The Interstellar's Expert Plant Tamer

Xie Sen miscalculated, shredding the potato and filling the plate used only half of it, so he cut the other half into small cubes and made a potato stew. The potato was of System’s finest quality, and the meat was wild and naturally grown, so the two stewed together with an extraordinarily appealing aroma.

Xie Sen gulped. He couldn’t wait to eat vegetables after so long!

He poked with chopsticks to make sure the potatoes and meat were cooked through, and served two bowls.

Maine’s left hand was against the doorframe, his right hand was against the edge of the door, so he was blocking the doorway. Grandfather Xu Da had his hands on Maine’s left hand, his neck was stretched out to look inside, and he kept shrugging his nose. “Let me go in and see what’s going on. It smells so good!”

Grandfather saw Xie Sen, raised a hand and waved. “Xiao Sen. What are you cooking again?”

Xie Sen was helpless. This grandfather’s nose was too good. He wondered if there was a hood that didn’t emit fragrance.

Maine frowned and grimaced. “Grandfather, let go. I’m closing the door.”

“Let me see what smells so good, and I’ll let go,” Grandfather said, his eyes glowing at Xie Sen. “Or the same as last time. No matter what it is, I’ll pay double the price, sell me half a pound!”

Xie Sen spread his hands. “No more.” He had cooked all of the potato.

“You were just in the kitchen. I don’t believe you ate it all. Sell me some!” Grandfather looked at him expectantly. “Whatever your price. I can’t smell, and not eat. My heart is hard, I can’t rest for a few days.”

Xie Sen looked at Maine. Maine’s face was very difficult, but the hand against the door didn’t move. If he wanted to close the door, it wasn’t hard, but he may hurt Grandfather.

Xie Sen smiled, Maine showed all the soft kindness to make him feel at ease, so he would feel the same. Maine and the book villain were completely two different people. He had already seen Grandfather’s pestering skills and thought. “It’s a small amount. I only need two hundred star coins for a small bowl, okay?”

“Yes, yes!” Grandfather was busy agreeing, as he held out his hand to reveal his personal bracelet. “Quick, I’ll transfer the money.”

“Wait a minute.” Xie Sen said, and turned back to the kitchen. He served the remaining potato stew from the pot to a fresh food box, took it out and handed it to Grandfather. “Return the food box tomorrow night. We may not be around during the day.”

“Okay.” Grandfather’s eyes were glued to the food box. He quickly transferred the bill, took the food box and left with a sharp movement.

Maine closed the door behind him, and looked at Xie Sen. “What did you do?”

Xie Sen had looked up the information about Brandt Star vegetables. There were potatoes here, but the quantity was particularly small. Only rich supermarkets had them for sale, and it was the same as cabbage. It was limited to weekly sales, but cabbage was limited to thirty pounds, while potatoes were limited to ten, each at two thousand star coins.

Ordinary people simply wouldn’t go buy potatoes to eat. Rich people wanted to buy but might not be able to buy since the number was too small.

“Potato stew.” He didn’t hide it. He would know once he ate it later.

Maine was slightly surprised and asked, “How did you get it?”

Xie Sen smiled, “It’s probably good luck. You should go take a shower, or it won’t taste good when it gets cold.”
