Although Emerald walked quickly and seemed anxious, the expression on her face was the most relaxed she had ever been.
She was only carrying a 28-inch silver suitcase with a fingerprint lock. She walked into the yard and shoved the suitcase into Gu Xixi's hands.
"Three hundred years from now, the locks used in suitcases on Earth will be cutting-edge technology. I spent half a day searching back yesterday before I could find a suitcase with such an outdated lock for you."
After finishing her speech, Emerald went to sit down at the stone table. Compared to her previous restraint and rigidity, she seemed much more relaxed and at ease. "This contains all the information on the construction of the space city. It includes the materials, processes, and information on the high-end spacecraft equipment and life support systems that you need to develop for building the space city."
Gu Xixi sat quietly next to her, while Chu Feng took out a voice recorder to take notes.
"I believe these things will be very useful for you to speed up the construction of the space city. Also, I found this USB drive in the junkyard, since we had already started using quantum computers back then."
Emerald then pulled a USB drive from her purse, her gesture and movement making it look like she was picking up a handful of melon seeds, and stuffed it into Gu Xixi's outstretched palm.
"These USB drives contain information on how to efficiently and safely maintain the space city, how to securely transmit information and command and control to the ground, how cosmic impacts such as geomagnetic storms and solar flares are converted into the energy needed by the space city, the establishment of defense systems, and data communication link modules for space warships..."
Jade stopped talking halfway through, realizing that Gu Xixi probably wouldn't understand.
"In short, it contains all the preparations you need to build your space city, as well as the technical difficulties you might encounter and their solutions. This is the result of over 100 years of research. Okay, you've got the stuff. You promised to treat me to dinner today, where's the dinner?"
She has never eaten a hot meal in her life; she survives by drinking strange powders or receiving energy injections every day.
Gu Xixi accepted the box and handed it directly to Chu Feng. She then glanced at the kitchen on the third floor of the supermarket, where the lights were bright and the sounds of chopping vegetables were quite lively.
A hand reached out from the window above and made a "1" gesture towards Gu Xixi. Gu Xixi understood immediately. "Don't worry, the dishes will be served soon. There are several dishes that meet the standards for state banquets, several dishes that are from the local cuisine scene, as well as local snacks and drinks."
She refused to believe she couldn't win over Jade's stomach.
To win a woman's heart, you must win her stomach, Gu Xixi was very confident.
Soon, the first dish arrived, a heavyweight and high-profile dish, one of the contenders for state banquet status: Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
The earthenware pot was placed on the stone table, and the aroma of various foods was already eager to be released. Chen Yu set out the bowls and chopsticks for Jade, then lifted the lid. Instantly, the fragrance wafted out, startling Jade.
负责这道菜的厨师就站在顾希溪身后,解释,“这道菜选用了8204;鲍鱼、8204;海参、8204;鱼唇、8204;牦牛皮胶、8204;杏鲍菇、8204;蹄筋、8204;花菇、8204;墨鱼、8204;瑶柱、8204;鹌鹑蛋等一系列珍馐美味……通过文火煨制的独特工艺……请品尝。”
I'd only ever seen the names of these ingredients in documentaries before; so this is the legendary Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!
She carefully scooped out a small bowlful, intending to try it out first. Holding the steaming bowl in her hands, she suddenly felt a sense of warmth... Emerald's heart trembled slightly. She gently blew on it, took the first bite, and her eyes immediately brightened.
But she quickly concealed her surprise.
She didn't say anything, just focused on eating the delicious food. The feeling of the hot food entering her body was really wonderful. She seemed to be able to experience a feeling called happiness. It was amazing.
However, the dishes continued to be served: braised shark fin, boiled cabbage in clear broth, bird's nest with rock sugar, and three-course duck.
Seeing that there were too many dishes being served, Jade tried her best to restrain herself, eating only a small half bowl of each dish. After finishing this batch of dishes, Gu Xixi clapped her hands again, and Chen Yu brought out more local specialties and ice-cold beer.
"These are a bit spicy, I don't know if you can get used to them, but you can try them. Eating them together like this is quite enjoyable."
Jade could smell a pungent odor as soon as she sat down, and she wondered if it could really taste good.
She hesitated before picking up a bright red dried chili pepper, but Gu Xixi quickly stopped her, "Hey, that's a condiment. It's best not to eat it. Try eating a couple of bites of food, and when your mouth is burning, then drink a sip of ice-cold beer."
Gu Xixi simply demonstrated, and Jade followed suit. The stimulation of the taste made her hum in response. At first, she frowned in discomfort, and then she became puzzled.
A feeling of increasing pleasure from stimulation gradually took hold, followed by a sip of ice-cold beer, creating a sensation of both ice and fire. Jade felt a tingling sensation on her scalp.
Could Gu Xixi have drugged her? This feels so strange.
But she kept eating, taking several bites of each dish before trying to stop herself. Gu Xixi then had the dishes cleared away and started serving desserts.
Judging from Emerald's expression, she was clearly wavering, and Gu Xixi decided to strike while the iron was hot.
Beijing's bean curd cake, Guangdong's rice noodle rolls, Zhejiang's Jinhua soup dumplings, Yunnan's lemongrass grilled fish, Shandong's Panjia donkey meat, Guangxi's snail rice noodles, Chongqing's hot and sour noodles...
There are also various milk tea brands, such as Mixue Ice Cream Lemonade, Duck Shit Lemon Tea, Cheese Mango Milkshake, Jasmine Green Grape, Pearl Milk Tea, Mango Pomelo Sago... twelve representative milk teas.
Emerald's eyes widened, especially when she started drinking her milk tea. Suddenly, contrary to her usual aloof demeanor, she let out a burp and said, "You guys are eating too well."
She picked and tried some more, unable to stop eating. Finally, Gu Xixi brought out a cream cake and a fruit platter, and Emerald was completely unable to eat anymore, surrendering completely.
"Alright, alright, stop. I can't eat anymore. Tell me, what do you want to exchange these for?"
Gu Xixi smiled slightly. It's done!
"I want all the research and development data for the spaceship. I'll trade you the fresh ingredients used to make this food; I've already prepared ten tons of them today. If you agree, you can take the contents of these vehicles now. As for the total quantity of the transaction, we can discuss it further."
Gu Xixi cupped her face in her hands, leaned on the stone bench, and chuckled.
Emerald glanced at her prepared supplies and then at the food in front of her, suppressing her urge to pick up her chopsticks.
Thinking about the current situation in my area, yes, the water resource problem has been solved, and the necessary conditions for survival have been met, but people are not happy.
Yes, I am very unhappy.
Aside from living and producing labor, there are only some entertainment projects that are very high-tech for Gu Xixi's Earth, but this has been going on for over a hundred years, and everyone is already bored with it.
Humanity has no expectations for migrating to a new planet in the future; many do not even look forward to living, merely existing like zombies.
Living in a cold, technological world.
Jade thinks that people might need hot food like this. Food can bring joy, generate new hope, and awaken vitality.
So she nodded decisively, "Okay, I agree to exchange with you, but I have one more condition."
