198: Chapter 198 Cantonese Chef: Can this be eaten as sashimi?

The atmosphere on the interstellar battlefield had originally been grim.

But with a single post from Jiang Chen on Weibo, the vibe across the entire Solar System completely collapsed.

Jiang Chen had taken the high-definition close-up photos of the alien octopus spaceship transmitted back by the probe and slapped them onto the internet without any editing, with a title that was incredibly casual: "Discovered a new type of seafood, waiting online for advice on how to cook it best?"

This was an alien spaceship!

That was a "Predator" fighter jet with off-the-charts technological aesthetics!

Yet, in Jiang Chen's mouth, it was instantly downgraded to a potential ingredient for a seafood street stall.

The reaction from the Long Country netizens was quite "down-to-earth."

"These tentacles look really chewy! I recommend teppanyaki with plenty of cumin!"

"The person above has no vision. For a species we've never eaten before, it has to be sashimi! Paired with wasabi and soy sauce, you'd definitely taste the original flavor!"

"Look at the suction cups on the tentacles; they feel like they'd be crunchy. A cold tossed dish or a quick stir-fry would definitely be amazing!"

"I'm already drooling. God Jiang, if you ship it back, I'll pay ten thousand yuan for one tentacle. I want to take it home and make braised octopus tentacles!"

It wasn't just the netizens who had gone crazy.

Even the big shots in the culinary world, who usually only studied how to make ingredients taste better, couldn't sit still anymore.

A top-tier Cantonese chef who had won a gold medal at the National Culinary Competition actually left a five-hundred-word cooking guide in the comments section:

"God Jiang, as long as this thing is processed correctly, it's definitely a top-tier ingredient!"

"Look at this purplish-red cuticle; I suggest blanching it in 70-degree hot water for three seconds to remove the fishy smell!"

"The muscle fibers in the tentacles must be thick, so don't boil them directly. You must use a pressure cooker first, then slice them thinly for a cold dish..."

Jiang Chen looked at these comments and his mouth twitched violently.

He had originally just wanted to have a bit of fun, but he hadn't expected these guys to be even wilder than him.

The aliens were here to invade Earth!

And here you all are, already discussing which cooking method would taste better?

"Reliable." Jiang Chen nodded at the camera, smiling brightly, "Everyone makes a very good point."

"In our Long Country, we value 'refined food.' Since this came from outer space, we must show it some respect."

"Tonight, we'll serve up a hearty dish for these guests who have 'traveled from afar.'"

At this very moment, the battle on the Far Side of the Moon had already entered a white-hot stage.

Although that octopus-shaped spaceship was tough, under the gravity capture net of the luan niao starship, it was like a crab caught in a net, with absolutely no room to turn the tables.

It twisted its tentacles frantically, spraying out dark green corrosive liquid, attempting to dissolve the invisible energy net.

"Sizzle—" The liquid landed on the capture net, making a shrill sound, but it was completely useless against that high-dimensional material.

Jiang Chen looked at the frantically struggling little red dot, already calculating in his mind how to transport this "living thing" back to Earth.

"Old Zhao, don't break it!" Jiang Chen roared into the communicator, terrified that the gunners might have a slip of the hand and blast his "seafood" into smithereens. "If this gets smashed, I won't be able to make sashimi! That would be a sin!"

Zhao Gang's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Boss, we are fighting a space defense war that determines the survival of humanity! Why is your mouth full of nothing but recipes?

"Received... trying to capture it alive." Although Zhao Gang felt bitter, he still faithfully executed the order.

He commanded the drones, not activating the laser cannons, but instead releasing a large swarm of specialized capture balls coated with strong electromagnetic adhesive glue.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Dozens of capture balls exploded.

That powerful nano-glue instantly covered the octopus spaceship, sticking all of its tentacles directly to its body.

Now, it couldn't move even if it wanted to.

It had completely turned into a dumpling waiting to be slaughtered.

In front of their screens, the netizens watching this scene exploded again.

"Holy crap! Captured alive?!"

"God Jiang is truly ruthless, daring to capture even an alien spaceship alive!"

"I'm impressed by this move; I'm going to carry a can of superglue with me from now on. If I run into an alien, I'll just paste it shut!"

Meanwhile, on the alien mothership tens of millions of kilometers away, the alien Commander watched the last life signal on the radar screen disappear next to that blue "Elevator Star," and the entire command room was filled with dead silence.

"The scout... lost contact?" The alien Commander's hideous face revealed a human-like terror.

They were top-tier hunters in the universe.

They had wiped out countless civilizations.

But in their understanding, shouldn't this blue planet just be a primitive tribe that had only just learned to light a fire?

How could it suddenly... not only grab their spaceship with its bare hands, but even display an extremely disgusting... "appetite"?

"General." The adjutant reported, trembling: "We intercepted some radio signals from that planet." "The creatures inside said... said they are planning... to make our scout into 'sashimi'..."

The Commander's tentacles twitched violently.

Sashimi?

What is that?

A form of biochemical degradation torture?

"Retreat!" The Commander didn't hesitate at all, issuing the order directly, eyes filled with fear and disgust: "The people on this planet have no martial ethics!" "They even eat aliens!" "Too terrifying! That planet is basically a hell!" "Add the coordinates to the blacklist! Forever! Never, ever approach this planet!" "These guys... are simply lunatics in the universe!"

Above the lunar orbit, Jiang Chen looked at the octopus spaceship that was no longer struggling, a smile of successful scheming on his face.

He clapped his hands and said to Academician Chen Shuyin beside him: "Look, didn't I tell you."

"This thing is quite easy to catch."

"As long as it's not poisonous, the people of Long Country can eat it into extinction."

Academician Chen Shuyin looked at the hot pot base that had appeared in Jiang Chen's hand from who knows where, and felt that this world was truly beyond saving.

She took a deep breath, calming down her mindset that was about to explode: "So..." "The reason you were so nervous just now wasn't because you were worried about not being able to beat it, but because you were afraid of ruining the meat?"

"That goes without saying." Jiang Chen stood up, straightened his collar, and looked at the captured spaceship, a glimmer of craftiness flashing in his eyes: "This kind of top-tier ingredient." "If it isn't processed properly, that would be inviting divine retribution."

"Let's go."

"I'll take you to see our first alien dish for tonight."

He strode toward the ship's hatch, casually giving Pikachu's butt another rub. With that nonchalant appearance, how could he look like a Commander who had just won an interstellar war? He looked exactly like a diner rushing to grab a seat at a restaurant.

"Old Chen, don't just stand there dazed."

"Hurry up and follow."

"If we go too late, the best parts of the tentacles will be snatched up by Zhao Gang and his bunch of old soldiers!"
