Chapter 18: To the 10th Arrondissement

Speaking of which, since Jiang Chen lives in this detective agency, he naturally has a small kitchen here.

However, because he doesn't cook much, the cooking conditions in the small kitchen are very limited.

There is only one wok, some common condiments, and there are only some simple quick-frozen ingredients in the refrigerator.

I didn't expect this old housekeeper to cook.

But with the little stuff I have in the refrigerator, I don't think I can make any decent dishes, so I'll just eat it alive.

Compared to this, what is more important is the meeting with Yongji in a while.

She must have asked me to know more about the "amusement park incident", what should I say?

Looking at Bastin, who was busy in the small kitchen with smooth movements far beyond his age, Jiang Chen leaned back in his chair and thought.

However, less than ten minutes later, a mellow aroma came from the small kitchen, which suddenly disrupted Jiang Chen's thinking progress.

Suck...... Suck and suck? Well? What does this smell like, it smells so good.

Before Jiang Chen could react, Basten had already held a plate in one hand and sent it to him along with chopsticks and napkins.

Oh! This...... This is? What is it?

Looking at the glittering food on the plate, Jiang Chen couldn't help but let out an exclamation of "oh".

At this time, how should this dinner served by Basten be described? There is a strange beauty of "spring and white snow".

It looks like a plate of fluffy crab quiche with a refreshing green color in the delicate jade crust.

It is also mixed with a pale red with crab textures, as if spring shoots are buried under the winter snow, and there are a few crabs jumping sideways from side to side.

This plate of crab egg cake not only looks fragrant and soft, but also exudes a strong milky and egg aroma inside.

At a glance, people can't help but want to pick up the guy and feast on it.

"Please use it, Mr. Jiang Chen, this is 'soft fried hibiscus crab', it should suit your taste."

While introducing the dishes she had made, Bastin picked up her cup and poured Jiang Chen a cup of tea.

And the technique of pouring tea is still a very handsome one-handed rotary brewing method, which can fully stimulate the fragrance of tea.

Jiang Chen, on the other hand, used chopsticks to slightly separate a piece of crab cake.

Served the fluffy mixture of white, green, and red into his mouth.

Hiss! Beauty...... Delicious!

When he took the first bite, Jiang Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling the pleasure of the aroma filling his mouth and nose.

The white crust should be something like a meringue made of egg whites.

Whipped cream and milk are also added, so it is not greasy or greasy in the mouth, soft and fluffy.

The turquoise puree mixed in is supposed to be the minced peas that have been crushed after cooking, with a fresh bean aroma and rustling texture.

Finally, the red crab meat is made by shredding the cheap crab fillet and seasoning it.

And it is deliberately fried a little too hot to make it crispy, which is in stark contrast to meringue and pea puree.

...... Delicious.

I did have leftover eggs, some peas and frozen crab fillet left over from the hot pot in my fridge.

These ingredients alone can make this delicious taste that is not inferior to that of a high-end restaurant.

Could it be this kind of gentleman-looking old butler...... Are they all monsters.

I have to say that this not a simple dinner made with simple ingredients made Jiang Chen was satisfied.

So when Basten took the tableware to the small kitchen to clean, Jiang Chen couldn't help but walk over and lean against the small door and said:

"With your cooking skills, don't you think about opening a restaurant one day?"

"That's still free, diners are easy to find, bosom friends are hard to find, if some uninteresting people come to the restaurant below, the scene should not be too good-looking."

"That's right, hahahaha."

Although Bastin seems to be kind now, let's not forget that he has just exploded into a murderous scene.

In case you encounter a customer who finds fault, I am afraid that I will be scared to pee my pants on the spot.

After finishing the meal and packing up, Bastin looked at the clock hanging on the wall, which now showed the time at seven and three o'clock.

In other words, there is still an hour and a half left before the "date deadline" given by Yonghime.

So Basten put on his white gloves again and said to Jiang Chen, "Mr. Jiang Chen, can we go?" ”

"Yes, let's go...... Anyway, where did the Yongji people come from? ”

"Lord Yonghime is stationed in the 'Tianmu Logistics Corporation' in the tenth district, and you can go there to find her if you have anything in the future."

"District 10, it seems a bit reluctant to drive there now."

Each of the regions in the Federation of Stars is not connected to each other, and some may even be far apart.

According to Jiang Chen's knowledge, from this "ninth district" to the "tenth district" where Yongji is located.

The middle road is more than 200 kilometers, and it takes an hour and a half to rush through.

However, Basten shook his head, and while reaching out to Jiang Chen and making a "please" gesture, he said lightly:

"It's not reluctant, and I don't have to drive."

"What do you mean..... Hey? ”

Boom, boom, boom!

Before Jiang Chen could react, he saw a strange rumbling sound above the roof of the detective agency.

The rumble came from far to near and landed on the top of this commercial building.

When Bastin took Jiang Chen to the roof of the building to take a look, he found that a cool single-rotor tail rotor helicopter had actually landed in the open space on the rooftop!

Looking at the special flying machine that was quite rare in the Ninth District, the corners of Jiang Chen's mouth couldn't help twitching slightly.

Good guy, should it be said that it is worthy of "Tianmu Logistics", and the military helicopters used to pick up people are actually used.

In this post-apocalyptic federation, which is equivalent to the aftermath of the catastrophe, the number of various high-tech products is very small.

Even science doesn't know why it's always stagnant, and there are no high-tech products.

Because of this, Jiang Chen had never seen this kind of military helicopter that was very atmospheric at first glance in the ninth district.

Even the official helicopter of the Public Security Bureau is not as magnificent as this one, which shows the abundant resources of "Tianmu Logistics".

In this way, Jiang Chen took the helicopter and flew all the way towards the "Tenth District".

And less than an hour later, it has fallen on the top of the high-rise building of "Tianmu Logistics Headquarters".

Looking around from the top of this tall building, the "10th District" at night is lit up with neon lights everywhere.

The streets are littered with electronic billboards in red, blue, and green tones that can even dazzle at first glance.

It's as strange as if the whole city is made up of countless integrated circuit boards.

Beyond the brilliant lights, reinforced concrete buildings are lined up everywhere, like a labyrinth of stalagmites.

The sky above the area is also gray, and there is almost no green space on the street, giving the overall impression of a mixture of science fiction and dark atmosphere.

...... It's such a nasty place.,It seems like the last time I came here was a year ago.。

Whether you are walking on the ground or standing on the 99-storey building, the vertical distance of the building reaches 530 meters, and the top of the "Tianmu Logistics Headquarters Building" looks down.

Jiang Chen didn't have a good impression of this tenth district.

If he had to describe the feeling of the 10th arrondissement, it would be in just two words...... Cold.
