Chapter 17: Inflation is Too Excessive
Even though he had made the decision, Jiang Wan was still a little worried that the people in the interstellar space would not be able to get used to the delicious food on Earth.
So, she planned to find someone to conduct an experiment on, and the experimental subject was naturally her nominal partner Yin Yi.
"Xiaopang, do you have any ingredients at home? I want to cook."
"No, but if Wanwan wants it, she can place an order on Star Online, and the supermarket will deliver it directly to her."
"But..." Jiang Wan was a little embarrassed, "I don't have any money..."
Jiang Wan felt a little embarrassed. Since being adopted by her adoptive father, she had never encountered such an embarrassing situation.
"It's okay, I have it!" Xiaopang said with a lavish look, "When the admiral left home this morning, he connected me to his StarNet payment and specifically told me that if Wanwan wants to buy something, he will pay for it. The admiral is very rich, so you don't have to be polite, Wanwan."
"In that case, Xiaopang, send a message to Yin Yi later and ask him to come back for dinner in the evening."
"Wow, Wanwan, are you going to cook delicious food for the admiral? That's great, the admiral will definitely be very happy."
Under Xiaopang's guidance, Jiang Wan opened the shopping platform and began to select the ingredients and seasonings she needed.
but......
What is this?
Exploding powder?
Jiang Wan clicked it and took a look. Isn’t this just flour? Why is it called exploding flour?
Pull down further, and you will see the meat of the Hengheng beast. This Hengheng beast looks quite like a pig.
Crying fruit? Open it and see, well, onion.
......
Jiang Wan browsed through all the shopping platforms and found that there were actually many ingredients in the star system, but the names were slightly different from those she knew. Only a few vegetables had the same names as the ones she knew.
"Xiao Pang, besides the nutrient solution, does Yin Yi usually eat other foods? What kind of food does he like to eat?"
Since I spent his money, I should cook a delicious meal to thank him. What's more, Yin Yi saved my life yesterday.
"Hmm..." Xiao Pang thought hard for a while, "I don't know this. After Xiao Pang came here, he has never seen the admiral eat food. He only drinks nutrient solution."
Jiang Wan immediately stood in awe of Yin Yi. He was able to drink that strange liquid without changing his expression and had been drinking it for so many years. He was truly a warrior among warriors.
Jiang Wan clicked his lips and decided to cook a sumptuous and delicious meal in the evening to reward Yin Yi and let him see what delicious food is.
After Jiang Wan had chosen the ingredients, he was about to ask Xiaopang to come over to help pay when he glanced at the settlement amount below.
What the hell!
Eighty-six thousand seven hundred and eighty star coins!
She didn't buy much, why is it so expensive?
Jiang Wan quickly reopened the order page, thinking that he had accidentally clicked the wrong thing, resulting in such a high amount.
But when she saw the prices of the ingredients she had chosen, Jiang Wan's hands couldn't help shaking as she swiped the page.
One potato costs one thousand star coins...
And she picked ten at once.
Each chili pepper cost eight hundred star coins, and she bought eight.
Jiang Wan closed her eyes. Even though she was once considered a wealthy woman, she couldn't accept such expensive vegetable prices.
And this is just the cost of one meal. If she eats like this for three meals a day, Yin Yi will go bankrupt.
Jiang Wan was a little embarrassed for a moment. Although the nutrient solution was indeed good for the body, she really couldn't drink it, and the food in the Interstellar Restaurant was so bad.
Oh, by the way, she also wasted a takeaway today.
"Xiao Pang, how many star coins did the food you ordered for me today cost?"
"Twenty-six thousand star coins."
"Hiss—so expensive?"
Jiang Wan took a breath.
She had just checked. The only expensive things in the interstellar world were the vegetarian dishes. Meat was very cheap, and the cost of that takeaway portion would definitely not exceed one thousand star coins.
"Is it expensive?" Xiaopang looked at Jiang Wan in confusion. "That's their signature dish. It sells very well. The president of the Culinary Association once praised it for its affordable price."
26,000 yuan for a piece of half-cooked meat, is that affordable?
Even if her savings can be used here, it probably won’t last long.
"Hey, Wanwan, you've chosen your ingredients. I'll pay for you."
Before Jiang Wan could even react, the fat guy paid the money directly. Jiang Wan was dumbfounded when he saw the words "Ingredients have been sent, please check" displayed on the computer interface.
No, this is too fast. It only took one second for the payment to be completed.
"Xiao Pang, can I return this?"
Jiang Wan spoke cautiously.
“Once you purchase the ingredients, you cannot get a refund.”
"Ah, what if I bought the wrong one?"
"If you bought the wrong one, you can only throw it away." Xiao Pang looked at Jiang Wan's anxious face and said, "Wan Wan, did you buy the wrong one? It doesn't matter. If you bought the wrong one, just throw it away and buy another one."
"Yes, that's right. I'm just asking."
Jiang Wan pulled the corner of his mouth, "Xiao Pang, I just bought such expensive ingredients, will Yin Yi be angry?"
"Why are you angry, Admiral? It is the obligation of an orc's partner to pay for the female. Besides, these ingredients are not expensive. They are all very common ingredients. There are no rare ingredients."
Not expensive?
Isn't this interstellar currency a bit too inflated?
When Jiang Wan was watching the live broadcast, he thought that these interstellar people were very generous. They gave so much tips just for watching a live broadcast. It turned out to be because of inflation.
However, Jiang Wan thought of the faceless store blogger who received so many tips just for taking everyone to eat a serving of steamed potato cubes.
It seems that the people in this galaxy have no problem with their sense of taste. As long as the food they cook is delicious, they will receive a lot of rewards.
Jiang Wan is still very confident in his cooking skills.
In less than ten minutes, the ingredients Jiang Wan bought online arrived, and Xiaopang helped her deliver everything to the kitchen.
"Wanwan, what delicious food are you going to make? Do you need my help?"
"Can you get some water? If you can, help me wash the vegetables."
"I am an all-round housekeeping robot. I can do everything except cooking."
"Okay, okay, you are awesome. Come, help me wash the potatoes and peel them."
Xiaopang took the small potatoes that looked like they were stunted from Jiang Wan's hand and took them to the sink to wash them carefully, while Jiang Wan began to prepare other ingredients.
I don’t know how much Yin Yi eats or what kind of food he likes, but Jiang Wan hasn’t had a real meal for more than a month. Plus, she only ate some fruit today, which was not enough to fill her up, so she prepared four dishes and a soup today.
