Chapter 4: 4

Su Xiaonan, who hadn’t eaten real food for a long time, almost burst into tears when she drank her first sip of the congee. The warmth in her stomach from the hot food wasn’t something that could be compared with the nutrient fluids.

“It’s delicious, older brother.” Su Xiaonan almost believed what her brother said was true.

“Just trust me!” Su Ye Mu hoped that Su Xiaonan would believe him so that he would not make her suspicious or worried if he were to do anything strange in the future.

Su Xiaonan shook her head. She, who lived in the interstellar age, had another view. Now that human beings had a mental power, it was better to say that she believed that her brother had a very strong mental power than to believe her brother’s so-called soul theory. It’s just that, this mental power had been trapped in his sea of knowledge this whole time, and her brother’s mental power was connected with a certain space that allowed her brother to see the other side of the galaxy’s blackhole.

Su Xiaonan put down the bowl, took her brother’s hand, said solemnly and seriously, “Older Brother, listen to me. Don’t tell anyone about this. If anyone asks, just say that our family has a recipe passed down for generations, okay?”

“And then what?” Su Yemu asked, stunned as he felt that his sister was not finished with her sentence.

“Then from now on, handwrite a copy of the recipe. I’ll look for paper and pen.” Human beings had entered the interstellar era and attached great importance to environmental protection. That and the records were all recorded by electronic products, thus pen and paper are hard to find. Even if they were to find it, the price would be very expensive. Nevertheless, it’s for the sake of her brother to not be captured and dissected… Good luck.

After Su Xiaonan made her decision, she finished her breakfast in three bites and dragged the robot out of the house. She was going to the black market to inquire about the situation, and repair the robot while she’s there. She had been getting headaches from listening to the robot constantly saying “333”.

Su Ye Mu was surprised by her efficiency, wow, this worked too?

Su Yemu finished the rest of the food. He was about to wash the dishes when he realized that there was no apron at home. That would make it easier for his clothes to get dirty. Thinking that he would have to cook at noon, Su Yemu went onto the star web to buy an apron, but he found that it didn’t exist. But then again, most human food was cooked, and most of the processes were done by robots. So it was not necessary.

But Su Yemu had to use it. His master once said that a real chef, from the selection of ingredients to the final completion of the process, had to personally handle it to make the most perfect food. And he also felt that the master was right.

If you don’t have an apron, you can draw it yourself. Su Yemu found an online shop that could make clothes. He hand drew an apron and sent it to the store owner, and asked them to make it according to the design.

[Customer Service: Hello, could you tell me what is painted on this cloth?]

[Su Yemu: This is panda Gungun1.]

[Customer Service: The name “Panda Gungun” is very nice and cute. Did you design it yourself? Can I buy this pattern?]

[Su Yemu: I didn’t design this, it is a national treasure kind of animal in ancient China. You can use it without buying it.]

[Customer Service: Huaxia2? Is it the Chinese civilization in history? You are amazing. Are you studying history or archaeology? I’ve never heard or seen it before. But I still have to pay you the star currency, since there is currently no such pattern on the market.]

[Su Yemu: I really don’t need it. If you really want to give money, look at any public welfare organizations and donate!]

[Customer Service: Alright. I’ll buy it for ten thousand star coins. After donating it, I’ll send you the receipt. By the way, this cloth will be ready soon, and you will receive it in an hour.]

[Su Yemu: [sweat], it’s not a cloth, it’s an apron.]

[Customer Service: Sorry, apron.]

[Su Yemu: Then, I’ll trouble you. Goodbye!]

[Customer Service: Goodbye!]

After Su Yemu went offline, the merchant‘s mouth widened in a smile. She had opened the shop for more than a month and had not yet received a single order. To her surprise, not only did she receive an order today, but also unexpectedly received this design. As a girl, she had an astonishing sensitivity for cute things. She believed that as long as the design was printed on the clothes, she didn’t have to worry about not getting any business. Oh yeah, and she could also make dolls, we had hit the jackpot.

Now grandfather wouldn’t make her follow his path any more to become a biologist!

After Su Yemu ordered the apron, he went to the supermarket to place an order for the ingredients he would need for lunch. He also bought some more kitchen tools and ingredients. To Su Yemu’s surprise, many ingredients were marked as edible varieties, but there was no method on how to eat them on the Internet. Su Yemu guessed that this had a lot to do with the loss of human cooking. If spices with heavy taste such as pepper and star anise were not used properly, it would be really difficult to eat them.

After handling these matters, Su Yemu boarded the live broadcast platform and filled out the information for a test that required the gourmet host to provide three copies of food and related videos, and send them to the head office of the live broadcast platform. After they tried and confirmed, they would select the star rating according to how delicious the food, made by the gourmet host, is.

There were five grades in this star rating. At present, the highest star rating of the platform was four and a half stars. It was a live room opened by a senior chef of the Chef Association. However, he rarely went online and occasionally came up to show his talents. Even so, his fans were more than five billion. Actually it’s not just composed of fans, from this we could see how highly respected the chef was.

After submitting the information, Su Yemu hurried to the ‘supermarket’ to place another order for a few more ingredients. He planned to send out the food for the judges to review today.

About 15 minutes later, the ingredients arrived. Su Yemu unpacked it and began to cook and when he thought about it, he decided to turn on the live broadcast, since he had to record videos.

/What did I see? I can’t believe I saw the host. Am I seeing things right? /

/I’m really glad I have been waiting./

/Diligent host, I hope it will be the same tomorrow. /

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room was lively. Su Yemu looked at the number of people online, and there were more than 300 viewers. Wow, they all stayed here. This passion for food made Su Yemu smile. As a chef, this was the highest praise for him.

/What did I see? The host smiled. /

/So handsome. I want to bear a child3 for the host. /

/ I call dibs on the host’s smile, nobody fights me for that. /

/Stand aside, you vixens. This “Head of the imperial harem” spot is mine. /

/The Head of the imperial harem? One can tell at a glance that the comment above comes from a history background. /

Seeing the word “history” flash on the on-screen comments, Su Yemu felt like an ancient creature. He cleared his throat and said, “The live broadcast is tentatively scheduled to be streamed once a day. But today, because I have applied for the star rating and they asked for three copies of food for evaluation, I decided to open a live broadcast throughout the way. Because of the time, I will move a little faster. If in the future you want to do it by yourself and you don’t understand it, you can ask me directly, and I will answer for you.”

/I know. I know. We will be sure to keep quiet. /

/Host, so can we sample it? /

“I’ll leave some for everyone to try. If you have any suggestions, feel free to propose them.” Thousands of years had passed, and Su Yemu didn’t know whether humankind’s tastes would change, but judging from the reaction this morning, there shouldn’t be a problem.

/The host is the most handsome/

/The host is the most handsome in the universe/

“Ding Dong! ”

Su Yemu was just about to start when the doorbell rang. He notified them,and went out to open the door. The apron had arrived. That was fast. He opened the package and donned the apron as he walked back into the kitchen. As he did so, Su Yemu appeared in front of everyone in an apron with a panda image on it. Complemented by the pink apron on which a round, plump panda bear was imprinted, his handsome face appeared very demure and adorkable. The audience in the live broadcast room were instantly enthralled. The on-screen comments halted unexpectedly for at least three seconds.

/So-sooo cute. It’s so cute that my nose’s bleeding/

/Reporting, the host maliciously act cute/

/So cutee, what animal is this? Why haven’t I seen it before? /

/Once again confirmed, the host is definitely not an adult/

Immediately after, there was a wave of comments asking Su Yemu what kind of animal it was. Su Yemu repeated what he had said to customer service, which invoked some follow-up questions from everyone, asking him where or which store he bought it at. They all wanted one, especially the girls. The round black and white panda, with those big innocent eyes, it’s so adorable that it could make one’s heart flutter.

Su Yemu tried to remember the name of the store, but could not remember it at all. He could only say, “The name of the store is too long. I forgot it. After I finish making the food, I will put the name of the store, and tomorrow’s menu on the bulletin board in the live room. ”

/The host is so serious. Why do I think the anchor is pretending to be calm? /

/Ha ha, don’t expose it! The host is blushing. /

The live comments were all full of teasing, and Su Yemu could only pretend that he didn’t see it and started making the dishes. He was going to fry a Yangzhou fried rice4, then a toothpick lamb meat5, and sparerib soup6.

First, he washed the rice and cooked it in the pot, and then he started to process the lamb meat.

“It’s best to use lamb’s hind leg meat for toothpick meat. It has a great texture to it. Then after washing the meat, remove the tendon. ”

Then, Su Yemu cut them into long strips about half of a finger long, and put them in a bowl for later use. He sliced onion and ginger into slices, cut parsley into sections, and added them evenly to the cut mutton with soy sauce. Besides onion, he added ginger and parsley, salt, a small amount of white sugar, chili powder, less than half a spoonful of low-alcohol liquor, starch, and most importantly cumin and pepper powder. In which both had not been ground into powder. So, Su Yemu could only buy a machine to grind it himself. When the audience saw it, they all asked what it was.

After Su Yemu explained it once again, everyone was dumbstruck. You can make food out of this? But the smell is strong and stinky!

/Pfft. It couldn’t be that the host is just trying to get everybody’s attention by adding random stuff in, right? /

/Maybe, I mean didn’t he cook the viscera congee yesterday? /

Not only was Su Yemu surprised, even the audience in the live broadcast room was astonished. Are these haters? The anchor’s just getting started. How could there be haters? As they had already tasted Su Ye Mu’s cooking, they couldn’t endure it.

/Haters who haven’t tasted the host’s cooking, please shut up. You have no right to speak./

Seeing that they were on the verge of quarreling, Su Yemu, who was stirring shredded mutton, lightly glanced at the screen. The cold stares seemed to have pierced through the eyes of the haters that they felt a chill air from the soles of their feet, which made their hearts jump.

Su Yemu smiled gently and said, “I’d like to use might to speak for me.”

With that said, he ignored the shouting on the screen and focused on his hand’s movements. The emergence of haters really surprised him. It seemed that no matter how far science and technology developed, this was a creature that could not be missed.

Although he had never done live broadcasts or live streams during his time on Earth, he would often go on the web and every time he saw these haters, he always felt like they were  an incredible existence.

/What, what a nice attack./

/That gaze, it’s so domineering. I have decided from now on, I will jump out of the “adorkable bottom” pit and stan “main or ultimate top”. /

/Standing in front, I’m also abandoning “adorkable shou”’s team and going into the arms of the “general shou”./

""

As a young comrade of the 21st century and a steel-straight man, Su Ye Mu found his face getting hotter. What “general gong? Really. That’s too direct.
