It’s not easy to be an interstellar chef

Su Chaoqi returned to the First Military Academy in a good mood.

Su Chaoliu was already waiting for her to ask about the situation: "Did everything go well today?"

"It went very smoothly," Su Chaoqi shared today's process and her joy with Su Chaoliu, "I have reached an agreement with the professor. The experiment will be completed by their research team, and what I have to do is to allow the ancient books I translated to be published by a regular publishing house."

Originally, the ancient books she translated were for her own use and she had never thought about publishing them. However, once published, it would mean that the materials she translated would have official validity. When Professor Wen's team published their paper, they would use the parts she translated, which would have considerable credibility.

Of course, Su Chaoqi was happy about much more than that.

"I saw a large exhibition hall at Professor Wen's place, which was full of plant specimens. I saw a lot of plants I wanted in it, the most important of which was wheat!"

After hearing this, Su Chaoliu couldn't help but be surprised: "Does this mean that I can eat noodles soon?"

"Yes!" Su Chaoqi, who was always steady and never showed his displeasure, smiled with his eyes bent, "My business territory can also be expanded a lot."

The number of dishes that can be cooked has also increased a lot.

However, Su Chaoqi certainly couldn't do the planting himself, so he had to hand it over to Yue Ming.

Without further ado, Su Chaoqi immediately called Yue Ming.

Yue Ming was confused: "What's the matter at night?"

"Of course I have something to say," Su Chaoqi said bluntly, "Why would I come to you if I have nothing to say?"

"I knew it," Yue Ming muttered, "you're not looking for good things with me."

Su Chaoqi didn't care how many complaints he had, and directly told him the purpose of looking for him: "I think I found Xiaomai."

Then Su Chaoqi heard a loud "clang". It should be that Yue Ming stood up out of surprise, causing the chair to fall over.

But Yue Ming didn't bother to hold the chair at this moment, and asked loudly: "Are you sure? Where did you find it?"

Yue Ming was indeed a playboy before, but more than a year has passed and he has turned over a new leaf!

To be precise, he had a huge mountain pressing down on him. Qin Xin assigned him tasks every day, every week, and every month, just like his biological mother supervising him to complete his studies... No, his biological mother didn't supervise him like this when he was in school.

If he showed any laziness or protested, Qin Xin would bring his father out.

Although he is almost thirty years old... and is afraid that it would be embarrassing for his father, Yue Ming feels that he is being filial.

Therefore, Yue Ming has read a lot of information translated by Su Chaoqi, especially some information about snacks. After all, he still has the Blue Star Snack Stand project under his name.

Yue Ming knew very well the importance of wheat, or flour, but he spent a lot of money to ask the studio to look for it on various asteroids, but they still haven't found it, so he thought wheat was extinct.

Of course, he didn't dare say this to Su Chaoqi. Anyway, he not only wanted to find wheat, but also other edible plants, so he just kept looking.

But he was very surprised when Su Chaoqi said he had found it.

Su Chaoqi briefly recounted her visit to Professor Wen today.

"The professor sent me the locations of all the plants he found," Su Chaoqi said, "ask someone to bring some back for cultivation."

"I understand," Yue Ming took a deep breath, "I'll take care of this, just send me the coordinates."

Yue Ming was already thinking about finding someone to be responsible for planting the wheat when he brought it back.

After arranging this matter, Su Chaoqi looked in the address book and finally landed on Mo Jinhui's name.

By the way, I haven't heard from this senior for a long time. I think he said before that he went to do archaeological work with the professor, and we haven't had much contact since then.

In that case, it would not be a good idea to disturb him directly, so Su Chaoqi sent a message to Molisa to ask about Mo Jinhui's recent news.

Molisa Mo replied to messages very quickly. As the top leader of a company, she had to reply to messages no matter how late it was. This was an essential quality.

"Jinhui? He just came back recently, why are you asking about him?"

"I want to ask you for help with something, senior. Is it convenient for me to bother you?"

Mo Lisa’s eyes rolled around: “It’s not inconvenient, he’s lying at home.”

Su Chaoqi decided to contact Mo Jinhui tomorrow.

Su Chaoliu watched her busying around, then told her: "The recruitment of new members for the Student Union will begin next week."

Of course, Su Chaoliu just informed her and told her that he was busy, so Su Chaoqi just nodded to show that he understood.

Su Chaoliu is not only busy with the Student Union's affairs. It's time for make-up exams when school starts. The Student Union has to organize exam room discipline and assist teachers in completing the make-up exams.

Because Su Chaoliu was "famous" last semester, more and more students came to her for help in marking key points, so Su Chaoliu had to divide her energy and do some targeted review for them.

Therefore, Su Chaoliu's popularity among students is not too low. The two of them each had their own things to do. After class the next day, Su Chaoqi followed the professor into the office with a thank-you gift.

The professor was very kind to Su Chaoqi, much kinder than last semester. Perhaps he felt that Su Chaoqi had "repented and returned to the right path" and was finally willing to put her intelligence and talents into the right direction of research.

"Did everything go smoothly yesterday?" the professor asked gently, "You didn't get embarrassed by Professor Wen, did you?"

"It went smoothly," Su Chaoqi nodded and smiled, "Professor Wen gave a lot of help. I would also like to thank the professor for his help. This is a small thank-you gift I prepared. Please accept it."

Su Chaoqi took out a food box from the space button, which contained a platter of braised vegetarian dishes she had made, and handed it to the professor.

Everything can be braised. There are braised dried tofu, braised bean curd sticks, braised mushrooms, braised potatoes, braised radishes... It's a big box that is so sincere that Su Chaoqi needs to hold it with both hands to keep it steady.

She braised a lot of food today, and only gave a part of it to the professor.

Su Chaoqi prepared too much, and the professor didn't dare to accept it.

"You can take it back and enjoy it with your family," Su Chaoqi persuaded gently, "Don't worry, these things are not worth much. I made so many, and the cost was less than fifty star coins. I can also write down the production method for you. If you like, you can make it yourself next time."

In a nutshell, these things were worthless, so the professor accepted them without any hesitation.

Su Chaoqi used all his power to persuade the professor to accept the thank-you gift, and then Su Chaoqi offered to resign.

This matter ended perfectly. Su Chaoqi crossed out this matter in his notebook and then looked at the next thing - contacting Mo Jinhui.

Su Chaoqi directly called Mo Jinhui, and fortunately someone picked up the call not long after.

Mo Jinhui's voice was as gentle as ever: "Schoolmate?"

"Senior," Su Chaoqi smiled, "Long time no see. I have something to ask of you. How do you think it would be convenient for us to meet?"

Mo Jinhui laughed helplessly: "You really don't come to my house for no reason. If you don't mind, come to my house."

Su Chaoqi didn't mind, she readily agreed: "Okay, I'll be there right away."

Mo Jinhui's address was quickly sent to Su Chaoqi's computer. Su Chaoqi took a look at the address and went to the parking lot to pick up her aircraft.

From the address one can tell that Mo Jinhui lives alone, but I don’t know whether he rents or buys the house.

The property management of the community is quite strict and required Su Chaoqi to register before letting him in.

After Su Chaoqi parked the aircraft in the community’s public parking lot, he found Mo Jinhui’s doorstep and rang the doorbell.

Mo Jinhui came and opened the door quickly.

"Here you are," he stepped aside to let Su Chaoqi in, "Come in and sit anywhere you want."

After Su Chaoqi entered the room, her eyes fell on the new pair of women's slippers at the entrance. She smiled and put them on: "If I had known that it was inconvenient for you, I would have asked you to meet outside."

"It's not inconvenient at all," Mo Jinhui shook his head, "I live alone here."

Su Chaoqi said: "It's inconvenient to live alone. If someone misunderstands, it won't be good."

Mo Jinhui smiled and said, "Please sit down. I'll pour you some water."

Su Chaoqi looked around Mo Jinhui's house. It was a one-bedroom and one-living room layout, but the living room was very large and divided into two parts. Behind the sofa was a large desk, which was convenient for Mo Jinhui to work.

There were some documents scattered on the desk. Su Chaoqi politely withdrew her gaze and did not look at the desk for any longer. Then she sat down on the single sofa.

Mo Jinhui brought over a glass of ice water and placed it on the coffee table for Su Chaoqi, then sat down on the sofa, close to Su Chaoqi.

Su Chaoqi started the conversation first: "Senior, did your archaeological trip go smoothly this time?"

"It's just helping the instructor," Mo Jinhui chuckled, "it can be considered a smooth journey."

"Did you get any results?" Su Chaoqi asked casually, but then he realized, "I shouldn't tell you. Just pretend I didn't ask."

"There's nothing I can't say," Mo Jinhui found a few pictures on his laptop, "Everything has been sorted out, and the paper is already under review and waiting to be published. A lot of information will also be made public, so I'm just letting you take a look at it in advance."

Since Mo Jinhui said so, Su Chaoqi would of course give him face and take a few looks.

But, just one glance made her unable to look away.

It was a mottled, incomplete fragment of an aircraft with a pattern painted on it. Although it had been eroded by time, it was obvious that it was a five-pointed star.

"What is this?" she asked in astonishment. "Where did you go to conduct archaeological research?"

"This is an asteroid," Mo Jinhui saw that Su Chaoqi's expression was not right, so he carefully chose his words, "You know, Yanhuang Star was originally an undeveloped planet. People from the pre-interstellar civilization wandered here and gradually developed civilization. And on this asteroid, there are suspected people from the pre-interstellar civilization wandering on it. Perhaps for various reasons, they were abandoned by the main force. We are going to look for the ruins." (End of this chapter)
