"Madam Xu, is this the brocade Qiankun bag you requested?"
Mo Xuan hurried over from the backyard, carrying a brocade pouch with a label on it. He looked at Liu Peiqiang with curiosity. Although he had seen this man a few times, he hadn't spoken to him much. He found the man quite interesting, not only because of his strange smell, but also because of his odd clothes.
Xu Milu took the Qiankun bag and examined it carefully, her beautiful eyebrows relaxing slightly:
"100,000 wheat seaweed balls, 50,000 catties of polar fast-growing tomato seeds, 50,000 catties of fluorescent strawberry insect eggs, 50,000 catties of juicy upside-down apple seeds... No more, no less, Aoki has prepared well."
With a deputy, she no longer needed to painstakingly collect ingredients and seeds from the Gourmet Dimension. She only needed to send the target quantity and specific requirements to Aoki, and he could gather them in the shortest time. The funds used to purchase the seeds came from selling the Nameless Island's specialty: "Dark Cuisine Pack".
Yes, it's the instant noodle seasoning packet with pickled cabbage flavor.
Although the dark cuisine world has always been suppressed in the food world, it is an open secret that "dark cuisine packs" can inspire the talents of food hunters.
Xu Milu is very cautious, only releasing ten packets a month. In addition, Aoki handles things properly, and the nameless island is not under the jurisdiction of the Food Association. As long as she does not publicly announce that she has joined the "Dark Cuisine World", there will basically be no problem.
After all, the world of food is boundless, and such a small amount of "dark cuisine kits" entering the market is as silent as a drop of water falling into the ocean.
“The quantity is not a problem. This is what the United Government wants. In addition to the equivalent energy stones and lunar soil, I plan to exchange an extra 30% of the seeds for some special items this time.”
Xu Milu weighed the Qiankun bag in her hand and said:
"However, what I want this time is a bit special, so you might have to ask Director Hao for permission."
"Of course, no problem. But Miss Xu, can such a small cloth bag, which is less than the size of my palm, really hold so many things? What kind of advanced space folding technology is this? Or is it quantum technology that humans cannot understand at present? I mean, if the seed is shrunk, then its weight cannot be erased. If it is transferred to another special space, then wouldn't this bag be considered a special space entrance?"
Liu Peiqiang was extremely curious about the Qiankun Bag. He held it with both hands and examined it carefully, almost as if he was about to take out a pair of scissors to cut it open and see what was inside.
"You can think of it as using some kind of force to create a separate four-dimensional space in three-dimensional space. You can't see it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The weight and volume in four-dimensional space are certainly not comparable to the three-dimensional world, which is why you can't feel any weight."
Xu Milu gestured with her hand before explaining with a smile:
"Let me make this clear first, also, if the Qiankun Bag is damaged, the contents inside will disappear immediately, so I suggest you keep it safe."
"So that's how it is?!"
Liu Peiqiang was startled, and his earlier intention to open the Qiankun bag to take a look vanished instantly.
Just kidding, he was just curious, he didn't want to cause trouble for himself!
Xu Milu added another sentence:
"Well, consider this Qiankun bag a loan to you. You need to return it to me next time you make a transaction. As for the jade and lunar soil used for payment, they can be directly sent to the skies above Antarctica. Penguins will come to sign for it."
Liu Peiqiang: "..."
What did you just say you'd go over there to sign for it?
...
...
Beijing Temporary Shelter No. 3
As the weather gets colder, snow has become a regular occurrence. Only when the sky clears and the sun shines do the residents of the shelter feel something is amiss.
The weather was unusually cold today. A cold wave warning was issued over the shelter's loudspeaker, and all outdoor work was suspended for half a day. The snow fell heavily, with each snowflake as big as an adult's palm, making a "pat-pat" sound when it hit the buildings.
For a time, the only people still working inside and outside the shelter were the coalition government troops wearing military protective suits and the giant robots that seemed oblivious to the cold.
"Glug glug glug..."
Inside the shelter hospital ward, the sound of boiling water mixed with the buzzing of an electromagnetic induction cooker could be heard. On an induction cooker sat a large earthenware pot, inside which orange-red meat broth simmered. As the cook stirred the pot, a rich, mouthwatering sweet and sour aroma spread throughout the ward.
In the ward, more than a dozen pairs of eyes were fixed on the earthenware pot, swallowing sounds rose and fell, and everyone's face was filled with longing.
"Is it done? Is it done?"
"Grandpa Han, is it ready to eat?"
"Gulp... It smells so good, even the gods wouldn't trade this for a bite..."
"Is it ready to eat? It smells so good—"
Looking much more energetic, Han Zi'ang picked up a spoon and tapped the edge of the earthenware pot, a kind smile spreading across his usually cheerful face:
"Hehe, alright, alright, kids, hurry up and get your lunchboxes. It's cold outside today, so Grandpa Han will treat you to potato and cabbage soup!"
Wow! Really? Thank you, Grandpa Han!
Wow! Thank you, Grandpa Han!
"Grandpa Han is amazing!!"
"Grandpa Han is the best!"
"Liu Qi, your grandfather is so generous!"
A group of little kids cheered and lined up with their lunchboxes to get their food. After Han Ziang filled each of their lunchboxes to the brim with potatoes and cabbage, they thanked him one by one and happily returned to their wards to share the delicious food with their families.
In this special era, a bowl of hot tomato, potato and cabbage soup is already a very luxurious delicacy. Although the city government distributes tomatoes in its weekly supplies, no one is as generous with the ingredients as Han Ziang, let alone the meat in the soup.
