Transmigrated into a pitiful pregnant woman, she is pampered by interstellar tycoons.
Chapter 2 Roasted Potatoes
Ruan Mian returned to her residence based on the original owner's memories. When she saw the house in front of her, she found it hard to accept.
I almost fell into a delusion, wondering if I had suddenly returned to the apocalypse.
Calling it rudimentary would be an understatement.
The walls were dilapidated, the winds blew from all directions, and the roof looked like it could collapse at any moment.
It's unimaginable that this is a house from the technological age.
The small room was filled with all sorts of odds and ends, except for a bed and a small table.
The original owner made a living by collecting and selling this garbage.
The little bit of trash in the house was collected by her from the garbage dump, working from dawn till dusk.
However, although there were many items, they were not worth much money. According to the original owner's memories, these items could not even be exchanged for a bag of the cheapest nutrient solution.
Ruan Mian's gaze swept over the body; it was thin and frail, with dry, yellow hair, looking malnourished. Although it was already 18 years old, it still looked like a child.
Clearly, there's no point in picking up trash.
She can't follow that old path; otherwise, she'll starve to death before she even earns any money.
With this in mind, she decided to first organize the things in the room, pack them up, and sell them all.
Buying and selling items in interstellar space is very convenient; you can simply scan the item with the quantum computer on your wrist to upload it.
In the interstellar age, quantum computers are an essential tool for everyone; it's fair to say that life would be impossible without them.
There are special recycling centers for this kind of trash. You can simply click on one-click recycling to automatically convert it into Star Coins.
After a tidying-up session that left me drenched in sweat, I earned ten interstellar coins.
The cheapest nutrient solution costs 25 Star Coins.
Ruan Mian clicked her tongue in amazement; she would never have the chance to taste what the nutrient solution was like.
After all that work, I was starving after only eating one tomato.
He placed his hands on the ground, activated his supernatural power, and tender green shoots immediately sprouted from the soil, quickly growing branches, leaves, and flowers, only to wither away just as fast.
This time, the fruit was buried underground.
Once the flowers and leaves have mostly withered, the fruits underground will have ripened.
I found a shovel, dug and pulled, and the fruit hidden underground was uprooted.
Each potato was large, golden, plump, and round, still covered in black soil; they looked delicious.
Although the dwelling was simple, technology was still present.
For example, there are no stoves here, but there are machines that use solar energy for heating.
It's usually used for heating at night, so it's not unreasonable for her to use it to roast a potato.
I found a metal box, washed it clean, put the potatoes inside, and turned on the heater to roast them.
Within two minutes, she smelled a burnt aroma; the machine was heating up faster than she had imagined.
After turning off the heater, the potatoes inside the metal box were already charred yellow.
I picked up a spoon and gently poked it. The inside was soft and fluffy. The golden-brown crust cracked open with the slightest touch, revealing the soft and chewy center.
A unique aroma of potatoes wafted through the air, making one's mouth water.
She blew on it, took a bite, and found the potato to be quite delicious. She didn't know if it was because she was extremely hungry, but she thought it tasted even better than the ones she had grown in the apocalypse.
Could it be that plants grown in interstellar soil taste better?
After quickly finishing two roasted potatoes, Ruan Mian felt full, her stomach warm and comfortable, and her whole body felt relaxed and pleasant.
'Thump thump thump, thump thump thump.'
Before she could even reach for the third baked potato, she was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Hello, is anyone home?"
Ruan Mian subconsciously hid the dagger she had found earlier on the table behind her back.
She had observed the garbage dump before she arrived; there were almost no people around, and certainly no homeless people as she had imagined.
But one should always be wary of others, and sure enough, someone came knocking on her door just now.
They tiptoed toward the door, on high alert.
The enemy is in the open while she is in the shadows. If the other side wants to do something, this thin door panel won't be able to stop it.
It seems we have no choice but to take a shortcut.
Through the crack in the door, I could only see a young woman standing outside, who looked to be in her early twenties.
There was no such person in the original owner's memories.
"Who are you? What do you want with me?"
Ji Jialin, who had already raised her hand to knock on the door again, was startled by the sudden sound and flinched back.
A blush appeared on her face.
It conveyed an awkwardness that came across as embarrassing.
"Excuse me, are you eating something? What are you eating? It smells delicious! Could you sell me some? I'd love to buy some!"
Ji Jialin's eyes lit up when food was mentioned.
She originally came to look for something her mother had thrown away, but as soon as she got here, she was attracted by a fragrance that seemed to have captivated her, drawing her in without her even realizing it.
It was a fragrance she had never smelled before, rich and powerful, even more fragrant than the high-grade nutrient solutions she had been fortunate enough to consume.
There was nothing she could do; it seemed all her mental energy was focused on her nose, amplifying the fragrance countless times over.
Unable to resist the temptation, she shamelessly knocked on the door of this house.
Actually, she regretted it as soon as she reached the door. This family looked very poor, perhaps even struggling to make ends meet. If she brought up this question rashly, they might think she was being insulted and might chase her away with a broom.
But the aroma wafting from inside the door was so tempting that she was willing to risk everything for it.
Ruan Mian was also very surprised. She had only roasted a few potatoes to eat, and someone had already discovered it?
His gaze swept over the drafty wall, and he understood somewhat.
As the saying goes, there are no secrets that stay hidden forever!
However, this also seemed like an opportunity. Ruan Mian sized her up and confirmed that she was richer than Ruan Mian.
"Are you really going to buy it?"
Seeing that things were looking promising, Ji Jialin immediately raised her right hand, "Yes, yes, I want to buy it! I can give you the money first!"
After thinking for a moment, he chuckled a couple of times, feeling a little embarrassed, and said, "As long as it's not too expensive, I can pay right away."
"wait a moment."
Ruan Mian turned around and picked up the roasted potato. Her gaze swept across the table, and she put it on an iron plate instead.
With a creak, the thin door opened, and instantly, a rich fragrance wafted towards her.
Tears, uncontrollable as ever, streamed down her face.
Sha—Sha—
Ji Jialin's gaze was instantly drawn to the potatoes in Ruan Mian's hand, and she couldn't look away.
"It smells so good! What is this? How can it smell so good? Is it edible?"
"Mmm." Ruan Mian nodded gently. "These are roasted potatoes. I just roasted them, and they're still steaming hot. They're best eaten right now."
He held up two fingers and said, "I'll take twenty interstellar coins from you."
A low-grade nutrient solution kept her full for two days, and she sold a roasted potato, which wasn't even available in the interstellar world, for twenty yuan. Was that too much to ask?
The girl in front of me looked quite surprised. Could it be that she couldn't accept the price?
"Is this stuff really edible???"
