Scientific Travel

Perhaps it is because the people here still have a sense of awe for nature that the extent of destruction has not been too great, which has led to the current natural disaster.

But different technologies are not the same. One is from the era of cold weapons, and the other is from the era of energy cannons. They are not comparable.

A high-tech world confronts high-difficulty natural disasters, while a low-tech world confronts low-difficulty natural disasters.

The latter may have caused more casualties than the former.

Although Gao Ruizhe appears to be a beggar, he is actually very wealthy.

Even so, one couldn't help but be surprised when seeing the contents of Deng Yinyi's warehouse.

Nowadays, most people's diets consist mainly of meat, and very few people can afford vegetables.

Or perhaps it means they dare to eat vegetables.

There are only two kinds of people whose menus contain food: the very rich and the very poor.

Vegetable prices have risen sharply, but even more expensive than vegetables are the prices charged by chefs who are willing to cook vegetarian dishes.

Until the dish is fully cooked, there's no guarantee it won't mutate, which is why many chefs are unwilling to cook vegetarian dishes. It's not worth risking your life for such a small amount of money.

Some poor people can't afford anything and can only dig up some wild vegetables to eat.

The price of wild vegetables hasn't increased much. Rich people never eat these things, and poor people dig them up themselves; very few people would spend money to buy them.

The vegetables in Deng Yin's warehouse all looked very fresh, and even a random basket of them would fetch a high price if sold elsewhere.

There were even two baskets of fish.

Each fish looked quite large, weighing at least six pounds. Such fish are rare even in summer, let alone in winter when the river is frozen.

Most of the baskets were full of vegetables. Even after the plants mutated, there were still so many vegetables in the house, which means the owner must really love vegetables.

Gao Ruizhe gritted his teeth and took several kinds of vegetables that he was good at cooking.

If you want to win someone's heart through their stomach, you should start by focusing on the ingredients.

Choosing the right ingredients is half the battle won in making this dish.

Gao Ruizhe was very cautious at first, but after making several dishes and not seeing any plant mutations, he felt a little more at ease.

Deng Yin's kitchen was very large, larger than the average person's kitchen. It had two stoves and three iron rings around them, with pots on top of the rings, which meant that it could cook up to five dishes at the same time.

Gao Ruizhe didn't waste a single one; he used all five pots and made 13 dishes in less than an hour.

He does have some skill; the dishes he makes are exquisitely presented and look very appetizing. Thirteen dishes are placed on a large table, and the various flavors blend together without feeling strange at all. Instead, they create an even greater aroma.

The table is square, just right for four people, one person sits on each side.

What could be a better way to express your love than by picking food for someone at a meal?

No!

Gao Ruizhe stretched out his arm, trying to put the food from his chopsticks into Deng Yin's bowl.

Deng Yin saw this and said, "Put the food on your chopsticks into your bowl before picking up more food. Otherwise, the food on your chopsticks will fall off when you pick up food. There's still plenty of food. Don't worry, there's enough for you." After saying that, he pushed the plate in front of him towards him.

Gao Ruizhe blushed when he heard that Deng Yin had misunderstood, and wanted to explain.

Wei Wujiang put down her chopsticks and frowned, saying, "Don't talk while eating."

Gao Ruizhe swallowed back the words he was about to say.

Deng Yin gave Wei Wujiang a strange look. He used to talk a lot during meals, so why is he being so particular now?

The meal was eerily quiet. Although the food was delicious, Deng Yin ate almost entirely by himself.

Deng Yin noticed this and nodded in approval to himself.

They're so easy to feed; they're full after eating so little.

After dinner, Gao Ruizhe offered to wash the dishes. Wei Wujiang didn't argue with him and got up to go back to her room. In the end, Feifei and Gao Ruizhe each washed half of the dishes.

Deng Yincai doesn't care who washes the dishes, as long as it's not her.

One advantage of eating canned food is that you don't have to wash dishes.

Although most canned food containers were disassembled and washed, cypress metal is different from bowls; it doesn't stick to oil and can be cleaned simply by rinsing with water.

Life here is mostly easy, the only difficult time was the first time I washed the dishes.

Deng Yin scrubbed two loofah sponges raw before he could barely clean the bowl.

From then on, I used bowls one by one and threw them away. Fortunately, I had a lot of them at home, enough to last me for a while. After I used them up, I went to the city and bought a lot of bowls.

Oh right, there are also plates, chopsticks, and cups.

To put it simply, if we assume a meal consists of one bowl, one chopstick, and five plates, it would last until you're sixty.

But now it seems that it's definitely not enough.

Okay, I'll buy it tomorrow.

Deng Yin always went to town early in the morning. He was momentarily stunned when he saw smoke coming from the kitchen chimney and Wei Wujiang chopping firewood in the yard.

Did people in ancient times not need sleep? They got up so early every day.

Just then, Gao Ruizhe finished cooking and came out with two bowls. Seeing that Deng Yin had woken up, he smiled and said, "Time to eat."

Well, there's no rush to buy bowls, let's eat first.

Although it was breakfast, Gao Ruizhe made a very lavish meal, with four dishes and a soup, plus a super soft pancake. Deng Yin soaked the pancake in the soup, and when she bit into it, the juice splashed out, like eating a watermelon soup pancake.

Thinking of this, Deng Yin's desire to eat watermelon reached its peak.

The crisp, thin skin splits in two with the slightest tap, revealing a bright red interior; juice splatters out as soon as a spoon is inserted.

It's said that watermelons come in three levels of sweetness. Level one is like the sweet peas in a can of sweet peas—not very sweet. Level two is similar to honey water. Level three is so sweet it warms your heart; eating it will make you feel like there's nothing happier than this.

The watermelons introduced by Deng are of grade three sweetness.

Unfortunately, there aren't many seeds left, and they'll be gone once the watermelon is eaten. It would be best to return to Heze Star before the watermelon is finished.

Legend has it that watermelons in ancient times had seeds, and people could use the leftover seeds to grow watermelons.

Unfortunately, with the changing times, this type of watermelon has long been lost.

The watermelon caught Deng Yin's attention. Looking at the breakfast in front of him, he had no appetite and only ate a couple of bites before leaving.

Gao Ruizhe saw that she had left a lot of soup and hadn't eaten much of the bread, so he assumed she didn't like it and decided he would never put those two dishes on the table again.
