Interstellar Gardener Life

Chapter 159 A Mango Grows Well——[Pink Ticket 370 Plus More]

Their physical training was not affected.But Jiang Ling's appetite for breakfast was completely hit by the high-efficiency circulation system on the starship, especially the water circulation system, and thus fell into an unprecedented trough.

You know, these beverages, food, their water for brewing and cooking are also recycled...

……

Jiang Ling tried to forget those as soon as possible.But there are some things, the more you want to forget, the more it drills into your mind.So when Jiang Ling ate, his face wrinkled from time to time.

Dongming changed a few topics and found that Jiang Ling would answer, but his face was still wrinkled at the same time. Knowing that it would not work, he simply kept silent and asked Jiang Ling to finish eating as soon as possible.

Jiang Ling only asked for half of the usual items, neither drinks nor desserts, and they settled them much faster than usual, so that when Jiang Ling finished eating, Dongming hadn't yet.

Then Jiang Ling breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down, slowly peeled her banana, and bit down hard.

Dongming looked at Jiang Ling, looked at his own plate, looked at his own golden red mango for a long time, picked it up, and put it on Jiang Ling's plate.

Fruits cannot be stored as semi-finished products like vegetables and meat.That way the rate of corruption will also increase.It must remain intact throughout.And what is the most precious thing on the starship?Use volume, which includes the use space for storing food.

Therefore, in non-paste foods, such as fruits, cooked vegetables, meat, staple foods, etc., fruit has the lowest efficiency-it takes up a lot of space and provides the least calories.However, as a secondary food, it has the longest shelf life.

The combination of these three points makes fruit the most valuable food supply.As for fruit juice, it is a highly concentrated product that is mixed with water in proportion before serving; the same is true for milk.

Because of this, the restaurant serves food, and there is no limit to other things, but there is a limit to fruit per person per meal.Usually it is one, and if it is too big, it will be cut in half.

……

In the past, it was just a mango, whether you like it or not, whether you like it or not.What's more, Jiang Ling is very average about mangoes.Don't hate it, but don't like it either.

But this one is different, this one was given by Dongming.And on the starship, one mango is equivalent to ten, twenty, or one hundred.

Anyone who is given a hundred such good mangoes will at least be pleasantly surprised.So Jiang Ling frowned.

But Jiang Ling didn't eat it right away, because he was almost six or seven percent full, and the mango was not small.Jiang Ling held the mango and smelled it, and decided to take it away as a snack.

Morning tea!

……

As they were about to leave, Kathy Kessing came over for lunch, lunch.Compared with the captain sequence, their working meals are much easier. There are many people in the same position, and they come out in turn, which is very coordinated.

The four of them stayed for a while and chatted for a while. Jiang Ling and Dongming took the empty plates to the closing counter and left the restaurant first.

Kai Xin looked at their backs and said happily: "Did you notice that the banana peel is also on her plate."

Casey was also happy: "Of course, I saw it. Oh, that mango grows really well."

"Yeah, golden red!"

"It just looks like a heart!" Indeed, the heart is not pointed at the bottom and has two round petals at the top.It's actually more like a fist.Also like a chubby mango.

Kathy Kassin sang and chorused, and then had a blast.At this time, three people they knew had finished ordering food one after another, came to sit down, and became curious when they saw this.The first person who sat down and settled down immediately asked, "What are you laughing at? Let's have fun together."

"Someone is courting."

"The one asked does not know."

"But I'm happy to accept it."

"Lucky hit."

"Just right."

The three laughed.The person who asked the question at the beginning suddenly reacted: "Wait, Kaixin, you said... courtship? Not courtship? Prohibition—prohibition!"

The other two stopped laughing immediately, and the second one was drinking a drink and slowly put down the cup.The third one looked at Kathy Kassing's relaxed expression and asked, "Is one of them someone from your security system?"

Casey Kassin nodded: "I guessed right." "Congratulations."

The three breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again.The second one picked up the cup again, and complained while having fun: "You two...make it clear next time, don't always play tricks..." The first shrugged: "That's good." The third continued to gossip: "Which position is the person from?"

Casey Kassing said to the first and third: "Mecha." "Your team."

Those two people didn't even ask who they were, and immediately clapped their hands in celebration: "Oh yeah!" "It's time to change people again!"

The second one was a bit disappointed: "It's not from our group?" He shook his head: "Even if he was transferred, he got a new face. After a few months of watching, he would be tired of it. There is still cooperation, and we need to get in again."

The other two immediately dismissed him: "You're jealous." "It's better than nothing."

Kathy Kassin took advantage of them celebrating, talking, and eating and drinking. At this time, he said innocently: "Why do you want to transfer someone?" "The other one is a guest."

First:"……"

The third:"……"

The second one: "...huh?" Then he gloated at the first and third ones, and said with a smile, "Look, I just said that they both love to play tricks!"

Casey Kassin glanced at each other and smirked!Then the first one and the third one laughed too.

……

After all, the life on the starship is monotonous, and as long as it is not too much, it can be said to be self-interested and beneficial to others.

Like Casey Kassin, she has a good understanding, she can play tricks as she likes, and the number of times she is played is very small.

But without their tacit understanding, they have no choice but to make a plan first, set up a code, and then play tricks, and be played by others anytime, anywhere.

However, being tricked or being tricked is better than nothing.

*********
Jiang Ling took a walk after dinner and wanted to go to the plant cabin.Dongming took her there without saying a word, and the journey was very quiet.

This made Jiang Ling feel that something was wrong with Dongming.But the plant cabin is close to the restaurant, so they will arrive soon.Jiang Ling was immediately interrupted in doubt.

Because Jiang Ling was surprised to find that the greenhouse in the starship was actually quite good.There are not only plants, but also some insects and arthropods.The latter, however, are isolated behind fully transparent bulkheads.Only some fast-growing and thornless grasses and shrubs were planted in front of the bulkhead...

—for petting!
However, pinching them is vandalism!Not to mention pulling off a leaf.The fine is heavy, compared to their ground price, very heavy.Because the space cost of supporting them on the starship is included.If the circumstances are serious, it is still a violation of military discipline!An Kong stared at it.

"However, if the voyage lasts for a long time, someone will still pick the leaves. I would rather be fined if I commit the crime knowingly."

"...It's really boring."

"Well. It's much better to sail the earth this time. They can take turns to go to the ground to breathe."

"So you specially arranged for the small transport ship, 'Spread it out, take it back'?"

"Yes."

"But why are there even plants?"

"Visual monotony."

"Can't you see it on the Starnet?"

"It's not the same. It's visually similar, but psychologically different."

Those grasses and shrubs that are used to be caressed are planted in fixed, closed long troughs, stems and branches protrude from the troughs, and the troughs are semi-solid and cannot fall out even if turned upside down.There is a low guardrail in front of the trough, more than one foot wide, for people to sit and rest.

The two of them sat on the guardrail, chatting casually.Jiang Ling was still holding the mango in his hand, playing around.There is no way, this mango is not small, if you force it into your clothes pocket, the mango will get stuck and it will be uncomfortable for you.

The "white mist" of the plants here is relatively dense, thicker than the plants of the same size on the earth, and there is no "gray fog".Jiang Ling poured it into the mango by the way.Then Jiang Ling turned her head and found that Dongming's ears were red.

Dongming noticed it, and turned his eyes away slightly.

Jiang Ling was amazed: "What's wrong?"

Dongming didn't make a sound, bent his legs, and hugged his knees with his left hand.

Jiang Ling was even more surprised and innocent: "I, what did I say?"

——The topic of their conversation is very common!No color at all!

Dongming lowered his head slightly, tapped the guardrail beside him with his right hand, and slowly put his forehead on his knees.Jiang Ling sat on Dongming's right.Dongming turned his face and glanced at Jiang Ling, then turned back and closed his eyes: "Aren't you going to eat it?"

His voice was weak and hoarse, unlike usual.Jiang Ling was completely dumbfounded. She looked at the mango in her hand, and then at Dongming carefully... This guy is emotional!
No wonder you hug your knees.cover up...

Jiang Ling hurriedly looked around without showing any signs.Fortunately, although there are people in the plant cabin all the time, because the restaurant over there is open, it is not the peak time here, and there are fewer people.

"Eat it?"

"Um……"

"Okay, okay, I'll eat...but...why? Why would you...are you allergic to mangoes? I mean, you have a mango complex?"

"...Let's talk about it later, okay?"

"Of course. Uh, this one seems too big. Can one person eat half of it? Or eat it whole?"

"It's all right, it's up to you...don't!"

Jiang Ling was taking off the fruit knife, and gave her a hand when she heard this.

Dongming didn't see it, he heard the sound; he didn't even open his eyes, didn't raise his head, his right hand went over, just pressed Jiang Ling's hand holding the knife, and slowly let go: "Don't Cut it with a knife."

"Oh, good." Jiang Ling quickly snapped the fruit knife back to her left wrist.Then Jiang Ling discovered a new problem, which is not usually a problem, but is likely to be a problem now: "Where is the skin? Can it be peeled?"

"Peel off..."

Dongming almost groaned when he uttered these two words.Jiang Ling carefully began to peel, while looking at him, his face became hot, and at the same time he was completely speechless - what he peeled was mango skin and mango clothes!It's not the clothes you're wearing, Dongming!
……

After all, the plant cabin is a public place, the key point is that it is a public place on the starship.Men and women can be close and friendly, but they should not be intimate.So Jiang Ling slandered, with a hot face, peeled the mango skin into a flower, then took a bite, and handed it to Dongming like a thief.

Dongming didn't answer, so he took a bite out of Jiang Ling's hand.Jiang Ling's face became hotter.

--Oh!Damn cultural differences...

*********
Jiang Ling could probably make a good guess, but he didn't know the details.Anyway, Dongming's mangoes are equivalent to her Jiang Ling's mandarin ducks, Bingdilian... and so on.

So, can you not cut mangoes with a knife in the future?What about other fruits?All fruits can not be cut?

That's great, maybe we'll say goodbye forever...

—Dear fruit platter!
