IRDFPFCIW Chapter 5

When Jiang Tang woke up from his nap, he felt refreshed.

He stretched lazily and pinched his skinny arms. His bones were almost poking through the skin. Jiang Tang secretly vowed to get his body back to the way it was before transmigrating to this world!

The interstellar express delivery service was indeed very convenient. The machines and kitchenware Jiang Tang customized on the Star Network before his nap had already arrived.

He directed Qin Fei and George to use the machines to grind flour, while he eagerly opened the Star Network again.

He wanted to see if there were any ingredients available.

Sure enough, Jiang Tang found a section in the corner of the Star Network labeled as natural foods.

There were only a few options, and the prices… Were those extra zeros for real?!

Jiang Tang thought about his balance.

…He didn’t qualify for such purchases.

After some deliberation, Jiang Tang finally managed to buy a batch of seasonings on the Star Network.

Although they were labeled seasonings, most of them were purchases from unknown materials. In fact, some even came from industrial materials.

Fortunately, Jiang Tang had customized a small grinding machine and express deliveries in various sizes piled up in the kitchen.

After a lot of selection, processing, and testing, Jiang Tang finally obtained a relatively satisfactory interstellar version of salt, sugar, pepper, and other basic seasoning powders.

Although these seasonings were pitifully simple, they were still better than nothing!

Jiang Tang finally broke into a contented smile.

“It’s a success! Brother, come and see!” Qin Fei and George had also successfully made the flour.

Jiang Tang’s smile grew wider. He patted Qin Fei and George on the head one by one. “Tonight, we’re having chicken noodle soup!”

A bowl of hot chicken noodle soup could always soothe a tired stomach and heart.

The interstellar version of fighting chicken might have evolved over a long time, losing its bright and beautiful feathers and becoming an armor, but this made it easier for Jiang Tang to prepare.

With George’s help, Jiang Tang effortlessly removed the chicken’s outer armor, revealing the tightly packed chicken meat inside.

Jiang Tang quickly chopped the chicken into four pieces.

Since the interstellar fighting chicken was simply too large, and considering the appetites of the three of them, Jiang Tang regretfully set aside three pieces.

The remaining quarter of the chicken was cut into chunks and thrown into the pot. He put a spoonful of pepper, two slices of ginger, and a few leaves that tasted like spices. He added clean water and began simmering the soup.

Soon, the chicken soup started bubbling and a delicious aroma wafted from the pot. Jiang Tang quickly skimmed off the floating foam and turned the heat to low to let it simmer slowly.

When he turned around, Jiang Tang was startled by the sight of two people standing in the doorway of the kitchen.

Qin Fei and Lu Rongming were staring at the pot of chicken soup, their eyes glowing green as they quickly inhaled the fragrant smell.

Jiang Tang saw that they were about to drool. “Ahem, it’s not ready yet. Why don’t you go outside and sit for a bit?”

Qin Fei and Lu Rongming shook their heads vigorously. They had never experienced such intoxicating aromas from food and were unwilling to leave.

Qin Fei swallowed hard and finally managed to tear his eyes away from the pot. “Brother, what, what is this… it smells amazing…”

Jiang Tang: “…It’s chicken soup.”

It was just a simple pot of chicken soup!

Seeing their reactions, Jiang Tang couldn’t help but sigh again: Interstellar people are really so pitiful…

“This is made from the chicken we brought back this morning?” Lu Rongming asked, and when Jiang Tang nodded, he hurriedly took out what he had brought with him. “I heard you say that this thing called chicken is edible, and I was initially planning to see if I could catch another one. But I didn’t find one, I only saw this in their nest…”

Jiang Tang’s eyes lit up as he saw Lu Rongming hold up a basket containing five or six black eggs, roughly the size of ostrich eggs. He immediately made a decision, “Tonight, everyone gets an extra poached egg!”

Jiang Tang poured the flour into a bowl, added warm water and stirred until the mixture was fluffy, then started to knead the dough.

A firmer dough would yield chewier hand-pulled noodles.

After kneading for a while, Jiang Tang’s arms began to ache, so he had no choice but to hand over the arduous task of kneading to Lu Rongming.

He shook his arms. This weak body was really in terrible shape.

Once the dough was kneaded, Jiang Tang rolled it out into a large and thin sheet, then folded it repeatedly before swiftly cutting it into very fine noodles.

The knife clashed against the cutting board, creating a beautifully rhythmic sound.

Qin Fei watched in astonishment from the side. His brother surprisingly had such impressive hidden skills.

After cutting, Jiang Tang grabbed the noodles and shook them. Each noodle was evenly thick, looking cute and plump.

He dropped the noodles into a pot of boiling water and added a handful of the little greens he had plucked from the roadside earlier in the morning.

After adding a little spoonful of salt and pepper at the bottom of each bowl, Jiang Tang lifted the lid of the pot simmering the chicken soup. The rich aroma spread throughout the room, causing Lu Rongming and Qin Fei’s eyes to gleam with excitement.

Jiang Tang ladled a small amount of skimmed chicken soup into the bowls. Unfortunately, there was no chicken essence or other seasonings available, or else the soup would have been even more perfect.

He transferred the cooked noodles into the bowls, poured several large spoonfuls of chicken soup with chicken chunks over them, then added the greens on the side and finally topped it off with a round and extra-large poached egg.

A bowl of chicken noodle soup was finally ready.

Before Jiang Tang could issue any instructions, Lu Rongming and Qin Fei instinctively carried the bowls outside.

After washing his hands, Jiang Tang leisurely followed them to the dining area and sat down.

Lu Rongming and Qin Fei looked at the huge bowls of chicken soup noodles in front of them and then at Jiang Tang. It was evident that if they had tails, they would be wagging furiously right now.

Jiang Tang chuckled. “Everyone, go ahead and eat.”

Only then did Qin Fei and Lu Rongming pounce on their bowls like hungry wolves.

Jiang Tang picked up a chopstick full of noodles and chewed carefully. The hand-pulled noodles were very chewy and carried the aroma of chicken. The chicken meat surprised him as well. It was tender and delicious.

He took a bite of green vegetable, poked the poached egg, and the half-cooked runny yolk flowed out. He bit into the poached egg and took a sip of warm chicken soup.

Jiang Tang sigh contentedly. Life is good!

The two people beside him, even though not very skilled with chopsticks, were very focused on eating to the point where they could barely lift their heads. Jiang Tang felt that they looked like they wanted to bury themselves in their bowls.

Qin Fei cried between mouthfuls, “This is too delicious. I never want to drink that nutrient solution again! Wuwu, Brother, you’re so amazing. You could even do a live stream on the Star Network!”

Jiang Tang’s eyes lit up, live stream…
