Chapter 3 Tomato and Egg Noodles

 Despite the sense of crisis, Xiangchuan's stomach is still twitching with hunger. He is even hungrier after vomiting just now. The most important thing now is to fill his stomach quickly.

She "thought about it", opened the refrigerator and cupboard next to her, looked at the shriveled vegetables in the refrigerator, and decisively reached out to the eggs, tomatoes and flour in the cupboard. Then she rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and finally found a small

A smooth steel plate used as a chopping board. Since there was no sieve, Xiangchuan found a bowl and scooped out half a bowl of flour. She grabbed it hard in her hand. Fortunately for her, when she opened her hand, the dough was in a semi-loose state.

In other words, this is all-purpose flour. If it were low-gluten flour, she would have to find a way to make fried pasta without an oven.

But after cutting the peeled tomatoes and scalding them with boiling water, and beating the eggs with a machine, Xiangchuan suddenly thought of a question: What should I do with seasonings? There was no memory of seasonings in her mind. She in this world

I really don’t care about food!

Xiangchuan turned around and asked: "Brother Xiangqi, do we have any condiments at home?"

"Huh?" Xiangqi suddenly came back to his senses. He was stunned when he saw Xiangchuan's series of actions. "The kitchen AI is responsible for purchasing the condiments. I don't know what they are... Why don't you ask?"

AI!"

[Beep——Master Xiangqi, Miss Xiangchuan, Miss Xiangxue, good morning]

It turns out that this is what AI is called. Kagawa silently remembered it in his mind. There was no information about AI in his "memory". He in this world really didn't care about it at all.

"Kitchen AI, what seasonings are there, and where can I heat the pots on the stove?"

[Beep—Currently, a total of 5 kinds of condiments are stored in the food warehouse, including all condiments sold in the market, including salt, sugar, vinegar, chili powder, and animal oil. Food can be processed by this machine]

"Bring me a portion each of salt, sugar, vinegar and oil. I want to cook it myself. All you have to do is answer yes or no."

[Beep - The two black platforms on the right side of the sink can heat utensils. You can choose to operate manually or leave it to the machine. The salt and animal oil have been sent to the storage cabinet on the left side of the refrigerator]

"Okay... By the way, is there any garlic in the warehouse?"

[Beep——The current stock of garlic in the warehouse is 20 kilograms]

"Give me two...forget it, just give me a pound."

[Beep——has been sent to the refrigerator layer]

Is it true that garlic in this era was considered a vegetable rather than a condiment? Xiangchuan complained silently in his mind as he took out the garlic from the refrigerator, then peeled the garlic according to his "memory" and put it into a food processor to mince it.
After she took out the two porcelain jars containing salt and sugar from the cupboard, and then took out two bottles containing oil and vinegar, which were about the same height as the 1 liter capacity of X days soy sauce in the original world, the preparations started.

Finally done.

Xiangchuan placed a round pot on the heating table, heated it and added oil and minced garlic. The fumes caused by heating and stir-frying caused the kitchen AI to automatically turn on the ventilation mode to absorb the fumes. At the same time, the aroma of the stir-fried minced garlic also made the aroma

Qi and Xiangxue opened their eyes wide.

It smells so good, better than freshly baked multigrain biscuits.

The two of them were thinking at the same time and subconsciously wanted to get closer. Seeing this, Xiangchuan quickly stopped them.

"Be careful of oil splashing."

Seeing the two of them retreating reluctantly, Xiangchuan felt ashamed. He was used to cooking in the original world, so it didn't matter. The brothers and sisters in this world looked like they were otherworldly. If they were splashed with oil, they wouldn't care.

I know how much it hurts.

Add tomatoes, salt, sugar, and vinegar--thank God this is white vinegar. Before she got the bottle, she was worried that it might be old vinegar.

It was quite tiring to stir-fry eight large tomatoes. After the tomatoes and seasonings were stir-fried into a paste, Xiangchuan poured four large bowls of water into it and started to stew it - she likes a thicker soup. After the soup boiled, turn the heat to medium and cover.

Put the lid on the pot and simmer, and then she will start preparing the staple food.

Looking for a large food bowl from the cupboard, Xiangchuan scooped a few more bowls of flour from the flour box in the cupboard. After turning the faucet on and off several times, she found that the faucet now produced water according to the set program, so she simply scooped it out herself.

With a bowl of water, pour water into the flour drop by drop with your left hand, and use chopsticks with your right hand to stir the dough into dough (Kagawa: Thank God you still have chopsticks to use). After pouring three bowls of water, all the flour in the basin was mixed into dough.

Now she knows why the noodle shop owner next door to her hometown doesn’t want to make gnocchi. It’s such a tiring job, she thought, shaking her sore shoulders.

Looking at the irregularly shaped pot of flour lumps that resembled muddy soil that Xiangchuan had made, the brother and sister could not help but frown, hesitating in their hearts whether to ask them to serve some soup first. After all, the two of them were now

They were all drooling from the sweet and sour tomato aroma in the air.

Xiangchuan washed the flour off his hands and opened the lid of the pot. The aroma of tomato soup that was originally tempting was now so fragrant that Xiangqi and Xiangxue just wanted to have a nice bowl.

I saw Kagawa holding the food bowl where he mixed the gnocchi, and put the gnocchi into the soup pot little by little. The tomato soup that was originally orange-yellow now turned into red and white. It was not as scary as the two of them imagined. Instead, it looked like

It tastes unique.

"Xiaoxue...forget it, Brother Xiangqi, come over and do me a favor."

Xiangchuan called.

"Can I come over?"

Xiangqi approaches cautiously.

Xiangchuan blushed: "I'm cooking soup now, so don't worry about being splashed by oil. Go to the pair of chopsticks and stir up the gnocchi so that they don't stick together."

Xiangqi asked the kitchen AI to bring him a pair of chopsticks, and he carefully stirred the soup. The steam with the aroma of tomatoes hitting the palms and backs of his hands felt particularly novel.

After a while, all the gnocchi in the food bowl in Xiangchuan's arms were put into the pot. The volume of the soup increased by more than one-third visibly to the naked eye, but it was not finished yet. Xiangchuan asked Xiangqi to step back and picked up and scattered them himself.

Little by little, she poured the egg liquid on the edge of the soup, stirring it again and again with a spoon. Thinking of the two people behind her eating it for the first time, she cooked it for a while to make sure that the egg liquid was almost cooked and then turned off the heat.
"Okay, Brother Xiangqi, Xiaoxue, bring the bowls over, it's time to eat."

Xiangchuan stretched her waist. Although making the gnocchi was quite simple, it took her a long time to find the kitchen utensils and ingredients.

"There's no need to pick up the bowl," Xiangxue blinked her big eyes, "Just ask the kitchen AI to send a machine to deliver it."

"Ah, is that so?" Xiangchuan laughed. This was really something she had never "thought of". Thinking about it, how could she be in the kitchen when she was well-dressed and well-fed in this world? "By the way, kitchen AI, warehouse

Is there pepper in it? It’s best if it’s ground into powder.”

"Huh? Isn't pepper medicine? Are you feeling unwell?"

Xiangqi looked at her strangely.

"Ah? Is it medicine?"

Xiangchuan's eyes widened. The use of pepper as medicine was a popular use in the Middle Ages, right? How come there is a time and space reversal in this high-tech world?

"That's right, you should have learned it in biology class, right? But after all, it is not a precious medicinal material. It is easy to grow, so it is not very well-known. However, it is often used in health care products, so it is a relatively rare low-end medicinal material.

."

"Oh...oh..." Kagawa's brain was in a state of panic due to hunger. She only cared now: "Then do we have pepper at home?"

"There should be a lot of them. You and Xiaoxue hate taking medicine, so when you have a fever or an upset stomach, your parents will ask the kitchen AI to mix some pepper into the food for you to eat."

"As long as you have it, where is it? I'll get it."

"No need to go to such trouble." Xiangqi opened his terminal and did a simple operation. "I have already asked the servant to deliver it. Okay, let's go eat first."

After saying that, he hurried towards the dining table at a speed that was 20 to 30% faster than usual. Xiangxue next to him could not help but cover his mouth and laugh.

While they were chatting about pepper, the kitchen AI was operating a robotic arm protruding from the ceiling to place the pot of gnocchi on a four-legged instrument that looked like a small coffee table. The small coffee table retracted its limbs and floated in the air, slowly.

Bringing the pot to the top of the dining table, it stretched out its two forearms to lift the pot of fresh fish noodle soup in front of the three people. The platform under the pot slowly rose, and then used its hind limbs to place the pot of gnocchi on the platform.

The platform sensed the weight, sank a little more, and automatically adjusted its height.

When Xiangchuan came from the kitchen, he picked up three new bowls, handed two of them to Xiangqi and Xiangxue, and then decisively asked the machine to clear away the bowl filled with fresh fish noodle soup on the table, even if it smelled nothing.

But when she saw this gray thing, she remembered the fishy smell that hit her forehead, which was too unappetizing.

Xiangqi and Xiangxue hesitated for a while, but put aside their fresh fish noodle soup temporarily. They filled a bowl of gnocchi with anticipation and nervousness.

Xiangchuan scooped it up with a spoon and took a sip. The sweet and sour soup and the strong tomato flavor washed away the unpleasantness caused by eating fishy food before. The gnocchi was full of soup, and he felt a great sense of satisfaction when he bit it.

The two people next to them saw the expression of enjoyment on Xiangchuan's face, and finally couldn't help it anymore. Xiangqi carefully put a spoonful of gnocchi into his mouth, while Xiangxue took a spoonful of soup first. The new taste stimulated their taste buds.

, he immediately put aside the fresh fish noodle soup beside him and started to put the gnocchi into his mouth one spoon after another.

[Beep——Miss Kagawa, the call you requested has been sent]

Xiangchuan turned his head and saw a life-size starfish with red on the left and blue on the right... It should be said to be an object similar to a starfish. Its surface was not as bumpy as a real starfish, but as shiny as waxed rubber.

It had a texture that was as big as a lunch box. Although he was frightened at first sight, Kagawa immediately "remembered" that this was their servant, a bionic robot with the appearance of a starfish.

She opened the iron box, and it was full of pepper. Xiangchuan quickly held her breath. It would be terrible if she sneezed at this time. She hadn't eaten her breakfast yet. She used her chopsticks to pick out a handful of pepper, and then

Call out the kitchen AI and tell it to grind the pepper in the box into powder and put it into several seasoning jars.

Kagawa put a pinch of pepper on the chopsticks on the plate, then crushed two peppercorns with his fingers and sprinkled them into the gnocchi. He mixed it with a spoon, scooped up a spoonful and put it into his mouth.

Gradually, it tastes like that. Xiangchuan thought with enjoyment.

Xiang Qi and Xiang Xue also took two peppercorns, crushed them and sprinkled them into the soup. They tasted them carefully and found that the spiciness of the ground pepper had a different kind of aroma in the soup. They couldn't stop their hands.

Coming down.

In the end, the last drop of soup in the bowl was completely wiped out by the three of them.

This is what people should eat. Kagawa leaned on the chair and patted his somewhat full belly with satisfaction.
