Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

At this point, Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang finally realized that the gold nuggets they had taken out weren't very valuable, but the apples were definitely worth a lot.

Judging from old John's current state, he's probably worth quite a bit of money.

Lin Xiaoqian coughed lightly and said calmly, "Then let's choose this one. Thank you, Old John."

Old John was very pleased to see that Lin Xiaoqian had chosen the one he recommended, and said to the shop assistant, "Take two of this one."

Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

They saw that this computer was so expensive and originally only wanted one, but Old John arranged for each of them to have one.

It seems that apples are indeed very valuable in this world!

Damn! Their six gold bricks! What a loss!

At this moment, the shop assistant brought over two unopened personal computers and asked, "Do you need to activate and bind them now?"

Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang had mixed feelings, but binding the quantum computer was the most important thing, so they nodded to the shop assistant.

The shop assistant helped unpack the package, revealing two brand-new optical computers.

In the interstellar world, quantum computers all require genetic binding.

"Please extend your hands."

When I put the watch on my wrist, it felt like an ant had bitten my skin, and my personal computer was instantly activated.

A bright screen immediately appeared in front of Lin Xiaoqian, displaying colorful images and text.

The shop assistant enthusiastically offered guidance: "You can take a look at this beginner's guide first."

Following the shop assistant's instructions, Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang began to gradually learn about the functions of the optical computer.

The screen displays various application icons, including interstellar navigation, shopping mall, social media platforms, and more.

There's also a privacy setting in the upper right corner. Once turned on, people next to you won't be able to see the content on the screen.

Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang put away their personal computer screens. Old John had already paid and was waiting for them to leave together.

After leaving the store, Old John sincerely said to Lin Xiaoqian, "If you still have any fruit from the Primal Star, please consider selling some to me first."

Lin Xiaoqian smiled and said to Old John, "Okay, Mr. John, if we still have any, we will definitely contact you."

Old John nodded repeatedly: "That's great, you'll definitely remember me."

Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang sat on a bench in the square, each fumbling with their own personal terminal.

Lin Xiaoqian searched for "Apple" on the product page and soon a screen full of Apple pages appeared.

The price wasn't expensive; a few Star Coins could buy a pound. Lin Xiaoqian found it a bit strange, so she casually opened a store with high sales volume to check the reviews.

Despite high sales volume, the reviews are overwhelmingly negative.

"It tastes awful, but I'm so tired of taking vitamin pills, I just want to try some fruit."

"It tastes really bad, I'd rather drink vitamin liquid."

"Ugh, this tastes awful. It's like chewing on a piece of sponge that I can't chew. I really want to eat the fruit from the Primitive Planet."

"I was fortunate enough to taste a fruit from a primitive planet, and the taste was simply amazing."

There were also follow-up comments under this post, all expressing envy.

Lin Xiaoqian searched for the Original Star Apple again, and found that all of them were sold out, and there were also many positive reviews.

The price can be as high as several thousand or even ten thousand yuan per piece.

Scrolling through the comments, one even mentioned that he bought a Primal Star Apple for 12,000 Star Coins.

Lin Xiaoqian gasped in shock at the price and quickly told Jiang Shuang about it: "Sister Shuang, did you know? An apple from a primitive star can actually sell for 12,000 interstellar coins!"

Jiang Shuang's eyes widened in disbelief: "So expensive? No wonder Old John bought us such expensive quantum computers!"

Once bitten, twice shy. Although I suffered a loss this time, I successfully bought the quantum computer and learned about the precious value of the Primal Star Fruit in this interstellar world.

Lin Xiaoqian said regretfully, "I definitely won't be in such a hurry next time. I'll do more research first."

Her six gold bricks... her heart is bleeding.

Jiang Shuang quickly comforted her, "It's okay. It's normal to not know anything when you first arrive in a strange world. Now that we have a quantum computer, it's much easier to find information."

At that moment, on one side of the square, a huge virtual screen was playing an advertisement:

The new medical pod developed by Deyal Technology is about to go on sale.

Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang were drawn to the advertisement.

The advertisement detailed the advanced functions of the medical pod, which can quickly cure a variety of diseases, including some intractable illnesses in the original world.

Lin Xiaoqian exclaimed, "This medical pod is amazing! If we could buy it and bring it back, it would definitely save many lives."

Jiang Shuang exclaimed in the same amazement, "Yes!"

The advertisement played for a while before revealing the price: 10 billion interstellar coins.

Lin Xiaoqian gasped, "My God, 10 billion interstellar coins! That's way too expensive."

Jiang Shuang thought for a moment and said, "Don't rush. Didn't we bring several baskets of fruit? Let's go back and see if there's anything else we brought that we can sell."

Lin Xiaoqian nodded: "Let's go back and finish the system tasks first."

The two stopped paying attention to the advertisement for the medical pod and went back to the shop to prepare braised chicken.

First, prepare the ingredients. Chicken thigh meat is the first choice for making braised chicken, as it has more meat and a better texture. Blanch the chicken thigh meat to remove the blood foam.

Mushrooms, potatoes, and green and red bell peppers are essential side dishes for braised chicken. They not only enrich the flavor of the braised chicken but also make it look more appetizing with its vibrant colors.

Mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, and soybean paste in the correct proportions; this sauce is delicious even for leather shoes.

Heat oil in a wok, add rock sugar, and stir-fry over low heat until the rock sugar turns a dark reddish-brown color. Add the chicken and stir-fry until it is coated with the sauce. Then add the prepared sauce, ginger, and garlic, and stir-fry over high heat until the sauce is fragrant. Finally, add hot water.

The key to making braised chicken is the braising process. The chicken should be transferred to a clay pot, and after the water boils, add the shiitake mushrooms and simmer over medium heat for ten minutes. Then add the potato chunks, cover the pot again, and simmer for another ten minutes. Finally, add the green and red bell peppers, reduce the sauce over high heat, and it's done.

Looking at the finished braised chicken, its color was enticing and its aroma irresistible, Jiang Shuang couldn't help but swallow hard.

Lin Xiaoqian said with a smile, "Sister Shuang, don't just stand there, let's eat first."

Jiang Shuang quickly went to serve the rice.

The two sat in the shop, each enjoying a serving of braised chicken.

The chicken is tender and juicy, bursting with savory flavor with every bite.

The side dishes perfectly absorbed the savory flavor of the chicken and the richness of the broth. The mellow shiitake mushrooms blended seamlessly with the soft and tender potatoes, while the refreshing and slightly spicy green and red peppers added a unique flavor to the dish.

Each grain of rice, soaked in the broth, is plump and full of the essence of the braised chicken.

Every bite of rice is infused with a rich, savory aroma and a hint of spiciness, making it incredibly appetizing.

Lin Xiaoqian shoveled mouthfuls of rice into her mouth and said with satisfaction, "This rice is a perfect match with the braised chicken!"

As Jiang Shuang ate, she exclaimed, "Xiao Qian, your braised chicken is absolutely amazing! I feel like I could eat it forever."

To be honest, after a few days of training and eating in the military canteen, her taste buds had become quite discerning thanks to Xiao Qian's cooking.

The two chatted and laughed, and soon finished their braised chicken and rice.
