Chapter 224 McQueen Calls
"Have a taste."
Xu Weiwei picked up a beef fried bun first. She blew on it and took a bite. The skin was thin and chewy. The aroma of chives and beef filled her nose. The gravy splashed on her tongue, making her shrink a little. But the delicious taste made her ignore the heat and continue to eat while taking a breath.
Seeing her greedy look, Sifos smiled happily. "There's juice in it, be careful of the heat. Eat the cold dish first and put that aside."
Xu Weiwei obediently finished the one in her hand and then changed her target, preparing to try the Benedict eggs that were prepared for everyone.
The dish was shaped like a pagoda, with a waffle at the bottom, avocado, lettuce, cheese slices, ham slices, salmon and poached eggs on top, and then topped with a rich yellow sauce. It looked delicious. Sifos sprinkled a few sesame seeds on top to make it even better.
This dish has also appeared on the dining table at home. Although it seems to be just a simple stacking of ingredients, it actually requires a lot of skill.
The making of the pancakes at the bottom requires several steps, and the sauce and poached eggs, which are the soul of this dish, make it even more complicated.
When Xu Weiwei first saw it, she thought poached eggs were just runny eggs, but they are actually different. To make poached eggs, you need to first beat the eggs into a bowl, stir the water into a vortex with a whisk after the water boils, then pour the eggs into the vortex, cover the pot and simmer for five minutes. When you take them out, they will be plump, round and tender.
Put the poached egg on top and poke it when eating. The rich egg liquid will flow down and mix with the sauce, adding texture and flavor to the whole dish.
Any of the steps in between may cause the egg yolk to break prematurely.
But the ones prepared by Sifos were all impeccably designed.
"It's delicious!" Xu Weiwei said in surprise.
Maybe it was because she hadn’t eaten it for a long time or because her father was an excellent cook, but Xu Weiwei felt that this Eggs Benedict was better than the one made by the chef in the villa.
"Is it delicious? Dad has a secret recipe~"
"What is it?" Xu Weiwei asked curiously.
Sifos smiled mysteriously: "The unique secret must be kept secret, how can it be easily revealed. And the recipe of the Sifos family is passed down to men, not women."
"Ah? Why is this happening..." Xu said with a dissatisfied look, pursing her lips.
"I'm a man, tell me, Dad." Kane raised his hand.
"You? Wait until you have a boyfriend." Sifos said casually.
Before they finished their breakfast, the starship suddenly stopped. Everyone looked around and then looked at Seaforth.
Sifos hurriedly stuffed the last bite of food into his mouth, and then explained: "We have arrived at the 'gate' of the planet Mengmed. After eating, find a fixed seat and sit down. We are ready to go down."
Hearing this, Xu Weiwei stood up in surprise and quickly ran to a porthole. The scene outside was no longer what she saw last night. Instead, it was blue sky, white clouds, and the vast sea that stretched as far as the eye could see.
No wonder they weren’t dizzy after waking up, it turned out they had completed the space jump and arrived at the territory of the planet Mengmed!
However, there was nothing in front of her except water. Thinking of what her father had just said, Xu Weiwei's eyes suddenly widened.
No way? ! ! ! Are we going to go into the water? ! I've never heard that a starship flying in the sky can also be used as a submarine underwater!
But if you think about it carefully, if the planet Mengmed is a country of mermaids, they should live underwater. But they are not mermaids! Do they have to live in a starship forever? What is the point of traveling like this?
Xu Weiwei’s brain froze.
"Ding ding dong dong~ Ding ding dong dong..."
The communication prompt sound of the optical computer interrupted Xu Weiwei's thoughts.
Xu Weiwei glanced down and picked up the phone. She waved to the other end of the video and smiled brightly, "Uncle!"
"Well, Wei'er baby, where are you? I sent you so many messages, why didn't you reply?"
McQueen pulled his hair back, still looking fierce, like a gangster, but only those who are familiar with him know that this intimidating appearance is just a paper tiger.
Xu was surprised and quickly went back to check; "Did you send me a message?...Oh! I saw it!"
"I'm sorry, uncle. We weren't awake at that time. We were in a hurry after getting up this morning and didn't pay attention."
"It's okay, it's normal for children to sleep in. Where's your father? Why doesn't he come back?" McQueen asked puzzledly.
"Dad made a table full of breakfast for us this morning, so he probably didn't notice it."
"Okay, where are you now? To Dreammed?"
"I don't know where we are now. Dad talked about the 'gate'. There's sea below us. Our starship is now parked on the sea. Where are you, uncle?"
"My uncle is in the main city, under the sea. We'll see him soon." McQueen grinned, revealing one of his fangs.
Xu Weiwei frowned. "But uncle's clothes are dry, his hair is dry, how could he be..."
"Remember the story your uncle told you, Harry Potter? Behind platform nine and three quarters is another magical world. The same is true for Dreammead."
Xu Weiwei's mind moved, and she felt that she understood something.
"McQueen."
Sifos noticed that his daughter was on a video call, and after listening to a few words, he leaned over.
Xu Weiwei made room for him.
"Just finished breakfast. You sent me a message at six o'clock. That's really early. Are you still working so hard even on vacation?"
McQueen sighed and said depressedly, "It's Linlin. She has a morning scene that must be shot at the moment when the sun breaks. She has been getting up early for a week for that shot."
At this point, McQueen gnashed his teeth in anger: "I just don't understand, what can't be solved by technology? Why do you have to nitpick..."
Although McQueen is miserable, Xu Weiwei's focus is a bit biased: Uncle's idiom level is better than Dad's, he can even nitpick.
Seaforth nodded in agreement, wishing he could reach through the screen and shake McQueen's hand. He understood this feeling too well!
Getting up early means going to bed early the night before and not being too tired. Therefore, his brother-in-law has been abstaining from sex for a week. He should be on the verge of breaking down now.
Even more miserable than him, he can smell the meat but cannot eat it.
So miserable.
