Chapter 886 A sumptuous dinner, and the plumber's cranky thoughts

Lin Xue suddenly took out a large number of bells and whistles snacks from the carry-on space, which made Greek and Shui Zhu fall into a sluggish state almost instantly, and those colorful packages were spread all over the table after the eldest lady carried them several times, which was staggering in terms of quantity and variety.

Regardless of the scare of Gorrik and the water droplets, even the few of us were in a serious state of sluggishness, what do you say this is, a pack of spicy strips for five cents, a pack of sour plums for a dollar, a pack of hopping candy for five days, and a pot without labels, strange beans without a production date, puffed food that may have leaked oil, and even a chocolate board with tooth marks......

Lin Xue casually stuffed the chocolate board into my mouth, and then looked at my delicate expression and pretended to bared her teeth fiercely: "What, don't you like Miss Ben?" Isn't it just a bite, and it's not like I haven't tasted it! ”

You see, this "it's not that I haven't tasted" in this context is simply too much to explain, I can hardly imagine any way to not want to be biased in this situation, and in fact in this case thinking bias is the only right way, anyway, everyone present except for the real children is thinking at the same time, Bing Teis is looking at this side with a perverted look, shallow eyes fluttering and touching his teeth, Sandora handed over a disc box with tooth marks, mercury lamp began to bite my head, The mouth was like an angry kitten, and the culprit Lin Xue actually began to continue to take out snacks as if nothing happened.

I want to dare to ask: As a wealthy lady worth hundreds of millions, is it really necessary for you to immerse yourself in these snacks soaked in gutter oil and Sudan dyes?

If Lin Xue told everyone now that she was carrying these things with her to give food aid to Zimbabwe after returning to Earth, I guess everyone would believe it immediately......

But after being familiar with Lin Xue's temperament, I still have to admit that this eldest lady is indeed unconscious enough in some aspects, she is a strange person who dares to drink red wine mixed with soy milk at the family's internal banquet.

"Wow! This, this, and this......" Glick didn't react until almost two or three minutes later, pointing to a large pile of flowers on the table and exclaiming, even the always quiet water droplets Little Lori stared at her in surprise, "What are these things?" It's beautiful! What are these for? ”

We all fell silent for a moment, with a strange look on our faces, complicated and tangled, and my sister was the first to react, and explained to the Glick siblings with a smile: "These are things to eat. ”

Shuizhu blinked, picked up a packet of sour plums and put it in his mouth and bit it hard, then looked at the plastic package that left a tooth mark in distress, and shook his head at us: "That's not right. ”

"You should remove the packaging," I couldn't help but gently press on the water bead hair, help her unpack the bag of sour plum, take out a piece of pulp from it and stuff it into her mouth, "It's very sour, you may not be used to it when you eat it for the first time, be careful of saliva coming out." ”

Shui Zhu stupidly chewed the black pulp that tasted absolutely different from the "gypsum" in his mouth a few times, and the expression on his face suddenly reached out to cover his mouth before he could change, hissing and inhaling the cool air, and it took a long time to recover his strength, but his face brought a look of panic and confusion - this expression was confusing, what kind of evaluation did this make about the food?

The little girl stretched out her hand and pointed to the unpacked sour plum in my hand, pointed to her mouth with one hand, and muttered a lot of things inarticulately, as if to describe the taste of this thing, but she couldn't find the words that could be applied at all. ”

Greek also took apart a packet of potato chips, and the fluffy thing disappeared after a few chews, and Glick was obviously surprised by such a strange food, but it was clear that this did not prevent him from quickly pouring the bag of potato chips into his mouth.

Like a storm and clouds, the Grek siblings quickly swept away these wonderful foods that I am afraid had never appeared in this world, and the discarded bags they made were thrown to Sandora according to the custom, and Sandora was always our trash can when she was away, basically everything she didn't want was stuffed for her to eat, she was more efficient at eliminating garbage than the recycling furnace, of course, these garbage had to be except for those things that I didn't look very hygienic about, and Sandora herself didn't care about anything, But the problem is that she is used to coming and kissing me after she is full, and she can't stand it.

Gorrick and Shui Zhu's reaction to these snacks was really a bit exaggerated, and a handful of jumping candy that had nothing but the sweet saccharin flavor made them exclaim, but Lin Xue touched my arm at this time and whispered: "Actually, they can't know exactly what those things taste like in Lu Dao, and Shui Zhu doesn't even know that the taste of those sour plums before Lu Dao is 'sour', she doesn't have this concept." ”

I glanced at Lin Xue in surprise, and knew that this was something she saw directly with her own strength.

"The human beings in this world have already had physiological degradation, but due to the harsh environment, a certain degree of physiological degradation is also accompanied by other aspects of physical strengthening, so we didn't see it at first, but there is no way to make up for the degradation in some aspects: the taste nerves of the two of them are ten times slower than ordinary people, and the brain has no ability to process complex tastes at all."

Maybe Lin Xue was right, Greek and Shui Zhu didn't know what they were eating, but this did not affect their elation, even if they only had a tenth of their taste compared to normal humans, even if they couldn't accurately distinguish the taste of that large number of things, the two children were still elated: the things in front of them were already supreme delicious, even if they could only experience one-tenth of them.

The abundance of snacks that Lin Xue carried with her and the staggering amount of food in Sandora's personal space were the biggest festival for the Glick siblings tonight, and the two children who had never seen anything like this were all over their faces, and it also saved our family's stomachs: we finally didn't have to eat the compressed organic matter that rustled like chalk with a generous and righteous attitude.

"This is called bread, this is ham sausage, and this is not eaten directly, it is a seasoning...... Well, it's something that makes food more flavorful, I'm afraid you haven't seen it......"

The elder sister patiently introduced the mountains of food in front of them to the Grek siblings, and while teaching them how to match these various foods, Shuizhu's eyes widened with curiosity, watching us use "magical techniques" to process those already wonderful things into even more incredible delicacies, especially the dragon god Maiden Lin's way of eating is the most breathtaking: the girl first stacked the bread slices and various lettuce meat slices and egg salad dressing into a super burger more than a meter high, and then pressed it up and down with both hands......

"Eat something a little harder, it's good for your teeth."

Lynn gave me a cautious look and handed over a pancake as thin as a cicada's wing, which had been a giant burger half a head taller than a mercury lamp, and because of the obvious density problem, it made a sound of gold and iron when placed on the table, and Lilina curiously slashed it on the table, causing a series of sparks to turn my face white.

Is this really good for your teeth?

Eventually, more than half of the super-compressed burgers made by Lin made their way into Sandora's stomach, and the rest was disposed of by Lin herself, and the two of them ate as they ate as if they were splitting up a bunch of grenades.

To be honest, I'm sorry, I was going to use the super compression burger made by Lynn as body armor, and in all fairness, I think it would be fine for that thing to resist a submachine gun within fifty meters, and if she had to work harder just now, maybe those burgers would turn into neutron star matter......

"We've never eaten anything so good, though it tastes weird," Gorrik happily held up a cheap ham sausage, with oil on the corner of his mouth, "Is this the food from the big city?" It's incredible, it's really the most magical place in the world...... Wait a minute, I should give these things to Grandpa Barnard to taste, it is said that he spent some time in Ayutthaya when he was younger, and he must have missed this taste......"

"You don't need to make a special trip," my sister quickly stopped Glick, who was about to get up, "We have prepared a lot of food, and we will send one to him when the time comes." You can take more of these candies and give them to the other children when the time comes. ”

It was a lively dinner, probably the sumniest dinner Gerry and Droplet had ever had, and it had been a long time since there had been a so-called meal in a world where all food was compressed organic matter that tasted like chalk ash, and all drinks were synthetic water with a fishy salty taste. Out of curiosity, I also asked Gorrik for some of the cookies he had received at the party tonight, and the boy didn't want to eat them all at once, leaving half of them to be eaten again tomorrow.

As I guessed, these purported snacks for children are actually the kind of compressed organic matter that tastes like chalk, the only difference is that it has a strange sweetness that I swear by all my discipline is definitely made of chemicals.

The town has entered the deep night, in this world without any entertainment, these lowest-level manual laborers live as if the sun rises and sets in ancient times, because tomorrow they will go to the metal station to continue working, the residents of the town have chosen to go to bed at about eight o'clock every night, and now it is silent outside, in order to save energy, even the street lamps in the town are only three or two on the square, Only fusion reactors from 3,000 kilometers away in the sky are providing the only light of the night in this world with dark red residual heat.

Glick's hut was probably the only place in town where the lights were still on at this time, as there were no adults who had to rest at night, and Glick and Waterdrop didn't have to meet at the metal station early the next morning, and they were like any unsupervised child, always preferring to play late into the night without sleeping.

Well, maybe it needs to be modified, the only one who is really energetic is Greek, the water beads have already yawned and gone to his hut to rest, ** year old girl, it is still easy to get tired.

The Protoss Sliver Five were bored in this environment, so they went to rest elsewhere in the name of taking advantage of Glick's inattention, tore open the spatial crack and went back to the spaceship to play games, and by the way, they also took away a few obedient little girls who had been trained by their sisters, including the most head-catching Lilina and the most delicate mercury lamp. Yanzi also went back, her combat power is only 5, it's okay to lead her to play here during the day, and let her go back to the spaceship at night to make people feel at ease.

Sandora and I were going to spend the night here, and now we were watching Glick enthusiastically show off his collection.

"These are all left by my father, and I don't know what I'm doing with some of them." Grek dragged out several metal boxes from under the large iron box used to hold clothes, some of which were mechanical parts, and some of which were faintly colored "gadgets", which piqued our interest: they didn't look like parts of a spaceship, did they?

My sister picked up a rectangular frame from the strange shapes of the things, and fiddled back and forth a few times but couldn't get the point, but Sandora seemed to have discovered the secret of this little thing, she took the frame, and her fingers just stroked the edge of it, and a pale blue picture suddenly popped out of the center of the frame.

It's a vague image of a person - is this thing a mirror frame?

"How did you get it? I haven't fixed it for a long time! ”

Gorrik exclaimed in surprise.

"It just ran out of energy, and I activated its backup battery." Sandora said with a smile, but I think she should be fooling people, which electronic photo frame have you ever seen that has to be equipped with batteries? She probably used her own energy to charge the photo frame, but this statement was too incredible, so she replaced it with a "spare battery" to deceive children.

Glick nodded happily, fiddling with the metal picture frame, which was probably 720,000 years old, and after confirming that it only stored a bust of unknown Lu Dao, he threw it back into the box in disappointment: "Dad said that this world was not like this a long time ago. ”

I turned my head to look, and Sandora's eyes remained the same, but her eyebrows moved slightly.

"I heard that he is a cranky person, Mr. Barnard said so."

"They all say that," Gorrik shook his head indifferently, "but Daddy is a great man, and of course he's not like a normal worker—even though he's just a plumber, he knows that this world isn't supposed to be like this." You look at these, picture frames, data terminals, projectors, and this ......."

After Gorrik pulled a tough piece of "paper" from the bottom of the box and wiped the stains off it with a damp cloth, what appeared in front of us was a picture!

"There were no painters in the Old Empire, and we don't use this medium to store long-term information," Sandora whispered in an incredulous tone, of course, not letting Gorrik hear it, "This is supposed to be left by the indigenous people before the destruction of the universe, and the material is very special, and the painting paper that can still distinguish colors after 720,000 years shows that their civilization reached an extremely high level at least in the field of materials science before it was destroyed." ”

Sandora roughly judged the level of civilization of the natives of the current Ruined World Realm before the end of the World Realm from the perspective of technique, and my sister and I were attracted by the contents of the "paper".

Despite the dull color and large patches of the pattern, you can still distinguish the clouds, trees, small pools, and even a small animal resting under the tree.

"It's puzzling," Glick muttered, "the painting may be depicting a region, but I think these strange colors might add up to an 'object,' like something like a machine part, just a little bit weird in color and shape." ”

For Glick, nothing in this picture appears in his worldly view, and he sees everything as normal in the face of a completely unexplained "accumulation of colors".

"But I find it very comfortable and I love this...... Daddy too," Glick muttered in a low voice, "I don't understand what this painting is trying to say, but Dad thinks that there must have been such a thing in the world a long, long time ago, and now there are no such things in this world, but Dad feels that in a far away place, he must be able to find something like it." ”

"So he wants to go to the other side of the storm ocean, just to find the new world of his dreams."

My sister said with some sighs.

"There are very few people who think like this, everyone is used to everything in this world, everything is natural," Grek shook his head, "The food synthesizer can always produce food, the matter generator can always make twelve basic materials, and there are never-ending factories in the depths of the big star, which can provide air and energy that will never run out...... But my dad told me and my sister from a young age that the situation was not right. ”

Gorrik's face was worried about his age, "Dad said that this world is too small, very different from the ancient records, many of the terms left from that era now seem so strange, planets, stars, material clouds, the closed layer of the universe, he always recited these strange words in front of my sister and me, I have never seen these words anywhere else, but Dad said that they are all things that have been in the ancient records, and they are part of this world. Dad also said that a long, long time ago, people's food did not actually come out of the machine, but grew directly from the ground, the water should not only flow in the pipes, but should flow in the big tank on the ground, there is only one glowing fusion pile in the sky, every day this fusion pile will rise from one side of the earth and fall from the other side, there should be countless resources in the world and not only metals and various synthesis factories...... But those words sound silly to me, how can you say that food can grow from under the ground? The earth is a layer of metal! ”

Speaking of this, Glick couldn't help but think of something, and said, "But if it was the food that that was pinched by that sister with great strength, maybe it could grow from under the ground." ”

Sando and I looked at each other, and my sister sighed intentionally or unintentionally:

"No matter how much I like to think about it, these things ...... That's an exaggeration for a plumber's knowledge. ”
