Chapter 159 We Need a Cook
Everyone at the table looked grim.
"How could this be..." Liu Bei said.
"It tastes terrible!" Zhang Fei quickly replied.
Guan Yu nodded.
Roken 89 said: "Everyone, I followed the recipe exactly."
Xiao Zhen said: "But this taste is really not good! How do you make it?"
“I followed the recipe exactly and there were no mistakes.”
"What kind of recipes are those? Let me take a look."
"This is a series of healthy meal packages recommended by the Galaxy Bio-Health and Wellness Association," said Roken 89. "All of them are the best meals with the healthiest nutritional ratios. I have selected the most ideal nutritional meals for each of you based on your racial characteristics."
Captain Ban said: "I know why it tastes so bad. If you follow the recipes written by those health freaks, you might as well eat grass."
Ms. Fei suddenly said, "Dear Luo Ken 89, I have some more delicious recipes here, you can consider it..."
"Allow me to refuse," said Roken 89. "I have been assigned by my superiors to ensure your health. The recipes I cook will only be selected from my health and wellness menu."
Captain Madara shouted, "How can you be so stubborn, robot!"
Roken 89 said: "This is for your health."
Ms. Fei whispered, "My home robot servant can cook delicacies from all over the world. It makes a great soup..."
"Unfortunately, I am not a household robot servant. I am the information director of the Eye of Supervision planet office. In terms of division of labor, my performance is more outstanding and my multi-threaded processing ability is also better..."
Xiao Zhen gave Fei a look. The other party was a member of the Eye of Supervision, and his status was very important . Even if it was just a robot, it should not be compared with other ordinary robots.
After Roken 89 left, Xiaozhen held the first shipboard meeting with the crew.
The meeting topic is: We need to find a cook (not a robot)
Xiao Zhen spoke first: "We need to find a cook."
Everyone nodded.
"Without automatic kitchen facilities, can anyone of you cook?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Okay, when we get supplies on the next planet, we 'll go hire a cook."
That's how it's decided.
How many days have you been in this world?
The sun set and rose again. His shoes had come unglued and his feet were covered with blisters. He felt sore all over with every step he took.
But he could only move forward.
If he stayed in this strange wasteland, no one would ever come down from the sky to save him. Liu Xingquan said to himself that he could only find a way to get out of this wasteland first.
Every time night fell, he looked at the stars in the dark sky, trying to identify the familiar constellations.
However, he couldn't find any of the most obvious stars in the night sky, such as the North Star and the Big Dipper that the teacher taught him.
After the initial confusion, he decided on his direction. That was to follow those shell monsters. These monsters would not attack him. They would go to the place with water. If I followed them, I would not die of thirst.
The stone creature biting the crustacean's limbs came from the bottom of the river. This meant that if he followed the crustacean, he would probably not lack food. Although the meat was too fishy to swallow. The first time he ate this oyster-like meat, the fishy smell in his mouth made him lie on the ground and vomit. His stomach was empty to begin with, and after vomiting for a long time, he only vomited a pool of yellow water. A crustacean came up and smelled the yellow water on the ground, then took a step back in shock and walked away.
But if he doesn't eat, he will starve to death, Liu Xingquan said to himself. He must eat food. So he vomited and frowned as he swallowed the pieces of meat. At first, his throat and stomach protested, but after forcing himself to swallow a few pieces, his body finally accepted it reluctantly.
Liu Xingquan picked out the remaining meat of the oyster-like creature and put it in the lunch box.
A few days later, the meat was all gone. He was hungry again. This time, the crustaceans stopped by a winding river to rest. They were eating a kind of purple weed along the way. Liu Xingquan tried to pull some grass and chew it, and he was sure that as a higher creature like Homo sapiens, he would never eat grass as a meal.
This time the stream was very shallow and narrow. Liu Xingquan waited for a long time, but no crustacean was bitten by the "oyster". He hoped to catch some small fish in the river, but he got nothing. Then he found a nest next to the bushes of the stream, which contained six spotted eggs. Liu Xingquan happily took 5 of them. He didn't know what kind of creature's eggs these were, maybe snakes or birds. He cracked the eggs open, and inside was a light green egg liquid, which Liu Xingquan drank by tilting his neck.
With the meat in front, the egg liquid doesn’t taste that bad in comparison.
He ate three in one go.
In the afternoon, he began to have stomachaches. His stomach began to churn like a rebellion. He rolled on the ground and groaned in pain. Maybe there was something wrong with the eggs, maybe the diet in the past few days finally made his stomach overwhelmed, or maybe the grass he ate was poisonous. He thought randomly in pain. I am dying.
Mom, I feel so bad.
He lay on the ground and cried helplessly. Two shell monsters looked at him curiously. I am going to die. Die in this damn place. No one will collect my body. Liu Xingquan thought painfully, this is good. At least my mother won't see his body.
Didn’t you agree not to let mom cry?
Don’t you still want to tell Yan Zhen about this adventure?
He groaned softly, his consciousness began to fade, and he fell into a coma.
When he woke up again, the crustaceans were moving again. They continued to move forward.
Don't go. Don't leave me. Liu Xingquan shouted.
After these shell-shelled monsters left, where could he find water?
He stood up unsteadily and followed a shell-like monster. There were stars in his eyes, his legs were as soft as cotton, and his eyes were black.
Don't go.
He whispered.
He leaned against a smaller crustacean. The crustacean looked back at him. This was the one he had helped remove the stone oysters from the day before yesterday. "Don't leave," Liu Xingquan said. He wanted to move with them. He tried to climb onto the back of the crustacean.
Its back was rough and hard, and it was not easy to climb at first. Liu Xingquan gritted his teeth and jumped up, and he lay on its back. The other party only shook its body at first, and then took steps forward.
This jump seemed to have exhausted all his strength. Liu Xingquan lay on its back, panting weakly. The crustacean swayed up and down as it walked, but fortunately, the shaking did not cause him to fall. Now the team of crustaceans began to move forward again. He could no longer walk, so he let it carry him.
Thank you, he said to the shell monster under him.
He lay on the back of the shell monster in a daze for an unknown amount of time. When he woke up again, the sky was getting darker. One sun was hiding behind the dark red clouds, and the other sun showed half of its face.
Heavy raindrops fell from the sky. After just a few seconds, his clothes were already mostly wet. He hurriedly took out a folding parasol from his schoolbag.
He opened the umbrella, and the rain gathered at the edge of the umbrella into a small waterfall, splashing water on the back of the crustacean. Liu Xingquan retracted his feet, because the blisters on his feet would hurt when they touched the water.
The rain was pounding, and there were thunder and lightning in the sky. The air was filled with a stench similar to sulfur, the smell of soil, and the smell of wild grass. The dull and hot wasteland was cooled by the heavy rain.
He sat on the back of the shell monster and held an umbrella while moving forward in the wasteland of another world.
This sounds a bit romantic.
It would be even better if warm and delicious cooked food could be delivered to your door.
The bright lightning pierced the sky like a sharp blade. There were rumbling sounds, like a giant beast roaring in the clouds. Thunder rolled, and several dazzling silver-white lights rushed across the sky, bursting into tiny sparks and then disappearing.
He saw thick smoke and flames rising not far away.
It's fire!!
It was a fire caused by lightning!!
The lightning set a bunch of low brush on fire.
There is fire!!
Liu Xingquan excitedly patted the back of the shell monster, trying to direct it to the fire. But the shell monster was completely indifferent . His beating was completely painless. So Liu Xingquan simply jumped down and rushed to the place where the smoke was rising.
By the time he rushed to the fire, the rain had basically stopped, gray smoke was curling, and the remaining fire was burning weakly.
The rain has stopped.
Never mind, just put the remaining eggs in there and bake them first.
He took an egg from his bag and threw it into the fire.
After a while, the egg was burnt and exploded. Bang! Like a small bomb, the broken eggshell flew everywhere. But fortunately it didn't hit him. I'm a fool. Liu Xingquan thought to himself, eggs can't be burnt directly. This is as stupid as putting eggs in the microwave.
So he waited until the embers were almost extinguished, leaving only some glowing embers. He dug a hole and put the last egg in it, covered it with ashes, and then ignited the sparks with hay. After burning for a while, he dug the egg out of the ashes.
The egg was very hot. He groaned in pain.
After peeling off the eggshell, the egg inside showed a light green color. Liu Xingquan hesitated. Was his previous abdominal pain caused by this kind of egg? He didn't know and was not sure.
But now he was very hungry.
This is the only food that seems edible.
He made up his mind and bit it.
Unexpectedly soft and sweet.
In just two bites, he swallowed the egg clean.
It was delicious. It was a pity that he wasted one.
He licked his fingers with satisfaction.
Maybe I can become a successful chef, Liu Xingquan thought complacently.
"I hope this cook can make Faiya's pastries." Ms. Fei said to Xiaozhen.
"My requirements are not high. I just want to cook the home-cooked dishes of the Gunus people." Liu Bei agreed with a smile.
"This chef should be able to make Genus's sweet cakes!!" Zhang Fei shouted.
"And there are also fish balls from Gunus." Guan Yu added.
You are asking for too much. Xiao Zhen and Captain Madara walked down the escalator.
This ship has just docked on this planet. This is the first supply station that Xiaozhen has come to during her journey. Zejin asked Xiaozhen to help deliver a box of goods to the local guild while she is here. Xiaozhen certainly would not refuse Zejin's commission.
"I'm going to deliver the goods to the guild first, and then hire a cook." Xiao Zhen said. The most important thing right now is to find Liu Xingquan, they can't delay too long.
After completing the interstellar customs clearance procedures and quarantine, Xiaozhen and Captain Madara walked out of the terminal hall.
A man suddenly stopped Xiao Zhen and asked, "How much are your chickens?"
