There is another type of fish that gathers in groups. Its body is a bright magenta, and its tail is an orange fan that spreads out in the water. Xu Milu took out a transparent jar from her schoolbag, put a few fish in it, and picked a few water plants, intending to take them back for Xu Minian to play with.
Xu Milu then turned her attention to the aquatic plants with milky white, round fruits.
This plant looks like reeds on Earth, growing in dense clumps, with dark green leaves on the front and a fresh green on the back.
She looked closer and discovered that the milky white, round fruits were just like eggs on Earth, but they were arranged in an orderly fashion like ripe ears of wheat. Long ears of wheat sprouted from a single plant, and about a dozen egg-shaped fruits weighed down the plant stems, causing them to bend over heavily.
【Wheat Ear Egg: Non-toxic, can be eaten raw. Cooking with the leaves of the wheat ear egg will give the passion fruit a more sophisticated aroma.】
This simple and straightforward introduction made Xu Milu's eyes light up:
"An egg growing on a reed? That's amazing."
She carefully picked an egg, gently cracked the shell, and put the egg into the water. Inside were two yolks—a double-yolk egg!
Small fish swam up from the lake and began to nibble at the egg yolk. Soon, the lake was filled with fish, so densely packed that it looked somewhat eerie.
It's already fantastical enough that eggs grow on plants, but a double-yolk egg?
Although Xu Milu didn't know how an egg could be cooked to produce such a sophisticated aroma, she was still very curious and picked quite a few.
Fearing she might break the eggs on her way back, she simply spread out the black needle grass, placed it under the eggs, and then covered them with the large leaves of the wheat ear egg.
"That's about it. Let's go back and see how to do it."
Xu Milu excitedly left a mark and immediately took her electric scooter back.
After a while, a small head timidly peeked out from among the dense wheat leaves, its bright black eyes wide open.
The owner of the eyes thought for a moment, then rushed over quickly, picked up a small handful of black needle grass that Xu Milu had dropped, and hid among the leaves of the egg-shaped wheat ears.
A gust of wind blew by, and the leaves of the egg-shaped wheat stalks rustled together, making a "shush" sound. A large fish, as tall as a person, leaped high into the lake, bringing with it a burst of white pearly light. The water splashed and quickly returned to calm.
Occasionally, a few giant birds would fly swiftly across the sky; it was extremely peaceful.
———————————
It was only four o'clock in the afternoon when she returned from the Gourmet Hunter's world. The small shop, less than ten square meters in size, was suddenly filled with electric scooters and plenty of ingredients. If she hadn't closed the door, passersby would have thought it was a magic trick.
It took Xu Milu half an hour to tidy up before she pushed the empty electric scooter out. The once empty storage compartment of the dimensional jumper was now neatly filled with the fresh ingredients she had found.
Nearly five pounds of black needles, and about two hundred wheat ear-shaped fruits, were piled up, with two wheat ear leaves laid on top of each layer.
Because of their unusual shapes, Xu Milu juiced the twenty mulberry fruits separately and put them into different glass bottles. This is currently just concentrated juice, and it will be ready to eat after being diluted.
The rainbow-colored fish she brought back, although they had lost their ability to reproduce, were still very resilient. They swam around in the glass bottle, their big tails swaying back and forth, making them incredibly beautiful.
After doing all this, Xu Mi began to process the wheat ear eggs.
"What exactly does an egg with a premium aroma taste like?"
Xu Milu scratched her head and thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. After thinking for a while, she simply took out the braising liquid from Liu Hongmei's tea eggs in the refrigerator, took out thirty egg fruits and started braising them.
Of course, she didn't forget to chop the wheat leaves into small pieces and put them in a tea bag, making it look just like a regular tea bag from the outside.
Liu Hongmei used to sell braised tea eggs. If the tea eggs made from these eggs could be sold, it would save her some money. Xu Milu happily scrolled through her phone while distractedly observing the braising pot.
I haven't been on QQ for the past few days, and when I opened the messages, they were all over 99. Xu Milu deleted some messages from people who weren't important and replied to the rest.
She had just posted in the dormitory group chat when her roommates scolded her, saying that she hadn't even made a phone call since she had been home for so many days.
【Silly Sculpture No. 1 (Zhang Mengmeng)】: Did you go home to inherit a million-dollar family business? You didn't even go to the graduation event, you could at least have submitted a resume.
【I am the girl who picks her toes (Sun Ying)】: Yeah, you just dumped all the department's work on me like that? You're such an irresponsible department head.
[Da Mi (Xu Mi Lu)]: I don't have a million-dollar business, but I have a small shop of ten square meters. Come to my house, and I'll give you all the steamed buns and mantou you want!
[I am the girl picking my toes (Sun Ying)]: Auntie, are you alright? What about your graduation thesis?
【Silly Sculpture No. 1 (Zhang Mengmeng)】: Call me if you need anything. I've submitted your resume for you these past two days. If there are any good ones, I'll send them to you.
【DaDaMiao (Pang Lina)】: You have to graduate first, right? Your mom can't really let you go back to sell breakfast, can she?
The message was sent out and then quickly retracted.
Xu Milu knew that Pang Lina had no bad intentions, so she briefly explained the situation at home, but concealed the matter of the dimensional device.
Xu Milu's three roommates were very concerned and said they would help her if they could, as long as she asked.
Although Xu Milu knew she wouldn't borrow money from them, she still felt touched.
Xu Milu then told her advisor about her situation. She had already finished writing her graduation thesis and could return to Sichuan and Chongqing a month before her graduation defense.
Xu Milu sighed, put down her phone, and couldn't help but wonder if she would still want to go back to an ordinary life after being hit by such a huge windfall.
Do I really still want to live that kind of 9-to-5 life, busy all day long?
The answer is no, but if Xu Milu were to immediately decide whether or not to become a transdimensional merchant, searching for ingredients in that dangerous transdimensional space and then reselling them to Earth, she wouldn't be able to make a decision right away.
Lost in thought, Xu Milu was so engrossed that she was awakened by a wonderful fragrance.
