Chapter 004: Profiteers
Jiang Ran was holding the soup bowl to eat, but one bowl was not enough, she touched her still flat belly, and felt that it was probably, one, two, three...... Well, ten bowls are about the same.
But the stove didn't seem to fit ten bowls at once, and she was so tired that she wanted to sleep.
She urgently needed to go back to her soft white cloud bed and get some good sleep.
But with a full burp, she suddenly woke up.
Where is there any endless meal, where is there any white cloud bed, now you have to cook by yourself and sleep?
She looked at the Zhou family's tattered and leaky room, and felt that there was probably no soft bed left.
Woooooooo
There was a thunder, and she was so frightened that she quickly covered her mouth.
I almost forgot that crying in the mortal world will thunder and rain.
This shabby house can't help it.
I had to suppress my emotions, silently, forced the tears back into my eyes, and the lightning and thunder disappeared.
At the door, the faces of Zhou Chengan and the three boys suddenly lit up the moment they retracted with the lightning, and Jiang Ran screamed in fright.
"Ghost ......"
Zhou Cheng'an and the three boys glanced at each other, only to realize that Jiang Ran was frightened by them just now, but when did she become so bold? Could it be that you have done too many bad things, and you are afraid of thunder?
Remembering how she had been when she had first returned, they unanimously agreed with this view.
"Grandma, who are you scaring when you stand here in the middle of the night?! Isn't it boring! As soon as Jiang Ran opened her mouth, she was still in the tone of the original owner, which made her a little uncomfortable after not speaking for a while.
"That, we want to discuss with you, see if we can, even out a little, to Niannian, Niannian said that she was hungry, and her health was not very good......"
Zhou Yuan, who was still the eldest son, had the courage to make a request, and when he spoke, he tried to look behind Jiang Ran, and when he saw that the pot and bowl were empty, his eyes showed loss.
"Niannian?"
Jiang Ran looked at the three or four people who were about to turn around and leave, and suddenly reacted, this is the original host is hungry, yes, the original host's body has always been not very good, if she accidentally starves to death and dies of illness, then her mission will fail.
She still felt in her heart that although she was wearing the wrong one, it was written on the original task that it was to help Zhou Nian regain her luck before the mission was over, so if she used the identity of this vicious stepmother to help the original host take back her luck, would it also be counted?
Holding this little whisper, she still hurriedly spoke.
"Wait," she hurriedly shouted, and when the four of them turned their heads to look at her in unison, she quickly said in the tone of the original owner: "That, the old lady can't eat it anyway......"
Looking at the strange eyes of the four people, she remembered that she had already eaten and licked it clean, so she stuck out her tongue in annoyance, and said in a scathing tone: "I mean, anyway, the old lady is in a good mood today, so I will do more, but if the old lady does it, you have to eat clean, if you can't eat it, don't blame the old lady for being polite." ”
In the strange eyes of the four people, Jiang Ran repeated the previous operation again.
Fortunately, the ingredients that were taken out of the space before have not been put back in.
I estimated the number of people in the family, as well as the amount of food for each person, a whole big pot of noodles, fried a few eggs on top, sprinkled a handful of chopped green onions, and dripped a few drops of sesame oil.
Smelling the smell, she wanted to cook ten more bowls, but unfortunately, she didn't seem to know much about the amount of food in her body.
I really want to eat it, but why do I feel like I can't stuff it in after taking a bite?
When she raised her head, she saw that she was still lame and stupid, holding her chopsticks and not moving, she only felt that she had been insulted.
"Your grandmother's, doesn't it mean that she is not in good health and needs to supplement her nutrition? What did the old lady say before doing it, you worked hard, if you don't eat it cleanly, the old lady will peel off your skin! ”
The familiar tone sounded, and several people woke up like a dream.
Zhou Yuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva with the fragrant noodles, and without saying hello, he ran out neatly and went straight to Zhou Nian's house.
Jiang Ran's face relaxed slightly, he looked at the big bowl in front of him, thought about it, grabbed his chopsticks and tried it, but he still couldn't eat it, forget it, don't embarrass himself, remembering the Rugou who was scared by himself not long ago, he took the bowl and went straight over.
When she left the stove room, Zhou Cheng'an, Zhou Er, and Zhou Shen dared to gasp loudly and speak in a low voice.
"Dad, isn't there no food in our family? Where did this white flour come from? ”
"This doesn't need to be asked, it must have been the poisonous woman who secretly hid it."
"Yes, then why did she suddenly become so good, did she really dare to eat? I don't think she even ate it just now? ”
"No, Niannian?"
When the two little ones were still worried, when they looked up, they saw that their father had already eaten all the bowls, and they cast their eyes on the remaining half of the pot, thinking about what the woman said, if they don't eat cleanly, they will peel off the skin!
He poked Zhou Er with his elbow.
"Second brother, go and serve another bowl to Dad?"
Zhou Er glanced at the bowl that was licked clean in front of his father in disbelief, and opened his mouth in a daze.
"Daddy? Is it tasty? Aren't you afraid of being poisoned? ”
"Silly son, she did it in front of us, where is the chance to poison."
Zhou Er nodded, paused again, and then took the bowl in his father's hand again, and was about to go to give it to his father, but suddenly remembered something, and when he looked back, Zhou Shen had already finished eating and had already begun to fish for the second bowl.
Oh my boy, he hasn't eaten yet.
"Dad, you can go and Sheng yourself."
Then he grabbed the chopsticks and ate them.
Zhou Chengan looked at the two sons who were rarely able to let go of eating, and thought of the days of his sons before, and couldn't help but cry.
"Dad, don't cry, I'll go get it for you."
After Zhou Shen finished fishing, he saw his father secretly wiping his tears, so he hurriedly handed his bowl to his father and took his father's bowl for himself.
glanced at the noodles in the pot, thinking that the eldest brother had gone to feed Niannian, so he only fished out half a bowl.
Then take the rest to the eldest brother, a big bowl full of it.
looked at the second brother who hadn't eaten enough, and gave half of his small bowl to the second brother.
……
Jiang Ran watched the dog finish eating, and then came back with the bowl, looking at the dog eating happily, and stretched out her tongue to lick her hand, she thought with satisfaction, it seems that her cooking skills are also satisfied, I don't know how many there are at home?
When she returned to the stove room, she saw that the stove room was empty, and the stove room had been cleaned up, as if she had done nothing.
Oh my God, these people aren't fed?
Is this a licking of all the pots?
Looking at the flour bag and oil drum that had already gone halfway down, she remembered something, and quickly took advantage of no one to pay attention, and pinched a trick into the space.
When she drank the northwest wind to live her life before, she still felt that these rice, oil, grain and noodles were too eye-catching in the space, but now, after calculating it, it is only one meal that goes down so much.
There are three meals a day in the world, and if you do the math, I am afraid that within ten days, the food in these worlds in her space will be gone.
By the way, it seems that you can exchange some with space elves.
"Hey, space elf, come out to the old lady, that ......"
"Dear master, is there something wrong with the elf?"
The space elf couldn't get used to her tone for a while, and for a moment, she looked a little aggrieved.
"That, that's not the point, that, let me ask you, I remember if you told me before, you can use merit points to exchange things, you hurry up and help me check, my current merit points, how much rice, flour, grain and oil can be exchanged for something?"
"Well, the space elf helped the master check, and the master still has 150 million merit points left, and if you exchange it for rice, flour, grain and oil, it is about 1,000 catties of rice, 1,000 catties of noodles, and 500 catties of oil."
"A thousand pounds? How much is that? Jiang Ran didn't know much about these units, so he thought about it, pointed to a bag in the space and asked, "How much is this bag?" ”
"That's about a hundred pounds."
"What? A hundred pounds? Jiang Ran opened her mouth wide, looking incredulous, she used up about a quarter of this meal, that is, twenty catties, twenty catties for this meal, three meals a day, that is, sixty catties, so this hundred catties can be eaten for less than two days.
She has so many merit points, and she can only eat for less than a month.
God, spare me, will you?
She held her heart in disbelief, thinking that the elf must be playing a joke on herself.
She earned these merit points by taking dozens of tasks, and if they were exchanged for resources, they would allow her to cultivate for hundreds of years.
That's it?
"Master, you must know that this is the year of famine in the world, and the so-called one bite of food is more expensive than a mouthful of gold. And the master is now in the world, so naturally it must be calculated according to the price of the world. ”
"Profiteers." For the first time, Jiang Ran felt that the elves were not cute at all.
"Master, this is not what the elf said, it is based on system statistics, master, I wonder if the master wants to exchange it?"
"If you don't change it, you won't change it if you die, and I won't change it if you die."
Jiang Ran was so frightened that he hugged the elf, lest it be dizzy for a while, so he waved his big hand and changed it.
She's here to do tasks to earn merit points, and she hasn't earned anything, so she spends money, damn!
"Master? Elves think you don't love elves anymore? The elf blinked with big black eyes, and looked like he was about to cry at any moment.
"The old lady hasn't cried yet!" Jiang Ran really wanted to cry, but even in the space, he could feel the lightning and rain that were gathering sharply, and he was so frightened that he immediately took a deep breath to adjust his mood.
Damn, this broken world, everything is expensive, and you can't cry casually.
Oops!
