Chapter 6: Dinner. It was a close call. It turns out the Zerg army worms aren't that...
Fortunately, it turned out that the Zerg army Zerg did not have such a bad taste and did not want to see the Zerg make a fool of themselves, so they prevented him from exposing the embarrassment of walking into the wrong dormitory.
Parker suddenly realized: "So that's how it is, I'm just ignorant!"
Lin Xi smiled friendly.
The bugs told each other their names, addresses, ages, etc.
Parker was amazed. "I thought the dormitory was full of people my own age, but I didn't expect there was an older brother."
Lin Xi shrugged: "I also want to be younger, but unfortunately my age is there. I have to trouble you to call me big brother. There is nothing I can do."
Parker laughed out loud: "You're so funny, you bug!"
Although Sander didn't say anything, he smiled shyly.
Parker didn't ask Lin Xi why he didn't serve as soon as he came of age, but for this kind of thing, as long as he served, it was fine, and there was no requirement for early or late. Maybe he had something to do in the past two years?
It’s not appropriate to ask such private questions when we just met.
Parker said, "I don't know when our fourth roommate will arrive. Then we'll be able to sort out the groups one, two, three, and four."
Lin Xi smiled: "Then this matter has nothing to do with me. You three can discuss it. I think no one is bigger than me. As the eldest brother, I will definitely be the first."
Upon hearing this, Parker nodded seriously and gave him a thumbs up.
Parker and Sander packed their beds and belongings. Parker took out a nutritional supplement from his luggage and handed it to Lin Xi, saying, "I don't have anything nice to give you on our first meeting, so I'll treat you to one. This is the best tasting nutritional supplement I've searched all over the Star Network."
Lin Xi was originally indifferent to nutritional supplements, but when Parker said they tasted the best, she instantly became interested: "Then I'd be remiss not to take them."
Lin Xi happened to be hungry, so he opened the lid and took a sip.
Lin Xi: “…”
Parker waited expectantly for a reply: "How is it? Does it taste good?"
Lin Xi smacked his lips: "Not bad."
It smells like dishwashing liquid, like drinking pot water.
But it is definitely much better than the nutritional supplement that smells like stinky socks.
"Where did you buy it? I'll buy this brand of nutritional supplements from now on."
Parker quickly handed over the light brain, and the two light brains connected with each other, making a beeping sound, as if they were waiting for Lin Xi to say this.
Lin Xi opened the light brain and saw the price of the nutrient supplement, thirty star coins, which was really not cheap.
You should know that in the Orphan Insect Hospital, the nutrients you receive are only sold for five star coins on the market, and there are discounts for bulk purchases.
For a weak insect like Linxi, one nutrient solution is enough for a day's needs.
This detergent-flavored nutritional supplement is almost enough for his food expenses for a week.
Lin Xi calmly closed the computer page. He was penniless now, so he might as well eat in the cafeteria, which was free.
After receiving the gift from Bie Chong, Lin Xi naturally had to express his gratitude.
"You must be hungry after such a long journey. I will treat you to a feast."
Parker wanted to say no, he was just giving a nutritional supplement, and it would be embarrassing to take advantage of the other party if he asked them to treat him to a meal at a restaurant.
It’s not that the Zerg don’t like food, it’s just that nutritional supplements are really convenient.
Since nutritional supplements became more convenient, the price of delicious food has increased a lot.
A meal at a restaurant with that star coin is enough to buy nutritional supplements for half a year. It’s not worth it.
As a result, before Parker could finish his words, Lin Xi took out two boxes, revealing the pickles and sausages inside.
Parker said, "You actually brought raw food? These things take a lot of time and effort to make food."
Lin Xi smiled and said, "Nutrients are indeed very convenient, but sometimes life needs a little adjustment."
Parker nodded, thinking that what Lin Xi said made sense: "You are indeed the material to be a big brother. You have your own ideas."
At the same time, Parker was also a little expectant. Could it be that the other party also had cooking skills?
Parker began to wait for the big meal that Lin Xi would treat them to.
But Parker and Sander were not idle either. Even if they ate only these two things, it would not be enough for them to have a full meal.
Linxi bought a large bag of low-grade nutritional powder online. Nutritional powder is the same as nutritional supplements, and the nutrition it contains can meet daily needs. However, the amount of nutritional powder required for brewing is much larger than that of nutritional supplements. It is also very unpalatable and a bit irritating to the throat.
Lin Xi felt that this nutritional powder was somewhat similar to flour, so she used it to cook dumpling soup.
It turns out it can also be used to knead dough and make noodles.
Parker and Sander kneaded the dough and cut it into strips, while Lin Xi was in charge of cooking.
Parker originally thought he would see a great performance from a chef, but what he saw was just the cooking of noodles, pickles, and diced sausages, with no real technique involved.
Parker was a little disappointed and thought to himself that it would be better to just boil the sausages. How could the sausages still taste good if they put so much hodgepodge in them?
Then Parker got slapped in the face.
It is indeed delicious.
Parker picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. The fragrant taste instantly captured his taste buds.
Oh my god, these noodles taste even better than the cheapest dish he bought in the restaurant for 500 star coins!
The nutritional supplement he just recommended to Lin Xi was compared to rubbish!
Lin Xi smiled. It was not that the noodles were delicious, but that the noodles themselves had no taste. It was the other ingredients that had contaminated the taste.
"If it tastes good, eat more. There's still plenty in the pot."
Parker didn't eat much either, and Sander was also a huge eater, so all the leftover food went into his stomach.
Lin Xi couldn't help but marvel at it, it turned out that he had grown so tall for a good reason, he had a big appetite!
After finishing the meal and cleaning up the mess, Parker happily laid back in his chair and said, "Your cooking skills are incredible!"
Lin Xi didn't dare to accept such flattery: "I don't have any cooking skills. My skill is just cooking the ingredients. The reason why the food is so delicious is because the ingredients themselves taste good."
Hearing this, Parker looked at Lin Xi eagerly and said, "Boss, where did you buy these semi-finished raw foods? Give me a link so I can buy some too!"
When Parker said this, an idea flashed through Lin Xi's mind.
The Orphan Insect Hospital is short of funds, so they always have to find ways to increase revenue. The director's cooking skills are so good, probably passed down from his ancestors. Perhaps the director can make and sell these ingredients to maintain the operation of the Orphan Insect Hospital.
Although I can't pickle in large quantities and can't make a lot of money, it's still enough to make a living.
In fact, the best way is to open a small restaurant or set up a cart stall.
But the director is too busy managing the entire Orphan Insect Hospital and has no time at all. It is more convenient to sell semi-finished products directly.
Lin Xi made up his mind and sent the message to York. If the dean was willing to do this business, he would introduce the insects to buy.
I sent the message and received a reply very quickly.
York: [The dean agreed! Brother Lin Xi, you are truly a blessing to our orphanage!]
Lin Xi smiled and sent back an emoticon showing a fist-bumping gesture.
Lin Xi said to Parker, "I didn't buy these pickles and sausages. The director of our orphanage made them. I've already told the director about this. If you want to buy some, you can go to the orphanage."
Parker nodded vigorously when he heard this: "Okay, Boss, I will definitely give the dean a high price!"
Lin Xi said helplessly: "Don't be so exaggerated, the raw materials for sausage are very cheap."
Parker shook his head repeatedly. "Although the raw materials are cheap, the seasoning and craftsmanship are excellent. This sausage is definitely worth the price."
Lin Xi was stunned. If Parker hadn't said it, he really wouldn't have thought so much.
In the previous life, ham sausages were everywhere. The meat inside was not good and was added with a lot of additives and preservatives. It was a well-known fact, and Lin Xi subconsciously thought of the Zerg.
But there is really no comparison between junk food made on a machine assembly line and the exclusive sausage made from insects. One is full of technology, and the other is clean and hygienic.
Lin Xi nodded: "Okay."
Maybe the sausages made by the dean really use some exclusive secret recipe. If he lowers the price and causes the dean to lose a lot of money, it will not be a good way to make money.
The purchase of sausages was done, and Lin Xi was relieved.
Early the next morning.
Lin Xi just got up from the bed and saw Sander holding something in his hand. He walked over embarrassedly: "Brother, you treated me to a meal. This is a gift from me..."
Lin Xi was a little caught off guard by being called "big brother", mainly because Sander was quite big, and it always felt a bit awkward to call him "big brother".
Parker also woke up and laughed at the side: "Sander, you really recognize your big brother!"
Sander was a little bewildered when he heard this: "Didn't you say... that we should talk about the eldest and second brothers?"
Parker knew his brother well. After hearing what he said, he suppressed a smile and nodded, "Yes, yes, you are absolutely right!"
But the tears that flowed from the corners of his eyes as he tried to hold back his laughter revealed his emotions at the moment.
Lin Xi also couldn't help laughing. This child is too honest.
Sander's face turned red, knowing that he had made a fool of himself again.
Seeing that Sander was becoming more and more embarrassed, Lin Xi hurriedly said, "Parker, don't bully an honest child!"
As he said that, he took the thing from Sander's hand.
It is a pair of densely woven gloves.
Lin Xi tried it on her hand and was pleasantly surprised: "It fits perfectly, Sander. You have such a skillful hand."
Parker came over to take a look, then asked doubtfully, "How do you know it was woven by Sander? I don't even know when he wove it..."
Parker pondered, remembering that Sander had been lying in bed since yesterday afternoon, covered with a curtain, and he really had no idea what the other person was doing.
Lin Xi smiled and said, "Every strand of wool is imbued with Sander's subtle spiritual power. I'm very sensitive to spiritual power and sensed it immediately."
Parker looked at Lin Xi in surprise: "So powerful, is there a big boss in our dormitory?!"
Maybe his mental level has reached A-level, which is why he can perceive the mental power of other insects so keenly.
Lin Xi shook his head: "I'm just an ordinary double C, not a big boss."
Parker was a little bit unbelievable. How could such a powerful ability be C-level? He almost didn't recognize the word "ordinary".
Lin Xi confirmed again: "It's really C grade. I just went to the inspection office a few days ago, and the grade report is still freshly released."
Parker finally believed that the other party was not joking, but he was still shocked: "Your mental perception is so sharp, you must have mutated."
Lin Xi spread his hands: "I don't know. It would be great if I really mutated. Maybe the military would make an exception and accept me."
