With a slight loss of weight and a gentle fall, the scenery before her eyes changed, and Xu Milu was back in the hotel bathroom.
[Remaining time spent in the new plane: 20:00:00 (when automatically converting to a new plane)]
[Two sets of straw baskets (deep-fried dandelions)]
[20 sets of straw baskets (ping-pong grapes)]
【20 sets of straw baskets (eggs and cherries)】
[60 sets of wheat ear eggs]
Since all the ingredients are stored in straw baskets, the storage compartments are for storing straw baskets by default. Although there are only twenty sets, there are fifty baskets in each set, which means there are about a thousand baskets.
It was an absolute bumper harvest.
Xu Milu picked enough wheat ears to produce eggs, but she didn't plan to send them all to Liu Hongmei at once. Double-yolk eggs weren't rare, but what was rare was that a large number of double-yolk eggs were available every day.
She checked into the hotel in the morning. Although only two hours had passed on Earth, in the Gourmet Hunter world, Xu Milu had actually experienced twenty hours. At this moment, she was so sleepy that she didn't have time to tidy up before collapsing into bed and falling into a deep sleep.
...
...
Xu Milu slept until 5 p.m. before rubbing her eyes and getting up. She ordered a spicy hot pot from room service and then called Liu Hongmei.
"Hey? Rice? Where are you now? Didn't you say you were going to buy some goods with your classmates? I called you just now, why didn't you answer? Should I ask your Uncle Sun to pick you up this afternoon?"
As soon as Liu Hongmei answered the phone, she started rambling on and on.
"No, I just arrived at noon and just finished the handover. I was just about to go eat. How's business at the restaurant?"
Xu Milu took out an egg cherry, put it to her lips and took a bite, savoring the sweet and sour taste, and couldn't help but squint her eyes.
"Oh my, let me tell you, before I even opened the shop this morning, there were already people lining up at the door, saying that our tea-infused double-yolk eggs and seaweed soup are delicious. Your Uncle Sun helped me out so easily, and they sold out in no time. There were even some old men and women complaining that I didn't make enough tea eggs! All the steamed buns and mantou were sold out!"
Liu Hongmei's excitement was practically overflowing from the phone.
"Steamed buns? You made steamed buns?"
Xu Milu became nervous. Although making steamed buns wasn't a heavy job, it was still tiring.
"No, your Uncle Sun rolled out the dough and mixed the filling for me. I only moved my fingers, it wasn't tiring at all, so don't worry."
Liu Hongmei quickly tried to explain.
"Well, then let's not do it. By the way, Mom, we probably can't buy so many double-yolk eggs anymore. The chicken farm doesn't have many eggs. I only got this much because I got it with the boss's help. From now on, we might only get 500 eggs a day, and that's it."
Xu Milu made up an excuse, planning to take a slow and steady approach. After all, double-yolk eggs are rare, and once she had a plausible way to explain her supply channels, she could openly purchase them.
"It's okay, we sell them for five yuan each. After deducting the water and electricity costs and the purchase price, we can still make a profit. We also use that kind of scarcity marketing strategy—don't owe your classmate a favor, it's hard to repay. I'll give you the money this afternoon, you can pay for the eggs you bought last time, and then buy more, enough for three days, too many won't be fresh. Should I send it by same-city courier or should I drive over to pick it up?"
Liu Hongmei teaches her daughter with a lot of life philosophy.
"I'll have the boss deliver it directly to our yard."
Xu Milu knew, of course, that there was no such thing as a chicken farm, so she could only make an excuse to avoid it.
"Okay, then you focus on your work and we'll talk when you get back."
Liu Hongmei hung up the phone with a satisfied smile.
...
...
Xu Milu put down the phone, thinking that she had not only fabricated a friend who was buying up wild delicacies, but also a chicken farm with a shortage of supplies.
It's really driving me crazy.
To alleviate her depressed mood, Xu Milu began to study the Ping Pong Grapes and Egg Cherries she brought back from the Gourmet Hunter dimension.
Ping-pong grapes live up to their name; they are as big as ping-pong balls, and the dark purple berries feel heavy in your hand.
The grains are huge, but it is still a cluster fruit plant. At first glance, it looks like an enlarged version of American black grapes.
The skin isn't very thick, so it's easy to bite through. It tastes great, refreshing and cool. It's not only sweet, but it also has the unique tart aroma of grapes. It's much more normal than fried dandelion. You can take this home for your family to eat.
She could only secretly pluck the fluff from the fried dandelions before taking them home for her family to eat, since the plant looked so strange that even a fool could tell something was wrong.
Fortunately, time is frozen in Xu Milu's storage compartment, so the food won't spoil. It's perfect except that she can't sell it.
It's not that Xu Milu doesn't trust her family, but rather that once a secret is known to someone other than herself, it's no longer a secret.
Don't be fooled by Liu Hongmei's constant use of "Your Uncle Sun, Your Uncle Sun"; it won't be long before there's a real outcome.
She couldn't guarantee that her mother would be able to keep it a complete secret once the two of them actually got together.
With so many people knowing the secret, who can guarantee they won't talk in their sleep or slip up in a moment of carelessness?
After all, this was a huge temptation from another dimension, and she dared not and was unwilling to gamble on whether human nature was good or evil. Therefore, it was best for her to know alone.
...
...
Xu Milu had figured out a way to earn energy by exploiting the price difference. She would "buy" goods from the Food Dimension and then sell them on Earth. After receiving the purchase price, she could use the money to buy energy—jade—for the next dimensional jump.
Xu Milu's business is almost "cost-free." The more perfect the dimensional jumper is repaired, the less cost she incurs.
