Chapter 7 The Otherworldly Potato Stew
On the way home, he smelled the aroma of food in front of a restaurant, and Zhang Zhen couldn't help but stop his e-Donkey.
After thinking for a while, he dialed Zhang Ke's phone number.
"Brother, you either knocked on the door or made a phone call. You told me not to disturb me!" As soon as the call was connected, Zhang Ke said in a tone of complaint and begging for mercy.
Zhang Zhen wanted to laugh after hearing this and said: "Sister, look at what time it is now?"
"Ah, it's almost 1 o'clock? Why does time pass so fast? Okay, I get it, I'll come out and cook right away."
"No!" Realizing that Zhang Ke was about to hang up, Zhang Yan quickly shouted to stop and said: "I happen to be outside, let's just buy something to eat. What do you want to eat?"
"It doesn't want spicy food, it needs meat. You can buy it as you see fit."
"OK."
Zhang Yan responded and was about to hang up, but he heard Zhang Ke shouting from the other side: "Hey, you are so kind-hearted all of a sudden. Could it be that you feel you don't have enough money?"
"Sister, am I the kind of person who wants money for doing something?"
"Aren't you?" Zhang Ke asked back.
Well, it seems to be true.
Zhang Zhen had nothing to say and said directly: "I'll be back soon, wait for dinner, sister."
After saying that, he hung up the phone and walked into the restaurant on the roadside that exuded an alluring aroma - based on his experience, this restaurant should have used ingredients from another world today.
"Boss, did you bring in otherworldly ingredients for cooking today?" Zhang Yan asked directly after entering.
"This little brother has a good nose. Yes, we got some pork and beef from another world today, potatoes, cabbage, oh, and vermicelli made from otherworldly sweet potatoes. Would you like some pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli?
?" The greasy middle-aged boss introduced to Zhang Yan with a smile.
If it were in the past, Zhang Zhen would be happy to eat pork. It's so economical.
But today he really couldn't bring himself to eat pork, so he asked, "What are the dishes made with beef?"
"There's only one dish, beef stew with potatoes."
"How much does it cost?"
"It's not expensive." The boss' fat face seemed to burst into laughter. He stretched out two fingers and said, "Two hundred for one portion, plus two bowls of rice."
Isn’t this expensive? Why don’t you grab it?
Zhang Yan didn't say this out loud because he knew that ingredients from other worlds are expensive. Blue Star beef costs sixty or seventy yuan per pound, and alien beef costs at least one hundred, sixty or seventy yuan per pound.
Moreover, these are cattle brought from Blue Star to another world for breeding. If they were cattle native to another world, the price would definitely be more than ten times more expensive.
If it is a "cow" native to another world and wild, then a pound of beef will probably be sold for tens of thousands!
Things from the other world are too valuable in Blue Star, so Zhang Yan is not stingy with money - as long as he can enter the martial arts academy and go to the other world in the future, it will be easy to make money.
In fact, even in Blue Star, as a young man, as long as he is willing to endure hardships, it is not difficult to make money.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhen said: "I want two portions of beef stew with potatoes, but you have to give me four bowls of rice."
"OK, no problem."
When the boss asked the kitchen to divide the dishes and pack them, Zhang Zhen silently paid 400 yuan with his mobile phone.
Soon, the boss came over personally carrying the packed meals.
In order to avoid being cheated, Zhang Yan opened the lunch box and took a look and confirmed that it was alien beef. The texture of alien beef was much denser than that of Blue Star beef. As for the alien potatoes, the color was brighter and seemed to be translucent after cooking.
Jelly-like.
But after reading it, Zhang Yan's expression changed.
The ingredients are correct, but the beef is too little. The two portions together are probably less than a pound.
And with the density of alien beef, there are almost only a handful of beef pieces in one dish!
The boss probably noticed Zhang Jing's expression, and immediately said with a smile: "Brother, don't think it's too little, the alien beef is weighed on a scale, and it's really expensive. Besides, we also have labor costs, transportation fees, etc., it's really
I didn’t make much money from you.”
Zhang Jing nodded, silently collected the packed food boxes, then looked at the boss and said seriously: "Uncle, I think you are too talented to be a restaurant owner."
"What do you mean?" Although it was a compliment, the boss didn't think Zhang Jing was praising him.
Zhang Zhen turned around and walked away without saying the next words.
Although the boss’s prices for otherworldly food are a bit exaggerated, he just wants to make money, so he can’t say anything too outrageous.
"What does this guy mean?" The boss was still trying to figure out Zhang Zhen's words as he watched Zhang Zhen go on the eDonkey.
A man dining in the store laughed and said, "That guy probably wants to say that bank robbery is more suitable for you."
The boss glared and thought to himself: MMP, isn't it just that the price has been inflated by dozens of dollars? How about it hurt me like this?
···
Probably because he was really hungry, Zhang Yan opened the door and entered the room. Zhang Ke came out of the room when he heard the sound.
"It smells so good. What did you buy?" Zhang Ke asked after taking the food box.
"An otherworldly version of beef stew with potatoes."
"Isn't this very expensive now? I saw the news a few days ago that the Sky Gate has recently reduced the share of private transportation... Oh! Why is there so much blood on your body?!" Zhang Ke couldn't help but notice the blood stains on Zhang Zhen's trouser legs.
asked nervously.
"It's pig blood." Zhang Zhen immediately said that he was going to the pig farm to kill pigs today.
Of course, it is also the same rhetoric as killing pigs to practice courage and murderous spirit.
"Are you stupid? Your physique has not been improved enough. How can you practice courage? Go change clothes and take a shower." As he spoke, Zhang Ke pushed Zhang Zhen towards the bathroom.
Zhang Zhen didn't explain much, took some clean clothes and went into the bathroom obediently.
Turning on the shower, Zhang Yan was not in a hurry to take a bath, but directly added two yellow dots to the meat attribute.
Suddenly, Zhang Yan felt warm all over his body, as if he was basking in the sun in the spring breeze of February or taking a hot bath in the cold winter. He was so comfortable that his head felt dizzy.
But then there was pain like twitching in the muscles all over his body, causing him to fall softly to the ground, convulsing all over.
Fortunately, this symptom also comes and goes quickly, and is over in less than ten seconds.
Zhang Zhen stood up and found that apart from the strong hunger feeling emanating from his body, there were no sequelae.
But thinking back to the experience of intense relief and intense pain, Zhang Yan was frightened for a moment - fortunately there were no sequelae, otherwise he might regret it.
Clenching his fists, Zhang Yan felt that his strength was obviously stronger than before.
After taking a look in the mirror, he seemed to have more muscles, but overall he looked a little thinner. The skin and flesh all over his body were clinging to the bones, giving him a lean and sturdy look.
In addition, although the dirty sweat on his body was not as much as when he added a little more the first time, it was still a bit sticky than when he added a little more.
Finally, Zhang Jingcai "looked" at the experience bar and energy bar on the system interface while rinsing his body.
After all this trouble, his experience bar and energy bar were emptied again, waiting to be filled up again.
The meat attribute has reached 50% of the first refinement...
Sitting down at the dinner table looking fresh and fresh, Zhang Yan opened the lunch box and noticed at a glance that there were more beef pieces than when he bought it, so he couldn't help but look at Zhang Ke.
"What are you looking at?" Zhang Ke glared over and snorted: "Beef from another world is too nourishing. If I eat too much, my nose will bleed. It will give you an advantage."
Zhang Jing saw Zhang Ke talking nonsense with his eyes open, but he did not expose it. Instead, he showed a bright smile, picked up the food box and ate it loudly.
However, he thought in his heart: Sister, one day I will let you really eat otherworldly meat until your nose bleeds.
