After the broadcast ended, Huo Yu sat on the chair in the control room and did not get up for a long time.

He thought of countless ways to support the 083 scientific research station, but he was rejected one by one.

Global warming causes glaciers to break, which is a natural disaster.

It is difficult for manpower to fight against natural disasters.

Even if he cheats.

"Woo~"

Sensing Huo Yu's emotional change, the two little guys came closer to each other.

Huo Yu came back to his senses, smiled reluctantly, and touched the heads of the two little guys.

Huo Yu understood that there was really nothing he could do about the icekeeper being trapped.

He is just an ordinary person, not a god.

If it weren't for the systematic black technology [Ice Stabilizer] at the 249 scientific research station, then he might be the one who was killed now.

The icekeeper's duty is to protect, and now all he can do is to protect the glacier under his feet.

"hungry?"

After thinking about it, Huo Yu realized that it was getting late.

At this time in the past, the two little guys were already clamoring for food.

Probably sensing that Huo Yu was in a depressed mood, the two little guys kept restraining themselves from making any noise about eating.

"Ouch~"

"Ouch~"

Huo Yu smiled slightly and said, "Okay, let me cook for you now. How about some fruit salad?"

Xiaoyu, Xiaotuan: (ಥ﹏ಥ)

You still have to eat fruit, and you have to be trustworthy as a human being.

And the right amount of fruit is also good for the bodies of the two little guys.

Having said that, the two little guys are both carnivores after all, so Huo Yu still prepared their favorite meat for the two little guys.

The two children are very sensible today and can make some delicious treats to reward them.

I have to say that the eldest brother Leng Boxue is very capable and the meat he delivers is of excellent quality.

These meats contain less pork and a larger proportion of chicken and beef, and eating both types of meat is healthier.

I dug out a frozen hen from the snow outside and took out some good beef ribs.

These ingredients are enough for Huoyu and two little guys to have a good dinner.

Before Bai Xiaomo left, Huo Yu specially learned how to make soup from her. Although he didn't fully learn the essence, the taste was much better than before.

The considerate captain Leng also gave Huo Yu a large alcohol pot. This thing is a special version specially provided for outdoor workers and is perfect for making soup.

The best way to cook hens is naturally to make chicken soup.

The chicken soup recipe that Bai Xiaomo taught Huo Yu is the most authentic way of making soup. It does not use other ingredients such as ham or bone sticks, but only uses an old hen.

The famous dish of the state banquet [boiled cabbage] is a soup prepared in this way.

In the early years, pork bones were also used in the [boiled cabbage] soup.

However, because the use of pork would involve some problems, the chefs of the state banquet later changed it and used chicken to make the soup.

After the old hen was thawed, Huo Yu took out a kitchen knife, cut it from the arm, and then tore it along the spine.

The whole chicken thigh was torn off easily.

Remove the chicken butt and head. These two items will destroy the taste of the chicken soup and affect your appetite.

You can save it for the little ones as a late night snack...

Cut the chicken breast into minced pieces, which is called chicken mince, for making soup later.

The other chicken should be cut into pieces and cleaned with melted snow water.

Put the washed chicken pieces into the pot under cold water and blanch the dirt and floating residue inside.

Take out the blanched chicken pieces, add cold water to the pot again, add onion, ginger, garlic and other seasonings to remove the fishy smell, bring the pot to a boil and then simmer over low heat.

Since it was difficult to control the firepower of the alcohol pot, Huo Yu had to take out a few alcohol blocks from underneath.

After the water boils, a layer of fat will appear on the surface of the chicken soup.

This layer of oil cannot be fished out or scattered. With this layer of oil protecting the soup, the chicken soup will become more fragrant as it cooks.

Normally, the longer the chicken soup is simmered, the better, but Huoyu is in the Arctic after all, and having a sip of chicken soup is a luxury, so there is no need to be so particular.

The little fish lay next to Huo Yu with his tongue hanging out, and from time to time he stretched out his paws to push the spice box to Huo Yu's hand.

After watching it like this for a while, the little guy seemed to feel bored and ran to tease the dazed little group aside.

Huo Yu smiled slightly and allowed the two little guys to play around.

The two little guys chased each other and ran around the house.

After simmering for half an hour, a pot of yellow, oily chicken soup is ready.

But this is a rough soup, and impurities need to be screened out before making white soup.

Huo Yu sifted out impurities and chicken pieces, cleaned off the chicken fat on the surface, and then put the minced chicken into the soup, using them to absorb the remaining impurities in the soup.

The minced chicken is marinated in advance with onion, ginger, pepper and rice wine, and has a salty taste.

The chicken pieces have been cooked out of their essence and are actually worthless for consumption.

In line with the principle of not wasting food, Huo Yu still kept them and gave them to the little ones as snacks.

Put the minced chicken into the hot soup, add a few more alcohol cubes and bring to a boil over high heat. The minced chicken will turn up like snowflakes from the bottom.

At this time, the fat and impurities are adsorbed on the chicken mince, and the soup begins to become clear.

After half an hour, the soup became as clear as light tea, with no trace of oil star visible.

Remove the minced chicken and what’s left is the perfect chicken soup.

Surprisingly, Huo Yu could only see steam rising from the chicken soup, but could not smell any aroma.

This is because the aroma is locked in the soup, which makes it look as light and clear as boiling water.

He tried a small spoonful.

The soup has a rich and mellow taste, not oily or greasy, and a faint freshness explodes on the taste buds on the tip of the tongue.

After swallowing the soup, the fragrant and refreshing aftertaste still lingers in your mouth.

"It's time to eat." Huo Yu shouted upstairs with squinted eyes.

When Huo Yu was free from making soup, he brought the roasted beef ribs to the table, and a 'simple' dinner was ready.

Before he finished speaking, he saw a large and small white whirlwind rushing up the stairs one after another.

Huo Yu smiled helplessly. These two little guys were becoming more active in cooking day by day.

Although he was complaining in his heart, Huo Yu still prepared a large bowl of chicken soup for the two little guys.

After all, this chicken soup has less oil and salt, so it is still very suitable for them to eat.

Xiao Yu jumped onto the exclusive seat, as nimble as a cat.

It stretched out its pink tongue and licked the chicken soup in the bowl, and its two light blue wolf eyes instantly narrowed into a crescent moon in comfort.

"Ouch~ (What the hell is this? It tastes so good!)"

Seeing that Xiaoyu was drinking vigorously, Xiaotuan was not far behind.

However, the little guy didn't have the agility of a small fish, so he could only circle around Huo Yu's feet, screaming in excitement.

Huo Yu had no choice but to lift up the plump little ball and carry it to the dinner table.

Feeling the soles of his feet touch the table, Xiaotuan immediately ran to his bowl excitedly and picked up the soup bowl in a bear hug.

This scene made Huo Yu tremble with fear, fearing that the soup would splash out and burn the little guy.

Fortunately, Xiaotuan's paws were steady enough, and the soup lingered in the bowl for a long time, but it didn't overflow.

The little guy has never been as elegant as a small fish when eating. He picked up a soup bowl that was bigger than his face and started drinking.

Tons tons tons tons tons!

Huo Yu strongly suspected that this guy didn't taste the chicken soup at all.

The two little guys finished their soup and looked at Huo Yu's soup bowl at the same time.

Alarm bells rang in Huo Yu's heart.

"What are you doing?" He pulled his bowl away, "Drink your own, don't drink too much and take advantage of it!"

Xiaoyu and Xiaotuan looked at each other helplessly, then stood up and started eating the roasted beef ribs on the dinner table.

Huo Yu breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the soup bowl and took a sip.

Um--

Delicious.

It smells like Bai Xiaomo!
