When Ling Yaoyao heard that Ling Xuan was about to leave, she felt a little uneasy.

But she also knew that if he brought her along, Ling Xuan would have to do a lot of things to ensure her safety. If she followed, she would not be a help but a burden.

Lovers are not conjoined twins. How can they stick together all the time? It's just that she has become accustomed to Ling Xuan's company during this period of time, and suddenly they were about to separate, so she was a little uncomfortable.

Ling Yaoyao calmed down after she thought for a while. "Then I will step up my research on sea beasts meat and make more supplementary foods for you to take... We don't have the currency of this starfield. Maybe we should use food as a trade item."

Helen is a border exile planet. Although the environment is not as bad as the barren Huang Hai, the air also contains tyrannical energy. It is not much better than other places. Food resources are very scarce.

Ling Xuan walked over, hugged the girl's thin waist, and rubbed his head on her neck affectionately. "Well, it's definitely possible... I asked other food therapists to prepare a lot of food that is easy to store. If it was not a last resort, I don't want to give to the food, that my family's Yaoyao worked so hard to cook, to strangers."

Although Ling Yaoyao enjoyed Ling Xuan's intimacy very much, she was also a little embarrassed. The once almighty major general now can talk about love and tease her all the time.

Seeing that Ling Xuan insisted on staying in the food therapy research room, Ling Yaoyao didn't bother to care about him. It was not the first time that the two of them cooperated in cooking.

The first thing Ling Yaoyao started to deal with was sea snake meat.

The sea snake has a thick girth. Other food therapists have helped with simple treatment, peeling off the skin, head, tail, and internal organs. Now what appears in front of Ling Yaoyao is only a section of light red snake meat.

Ling Yaoyao took a piece of snake meat weighing about 30 pounds and prepared to make snake soup.

The first thing she needed to do was to cut them into small pieces of about one pound each and get rid of their impurities one by one!

Because of the weather in Huang Hai, the sea snake flesh is very tough and firm. It was not tender at all and contained a lot of tyrannical energy impurities. These impurities are integrated into its flesh and blood, which is difficult to separate and process.

Ling Yaoyao remembered what Qian Yao had said. If she couldn't use the rounded form of her mental tentacles to get rid of the impurities, maybe she could try it with a sharp form.

Ling Yaoyao had also tried to use her sharp tentacles when handling other ingredients. However, because the meat was too tender, it often mistakenly damaged the parts without impurities.

However, there is no such worry when dealing with this tough and strong sea snake meat.

Because there were too many impurities, Ling Yaoyao took a lot of time to process the first small piece of sea snake meat. However, unexpectedly, she felt that her mental power had improved in the degree of fine control.

As she became more and more proficient, the subsequent processing speed increased significantly. The first piece took her about ten minutes to process, but the last piece only took a minute or two.

Ling Xuan obeyed Ling Yaoyao's instructions. He shredded the snake meat she had processed and marinated it with cooking wine to remove the smell.

When Ling Yaoyao finished processing all the snake meat, and all the meat was marinated, Ling Yaoyao continued to process other supplementary ingredients.

Then, she stirred-fry the shredded snake meat with lard, added cooking wine, added snake broth and seasonings, added ginger slices and green onion strips, and steamed it over medium heat for about one hour.

She made steamed snake shreds, processed chicken shreds, and other two kinds of Zerg meat shreds. Then she added shredded mushrooms, fungus, and snake broth to cook together, then added appropriate seasonings, and a big pot of fresh and attractive snake soup is done!

While the snake soup was being cooked, Ling Yaoyao began to deal with seabirds.

Seabirds are a kind of poultry, but because of the weather in Huang Hai, the meat is much tougher than ordinary poultry. However, with the previous experience of dealing with sea snakes, it only took Ling Yaoyao a little longer to process the seabird meat.

There are several kinds of birds. The bigger ones are as big as an ostrich, the middle ones are bigger than gooses and ducks, and the smaller ones are similar to chickens. It reminded Ling Yaoyao of a famous dish in Kaifeng, Henan—a set of four treasures!

[T/N: This dish must be similar to a turducken(a chicken inside a duck inside a turkey)]

Of course, this set of four treasures made by seabirds must be an enlarged version.

The skeletons of the ones stuffed inside also need to be removed.

Many ingredients are required, the production process is very complicated, and the steaming time is relatively long. Ling Yaoyao estimated that it would not be cooked in time for dinner. After Ling Yaoyao had removed the impurities from the main ingredients, she found a few food therapists and asked them to follow her instructions. With their help, she made eight sets of four treasures.

Except for the one served to the top of the battleship for 168, the others would be taken away by Ling Xuan tomorrow as reserve food and bartering material.

There are not many impurities in bird eggs, and it is easy to handle. Ling Yaoyao made various egg pastries and egg pancakes that are convenient for storage.

Then there are the sea beasts brought back by Ling Xuan. There are more than a dozen species, mainly various fierce-looking fish...

Ling Yaoyao chose a huge octopus as the first ingredient to try.

Don't look at the horrible octopus, but think about the delicious octopus balls!

Uh... Although this huge octopus is enough to make thousands of small octopus balls, there are tens of thousands of soldiers on the battleship. Ling Yaoyao was not afraid that they couldn't finish it. She was afraid there was not enough for everyone!

If the octopus was sliced ​​into thin slices, spicy skewers or fried octopus are also very good!

Of course, most of this octopus has to be taken away by Ling Xuan. If the soldiers want to eat it, then they can continue to hunt them slowly. There is the whole barren planet of fishes waiting for them to eat. Food is enough for them!

The biggest problem now is that only Ling Yaoyao can completely get rid of the impurities in Huang Hai's sea beast meat. Other food therapists can only get rid of most of them, but there will always be a small part of impurities that were missed!

This is because the mental tentacles of the auxiliary therapists are all round. There is no way to perfectly "remove" the impurities that are tightly bound to flesh and blood!

Ling Yaoyao had an idea. She remembered that the mental tentacles of the combatants were all sharp forms. Perhaps, she could ask the combatants to try to deal with the impurities in the sea beast meat?

 

Combatants cannot process ordinary plant and meat ingredients because they are relatively tender and cannot withstand the devastation of combatants' sharp mental tentacles.

But the sea beast meat here is different. It is more than ten times tougher than normal meat, and the energy it contains is very solid and rich!

Ling Xuan is a ready-made guinea pig!

Ling Yaoyao felt exhausted because she had processed too much food. Ling Xuan looked a little distressed and helped Ling Yaoyao rub her temples. He asked her not to work her mind too hard, take a rest first and study the remaining sea beasts slowly.

Ling Yaoyao has already prepared a lot of food. Besides the food dinner tonight, there is enough to take him to Helen in exchange for rarer resources.

What's more, many other food therapists have also prepared a lot of other supplementary foods, even though it has lower levels than the ones made by Ling Yaoyao.

Who knows, Ling Yaoyao suddenly turned around and looked at Ling Xuan with shining eyes. She said in a coquettish tone, "Brother, you do me a favor..."

Ling Xuan didn't know what she wanted, but he still agreed, "Whatever you want, as long as I can do it, I will do it."

Other food therapists were walking around in the food research room from time to time, doing some simple and repetitive tasks according to Ling Yaoyao's instructions. They accidentally peeked at the usually iron-blooded Major General's soft and tender side. There is a kind of light that blinded their dog eyes, and there is a feeling of choking on dog food...2

However, the two of them were completely unaware. Ling Yaoyao excitedly explained her idea.

'Let the combatants use their mental power to deal with the tyrannical energy and impurities in the sea beast meat?'

'Oh my god, Miss Ling is really whimsical!'

'Not to mention whether this plan is feasible. First of all, how can those combatants who only like to fight on the battlefield be willing to lower their noble heads, enter the kitchen, and deal with ingredients...'

'Uh, the major general is purely here because love, he just wanted to accompany his wifey!'

'Other combat divisions would not agree, but perhaps the major general would really agree? The tall and stern major general, for the delicate and weak Miss Ling, would be responsive to every request!'

Sure enough, Ling Xuan did not resist at all and said with a little joy, "Of course, I can. If it works, it would be great. You won't have to work so hard in the future. Tell me what to do?"

Ling Yaoyao said, "I may not be able to explain it very clearly. You release your mental tentacles, compress them as small as possible, and then wrap them around the front part of my mental tentacles. Then you follow me to see how I dealt with it..."

Ling Xuan hugged Ling Yaoyao's body, held her hand on the edge of a piece of octopus meat, and released a very thin black and red mental tentacles. It wrapped around Ling Yaoyao's pale golden tentacles with green light and explored the inside of that piece of octopus meat together...

Because their mental tentacles are entangled, Ling Xuan can perceive Ling Yaoyao's intentions without hindrance. He can also understand the movements of her mental tentacles.

After being taught "hand in hand" several times, Ling Xuan could use his mental tentacles to get rid of the impurities in the octopus...

In the beginning, Ling Xuan's strength was still a bit too strong. He accidentally punched a big hole in the piece of meat!

But as Ling Yaoyao took him to adjust the intensity over and over again. Soon, Ling Xuan really mastered the trick. His handling of impurities gradually became smooth. He increased the strength from one mental tentacle to ten tentacles, then a hundred...

Ling Xuan said in amazement, "It's really possible! I feel that after dealing with meat impurities in this way, it is also very helpful for training my mental strength. I can control precision and control strength..."

Chi Huo, the chief food therapist on the side, is a master food therapist. In the beginning, he was surprised that Ling Xuan and Ling Yaoyao's mental tentacles had intimate contact with each other without any restrain...

But it didn't seem too strange when he thought of the degree of affection between the two.

'It turned out that Miss Ling is not only Major General Ling's sister and lover. She is also his exclusive spiritual assistant with a high degree of spiritual harmony!'

'The two people must have been spiritually combined many times and trust each other so much. They can be in this non-quiet and non-private environment without any preparation, but their mental tentacles can be intimately intertwined without rejection.'

Ling Xuan made a call and said to his adjutant, Cheng Bin, "You and ten more soldiers, come to the food therapy research room together..."

As long as a group of combatants is trained to deal with the impurities in the sea beast's meat, it is equivalent to having a stable source of food. They can camp on this deserted planet for a period of time.

Ling Yaoyao also knew that if other combatants obeyed Ling Xuan's orders, they could deal with this amount of sea beast meat, but if they resisted, it would be very difficult to succeed.

Ling Yaoyao thought for a while and said, "I'll make some crispy fried octopus balls and spicy skewers of octopus for them to try!"

As for an authentic takoyaki, it will take some time to create the heated mold. For the time being, it is impossible to make it.

Only by letting them experience the deliciousness of this sea beast meat will they be more motivated to learn!

Although Ling Xuan was reluctant, he still agreed, "Well, I have to be the first one to try! Theirs are after mine!"

Ten minutes later, the first batch of fried octopus balls prepared by Ling Yaoyao personally came out of the fryer. The rich aroma overflowed in the whole kitchen, provoking the food therapist in the huge research room, as well as ten combatants brought by Cheng Bin. The combatants craned their necks and swallowed their saliva.

Ling Xuan picked up a golden fried octopus ball under many envious and hating eyes and took the first bite.

Crispy, charred, delicious, chewy, and full of tenacity! Full of energy!

However, Ling Xuan's comment was only one dry word, "Delicious!"

Audience: 'My gosh, you don't need to say that. All of us can guess it must be delicious, okay? After you have eaten, hurry up and let us try it too!'

However, Ling Xuan slowly blew another meatball to cool it down and brought them to Ling Yaoyao's mouth. "You eat too."

Audience: 'Major general, I didn't expect you to be such a person! We are here to try the food, and we refuse to be forced into dog food! ...Forget it, for that delicious sea, land and sky meal, it's not impossible to eat some dog food by the way... QAQ!'
