My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 602 - 203 Talent Upgrade_2
"Crunch..." The fish cake is very crispy, with some minced fish and water chestnut mixed together and fried to a perfect crispness, which Du Xixi really likes. It’s crunchy yet retains the freshness of the fish, without any burnt taste. Instead, the water chestnut plays a role here, mixing its sweetness with the fish flavor, delicious!
There are only a few pieces of water chestnut fish cake, and Du Xixi can eat one in two or three bites, so she finished the small plate of water chestnut fish cakes in one go. She looked at the empty small plate, with some oil stains left on the snow-white porcelain, and she almost couldn’t resist the urge to swipe her finger and taste if these oil stains were as delicious as the water chestnut fish cakes.
Stop! Du Xixi restrained her chopsticks. She wasn’t hungry enough to taste the flavor of oil yet; there was still a delicious plate of water chestnut lion head waiting for her!
She placed the chopsticks on the water chestnut lion head and took a deep breath. Applying a little force to the head of the chopsticks, they pierced into the lion head, making it easier to pick up. Du Xixi simply brought the skewered lion head in front of her and took a gentle bite.
The pork is chewy, mixed with water chestnuts giving it a bit of a grainy texture, combined with slightly bland but perfectly balanced broth. Du Xixi raised an eyebrow, applied a little pressure with her teeth, and crushed the small piece of lion head in her mouth. The rich juices inside flowed out, also incredibly delicious.
Du Xixi ate the entire water chestnut lion head without blinking, then sighed regretfully. The sigh startled 2569, who quickly asked, "Madam, is the taste off? Or are you feeling unwell?"
Du Xixi had never stayed up this late without sleeping before, so 2569 worried that she might be exhausted from staying up and her body couldn’t handle it, hence the concern.
Du Xixi cast it a sidelong glance, somewhat helplessly, "Your lady’s body isn’t as weak as you think; I have Purification Talent, always recovering my body anytime, anywhere. It’s just a late night, a few hours of lost sleep. Can I not handle it?"
Actually, the Purification Talent has always been in a relatively weak state, unless Du Xixi uses it with all her might to heal someone. The Purification Talent always subtly enhances her body.
For example, during pregnancy, Du Xixi had obvious reactions earlier. Generally speaking, this month should be more uncomfortable, but with the Purification Talent, she’s now feeling much better, not necessarily feeling uncomfortable every day.
This is the benefit that Purification Talent has brought her.
"Then what’s wrong?" 2569 didn’t understand. Could it really be the taste off? Impossible, with Du Xixi’s skills, even cooking with her eyes closed, the dishes should be top-notch.
While picking up another water chestnut lion head, Du Xixi said to 2569, "I just feel it’s wrong to make something so delicious this late. Otherwise, after eating, I tend to be more awake, where’s the heart to sleep?"
"Ah?" 2569 was a little stunned. It knew Du Xixi came downstairs because she couldn’t sleep and wanted to use cooking to soothe her mood and fall asleep faster. Yet, after cooking and eating, Du Xixi was even more sleepless. What to do now?
The Star Era has some sleeping medication, but finding one effective for pregnant women without side effects, 2569 couldn’t find immediately.
While 2569 was continuously fretting, Du Xixi finished the remaining water chestnut lion head and water chestnut cake in a few bites, then comfortably put down her chopsticks, leaned back in the chair, and sighed to 2569, "In hindsight, I should’ve prepared earlier; Ke Lian would definitely love these delicacies. But Ke Lian is about to reach the frontline, and I can’t send them over."
Frontline warfare has always been serious. Aside from the Military Department dispatching supplies, other items are strictly prohibited from being accepted by the troops, fearing potential dangerous items might be mixed into the supplies, causing accidents.
The forms of Insect Clan capable of thought are only a minority, temporarily unable to think of such methods, but whether other Empires might exploit the situation to disrupt the Blue Star Empire is uncertain. Therefore, everything must be handled cautiously.
Although Du Xixi feels regret, she can only abide by the regulations of the Military Department, unwilling to cause trouble for Ke Lian or the Military Department.
