The Interstellar's Expert Plant Tamer

Chapter 104: Exposure

Xie Sen couldn’t help but sigh at how fast the netizens were at processing videos!

Maine opened the door, the four of them entered the living room, and Xie Sen sat down on the sofa. Maine patted his shoulder. “I’ll go cook.”

Xie Sen nodded. He thought about the cabbage that hadn’t been used, and summoned it. The cabbage was still flat and unfolded, just much smaller than at the mall. The white leaves had holes in them that were blackened by the residue of the aerial camera and they looked miserable. He pulled the trash can over, picked a cabbage leaf, shook it with his hand, and shook the pocketed residue into the trash.

Long Teng reached out curiously. “Let me help you.”

Xie Sen let go of his end. Long Teng squeezed the leaf and shook it violently. With a click, the leaf broke and the cabbage fell, Long Teng quickly reached out, and cried, “Ah, it broke! I didn’t use force, ah!”

Xie Sen took it back. “It’s okay. The cabbage is very brittle, and the outside leaves are burned a lot.”

He used his hand to hold the root of the cabbage. He grasped the bottom center, and started from the middle of the leaves. Bad leaves were pulled off, and thrown into the trash. After removing two layers, the third layer had only crumbs on top.

Long Teng didn’t mind if he got dirty, so he grabbed some into his hands and looked at them carefully. He pinched a finger-sized piece of white scraps and said in delight, “Sunflower seed!” He went to put it in his mouth.
Bai Jiao caught his hand in time. “Don’t eat it, it’s not clean. Throw it away.”

Long Teng stared at it with regret for a while, then threw it into the garbage. “Such a big sunflower seed. What a pity.”

Xie Sen also felt sorry. If there was no bomb, the sunflower seed wouldn’t be blown up, and could still be picked up for eating. Now it was mixed into the residue, so they couldn’t eat it. He plucked the third layer of leaves, and threw them in the garbage. The following layers were very good leaves, so he ordered the cabbage to shrink. Then he commanded the cabbage to separate from the root, and put the good leaves on the coffee table, ready to be stir-fried.

Bai Jiao said, “It’s really cabbage!”
Xie Sen smiled. “Yeah. It got a lot bigger before, but now it’s a normal size.”

Although the large cabbage leaves were bigger and could produce a lot of stir-fry, the taste became particularly bland, which he disliked.
Long Teng squatted next to the garbage can, his eyes full of curiosity. “Can it get bigger and smaller like potatoes? That’s awesome!”

Xie Sen nodded. Long Teng looked at the sunflower on his left shoulder. “Aoi is also super awesome! It reacted so fast! I didn’t even react when I was watching the live stream!” He nodded to the sunflower. “Can I have some seeds?”

Aoi twisted its branch, became bigger, and poofed a handful of seeds into Long Teng’s hand. Then the flower disk faced Xie Sen. Xie Sen laughed and said, “I don’t want to eat.”

Aoi nodded its flower, shrank to its finger-size, and continued to stand there.

Long Teng was so happy. “Thank you, Aoi.” He sat back on the sofa, and held the seeds in his palm in front of Bai Jiao. “Eat.”

Bai Jiao didn’t hesitate, and joined him in eating the seeds. Xie Sen laughed. “Sunflower seeds are better when fried. I’ll stock up on them, and try them once in a while when I have more.”

Long Teng’s eyes lit up. “I want to eat them.”

Xie Sen finished with the cabbage, then brushed at the scum on his hands. “You’ll get your share.” He washed his hands, and when he returned to the living room, Maine had already taken the cabbage to the kitchen.
