Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

Chapter 151 Doomsday World 3

Yuan Yuan looked at the decor of the small restaurant and exclaimed in admiration: "If it weren't for the primeval jungle outside, just looking at this little restaurant of yours, I would have thought that my previous experience was a dream."

She knew that the person who could build such a small restaurant in the primeval forest must be very capable, but she never pried into other people's privacy, and of course, she didn't say much about her own either.

Yuan Yuan and Liao Zhuang talked mostly about the world.

Because the internet has been destroyed, human communication has become inconvenient, and a tribal-like pattern has gradually formed, with people resembling primitive people who have been baptized by modern technology.

They also didn't have a unified currency, and they mostly bartered for what they wanted.

According to Yuan Yuan, in the first few years, humanity was only concerned with struggling to survive, but in recent years it seems that some bigwigs want to reunite humanity and rebuild human civilization.

They possess some well-preserved technological products, such as satellite phones, and even guns. They have also recruited a group of people with special abilities after eating wild animals to work for them.

As they were chatting, Jiang Shuang and Zhuang Damao returned, with Zhuang Damao carrying a crucian carp in his hand.

This crucian carp was different from the ones I usually see; it had wings on both sides of its body, and it was flapping them incessantly.

Liao Zhuang was dumbfounded. The fish had huge wings, almost as long as its body. The key thing was that the fish could actually fly and hover in mid-air. If Zhuang Damao hadn't tied one end of a rope to its gills, it probably would have flown away long ago.

Zhuang Damao had finally managed to catch this fish over a river and wanted to bring it back to show Lin Xiaoqian and the others, to let them see how awesome this new mutated species looked.

Then a woman said, "That's a flying fish! It flies so fast! You guys are amazing to have caught it."

Zhuang Damao and Jiang Shuang looked at the woman dressed in animal skin sitting in front of Liao Zhuang with great curiosity.

Liao Zhuang introduced the two sides to each other, and then asked Yuan Yuan, "This flying fish looks like a crucian carp. Could it be an evolved form of a crucian carp?"

Yuan Yuan nodded and said, "It should be, but unlike crucian carp, flying fish can cure hemorrhoids and diarrhea after eating it."

Jiang Shuang and Zhuang Damao were stunned when they heard this. Evolution? Curing hemorrhoids and diarrhea?

What's going on? Isn't it a mutation?

The two went into the kitchen in silence, leaving Liao Zhuang outside to talk to Yuan Yuan.

Upon seeing Fei Fei in the kitchen, there was another gasp of surprise.

As Lin Xiaoqian fried the marinated chicken in the oil, she told Jiang Shuang and Zhuang Damao what she had overheard Yuan Yuan saying in the kitchen.

Jiang Shuang squatted down and touched Fei Fei's body. "Is this the Fei Fei who can make people stop worrying? You really look like a cat. By the way, Xiao Qian, did you bring the book 'Classic of Mountains and Seas'?"

Lin Xiaoqian thought for a moment and said, "Yes."

He wiped his hands on his apron, took a hardcover copy of the Classic of Mountains and Seas from the warehouse bookshelf, and handed it to Jiang Shuang.

Jiang Shuang quickly took it and started reading.

Zhuang Damao waved the flying fish in his hand and said to Lin Xiaoqian, "I'll cook this fish and see how it tastes different from crucian carp."

Besides making a pot of chicken stew, Lin Xiaoqian also stir-fried a few other dishes and served them along with the fish that Zhuang Damao had made.

Yuan Yuan was somewhat surprised to see a table full of dishes.

Lin Xiaoqian explained with a smile, "It's fate that we met. We haven't eaten either. Would you do us the honor of having a meal with us?"

This table of dishes was a feast for the eyes and the palate, and looked almost identical to the dishes made before the world evolved, making it incredibly precious.

When Lin Xiaoqian offered to treat her to a meal, Yuan Yuan was somewhat flattered. "This, this isn't quite right."

Lin Xiaoqian assumed that she felt uncomfortable eating with strangers she had just met, and said understandingly, "It's okay if you don't want to, I'll go and get you some more dishes separately."

Yuan Yuan swallowed hard and quickly stopped her, saying, "No need! I just feel a little embarrassed about having so many dishes."

Understanding that Yuan Yuan was simply too shy to take advantage of him, Lin Xiaoqian waved her hand and said, "You don't need to be so polite. I just happen to have something I'd like to ask you for help with, so it's only right that I treat you to a meal."

Yuan Yuan was still a little uneasy: "Then, what is it?" She wanted to find out first, just in case she couldn't help.

Lin Xiaoqian reassured him, "It's nothing serious, you can definitely help. We run a restaurant, so if you like it, please promote it to me when you get back home and help me attract more customers."

Hearing this, Yuan Yuan felt a little relieved. So that's how it is.

Even if Lin Xiaoqian hadn't asked her to help promote it, she would have definitely mentioned it herself when she got back.

She nodded: "Okay, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Everyone sat down, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Yuan Yuan picked up a piece of the chicken stew she had ordered and put it in her mouth.

Instantly, a rich aroma spread throughout the mouth.

This, this taste!

Yuan Yuan stood there, stunned. This tasted exactly the same as what she had eaten ten years ago. No! It tasted even better than what she had eaten ten years ago.

She slowly chewed the tender chicken pieces in her mouth. This was chicken meat, pure chicken meat, not some mutated, unrecognizable piece that could hardly be called chicken meat.

It smelled of fermented soybean paste. She hadn't tasted fermented soybean paste for eight or nine years. Ever since all the production factories in this world were destroyed and all the stored seasonings were used up, she had never tasted this flavor again.

Suddenly, tears welled up in Yuan Yuan's eyes, startling Lin Xiaoqian.

Why did she start crying while eating?

"Yuan Yuan, are you alright?"

Yuan Yuan quickly wiped away her tears and shook her head: "I'm fine, it's just that I haven't tasted this flavor in a long time, and I miss it a little."

Then they praised how delicious the chicken stew was.

Lin Xiaoqian felt relieved. She had just discussed with Jiang Shuang and the others in the kitchen about using the things in the warehouse to trade with the people of this world and exchange them for some local specialties to take back with them.

We've finally met someone, so we have to treat them well and not scare them away.

Lin Xiaoqian also brought some low-alcohol fruit wine to entertain Yuan Yuan. With all the eating and drinking, Yuan Yuan felt as if she had returned to ten years ago.

After a satisfying meal, the group sat together and chatted, mainly Lin Xiaoqian and her friends asking Yuan Yuan questions.

For example, what do they usually lack? Or, if Yuan Yuan knew that the world was about to change, what would she stock up on in advance if she went back ten years?

Over the course of the meal, Yuan Yuan's relationship with the others improved considerably, and she naturally shared everything she knew.

Before leaving, Lin Xiaoqian gave her a big bag of things, including sanitary napkins, toilet paper, seasoning packets, underwear, shampoo, shower gel, and so on.

These are all the things Yuan Yuan mentioned she wanted to stock up on.

Seeing Yuan Yuan staring at him in shock, Lin Xiaoqian patted Yuan Yuan's hand: "Although I run a restaurant, I have some stockpiled goods that I want to sell. Take some back and help me promote it to your area. Any plants, animals, or minerals that appear in this world can be traded here. The prices are fair and the goods are of good quality and low price."
