Chapter 114 Qu Cai
Nie Changping turned around and asked the servant.
"How much dry food do we have left?"
The servant said with a bitter face, "It's all eaten."
Nie Changping was stubborn and refused to admit defeat. He gritted his teeth and said, "I won't eat any staple food tonight. I'll only eat meat! Give me a big plate of bacon!"
Except for him, everyone else said they wanted to eat staple food, even if it was only corn tortillas, it was better than eating dry bacon.
Xiao Xixi ordered an extra bowl of sauerkraut soup.
The waiter brought the food out quickly.
The corn tortillas were dry and hard, and were difficult to swallow for them who were used to eating refined grains.
Nie Changping burst into laughter when he saw them frowning while eating cakes.
"Luckily I didn't order the tortillas, I knew they would taste terrible!"
But soon he couldn't laugh anymore.
The bacon was sliced thinly and fried without any other side dishes or seasonings, and it tasted dry and salty.
He couldn't eat anymore after a few bites and kept asking for water.
The servant quickly handed him tea.
Xiao Xixi reminded him, "A pot of tea costs one penny, so you better drink sparingly."
Nie Changping looked up at her and saw her tearing the corn tortilla into small pieces and soaking them in the sauerkraut soup. The originally dry and hard corn tortillas became much softer after absorbing the soup.
She took out a bowl of softened corn cakes and pushed it in front of the prince.
Then she held the porcelain bowl in front of her and began to eat the biscuits and bacon with relish.
Nie Changping didn't expect there was such a way to eat it.
He called the waiter and ordered himself a bowl of sauerkraut soup and some corn tortillas.
Because a lot of water is added to the sauerkraut soup, it is the most expensive of all the dishes.
Fortunately, these people are not short of money, so they have to drink the soup even though it is expensive, otherwise they will not be able to swallow the corn tortillas.
When Xiao Xixi saw Nie Changping eating the corn tortilla, she stretched out her claws without hesitation and dragged the entire plate of bacon in front of him.
"Little Prince, you lose. All this bacon is mine."
Nie Changping struggled and said, "You can't finish all this meat. I'll help you share some of it."
Xiao Xixi giggled: "No, even if I can't finish it this time, I can save it for the next meal. Bacon can be kept for a long time anyway."
Nie Changping wanted the waiter to bring another plate of bacon.
Xiao Xixi kindly reminded him, "According to our bet, all the bacon you have tonight belongs to me. Even if you bring a few more plates of bacon, you still have to give them to me in the end. You won't get to eat a single piece of meat."
Only then did Nie Changping react.
There is actually such a pit hidden!
He said angrily: "With your ability, it's really a waste of your talent to be a eunuch."
Xiao Xixi said as she ate, "I accept your compliment, but I won't share the bacon with you."
Nie Changping: “…”
He gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want your bacon!"
Luo Qinghan calmly finished the rough meal in the bowl.
Although the taste is still as bad as before, at least it can fill my stomach.
The next morning.
Xiao Nan came back with Xing'er.
Xing'er's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she looked even more miserable and pitiful than before.
Yesterday she returned to her cousin's house. When her cousin and aunt saw her for the first time, they were very surprised and kept asking her how she got back.
Xing'er didn't want to pay attention to them, she just wanted to see her grandfather.
But her uncle and aunt refused to let her go. They suspected that Xing'er had escaped. They were afraid that Xing'er would bring trouble to their family, so they planned to tie her up and send her back to the county government office.
Fortunately, Xiao Nan acted in time and knocked out his uncle and aunt and locked them in the woodshed.
