Chapter 47- The Greedy Little Spatula
Tonight was a big feast for the dreadnought-class starship where thousands of soldiers are stationed, and the number of dishes made by Yuan Xi was enough, but when in front of so many people, it still seemed that there were more wolves and less meat.
Yuan Xi had no choice but to go back to the kitchen, and using the existing materials, made a lot more dishes. Fortunately, there is such a powerful kitchen- Yuan Xi was able to make thousands of meals, and not feel tired. The number of dishes was high however the types of dishes were not.
There were about twenty types of dishes with a hundred servings of each- although a hundred servings sound like a lot, the huge pot could make a hundred servings at once, it could also plate and serve them without him having to operate it, and there is also an intelligent robot nanny at work. And what should have been the most troublesome which was the cutting of vegetables also had the help of the Kitchen God’s Blade.
So despite Yuan Xi no longer being tired, because he had made too many dishes, he didn’t feel too hungry anymore.
Among the soldiers on the Benlei, only the foodie five group knew about the existence of Yuan Xi while the others didn’t know, they only thought that Xin Xialuo and the others had updated the intelligent robots and supplemented the recipes, so they made such a feast tonight.
It was a pity that the next day after Yuan Xi left, they recognized the reality… The food cooked by the intelligent robots still smells of rust…
Yuan Xi didn’t return to Qinghe Farm until it was dark. When Imiya and others parted with him, the most accurate metaphor to describe the aggrieved little eyes they showed was that of a puppy abandoned by their owner…
When Yuan Xi got home, he finally had time to look at his system panel.
Looking at this, he was pleasantly surprised, he really didn’t work in vain today when he cooked such a large number of meals at once, as it made many of his skills improve by leaps and bounds.
When he dealt with the giant fish, his proficiency in cutting had increased by 150 points and his next level up could be seen within 50 points. Collecting the fish’s bones and scales unexpectedly increased the proficiency of the collection technique by 130 points, and now the second level of the collection technique is also close at hand.
The most successful among his skills was the cooking skill which has not only been upgraded to level 2 which meant that it has accumulated 200 proficiency points, only 100 points away from level 3!
The sorting skill has also been successfully upgraded to the next level.
It’s just a pity that the cleaning skill only went up fifty points, this is because the work for cleaning, washing, and so on was mostly done by the robots and he didn’t help much with it hence the 50 points. It is still very impressive and Yuan Xi thinks he should be content.
Yuan Xi couldn’t wait to click on the upgrade reward of the sorting skill, the wooden box became an iron box, and the number of grids increased to fifty. Yuan Xi was very satisfied, with fifty grids, he could hold more things.
When he received the upgrade reward of the cooking technique, the system prompted, “The second level upgrade reward of the cooking technique: Greedy Little Spatula.” ”
Yuan Xi was stunned… he thought that the upgrade of the cooking technique would directly affect the Kitchen God’s Blade wherein something like the Kitchen God’s Blade being repaired would happen but he didn’t expect that this reward had nothing to do with the Kitchen God’s Blade as the system gave him a small spatula…
Yuan Xi blinked, what is the use of this thing? And the spatula is also desired as a glutton… Who will tell him why a spatula should be gluttonous? Will it eat?
Based on the fact that he has seen a lot of things from the system and that he has learned that he has no idea how the system works, Yuan Xi took out the small spatula from the iron box very calmly.
He thought to himself: Good spatula…
This spatula is not big. It’s better to say it’s more of a small fork rather than a spatula… Can this thing be used for stir-frying? What about fooling people?
Yuan Xi looked at the small spatula that was only as long as his palm, and he felt melancholic for a while. A manual has never accompanied any of the rewards given by the system, but it doesn’t matter, he has an appraisal instrument, and they are all from the same place, so they should know each other better.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Yuan Xi identified the small spatula, and the appraisal instrument took a while to get the result: The Greedy Little Spatula is very hungry.

There was a bit more added but it was still confusing!
Yuan Xi persevered and used the appraisal instrument to identify it many times. The appraisal instrument said that it was tired and didn’t feel love, and it decisively pretended to be dead when Yuan Xi tried appraising it for the tenth time.
Yuan Xi slapped his palms red but the appraisal instrument was silent…
Yuan Xi pursed his lips and expressed his high dissatisfaction with the incompetence of the appraisal instrument, but he couldn’t do anything, and finally, he could only turn his attention to the small spatula.
Fill it up?
Yuan Xi thought about it, went into the kitchen, and opened the refrigerator, there were some raw ingredients and, yesterday’s leftovers, should he try it? Yuan Xi took out a piece of meat left over from yesterday and put it on the table, and then took out a small spatula, wondering how he could make it eat.
After thinking about it, he finally pressed the spatula directly into the dish, and then a miracle happened!
Yesterday’s leftovers that were in the pot disappeared with a swish… Yuan Xi blinked his eyes, looking at the little spatula with wonder in his eyes, could it be that the food was really eaten by this little spatula?
As soon as his doubts arose, another astonishing scene appeared.
This little shovel… vommited!
The small spatula vomitted out the half plate of meat back into the pot, and it was all over the table… Yuan Xi suddenly had rows of black lines hanging off his head.
This little spatula coughed vigorously as if it had eaten something dirty- the spatula couldn’t speak, if it could speak, Yuan Xi speculated that the things it could possibly say were: Disgusting! Disgusting to death! What kind of broken thing did Lao Tzu eat?!
Yuan Xi’s mouth twitched, and he thought silently in his heart, this little bastard shouldn’t be called a Greedy Little Spatula at all, it is simply a picky little shovel.
Isn’t it just yesterday’s leftovers, he put it in the refrigerator so it wasn’t spoiled, how can you stop eating it?!
Yuan Xi sighed and finally resigned himself to starting to clean up, he couldn’t count on a small spatula to clean the table.
It’s a pity that the feather duster can only clean dust, oil stains, regular stains, and such kinds of dirt- for this table where food was spilled, there are meat slices, peppers, and carrots, the feather duster said that it cannot help him with it.
After finishing up, Yuan Xi decided to look directly at the small spatula, fried a dish of jade broccoli, and then put it on the table.
Then, after confirming that the food was ‘non-toxic’, the whole dish disappeared in an instant. Thankfully, it didn’t vomit the food out again.
But there was no other reaction, Yuan Xi patted it again, and the tired and “unloved” appraisal tool actually came back to life, and displayed a new set of information: The Greedy Little Spatula, very hungry, please feed it, the current satiety is: 1/1000.
…… Goodness! 1/1000 satiety. Does it mean that the dish just now only increased a little bit of satiety? Is it possible that he should feed it a thousand dishes for it to be full?
What’s with this little spatula? It’s more expensive than raising a hundred pigs!
It was not possible to feed it at the moment- for a thousand dishes, unless he borrowed the high-end kitchen of the ship, otherwise, he would only exhaust himself at home. But he had just come back from the Benlei, and it was impossible to go back this late in the night, Yuan Xi sighed, he could only let it go for now.
So, the little spatula returned to the iron box.
*
On the second and third days, the foodie five group did not come back, and Yuan Xi was busy with the affairs of the farm, and the days passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, a week passed.
The results of the presidential election have finally been announced.
Su Mingyu became the new president of the Federation without surprise.
The end of the presidential election means that a new regime is coming, the Senate, the Standing Committee, and the heads of various parts, many people have retired, and many people have taken office, but in the end, the overall situation has been decided, Su Mingyu has taken the position, and the prestige of the Ye family is also rising.
Luo Xinrui, who was defeated, already had a way out but he was still a king who was defeated in one fell swoop. The Luo family was powerful however their defeat was a sign- although Su Minyu could not move him in a short time, it was only a matter of time before the Luo family’s forces were divided.
On September 11, 8013, Su Mingyu delivered his inaugural speech.
The whole federation broadcasted it live in real-time, they activated the holographic image transmission of the star field, at that time, Su Mingyu’s image would appear in the sky above all the planets belonging to the federation, and his voice would also sound in all the star fields of the entire federation.
Su Mingyu is upright and in his prime, his appearance is not very outstanding, but he is clean and neat, very pleasing to the eye, he has a pair of eyes that are especially wise, and he often has a smile on his face, which makes his whole demeanor look very gentle, he does not have Ye Tiantong’s domineering spirit, nor is he like Luo Xinrui who has arrogance and sharpness that cannot be concealed.
He has no outstanding appearance, no soldier’s demeanor, but he has a unique charm, reassuring and calm- his voice is slow and elegant, his speech is natural and unpretentious, and the words he says are also touching.
It was a very successful speech, full of enthusiasm and power, but it flowed into the hearts of thousands of citizens like a gentle and silent stream, all the promises were proclaimed with sincerity, and all the feelings were incomparably spontaneous, infectious, incendiary, and won themselves cheers.
Ye Heng didn’t watch the live video, because he was standing at the scene at the moment.
The impact on the scene is far greater than the image, and the feeling in his heart is much stronger.
At this moment, Su Mingyu is like a seed that has been suppressed by the heavy soil for the whole winter, once the soil is broken, it blooms in an instant, and the excitement that bursts out is so dazzling.
Ye Heng moved his gaze slightly and landed on his uncle, Ye Tian.
Ye Tian was wearing the marshal’s dark black military uniform, he stood tall and proud, despite being over fifty years old, his appearance was still graceful, and his perennial battles made him impressive, always like a sharp sword, not hiding his edge, and always fearless.
All along, Su Mingyu has been like a vassal by his side… Obviously, the two of them have the same status, the same talent, and their abilities are also equal, but as long as Ye Tian is there, no one can see Su Mingyu.
But now… Su Mingyu stood at the highest point of the Federation, and he had already walked out and left Ye Tian.
Silently, he gained supreme power, and the ambitions and desires that had been carefully concealed were inadvertently revealed at such moments.
Others didn’t notice it, but Ye Heng saw things clearly.
The election was followed by an incredibly lengthy ceremony and seemingly never-ending meetings.
Su Mingyu was so busy that he didn’t even have time to eat and sleep, but even so, he came to the Ye family’s mansion on time the next night for dinner with the Ye family.
Ye Heng was naturally among them, and when he saw Su Mingyu, he saluted, and said, “Mr. President, Madam.”
Su Mingyu smiled and said, “We’re not outside, we are at your home so just act as usual.” ”
Ye Heng nodded but he did not change his posture nor did he take back his words.
When entering the house, Su Mingyu’s attitude was not the slightest different from usual, everything was in place, and there was no deviation, but it was too perfect, the more perfect things were, the more they needed to be deliberately maintained.
Su Mingyu treated them the same as before, but the Ye family is clear about the situation, and their attitudes are completely different. Su Mingyu’s current position as the president of the Federation is completely different from being their friend, brother, or anything else.
The meal was very good, Su Mingyu also accompanied Old Man Ye to talk and the two of them sat for a while before leaving.
After that, the Ye family also left the Ye family’s main home.
When he returned to their own home, Ye Heng made it clear to his father that the matter of the general election had been decided, and he was already a fiefdom so it was time to go.
Father Ye had no opinion, but the father and son locked themselves in the study again and talked for a few hours before coming out.
The next day, Mother Ye asked them about the issues she was more concerned about.
To be honest, she had been enduring all this time and was nearly at her limit, especially after seeing the hologram of her precious grandson, Mother Ye can’t wait to put on wings and fly herself to the Blue Star to meet her daughter-in-law and baby grandson.
It’s just that there were more important priorities, and it was really not the time to go during the heights of the election, but now Ye Heng is about to return to the fiefdom, isn’t it a great opportunity?
Mother Ye has never been a rigid person, she never once thought that Yuan Xi was rude for not taking the initiative to visit, on the contrary, she understood it very well, especially after listening to her son’s tone, the two are still in the love stage… It doesn’t seem to be time to meet the parents of both sides…
Goodness, she understands them so much- they were just embarrassed! Thinking back then, she was also a little embarrassed at that stage so it wasn’t that strange.
However these two people already have a son, aren’t they being a little slow? She just watched a hit drama that was about a wife who ran away with their child a while ago, and the male protagonist in it was all kinds of cold and cool while chasing his wife and hitting a home run.
Talking in bed when there is nothing to do is what a person in a relationship should do!
Looking at her son, it stands to reason that although he is not perfect, he should have many good traits. He is a super good-looking son, and he is also very cold and cool, he should be very good at chasing his wife, why is he so slow? He hasn’t been able to catch his wife for so long, it’s really worrying.
At night, she complained to Ye Hao for a while, the more she talked, the more she thought about it, the more anxious she became, and then she couldn’t hold it anymore when she looked at Xiao Yuanzhe’s cute appearance.
She said to Ye Hao, “Husband, let’s go to Blue Star, although the relationship between the two children has not been officially decided, they already have our grandson with them. We must have a statement as grandparents, since they are being subtle then we have to take the initiative.”
