Chapter 78: Frontline situation

It was already an hour after luo mei made by Ye Jin was cooked, and the rice had been cooked for a long time. Ye Jin opened the lid of the pot with luo mei, and the fragrant aroma of the marinade mixed with the smell of meat slowly rose from the opened pot along with the heat, making the audience in the live broadcast room look greedily.

    [Ah ah ah this luo mei! The fragrance is so strong! Hurry up, hurry up, Xiao jin, get the meat out! We want to eat it!】

    [This smell is very strange. It smelled a bit bitter at first. But after smelling it for a long time, there is a rich and mellow aroma that makes people feel hungry.】

    [It smells so good, it smells so good. Just by smelling it, I think it will be delicious, my stomach has already started to grumble.】

The audience in the live broadcast room roared and asked Ye Jin to quickly fish out the meat. Ye Jin picked out each of the braised chicken feet, chicken wings and trotters and put them on the plate according to everyone’s requirements. 

After they were placed on the cooking table, he served a bowl of rice and said, “Okay, you can eat now.”

“Isn’t the production of this luo mei very simple? You only need to buy all the spices to make it. And this marinade can be stored for a long time, the more it is boiled, the better it tastes. You can use it to braise any ingredients, whether meat or vegetables.”

Ye Jin’s voice fell, and the audience in the live broadcast room had already brushed the barrage up, sighing at the delicacy of the braised flavor.

    【Ohh ohh I’m going to blow to burst this luo mei! The spicy and subtle sweet taste is simply poking at me. There is also this soft and waxy taste with a strong, fragrant but not greasy feeling. I can eat a large pot of it!】

    [Sure enough, good things have to be waited for, and the braised flavor that has been waiting for so long is simply a fairy food!】

    [I was just thinking about what’s delicious about this kind of scrap, but now I think it’s fun to have meat in the bones. I must try to make it myself later. It’s so delicious!】

    [+1, I can’t wait to swallow my tongue, and this marinade is also great with rice, if only the marinade was poured on the rice.】

Ye Jin watched everyone in the live broadcast room boasting while eating and didn’t say anything. Instead, he called Yu Nian and a few people who were tidying up the kitchen, and told one of them to divide a portion of the braised meat for them to eat. He then poured all the remaining marinade into a large bowl, planning to refrigerate it and keep it for next time.

The audience in the live broadcast room noticed Ye Jin’s movements while eating, and many people left messages on the barrage asking if Ye Jin’s marinade was for sale.

After Ye Jin put the marinade in the freezer, he glanced at the barrage and said, “What’s so good about this marinade? Didn’t everyone just watch the production process? After the next broadcast, you can try to make it at home according to the playback. The process is really simple.” Ye Jin noticed the time was really late, so he said goodbye to everyone and closed the live broadcast room.

After Ye Jin closed the live broadcast room, he looked at the kitchen that had been cleaned up and the few people who were eating luo mei. He wanted to pick up the light brain and send a message to Fu Chen before he remembered that he had left the Imperial Capital Star, and now he may be on the ship heading to Fulan Xing.

Ye Jin shook his head in annoyance at the thought of these things, trying to let himself put aside his miss of Fu Chen and instead try to do what he should do to reassure everyone. 

Ye Jin looked at the packaged Luo mei in front of him, thought for a while, picked up the Luo mei, and left the back kitchen of the restaurant all the way back to Fu’s house in a suspension car.

Ye Jin returned to Fu’s house and looked at the deserted house. He put the luo mei on the table and walked upstairs to help Old Man Fu down.

“Grandpa, you can’t stay in the study all the time. I made luo mei and brought it back to you today. You can taste it first to see how it tastes.”  Ye Jin said while helping Old Man Fu downstairs.

Old Man Fu seemed to be in a pretty good mood and nodded with a kind smile on his face. “Well, well, I have always been curious about what this luo mei tastes like. Let’s go and try it quickly.”

Ye Jin looked at the old man in the state of an old urchin, and felt a little relieved. After he came back, he saw the empty living room and was a little worried about the state of the old man. Now that the old man is still in the mood to talk about food, he relaxes a lot.

Ye Jin helped Mr. Fu sit down at the table, opened the insulation box containing luo mei, revealing the red color and fragrant braised pig trotters and chicken legs and chicken wings inside, and put it in front of Mr. Fu. “Grandpa, how about you taste it? If you think it’s good, I’ll continue to do it tomorrow.”

Old Man Fu looked at the various braised pork trotters in front of him, and he picked up a piece of braised pork trotters and tasted it very novelly. As soon as he put it in his mouth, his eyes lit up and he rapidly ate the luo mei.

After the first bite was swallowed, the old man quickly finished the whole piece of braised pork trotters in his hand and said, “Xiao Jin, your braised pork is too delicious. I feel that the meat melts when I eat it, and there is also a rich and heavy taste that explodes in my mouth. Although it is not as delicious as the dishes at the state banquet, it’s still delicious. It’s a unique flavor.”

Old Man Fu said and praised Ye Jin with admiration in his eyes.

Ye Jin was also very happy to be praised. Although he had often been praised by netizens in the past, it still felt different from being praised by his family. 

Ye Jin said with a smile on his face: “Since you like Grandpa, I will continue to make it for you tomorrow. After all, luo mei is meat, so although it is nutritious, in order to prevent it from being bad for your health if you eat too much, you should still match it with some vegetarian dishes.” Ye Jin said while planning what vegetarian dishes to cook on the light brain.

Listening to Ye Jin’s words, Old Man Fu was also lamenting the good fortune of his grandson while ironing in his heart. He planned to quickly settle the marriage for the two of them when Fu Chen came back from the battlefield, and when Ye Jin became an adult, he would marry him.

On Ye Jin’s side, after planning the materials to be made, he easily sorted out the recipe of boiled cabbage made at the previous state banquet, and sent it to Mr. Ye along with the braised meat recipe for them to study by themselves. 

After all, he is a member of the Ye family and wants to help the Ye family continue to develop and grow. On top of that, the braised meat sent today reflects Mr. Fu’s favorite attitude, and his grandfather probably won’t be much worse.

For a period of time after that, in addition to occasionally helping in the store, Ye Jin studied multiple dishes. He would occasionally run and broadcast directly at both ends of the Ye family and the Fu family. 

Time passed quietly for half a month. 

During this period, Ye Jin made both tempeh and stinky tofu on the live broadcast, but he never received any news about Fu Chen.

It wasn’t until three months later that Ye Jin saw a video from the military certified StarNet channel. In the video, Fu Chen and the soldiers of the Fourth Army were driving mecha and fighting in the air with people from the other side. 

One of the pure black mecha and the other silver-gray mecha fought very fiercely. From the introduction of the video, it can be seen that the black one in the two mecha is Fu Chen and the silver-gray one is the former Marshal of the First Army, Marshal Feng.

Right before the video ended, the silver-gray mecha and the pure black mecha finally had a violent impact, and the video screen went dark after the impact.

Ye Jin looked at the video that had been played on the light brain in a daze, and the worries that had been deliberately ignored surged up again, and his eyes subconsciously looked into the comment area to see if there was any credible news.

    [Ah ah ah ah ah! Admiral Fu is amazing! Unexpectedly, I haven’t heard the news for a while, and then there is a video of the battle with the rebels. The admiral’s mecha and operation are so cool! 】

    [Woohoohoohoo left envious saliva on Admiral Fu’s battle video and mecha!】

    [I really didn’t expect that the youngest marshal of the Empire would collude with the Zerg to betray the Empire. He simply lost the face of the soldiers of the First Army. He didn’t think about the soldiers who followed him at all.】

    [Don’t talk about it upstairs. The officers who followed him might not have been good. How could they not find out about his collusion with the Zerg when they often followed him to deal with their work? If there is really no one to help, could it be that he personally contacted many things? Who believes it when you say it.】

    [I hope everything goes well for Admiral Fu and that the traitor will be resolved as soon as possible and come back safely!】

    [I heard that many soldiers were injured in this battle, and they were still severely hit by the rebels and the Zerg. One of them delayed the battle, and the other was specifically responsible for attacking the soldiers who turned on the armor, deliberately causing the soldiers to lose too much mental power, causing many people’s abilities to be exhausted.

   It’s really despicable! Marshal Feng was once also a general of the Empire. Doesn’t he know what kind of damage this will cause to the soldiers? It’s so sinister!】

Ye Jin flipped his hand down the comment, and immediately stopped when he saw the comment above, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He really couldn’t understand what those who betrayed his country, in turn, helped other races to deal with their compatriots. 

To say power, status, and money, there is no shortage of people who are three or four hundred years old, and his family was still thriving in the Imperial Empire. Ye Jin didn’t understand what he was thinking at all.

Ye Jin looked at the comments in a daze and continued to flip down. In addition to Marshal Feng who betrayed the empire, many people were more worried about the injuries of frontline soldiers, and some people blindly believed that Fu Chen could win the battle.

Ye Jin kept going through the comment area for two hours, and didn’t stop until the official account updated another video. This time, the video was about the Imperial Emperor Li Zhaoxi. It turned out that he also took the Fifth Army to another frontline battlefield bordering the Zerg, just to prevent the Zerg from starting on both sides.

It can also be seen from the video that the Zergs are indeed scheming. While helping Feng Chen and Fu Chen go to war in Fulan Xing, they launched the Zerg army to move around the front-line battlefield. 

Watching the soldiers in the video ready to go, he knew that there may also be a hard battle on the front line.

After Ye Jin finished swiping the video and comments, he couldn’t settle down and felt very anxious. While worrying about Fu Chen’s safety, he wanted to know how the war was going. 

Nothing can be seen from the video alone, and this kind of video is only released by the military to stabilize the hearts and minds of the people. No one knows the real situation.

In fact, Ye Jin can directly ask Old Man Fu. After all, the current military department is jointly managed by him and the marshals of the Second and Third Army Corps.

No one knows more about the battlefield than the old man, but Ye Jin also knows that military secrets cannot be inquired about at will, otherwise they can easily be leaked or even used by interested people. 

So old man Fu and Ye Jin have always pretended that they don’t care at all, instead spend time studying medicinal cuisine every day.

Now that Ye Jin has seen the relevant news from StarNet, the mentality that could have been stable is now a little bit unbearable. Ye Jin thought about the results of his recent research, and felt faint thought in the back of his mind to follow him.

The author has something to say:

It is estimated that the story will be over in 300,000 to 500,000 words. I feel that I want to write better in the end but I am also afraid that the more I write, the more I collapse. QAQ
