The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers-Chapter 825: Stingy
When they smoothly sailed into the 38th jump point, the tension in the students, including Ji You, slightly eased.
Main control room of the cockpit.
Ji You, Xuzhou, Zhang Ye, Lou, and Lance sat in the driver’s seat. Xuzhou stared at the navigation chart, his coarse and slightly childish face having matured somewhat through this period of honing, becoming more stable, giving the impression of increased maturity.
Inside the monitor.
The spaceship steadily traveled along the preset course. Xuzhou said in a deep voice, "Estimated entry to Kite Space Station in 30 minutes and 53 seconds. Our energy reserves are currently: 65%. Power system, weapons system... inspections completed, everything is running well, should we enter Kite Space Station?"
Arriving at Kite Space Station means leaving the most dangerous area, temporarily lifting the crisis.
Ji You thought for a while and said, "Can you work with Zhang Ye, Lou, and Lance to keep the spaceship running at full speed?"
Xuzhou said, "I can."
Zhang Yedao said, "I can."
Lance said, "I can."
Lou said, "I can."
Four voices with a unified ’I can,’ powerful and sonorous, resonated.
Ji You looked at the navigation chart and said, "Then, move forward at full speed."
This meant deciding not to enter Kite Space Station for resupply and to continue navigating.
Xuzhou and the others straightened their backs and said, "Yes."
As the words fell, suddenly a slightly cool voice came from beside them: "I’m hungry, let’s head into Kite Space Station to eat later."
Ji You was stunned, turned his head, and found it was Teacher Mu Jianling, quickly saying, "Teacher, did you rest well?"
Mu Jianling had her arms crossed, still with a serious expression, and walked into the cockpit. She raised her eyes, glanced around, and slightly nodded with satisfaction; then she checked the navigation chart, finding everything normal.
Hearing Ji You’s concerned inquiry, Mu Jianling raised her brows and said lightly, "Hmm."
However, she hadn’t truly slept, entering the rest room to avoid contact with the students in order to observe their subsequent performance.
Facts proved that they were a group of very excellent children.
When she had clearly stepped back, not involving herself in anything. Without her reminders, orders, or help, they still managed to steer the spaceship steadily into the target course.
All the students maintained high vigilance throughout the ship, with no one relaxing or slacking off, all meticulously completing their tasks.
This is growth.
Mu Jianling felt very gratified inside.
Beside her.
Ji You asked, "Teacher, are you hungry? How about I cook something for you to snack on now?"
Mu Jianling: "Okay."
Then.
Ji You stood motionless.
Mu Jianling glanced at Ji You with some confusion: "Not starting yet?"
"Ahem..." Ji You grinned: "Well, Teacher, you haven’t given me the ingredients yet."
Mu Jianling: "..."
To think this little rascal had such filial piety, willing to offer up food from her Space Button for her own cooking, actually, the ingredients had to be provided by herself.
Mu Jianling thought for a while, and then she decided that Ji You’s cooking was pretty good.
Hence, Mu Jianling said nothing and directly took out her stored ingredients: chicken, duck, fish, beef, lamb, pork, various seasonings, assorted vegetables and fruits...
Looking at these items, Ji You’s eyes widened, his throat involuntarily moving: "Um... Teacher, I’m also hungry. Can I get some labor fees?"
Mu Jianling’s mouth twitched.
Beside her.
Zhang Ye held back but couldn’t help saying, "Teacher, I’m also hungry."
Lou and Lance didn’t speak, but all stared eagerly at Mu Jianling.
Xuzhou didn’t say anything or look; he tried hard to act calm, even wanting to ignore all the ingredients, but his twitching fingers still betrayed his thoughts.
Mu Jianling, with an itchy hand, raised it and knocked Ji You on the head: "You wish!"
Then.
Mu Jianling actually began to clean up stuff, she first put away the grapes from Yuna Star, then picked the big apples from Barnes Star - Beikena Mountain, followed by bananas, oranges, pomelos, cherries...
In the blink of an eye, they were all stored in her Space Button.
Ji You: "..."
Mu Jianling’s actions didn’t stop; she began to move toward the vegetables.
A while later, all the vegetables were also packed away.
Next.
Mu Jianling’s hand turned to various meats, and Ji You couldn’t help asking: "Teacher, why are you so stingy?"
Mu Jianling said: "I can’t finish it alone, so of course it’s put away. It’s not called stingy, it’s called frugal."
Ji You: "..."
Xuzhou and the others: "..."
Mu Jianling’s action of taking out ingredients was quick, while the action of putting them away was even faster. Ji You wanted to stop her but couldn’t make it in time; eventually, there was only a piece of lamb, a piece of beef, and a potato left on the table.
Mu Jianling said: "Time is tight, be quick, just simply make some grilled lamb skewers, and grilled beef skewers."
Ji You asked: "What about this potato?"
Mu Jianling said: "Grilled potato."
Ji You asked again: "What about mine?"
Mu Jianling said righteously: "You don’t have any."
Ji You: "..."
Ji You dropped the work and decided not to do it.
Mu Jianling said: "I want to eat within 10 minutes."
Ji You: "..."
Ji You took a deep breath and said: "Teacher, you can’t be so willful. How can you only care about eating for yourself, and not us?"
Mu Jianling raised her brows: "You have objections?"
Ji You quickly shook his head: "No! No! No!"
Mu Jianling finally nodded slightly satisfied, and then she didn’t leave, simply found a sofa, and lay down in a very boss-like posture, then opened her Light Computer to watch TV shows.
Facing this scene, Ji You and the others felt speechless.
Thinking about Teacher Mu having just gone through a tough battle, although she seemed fine on the surface, there was a faint dryness and slight whiteness on her originally rosy lips.
Ji You understood that feeling well, it’s the fatigue after spiritual power was excessively consumed, needing some time to recover.
Thus.
Ji You promptly began to prepare the barbecue, cutting beef and lamb into evenly sized chunks, skewering them with iron sticks, cutting the potato into slices, skewering them too, then setting up the grill, lighting the fire...
Sizzle sizzle~
Sizzle sizzle~
Sizzle sizzle~
The aroma of meat spread, permeating around...
Xuzhou, Lou, Lance, and Zhang Ye all uncontrollably drooled.
Ji You, as the barbecue master himself, also uncontrollably drooled. He tried hard to restrain himself and secretly wanted to taste a piece, but no sooner had the thought surfaced than he heard Teacher Mu on the couch say: "There are 78 skewers of barbecue in total, 1 skewer of potato slices, and each barbecue skewer must have 10 pieces of grilled meat, without a single piece missing."
Ji You: "..."
