"Oh dear, since you're already here, won't you eat something before you leave?" Wang Er said anxiously. "It's freezing cold, how can I let you, such distinguished guests, leave on empty stomachs?"
"No need, brother. With the cold weather approaching, you should conserve your food!" Chen Yu couldn't help but remind him.
"Hehe, it's nothing. I'm actually very frugal. I only eat one bowl of porridge each morning and evening." Wang Er scratched his head.
Chen Yu was speechless and casually asked, "In this cold weather, can you really stand eating only two meals of porridge a day?"
"It's alright. I leave some rice water when I cook for him at noon, so he can have something to eat." Wang Er glanced at Niu Si Ke and, seeing that Niu Si Ke was also looking at him, nodded kindly at him.
"Sigh~" Chen Yu shook his head helplessly. He couldn't help but feel a sense of "pity for his misfortune and anger at his lack of ambition" towards Wang Er.
"What are they saying?" Niu Ke couldn't understand Da Xia language, but seeing Chen Yu's emotional expression, he couldn't help but ask Qiao Meng curiously.
“He said he only drinks two bowls of porridge a day,” Lin Lele answered first.
After saying that, he glanced at the unfinished pork belly on the wooden table, sighed, and said, "What an idiot."
Upon hearing this, Niu Ke was taken aback, and suddenly felt as if something was blocking his chest.
He gets meat at every meal from Wang Er, and eats rice for all three meals a day, but he doesn't appreciate his good fortune and complains that the meat Wang Er gives him is too fatty.
"Oh, and he also said that when he cooks rice for you at noon, he'll give you some rice porridge too," Lin Lele added.
"What is rice water?" Niu Ke asked, puzzled.
Upon hearing this, Lin Lele scratched her head, unsure how to describe it to Niu Si Ke for a long time.
Seeing Lin Lele's embarrassment, Qiao Meng smiled and took over the conversation, explaining to Niu Ke in a simple and easy-to-understand way: "Rice soup is the clear liquid with a slight rice aroma that appears on top after rice and water have been boiled together. Here, people sometimes use it to quench their thirst or as a simple food. Mr. Wang mentioned that he drinks rice soup to fill his stomach at noon, which is actually a way for him to save money when resources are scarce."
Upon hearing Qiao Meng's explanation, Niu Ke was slightly taken aback. Wang Er would rather go hungry himself than not treat him well, and Wang Er had not been friendly to him before, treating him like a prisoner.
What kind of spirit is this?
Thinking of this, NiuSke completely broke down: "Woo~ woo~ woo~ Oh my God! Woo~ woo~ woo~"
Even the richest man on Earth, Niu Ke, was moved to tears by Wang Er's extraordinary spirit.
