Chang Ningchen saw the vegetables and fruits in the cold storage, his eyes lit up. What a waste of food! He couldn't help but ask, "Don't you have anyone who can cook?!"
Dongfang He said helplessly, "They were all born after the ban was issued. They have never eaten anything other than nutritional supplements. They have never seen anyone cook, and they have never experienced or learned anything about it. Cooking is very abstract to them."
Dongfang He once wrote a recipe for Ji Feng and others, but Ji Feng blew up the kitchen and Qiu Jingrui made terrible dark dishes. Dong Ji said he was too busy and didn't want to cook.
In addition, they vomited and had diarrhea for two days after eating the dark dishes made by Qiu Jingrui, which made them feel that nutritional supplements were safer and more delicious!
Holy crap! Chang Ningchen couldn't believe what Dongfang He said. He didn't believe that nutritional supplements could be more popular than delicious food!
So Chang Ningchen spent the whole morning preparing. After all, the kitchen here had not been used for a long time. He found the right ingredients and seasonings, and rolled up his sleeves to cook a big meal!
Tied to the spaceship, Chen Jintian went on a hunger strike in protest. He wanted to return to his family's planet. He wanted to send these abominable prisoners back to prison! And that bastard Kui! He wanted to find a group of strong men to beat him up!
Kui decided to bring Chen Jintian to settle on this agricultural planet. He decided to become a member of the farm here. He used to be one of the planters on Cohen Star and was very good at planting. There were many kinds of plants here, so he would not be too bored. He liked to do something challenging.
In addition, the communication equipment here has been destroyed. Even if Chen Jintian escaped, he would not be able to contact his father to send someone over.
But now this guy is on a hunger strike in protest, and Kui plans to find some ingredients to cook for him. When he was a child, he had eaten vegetable soup and rice made by his grandmother, and he still couldn't forget the taste. He thought that Chen Jintian, who had been hungry for a few days, would definitely not be able to resist this temptation.
As soon as the man walked into the warehouse, he was attracted by the fragrance in the air. He followed the smell to the kitchen, and then he saw Cheng Xingchen making delicious food.
Steaming stew pots, flaming iron pots and some kitchen utensils he had never seen before were all emitting tempting aromas!
"Kui, you're here just in time! Help me taste it later!"
When Chang Ningchen saw the man who walked in, he was worried that the taste would not be controlled well, because the ingredients here were only salt, oil and sugar, and there were no other vinegar, soy sauce or the like.
It is probably because cooking was abolished, so seasonings had no use, so they were not produced and could not be bought. He would have to find time to make wine, vinegar and soy sauce in the future.
Today he simply made a few stir-fries, then stewed some chestnut chicken soup and steamed some fish. Without soy sauce and old wine, the taste of the dishes was much different from what Chang Ningchen remembered.
For a moment, Chang Ningchen suspected that his cooking skills had deteriorated a lot, so he wanted to find someone from this world to taste his food. Just at this time, Kui came over.
Kui was shocked when he saw the unknown dishes on the table. This colorful dish looked delicious and smelled fragrant too!
Seeing Kui's confused look, Chang Ningchen introduced the dishes to him considerately. He made scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried shredded potatoes, minced meat and eggplant, stir-fried meat with green peppers, chestnut chicken soup and steamed fish.
These are all home-cooked dishes with fresh ingredients, simple to make, mainly because if Chang Ningchen wants to make some difficult dishes, he is short of too many seasonings, so it is better to make these simple and easy dishes.
Kui took a spoon and started to taste from the one closest to him. The sour and sweet tomatoes and the smooth eggs in this tomato scrambled eggs, this novel taste and the sour and sweet taste conquered every one of his taste buds. He originally just wanted to taste it, but he couldn't help but take another bite. This dish is very appetizing!
The shredded potatoes are added with green peppers and carrots. The flavors of the three vegetables complement each other. The glutinous shredded potatoes, the crispy carrots and the soft green peppers have a unique taste but are also very delicious!
As for this minced meat eggplant, Kui felt that although it looked unattractive and had a soft texture compared to the other two dishes, it seemed to violently attack his taste buds after entering his mouth, making him want to eat more and more. It was really delicious!
The chestnut chicken soup was sweet and delicious, and the steamed fish was equally delicious. After tasting them all, Kui couldn't help but shed tears of happiness. Why was he allowed to taste such delicious dishes?! He was afraid he wouldn't be able to eat them again!
Chang Ningchen looked at the tearful Kui and asked worriedly, "Is the taste too strange for you to accept?"
Kui looked at Chang Ningchen and said a little embarrassedly: "These foods are very delicious. Can I take some away from you? Jin Tian is still throwing a tantrum and refuses to eat."
Chang Ningchen was very happy when Kui praised his cooking, so he packed some dishes for him. Then he suddenly found that Kui was actually cooking!
Although the man was handling the vegetables clumsily, he looked serious and solemn when tasting the food before cooking, which meant that he was a person who had eaten normal food in this world!
This was a major discovery for Chang Ningchen! It felt like he had discovered an extinct mammoth!
Kui is now groping for the taste in his memory. He wants to replicate the vegetable soup and rice made by his grandmother. He chops up the vegetables that have the taste in his memory and then cooks them together. Then he wants to add rice.
Chang Ningchen quickly stopped Kui and said, "Wait a minute, Kui! If you cook it like this, the vegetables will still be half-cooked when they come out of the pot. Wait until they are cooked before adding rice."
Kui watched Chang Ningchen take over the preparation of vegetable soup and rice. He saw that the way the man made the soup and rice was the same as the way he remembered his grandmother, and his heart felt very warm for a moment.
Chang Ningchen saw that making this pot of vegetable soup was not difficult, but it was much better than the ones on the spaceship, so he looked at Kui and asked, "Do you want to learn how to cook from me?"
Kui came back to his senses and looked at Chang Ningchen. He said, "I still have to take care of Chen Jintian. It will be troublesome if he runs away."
Chang Ningchen thought about that guy and nodded helplessly. He had to keep an eye on that guy!
