- Chapter 234 - Wanda's homemade "special western cuisine"
The holographic screen quickly switched from the perspective of the space telescope to the details of the research and development plan of the space battleship.
[On December 7, 2012, the simulation calculation of the first partial design drawing of the battleship passed the verification. ]
[On December 10, the battleship design drawing was successfully modeled. ]
[On December 24, all parts of the battleship were successfully assembled and named Starship One. ]
[On December 25, Starship One conducted a test flight at 7 a.m., and the following is the test flight report. ]
[Starship One took off normally, adjusted its attitude normally, entered the space environment, and began to test 722 spacecraft self-inspection items. ]
[Among them, 219 items passed the test. Due to an abnormality in the nuclear fusion reactor, Starship One lost all power and communication was interrupted. ]
[At 5:40 a.m. today, Starship Two was successfully assembled. Currently, Starship Two has arrived at the rocket launch site, and the scheduled test flight time is 3:20 p.m. 】
Seeing that Umbrella’s warship research had some setbacks, it was very close to success, and Carl was quite satisfied.
After all, Umbrella did not have a super genius like Tony Stark, so it was normal for the warship research and development to fail once or twice.
However, Carl noticed that the test flight time of Starship II was at 3 o’clock this afternoon.
It was now past 12 noon, less than three hours away from the test flight.
He planned to inspect the launch of Starship II later. If the launch failed again, he would use his ability to recover the wreckage of the starship.
Although Umbrella was a big company, it took too many resources to build a space battleship.
“Every bit of savings is a bit of savings, and the Starship No. 1 that had lost contact before can also allow Red Queen to simulate and calculate the position of Starship No. 1 that became space junk.”
“It seems that I will be busy for a while today, let’s go have lunch first.”
Carl got up from the sofa, and the bathrobe he was wearing, through atomic decomposition and reconstruction of matter, was magical, and turned into white suit trousers in a few seconds.
After changing clothes, he directly came to the private restaurant through space teleportation.
At this time, there were only three women in the private dining room: Wanda, Skye, and Gwen.
Skye and Gwen were wearing light pink pajamas and white napkins. They seemed to have been sitting and waiting at the mahogany dining table for a long time, and they yawned lazily.
The two women had obviously just woken up, and they hadn’t put on any makeup. Their innocent faces were full of collagen, and they were just as beautiful without makeup.
Wanda was wearing an orange suspender dress, and she was wearing a blue kitchen skirt in front of her high chest.
She was carrying a plate of dishes covered with a thermal cover and putting it on the dining table.
Seeing Carl coming, Wanda’s beautiful eyes suddenly curved into a crescent shape, and she smiled and said:
“Hurry up and sit down. I have learned Western food for a long time by myself. You must taste my cooking today.”
“You are cooking today?” Carl raised his eyebrows. Could it be dark cuisine?
But he was still very considerate and sat down at the dining table with an expectant look.
Looking at the full table of dishes covered with thermal covers.
“It smells pretty good, don’t you want to try it?”
Carl looked at Skye and Gwen on the side and asked for their opinions.
As a result, the two women said nothing and quietly opened the insulation cover on the plate in the middle of the table, and the fragrant aroma of tomato soup wafted out.
Skye and Gwen scooped a bowl of tomato soup respectively, buried their heads and only focused on picking up the spoon to drink the soup, and didn’t want to answer Carl’s questions at all.
This tomato soup is the only dish that can be drunk. As for other dishes, they don’t even want to touch them.
Wanda has been bored recently and started to learn Western food by herself. She often lets Skye and Gwen, two good sisters, taste the “Western food” she has spent countless thoughts on.
The two good sisters, seeing that they are all from the same family, can’t say directly that she has no talent for cooking at all, but just give a lot of opinions in a tactful way.
As a result, Wanda became more excited when she heard the opinions of the two sisters.
She had an illusion that she was indeed gifted in cooking, and the food she made was only a little flawed from perfection.
So, Skye and Gwen suffered.
Every day, the two women were forced to taste the “special Western cuisine” sent by the queen.
Considering that they were unlucky, they couldn’t let Carl have an easy time.
So the two women endured it until today.
When Carl saw that Skye and Gwen ignored him, he immediately understood something.
But with the mentality that it couldn’t be any worse, he tried to open the insulation cover of a dish in front of him.
“Wow!” Looking at the plate in front of him, a yellowish lump, mixed with unknown things in green and black.
Carl said uncertainly: “This is… mashed potato salad, mixed with onions and cucumbers?”
Wanda’s face suddenly turned black, “This is black pepper beef tenderloin pasta! What’s your look?”
“Pasta?” Carl looked at the yellow thing speechlessly. Whose noodles are all mushy?
To be honest, he felt that he was careless.
After eating this dish, even if he has a strong physique and can withstand it without diarrhea, he will probably experience an “unusual” taste feast.
So, Carl brought up another topic without leaving any trace.
“By the way, I’ll take you out for a walk this afternoon. The spaceship manufactured by Umbrella is ready for a test flight. I’ll take you to broaden your horizons.”
When Skye heard this, she said with some excitement on her pretty face: “Spaceship? Is the technology level of Umbrella Corporation advanced enough to manufacture spaceships?”
Hearing this high-tech topic, Gwen couldn’t help but show a look of interest.
Even Wanda was attracted, “You went to the universe and brought back such high technology as spaceship manufacturing technology?”
Karl nodded with a smile and explained with emotion: “I have seen a wider world during this space journey, just like the Kree Empire, one of the three major civilized empires in the Milky Way, with a territory of hundreds of thousands of light years.”
“Normal people will be ignited with ambitions, and I also have the idea of leading the umbrella out of the earth and seeing the fantastic scenery of the universe.”
“At this stage, I plan to build a space city in space near the earth that can accommodate 200,000 people at the same time.”
“The next step is to colonize the moon, establish a lunar city and an extraterrestrial colonization system.”
“After all, aliens can invade the earth, and we can naturally fight back.”
Hearing Karl’s story, Skye’s blue eyes were filled with anticipation.
“Oh my God, if we can colonize alien planets, wouldn’t that mean that humans no longer have to be afraid of the birth of the god Tiamat?”
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
The kind-hearted Gwen also thought about the problem of the gods and expressed concern:
“The space city can only accommodate 200,000 people. Wouldn’t it be like Noah’s Ark? Can’t we build a bigger space city?”
Wanda was even more curious about the alien civilization that she had never heard of, the Kree Empire, and couldn’t help but ask:
“For alien civilizations whose territory reaches hundreds of thousands of light-years, their military strength must be very strong.”
“The overall strength of the earth is still so weak. Will it rashly enter the universe to snatch resources? Will it attract the attention of the Kree Empire?”
Karl looked indifferent, waved his hand and explained: “You are overthinking. The earth is in a remote corner of the galaxy. Unless there is a big movement, it will attract the attention of the Kree Empire.”
“Under normal circumstances, would you pay attention to a poor and backward country in Africa with a population of less than 50,000?”
“Moreover, the war between the Kree Empire and the Skrull Empire has been going on for thousands of years. If nothing else happens, it may continue forever.”
“Therefore, the Kree Empire has no time to take care of a backward planet in a remote corner of the galaxy.”
Wanda looked thoughtful.
“Then let’s go see your spaceship after dinner. Come on, try the black pepper beef tenderloin pasta I made first and evaluate where there are any shortcomings.”
Karl hesitated for a long time, looking at the unknown yellow object on the dinner plate in front of him, and finally couldn’t make up his mind.
“No need! I’ll just drink some tomato soup.”
Wanda’s face was stunned, and her beautiful eyes glowed red.
“What do you mean? Do you think that because it doesn’t look good, you lose your appetite? Although the pasta I made looks a little different, it definitely tastes good.”
“I strictly followed the most popular Western food video on YouTube and made it exactly the same step by step. You will know how delicious it is only after you try it.”
Carl grimaced and glanced at Skye and Gwen, who were lowering their heads and pretending to be dead. It seemed that there was no way to avoid this meal today.
After all, this Western meal was Wanda’s wish, and she couldn’t refuse it directly no matter what.
Maybe it tastes as good as she said?
So, with the idea of giving it a try, Carl picked up his fork and poked the yellow pasta dough.
result
He lifted the whole load of spaghetti up with his fork.
Lift it up! !
Skye, who was next to him, saw this scene out of the corner of his eye and let out a “poof!” and couldn’t help laughing.
Gwen’s cheeks turned red, and the smile on her face almost overflowed.
The moment Wanda saw the fork lifting the pasta, no matter how naive she was, she would not think that the pasta itself was like this.
She was completely stunned and muttered to herself:
“It shouldn’t be. I clearly followed the process. Every step is exactly the same. It’s impossible for this kind of problem to occur.”
“Wait!” Wanda had a flash of inspiration and suddenly realized: “I understand, this pasta has been cold for a long time, that’s why it’s like this, I’ll heat it up!”
With that said, Wanda hurriedly took the plates away from the dining table and prepared to take them to the kitchen to heat them up.
Karl didn’t have time to stop him. After she left, he leaned into Skye’s ear angrily, “Are you two sisters itchy and deliberately watching my jokes?”
Skye quickly opened her mouth to complain: “This was Sister Gwen’s idea. She deliberately didn’t tell Sister Wanda the truth and insisted on letting you try Sister Wanda’s craftsmanship!”
Hearing that Skye had confessed herself, Gwen couldn’t help but glare at her good sisters, who seemed so unreliable.
Karl snorted maliciously and looked at the two women.
“Gwen is the mastermind, and Skye, your accomplice, can’t escape. You two are on your own tonight!”
Gwen curled her lips and looked indifferent. The worst she could do was lie on the bed for three days.
However, Skye felt very wronged in her heart, and she was so angry that she wanted to argue.
Wanda just happened to come back with a dinner plate.
Seeing this, she could only hold back her depression and act like she was watching a good show.
