Yun Lan rested her mind, and instead of waiting for the elusive foundation building and the unreliable alchemy and beast control, she would just go to Alpha Star to try her luck.
What if her blind cat meets a dead rat and she really finds a reliable partner?
Bai Ze also felt that Yun Lan had better make two preparations. After all, both foundation building and alchemy control would take some time, and what Cang Lan Xing and Shan Hai Jing lacked the most right now was time.
No longer disturbing Yun Lan, Bai Ze stayed beside the suppressed tofu. Qing waited for the time to come and asked Yun Lan to take out the tofu and make Mapo tofu and pan-fried tofu for him to eat.
The aroma of tofu lingered on the tip of his nose, and Yunlan actually couldn't concentrate on it. While making plans, he glanced at the tofu on the table from time to time.
When the time came, without Bai Ze reminding him, Yunlan put away his light brain and removed the light and small stones.
According to Bai Ze, the tofu formed by pressing these small stones for about thirty minutes is soft tofu.
Yun Lan curiously lifted the gauze and found that the so-called tender tofu looked the same as tofu, but slightly firmer.
"What's the difference between this and Douhua?" Yunlan poked it with his hand and easily poked a small hole in it.
"Master, you will know the difference after you taste it for a while." Bai Ze gave it a try.
Because Sichuan peppercorns have not yet been collected in Classic of Mountains and Seas, the version of Mapo Tofu that Yun Lan is making cannot actually be called Mapo Tofu at all. It can barely be regarded as a copycat version, but Bai Ze feels that he can make do with it.
Chef Bai Ze stood next to Yun Lan and guided Yun Lan on how to make Mapo Tofu, as if he was giving instructions. His attitude was even more serious than when he was teaching Yun Lan how to practice.
Yunlan followed the instructions without saying a word, but she hesitated briefly when she heard that the soft tofu cut into knuckle-sized pieces was to be put into the pot and stir-fried.
"This tofu is so delicate. Are you sure you won't break it all up after stir-frying?"
Bai Ze raised his head and hummed: "It's not as fragile as you think, master. Be careful when you stir-fry it. It won't break."
Yun Lan, who had been slapped in the face many times, had no intention of arguing with Bai Ze. She just raised her questions reasonably. Seeing that Bai Ze was so confident, she didn't hesitate and poured the tofu into the pot neatly. His movements couldn't help but become softer and gentler.
Trying to stir-fry gently, Yunlan found that the tofu in the pot was actually still good and did not fall into pieces due to her movements.
After stir-frying for about a minute, Yun Lan added the cornstarch prepared on the side with water. After a while, the pot became thicker and the aroma became richer.
Mapo tofu does not need to be cooked for a long time. After adding the cornstarch water, it can be cooked in a minute or two.
After serving the mapo tofu that had turned from white to dark red, Yun Lan was sure she heard her own swallowing sound.
Even though she had tasted a lot of new things with Bai Ze during this period of time, and she had tried all kinds of ways to make pig parts, the fragrance of the tofu still made her salivation increase.
"Where's the rice? How can you eat Mapo Tofu without rice!" Bai Ze, who has not yet regained his human form, can only count on his owner Yunlan to serve him rice.
The rice Bai Ze was talking about was naturally not the rice made after mature S-class rice from the Federation, but the rice steamed from the rice grown in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
There are two staple foods in the Federation, one is nutrient solution and the other is rice.
Because low-level crop seeds are actually very cheap, rice is more of a staple food on planets of C level and below.
The staple food of Canglan Star is still rice, but it is the lowest grade D rice. Its grains are grey-black, extremely small, very hard, bitter and astringent, and its taste is also weird.
Yun Lan has never eaten S-grade rice, but she has seen S-grade rice. S-grade rice grains are much larger than D-grade rice, white in color, and as big as a child's fingernail.
Xingwang said that S-grade rice has no taste, has a powdery texture, and is a bit astringent. It sounds more delicious than D-grade rice, but not too much.
After several generations, the S-class rice grown in Shanhaijing has become twice as small as the Federation's S-class rice. It is also white, but it looks more lustrous than the Federation's S-class rice.
According to Bai Ze, the rice unearthed from Shanhaijing not only tastes far better than the federal rice, but also surpasses the federal rice by a million in terms of nutritional value.
The first batch of rice in Shan Hai Jing was harvested not long ago. Because the rice yield is large, everyone in the village can taste the taste of rice after the rice is harvested.
It was the first time to eat rice produced by Shanhaijing. Everyone, including Yunlan, was amazed by the taste.
There is no astringency in the mouth, and it does not have a powdery texture as mentioned on Xingwang. Instead, it is very elastic and very sweet when chewed carefully.
After eating such delicious rice, compared with the D-grade rice they had eaten before, the D-grade rice was instantly ground into the mud.
But even with such delicious rice, after tasting it only once, the uncles and aunts in the village refused to eat it again and insisted that she sell all the rice in Canlan Pavilion.
But Yun Lan suppressed the matter and distributed all the rice to all the villagers on a per capita basis.
It also requires that all rice produced by Shanhaijing in the future must be ensured that everyone has enough for their own rations before the excess can be sold.
Her request naturally met with opposition from almost everyone, but for the first time she exercised her authority as the planet master and rejected all objections.
After that, the uncles and aunts in the village were even angry with her for several days. Later, seeing that she was still resolute and realizing that there was absolutely no chance of changing the matter, the uncles and aunts choked up and accepted Yunlan's arrangement.
In fact, they didn't know that Yun Lan wanted them to eat better, but they also wanted to share some of the pressure for Yun Lan.
With a burden as big as Cang Lanxing's on their shoulders, no amount of star coins would be enough to consume it in the future. They were not in a hurry to enjoy the blessings, they just wanted to take off the burden from Yun Lan's shoulders as soon as possible.
Recovering from the memory, Yunlan served Bai Ze a bowl of rice for his boss, and pressed it down thoughtfully. Then he picked up a huge bowl himself, filled out a rice that was not much less than Bai Ze, and began to inhale it.
Yun Lan and Bai Ze, who were full, burped in perfect synchronization, then recovered their thoughts and continued working seriously.
Early the next morning, Yunlan watched Uncle Luo smoothly put the radishes on the shelves at the backstage of Canglan Pavilion. The amount was two tons. Yunlan thought that it would take at least half a month to sell out these radishes.
But who would have expected that in the blink of an eye, the cargo volume display in the backstage of Canglan Pavilion would be reduced by half.
She rubbed her eyes in disbelief, but when she opened her eyes again, the goods in the backstage were completely emptied!
Yun Lan looked at Uncle Luo, and Uncle Luo looked at Yun Lan.
