Yushan Pavilion isn't a place everyone can afford. Take your Gugu Beast Foot, for example. It costs 680 yuan a piece at Yushan Pavilion! The food we had tonight could fill five of their plates. And that plate of fried potatoes, sprinkled with their special seasoning, is 280 yuan. I used to go there every month for a nice meal, but I always felt so bad afterward.

Besides high-end restaurants like Yushan Pavilion, there are also some excellent smaller establishments. Their prices are relatively low, but the taste is naturally inferior to Yushan Pavilion's. Within this vast empire, restaurants on each planet design unique dishes based on local specialties. For example, on the planet of Hero, due to its proximity to the ocean, the people there prefer to eat a variety of marine life; their cuisine primarily focuses on seafood.

Lieyang Star, however, is close to the sun, with a significant temperature swing between day and night: unbearably hot during the day and bitterly cold at night. Because of this, this planet produces a rich harvest of delicious fruits like grapes, cantaloupes, and watermelons (just like Xinjiang on Blue Star). However, their livestock industry is well-developed, and the people's diet primarily consists of beef and mutton. This planet is a fusion of Xinjiang and Tibet.

Cybertron's unique climate, with its six-month-long winter, has shaped the planet's inhabitants' unique dietary habits. Knowing the preciousness of food, they cultivate a habit of storing it to cope with the long, harsh winters. Furthermore, they have a particular fondness for rich foods, particularly meat and fish, a dietary trait closely related to their environment.

Of course, there are countless planets in the universe, each with its own unique culinary culture. Weier only mentioned some of the planets she has visited, and she can't give a definitive description of those she hasn't set foot on. In the future, there are still many unknown worlds waiting for us to explore.

After listening to Wei'er's story, I conducted a thorough search on the Starnet. The more I learned, the more certain my suspicions became. To some extent, the Empire's culinary culture isn't as diverse as that of Blue Planet, but when viewed within the broader interstellar landscape, it's still at a higher level.

I was already thirty when I lived on Blue Planet. As a seasoned reader with sixteen years of experience, I'd encountered a wealth of interstellar-themed literature. Sadly, however, descriptions of interstellar cuisine were few and far between. However, the variety of porridge I've tasted recently in the hospital, and the dazzling array of vegetables, fruits, and meats available in stores, have all proven to me that the "food desert" often mentioned in interstellar literature is simply a misconception. It now seems my previous assumption was completely correct.

While the Empire's culinary culture isn't particularly impressive, it's not unbearably bad either. This is undoubtedly a good thing for me. After all, my personality forbids me from becoming the kind of powerful woman who expands territory and pioneers a new era of interstellar cuisine. Nor will I, like those heroines in interstellar novels, pilot a mecha to defend my homeland. Naturally, I'll never experience a thrilling romance. These are dreams and goals I can never achieve in my lifetime. My greatest wish is actually very simple: to live peacefully in this vast interstellar world. Once I earn enough money, I can undergo hormone removal surgery to restore my slender figure. I also hope that this competition will attract more attention to the nursery, allowing it to continue operating long-term and providing substantial improvements to the children's living conditions.

"Come back to your senses." Seeing that I was in a daze, Wei'er stretched out her hand and waved it in front of my eyes. "Sui Sui, you are so passionate about food. We can go to the food street when we have time. Although it is not as delicious as your cooking, it can also change the taste."

After hearing Wei'er's words, I couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Wei'er, you really have too much confidence in me! As the saying goes, 'There are always people better than you,' and you think my cooking is delicious, maybe just because you haven't met anyone who cooks better than me. You praising me like this will make me a little flattered, and maybe even become proud and complacent."

Wei'er looked at me seriously and said, "Sui Sui, please don't underestimate yourself! In my eyes, you're really great, no worse than anyone else. I've carefully watched the videos you uploaded online about the Love Nursery School. They're really novel and interesting. The children in the nursery school look super cute in your videos! And the content of your videos is also very meaningful. I'm sure they will attract a lot of attention."

I smiled and nodded, my heart overflowing with gratitude. Besides my parents, family, and a few very close friends, Wei'er was the first person to praise me so sincerely. And now, she had become one of my good friends.

"By the way, Wei'er, didn't you say that the Empire has many restaurants with different specialties?" I asked curiously, "Then are there any restaurants that specialize in Blue Star cuisine?"

Wei'er thought for a moment and replied, "It seems there are a few, but they're not cheap. What? Do you want to eat Earth's delicacies?"

"I kind of miss the taste of Earth," I said. "It would be great if I could have a bowl of authentic rice noodles."

"Rice noodles?" Wei'er showed a puzzled expression, "What kind of delicious food is that? I've never heard of it."

So, I started to introduce the method of making rice noodles and the taste to Wei'er. Wei'er listened with great interest and kept asking questions.

"Wow, that sounds delicious!" Wei'er said, "I want to try it too."

"I will definitely take you there to eat if I have the chance next time," I promised.

We chatted and enjoyed the food. At this moment, I felt extremely happy and satisfied.

While having a pleasant conversation with Wei'er, time passed by like a flash. In the blink of an eye, it was already dark and the clock hand quietly pointed to ten o'clock in the evening.

"Sui Sui, it's already late. I should go home too. You should also wash up and get ready, and go to bed early. After all, you have to go to work tomorrow." Wei Er said gently, then slowly stood up and walked towards the door. She bent down gently, changed into the shoes placed by the door, then reached out to grasp the doorknob, gently turned it, and pushed the door open to leave.

"Sui Sui, good night! Make sure you get a good rest! You're the best!" Wei Er waved goodbye to me with a smile, then turned and left without hesitation, not even looking back. As the door closed, the room suddenly became quiet. I was left alone, silently reminiscing about the wonderful time I had just spent with Wei Er.
