Interstellar Number One Farmer: I Only Want To Farm!-Chapter 366 - 115: Installing Mechanical Limbs_2

The woman had prosthetics on her legs and arms, but she wore long sleeves and pants, seemingly to hide her imperfections.

Su Xiaocai gave them a friendly smile but did not approach.

Instead, she followed the restaurant’s waiter to a private room.

The woman mocked Admiral Bai, "Your people are really arrogant, just like you, the dictator."

This sentence, Su Xiaocai heard, but her steps did not slow down, instead, she walked faster.

Admiral Bai: "Sister, it’s just inconvenient for us to meet in public. I am not a dictator; I just don’t want you becoming more extreme and irritable day by day."

The person called sister was Admiral Bai’s biological sister. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Three years ago, she barely survived in the Insect Man outbreak area, but as a result, she lost her arms and legs and her personality changed drastically.

Admiral Bai: "Also, you shouldn’t take it out on her. Bai Ling’s words are unreliable. She’s been spoiled by our cousin. As her aunt, you need to discern right from wrong, not believe everything you hear."

"Don’t attempt to lecture me, I’m not deceived. Didn’t Su Xiaocai embarrass Bai Ling at the banquet? Isn’t she too arrogant? She simply doesn’t take the Bai Family into account."

Admiral Bai retorted: "We are just ordinary people; only Insect Men claim noble bloodlines. Su Xiaocai simply disregards Bai Ling. That girl Bai Ling, other than a sweet talker, has no merits worth mentioning. I heard Uncle Grandpa’s phone call; you shouldn’t still be shielding her." Even against family, Admiral Bai harshly criticized without holding back.

If it were Bai Fu still in the military, she might have picked up a stick to punish the kids.

Bai Ling’s companionship gave her a special sentiment towards Bai Ling, even knowing Bai Ling’s ulterior motives.

"Did you bring me here today to find a girl to accompany me?" Bai Fu pursed her thin lips, presuming Admiral Bai’s arrangements negatively.

Admiral Bai didn’t argue; sometimes, reality serves as the best rebuttal.

However, he didn’t want Bai Fu to initially have a degrading view of Su Xiaocai.

"She has too many things going on, I can’t afford to hire her, and she wouldn’t abandon her own career just to accompany you. You overestimate me, and yourself."

"Then why did you introduce me, why did you bring me here?"

"You’ll find out soon."

As the private room door was opened, the restaurant’s boss was also there, and Admiral Bai nodded to him.

The boss nodded in greeting, "Hello, officer."

"No need to be formal, make yourself comfortable."

Afterward, the boss continued to exchange culinary insights with Su Xiaocai.

Su Xiaocai could indeed cook; although her skills were average, she could make things tasty, though far from a first-class chef’s level.

Yet she had tasted a plethora of ingredients, some he hadn’t even heard of.

It seemed in her eyes, as long as it was cooked and detoxified, there was nothing inedible.

From Su Xiaocai, the boss learned about a hallucinogenic mushroom that, with sustained heating, could be detoxified to make an utterly delicious dish.

The boss praised repeatedly, "I must try it when I get the chance."

Su Xiaocai rubbed her hands together; the boss’s culinary skills would surely enhance the flavor of ingredients exponentially. She wondered if she could ask him for advice or maybe record a video at that time.

Xiao Wanzi stood by, continuously absorbing culinary knowledge; the boss spoke of the right heat, how to slice ingredients, and how to season to enhance the inherent flavor.

There was much to learn, and Su Xiaocai yearned to kneel and become an apprentice.

But with Admiral Bai watching, she had to give up the opportunity; there was plenty of time, and each time she came, she would ask more questions, hoping that one day, Xiao Wanzi could become self-reliant.

Seeing Su Xiaocai getting more excited, with her passion for cooking growing stronger, Admiral Bai began to order dishes, and the boss tactfully left first.

Before serving the dishes.

Four veterans with limb issues were successively ushered into the private room.

Their injuries hadn’t changed their spirit; they were still full of vigor, with bright eyes.

"Hello, officer, Miss Bai, Teacher Su."

The four who came were all talkative types.

Su Xiaocai quickly integrated into their chat circle, understanding their current situations.

Some, after becoming disabled, did not leave the military but assumed clerical roles; some started small businesses, while others served as Admiral Bai’s housekeeper.

They were all soldiers disabled in the recent wars.

Admiral Bai mentioned a chance to transfer them back to the military, so they came, as retiring for too long would make returning difficult.

With strong resolve and no social difficulties, they talked openly about many inconveniences in life, sharing with Su Xiaocai how they managed.

Su Xiaocai somewhat understood why Admiral Bai wanted to prepare for their mechanical transplants first. Such veteran reintegration into the military would allow for the swiftest adaptation back to military life.
