Wen Xi shook his head: "I haven't eaten yet."
She was put off by Shu Lai and didn't want to eat her first serious meal in the wasteland in a bad mood, so in order to distract herself, she ran to ask Chen Ai about rice seeds and the four major grain merchants.
Chen Ai was too lazy to answer questions one by one, so he simply packaged the information files and sent them with one click.
Before Su Kuaishou sent a video invitation, Wen Xi was reading an introduction related to rice seeds and was fascinated by it.
Madman Su urged in a hurry: "Wenxi, please try the rice and see if it tastes good! I've only seen people eating it in mukbang videos. Try it quickly and see if it's what the mukbang says." So delicious.”
"good."
Wen Xi picked up the silver-white spoon placed on the dining table. Under Madman Su's burning gaze, he picked up a full spoon and handed it to the camera: "Here, I'll give you the first bite."
Madman Su was stunned. Wen Xi could always hit the soft spot deep in his heart unexpectedly.
"Thank you for the gift of nature! Su Anji, I'm going to start."
Wen Xi thanked nature from the bottom of her heart, and then put the crystal white rice into her mouth. Her expression was like this - (⊙o⊙)
A bowl of rice worth 50,000 points tasted far less than what Wen Xi had expected from it, and had an average taste.
If you add less water for cooking, the rice will be cooked with clear grains, dry and hard, and have a hard texture.
What made Wenxi even more uncomfortable was that the rice sold at such a high price was actually cooked with old rice that had been stored for an unknown number of years, because it did not taste like the rice aroma and sweetness that comes with new rice.
The more Wenxi ate, the worse he felt like eating expired food before the apocalypse. The food in his mouth had not spoiled yet. It was edible but not delicious.
Crazy Su had eaten roasted sweet potatoes with Wen Xi, and he knew what Wen Xi looked like when he was happy after eating.
"Wen Xi, doesn't the rice taste delicious?"
Wen Xi thought for a while and said, "Compared with the nutrient solution, this bowl of rice is very delicious."
Madman Su keenly noticed something behind her words: "Wenxi, have you ever eaten rice that tastes better than this?"
Wen Xi was stunned for a moment, and then said lightly: "Chen Ai and I bought some rice seeds. When I plant the rice, I will cook it into rice after harvesting, and then I will give you a bowl."
"Huh? Wen Xi, what did you say? You said you wanted to plant rice?"
Madman Su exclaimed, causing Shu Lai and others nearby to prick up their ears to listen.
Wen Xi noticed the flash of fiery red curly hair in the video, and explained patiently: "Well, I earned some points with the help of Chen Ai, and I plan to cooperate with him to sell spiritual potted plants. Chen Ai promised that if I buy seeds from him and he gives me a discount based on the scarcity of the seeds.”
"Spiritual potted plants?"
Before Madman Su finished his words, his face disappeared from Wen Xi's sight.
The camera of the video wavered for a while, and was replaced by Shu Lai's charming and peerless face. She could be seen staring at Wen Xi with shining eyes: "Wen Xi, don't tell me about those people in Hope Flower Shop who are blowing up the entire Internet. It’s you who gave birth to all the spiritual flowers!”
The 77 pots of spiritual plants newly launched in the Hope Flower Shop were sold out, and those who grabbed them posted 360-degree photos of them, gaining a wave of envy, jealousy, and hate, with constant hot posts and crazy likes.
Shu Lai accidentally came across the most popular pinned post, about the newly launched Lingzhi flowers at Hope Flower Shop. The popularity was astonishingly high. After refreshing it once, 1,000+ comments were added!
The popularity is rising day by day, and popular science knowledge posts about spiritual plants have been posted again, making it easier for most residents who know nothing about spiritual plants to understand spiritual plants.
You must know that there are only 110,000 official residents with numbers in Base 318!
The inner network of the City of Steel sets certain area permissions for base residents outside the city. For example, if residents outside the base want to connect to the network with residents in the city, they need to contact the residents in the city first.
Therefore, Shu Lai first contacted Chen Ai and asked him to help remove some of the permissions before sending a video invitation to Wen Xi who was connected to the Steel City intranet.
"Well, it's me. That's why I can sit here." Wen Xi explained lightly.
Shu Lai knew how popular Lingzhi was in the City of Steel. She no longer had any doubts and solemnly apologized to Wen Xi: "Wen Xi, I apologize to you. I'm sorry that I shouldn't have speculated about your relationship with Chen Ai! Please! Please forgive me!"
She no longer tries to put the blame on Chen Ai, she admits her mistakes and corrects her mistakes.
Wen Xi smiled again: "Well, I forgive you."
"Okay! We are good sisters again!" Shulai cheered.
Madman Su squeezed in front of the camera, looked at the bowl of braised pork and swallowed his saliva: "Wenxi, try the braised pork. What does it taste like? Is it delicious? Can you copy it?"
"Okay, let me try it."
Wen Xizheng had this intention. She was very confident in her cooking skills. She only needed to buy ingredients and seasonings, eliminating the need for middlemen to make profit differences and no need to pay venue fees.
She roughly calculated the price of this bowl of braised pork, which was enough for her to buy ingredients for twenty people in the Steel City.
Perhaps it was the taste of the rice that lowered Wenxi's expectations for the restaurant's food. She thought the braised pork was very good: "The braised pork is quite delicious. When you take a bite, the gravy bursts in your mouth. The meat of the braised pork is chewy. The more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes, and, yes, it also has a wonderful sauce flavor."
Shu Lai was aroused by this wonderful description. He stared at the braised pork on the plate and asked, "Wow ~ Wen Xi, can you replicate the taste of braised pork if I give you the ingredients?"
"cannot."
Wen Xi shook her head. She clicked on the Steel City's online store for people to buy ingredients, but couldn't find several of the seasonings she tasted. "This braised pork seems simple and easy to make, but in fact it uses exclusive seasonings." Yes. I can taste the flavor, but I can’t find a substitute for the seasoning.”
She can make home-cooked braised pork, but soy sauce, oyster sauce, MSG and other seasonings are not sold in the online store in Wasteland World, and they are not even available.
Shu Lai smiled broadly: "It's okay, it's okay, we have a bright future! If we can't buy seasonings, we'll grow our own! We'll be self-sufficient!"
Wen Xi nodded: "This is vegetarian fried sweet potato sprouts. You can make it with your hands. It tastes just like what I expected. One bite of sweet potato sprouts, one bite of braised pork, one bite of bone soup, and another bite of braised pork ribs, meat and vegetable. With balanced nutrition, you can grow taller and stronger.”
"Pfft——"
Shu Lai was amused by Wen Xi's childlike words that sounded like he was chanting a spell. He laughed so hard he laughed: "Wen Xi, you are so funny!"
"I am over-flattered."
Wen Xi's chest no longer felt tight, and he chatted and laughed continuously while eating.
Although he was eating alone, Wen Xi could feel the long-lost happiness from it.
Sharing delicious food with her favorite friend, Wen Xi had the wonderful illusion of dreaming back to her daily life before the apocalypse.
After the meal, Wen Xi stood at the door of the restaurant and secretly decided to pack some braised pork here before leaving the city and take it out for Shu Lai and the others to try.
Those who have permanent property have perseverance, and those who do not have perseverance have no perseverance. If you don't have perseverance, you will do everything you can to ward off evil spirits.
