"Your Highness, where do you want to go?"

After Qi Lian got on the Frisbee, she was questioned by the servant she called to pick her up temporarily. She sat by the window, thought for a while, and then said: "Just wander around in the sky. You can go wherever you want, Just wander around the city."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"By the way, drive slowly. Take me back to the apartment in two hours." After speaking, Qi Lian put on the earphones.

Does she have entertainment today?

In fact, there is no such thing.It's just that if she continues to stay in the apartment, she suspects that Jiang Ran won't even leave the room.

The Frisbee bounced a few times and bounced into the air. There are tall buildings everywhere. These buildings directly touching the clouds are indispensable modules of modern cities. They are neat and uniform, so they also reveal a well-planned beauty.

The driver can see these beautiful scenery, but he finds it very strange.

His Highness obviously couldn't see it, so why did he have to fly her in the sky for two hours like sightseeing?

Giving Jiang Ran a buffer time, when Qi Lian returned home, he thought he would face a calm Jiang Ran, but in fact, there was no one at home.

Jiang Ran went out.

Realizing that he had a budding relationship with Qi Lian, Jiang Ran's heart was in a mess.She thought for a long time at home and told herself that she should cut off the bud, but she was still bored, so she put on a mask and went out to relax.

The streets are winding, green plants, traffic flow, orderly storefronts, and many people.

Speaking of which, this is the first time she has been on the street since she came to this era.

Walking aimlessly in the commercial center next to the community, Jiang Ran suddenly thought of those storefronts that seemed to be no different from those in the 21st century.

She just came here before, and she was not familiar with everything here. To avoid revealing her secrets, she never went out. After absorbing the memory of the original owner, she gradually accepted the fact that she wanted to live here, and she found that the Star Network can satisfy her everything. Shopping needs, so she didn't go out for shopping, and she married Qi Lian and became a half-celebrity, so it was even more difficult to go shopping on the street.Every day, I go to school as soon as I go out, and I go back home as soon as I leave school, so that now is the first time I go to the street.

Even in the interstellar era, the commercial district is still so lively, people come and go, there are couples, adults with children, people with big bags and small bags everywhere on the street, and hawkers selling interesting gadgets on the street , Once a clown passed by Jiang Ran and gave her a balloon.

A giant, heart-shaped balloon.

Jiang Ran didn't like this kind of thing before, but this time she didn't know why she took it.Holding the balloon and walking for a while, without any warning, the thread of the balloon broke. Jiang Ran walked a few steps before realizing that she was standing in the square, looking up at the pink rose that was gradually rising into the sky. His expression changed from stunned to disappointed.

Look, God is telling you that you can't catch it.

How could she catch someone like Qi Lian?

Time seemed to have stood still. Jiang Ran stood in the sun, but her whole body exuded a gloomy atmosphere. She just looked at it for a while, then walked a few steps, and threw the thin thread left in her hand on the sweeping robot before.

The line was sucked away in an instant, like the balloon that was no longer visible in the sky, and disappeared completely.

The way she looked up just now was secretly photographed by a photographer on the other side of the square.

In fact, she is wearing a mask, which is generally not a good target for photographers looking for material.But the scene just now made the photographer unable to restrain himself from snapping one after another.

It rained yesterday, and today is sunny again. Under the bright sunshine, the tall girl looked up at the sky, but there was an indelible gloom around her, like an angel that just fell from the sky.

Most of her face is invisible, only her eyes are exposed, her eyes are taupe, and they will become golden in the sun, they are a pair of eyes that complement the sun, but they can't see at this time Instead of a slightly bright expression, it looks particularly gloomy. I don't know what kind of sad things the owner of the eyes is thinking of.

After successfully taking this photo, the photographer Qiu Xiu sighed in admiration. He wanted to go up to get the right to publish this photo, but also wanted to hurry up and take two more photos. The previous gloom is completely different from the warm feeling.

The girl didn't know why she wasn't sad any more. Although she didn't have a smile on her face, the gloom disappeared. In this way, her eyes seemed to be filled with sunlight, which made people feel scorching hot at a glance.

It was completely different from the feeling just now.Qiu Xiu immediately froze, looking at the girl under the camera who was as bright as the sun itself, speechless.

But when she finally realized what wonderful material this was, the girl in her sight disappeared. She was anxious. If she didn't get her consent, this work could not be published. She just wanted to run over to look for it, but here was blocked by someone.

"Ma'am, can we have a look at your camera?"

Standing in front of her was an extremely ordinary man at a glance. Qiu Xiu's camera would never be aimed at this type of person. She showed a puzzled expression, and at the same time tightly grasped her camera: "Do you want to do what?"

"It's not a question of what I want to do, but a question of what you did just now. Sorry, my wife can't have photos left outside."

The man said sorry to her politely, but he took the camera away neatly and took out the memory card inside.Qiu Xiu became angry for a moment: "You are embezzling citizens' property."

"Then you are still violating citizens' privacy."

The man's counterattack made Qiu Xiu dumb.

"Money from the memory card." The man unquestionably gave her some money, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

"But I still have many other photos in it." The man ran very fast, Qiu Xiu couldn't catch him, and cried out in a broken voice.

After strangling Germinal to death, Jiang Ran adjusted her mood and really started shopping around. She bought a few clothes, which was considered to have saved the wardrobe occupied by the original owner's girly style, and then stood in front of a shop window in a daze.

It is uniform-style clothing.

There are various military uniforms, pilot uniforms, and other clothing. It seems that this era is much more open, and yes, this is the Federation.

She had thought that Qi Lian was very suitable for wearing uniforms before, and she had secretly imagined how Qi Lian would look in military uniform, but no matter how much she imagined, it was still not as real as seeing Qi Lian wear it once, right?

Forget it, what do you think about so much?Could it be that Qi Lian will wear it when you buy it back?Besides, if she really looks good in clothes, aren't you afraid to like her a little more?

Jiang Ran shook his head mockingly, and walked past the window.

He bought a lot of things, and even went to the supermarket. When Jiang Ran returned home, it was already the beginning of the night.There are a lot of ingredients in this era, but there is only a pitiful small area left for food in the supermarket. Instead, the shelf of nutrient solution occupies a large space, and there are nutrient solutions of various flavors on it.

In fact, some flavors are delicious.Sometimes, Jiang Ran thinks they are like juice, but how can juice be eaten as a meal?The war era of shortage of supplies has passed, but the fault of food culture has caused people to have not yet escaped from the era of nutrient solution. However, Jiang Ran has also noticed that there are still restaurants on the street, but there are not many stores, and the customer flow is not satisfactory .

Jiang Ran chose a restaurant that seemed to have the best business and went in for dinner, and then had a clearer understanding of the catering of this era.

There is a lot of waste waiting to be done, and the road ahead is long.She suddenly felt that it would be a crime if she hadn't done anything in this area for the past three years.

Jiang Ran was actually very puzzled. She had tasted the food at Qilian Manor, and it was obviously very good, which meant that the culinary skills had not been completely cut off, but why didn't those royal chefs come out to open restaurants?Also, she doesn't believe that the Federation doesn't have good cooks.

How can the top class of the pyramid not pay attention to the enjoyment of food?

"Qi Lian, I want to ask you something."

This matter was so strange, Jiang Ran couldn't hold back, and went to ask Qi Lian.She believes that maybe others don't know the reasons for the stagnation of the catering industry, but Qi Lian should know.

Because she is also the kind of person at the top of the pyramid, and she is at the top.

After all, she could have inherited the throne of the empire.

Yes, "could have been".Jiang Ran actually understands that although her nominal wife is still the crown prince of the empire, the possibility of this crown prince inheriting the throne is very slim.The reason is very simple, can a blind man be king?Can she handle national affairs independently?

she can't.And if the monarch is not independent, then there will be dependence on his close ministers, and she will be easily deceived and controlled, so she cannot be a king.

Besides, whose crown prince will be sent to another country as a proton?

Jiang Ran knew this early in the morning, but she just couldn't bear to expose it.However, in fact, Qi Lian himself knows it too, right?Seeing how she usually stays at home and doesn't care about anything, I know that she probably gave up too.

"You said."

Qi Lian had just finished lecturing to her. He was packing up his pens and papers, but stopped when he heard the words. Jiang Ran asked, "Why is the catering industry in the Federation stagnant? There should be good chefs in the Federation, right? Why don't they What about promoting cooking?"

Qi Lian was not surprised that she would ask this. In fact, with Jiang Ran's proficiency in cooking, it was beyond Qi Lian's expectation that he could delay asking her until now.

"Because of the Zerg."

"What does this have to do with the Zerg?"

"Of course it's related. Zerg means war, and war means energy consumption. You have never been on a battlefield, so you don't know how much material war will consume. This includes not only guns and ammunition, but also food. We every A war with the Zerg broke out every few decades. The short war lasted for two or three years, and the longest one lasted for 14 years. It seems that peace has been restored, but our two countries are still consciously controlling the food consumption of residents."

Qi Lian explained: "That's why senior chefs rarely appear in the public eye. And there are not many senior chefs now. To be more realistic, they only serve a few people, so you don't see chefs who promote their cooking skills." .”

Jiang Ran disagreed: "I see that there are plenty of ingredients on Xingwang.com, and there are often news that there are too many ingredients for the nutrient solution. The food should be enough, right?"

When she mentioned this, Qi Lian nodded: "Indeed. So the policy of suppressing catering was actually implemented a few years ago. Hasn't it changed a lot in the past two years? If I remember correctly, the empire recently established a catering policy. The association is probably about to start introducing culinary skills to the public."

Qi Lian's words made Jiang Ran's eyes light up. She originally heard that Guo Jia was still worried that her plan would fail after curbing food consumption, but the information revealed from Qi Lian's words was that the food and beverage The industry will recover.

In other words, she doesn't need to worry about being harmonized?

"Then if you open a restaurant in the Federation now, will it still be suppressed?"

Jiang Ran asked inquisitively.

"It should not be possible now. In fact, restaurants have always existed, but they can't survive. Haven't you noticed that ordinary people have already adapted to nutrient solution. For 200 years, nutrient solution has become the first choice of most people. , so now, the biggest obstacle in the catering industry is not the upper class, but the middle and lower class."

Qi Lian usually doesn't pay attention to such small things, but when Jiang Ran asked, she was able to say a few words. After she finished explaining, she suddenly thought of a question: "Do you want to enter the catering industry?"

Jiang Ran nodded, and said calmly: "I have this plan. I want to cook for more people!" After she finished speaking, Qi Lian's smile disappeared suddenly, and she felt a little upset: " What's the matter? Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble during our marriage, and I will open it after we divorce. "

These are also things that have been determined early on.

Qi Lian's complexion is not good, Jiang Ran is going to open a restaurant?Want to cook for more people?

Thinking of this possibility, Qi Lian felt vaguely uncomfortable: "This is not good."

Jiang Ran didn't expect her to say that, and in an instant, his heart sank like lead.

Sure enough, you still look down on the chef, right?Do you think it's embarrassing for her to go out and open a restaurant?Who is that person who eats like a food-protecting puppy with a bowl at home every day?

Jiang Ran narrowed his eyes and looked at her: "Qi Lian, do you dislike me?"

Qi Lian could hear her displeasure, and didn't explain it for a while. It was only now that she realized that she was so possessive.

Actually, because Jiang Ran's cooking is delicious, you don't want others to taste her cooking?

Jiang Ran misunderstood, she thought Qi Lian was really prejudiced against her profession.

Sure enough, a bastard from a monarchy country dares to look at various industries with colored glasses!Perhaps in Qi Lian's view, chefs are servants who are only assigned to cook for their royal family, right?
