Chapter 421 Self-produced and Self-sold
This seemingly naive and innocent alien gave her so much; after learning she was pregnant, he pulled out a lot of good things.
Her warmth moved the young couple to tears. They never expected there to be such an alien as her. She was so kind; they couldn't let Nanling down! They decided to take her shopping!
Morse drove the superpowered vehicle to the food street, and Vivian exclaimed in surprise when she saw the vehicle.
Then, realizing her lapse in composure, she smiled sheepishly and said, "It's been so long since I've seen such an antique. I'm a little excited to see it for the first time."
Morse: ...
His cool and stylish off-road vehicle was actually considered an old relic by these alien races.
Ha, Morse was annoyed, but he didn't drive the car into the air, since there was a pregnant zombie inside.
The food street is usually bustling, but today, after hearing that the alien race was heading this way, everyone controlled their tempers and did not show their usual high level of civility in front of the outsiders.
Vivian and Vincent were overwhelmed by the sheer amount of food they saw when they arrived at the food street. How could there be so much of this?! These dishes could all sell for exorbitant prices!
What was that entire fruit shop?! They'd never even seen many of the species there before!
Vivian stared at the fruits. She only recognized a few of them. The zombie pregnant woman was named Lin Ran. Seeing Vivian's curiosity, she stood at the entrance of the fruit shop and said, "What do you want? I'll buy it for you."
Vivian was touched, but felt it was too much of a expense for her. Lin Ran smiled happily, "No, no, Captain Zheng Mu just told me that the base will reimburse me for today's expenses."
Hearing this, Vivian relaxed a lot. Thinking of the gifts they brought for Lu Yize and the others, she accepted their hospitality with peace of mind.
She pointed curiously to one of the fruits and asked, "What is this? I... I've never eaten it before."
Lin Ran was surprised, but he didn't show it on his face. "These are called grapes. They come in bunches. You can pick them off one by one, peel them, and eat them. Oh, some strange beasts don't like peeling them. Some people also like to use them to make wine, which tastes pretty good."
“Grapes?” Vivian repeated.
Seeing Vivian and Vincent both swallow, Lin Ran suddenly remembered, "Hey? Aren't these two beast-forms foxes? Is that why they're so eager to eat grapes?"
Lin Ran bought a bunch of grapes and even peeled one to feed Vivian. The moment the grape entered her mouth, Vivian's face lit up with delight—it was sweet and sour! So delicious!
Vincent, at Lin Ran's enthusiastic invitation, stepped forward and ate a grape. No wonder he comes from a distinguished family; even the way he peeled the grape was a delight to watch.
Weiwei likes sweet flavors, while Vincent prefers spicy ones. However, they both like this fruit, and he plans to buy all the grapes from this fruit shop when he goes back to take them back to his relatives and friends.
Vincent suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Lu Yize, "How much grapes do you produce?"
Lu Yize asked Chen Ping to show them some of their plantations. "It seems that, after supplying the base, there should be a considerable surplus."
"so much?!"
Vivian lifted her skirt and went to Vincent's side, looking on with envy. Wouldn't that mean they could place orders directly with them from now on?
"So, will we be able to order a lot of grapes in the future?" Vivian asked expectantly. With so many channels open, ordering and delivering them to the main star wouldn't be difficult.
Lu Yize didn't answer for the moment, but Lin Ran immediately understood their leader's meaning and pulled Vivian aside, saying, "There's so much fruit here, don't just focus on the grapes, try them all, you might find something you like even more!"
Although Vivian's family was well-off, there were too few places in the entire Federation where fruit could be grown. No, it should be said that there were too few seeds in the entire Federation that had not been mutated by superpowers, so she had never eaten many kinds of fruit.
Lin Ran fed Vivian strawberries, blueberries, cantaloupe, watermelon, cherry tomatoes, cherries... everything! Vivian thought they were all incredibly delicious!
Even some of the fruits she'd eaten before weren't as delicious as those sold at this little shop! They even had luxurious fruit platters! And some nearly spoiled fruit on sale!
Do they know that even these fruits that are about to spoil can fetch a high price in the Federation?
Vincent was more thoughtful than Vivian, who was engrossed in appreciating fruit. No wonder there were always some rare fruits being auctioned off in recent years; it seems the Zerg got them from there.
However, because the Zerg cannot establish a communication channel between this planet and the main planet, the fruit is easily damaged when it is brought back to the main planet. Since they need to provide it for their internal families, relatively little of it is sold.
However, since the Zerg did not sell them in large quantities, it means that even if these seeds were taken back, they would be corrupted by supernatural abilities and mutate, making it impossible to grow fruit with this taste.
Vincent guessed that it was probably because their planet's nuclear source had just erupted, so they still had a lot of original seeds that they could plant.
However, these original seeds are becoming increasingly scarce. If the second generation of this fruit is planted, the resulting plant will become a hybrid. Vincent felt it was necessary to remind Lu Yize to be more frugal.
Lu Yize was quite impressed with the alien after hearing his reminder, but he didn't reveal too much to him, only letting him know the number of seeds he had and that they wouldn't be in short supply in the short term.
However, his words gave Lu Yize a great idea. Lu Yize had run a company before the apocalypse, and upon hearing this, he immediately thought of scarcity marketing. He hoped that these fruits and vegetables could earn him a large sum of star coins.
Vivian was almost full just from eating fruit, while Vincent, whose ability level was much higher than Vivian's, could still eat a lot.
Vivian felt incredibly happy here, being able to eat so much fruit. She thought all fruit was delicious!
But just as she thought that, Vivian smelled a strange odor, frowned and took two steps back. Lin Ran was still opening a durian. This durian had a particularly strong smell; people who liked it thought it smelled good, while people who didn't like it thought the smell was a bit strange.
Vivian, who comes from a prestigious family and is very particular about etiquette, knows that covering her nose in front of others is very rude, but this smell is just too unbearable!
Vivian frowned and stepped back to Vincent's side. Neither Vincent nor Vivian had ever seen a durian, let alone eaten one. It smelled strange and looked strange. Eating it always felt like doing something like self-producing and self-consuming.
