"What's the most important thing about steaming a white-bone snake? It's the heat." Song Junxing held a snake and explained to the few people in front of him, "The white-bone snake basically has no meat, but the soft membrane wrapped around the bone is very thick and delicious. Why is the heat important? Because if the heat is not enough, the mantle is still raw. If it is steamed too much, the mantle will be completely melted. Of course, it is also delicious to melt into the soup, but it is boring. Eating white bone snake Just like gnawing duck necks and chicken feet, what you want is the pleasure of gnawing bones, understand?"

Tang Mo immediately raised his hand: "Understood!"

Linney and Pierre barely wanted to respond.They have never been in contact with duck necks and chicken feet in their previous eating lives, and they have no idea what is delicious about these things.

Sitting next to Tang Mo, Fei Lian'an reminded without losing the opportunity: "Mr. Song has been working on this snake for almost an hour. If Mr. Jiang Che is here, all the meals should be ready."

Song Junxing was a little embarrassed: "Hush!"

He chopped off the head of the white bone snake, and put the snake body into a spiral circle on the saucer stacked with seasonings, and put it into the pot that had already been filled with water.

The kitchen of the Phoenix is ​​still very large because it needs to provide food for all the crew members on the ship.Song Junxing stopped nagging, quickly chopped off the heads of more than a dozen snakes, put them all on plates, and put them in the steamer.

The electric steamer is slowly heating up.He rubbed his chin, thinking that fortunately this is the Phoenix, if the other two vanguard ships, maybe there is no such thing as a steamer.

He looked focused and nervous, but everyone at the dinner table was full of suspicion.

"How do you make these tubers?" Tang Mo asked Fei Lian.

Fei Lian searched with his eyes closed, and answered after a while: "The people in the Changyang Ship directly steamed and cooked them for food."

"That's good." Song Junxing said, "It really is a sweet potato. I suspect that this thing must be a variety of sweet potato, which grows in sandy soil, and has such a similar size and shape. Have you ever eaten sweet potatoes grown by the sea? In my hometown, those are called sea potatoes."

Sea potato is a variety of sweet potato grown exclusively on sandy soil.Most of them are planted by fishermen by the sea. They are extremely vigorous, and their uncomplicated root systems hold tightly to the sand on the beach, and grow into a continuous green on the white beach.Small hermit crabs carry small shells on their backs, like small mobile pagodas, busy shuttling between leaves.

When the tide is high, the seawater will submerge the place where sea potatoes are planted, and the emerald green potato leaves will appear and disappear on the water surface, swaying unsteadily.The white and light purple flowers are the size of a fist, and they sway with the waves and potato leaves. The whole sweet potato field looks like an island floating in the sea.

Seagulls would come down, rest on the vines for a while, and fly up again, quacking in the sunset.

When the tide ebbs, the water takes away part of the sand from the sea potato's territory and the hermit crabs, small snails, and shrimps that failed to get into the sand in time, and then feeds back more to it in the next high tide.

The skin of sea potatoes is usually bright reddish-brown, and it is heavy on the roots. If there is enough fertilizer, it will grow fatter. If there is not enough fertilizer, it will be thin and long, and the smallest is only as thick as a finger.

Pull out the potato vines, and you can pull out the sea potatoes on the root, one by one, in a string, and picking them is effortless.

The fat and big ones are carefully collected, and they are the food for fishermen who have no food or rice.A pot of water, half a handful of rice, and cut sea potatoes into it. After cooking, it will be a sweet porridge. Eating two or three bowls in one meal will definitely fill your stomach.

Thin ones have to be put away. Although they don’t look good, they are very sweet.It seems that the sun, the land and the ocean distribute all the nutrients evenly to all the sea potatoes. There are a few that are not up to the mark and have enough nutrition but can’t grow well, so they are all deposited in the body and turned into sugar.Of course, these sweet potatoes are also eaten, but they are not cooked in porridge, they are used as snacks.The skin is not peeled, it is washed in clean water, snapped off with a click, and stuffed into the child's mouth, it is a crispy, sweet and delicious stuff.

"However, sea potatoes are not easy to preserve, and worms are easy to grow." Song Junxing washed some tubers and boiled them in a large pot, chattering non-stop, "Bugs also like to eat this kind of sweet things, Take a bite out of the skin, and you can eat the sea potato thoroughly.”

He spoke so seriously that everyone at the dinner table was dumbfounded.

"It's really delicious?" Pierre licked his mouth, thinking that being a worm would be a good idea.

"Sea potatoes are very, very sweet when they are raw." Song Junxing was told by himself that he was hungry and swallowed, "but it is very special when cooked. Flour, do you understand? It is loose and soft, fragrant and waxy. Don't drink it. The water is almost unbearable."

Lin Ni coughed lightly: "You can tell stories now."

Song Junxing glanced at the cauldron in front of him. The white-bone snake wasn't ready yet, and the tubers weren't steamed yet, so he simply took off his apron and sat next to Lin Ni to tell a story.

"I have a lot of stories." He was enthusiastic. "What do you want to hear? Is it the story of the third prince of the Dragon King and twenty female fairies, or the story of fishermen and twenty fairies bathing in the sea?"

Lin Ni resisted the urge to beat someone: "...nothing else?"

Song Junxing thought for a while.

"Oh!" He poked Lin Ni's arm with a smile as if he had suddenly realized, "Do you want to hear the story of the fishermen and the twenty octopuses? I have it. I've seen it. It's very exciting, no matter the plot or what... "

Linney still couldn't control himself in the end.

Tang Mo took out snacks to share with Pierre, and enjoyed the fight between Lin Ni and Song Junxing with Fei Lian.Both of them have learned well, and neither can gain the upper hand, so you come and go, it's very exciting.

"Let Ovid come over to eat?" Tang Mo sniffled, "I seem to smell the scent of the bone snake."

Fei Lian blinked.

The system of the Phoenix is ​​spread all over the ship, so he monitors the situation in every position at any time. Since Jiang Che fell down, he pays special attention to the temperature and humidity of Jiang Che's room.

He found that there was an abnormal temperature reaction in Jiang Che's room. The figures showed that the heart rate of the two people staying in Jiang Che's room increased, the humidity and temperature of the human body increased, and the secretion of sweat increased.

This anomaly has been going on for nearly an hour.

Fei Lian thought about it and decided not to speak out.

"I don't think he will come alone, he should wait for Jiang Che." Pierre said.

Fei Lian nodded again and again, expressing his agreement.

When Jiang Che and Ovid came to the kitchen, the Bone Snake had already started the third round of steaming.

There is almost no meat on the snake, and the translucent soft membrane is not very full, but the soft membrane has been steamed and softened, absorbing enough seasoning, and the taste is very good.

After sucking it, the soft part was sucked into the mouth, and only a piece of bone was left to spit out.A one-meter-long snake, removing the snake's head, is still not enough for one person to eat.The bones at the tail of the snake were steamed until they were soft, and they were also full of soup. Chewing it, it was like biting into tough cartilage, and swallowed it into the stomach after a few bites.

Seeing Jiang Che and Ovid walking in, everyone was taken aback.

I was so happy to eat that I forgot about these two.

When they sat down, first the steamed tuber was pushed in front of them, and then the only remaining white bone snake was respectfully placed in front of Jiang Che.

"It's steaming, the last ten." Tang Mo said with a smile, "Jiang Che, I have some good news for you. Song Junxing's cooking is also delicious, and you don't have to take breakfast, lunch and dinner from now on."

Jiang Che's face was still a little red, and there was a string of red dots on the part of the palm that was contaminated by the dust, which had not completely faded away, but the whole person was already very energetic.He picked up a steaming tuber and thought it was a sweet potato.

The thick skin was cracked, revealing the light yellow heart inside. After breaking it apart, it was discovered that the middle part was almost golden yellow, white steam came out, and the yellow sweet potato stuffing trembled with the movement of his hands Trembling, as if it could fall down at any time.

Jiang Che gave this to Ovid.

Ovid leaned back on the chair, looking a little uncomfortable, and moved around to find the most comfortable sitting position.

Jiang Che shared a bone snake with him and gave him the most delicious end.

"It's all done steaming, let's go catch it later." Song Junxing said happily, sucking on the bones.

Jiang Che ate bone snakes for the first time and almost couldn't stop.He couldn't describe the taste of this thing, but it was soft, tender and flavorful enough.Bone snakes live by sucking tree sap, and there is no fishy smell at all. Apart from the aroma of the juice, there is even a hint of plant fragrance that seems to be absent.

It was delicious, really delicious.When Jiang Che grabbed the fifth article, he made up an idea in his heart: he still has to land, and he wants to catch the bone snake with Lin Ni and the others.

Anyway, he is not afraid of allergies.Allergies can be tough...but fun too.

Such a pleasant meal was the first time since leaving the Black Sea.Jiang Che regained his health, and Lin Ni was satisfied after beating up Song Junxing. Song Junxing's cooking skills were praised by everyone, even though he was almost injured internally by Lin Ni, he was still smiling.

Pierre's family has several islands, and there are many strange foods on the island. He was so excited that he danced and talked non-stop.

Ovid's voice was a little hoarse, but he refused to tell Tang Mo why he was hoarse. He was eating tubers and white bone snakes seriously, and planned to name this tuber Yellow Potato.

"Sweet potatoes grown in Laohuang," he explained.

This name did not get everyone's approval.

After everyone was full, Lin Ni and Song Junxing planned to rest for a while and continue to land on the ground to catch the bone snake.The way for the two to rest is to appreciate the star map in the cockpit, and call out all kinds of weird alien food from the Phoenix's storage records, and discuss their taste with imagination.

Jiang Che and Ovid continued to go back to sleep, Pierre was no longer on duty, and followed them to the room.

Then he was shocked to find that Jiang Che openly took Ovid's hand.

Meanwhile, Tang Mo and Fei Lian, who were staying in the cultivation room, had a weird conversation.

"You found out, right?" Tang Mo whispered, "You must have found out. You must know what happened in Jiang Che's room."

"...How did you find out?" Fei Lian asked in a low voice.

Even though there was no one in the cultivation room, they still dared not speak loudly as if they were discussing a secret.

The corners of Tang Mo's eyes wrinkled, revealing a sly smile: "A woman's intuition."

"My system tells me that men and women don't have better instincts..."

"Okay, okay." Tang Mo raised his hand, "Didn't you notice? Ovid choked when he ate the Bone Snake, and Jiang Che patted him on the back."

Fei Lian couldn't understand the meaning of this behavior: "I saw it. Does this behavior have any special meaning for human beings? Only lovers can slap each other's back?"

"After he finished shooting, he touched the back of Ovid's neck." Tang Mo gestured to him, "The back of the neck! Here! It's a very ambiguous way of touching. So the two of them are sure about that."

Fei Lian: "...Oh. So in the human relationship mode, only lovers can touch the back of each other's neck?"

Tang Mo gave up: "Forget it, I won't tell you. This kind of touching method is very mysterious, and I can't explain it clearly. They touch it this way, not that way."

She demonstrated to Fei Lian the difference between "touching like this" and "touching like that", but she was quickly defeated by Fei Lian's pensive eyes.

"I won't talk about it." Tang Mo grinned at Fei Lian, his eyes squinted, "In the future, if you pay more attention to observation, you will find out slowly."

Fei Lian nodded, and continued to accompany her, watching her loosen the soil for the plants.

Perhaps because the Phoenix is ​​in the universe, the changes in the stressful environment have accelerated the growth of plants a lot.A few of the tomatoes had grown tiny flower buds, but the buds were purple-black and looked deeply disturbing.

Tang Mo likes the cultivation room very much, it seems like it has become her private vegetable garden.

While loosening the soil and carefully sprinkling water, she sang a light song in a low voice.

This is a song written in Maasai language.On the hills, there are streams falling from high places, washing down the snow-white petals on the mountains.The petals flowed along with the stream, and were scooped up by a girl fetching water by the stream.The girl put the petals in a basket and sprinkled them under the statue of the god.She knelt before God, praying for her lover to arrive at home as soon as possible to complete the marriage proposal ceremony.

Does he regret it?The girl was uneasy, and asked in a low voice: That handsome and unrestrained young man, does he regret it?

And on the hill, at the source of the stream, young people are wandering back and forth under the flowering trees.He is looking for the most beautiful flower, and intends to bring it to his lover's house and propose to her.

Fei Lian squatted in front of Tang Mo, feeling that he seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand.

He understands the words, and even the rhythm of the music. Now he can even restore the score of this song immediately - but he doesn't understand what is sung in the song.

"I also have songs here." He told Tang Mo, "There are many audio records of the cockpit stored in the black box of the Changyang ship, including songs from the earth."

Tang Mo suddenly became excited: "I want to listen!"

But as soon as these words fell, her face immediately changed.

"Wait...you can listen to me, or to others." She whispered to Fei Lian, "but don't let Jiang Che listen to it. He will be sad."

Fei Lian blinked: "Why? Isn't he from Earth? This is the voice of my hometown."

"However, it may remind Jiang Che of his sister."
