Chapter 19 019: Swallow [Maha's Story]

In the Kerston galaxy, there are only six planets in the entire galaxy.

There are unique galaxy conditions here, with three equally large planets rotating in the center, and three small suns revolving around the three planets on the outermost sides.

A group of meteorite belts are wrapped around the outermost side to resist meteors, forming a perfect galaxy structure.

The four seasons here only change with latitude and longitude. The three stars are hot summer at the equator, and there is a difference between spring and autumn when they approach the North and South Poles from the equator. Winter exists only at the poles of the North and South Poles.

The three planets are called: Red Star, Yellow Star and Blue Star.

All the plants on the red star are red, and the vines dye the planet red.

Most of the large deserts on the yellow star, the yellow sand dyed the planet yellow.

More than [-]% of the blue star is the ocean, and the ocean dyes the planet blue.

Among the three planets, the people of Tyrone County are intelligent creatures, and other creatures have not developed intelligence.

The ancestors of the Tyrone County people invented the spherical ship by relying on the gravitational force at the center of the three planets.

This kind of spherical ship itself does not have the ability to fly, but relying on gravity and some external force to propel it, it can travel from one star to another from the junction of the three stars.

Rely on spherical ships to transport and exchange resources on the three planets, so as to continuously support each other to develop and grow.

Maha has lived on the red star of the Kerston galaxy since he was a child, in a dilapidated hotel called Red.

The red hotel is located on the equator of the red star. This is one of the few flat areas, which is convenient for the spherical ship to go back and forth between the other two planets, that is, the aviation terminal.

On this basis, the Red Hotel has a bungalow as a tavern, and behind the bungalow is a three-storey accommodation area.

There are one hundred and eight rooms, but almost every room has only one meter by two meters of activity space, which is enough to lie down and sleep.

In order to maintain and operate the Red Hotel, Ma Qi, the proprietress, does almost anything as long as it is a profitable business.

They sell breakfast in the morning, fast food at noon, and old hotels and bars in the evening, with 24-hour accommodation during the period, and of course this improper special service.

But even in this way, the gold dollars earned are not many.

This is also an unavoidable solution. There are slums behind the entire pier, which is a problem left over from history.

Coolies are the most lacking in the air terminal, and the coolies come from the slums. They are used to drinking and having fun when they have money, and they go to the dock to move goods if they have no money.

The coolies have no ambitions, they work day by day, spend money if they have money, and owe money if they are hungry and weak.

Maha's mother, Ma Qi, is a good old man in this area, and she took over the red hotel from her family.

For coolies who really have no money, food and shelter are included, so they have a lot of debt without head, and Ma Qi always says that the other party will pay it back.

Maha often asked, "Mom, how did I get here?"

Ma Qi just smiled: "You were born by me."

"And what about Dad?" Maha asked again.

Ma Qi never shy away: "One day I drink too much, and I will have you."

Just as debts are headless, many feelings have no clues.

……

People in Tyrone County become adults at the age of 40, with an average life expectancy of 150 years, and the oldest can reach 220 years old.

Ma Ha was brought up by Ma Qi since he was a child, and he has not received any cultural education. He used to go to a private school, but he couldn't study at all in the overall environment of the hotel. Ma Ha liked to hang out with the coolies on the dock.

Mother Ma Qi knew that no matter how Ma Ha was managed, Ma Ha would have to follow the coolies in the future.

I am only this child, although I have the intention to inherit the Red Tavern to Maha.But Maha, who works as a coolie, may not be able to keep this red house.

So when Maha was in Maha, Ma Qi gave Maha to Gang Damu, the only chef in red.

What I hope is that Maha can learn to cook and cook. It is better for a cook to be the owner of the hotel than to just move goods for the hotel.

Star Kirsten, cooking is a luxury.Although there are tens of thousands of years of civilization, only in recent years has a mature food system and design framework.

The age of ruthlessness and blood drinking has just passed, and science has just seen its embryonic form.

The reason is also very simple. During the years of war, Huang Xing discovered a valuable energy source similar to oil. Huang Xing recently gave up the war and after the internal reunification, he began to mediate with the red and blue stars.

The three planets of red, yellow and blue finally ushered in peace, and people began to consider higher dietary pursuits from starvation.

There is no war, and people start to learn after they calm down, making all edible food more delicious and nutritious.

But before that, the dishes cooked by cooks were only served to nobles and soldiers.

The former is to satisfy the nobles, and the latter is to make the soldiers on the battlefield have the strength to fight.

Now there are more cooks, but the level is uneven.

Chef Oki is the only chef in Red Hotel, he also has a special identity.

His cooking skills came from Huang Xing's military camp, he was a cook in the field, and now he is a deserter.

In the era on the battlefield, during the day, we practiced with cold weapons, and when it was time to eat, we left the battlefield to cook.

You can use whatever ingredients you have. It cannot guarantee that every meal is delicious, but it can guarantee a large amount and keep you full.

Da Mu always smiled wryly and said: "My brother who ate my breakfast in the morning made his share at noon, but he may not be able to eat it."

The coolies like the food made by Damu very much, the reason is that because of the cheap price, the energy can be full.

And the proprietress Ma Qi has always been adhering to the principle of small profits but quick turnover, just to keep the red business going.

Damu is a treasure picked up by the proprietress Ma Qi. When she saw Damu, she thought he was a beggar who was about to die of starvation and dared not enter the hotel.

After giving him some food, the other party asked if he could stay and cook.

Ma Qi didn't doubt it either, and let her into the back kitchen.

Tasting the other party's craftsmanship, Ma Qi instantly felt that what she had made all these years was simply inedible.

No matter what Oki makes is delicious.

Now when Ma Qi asked Ma Ha to follow her, Ma Ha was almost completely unwilling.

But what Ma Qi and Ma Ha didn't know was that Da Mu was even more unwilling.

But Ma Qi, the proprietress, had saved his life, but now that the proprietress Ma Qi has spoken, he can only admit it.

The reason for Maha's reluctance is very simple. Most of the guests Maha saw were coolies, and he couldn't see how tired they were when they were transporting goods on the spherical ship during the day.You can only see the various expenses and pastimes of the guests after they get their wages and come back.So in Maha's inherent impression, coolie is his dream.

He thinks coolie is just playing, just like himself now, as Maha who is still there, he is carefree and has money to spend.

As for the money?Of course, the regular patrons of the hotel knew Ma Qi and Ma Ha, and they knew how difficult it was for a widow, so they took care of Ma Ha as if they were their own children.If there is loose money that cannot be spent, it will also be given to Maha, especially when he is drunk.

This idea must be wrong. Under Ma Qi's continuous education, three or four of the canes were rotten, which made Ma Ha willing to learn how to cook.

With a rebellious mentality, Maha felt that being a cook was a waste of his life. Why should he start from washing dishes and touch the greasy plates of leftovers.

Da Mu is considered a rough man, and he can be regarded as able to restrain Maha with the army's tactics.

Although Maha learns to cook, he can almost do everything with half a bucket of water, but at least he has followed the learning, and the days have passed day after day.

It was the third month. Maha changed from washing dishes to being responsible for cutting meat, cleaning vegetables, peeling vegetables and adding firewood.

From day to night, after the rebate point, I started selling alcohol to get a respite.

The coolies returned from their hard work at the freight dock, sat in the tavern and drank round after round.If you have spare money, go to the back to sleep, if not, just sleep in the tavern.

If you have more money, go have fun.

Just after confirming that there were no guests who needed cooking in the kitchen, he stewed two large plates of leftover ingredients and served them on the restaurant table. One plate was for the proprietress and the staff, and the other was for Ma Ha and himself.

The chef is always the finishing touch, and everyone comes out and sits in a corner to start eating.

After washing the last wave of bowls, Maha stinks in the hall. Ever since he became a helper, he feels more and more uncomfortable every day.

It gets busy when the guests arrive.The guests had time to catch their breath after resting.

Seeing the two plates of food and everyone who had already started eating, Maha lost his temper, took off his apron and held it in his hand: "Mom! I'm quitting!"

There are still customers in the tavern, but the tavern is very lively and noisy on weekdays, everyone is watching the show, and no one cares about Maha's temper.

Ma Qi put down the tableware and walked forward quickly, washed the towel on her shoulders, cleaned it just after wiping the table, and then wiped Maha's face: "What's the matter, have you lost your temper?"

"I figured it out, what learning to cook? I'm just a handyman! I'm wronged! I haven't cooked a single dish until now!" Maha's temper immediately softened when he saw his mother.

Ma Qi asked, "Didn't you teach?"

"I have always had an idea in my mind that there will be no accidents in three days. No broken dishes, no food wasted. I will teach him. I will teach him to wash the dishes from the first day. Half a year has passed, and it takes one day of hard work. Quite a lot, but it was never more than two days, not to mention the three days I expected, so I didn't teach anything." Da Mu explained.

"I don't want to learn anymore, he just doesn't like me!" Maha threw away the apron angrily.

Da Mu pulled a large plate of stew in front of him directly in front of him, and began to eat the whole plate of food.

Maha saw it and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Don't you want to be a chef? Haven't cooked a single dish yet? The kitchen is right in front of you, go in and cook it yourself! The ingredients in it are all yours, and you can eat your own after cooking." waved.

Maha rolled up his four sleeves, rubbed his four hands together and entered the kitchen.

Damu shouted: "I just have one request, I will eat whatever you make."

After a while, Maha came out with a plate of black substance and placed it on the table.

Ma Qi saw it and asked, "You made this? It's better not to eat it."

Maha stared blankly at what he had made.Obviously he secretly learned the order of cooking by Damu, how could he come up with such a thing by himself.

Damu sneered: "Waste food. In the army, your head will be chopped off and buried in the sand."

Mother Ma Qi smelled it, pinched her nose with her hands, and the smell was not right, she quickly picked up the plate and threw it into the trash can under the table: "Forget it, Maha, I apologize, and I will learn from Mr. Damu." , insist on not making mistakes for three days..."

The stubborn Maha grabbed his mother's hand, took the plate and put it on the table.Watching the blackened food stuffed into his mouth mouthful, he vomited several times during the process.

But in the end the plate was eaten up, and even the plate was licked clean in front of Da Mu.

Maha showed his plate in a temper.

Damu was fascinated, thought for a while, then smiled, and pointed to the kitchen: "Boy, don't say I didn't give you a chance, come with me."

"What are you going to do!" Maha shouted angrily.

"Don't you want to learn how to cook? Kowtow to apprentice!" Da Mu got up and walked into the kitchen.

Maha was at a loss, and his mother, Ma Qi, patted Maha's head: "Hurry up, hurry up and go in to learn from the teacher."

At the end, there was a cabinet that Damu never allowed anyone to open, and he unlocked it with a key. Inside the cabinet was a stack of seven helmets.

Maha, who thought it was a treasure, looked at the seven helmets in confusion.

Da Mu knelt down and pointed to Maha to kneel down too.

Maha looked at a cabinet of helmets and asked, "What is this?"

"Do you know why I can't get used to you? Because you are wasting money, but do you know why I accept you as an apprentice today?" Da Mu asked back.

"Because I didn't waste it, I finished eating the bad ones?" Maha was impatient but not stupid.

"Just the way you ate, you remind me of the past. I only tell you about this, you know? Why do I look down on waste? When I was in the army. In Huangxing, yellow sand is everywhere There is no food at all. When we are in a hurry, we eat the enemy, and even eat the dead ourselves..." Da Mu hesitated to speak here.

Maha was dumbfounded, and Damu smiled: "You won't feel sick when you make delicious food, so this is a test of the chef's level. Nothing can be wasted. At that time, we really can't survive. The team fights." There were only seven of us left, so we thought about escaping. At that time, we just retreated to the aviation terminal of our country. At that time, there was a spherical ship at the terminal, and we passed it foolishly. We used tools to pry open the hatch, and two people pushed out a certain Speed, then pulled into the spaceship by hand, and closed the hatch."

Maha asked, "What are you talking about?"

"We didn't understand, so we made a big mistake. Do you know why the spherical ship took off at night? Because the spherical ship can't fly by itself, it can only be pushed from one planet to another within the shortest distance by gravity. There is only one fixed trip every day, and we took off at the farthest end foolishly at that time. Gravity threw us out of the planet, and we crossed a larger range. Originally, it would take half a day to get between one planet We walked for 63 days! Fortunately, in the end we were pulled to Red Star by the hook of the tug boat, otherwise I really don’t know what would happen. When the spherical boat opened, only I was left. And there is The seven helmets in front of you. The people on the pier were startled, I brandished a knife and ran out with six helmets.” Da Mu said, looking down at the helmets.

Six partners plus my own helmet, seven are here now.

"Why me? Why I survived because I'm the only one who can cook. I don't feel sick when I have something they can't eat. So I always feel that cooking is sinful, but today I want to In front of my brother, I will teach you one last thing." Da Mu said here, lowering his head and clapping his hands heavily on the ground.

This is an action that represents asking for forgiveness. Maha vaguely understood something based on what Damu said before.

Some things cannot be said more, Maha lowered his head and patted the ground heavily with all four hands.

Damu watched Maha's movements and laughed loudly: "Okay, I will leave everything I know to you in the future."

Da Mu helped Maha up, and Maha said as if he understood something: "Master, I promise I won't waste any more from today!"

Damu locked the cabinet with his own secrets: "Starting tomorrow, you don't need to waste any more. You don't have to do anything, just stand by and watch me do it. Recite my movements, no matter what dishes you order outside, I will make every dish I will talk about the process. Whenever you can explain a dish verbatim, start to do it. But the ugly words are up front, if it is not delicious, you will eat it all by yourself.”

"No, let me do the chores!" Maha shouted.

Damu smiled, got up and left.

Leaving Maha stunned in place, looking at the closed cabinet and reminiscing about everything that just happened.

Does Damu cook delicious food?tasty!Why is it delicious?It is to swallow what cannot be swallowed.

This is the original intention of Damu to learn to cook, and it is also something that a battlefield chef must know.

And I have to learn from Da Mu, that is, to learn the other party's ability.

Is there a future in learning from such a person?For sure, because the other party can swallow what they can't swallow.
