"Pah! What a piece of junk!"
It tastes like gnawing on wood chips! And it's compressed? Even compressed, the texture is still so bad!
Is this what you, the people of later generations, eat? So poor and pathetic!
Zhang Shaozhong rolled his eyes as he munched on a biscuit:
"You two are lucky to have anything to eat!"
This stuff is for emergencies, it'll stave off hunger!
Efficiency is the priority! Not taste! Do you think this is a Manchu Han Imperial Feast?
What exactly is the Manchu Han Imperial Feast?
Ling Qingxue noticed the new vocabulary and asked the question subconsciously, but regretted it as soon as she asked and immediately put on a stern face.
"Uh...it's a big meal with lots and lots of dishes..."
Zhang Shaozhong explained.
"After we get down the mountain, I'll take you guys to eat... uh... KFC?"
He regretted it as soon as he finished speaking. He imagined Ling Qingxue sitting upright and eating a hamburger, and it was too beautiful to look at.
"What kind of chicken are you eating?"
Night Enchantress looked at him with disdain.
"The name itself sounds vulgar and crude!"
Despite their obvious disgust, driven by intense hunger, the two bosses finally frowned and, with great difficulty, ate their compressed biscuits, sipping them slowly with the "bland and tasteless" mineral water.
After eating, the intense hunger was indeed relieved quite a bit, and my body regained some strength.
Ling Qingxue felt a solid sense of fullness in her stomach, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
These mundane things, though coarse and hard to swallow, can still fill one's stomach... She had to admit that.
Night Enchantress, meanwhile, shook the remaining half-bottle of water with a disgruntled expression.
"This water can only quench thirst; it has no spiritual energy whatsoever. If you drink too much, you'll probably turn into a mortal!"
“We’re not much different from ordinary people now, big sister.”
Zhang Shaozhong muttered something under his breath, earning him a murderous glare from Ye Meier.
Just then, another hiker pulled out several energy bars from his bag:
"I also have chocolate-flavored energy bars here, they're sweet, ladies, would you like to try some?"
Looking at the energy bars with their more elaborate packaging, Ling Qingxue and Ye Meier once again showed expressions of wariness and suspicion.
"Chocolate? What's that?"
"Energy bars? They sound more like some kind of crude weapon than food!"
"Sweet? Could it be honey? Such a cheap thing, and you dare to offer it to..."
Zhang Shaozhong quickly interrupted their potentially frightening, aristocratic remarks, snatched the energy bar, and thanked them repeatedly.
"Thank you, thank you! They're from the mountains, they're not well-traveled, they've never seen these new things before, I'll let them try them!"
He tore open the packaging, took a bite, and looked utterly delighted.
"Mmm! Delicious! Sweet!"
Watching his exaggerated performance, Ling Qingxue and Ye Meier were skeptical, but under the temptation of "sweetness," they each accepted one.
After carefully taking a small bite, their expressions turned strange again.
"...overly sweet, sticky, and weird."
Ling Qingxue commented, but the chewing speed seemed a little too fast.
"Hmph, this is probably the kind of sweet-coated poison that the demonic sect uses to bewitch people."
Ye Meier snorted, but took a second bite.
Watching these two criticize modern industrial food with sharp tongues while honestly eating it, Zhang Shaozhong couldn't help but think to himself:
The "it smells so good" principle seems to be a universal truth that transcends time and space!
After filling their stomachs and resting for a while, the group set off again.
Although I was still physically exhausted, at least I had the strength.
The two big shots no longer exuded the same oppressive aura of "I want to destroy the world" all the time. Although they still disliked each other and everything in the modern world, at least... they were quiet for the time being.
Zhang Shaozhong breathed a slight sigh of relief. It seemed that feeding them was one of the effective ways to appease these two ancient ferocious beasts.
I just don't know how I'll feed these two picky eaters after we come down the mountain... Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
