Moyin gave a somewhat apologetic smile.
"I'm glad you're back. Since you're here to help, could you take care of that pork elbow? I'm planning on braising some meat."
Jiuwushi pointed at the pork elbow on the chopping board and asked.
"No problem, leave this to me."
"My benefactor, can you prepare some special ingredients for me? I can make some too."
Dingyuan spoke.
"Well, what do you need?"
"Fresh lotus root, lotus root powder, flour, osmanthus, and candied fruit." Dingyuan answered.
"Hmm? What are you doing?"
Moyin asked curiously. He rarely used these ingredients. They looked like ancient delicacies.
"Lotus root powder and osmanthus cake, very light, I want to make it for you."
"No problem, then you can use the cutting board over there."
Moyin waved his hand and exchanged the materials that Dingyuan wanted from the system mall. Then he walked to the basin where the elbows were placed and began to process them.
Dadadadadada, the crisp sound of knife skills rang out rhythmically. Dingyuan quickly cut the fresh lotus root into pieces with the knife. Then he increased the cutting speed. Within a few minutes, he chopped the lotus root into paste. Then he put it into a bowl, poured in lotus root powder and mixed it evenly.
Just looking at this step, Moyin knew that Dingyuan’s cooking skills should be quite good. It seems that he can look forward to this kind of snack that he has never eaten before.
Moyin put the processed pork elbow into the stew, and then exchanged for a few live chickens to process them.
After all, there are a lot of humanoids in the command center, and at least several tables need to be set up for the New Year’s Eve dinner, so a lot of food needs to be prepared.
"Commander, are you planning to make chicken soup or something else? If you want to cook, I will adjust the menu to prevent duplication."
Jiuwushi, who was wrapping dumplings, asked.
"Oh, as for me, I'll fry a big plate of chicken for you. I'm quite confident about this."
"Well, I heard you are preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, do you need help?"
Before Jiuwushi could say anything, WA2000 suddenly stuck half of its body into the kitchen.
In fact, she heard that Moyin had returned, and after practicing cooking with Haruta, she wanted to show off in front of Moyin.
"No, no, there are enough of us. Wow, go help with the Spring Festival decorations."
The corners of Moyin's mouth stiffened for a moment, and he waved his hand calmly to indicate that WA2000 didn't need to help.
It would be fine if he ate it alone, but it would be tragic if Wow made some weird dish and everyone had to eat it at the New Year’s Eve dinner.
If all the dishes are almost eaten and only the ones cooked by Wah Jiang are left untouched, that would be quite hurtful, so the best choice is to avoid the option of Wah Jiang cooking.
"Ah! You were worried just now! You were worried, right? You thought I couldn't do it well, right?"
WA2000, who was rejected, did not leave. Instead, she went straight into the kitchen and stood next to Moyin, as if she would not give up until she was allowed to cook.
"Um, okay, can you help me peel the potatoes and wash the peppers? I'll need them for the fried chicken later."
Seeing that the option of avoiding Wajiang's cooking was blocked, Moyin had to settle for the next best thing and asked her to help.
"Humph, you actually asked me to do such a trivial thing! You are really."
Although he said so, WA2000 still took the potatoes and peeled them with a peeler, then washed the potatoes and green peppers.
Under Moyin's command, the kitchen entered a smooth operating state.
Half an hour later, a faint sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance emanated from the steamer. WA2000, who was helping Moyin wash the vegetables, sniffed and swallowed.
"What is this? It smells so good."
WA2000 couldn't help but ask.
“Lotus root starch and osmanthus cake.”
Dingyuan answered briefly and then opened the lid of the steamer. Pieces of dim sum that looked like white jade appeared in front of them.
Dingyuan picked up a piece, put it to his mouth to cool it down, and then brought it to Moyin's mouth.
"My benefactor, please taste it."
Moyin opened her mouth, and Dingyuan put the cute small lotus root powder and osmanthus cake into her mouth. The faint osmanthus fragrance and the soft taste of lotus root powder were perfectly combined together, and the sweetness was also perfect, making people want to eat a few more pieces.
"This is really delicious. Wow, 95-style, you guys should try it too. Dingyuan, can you steam more if possible? There are quite a lot of people in our headquarters. If these are taken out, they will definitely be swept away."
Moyin asked.
"it is good."
Dingyuan nodded quietly to Moyin's praise, and went back to the chopping board he had used before to process the raw materials. After tasting a piece, Wow-chan and Jiuwu-shi also praised it highly.
Not long after, three little heads popped out from the door. They were little 45, little 416, and little HK.
"Commander, Commander~ What are you guys cooking? It smells so good!"
Xiao ⑨ asked while swallowing his saliva.
"Come in, come in. I'll give you three a taste secretly. Normally you can't eat it until the evening."
Moyin waved to the three of them. Little 45 and Little 416 immediately ran to Moyin without hesitation. Although little HK hesitated for a moment, he finally couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food and walked over with the black cat in his arms.
Moyin gave each of the three people a small bowl of lotus root powder and osmanthus cake, and then heated the oil in a pan and started frying a big plate of chicken.
Soon, the mouth-watering aroma of meat filled the entire kitchen.
"Hey, Commander, give us a piece of this fried food you made!"
After eating lotus root powder and osmanthus cake, Xiao ⑨ clung to Moyin's arm and looked at the big plate of chicken in the pot and asked expectantly.
"It's not good yet."
"Then we'll wait here!"
Xiao answered in 9 seconds.
"Pfft, are you planning to have dinner right here?"
Moyin couldn't help but pinch Xiao⑨'s cute little face.
"If that's okay! Then we won't be shy!"
Xiao ⑨ said without hesitation.
"Well, eating secretly is not a good idea."
“But it smells good.”
Xiao ⑨ smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Ha, Commander, you always teach us that the first to strike is the strongest and the last to strike will suffer. Now we are the first to strike, how can you go against your own words? So it is reasonable for us to steal food!"
Xiao 45 said confidently.
"You are quite clever. You know how to use this to stop me. Okay, I will serve you each a bowl later."
Moyin said with a smile.
"You all look hungry. Commander, how about I cook a few pots of dumplings first?"
Jiuwushi proposed.
"That's fine. I haven't eaten dumplings for a long time."
Moyin nodded, and Jiuwushi picked up a plate of dumplings that he had wrapped earlier and started to boil water in front of another stove.
"Commander, I'm here to help too."
Akagi and Kaga walked into the kitchen hand in hand.
"Okay, what are you two going to do?"
Moyin greeted the two of them with a smile.
"Kaga and I can all make omelette, tempura, hamburger, octopus balls, sashimi and ramen, so you should look forward to it."
Akagi said with some pride.
"Ha, I'm looking forward to it then."
Moyin smiled.
After a while, some T-dolls who were confident in cooking, such as HK416 and G36, also joined the kitchen.
After frying the big plate chicken, Moyin served a bowl to little 45, little 416, and little HK who had been waiting on the side, and then poured the fried big plate chicken into the large basin that had been prepared in advance.
"Wow! This is spicy, but so delicious!"
Little ⑨ said happily while gnawing on a chicken leg.
"Ha, this big plate chicken tastes good only when it's spicy and salty. To be honest, it tastes a bit strong without the belt noodles, but the noodles taste good when they're just cooked. We can't cook them now."
"It's okay! Now this is already delicious, I want another bowl!"
"Pfft, looks like I need to fry some more. Oh, by the way, I suddenly remembered something, so I'll go out for a while."
Moyin washed the pot, then stretched out his hand to create a cross-border passage and walked into it.
In a hotel, a girl with hair color ranging from white to purple was writing a very long investigation report. Suddenly, she heard a voice that she had been dreaming about day and night.
"Xiao Xuefeng, come home with me for the New Year?"
"Ah! Admiral... you are here."
Xuefeng put down his pen and stood up excitedly, then turned around and hugged Moyin tightly who appeared in front of him.
"Well, I've been a bit busy lately and haven't come to see you. Have you been wronged?"
Moyin touched Xuefeng's little head and smelled the faint sweet fragrance emanating from Xuefeng.
"No, no, everyone... has been very nice to me, but I haven't been able to find out the details of the enemy you asked me to find. I failed to complete the task you assigned to me, and I'm sorry to disappoint you."
Xuefeng was a little frightened, but firmly admitted his failure.
"Well, after all, my opponent is a god. He was determined to hide from me. It's not that easy to find him. Thank you for your hard work during this period. I will take you home for the New Year."
"Go home! But... I... New Year's Day is a festive day, but I... You know my own physical condition, I will bring trouble to everyone."
Xuefeng tightly grasped Moyin's hand. She wanted to go home very much... but her physical condition would take away the luck of those around her. She was a little uneasy and didn't know whether she should go home with Moyin.
