Chapter 30 Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee
The pheasant asked cautiously, "Can I...can I go now?"
Having obtained the information she wanted, Meng Qingyin had no intention of dealing with it any further. She waved her hand and said, "Then we'll meet again next time."
The pheasant stiffened and muttered under its breath, "Who wants to say goodbye to you..."
Meng Qingyin heard its soft grumbling, but didn't want to argue with it, so she pretended not to hear it.
Soon, the pheasant left.
Meng Qingyin immediately opened the trading platform and searched for honey, but no players had listed honey for sale.
She didn't dare to openly buy honey in the chat area at this time.
[White Fox] just mentioned in the management group that traveling merchants like honey, and now she's going to collect honey. It's hard not to think something's up.
Having no other option, Meng Qingyin had to settle for second best and search for candy, but to her surprise, she couldn't even find any candy results.
There are people selling white sugar, but she has white sugar herself, so she doesn't need to buy it from others.
After thinking for a while, she searched for keywords such as cake, donut, and chocolate, and even egg tarts and pudding, but there were no results!
Meng Qingyin was a little worried. Should she use white sugar to attract traveling merchants?
White sugar isn't anything rare, so traveling merchants probably wouldn't even look at it.
She was at her wits' end, so she sent Little Ai Elf out to look for supply boxes, hoping she might be able to find one.
Moreover, she didn't know when the traveling merchants would arrive, so she was determined to continue on her journey.
After an afternoon, Meng Qingyin found three more supply boxes.
Today's target mileage has been achieved. There are still 8km to the next supply box on the map, and the battery level is 68%. In order to save power, Meng Qingyin decided not to continue walking.
After parking the car, she opened three ordinary supply boxes without much hope.
There were no surprises; I got a small amount of upgrade materials and a few steamed buns, but nothing else.
Helpless, Meng Qingyin disassembled the box and sat back in the passenger seat, looking worried.
Without sweets, how is she going to attract traveling merchants?
Even with the heart of a night demon, the traveling merchants wouldn't come.
Suddenly, a chat message popped up.
When Meng Qingyin opened the chat window, she saw that someone had tagged her in the chat.
Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee: "Holy crap, there are suddenly so many little cockroaches in my electric car! They're so dense and terrifying! @Mengmeng, there's something wrong with the stuff you're selling!"
Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee: "So many things in my car have been ruined by cockroaches, except for one intact cream cake that's still edible! @Mengmeng, you have to pay me back!"
I was speechless: "Huh? Are you sure the cockroaches in your car are because of something Mengmeng sold you?"
Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee: "I'm so sure! My car is always very clean. It's only because I bought Mengmeng's cheap stuff that cockroaches started appearing. It must be because of him! I should have known better than to buy those cheap things!"
I'm an unlucky player: "Surely not? Mengmeng is a well-known figure in our region, she wouldn't sell something with cockroaches, would she?"
Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee: "Are you implying that I'm slandering him? My car is crawling with cockroaches right now. Would I really go so far as to ruin my car like this to slander him?"
I'm unlucky: "That's not what I meant. I meant, is there some misunderstanding between you two?"
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Yeah, there must be some misunderstanding. I don't think Boss Meng is that kind of person."
Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee: "@Mengmeng, I'm willing to listen to his explanation, but he doesn't even dare to come out and confront me. What misunderstanding could there be?"
The wealthy man said, "I support the congee with preserved egg and lean pork! Mengmeng must be feeling guilty, otherwise why wouldn't he dare to come out and explain? If there's a real misunderstanding, wouldn't it be better to just clarify it? The fact that he's cowering and doesn't dare to come out says it all."
Watermelon Peel: "Exactly. If you haven't done anything wrong, why not just deny it? The fact that you've remained silent means you have something to hide and are afraid to speak up."
Seeing these messages, Meng Qingyin wasn't too angry.
She directly messaged me with "century egg and lean pork congee".
She felt it was necessary to clarify this matter with the person who made the "century egg and lean pork congee".
Moreover, "Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee" has what she needs.
Mengmeng: "Hi, I saw your message in the chat area. Let's chat privately."
Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee: "So you saw it! I thought you were too guilty to come to me. [Image] Look at yourself, my car is full of cockroaches! It's all your fault!"
Meng Qingyin clicked on the photo, and then wished she could gouge out her own eyes.
Mengmeng: "I sympathize with what happened to you, but I feel that I have fulfilled my obligation to inform you. You still bought my things, so the responsibility is not entirely mine, is it?"
Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee: "Inform me? When did you inform me? If you had informed me, would I have left these things in my car? Let me tell you, don't even think about shirking your responsibility!"
Mengmeng: "I already made a note. I wrote that the items might have been crawled on by cockroaches, and that I sold them at a price significantly lower than the market price. You didn't object when you bought them, but now you're criticizing me. That's unreasonable, isn't it?"
The food that was initially ordered was all in sealed packaging, and the water was also bottled and unopened.
Instead of throwing it away, it's better to sell it at a low price to people in need, since there are definitely many people who lack water and food.
A bottle of water and a bag of food only require one upgrade material, which is already the cheapest price imaginable.
And she had already made a note of it.
In this situation, the fact that "Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee" still exchanged her things indicates that he knew and didn't mind the cockroaches crawling on them.
If that's the case, why is he still stirring up trouble in the chat area?
After Meng Qingyin sent this message, the other party did not reply for a long time.
Meng Qingyin felt that the other party had nothing to say, after all, she was in the right and had no fear of him.
Meng Qingyin waited a while longer, and finally "Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee" sent a message.
This time, the voice message she sent sounded like a girl's.
Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee: "I'm sorry, Mengmeng. I just checked the transaction records on the trading platform and found that you really did make a note. I just didn't see it, which led to the cockroach infestation in the car. I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. I'll go to the chat area to explain the situation to everyone in a bit."
On the highway at that moment, a girl with a high ponytail looked guilty.
She didn't read the notes carefully when she exchanged food and water with "Mengmeng".
I just thought the food and water were cheap, and I bought them because all I needed was one upgrade material.
She usually likes to hoard food, and this has become even more so after entering this game, so naturally she can't let go of such cheap food.
After buying it, she put it in the box in the back seat and didn't eat it. She had other foods that were more prone to spoilage, so she planned to stock up on these vacuum-packed foods.
Who knew that I would suddenly find a small cockroach this afternoon.
