"One gold coin a day? Are you robbing me?" The flamingo was furious, looking at the dilapidated territory. It seemed like they were just ripping off anyone they could find!
But her brother, who was in her arms, tugged at her and pulled out three more gold coins.
The flamingo gritted its teeth and gave out three more gold coins.
Four gold coins lived through the yellow sands!
The three orcs were dragged to clean up the small inn, which still had a communal pool and toilet, and the dilapidated little rooms were leaking dust. For such accommodations, it cost one gold coin a night. Flamingo's heart was bleeding!
Qin Yiyi ignored her. The seaweed rice rolls she made yesterday were all gone. She took another 1.4 jin of rice, enough to make 70 seaweed rice rolls. She kept 15 seaweed rice rolls for herself for today's three meals, gave the remaining 30 to Xide, and the other 20 to Flamingo and the other person.
Five pieces left...
She decided to give it to the three orcs.
Seaweed rice rolls are quick to make if you have the ingredients. She just rolled them into long strips and cut them into pieces, and they were done in less than an hour.
There were only four kilograms of rice left.
She needs to get some more refined rice, but eating refined rice all the time will arouse suspicion, so she needs to think of a way.
"One gold coin for a night's lodging, plus dinner included, you're getting a great deal! It's a good thing my young lady is a new lord and kind-hearted, otherwise ten gold coins a night would be a reasonable price!"
Sid walked in carrying a plate of seaweed rice rolls, and what he said made Flamingo's forehead veins bulge.
"If it weren't for the fact that you're injured and can't move easily, I would have fought him even if I got hurt!" The flamingo folded its wings, leaving only the fiery feather mark between its eyebrows.
Her brother coughed twice and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Brother, hang in there a little longer. Once the sandstorm passes, I'll take you to the numbered base to beg for food!"
Her brother gave a bitter laugh, realizing he wouldn't make it through.
He pointed to the food on the table.
"Isn't there food? Actually, we're definitely not losing money by spending one gold coin a night and providing food!"
"Brother! What kind of food do these small territories provide? It's definitely all highly polluted food. Don't eat it; it won't do your health any good!"
"But if we don't eat, where will we find food on this sandy day?" He said, ignoring his flamingo sister's advice, and took a bite.
One bite at a time, and after swallowing, I felt warm all over, and the bloody phlegm in my throat seemed to have cleared up quite a bit.
He picked up another piece and stuffed it into his chattering sister's mouth, then ate another piece himself.
"This is not...not highly contaminated food!"
No wonder, no wonder the other party said that ten gold coins a night was worth it.
He held the third seaweed rice roll, seemingly shocked.
"A small, dilapidated village actually has a master chef!"
"This is zero-pollution food!" At the same time, the startled flamingos also screamed.
The brother and sister exchanged a glance.
"Thank God, this gold coin is such a good deal, even with a night and a meal!"
The older brother made a decision immediately.
How many gold coins do we have left to pay for the room?
*****
Five pieces of food to be divided among three people? This is going to be a fight between Ox-Head, Horse-Face, and Deer Antlers!
The deer antlers were first picked out in three pieces.
He accepted even the highly polluted food. They hadn't eaten for two days and couldn't get out of the desert. They had to eat something, otherwise it would affect their mental strength. The highly polluted food was bad, but at least they could last for two more days, although the pollution index in their bodies would rise.
But there was no other way to survive!
"I carried more rice than you guys when I came back, so I should get three pieces!"
"Why should we? We can divide this seaweed rice roll into three pieces!"
Puff puff puff~
The deer used a sneaky tactic, spitting out saliva from the three pieces of rice rolls.
He said smugly, "Let's see who can steal it now!"
Ox-Head and Horse-Face were greatly shocked.
"I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you!"
The deer was quite pleased with itself. It opened its mouth and took a bite of a seaweed rice roll. Its eyes rolled around as it reached for the ox-headed and horse-faced demons, but it failed.
Seeing that he had failed, he ran away as fast as he could.
"Tch, does he think everyone's like him? Trying to steal other people's things!"
"Exactly! Who would snatch something that's been spat on?"
"If he hadn't run so fast, I would have fought him!"
After spitting out the deer antlers, the Ox-Head and Horse-Face ate a piece of seaweed rice roll, then their eyes widened instantly as they devoured another piece of seaweed rice roll with lightning speed.
"Yes, it's zero-pollution food!"
"I...I feel my old ailment is slowly recovering!"
"My God, he's a master chef!"
Good heavens! What are they doing? They've kidnapped a culinary master and brought him to this remote little village!
The bull's head wept.
"She could have enslaved us directly, but she still fed us! And it was such pollution-free food! She really... I'm devastated!"
"Waaaaah~ I swear I'll be her slave, I'll serve her like a beast of burden!"
Meanwhile, the deer on the other side had already finished eating three pieces of seaweed rice rolls. Unlike Ox-Head and Horse-Face, he only talked about being a good slave but didn't do anything about it.
He ran to the lord's house and hugged Qin Yiyi's leg.
"My lord, from now on you are my god! If you tell me to herd chickens, I will never chase dogs; if you tell me to go east, I will never go west!" Deer Antlers clung to Qin Yiyi's leg and refused to let go.
Qin Yiyi, a pure-blooded human, was nowhere near as strong as this half-beast, Deer Horn!
She watched the flamingos walk in.
"Quick, throw him out! His snot is getting all over my legs!"
The flamingo's brows gleamed, and with a flap of its wings, a powerful gust of wind protected Qin Yiyi while simultaneously blowing away the deer's antlers.
She can't use her hands! Because she finds snot and stuff disgusting!
The flamingo apologized as soon as it entered.
"I'm sorry, it was my fault just now. I apologize. I will be at your service while I am staying in your territory!"
As she spoke, she took out the only thirty gold coins she had left.
"We would like to stay in your territory for thirty days, with only one meal a day. I wonder if that is permissible?"
Qin Yiyi sized her up; having eaten her food, she knew she would be conquered.
but....
"Thirty gold coins, thirty days and thirty meals, do you think I'm really doing charity?"
Flamingo blushed slightly. Indeed, such food would be snapped up for ten gold coins outside. She had asked for it with a sliver of hope, but they were truly broke, and her brother needed to recuperate for some time.
"Tell me what price you think is suitable, and please be lenient. You must have a meal every day. As for how many gold coins you are short, I will go out and earn the money for you as soon as the Yellow Sand Day is over!"
Qin Yiyi put her hands in her pockets and rolled her eyes.
"I want the machine you brought!"
