Seeing that he was unable to escape and the possibility of being attacked by the outside world was very small, Xiao Yu relaxed his vigilance a little. He sat cross-legged and asked, "Brine squid? What is brine?"
"Well," Wen Xi thought for a while and said, "Brine is made by stewing seasonings in clean water. Stew until the aroma of the seasonings is stimulated, then add the squid that has been preliminarily processed and blanched, and heat it Cook it until the fragrant and fresh flavor of the brine penetrates into it and becomes the stewed dish.
Brine squid is to blanch the cleaned squid. After the brine is boiled, add the squid and mix well. Cover and cook until it boils. Turn to low heat and simmer for 20 minutes. "
Xiao Yu was confused when he heard this: "Wen Xi, I don't understand very well. Do I need to use other kitchen utensils for the brine? This iron plate can't cook the brine you mentioned, can it?"
He has long been accustomed to the convenience brought by robots. Suddenly he heard such detailed cooking steps, and he couldn't keep up for a while.
"Yes, not only do I need to replace the iron plate, I also need a pot that can control the firepower. Fortunately, I have prepared it in advance, clang clang clang! This pot and the cassette stove are the wool I picked up from Chen Ai. How about I be smart?"
Wen Xi took out the outdoor cooking equipment she had prepared for camping from the space button. There were pots, stoves and ingredients, enough for her to make braised squid.
Xiao Yu gave a thumbs up and praised: "Wenxi, you are very well prepared! I was just wanting to eat some hot food. I am right to follow you. Su Anji, you have such a vicious vision!"
"It's almost too late!"
Su Anji frowned and said: "Xiao Yu, why are you standing there so stupidly? Why don't you hurry up and get to work! Wen Xi is not the chef you hired at a high price. How dare you open your mouth and wait to eat?"
He still maintained a posture of holding the weapon tightly and launching a counterattack at any time, for fear of sudden changes in the confined space. He has no worries and it doesn't matter if he dies.
But he couldn't let Wen Xi die before him!
This is the professional ethics of Super Pony!
Xiao Yu clicked his tongue twice and stopped arguing with Su Anji. He offered to help: "Wenxi, what can I do?"
"Here, test the pollution value of this bucket of water. If it is lower than 500, it can be used to clean squid."
Wen Xi didn't like cooking. She didn't need the smell of human fireworks. She just wanted to sit and wait to eat.
It's a pity that Xiao Yu and Su Anji obviously can't take on this important task. If Wen Xi wants to eat food that suits her taste, she has to do it herself.
She took out the washed mutated giant rat meat from the space button, cut it into large pieces and put it into a pot of water, boiled it over high heat until it boiled, skimmed off the foam, and repeated this several times until the mutated giant rat meat was cooked until it was soft and rotten and fell off the bones. Pour out into a soup bowl.
Xiao Yu was close to the soup bowl, and the alluring smell of meat made him thicker-skinned: "Eh? Wen Xi, what kind of meat did you just cook? It smells weird and has a strong fishy smell. Do you want me to try it? Test poison?"
"Xiao Yu, your abacus beads have been heard by everyone in Base 317!"
Su Anji quarreled with Xiao Yu as usual, and after quarreling with him, she behaved well to Wenxi: "Wenxi, are you cooking mutated giant rat meat? Treated meat you bought from Chen Ai?"
"Well, that's right."
Wen Xi didn't say how she battled wits with Chen Ai, the crooked businessman, and it took a lot of effort to get him to give him three bags of mutated giant rat meat with a radiation contamination value of 0.
Xiao Yu's words were truly sincere, "In my entire life, I have never seen anyone handle mutated giant rat meat like this. Just put it in a pot of water and stew it. It has such a strong fishy smell. It will be really good." Do you want to eat?”
His senses are more than ten times stronger than ordinary people, so he can clearly smell the fishy smell in the soup bowl.
Wen Xi rinsed the pot with the water she had brought from the river before. She refined the oil with the fat of the mutated giant rat meat, discarded the oil residue, then added water to the pot, and then added cloves and small peppers. Fennel, coriander seed, star anise and cinnamon.
She didn't have cinnamon for the time being. Without one or two seasonings, the taste of the marinade would not be affected much.
There was no colander, so Wenxi asked Xiao Yu to hold the soup bowl. She blocked the edge of the bowl with chopsticks: "Xiao Yu, pour the soup. Try not to let the mutated giant rat's meat and bones fall into the pot."
Xiao Yu did as he was told. He was thick-skinned and not afraid of burning his hands. After pouring the soup, he saw the remains of bones and flesh at the bottom of the bowl: "Wen Xi, can you eat this?"
Wen Xi stirred the brine pot and said to Xiao Yu: "Well, it's edible, but it shouldn't have much taste. If you want to give it a try, sprinkle some salt on it first."
After stewing for a long time, all the essence of the mutated giant rat meat was stimulated, and the residue was tasteless.
"Pfft~"
Xiao Yu sprinkled a little salt on the bottom of the soup bowl. The fishy smell in his mouth was so strong that he couldn't swallow a bite. It made him want to vomit!
"Hahahahahahahaha~"
Su Anji laughed like a dumbbell. He liked to see Xiao Yu's embarrassment. It was so funny! Enough to keep him laughing all day long!
Wen Xi was mentally prepared and handed over a bottle of water at the right time: "Xiao Yu, do you understand why the big guys don't want to eat raw stewed mutated giant rat meat?"
"Wen Xi, you know this, why do you still cook it?" Xiao Yu shouted with an unconvinced look on his face.
"Brine requires broth. Brine without broth has no soul. I dare to use mutated rat meat to make broth. The secret lies in the seasonings I added to the pot!"
Wen Xi explained to Xiao Yu while stirring the brine pot, "Mutated plants are aggressive, and due to the age, these brine recipes have long been lost. I rely on my superpowers to use the special effects of these mutated plants For those who have identified it, it will be time to test whether it is correct."
Xiao Yu didn't trust Su Anji as blindly. He accurately captured the flaw in Wen Xi's words: "Stop it, stop it! Wen Xi, you don't have to tell me so much, you just need to tell me one thing, the most important thing. ! Are these mutated plants used for seasoning really edible? Will eating them really not cause any harm to the body?"
Wen Xi told the truth: "Probably not. Don't worry, I'll test the poison first. If I eat it and it's fine, you can eat it again."
Xiao Yu: ...I believed your evil deeds!
Su Anji noticed Xiao Yu's ghostly expression and laughed a few times: "Xiao Yu, you just thought of it now and asked if you can eat it?"
Xiao Yu glared angrily: "Su Anji, don't think I dare not beat you!"
"Just a little, a coward drinks cold water! He deserves it!"
Su Anji finished adding insult to injury and continued to express her loyalty to Wenxi: "Wenxi, I'll eat first later!"
Wen Xi raised his eyebrows: "Okay! Once the brine is boiled, you can put in the squid! In 20 minutes, it's time to witness the miracle!"
Time passed by, and a strange fragrance wafted.
Xiao Yu was so fascinated by the enticing smell of meat that he lost his rational judgment: "Wen Xi, let me test the poison first!"
Su Anji sneered and was about to say something when there was an earth-shattering loud noise above her head!
Bang!
"Fuck! Where did the loud noise come from? Could it be that someone is attacking us outside?"
Su Anji's expression changed drastically, and she rushed to Wen Xi with her weapon in hand, her body naturally in a protective posture.
There was thick smoke billowing twenty meters away from them. Before Wen Xi could figure out what was going on, the entire pot of braised squid disappeared!
