Chapter 14: Do You Want to Go Back?
When Yuan Li left his room, it was just five o'clock.
"I don't know if that Erin made it to the kitchen." Yuan Li said to himself, and then shook his head, the people on Byron Star are used to being free and loose, and there is nothing to look forward to.
However, when Yuan Li pushed open the door of the kitchen, he couldn't help but be stunned, today's kitchen seemed to be ......
Exceptionally clean?
While it's true that he hasn't cleaned up the kitchen himself for a long time, after Boiling and Doff take over the task of cleaning the kitchen, he still holds them to the highest standards.
When it comes to cleaning the kitchen, Boiling and Dove can't say they do their best, but they can barely meet his requirements.
But today, the moment he entered the door, he had a feeling of refreshment...... The metal cabinets and countertops were polished. All the kitchen utensils and bottles are neatly arranged, and at a glance it looks as if they were cleaned up.
He never admits that he has obsessive-compulsive disorder, but this picture looks really cool!
"Captain, you're here!" A clear female voice woke Yuan Li up.
Yuan Li looked at the source of the voice, it was the Irene, the work clothes that didn't fit well were put on her body, the sleeves were rolled up to seven points of the arm, and the overly long hem was all wrapped in an apron, which looked very neat and comfortable.
"You cleaned it all up here? What about the two of them? Yuan Li asked subconsciously.
"Boiling is going to take care of the garden in the warehouse, and Dove is checking the power room and pipes. You won't let me go to the warehouse, and I can't really help with the things in the power room, so I'll stay here and clean it. The two of them basically asked me to talk to me, how is the captain, are you satisfied? ”
Yuan Li didn't speak, just took a tissue from the table, put the tissue on the table seemingly casually, and then wiped it around with the tissue, when he picked up the tissue, the tissue was still snow-white and snow-white without any variegation.
Yuan Li nodded, "It's not bad." ”
"Yay!" Erin waved her fist excitedly, "That's right, Captain!" Your restaurant is beautiful! I've only seen such a restaurant in an old illustrated book. ”
Yuan Li turned his head in some surprise, "Do you like it?" ”
Erin nodded excitedly, "Look good!" Sincerely! Definitely not a sycophant! ”
Yuan Li didn't give him any response, he just took care of himself and brought up his apron, "I'll teach you to make breakfast now." ”
"Okay, okay! What to do today? Erin actually took out a pen and paper and waited for Yuan Li eagerly, completely looking like a good student.
Yuan Li still glanced at her indifferently, and then said as he moved his hand, "Two packets of compressed grain and water are boiled into porridge soup for five people, will you do this?" ”
"It's easy!" Erin patted her chest and said.
"Okay, then the omelette," Yuan Li continued to say, took out a large frying pan and heated it on the fire first, and then took out a few four-legged chocobo eggs from the bamboo basket on the side, washed them with water, and put them at hand, "It's not difficult to fry eggs, but you must pay attention to the 'hot pan and cold oil', that is, pour in cold oil after the pot is hot, and beat the eggs into it before the oil is hot, otherwise the eggs will easily stick to the bottom of the pot, which will burn." ”
As he spoke, Yuan Li knocked the rugby-sized egg twice on the stove, and the eggshell immediately cracked a crack.
Then put the egg on the pan and break it with your hands, a large fried egg quickly pounces into the pan, and then slowly turns white under the influence of the temperature.
"Four-legged eggs have a high protein content, but they are too large to cook, so they should be fried slowly over low heat. For two of us to eat such an omelette, you can make the other one. In addition to the hot pan and cold oil, you should shake the pan often when frying to prevent the bottom from getting burned, yes, the eggshell of the four-legged egg is a little hard, pay attention to the strength. ”
"Okay!" Erin put away her notebook and immediately took out another pot and prepared to start frying eggs like Yuan Li.
Her movements were very jerky and she didn't seem to have any cooking experience, but she still learned to be very serious, much more serious than when Boiling and Doff first got on the boat, and she looked like she was desperate for recognition.
"Why do you want to stay?" Yuan Li asked suddenly.
"Because you're strong!" Erin turned her head and blinked at a pair of big eyes and said, "I adore you!" I know how many people Raphael has incited against you, but you left unscathed. ”
"What else?" Yuan Li's heart did not fluctuate at all, and he even wanted to laugh a little.
"And ......," Erin continued, rolling her eyes, "Raphael's escort is a Norken, and I don't think it would be wrong to follow the captain!" ”
"Actually, you don't have to." Yuan Li glanced at Erin, "This kind of disguise won't increase my good opinion of you." ”
Erin was stunned for a moment, and instantly put away the incomparably girlish expression on her face, "Then what do you like?" ”
"I don't know." Yuan Li paused and said, "But at least it's not this kind of hypocrisy." ”
Erin took a deep breath and didn't forget to clumsily shake the fried egg in the pan in her hand.
"Because of loneliness. You are at least my kind. A hint of sadness flashed in Erin's eyes, "I don't have any relatives in that garbage city, my parents died in the riot, and I don't even know who killed them, only that the riot was related to Raphael's sudden change of guards." ”
Yuan Li frowned slightly, "Humans are the most united species in the Alliance, you shouldn't feel lonely. ”
Erin shook her head, "Humanity is only truly united in the face of war, and who doesn't do things for themselves in the current situation?" Besides, there are so many half-breeds in Junk City that I can't tell who my real kind is. ”
"So you don't believe anyone, including Raphael."
Erin nodded.
"You hate him?"
Erin nodded again.
"But you still got on my ship for him to steal."
"I'm just trying to live." Erin grimaced.
"Shake the pot, don't burn your breakfast."
"Oh good."
"You know the procedure very well." Yuan Li asked again, "Who taught you?" ”
"My dad's former adjutant, he's an exceptional man."
"You're in luck. They are the best programmers. Yuan Li paused and asked, "What about him?" ”
"Dead too."
"The same riot?"
Erin nodded.
The conversation between the two suddenly fell silent, and only the sizzling of the pot kept ringing in the kitchen of Nuoda.
"Do you want to go back to Earth?" Yuan Li asked suddenly.
Erin glanced at Yuan Li, "We...... Isn't it on the way to Earth? ”
"I'm asking you, do you want to go back to Earth?" Yuan Li paused for half a second and then said, "I mean, stay on Earth." ”
Erin turned her head sharply, her eyes full of confusion......
