200: There are indeed new items on the menu

“Oh, sister-in-law, just take it if I’m giving it to you.” Zheng Jinfeng interrupted her, not letting her continue.

“I…”

Zhao Jie truly didn’t know what to say. Perhaps her emotions from earlier hadn’t fully vented, and now, touched, she started tearing up again.

“Sister-in-law, what’s wrong? Please don’t cry.” Zheng Jinfeng quickly helped Zhao Jie sit down. “No matter how hard things are for us, we can’t let the children suffer, right? The children need to eat meat for nutrition, otherwise how will they grow tall?”

Zhao Jie, of course, understood this principle, but if her own family didn’t have money to buy meat, why would… “Jinfeng, my heart is bitter.” Zhao Jie wanted to stop her tears, but whenever someone was kind to her, she just wanted to pour out all her grievances.

Zheng Jinfeng patted Zhao Jie’s back with a pained expression and said, “I know, I know it all.”

How could her own heart not be bitter?

Chu Feiyue was gone. She trained diligently every day. If her body couldn’t truly bear it, she would rather go sleepless.

Because once she was idle, she couldn’t help but think of Chu Feiyue.

Thinking of all the beautiful times they had spent together.

But what was the use of thinking?

People still had to live on.

Wang Dapeng came out of the room after putting the child down. Seeing this scene, he completely forgot what he was going to say. He opened his mouth, but in the end, said nothing and turned back into the room.

Let the two sisters have some time alone.

Zhao Jie talked a lot with Zheng Jinfeng, and finally stopped crying. Zheng Jinfeng then proposed to leave.

“Thank you for listening to me. If it weren’t for your help these past few days, I, I…” Zhao Jie almost choked up again as she spoke.

Zheng Jinfeng quickly stopped her, saying, “We are all neighbors living on the same street, and my Lao Chu… at that time, Brother Peng also paid a lot. It’s only because we were born into a poor background and in an era where lives are cheapest that we are so unfortunate.”

The words she spoke seemed to not only comfort Zhao Jie but also herself.

“Alright, sister-in-law, don’t see me off. I still have things to do. You go back.”

“Okay.” Zhao Jie saw her to the door and then stood there watching her leave.

Only after Zheng Jinfeng’s figure completely disappeared from her sight did she come back to her senses.

“She left?” Wang Dapeng asked.

“Mhm.” Zhao Jie sighed, turning her head. She wished so much that she could become a martial artist like Zheng Jinfeng.

That way, Wang Dapeng wouldn’t have to earn all the money to support the family by himself.

Two people earning money together would always be faster.

Wang Dapeng knew her concerns. He wouldn’t say anything pleasant, only tightly held Zhao Jie’s hand: “Let’s go, we’ll go back.”

“Mhm.” Zhao Jie nodded, picked up the vegetable basket from the stone table, and entered the house with Wang Dapeng… Forest Inner Circle.

【Destination reached. Passengers, please alight.】

Feng Zhi and Ge Yunying’s travel time was the normal fifteen minutes, and it quickly ended. They got off together and followed behind, waiting for Wang Yi and Gu Mingzhu to alight.

“I didn’t expect the green train to change so much, it actually added a VIP carriage,” Feng Zhi couldn’t help but exclaim.

Ge Yunying nodded, wanting to say something, but then suddenly stopped, exclaiming in surprise: “Oh no, we got off too hastily and forgot to check if there were any new items on that menu!”

That menu looked very thick, but in reality, only the first page had text. When they looked at it before, there was only the train exclusive water item, so they subconsciously assumed there would be no changes this time either.

But what if?

If something as miraculous as the train exclusive water truly appeared on the menu, and they missed it because of this, they would truly regret it endlessly!

“Come on, let’s go back and check.” Ge Yunying made a decisive decision and immediately went to chase the train.

“Hey, wait for me!”

Feng Zhi quickly followed. Ge Yunying’s mind was sharper than his, so following Ge Yunying was definitely the right choice.

At the door of the first carriage, Ge Yunying jumped on without any hesitation, picked up the menu, and checked it.

“train exclusive water… Sure enough!” She looked at the items written on the first page and turned to Feng Zhi, who had just boarded, saying, “Look, there’s indeed an extra item.”

“steamed bun?” Feng Zhi’s eyes widened. These two characters were already odd enough, but the price that followed shocked him even more. “Two thousand low-grade spirit stones for one?? What kind of steamed bun is this, to sell for two thousand?!”

Ge Yunying only noticed the price after steamed bun now, and her mouth twitched slightly: “Uh, this…”

steamed bun was a very common staple food. Whether they bought steamed bun in the Wall or in the guild, they could get several steamed bun for one low-grade spirit stone.

But the new steamed bun on the green train’s menu actually sold for two thousand low-grade spirit stones!

Three words simultaneously appeared in both their minds: big spenders!

Ge Yunying quickly closed the menu in her hand and jumped off the train.

Although she knew this steamed bun might have some magical effect like the train exclusive water, she really didn’t dare to look any further.

That was two thousand spirit stones!

If they had those two thousand spirit stones, why would they still ride in the ordinary carriage, which only cost one hundred and eighty spirit stones for a trip?

“It seems we can’t afford this steamed bun,” Feng Zhi also got off and shook his head.

Buying an Martial Enhancement Pill before had consumed the spirit stones he had saved for a long time. If he wanted to buy this steamed bun… he’d better sell himself first!

Seeing their reactions, Lin Feng actually understood, because even he didn’t know what the effect of this steamed bun was.

The system didn’t say.

Spending two thousand spirit stones on a steamed bun without knowing its function was indeed a very irrational thing to do.

Of course, some rich people were an exception… Inside the VIP carriage, there were still about ten minutes left until their journey ended, but Gu Mingzhu had already opened her eyes first.

She went over to Wang Yi and said, “Little Brother Wang Yi, don’t cultivate anymore. Let’s go look at that strange microwave oven.”

Wang Yi usually disliked being disturbed while cultivating, but what Gu Mingzhu said did pique his curiosity, so he opened his eyes: “Alright.”

Now there were only the two of them in this VIP carriage, and it was very quiet. The two of them went together to the table by the carriage door. Gu Mingzhu lowered her head to observe the function buttons on the microwave oven, while Wang Yi picked up the menu on the table.

He picked up the menu originally just to see if there were any changes in its material, but after opening it, he was shocked.

At this moment, Gu Mingzhu was curious about that microwave oven, so she reached out and touched Wang Yi’s arm, saying, “Hey, Little Brother Wang Yi, what does this mean here?”
