Chapter Two Hundred and Nine: Late Night Kitchen

Late at night, at 1:37 a.m., in the small dining room next to the kitchen of the Admiralty's Palace.

Mo Yan sat at a round table of rosewood with a Chinese style, took out a kelp knot with a thin bamboo skewer from a small casserole, and put it into his mouth, savoring the taste of this pot of Yatsen's special oden.

"This seems to be a little different from the oden we ate last time at the Northern Command Headquarters?"

After eating the kelp knot, Mo Yan took another beef ball and ate it in one bite, and found that the pot of oden made by Yat-sen tasted far better than the one they had eaten in the north before.

"I've improved the recipe for this pot of oden according to your taste, and the ingredients used in the town guard mansion are much better than that small shop."

Yi Xian said and placed two small bowls with sauce in front of Mo Yan, one was vinegar-based, with a few ingredients for dipping seafood such as shrimp and crab meat, and the other was mainly dried chili noodles, served with salt, peppercorns, monosodium glutamate and chopped green onions, which were used to serve meat and vegetarian dishes.

"That's right." Mo Yan took an Arctic sweet shrimp that had been dialed and worn on a bamboo skewer and dipped it in the vinegar sauce, handed it to his mouth and chewed it, the shrimp meat was delicate and tight, the aftertaste was sweet, full of fresh fragrance, accompanied by a slightly sour and refreshing vinegar sauce, it tasted sweet and delicious, very appetizing. After swallowing the shrimp meat, Mo Yan thought of the Admiral's Canteen in Ishtenor, and said, "The ingredients used by the Admiral have always been special, and most of them are not available on the market. ”

Although Mo Yan was already hungry when he touched the kitchen, and he wanted to eat a cow in one bite, he still maintained considerable restraint when he was eating, chewing slowly and savoring every bite.

It was already 1:30 when he came out of his room in Missouri, and everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.

Only Yixian was still waiting for Mo Yan quietly with a pot of oden in the kitchen.

The reason why I make oden is mainly because it is not convenient to make too much movement in order to cook at night, and it is not easy to preserve ordinary dishes after they are made, and the taste will deteriorate if they lose their freshness after a long time.

Oden, on the other hand, does not have this shortcoming, and after it is done, it is slowly warmed over low heat, which is just enough to make the ingredients in the casserole taste good, and the food is always hot, so you can eat it directly when you take it out, which is extremely convenient.

The amount of oden is handled just right, and the food worn on a bamboo skewer is just a small bite, which is particularly comfortable to eat.

"I went to the cafeteria and saw that although the quality of the ingredients used was very good, they didn't know how to mix and condition, and the taste of the food was slightly unsatisfactory."

After placing the sauce in front of Mo Yan, Yat Sen stepped aside and poured two cups of tea beside him, then took a stool and sat next to Mo Yan, raised his hand and pulled up a long light brown hair from under the collar at the back of Mo Yan's neck, and quietly crumpled it into a ball, still on the ground.

"Speaking of the cafeteria, I'm also a little strange, why do I feel that as long as it's a naval canteen, the things made are so difficult to swallow?"

Mo Yan has also eaten in the canteens of several naval bases or town guard mansions in the past half a year, and he feels that the chefs in the canteen are not as good as what he has made.

"Maybe it's influenced by the cultural integration after the unification of the Federation!" Yixian leaned his hand on the table and looked at Mo Yan slightly lazily, "They pay too much attention to the nutritional combination of food and ignore the conditioning of taste. ”

"Is the canteen of our town guard under the control of the logistics department?"

After Mo Yan ate more than a dozen servings of oden in a row, his stomach finally felt a little satisfied, and he felt that his hunger was gradually receding.

"It's the logistics department, do you need me to tidy up the cafeteria?"

Yixian took a sip of tea, she is now the head of the logistics department, seeing Mo Yan mention the logistics department, she can roughly guess some of Mo Yan's thoughts.

"I think you can just teach those chefs a trick and a half, and let them make the food in the cafeteria a little more delicious, if the taste is not good, not many people want to eat it, and I feel that a lot of those ingredients are wasted because no one eats them, which is a pity."

Mo Yan thought of the little girl Aisha he had met in Ishmanor, and the slum where she lived.

The life of the civilians of this world is in dire straits, and the admirals are extravagant and wasteful, which makes him feel a little uncomfortable, after all, he is also a member of the admiral.

"I have inspected in the past few days, and there seem to be some twists and turns in the supply and use of ingredients in the canteen, which involves some interests. However, it is not difficult to rectify it, but the punishment needs to be weighed, what kind of "degree" do you think should be maintained in the punishment of these moths? ”

Yat-sen found a series of problems after taking over the logistics department, but because Mo Yan's mind was focused on the task of encircling and suppressing the secret base of the Ultimate, she didn't mention it much before, and now that they have returned from victory, it seems that it is time to clean up the rats in the town guard mansion.

"Be strict and severe!" Mo Yan didn't think too much about this matter, since it was a new official taking office, the fire that should be lit still had to be lit, "We have shown our strength to the Southern Headquarters through this encirclement and suppression mission, and it is time to rectify the internal affairs of the town guard mansion, so as not to be laughed at by others, saying that our deep-sea flagships can be defeated, but a few rats can't deal with it." ”

"I see, I'll go to Lexington tomorrow to discuss what to do with these rats."

Yat-sen looked at Mo Yan for a moment, then moved his stool behind Mo Yan, and leaned on his back with his waist around him.

"Yat-sen..."

Mo Yan had just picked up a crab stick, and suddenly felt that he was being held tightly by Yat Xian from behind, and his body couldn't help but stiffen slightly.

"You eat slowly, let me hold it for a while."

Yat-sen pressed his face against Mo Yan's back, sniffing at his scent.

"The moonlight is just right tonight, let's go out for a walk after eating!"

Mo Yan looked up at the silver moon outside the window, and then lowered his head to eat, although the taste of oden was good, but his heart was a little sour, for the ship girls, he owed a little too much, and he didn't know if he could pay it off in this life.

"Hmm." Yat-sen replied softly, and then said, "Let's pay more attention to Nexington lately, I think there is something wrong with her mood." ”

"I feel that although she wants to be close to you, she has to hold a wife's shelf, maintain the demeanor of an eldest woman, and give more opportunities to her sisters, which will be very hard."

"Madam, Lexington......" Mo Yan was slightly silent, "I see." ”
