Chapter 162 What a Delicious Food!
"Milo! Come here~" Yufei's spicy and sour chicken giblets were ready, and a tangy and spicy aroma wafted out of the lunchbox as soon as it was opened.
Miler swallowed hard and quickly went to Yufei's side, waiting for her to feed him.
Yufei picked out a small piece of chili from the spicy and sour chicken giblets and handed it to Miler, letting her experience the fiery heat from Earth.
Miler stared at the small red thing, her eyes questioning Yufei, "Is this for her?" Her mouth watered uncontrollably at the smell of the sour and spicy flavor.
"Try it. You asked what spicy is, right? Try it and you'll know. If you can't handle it, just drink this beverage." Yufei pushed a glass of Coca-Cola in front of Miler.
After getting Yufei's permission, she ate the red chili pepper on Yufei's chopsticks in one bite. This chili pepper wasn't an ordinary variety.
Instead, it's the finest chili pepper from Xiangcheng, the facing-heaven pepper! Just one small piece of facing-heaven pepper in the mouth, and you can see Miler's wheat-colored skin turn a dark red.
She opened her mouth wide and kept "ha! ha! ha!" and then started running, hoping that the movement would let air into her mouth to relieve the spiciness.
After running for a while, she realized the pungent taste in her mouth hadn't improved at all. She suddenly remembered eating that red thing that Yufei called chili pepper.
She couldn't stand drinking that beverage anymore, so she ran over and drank it all in one gulp.
"Ah! So refreshing!" The ice-cold Coca-Cola greatly relieved the pungent taste in my mouth, and the aroma of chili peppers began to emerge, accompanied by the savory oil of the chicken giblets.
This taste experience was something Miler had never had before. Mmm! Delicious!
Then her mouth started watering again; she wanted more food. ⊙▽⊙
Miler followed her heart and looked longingly at Yufei, hoping that Yufei would feed her a few more bites of this spicy stuff.
Yufei was never stingy when it came to food; she gave her self-heating meal of spicy and sour chicken giblets to Miler.
He then took out a serving of spicy and sour chicken giblets from the dimensional space and reheated it.
While it was hot, I watched Miler laughing and chuckling nonstop, stuffing his mouth with spicy and sour chicken giblets and occasionally taking a sip of Coca-Cola.
Miler felt like she was ascending to heaven. The spiciness was simply amazing; the more she ate, the more she wanted, and she couldn't stop.
Furthermore, this dish called Spicy and Sour Chicken Gizzards was far more flavorful than any other meal she had ever eaten. She didn't know how to describe it, so she could only sum it up in two words: Delicious!
"Don't just eat this spicy and sour chicken giblets, try your scrambled eggs with tomatoes too?"
"Mmm! Mmm," Miler replied to Yufei's words and dipped her spoon back into the tomato and egg lunchbox.
She scooped up a spoonful and put it in her mouth, her watery eyes shining even brighter.
"Mmm~ This is so delicious!" The rich egg flavor combined with this red thing made her mouth water, leaving a lingering aftertaste. This was a little different from the spicy and sour chicken giblets that Sister Yufei had given her.
Although it wasn't spicy, she couldn't stop eating it and finished both servings of self-heating rice. She patted her round belly and felt a sense of satisfaction.
She couldn't help but think how happy she would be if she could eat these things from now on. The other nine people were eating something different from hers. Were they eating something else?
"Sister~ It's so delicious! I'm so happy, I wish I could eat this forever~ Could you sell me some?"
Miler boldly expressed her thoughts. She had known since she was a child that she must strive for what she wanted.
Striving doesn't guarantee success, but not striving guarantees failure. She looked at Yufei with sparkling eyes, awaiting Yufei's answer.
Through these few hours of interaction, she had realized that this group revolved around the woman in front of her, and that she was essentially the one making the decisions.
And they... probably don't have any money, and they want to make money, so Mile figured they probably wouldn't refuse her request.
In that brief moment, Miler's mind raced through a thousand thoughts. Just as Miler had imagined, Yufei and the others needed the currency of this world.
Furthermore, Miler was the first person they met in this world who introduced them to the world and spread kindness to them, so they were willing to form a positive connection with him.
To be honest, no matter how you prepare self-heating rice, it's never really delicious, let alone exceptionally tasty.
She never expected that Miler would find it so delicious; now she knows pretty much what the food here is like.
Yufei wondered if she should open a fast food restaurant or something to earn some extra money. She figured the technology in this world wasn't much more advanced than on Earth, and they didn't need to make a lot of money quickly.
She had already made her plan when she saw the promotional video. When Miler said that their summoned beasts were summoned through a summoning circle...
With a summoning circle in this city, her plan became even more complete. Using the summoning circle cost money; they needed to earn enough to allow ten of them to enter the summoning circle first.
I'll go participate in that Pet Battle Cup to broaden my horizons, and maybe sell some boxed lunches to earn some money for my next trip here.
Yufei nodded and asked, "How many do you want to buy?"
After thinking it over, Yufei decided to do Miler a favor, without intending to make any money off her.
"Each serving of these self-heating rice costs 12 yuan. How many servings do you need?"
"Twenty servings, please," Miler thought for a moment. It was almost the end of the month, and after paying for the rice balls, she didn't have much money left.
She can buy 20 portions for now, then resell a few at a higher price to recoup some of the losses, and then buy more from them – that would be perfect.
Or we can discuss with Sister Yufei about them relying on their skills, with her providing the venue and collaborating with them to run food delivery services.
Anyway, the Pet Battle Cup is still a few days away~ I'll participate in the Pet Battle Cup then, and if she wins a prize and earns money, I'll buy it from Sister Yufei, perfect.
Yufei, unaware of Miler's many ideas, nodded and ordered Miler a serving of self-heating rice in various flavors.
"Is there anywhere to store this? It's not very durable," Yufei thought. If Miler didn't have a place to store it, she could keep it with her for now, and Miler could just come and get it whenever she wanted.
Miler nodded, indicating that she did. Yufei handed Miler 20 boxes of rice, totaling 240 yuan.
Miler took out 240 yuan in cash from her wallet and handed it to Yufei.
"Wow~ No wonder this little guy is called Rice Ball, he can really eat!" Gangzi looked at Rice Ball with a curious expression. Rice Ball had already eaten more than 10 bamboo shoots and was still not full.
He didn't even eat his meal, and instead asked Captain Lei for a dozen bamboo shoots, wanting to see where the rice ball's appetite limit was.
Gangzi's words caught Miler and Yufei's attention, and their gazes also focused on the rice ball.
"Gangzi, Rice Ball is new to this and doesn't know when it's full. Don't overfeed it!" Yufei could tell how much Rice Ball had eaten just by looking at the bamboo shoot leaves scattered all over the ground.
Yufei was worried that eating too many rice balls might cause health problems, so she anxiously nagged Gangzi to be careful.
Before Gangzi could reply, Fantuan patted his stomach and let out a "yah" sound.
Miler then smiled and said, "It's okay! Sister Yufei, Miler just said it wasn't even three-tenths full, and it could eat a hundred or so of these."
Then, Miler said to Fantuan in an annoyed tone, "So you used to hide the food when I fed you?!"
"Yah"
(Just so you know)
"Then I should thank you."
