"This is crude and inedible."
But she only ate half of that steamed bun before putting it down, clearly not having much of an appetite.
Zhang Shaozhong looked at the porridge and steamed buns that were still more than half left, and then at Ye Meier, who was devouring the whole spicy hot pot and two servings of rice. He felt it was a bit wasteful.
"Fairy, are you really not going to eat more?"
He asked tentatively.
Ling Qingxue shook her head:
"No need."
By this time, Ye Meier had devoured all the meat and vegetables in the hot pot, not even leaving any broth behind, and finished it off with the last bit of rice.
She licked her lips, still savoring the moment, and touched her still flat stomach, complaining:
"The taste is alright, but the portion is too small! It's not even enough to fill a tooth gap! Kid, order another one!"
Zhang Shaozhong looked at the pile of empty boxes on the table, then at the bill on his phone, and almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
He barely ate any of the spicy hot pot and two servings of rice; almost all of it went into Ye Meier's stomach!
Is this woman's stomach a bottomless pit?!
"Big...Big sister...you...you're not full?"
Zhang Shaozhong's voice was trembling.
"Nonsense! How much is this? I used to be able to eat a whole roasted rhinoceros in one sitting!"
Night Enchantress said matter-of-factly.
Zhang Shaozhong:
"..." What the heck is Lingxi?! It sounds like it can eat a lot!
He had a long face:
"But... I'm out of money... This meal cost almost a hundred..."
He shook his phone, and the balance notification was alarming.
Upon hearing this, Ling Qingxue glanced at the pile of empty boxes, then at Zhang Shaozhong's near-bankruptcy expression, paused for a moment, and then surprisingly pushed her half-bowl of porridge and the remaining steamed buns towards him.
"If...if you don't mind, these..."
Zhang Shaozhong was stunned for a moment, looking at the porridge and buns that the fairy had touched. He was flattered but also felt a pang of sadness.
Ye Meier also peeked at Zhang Shaozhong's phone balance and pouted:
"So little money? What can you do with that? You people of later generations are so stingy!"
Zhang Shaozhong wanted to cry but had no tears:
"You two! Do you think money is so easy to earn?! I'm supporting both of you with my living expenses right now!"
Looking at Ling Qingxue's barely touched food and Ye Meier's lingering expression, a terrible thought surged into his mind!
At this rate, he won't be able to save enough money to get them their visas, let alone survive the week!
Ling Qingxue seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem as well. She pondered for a moment and looked at Zhang Shaozhong:
"How much money could you earn in a day setting up a medical stall like yesterday...?"
Zhang Shaozhong did the calculations:
"Yesterday... about two hundred... but I was lucky, and I almost got caught..."
"two hundred?"
Ling Qingxue seemed lost in thought. Ye Meier's eyes lit up:
"Two hundred a day? That's two thousand in ten days? That seems... not a small amount?"
Looking at these two big shots who seemed to finally have some concept of money and numbers, Zhang Shaozhong felt his future was even bleaker.
His wallet, and his sanity, were both groaning in agony.
