As soon as Zhong Wen said this, Lan Lian’s face instantly stiffened!
… So it was all thanks to Ning Yiyuan that she was able to escape?
“Aiya, you don’t have to thank us for such a small matter. “Zhong Wen smiled and waved his hand at her. Although this person looked calm and refined on the surface, if he was really serious, he would be able to catch her off guard!
This simple sentence almost made Lan Lian vomit a mouthful of blood!
Seeing Lan Lian’s expression, the smile on Zhong Wen’s lips deepened. “Okay, you’ve played enough. Shouldn’t you go back like a good girl?” As he said this, Zhong Wen suddenly raised his eyebrows and his aura suddenly changed. “Or… Do you need our help?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the few experts surrounding Lan Lian took a step forward. Their eyes were deep, and their intimidating posture could not be any clearer!
Lan Lian had no way to escape this situation.
Thus, the suspect who had escaped from the prison less than 20 minutes ago was once again sent in.
It was also because of this commotion that the number of people guarding Lan Lian rapidly increased by twofold. From the looks of it, even a fly would not be able to get in. and the staff who were originally a bit careless also became cautious. If they could still let this girl escape, then they might really have to commit seppuku at any moment!
This was also one of the reasons why Ning Yiyuan made a move.
Hmph! This woman injured Little Chu and still wanted to escape? She must be daydreaming!
Looking at Lan Lian who was tightly surrounded not far away, Zhong Wen waved his hand behind him and said softly, “Go up and follow her. Make sure that she reaches the court safely!”
As soon as he said that, the experts behind Zhong Wen nodded silently. With a few leaps, they quickly disappeared.
Under such a heavy encirclement, no matter how powerful Wisdom Cloud Galaxy’s people were, they would not be able to get in!
Thinking of this, Zhong Wen could not help but chuckle in satisfaction. Then, he turned around secretly and prepared to go back and claim his reward!
…
In the past few days, Mo Chu’s body had almost recovered. She was in high spirits and his small face was flushed red!
Even Ning Yiyuan and Mo Yang’s expressions were much more relaxed.
Mo Chu originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to go out for a few rounds. However, due to the complicated situation at the moment and the joint opposition of Ning Yiyuan and Mo Yang, she was still detained in the hotel room in the end.
With nothing better to do, Mo Chu could only fiddle with the magical beasts and magical plants that Zhong Wen had collected previously.
This time, she was so happy that she ruined the group of foodie — Roundy and Xie Chunxi!
In just a few days, the few of them had become Mo Chu’s diehard fans. The moment that they looked forward to the most every day had become their meal times.
Of course, what soared along with it was their usual stable weight. Their waistline had expanded many times. On the other hand, Roundy had always been chubby, so there was not much difference. Occasionally, this little guy would look at them arrogantly. Look at you bunch of fatties. How are you even half as handsome as me? Hmph!
However, even this could not suppress their surging enthusiasm. Every day, they would still arrive at Mo Chu’s room punctually, waiting for the food to be fed!
Just as Zhong Wen approached the door, he smelled a faint fragrance and his spirit jolted!
As the saying goes, ‘it’s better to arrive at the right time’. That was him!
Look at how accurate the timing was!
Zhong Wen’s heart was filled with joy as he pushed the door open and entered.
The first thing that entered his ears was the sizzling sound of frying. Coupled with the strong fragrance, it immediately made him look forward to it.
When his gaze swept to the side, he happened to see Xie Chunxi, who was eagerly waiting for him.
This fellow had almost become a regular customer here. Every time it was meal time, he would definitely come and report on time. He did not miss a single time.
Obviously, this was another foodie who worshipped Mo Chu’s God-level culinary skills!
On the other hand, Roundy, who was sitting by the side, was very serious. It glanced at them with a slightly disdainful look. Tsk! This made you guys so greedy? Back then, Little Chu fed me all kinds of delicacies!
Roundy, who had a special say in delicacies, had its eyes lit up. It even subconsciously puffed out its small belly to maintain its arrogant attitude!
Little did it know that her appearance would only make people think that it was even funnier!
Holding back the smile on his face, Zhong Wen glanced at the kitchen.
Previously, Ning Yiyuan had only mentioned it lightly. In less than two hours, the original personal lounge had been turned into a kitchen.
Then… The two of them began to brazenly abuse the chef in the kitchen!
Tell me, it was just some cooking, right?
Their Boss did not know how to cook, so he eagerly went up to help her. From time to time, he would pass her a plate and bring her a glass of water. His attentiveness almost blinded their eyes!
Of course, putting this aside, the scene of the two of them standing side by side was exceptionally beautiful.
“Do you want salt?” In the kitchen, Ning Yiyuan was standing on the far right, leaving as much space as possible for Mo Chu. His hand was long. With just a slight stretch, he would be able to accurately and quickly find what Mo Chu needed.
“Yes.” Mo Chu nodded. Her hand skillfully pinched off the hard branches of the toona sprouts and washed them clean. When Ning Yiyuan handed over the salt pot, she scooped up a little and placed it in the boiling water. Then, she placed the prepared toona sprouts into the pot.
When Mo Chu was done with his work, Ning Yiyuan immediately took the salt pot away and placed it back in its original position. With these smooth actions, it really showed the tacit understanding between them! It was as if they only needed to make eye contact to understand each other’s intentions.
What Mo Chu was making now was the toona omelet.
This was a very simple dish, but the taste was rare and delicious.
ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ꜰʀᴇᴇᴡᴇʙɴ(ᴏ)ᴠᴇʟ.ᴄoᴍ ᴏɴʟʏ.
However, the Federation did not have the toona sprout as an ingredient. Instead, there were large patches of it in the Mo Sea Galaxy. If she did not take some and make a good meal, she would be letting herself down!
Mo Chu’s hand speed was very fast. When the water in the pot was slightly boiling, she immediately scooped out the toona sprout.
If it was boiled for too long, the fresh taste of the toona sprout would be ruined.
After it was cooled, she cut it into 5-6 milimeter pieces. Ning Yiyuan handed over a bowl at the right time. Mo Chu smiled faintly and put the cut toona sprouts into it. Then, she took out a few eggs from the terminal and beat them in.
She added a little salt, mixed them together, and stirred them evenly.
Then, she opened the fire and put in the oil. When the oil was 50-60% hot, she slowly poured in the toona sprouts and egg liquid.
Once it was dipped in oil, the egg yolk quickly turned into a solid state and gave off a unique fragrance.
Mo Chu switched to frying over medium heat and flipped it over in time. When both sides turned yellow and crisp, she poured a little sesame oil on top. This finishing stroke immediately made the fragrance even stronger.
Finally, Mo Chu cut the knife into a few more portions and the toona egg yolk cake done perfectly.
Mo Chu was cooking very happily in the kitchen, but the people around her could not help but sigh in admiration!
Especially Xie Chunxi, whose eyes were shockingly bright, almost comparable to Roundy beside him! Although this was not the first time he had seen Mo Chu Cook, he was still amazed by this girl’s craftsmanship!
This toona sprout, which was also the branch of the ‘Stinky Tree’ that they usually called, could be seen almost everywhere in Dark Ocean Galaxy’s Magical Region. However, there was no energy in it at all. Normally, even if it fell to the ground, no one would bother to take a glance at them.
In the end, when they were in Mo Chu’s hands, they turned into good things!
This girl really had a pair of hands that could turn the rotten into magic!
Thinking of this, Xie Chunxi could not help but cast his gaze on Mo Chu’s delicate hands. They were as white as jade, and there were even a few small pits on the back of her hands. They were really cute!
Suddenly, Ning Yiyuan turned sideways to block Xie Chunxi’s line of sight. Hmph! You want to look at my wife? Dream on!
Damn!
Staring at Ning Yiyuan’s back, Xie Chunxi could not help but curse in his heart. Does this person have eyes on his back? You can detect it without turning around? Pervert!
However, Xie Chunxi’s attention quickly shifted to the toona omelette that was already on the plate. Look at the color and lustre. It looks like a delicacy! Recalling the delicacy that he had tasted before, Xie chunxi instantly felt his saliva flowing.
“Cough Cough!” In the end, he was unexpectedly stuffed with dog food and almost choked on his own saliva!
These two people, they were going overboard…
“Come, you try it first.” Ignoring the burning gaze behind him, Ning Yiyuan calmly washed his hands, took an omelette, and lightly blew on it twice. Only when it was not so hot did he feed it to Mo Chu’s mouth. It could not be any more considerate!
Mo Chu did not hesitate and took a big bite with a smile.
This toona omelette had an indescribable fragrance. Those who liked would love it, but those who did not like it would find it difficult to get used to the taste. However, Mo Chu was undoubtedly the former.
The ingredients used to make the toona omelette this time were very simple. She just added a little salt. The technique was not complicated, but it was precisely because of this that the fragrance of the toona was exuded. Coupled with the mellow fragrance of the omelette, the delicacy reached a peak in an instant!
After finishing the omelet in her mouth, the smile on Mo Chu’s lips could not help but deepen. To a foodie, there was nothing more blissful than being able to eat delicious food every day!
“You try it too.” Mo Chu pushed the remaining omelet toward Ning Yiyuan and turned around to make the mutton hotpot.
After all, there were so many of them. Not everyone could accept the taste of toona. With the mutton hotpot, it was also a good opportunity to change the taste.
Ning Yiyuan looked at the plate full of omeletes, but he did not take it from inside. Instead, he put it on the glass table outside and directly fed the egg that Mo Chu had half eaten into his mouth. His eyes and brows slightly rippled… Mmm! This taste was very good!
As for the toona omeletes that Ning Yiyuan put on the glass table, Roundy quickly smuggled a few away!
Xie Chunxi was also dazzled by the explosive attacks from the two of them. He simply reached out and took an omelet and fed it to his mouth. Sigh… it was better to use delicious food to soothe his injured little heart!
While they were indulging in the delicious omelet, everyone started to slowly be attracted by the unique fragrance of mutton.
The Federation also had mutton, but Dark Ocean Galaxy’s mutton was black mutton. The meat was exceptionally delicious. It was fat and lean, and it did not taste like mutton. It could simply be said to be the best of mutton!
As such, Mo Chu could not wait to start making mutton hotpot.
Compared to omelets, the steps of mutton hotpot were slightly more complicated.
Mo Chu first cut the water plants into pieces, then washed the mutton and cut it into 3 cm square pieces. She placed them in the soup pot and boiled the water. After the blood had been removed, she scooped up the mutton pieces and placed them aside for backup.
Then, she turned on the fire. After the pot was heated, she added oil. Then, taking advantage of the fire, she placed the water weed pieces in and stir-fried them.
After the water weed pieces was stir-fried, she mixed them with the stock that Mo Chu had prepared before. Then, she placed the mutton pieces in. Then, she added the chicken essence, pepper, and cooking wine in one go. She boiled them all over the fire.
Finally, it was put into the pressure cooker. After cooking it under pressure it for 10 minutes, the pot was ready.
Speaking of the pressure cooker, it had to be mentioned that this high-tech technology was indeed advanced. Not only did the thing produced have the function of a pressure cooker, but also because of the material, the final dish was especially fragrant!
As soon as the lid of the mutton hotpot was lifted, the group of people was already drooling!
More than half of the large plate of toona omelet had been looted. If it were not for the two chefs, Mo Chu and Ning Yiyuan, who had worked hard, they might have been able to wrap the entire plate up!
Needless to say, the mutton hotpot was well-received by everyone as soon as it was served!
The ingredients were already very fresh. Coupled with Mo Chu’s good cooking skills, the taste was even more delicious. It made people want to swallow their tongues!
This was especially true for Roundy, a carnivore. It loved this dish so much that it could not stop it. In the end, it even drank three whole bowls of soup, making its small stomach swell up until it was big and round. Then, it collapsed on the floor and did not move.
The others were not much different. They could not stop the blissful look from appearing on their faces . The days of being surrounded by delicious food could not be any more wonderful!
However, the ones who suffered the most were the people outside the door.
At this moment, they were pounding their feet. This fragrance was faintly discernible, causing them to choke on it. However, they could not eat it. It could not be any more miserable!
In the end, they could only circle around the door from time to time, just so that they could smell this fragrance again. It was better than nothing!
Thus, there was a wonderful scene in outside the room: People walking to and fro sniffling at her door. They were conflicted and happy at the same time!
