Chapter 9: Teppanyaki tentacles
Xiao Yu dried his body, but when it was time to wipe his hair, he was in trouble.
He likes the hair that Cang Hai **** for him, but if he wants to dry his hair, he has to untie it first.
Too much trouble.
The movement on Xiao Yu's side stopped too quickly, Cang Hai didn't need to use his brain to know that the little mermaid was being lazy again.
"come over."
Cang Hai's voice could not be heard, Xiao Yu was not sure if Cang Hai was still angry, in order not to annoy his meal ticket brother, he chose to obediently move to Cang Hai's side.
Cang Hai didn't say anything more, just untied his long hair and pulled out the bamboo chopsticks in the middle.
Feeling the towel rubbing back and forth between the hair, and taking care of the scalp from time to time, Xiao Yu squinted his eyes comfortably and enjoyed it. When Cang Hai dried his hair, he took the initiative to ask Ying: "Let me wipe it for you too."
Cang Hai refused without thinking: "No need."
Xiao Yu just pretended not to hear: "I'm here."
The towel is soft and silky, and the feeling after contact with the skin is not unpleasant.
Cang Hai hesitated for a moment, but still chose to accept Xiao Yu's service, and reminded him: "Wipe it casually, turn around after wiping, I want to change my pants."
Xiao Yu's eyes moved down subconsciously.
The movements of his hands kept moving, but the bases of his ears quietly climbed up to Scarlet.
The moist and soft touch of the palm has a good effect of diverting attention. The towel in his hand skips over Cang Hai's plump chest muscles and well-defined abdominal muscles, and wraps around his lower back.
Cang Hai remained expressionless.
Only he himself knew that a thin layer of sweat was already dripping from his palms.
Finally, when it was over, Cang Hai hoarsely said, "Turn around."
This sullen guy.
Xiao Yu secretly slandered, and there was a little more smile in his eyes, Cang Hai when fighting the black-bearded octopus was like a god, too powerful and far away, the Cang Hai in front of him was real enough.
Although he really wanted to take a peek, and even more wanted to see Cang Hai's expression after he changed his pants, but he still held back.
After all, you have to take care of the dignity of a good brother.
Besides, he also has what Canghai has.
No, he doesn't seem to have any.
Xiao Yu lowered his head in embarrassment, his abdomen was covered with tight fish scales, so flat that he couldn't give birth to the idea of what was wrapped under the fish scales.
The reproduction process of the mermaid is not mentioned in the original book. It seems that if you want to know where his second brother went, you still need to explore it yourself.
"Okay." Cang Hai said quickly, "Put on this dress, and fasten the belt so it won't be so loose."
Xiao Yu turned around and took Cang Hai's clothes. The clothes were in a regular shape, the style was more like uniforms, and the tailoring was very decent.
There is also a leather belt around the body at the hem of the clothes, careful Xiao Yu also found that there is a leather pocket sewn on the waist of the belt, which can store small items.
After Xiao Yu put on his uniform, Cang Hai handed him the energy gun he had just used in the sea: "You take this."
Xiao Yu was immediately flattered: "No, no, this is too expensive, I can't have it!"
Cang Hai didn't give him the slightest chance to refuse, and stuffed the energy gun into his leather pocket: "In case a mermaid dives into the sea to save me, but doesn't even have the ability to protect himself."
Hearing the yin and yang in Cang Hai's words, Xiao Yu couldn't laugh or cry: "It's wrong, can't I be wrong?"
"If you know you have made a mistake, you have to correct it. I don't know how much it is." Cang Hai felt that the beating was almost done, so he began to teach Xiao Yu how to use the energy gun.
The operation of the energy gun is simple, you only need to press the trigger to fire the gun, the longer you press the trigger, the more energy the energy ball will accumulate.
But the maximum energy storage time is only five seconds, and the shot Cang Hai fired in the sea was the effect of five seconds of energy storage.
If the trigger is released at the moment it is pressed, the energy ball will be shaped like a beam of light, and of course the range and lethality will be greatly reduced.
"The launch of the energy ball requires energy, and the energy is stored in the energy tank," Cang Hai pointed to the indicator light on the handle of the gun, "When the indicator lights are all off, it means that the energy is exhausted, and energy needs to be replenished before the energy gun can continue to be used. "
Xiao Yu noticed that there were originally ten lights, but now only five lights are left, which means that the energy gun has only half of the energy left?
Before he could figure it out, Cang Hai said again: "Don't waste energy, because I don't have any energy stones that can be replaced."
Xiao Yu has read the original book, so he naturally knows what the energy stone is.
The energy stone is a universal energy source in the interstellar era, and there are many ways to obtain it, and it can also be made into energy stones for different purposes according to needs.
It's kind of like electricity on Earth, but more versatile than electricity.
"Your sword is made of energy stones?" Xiao Yu suddenly understood.
No wonder Cang Hai's sword emits a shining precious light. Don't think that the power stone is some kind of stone. Generally speaking, the carrier of the power stone is a metal that is not easy to wear, but the energy of the power stone is mostly extracted from minerals. , so it is called energy stone.
Cang Hai nodded slightly, and at the same time explained to Xiao Yu the reason why he didn't use a gun: "Long-range shooting consumes too much energy, using a long sword can save energy consumption, and when dealing with high-level beasts, its lethality is much stronger than energy guns .So the energy gun doesn't do much for me, you just need to use it."
Xiao Yu is not hypocritical: "I will make good use of it."
With the energy gun at his side, his safety is guaranteed, and Cang Hai can fight against powerful enemies without distraction.
…
After another day, the meat of the hidden-winged mantis was exhausted, so Cang Hai cut the tentacles of the black-bearded octopus stored in the interspatial ring into several sections, placed them on an iron plate, and heated them with a water energy converter according to Xiao Yu's request .
The iron plate was found by Xiao Yu from the corner of the space ring.
During yesterday's trip, Cang Hai saw that he was curious about the space ring, so he simply lent him the space ring to play with, and taught him how to perceive the items in the space ring.
According to the method Cang Hai said, Xiao Yu calmly let go of his thoughts, and carefully sensed the energy contained in the space ring.
Unexpectedly, it really made him feel it.
He originally thought that the interspatial ring was just like a warehouse, everything was placed in it, but it turned out not to be the case.
The moment he sensed the space ring, a completely different world seemed to appear in front of his eyes. He saw countless lines criss-crossing and covering the entire three-dimensional space.
He told Cang Hai everything he saw. Cang Hai was obviously surprised, but it didn't prevent him from teaching seriously.
Cang Hai told him that the end points of these lines are the end points of the space, and the intersections are the coordinates of the objects. According to the obtained coordinates and then ask for it, the item corresponding to the coordinates can be taken out from the space ring.
Xiao Yu was stunned, these coordinates were almost the same, so he had to try to pick two or three at random.
Among them is an iron plate, probably even Cang Hai has long forgotten that there is such a thing in his space.
No matter what Cang Hai thought, the appearance of the iron plate made Xiao Yu ecstatic.
He can finally eat sizzling squid! Oh no, it's the sizzling black octopus.
The tentacles of the black octopus are thicker than the other, and the fat content inside is not lower than that of squid.
So Xiao Yu boldly tried not to add oil, just gently cut the skin of the tentacles with the tip of the sword, letting the subcutaneous fat of the tentacles overflow the skin, sizzling under the roasting of the iron plate, and alluring Small oil bubbles.
Then he grabbed Cang Hai's soul seasoning and sprinkled it evenly on each tentacles.
The tentacles began to emit green smoke one after another, the strong aroma mixed with seasonings and the taste of the tentacles itself, even Cang Hai couldn't help raising his eyebrows. He originally thought that the little mermaid was just playing around casually, but he never thought that the iron plate has such magical functions. The aroma of the tentacles after roasting on the iron plate is so overbearing that it is hard to ignore.
This cooking method is really novel.
Nowadays, people have already used fully automatic cooking utensils. They only need one button, and a dish is ready in a short time.
He came from the Canghai Army. When he was on missions in alien planets, he seldom brought cooking machines with him in order to reduce the burden. At that time, he hadn't obtained this space ring, and the most important thing was to complete the mission alive rather than appetite.
As a result, he developed excellent cooking skills.
He thought that his ability to obtain local materials was already good, but he didn't expect Xiao Yu to be even better than him, and even proposed to use fire to replace the water energy converter, in the pretense of saving energy for him.
"I told you before that the efficiency of the water energy converter is extremely low, so it is unrealistic to use it to supplement the energy of the energy stone. Let's put it this way, if you want to use the water energy converter to charge the energy of the energy gun from five grids to six Ge, at least need as much water as a Taimi lake. Even if the water source here is sufficient, but the capacity of the water energy converter is so small, how long do you want to convert so much water?" Cang Hai stopped Xiao Yu in time fantasy.
Xiao Yu sighed regretfully. It seems that the energy contained in the energy stone is even more terrifying than he imagined. It is no wonder that in the original book, Gu Xijiao only got the qualification to mine resource stars once, and he can earn a lot of money.
"By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you," Cang Hai said seriously, "Do you know about spiritual power?"
Xiao Yu naturally knows that spiritual power is an important indicator of strength in the original book: "Spiritual power is a product derived from the development of the human brain, also called ideas."
"That's right, since humans have mastered the method of improving brain utilization, human genes have also begun to undergo subtle changes. Nowadays, people intuitively reflect the strength of human brain waves in numerical values. This value is the value of mental power. " Cang Hai said.
Xiao Yu nodded thoughtfully, the explanation of spiritual power in the original work is not as detailed as Cang Hai.
But he still didn't quite understand: "Why are you telling me this?"
Cang Hai was silent for a moment, he always believed that Xiao Yu was abandoned in the deserted star.
Mermaids are a social and intelligent race. Desolate Stars can naturally breed alien beasts, but it is impossible to breed mermaids out of thin air.
Of course, the mermaid's parents will not abandon their cubs at will, so Cang Hai thinks it's more like the little mermaid was robbed by star robbers and accidentally thrown on the desolate star. Since the little mermaid has not received a complete inheritance, as Xiao Yu's companion, he has the obligation to teach him some common sense of this world.
How did Xiao Yu know that his Mensao companion actually made up a complete life experience for him because he couldn't open his mouth to ask questions.
"Many people don't feel the existence of spiritual power throughout their lives, because their spiritual power is too low, and they are destined not to become top mecha fighters or mecha makers. The more advanced the mecha, the more it needs to have enough spiritual power Powerful people create and control them without certain spiritual power, all of which are empty talk.” Cang Hai thought for a moment, then continued, “I don’t know how the mermaid’s situation is, but at least in the Federation, having elementary spiritual power means Stepped into the gate of the military academy."
Xiao Yu looked at Cang Hai innocently: "So?"
Cang Hai: "..."
Well, he shouldn't expect a little mermaid who doesn't know anything to be ecstatic that he might have decent mental power.
"Teacher Cang, the tentacles are about to be cooked, don't you want one?" Xiao Yu held the bamboo chopsticks and inserted a chopstick into the flesh of the tentacles.
The full gravy is instantly squeezed out by the chopsticks, and the fine oil seeps out from the crispy golden skin. The tentacles have reached the best heat, and the pervasive fragrance makes people want to move.
Cang Hai opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't help but saliva from his mouth, so he had to accept the student's bribe and put the lecture aside.
With this remark, Canghai suddenly felt that he had made the right decision.
These tentacles that were selected to be grilled on the iron plate were carefully cleaned of barbs and scales by Xiao Yuzai from the very beginning, which was many times more delicate than his rough stewing before.
The outer skin has been grilled to the point that it is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. With one bite, the crispy outer skin, tender tentacle meat, and full gravy all explode in the mouth. feast.
He never knew that the taste of slightly processed black octopus could be so wonderful.
As for Xiao Yu, it was more straightforward, he nodded in satisfaction while eating, the grilled sizzling tentacle meat tasted like sizzling squid.
He made these tentacles according to the method of iron squid. He didn't expect it to be so delicious, and it probably has the credit for the delicious meat of the tentacles themselves.
One person and one fish ate to their heart's content, and there was nothing left.
Cang Hai finally gave up the lecture, and only handed Xiao Yu a piece of green gemstone, asking him to cut the gemstone in half without using any tools.
After Xiao Yu heard the request, he just felt incredible: "Without any tools, could it be possible to break it with your hands and bite it with your teeth?"
Cang Hai didn't expect Xiao Yu to take advantage of his loopholes: "It doesn't work either, you can only stare at it."
Xiao Yu: "..."
Does he look like a fool?
Cang Hai also probably felt that his request was a bit unreasonable, so he coughed and said in a moderate tone: "Be obedient, this is to exercise your mental strength."
Exercise mental strength?
Good thing, then he has to work hard!
After eating, Xiao Yu climbed onto Cang Hai's back again.
But this time, he only held Cang Hai's neck with one hand, and held the green gemstone in the other hand, and kept looking at it, trying to see through it.
For a long time, he carefully looked at the bright and clean gemstone, and couldn't help but wonder if Teacher Cang made a mistake in the question.
"Cang Hai, what is the name of this gem?" Xiao Yu asked depressedly.
Cang Hai answered truthfully: "Cui Li."
Emerald?
Xiao Yu Na Na said: "Isn't that one of the hardest gemstones in the legend?"
It is said that the hardness of emerald stone is comparable to that of diamond. Although in the interstellar era, many tools can easily chop hard gemstones, but Cang Hai actually asked him to use his eyes to crush an emerald emerald which is almost as hard as diamond.
What about playing?
He angrily threw Cui Li on the ground, he quit!
At this moment, the ground suddenly shook violently, and the violent shock almost made Cang Hai unsteady.
What, what's the situation.
What he threw was just an emerald, not a landmine, right?
The author has something to say:
Cui Li: First of all, I didn’t mess with any of you (smile)
