Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Feeding Pigs, Slaughtering Pigs? She’s a Pig-Raising Expert

The person looking for Liang He was President Lucas.

After the Rebel Army incident on Greenfield Star ended, President Lucas took Vice President Tai Nan and the others back to Capital Star. The matters concerning Vice President Tai Nan and his assistant, Ah Jie, were also reported in full detail.

"Ah Jie is an undercover agent for the Rebel Army, so his trial’s outcome is self-evident. But as for Tai Nan..."

Since they had been colleagues for many years, in President Lucas’s view, Tai Nan was indeed at fault, but there was also the suspicion that Ah Jie had deliberately misled him. Therefore, if possible, he still hoped to give Tai Nan a chance to turn over a new leaf.

"I heard that the planet specially used to detain Fierce Beasts has always been short of manpower," Liang He offered. She had heard President Lucas’s subtext. She wasn’t a saint, but if she could let Tai Nan go to rescue more victimized animals, it wasn’t out of the question.

Her willingness to inform President Lucas of Tai Nan’s situation back then was also because she knew Lucas had been deceived by Tai Nan. However, Tai Nan himself definitely harbored malicious intentions, so the deserved punishment was still necessary.

"That’s right! Why didn’t I think of that!" Reminded by Liang He, President Lucas felt a sudden realization and clapped his hands in approval.

Detaining the Fierce Beasts didn’t mean leaving them to fend for themselves, but rather saving them while ensuring human safety as much as possible. For example, helping the Animal Research Institute to develop a cure for the Fierce Beast virus as soon as possible. This way, the Fierce Beasts could return to their normal lives.

"I’ll go contact them right now. Liang He, thank you!"

Liang He’s magnanimity and clear distinction between reward and punishment were highly appreciated by President Lucas. The solution she proposed could both give Tai Nan a certain degree of punishment and help the animals persecuted by the Fierce Beast virus. It killed two birds with one stone!

"President Lucas is truly vigorous in his old age, acting with such blazing speed." Since Liang He hadn’t avoided the others when video-calling President Lucas, Huo An couldn’t help but sigh with emotion upon hearing the old man’s resonant voice.

"It’s a very fortunate thing for the animals to be constantly guarded by someone like President Lucas." Liang He expressed full affirmation for President Lucas’s rescue cause. This was also one of the reasons why they could become good friends despite their age difference.

"You two, stop chatting for now. How about we finish cooking first?" Smelling the fragrant iron pot stew, Xu Yi was already swallowing his saliva, somewhat unable to hold back.

Liang He hurriedly opened the lid to check on the iron pot stew. After confirming it was fine, she returned to the kitchen to start preparing the other dishes.

"Alright, everyone get ready to serve the dishes and eat!"

Because everyone had been especially helpful in prepping all the ingredients, Liang He only needed to toss them in the wok to cook them, so she quickly finished making dinner.

"Wow! Everything looks so delicious!"

As it was her first time tasting Blue Star delicacies—and having only eaten a bowl of noodles earlier—Silver Feather’s appetite had long been whetted, and she was eager to dig in.

"Liang He, are there really this many recipes on Blue Star? These are all things we haven’t eaten before." Whenever Hoder thought he had tasted all of Blue Star’s delicacies, Liang He could pull out other dishes in the blink of an eye to capture his stomach.

"Let me introduce them. This is iron pot stew, sweet and sour fried pork, pork and glass noodle stew, chicken and mushroom stew, braised big bones, and stir-fried potato, eggplant, and green peppers..." There were seven people eating dinner, so Liang He naturally had to ensure there was plenty to go around. "In addition to these, there’s also the large rice wrap. I need to demonstrate how to eat this one for you all."

Under everyone’s expectant gazes, Liang He placed egg sauce, mashed potatoes, eggplant, peanuts, and other ingredients into a bowl, added a scoop of rice, and mixed it evenly. Then, she picked up a large cabbage leaf that had been washed spotlessly clean by Silver Feather, wrapped the mixture inside, secured it with plastic wrap, cut it in half with a knife, and handed the pieces to Silver Shuttle and Silver Feather respectively.

"Give it a try. Is it to your taste?"

Under the expectant gazes of the others, Silver Shuttle and Silver Feather each held half of the rice wrap and took a massive bite, stuffing their cheeks full. Their instantly brightening eyes and how they practically jumped with joy from the deliciousness were enough to prove everything.

"Quick, quick, quick! I can’t wait! I’ll wrap my own!" Hoder was the first to seize a spot, mixing the ingredients together according to Liang He’s demonstration just now. He even figured it out on his own and added some boneless dishes like the pork and glass noodles. Taking a full bite, his whole body overflowed with an aura of satisfaction. "This is too delicious!"

He originally thought it was just a casual mishmash, but it turned out to have a ’one plus one is greater than two’ effect, directly conquering Hoder.

Seeing this, Xu Yi and the others couldn’t hold back either. Even Lan Zhuo became much more active when it came to eating, polishing off half a wrap in the blink of an eye.

"Eat slowly, there are still other dishes." Fortunately, Liang He had estimated in advance and didn’t prepare too many rice wraps, otherwise, they would either have no room for the other dishes or stuff themselves to death.

"Right, right, right! Eat the dishes! Eat the dishes!"

After the baptism of the rice wraps, everyone was looking forward to the following dishes. Their partially filled stomachs allowed them to settle down and slowly enjoy the food.

"The pork and glass noodles mixed with rice are so fragrant too. Is this the joy of carbs on carbs?"

"These big marrow bones! It feels so good to eat meat in big mouthfuls! Especially paired with the plum juice Liang He brewed, it’s absolutely fantastic!"

"The sweet and sour fried pork is delicious too. It’s sweet and sour, and especially crispy. It’s just that it would be even better if the pieces were a bit smaller." The pieces of sweet and sour fried pork were a bit too large. For Silver Feather, who was eating it for the first time, swallowing it in one bite was a little difficult.

"I’ll go get the kitchen scissors and cut them into smaller pieces." Always responsive to her diners’ requests, Liang He immediately took action, cutting the sweet and sour fried pork into smaller pieces, which moved Silver Feather beyond words.

Boohoo, if she left Liang He, who else would pamper her like this?!

"The iron pot stew is also about done. Everyone can have a taste." Having just finished dealing with the sweet and sour fried pork, Liang He began to put the finishing touches on the iron pot stew, gesturing for everyone to try it.

In an instant, the wood-fired stove was surrounded by people, lining up one by one to wait for Liang He to serve the dish into their bowls. It wasn’t that they were being pretentious and insisting on Liang He’s help, but rather that Liang He was afraid they would fight over it. Since there was only one iron ladle, she had to be the one to wield it.

"The iron pot stew is super delicious too!"

"It’s tender and flavorful, and the flatbread has completely soaked up the broth. So satisfying!"

"Ahhhh! Why is everything so delicious? I can barely keep up with eating!"

"At this moment, I kind of hate myself for only having one stomach..."

By the time everyone had mostly finished the food, they were all leaning back in their chairs, unable to move. Liang He inexplicably had the illusion that she had fattened up a bunch of pigs and was just waiting to slaughter them...

"BURP~"

Silver Shuttle let out a loud burp, amusing Xu Yi so much that he burst into laughter. As a result, Xu Yi couldn’t help himself and started hiccuping. As if hiccups were contagious, Hoder followed right after...

"Take a sip of water, bend over at a ninety-degree angle, and swallow it in multiple small gulps. That should stop the hiccups." Seeing that they couldn’t stop hiccuping, Liang He recalled a method someone had once taught her and had them try it.

"Eh? It really works!" Xu Yi, who was the first to try, quickly saw results.

"Liang He, you’re amazing!"

Liang He was already used to their exaggerated praise and merely gave a faint smile. "You guys can drink more plum juice. It aids digestion and will make you feel better."

Anticipating that tonight would likely be a hearty feast, Liang He had brewed the plum juice in advance. Fortunately, the snowy weather outside did not disappoint; it hadn’t been placed out there for long before it was perfectly chilled.

"If everyone is free, there are more activities tonight. Do you want to join?"
