Chapter 35
Pine Eggs
“Boohoo, my eggs! How can Mommy live without you guys?!”
In the farm, a woman in a researcher’s outfit hugged a gray egg as she cried her heart out.
Her eyelashes were long, and she had a round nose and cute lips. Her brown hair was curly and fluffy. She was adorable to begin with, and when she cried, she was even more so.
When her colleagues saw her acting like this, they began to feel at a loss.
After Liao Ning asked around, she found out that the girl’s name was Li Li, and she was a researcher in the farm’s ancient pastoral district. The egg in Li Li’s hand was rumored to be called a pine egg, one of the ancient delicacies on Earth. It was the result of Li Li’s three years of research.
This was originally her graduation research assignment. As long as she successfully sold a basket to the people on the farm, she would pass.
However, not only had her pine eggs never been sold, but they would also be accidentally destroyed every time.
Today was the deadline her mentor had given her. Now that the goods had been damaged by Zhu Fei, she could no longer maintain her usual gentle demeanor and had a mental breakdown.
“Senior Brother, do you know? I was afraid that it would be destroyed, so I specially prepared five baskets! Five baskets! Now, they’re all broken!”
Seeing that someone had come to comfort her, Li Li hugged the other party’s thigh as she cried.
“Calm down first.” Gao Yuan handed over a tissue helplessly.
Liao Ning saw that Gao Yuan was struggling not to smile. The man acted gentle, but deep down, he was probably overjoyed.
“Senior, please help me. I really don’t want to fail like this.” Li Li sobbed.
“I want to help you too, but what can I do? I’ll send you more samples when I get back.” Gao Yuan squatted down and comforted her.
“It’s too late.” Li Li said in despair, “I don’t have any other samples.”
“Senior, your food is the best. Just use the pine eggs to make a dish and sell it, okay?” Li Li begged.
Gao Yuan was amused. “Previously, I asked you to give me these eggs to cook, but you were unwilling to. Now that you need help, you’re thinking about me. If you want me to cook them now, I can’t guarantee that they’ll be delicious.”
“Boohoo, forget it. My eggs!” Li Li continued to cry.
Gao Yuan crossed his arms and shook his head helplessly.
At this moment, Liao Ning walked over and picked up one of the broken pine eggs. After she sized it up, she said, “You want to cook these eggs? I might be able to give it a try.”
“What?” Li Li stopped crying. “Will it be tasty?”
“That depends on your pine eggs,” Liao Ning said confidently.
Li Li quickly got up and wiped her tears as she said in a hoarse voice, “There’s definitely no problem with the pine eggs. They’ve been modified and tested! It’s just that they haven’t been sold yet.”
“Alright, watch me.” Liao Ning looked at the baskets of pine eggs. Some of them were cracked, but were still edible.
Gao Yuan raised his eyebrows when he saw this. If he had known earlier, he definitely would have cooked it. Now, the opportunity had been snatched by the woman in front of him.
Gao Yuan looked at Liao Ning and sighed. Then, he felt that Liao Ning looked familiar.
Wasn’t this the new streamer: My Child Is The Best!?
Gao Yuan was surprised.
Due to the rise of ancient food culture, as the main selling ground for food raw materials, the interstellar farm had its own staff kitchen.
After Liao Ning entered, she opened the shell and washed it.
She heated the knife with hot water before starting to cut it.
Seeing that Liao Ning was scalding the knife, Gao Yuan couldn’t help but smile. “What kind of technique is this? Can’t we just cut it directly?”
“I boiled it with boiling water so that the knife wouldn’t touch the egg liquid,” Liao Ning explained as she placed the sliced pine eggs on the plate.
“You plan to steam it?” Gao Yuan picked up the plate to help, but Liao Ning stopped him.
“No, it’ll be a cold dish,” Liao Ning said.
Gao Yuan froze. Could this thing really be eaten raw?
While he was feeling surprised, Liao Ning had already prepared the ingredients for the cold pine egg and drenched it.
A sour and spicy smell immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
Liao Ning asked the staff for another handful of coriander and sprinkled it on it.
Gao Yuan held the plate without moving until Liao Ning looked at him expectantly and said, “How about you try it?”
Gao Yuan was silent.
To be honest, he couldn’t bring himself to eat it. There were so many bacteria in this unfamiliar food.
Li Li didn’t mind and tasted a piece first.
Instantly, her eyes glazed and she froze on the spot.
