Imperial Marshal Feeding Log

Chapter 88 Hot Pot
"That's good. But you don't have to worry too much, your body is the most important thing." Du Xixi's voice was soft, but she still inadvertently showed a little tiredness when she lowered her head, and Ke Lian handed a glass of warm water in due course, "Where are you coming?" When you are in good health, if you want to come to CD-0329, please ask Sister Mo Ying to bring you here."

Du Xixi took a sip of warm water and felt that the thirst in his mouth had been eliminated a lot, so he stretched the creases between his brows and eyes, and continued: "Of course, we will probably live on CD-0329 for a long time, do you like it?" Reading books, I’m afraid there aren’t any good books for you to read on CD-0329. You can stay in the empire to rest, but it’s just a lot of trouble for Sister Mo Ying.”

Miao Miao likes to read books, this is a fact that Du Xixi discovered a long time ago, although Du Xixi doesn't know who she learned this hobby from.

After all, the few members of the Ke family have always regarded the books on the large bookshelves in the study as decorations. Even Ke Xing, the middle-aged man who looks the most elegant, only reads the interstellar newspapers in the morning and evening to learn about current affairs. That's all.

"It's okay!" Mo Ying was sitting next to Miao Miao. She was obviously only wearing ordinary home clothes, but with her long hair tied up, she had sharp eyes, so she looked smart in her home clothes, "Wen Ting I don't know which research institute I was transferred to to do research, and I probably won't come back once in a few years, and I'm just alone at home on vacation, so it's just right for Miao Miao to accompany me."

Ye Wenting is an advanced research institute of the Imperial Research Institute, and conducts many important researches every year. This time, he was transferred to an unknown research institute.

According to the confidentiality agreement, it was really difficult for Ye Wenting to come back to visit Mo Ying.Even if Mo Ying is a member of the military, she still can't go to see Ye Wenting for personal gain.

Hearing this, Du Xixi just smiled, chatted with Mo Ying and Miao Miao, and the video call was hung up this time.Du Xixi looked at the page that had been hung up for a long time, and then said to Ke Lian who sat over: "Miao Miao's spirit looks pretty good, but I don't think she will come to CD-0329 star."

"I think so too." When Du Xixi was a little tired after finishing the live broadcast, Ke Lian supported her head, let her rest most of her body on his shoulders, and then massaged her with one hand, "Miao Miao I like to read, and if the time is right, I will still need to send her to school in the future."

Du Xixi nodded in agreement, feeling that Ke Lian's proposal made a point.People in the Star Age had a long life expectancy, so they generally went to school at a later age.

The Blue Star Empire has compulsory education guarantees. When everyone reaches the age of 40, they must enter a lower school, followed by a middle school and a higher school.Blue Star Empire will always teach everyone voluntarily until they go to colleges and universities.

After colleges and universities, those with excellent grades can take the interstellar joint exam and enter the university of their choice to continue their studies, while those with slightly lower grades often choose to enter society and start earning money to support their families.

For example, when I was in the military hospital, those nurses who were stabbed by Mo Feng's unintentional words were generally in their 80s. medical talent.

In the Ke family, both Ke Xing and Ke Lian belonged to the class with good grades, and they both passed the top military academy in the interstellar world.As for the original owner, he was admitted to the Department of Ancient History of Blue Star University with excellent grades, but he didn't continue to study because of his poor health.

Du Xixi received a very high-level education when she was in Blue Star, so she naturally knows the importance of knowledge to a person, and also knows that if a person does not have a foundation of knowledge, it may be difficult to succeed in society.

Especially in the Xing Ji era, such a high-tech information age, if you don't have knowledge, you may not even be qualified to do manual labor.

Feeling Ke Lian's massage on her head, Du Xixi felt that her slightly tense nerves were completely relaxed, and even her tone seemed relaxed: "Going to school is really important, I just hope that when Miao Miao is 40 years old, people The prejudice in my heart has faded."

Prejudice...prejudice against "alien".

Whether it is born or acquired, people who are not of our race must have a different heart. These eight words have always run through people's hearts.

"Everything will be fine. Soon." Ke Lian is in a high position, and he understands the current situation of the empire better than Du Xixi, and also knows which direction the Star Age Era is developing in.

Technology will advance, and people's minds will be liberated, but it's just prejudice... When everything has accumulated to a certain level, qualitative changes will occur.No matter how much prejudice there is, it will become a trivial matter of habit.

***
"Ma'am! They brought two cows and sheep!"

In the evening, Du Xixi was sitting on the new swing in the yard, quietly watching Ke Lian and Ke Xing teasing the children opposite, when she heard 2569's call, she was naturally surprised.

When Du Xixi came down from the swing, 2569 had already approached a big animal. Du Xixi took a closer look, and his first reaction was that the two cows and sheep being dragged by 2569 like little chickens were pitiful.

The big yellow ox and the soft big white sheep, which were supposed to be clean, are lying on the ground coweringly at this moment. One cow leg and one lamb leg are held by 2569's long mechanical arm, unable to move.

"2569, who sent it?" Du Xixi was a little dazed, and didn't realize it for a moment. Who were the "they" that 2569 said just now, "Arranged by my brother?"

"Of course!" 2569 turned around happily and looked at the two big animals. 2569, who has been instilled with countless gourmet knowledge by his wife, naturally knows that delicious beef and mutton come from them. "They said that His Majesty ordered them to send them, It will be delivered more often in the future!"

Du Xixi smiled, and took a closer look at the two animals that seemed to have no temper at all.Arranging for someone to deliver ingredients to the door is Shen Yin's usual method.It used to be the Rob number, but now it is a specially arranged person. Du Xixi thinks that Shen Yin really knows how to give gifts.

Which chef who likes to cook doesn't like fresh ingredients being delivered to the door?But... Du Xixi looked at the big yellow ox and the big white sheep and blinked, thinking that if they were killed, cleaned and brought here, she would definitely be happier.

But Du Xixi was already very happy to have live ingredients delivered to her door. She stood up straight, and just as a gust of cold wind blew towards her, Du Xixi suddenly had a decision on the outcome of the two cattle and sheep. .

Although winter is about to pass, spring has slowly awakened.But in this slightly cold weather, what else is better than eating hot pot?there is none left!

Du Xixi raised her eyebrows excitedly, and waved at 2569: "Let's go, let's go to the kitchen! Let's have hot pot today!"

One person, one robot, and two loveless cows and sheep on the ground quickly disappeared into the yard. Ke Xing and Ke Lian, who were holding a baby each, looked at each other, not understanding what "hot pot" was at all.

"Hot pot? Burn the pot with fire? Doesn't it burn your mouth?" Ke Xing uttered a soul torture, and at the same time, his eyebrows were grabbed one by one, and he grinned in pain.

Ke Lian and Er Er seemed to be living in peace, Ke Lian shook Er Er who was peacefully in his arms, and said helplessly, "That's the hobby of the Iron-eating Beast Empire, how can normal people eat pots?" ? It doesn’t matter if it’s hot or not, but the teeth will definitely hurt!”

The pots and utensils of the Star Age era are not ordinary iron materials. They are extremely heat-resistant and resistant to molds. Even the sharp minions of the iron-eating beasts need to be ground for a long time.

"Then what kind of dish can it be? Why is it called such a strange name?" Ke Xing didn't understand. Which delicious dish would be called "hot pot"?I'm afraid you have to burn a layer of skin off to enjoy it?

Ke Xing shuddered, feeling that he might be rejecting his daughter-in-law's craftsmanship for the first time.

Du Xixi: Are you sure?
Ke Xing: Of course I am sure!

When Du Xixi asked 2569 to put a hot pot on the dining table, Ke Xing and the others sat around together, the thick mandarin duck soup exuded a strong taste, and Ke Xing also shed tears of regret.

Du Xixi: Are you sure?
Ke Xing: ...Of course not sure!

Hot pot, known as "antique soup" in ancient times, got its name from the sound of "gudong" when the ingredients are put into boiling water.The hot pot has a variety of designs and colors, and a hundred pots have a thousand flavors.The earliest history may be traced back to the Three Kingdoms period.

There are also many types of hot pot, such as seafood hot pot, which is not greasy and delicious; "Beef hot pot" and so on are also very popular types of hot pot.

Du Xixi's favorite is the mutton shabu-shabu.The delicate mutton does not have the slightest smell of mutton. The fresh and tender mutton is cooked in the bottom of the clear soup pot, which retains the delicious taste to the greatest extent. The dipping sauce mixed with sesame paste and fermented bean curd is simply the ultimate enjoyment for the tip of the tongue. delicious.

And when Du Xixi makes mutton shabu-shabu, he will definitely choose lamb hind legs.After countless times of exercise, the muscles of the lamb's hind legs are developed and firm, and the taste is springy, even if it is thin and thin, it still makes people's lips fragrant.

Du Xixi may prefer light hot pot bottoms, but according to observations during this period of time, both Ke Xing and Ke Lian like hard food, especially hot and sour, so Du Xixi made it into a mandarin duck hot pot bottom. .

The bottom of the clear soup is made of scallions, mushrooms, fine rice and sliced ​​ginger; the bottom of the spicy pot is made of red pepper, star anise, chives, cinnamon, etc.

One red and one white are put together in the same pot like this, and they keep bubbling because of the heating at the bottom, which makes the fragrance spread quickly in the room, and the saliva of Ke Xing and Ke Lian It has begun to secrete unstoppably.

"Hot pot should be eaten on the boil, like me!" Du Xixi knew that Ke Xing and Ke Lian had never eaten hot pot, so when they couldn't wait, they picked up a few slices of mutton with serving chopsticks, Put it in the boiling soup for a few seconds, and when you pick it up again, the meat-colored mutton with snowflakes turns milky white.

Du Xixi sandwiched them into the dipping sauce that he had prepared in advance according to his own taste, stirred them a few times with his own chopsticks, then put them in his mouth, chewed them a few times and let out a satisfied "um".

She hasn't made her favorite sesame paste and fermented bean curd yet, so the bowl of dipping ingredients in front of her is nothing more than simple soy sauce and green onion, at most, some chili powder is added to increase the umami taste.

But deliciousness is delicious after all, and it will not become unpalatable because of the lack of dipping materials.Du Xixi felt the unique taste of mutton mixed with the saltiness of soy sauce, the rush of chopped green onion, and the spiciness of chili powder. The four flavors continued to burst, giving Du Xixi the illusion of returning to Blue Star after a long absence.

Du Xixi was in a daze. When I was in Blue Star, as long as it was Chinese New Year, all the family members, big and small, would gather together to eat hot pot.We are all a family, we eat happily and happily, there is nothing unhappy, we all get along harmoniously.

It's not that Du Xixi feels that life is not good now, it's just that compared with the big family on Blue Star, Du Xixi only has Ke Xing, Ke Lian, and two young sons to accompany him, so it's a bit deserted after all. .

The melancholy in Du Xixi's heart didn't show, so Ke Xing and Ke Lian didn't notice Du Xixi's strangeness, they only thought that Du Xixi's momentary trance just now was because of delicious food.

The dipping sauces of the two are adjusted according to their own feelings, and even when the meat is cooked, they rely on their feelings to calculate the degree of doneness. At the entrance, both of them were intoxicated by the charm of hot pot.

Yi Yi and Er Er had already drank milk in advance, and the two young ones looked at the big pot curiously, and the elders around them kept eating, saying "ah" incessantly.

Ke Xing already knew how to tease his grandson, yet keep him from getting angry.He was holding a piece of meat, shaking it in front of Yiyi and Erer, seeing the two babies stretch out their small hands towards the piece of meat, he stuffed the piece of meat into his mouth with lightning speed.

One one and two two: "Ah!"

"Really fragrant!" Ke Xing knew that the two babies still didn't quite understand the meaning of the word "truly fragrant", so teasing them was stress-free.

Du Xixi and Ke Lian looked at each other and smiled, and the sentimentality that had just risen in Du Xixi's heart disappeared at this moment.

Perhaps, she on the Blue Star is indeed more lively and festive, but at this moment she is already the Du Xixi of the Blue Star Empire, she has the same happy family, and she doesn't need to feel any sadness because of the past that she can't go back to .

Lan Xing... Du Xixi cooked some slices of his favorite beef for Ke Lian with serving chopsticks. Seeing him smiling gently at her, Du Xixi was also very satisfied.

Lan Xing has the speed of Lan Xing to help her live every day well, as long as she lives every day well in the Blue Star Empire.

The hot pot in early spring was too warm for the body. When the three of them were full and put down their chopsticks, they ate up all the beef slices, mutton slices, frozen tofu, lettuce slices, beef louvers and other ingredients on the table. Two clean.

"Actually, the bottom of the pot after rinsing can also be used to cook rice and noodles, and it tastes delicious." Du Xixi thought for a while, with a nostalgic smile on his face, "There is also a kind of hot pot, which is purely for use. Rice porridge is used as the bottom of the pot. After rinsing the beef, mutton and fish, all the umami flavors in the ingredients will remain in the bottom of the pot. Not only can the ingredients bring the aroma of the rice, but you can also taste the complex rice porridge at the end. !"

"We must try it next time!" Ke Lian felt that he became more and more greedy under Du Xixi's feeding, but it's not a big deal to be greedy for the food made by his wife, so Ke Lian He smiled and said coquettishly to Du Xixi.

Ke Xing, who felt that it was no big deal to be greedy for the delicious food made by his daughter-in-law, naturally nodded and looked at Du Xixi expectantly.

Du Xixi wanted to eat it herself, so she nodded, "Let's eat it tomorrow!"
