Chapter 196: The Temptation of Food (1/3)

Moses-Espar is one of the few port cities on the planet Tatooine Desert, which arose in the desert and was built little by little over the years.

The structure is a very desert style of survival, made entirely of earth and stone, similar to caves, but domed houses to protect the inhabitants from the scorching sun and scorching heat.

Most of the inhabitants of Moses-Espar were immigrants and paupers who were barely making ends meet, and this despicable system was retained in Moses-Espa, although slavery was outlawed elsewhere during the Republic.

The city also has entertainment venues in many of its diverse homes, workspaces and shopping malls, some of which are huge, and the famous Mos Espar Arena can accommodate almost the entire city's population as spectators.

The Hutts are the de facto masters of this remote planet, bringing riches to distract the public from their criminal activities by building huge shuttle racing arenas.

It seems to be a deformed society.

Beneath the surface of order lies utter chaos.

Even, the government is controlled by Jabba the Hutt, the leader of the intergalactic gang.

Fortunately, this planet is too barren, which is both unfortunate and fortunate.

With some basic information provided by Anakin and the data Eva obtained from the basically useless civilian planet network, Xiao Yi basically figured out the division of power on this chaotic desert planet.

The colony is under the control of Jabba the Hutt, though he doesn't care about the planet.

Those useless sand seas are under the control of the indigenous sand people.

Government and military networks, big databases that are really useful, Eva thinks might be using quantum computers to communicate with other planets.

The photonic computer occupied by Eva is not of the same magnitude as the quantum computer at all, so after the preliminary judgment, some small actions were completely dispelled, and the turtle retracted into Xiao B's "imaginary space".

First, determine the location of this desert planet.

But even Eva didn't figure out where this civilization was in the universe, and although this republic was called the Milky Way, it was clearly not a matter of the Milky Way, but of translation.

Any civilization looks up at the universe and sees a galaxy in the starry sky.

"No wonder the Heavenly Master didn't say which corner of the universe this is, either this is the deepest part of the universe, an extremely far place that humans can't measure, or ...... This is another universe!"

The multiverse theory has been proposed on Earth for more than 100 years.

As for Anakin Skywalker, just by this name, Xiao Yi felt a kind of magic, and repeated divination, which indicated that this little guy would be like a monkey in the future, turning this planet, this civilization, and this universe upside down.

And the life contained in this small body makes people dare not look at it directly.

Light and darkness coexist.

Whether the light swallows the darkness, or the darkness covers the light, no one knows.

"Protagonist...... He is the protagonist of this universe......"

After Otogawa repeatedly looked at the various alien races, he secretly came to a conclusion.

As for "Star Wars" or something, just like the Taoist Eight Great Divine Spells don't have it, the parallel universe that Otogawa is in doesn't have this thing.

It was already dark, and an orange sun slowly emerged from the horizon.

It's the most comfortable time of the day, when the two suns have risen and the heat falls on the desert of Tatooine, and the scorching sun will scorch you.

When the time comes, there will be no creatures going out.

The little boy is holding a hologram installation and leading Otogawa through the city with earthy yellow tones, looking very excited, he is a child who loves to learn, especially when it comes to repair.

His dream was to be a great mechanic.

Otogawa promised to teach him some science and technology.

Of course, before you can teach you, you need to have a full meal, and you need to exchange this hologram device for money.

Anakin's owner, the shopkeeper Votu, was one of Mosesespar's smaller merchants who ran a grocery store.

In the distance, you can see a bell-shaped storefront, which is very different from the surrounding dome, and according to Anakin's introduction along the way, this is a tribute to his hometown of Toidaria. This spire becomes a comfortable perch, much like the sludge nest of its home planet.

According to Anakin, Votu was a shrewd and brutal thrift shopkeeper on Mos Espa. He was a hot-tempered, unshaven Toidarian who was obsessed with money and gambling. Although Vottu's shop is relatively small in Mos Espa, his scrap yard is a treasure trove of scrap machinery and spare parts.

Among the list of Voltu's possessions are two slaves - Anakin and his mother, Smith Skywalker.

After winning back the mother and son from Hutt Gadullah in a shuttle car gambling gamble, Wotu arranged for them to work in his shop. The young Anakin showed an incredible talent for mechanical maintenance, and Votu admired him very much. Although it is not a glorious thing to be a slave, Votu is a good master. This is most likely because the boy is a big source of income for him – not only to fix his machines, but also to win money for him in the shuttle races.

As soon as you enter the small store, the interior can be said to be extremely dim, and it can be seen that this flapping alien is a little stingy, of course, it may also be for business needs, and the dim environment can better cover up the defects of the goods.

Seeing Anakin enter the door, the blue-skinned and extremely strange-looking Voltu said in a hoarse voice: "Anakin, have you repaired my shuttle? Seven days later, the shuttle competition ...... Well, human, what are you going to buy?"

"Mr. Wotu, this is my friend, Eh...... Mr. Zorro!" Anakin put the device in his hand on the table and said, "He needs to sell this hologram device, which is worth 4,500 yuan, which will give you a profit of 800 yuan, and if you encounter one that will not make a counteroffer, you can make 1,000 yuan, or even more." ”

"Hologram?" Voltu's thick fingers tapped on the device, his mouth and long nose squirmed for a while, the interface opened, and a three-dimensional image appeared, shaking his head and saying: "Look, it's a little bad here, it's a little hot here, and there will be a risk of burning out after a long time, here's ......"

The one who picked the bones in the egg picked out several shortcomings, and then said: "Humans, 3,000 pieces, there is no more." ”

The little blonde boy shrugged his shoulders and said, "All right, Zorro, it seems that my master doesn't know the goods, you get the art shop of the Togruta people next door, they can get this price......"

"Anakin...... 4000 pieces, no more......"

"Deal...... I need to go out with my friends, can I take a day off? I know it will...... By the way, Mom ......."

Anakin shouted to the back of the shop, and then a few moments later, a woman with brown hair and some rough skin from the wind and sand walked out.

"Mom, my new friend, he's a mechanic, and he's willing to teach me great repair skills......"

The woman smiled at Otogawa and said, "Anakin is always very naughty, so it's troublesome for Mr., if you can, can you invite Mr. to come to the house for dinner?"

"Yes, ma'am, that's really troublesome!"

Otogawa knew what she was going to do when she invited her to dinner, and she wanted to see if she was fit to socialize with his son, and it was only natural for a mother to care about her child.

Wotu is indeed a good master, although he controls everything from Anakin to his body, from body to soul, he is not treated as a slave, but more like a boss and employee.

Although it is indeed squeezed quite hard.

But without Wotu, Anakin's mother and son would not have survived on this desert planet.

He took out three banknotes, handed the remaining 3,700 banknotes to Otogawa, and said, "Three hundred yuan can have a big meal, thank you......"

"It's yours, the equipment is your property, I just assembled it......"

"Knowledge is priceless, and without Mr. Zorro's knowledge, they wouldn't be worth a penny. ”

"Okay, then I'll take 1,000 ......," he said, shoving the money into the little boy's pocket.

The place to eat, according to Anakin, is the best food restaurant in the neighborhood, and the cook is a four-armed Bethsalisk man.

After a while, the main course was served, and the speed of serving was not to be said.

Roughly compared to the dishes on earth, it should be tender potato stew with lamb!

Of course, a potato is not a potato, but a similar desert plant stem.

Meat, it's an alien lamb meat.

It was not the usual meat on Tatooine – bansa meat, which was seen by the colonists as a filthy animal, although many times it had to be eaten.

Just like in ancient times, pigs have always been dirty animals, and it was not until the Northern Song Dynasty that Su Dabeard invented Dongpo meat, which became popular.

The main thing is not that the meat is not tasty, but that it will not be cooked.

In the open kitchen, Xiao Yi also looked at the method, the Bethsalisk people look five big and three thick, because of the four arms, so the speed is not generally fast, roughly boiled water to copy the meat pieces, and then add all kinds of strange seasonings, probably similar to onions, salt, and then stew directly, and then put in plant stems and beans at a certain time, and simmer for forty or fifty minutes.

"This is the best food? It's too simple, isn't it? It's just backed up by the deliciousness of the meat itself!"

Yi Xiaochuan couldn't help but shake his head, the alien civilization has reached the level of flying at the speed of light, but this delicacy is not even worthy of carrying shoes for Huaxia.

"Mr. Zorro...... Well, I haven't asked you what your name is?"

"Just call me Zorro! Don't call me Sir, just call me Zorro, little Anakin......" Xiao Yi tasted the alien lamb meat lightly, it was not unpalatable, but it was not delicious, except that it was very tender, and it was fresh.

Seeing Otogawa put down the spoon, Anakin wondered, "Zorro...... Isn't that tasty?"

"Actually...... I'm a foodie!"

"Oh!"

Needless to say, Anakin knew that the dish was not to Mr. Zorro's taste.

"But it's the signature dish......"

In this barren planet, there are not many seasonings, so food naturally cannot develop.

"It's okay, when you're full, we'll go to the vegetable market, I'll cook it myself, maybe we can get your mother back for a good dinner." ”

"Really? But I can't cook......"

"You can see that you are a great helper......"

Seeing that Otogawa didn't eat it, Anakin also put down the soup spoon and packed it.

It is shameful to waste food, especially in the middle of a barren desert.

After walking around the vegetable market, you can still find some ingredients, although they look weird.

Back at the scrap warehouse, just across the wall, is the home of Skywalker's mother and son.

On the Twin Star Desert Planet, the inexhaustible resource is naturally solar energy, but the water source is the most expensive resource.

After washing the alien meat with clean water, Anakin poured the sewage into a recycling machine, and when the sun evaporated the water, it returned to a cool place underground and re-filtered it, and it was drinking water again.

Although he hasn't held a spatula since he met Lao Liu, Xiao Yi can cook.

Since the death of his parents, he has been living alone and has been a cook for eight years.

Take out a set of cutting boards and kitchen knives in the imaginary space, and chop the meat into small pieces.

put the pieces of meat into the soup bowl, and then took out a set of seasoning boxes, as a foodie, Xiao Yi prepared a lot of seasonings.

If you want to eat Sichuan hot pot, you have an authentic hot pot base, but aliens don't necessarily eat spicy, so they still dispel the idea of eating hot pot.

First, the meat is slightly marinated, green onions, ginger, garlic, pepper, fine snowflake salt, soy sauce and vinegar cooking wine, and Anakin is dazzled.

Even the storage space technology, he didn't have time to think about it.

I just think Zorro is so powerful.

Put the saucepan on the solar stove, and while it is hot, Otogawa cuts the plants that resemble carrots and onions into many pieces, puts a piece of butter in the hot pot, fries and melts, then pours in the alien carrots and onion pieces, and stir-fries for a while.

The fragrance immediately began to permeate, causing Anakin's saliva to swallow.

Then pour in all the small pieces of marinated meat and fry them carefully for a while.

In this process, the cooking wine is added to remove the smell, and the sauce and water are added.

Then simmer over low heat.

Stir-fried a few more alien vegetables, and took out Lao Liu's braised beef and salted peanuts......

Counting the time, Anakin's mother, Smith Skywalker, is also about to return, and his master Wotu doesn't care.

Xiao Yi opened the lid of the stew pot, put the tender beans and the stalks of the cut plants in, and added another cup of hot water and two spoons of salt.

Close the lid and reduce the heat.

The scent in the room is getting stronger and stronger, full of enticing aromas.

Anaquin stood aside in a regular manner, and at this moment he was really like a child, completely addicted to the temptation of food.

Dumbfounded.

Finally, the sound of the door opening outside the courtyard was heard, and the familiar sound of footsteps.

"Good incense......," said the Smith Skywalker before he could enter, whispering in confusion.

"Maybe a glass of wine...... It's a day to celebrate......"
