Interstellar travel, a beloved companion, a magnificent and turbulent otherworld.

Dongfang Yu patiently and gently answered her questions: "The initial environment wasn't so harsh. A third of the soil wasn't severely eroded. With the purification of the purifiers, plant growers can cultivate natural food." He paused, then continued:

"Later, as time went by, the environment became worse and worse. In addition, after wars with the Zerg, their bodies, whether they decayed naturally or were incinerated, emitted a substance that accelerated environmental degradation. For thousands of years, interstellar people have been constantly adapting and exploring and developing through trial and error."

Suddenly, a deep sorrow filled his clear voice: "It's not just the environment that has changed, but also the culture and the break in the transmission of tradition. This led to the entire interstellar space being plunged into a dark period of nearly several hundred years at the beginning."

At that time, natural disasters and man-made calamities were frequent, and wars were constant. Everything happened so suddenly that we were forced to accept and adapt to various new environments before we could even prepare for it.

Mo Li listened more attentively and adjusted her posture. Although she wasn't showing yet, she still felt slightly uncomfortable sitting for a long time, so she simply nestled softly in Dongfang Yu's arms.

He was very cooperative with this, and naturally assisted her to ensure she was very comfortable before continuing:

"Over the past thousand years, as certain conditions have gradually matured, other areas of exploration and research have begun, with a greater focus on the nurturing of natural life, the surge of spiritual power, and of course, natural food has also become particularly important."

She suddenly realized something: "The Beigong family must have been influenced by the increasing number of food live streams on the interstellar network, and they want to expand the influence of their major families through this."

"Yes, that's a major reason."

"Heh, the timing is pretty good. The other reason is self-evident. I think the hype will only increase from here on out, because I also saw another thing: they invited a lot of top food bloggers and top celebrities to participate in this tasting event they organized, and it will be broadcast live across the entire StarNet."

......

As the most popular celebrity right now, Mo Li naturally received an invitation to the tasting event. She received a handwritten invitation in black with gold foil stamping, the highest standard.

Three days before the tasting event began, the robot butler from the Beigong family personally delivered the food to their door, along with a deluxe gift package of synthetic food.

In addition, there were various vegetables and fruits picked from the Beigong family's planting base that morning, as well as freshly processed meat, which were snacks suitable for her to eat now to pass the time.

Since transmigrating to interstellar space, Mo Li has noticed the scarcity of snacks in this world. This is not hard to understand, since natural ingredients are so rare, where would there be any left to serve as raw materials for snacks?

She didn't take it to heart. The main thing was that she really didn't lack snacks. Not to mention the endless stock in her own space, there was also the studious and incredibly hardworking Butterfly Dance. The space had no shortage of naturally grown food, with raw materials coming in endlessly and inexhaustibly.

There are also so many automated factories that produce snacks, countless batches of which have been made. They are clean, hygienic, and healthy, and we can't possibly finish them all.

Mo Li had already planned that once Guan Yunzhou finished building their home planet, and the natural ingredients produced there were sold, her stockpile of goods in her space would have a legitimate purpose.

and so……

From the very first moment she began preparing to challenge the Beigong family in a contest, her chances of winning were 100%.

Right now?

Although there weren't many varieties, it was free, so he thanked them with a smile and told his robot butler, Kyle, to accept them all.

Then he said to the robot butler of the Beigong family, "Thank you, we will attend on time."

Back in the living room, sitting on the sofa, she looked with a hint of curiosity at the boxes and boxes of so-called luxury gift packs of synthetic food placed in front of her.

"Ah Yu, are you curious? Which box do you think we should open first?"

"Either is fine, Ali, you decide, I'll open it."

Mo Li didn't deliberately consider it, but instead pointed to the nearest box, and then the boxes were opened one by one, revealing the naturally synthesized food inside.

In summary, they can be divided into many categories, including various sausages, meats, vegetables, fruits, cream, beverages, snacks, etc.

Because these are among the first batches of synthetic foods developed, there aren't many varieties in each category yet. The categories that make up the majority are snacks, cakes, cookies, sausages, candies, jellies, potato chips, dried meat, dried fruit, egg yolk pastries, egg rolls, candied fruit, etc.

Mo Li picked up a bag of potato chips, opened it, took out a chip, and just as she took a small bite, the bag of chips and the chip she had bitten off were taken away by Dongfang Yu beside her.

“It’s not healthy.”

She didn't say anything, but carefully chewed and savored the small potato chip in her mouth, her expression indifferent. After a while, she gave a fair evaluation: "So-so." Turning to Dongfang Yu, she said, "Try it, and then compare it."

After saying that, he took out a bag of original flavor potato chips from his own spatial button and gave it to him.

"These were exchanged on a garbage planet, and there are still many more."

This also gave her a clearer understanding of interstellar food. You really shouldn't use your Earthly tongue to taste and judge it, otherwise you'll feel a slight sense of frustration.

"Several thousand years ago, they must have relied on nutrient supplements, right?"

Dongfang Yu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this; indeed, the change in topic from her question was far too abrupt.

"That's true, and it's still true now. Natural ingredients are scarce and expensive, making it impossible for ordinary interstellar people to afford such consumption."

Mo Li knew there was another part he hadn't mentioned: because of its scarcity, it was naturally prioritized for high-level personnel, and the best quality supplies were quickly absorbed internally.

"It's such a shame we can't enjoy delicious food. Once our planetary home is built, we'll be able to properly save the taste buds of our interstellar people."

"Click..."

While listening attentively to her speech, Dongfang Yu obediently became a taste tester.

"How is it? The taste is still different, isn't it?"

He nodded.

Mo Li smiled and said, "Our advantages are unmatched by the Beigong family."

Seeing her so confident and smiling, a soft light appeared in Dongfang Gangyu's eyes.

"I'll try the rest. Ali can just stay here with me."

Mo Li agrees with this:

"Okay, just pick a few that you think are good to try. You can try the others later. This is actually quite useless. It's just for passing the time. It has no nutritional value at all, and of course, there are no harmful substances either."
