Chapter 114 - Friends Coming From Afar
Chapter 114 – Friends Coming From Afar
As if to prove the audience’s conjecture, Ruan Tang fished out the long-stewed bear’s paw, and then covered it with some sauce he made from fish broth, salt, soy sauce, pepper and a little white sugar. Unfortunately, they didn’t have any white sesame seeds on hand now, otherwise sprinkling some over the bear’s paw would make it more fragrant and look more appetizing. Now, he could only substitute it with some chopped green onions.
The red and rosy bear’s paw had been stewed until it was glossy and shiny. With the darkened skin out of the way, only the outer layer full of collagen was exposed. At this time, it seems quite appetizing.
The greedy viewers had already gathered around the bear’s paw and taken a large mouthful of virtual data. They were immediately conquered by the texture, soft and oily but not greasy. The sauce wrapped around that pliable meat slowly flowed from the tip of their tongue. There was a touch of sweetness in the salty savory-ness. The perfectly balanced seasoning easily conquered their taste buds, immersing them in an ocean of deliciousness.
[Xili Mile Mile Xiaoli Li: Ah Ah Ah, delicious!]
[Xiaozhi Meow: Huhuhu, my face stings ... but it’s so delicious ...]
They had barely four dishes and one soup. Worried that it wouldn’t be enough for six people, Ruan Tang also grilled two more fishes.
After the dishes were all ready, the crowd gathered around the square table He Yun Chen made. He Yun Chen only made two stools, so Gu Yang and Chen Ye followed suit and made two stools each as well.
“The food’s ready.” Ruan Tang called everyone for dinner.
No one said anything. They picked up their chopsticks and began to dig in, especially Chen Ye and Gu Yan. Their chopsticks moved so fast, it looked as though there were after images. Chen Yuanwu and Cao Jun were better off. Most of the physical work was done by two soldiers, Chen Ye and Gu Yan, so they didn’t spend a lot of energy. In addition, they were chefs themselves. They had some resistance to good food. Moreover, they were in the presence of Ruan Tang, who they considered their senior and the dignified Marshal He. Thus, they were somewhat reserved while eating.
Seeing the food on the table quickly decrease, He Yun Chen’s face gradually became gloomier at a rate that was visible to the naked eye. Suddenly, a spoonful of spicy rabbit was placed in a bowl in front of him. As soon as he looked up, he was faced with Ruan Tang’s smiling eyes. He Yun Chen’s expression immediately made a turnaround. He picked up the wooden spoon he made and filled Ruan Tang’s bowl with fish soup.
The other four people: ...
What was this suffocating pink bubbly atmosphere?
[Orange Meow Meow: Ow ow ow, how loving! Marshal He’s Boyfriend Power to the MAX!!!]
[A little bit iced up: Tang Tang was also quite intimate there. He even gave food to the Marshal! This old married couple feels, my god, it’s sending jabs to my young girl heart! ]
[Yueyue: Alright! Fine! I’m stunned by his Lotus Pond CP! ]
A table full of dishes was swept away in less than 20 minutes. If it weren’t for the live broadcast, Chen Ye and Gu Yan might have picked up the plates and lick them clean. It was the first time for the two of them to taste Ruan Tang’s cooking. The food was really delicious! They could only hope that their partners could learn from Ruan Tang and make the next twenty days much happier.
However, the program team already arranged a new test for them.
The communicator rang and all six people received a new task at the same time— ‘it is a pleasure to have friends from afar’.
Everyone 😕 ? ? ?
Who’s coming? What are you coming here for? What does it have to do with them?
Just as they were at an absolute loss, a more detailed message arrived. Three days later, there will be mysterious guests coming to visit the Aquamarine Planet. The ten of them, as the Aquamarine’s current “masters”, must prepare a large feast to receive their guests. Finally, this was followed by a friendly reminder—these guests had big appetites.
The group continued to be speechless. This program group was the most talented that they’ve ever seen – when it comes to stirring up trouble!
Despite their reluctance, everyone began to act. Since the banquet was to be prepared jointly, they must determine the menu and ingredients they’ll be using. The menu was of course to be determined by the chefs, and the ingredients will be secured by the soldiers.
It’s just that everyone has only been in the Aquamarine Star for a couple of days, and they weren’t very familiar with this ecological area. They didn’t know much about the plants and animals that could be used as ingredients. Chen Yuanwu and Cao Jun thought it over for a bit and came to a decision. They should just listen to Ruan Tang. After all, who had better qualifications and skills than Ruan Tang?
Even Zha Panpan and Shi Mingxu’s groups came together after receiving the information. Obviously, they also had the same idea as Chen Yuanwu and Cao Jun.
Only, when they found that Chen Yuanwu and Cao Jun, whose camps were the farthest away, were also here, they looked surprised. After learning that they had freeloaded food off Ruan Tang, the four could not help but internally wring their hands in disappointment. If they had known earlier, they would have come too. They unexpectedly missed out on such a big meal!
[Meow Qing: Hahahaha, I’m dying! Qiu Ming’s expression cracked in an instant. It was like I could hear his inner cry—why didn’t you call me over!]
[Han Ye: It’s so funny, Shi Mingxu looked at Cao Jun with such a betrayed expression ... ha ha ha ha ha]
In any case, in order to welcome the guests, it was necessary to prepare carefully.
Ruan Tang first asked where each of them lived, what the terrain was, if there were any plants growing nearby, and what animals could be used for hunting.
There was basically only fish and shrimp in their camp by the stream. There was also some wild mustard growing on the side of the stream, but nothing else. It wasn’t enough to make a banquet. They would need to use the ingredients around every camp.
Shi Mingxu’s pair lived by the lake, surrounded by many large animals. But they could not name any of them. There were also several apple trees growing nearby. Cao Jun’s pair lived in the grasslands. There were many small bushes there, with strawberries and peppers, and small animals such as rabbits and pheasants, which can be used to add to the dishes. Chen Yuanwu, who lived in the dense forest, actually found fruits such as bananas and loquats, but as for animals there were only snakes and monkeys and some weird birds. Zha Panpan’s pair lived in the cave. Maybe because it was part of the bear’s territory, but there were few animals. For now, they’ve only found bees. Maybe they could acquire some honey.
When the four finished discussing, they all turned their pitiful eyes towards Ruan Tang.
“...” Ruan Tang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Okay, take me to your camps so I can have a look.”
