Ultraman: It turns out this is the easy mode.

Chapter 591: Ants, Old Trouble

Mephilas stood quietly in a desolate, rocky wilderness. The howling wind blew up the sand and stones on the ground and hit his body continuously.

This is where Storm One sets the trap.
It's really scary.
In the distance, the traces of Storm One's battle were still there. Many aliens even came here just to see them. Mephilas' eyes were full of fear and confusion.

"Storm One, it's really terrifying, in every sense..." Mefilas whispered to himself, his voice swallowed up by the wind. He frowned slightly, thinking about the terrifying power displayed by Storm One.

"To be honest, I consider myself to be knowledgeable, but I have never seen such an outrageous thing... You said Storm One was a human, but this guy's combat power is not at all comparable to that of humans!" His eyes revealed deep confusion and shock. If he had lips, he would probably bite them tightly, but he didn't have them in his current state. At the same time, Mephilas's fists clenched unconsciously.

too weird
This Storm One is really weird.
The problem was that the guys from the Kingdom of Light swore that Storm One was a human, which Mefilas could not accept no matter what. "Who the hell believes that!!!" He angrily threw a punch into the distance, as if this could dispel the dissatisfaction and doubts in his heart.

It's a success to be able to break Mefilas' defense like this.
"No, we need to know more..." There was a cunning flash in Mefilas' eyes. He knew that Storm One was an extremely troublesome opponent.

Thinking of the traps that Storm One had carefully prepared, Mephilas couldn't help but shudder.

"I always feel that to deal with this troublesome guy, Storm One, I need to evaluate his psychology first..." He muttered to himself again, secretly feeling that ordinary people would never do such a thing, only Storm One, who for some reason had nothing to do, liked to do such insidious things. So now everyone has to be vigilant against those false intelligences at all times. When Mefilas thought of this, he felt tired, as if a heavy burden was weighing on his heart.

As the think tank of the Dark Empire of the Ambe-La Star People, it must be prepared.
Especially take necessary precautions against those troublesome enemies!

I'm talking about those hangers-on in the Kingdom of Light.

But Mefilas didn't know that it was actually being monitored.
At this time, in the four-dimensional space, there is a base for producing the four-dimensional generating device that Cui Ming had robbed before.

It's hidden and full of technology.
Thanks to Hikari and Tregear for their assistance.

In the combat command room, the flickering screens and complex instruments made humming sounds. Kainar's projection was facing away from the huge display screen, with her arms folded across her chest and a faint sneer on her lips.

"Hmph, the Mefilas is indeed a troublesome guy, just as troublesome as his own people. This guy has already discovered how powerful Cui is. Tsk tsk, look at the fear in his eyes that is almost overflowing." Kainar whispered softly, with a hint of displeasure in her voice.

She tilted her head slightly, her eyes swept across the image of Mefilas on the screen, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes. "This guy, doesn't he know that the more he behaves like this, the easier it is for him to be targeted? Really..."

She stood up slowly, the metal floor beneath her feet making a dull sound.

This makes the cats very scared.
Aren't you a projection?!
"Mephilas wants to know more? Then let him guess slowly. Hehe, Cui Ke asked me to set up some traps for him carefully. This is a big gift prepared for him." Kainar felt happy when she thought that Mephilas might fall into the trap she set.

As an artificial intelligence, it is wrong for her to do this.

After all, there is Mary Sue's spy AI in front.
But Kaynar is different.

When she was being created, Mother Earth actually secretly stuffed something into her.

But it's a positive thing. After all, Cui Ming is the most beloved child of Mother Earth.

At this time, on the other side, Cui Ming was carrying the unlucky boss.

“Don’t tell me how much money you spent on this material!” Cui Ming picked him up and looked at him and said, “Do you know that the forces behind those who died in Alindao’s mouth are enough to destroy you?”

The boss's legs were kicking weakly in the air, his face was full of fear and despair, and his mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out.

To be honest, Cui Ming also felt that this guy was unlucky. He had finally researched something useful, but he didn't expect that this thing would actually support the enemy, and all the research expenses would be almost wasted. Although there would be compensation, this wave was undoubtedly a big failure of the experiment. "Poor unlucky guy..." Cui Ming sighed in his heart, but who made him encounter this kind of thing, so he could only blame himself for his bad luck.

Cui Ming mentioned the boss, his eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, and continued: "Now, you can only think of ways to protect yourself. Oh, by the way, where did you find that doctor? I plan to go and have a look, maybe I can find a few more who need to be destroyed by then." The boss was shocked when he heard this, and felt that Cui Ming was too rude. But think about it, the EDF people seem to be very stressed by ants and bees, and don't know the specific situation. Anyway, everyone knows that they can't touch this bad luck, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

"I said! I said! But please don't."

What else can I do?
I can only say
There are still some ants to deal with.
To be honest, these ants have grown so big.
It's a hassle
So Cui Ming decided to start with the old method.
TM, cook it directly! ! ! !
In the kitchen, all kinds of strange kitchen utensils are placed in an orderly manner, and bottles and jars are also neatly arranged.

Today, Cui Ming plans to use this group of special palm-sized ants to prepare an unprecedented delicious meal.

I ate a lot during the end of the world.
It's also a chance to reminisce.

He gently opened a customized sealed container, and instantly, a group of palm-sized ants swarmed up, making a rustling sound.

Alin Road.
Cui Ming first prepared the black ant and white fungus soup. He put on special thick gloves, carefully caught a few ants, and put them in an exquisite porcelain bowl. Then, he took out the soaked white fungus from the cupboard. The white fungus was like a blooming white flower and had a soft texture. He poured the white fungus and black ants into the casserole, added an appropriate amount of water, and then sprinkled in a few ruddy wolfberries and a little crystal sugar. He placed the casserole on the stove and simmered it slowly over low heat. As the temperature rose, the pot began to bubble and the steam rose, bringing with it a strange and alluring aroma, which was the unique scent of black ants and the sweetness of white fungus. While stirring, Cui Ming muttered to himself: "It's okay, this soup is fresh enough."

Next is to stew ants with tofu. He cuts the tofu into cubes of uniform size and blanchs them in boiling water with salt for a while to remove the bean smell. At the same time, he puts several ants into a stone mortar, picks up a pestle, and pounds them into a paste. Heat oil in a pan, add green onions, ginger, and garlic to sauté, then add the ant paste and stir-fry. Instantly, the rich aroma spreads. Then, he pours in the blanched tofu, stir-frys gently and evenly, adds appropriate amounts of light soy sauce, dark soy sauce and water, covers the pot and simmers over low heat. The soup boils in the pot, and the tofu gradually absorbs the fresh fragrance of the ants, becoming more and more tempting. Cui Ming then turns his attention to the cold sour ants. He selects some Alindao ants and soaks them in ice water for a while to make the ants taste crisper. Then, he prepares the sauce, adds minced garlic, minced ginger, chopped green onions, light soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, chili oil and a little sesame oil to a bowl, and stirs well. Take out the soaked sour ants, drain the water, put them into the prepared sauce and mix well. The unique sour taste of the sour ants blends perfectly with the spicy sauce, and the smell alone makes people salivate.

Then, the sour ant scrambled eggs were cooked in the pot. Cui Ming beat a few eggs into a bowl, added a little salt and stirred evenly. Heat the pot with cold oil, pour in the egg liquid, stir until the eggs are formed and set aside. Heat the pot again, add the sour ants and stir-fry until fragrant, then pour in the fried eggs, stir-fry quickly and evenly, so that the sour taste of the sour ants can fully penetrate the eggs.

Cui Ming also fried the sour ants. After washing the sour ants, he coated them with a thin layer of starch. He poured enough oil into the pan, heated it to 70% hot, and put in the sour ants coated with starch. The ants sizzled in the pan and instantly became golden and crispy. He took them out to drain the oil and sprinkled some pepper and salt on them. The fragrance went straight into his nose.

Finally, stir-fried ant eggs were served. Cui Ming carefully took the ant eggs out of the ant nest. These ant eggs were crystal clear, like pearls. He washed the ant eggs, poured oil into the pot, added minced garlic to stir-fry, and quickly stir-fried the ant eggs. The ant eggs jumped in the pot, and soon, they exuded a light fragrance. Then sprinkled a handful of emerald green onions, the color, aroma and taste were all good.

Looking at the table full of delicious ant delicacies, Cui Ming felt a sense of accomplishment. He first scooped a spoonful of black ant and white fungus soup. When he took a sip of the soup, he first tasted the softness of the white fungus, and then the unique fragrance of the black ants spread on the tip of his tongue. His eyes lit up: "Not bad! My cooking skills have not regressed! This taste is still the same!!"

He tasted the ants stewed with tofu again, the smoothness of tofu and the freshness of ants were perfectly combined, with a rich taste. The sour and spicy cold sour ants, the wonderful combination of sour ants fried eggs, the crispness of fried sour ants, and the fragrance of vegetarian fried ant eggs, each bite brought a new taste experience.

“That’s it”

Then Cui Ming brought out the dishes.

"Okay, everyone has worked hard, let's eat something first."

Higashi Kotaro looked curious, his eyes widened when he saw the dishes served. Were they the leftover Alindao?
Looking at the exquisite dishes on the table, he swallowed subconsciously.

"Captain, are you going to give us an ant feast today?" he said with a smile.

Vice Captain Araki also walked in. Although his expression remained calm, there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"Ahem, everyone, be serious. This matter is actually quite serious."

"Okay Araki, let's eat first."

"The captain is right!"

Kitajima Tetsuya scratched his head, "Captain, these dishes look so special and smell so special, but honestly, are ants that big okay?"

"Don't worry, the taste will be fine."

Cui Ming said and looked at Lindis.

"Lindis can testify to that."

"Don't worry, everyone. This is what Lao Cui is best at."

After all, we have been eating this stuff during the apocalypse. How could Lindis not know whether it tastes good or not?
This is what Cui Ming is best at!

Nanyuan Tadao sniffed exaggeratedly, "Wow, this smell, I feel like I can eat three bowls of rice today!" Moriyama Quan followed behind Ueno Takashi with a sweet smile on his face, "Captain, I am looking forward to the taste of these delicacies."

"Huh?"*2
Misato Katsuragi and Asuka subconsciously looked at Moriyama.

"."

Not to the extent that, not to the extent that.
Cui Ming gestured for everyone to take a seat, "Okay, everyone has worked hard today. Please try my special food. Although the ingredients are special, the taste is absolutely first-class." As he said that, he first brought the black ant and white fungus soup to everyone. The steaming soup exuded a unique aroma.

Higashi Kotaro was the first to scoop a spoonful of soup into his mouth. He was slightly stunned at first, then his eyes lit up, "Well, this taste is so wonderful! The soft and sticky white fungus and the unique fragrance brought by the black ants are amazing! Captain! How did you do it?" Seeing this, others also picked up spoons to taste it. For a while, praises came one after another.

“Practice makes perfect.”

Those who understand what Cui Ming said will understand.
It's no use talking about what you don't understand.
When the ants and tofu stew were served, the rich aroma filled the air. Shuhei Araki picked up a piece of tofu and put it in his mouth. After chewing it for a few times, he nodded and praised: "This tofu has absorbed the freshness and fragrance of the ants, and the taste is very rich!" When the cold sour ants were served, Kitajima Tetsu couldn't wait to taste it, and a pleasant expression appeared on his face, "This sour ants and the sauce are so appetizing!"

Sour ant fried eggs, deep-fried sour ants, and vegetarian fried ant eggs were served one after another. The team members tasted each dish and were impressed by Cui Ming's unique cooking skills and the wonderful taste of these ant delicacies.

While enjoying the food, everyone was exclaiming and sharing their feelings, and the kitchen was filled with laughter. At this moment, the members of the Set team, who were usually tense and serious (but not at all), relaxed their bodies and minds surrounded by delicious food, and the friendship between them became deeper and deeper. This unique ant food festival

For Cui Ming and Lindis, ant delicacies
Why.
It's all tears if I say too much.
Lindis felt sorry for Cui Ming, but Cui Ming was really unlucky to encounter these things.
Who could have thought that he would be the key to saving the world!
To be honest, what Cui Ming wants to do most is to lie down
But who can blame this Star Guide for bringing out Cui Ming's bloodiness?

Then do it!
One of us must die!
