The restaurant owner’s knock at the door came just in time to break the awkward atmosphere, and Zyaire’s performance-like expression cleared, while Dong Tianyu no longer lingered on the sweetness of the tea.

"Let’s start the meal."

Upon Zyaire’s invitation, the owner personally brought out the dishes to serve them. This wasn’t because Zyaire was particularly influential, but because, due to the alarm, the waitstaff had already taken shelter in the underground bunker, leaving him alone in the restaurant. Therefore, he had to serve the dishes himself.

As everyone had guessed, at this time, the person cooking was also him.

Because all the dishes were prepared before being served together, they were quickly brought to the table.

Dong Tianyu glanced at the dishes on the table: four meat and two vegetarian options. Apart from the delicately plated vegetarian dishes in small bowls, the portions of the four meat dishes were substantial.

Seeing the vegetarian dishes being served, Dong Tianyu understood that the standard for Zyaire’s banquet was not low.

Although the two dishes of delicately plated vegetables might appear scant, Dong Tianyu estimated that when it came time to pay the bill, the price of these two small bowls of vegetables would likely be much higher than that of the four large meat dishes.

Don’t think that now that the earthquake is over and farming land can be reclaimed, agriculture will quickly recover.

Anyone who has truly cleared and tilled the land knows that turning wasteland into fertile soil is not easy. Not to mention soil enrichment, just the initial clearing, which involves meticulously turning the soil to remove all the stones, then a long period of sun exposure to kill any insect eggs...

Under normal circumstances, turning wasteland into fertile soil requires at least three planting cycles.

During the earthquake and natural disaster period, due to the expansion of Blue Star, the land of the entire planet churned, and fertile fields developed over many dynasties were destroyed in that disaster.

If not for the subsequent revival of ancient creatures, which provided new food sources for the survivors, scenes of nibbling on bark and digging for roots would certainly have reoccurred.

Once all the dishes were served, the owner looked at Zyaire, who directly said, "That’s enough, bring out the liquor I’ve stored here."

Zyaire might have sounded grand, but it wasn’t until the owner went inside that Dong Tianyu realized that all the liquor Zyaire had stored was just half a bottle.

Looking at the somewhat blurred label on the bottle, Dong Tianyu fell silent, then silently took out a clear plastic bottle filled with liquid from his backpack.

Seeing Dong Tianyu’s actions, Zyaire had his guesses about what Dong Tianyu had brought out.

However, contrary to Zyaire’s assumption, Dong Tianyu didn’t immediately pour for Zyaire after taking out the bottle, but instead asked Zyaire, "For drinking liquor, do you prefer strong aroma or sauce aroma?"

Surprised by Dong Tianyu’s question, Zyaire wondered how a single bottle of liquor could vary between strong aroma and sauce aroma.

Seeing Zyaire’s puzzled expression, Dong Tianyu explained with a smile, "Strong aroma is forty-five degrees, sauce aroma is fifty-three degrees."

Hearing Dong Tianyu say this, if Zyaire were a comic character, he would have speechlessly drawn a full head of black lines, "Dude, who told you this method of distinguishing liquors? Strong aroma and sauce aroma refer to two types of brewing processes, not distinguished by the alcohol content."

Hearing Zyaire’s words, Dong Tianyu pointed to the bottle and then told Zyaire, "This is how I distinguish them, and I’m asking whether you want to drink it or not, if not, I’ll just put it away."

Hearing Dong Tianyu say this, Zyaire hastily replied, "No, no, no, I was wrong. It’s your call, both strong aroma and sauce aroma are fine."
