Chapter 57
The arrangement of the B&B is two days and one night, and reservations can only be made on alternate days. For example, reservations can be made on the 2nd and 4th, but not on the 3rd.
The first batch to arrive was Zhuge Ningning.
They were really bored during the holiday, so they came to play with Su Chaoliu and Su Chaoqi early.
They were the first starship to arrive, and it was only around ten o'clock when Qiao Zhiyan received the people back.
Su Chaoliu was also very happy to see them, but since the elders were here, she had to say hello to Mrs. Zhuge first.
Mrs. Zhuge nodded towards her.
Su Chaoliu took Zhuge Ningning's hand and walked to the B&B: "I will take you to register first."
Mother Qiao quickly checked in and asked Su Chaoliu to take them to the room.
According to the number, their houses are opposite Su Chaoliu and Su Chaoqi. Knowing this, Zhuge Ningning and Zhuge Mengmeng were very happy, which meant that it was easy for them to find Su Chaoliu and Su Chaoqi to play.
Zhuge and his daughter went to clean up the room first, and also checked whether the room was satisfactory. If they were not satisfied with anything, they would ask for it to be replaced.
However, the Qiao family's B&B had been overhauled before. Zhuge Ningning and Zhuge Mengmeng chose the room upstairs, and Mrs. Zhuge lived downstairs.
They had just finished checking the room to make sure the water, electricity and energy were available and the room was clean, when they heard the doorbell ring.
Zhuge Ningning looked at her head and saw "Room Service" displayed, then opened the door.
Outside the door was a robot with crawlers. It did not enter the door, but opened the door of the abdominal cavity, revealing the contents loaded inside.
Zhuge Ningning walked to the door and picked up something. When she picked it up, the robot closed its abdominal cavity, turned around and left.
She then looked to see what "room service" had brought.
They are fruits picked in the orchard early in the morning, including bayberry, longan, and lychee. Each one weighs about half a catty, but Zhuge Ningning doesn’t recognize them, so they collectively call them “fruits.”
When they made a reservation for the B&B, the service content indeed stated that this was included.
Zhuge Ningning asked Zhuge Mengmeng to eat with Mrs. Zhuge.
Half a pound of each fruit may not sound like much, but with five kinds of fruits, it adds up to a lot.
Mrs. Zhuge only allowed them to eat a third of the food, and they were not allowed to eat the rest.
Zhuge Mengmeng was in poor health, and her stomach couldn't bear it after eating too much.
According to the itinerary, they can go to the orchard to play when they arrive and take a lunch break after playing.
There is free time from lunch break to the buffet barbecue in the evening.
Su Chaoliu sent a message to Zhuge Ningning asking if they could come out.
Zhuge Ningning and Zhuge Mengmeng ran out happily. Mrs. Zhuge lagged a few steps behind. After checking the doors and windows, she locked the door and followed them slowly.
Su Chaoliu took them to the orchard.
Before entering the orchard, Su Chaoliu gave each of the mother and daughter a plastic basket, pointed to the "notes" at the entrance of the park and told them that the fruits they picked and put in the baskets were given to them, and they could also pick them in the orchard and eat them directly. , but some fruits need to be processed after picking. For example, bayberries and mulberries need to be soaked in salt water for a while, otherwise they are easy to eat bugs. Those with peel can be eaten directly.
The ugly words are written at the front. Even if the guest picks the fruit and eats the bugs, it has nothing to do with the B&B.
Zhuge Ningning and Zhuge Mengmeng both nodded in agreement, but they were afraid of eating bugs, so they didn't plan to eat anything.
Zhuge Ningning and Zhuge Mengmeng had never experienced the activity of picking fruits, so they cheered and ran away with the small basket.
Su Chaoliu walked slowly with Mrs. Zhuge.
They visited the Bayberry Garden first, and there were also Lychee Garden, Mulberry Garden, Longan Garden and so on.
Seeing Mrs. Zhuge just strolling around slowly, Su Chaoliu asked with a smile, "Auntie, aren't you going to pick fruits?"
Mrs. Zhuge smiled: "They will definitely pick more, and then they can just put them in my basket."
The basket is not big, and it can hold about one kilogram by visual inspection.
This situation is likely to happen, so Su Chaoliu said no more and took Mrs. Zhuge for a casual walk in the orchard.
Although it is midsummer now, the orchard is full of tree shades, and there is basically no sunlight. Moreover, the fabric of the Star has a thermal insulation effect, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, so it is quite comfortable.
Mrs. Zhuge didn't say anything and walked with Su Chaoliu for more than ten minutes. Seeing that Su Chaoliu was still smiling and unhurried, she was quite impressed with her.
"Mengmeng's health has improved a lot," Mrs. Zhuge said proactively, "She hasn't taken much medicine for more than a month."
Perhaps because of concerns in his heart, Zhuge Mengmeng became much more lively, and the lifelessness caused by seeking death was much lessened. He asked Mrs. Zhuge three times a day how the rice planting was going, and even went to plant asteroids in the rice fields. Seen.
Su Chaoliu also gave her a "Complete Collection of Porridge Products", which Su Chaoqi translated, and Zhuge Mengmeng tried the recipes one by one.
Mrs. Zhuge was also frightened by her previous behavior. As she tossed, the Zhuge family could still withstand her Mengmeng made sweet porridge once and got out of control. She tried her best to make lily and lotus seed porridge, pumpkin porridge, and sweet potato porridge, even if it made the house a mess.
It's strange to say that Zhuge Mengmeng was fooling around like this, eating what he made, and his health actually improved a little.
So even though these ingredients on Xingwang are not cheap, Mrs. Zhuge still indulged Zhuge Mengmeng's behavior. After all, this little money is still a good deal for a good body.
Su Chaoliu was not surprised. Zhuge Mengmeng's body couldn't stand big fish and meat, but porridge was the best.
Compared with sweet porridge, meat porridge is better and can supplement more nutrients, but the processing of meat is more complicated, and Zhuge Mengmeng probably does not dare to do it.
"That's good," Su Chaoliu answered, "but you have to keep an eye on her during the buffet barbecue tonight. She can't eat too much."
Mrs. Zhuge frowned and was a little unhappy with the evening's activities: "Then I won't take her to participate."
Su Chaoliu quickly advised: "Just don't let her eat too much. It will be fine if she only eats a few mouthfuls. Then I will give Mengmeng a pot of shredded chicken porridge. After eating the porridge, she will not have much appetite for anything else." "
Mrs. Zhuge reluctantly agreed.
Zhuge Ningning and Zhuge Mengmeng didn't like the bayberry very much because they both liked the sweeter longan, so they picked a few and moved to another place.
After picking and picking, I couldn't help myself, so I peeled one off and ate it.
The exquisite and translucent pulp is like translucent crystal. It tastes sweet and makes you feel better when you bite it.
Zhuge Mengmeng liked it very much and picked a lot. When she saw that her basket was full of longans, she blinked and turned to look for her mother.
She ran over and gave her basket to Mrs. Zhuge. She took Mrs. Zhuge's empty basket and sighed: "We can't pick anymore. This basket also has other fruits."
Mrs. Zhuge's eyebrows moved slightly, and she turned to ask Su Chaoliu: "Can we pick more?"
"Okay," Su Chaoliu was waiting for this and replied with a smile, "The extra is fifty star coins per pound, regardless of type."
The price was not expensive, and Mrs. Zhuge agreed directly. Su Chaoliu turned on the optical brain and asked the robot to send a few more empty baskets.
"Huh?" Zhuge Ningning's voice came from the front, slightly nervous, "Why are there strange beasts here?"
Mrs. Zhuge was horrified and immediately pulled Zhuge Mengmeng to her side to protect her. At the same time, she asked Su Chaoliu sternly: "How could there be a strange beast?"
Su Chao Liu glanced in that direction, which was an orchard with chickens, and said calmly, "Don't worry, they can't get through if the barbed wire is pulled."
Mrs. Zhuge thought for a while and thought about how her eldest daughter was a student of the individual soldier department. She only had such a question but did not warn them to evacuate quickly. She thought it should be safe, so she stood still.
Zhuge Ningning stared at a rooster in the barbed wire fence, then carefully pulled the barbed wire and turned to find Su Chaoliu: "Ah Liu, the barbed wire is not strong enough. Once the alien beast evolves, it will not be able to withstand it."
The chickens raised now are all first-class exotic animals. In Su Chaoliu's opinion, they are almost the same as ordinary domestic chickens in Blue Star, so a barbed wire fence is enough.
Su Chaoliu said firmly: "It doesn't matter, the possibility of them evolving is very small."
She said so confidently that Mrs. Zhuge asked suspiciously: "Do you have a way to control the evolution of strange beasts?"
Although she thinks this is impossible, if there is such a method, how could it be mastered by a college student.
Su Chaoliu shook his head: "We can't control it. We just try not to create conditions for the alien beasts to evolve."
Biology is also a compulsory course for interstellar students. Even Zhuge Mengmeng has learned it. Su Chao Liuyi said that she went to recall the conditions for the evolution of alien beasts mentioned in the book.
"The evolution of alien beasts is for better survival," Zhuge Mengmeng recited the contents of the book according to the script. "The more powerful the alien beasts, the more resources they can obtain; in the harsher the environment, the alien beasts' The greater the pressure for survival, the greater the possibility of alien animals evolving."
What she recited was correct. Su Chaoliu nodded: "Then conversely, the more comfortable the environment, the less likely it is that the alien beasts will evolve."
Can this sentence be understood this way? But after Mrs. Zhuge thought about it carefully, she had to admit that there was some truth in this sentence.
However, it was too risky after all.
Because just like people, no matter how comfortable the environment is, there are still people who are willing to work hard and be positive. What if there happens to be such a strange beast and it wants to evolve.
Even if just one such beast appears, it can destroy this B&B.
Su Chaoliu pointed to the metal ring on the chicken's foot: "We have monitored the chickens. Any abnormal chickens will trigger an electric current, and the electric current will stun the chickens."
Mrs. Zhuge looked at the small ring: "Can this detect supernatural powers?"
"No," Su Chaoliu said simply, "it can only detect the chicken's heart rate changes, blood flow rate, blood pressure, etc."
"What's the use of that?"
“The second-level alien beasts are more powerful than the first-level alien beasts, which means that the heart must be stronger to supply the energy needed by the second-level alien beasts. The evolution of the first-level alien beasts to the second-level alien beasts will not happen overnight. As it slowly accumulates strength, its body must also change accordingly. We set a critical point. When it exceeds this critical point, it will warn and release bioelectricity. At that time, it will either be released or eaten. "
Although Mrs. Zhuge still felt that it was risky, since they had a plan to deal with it, they would not say more. The persuasion must be given to those who can listen.
