Chapter 105. Good Food (2)
Chapter 105. Good Food (2)
Lin Shiheng was opening the lid to observe the bubbling pot of soup when the closed door was suddenly forced open from the outside.
In the next moment, the alert and worried fcices of his two roommates appeared in front of him.
What's the matter?
In the eyes of the two roommates, the dark-haired, slim young man lowered the lid with some surprise. There was confusion on the handsome face that they had secretly called 'the extra ordinary looking pureblood.'
It seems that he had no idea of the terrible poisonous gas that had accumulated in these things, a gas that could have penetrated the shields they were wearing. and probably had already eaten away at the brain of their pitiful roommate.
The two looked at each other solemnly again, nodded their heads and, in perfect unison, stepped forward, covering their noses with one hand and pulling Lin Shiheng with the other, fleeing towards the door with a clear objective.
Ehhhhh
However, perhaps their understanding was only half perfect, and in their escape, one tried to move to the left and the other to the right, and managed to pull their 'pitiful roommate that was in danger, into a standstill.
The two roommates looked at each other again and continued to remedy the situation in silence.
This time, they were heacling in the direction chosen by the other.
Ahh!
As expected, the escape failed again.
Lin Shiheng looked at them as if they were at war. the bewilderment still on his face, Mo Wen, Lai Wei, what are you doing?
Shh! Dont breathe and clont talkl
Du Mowen pinched his nose and quickly said, cautiously and carefully, Do you know that you might have synthesized some kincl of poisonous gas? We've all been poisoned."
Yes, its clangerous here. Come out with us first and find a teacher to sort it out.
What gas? I think it's normal.
Lai Wei was a bit annoyed that his roommate was still asking questions at this time, but he patiently explained, It's the poisonous gas coming from this pot. Its making our mouths water and our stomachs growl when we sniff it.
Yes, we were reacting so badly out there, you might have been poisoned long ago. Let's go, lets run out first.
No need."
Lin Shiheng smiled and stood still, letting them tug and pull as much as they wanted.
The two roommates diclnt consider how Lin Shiheng, who looked very thin and weak. wasnt even moving when they pulled him. When they saw that he didnt want to go, they only thought he was poisoned, so they were anxiously pulling him to leave the room.
Hurry up and go. It feels like theres even more toxic gas in this room coming in, and I actually have an urge to eat something with this scent on it. It really does seem to produce all sorts of weircl reactions the longer you inhale it.
Hearing what Lai Wei said, Du Mowen immediately agreecl, Thats right, I feel so too!"
Okay, theres no need for you guys to be nervous."
Looking at the two anxious roommates, Lin Shiheng sat back down with a smile, It's not toxic gas, its just the gourmet aroma of ancient earth.
Aroma?"
The two didnt let their guard down yet, I've smelled the fragrance of ancient earth rhinoceros horn and its not like that at all."
Shiheng, are you hallucinating? Do you know who we are?"
Lin Shiheng nodded with a smile and lifted the lid again.
In fact, yesterclay I was only exposed to tattered memories, but last night I had received full memories of the ancient cultures cuisine. Blue Star had been wrong all along; the spices made from rhino horn were meant to be lit and smelled, not eaten.
With that, he stirrecl the bubbling soup with a spoon, bowed his head slightly and sniffed for a moment. A look of satisfaction appeared on his face, This is what ancient Earth calls a delicious scent.
Du Mowen and Lai Wei glanced suspiciously at the contents of the pot.
The mouth-watering scent was at the tip of their noses, their stomachs were still rumbling in protest, and their bodies were egging them on with a vengeance.
[Go ahead and try it. Get close to it. It's real food.]
But the wary duo resisted the urge to take a bite by sheer force of will, and instead cautiously began to analyze what ingredients had been used in the pot.
With this texture and purple bones, it should be a spottecl beast."
The little white balls look a lot like the fruit on the garden tree in front of our school.
This red one cant be the pepper of ancient Earth, can it? I remember it seems to be a weapon used by ancient Earth humans to repel fierce beasts, and in primary school in the laboratory class, the teacher had a demonstration with it. If it was sprayed into the eyes, it would hurt like fire.
And this one in green, also a weapon of ancient Earth. I think it's called an onion, and Ive heard that if you chop it up, your enemy will shed uncontrollable tears in weakness.
The dark-haired young man sat down, sprinkled some salt into it, stirrecl it a few times and then picked up a small wooclen bowl. He filled it with soup and blew on it a few times, waiting for it to change from boiling hot to slightly hot before taking a small sip.
Hmm, just the right amount of saltiness. Do you guys want to try?"
He looked up and was met by two shocked faces.
Shiheng! You... you drank it?"
Do you feel sick?? Does it hurt anywhere? Is your brain okay? Did the chip send out an alarm?
He had to say, it felt good to be cared about.
Lin Shiheng hooked the corners of his mouth and revealecl a smile, Dont worry, I'm fine.
Also, what you just said, about chopping them up would make you shed tears, arent onions. Their shallots."
The two Blue Star people didnt quite understand, "Shallots and onions?
They both sounded similar to them.
Its all edible. Ill tell you more about it later.
Lin Shiheng put down the small bowl, turnecl off the heat, found two more bowls and started to fill them.
I thought it would take an hour with washing the vegetables and all that, but I didnt expect the blue fire to work so well. Here, try it, an ancient Earth delicacy, beef brisket with potatoes."
No, no, no 111 I think wed better test for poison first. In case its poisonous, then would be overl
Lin Shiheng pretended not to hear his roommates' refusal, but buried his head and went back to work. He served the beef and potatoes first, then used a spoon to scoop up the soup that had also been mellowed down by the soft potatoes in the stew, and drizzled it steadily into the bowls with his hands.
Its soup, but its actually thick sauce that blended the meatiness of the brisket with the sweetness and softness of the potatoes, with a light golden color. When drizzled down, the soup flowed slowly down the potatoes and meat that were already placed in them, giving another layer of color to the already oily layer.
Because they had just been served up, the white mist that rose with the boiling heat slowly emerged. They didnt just rise up on their own. They would follow the aroma and smoothly floated in front of everyone.
-Gulp!
-Gulp!
The two roommates who were still saying no no nos both unknowingly shut their mouths, sniffed the scent and gulped.
It really smelled good. Would it be like rhino incense, which smells great and smells good, but tastes awful in your mouth?
Dont worry, no poison."
I havent found a substitute for rice in the memory yet, so lets make do with this dish first.
Given that the Blue Star people had never used chopsticks before, Lin Shiheng took out two small spoons and placed them in the bowl, looking at the two roommates with a gentle smile.
Actually, this dish works better if you make it in a clay pot, but when I went out looking for one and coulclnt find one. The potatoes went well, in the memory it was supposed to grow in the soil, I dont know why it turned into an ornamental plant growing on trees nowadays. The ancient Earths cows were our Blue Star's spotted beasts, luckily they were also being used in Kung Pao Chicken and I didnt have to go looking for them all over the place.
Lai Wei covered his gurgling stomach and looked serious, I still think it's composed of some kind of poisonous gas, otherwise we wouldnt have such a violent reaction, especially with the adclition of an ancient Earth weapon like chilies in it. How can you put weapons into food? No, ask Mo Wen, he was once attacked with chili when he was a child... Mo Wen???
Du Mowen popped a small, round, golden brown potato into his mouth, chewed it a few times and was immediately surprised.
Mm-hmmll! Its so good!!! Its so delicious!!!
He didnt blow on it, and clirectly ate it. Now, while being scalded and unable to control his mouth opening wide, he quickly reached out with his spoon to scoop up a piece of brisket as if he was grabbing it from someone, and without the slightest hesitation, the piece of brisket just went into his mouth.
Mm-hmm!!!"
Du Mowen kept noclding his head, his mouth kept eating, and he was reluctant to speak. His eyes were full of enjoyment and appreciation.
Lai Wei, who was still holding his ground, almost died of anger at the guy, You stupicl fool! We agreed to persuade Shiheng togetherl!
This kind of situation where his teammate turned against him before he could even begin to persuade the other party, simply made him want to spit out blood.
No, no!l
Du Mowen swallowecl the food in his mouth, reluctantly tasted the delicious flavor left in his mouth, and urgently said, Its really delicious!! Im telling you ..."
You ate it just because it was delicious?! You know its too late to regret in case something happens!
Lai Wei's heart ached with anger. Before he could properly lecture Du Mowen, he heard Lin Shiheng, who was standing by, speak, Lai Wei, cant you feel your psychic power loosening up?"
He was stunned. He had been on guard since he caught the aroma, and hadnt noticed anything wrong with his mental power. After being reminded of that, he subconsciously felt it, and realized that his psychic power, which used to be vaguely irritable even after drinking the healing nutrient, was now gradually calming down.
Du Mowen hastily ate another piece of potato while he was feeling his psychic power, and explained in a slurred tone, I just felt my psychic power soothe after smelling the aroma before I ate it, and after eating it, my psychic power did calm down. In the past, even drinking twenty bottles of healing nutrients couldnt achieve such an effect!
Lai Wei then remembered that Shiheng, his best friend who had no psychic powers, had also just awakened them.
He must have sensed that the dish was effective in relieving psychic powers before and thats why he made them eat it.
Its just that previously, he was so focusecl on getting the guy out that, he didnt even listen to his explanation.
Cough."
Realizing that he had made a mistake, Lai Wei coughed awkwardly and didnt have the heart to blame his best friend who had shared his mentally soothing ancient earth cuisine with them, but instead, angrily glared at Du Mowen.
Cant you just tell me? Whats the use of saying its delicious!"
Du Mowens mouth kept chewing, But its really delicious ... This thing called potato seems to melt in my mouth on its own, soft and chewy, and this beef brisket, its springy and chewy! Ooh ooh ooh ... I feel really happy eating this!"
Lai Wei simply couldnt look at him like this, and rolled his eyes several times in disgust. While extending his spoon to take a piece of beef brisket, he coldly said, Can you not always put on such an unsightly look. Even if its as delicious as ...
The brisket was brought to his mouth.
The fragrant flavor didnt hinder the sensation of the food in his mouth itself. As he chewed twice without any guidance, a touch of various nuances and slightly spicy flavors exploded throughout his mouth.
Hmmm..."
Forgetting what he was saying before, Lai Wei let out an involuntary sigh. He chewed the food in his mouth quickly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and quickly scooped up a small golden potato with the soup with his spoon.
As the spoon was lifted, the bottom of the spoon separated from the bowl and the slightly sticky, yellowish broth seemecl to adhere to the bottom as if it was reluctant, slowly but fluidly rolling slightly as it was lifted, using its body to give off its scent.
Lai Wei spooned the whole golden baby potato into his mouth along with the sauce.
Hmm...
He sighed contentedly, while chewing the food in his mouth. He felt the relaxation and relief in his psychic powers that he had never felt before.
The food gene from earths China surged through his body, and the enjoyment that came from the food easily overpowered the otherwise restless psychic power.
Lai Wei's entire body relaxed and he slurred out a heartfelt sentiment that came from the bottom of his heart.
Really... so good...
