Second marriage [Zerg]

When the hot pot was served on the dining table, there was no sign of the sexy gift box on the tea table.

Chu An thought, probably because Ning Bai saw that he didn't like it and threw it away.

But after all, this is the editor's wedding gift to me, at least it's a wish from a friend, so I just throw it away...

"Master..." Ning Bai's slightly confused voice interrupted Chu An's little entanglement.

He had put on his military uniform again, and now he stood respectfully beside Chu An, holding a plate in his hand, as if he was worrying about which dish to serve the hero to taste.

"The ingredients are still raw... Do you need me to help you take them back to the kitchen for processing?"

"No, no, no," Chu An smiled, and Ning Bai quickly sat down beside him, and said, "You haven't eaten hot pot before, I'll teach you."

The bottom of the pot was already boiling, the air was filled with a strong fresh fragrance, and the room that was originally slightly cool gradually warmed up.

Chu An made a pair of chopsticks by himself a few months ago. At this time, he used the chopsticks to pick up a piece of frozen egg white sliced ​​into thin slices and put it into the tumbling soup.

After a while, the frozen egg whites were cooked, and the edges curled up in a proper arc. Chu An dipped the egg white slices into the sauce he prepared carefully, and then put the cooked "artificial meat" on Ning Bai in the dish.

"Taste it." Chu An looked at Ning Bai expectantly, for some reason, he was a little embarrassed, "I made it according to my own taste, and I don't know if you can get used to it."

"..."

Ning Bai blinked, looked at Chu An ignorantly, looked at the two thin wooden sticks in Chu An's hand, and looked at the boiled egg white slice in front of him, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly put down the plate in his hand, not knowing where to touch it. A small trumpet-shaped tube came out.

He held the small tube in his mouth, held the open end of the horn against the "artificial meat", and sucked it hard.

The protein flake remained motionless, not a single bit was sucked into Ning Bai's mouth.

"Why do you... eat in this way?" Chu An looked dumbfounded, and felt embarrassed for Ning Bai, "Such a thick piece of meat, you eat it with a straw?"

Ning Bai quickly put down the "straw", stood up from the chair, and lowered his head.

"The female slave is disrespectful to the male master, please punish the male master."

Chu An raised his forehead and put his hand on Ning Bai's shoulder: "Sit down for me. This is not a question of respect or disrespect. I'm just curious. Why do you eat like this?"

Chu An came to the Zerg for eight months, and because he was afraid of revealing his feet and getting into trouble, he has been living in seclusion. The only two times he went out to do errands was to go to the community service center to register the failure of the house temperature control system, and once to go to the Rosa Treasure Store to order a wedding. Quiet, all the remaining necessities of life are solved by online shopping, I have never eaten outside, and I don’t know how the Zerg eats.

He scratched his head, turned down the heat of the hot pot, and asked Ning Bai: "If you eat like this, you can only eat liquids, right? Is it like this in the army?"

Ning Bai was obviously also a little confused. He shook his head, avoiding Chu An's gaze, and rolled his eyes, as if he was considering how to answer.

"The feeding methods of army females and ordinary worms are no different." Ning Bai said, "C-level and D-level worms chew and eat, and B-level and above worms use sucking mouthparts."

Suction mouthparts?

The popular science materials he had read before appeared in Chu An's mind——

Mouthparts are the feeding organs of insects. The mouthparts of insects are divided into five types, chewing type, chewing type, piercing type, licking type and siphoning type, among which chewing type is the most primitive type of mouthparts, and other mouthparts The species all evolved from chewing.

Ning Bai said: "I was a D-level when I was a child. Like my parents, I chewed and ate. After I was promoted to a B-level in college, I started to eat like this. Whether it is a commercial restaurant or a canteen in the army, it will be graded. Dividing the eating area is a customary rule of the insect star. If it is different from the way the surrounding insects eat, they will be ridiculed. However, military females do not care so much when fighting on the front line. The troops have a special fast-food military nutrient solution. "

"But..." Chu An found it hard to understand, "But you can't eat meat if you eat like this!"

He looked at the ceiling of his house with a very sad expression: "If you can't even eat meat, what's the point of being alive? Isn't the fun of eating hot pot just to grab the meat!"

Ning Bai said softly: "The frozen protein can be melted and washed into a paste."

Chu An shook his head like a rattle: "In our place, only seriously ill patients or very old people eat liquid every day. The taste of this kind of frozen protein is already very bad, and it has nothing to do with grassland lamb or Australian beef. Bi, you turned it into a paste and drank it. In comparison, I even think the kind of chewing you mentioned is more refreshing."

"Master, you can choose the way you like to eat at home. You are not a native of Worm Planet. I just introduced the situation, and I didn't mean to belittle C-level and D-level." Ning Bai added.

Chu An showed a gentle smile.

Yesterday, the female civil servant from the Fertility Promotion Association said something similar when she suggested that Chu An go to retest the grades - he said, "I don't mean to be classist".

Ning Bai said the same thing today.

In this deformed society, even eating in restaurants has to be divided into different areas according to grades, but everyone is still talking about the equality of grades.What a joke.

Chu An re-adjusted the firepower of the hot pot, and said loudly: "Food sex, sex, it doesn't matter what level he is. Even if you are S-level, eating hot pot with a straw is outrageous! Come on, Ning Bai, let me try using chopsticks .”

"Chopsticks?"

Ning Bai took the two thin wooden sticks from Chu An, encouraged by Chu An's eyes, tried to pick up a piece of egg white just like Chu An did just now.

A pair of hands that can skillfully operate the most sophisticated mecha equipment, but at this time they can't grasp the two simplest small wooden sticks.

The tips of the chopsticks trembled, like the trembling legs of an old man. After a long time, they failed to put the protein slices into the hot pot.

"My lord, I..."

Ning Bai's auricles were smoky red from the heat of the hot pot.

Chu An looked at him with a smile, and the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears, thinking that it would be such an interesting thing to teach foreigners to use chopsticks, and he was really an envoy of Chinese food culture.

"Don't embarrass you, let me do it." He finally took the chopsticks out of Ning Bai's hand, and said with a smile, "Tomorrow I will make another pair of chopsticks for you to use, and it will be cooked after a few more times. The food I am good at Eating with chopsticks is more convenient. Of course, if you don’t want to use it, you don’t have to learn it, it’s up to you.”

"I'll listen to the hero." Ning Bai said hastily.

"Okay, listen to me." Chu An stood up, and proudly threw a plate full of protein slices he had cut into the hot pot, "I will cook today's hot pot. Tell me what you want to eat, and I will Cook it for you and take it out."

Ning Bai's eyes widened, and he stood up "squeaky": "How can you let the hero serve you?!"

Chu An smiled: "The whole family eats a meal together, so there's no such thing as serving or not. Eat quickly, it's getting cold. Do you want to take other tableware, there are still..."

"I can do it with my hands!"

Low-level Zergs don't need tableware to chew and eat. Ning Bai stretched out his hand, grabbed the protein slices just out of the pan, and stuffed them into his mouth.

The protein sheet was very hot, and Ning Bai's hands were reddened, but he didn't seem to notice it.

The flavor of the sauce that he had never tasted made him stunned for a moment, and the silver bracelet on his left wrist was beeping, releasing a moderate current.

He chewed for a long time and swallowed the food, but he still felt that it was not enough, so he stuck out his tongue again, licking the sauce remaining on his fingertips in disbelief.

The hot pot was steaming, and Chu An stared at him tenderly: "Is it delicious?"

"Delicious." Ning Bai said sincerely, "Thank you, Xiongzhu."

"Eat more if it tastes good." Chu An was in a good mood. He poured another plate of ingredients into the hot pot, then got up and went back to the bedroom, and took out a loose home clothes.

"Take off the military uniform at home. The white military uniform is not easy to wash after eating. This is the biggest piece of my clothes. Try to see if you can wear it."

Ning Bai's belongings are only the bag of medals that Chu An got yesterday, not even a change of clothes.

Chu An understands that Ning Bai, as a major general, will definitely not lack clothes to wear, but wearing a military uniform at home is too restrictive.

Home is a place to relax and rest, he didn't want Ning Bai to be so tense at home.

Ning Bai was full of sauce and looked at Chu An in surprise.

Chu An asked: "Are you free tomorrow? You take me out to go shopping together? I have been here in Zongxing for so long, and I haven't gone out for a good shopping yet."

"I..." Ning Bai's eyes flashed with a look that Chu An couldn't fully understand.

"It's okay, you're busy with work."

"No," Ning Bai said softly, "I don't have any job right now, the order will come down soon, and I've already been dismissed."
