Chapter 154: Bad Luck, Shoddy Work
Zheng Yuan's expression darkened.
However, he didn't dare to refuse, and quickly adjusted his expression, said with a smile: "You are most welcome! Masters, please rest for a while, I will go to cook."
Zheng Yuan went to cook reluctantly.
By this time, a considerable amount of time had passed, and the players had been waiting impatiently, eager to see what extraordinary skills Zheng Yuan would learn.
"Zheng Yuan, where are Ji Ba and Ji Jiu? Are you still learning skills?"
"What happened?"
"Zheng Yuan, come out quickly! Are Ji Ba and Ji Jiu dismantling the ship?"
Zheng Yuan was very annoyed, but he had to pretend to be relaxed: "The two masters are very friendly. They are hanging out on my raft and we are having a good chat."
He would never reveal his predicament.
For this dinner, Zheng Yuan used all the rare supplies he had, such as wolf meat, mutton, vegetables, etc.
He has lived alone since he was a child and has good cooking skills, so he is very confident about his meals.
Since he didn't know what the two masters liked to eat and couldn't find out by asking, he had to cook some meat and some vegetables.
This meal cost a fortune.
When he put the food on the table, Ji Jiu's expression changed: "Is that all?"
Zheng Yuan was so frightened that he jumped back. What did he mean by "this is all the food"? He had cooked five dishes, including meat and vegetables, as well as a soup, steamed buns, and rice.
It’s already very rich!
Ji Ba touched Ji Jiu and said, "Alright, you know I'm a poor guy, just make do with what I have!"
Ji Jiu reluctantly picked up her chopsticks, looking disgusted: "What is this thing?"
Zheng Yuan's chopsticks were made of bamboo; they were quite ordinary, but durable.
Ji Jiu threw down her chopsticks: "I'm not eating anymore, it's disgusting!"
Ji Ba took a bite and put down his chopsticks: "It's bland, tasteless, inedible, forget it!"
Zheng Yuan was extremely terrified. His dinner was one of the most expensive in the entire sea world, but Ji Ba and Ji Jiu were not satisfied. What on earth did they usually eat?
Perhaps it's because he doesn't understand their preferences?
We still need introduction letters from both of them.
Helpless, Zheng Yuan shouted in the chat channel: "Does anyone have the introduction book for Ji Ba and Ji Jiu? I'll buy it at a high price!"
Lu Xingchen privately messaged him: "What can you exchange for?"
Zheng Yuan was overjoyed: "You have it?"
Lu Xingchen: "I'm afraid you can't afford it!"
Zheng Yuan thought about it carefully. He had been spending a lot lately and really didn't have anything to exchange. He could only say, "I still have a potted purple jade grape tree. Can I exchange it for their two documents?"
Lu Xingchen: "No, I have purple jade grapes, I don't need them. Do you have anything else?"
Zheng Yuan: "Wait!"
He quickly asked his younger brothers, but if there were any good things, they were all with him, and his younger brothers were all very poor.
After asking around for a while, I still couldn't find any treasure.
Helpless, Zheng Yuan could only promise Lu Xingchen: "I don't have it now, but I've always been lucky. When I get to the island and find some good treasures, I'll give it to you, okay?"
Lu Xingchen: "Ah, never mind then!"
Zheng Yuan was anxious: "Lu Xingchen, I apologize to you for what happened before. You must help me this time. I...at worst, I will listen to you from now on."
He couldn't bring himself to say what it meant to be Lu Xingchen's younger brother.
Lu Xingchen chuckled.
She had no intention of telling Zheng Yuan anything, she just wanted to trick him to see if he had any good treasures, and if so, she would find a way to get them.
It turns out that Zheng Yuan is so poor and worthless!
Lu Xingchen ignored him.
Zheng Yuan said all the nice things he could, but Lu Xingchen said nothing.
At this time, Xia Xiaoyu chatted with him privately: "I have some information about Ji Ba and Ji Jiu. What can you give me in exchange?"
Zheng Yuan had nothing, so he had to continue to make big promises.
Xia Xiaoyu: "Oh, forget it, our boss won't let us do business that will lose money!"
She was also assigned by Qin Wuchuan to investigate Zheng Yuan's situation.
Zheng Yuan returned empty-handed.
He was depressed and helpless.
When the light screen was turned off, Ji Ba and Ji Jiu glared at him angrily.
