Chapter 70: Water Monster Tasting Live- (Part 1)
It was already two days later when He Yunyi arrived on planet 19, and besides himself, he also brought two assistants with him. He Yunchen personally drove to pick him up with Ruan Tang.
"Water monster, where is the water monster you mentioned?" He Yunyi couldn't wait to ask as soon as he got in the car.
Those water monsters that people on planet 19 have turned pale have become synonymous with delicious ingredients in He Yunyi's heart, and they are waiting to be tested and confirmed to be non-toxic before making them into delicious dishes!
This unprecedented torrential rain lasted for a whole day and night. Although the rain has stopped now, there is still water in many places. The local garrison is carrying water pumping equipment to drive away the water monsters.
"That's the water monster." Ruan Tang pointed to a water monster crab jumping out of the stagnant water below.
"Oh! Such a big one!" He Yunyi's eyes lit up immediately, the food made by such a big water monster must be full.
"These water monsters usually live in the sea. This heavy rain made them enter the city with the backflow of water. They are very aggressive and fecund. Almost all the waters of Planet 19 have been occupied by them. If it is controlled, it will soon pose a threat to the residents of Planet 19. But once these water monsters are confirmed to be edible and safe ingredients, these difficulties will be solved." Ruan Tang has seen those who claim to have amazing fecundity and the crayfish, which are extremely harmful to the ecological environment, were forcibly eaten to the brink of extinction, and they could only rely on artificial breeding. Therefore, if these water monsters can really be eaten, it will be much easier to solve, and it can also give This backward planet Nineteen brings new business opportunities.
"Okay, let's test it now!" He Yunyi couldn't wait any longer.
Ruan Tang glanced at He Yunchen. He Yunchen obviously knew something about his brother's impatient nature, so he nodded slightly, and drove the speeding car towards the beach.
Parked the flying car in a relatively high mountain, and everyone got out of the car together. With the help of two assistants, He Yunyi assembled the testing equipment he brought. He Yunchen put on a set of protective clothing, which allowed him to move freely in the water and resist the attacks of water monsters. His weapon is still the light blade dagger, which has been recharged and is as sharp as ever.
"I'm going."
As soon as He Yunchen walked to the beach, a black shadow in the water began to move, and when his feet just stepped into the water, a huge and ugly monster crab jumped out, waving its pair of hands. The sharp pincers aimed at He Yunchen's direction and launched an attack.
He Yunchen dodged it calmly, swiped the light blade dagger, and chopped off the crab's claws and eight legs, and then came back with the spoils.
He Yunyi had been waiting for a long time, and immediately carried out a detailed examination of the dismembered water monster. Every organ was inspected, and even the thick hard shell was peeled off, from the inside to the inside. There was nothing missing, the water monster crab could only make weaker and weaker whining, it was weak, pitiful and helpless. He Yunyi even asked He Yunchen to extract some water quality samples for testing, and no problems were found. Not only that, the water quality was even quite good, containing a lot of trace elements.
"No toxins were found, nor any harmful substances. This water monster should be edible, so I don't know how to eat it?" He Yunyi judged that this water monster is edible, but the shell of this water monster is too hard. And after peeling it off, the structure inside is also very complicated, and it would be too much effort to eat the meat inside.
"Leave this to me to worry about. Brother He, you just wait to eat." Ruan Tang has already started to figure out how to cook these water monster crabs in his mind, such as fried crabs, steamed crabs, crab casserole porridge, and curry crabs, spicy crab... just thinking about it makes people drool.
"That's all right, I'll just wait for a real treat!" Any ingredients in Ruan Tang's hands can be turned into delicious food. At this moment, He Yunyi also has a kind of expectation for this unattractive water monster.
"When I went to collect water samples just now, I seemed to see other water monsters in the water. Do you want to catch them too?" He Yunchen asked.
"Of course!" Ruan Tang became interested when he heard the words. Since there will be mutated king crabs here, will there be other seafood?
He Yunchen went to the seaside again, this time his whole body was in the water, and after a while, he brought back a long crimson water monster, its body was also covered by a hard shell, with five Pair of thoracic feet and a pair of particularly large claws.
When Ruan Tang saw this water monster, his eyes widened. Isn't this a lobster? It was even bigger than the Australian lobster he had eaten in his previous life!
A series of menus suddenly popped up in his mind, baked lobster with herbs, baked lobster with cheese, steamed lobster with garlic, grilled lobster with butter... He Yunchen gave the lobster to He Yunyi for testing, and then went into the sea again, this time he goes deeper.
Seeing that five minutes had passed and He Yunchen hadn't come out yet, Ruan Tang couldn't help showing anxiety, "Brother He, why hasn't Brother Chen come out yet? Is something wrong?"
"What could happen to him? Don't worry, He is wearing protective clothing, even if he stays underwater for two hours, he will be fine." He Yunyi replied without raising his head, focusing on the inspection work at hand.
Ruan Tang was a little relieved now, but his eyes were still fixed on the direction of the sea.
After another ten minutes, some movement finally appeared on the sea surface. Huge waves rolled over. The movement was so loud that it seemed like a tsunami was about to be generated, which shocked Ruan Tang and the others who were on land. Finally, after the water surface calmed down, He Yunchen got out of the water, dragging a limp unknown object in his hand, and when he slowly walked ashore, Ruan Tang realized that it turned out to be a huge octopus!
"Oh my God! This water monster looks too ugly! How can this be eaten?" He Yunyi immediately showed a disgusted expression when he saw the appearance of the huge water monster.
This water monster octopus is dark purple, and the color looks very strange. The huge head and several thick and long tentacles are covered with small bumps. There are two rows of suction cups on the inside of the arms and feet, which is so ugly. He really couldn't connect this kind of thing with food.
"This should be edible." Although Ruan Tang was shocked by the giant octopus, he still had to admit that although it looked ugly, it was indeed edible.
"This, this thing can also be eaten?" He Yunyi looked at Ruan Tang with a strange expression, feeling hairy in his heart, he couldn't imagine what delicious food this ugly monster could make, just looking at it like this, It has already made people lose their appetite.
"Yes!" Not only edible, but also delicious.
Ruan Tang's mind began to come up with various ways of making octopus—stir-fried octopus, fried octopus with sauce, octopus balls, braised octopus, Korean-style spicy octopus... I really don't blame him, it's all from the earth's delicacies from the previous life.
Later, they found a large number of shellfish such as scallops and oysters in the underwater stone layer, and they were all quite large. These creatures were not aggressive, and they were all edible and safe ingredients!
Ruan Tang was very happy. The ocean on Planet 19 is simply an endless treasure house. There are so many marine creatures living here that it saves the effort of the Academy of Sciences to restore them.
They harvested a lot of ingredients and filled the entire flying car to the brim, and the big octopus was even tied to the roof of the car.
The crowd returned to the villa area where Ruan Tang rented in mighty force, because the cars were full of "water monsters", and the army next to them almost thought that the water monsters had robbed the car and came to attack the human world. The stagnant water here has been drained, and the water monsters have retreated from here, so the residents here have also returned. The huge octopus tied to their car roofs immediately attracted the tension of the neighbors. After seeing clearly that the water monsters are gone After the threat, he dared to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Oh my god! The giant water monster! They actually brought the giant water monster back!"
"Isn't it fatal?"
"No, it seems that the car stopped at Mr. Ruan's house..."
"Why did Mr. Ruan catch the water monster? "
"I don't know...how about we go and have a look?"
Ruan Tang and the others have lived here for a few days. Every day when it's time for meals, there will be all kinds of attractive fragrances floating everywhere. The neighbors who live near their house naturally noticed it and came to set up a few times. The second time is close, so they also know a little about Ruan Tang, knowing that Ruan Tang is a gourmet anchor and has very good cooking skills.
A neighbor came over and asked from a distance: "Mr. Ruan, are you...?
"This is the president of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, He Yun Yi, who came to the 19th planet for safety testing. These monsters have been identified as edible and safe ingredients." The fact that these water monsters were identified as edible wasn't confidential, so he told them directly.
"What? Safe ingredients?"
"Academy of Science?"
"Really?"
Hearing this word, everyone wondered if they had heard it wrong. Several soldiers couldn't help casting their gazes over.
This is a water monster that has plagued them for countless generations. I don't know how much trouble it has brought them, and it has a bad reputation, making the No. 19 star people quite afraid of them.
And now, Ruan Tang said... They could be eaten?
How could such an ugly and fierce thing be edible! They might be poisonous! Maybe they'll wreak havoc in their bellies! Or... this is simply the way they want to parasitize humans!
For a moment, everyone couldn't help but took two steps back, their eyes were wary—these water monsters have such terrifying scheming!
Seeing everyone's distrust, Ruan Tang couldn't help laughing, and they would know if the food was delicious when it was made, "I will cook these water monsters in the yard later, if you are interested, you can come and watch."
The water monster is too big to be used in the kitchen, so he plans to set up a simple stove in the yard of the villa for cooking, and live broadcast by the way, so that more people can know that these water monsters are edible Ingredients, reverse their impression of water monsters.
Before He Yunyi came, Ruan Tang specially asked him to make some special large kitchen utensils, and they had to be extremely hard, so as not to cut the bodies of these mutated shrimps and crabs. He took an inventory of everything, then logged on to Starnet, and bought the necessary side dishes and seasonings from the shopping mall.
The express delivery was still as fast as ever. After receiving the express delivery, the He brothers helped Ruan Tang build a simple stove in the yard. The residents of Planet Nineteen still surrounded them from a distance, not daring to get too close, just watching their movements, and couldn't help but mutter in their hearts: With this posture, can water monsters really be eaten?
Thinking about how many wounds they had been scratched by water monsters, the people on Planet Nineteen felt their ankles ache.
This is too scary! These water monsters must not be eaten! Even if it can be eaten, the taste must be unpalatable!
It must be so!
After getting ready, Ruan Tang started the live broadcast.
"Hello everyone, I'm the host Ruan Tang, and today I'm going to bring you spicy crab, baked lobster with cheese, scallops with garlic, grilled oysters, and fried octopus in sauce.
"Ah, anchor, you are finally on the air! Wait until all my flowers are gone! I heard that there was a heavy rain on planet 19, how are you, anchor?]
[Bo Liang Aunt: Yes, yes! Planet Nineteen heard that there are many dangerous water monsters! Broadcasters be careful!]
[Baomu can't hold it: what? Is this a new ingredient? ]
[Starchaser YOGA: Oh my god! There are so many dishes?]
"That's right, it's a new ingredient." Ruan Tang showed a mysterious smile, "Then next, let's make spicy crab first."
