Mecha Era for Kitchen

"He can't drink at all...Chen Zikai, you are really..." Olivia looked at her brother who was walking towards the back garden a few minutes ago, saying 'Going upstairs', now lying flat on the bed , speechless, pursed his mouth, and smoothed his loose long hair, "But you are really capable! Tell me, how did you let Kano drink the wine? He usually doesn't know anything about things like wine. hide away."

Chen Zikai slumped his shoulders: "I put the red wine in the dish...I didn't know it before, he will be fine, right?"

"It's okay, it's okay, what can he do!" Olivia waved his hands indifferently, and comforted, "It's just a big ice cube that turned into a big ice cube that can't walk steadily and can't tell the direction."

"..." This description is really apt, as expected of Kano's biological sister.

Olivia seemed to have suddenly remembered something, turned her head and asked Chen Zikai next to her: "You use red wine for cooking? It's so amazing!! I thought things like wine can only be used for drinking."

"Well, it's used as an ingredient. In fact, many dishes taste better when seasoned with wine."

"That's it..." Olivia pursed her lips, and decided to achieve her goal of canceling the mech training, "Is there any more lunch?"

"Yes, in the small restaurant downstairs, do you want to eat?"

"Well! Let's go! Go eat!"

Chen Zikai looked at Sevis who got off the bed: "What about your brother?"

"Oh, it's going to be all right, don't worry! He'll probably wake up at night!" Olivia had already run out of Kano's room after speaking halfway, "Hurry up, I'm hungry !"

Before Chen Zikai followed Olivia out of the room, he looked at Kano's face that would not calm down even after falling asleep. Thinking of the huge close-up of this face in front of his eyes just now, he sighed silently in his heart ——This man looks too good-looking!

Chen Zikai had already eaten lunch, so he just served Olivia a plate of rice, and reheated the red wine stewed beef brisket—although Olivia has been impatiently saying that this is what a servant should do, Mr. Chef Serving yourself is just too awkward.But Chen Zikai really likes the feeling of being in contact with ingredients, even if it's just a bowl of rice, it will make him feel very happy.

He washed his hands, put his hands on the dining table, and saw that Olivia was far from her brother, and also from the goddess of elegance at the dinner party, the corners of his mouth could not be restrained. She bent slightly: "By the way, Olivia, what's up this afternoon? I want to go out for a stroll."

"Are you going out? Where are you going? I'll ask the housekeeper to send you off."

"What's the nearest street to here?"

"Huh? You're going shopping." Olivia picked up a piece of beef brisket, put it in her mouth with rice, and smacked her lips in satisfaction. "Let me talk to the housekeeper and let them take you there."

"Okay, that's troublesome."

"You are our chef! What's the matter!"

The maglev driver of the Seves family put Chen Zikai on a bustling commercial street, and asked him if he needed to accompany him. After getting a negative answer, he and Chen Zikai set a time to return to the Seves house. I said goodbye to him respectfully and drove away.

Chen Zikai put his hands in his pockets, strolling on the street - the street structure of s[-] and Tianlanxing are different, but there is no difference between the people and shops on the street, they are all bright and bright, with a very modern and advanced technology. futuristic breath.

But... the heterogeneous is not without...

In a very inconspicuous place, there is a very small storefront. The store door is about the size of an ordinary person's home, and it does not have the function of inductive door opening. Chen Zikai opened it manually.The space in the store is as narrow as the front, just a long one, which doesn't seem to be as wide as the aisle in Seves's castle.

The owner of this store is an old man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He looks very old and his face is full of wrinkles.He poked his head out from behind the counter in a dark corner when he heard the sound of Chen Zikai opening the store door. His voice was rough, like the rotation of a chain that hadn't been lubricated for many years: "Hello, sir."

Chen Zikai felt that the atmosphere of this dimly lit shop was a bit strange, but he was very courageous, and replied with a smile: "Hello." He looked around the shop again, and asked habitually, "Boss, What are you selling here?"

The boss didn't answer, and slowly disappeared behind the counter. After half a minute, he reappeared from behind the counter with a tattered book-like thing in his hand.

...Did you go to find something behind the counter just now... The boss is too short, he thought he was invisible for no reason...

"This is "A Brief History of the Development of the Imperial Chefs Association". It is out of print. Are you interested, sir?"

Hearing the title of this book, Chen Zikai's eyes lit up, and he said regretfully, "I have no money..."

The old man didn't give up, and said, "Don't be kidding, you look like a rich man."

Chen Zikai touched his pocket and made a helpless gesture, indicating that he was really penniless.

The old man gave a 'quack quack' laugh, and pointed to the white magnetic card that Chen Zikai carried in his pocket with a corner showing: "Let me take a look and see?"

"what?"

The old man didn't answer him, bent down, rummaged behind the counter for a while, took out a weird machine that was covered with dust, and straightened up again: "This is the latest payment machine in the alliance. You can check the amount of money in your ID card."

Chen Zikai: "..."

It just looks like an old antique thing on earth... pretending to be the latest equipment... Grandpa, you are here to fool people... But, the identity card still has this function?It looks like a combination of a bank card and an ID card on Earth... No, it should be much more advanced than an ID card and a bank card. There must be other uses that he doesn't know yet.

As if he had seen what Chen Zikai was thinking, the old man smiled "quack quack" again: "Young man, just swipe in the card slot yourself, don't worry, I won't touch your magnetic card."

With a skeptical mind, Chen Zikai swiped his magnetic card on the groove of the machine that was full of dust and even had small spider webs on the corners, and then quickly withdrew his hand.

The old man didn't seem to notice his movements, but just stared at the small display screen behind the machine: "Young man, I said you were just lying to me, look, 5000 million."

"5000 million?!" Chen Zikai looked at his magnetic card in surprise, then at the machine, "You're talking nonsense..."

Seeing that he didn't believe it, the boss stretched out his skinny arms and turned the machine tremblingly to show Chen Zikai: "Look, I won't lie."

Chen Zikai took a closer look, and there was really a 5 on the gray screen, followed by seven 7s...

This machine is nonsense!When did he get so much money!

The old man didn't even look at Chen Zikai, and said to himself: "This book is yours. It's a good deal. I've deducted the money."

Chen Zikai, who was still shocked at why his identity card had so much money, heard the last sentence, the corner of his mouth twitched obviously, and almost jumped up from the counter——Grandpa, you are a bit too self-assertive right? !Didn't you want to check the money in your identity card... Actually entered the price in advance... This is a blatant fraud...!

How dare you say 'don't worry, young man'... that's really treacherous...

Although I have no concept of money here, but such a small booklet costs 50... This is too deceitful!

But before he made a sound, the old man seemed to know what he was going to say, and immediately tried to widen his eyes that were almost covered by the wrinkles on his face: "Don't feel disadvantaged, this book is very useful! "

Chen Zikai took from the old man the book that was stained with oil and was a little damaged at the edges, and responded perfunctorily: "Really... I hope it's useful." How to use things, the money has already gone out, and it will definitely not come back, so I will remember it next time.

"That's for sure, you'll know when you look at it, and you've earned it!"

Earned by him...? !

Chen Zikai's handsome face grimaced. He has always been a good-natured young man who respects the old and loves the young. Even if he was slaughtered for 50 yuan, he still doesn't know how to get angry with a bad old man—forget it. I was driven by curiosity, almost no one came in, and it was not easy for this old man.

In fact, the most thorough key to offset his anger is that there are 5000 million in the card...! 5000!What kind of concept is that... Although he has never come into contact with the common currency in this place, but since he entered the profession of chef, no, since he was born, he has never seen such a long string of money!

And this "A Brief History of the Development of the Imperial Chefs Association" is really something he really wants to buy... It's almost the price of two potatoes... Seeing that he has already used up so many potatoes and other ingredients in Seves's house Come on, 50... He just endured it!

Anyway, he didn't know where the money came from. If it was Kano who sent it in for him, it would be his salary for cooking.

He was holding that little torn book, and he couldn't utter the word "thank you" on his lips.I had no choice but to bow to the old man as a greeting, then turned around and opened the store door and left.

The old man looked at the back of Chen Zikai leaving, and then hid in the dark corner again, and something seemed to shake behind him.
