Chapter 208 Farm
Liu Xingquan carefully poked his head out, then took a cautious step. He then stretched out one foot and carefully touched the ground in front of him, then took another step.
"Liu Xingquan."
"Ah!" Liu Xingquan was frightened by the sudden scream.
"Liu Xingquan, I'm not a fighting robot." Xiao Zhen said.
"Oh." Liu Xingquan, who was still in shock, was a little unstable. He held onto the wall to try to support his body, but soon retracted his hands as if they were scalded.
"Liu Xingquan, there is no mechanism on this wall." Xiao Zhen said.
"Oh." Liu Xingquan turned around, stood firm, and went back to the room.
"Liu Xingquan, there are no high-tech mechanisms on the floor of the corridor."
“I see.”
"It's just an ordinary floor." Xiao Zhen said, and stepped on it hard. He looked at Liu Xingquan's expression and said solemnly.
After rescuing the exhausted Liu Xingquan from the fighting robot, his friend lay on the bed for most of the day. After that, he began to be cautious about everything on the ship. In Liu Xingquan's eyes at this moment, Yan Zhen's ship was full of unknown high-tech traps, which could trigger some dangerous traps if not careful. The bed that almost drowned him was the best proof.
"Actually, this ship is really safe." Xiao Zhen said.
"I thought so too before I met that robot that almost beat me half to death." Liu Xingquan half-penetrated his head from the crack of the door, looking in unbelievable pain. His muscles were still aching and his calves were still weak.
"At least you have worked on the Impeccable, been to the battlefield, and driven an ancient Gundam. You are a man who has seen the world of the galaxy. Stop being suspicious. Come on, come and have dinner!" Xiao Zhen pulled Liu Xingquan out.
After arriving at the restaurant, Liu Xingquan still maintained a cautious attitude full of doubts.
He stared at a piece of fish on the plate.
Today's lunch is spicy and sour purple lemon juice Qiyou fish, which is a land fish that is a specialty of the Tibetan Gnomes and one of the stored foods purchased by Gamor. Its fins have evolved into a pair of claws, and although it has been processed, it still looks a bit strange.
"While we were repairing the ship in Hope Town, I asked someone to install an automatic food processor," Xiao Zhen said with a smile, "Now, we just need to throw the ingredients into the food processor and it will automatically cook according to the recipe. We can also choose the flavor of the planet. You can try it. I chose a flavor that is closest to Earth. You will definitely like it."
Liu Xingquan still stared at the fish.
“I’ve tried it, and it tastes really good.”
"Yan Zhen, this fish isn't going to suddenly jump up and grow sixteen tentacles, is it?"
"Won't!"
"It's not like its stomach will suddenly explode and give birth to a bunch of weird squidgy crawling things!!"
"Where did you get all this weird knowledge?" Xiao Zhen picked up a piece of fish with a fork and put it into his mouth. He showed a delicious expression, "This is just cooking on the corpse of an ordinary alien fish."
"Yan Zhen, I worked for the chef Fei Tu Spider on the Impeccable, and I have seen those strange alien ingredients. What I just said are all things I have personally experienced. I was almost strangled to death by sixteen tentacles that suddenly grew out of a fruit in a juicer, and I was almost swallowed alive by an alien fish sashimi that was sliced on a chopping board. Please don't ask me how sashimi can swallow people." Liu Xingquan said, "I have great doubts about what you call ordinary."
“It really is just a delicious fish!!!”
Liu Xingquan looked at Xiaozhen suspiciously, and finally made a decision. He forked a small piece of fish, but the fish didn't move at all. He closed his eyes and put it in his mouth. Ah, it was very smooth and tender, the meat was very soft, the seasoning was slightly spicy, and it had a lemon-like fragrance and sourness. It was really delicious.
"The meat of the Qiyu fish from Zang Gnom is very tender and has a lot of fat." Xiao Zhen said, "The ingredients purchased by Jiamoer are very good."
After saying the word "Gamoer", the whole restaurant fell into silence. Xiaozhen lowered her head in regret and continued to eat in silence.
Liu Xingquan was savoring the deliciousness of the chiyu fish with all his heart. He ate one bite after another and emptied the plate in a short while.
"It's delicious!" Liu Xingquan said, remembering what his mother had told him: when eating out, one should thank the host and the chef. So he said, "Thank you, Yan Zhen, and thank you to the food processor. This alien fish is really delicious."
"If Jia Moer were here, the dishes she would cook would be more delicious than those made by a food processor." Zhang Fei suddenly said this in a low voice.
The atmosphere in the restaurant became even more suffocating. Fei lowered his head and pushed the plate away, making a sharp friction sound. Captain Ban tilted his head and pecked at his feathers, Liu Bei coughed, and Guan Yu simply buried his head in his food without even raising his head.
(Did I say something wrong?) Liu Xingquan looked at Xiaozhen innocently. Xiaozhen quickly pulled Liu Xingquan out of the restaurant. Seeing that Liu Xingquan was very interested in the fish, he took him to the food cultivation room.
There is a small stocking ground for the Qiyu fish. The ten fish that Gamor brought on board have now reproduced. There are about a hundred small Qiyu fish swimming around in the shallows of the stocking ground. They have not yet grown strong claws, and some of them look like silver-gray tadpoles.
Xiaozhen handed him a small bag of bait and said, "Throw a little bit to them." Liu Xingquan followed his instructions and threw a handful into the shallows. The small fish in the shallows immediately went wild, jumping to grab his bait. Liu Xingquan found it cute and interesting, so he grabbed another handful. The small fish jumped on the water surface one after another, scrambling to catch the bait.
"Be careful when you cast the bait. Don't get too close, even if it's a small fish, you still have to be careful." Xiao Zhen said this and turned to look at Liu Xingquan, "... Am I too late..."
Liu Xingquan looked at his hand with a stiff face. One of his fingers had been firmly bitten by a small fish that jumped up. "Yan, Yan Zhen, I was bitten by a small fish."
"Calm down, its bite isn't strong enough to break your finger. At most it will just suck a little blood from you."
"Bloodsucking?!!" Liu Xingquan swung his arms with a pale face.
After a period of confusion, Xiaozhen threw the fish that had bitten Liu Xingquan's finger back into the culture pond.
"Is this the ordinary alien fish you mentioned?" Liu Xingquan snorted.
"Well, they're actually pretty normal, they really won't bite your fingers off."
"Your credit with me is zero! Zero!"
After watching the fish pond without any danger, Xiaozhen took Liu Xingquan to visit the ecological farm on the ship. There were various crops planted in the farm, and Xiaozhen introduced these strange alien crops that were hard to see on Earth.
When he first stepped into the farm, Liu Xingquan couldn't help but exclaimed, "Is it snowing?" A thin layer of white snow covered the grass in front of him, and the leaves covered with hoarfrost trembled with the air flow, creating a plain winter scene.
"This is not snow." Xiao Zhen said.
"Yes, the temperature in this room is at least 20 degrees."
Xiaozhen bent down and pulled out a bunch of grass by the roots. Under the thin blades of grass was a fat stem. Liu Xingquan then discovered that the white on the blades of grass was not snow, but a kind of white fluff.
"This kind of rhizome tastes very good." Xiao Zhen peeled the skin with a knife, cut off a small piece and handed it to Liu Xingquan.
"Is it possible that this tuber will suddenly grow sixteen tentacles?"
"Won't!!"
Liu Xingquan put the small piece into his mouth. The small stem piece melted in his mouth, with a sweet milky flavor. "Delicious!"
"This plant is called Ruoxue. I bought it from Jiamoer at the agricultural product fair. I think it can be used as a substitute for cheese butter."
"It's Gamorre again."
"Yes. The crops in the ecological farm on my ship are all grown by Gamor." Xiaozhen pointed to the rice field on the other side. The rice it produced was a kind of light purple rice that was cooked. The grain size was about two to three times that of rice on Earth, and the taste was extremely soft and sticky. In addition, there was a kind of fast-growing vine. Its growth cycle was only 7 days on Earth before it withered. However, if you take the juice from the vines on the third to fifth day and stir it out, you will get a sweet and sour wine dessert.
In the cultivated soil of the rice fields there is a kind of worms with excellent taste. On the one hand, they can loosen the soil and excrete fertilizer, and on the other hand, they can be dug out and used as food.
After walking around the ecological farm with Xiaozhen, Liu Xingquan was amazed. He said, "Jiamoer is really amazing. She left behind so many crops."
"Yes. I plan to plant these crops on the ship for a long time." Xiao Zhen said, "These can be said to be proof of Gamor's existence."
Liu Xingquan stopped in front of a tree. It was a purple lemon tree. One of the seasonings for the hot and sour fish he ate today came from the purple lemon fruit of this tree. After confirming that the tree would not suddenly grow a mouth to bite people, he pulled down a branch and smelled the sweet fragrance of the immature purple lemon.
"Yan Zhen, I suddenly had an idea."
"What?"
"I want to open a farm on my planet." Liu Xingquan said, "What do you think?"
"Of course. It's your planet, you can do whatever you want." Xiao Zhen asked him excitedly, "What kind of farm do you want to open?"
"Tassi ball." Liu Xingquan said, "I want to raise a Tassi ball."
After Liu Xingquan expressed his ideas, Xiaozhen of course gave him strong support and encouragement.
He had originally planned to take Liu Xingquan to taste the delicacy that Losa had always longed to eat. Now he never expected that his friend actually planned to raise one. He immediately found some information about the breeding of the tass ball for Liu Xingquan. After reading some requirements for the living environment of the tass ball, Liu Xingquan somewhat embarrassedly expressed to Yan Zhen the question of where the funds would come from.
"You are rich."
"I have money?"
"Yes. Don't you know?" Xiao Zhen told him that in addition to giving him a planet as a gift, Hope Township also gave him a bonus. His account interface should also be implanted in the chip in his body during the operation.
"Why?"
"You are now a Galaxy person with an independent account." Xiao Zhen taught him how to call up the Star Network account and how to log in. After verifying Liu Xingquan's DNA and dynamic password, the details of his account immediately appeared on Liu Xingquan's retina.
"Ooooooh! I have 4 million credits now."
"Well. Although it's far from enough to transform a planet, it's enough to open a Tasi Ball Ranch."
"good!"
"You can look at the information first, and then you can purchase it when the time is right."
"Okay!" Liu Xingquan raised his hand, "I have a question."
"What?"
"Will the Tuss Sphere suddenly grow sixteen tentacles or suddenly swallow people?"
"No!!! What on earth did you go through in the kitchen on the Impeccable!"
"There is another question I have always wanted to ask, why is the number conversion in the interstellar space the same as that on Earth?"
"Oh, actually, most civilizations have different units. Decimal or duodecimal digital conversions have been uniformly used in the Milky Way for a long time. As for why it is the same as on Earth, it is probably a coincidence that civilizations have developed in different ways but ended up in the same place. Or it is possible that Earth has received guidance from alien civilizations in the past. Who knows?"
Liu Xingquan nodded and continued to look down at the breeding information of Tas Ball.
Fei came over with a list in her hand. She said, "I found a recipe left by Gamor in the kitchen. I have an idea."
"What?"
"Can you make a dish according to this recipe?" Fei said softly.
"That's no problem. I'm sure everyone wants to try it." Xiao Zhen knew that Fei had never eaten the food she cooked because she was always wary of Jia Moer. This was her knot and regret. Now she wanted to commemorate her in this way.
"Some of the ingredients on this recipe are not available on our ship, so I would like to apply to stop at a planet with ingredients along the way to collect them. Is this okay?"
"Can."
Fei's face flushed, "Thank you, Mr. Yan Zhen." She looked at Liu Xingquan, "Sorry, I have to delay your return journey."
"It's okay. I don't think it will take much time to buy groceries along the way."
After Fei left, Liu Xingquan put down the information and said to Xiao Zhen, "We will go home soon after we finish shopping."
"Yes," Xiao Zhen looked at Liu Xingquan and smiled, "Do you miss Aunt Luo ?"
"Well, she must be worried about me. I miss her very much. You must miss Uncle Yan, Aunt An and Zhuzhu too."
"Hmm." Xiao Zhen could feel a surge of warmth naturally flowing through his body, which was the remnant of his host's affection for his relatives.
I do miss them.
My "mom", my "dad", my "sister".
"And I remembered one more thing."
"What?"
Liu Xingquan shouted, "What are we going to do with our final exams!!!"
