At this moment, the carefree, regretless and invincible general fell into deep thought - she began to search her memory carefully, and after a while she remembered the identity of the person in front of her.
Some time ago, the immortal ship Luofu encountered a star core disaster and was severely damaged. According to General Shen Ce, Jianmu was resurrected as a result. The mastermind behind all this was the Lord of Extinction of the Antimatter Legion - Huanlong.
In order to destroy the immortal boat, she colluded with the secret cult of the Medicine King and the traitors of the Chiming clan, and threw the star core into the Xuangen of Jianmu, which triggered this disaster.
However, Jing Yuan was fortunate to get help from an unknown guest on the Starry Sky Train. With the help of the train, Luofu successfully thwarted the other party's conspiracy.
After the plan was exposed, Huanlong created a body with Jianmu and star core, and fought with them in Jianmu Cave Heaven, trying to directly destroy the fairy boat with force.
At this critical moment, an unknown guest named Yue Yan stepped forward, transformed into his true form, and beat Huanlong to his knees, ultimately defeating him...
According to Jing Yuan, this Miss Yue Yan claimed to be a cook on the Starry Sky Train, but her true identity was an ancient dusk beast that had awakened from an ancient slumber. She was also the messenger of the Greedy Star God and carried the blessing of Obolos.
It's just because the power is too strong. If it is directly unsealed, it will go out of control and may easily cause the immortal boat and the surrounding star fields to be exposed. Therefore, it is usually kept in a sealed state.
Honestly, this identity is too shocking... Objectively speaking, it's even more shocking than Jianmu and the Star Core. Despite having video footage and various evidence, the Alliance still finds it hard to believe it—
An ancient beast, and an envoy of the Greedy Order, became an unknown guest and worked as a cook on the Starry Sky Train. This is nonsense and no one would believe it.
Taking all these factors into consideration, the Marshal was ready to send two generals to the Immortal Boat to test Jing Yuan under the pretext of participating in the military ceremony...
Feixiao was one of the generals who received the order this time.
……
Fei Xiao, who hadn't expected to meet another envoy in a dream, came over and carefully examined the girl's face. After confirming that it was the person in the video sent by Jing Yuan, he asked with some doubt:
"Excuse me, are you Miss Yue Yan?"
"Uh...it's me. Are you really General Skystrike?"
She nodded in acknowledgement of this question, and then asked with interest:
"I heard General Shen Ce talk about you... He said you were the Ancient Dusk Beast, and a greedy envoy. I never thought I'd dream about you. How bizarre."
Yue Yan smiled:
"I'm just a cook. It's just a coincidence that I dreamed of this... My place often attracts some special people for unknown reasons."
"Then it seems that what Jing Yuan said is true."
Seeing that the other party did not deny it, Fei Xiao immediately became interested:
"You are clearly a gluttonous envoy, the darling of the thirsty drinkers of all realms, yet you voluntarily become an unknown passenger on the Star Train?
Interesting, really interesting, there really are all kinds of wonders in the sea of stars..."
"Greed is not the path I pursue; pioneering is my destiny. I simply gained the power of an envoy by accident...
Anyway, General, would you like something to eat? I was just about to make myself a late-night snack."
Yue Yan said, cutting off two slices of rye bread, and then covering one of them with a thick slice of smoked meat, and invited enthusiastically:
"Since you're here, why not stay and have some food with me? I'll also let you see my cooking skills."
"Oh? You're such a cook."
Fei Xiao immediately became interested after hearing this: "In that case, I will respectfully obey your command."
"General, please choose a seat of your choice and wait for a moment."
……
After bringing Feixiao to sit down, Yue Yan continued to deal with the sandwich in her hand - what she was going to make was also a classic American delicacy "Reuben sandwich".
This dish consists of two slices of rye bread, a huge amount of smoked meat, an excess of German sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and Russian dressing. It has a good reputation among working people because it is easy to eat, quite filling and tastes good.
The main difficulty in making it is the smoked meat. Even the original edible beef needs to be marinated for 15 days to a month before it can be prepared.
To make the sandwich itself, you just need to stack the ingredients layer by layer, then put them in an electric baking pan, press them down, and bake the cheese inside at high temperature until it melts.
Cloud sandwich.
Introduction: The original version was created by Arnold Rubin, the head chef of Reuben restaurant in New York, by accident. The main change of this version is that the excess smoked beef in the original version is replaced with carefully made smoked beef, which not only improves the taste, but also sublimates the flavor.
Edible benefit: None.
It should be noted that the benefit of this thing is not truly zero. The effect of smoked meat is still there, but the sandwich itself does not provide any additional new benefits.
After the sandwich was toasted, Yue Yan brought it to Fei Xiao, along with two bottles of ice-cold beer. At this time, the smoked meat had become more fragrant after being heat-treated, blending with the cheese, sauce, and pickles. Coupled with the slightly burnt browned black bread, one could tell at a glance that this thing must be delicious.
It's a calorie bomb.
"Sandwich, I love it! Thanks."
Feixiao seemed very satisfied with the food. He picked up a sandwich, brought it to his mouth, opened his mouth and took a bite.
The crust of the rye bread is baked to a crispy texture and is slightly tough. When you bite into it, you can taste the spicy yellow mustard sauce and crispy German sauerkraut, mixed with the rich aroma of melted cheese, which makes you hungry before you even chew it.
For some reason, Germany and Northeast China have a well-known strange similarity in cuisine. People in these two regions not only love beer and pork elbows, but have developed many recipes in this regard. Even the way they handle sauerkraut is similar.
The only difference is that Northeastern kimchi uses Chinese cabbage, while German kimchi uses cabbage. The taste is exactly the same, but because of the ingredients, the former is crispy, while the latter is harder and crispier.
After biting through the pickles, what comes next is the essence of the entire sandwich - the thick smoky pork belly.
The taste of this part is top-notch. Due to its own characteristics, the meat of this atmospheric plankton has a tenderness that is difficult for any mammal to achieve. After biting it and chewing it in the mouth, it gives people the illusion of eating a mixture of clouds and meat.
Paired with the salty melted cheese, it feels like a SPA for your mouth.
241
Chapter 241: Is this considered bribing the general?
Chew the ingredients in your mouth until they are blended. After swallowing, the aroma of the sandwich will still remain on your tongue. The sour taste of the milk smoke and sauerkraut will linger for a long time, making you constantly salivate and swallow saliva.
At this time, you just need to open a bottle of beer to relieve the greasiness. After opening it, blow on it twice, use the foam and a small amount of alcohol to clear the taste left in your mouth, and then you can continue eating.
Since the characteristic of the Reuben sandwich is that it has a lot of ingredients and is piled very thickly, like a cube, you need to open your mouth wide when eating it, which is inevitably a bit ungentlemanly for girls.
But this General Tianji ate in a very heroic and natural way, without the pretentiousness of a little girl. He had the feeling of a Liangshan hero.
After more than ten minutes, the whole sandwich was eaten up. Feixiao wiped his mouth and stretched with some satisfaction. The characteristic of the Reuben sandwich is that it has a lot of ingredients, meat, vegetables, and milk. For ordinary people, one sandwich plus a glass of milk is enough to make them full, not to mention that it is a midnight snack.
But she still looked a little unsatisfied.
"Can I have another one?"
She pointed at the sandwich on the plate, and the corners of her mouth curved into a beautiful arc: "It tastes really good."
General Tianji is a handsome woman. If a normal girl saw her smile, she would inevitably be a little crazy. However, due to her long-term contact with a certain raccoon, Yue Yan has become somewhat immune to this type of handsome girl, so her expression is relatively normal:
"Of course you can, eat as much as you want, there's plenty of meat."
"Thanks for that."
Fei Xiao felt his pocket and frowned when he realized that his money was gone. He asked, "Give me your chat ID. I'll transfer the money to you when I wake up..."
"This is my ID... Let's add each other as friends. Forget about the money. I'm a friend of General Jing Yuan, and you and he are both generals of the Imperial Bow."
The girl flatly refused: "Round it off. You are my friend after all. I just came to eat a few sandwiches. How can I charge you for it?"
"Rounding off like this..."
Fei Xiao scratched his head, then shrugged. "Well, it doesn't matter... I should be going to Luofu soon. By then, General Jing Yuan will probably invite you back for some business. I'll thank you properly when we meet then."
After saying that, she picked up another sandwich and started eating it. It was so delicious that even her ears were shaking. Yue Yan also tasted her own work comfortably.
This time there was no need to rush to eat, and the two even had time to talk and chat.
"Come to think of it, I also know a chef who's also very good at cooking. His name is Jiao Qiu. He always says that a chef who doesn't want to be a doctor can't be considered a good general's staff. He spends every day either studying pharmacology or practicing cooking."
Fei Xiao swallowed a mouthful of beer and said, "But he's different from a pure chef like you. His main occupation is actually a healer, the kind who helps people with illnesses. He belongs to a relatively special school on the Yaoqing Immortal Boat called Ranzhi."
"Oh, I've heard of that."
Yue Yan was stunned for a moment, then remembered that this person was also a character who had appeared in the leak, and could be considered a half-colleague of hers:
"It's said to be a school of thought that uses medicinal food as its primary medical method, advocating that recuperation is worse than treatment. It's quite interesting, but unfortunately I don't know much about medicinal food. I can only say that I have a basic understanding."
She wasn't being modest when she said this - although she had some knowledge of medicinal food in her previous life, it was only superficial, basically all kinds of soups and stews for conditioning... For her, adding some medicinal herbs to chicken soup was also a medicinal food.
Moreover, she has not studied Chinese medicine systematically, and randomly prescribing medicine and cooking may cause harm to people.
Fei Xiao scratched his ears when he heard this:
"We're both chefs, so we should have some common topics, right? At least in terms of taste, I feel like your cooking is on par with his. This meat, in particular, has an amazing texture. How did you make it?"
"Oh, this one, this one uses the cloud meat of atmospheric plankton domesticated by Metillo. It's marinated in spiced water for a month or two..."
Yue Yan talked a lot.
"so complicated……"
After listening to her explanation of the production process of Yunjian smoked meat, even Feixiao couldn't help but smack his lips in amazement: "It's just a piece of meat, but it takes so long to make it. This is really..."
"It's not that complicated, it just takes a long time to wait. The process is pretty simple... By the way, please wait a moment."
Yue Yan said, and returned to the kitchen, and took out another piece of smoked meat. This was the meat of the Star-Breaking King Worm that had not been eaten before. There was still a palm-sized piece left. He packed it up along with the two dream passes and handed it to Fei Xiao:
"I have some other food here, but it's not enough for a meal on the train. General, you can take it.
When you return to reality, remember to give it to the chef named Jiao Qiu to try and let him taste it. When we meet again later, don’t forget to tell me what he thinks of it.”
Faced with the gift from the other party, Feixiao wanted to refuse, but the next second he saw the subtle desire to win in the girl's black pupils - she often fought with others and was brave and bellicosous, so she was very familiar with this desire.
"Ha, I see."
So after thinking for a while, she decided that a piece of meat was not a bribe and accepted the package. At the end, she patted Yue Yan on the shoulder and said jokingly, "So you cooks are just like us warriors."
Yue Yan didn't say anything - after all, she really wanted to compete with the other party and see how capable a cook and doctor who could serve as a general's staff was.
During the one or two months she was resting in Xianzhou, she had nothing to do and had visited various restaurants in Xianzhou... It couldn't be considered as a challenge, she just went there to try the signature dishes of each restaurant and then point out their shortcomings.
Some of the chefs in these restaurants are really good. They are also old and have lived for hundreds of years. When others point out the flaws in their dishes, they are somewhat dissatisfied and want to compete with her. The result is naturally Yue Yan's victory.
In addition, there are also some people who are willing to learn, or there is really nothing wrong with the dishes they cook - there are thousands of chefs in Xianzhou, and many of them have reached the pinnacle of culinary skills.
Among them, she felt that the one who deserved her respect the most was Master Yan Cui from Jinren Lane - just like her in her previous life, she ran a small restaurant and had excellent cooking skills but chose not to become a chef in a high-end luxury hotel.
The food here is affordable, tastes great, and doesn't come with any fancy presentation. It's a complete value for money, and it would be inappropriate to find fault with it.
242
Chapter 242: If I dream again at midnight.
Chef Yan Cui is an excellent cook, especially good at stir-frying. Whether it is pork kidneys or fish fillets, all kinds of delicate ingredients that need to be stir-fried quickly over high heat can be cooked perfectly in her hands.
The vegetables fried by the spaceship engine on the stove in the back kitchen are so green and juicy with bright colors, which is simply amazing. Even the chefs in those high-end restaurants may not have such cooking skills.
Note that what we are talking about here is the real spacecraft engine...
It is said that in the early years, when Master Yan Cui had not yet retired from the Yunqi army, the leader once gave her and her comrades a one-year vacation. Several Yunqi got together to discuss and then formed a group to go out for a trip.
Unexpectedly, when the ship was halfway through its journey, it encountered a fleet of the Annihilation Gang that was burning, killing and looting on an alien planet. As Cloud Riders, they naturally could not sit idly by, so they went straight down, picked up their weapons and started fighting with the gang.
It should be noted that the Annihilation Gang is not the same as the Antimatter Legion. The latter is considered a regular army of destruction with powerful combat capabilities. It has a great reputation in the galaxy and can stop children from crying at night.
The former are just self-proclaimed lackeys, and have never received the real attention of the God of Destruction. Their members are a mixed bag, with all kinds of people, and no unified standard equipment. In essence, they are a mixture of galactic bandits and hooligans who burn, kill, and loot.
The result of a fight between such a group of miscellaneous soldiers and the regular troops of Xianzhou can be imagined - the group of the Anmie Gang, who bullied the weak and feared the strong, were beaten to tears, with some dead and some injured.
The result was that the traveling cloud riders not only captured a bunch of prisoners, but also seized a spaceship, and had to temporarily terminate their travel plans and return to the fairy boat.
The so-called stove in Chef Yan Cui’s kitchen is actually a small engine from the spaceship. After she removed it, she found a craftsman friend to help connect it to the stove. It has strong firepower, multiple adjustable gears, and is very easy to use.
During the time in the fairy boat, Yue Yan also learned a lot of cooking skills from her, but she had not yet fully learned the skill of using the spacecraft engine to cook without burning it.
When she told this story to Fei Xiao, even the general was a little shocked: "Wow, using a spaceship engine to cook, there is actually such a talent among Luofu's Cloud Riders."
The girl agreed with this:
"Indeed, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon..."
……
……
……
After finishing the last half of the sandwich in her hand, General Feixiao rubbed her stomach with great satisfaction. She had never thought that she could have a full meal in her dream while sleeping.
"Okay, I'm full. Thank you for the meal. I'll definitely repay you for the meal if I have the chance."
The girl quickly shook her head: "Not really, not really. It's just a few bites of food, not worth the favor."
