Chapter 286: Universal Planting System (25)

Xie Yang stopped worrying about it once she had thought it through.

However, Al took the initiative to contact her:

"Xiao Xie, you know the Garbage Star has been taken over by the Military Department, right? We haven't received notice yet on whether Habitable Stars will continue to dump ecological garbage here in the future. This batch arriving this afternoon might be the last one. If you want it, I'll save it all for you."

Of course she wanted it!

That went without saying!

Xie Yang immediately stated her position, asking Al to help her save it, and she would contact Chi Dahu, Xiya Ma, and the others right away.

What if the management of the garbage dump became strict after the Military Department took over?

She wouldn't wait until tomorrow; she would go and haul all the meat back today!

Upon hearing that this job might not exist starting tomorrow, Chi Dahu and the others didn't even stop to rest; they drove their Flying Vehicle and followed Xie Yang to the Zone 1 Garbage Dump.

"Xiao Xie, you're here!"

Seeing Xie Yang, Al walked out to greet her, then pointed her in a direction:

"It just arrived this afternoon and hasn't been sorted yet; it's all in Warehouse 5."

"Thank you!" Xie Yang handed him two large insulated food containers. "Don't refuse; this might be the last time I make these."

Upon hearing this, Al cherished the two food containers as he took them, planning to bring them home and find a way to store them so he could eat them slowly in the future.

After the Military Department took over, if the garbage dump were to be shut down, such rare delicacies would be one less meal for every one he ate!

However, let alone bringing them home, he didn't even get a chance to bring them into the breakroom before they were intercepted.

The ones who intercepted him were Military Department personnel wearing general's uniforms.

The other party had followed the fragrance and politely asked him what was in the boxes, as it smelled so good.

Reflecting on it afterward, Al felt his brain must have short-circuited at the time; how could he dare to say such things to a big shot from the Military Department?

He said: "This is a delicacy made by a Cooking Master here. The ingredients used are the scraps from livestock that the Breeding Star discarded. The taste is better than any Nutrient Solution. Don't believe me? Why not try it? If you think it's delicious, could you keep the ecological garbage dump? Continue to let the Breeding Star dump livestock garbage here?"

Then... there was no then!

He watched helplessly as the two large boxes of delicacies that belonged to him alone were taken away by the other party to be tasted by the Admirals who were still discussing in the conference room at this hour. Whether to keep the ecological garbage dump, they said, would depend on the wishes of the Admirals.

Sob sob!

His sacrifice was huge!

If the ecological garbage dump isn't canceled in the future, Xiao Xie must compensate him with double the delicacies!

The conference room was in an uproar at this moment.

"Since it has been allocated to our Military Department, how can we continue to dump garbage here? I object!"

"I object too! You haven't been inside the Zone 1 ecological garbage dump; it reeks to high heaven! The industrial garbage in other zones is full of radiation. In short, if we want to change the status quo of the Garbage Star, the garbage dump must be canceled!"

"I also agree to cancel the garbage dump. The Federation certainly hopes to keep it; those people who hold sinecures are just trying to handle us while not wanting to change the status quo."

"But if garbage is utilized properly, it is also a form of wealth. At least some industrial garbage dumps can be kept."

"Then keep the metal garbage dumps where the second-hand market is relatively prosperous; the ecological garbage dump must be canceled no matter what!"

"After it's canceled, how will the ecological garbage from each Habitable Star be handled?"

"That is the Federation's business. Our Military Department is already tired enough dealing with the Insectoid movements; do we still need to help solve livelihood issues? Then what use are they! Might as well disband them early!"

"..."

As the meeting reached a white-hot stage, the Vice Captain walked in quickly, holding two large food containers wafting with fragrance, interrupting the red-faced arguments of everyone:

"Everyone! Look at what this is!"

"Ke En, what time do you think it is! You still have the leisure to go get natural food? Is the Nutrient Solution not enough for you to digest?" Admiral Oudi retorted unpleasantly.

Ke En smiled mysteriously: "You will definitely thank me in a moment."

The Captain sniffed the fragrance in the air that was different from Nutrient Solution and jokingly urged Ke En to reveal it quickly: "Stop keeping us in suspense. What exactly is this good stuff? If it's food, then share it with everyone. We've been arguing for a long time, and the Nutrient Solution we drank this morning is about digested."

Ke En stopped keeping them in suspense, placed the food containers on the conference table, and opened the lids.

"Whoa! Whose craftsmanship is this Cooking Master? To be able to make food look so beautiful!"

"Beautiful can't be used as Nutrient Solution, but this fragrance makes me hungry!"

"I didn't expect you, Ke En, to have quietly connected with some Cooking Master. I misunderstood you just now, haha!"

Everyone spoke while taking out tableware from their respective Space Buttons.

They were all people in high positions who often ate natural food to satisfy their cravings, so cups, bowls, and utensils were naturally at the ready.

"Wait—"

Ke En had wanted to inform them of the ingredients of this food first to avoid them feeling nauseous afterward, but who knew that everyone had already started eating, giving him thumbs-up while praising him for being resourceful as they ate.

Ke En: "..."

Should he wait until they digested it before reporting?

Otherwise, if they all started vomiting and then punished him alone to clean the conference room, he wouldn't be able to handle it!

However, one of the Old Generals seemed to recognize the Yanju-tizi... the trotters.

"Huh, why does this thing look so much like livestock scraps? When my regiment was trapped on Red Cloud Star back then, energy and Nutrient Solution were all exhausted, and before reinforcements arrived, we had to slaughter a type of livestock called Stinky Pig found there; its claws looked just like this..."

Another Old General also stared at a piece of chewy and soft Braised Pork Intestines in his hand for a long time: "Old Qian, this is Stinky Pig intestine, right? Scraps that the Breeding Star discarded?"

"..."

In an instant, the delicacy in their hands didn't smell good anymore!

They all looked at Ke En in unison.

Ke En chuckled twice: "What I wanted to report is exactly this—this is a delicacy made by a maverick Cooking Master. Because it's impossible to get normal ingredients on the Garbage Star, they used livestock garbage thrown over by the Breeding Star. I heard that this Master puts the finished delicacies on the Star Net for sale. Guess how many Star Coins such a portion of Yanju-tizi sells for? 10! That's right! Not 1000, not 100, only 10 Star Coins! Such a bowl of soup, you can have it for 5 Star Coins..."

"..."

The lively conference room suddenly became silent.

A few minutes later—

"What are you still waiting for! Hurry and contact that Cooking Master!" General Oudi slammed the table.

The other generals also expressed their positions one after another:

"Meat livestock trash, is it? I agree to keep it!"

"I agree too! If meat livestock scraps can be made into such affordable and delicious natural food, who would still want to drink high-priced Nutrient Solution?"

"Nutrient Solution companies really should hire some truly capable Cooking Masters to change their Nutrient Solution formulas; a four or five-figure Nutrient Solution isn't even as appetizing as the trash discarded by the Breeding Star!"

"Better not change it, the more they change it, the worse it tastes! We had better treat this Cooking Master well; if we can persuade him to occasionally come to the Logistics Base to take charge of the cooking, I, old Qian, will pay his salary out of my own pocket!"

"..."
