Chapter 46- Show Your Talents
Xin Xialuo hadn’t exaggerated when he said that the kitchen at the ship was big- when Yuan arrived at the said kitchen, he was stunned. Not only was it big but everything in it was also very high-end, Yuan Xi went in and walked around, exploring the east and west of the kitchen as many of the things and tools here had to be studied carefully to know what they were for.
Fortunately though, despite how the appearances and functions of many cooking equipment have been updated, the pots and pans that were indispensable remained the same. It was just that the size of some of the pots was a bit big, three meters high, and the diameter was about two meters.
It’s a pity that he doesn’t have the time to wander around as he pleases, this high-tech is simply too cool.
He found that these big pots were no ordinary pots! There is a control room under the pot, and what is inside is very simple, a wide chair with a helmet hanging from the chair, though Yuan Xi was a little unclear about how this pot functioned.
Xin Xialuo and the others were not familiar with this but An Rui knew a little bit because of being a foodie. He instructed Yuan Xi to sit in a chair and then put on the helmet.
Before he could fully comprehend what An Rui was instructing him to do, Yuan Xi had already opened his eyes and understood in an instant.
After putting on the helmet, what he saw was a shrunken pot, about the size of a usual wok, the spatula, and other accessories were also there and easy to access, he only needed to operate it as usual, which made cooking convenient and simple.
He took off his helmet, and An Rui looked at him suspiciously, “Mr. Yuan, have you used something like this before?”
Yuan Xi said, “No, why?”
An Rui frowned and replied, “Hmm, it’s nothing.”
Yuan Xi knew that he had something to say, but since he didn’t want to say it then he wouldn’t push the other to do so.
The group continued to tour and introduce him around the kitchen, and in general, the large pieces of equipment in the kitchen were like what he knew as cauldrons, which required mental transmission for simulated operation, which was very handy for Yuan Xi, as he did it without the slightest difficulty.
The chefs on the battleship are not working humans, but are operated by five intelligent nanny robots, which is also one of the causes of melancholy for the foodie four. Although the intelligent nanny robot can record a lot of recipes and make a lot of styles, in terms of taste… Tsk, they don’t dare to compliment.
It’s not unpalatable, but it’s dull- it always has the same taste. If you’ve tasted a dish once then the next time the dish is served, it would taste the same. This is because all ingredients, seasonings, and the amount of them put into the food are precise and unchanging.
They don’t know what the reason is but even if the food made by the smart nannies is completely copied from today’s chefs’ recipes, the taste is countless times worse, and they always can make all the dishes taste like one thing, which is also a very amazing feat.
Therefore, when Imiya and the others ate the dishes made by Yuan Xi, they turned their heads back to eat the robot, which is why they were in a rush to make Yuan Xi cook.
In Xin Xialuo’s words: “Damn, no matter how you eat it, every dish smells of rust.”
Yuan Xi didn’t know this- he was steadily growing more and more excited and he really couldn’t wait to try these high-end equipment and see what it was like to cook with these things.
Especially with that giant frozen fish-kun, with this kitchen, he can cook this fish whole!
Yuan Xi was in high spirits, and the foodie four group also began to drool silently, already eager to eat something.

When he said this, they couldn’t agree more, but Imiya was still a little worried, “Mr. Yuan, are you doing it alone? If you’ve never been exposed to it, it shouldn’t be easy to get started…”
Yuan Xi waved away his worries as he replied, “There’s no problem, with the help of these smart nannies, I can do it.”
Think about it this way- the smart nanny is the most familiar with these, the five of them have never been in the kitchen, and they can’t help here, especially since Yuan Xi doesn’t want them to stay. They thought in their hearts that the master cooking was like the master practicing, and he shouldn’t be disturbed!
So the five of them walked out with Zhao Zhao in tow.
Yuan Xi is full of excitement as he is left alone in such a big kitchen!
He didn’t send those guys away for anything as he also wanted to try this Kitchen God’s Blade, although this kitchen has a special knife, and the efficiency is much higher than those of ordinary knives, there is still a big gap with the instant cutting of the Kitchen God’s Blade.
Although the intelligent nanny robot is indeed intelligent- its IQ is still very insufficient, it can only understand human commands, and can operate things step by step, but it can’t think for itself or have memories. It is very different from the very humane intelligent robots that Yuan Xi has seen in the movies.
They are completely unconscious, and of course perhaps because of the peculiarities of the jobs, nanny robots do not need to have too high intelligence.
Therefore, Yuan Xi can use them with confidence, and they can follow commands very accurately.
As long as he was given authority, they would obey Yuan Xi’s orders without the slightest deviation.
Yuan Xi was in an excellent mood, looking at Mr. Big Fish who had become fresh after being thawed by Imiya, he smiled and walked over.
Although this fish is huge, it is a fish after all, and there is no difference in its internal structure, it was just that it mutated to become very, very large.
With the help of an intelligent nanny robot, there is also a mechanical arm that can be operated, so it is not difficult to deal with the big fish, Yuan Xi directly cut it into fifty large pieces.
It was at least ten catties per large piece, and after it was cut into pieces, it became much easier to process them in sections.
The head and tail of the fish are additionally intact, and the body of the fish is also classified according to the different parts.
The size of the fish was so big so it was no surprise that the fish bones were also amazingly big, and they were unexpectedly sharp and hard. Yuan Xi thought it was very interesting, so he collected some fish bones and put them in the wooden box, anyway, they could be stacked, and they occupied only one grid even when he already collected more than 300 of them.
While doing this, his ears kept ringing, Yuan Xi had already been mentally prepared, dealing with such a big fish, his proficiency would improve by leaps and bounds, and it was too much of a waste of time to look at them one by one now, so he waited to check those notifications after he was done cooking.
This system has been ringing endlessly, but Yuan Xi is not annoyed at all, he is quite happy in his heart, and he has a sense of accomplishment!
Use the mechanical arm to cut the fish in advance before removing the delicate fish meat after removing the fish bones. Speaking of which the fish is quite distinctive, the meat of the fish belly is white and tender, there was no need to taste, it would only take a look at the feel and color to know how delicate.
The flesh on the back of the fish is quite tough, the color is not pure white, but orange-red, and the texture looks a little like salmon. The meat at the tail is very different, it is very strong and heavy, the color is off-white, and the texture looks like the meat of an octopus leg.
Yuan Xi’s heart was moved as a large number of recipes had already formed in his mind.
It took a full hour to finally deal with the giant fish, and fortunately, there was this well-equipped and high-end kitchen, otherwise he really wouldn’t be able to cook such a big fish.
The only thing that made Yuan Xi feel a little regretful was the fact that the scales of this fish could not eaten, this fish scale is as big as a commonly used pot, and it is very hard, not to mention using teeth, when Yuan Xi tried to cut it with a knife, it did not even crack. If one can use this thing to cook and eat, then they must have a diamond tooth…
However, in line with the principle of not wasting anything, Yuan Xi collected these fish scales again and put them in the wooden box, anyway, he now had more squares in the wooden box, and half of it hadn’t even been full yet.
When the preparations were ready, Yuan Xi took out the blade of the kitchen god as the main event was about to begin!
Yuan Xi picked out a large piece of fish meat with the fish bones removed and began to slice it with the Kitchen God’s Blade. Don’t just look at the Kitchen God’s Blade’s physical appearance which looks very sloppy, but the sharpness can be rated to be ten out of ten. It makes people who use it feel comfortable due to the easiness of using it, as long as one moves slightly, the meat will be sliced.
Cutting all the meat was faster than dealing with it, the tens of catties of fish meat were cut in no time at all.
As expected, the Kitchen God’s Blade successfully registered the motions used previously, and when Yuan Xi brought a large piece of fish and thought to himself, he took the kitchen knife and cut it, and then it became a bunch of fish slices.
Yuan Xi was happy in his heart, and even his gaze at the tattered Kitchen God’s Blade softened a lot.
His thoughts were: Although you are ugly, your functions are very beautiful, so I still like you very much.
With the help of the kitchen knife, it didn’t take long for Yuan Xi to cut the fish into the pieces he wanted them to be, and he paid very close attention when he did so. Not only did he just slice the meat, he also cut it into pieces, cut it into shreds, chopped it into squares, made it into puree, and so on. His purpose was to make different dishes with this one fish.
The preparations were now completely ready, Yuan Xi was just now configuring how to use the highly advanced pot in front of him. Yuan Xi is still full of curiosity, looking forward to how it will work.
Because it was his first time using it, Yuan Xi used a small amount of fish first to test his abilities and taste the results. It would be a shame if he were to waste ingredients. His first method of cooking was very simple, he directly fried the fish fillet with chili. The method seemed simple but he had to pay close attention to the heat and the stir-frying, which is also what Yuan Xi wanted to test with the equipment.
Under this try, he found that the equipment was very handy, without a trace of malfunctioning, not to mention, that it relied on the helmet operation, and the huge spatula is also flexible and changeable, so there is no deviation from when cooking personally at all.
It felt like Yuan Xi had turned into a big giant, so there was no discomfort in using these huge tools.
Yuan Xi is not clear about the structure of these devices, these things are far from being as simple as Yuan Xi thinks, and the complex procedures and special structures in them cannot be explained in a word.
However, Yuan Xi is only a chef now, he just needs to make the dishes well, know how they operate, and know them by heart, and he doesn’t need to study these theories like a scientist.
Yuan Xi had delicately cooked each dish, and spent some more time and tried a little experimenting when he knew finally got the hang of it thoroughly, he started cooking in a big way!
Steaming, cooking, frying, roasting, frying… Because there are so many ingredients, Yuan Xi tried all the dishes he wanted to make! It wasn’t until the evening that the amazing fish feast was completely completed.
When the foodie quint came to the kitchen again, they were stunned when they saw the scene in front of them.
Intelligent nanny robot No. 1 stepped forward, with a crisp and pleasant voice, it said, “100 servings of fish belly with sauce, 200 servings of crispy fried fish balls, 80 servings of steamed fish, 100 servings of sweet and sour fish, 50 servings of braised fish, 100 servings of fresh fish balls, 100 servings of crispy grilled small fish fillets, 100 servings of sauerkraut fish, 200 servings of boiled fish have been served.”
Finally, Yuan Xi came out and said, “There is also a whole portion of the super-large chopped fish head pepper soup!”
Look at the dazzling array of delicacies in front of them, and the super large quantities, as well as the super conspicuous red and green chopped pepper fish head on a huge plate! The foodie four group looked at Yuan Xi at this moment, and only felt that he was exuding a god-like light all over his body!
Especially Imiya, the whole person was dumbfounded.
Yuan Xi took a deep breath, to be honest, he felt a huge sense of accomplishment- he had unexpectedly made so many dishes using the big fish, especially with this big fish head, it took a lot of work to make this chopped fish head pepper soup, and the consumption of chili peppers alone was amazing.
Fortunately, there were enough materials on the ship which was why the dish could be made smoothly, especially with intelligent robots helping him serve food into the plate, otherwise, he would be too busy to load the plates one by one.
He truly has to praise the smart nannies, their actions are quick, neat, and tireless- no matter how boring the work is, it can be done patiently, without a trace of complaint, Yuan Xi wanted to buy a few for his exclusive use.
But after thinking about it, he realized that he won’t open a restaurant, and he won’t have many opportunities to cook so many dishes next time, so forget it…
And what happened in the next moment made Yuan Xi a little dumbfounded.
Imiya rushed forward like a swift arrow and began to quickly grab these countless delicacies, with such a swift movement, a serious attitude, and a sharp body shape- people who didn’t know he was grabbing food would think that he was robbing someone of their gold and silver treasures.
As soon as Imiya moved, Ming You also immediately moved, and the nature of them being very serious foodies was exposed, fortunately, there were enough dishes, if there were less, Yuan Xi felt like these two people would fight.
Xin Xialuo was late for half a beat, a trace of chagrin flashed in his eyes, and he immediately pounced, followed by Ming Zuo, An Rui is not dominant in terms of body shape, but don’t underestimate him, although his body is fat, he has other skills such as fine eyes, accurate hands, and ruthless grasping, and so on, so he did not suffer a loss when snatching the food.
Zhao Zhao blinked and looked at Yuan Xi, “Brother Yuan Xi… They… they… What’s going on?”
Yuan Xi rubbed his forehead, and he had to say loudly, “Don’t rob others, can you eat so much at once? These things are not suitable for storage, what are you all going to do with them? Xialuo! Be careful, don’t bump into anything! ”
The foodie four-person group continued to move, and Yuan Xi had no choice but to say again, “Next time you want to eat, just tell me, and I’ll make it for you to eat.”
This sentence made their movements gradually slow down, and Imiya saw the opportunity to act and took the opportunity to snatch four boiled fish filets from Ming You’s arms.
Yuan Xi: o_o
Fortunately, because of Yuan Xi’s words, they calmed down and came to their senses, no matter how big their appetite was, they really couldn’t finish eating so many dishes.
An Rui was the most reasonable, “Let’s treat the whole ship today, let’s enjoy these dishes together!”
Thereupon…… In the days when Ye Heng was away, his wife easily put his subordinates to their places with food…
These guys are too funny 🤣
