Chapter Thirty-eight
It was daylight, and in the bedroom of the farm villa, a figure was sitting by the bed, the surrounding was pitch black, only the light brain emitted a little bit of fluorescence.
"Don't worry, I can afford the money, and it will be transferred to your group account in a few days." Xia Yan said into the microphone, and she stepped forward to draw the curtains and open the window.
The early morning mist is blowing, and the fruit field not far away is covered with dewdrops, and the general outline and blue-yellow color can be barely seen, and the green is about to drip.
In front of the window sill is an iron flower art railing, which is filled with various flowers, especially a jasmine plant that blooms very well. The snow-white flowers continuously send out fragrance, mixed with the coolness outside, and pour into the warm and lazy house together.
The other end of the phone sighed, and a helpless voice came again, "I'm not worried about money, to be honest, this amount of money can't cover our group's scientific research funding for a month, but you have also seen the situation on the Internet..."
Xia Yan picked up the kettle, watered the flowers one by one, and said on the other end of the phone: "...Don't be too stubborn, the self-heating hot pot may really not work."
"But you also said the word "possible", and it's not impossible." She replied mischievously.
"..."
"Okay." Mr. Wayne shook his head, seeing that he couldn't convince Xia Yan, he could only explain the recent research progress, "The research between Roan and I is about to succeed, and it is estimated that the fresh-keeping box costing 200 stars can be reduced to 150 starscoins, but the cost of the 5,000 fresh-keeping box delivered the day before yesterday was still 200 star coins."
"Well, no problem." Xia Yan said, and joked again: "In the future, if the development is successful, you will be the first to sign an order with me, and increase the power to send the assembly line for producing crisper boxes to our planet!"
Wayne on the other end of the phone was amused, and said: "You are quite relaxed, don't worry, you are a great hero, and the first order will definitely be given to you."
"Okay." Xia Yan replied, the two exchanged some polite words, then hung up the phone and looked at the current time.
five o'clock in the morning.
Where is she relaxed?I used to sleep until I woke up naturally, but now I have to get up early every day because I am busy with self-heating hot pot.
When this matter is over, she must sleep until noon!
Xia Yan took off the light brain, brushed her teeth, washed her face, chose clothes, and finally got a simple hairstyle with a scrunchie, and went downstairs.
The living room downstairs was quiet, the morning sunlight shone through the glass windows and cast on the sofa in the living room, reflecting the light of broken gold, turning the balls of snow in the living room into gold.
The little milk cat and the bunnies are still sleeping.
There are kittens whose nests are fluffy balls, snoring incessantly, sleeping very soundly, and some bunnies with their ears drooping and their faces facing the ground, it can be seen that they fell asleep instantly after being hit by the head.
Most of the dumplings are nestled together, you are pillowing on my jiojio, and I am holding your meow head, sleeping on the ground in a mess.
Xia Yan stepped forward lightly, covered the quilt that the group had kicked off, helped the baby bunny up, and lay down.
"Why don't you send the baby bunnies home." She asked Nuoyan softly while covering the quilt.
In the first few days of school, the dumplings were full of enthusiasm. After the novelty, they were immediately overwhelmed by the heavy homework and cried.
In fact, the homework content is not too much, but the students are just getting into homework, and everything is difficult at the beginning. A single-page A4 test paper is enough for them to scratch their heads and do it for two hours.
So last night, gathered around her living room doing homework. Before returning to the room, she left a promise that she would send the dumplings home. For some reason, the promise was not delivered, so she had to cover herself with a small quilt to prevent her from catching a cold.
Nuo Yan said aggrievedly: "Master, yesterday Gail and Yun Ling argued about a math problem until midnight, and everyone refused to leave, so they had to sleep in the living room!"
"Okay." Xia Yan replied, and put another small pillow on Yun Ling.
"Hey? What is this?" Xia Yan said as she picked up a piece of paper, on which two cute watercolor bunnies were drawn, with text on it.
"I don't know, it should be the content of the Chinese class." Nuo Yan replied, and also moved his round head to look this way.
In the watercolor painting, two rabbits are standing among the flowers, and behind them is a small dark blue star river flower building, and there is a paragraph of text below, which Xia Yan read out slowly:
"I am a little rabbit, born in Ruibo people, black and white, with long rabbit ears, the ears are easy to hang down, so I often carry a small comb with me to comb the messy fur..."
"Oh, so it's a personal biography." Xia Yan said with a smile, and continued to read...
"...I like to draw, but the patriarch of the rabbit said that if I don't grow carrots, everyone will be short of food and hungry, so I am responsible for guarding the farm, growing carrots and glutinous rice every day, only Yun NanOccasionally come to the farm and give me paint made from flower juice, this is my favorite gift."
"...Until later, a beautiful sister came to our planet. She told us that painting is a thing called art. It is very advanced and many people like it. So I and Yun Nan, who has been foolishly accompanying me to paint, painted together.A small flower building with a galaxy pattern."
"I have always yearned for the sky outside, and I like to watch the starry sky, so I painted the galaxy onto the wall. I heard from my beautiful sister that this is called expectation and dream."
"I really like pretty sister, I really like everything she brings to my rabbits..."
In just a few lines, Xia Yan quickly finished reading. She was a little embarrassed at the end, her cheeks flushed slightly, she twisted the paper in her hand, and said to Nuo Yan: "Haha, this... is quite touching."
Nuo Yan cast a slanting glance at her, groaned silently, his eyes clearly said: What to pretend, if you are moved when you hear it, you must pretend that you don't care.
"Hmph." Xia Yan stretched out her hand and flicked its metal head vigorously.
"Oops." Nuo Yan hurriedly dodged, covered his head and ran towards the kitchen, and said, "Yes, yes, the story is very touching, and many people on Star Talk liked it and reposted it!"
"Xing Tan?" Xia Yan, who had chased after him to the kitchen, was taken aback.
Then Nuoyan opened Xingtan's "Yan Yan Travel Route Studio" account, and the first article was Yun Ling's mental journey, which had 200,000 hits and 80,000 comments below.
Xia Yan frowned slightly, this comment volume is high enough.
Popular commenters wrote:
It smells so good: "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooery
God said you can't do it: "I'm also touched, did Yan Yan write it? The words are very simple, as if I experienced it myself."
The mahogany is not red either: "Haha, I am fascinated by the upstairs, it was written by Yan Yan himself, could it be written by the little rabbit?"
...
"Haha, it's really written by a little rabbit!" Xia Yan laughed when she read the comments.
But who would expect a normal person to think that a rabbit can talk and become a human?So everyone thought she wrote it, and praised her simple writing, it was so touching!
"Tutu and the cats and cats made a bet. Post the stories they wrote on Xingtan, and see the number of likes and comments. The Chinese scores at the end of the semester will be ranked according to this." Nuo Yan said.
Xia Yan swipe down, and immediately saw several pieces of fairy tales, all of which received a lot of likes. The rabbit who knows how to draw even thoughtfully matched watercolors, making the account manageable.
"Okay, I thought it was a fairy tale anyway, and no one else could notice anything unusual." Xia Yan moved the virtual page away and started making breakfast for the dumplings.
Today's breakfast is Mipi Chunbing.
The slurry made from rice grinding is flattened and steamed to make thin, transparent rice cakes, which can be rolled with various vegetables and meat.
Steam the beef, boil the green shrimp until it turns red, peel off the shell, and put it aside for later use, followed by shredded carrots, bean sprouts, shredded cabbage, and shredded cabbage. Slightly blanch the bean sprouts with water until soft, and mix all kinds of shredded beef with shredded beef, wrapped in rice skin.
"It's delicious, the little milk cats will like it." Nuo Yan flattered at the side.
"You can't eat it either, why would you find it delicious?" Xia Yan deliberately poked it open.
"The food made by the master must be the most delicious!" Nuo Yan replied confidently.
"Pfft." Xia Yan laughed, and began to prepare more flavors.
The bunnies want to be vegetarian, so they cut the tender green squash into fan shapes, blanch them and stir them with various shredded vegetables. Afraid it would be too monotonous and tasteless, Xia Yan specially added lime sauce and tomato sauce.
The lotus root slices are chopped into slices, sprinkled with sweet-scented osmanthus honey, and wrapped in rice skins. The yellow osmanthus is very attractive.
And the happiness of the little milk cats is very simple, shrimp!eat shrimp!So the shrimp meat was placed at the bottom of the rice skin, and Xia Yan carefully spread a layer of shredded vegetables on top.
Hey, tell you to meow and howl all day long not to eat vegetables.
The rice skin is almost non-existent, and the ingredients wrapped inside can be clearly seen. It is delicate and beautiful. Xia Yan tasted a roll, and it was really fresh and tender. The fragrance of vegetables filled her mouth, the most original deliciousness.
Of course breakfast should be accompanied by something to drink, and she was tired of drinking milkshakes, so Xia Yan cooked a big pot full of hot soy milk, the soy milk was hot, and it was just right to go with the slightly warm rice skin spring pancakes.
"For baby vegetables, try to choose sandy soil with good drainage, but ordinary fertile land is fine..." Yun He, as the head of the clan, got up early in the morning to mutter.
"So... don't worry too much about the soil quality of the land, but pay more attention to the frequency of irrigation???" Her last sentence immediately raised her voice.
Xia Yan was adding sugar to the soy milk, stirring vigorously with a big spoon, she tilted her head and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Harm, it's nothing." Yun He put down the book, walked to her side, and said dejectedly: "I thought the quality of the soil was the most important thing for baby vegetables, so I chose it sincerely, but ignored irrigation, thinking that once every half a month would be enough..”
Xia Yan scooped up a bowl of soy milk and put it in her hand, and asked puzzledly, "Didn't the optical brain page connected to the multi-functional excavator remind you?"
The multi-functional excavator has a fixed app, as long as the optical brain is downloaded and logged in, it will tell you the fixed time for watering and sowing.
After taking a few sips, Yun He yelled hard: "Remind this rabbit! But I asked it if it must irrigate at this time, and it said that it can choose the time by itself... I, I chose it myself."
As he spoke, his voice weakened, aggrieved.
Xia Yan shook her head without saying anything, and started to bring stacks of rice skin spring rolls to the dining table.
Yun He followed behind and said repeatedly: "Xia Yan, you are very useful in starting this school! I didn't know what the line spacing was before, and I didn't even know the professional vocabulary on the multi-purpose excavator."
"Then you have to study hard and teach more clansmen." Xia Yan replied.
"En!" Yun He nodded repeatedly.
Dumplings, get up sleepy, line up to wash your face in the paw bathroom, and come back for breakfast.
"Lotus root slices taste like sweet-scented osmanthus! It's so delicious!" Ai Xue exclaimed.
"Before, I only thought that lotus root slices looked strange, but I didn't expect that they could be eaten." Yun Ling also sighed.
strangeness?
Maybe it's because the probability of hearing "strange" is quite high these days, Xia Yan is very sensitive, as soon as she hears it, she goes up and asks: "Did you think it was strange before?"
"Yeah." Yun Ling replied: "I felt weird when I first ate it, but it's fine after eating."
Ai Xue was full, and jumped onto Xia Yan's bed in three steps and two steps, while Xia Yan was staring out the window blankly, lost in thought.
"What? Did you notice something too?" Ai Xue asked while lying on her lap.
Only then did Xia Yan come back to her senses, and said: "Yes, I was wondering if the special way of eating hot pot made everyone feel strange."
Ai Xue flicked her tail and rolled on the bed, "That's not all I thought of, the sesame sauce and the pepper in the hot pot base, none of the interstellar residents have eaten before, maybe it's because of a variety of strange and strange elements mixed together, so that everyone's first feeling is strange."
Xia Yan was a little unwilling, "No matter how strange it is, it will be replaced by the deliciousness of the food! The food is strange, but it is delicious!"
Seeing that she couldn't convince Xia Yan, Ai Xue stepped on the soft quilt and ran in front of her, looked straight at her and said, "I said there is a stewed fish scale with old tree bark, it smells like milk, is it strange to you?"
"..."
"Hello, Xing Tao's comment function has been activated." After a moment of confrontation between one person and one cat, a notification sounded, and Xia Yan almost rushed to the optical brain, and clicked on the self-heating hot pot comment of the store.
After seeing the comments, she had to admit what Asher said:
"The way to eat it is so strange, eat with vegetables?"
"It's numb, it has a very special fragrance, but it tastes good."
"I've never tasted this kind of food before. It's weird and has no brains."
"Why is it called hot pot? Is there any special meaning?"
...
"This..." Xia Yan swept down the rows, and was surprised to find that the problem she had struggled with for so many days turned out to be... as a new type of hot pot, will everyone not accept it for a while??
That's it???
It is not unreasonable to think about it carefully. There is no hot pot in the interstellar, and the self-heating hot pot needs to be eaten out of the food instead of soup. This alone has innovated the way of eating food, not to mention the never-before-appeared sesame sauce,Pepper is used as a medicinal material...
"I think there are more reasons than these, but at least it's a direction." Ai Xue said in a deep voice.
Xia Yan walked to the window, fiddled with Jasmine for a while, and agreed with this sentence. Now they only saw a few short comments, there must be more reasons.
"But... do you think the self-heating hot pot is delicious?"
After she finished speaking, Ai Xue placed a comment in front of her, which read:
Li Li: "Haha, it's really strange to eat, but I still want to eat after eating. It's like an addiction. Yan Yan is awesome!"
St. Noli College, inside Mu Si's dormitory.
In just one morning, the situation in the dormitory changed dramatically.
In the beginning, Mu Si took pictures of two boxes of self-heating hot pot on the Internet, and when they arrived early in the morning, she took out one box for breakfast, happily pulled out the heating bar, and gurgled to heat it up.
With the lid lifted, the delicious "hot pot" can be eaten, and she picked up the chopsticks to eat the shrimp balls.
I have never tasted the spicy taste, but fortunately, the shrimp balls are fresh, tender and delicious, which is a perfect match with the weird spicy taste!
However, her roommate's acceptance was not so high. Lu Qiaoqiao came over to have a look, ate a few pieces of potato chips, said, "I've never eaten such a thing before", and left. She was so scared that she quickly covered the box, for fear of being seen by Bai Feng.
Bai Feng's eyes are harsh, and he has extremely high requirements for food, so he can't catch her eyes easily. The self-heating hot pot tastes strange, so he might have a venomous tongue!
Now it's noon, and Mu Si is writing a review of the self-heating hot pot, but hears Lu Qiaoqiao throwing potato chips with a "pop".
"What's the matter? Don't you like this taste?" Mu Si was puzzled.
Lu Qiaoqiao frowned, "I don't know why, these potato chips are tasteless."
"Ah?" Mu Si quickly walked to her side, looked at her face, and said, "Aren't you sick?"
"No, it's just that the potato chips don't taste good, so I want to eat something else." Lu Qiaoqiao pouted.
"What do you want to eat? I'll help you buy it in the cafeteria!" Mu Si said.
Lu Qiaoqiao took a fixed look at her, dawdled for a while, and said under Mu Si's urging: "I just think your self-heating hot pot...is very tasty."
...
"Come, come, try this mutton again."
"Wow, it's so delicious. To be honest, I don't like the smell of mutton, but this one is delicious!"
"Hey, Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum is delicious too!"
"It feels good, doesn't it? The more you eat, the more you want to eat?" Mu Si typed the last line of comments, clicked send, and then went to Lu Qiaoqiao's side.
At this time, Lu Qiaoqiao was eating self-heating hot pot full of praise, and every time he ate a new dish, he would burst into sighs, Rainbow Fart was even more high-end than Mu Si.
"I feel like I've found a new gourmet pursuit." Lu Qiaoqiao looked serious.
Mu Si: "..."
Going a little too far, sister.
"Bang" the door of the dormitory was pushed open, Bai Feng came in, brought a new product from the campus pastry shop - cherry cream pie, and said while putting things down: "This one tastes good, it's just at noon, hurry up and try it."
But when she turned around, she saw Lu Qiaoqiao and Mu Si with red mouths.
"Is this the self-heating hot pot?" Bai Feng asked, pointing to the box behind them.
The light green box is as big as a noodle bowl, but the food is shallower, there should be another layer underneath, and there is a small hole next to it that needs to be removed. This is probably a self-heating device.
"It's a self-heating hot pot." Lu Qiaoqiao answered what she was thinking.
"Let me try it." Bai Feng said as he took out his chopsticks, and Lu Qiaoqiao stepped aside.
And Mu Si looked at all this nervously. Bai Feng lived on Titan Star since she was a child, and she has seen all kinds of new things, so she is very picky about her taste.Strange, but Bai Feng's poisonous tongue...
Bai Feng picked out a vegetable ball and put it in his mouth.
"How?" Mu Si asked nervously.
Bai Feng didn't answer immediately, but ate another piece of bamboo shoot, chewed it, and swallowed it.
"It's delicious," she said.
Mu Si's eyes widened, feeling very surprised, others said it was strange, but from Bai Feng's mouth, she actually heard good reviews?
"Don't look at me like that." Bai Feng spread out his hands, "The taste of Ma Ma should be pepper, as far as I know, it is mainly used for medicinal materials, and the soup has a particularly sweet and greasy taste, I have never tasted it."
"In short... the taste is very innovative, and I want to eat it after eating it."
[Review] Li Li: "My roommate said that there are many ingredients that everyone doesn't know. Maybe this is why everyone thinks it's weird!"
Xia Yan looked at this comment, the corner of her mouth curled up, and the big stone in her heart fell to the ground.
"Since everyone is accepting new food, there seems to be nothing to worry about." Ai Xue said lying on her lap.
"Improve." Xia Yan spat out two words.
"What?" Ai Xue almost exploded when she heard this, improve?The slogan and pictures are all ready, so the boss will tell her that the product has changed?
She is a part-time job, so easy for her!
"Okay, it's not a big change." Xia Yan rubbed her stomach to comfort her, and said what she was thinking: "I suddenly discovered that the original design idea of the self-heating hot pot was wrong, maybe we can return it to its original appearance."
"The original appearance?" Ai Xue didn't understand.
"Yes, we have advanced food preservation technology, of course we must restore it to its original appearance!" Xia Yan said with a smile.
