Take a piece of pork that is half fat and half lean, wash it clean, mince it into a paste, add a little coarse salt and set it aside.

Fresh water chestnuts, just pulled from the mud, are large and round, with the buds on their heads not yet fully developed. After peeling and washing them, they are diced and added to the minced meat. Then, soy sauce, oyster sauce, a little sugar, and chopped green onions are added to the bowl. After mixing well, a small egg fruit is added, and the mixture is stirred in one direction until the filling becomes thick and gelatinous. The filling for the egg dumplings is now ready.

Crack a few egg fruits into a bowl, add a spoonful of cornstarch and a little cooking wine, and beat the eggs into a golden egg mixture. Coat a small frying pan with lard, and pour in the egg mixture after the lard has melted.

A low, even heat will allow the egg mixture to solidify, resembling a small, golden sun. Once the egg skin is completely set, wrap the pork and water chestnut filling inside while it's still hot, fold the egg skin in half, flip it over, and fry it in oil. A pork and water chestnut egg dumpling that looks like a gold ingot is now ready.

Xu Milu followed the same method and made a total of ten more ingot-shaped egg dumplings. The vegetarian steamed buns in the steamer next to her were also ready to be taken out of the pot. When the lid was lifted, the whole room was filled with steam.

The steaming hot steamed buns are plump and round, and if you press the top with your hand, they will spring back. Just looking at them makes you imagine what they will taste like.

In fact, Liu Peiqiang did just that.

The moment he took the steamed bun, he couldn't wait to tear open a large white bun. Only when the sweet aroma of wheat filled his mouth and the warmth flowed down his throat into his stomach did he truly believe that what he was seeing was not a dream.

Although he was still very hungry, he only ate one steamed bun and then stopped, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Xu Milu immediately understood and said very considerately, "Do you want me to put it in a black bag for you?"

—They've started eating cockroaches and earthworms over there, so their living conditions can't be that good. She's the first customer, carrying over four hundred steamed buns out the door, and they'll be robbed as soon as she turns around.

"Thanks."

Liu Peiqiang glanced gratefully at Xu Milu:

"Will you still be here in the future? Can I bring other people here to buy things? Lunar soil, precious metals, and what else? We need a lot of food."

Xu Milu shook her head and pointed to the medal he had re-pinned to his chest, saying:

"It was this medal of yours that brought you here. The Mountain and Sea Restaurant does not actually exist in your universe. If you don't believe me, you can go out and verify it."

Liu Peiqiang licked his lips dryly and said, "So, whoever has this medal can enter here?"

"You understand correctly, and because of the different flow of time, the next time you meet me is very likely to be a month later, half a year later, or maybe an hour later."

Xu Milu handed over four large, tightly packaged bags of steamed buns and egg dumplings, but to her surprise, the other person immediately hoisted them onto their shoulder.

—Don't be fooled by the fact that steamed buns are light; carrying over four hundred of them is not light at all.

"I have another question. If what you're saying is true, then why hasn't the Mountain and Sea Restaurant appeared on Earth before?"

Liu Peiqiang, carrying a black bag, asked solemnly.

Xu Milu: "..."

Because she's lazy, the Mountain and Sea Restaurant only opened these past two days.

...

...

Watching the travel-worn customer leave the restaurant, Xu Milu couldn't help but discuss the man's background with Xiao Qi:

"Xiao Qi, did you notice? This man is extremely wary and keeps avoiding my questions. Also, he reminds me a lot of Xu Jianan and Li Rui—do you think he might be a soldier serving in this world?"

[I agree with the host's inference. The physical assessment of this subject indicates a long-term deficiency in meat protein and vitamins, suggesting the new dimension may be undergoing a major environmental transformation. The system recommends that the host prioritize observation before conducting on-site investigation.]

"Well, hopefully it's not a disaster plane like the apocalyptic one, but judging from the fact that they have dumplings with earthworm filling, this is a planet with a severe shortage of food."

Xu Milu stretched out a big yawn and slowly poured herself a cup of rose eight-treasure tea.

...

...

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

Liu Peiqiang carried a black plastic bag full of steamed buns and walked towards the hospital, his steps uneven. After the sea level rose by 300 meters, many buildings were buried in the sea, and the residents now live in temporary shelters built with planetary engines.

The weight of the steamed bun constantly reminded him that what had just happened was neither his imagination nor a scam.

Steamed bun!

Steaming hot, fragrant, sweet, and soft steamed buns!

He even for a moment forgot about what had just happened, his mind filled with the happy smiles of his wife and children.

When they arrived at the hospital entrance, Liu Peiqiang suddenly stopped.

...

The hospital wards were always packed with people. Since the solar radiation intensified, the number of people on Earth suffering from cancer due to radiation has surged. Unfortunately, Liu Peiqiang's wife, Han Duoduo, was one of them.

Although Han Duoduo looked sickly, one could still see a touch of heroic beauty in her eyes—she had once been an active-duty pilot.

"Peiqiang, where did you go? Our son woke up and asked you about you..."

Han Duoduo was playing with her seven-year-old son Liu Qi when she saw Liu Peiqiang appear at the ward door carrying a bag. She was quite surprised.

"Didn't you go to collect supplies? Why are you only coming back now? Did you miss out? It's okay, I'll ask Dad to think of a way to find me an easier job. The family can't rely on just you; it's too tiring."
