My carefree life in space

Chapter 114 The Temptation of Food

Following behind the person in front, Liang Qiu arrived at a small building.

This is a three-story building, mainly white. Surprisingly, various flowers and green plants are planted outside, making the small building even more serene.

The signboard hanging on the second floor bears the words: Yan Family Restaurant.

Standing at the door, a fragrant aroma wafted out from inside. It was a scent Liang Qiu had never smelled before, yet it was incredibly enticing to his taste buds.

After taking a few deep breaths, Liang Qiu was led to the lobby by the receptionist. It was almost full of people, as it was lunchtime.

As she walked, Liang Qiu heard no conversations anywhere, only the clinking of cutlery.

Finally finding an empty table, Liang Qiu sat down.

"Hello, I'm a blogger, and I'm currently live streaming. Is live streaming allowed in your store?" Liang Qiu asked the staff.

"Yes, we don't interfere with our guests' legitimate behavior," the waiter replied politely, then placed a menu down for you. "This is our menu, please take a look."

Liang Qiu took the menu and brought the live streaming equipment closer, so that everyone in the live stream could see the contents clearly.

Braised lamb chops, braised pork belly, dry pot rabbit meat, braised chicken, stir-fried wild vegetables, candied yam... there were over a hundred dishes, which left Liang Qiu and the people in the live broadcast room stunned for a long time.

Are these dishes real? Why have they never seen them before? Some of the names are completely unfamiliar.

It's not that they're ignorant; the recipes Lin Shushu gave Yan He were written down from memory, and the ingredients all used the names from her previous life.

Even Yan He spent a lot of time matching the names with the ingredients here. And sure enough, the new names were simpler and easier to remember, so Yan He kept them.

Fortunately, the menu not only has text, but also high-definition pictures and explanations, so that first-timers are not completely clueless.

"Could you introduce them?" Liang Qiu looked at the long list of names, somewhat at a loss.

"Of course." The waiter immediately and enthusiastically explained the flavors of the various dishes to him.

In the end, Liang Qiu ordered three dishes: braised pork, braised chicken, and candied yam.

"My dear fans, I'll scout ahead for you. If it's really delicious, then you can come over later," Liang Qiu said with a smile to the live streaming equipment.

"That sounds good, I want to go now."

"Just for such a wide variety of dishes, I have to go and broaden my horizons."

"Have you noticed that no one at the nearby tables is talking? They're all busy eating."

"What does this mean? If the food isn't good, how could this happen?"

Seeing the fans' discussion, Liang Qiu was even more excited for the next dish. In fact, there was no need to doubt it; the aroma wafting through the lobby already said it all.

The dishes were served shortly afterward.

Smelling the enticing aroma, Liang Qiu squinted and took a few deep breaths.

"Fans, I'm about to start eating." After saying that, Liang Qiu placed the equipment on the other side of the table, facing him.

He first picked up a piece of the tempting braised pork and put it in his mouth. The meat was tender and melted in his mouth, and the taste was indescribable.

Without a second thought, he immediately picked up the second piece, the third piece... and only when there were two pieces left on the plate did he realize with a start that he had eaten so much in one go.

Looking at the other two dishes that were being neglected, Liang Qiu's eyes lit up; he figured these two must be pretty good too.

Sure enough, after trying them one by one, Liang Qiu had long forgotten about the live broadcast and was only focused on eating.

This made the viewers in the live stream extremely hungry. They were all waiting for Liang Qiu to comment on the taste of the dishes, but to their surprise, he ate them all without saying a word.

"No doubt about it. Just look at the streamer's expression. No one would believe he said the food was bad."

"This must be incredibly delicious. I can't even imagine what kind of delicacy could make someone so engrossed in it."

"Never mind, I'm going to ask for leave right now. No one can stop me from heading towards delicious food."

"I'll go too, maybe we can team up!"

Liang Qiu devoured the three dishes in no time.

After licking the plate of braised pork clean, Liang Qiu realized that she was still live-streaming, and that this action was rather indecent.

He gently placed the plate down and said nonchalantly to the live stream screen, "Saving is honorable, wasting is shameful."

"Host, don't bother explaining, everyone saw it."

"Exactly, you only remember us now? When you were eating alone, why didn't you remember we were here?"

Liang Qiu touched her round belly somewhat guiltily, "I'm sorry, the taste was just too good, I couldn't control myself."

The fans in the live stream weren't really angry; they started discussing the dishes instead.

"By the way, has any of you ever seen this kind of cooking method? If it's so delicious, why has it never been made even by the most high-class restaurants on the Imperial Star?"

"Now that you mention it, it's true. I've eaten at many famous restaurants on the Imperial Star, but I've never seen dishes like this before."

"You can't blame those restaurants, after all, this is how they've always eaten."

"So what about this restaurant? Why are they able to come up with new and innovative ideas?"

Not only did the viewers in the live stream have this question, but Liang Qiu was also very curious, so he called over the waiter from earlier.

"May I ask where your chefs learned their culinary skills?"

This wasn't the first customer to ask this question, and the waiter handled it with ease.

"As you've probably heard, our planet's current transformation is all thanks to the God of War and his fiancée."

Liang Qiu nodded; this was something everyone already knew.

"You only know that they helped us purify the polluted air, but you don't know that many of the ingredients we use today were discovered by Miss Lin. She not only taught us how to find ingredients, but also how to cook them."

After the waiter finished speaking, his face showed undisguised pride.

His words resonated deeply with both Liang Qiu and the viewers in the live stream.

This was all thanks to Miss Lin! My goodness, what a wonderful young lady she is! How does she know so much?

"So, all your chefs learned their culinary skills from her?"

"No, she only taught our boss, but she didn't forbid the sharing of her culinary skills, so all the chefs who came after her learned from our boss."

"Did Miss Lin say where these culinary skills came from? Did she create them herself? After all, none of us have ever seen them before," Liang Qiu asked, voicing everyone's question.

"According to the boss, Ms. Lin once said that this is an ancient Chinese cooking method. She just happened to know it and then passed it on to our boss."

"Ancient China" makes this easy to understand.

In the few remaining documents, people only know that it was an ancient country with a very splendid culture and remarkable achievements. Did it really have such an attractive food culture?
