EBE Chapter 539: Stingy Tradition
Chapter 539: Stingy Tradition
Duoduo glanced at them and said with certainty: "It's three pots, that's right. Taowu committed a crime yesterday, so we won't provide it with any food for the whole week."
When Taowu heard that he was not involved, his whole body stiffened instantly. When the other three beasts heard that it was Taowu who made the mistake and it had nothing to do with them, they all gloated over it.
However, they learned their lesson this time and did not laugh at Taowu immediately. They planned to mock him after the meal, but eating was the most important thing now.
They knew it had nothing to do with them, so they rushed to the big basin closest to them and started working hard, while Taowu could only watch everyone eat happily.
Taowu suddenly came up with an idea. He glanced at Duoduo and saw that she was not looking at him. He quickly used his tail to roll up a piece of barbecue from the Yanhao basin and stuffed it into his mouth.
The entire crime process was so smooth that even the animal involved couldn't see it clearly, let alone Duoduo who had his back to it.
Yan Hao blinked his eyes, chewed something, and wondered in his heart, why did it feel like something flashed past his eyes?
Then Taowu took another stealthy glance at Duoduo, then used his tail to roll up food from Xuancang and Canrong's bowls and stuffed it into his mouth.
Every time before doing something bad, Taowu would glance at Duoduo to make sure that she was not paying attention before he dared to commit the crime.
At first Xuan Cang and the others didn't notice it until the food in the bowl decreased unnoticed, then they discovered something was wrong.
So the three beasts pretended to lower their heads to eat, but in fact their eyes were fixed on the food in the bowl. As a result, the three of them caught Taowu at the crime scene.
The three beasts complained to Duoduo one after another, "Duoduo, Taowu stole my food.", "It's the same here, there are a lot of missing meat slices, and I haven't eaten a single bite.", "Wuuuuu~ Duoduo, you have to take charge of me~" The last one didn't even care about his face and kept pretending to cry. No one else but Yan Hao could do that.
Duoduo simply forbad Taowu from being provided with food, but he couldn't bear to see it starve, so he increased the amount of food on the big face plates of the three Xuancang beasts so that Taowu could eat together.
By doing this, Duoduo doesn't have to worry about breaking the promise he made last night, and at the same time he can provide food for Taowu.
Based on her understanding of Taowu, it would definitely steal food when she wasn't paying attention.
Sure enough, not long after the meal started, Taowu made a series of moves and snatched a lot of food from the Xuancang Three Beasts Bowl.
But she didn't expect that the three Xuancang beasts would be so slow. It took such a long time before they discovered Taowu's stealing behavior.
She thought that they would discover her the first bite she stole from Taowu.
In fact, this cannot be blamed on the slowness of the three Xuancang beasts. Every time they eat delicious food, they can't help but squint their eyes and taste it in ecstasy. Taowu took advantage of this opportunity to steal food successfully.
If the food in the bowl had not become less and less, and they had not noticed something unusual, they might not have noticed that Taowu was stealing food.
Duoduo had already thought of an excuse, "I believe you can definitely protect your share of food. Whether you can prevent Taowu from stealing it depends on your ability."
To put it simply, I don’t care, you guys can do whatever you want.
After hearing Duoduo's words, Taowu stopped pretending and, in front of Duoduo, quickly reached into the big basin with his tail, rolled out food, and then happily devoured it.
There were three large bowls for it to choose from. As long as Xuancang and the others lowered their heads to eat, it would unexpectedly stretch out its tail and roll away the food in their bowls. The three Xuancang beasts could not defend themselves at all and could only speed up their eating.
But they were not as fast as Taowu in eating. Soon the food in their bowls was gone, and most of it went into Taowu's stomach.
The three beasts looked at the empty basin and felt like crying, but they had no tears left. In the end, they even lost their dignity and stuck out their tongues to lick the leftovers at the bottom of the basin. Duoduo felt both distressed and amused when seeing this.
She waved her hand helplessly and added some more fruits and vegetables into the bowl. Although it was not meat, it was better than nothing.
At the same time, he sent a message to stop Taowu from trying to snatch the food again, "If you dare to touch the food in their bowls again, you won't have any food in the future."
Taowu's tail, which had been ready to move, immediately drooped down. It did not dare to challenge the authority of the angry Duoduo. Being kicked out of the door last night was a bloody lesson.
Now it didn't dare to make Duoduo angry anymore. It could only lie aside like a grandson, closing its eyes and pretending not to see anything.
Duoduo also wanted to feed them some meat-related delicacies, but unfortunately, Taowu had ate most of them last night. Thinking of this, Duoduo glared at Taowu fiercely again.
There aren't many finished foods left in the warehouse now, only unprocessed ingredients.
She wanted to give them some, but she couldn't, unless she gave them raw meat or cooked it for them on the spot. But Duoduo wanted to go out and walk around the stalls later to see if she could find any treasures like she did yesterday.
She didn't want to waste her energy on other things, and she planned that in the next few days, everyone's meals would be mainly vegetarian, with fruit and vegetable salads, of which there were plenty in the warehouse.
It would be great if she could find someone to cook for her, then she could ask him to cook for her just like she did with Wu Er and the others.
The carnivorous Canrong and Yanhao ate all the vegetables and fruits provided by Duoduo while crying.
Xuancang, who loves cabbage, enjoys the extra cabbage happily. He likes cabbage more than meat delicacies. He will feel uncomfortable if he does not eat it for a day.
The expressions on both sides were in such sharp contrast that Duoduo and the other two were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
After dinner, Duoduo led a large group out again. Why is it called a large group? Because the people and beasts on Duoduo's side, plus the group of people that Mude brought yesterday, the total number of people is no different from that of a group of nobles.
The only difference from yesterday was that Mude was not in the team, so everyone felt a lot quieter that day.
Especially the three Xuancang beasts, they have long been annoyed by Mude's occasional appearance to make his presence felt. They didn't notice it when Duoduo didn't appear, but since Duoduo joined them, many of Mude's behaviors made them very disgusted.
Before leaving, Duoduo pretended to ask Mude's men if they had had breakfast. She did not forget that she had taken money from them and promised to provide them with breakfast.
But yesterday, Mu De saw through his hypocrisy and only offered to buy breakfast for them, then said that they didn't need to prepare more for them and didn't even need to return the money to him.
Duoduo didn't go out to buy food today. They were too lazy to even go to the kitchen and just took out the ready-made food from the space warehouse.
She asked this because she wanted to tease Mude.
Mude's right-hand man Muslim twitched his cheeks and replied stiffly, "Thank you for your kindness. We have already eaten. Lord Mude said that Miss Qian doesn't need to worry about our meals in the future."
"That's impossible. I've taken your money, so how can I not work? I'll go and help you get ready early." Although Duoduo said this, his feet didn't move at all, and there was no sign of him going out.
After she mentioned Zhang Luo's words, the Muslim immediately reached out to stop her.
As a result, seeing Duoduo's motionless feet, the corners of his mouth twitched again, and he took a deep breath, then said expressionlessly: "Lord Mude said that the money is nothing. If you mind, use it to buy some delicious food for Lord Xuancang and the others."
"Okay then." After confirming again that the money did not need to be returned, Duoduo readily agreed. What she was waiting for was for the other party to say that she did not need to return the money.
Are you kidding? The money is already in my pocket, how can I possibly take it out again?
Duo Duo obeys the teachings of her master and never takes out the money in her pocket easily. This is the good tradition of her master.
Hearing Duoduo agree so quickly, the Muslim's cheeks twitched wildly, and he was speechless at Duoduo's stinginess and shamelessness.
Muslims finally understood why Lord Mud wanted to eliminate her. Now even I can't help but want to strangle her to death.
Duoduo took everyone for a walk, but their luck was not always so good. They didn't find any useful herbs, so she decisively gave up wandering around aimlessly.
She planned to go to the venue of another medicine tasting test that Ajin and Long Lin had mentioned to her. It was the timed medicine guessing competition. Whoever could tell the name and properties of the herb in the shortest time would win.
Then we went to test the medicine, but Duoduo felt something was wrong. Didn't they say that only wizards could make medicine, and pharmacists were not qualified? How did such a medicine-making link come about?
Duoduo didn't think too much about it. She would know when she got there anyway. It was useless for her to guess now.
She first took part in the drug guessing test and then went to the pharmaceutical company to have a look.
In preparation for the Pharmacopoeia Festival, the city of Yunar hung various signboards throughout the city, saving visitors who came to attend the Pharmacopoeia Festival the time of asking for directions.
However, no matter how good the signboards are, they are useless to Duoduo and the others, because they cannot understand the words of this world at all.
At this time, Taowu made a brilliant appearance, transmitting sound to help everyone answer questions and show the way. Its advantage of being able to understand the world's characters was revealed at this moment.
Ever since Taowu's spiritual consciousness could communicate with the group, the surveillance by Mude's men seemed meaningless.
Most of the time they communicated through spiritual consciousness, which made Mu De's subordinates very confused and wondered why Yu Duoduo and the others suddenly became silent.
