Chapter 23: The Food of the Future
No one paid attention to Xia Zhentian's mood of watching such a piece of fat fly away from his eyes, Xia Lin, under the guidance of Yu Yang, put everything into his storage warehouse, and then happily followed Yu Yang and Priest Bu out of the house.
The two of them originally trained in the jungle, but it was only because of this incident of the Xia family that Yu Yang was temporarily called over.
Now that it has come out, it is just time for Panyu City to replenish the supplies.
Although virtual shopping has long replaced physical shopping in many cases, shopping malls and stores still exist.
After all, there are times when things are not suitable for buying directly on the virtual network.
However, since Yu Yang and Stepmaster went out with Charlene, who knew nothing about the world like a blank sheet of paper, it was naturally impossible for them to run to buy some "high-risk" things, but with a "scattered" mentality, they popularized some basic common sense to Charlene while walking.
Although Charlene is unfamiliar with this world, after all, she still has some memories of the original owner in her mind, and she is not an idiot even if she is simple, so she naturally accepts new things quickly.
Seeing that Charlene was not only able to quickly accept what the two people handed to her, but also able to draw inferences from each other, Yu Yang's face finally looked a little better.
Anyway, even if she has amnesia now, there are still some things in her bones, and as long as she is guided, she will be able to quickly integrate them.
In this way, he doesn't have to worry that Charlene will always be so simple, and he won't know that he will be sold stupidly when the time comes.
Unconsciously, Yu Yang had already brought himself into the position of half of Charlene's parents.
As the three of them passed by a restaurant, the priest saw that it was almost time to eat, so they walked in.
While curiously looking at the environment in the restaurant, Charlene asked in confusion, "Didn't you say that everyone usually consumes nutrients, so what is sold in this restaurant?" ”
When Priest Bu and Yu Yang heard this, they glanced at Charlene a little strangely, "Have you never eaten anything other than nutrients?" ”
Charlene blinked, "Huh? ”
I saw Charlene's stupid half-open mouth, dumbfounded, "Huh? After a sigh, and then looked at the two of them with puzzlement, the priest couldn't help but smile and stepped forward and pinched Charlene's little face.
It's so cute!
"Don't ...... much" (I don't know)
didn't have time to avoid the clutches of the stepmaster, and after Charlene reacted, she could only say something vaguely under the ** of the stepmaster.
Seeing that Charlene's originally somewhat pale little face was flushed with pink luster after being taken by the priest, Yu Yang frowned slightly.
"Ha, it's our negligence that we forgot that Xiao Lin doesn't remember the past."
Finally, after a handful of addictions, the priest calmly withdrew his hand, and regained his appearance of a handsome and noble son, as if the person who looked like "strange Shu Xiao" to Charlene just now never existed.
He had long been accustomed to the virtue of the priest, Yu Yang didn't pay attention to his friend at all, but thought about it slightly, and said concisely to Charlene.
"Although most of the xenoplants are inedible, there are still some harmless xenoplants that can be eaten after treatment. It's just that only a small number of people can afford to consume those alien plants because they are not high in quantity or yield. And most of the exotic beast meat is still edible. However, because the meat of low-level alien beasts is sour, astringent, dry and hard, it is difficult to eat, and the more good the meat, the more difficult it is to hunt. ”
However, it is not that there are no artificially cultivated plants, but things such as artificially cultivated ancient cabbage and ancient tomatoes are not only expensive, but also very small in quantity, and only a very few nobles can eat them.
And after all, those things are cultivated with petri dishes and culture soil, and the taste is not as good as that of real ancient crops.
As for artificial food, there are also artificial foods, and the price is relatively much cheaper than mutant plants and mutant animal meat, but although there is not much difference in nutritional value, there is almost no taste, so it is not very popular.
Therefore, the food of mutant plants and mutant beasts, as well as ancient plants, are collectively referred to as "natural food", and artificial food and nutrient solution without taste are of course artificial food.
"So people generally feed on nutrients."
Charlene blinked, tilted her little head and thought for a moment, and then understood.
To put it simply, nutrients are universal foods. Artificial plants and meat are concoctive foods, while heterobotanical and exotic animal meat are high-grade foods. As for the "ancient plant species", they are rare foods.
It's like the difference between white rice porridge and sea cucumber and abalone in the previous life. Well, maybe a snack?
Ordinary people can't afford to eat food, but they can live by relying on nutrients, and when they want to eat food, they can buy artificial food to satisfy their cravings, but it's a little more troublesome to do.
Wealthy families can eat alien plants and exotic beast meat as their main food, and occasionally taste ancient food if they are extravagant, as long as they can afford it.
And although it is said that the meat of alien plants and alien beasts is more precious, but in fact, it is just because of the control of these foods among the nobles, in fact, a small family like the Xia family is usually food-based, and only when it is inconvenient or the conditions do not allow, they will drink nutrients.
"Then why did the medical machine still let me drink nutrients before?" Charlene glared at the two with some indignation.
When she opened her eyes, she was deceived into drinking such a tube of strange-tasting nutrients, which made her think that the people of this world were so pitiful that they could only live on nutrients.
Whoever puts this on him probably won't be happy.
It's a shame that when she heard the "aunt" say that she had prepared a dust washing banquet for the two people in front of her, she was still there wondering, what should be used for this banquet, is it to put various types and flavors of nutrients on the table?
"Ahaha......" the priest snorted, did he want him to sue her that it was a punishment for her?
If it weren't for the fact that she really had amnesia, and now that she had fallen into someone's trap, it is estimated that she would not only have to drink nutrients today, but she would have been deprived of the right to eat food for a long time to come.
After all, the food in this world is very precious, and only the supernatural have the qualifications to use natural food. Because the supernatural can draw energy from these foods, and the average person eats natural food, which is a big waste.
"That nutrient is good for your body." Yu Yang glanced at the priest and said expressionlessly.
"Really?" Charlene looked suspicious.
"Of course, you must know that it is the No. 0537 nutrient solution developed by the Florin Company, each tube is very valuable, and it is specially developed for the supernatural who have too much depletion of ability......"
