Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 135 134. After a busy night, I need to take a break

If the means are not good, that is just a matter of the means, as long as the final effect is good, that's fine.

The moment the countdown to dawn reached zero, Safe ordered the two vehicles to immediately enter standby mode, pumping all the energy into the pipes used to cool the vehicle bodies. As the mechanical sounds changed and flowed, someone breathed a sigh of relief.

That’s right, I’m talking about Lin Shenxue.

She felt that today was her most tiring day. She had to work in three parts, managing the engine, acting as an automatic ammunition feeder, and fire control. She was exhausted from doing any one of these.

So when she was the first to run into the restaurant, it was empty.

As soon as we sat down, Sefer and Tien came in, chatting and laughing - everyone was waiting for dinner.

Sefer called Shengnai, whose whereabouts were unknown, through internal communication, and even Dr. Mei came uninvited. At this point, all the people in the car were gathered together.

"Let me think about what to eat today. Do you have any suggestions?"

Tien took out the wine she had secretly chilled and placed it on the table, saying that she wanted to have some snacks to go with it.

Lin Shenxue lay on the table and said that she was willing to do anything, but the quantity had to be large.

Shengnai waved his hand and said with a smile that it would be nice for Sefer to make something new.

Finally, everyone looked at Dr. Mei, who thought for a while and said that the food with stronger flavors was not popular. The recent reserves in the car were all bland and very boring.

To sum up, as the scorching wind howled outside the car, driving countless grains of sand to scrape against the car walls, Seifer finalized today's menu.

What needs to be done is simple. First, prepare the meat - the meat that looks like beef, the meat that looks like tenderloin, and the meat that is actually chicken.

Then, the vegetables. I had prepared a lot of rehydrated vegetables beforehand, and simply adding clean water would quickly restore the texture of the vegetables to the same level as before rehydration.

In this day and age, even though nutritional intake can be achieved through convenient starch pills and liquid oral solutions, many people still pursue some food desires in order to survive.

Because you never know which will come first, an accident or tomorrow, being a mercenary is also like this - outside of fighting, there is only lust and hunger.

Both must be good and refined!

After preparing these, Sefer took out some very precious seasonings from the storage compartment.

This stuff is so expensive that the Vision Company that produces these crop seeds treats them as its flagship products and packages them beautifully.

For example, the spicy chili peppers are boasted to be ground directly and eaten raw, so that one can move freely in the desert at night without wearing any protective clothing without fear of freezing to death.

But the reality is, everyone knows it. Anyone who dares to do this would have been frozen solid long ago.

To be honest, if it weren't for the vision, the people in this world might be even less knowledgeable about food than they are now... Sefer even suspected that the reason they maintained a bland diet was because they had never conducted research in this area.

And the seasonings are more expensive than the food itself.

After all, the people in this world are not from a certain country, and the food on the table looks like a refugee meal from the last century when there were bombers overhead.

Seifer had no such concerns, and there was no need for him to be too harsh on his crew members regarding food... After all, delicious meals can greatly boost morale, no matter what aspect.

After taking everyone's requirements into consideration, Sefer quickly started to work. At the same time, he took out the staple food in the sealed bag - some bread - and heated it up.

Refined pasta that has undergone secondary processing can be quickly absorbed. Being in the car isn't like sitting at home; you actually do a lot of physical work every day, so you have to be mindful of replenishing your energy. Soon, a cough-inducing, pungent smell emanated from Sefer's direction. Even Tien, who was sipping her aperitif, coughed a few times.

Then there was a crackling sound, and the simple pungent and choking smell was immediately replaced by an extremely complex aroma. The rising smoke was also sucked away by the ventilator, finally making everyone feel less sad.

The wait was neither long nor short. As the sun rose, bringing with it waves of heat and whistling sand that could be heard through the heavy armor, Cypher distributed plates and bread to everyone.

Then he picked up the pot from the stove, put it on the table and clapped his hands.

"Taking into account everyone's considerations and ideas, come and try this legendary new cuisine, a descendant of the eight major cuisines—student cuisine."

"Sounds like something you'd eat at school?" Sheng Nai covered his nose lightly. The capsaicin stimulated by the flames and heat was a bit choking.

"Ah, not really at school. It's mainly because it's easy to make and the portion is large, so it goes well with rice. It's very popular among working people and students... Give it a try, and I'll make you some soup later."

To be honest, this treatment is much better than being in the patrol team, as it is washed down with soup instead of cold water or light wine.

Tien didn't care about the red, green, and other colorful things in the pot. She picked up the spatula and shoveled some food onto her plate. "Eat, eat, eat. What's the point of saying so many polite words?"

While waiting for the stew pot to cook, which consisted of some seasonings, vegetables, and eggs from the chicken supply company, Q Company, Seifer observed everyone's reactions to the dish.

With spicy as the basic flavor, the name of this dish called "Spicy Hotpot" must be familiar to everyone.

Whether it is the meat, vegetables or mushrooms, they are all blended with red oil and spicy flavor.

The delicious aroma of stir-frying over high heat and the urge for diners to quickly take a bite of bread are the reasons why this type of dish is so popular across the country.

As for those who cannot eat spicy food at all... they are not within the scope of consideration. According to Seifer's observation, the current passengers have a wide range of tastes. They can chew bread and eat fried chicken with relish. They don't seem to have any dietary restrictions.

Especially Lin Shenxue, she was breathing in and out with a "shashas" sound. Even though her face was flushed red from the spiciness and her tongue was almost numb from the numbness, she still took big bites of the meat and followed it up with a mouthful of bread.

When Sefer distributed the cooked soup to everyone, everyone except Dr. Mei was breathing heavily, and even Tien stopped drinking.

She said this thing tastes even spicier and she was sweating from holding it in.

Shengnai was fanning herself with her hands with some effort. Her short pink hair stuck to her forehead which was slightly sweaty, and her cheeks were also pink, but she ate no less than others.

He has great potential to travel around the country with mercenaries.

Seeing Seifer looking at him, Shengnai smiled a little embarrassedly, lowered his head and took a sip of vegetable egg drop soup, then slightly widened his eyes, surprised by its sweetness and the effect of suppressing the thirst in his mouth.

Well, this is the experience summarized by countless students based on their own experience of making a living. Don’t underestimate this experience!

It’s a pity that I didn’t buy any food like instant noodles, and I haven’t even seen any starch sausage, otherwise this spicy hotpot would be more worthy of its name.

"Okay, after you finish eating, clean up the restaurant and then go and rest. Leave all the night watch work to me."

Safer threw the various kitchen utensils into the sink with satisfaction, and then went to the main control room leisurely.

To be honest, it feels really good to not have to rest and not feel sleepy.
