When Luo Sen brought people to the infirmary, Chu Qiao had already been busy in the kitchen for a long time.

The infirmary is a very strange place. There is only one doctor, Myron, in the whole infirmary. There are no nurses or assistants. The patient is now only Chu Qiao.

But it is such an infirmary, it occupies a terrifyingly large area, with countless rooms, a spacious open space, and of course a fully equipped kitchen.

Only, the kitchen never had a fire.

Hearing that Chu Qiao was going to cook, Dr. Myron had a very strange expression, his gray eyebrows were raised, his eyes were full of surprise, "You know how to cook?"

With Chu Qiao's confirmation, the old doctor seemed to be interested, he personally brought the man into the kitchen, and ordered the little robot to bring a stool, so he could sit on the sidelines leisurely, wanting to see what tricks Chu Qiao could come up with.

Chu Qiao didn't care about him, or in other words, when she entered the kitchen and saw a whole set of clean and tidy kitchen utensils, Chu Qiao had nothing else in her eyes.

Speaking of it, Chishaxing’s kitchen utensils are quite different from what Chu Qiao is familiar with, but in the final analysis, the functions needed for cooking are only those, and after a little effort, he can figure out the functions of most of the kitchen machines. The door cleared, and then, rolled up the sleeves, and officially started.

"What about the meat?"

Old Myron pointed to the next room.The next room was transformed into a special storage room, where all kinds of vegetables and meat are placed. Through special space storage methods, the shelf life of food can be extended to one year.

Yes, neither the old Myron nor the little robot can cook, and they have never fired. The meat and vegetable rations sent by Chishaxing’s logistics are all piled up here, and some of the ingredients have been here for a long time Almost a year.

...Vegetables and meat, many of them don't know each other.

Chu Qiao wanted to ask Mai Lun for help, but found that the wrinkled face of the other party was more bewildered than her own. Chu Qiao had to turn her head around and rely on her own efforts. Depending on the shape, smell, and taste of the ingredients, she selected several substitutes for the ingredients she needed. .

Two pieces of meat similar in quality to chicken and beef, with green leaves like green vegetables, five eggs, two bowls of fine noodles, plus the high-grade nutrient solution sent by the black cat, Chu Qiao has seen it, the nutrient solution tastes...fresh Cucumber flavor.

After choosing the ingredients, when she turned her head, Chu Qiao found deep suspicion in Myron's eyes.

"……can you?"

It's no wonder that Mei Lun questioned Chu Qiao's ability. Apart from Chu Qiao's blank slate, his amateur actions of trying kitchen utensils and finding ingredients just now were in stark contrast to his determined expression and self-confidence that he didn't know where he came from.

What's more, in today's environment, being able to cook is a rare skill.

Hundreds of years ago during the Interstellar Alliance period, there was a wave of nutrient solution replacing natural food—nutrient solution was cheap, easy to obtain, and contained all kinds of elements that human beings needed daily. It is more convenient and concise than cooking every day.

The galaxy wars, the heavy galaxy pioneering business, and the fiscal deficit remained high for a while. Under the vigorous promotion of the consul, starting from the major legions, the soldiers' food was officially replaced by various nutrient solutions and nutrient creams.

Under the impact of the low-price strategy, civilians quickly fell.Only a few upper echelons were left to resist, and then, a few advanced and limited editions were launched... Hundreds of planets in the Star Alliance were swept away by this strong storm, and it lasted for nearly a hundred years.

In the past hundred years, all kinds of nutrient solutions have replaced natural food, chefs have changed careers, passed away, there is no market, lost inheritance, and the chefs are almost annihilated.

Time flows endlessly, and in a blink of an eye, it is 985 years in the star calendar.

The struggle with alien galaxies has gradually subsided, the pioneering mission has come to an end, and the huge interstellar alliance has continued to expand, from the initial dozen member states to a huge alliance of more than [-] large and small members. However, in the alliance When the brilliance of the emperor shines in the stars and seas, the consul leads his cronies to rebel in an attempt to restore the monarchy and become king.

That civil strife lasted for nearly a hundred years. In the end, the alliance split into three parts, and the grandson who betrayed the consul established an empire under the name of Galaxy.The planets that are unwilling to join the empire unite together, continue the idea of ​​​​the alliance republic, and form a new republic. The remaining few planets are unwilling to join any party. After many games, they are preserved by third-party neutral forces that serve as buffers.

The three parties signed a temporary armistice agreement, and then, the new emperor ascended the throne, the empire was in ruins, and internal construction became the top priority.In order to show the new atmosphere and reflect the difference from the alliance period, the emperor of the empire promulgated new rules, one of which is to replace the nutrient solution with natural food again.

But at this time, there are not many people in the entire interstellar who can cook natural food with high quality.Without a chef, the remaining enthusiasts are only amateurs.

There are three fires for a new official to take office, let alone a new emperor.In order to save his own face and let everyone see his confidence in reform, the new emperor offered a reward in the whole empire under the advice of his confidants. Anyone who can master ordinary dishes and pass certain assessments will be rewarded. A medal and a reward of [-] star coins.

Money and silk touch people's hearts, and there must be a brave man under a heavy reward.Hundreds of years later, there was a wave of learning how to cook again in the land of the empire—everyone was left hanging in front of their eyes, and their eyes were reddened by the rewards they could get at their fingertips.

In a short period of time, countless chefs have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

It's just that some things related to inheritance can't be piled up with money - the inheritance of generations, many precious recipes and cooking techniques are completely lost, and the result can only be "there are chefs, but no cooking skills" .

The masterpieces of the chefs were not bought by anyone, and they commented bluntly: the food made is not as delicious as the nutrient solution.

It was extremely embarrassing for a while.

It's just that the "good days" didn't last long. The new emperor passed away due to illness, and his successor came to power. The young successor had no obsession with food, so he quickly canceled the reward called "Chef Training Program", and the heat wave gradually subsided. Over the next few hundred years, chefs differentiated over time into two tiers: the top, and the bottom.

Under the influence of the retro style, natural food has become the darling of the upper class again, and top chefs have been won over to the nobles.Among them, those who can devote themselves to research and design new dishes with excellent aroma and taste are unrivaled in the upper circles and are very sought after and respected.

As for the bottom layer, it is forced by the situation-the price of nutrient solution has risen in an all-round way, and cheap natural food has become the choice of the poor again to replace nutrient solution and reduce the cost of living.Most of these "chefs" are ordinary housewives.

... As for the taste?Satisfying one's hunger is already a luxury, so what's the taste?

From Myron's point of view, Chu Qiao's confidence seems to be top-level, but her unfamiliar behavior is a proper amateur.

Chu Qiao didn't speak, but her spine tensed for an instant.

He can tolerate others doubting his face, but he can't stand others questioning his cooking skills - face is a bonus, but cooking skills are the foundation of his establishment on earth back then.

My heart was displeased, but the movement of my hands didn’t stop. Using my wrist, I chopped the two kinds of meat evenly with a knife, washed the green vegetable leaves, drained the excess water, put the meat and vegetables in a bowl, and added fine noodles , beat in the egg whites and stir together, add a small amount of salt, and see that the bowl is slightly dry, then Chu Qiao takes apart the nutrient solution and pours it into the bowl to make noodles.

After the ingredients were mixed, under the surprised eyes of old Myron, he directly took a spoonful with a spoon, put it in the palm of his hand, pinched and turned it over with his fingers, and a small green flower took shape.Chu Qiao put the small green flowers on the prepared steamer, turned her head and pinched one, and in just a few minutes, there were more than ten identical small green flowers on the steamer.

Myron sat aside, dumbfounded.

In fact, as early as when Chu Qiao was chopping meat, he was a little confused—why should the meat of chickens be chopped up?Isn't it just boil the whole piece in clear water and eat it with the prepared sauce?

The previous question hadn't been resolved yet, and the next second, Myron saw Chu Qiao see the meat, vegetables and noodles mixed together, and he couldn't help staring: Several kinds of things that can't be matched together, can they be made together?

If it weren't for Chu Qiao and Mian's smooth and orderly actions, Myron might really think that the other party is joking.

Who knows that the scare is not over yet——

As if by magic, small green flowers "bloomed" in Chu Qiao's palm. Chu Qiao moved quickly, accompanied by phantoms, and her fingers were extremely nimble. In a trance, Myron felt that he was performing. rather than cooking.

Chu Qiao's movements were really too fast. While Myron was panicking, he had already finished one set, and a lot of finished products were placed on the second set.Different from the little green flowers in the first set, Chu Qiao changed the style, the rabbit head with small ears was lifelike.

Myron: "..."

Taking advantage of Chu Qiao's busy time, the old man sneaked behind him and looked closely at the little green flowers with the same folds. Old Myron felt dazzled: God, such delicate things are actually for eating ?

Chu Qiao kept moving her hands, but from the corner of her eye she was always paying attention to Myron's movements. Seeing the amazed expression on the other side's face, Chu Qiao calmly twitched her lips: No white show off!

When the raw materials were used up, Chu Qiao clapped her hands, and put the small things that were originally intended to look like buns, but turned into small flowers and rabbit heads into the steamer together with the steamer. It's so hot, and when things are pinched, they can be put in directly.

Watching Chu Qiao close the door of the steamer, Myron couldn't regain his senses for a long time, stared at the steamer for a few times, turned his head as if lost in love, and asked in despair, "How long will it take to steam?"

Chu Qiao estimated the firepower, and replied conservatively: "The fire lasts four to five minutes."

Myron: "...Oh."

This old man, like a child, sat on the side with a stool, staring at the steamer eagerly, without saying a word.

This time, it was Chu Qiao's turn to be surprised.

He had already found an explanation for his sudden appearance of skills, but he never thought that the other party didn't mean to ask at all.

There was silence in the kitchen.

Time flies, and when the two people who were trapped in their own world realized it, there was already a fragrance in the steamer—how to describe this fragrance?Since it was made of cat food, Chu Qiao couldn't figure out the difference between Chishaxing's black cat and the original cat, so she took the most conservative approach.

Less salt and almost no other seasonings.

But the food itself has its own taste - the nutrient solution used as water was originally used by Chu Qiao as a means of transition, but she never thought that the fresh cucumber smell just neutralized the fishy smell of the meat, showing a special flavor mellow and long.

In addition, the aroma of the pasta itself cannot be ignored. The richness of meat and vegetables is contained in the fragrance of the pasta, and the three are twisted into one strand, quickly showing amazing power.

Myron kept swallowing.

For most of his life, he seemed to experience hunger for the first time—he couldn't wait to eat, and wanted to appease his clamoring taste buds and satisfy his empty stomach and heart through fragrant food.

hungry.

However, the aroma in the steamer was even stronger. It gradually drifted out of the window, into the nostrils of the black cat confronting the stranger, and into...the mind of Captain Rosen who was standing still.

"Meow."

The black cat's meow became more melodious and long.

In the kitchen, wearing gloves, Chu Qiao opened the door of the steamer, leaned over and brought out a plate of green florets—after the action of high temperature and water vapor, the green florets were no longer slender and delicate as before. He grew up, bulging, and fat, as if his belly had been stretched open by something.

grunt.

Myron swallowed, his eyes stared blankly, and his hands stretched out towards the little green flowers as if he could not stop ordering them.
