Chapter 6: I feel like throwing up
"Don't be too impressed, if you weren't standing there as bait, I wouldn't have been able to stick an iron rod into a scavenging rat so easily." Lan Jiao pretended to be relaxed and said.
Milley knew that she was only saying this to make herself feel a little bit of nourishment.
It wasn't about catching scavengers at all, it was about saving her own life......
"Lan Jiao, why are you so good to me?" Milley asked earnestly.
That's what he couldn't figure out.
Lan Jiao raised her face slightly, and seemed to think about Milai's question quite seriously.
Then he said, "Probably because the first time I saw you, I thought you weren't some heinous criminal." ”
That's right.
What evil can a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy like Milley, with a soft appearance and a simple personality, do?
Most of the time he was framed like the original owner of his body.
The two of them can be regarded as sympathy.
That's why Lan Jiao helped Milai at the beginning and gave Milai a piece of life-saving bread.
But these gifts are not given in vain.
In fact, Lan Jiao did this because of her own selfishness.
At that time, she was in the strange world and unfamiliar environment of Junk Star, surrounded by fierce and criminal exiles, aborigines who were wary of exiled criminals, and resident soldiers who watched over them.
So when she saw Milley, a harmless 'little animal', she saved him and found a safe company for herself.
At least in this way, in the face of the cold outside world, the psychology can have a little bit of softness and warmth.
Milai, who didn't know that he was raised as a picked up pet, was moved by Lan Jiao's words at this time.
"And ...... You're good-looking~" Lan Jiao looked at Milai with a smile and said.
Even though he was dirty, those beautiful eyes still made Lan Jiao like it at a glance.
Just a piece of moldy bread can take a soft and beautiful 'pet', it's worth it!
Milley: "......"
…
Trash Star 101, District 9.
The news that one of the exiled criminals could make delicious food for the most common scavenging rats on the Junk Star was like a bird with wings and flew everywhere.
In just half a month, Lan Jiao's rat meat teppanyaki became famous in the entire ninth district!
When it comes to the special scavenging rat meat strips, as long as you have tasted it, you will give a thumbs up and blow it to the sky.
For the food made by the exiled criminal, everyone talked about only two words, delicious!
But the aromatic and spicy rat meat teppanyaki is limited after all.
Lan Jiao only did it three times, and then announced that there was a lack of seasoning, and she couldn't make it in the future.
This made the intestines of many garrison soldiers who had not eaten rat meat teppanyaki turn green!
Why didn't they learn to be smarter and have a good relationship with Lan Jiao, an exiled criminal who could make delicious food?
No matter how bad it is, learn from others to pay a 'deposit' first and line up to make an appointment.
And the aborigines of the ninth district were really happy and sad when they heard the news.
I am happy that I finally don't have to endure the torture of the smell of meat, and the pain can no longer smell the fragrance of those gluttonous people.
Although there were only three short transactions, it also made Lan Jiao wake up with a smile when she dreamed.
There were more than a hundred bottles of low-grade nutrients in the house, not counting the ones she had given to Milley.
These things are enough for her and Mirai to be safe for a while on the junk planet without worrying about food.
After satisfying the basic food and clothing, a new pursuit followed.
For Lan Jiao, although these low-grade nutrients will not make her starve to death, the taste is really difficult for her, a foodie, to accept.
This sticky, coarse-tasting nutrient synthesizer doesn't care about how the product tastes after satisfying the basic nutrients needed by the human body.
If the things picked up in the garbage heap cannot be eaten, then the taste of low-grade nutrients is not much better, and it tastes similar to drinking medicine, which is simply a torture for the palate.
No matter what world it is, the poor are far greater than the rich in the overall base, and because nutrients are cheap, they have become the daily rations of most people in the entire interstellar world.
There are only two companies that make nutrients in the whole interstellar industry, and Glory and Jinhe.
Therefore, these nutrients with a very poor taste are not sold at all, and the sales volume can even be said to be in short supply.
They don't need to think about consumer feelings at all.
Although she is on the junk star and has enough low-level nutrients to fill her stomach, Lan Jiao still wants to improve her food as much as possible.
Of course, this is only the first step.
The original body was exiled to the garbage star on the charge of being a murderer, but since she came, it was impossible for her to stay here for the rest of her life.
Junk Star is too poor and her life is too hard, even if she will never be able to return to her original world, she will have to find a comfortable place to spend her days in the future.
…
Trash Star 101, Sector 9 Border.
There are no mountains of garbage here, but instead barren grass as far as the eye can see.
Under the scorching sun for many years, most of the plants on the garbage star are withered yellow, just like this abandoned planet.
In such a severe environment, there are still vigorous and tenacious animals and plants to survive.
In addition to the scavenging rats that occupy the mountains of garbage and live on garbage.
Insects, birds, and even low-level star beasts with larger bodies also exist in the barren grass.
In short, on this garbage star, there is also a complete food chain.
Lan Jiao carefully pushed aside the grass and patiently searched for various insects in the grass.
Whether it was a fat body or a long-legged jump, she tried her best to catch it, and put it into two separate bottles.
"Is this really edible?" Behind Lan Jiao, Milai learned from Lan Jiao's appearance, and while catching insects with her, he couldn't help but question his soul.
He was so disgusted when he saw the ugly appearance of those insects, he couldn't imagine that after this kind of thing was made into food, he could hold back the fear in his heart and be able to swallow it.
"You can eat it, make sure you eat one and think two, and eat two and think one pot." Lan Jiao said casually, not delaying the speed of her subordinates catching insects at all.
Milai was stimulated by Lan Jiao's words, and his stomach suddenly rolled, and he wanted to vomit a little.
His fragile stomach twitched a few times, but he didn't vomit it out.
During this time, with the low-level nutrients that Lan Jiao gave him, he finally didn't have to go hungry anymore, such a day was actually okay for him now, I really don't know why Lan Jiao still had to make some strange things to eat......
"The conditions are limited, there is no way, I can only find some insects to improvise, and if there are better ingredients in the future, I will invite you to a big meal!"
