Food King [Interstellar]

Hearing Jiang Tang's words, Luo Xun raised his head and looked at him.They were sitting by the bonfire at the moment, the orange fire reflected on Jiang Tang's face, making his lines very soft and gentle, and he was caressing the full-fed cotton candy curled up on his lap to sleep.Luo Xun felt that Jiang Tang was full of mysteries, but they just met by chance, and they didn't tell the truth to each other, so he could understand.

"How long have you had your bean rat?" Rosen asked.

Jiang Tang froze for a moment, then touched the cotton candy on his knee: "You said it? Soon, more than three months." It turned out that it was called a bean mouse.

Luo Xun raised his eyebrows in surprise. He only raised it for a few months: "Where did you get it?"

"I picked it up. Actually, I don't even know what kind of animal it is. I rescued it once, and it followed me by itself. It's a very good partner. So it's called a bean mouse?" Jiang Tang touched the cotton candy excitedly hair.

Luo Xun gave a "hmm" and said, "It is a unique species of Saint Sith. It mainly eats nut beans, so it is called a bean mouse. It has a very strong jumping ability, so it is also called a jerboa." The San Sith planet was captured by humans. Afterwards, it was developed into an agricultural planting base, controlled by several major food families.However, the bean rats have seriously damaged the human planting industry, and humans have carried out genocide on them, and only a very small number of them have been taken to other planets as pets.This animal is agile and not easy to tame. It looks cuter than a rabbit, has a more cunning personality than a fox, and is more agile than a mink. Therefore, Luo Xun was very surprised to see such a docile bean mouse.

Jiang Tang looked suddenly enlightened: "No wonder it always steals nut beans to eat."

"Where did you steal it?"

"The kitchen storage room in Baker's Restaurant, where I used to work," Jiang Tang said.

"No wonder you know how to cook. You learned your cooking skills at Baker's Restaurant?" Luo Xun said with a clear face.

"Well, they won't let me into the kitchen at all. I learned it secretly outside." Jiang Tang didn't deny it, and just found a reasonable explanation for his ability to cook.

"What are your plans for the future?" Luo Xun asked suddenly. He had asked Jiang Tang before, but Jiang Tang had no plans, so he was eager to recruit.

Jiang Tang stopped and thought about it for a while: "To be specific, I really don't have one. It would be great if I could swim the entire Milky Way." He is a rootless duckweed. Since fate allows him to survive, he will live as he pleases. Well, his wish in his previous life was to be able to reach Kepler-452b, but now he has arrived as soon as he opened his eyes, and he has set a new goal in this life: to travel all over the Milky Way. If it’s okay, it’s okay to go to other galaxies in the universe .

Luo Xun asked, "Do you have any relatives in your family?"

Jiang Tang shook his head: "No." His family has long been dead. Even if the Jiang family still has descendants, after more than 2000 years, no matter blood or relationship, they are negligible. As for Pingyan's family, They had already severed ties with him, and no one would blame him if they didn't admit it. Anyway, he really had nothing to do with the Ping family.

"If you're not afraid of taking risks, you can follow me. I'll give you an identity and take you around the galaxy," said Luo Xun.

Jiang Tang opened his mouth slightly: "Really? Who are you?"

Rosen said: "You don't care who I am. I can help you realize your wish."

Jiang Tang asked: "Okay then. What should I do?"

"If you know how to cook, just help us cook," said Rosen.

"It's that simple?"

Rosen nodded: "It's that simple."

Jiang Tang thought about it, and felt that this deal was a good deal. First of all, he didn't have an ID chip, so he couldn't go anywhere. If he was caught, he would have to be exiled for another 20 years. Maybe he would be wiped out by the empire because he narrowly escaped death. , he is penniless, and it is difficult for him to walk without money; again, this person lets himself be a chef, which means that he can have all the kitchen utensils and ingredients he needs, and he can also fulfill another wish besides interstellar travel: taste all Interstellar food! "Deal! But let me tell you first, I won't help you with anything except cooking. Also, if you are a bad person, our agreement will not count."

Luo Xun raised his eyebrows: "What's your standard for being a villain?"

Jiang Tang said: "You can't kill innocent people indiscriminately, you can't burn, kill, loot, and you can't cheat."

Luo Xun thought for a while: "I can only guarantee that I have a clear conscience in everything I do."

"This is the best." Jiang Tang nodded and said, "Then when can we leave here?" There is nothing here, and he is almost worried to death.

"It's going to take some time, it will take time for my friend to get here," Rosen said.

Jiang Tang looked at him with some surprise: "How did you contact them? Didn't you get searched when you entered the prison?" His optical brain was confiscated as soon as he entered the prison.

"You don't have to worry about me. Aren't you tired? Go to sleep first. I will watch the first half of the night, and you will watch the second half of the night." Luo Xun yawned, but insisted that Jiang Tang go to bed first.

Jiang Tang originally thought that Luo Xun was a patient and came to watch the night by himself, but he was not polite after hearing what he said. He was already exhausted after a busy day today and needed a rest before he could deal with tomorrow's affairs, so he called He yawned and said, "Then I will sleep for a while, and you will call me after two hours." After speaking, he lay down on the thick leaves beside the fire, with a parachute covering his body.

Jiang Tang fell into a deep sleep, until Luo Xun woke him up: "I can't keep my eyes open, you come to watch the night."

Jiang Tang quickly sat up and looked around. The night was dark and dense, only the bonfire between them was still lit, tearing the darkness a little, revealing a warm and safe fortress.Jiang Tang didn't have a watch, so he didn't know what time it was. He yawned to cheer himself up, and then added firewood to the pyre to keep the beam of light going.

In the quiet night, he could hear the cries of wild animals and the soft chants of insects. If the conditions were not too simple, Jiang Tang would really have the illusion of camping on the earth.He was bored touching the cotton candy on his knees, imagining a future that he could not picture at all, he dozed off after thinking about it, he yawned, wiped his face to wake himself up, and then started singing It’s a song on Earth, I haven’t sung it for many years, and I almost forgot the lyrics, so I can only hum indiscriminately, or make up the lyrics myself, and hum all the songs I can think of.

In the early morning, when everything fell into a sound sleep, Jiang Tang finally couldn't stand it anymore, and fell asleep sitting up.He was woken up by the roar of animals. He opened his eyes and saw a beast rushing towards him. Jiang Tang was frightened and fell to him just as the beast was about to pounce on him. before.Luo Xun put away the laser gun and turned to look at Jiang Tang: "The fire is gone."

Only then did Jiang Tang look at the fire. There was only a little dark red embers left. He raised his hand and patted his head: "Sorry, I accidentally fell asleep."

Luo Xun said, "It's okay, it's almost dawn."

At this time, the woods were gray, and it was indeed dawn. It was estimated that the beasts that got up early and looked for food found them and thought they were early. "Thanks to you, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous, thank you!"

Luo Xun put away his gun: "It's more dangerous in the woods. Let's go to the lake today. It's more convenient to have water."

Jiang Tang said, "Can you go?"

Rosen said, "Okay, no problem."

Before leaving, Jiang Tang did a lot of preparatory work. He almost dismembered the escape boat. He used a laser knife to cut a few concave parts on the escape boat, preparing to use them for pots and pans, and cut some The flat plate is used as the cover.Luo Xun watched him busy and didn't stop him. Anyway, the escape boat was of little use to them.After Jiang Tang finished his work, he cut a branch for Luo Xun to use as a walking stick, carried all the things on his back, and started to pull out towards the lake.Those beasts that were killed were not dealt with, and there were many animals by the lake.

Luo Xun's physical fitness is better than Jiang Tang imagined. He was injured like that yesterday, but he can walk around today, although he can't walk fast.Seeing that he was struggling to walk, Jiang Tang put down his things after walking for a while, and turned back to support him.Luo Xun put his hands on his shoulders, and Jiang Tang deeply felt the difference in height, and finally he couldn't help asking: "How tall are you?"

Rosen said: "1 meter 95."

Jiang Tang couldn't help but "rely" in his heart: "Are you a test-tube baby?"

"No, I conceived naturally," Rosen said.

Jiang Tang almost burst into tears: "I also conceived naturally, my parents are tall, why am I so short!"

"Normal, the modified gene is genetically unstable." Rosen said lightly.

"Then how smart are you?"

"150."

Jiang Tang cursed in his heart: I am a big fool, why is it stable when it is inherited to you, but not stable when it is inherited to me!He laughed dryly: "The Creator is also a picker."

Luo Xun twitched the corner of his lips: "You are not short either."

"Of course I'm not short!" Jiang Tang said, because he was shorter before. Forget it, let's be content and happy. Isn't Ping Yan a genius, add a little more calcium, maybe he can grow longer, and he should be able to break through 180.

The two walked for a while and rested for a while, and finally arrived at the lake when the sun rose.The lakeside in the morning is really lively, there are a lot of birds and animals, everyone is drinking water, combing their feathers, etc. by the lakeside.It turns out that there are no birds here, it's just that the birds don't like to sing.

Jiang Tang put down the things on his back, ran to the lake to wash his face, and said proudly to Luo Xun, "Does this look like a paradise?"

Luo Xun sat on the ground and wiped his sweat. After all, he was still injured. After walking such a long distance, the wound that had just healed broke open again, and the pain was severe. He moved his hand away from the wound, and his hand was already red. up.As soon as Jiang Tang turned around, he saw the blood on his finger: "Your injury is still not healed, lie down quickly, I will give you medicine." Jiang Tang put him on the grass with a parachute, and helped him to lie down .

Jiang Tang didn't deal with Luo Xun's wound first, and hurriedly collected a pile of firewood, then found a few big rocks, and built a simple stove on the grass slope, so that there was no need to build a campfire stand.Jiang Tang washed a relatively large container and boiled a pot of water: "I don't know if there are any parasites and viruses in the water here, so we should boil it before drinking it."

After the water was boiled, Jiang Tang washed another container, and said to Luo Xun, "This is used to hold water, wash your face or something." He took off the gauze wrapped around Luo Xun's body, put it aside, and used another A clean gauze dipped in water wiped his wound. After washing, he was disinfected with alcohol, and finally he was given medicine and gauze.The gauze is limited, and the dirty ones are washed, and then put in a pot to boil water for disinfection and then hang them in the air.

After finishing all this, he started to prepare breakfast.When he came over just now, he saw a lot of mushrooms in the grass, and he was going to pick some non-toxic ones to make breakfast, of course with the help of marshmallows.When I turned my head, the cotton candy disappeared again. I didn’t know where to play. Suddenly I heard a huge commotion from the other side of the lake. I turned my head and saw that the cotton candy was being chased all over the ground by a group of colorful birds. Chi Chi Chi" screamed desperately, but did not run back to ask for help.

Jiang Tang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Marshmallow, what evil did you do again?" After speaking, he carried a branch and walked over.After I went there, I found out that the marshmallows were causing harm to other people’s eggs, and several of them were broken on the ground. The angry parents and mothers were desperately pecking at the marshmallows to get revenge, but the marshmallows moved nimbly to hide Go, so many birds can't do anything about it for a while.

Jiang Tang looked at the bird's nests and the white eggs on the grass. They were bigger than eggs, and he was a little moved. Seeing that the birds were distracted by the marshmallows, Jiang Tang hurriedly took the eggs from each nest. For one egg, they lay a lot, there are four or five in a nest, so it shouldn't be a big problem to get one.Jiang Tang put the egg in his clothes and said, "Marshmallow, let's go, go back."

Marshmallow was almost exhausted after being chased by those guys, jumped up, landed on Jiang Tang's shoulder, turned around and yelled at the birds for a while, then followed Jiang Tang swaggeringly away .

Seeing them coming back, Luo Xun opened his eyes and asked, "What are you doing?"

Jiang Tang brought back three eggs and showed them to Luo Xun, and touched his forehead: "I think I was spoiled by the marshmallows and turned into a thief. What a crime."

"Can you eat bird eggs?" Luo Xun asked.

Jiang Tang chuckled: "Okay, poultry eggs are rich in protein and vitamins, great tonic. I'll find some mushrooms later, and I'll make you mushroom and bird egg soup."

Luo Xun didn't speak, but there was a smile in his eyes.Jiang Tang took marshmallows to find some non-toxic mushrooms, washed them, cleaned the pot, and started to cook bird egg mushroom soup, and suddenly said with emotion: "I should get some meat to take away this morning, there is no salt, at least there is no salt. There is oil."

Luo Xun said: "I'll go get meat when my injury is better. I'll also think of a way to salt it."

Jiang Tang didn't raise his head: "Heal the injury first, then we'll talk."

Mushroom and bird egg soup in clear water, with a little salty set meal, the taste can barely make up.After Jiang Tang finished his portion of the soup, he looked up and saw Luo Xun and Marshmallow looking at him helplessly: "No more, I just stole three eggs." After speaking, he gestured with his fingers three times.

Luo Xun touched his chin: "Do you want to steal a few more?"

Jiang Tang was expressionless: "If you want to do this kind of thing that is out of the world, I won't do it."

Marshmallow turned around and ran towards the flock of birds. Jiang Tang couldn't help but shook his head helplessly.
