Interstellar Gardener Life

Chapter 166 Grape Flavored Pearl Milk Tea

When the doorbell of the virtual cabin rang, Jiang Ling was in the Qi Ya language single-person classroom in the Xingwang high-speed area.As soon as the music played the prelude, Jiang Ling rushed out of the classroom, rushed into the personal login room, and exited the star network. A carp straightened up, stood on the bed with his hips akimbo, and stared at the door!
—Hmph, Dongming, you are finished!
……what?Sins halved, etc.?

go!That was before the doors opened twice!

Since it's a special discount and a big sale from a building, it will naturally expire!
*********
As soon as the hatch opened, it was finally, indeed, really Dongming this time.

Jiang Ling hugged her arms together: "Did your colleagues let you back?"

Dongming looked at Jiang Ling, lowered his eyes and said "um", then looked at Jiang Ling again.

He could still smell a little moisture on his body, because he had just come out of the bathroom and his hair had been dried, but after all, his skin was a little more moisturized than usual.In the past, Jiang Ling probably couldn't smell it, but now, Jiang Ling can, so...

Jiang Ling was very spineless and relented. He put down his hands and turned to let the door open, watching Dongming come in: "They tormented you for a long time?"

——Has it hurt for a long time?
"It's okay." Dongming mumbled softly, and then changed the subject, "Your language class is over, let's go to the bar to see how it is... What is this?" He found the carrot and cucumber candy in the storage cabinet Stripes.

Jiang Ling regained her spirits immediately!You know, first of all, Jiang Ling expects Dongming to be jealous!Secondly, Jiang Ling expected Dongming to take action to solve the trouble.So Jiang Ling immediately described Tilun's evil appearance.Adding oil and vinegar is not enough, but it is certain to encourage Dongming to beat people!

……

But to Jiang Ling's surprise, Dongming was not annoyed, he just stood upright in front of the cabinet, staring at the flower: "I seem to be a little hungry..." Then Dongming turned his head to look at Jiang Ling, slowly Man Man frowned, and tentatively said in a soft voice, "Do you mind if I eat it?"

Jiang Ling smelled a sour smell, and was immediately happy: "Okay, you can eat." The main goal was achieved, and Jiang Ling was satisfied.Jiang Ling didn't care about the secondary purpose anymore, and left it behind.

Dongming took down the box, turned off the temperature and humidity controller at the bottom of the box, opened the box cover, took out the simple fork attached to the inside of the box, and "cracked" a few times to cut the whole flower into ten pieces. Several fragments.

Jiang Ling couldn't help feeling a little regretful: "What are you doing?"

Dongming flattened the corners of his mouth, but still paused: "It was meant to be eaten."

The sour taste is even stronger!Jiang Ling frowned, and hurried over to kiss Dongming sweetly: "Then cut it."

So Dongming cleanly and neatly smashed the carrot flower a dozen more times...

……

The sugar used to make the flower stems is Canadian maple syrup. The whole candy bar is hard on the outside and sticky and soft on the inside, which is very chewy.The carrots are not small, carved to bud, with cup-shaped flowers stuffed with strips of tomato pulp as flower centers, and poured with maple syrup.The syrup solidifies due to the low temperature, but it is not hard, it is still soft and tough.

So this flower is actually a vegetable salad with healthy ingredients.

Dongming ate quickly and silently.Jiang Ling was half curious and half intentional, and leaned over: "Let me taste a little too." Dongming couldn't help it, and handed Jiang Ling the fork slowly.

Jiang Ling poked a tomato, tasted it slowly, then tasted a slice of carrot, a cucumber, and finally a piece of maple syrup before returning the fork to Dongming.As soon as Dongming took back the fork, he quickly solved all the rest.

Jiang Ling was even happier, and deliberately said: "It tastes good! Hey, is it gone?"

Dongming threw the fork into the box, closed the lid and stood up: "It's okay. I'll go and return the box to him."

Jiang Ling regained his energy: "By the way, why don't you beat him up?" Secondary purpose!

Dongming shook his head: "He's not rude...I can't accuse him yet."

Jiang Ling raised her eyebrows: "'Yes, no, can'?"

Dongming looked at Jiang Ling: "You can only get married. Now you are still free." After speaking, he pursed his lips.

This look reminded Jiang Ling of Dongming's sentence "Are you married yet" when she was in Jinghai after receiving red envelopes from the treats? She couldn't help but smile: "Customs? Social conventions?"

"Ah."

Not to beat someone?Then... this kind of box is very cheap in Chia, just like the ordinary single-layer stainless steel lunch box on the earth, six or seven yuan a dozen, so since you have accepted the gift, you shouldn't return the box!So Jiang Ling hurriedly grabbed Dongming: "You don't have to return the box, do you?"

Dongming didn't push hard, but he insisted: "I have this, it's in the base dormitory." After a pause, he added: "In case he buys it again."

After all, Jiang Ling was still annoyed with Dongming. Seeing Dongming like this, bad factors suddenly appeared: "But I don't have one. I just took it with me for a snack or as a supper."

——Take it to the plant cabin, process it manually, and then replenish your body!

It's a pity that Dongming didn't know, and he fell silent.

Jiang Ling laughed wildly in his heart, almost couldn't hold it back, and pretended to be innocent with a smile on the surface: "Aren't you going to eat?"

"……eat!"

*********
After the two decided on the fate of the box, Dongming took it to the small cabin in the water, washed it, and dried it with air.

The small cabin is equipped with the water circulation equipment of the dormitory side, so not only drinking water and water for use are provided there, but also for washing face and mouth.

And what about Jiang Ling?Jiang Ling is currently highly allergic to this kind of equipment, so she hides in the cabin to cover her ears and steal the bell, carefully protecting the remaining half of her appetite.

Dongming will be back soon.There is only one water supply point for one passageway in the dormitory, and the bathroom is open at any time, so everyone is too lazy to run there for water.

Anyway, the "little snail" is also very useful, and it is easy to clean: after using it for a few days, just open the front of the handle, pour out a small piece of jelly-like hydrate, throw it into the toilet, and that's it.That's the dirt that wipes away.Dust, dander, and hair are all inside.

Only soldiers with long hair are a little more troublesome. They have to clean their long hair by themselves—in order to reduce visual monotony, and because of starship combat, when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, that is, when they are captured, it is a must to grow hair or beard. Allowed.It's just that during the training, the time for emergency assembly is already rushed, and those with long hair and beards must be like everyone else, and they must complete the military appearance within the same time...

This is not easy.Also troublesome.So most people still have short hair and shaved hair.Those with long hair are usually just a ponytail.Convenient, clean and neat.

As for the tentacles of the "little snail", they are directly antibacterial, and when viewed under a microscope, they are empty, with three or two puppies and cats.Therefore, it is more than enough to clean once a voyage.

……

Then Dongming took Jiang Ling to the bar.

The bar is now decorated in a bright and sunny manner, with a blue sky above, white clouds, and tall, verdant tropical trees on the bulkhead, with large leaves hanging down to the tables and bushes beside the chairs.

These are all holograms, just like the instructions on the physical equipment, as people walk past, there will be a feeling of trees shaking in the wind.And the scenery here in the bar has several floors, and it changes from time to time.

Jiang Ling looked around: "It's very beautiful."

"Really? I think so too." Dong Mingchao's group of people who were drinking made a slight gesture, "But they don't think so after seeing too much. Besides, they always complain about the lack of variety here. But they go on vacation When I come back, I will think about it again.”

"Get used to it."

"Well. I'm used to it. More importantly, although the daily supply is rationed here, the price is cheap."

"Play a few off?"

"Compared with the outside, it's about [-]% off. Sometimes there are special offerings: very cheap, or very rare. The latter is more expensive."

"...Hey? If you put it in the retail industry, there will be no profit, and it will be subsidized. Non-profit? Like a supermarket?"

"Yes."

Of course, the supermarkets on the starship are not big, but there are several of them, evenly distributed in the leisure area; in addition, although the space is small, the density of things is high, and there are many varieties of goods.

This is because most of the goods are stored inside and do not occupy the space outside: there is only a short row on the shelf for each kind of thing; Release one and make up.So the shelves in the supermarket are always full, and it makes people happy to look at them—you can pick and choose as you please!

Jiang Ling didn't buy anything, but went for a stroll and took pictures; I also happened to meet a sailor who was probably in a bad mood, took a bunch of things in his arms, and threw them back to the recycling machine at the door; After throwing it in, I threw it all in with a "crash", then patted the hem of the clothes, and walked away empty-handed.

In this regard, the few people next to him just shook their heads or smiled when they saw it, and took it away.The space on the starship is closed, and when everyone is unhappy, such a small vent is acquiesced.

As for things, the machine will automatically sort them and transport them back to the snow storage area.

……

The two found an empty table, sat down and ordered something, and the machine delivered it quickly.

The strawberry juice that Jiang Ling asked for, Dongming was absent-minded when he was ordering, so he pointed to one at random, but the machine came, and there was an extra cup of purple-red pearl milk tea in front of him. I just copied it and improved it to enter the formula of the machine.

The raw materials of this thing are simple, and paste food will do.Bubble milk tea on Earth is made with creamer.Creamer is non-dairy creamer, which belongs to the first-class food. It is not available on the starship, but there are many concentrated milks, so it can be replaced.

As for straws, they already exist here; if the size is not suitable, they can also be pressed and pulled by a machine, sterilized and recycled, and then continue to be pressed and pulled for reuse.Because of the material, it can be recycled many times.

Therefore, this recipe is highly recommended by the catering department on the starship - because their mission is to make various foods with a limited variety of paste ingredients, the more colors the better!
And Jiang Ling looked at the pearl milk tea, glanced at the "white mist" inside it, and smiled—well, on earth, pearl milk tea is high in calories and high in trans fatty acids such as hydrogenated vegetable oil, which is not good for the cardiovascular system But here, all the raw materials are upgraded, so the milk tea has also become a second-class food!

Dongming looked at Jiang Ling, opened his lips slightly, but closed them again, without uttering a word.

He was nervous, Jiang Ling smiled slightly, puzzled and said: "What's wrong?"

"..." Dongming took a sip of pearl milk tea, "Don't you want something else?"

He is even more nervous!Jiang Ling could tell without intuition, because with just one sip, the 500cc cup in front of Dongming became shallower by more than a third!

Jiang Ling glanced at the cup, then at Dongming, feeling very strange: "I'm not hungry." But Jiang Ling wanted Dongming to relax, so he pointed to the cup in front of Dongming: "Let me taste some .”

Dongming nodded and pushed the cup to Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling took a sip...it really tasted like grapes!So Jiang Ling looked at Dongming, gave a smirk, slowly took his glass of strawberry juice to him, and looked at Dongming again.

The corners of Dongming's lips curled up, he took a sip of the strawberry juice - at least he didn't drink so much this time. "I have something, I want to talk to you..."

Just then, someone crossed the table and strode towards them. "Hi, Dongming!" Ku Ying couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and walked faster and faster, almost trotting when he got close; he nodded to Jiang Ling, leaned on the back corner of Dongming's chair, and said to Dongming , "I'm still thinking about contacting you! That's great! Your ice cream...do you have any left? Do me a favor? It's coming to Hong Kong anyway!"
