胡椒粒

胡 = 古 + 月 : Helga Horse (hu) visits the old and wise moon (月) in the space station's kitchen (Ø2). She wants to join his cloister (古), but the moon rejects and says that first she has to get a very long Confucius style mustache (胡) such as his own.

椒 = 叔 + 木 : Joan of Arc (ji) and Arthur Schopenhauer (叔) are absolutely out of food. In front of the aorta (ao1) they have no better option than to eat a Christmas tree (木). At least they have some pepper (椒) left to add some flavor to it.

粒 = 立 + 米 : Li Qingzhao (li) got a sack of rice (米) delivered to the space station. In the bathroom (Ø4) she fills the rice granules (粒) in a vase (立) to store them for a longer time.
