The Chef Rules the Last Days-Chapter 107 - 104: Spiderman on the Wall

It must be said that the residential area was constructed to be quite comfortable. After they closed all the windows in the house and drew the curtains, Su Mo started to get to work.

Outside the open kitchen, Lu Chen and the others were seated in a row at the dining table. In the kitchen, Su Niang took a bunch of bok choy from the basket, sifted through them, and rinsed them in a basin filled with water from a bucket. Meanwhile, Su Mo fished out a big basinful of shrimps from the pond, which had matured a long time ago, and began to handle them in the sink.

"These shrimps are really big," Su Niang commented, glancing at the sizable river shrimps flapping non-stop in the sink, her face alight with joy.

"Of course," God Chef products were bound to be fine goods. Each shrimp contained a trace of energy which naturally meant they were big. Su Mo adeptly removed the veins and cleaned the shrimps.

On seeing the bouncing river shrimps, Jianxiong truly and honestly drooled, prompting Zhao Changsheng to disdainfully move his stool closer to Li Qian.

"Drooling, you dunce."

Jianxiong quickly wiped his mouth and called out to the busy Su Mo in the kitchen, "Sis, if we eat shrimps this afternoon, will we still have more for tonight?"

"I guarantee you’ll have your fill," Su Mo replied with a laugh, shooting him a glare. When her gaze met Lu Chen’s, she saw a softness in the man’s eyes and blushed, turning her head away.

"My space isn’t very large, so let’s cook some extra dishes today. We can have Lu Chen store them in his space, and we can eat on the road," said Su Mo as she finished handling a basin of shrimps. She then took out some rice stored in the System Bag, poured several full cups of it, and added some water to rinse the rice.

Hearing her plans, Su Niang squatted down to rummage through the basket to see what other food was there. At the bottom there were layers of over a dozen potatoes, a few bok choy, several green onions, a bunch of dried chili, and some garlic, "We can make some hot and sour shredded potatoes and stir-fried bok choy."

"There’s even ginger!" Su Niang exclaimed, picking up the chunk that resembled a small person to inspect, "You can’t get this anymore; they’ve preserved it really well."

The vegetables they were given weren’t many, and most were just for seasoning, but Su Mo was also very pleased to hear it since she hadn’t had vegetables for a long time.

"Then let’s make some boiled river shrimp and braised Crucian Carp," she said and turned on the God Chef Brand rice cooker to cook the rice. She then summoned the pond through the panel, which contained several mature Crucian Carp swimming merrily around.

With a thought, a plump Crucian Carp suddenly appeared in her hand, flapping incessantly, "This one is the biggest, Su Niang, can you help with cleaning it? We can cook it later."

"No problem," replied Su Niang adeptly, she knocked the fish out in the sink and skillfully began to scale it with the kitchen knife.

The group sitting outside unanimously gulped as they watched the activity in the kitchen.

Su Mo had already consulted Su Niang on how to cook bok choy. She placed the flat pot on the gas stove, took out all the ingredients, and set them aside. On the cutting board, she cut the bok choy into sections, drained some water, and placed them on a plate. She then sliced some ginger and tore the chili into a few pieces.

Su Mo heated the oil in the hot pot, threw in the ginger and chili, and fried them, the scent of hot oil and chili combined in the air so intensely that Jianxiong sneezed.

When the time was just right, she added the bok choy from the plate to the pot to stir-fry. After it changed color, she followed Su Niang’s advice and added MSG, salt, and a small amount of sugar.

Switching off the heat, a ding sounded in Su Mo’s mind. The dish was ready, and what excited her was that the panel had successfully refreshed to show a new recipe.

[Name]: Stir-fried Bok Choy (Collected)

[Used Materials]: Bok Choy, Hot Pepper, Ginger, Oil, Salt, Sugar, MSG

[Skill Level]: 80%

[Flavor Score]: 7 (Out of a perfect score of 10, the higher the score, the more the bonus points)

[Status Bonus]: Wall-crawling Spiderman (Duration: 48 hours)

"Huh?" Su Mo was startled. What the heck was this status bonus, Spiderman?

Seeing her staring blankly at the Bok Choy that had just come out of the oven, Su Niang walked over and patted her, "What’s wrong?"

"Ah," she came back to her senses, picked up the dish with a smile, and said, "It’s nothing, I’ll take the dishes out."

The green leaves of the Bok Choy, shiny with oil and fragrant, were placed in the center of the dining table. She specifically warned Jianxiong, who was eagerly eyeing the dish, "Don’t sneak any bites! There’s a new status with this dish that I’m not very clear about yet."

Jianxiong nodded his head, his eyes fixated on the Bok Choy without blinking, "I won’t sneak any bites."

Pleased with his promise, Su Mo satisfactorily returned to the kitchen. Cooking the river shrimp was much simpler, and she guessed that simply boiling them in water wouldn’t result in any status bonus, so she directly used the gas stove in the kitchen, which had a big pot on top that could fit all of the river shrimp. freewёbnoνel-com

The dipping sauce was prepared by Su Niang, who told her to keep an eye on the shrimp while she started making braised Crucian Carp.

The recipe was the same, this time with ginger to remove the fishy smell, which made the taste much better, and the bonus accordingly increased.

[Name]: Braised Crucian Carp (Collected)

[Used materials]: Crucian Carp, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce...(Collection complete)

[Skill Level]: 80%

[Flavor score]: 7 (Full score is 10, the higher the score, the more bonus points)

[Status bonus]: Strength Points +6 (Duration 72 hours)

The shrimp cooked very quickly. By the time she brought the fish out, a full bowl of shrimp had already been placed on the table. They were plump and the meat had an appealing color, beside it the dark dipping sauce was sprinkled with some chopped green onion for garnish.

"Just one more dish of shredded potatoes and then we can eat," said Su Mo before turning back into the kitchen.

There were many of them, so Su Niang took out several more potatoes and shredded them, filling up two large plates. Su Mo’s Flat Pot was a bit small for these shredded potatoes, so she collected the Flat Pot and switched to using the large iron pot on the gas stove instead.

With Su Niang acting as a walking recipe book, Su Mo listened to her instructions and added some water to the pot to boil before adding salt to blanch the shredded potatoes, then fished them out and set them aside. Seeing Su Mo busy, Su Niang had already prepared the ginger, garlic, and onions for her.

Just as usual, she first fried the ingredients in the hot pot to release their fragrance.

"If only we had some green peppers, it would smell even better," Su Niang said, standing aside and smelling the aroma.

Su Mo nodded, and when the time was right, she added the blanched shredded potatoes to the pot, turned the gas stove’s flame to the maximum, and stir-fried fiercely. When it was about time, she added salt and MSG, then poured in a little vinegar and stir-fried everything together before successfully taking it out of the pot onto two large plates.

"It smells so good, sister!" Jianxiong couldn’t stop salivating. Li Qian was also tempted by the aroma, and Zhao Changsheng, with his fox-like eyes, glared at the dining table with a hunger like a wolf, while only Lu Chen continued to maintain his aloof demeanor with restraint.

"Alright, alright, go serve the rice, the rice in the pot is ready too," Su Mo said, placing two plates of shredded potatoes on the table, completing the lineup of dishes. Lu Chen flipped his palm, and several sets of bowls and chopsticks appeared. After everyone got their share, she also took out two pairs of bowls and chopsticks from her System Bag and scooped two bowls of rice.

After she came back from serving rice and sat down next to Lu Chen, the man nodded his head in approval, allowing Jianxiong and the others to start their meal, "Let’s eat."

Only after receiving Lu Chen’s permission did everyone begin to move their chopsticks.
