Yu Ningning almost choked on her food.
Overwhelmed by shock and excitement, and with an unspoken, suppressed burst of laughter, she even choked on her food, swallowing it whole. It took her a while to catch her breath, her face turning red from coughing.
After finally catching her breath, she looked up at Qin Shi Huang and almost burst out laughing: "Wait, what did you just say? Can you repeat it?"
The scene just now was hilarious.
It would be a shame not to reminisce about it!
Just by looking at Yu Ningning's expression, Qin Shi Huang knew that he had misunderstood.
He secretly added another note to the woman who misled him on the phone, pretending not to notice Ningning's gaze, and said with a straight face, "I said I'm craving something. I don't want to be looked down upon for eating potatoes every day, or be seen as living a very poor life. I make money by washing these round clods of dirt. I want to eat meat tomorrow."
Of course, you have to eat meat.
As the former leader of one of only three major bases in the post-apocalyptic world, Yu Ningning never compromised herself even in the resource-scarce post-apocalyptic world, living a life of luxury. Naturally, she will not lower her standard of living now.
Today, I only ate a vegetarian meal because I'm new here, haven't established my own power base, and don't have time to cook.
From now on, meat will be a staple in every meal.
Yu Ningning readily agreed, saying, "It's just eating meat, what's so difficult about that? My cooking skills are always excellent. I'll make Dongpo pork for you tomorrow, it's delicious, I'm sure you'll love it."
Qin Shi Huang gave a nonchalant "hmm" on the surface, but in his mind he was still pondering Yu Ningning's words.
Dongpo pork?
This doesn't sound like a dish name, but rather like a person's name. Could it be that someone is cursing someone who eats the flesh of a man named Dongpo?
...How could a dish be named like that?
People in later generations are really strange.
However, since he had already made a fool of himself by calling himself an 'idiot', Qin Shi Huang felt he needed to save face, so he chose to endure it for the time being and find an opportunity to find out the truth later, so as not to make a fool of himself again.
Yu Ningning then remembered something and asked suspiciously, "Why do you think eating potatoes is stingy? Did someone tell you something?"
With elegant movements and a calm tone, Qin Shi Huang said, "Just now, a voice came from your black box that can transmit sound over a thousand miles. I had a conversation with that black box. The woman on the other side vaguely mentioned that eating only potatoes is a very stingy thing to do."
"I felt that I was once the ruler of the Great Qin Empire, with a vast and rich territory. Even though I have now fallen into this harsh world, I cannot lose my former glory and live the most miserable life, which would only make people look down on me."
"But since we can eat Dongpo's pork tomorrow, then there shouldn't be any problems."
He paused, then added in a condescending tone, "Also, that black box that can transmit sound over long distances isn't difficult to use. I only fiddled with it a couple of times before I learned how to use it."
"You should arrange one for me someday."
Someone called?
While checking her call log on her phone, Yu Ningning casually replied, "Sure, a phone costs a thousand yuan, and washing a basin of potatoes costs ten yuan. I'll buy you one when you've saved enough money."
Qin Shi Huang: ...
Upon seeing the name 'An Shujia' in the call log, Yu Ningning's lips twitched. Recalling An Shujia's habitual provocations towards Yu Ningning, and based on what Qin Shihuang had just said, she could roughly guess the content of their conversation.
How did these two people, who can't even talk like a chicken and a duck, end up together?
However, in the past, driven by a desire to show off and to hurt people's feelings, An Shujia's phone calls would last at least half an hour.
Judging from the fact that today's phone call only lasted three minutes, it seems that the two of them had a very unpleasant conversation.
