Coming to the StarCraft to Be a Kindergarten Teacher: Perfect Transformation

Finally we got home, and Weier said softly, "I'll go back and wash my face first, and come back later." Looking at her slightly red eyes, I knew she had just cried. After all, little girls are very concerned about their image. I nodded in understanding and responded gently, "Okay, go ahead, and come over to eat after you wash up."

I can sense Wei'er's inner delicacy and sensitivity, and she longs to present her most perfect self to others. Perhaps it's just a girl's nature, always wanting to maintain that beauty and elegance. I'm willing to give her enough space and time to sort out her emotions and face the rest of her life in the best possible state.

After Wei'er left, I reached out and gently pressed the door lock. It clicked softly and then slowly opened. I pushed the door open and walked into the room. The first thing I saw was the familiar kitchen layout. I casually placed the vegetables I'd bought on the counter, then turned to the refrigerator and carefully took out the discounted Cuckoo's feet I'd bought at the store yesterday. These Cuckoo's feet were carefully selected ingredients. Due to the gap in culinary culture, many ingredients are considered inedible by interstellar people. Now all I have to do is wait for them to thaw and I can start cooking!

After completing all these preparations, I strolled to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and splashed fresh water on my face. Feeling the coolness of the water, I couldn't help but sigh: Gaining weight makes you sweat so easily! By comparison, the temperature on Blue Planet is much higher, while Ceres maintains a pleasant 30°C year-round. Aside from the plantation areas and rainforest, where it can get a bit humid and stuffy, the climate elsewhere is very comfortable and pleasant.

This made my desire to lose weight even stronger! After all, on Blue Planet, obese people still make up a significant portion of the population. However, since arriving in Interstellar, whether during my hospital stay, or these past few days while researching in the bookstore or buying groceries, I've been surprised to find not a single overweight person in the hospital, in the bookstore, or on the street! The gazes they gave me were filled with curiosity and confusion, and it was incredibly uncomfortable. Despite this, I remained convinced that I could successfully lose weight and escape those strange looks.

After getting myself ready, I headed to the kitchen and found the cuckoo's feet were almost defrosted. Looking at the groceries I'd bought today, I decided to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded potatoes, and vegetable soup. As for cuckoo's feet, I wasn't sure what Wei'er liked, so I decided to use a popular recipe on Xiaomoushu on my phone. After some research, I decided to make braised chicken feet with potatoes (from now on, when I'm alone, I'll use Blue Star names for all ingredients; when there are others, I'll use StarCraft names. Don't worry about the names; it's all the same thing). Today, I'll try two things with potatoes. Since this single dish is the most labor-intensive of the bunch, I started by blanching the chicken feet in cold water. Since StarCraft didn't have cooking wine, I used wine instead. Yesterday, while shopping, I happened to notice a pile of unused ginger and garlic in the corner. It had a strong aroma, but because its flavor was so unique, the store hadn't bought any of it. It had become shrunken and wilted, and the owner was about to throw it away. It was a shame to waste so much ginger and garlic, and since this was exactly what I needed, I asked the shopkeeper if he could sell it to me. After some bargaining, I finally managed to buy the whole bag of ginger and garlic for 5 star coins.

Then, I deftly added the three essential ingredients for removing fishy smells—sliced ginger, chopped green onions, and cooking wine—into the pot one by one. The addition of these ingredients made the once clear water cloudy, but also gave off a tempting aroma.

Once the water is boiling, quickly remove the chicken feet and rinse them in cold water. This may seem simple, but it's crucial. It helps the chicken feet firmer and more elastic, resulting in a better texture.

Next, pour a suitable amount of cooking oil into the wok. Once the oil is heated, add the chopped ginger and garlic and sauté until fragrant. Then, add some chili peppers. These chili peppers are a special ingredient from a distant planet, with a rich, spicy flavor that leaves a lasting impression. Since interstellar condiments like doubanjiang (fermented bean paste) don't exist, this step was omitted.

Once all the ingredients are stir-fried and fragrant, add the prepared chicken feet to the pan and quickly stir them evenly with a spatula. In just two minutes, the chicken feet are coated in the spicy and delicious sauce, and the color is bright red and attractive.

Then, add appropriate amount of salt, soy sauce and chicken bouillon to the pot in turn to season. After stirring again, each chicken foot fully absorbs the flavor of the seasoning and becomes more delicious.

Finally, add enough boiling water to the pot, cover, and begin the long simmering process. Over these 20 minutes, the chicken feet and the various spices blend together, emitting a richer and richer aroma. Once the chicken feet appear tender and flavorful, add the potatoes. After another 5 minutes, the aroma gradually fills the room. Time flies, and finally, the long-awaited chicken feet are ready!

These chicken feet are incredibly delicious, mouth-watering. A gentle bite reveals the juicy, tender meat, and the spiciness is irresistible, making you want to devour them bite after bite. This dish not only satisfies the taste buds, but also reveals the joy of cooking and the infinite satisfaction that comes from delicious food. Fortunately, while interstellar food culture may be fragmented, basic ingredients still exist. It's just that interstellar people find cooking too cumbersome, and those who can afford it mostly rely on nutrient solution to maintain their basic needs.

I carefully lifted the lid from the pot, and immediately a burst of hot steam erupted, mingling with a rich aroma. I took a deep breath, savoring the mouth-watering flavor. Then, I gently picked up a chicken foot with my chopsticks and carefully examined its golden skin, as if I could see through the thin layer to the tender, juicy meat. Then, I carefully placed the chicken foot on a plate and evenly sprinkled some chopped green onions on it to make the dish look even more enticing.

Just then, the crisp ring of the doorbell shattered the silence. A surge of joy filled my heart, figuring Wei'er might have finished washing up and was ready to go out. I quickly dropped my work, trotted toward the door, and eagerly opened it. Sure enough, Wei, freshly washed, was standing before me. Curious, she asked, "What's that sweet smell?" Then, with a hint of something in her nose, she followed the scent all the way to the kitchen.
