Chapter 693: Hot pot is the characteristic of my hometown
The main fleet of the empire in the Lion's Den Galaxy has not yet received the results of the battle in the Modan Galaxy. However, when King Suliuka learned that the fleet commanded by Major General Biffy had successfully jumped to the battlefield and launched the charge first,
He was no longer prepared to continue paying attention to the battle situation over there.
In short, Miss Suliuka Wang, who was in a good mood, ignored the reinforcements that were being assembled. At this time, she was walking briskly down to the fifth underground floor of the living area on board the Dawn Angel, which is where ordinary soldiers live and work.
Recreation area.
The majestic elected emperor did not bring a single guard or maid with her, but behind her were two robots the size of Chihuahuas that walked almost silently. This was her only appearance.
According to her, if there are people on board my own flagship who want to harm me, then how failed is my life? The end of such a worthless life should be the end.
This is the magnificence of a king. Of course, this has nothing to do with the fact that she herself is equipped with various protective treasures and is also a top psychic with extraordinary talents. It must have nothing to do with it.
Ms. Suliuka Wang remembered that today’s canteen No. 77 on the fifth floor provided thick soup with vegetable stew, fried beef cakes, sweet bread, honey cake, and milky bird meat and mushroom noodles. Especially the last one.
Bird meat and mushroom noodles in milk soup are said to be a special dish that the flagship chef secretly learned from the 2nd Guards Fleet. Brunhilt has long wanted to try it.
All in all, the empire never compromises on the food for soldiers. The food is large in quantity, full of oil, water, sugar, water, and carbohydrates, but it just looks too common and not suitable for the upper class.
However, the noble and beautiful Miss "Light of Heaven" just likes this feeling.
The soldier canteen on the fifth floor of the flagship has more than a hundred dining areas, which can accommodate 20,000 to 30,000 people dining at the same time. These restaurants are located on both sides of a central axis main road.
However, when King Suliuka passed by Restaurant No. 48, she suddenly smelled a big... well, strange smell.
Generally speaking, this smell should be the aroma of food, but it is too strong and can even be described as gorgeous. This is indeed a bit beyond the traditional understanding of food by the Imperial people. However, Brunhild claims to have eaten all over the world.
As a gourmand at most roadside stalls in the region - even though it was all takeaways packed for her by Gia Fiel - she quickly determined that it was a soup made with various spices and thick butter.
.
Brunhildt forgot about the milk noodle soup in restaurant No. 77 and pushed open the door of No. 48. It was early in the morning standard time, and most of the soldiers were resting. Even those on combat readiness duty had robots serving their meals.
They were sent to their posts. In the restaurant, except for three or five working robots, there was no one else, so the view was quite broad.
Miss Suliuka Wang quickly passed the dining area that could accommodate a thousand people and saw the kitchen area in the corner of the room, which was the source of the smell.
She walked straight over and quickly saw Yu Lian busy in front of the electric stove through the transparent window.
Miss Brunhildt did not feel that she saw a well-trained elite officer, but a well-trained cook. And beside him, there were two less well-trained helpers.
One was a young man wearing a training uniform that she didn't recognize. He should be a student of some juvenile military academy, right? Oh, yes, it seemed to be the orderly assigned to him by Ostana. The other one was clearly Nelhana Mehra.
Already.
I asked you to keep an eye on him. Is this your opinion?
King Suliuka couldn't help but glare at Nelhana, but at this time, Yu Lian, who was busy in front of the stove, had already turned around, and happened to make eye contact with the former who opened the kitchen door.
"Ah ha..." Yu Liang laughed a few times and then said: "It's been a long night and I didn't want to sleep. I thought I was the only one who couldn't sleep. I didn't expect that you, Your Highness, couldn't sleep either!"
So who are we? Mushrooms? Nerhana thought as she was cutting mushrooms.
As for the boy Emil who was cutting luncheon meat, he was so trembling that he couldn't even hold the knife steady. His face turned red as if he might pass away at any moment.
The child had naturally seen King Suliuka on the boat, but this was the first time he had been so close.
Brunhildt didn't answer, just leaned against the door with his hands folded, and his eyes swept over the dishes on the table.
Of course they are all raw, but it can be seen that the knife skills are quite good. This is normal, after all, one is an astral knight and is used to playing with knives. The other is said to have worked and studied in the cafeteria of the military academy when he was a child, and also interned in the military kitchen.
Pass.
Then, her eyes stopped on the red soup base, and she showed a strange look in her eyes.
Yu Liandao: "If you can't sleep, you should have a late-night snack! For a late-night snack, you should have hot pot. I think hot pot is the most all-encompassing delicacy in the world! This spicy soup base is the specialty of our hometown, and you have to try it.
.While eating, you can also discuss the future of the country and nation.”
Brunhild glanced at Yu Lian, and then raised the corners of his mouth symbolically to show his polite appreciation for this completely incomprehensible joke.
"Although there is a gourmet who said that he feels that the most uncultured food and the food that he most wishes to disappear is hot pot... But, I think that any dish that is loved by the public represents an orderly cultural inheritance. Therefore, each should keep it.
Good opinion.”
If it were normal times, Yu Lian would definitely scold this gourmet to the point of doubting his life, but in front of outsiders, it is better to restrain himself a little.
Brunhildt showed a sarcastic smile: "But I think that one of the professions in the world that should disappear most includes gourmets."
Then, she sat down unceremoniously, not minding at all whether her gorgeous moon-white general uniform did not match the style of the red soup pot full of civilian flavor.
"I've also had hot pot before! It's made with clear soup, stocked soup, or boiled water, but I've never heard of it being so intense."
Because the white soup in the copper pot belongs to the nobility, and the pure red soup belongs to the working people! Yu Lian thought.
"It turns out this is Yu Lianqing, the specialty of your hometown!"
Yu Lian is really not sure when chili peppers entered the East Asian continent in the timeline of this universe. But what is certain is that spicy food has indeed become a calling card of hometown cuisine. Maybe people born in humid and rainy areas,
It’s hard to resist this taste.
Brunhildt over there just asked casually, not interested in the answer. She twitched her graceful nose and seemed to be enjoying it very much.
“It’s so rich!”
"Strong scent?"
“There’s also a strong sense of humanity.”
Yu Lian clicked his tongue in amazement. He had to admit that this Miss "Light of Heaven" was indeed an extremely intelligent person. Maybe her IQ was not as good as that of the Miss Bei family, but her understanding was really bright!
Some people will start to get hungry when they smell the aroma of hot pot, but some people can't tolerate it, especially the smell of spices and fats adhering to their clothes, especially the upper class and decent people.
However, His Royal Highness the Chosen Emperor, who is already extremely valuable, is the former, so Yu Lian will naturally not object to her joining.
Anyway, hot pot, which is considered "uneducated" by a certain gourmet, means that the more people eat, the happier it is. So he ordered Miss Nerhana and the boy Emil next to him to cut some more vegetables.
On this side, the extremely smart Brunhild had already picked up the chopsticks very skillfully, picked up a piece of pink food that looked like thick noodles, put it in the pot and boiled it for a long time, until the color was gone.
It turned white and was coated in red spicy oil before being put into his bowl.
You've overcooked it. Don't you understand what seven ups and eight downs mean?
"What is this?" King Suliuka asked.
"It stands to reason that goose intestines should be used, but no such ingredient was found on the ship." Yu Lian said: "So, this is the fibrous body I pulled off the sandworm corpse, that is, the mucous membrane between the carapace and the body. For now
Just think of it as the connective tissue of sandworms. Anyway, the taste is similar."
Emil coughed loudly, and then quickly turned his head to the side. Even Nelhana, who was cutting fish fillets in boiling water, looked shocked and speechless. She really didn't know that Yu Lian had just been soaked in the water.
This pot of vegetables that has been cooking for a long time turned out to be something so intense.
"Those zerg ate the rest?" Brynhilt raised his eyebrows curiously.
"It's what they gnawed away. Haha, those guys don't know what they are doing! Of course, we have to thank our sandworm friends. This thing can already be regarded as a fantasy beast. The mysterious factors filled in the cells can ensure that their bodies
It is guaranteed to be fresh for a period of time and will not spoil under the high temperature in the desert." Yu Lian said with a smile: "This is simply a dream ingredient sent from heaven!"
"But the remains were eaten by insects."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Miss Queen smiled, then put it into her mouth and chewed it without saying a word.
So this is really too old! Yu Lian thought.
"It tastes great, crunchy and crunchy! It is indeed a delicacy full of fireworks and human touch! Tsk, a hot pot restaurant from Earth opened in Tianyu the year before last. I have always wanted to try it, but I have never been able to do it. This can't be done either
Please pack it up, Gilly!"
It was probably the first time Brunhildt had eaten something so spicy, but she didn't seem uncomfortable at all. She half-squinted her eyes, feeling the hot pot soup coming out of the gaps in the ingredients, stimulating her taste buds.
Then he poured a plate of sandworm connective tissue into the pot without finishing.
Yu Lian couldn't stop it, so he could only secretly sigh at the pity, thinking that if in our hometown, you would definitely be regarded as a melon for eating duck intestines like you.
He was just stunned when the stunning beauty known as the "Light of Heaven" had already dropped her chopsticks and started grabbing the beef slices in the pot.
This little girl made a sneak attack!
Ever since, Nelhana and Emil, who were hiding aside and trying to disguise themselves as kitchen helper robots, looked at the two people who were happily grabbing food in front of the red pot that was cooking.
It was too late to disguise myself as a kitchen utensil, so I could only hide in the corner of the kitchen and was in a dilemma.
Fortunately, Brunhildt was not a solitary eater. He just lost his temper a little because it suited his appetite. After eating seven or eight pieces of beef and mutton, he ate several pieces of boiled old meat.
The sandworm fibers that had been blown away slowly slowed down a little, and he sighed with emotion: "Yu Lianqing, if you continue like this, I will be more and more reluctant to let you go."
Nelhana covered her ears, and then used her eyes to signal Emil next to her not to listen.
"Don't you want to part with my hot pot?" Yu Lian said with a smile. At the same time, he was about to place other dishes for the empty hot pot, and motioned for Nerhana and Emil over there to sit down, but unfortunately these two people didn't dare to do so, so they just
Can give up.
"This is also one aspect. For example, what you eat with this kind of delicacy is the use of seasonings. Some self-proclaimed gourmets may think that this will change the taste of the food itself, so it is not high-end... However, it can become a legacy
There is only a hint of fireworks in the delicious food. However, I am surrounded by too many people who think they are high-class. If this continues, people will become so high-class that they may not even know what fireworks are."
"Oh, this is easy to handle. You can dress casually and escape to that Tianyu hotpot restaurant for a meal every month, and listen to what the market has to say while eating." Yu Lian said with a smile, "But, for a month
One meal is enough. I feel that although hot pot is the most all-encompassing food, it is not a good thing if you only have one taste in your mouth."
"This is a way..." King Suliuka's eyes lit up, but then he chuckled: "But, Yu Lianqing, there is no point in continuing to pretend to be confused at this time! We have already talked about something similar."
Oops, the distraction tactic still didn't work.
"I am a cheerful person, and you should be too. Let's go straight to the point. As you know the Gongsun family of Earl Yongdi, you should understand that the empire will never be stingy with real talents."
She leaned back a little on her chair and said with a smile: "How's it going? Yu Lianqing, what happened to what you thought about last time? Why don't you come to our side? You are now the fourth ring, so you should be called a general directly.
Your Excellency, compared to Earth, the generals on the Empire side are more practical."
Yu Lian said that what he fears the most is the type that cuts straight to the point. The sideways lobbyist sent by the Generalissimo's Office last time was very good. He was gentle, humorous and very understanding of the mood of the people around him.
So, Yu Lian chatted and joked with this guy for half an hour, starting from the tractor market of the Ural Republic in the last century to the future of space animal husbandry in New China, and finally fully exchanged their opinions.
, but they won’t talk so hard that neither side can stand down.
It's not like this woman, who always hits the ball so hard, without caring whether others can bear it or not.
"I would have thought that this scene has already been over." He said helplessly.
"How is it possible to turn over the story?" Brunhild said matter-of-factly: "Before I let you put on the uniform of the marshal of the empire, this scene will never be turned over. So that you know, Yu Lianqing, the people of the Chenxi Royal Family are very
Persistence is also very overbearing, and we will never let go of the things we like, whether they are people or things."
Is this talking about me or the earth?
Yu Lian almost had an emergency reaction due to her. He felt that his eyes must be very dangerous at this time, so he lowered his head slightly to cover it up.
"...Although your words are indeed overbearing and unreasonable, I must admit that His Majesty and your regard for him is a supreme honor even for a rebellious person like me. But I still have to refuse.
"
"Why? Do you have any doubts about Chenxi Royal Family's ability as the master? But didn't you say that I am the sun in your mind?"
Nelhana and Emil had huddled behind a table in the corner and no one could be seen. Even the corners of Yu Lian's mouth began to twitch: "Well, Your Highness, there are actually many suns in the Milky Way... Just...
The Longya 1-02 galaxy next door to us has two suns. Of course, the more important thing is that I am afraid that I will not be able to help His Highness."
"Sure enough, it's because you are Victoria Li's disciple and grandson!"
In fact, I am another disciple of Teacher Li, so no matter what, I cannot accept being loyal to a concrete individual. Yu Lian thought.
