My carefree life in space

Chapter 44 Culinary Debut

As a result, after walking for another half a day, they still couldn't find any trace of chili peppers.

Helpless, Lin Shushu had no choice but to unleash her divine sense and search every inch of the land, but still found nothing.

Looks like there's no chili pepper here. Well, you can't just find whatever you want right away; things in this world don't always go exactly as planned.

Since she couldn't find it, Lin Shushu decided to go back first and come back tomorrow to see if she could find anything else.

Just as they were walking back, they heard a few "coo coo coo" sounds.

Lin Shushu thought the voice sounded familiar. Could it be...?

While she was still wondering if it was as she suspected, Yan He beside her exclaimed, "It's a Gugu Beast! Let's go catch it!"

Before anyone else could react, he had already run over. Seeing this, Yan Qing immediately followed.

Lin Shushu and Mo Ze waited in place for a while, and then the two brothers returned, each carrying a cooing animal.

Hearing the familiar call and seeing the familiar face, wasn't this exactly what I had imagined? However, this chicken was enormous, weighing at least 20 pounds. In my past life, a chicken weighing 10 pounds was already extremely rare.

Thinking of the mushrooms she had just picked, Lin Shushu had an idea.

With the ingredients in hand, everyone lingered and quickly left the forest, returning to the Yan family home.

Hearing that Lin Shushu was going to show off her skills, the Yan family of three was very happy. After spending a day together, the Yan brothers were no longer as reserved as yesterday and were now busy helping Lin Shushu.

Yan Qing gutted and cleaned the two Gugu beasts and handed them to Lin Shushu, who then ran her hand over them.

She planned to use one for soup and the other for stir-frying.

Lin Shushu put the cleaned mushrooms into the belly of the Gugu Beast, added sliced ​​ginger, and also took out a medicinal herb with nourishing properties from her space to stew together.

Lin Shushu was stumped when she tried to cook. The pot she had used to stew soup belonged to the Yan family; after all, they were used to boiling wild vegetables, so that pot was barely suitable for stewing soup. But cooking was a different story; she couldn't very well use the stew pot for cooking other dishes.

Upon hearing Lin Shushu's request, Mo Ze decided to go to the center of the safe zone to find someone to make a wok. They had already explored the area that morning and knew where to find someone to make it.

When the chicken soup in the pot emitted a rich aroma, Mo Ze returned.

Looking at the wok that was exactly as she had described, Lin Shushu couldn't help but marvel at the interstellar people's hands-on skills.

Lin Shushu put the previously extracted fat from the Gugu Beast into a pot. When all the oil was rendered out and only residue remained, she removed the excess oil to use for stir-frying wild vegetables. She removed the residue, added ginger, and stirred it a few times with a spatula.

Yes, the spatula was also made to order. After listening to her description, Yan Li said he could make it himself.

Sure enough, Yan Li quickly made a spatula using the wood he had stored at home. Lin Shushu tried it out and found it very easy to use.

Once the ginger was slightly charred, Lin Shushu added the diced Gugu beast meat and stir-fried it with a spatula. Just before it was done cooking, Lin Shushu added the chopped wild scallions.

Instantly, an enticing aroma filled the entire courtyard, permeating everyone's nostrils, and everyone gathered around, inhaling deeply.

The aroma was incredible; the Yan family had never smelled anything like it before. They had eaten plenty of Gugu beast meat, but they had never known it could taste like this. If they hadn't witnessed Lin Shushu's every move, they would have thought she had switched to a completely different ingredient.

Even Mo Ze was squinting and sniffing, he had no idea that Shu Shu had such skills.

He opened his eyes and looked at the Yan family members who were completely absorbed in the food. He thought to himself, "They're really getting off easy. It's the first time Shushu has cooked these dishes, and she's going to share them with others." He was a little unhappy.

Afterwards, Lin Shushu used the remaining oil to stir-fry two kinds of wild vegetables. Looking at the lush green and appetizing wild vegetables, the Yan family felt that they had wasted all these years. How could they have only known how to boil them in water before? What a waste!

By this time, the soup was ready. Although it didn't have the overpowering aroma of stir-fried meat, the smell was invigorating and made one's mouth water.

Seeing everyone standing there dumbfounded, Lin Shushu chuckled to herself. This was nothing compared to what she had seen. If they had gone to the gourmet paradise of her past life, they would have been shocked countless times.

However, it's understandable; the interstellar world is a culinary wasteland, and these dishes today are enough to overturn their perceptions.

Lin Shushu felt a little guilty when she saw the resentful look in Mo Ze's eyes. She hadn't thought of it before; the food in the space tasted good no matter how it was prepared, so she hadn't focused on it. Otherwise, she would have already cooked all sorts of dishes for him.

"What are you still standing there for? Time to eat." These words snapped the person out of their daze.

Once everyone was seated, Lin Shushu realized something was missing: she had forgotten to cook rice. Interstellar people didn't have rice, so no one reminded her.

Seeing the longing looks in those eyes, I thought, "Oh well, there's soup anyway, so it doesn't matter whether I eat the main course or not."

Mo Chen served Lin Shushu and himself a bowl of soup first, ignoring the Yan family members, and started eating.

Faced with such delicious food, the three members of the Yan family, father and sons, forgot all about politeness and began to devour the food.

The aroma alone had already amazed them, and now that they tasted it, they were utterly satisfied.

Yan Qing was also surprised to find that the ingredients were not contaminated. He knew it couldn't be the ingredients themselves, so it must be the person in charge of cooking.

Suppressing his shock, he secretly glanced at Lin Shushu. She was actually a purifier, and a high-level one at that.

After the meal, Lin Shushu looked at the empty plates and the soup pot, not a drop of water left, and secretly marveled at how good the four of them were. She thought there would be a lot left over, after all, the two Gugu beasts weighed about 40 pounds, but she didn't expect them to eat it all.

"Sister Shushu, I'm going to catch the Gugu Beast again tomorrow. Can you still cook today's dishes?" Yan He looked at Lin Shushu expectantly.

Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped on the head. "What nonsense are you talking about? There's not enough food for you today." Yan He was very worried that his younger brother's words would anger Lin Shushu and Mo Ze.

Upon hearing Yan Qing's words, Yan He realized his rudeness and quickly tried to make amends, "What I meant was, Sister Shushu, your cooking is so delicious, it makes you want to eat more."

Mo Ze's expression turned somewhat displeased upon hearing Yan He's words. However, his expression returned to normal after hearing Yan Qing's words and Yan He's additional remarks.

This kid really dares to dream. He's already worried about tiring Shushu out, yet he still wants to eat it a second time. He's really dreaming.

Lin Shushu smiled slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. She only told Yan Qing to go to the outer perimeter of the safe zone again tomorrow.

Without lingering, Mo Chen pulled Lin Shushu along and got into the flying car to return to the hotel where they had stayed the previous night.
