Chapter 12. A Beautiful (Simple) Delicious (Ugly) Meal
The little bun squatted down, and poked the bright red tomato with his tender white fingers, which made his fair little face blush, not to mention how cute he looked.
Turning around, he blinked his clear blue eyes and asked Chu Yu, "Mom, is this safe to eat now ?
"
The expectant eyes of Xiao Baozi and the other two... everything was worth it.
What's more, after working so hard for so long, she herself is a little greedy.
So, Chu Yu guided the little bun to pick the biggest tomatoes, and asked Chu Xiyue to pick cucumbers, and Ji Lin was assigned to pick the best growing lettuce.
Chu Yu waved his hand and said proudly, "Go, I'll cook something delicious for you!"
The little bun cheered, and Chu Yu patted his head rewardingly, very satisfied.
The family returned home with a full load.
Beside the newly built sink, Chu Xiyue watched Chu Yu wash all the dishes, and asked, "Ayu, how do I do these things?
" When people in the future taste Chinese food, "Just look at it!"
But when Chu Yu put the washed cucumber on the cutting board (made by Ji Lin), and was about to take a picture of it with a kitchen knife (produced by the same Ji Lin) , the whole person suddenly stopped.
The three pairs of eyes next to her were serious, and Chu Xiyue was the first to ask, "Ayu, what's wrong?" "
..."
Chu Yu burped!
Can she say that she was about to make an appetizing cucumber shoot, only to suddenly realize that this time and space are not full of condiments? The necessary soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil... here, none of them!
"It's nothing, I suddenly thought that this dish can be eaten raw." Chu Yu forced himself to respect himself, and gave them a piece of cucumber for each person, "I grew it myself, no pesticides, absolutely green food!"
During the days of growing vegetables, Chu Yu had already described the names and appearance of these vegetables to several people.
The cucumber has not been cut open, but there is still a faint fragrance, which is unprecedented in the nutrient solution. It makes people feel better physically and mentally after smelling it. Xiao Baozi and Chu Xiyue are quickly fascinated by the things in their hands, but Ji Lin But not so easy to fool.
He looked at the things, "Cousin, you didn't seem to say that just now."
Chu Yu was a little guilty at first, but thinking that she has all the raw materials now, she has bid farewell to the past, especially if Ji Lin wants to have a good meal in the future. I have to beg her, so I opened my stomach and said.
"Eat yours! That green cucumber can't stop your mouth."
After finishing speaking, Chu Yu turned her head and continued to look for her own use...and saw the tomato next to it...
Ji Lin got it Tomato seeds are the big ones, commonly known as tomatoes. They are usually good choices for making tomato scrambled eggs or candied tomatoes, but now, there are no eggs...and no sugar...Chu Yu felt his unhealed heart hit
again an arrow.
She took a deep breath and shared the tomato with the three of them, "This can also be eaten raw, just like the cucumber, it can be eaten together with the skin."
After finishing this, she sent away the three who wanted to watch her cooking skills In the living room, "You guys go out to eat, the smell of cooking oil is strong, don't stay here." As soon as the
automatic door closed, Chu Yu immediately covered his face.
Ah, to feed them raw ingredients...
She is guilty! She doesn't deserve to be called a chef at all!
No, no, don't deny yourself so early, and look at other things...
Chu Yu skipped cucumbers and tomatoes, and saw the survivor among the three ingredients - lettuce - which can also be caught in the hand in modern times In a patty or burger... raw.
The heart that was already riddled with holes was hit hard again, and the whole person was on the verge of falling and could not hold on anymore.
In order to give herself some delicious food in Interstellar, she also planted land and made kitchen utensils by herself, but... in the end, she was defeated by condiments.
Why is it so difficult to have a good meal?
Chu Yu indifferently logged on to Xingwang, asked Zhinao to make a virtual sandbag for her, punched and kicked her for a while, and finally came out after venting her psychological depression.
Can't be angry, can't be angry, and there is no one to replace when the anger comes out.
The family is still waiting for her to cook, which is all boasting.
Chu Yu finally calmed down, thinking about the only condiment she had -
cooking oil.
She asked Ji Lin to ripen the first batch of rapeseed in advance, and built a special automatic oil extraction machine, which managed to produce ten liters, and finally upgraded the cooking method from the oldest boiled to stir-fried.
It's not easy, it's all tears.
Salt.
There is no such thing as salt.
This is after she briefly described the way of drying salt, Ji Lin tried every means to find a planet with salt water all over, and used high technology to create the first batch of salt.
Combining the three raw materials on the table, Chu Yu decided on today's menu.
Pickled cucumbers, tomato soup, and garlic lettuce—thank goodness she came in with garlic in the seeds!
Considering the easy oxidation of lettuce, Chu Yu decided to put it at the end.
The pot, stove, and range hood were installed early in the morning. Ji Lin got her a new fuel. Chu Yu tried it. The fire was orange, not blue. And this kind of fire is very strong, and the pot made by Ji Lin also has good thermal conductivity, and the pot heats up very quickly.
It's more like the high-fire stove used in modern restaurants, but the things made are more delicious.
Chu Yu took four tomatoes, quickly cut them into chunks, and then set the pot on fire. She always adheres to the principle of hot pot and cold oil in cooking. After five seconds, the pot will be 70% hot, and then pour in a little rapeseed oil. Shake the pan, add a little cold oil, and then put the chopped tomatoes into the pan.
Zizizi—
the surface of the tomato came into contact with the oil, and immediately there was a sour-sweet smell. Chu Yu regretted that there was no sugar to enhance the freshness, and quickly stir-fried. After a while, the bright red tomato juice overflowed and filled the entire nose.
After nearly half of the tomatoes are fried into juice, quickly add water, wait for the sweet and sour tomatoes to melt into the water, turn off the heat when the water boils again, add half a teaspoon of salt to taste, and serve on a plate.
As for Cui Lulu's chopped green onions...sorry, she doesn't have any.
Chu Yu put the pot into the sink, and there would naturally be a housekeeping robot to help clean it, and she took five more cucumbers (the cucumbers and tomatoes are still very small), put them on the clean cutting board and slapped them, and packed them all in one go. In a large bowl, put half a teaspoon of salt, turn it upside down, and wait for the salt to marinate some of the water in the cucumber.
The cucumbers produced in this way will taste better.
Finally, there is garlic lettuce. Chu Yu patted three cloves of small garlic sprouts again. This time, he heated the pan and oil, poured the garlic sprouts in immediately, and waited for the fragrance to overflow, then turned on the fire and put the lettuce in. Stir fry a few times, then add a little salt and quickly remove the lettuce.
This dish is fresh and tender. When cooking, it is a test to control the heat and do not add water.
Chu Yu knew it was going to be bad when he saw the color - this dish was over-fried.
This is the first time she has used the new equipment Ji Lin gave her to cook. In the past, I used a family natural gas stove in modern times. The fire control of new energy is not good, and there is no sugar and monosodium glutamate to enhance the freshness. , making the dish smell far less good than Chu Yu remembered.
well.
Interstellar Chef... has a long way to go.
The finishing work was handed over to the robot. Chu Yu poured out the water in the pickled cucumbers, and went out with another robot carrying three dishes, "Dinner is ready!"
Ceng Ceng Ceng Ceng Ceng Ceng -
Three figures rushed over quickly, even the smallest child Chu Jiayang ran very fast.
When the three came over, they still didn't forget to bring the raw fruits and vegetables that Chu Yu gave them.
Chu Yu: "..."
Is it just that delicious?
Or is the interstellar cultivation technique unusual? Speaking of which, the lettuce grown with my cousin's improvement solution is indeed a bit bigger than the modern ones...there is still left in the kitchen, she will eat one later?
Just as he was thinking, several people were seated.
There are only four people in the family, and Chu Yu made a custom-made Eight Immortals table, which happened to be one side for each person, and the robot on it had already helped to arrange four sets of tableware. Considering that the use of chopsticks requires practice, Chu Yu even prepared knives, forks and spoons.
Chu Yu chose the chopsticks herself, Xiao Baozi followed her mother in everything, and the rest of Ji Lin and Chu Xiyue also picked up the chopsticks.
Chu Yu: "..."
Is it unnecessary?
Hmph, don't regret it later!
Chu Yu thought gloatingly.
The vegetables themselves have a fragrance, but after a special spray, the fragrance becomes more intense, bombarding people's sense of smell every minute!
This is nothing to Chu Yu, who has tasted delicious food for five thousand years, but in this time and space that only relies on nutrient solution to live, this is definitely the ultimate delicious food. Bewitched, but the three of them The youngest Xiao Baozi was the same, he was very patient and didn't rush to start.
Chu Yu blinked suspiciously, and greeted them, "You're welcome, eat."
"Mom has worked hard on cooking, so let's eat first," Xiao Baozi said.
"GaoGao is right." Chu Xiyue agreed.
Although Ji Lin didn't speak, the expression clearly conveyed the same meaning.
Chu Yu wanted to laugh a little, but was also a little touched, so he had to put a piece of pickled cucumber in his hands first. After witnessing her take a bite, the three of them finally started to move.
I don't know if it's because of these people's extraordinary talents. Chu Yu thought it would be difficult to use the chopsticks, but Ji Yan immediately got started and picked up one piece. After three failed chopsticks, Xiao Baozi finally picked up a piece of lettuce.
Could this be the hidden ability of race?
Waiting for the food to enter, the movements of the three of them paused, as if they couldn't believe the delicacy jumping on the taste buds, and then the speed of moving the chopsticks was obviously faster, even Ji Lin's expression remained unchanged, and there was always a hint of dark light.
The cold dishes and soup were quickly wiped out, and when the last piece of lettuce was left, the three of them were obviously proficient in using chopsticks, and they grew bigger in the bowl back and forth.
"I'm the oldest, you have to respect the elders!"
"Mom, you still need to lose weight, eat less."
"GaoGao, GaoGao is still growing."
Chu Yu: ... dumbfounded.JPG
Wonderful!
Just when she couldn't help waving the flag and shouting, the three of them looked at her in unison, and Chu Yu said with a strong desire to survive, "Don't look at me, I don't know anything, you rock paper scissors!
" The little bun pursed his lips and said, "For mom, mom cooks very hard, and... Mom eats the least."
He was too immersed in the delicious food just now, he should have noticed it earlier.
upset.
Chu Yu quickly said, "No need, you can eat."
Chu Xiyue and Ji Lin also meant the same.
Chu Xiyue said, "Ayu, did we move too fast... Did you scare you? I'm really sorry, but the food you cooked was so delicious that I accidentally forgot about you." "Cousin."
Ji Lin raised his chin, "Here you are."
Chu Yu: "..."
She really doesn't want to eat this last bite of "leftovers".
But this happened to represent the kindness of the three of them. Chu Yu had a headache, rubbed his head, and sighed, "I'm really full..." Seeing the three people's obviously disbelieving eyes, Chu Yu could only continue to lie "Ah, actually, I just ate in it."
Now, Chu Yu was condemned by strong eyes.
——You actually cheated!
Fortunately, they didn't want to leave her any more. In the end, Xiao Baozi, who was "growing up" and occupied the status of "the chef's own son", won a big victory.
Chu Yu looked at the clean plate that could almost reflect human faces, feeling a little skeptical about life, she tentatively asked, "Do you really think the food is delicious?" "It's delicious!" They all said in unison
.
Ji Yan was obviously more thoughtful than those two, so he turned the corner and asked, "You think it's okay?" "
Well..." Chu Yu counted on his fingers, "Now the seasoning in my hand is only oil and salt. The most simple stir-fry is very limited in improving the ingredients. Take this pickled cucumber as an example. If soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, etc. can be added, the refreshing taste can be stimulated to the extreme... and we All I eat now are vegetables and meat..."
Speaking of this, Chu Yu herself became greedy, "That is the real delicacy."
Chu Xiyue: "Can this be even more delicious!?"
Although she didn't understand What exactly were the seasonings and "meat" that Chu Yu mentioned, but just listening to the description made my mouth water.
"Rinling!!" Chu Xiyue.
"Uncle!!" Little Baozi.
They all remember how all this came about today!
Chu Yu blinked, followed the pace of the two, looked at Ji Lin with expectant eyes, and called out "affectionately".
"cousin!!"
After "satisfied with wine and food", Ji Lin leaned on the back of the chair, half-closed her beautiful peach eyes, lazily like a big cat, and opened them slowly after hearing the sound.
"I heard it. I will help you find it. After all, I really want to taste what the legendary "meat" with enough seasoning tastes like, but..."
Ji Lin's lips hooked slightly, and his eyes narrowed into a slit again. It seems comfortable and loose, but in the depths it is sharp and green.
"I'd also like to know—cousin, where did you get so much knowledge about cooking?"
