Mecha Era for Kitchen

Chen Zikai's head was still a little dizzy until he got on Sevis's military maglev vehicle.

I... was taken away from the detention center so smoothly?

In fact, he still wanted to say goodbye to Song Yiming—forget about Reinrich, this man whose freezing level is two levels lower than Seves has never given himself a good face.

But having said that, the beautiful major general in front of me is really useful. It seems that the status of the soldiers here is relatively detached, and it is so effective to say a word.

Sitting opposite Chen Zikai, Seves looked at Chen Zikai's face, which was sometimes confused and sometimes smirking, who was dressed in dirty clothes, and slightly raised his eyebrows in distaste, but because the major general himself was not very good at making all kinds of expressions Function, so this eyebrow raising movement is actually so small that it can be ignored.

The driver of the suspension car was also an officer, wearing the same sky-blue military uniform as Song Yiming Rhine, and seemed to be Sevez's secretary.While controlling the suspension vehicle, he turned his head respectfully: "Major General, where are we going?"

"go back."

As soon as it came out of the government square, the maglev vehicle, which was still floating at a height of [-] centimeters above the ground before, had four extra wheels, and it began to look like a normal bridge driving on the earth in the [-]st century. car.

Chen Zikai was curious, but he didn't dare to ask.

Instead, Major General Servis, who was looking at him, understood his doubts, and explained coldly: "All the ground in the Government Square can be used as a maglev vehicle track."

No wonder they keep talking about maglev trains but they have never seen the tracks... Chen Zikai silently complained, it's so advanced...here.But if the entire square could be used as a track... that would be too extravagant! !

The maglev train is synonymous with speed in Chen Zikai's mind belonging to the earth, and it is the same here. Ten minutes later, the car carrying a major general of the imperial army and an unknown person stopped at the edge of a private green grassland.

When Chen Zikai followed Seves out of the car, he stretched his neck and looked around curiously - what caught his eyes was a white building that looked like a small bungalow on the earth, and a 50-year-old man stood at the door , a woman dressed as a housekeeper.She looked at the two young men who got out of the military suspension vehicle after it stopped at the door of her house, and bowed slightly in a respectful tone: "Third young master, you are back."

"Well, Aunt Mary." The major general in military uniform didn't show any expression even when facing the old housekeeper who had been helping at home for many years, but he still responded politely.

"Why did the third young master come back suddenly at noon today?"

"By the way." Sevis didn't explain much, took off his military jacket and handed it to Mary, and walked into the house.

"Then what type of nutritional supplement do you need to prepare for lunch today? Do you need two servings?" Mary is definitely a competent housekeeper, and she won't ask too much when the young master brings a stranger back, just doing her own duties.

"No need." Sevis flatly rejected Mary's proposal, and after entering the room, he turned his head slightly and glanced at Chen Zikai who was still in a daze, "You go cook."

"Cooking?" Mary was surprised. This person who came back with the young master seemed to be picked up from a garbage dump, but he actually knew how to cook? !

"Ask Mary to take you to the freezer." Sevis stopped looking at him, turned and walked upstairs, "Remember to wash your hands first."

Chen Zikai looked at the dark hands that had been holding the cloth bag, then looked at Mary's puzzled face, and grinned.In fact, he was a little blushed by the phrase 'wash your hands first', but because there was a lot of dust on his face, no one could see it.

Mary came over to wash her hands and lead the way for Chen Zikai who changed into the white coat she had found. Chef Chen, who had just entered the house through the main entrance, walked out through the side door before he had looked carefully at the furnishings in Sevis's house.The open space behind Sevez's small bungalow was crowded by two buildings. Mary walked to the gate of the other building which was more than three-quarters smaller than the other building, took out a magnetic card and swiped it. Then he turned around and said to Chen Zikai: "This is the food freezer of this villa. The young master told you to take whatever you need."

"Is the one on the opposite side also a freezer?" Chen Zikai looked around curiously, but Mary gave him a stern look.

"It's the third young master's private training ground, you are absolutely not allowed to go in there."

Chen Zikai shrugged, and then nodded vigorously a few times under Aunt Mary's stern gaze, to show that he knew.Then the whole person's attention was attracted by the freezer with the door wide open...

The internal structure of this huge freezer is no different from the ones Chen Zikai has seen before, except that there are two tall cabinets next to each other, filled with all kinds of... small bottles.Red, green, blue, and purple were placed neatly on shelves, which dazzled him.

"What is this? Is it a new food?" As a chef, Chen Zikai has a special curiosity about all edible unknown objects.

"Nutrient."

This is the nutrient in their mouth?So, it's still a high-tech product?As expected of a major general, there can be so many in one warehouse.

Mary didn't even look at the closets, and led Chen Zikai to continue walking in. The last quarter of the warehouse had what Chen Zikai needed for cooking.

Among those refrigerators that are about half a meter high and two meters wide, more than eight-tenths of the volume are densely packed with... "Potatoes?!"

Why are they all potatoes? !

Mary didn't respond to Chen Zikai's surprised tone—potatoes are the most common thing, and they are also the most sold on S[-] star. In terms of her young master's personality and hobbies, it's not unusual to buy them all and pile them up.

Surrounded by a pile of potatoes, Chen Zikai was picking and picking, while thinking about what he should do for lunch.In his opinion, there are only some common ingredients here, and as a major general, there are only these. It can be seen that the food resources in this big environment are not very rich.

A cook without ingredients is like a soldier without guns and ammunition...

But as the first meal here, the object of service is a major general who doesn't know what kind of army, and Chen Zikai's strong sense of responsibility as a chef inspired his high fighting spirit.The dishes must be innovative, the ingredients must be rare, and the taste must be able to attract others, in order to have a greater chance of surviving here... The culprit who caused him to fall from the mountain and cross through inexplicably - Matsutake, is really a good person s Choice.

Thinking of this, he took out a piece of chicken from the freezer, thought again, and took two carrots—why no green beans?How does he cook rice without green beans?Forget it, it's the same to pick up a good-looking potato... Chen Zikai was talking to himself in his head, and the movements of his hands didn't slow down.He carried another half box of rice, and then said to the housekeeper Mary who stood aside and couldn't understand his actions: "It's almost there, let's go back."

"These...what are you going to do?" In the understanding of housekeeper Mary, these things should not be compatible at all.She is just better at preparing daily nutritional supplements for the third young master of the Seves family - occasionally cooking potatoes.

Chen Zikai looked at Mary, and took it for granted, "Cooking."

The kitchen of Seves’s house is very big—it’s no longer a traditional family kitchen, it’s comparable in size to Chen Zikai’s back kitchen when he worked in a big hotel—but the room in front of him under the banner of “kitchen” is empty, Apart from a few white tables, there is only a set of dozens of props and a few brown closets, which makes it uncomfortable to look at.

Chen Zikai didn't think about anything else, and the first thing he said when he came in was: "Well, do you have a pot?"

Do you have a pot?Do you have a pot?Do you have a pot? !Don't say no...! ! !

Aunt Mary looked at Chen Zikai for a moment, and said with certainty: "If you mean the container with a round bottom... yes."

Chen Zikai breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that there was still a possibility of smooth communication.

Aunt Mary, who handed over a round pot, enthusiastically asked Chen Zikai if he needed his help. Chen Zikai thought about it, and felt that the dishes he was going to make were not complicated, so he shook his head: "No, thank you er, by the way, can you tell me where the salt is?"

"Salt?"

"Well, salt..."

"What is that? Is it the ingredients? You didn't find it in the freezer just now?" Aunt Mary's chubby face was full of surprise and doubt, "Do you want me to take you back to look for it?"

Chen Zikai stopped talking—couldn't the people here not even have salt? !This is impossible... Don't scare him... How can he cook without such basic condiments! ! !

"Well, it's a kind of thin...white...salty...can be considered as condiment."

"Oh! That! You mean No. [-] seasoning agent? We often use it to boil potatoes." Aunt Mary heard Chen Zikai's very "visual" description, and immediately understood what he was talking about. A transparent jar was taken out from the cabinet, "Is this it?"

Chen Zikai took it, unscrewed the lid, dipped a little bit of it with his fingers, and tasted it. It was indeed exactly the same table salt as he usually used in the kitchen.He turned the bottle sideways again and found a white label on it that said 'Flavor No. [-]'.

What seasoning No. [-]!This is obviously salt!Why is a seasoning so rigorous? !Thought it was a science experiment? !

He rolled his eyes, then put the jar aside, took out the matsutake that he had been clutching all morning in the cloth bag, and planned to wash it: "Where is the faucet?"

"Faucet?"

"Where... is the place where the water can come out?..."

"This is an automatic water control table, do you understand these buttons?"

...Actually...I don't quite understand...

Chen Zikai carefully rinsed the fresh matsutake and other vegetables that were stained with mud under the running water, took a knife from the shelf on the wall, kicked out the inedible parts, and replaced it with a normal-sized kitchen knife. The matsutake that reveals the white and plump nature is cut into pieces with an average of less than [-] mm.Mary on the side watched a kitchen knife in Chen Zikai's hand swinging up and down quickly, and her eyes were straightened - even the top chefs I saw in the Seves family's estate in the past, I have never seen such a knife-wielding chef .

The technology is too advanced, and the hands-on ability is too poor.

"Is there a gas stove?" Chen Zikai has now completely despaired of the world and his own generation gap, so there is no need for Mary to ask any more, so he honestly added, "I mean...the thing that can be heated. Very hot..."

"You mean the thermostat?"

"I think it should be..."

With Mary's assistance and guidance, Chen Zikai finally poured clean water into the pot and put the pot on the temperature control table.He waited for the water to boil, first washed the rice, put it into another pot and started to steam the rice; then he took out the chicken that seemed to have been preliminarily processed, chopped it into pieces of different sizes, and served it Put it on the disk for later use; peeled the carrots and potatoes, picked up a few unsliced ​​matsutake, and chopped them into cubes the size of half a finger belly.

After he finished his work, the water in the pot boiled—the automatic temperature control platform in this high-tech era is advanced, and the boiling time is much faster than he imagined.He blanched the cut chicken pieces in boiling water to get rid of the blood and impurities, and then fished them out. He changed the hot water to rinse off the foam on the surface of the chicken pieces, and drained the water.

Chen Zikai changed another pot, put the chicken and chopped green onion and ginger into it, added water and started to simmer.Then she stretched her neck and scanned the closet for [-] seconds. Aunt Mary, who had been standing by the side, finally couldn't take it anymore: "That... sir, what are you looking for?"

"Oil..." Chen Zikai murmured, searched for something for a while, and finally clapped his hands in surprise, "Ah! Here it is!"

He picked up the bottle with No. [-] flavoring agent written on it, turned around and went back to the desk, leaving Aunt Mary staring blankly at the side.

In Chen Zikai's opinion, this automatic temperature control table is really a must-have tool for chefs if it is not that he is not very good at using it. The time for stewing soup and steaming rice has been shortened by more than double.When he decided to stew the soup just now, he roughly calculated the time in his mind. After the fire was boiled, he had to simmer it slowly. And directly took out some advanced weapon and collapsed himself.But just as he turned to ask Mary for a frying pan and a spatula, the semi-finished soup stewed with chicken nuggets, scallion and ginger was already boiling.

Chen Zikai quickly took a spoon to skim off the foam and grease in the soup, then put matsutake slices in, and fumbled to lower the temperature of the temperature control table.

Well, he clapped his hands in satisfaction—now it's time to simmer the soup and fry the rice.

Matsutake fried rice is actually not difficult to make. First, sauté diced matsutake, diced chicken, diced carrot and diced potato with salt and oil until fragrant, serve it out, and then cook it with steamed rice.Fried rice is actually not a difficult technical task, but if you want to make delicious and good-looking fried rice, you also need to have a precise grasp of the heat and ingredients.As a professional five-star chef, Chen Zikai is obviously a master of the middle. He cooks the pot at the right time, adjusts the fire, puts salt, and flips the pot with chic movements, making Mary the housekeeper who is doing nothing on the side look incredulously at this seemingly Still a timid boy.

Why did he become so imposing as soon as he picked up the spatula? !

After Chen Zikai finished frying the matsutake fried rice that he had prepared, he felt that the chicken soup over there was almost done. The matsutake slices left over from the soup were baked.

Serves had been working on the sofa outside for almost an hour, and he was already getting impatient.After he changed into his casual clothes and came downstairs to the hall, he could sit on the sofa with his back to the kitchen and review a few pages of documents expressionlessly at first, but later, he could smell the unique and rich aroma of matsutake wafting into his nose. At that time, he simply put the files away and sat on the sofa in a different direction, concentrating on waiting for the meal.

By the time Chen Zikai brought out the soup, rice, and roast, his beautiful purple eyes had already begun to shimmer—this can be understood as his surprise at the fact that "Chen Zikai really knows how to cook" , it can also be understood that Major General Seves was starved...

Although I have always lived a life of relying on nutrients to supply the energy needed by the body, but when the time comes, I will be hungry without nutritional supplements!

"What is this?" Sevis didn't know whether he was hungry or surprised, but his tone started to soften.

"Matsutake fried rice and matsutake chicken soup." Chen Zikai put a bowl and two plates on the table. He was afraid that the other party would think it was too little, but it seemed that he didn't need to worry about it. "There is also roasted matsutake."

Sevis, who didn't know what 'matsutake' was at all, nodded with a clear look, stopped talking, picked up the spoon and scooped up a spoonful of chicken soup - he was looking at the chicken soup It's weird, I've also drank this kind of thing at high-end banquets or when chefs from S20 were invited to come home.He has always disliked soup and water, nutritional supplements and so on, haven't had enough in [-] years! ?But when the spoon was put into his mouth, a mellow aroma that he had never tasted before filled his mouth.It is also a liquid, but it does not have the monotonous and viscous feeling of nutritional supplements, but has a fragrance and a gentle feeling that penetrates the lungs.

Then turn your attention to the other two plates. The roasted yellow matsutake thin slices are slightly curled up on the pure white plate, one layer horizontally and one vertical, stacked very cleverly; The fried rice is plump and round, and the color matching is simple and lively, which makes people's index fingers move.

"How is this done?"

"Stew..."

"what is this."

"Carrots and potatoes."

"Shouldn't potatoes be boiled?"

"...No, it can also be fried."

"What is it fried with?"

"Salt and oil . . . oh no, I mean seasoning No. [-] and No. [-]."

Rice can do this? !Seves has never seen anything like these two dishes—could it be that he picked up a treasure by accident?The major general, who was immersed in the delicious food, could no longer control his facial expressions very well. The slightly upturned corners of his lips were enough to scare Aunt Mary and Chen Zikai to death.

Chen Zikai shuddered on the sidelines—he did! !See! !Seves! !Laughed! !

It must be an illusion...

Although the beauty, oh, the smiling appearance of the beautiful man is indeed pleasing to the eye, but based on his little understanding of Seves, it is almost impossible for this kind of smile to appear on Seves' face. ! !

Of course, Chen Zikai still couldn't recognize the fact that Servez was just a foodie major general with an elite face.

"It's really good. The dishes you cook are even better than those chefs on S[-]," Sevis, who suddenly entered the mode of "spring breeze blowing on the face", continued to affirm Chen Zikai's cooking skills with a smile. Regardless of the latter's distorted facial expression, his voice became more and more warm, "I'll help you with the identification, and you will cook all the meals here in the future."

The major general was used to the life of commanding people, so he arranged Chen Zikai's current work in one sentence.

Chen Zikai, who was worried about how to make people believe his origin and was tormented because of an identity card, burst into tears and nodded again and again—it's great that someone is willing to help him get an identity card!And that person's attitude towards his unknown origin and not desperately trying to find the answer is simply the best!

Being able to get a job he is most familiar with in this basically completely unfamiliar world, Chen Zikai was so excited that he temporarily abandoned his anxiety, and wanted to rush to Sevis who was still savoring his lunch, and grab him collar, shouting long live Major General Sevez!

The major general who can be impressed by a single lunch is definitely a good guy...!
