It’s not easy to be an interstellar chef

Chapter 287

There is no shortage of chicken, duck, fish and meat in the refrigerator. Su Chaoqi put them in different categories and marked them thoughtfully for easy access.

There is no shortage of ingredients, but the main thing is that I don’t know what to eat and how to cook it.

This time, Yan Tieyi didn't let her eat the dark dishes made by the Chefs Association, so she escaped. So she hasn't eaten a bite of meat for nearly two months. Now she just wants to quickly eat a bite of delicious food to satisfy her poor stomach.

Seeing her hesitating in front of the freezer, Yan Tieyi came over and stood behind her, with his hands on the armrest of the refrigerator: "What's wrong? Are you in any trouble?"

"Nothing." Su Chaoliu turned around and found that Yan Tieyi's body formed an angle with the refrigerator, trapping her in the middle. She couldn't help but frown and closed the refrigerator door with her backhand. "I just don't know what to eat."

Yan Tieyi took a step back tactfully, leaving space for Su Chaoliu: "What do you want to eat? I'll have someone bring it over. Beef, lamb, or something else?"

He said so lightly that many people on Yanhuang Star might not be able to eat a single bite of exotic beast meat in their entire lives.

Su Chaoliu waved his hand: "I don't need you to send it. Exotic beast meat is not cheap on the Star Network."

She didn't want to take advantage of Yan Tieyi. She had food here, so why should she ask him to deliver it to her?

"It's not that expensive," Yan Tieyi shook his head, "It's not like you want high-grade exotic beast meat. I can get it by just asking someone."

The evil upper class, Su Chaoliu pulled the corner of his mouth with a fake smile: "If the major general really wants to buy it, why not buy some tofu and vegetables?"

After all, vegetarian food cannot be stored easily, so Su Chaoqi processed all the vegetarian dishes before leaving.

Then Su Chaoliu opened another refrigerator, found the compartment with "hot pot ingredients" written on it, and took something out.

Su Chaoliu believes that hot pot is the most inclusive cooking method. Any ingredients can be put into the hot pot and eaten after being cooked, and the base of the pot can be freely selected, such as spicy pot, clear soup pot, tomato pot, etc. It is also the simplest and most convenient way to cook, as you just have to put the ingredients in.

Su Chaoliu found the hot pot base prepared by Su Chaoqi in the refrigerator. It was spicy and mellow, which was her favorite taste.

After Yan Tieyi placed an order on StarNet, he asked, "Do you need my help with anything?"

"No need," Su Chaoliu replied without even looking up, "Just sit there and wait for your food. Thirty minutes will be enough."

A newbie in the kitchen would only slow her down, and she didn't have the patience to slowly teach Yan Tieyi how to do it at this point in time.

Yan Tieyi leaned against the island counter, watching Su Chaoliu deftly put the ingredients into a machine and take them out after a few minutes.

He didn't understand: "What are you doing?"

Su Chaoliu replied: "Defrost. The ingredients just taken out of the freezer are frozen hard. They can only be put into the pot after they are thawed."

It is edible if you put the food directly into the hot pot without thawing it, but it will cause some foods to taste bad.

Yan Tieyi is an absolute novice when it comes to cooking, so he would ask several questions about everything he saw. Fortunately, Su Chaoliu was patient with him, and answering his questions did not affect her cooking.

The doorbell rang, and the food that Yan Tieyi ordered arrived. Su Chaoliu couldn't leave, so Yan Tieyi went to receive it.

After Yan Tieyi brought the food in, he asked, "Where should we put these?"

"Give it here..." Su Chaoliu raised his eyes while answering, and then he was stunned, "How much did you buy?"

How did you get such a big bag in?

Yan Tieyi had an expressionless and handsome face: "I was afraid it wouldn't be enough, so I bought 20 kilograms."

No matter how good-tempered Su Chaoliu was, she wanted to scream at this moment: "Twenty kilograms, are you feeding pigs? There are so many kinds of food, two kilograms each, and we can't finish them both. Twenty kilograms..."

At the end, Su Chaoliu simply couldn't continue.

She underestimated Yan Tieyi's wealth. Who knew that he really didn't regard money as money?

Their refrigerator is simply too small to accommodate hundreds of kilograms of food.

Su Chaoliu left a little bit of each thawed ingredient and put them back.

"Take it back when you leave," Su Chaoliu held his forehead weakly, "Take it back to the army. I'll give you all the hot pot ingredients. Let the army deal with these ingredients."

There are many people in the army, so these food ingredients will not be wasted.

Yan Tieyi looked at the ingredients that took up all the space: "My space button is not big enough."

No matter what, Su Chaoliu, a young master like him, will definitely find a way to solve this problem.

Yan Tieyi’s solution was to call the chief of staff over and specifically told him to bring a few more space buttons.

The chief of staff came over with the space button, not knowing why. After hearing the whole story, he burst into laughter that was not loved by his teammates.

"Are you done laughing?" Yan Tieyi endured his laughter and said expressionlessly, "Get lost if you're done laughing."

The chief of staff looked at Yan Tieyi with a half-smile. Before he could say anything, Su Chaoliu took over the conversation: "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Stay and eat with us."

You can't let people come all the way here and not even give them a meal.

The chief of staff gave Yan Tieyi a victorious look and turned to Su Chaoliu: "Thank you, Xiao Chaoliu. I'll put away all these ingredients first." Su Chaoliu had already taken enough for them to eat today, so she had no objection to the chief of staff putting them away.

The chief of staff pulled Yan Tieyi to help, and couldn't help but scold him in a low voice: "Brother, what are you thinking? You bought so much that it weighs more than the two of you. Don't you think about whether you can finish it?"

Yan Tieyi gritted his teeth and said, "I was thinking of leaving some for her to prevent her from buying it again."

The chief of staff sneered, "Now that they have everything, they won't pack it all up and send it away for you. You're trying to please them in the wrong way."

"Oh, of course I can't compare to your experience," Yan Tieyi retorted, "Why do I remember someone picking a gift that no one else liked?"

Because they couldn't keep in touch due to work reasons, the young couple almost broke up.

Don't hit people in the face, don't expose their shortcomings when you scold them. These two have been friends for too long, and they know every bit of each other's dark history. They will expose any past that is too embarrassing to look back on.

After they finished cleaning up, Su Chaoliu brought the hot pot to the table: "You can eat now."

The two sat down at the table and saw the boiling soup in the pot, the rising and falling of the ingredients, and the spicy aroma at the tip of their noses, which made their appetites whetted.

"Hurry up and eat the meat," Su Chaoliu called them, "Fish balls, fish fillets, boneless duck feet, chicken feet, and chicken are all cooked. After you eat them, we will put the duck blood and duck intestines in."

After saying that, she ignored the other two people, picked up the dishes she wanted to eat, and started eating.

What a joke! She had been fasting for two months, so how could she have the time to care whether they had eaten or not? Just saying this was already polite of her.

Knowing that she hadn't eaten well in the past two months, Yan Tieyi and the chief of staff didn't compete with her for the food. They picked up the meat and took a bite slowly.

"Hiss—" the chief of staff was shocked, "You made it too spicy."

"Is it spicy? Not bad," Su Chaoliu said vaguely, "Maybe I can handle spicy food, so the flavor of the soup base is made heavier."

"I think it's okay too," Yan Tieyi agreed, "If you can't finish it, just eat less."

It is impossible to eat less. The Chief of Staff tasted the deliciousness of the hot pot with just one bite, but his tongue felt so hot that he was unable to do anything about it.

"Where's the water?" The Chief of Staff stood up and poured himself some water. "Is there any ice water?"

Of course there was ice water. In Interstellar, one could freely choose the water temperature for drinking water. The chief of staff poured himself a large glass of ice water and sat down at the dining table to continue eating.

Yan Tieyi mocked him: "Don't drink so much that you can't eat."

The chief of staff replied stiffly: "You don't need to worry about it."

After most of the dishes in the pot were eaten, Su Chaoliu put the duck blood, duck intestines, frozen tofu, tofu shreds, and yuba into the pot and waited for them to be cooked.

During this period, the chief of staff poured ice water at least three times.

With something in his stomach, Su Chaoliu finally had the energy to start talking politely: "I was not prepared this time. Next time I will prepare a non-spicy hot pot for the chief of staff."

The chief of staff smiled happily: "Thank you very much, Xiao Chaoliu."

Yan Tieyi couldn't bear to see him get special treatment: "No need to prepare anything for him, just treat him the same as me."

The chief of staff kept smiling, stepped hard on Yan Tieyi's foot under the table, and crushed his instep: "Why are you talking so much? You didn't prepare this for me."

Su Chaoliu sighed: "Come, eat some vegetables, the duck blood is getting old."

After finally shutting the two men up with food, Su Chaoliu finally had the leisure to pay attention to other things.

"Try these soy products more often. In the Blue Star period, soy products were often used to replace meat. They have very high nutritional value."

"Don't cook duck blood for too long, or it will become tough and lose its smooth texture."

"Be careful when eating tofu, it is full of soup and it is easy to get burned."

The chief of staff couldn't help but sigh: "There are so many particulars. What did we eat before?"

"Chefs Association," Yan Tieyi sneered, "What do you expect them to come up with?"

Su Chaoliu immediately stepped up to do a favor: "I have a recipe book for making soy products. Since you two like it so much, why not learn from the recipe book."

The chief of staff was more interested than Yan Tieyi: "Okay, I can learn how to make it for my girlfriend."

Su Chaoliu appreciated his kindness and immediately offered him some nice words: "I wish you two a long-lasting relationship."

"Of course," the chief of staff said with a smile, "a man who can please his girlfriend is a real man."

Yan Tieyi: I feel a sense of connotation.

Afterwards, Su Chaoliu blanched some green leafy vegetables and bean sprouts into the hot pot. After all, nutrition must be balanced and daily vitamins are also essential.

Overall, the meal was enjoyable for both the host and the guests. After the meal, Su Chaoliu refused their offer to stay and help clean up, and resolutely sent them away.
