Otherworldly recipes

Lin Huaimeng tied the red polka-dot scarf again, put sleeves on her hands, and meticulously stuffed the fragmented hair into the chef's hat with her hands.

This hat is not too high, but similar to a lady's hat with a bound edge. This area inevitably reveals a full forehead. The big face looks bright in the mirror, and the whole person looks a little silly for a moment. , like a silly girl from a village.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Lin Huaimeng smiled helplessly again. She deeply realized the importance of hairstyle to a person.

She never puts down her bangs in daily life, because her cheeks are a little fleshy, and she can't hide her big face when she strokes them all up. People are not ugly, but it is not so good to say that they are beautiful without a plain face. As far as ordinary people are concerned, they can still barely look good-looking after makeup.

When she was a child, her grandmother would always tie her a ponytail, scooping up all her hair and tying it up tightly. Kua Lin Huaimeng, who was unconscionable, showed her forehead and looked energetic and beautiful.

When I was a child, I also believed it was true, wearing a tight ponytail every day, proudly showing my big forehead, like a little bully ostentatiously.

When I grew up and returned to the city, I gradually realized from my grandmother's false praise that my own appearance was not suitable for showing my forehead.

When I went to school in the city, I went back to the town to visit my grandmother a few times. At that time, after hesitating in the mirror, I still chose to put on an unsightly ponytail honestly, in order to let the other party falsely boast that she was really beautiful.

I know whether it looks good or not, but grandma's smile is indeed precious.

Thinking of these pasts, I can't help but think of the kind old man in my memory, with the hands that brought happiness to others, and possessed the richest love in the world, and gave it to myself.

Of course, now that restaurants are open, hats are inevitable, and beauty and ugliness are far less important than hygiene.

Wearing a hat is mainly to avoid hair falling into the food during cooking. No one wants to pick out an extra meal called hair in their meals.

As for the sanitation of the kitchen itself, it needs to be cleaned every day, such as the stove and the sink, which must be cleaned up when cooking. Once the oily dirt accumulates, it will be very inconvenient to clean up.

Lin Huaimeng was ready to go, but she still yawned first, stretched lazily, and tapped her stiff shoulders with limp hands to reduce her fatigue.

The drowsiness brought about by the afternoon nap still remained on his body, so he had to hold a hand of cold water to wash his face in exchange for a clear mind. Taking advantage of this gap, the shopkeeper couldn't help but look out.

The line of sight finally fell on Ivan, the only guest. This warrior from the future planet was sitting in the restaurant. Her back was straight, her eyes were straight ahead, and her sitting posture was extremely upright. The standard seemed to be measured with a scale.

The whole body is wrapped in silver tights, and the tight muscles are clearly outlined. With silver hair and purple pupils, this kind of character like a comic book character really appears in front of his eyes.

For the appearance of such a person, Lin Huaimeng was still a little dazed.

Aiwen is too eye-catching, she is out of tune with the surrounding environment, judging from the origin she told, the current Aiwen should have landed in a corner of the earth, luckily in the misfortune, she is the first human being she encountered Be yourself, not others.

There is nothing wrong with fancy clothes, what is terrible is that you are alone in an unfamiliar environment, with a language barrier and a different civilization, which requires great adaptability to survive.

It's a pity that the premise of survival can still be integrated into the current human society. The obstacles are obvious. Lin Huaimeng's old lady mentality is on the line again. She stares at the upright soldier sitting, and a bold idea suddenly emerges in her heart, but she still needs a little more. time to consider feasibility.

After washing his hands with soap and drying the water drops on his hands, he took out two eggs from the refrigerator. Although the refrigerator was packed to the brim, they were neatly arranged and it was clear at a glance.

The salty goods marinated during the Chinese New Year are stored in the lower cabinet in the refrigerator to keep fresh. In terms of summer temperature, the salty goods are easy to drip out of grease and stain the ground when placed indoors. Although the taste is a bit discounted in the refrigerator, it is The best storage method currently available.

Lin Huaimeng began to rummage through the piles of salted goods, carefully selected one piece of cured meat, placed it on the chopping board, cut a small piece for cooking, and put the rest back quickly Back into the refrigerator.

The cut surface of this bacon meat has distinct layers, the lean meat is bright red, the fat meat is white and clean, the two are alternately layered, the color is bright, red and white are distinct, it looks much better than the color of the fresh meat itself.

Whenever Lin Huaimeng sees a food, she always sighs its wonders, like simply using salt can completely change a piece of meat, making it from soft to hard. I have to say that in the exploration of food, these creations All amazing.

The first person to eat a crab is very admirable. Who would dare to eat it if he is not a warrior?

Lin Huaimeng was thinking wildly in his mind, but his hands didn't stop moving. The small piece of bacon was cut into cubes on the chopping board, and it was fat and thin.

Take out an empty bowl, beat the two eggs as evenly as possible, the color of the egg liquid is golden yellow, chop the chives into the bowl, season with a small amount of salt and monosodium glutamate, and then pour in a bowl of cold boiled water, the water should be Add slowly, stirring while adding water, until it becomes a fully integrated egg water.

The egg liquid has to be sieved again, in order to filter out the small air bubbles on the surface. The final egg liquid should have a smooth surface without excess air bubbles. At this time, add the diced bacon and stir briefly You can cover it with plastic wrap, and take two potato slices, peel them and slice them.

Put the egg custard bowl in the center of the shelf, place the sliced ​​potatoes around it, add water to the bottom of the steamer and steam it on high heat for about 25 minutes

Reheat the rice in the rice cooker, take out the water spinach and start rinsing in the sink, remove the yellowed leaves, leaving only the emerald green part, the water spinach looks like a lot in the hand, but in fact it wilts into a plate as soon as it is fried quantity.

Hollow pipes must be carefully rinsed to prevent small bugs from lurking in them. Vegetables in spring and summer will always have all kinds of bugs lying on their stomachs. Peaches can hide other things in their cores, not to mention these vegetables. You can add some protein to today's lunch without paying attention.

Wash the water spinach and cut into sections for later use, crush the garlic and cut into fine pieces, soak the dried chili in water and cut into pieces.

Heat up the iron pan, pour oil into the pan, sauté the garlic and chili until fragrant, then add the water spinach and stir-fry over high heat. The vegetable leaves soften quickly in the pot. Season with an appropriate amount of salt. The fire must be high. Stir-fry to completely force out the aroma of garlic and infiltrate every inch of food.

Red peppers and white minced garlic are distributed on this plate of mashed garlic spinach. The color of the vegetables is very emerald green, and the surface is covered with a layer of oil and water, which makes the green more tender.

Dice the stewed beef, grind the steamed potatoes into mud, put oil in the pot and stir-fry chili and pepper, then add the diced beef, stir fry for a while, then add two bowls of water, the mashed potatoes gradually dissolve in the water Melt it, and keep stirring back and forth with a spatula until the water boils and starts to thicken due to starch.

Seasoned with salt, sugar and soy sauce, the thick potato soup is bubbling.

The mashed potatoes are finely ground, and they are completely mixed with the water when they are put into the pot. There is not a single bit of potato cubes. The brown beef is floating in the thick soup. The soup is light yellow in color and exudes the fragrance of potatoes. Before serving, Lin Huaimeng sprinkled some green onion as decoration.

Aiwen is a very quiet person. Except for the information she must grasp, she rarely speaks out for unnecessary things. She is an excellent mech pilot trained by a country, a soldier, and a warrior.

Before she strayed into the gap of time and space, the planet she was on was facing an invasion/invasion by foreign enemies. This war was unprecedentedly fierce, and could even be linked to the survival of the planet. At this critical juncture, Aiwen was involved Entering the space-time gap, leaving behind his comrades and glory.

Caressing the brand mark on the face, the skin has a slight bulge, and you can rub its lines. This thinking process makes Aiwen's eyes full of confusion. Her destination should be in the boundless universe. , now survived by luck, but lost all his goals for a while.

Resources are an extremely important existence in the future, and it is something that every planet is fighting for. This also means that wars break out all the time. In the process of being cultivated, he was instilled with an extremely firm concept of patriotism, death is not to be feared, and dying for the empire is the glory of being a member of the empire.

They are elites, judged to be excellent from birth, and they have to train hard all the way to reach the front line of the battlefield. The AK47 owned by Aiwen is currently a humanoid mecha that has the most demanding requirements for driver matching , Aiwen can not only control it proficiently, but also is a member of the Ten Wings, which is the strongest combat force in the empire.

Lin Huaimeng finally stopped being busy. She brought up the dishes one by one. Aiwen's posture did not move, so there was no change, but his back was slightly leaned forward. She looked at the dishes filled with It can be said that each of them can make her feel confused.

The aromas of several dishes mixed together, and they wafted into the nose, forming the unique alluring aroma of meals. Aiwen subconsciously began to salivate, which was a natural expression before eating.

Lin Huaimeng explained to the other party intimately: "Potato and beef soup, mashed garlic water spinach, egg custard, and white rice, this is a chopsticks spoon, two chopsticks are used to clamp, and the spoon is used to dig."

In order to prevent Ai Wen from being unable to understand, she even took the chopsticks to demonstrate to the other party first.

"That's it."

Ai Wen tentatively took the chopsticks from Lin Huaimeng. She just started to imitate the action demonstrated by the shopkeeper just now. She easily picked up the water spinach with the chopsticks. She stared at the green leaves for a while, feeling uneasy. Knowing what he was hesitating for, he finally made up his mind to open his mouth and eat it until he met Shang Lin Huaimeng's suspicious gaze.

In fact, Aiwen is feeling sorry for this plant. She is well aware of the importance of plants. In her world, these vegetables, which are very common to the shopkeeper, have been extinct. The soil of Yunxing suddenly began to mutate one day, and they became It is no longer suitable for plants to survive, and a large number of plants have become extinct one after another. At that time, scientists could only analyze and extract the components of plants, and carry out preservation and replication of components.

The extinction of plants also caused many animals to die due to lack of food, and then evolved other species to adapt to this world. The occurrence of this mutation caused the extinction of many species. Eating vegetables like this extravagantly can It is said that Ivan never even dared to think about it.

Things that I dare not think about come true, the juice of water spinach is chewed in the mouth, its tube is brittle, and the leaves are extremely soft, the simple seasoning draws out the deliciousness of the water spinach itself, and the spicy garlic makes the taste of the dish become Rich, this kind of delicacy is something Ivan has never tried before, and this kind of taste makes her whole body startled.

It is really delicious beyond words...

What the residents of Yunxing eat for the longest time is a white tasteless nutritional supplement, which covers the ingredients that normal people should take in, and completes an adult's daily eating in one bite. Because it is convenient and nutritious, it has become Food for almost everyone.

Aiwen has never eaten food other than nutrients since he was born. After all, eating itself is a physical task. Today, he tasted real food for the first time, and the taste completely opened up a new world. A world that has never been opened to Aiwen is slowly opening the door to her.

Aiwen's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to put a small amount of rice into her mouth. The crystal clear white rice was still emitting heat. It seemed a little hot in her mouth, but she could feel the rice itself in this heat. The sweetness of this rice fragrance is fascinating.

"Eat slowly, this is a spoon used to drink soup, blow it cool before drinking, otherwise you will burn yourself."

Ivan obeyed the other party's words, scooped up a spoonful of potato soup with a spoon, blew on the steaming hot potato soup, and waited until it was not so hot before starting to taste it.

This soup is a big bowl full of richness. The thick potatoes only leave a delicate and salty feeling, which is only felt later. A little bit of spiciness begins to emerge from the mouth. Stir-fried in the oil pan, so the taste of the corners becomes a little crispy, as if you can hear a crunch in your mouth, it is covered with thick potatoes, and the taste is even more fragrant.

Lin Huaimeng's egg custard is different from other people's egg custard. This egg custard is filled with diced bacon. During the steaming process, the bacon releases its own aroma and fat. The lard makes the egg custard taste more unique. Fragrant taste, no soy sauce or sesame oil, what you eat is the original taste of bacon and eggs.

"This is egg custard, it's especially delicious when mixed with rice!"

There are no other customers in the store. Lin Huaimeng is like the other party's exclusive narrator, teaching Ai Wen who knows nothing about all of this. She has a fast learning ability and basically understands everything. She has greeted so many customers. Aiwen is the only one who can master chopsticks so proficiently and quickly.

The egg custard wobbled on the spoon, and then it was delivered to the rice by the spoon. Aiwen manipulated the unfamiliar props with a very focused expression.

I saw the golden eggs trembling tenderly, inlaid with diced bacon, mixed with the rice to coat each rice with an attractive color, the rice was moist in the mouth, it was wrapped in egg custard, The salty taste of the bacon permeates into the egg custard. The meat does not taste salty, but it adds a kind of oily aroma to a dish that should be light.

The seemingly light soup turned out to be very rich, not bland at all. The taste of bacon is all condensed in the soup. This soup is especially suitable for bibimbap. The hot rice is topped with egg custard, and the egg It is so tender that it melts into the lips and tongue with a sip.

Scallion-flavored, meat-flavored and egg-flavored, the three are combined into one, and there is nothing wrong with it.

After tasting the three dishes one by one, Aiwen couldn't decide whether they occupied a high position in his heart. These dishes were all delicious, and it was a special experience for her. She served all the dishes with a bowl of rice. All the dishes were wiped out in one go.

On this way of elimination, Aiwen didn't say a word, she just used practical actions to express her love for these foods. Of course, for the cooks, this is already the greatest affirmation.

The delicious food lingers on the tip of her tongue, unable to extricate herself for a long time. This is a completely different concept from the nutritional supplements she eats every time. Ivan knows that his planet will not have these foods, let alone cooking. A luxury that consumes precious resources.

"Thank you for your help, it was a very tasty treat."

Lin Huaimeng smiled and shook her head. She was really happy when she saw the empty dishes on Aiwen's table.

"Do you have any plans for the future?"

Ai Wen shook his head, "I haven't judged the best plan yet."

Yes, all the plans now point to various unsatisfactory solutions, but there is no way around that, she was left in a different time and space in a different world, and the AK47 was running out of energy, so what I could do was still too limited.

Lin Huaimeng seemed to have anticipated the other party's situation, and began to suggest: "Since you are also on Earth, why don't you come to work with me?"

"I need a helper here, as you can see, I am the only one in this small restaurant, if you have no place to live, and you have no other plans for the time being, why not stay and work first, we have a good saying here, ship It is naturally straight to the end of the bridge."

When Ai Wen faced Lin Huaimeng's suggestion, she also began to think about it. She brought her own state into the current situation for analysis, and finally found that this was indeed another way out.

The emergency freezing consumes the nutrient solution carried by the AK47, and there will always be a day when I will be hungry. It's just a matter of time.

Ai Wen thought about the pros and cons and answered directly: "Thank you, I am willing to work here as a helper."
