Rebirth 2002: Nano Life

Chen Yizhe went back to the student dormitory to pack some necessities, and left the rest in the dormitory, and then returned to Xia Yi's house again.

"You said you were going to cook tonight?" To celebrate the relocation, Chen Yizhe decided to buy some food for dinner, but Xia Yi doubted whether he could cook.

"Don't worry, what kind of dishes do you like to eat, let me show you tonight and make sure you are satisfied!"

"It's all right."

"Do you eat spicy food?" Xia Yi, a girl from Hunan, nodded.

But seeing that Chen Yizhe was full of confidence, she also gave her the kitchen with all her suspicions.

Originally, Xia Yi had to go to the vegetable market with Chen Yizhe, but Chen Yizhe saw that she was still a little tired and strongly urged her to stay at home.

When Chen Yizhe returned to Xiayi's house again, there were several bags of things in his hands.

"Why did you buy so many things?" Xia Yi frowned angrily after opening the door, and reached out to take the bag.

"It's heavy, I'll bring it into the kitchen first! You put this little thing in the fish tank on the balcony first." Chen Yizhe handed Xia Yi a small transparent bag, and saw a small tortoise inside.

"Why did you still buy a turtle?"

"It's a pity that the fish tank on the balcony is empty!"

"Then why don't you buy fish?"

"It's too troublesome to keep fish, you need to change the water to get oxygen or something. It's very convenient to keep turtles, and it's fine if you don't feed them for a week or two!" The little boy's lazy answer made Xia Yi feel irritated and ridiculous.

Putting the turtle into the fish tank on the balcony, Xia Yi followed into the kitchen, and only then did she see clearly what vegetables Chen Yizhe bought, tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, palm-length prawns, small oysters, pork belly, spare ribs, and Xia Yi was dazzled.

"How much do all these things cost?"

"It's not expensive, it only cost less than a hundred yuan!" Chen Yizhe said. Among them, the shrimps were more expensive. It cost sixty-five yuan to buy three catties. In his opinion, in later generations, it was less than one hundred yuan to buy so much. More dishes, it's just as cheap as hell.

"Less than 100 yuan?" Her salary is only 2,000 yuan a month. Xia Yi was a little angry. She grew up in a poor family, and it was very difficult for her to go to university, so she was not used to being extravagant. I don't know. control.

Seeing Xia Yi frowning in anger, Chen Yizhe suddenly felt amused. At this time, the other party was more like a little girl, "Do you know Epicurus?"

Seeing Xia Yi nod, Chen Yizhe continued, "I personally prefer Epicurus's hedonism, he said in "The Purpose of Life": 'If you take away the pleasure of hobbies, you will take out the joy of love. Pleasure and the pleasure of hearing and sight, I don't know how I can imagine the good'. 'The source of all good is the pleasure of eating; even wisdom and culture must derive from it.'"

Xia Yi looked at Chen Yizhe puzzled and didn't know what he meant by saying this, but she admired Chen Yizhe a little. She even read philosophy books at such a young age. Although she knew about Epicurus, she had never read him. any works.

"Happiness is the purpose of life, and for me, food is one of the sources of my happiness, and to repeat the epicurean saying, 'Let us eat and drink, for we shall die tomorrow!'" Indeed, experienced once In death, Chen Yizhe understands the joy of life better. Life is indeed a struggle, but you can't plunge into fame and fortune. It is more important to satisfy your inner peace, such as cooking and tasting delicious food.

"I really don't know what to say about you." As a teacher, Xia Yi really didn't know how to refute Chen Yizhe, and she was more and more sure of the maturity of the other party's psychology, "How can the two of us eat so much food?"

Chen Yizhe said helplessly, "You know what the people in the dormitory call me, big stomach king, I eat the equivalent of three or four people in one meal, and these dishes will definitely be eaten."

"Really? You're not fat, do you?"

"Fat people are fat because of their poor metabolism. If you watch CCTV's Big Stomach Competition, you know that there are ten big stomach kings and nine thin!"

"But you're not skinny!"

"So I'm another other than nine!"

"Uh…"

"I'll help you wash the dishes."

"No need, don't do it tonight, I'll be responsible, and I'll see you show your hands next time." Chen Yizhe pushed Xia Yi out of the kitchen. To be honest, although he and Xia Yi met on the first day, there was a tenth difference. One year old, but the feeling of getting along with them is wonderful, very relaxed and comfortable, just like friends or even lovers who have known each other for many years.

First wash rice and cook in the rice cooker, watching Xia Yi watching TV in the living room, Chen Yizhe started his real performance in the kitchen, without a peeler and a knife, tomatoes, potatoes and carrots automatically took off the outside in his hands. Layers of skin, then tomatoes and carrots turn into lumps, potatoes into filaments, all this is like magic, the ingredients change in the blink of an eye in Chen Yizhe's hands. strong.

The shrimps are removed directly without shelling, the oysters are removed from the surface impurities and mucus, and the ribs and pork belly are removed from the blood.

How does raw food become cooked?

It is heating. It is because humans eat cooked meat with fire that their brains become larger and smarter.

And what is the nature of heating?

is to accelerate the movement of molecules.

In principle, Chen Yizhe can achieve this by letting the nanoworms promote the movement of molecules, but this process consumes a lot of energy. With so much food, it is estimated that he will faint if he can't even finish a single dish. And the cookedness of the food is only one of the points, and the other point is that it is delicious. How does it come? It is sugar, amino acid-containing compounds, and lipids such as phospholipids and triglycerides, which are decomposed and reconstituted under heating to form lactone compounds, pyridoxine compounds, etc. Volatile fragrance substances such as oxazine compounds, furan compounds and sulfides.

Just like the pork belly made by Chen Yizhe, sugars, amino acids, and lipids are degraded to produce meat flavor. At the same time, ribonucleotides, ribose-5'-phosphate and methyl furanolone also produce meat flavor through hydrogen sulfide reaction. During the heating process of meat, lean tissue imparts flavor to meat, while fatty tissue imparts unique flavor to meat products. It ends up being braised pork.

If Chen Yizhe wants to let the nanoworms complete a dish, the easiest way is to find the most delicious place to make the dish, and then the brain will record all the molecular structures in the dish, and then as long as the raw materials are ready, the eyes will be open. In the blink of an eye, a dish can be made fresh. Unfortunately, Chen Yizhe's brain is not that strong, nor does he have that much energy.

…

It was the first time that Xia Yi felt that someone was cooking so fast. Although she was watching TV, her ears were constantly listening to the movements in the kitchen. In just over an hour, she heard Chen Yizhe shouting, "Mr. Xia, you can eat! "

Then I saw Chen Yizhe take out one plate after another from the kitchen and put it on the dining table on the right side of the living room.

"It's so fragrant, how can you cook so many dishes so quickly?" Xia Yi got up and looked at the dishes on the table, carrot and tomato pork ribs soup, hot and sour potatoes, braised pork, Chaoshan special oyster fried, and some dishes that looked like Hunan famous Sea prawns with vegetable taste.

When Xia Yi entered the kitchen to get the tableware, she glanced at the kitchen, UU reading www.uukanshu. com originally thought that the whole kitchen would be messed up, but unexpectedly, it was the same as before cooking, neat and clean.

"Your hands and feet are really neat!" Xia Yi sighed to Chen Yizhe when she came back with the bowls and chopsticks. Although she has been a wife for three years, she is still clumsy in cooking. The kitchen was a mess, and the dishes she made would be disliked by her ex-husband. Thinking of her ex-husband, Xia Yi felt a little sad.

"Fast is just the technique, deliciousness is the goal! Braised pork and flavored shrimp are your Hunan characteristics, right? Just now I couldn't find crayfish in the vegetable market, so I had to use sea shrimp instead, try it and see how it tastes. ?" Chen Yizhe picked up a shrimp, peeled the head and shell, and put it in a bowl of summer clothes.

"I'll do it myself!" Xia Yi said angrily.

"Hey, have a gentleman's demeanor!" Chen Yizhe said with a smile.

"Then I'm welcome!" Xia Yi smelled very fragrant, she took a bite of the shrimp and took a bite into her mouth, only to see her eyes suddenly open round and very cute, "Delicious!"

"I didn't expect you to cook so well!"

"I have lived with my grandfather since I was a child, and I have been cooking my own meals since the sixth grade!"

"No wonder, what about your parents?"

"My parents divorced when I was very young, and I never saw my mom again. My dad has a new family in Shenzhen and rarely returns to his hometown!"

"Ah? I'm sorry."

"It's okay, to be honest, I'm used to living alone."

After the meal, Xia Yi was always asking, and Chen Yizhe was answering. Xia Yi rarely talked about her own affairs. Chen Yizhe always felt that she had a lot of stories. In fact, he wanted to say something to her, "I have wine, do you have a story? "
