Chapter 47 Yan Family Dinner
Chapter 47 Yan Family Dinner
Back at the Yan family home, Lu Cheng and the others piled up the sweet potatoes they had harvested that day in the yard. Just as they were about to leave, Lin Shushu called them back.
"Let's have dinner together tonight. Thank you for your help today."
Yan He also tried to persuade them to stay, saying, "Brother Lu Cheng, why don't you stay and have dinner with us? Let me tell you, the meat from the Gugu beast last night was delicious." As she finished speaking, she unconsciously licked her lips.
Lu Cheng and the others hesitated only for a moment before readily agreeing. After all, they had listened to Yan He's ramblings all day and were curious about what it would taste like.
Lin Shushu had promised to teach Yan He cooking skills, and she wasn't just making empty promises; anyone else who was interested could also learn.
Yan Li was very interested, and he carefully wrote down all the steps Lin Shushu took to cook yesterday. Now that Lin Shushu was willing to teach him, he was naturally eager to do so.
In addition to the four Gugu Beasts that Yan Qing and his brother had caught, Lu Cheng also brought out a Meimei Beast that he had hunted himself. This animal has a straight back and waist, a large but not drooping belly, straight limbs, strong bones, and a pair of slightly curved horns.
Lin Shushu directed everyone to kill and clean the prey, and then purified it in front of everyone.
Seeing her actions, Yan Qing confirmed his guess from last night. His father and brother probably hadn't noticed that the meat from the Gugu beast last night had been 100% purified.
As far as he knew, no one in the entire interstellar space had ever been able to do this, but Lin Shushu had done it, which meant that her Purifier level was at least level nine.
Looking at his younger brother, who was enthusiastically learning to cook, Yan Qing couldn't help but marvel at the boy's good fortune in attracting such an extraordinary person.
At this moment, he was unaware that, because of Lin Shushu and Mo Ze, the planet where he had lived for nearly 20 years was about to undergo earth-shattering changes. These changes would be enough to shock the entire interstellar space.
With limited ingredients, Lin Shushu didn't teach any overly complicated methods.
Besides stewing and stir-frying last night, Gugu Beast added a new cooking method today: braising. Meimei Beast, on the other hand, used it for clear stewing.
In Lin Shushu's view, this simple approach was purely out of necessity. After all, the interstellar world lacked the necessary ingredients. No matter how good a chef is, without enough ingredients, they can't create many variations.
I was able to do all this today thanks to the discovery of ginger, wild onions, and wild garlic yesterday.
But the interstellar people are different; in their understanding, such a simple approach is already an extraordinary innovation.
When the last dish of clear water boiled with sheep meat was served, everyone had swallowed their saliva countless times.
Yan He looked at the dishes on the table in front of her, somewhat incredulous. Had she really made these? Did she actually have such talent?
"Well done, it must taste great too." Lin Shushu praised generously. Throughout the entire process, she only had to talk; all the physical work was done by Yan Li and his son Yan He.
After sitting down at two tables, seeing everyone staring blankly at the food in front of them, Lin Shushu had no choice but to speak up, "What are you all standing there for? Let's eat!"
These words were like a signal to open the floodgates; in an instant, the table was abuzz with activity, with only the fleeting shadows of hands reaching for food. While it wasn't exactly a fight, the speed was certainly impressive.
After eating and drinking their fill, everyone slumped in their chairs, rubbing their stomachs.
Lu Cheng and the others finally got to eat the Gugu Beast meat that Yan He had been nagging about all day, and immediately understood why he was so long-winded.
And the clear water and the meat of the sheep were surprisingly free of any fishy or gamey smell. Thinking back to the sheep meat they had eaten before, they felt like they had truly suffered. Why hadn't they noticed anything wrong with it before?
Questioning Yan He, understanding Yan He, becoming Yan He. Now, they also very much want to tell others about the shock that today's meal brought them.
Seeing that everyone looked like they were stuffed, Lin Shushu deliberately said loudly to Mo Ze, "Mo Ze, it seems that no one can eat anymore. We two will finish the sweet potatoes that were just buried in the fire."
Mo Ze smiled indulgently. He had noticed Shu Shu's actions earlier, so he hadn't eaten too much. Besides, he wasn't about to fight with these naive girls for food.
Before eating, while the fire was still warm, Lin Shushu had Lu Cheng and the others bury dozens of sweet potatoes in it, which were now emitting a strong aroma.
Smelling the strong aroma, everyone stopped lying down and got up to look around the fire.
"Don't pull me, I can still eat." Yan He jumped up immediately upon hearing Lin Shushu's words, as if he wasn't the one who had just eaten his fill.
He squatted down and brushed away the remaining ashes, revealing a steaming sweet potato inside. The skin of the sweet potato was wrinkled, clearly indicating that it was fully cooked.
The aroma became even stronger, and everyone, disregarding the heat, quickly grabbed one and began peeling it.
Yan He cried out as he was burned, and he kept switching between his left and right hands, but he couldn't bear to put the sweet potato down.
Everyone else did the same, blowing on the sweet potato while peeling it. Finally, someone took the first bite of the roasted sweet potato. "Ah, it smells so good! It's so delicious!"
Immediately, someone chimed in, "Mmm, it's delicious, it smells amazing!"
Seeing everyone's reaction, Lin Shushu sighed at the allure of roasted sweet potatoes. In her past life, she especially loved buying a roasted sweet potato on cold winter days, as it warmed her hands and satisfied her taste buds.
Ye Lin savored the taste of the roasted sweet potato in his mouth, inwardly cursing himself for being foolish. Why hadn't he thought to roast it before? What a waste!
Everyone beamed with joy at the sight of the mountain of sweet potatoes they had harvested today, knowing they would be able to eat them for a long time to come.
After all the roasted sweet potatoes were divided up, everyone's eyes were fixed on the pile of sweet potatoes on one side.
Lu Cheng and Yan Qing discussed giving half to Lin Shushu and Mo Ze, since they wouldn't have known that sweet potatoes could be eaten this way without the two of them.
Lin Shushu refused. Finding sweet potatoes excited her, but she had no intention of hoarding them. After all, she had secretly kept a few seedlings during the day's harvest, which she would plant in her spatial dimension that evening, so she could eat them whenever she wanted.
When leaving the Yan family, Lu Cheng and the others were somewhat reluctant to leave, but they were also eager to go home. Everything they had experienced today had broadened their horizons, and they couldn't wait to go back and share it with their families.
The new foods and novel cooking methods quickly caused a sensation in a small circle after being spread by Lu Cheng and others.
Lin Shushu and the others paid no attention to any of this. At this moment, the two of them were consolidating their cultivation in the space.
Today's purification of the forest nearly exhausted their spiritual energy. Although they were somewhat depleted, the effects were obvious. Both of their cultivation levels showed signs of improvement.
That night, both of them were immersed in cultivation.
Destruction before construction has always been an excellent way to get promoted.
Before dawn, Lin Shushu and Mo Ze opened their eyes one after the other, with joyful smiles on their faces.
It worked!
Lin Shushu finally reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, while Mo Ze reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
Mo Ze pulled Lin Shushu into his arms, and the two listened to each other's heartbeats, feeling happy for one another.
