Under these sour comments, Cai Wei acted as if she hadn’t heard them, leading the two men from the Meng slaves away with a blank expression.
Knowing that beef was hard to buy, she had already given them a chance to buy meat. They had been greedy, hoping to find a bargain later, so she was certainly not going to wait kindly for everyone to finish buying before she did.
Beef was hard to come by, and she had finally found some. So, she needed to buy in bulk and store it in her spatial storage!
Cai Wei took the two Meng slaves to the Inn where she and Nangong Yi used to stay, and asked for the room that Nangong Yi used to live in.
After they entered the room, the two men from Meng slaves weighed the beef. Cai Wei paid silver and sent them away.
As soon as the men from the Meng slaves left, Cai Wei brought the beef and buns into her space, stored the beef in her warehouse, set aside about forty to fifty jin to treat Bai Mei the White Tiger.
Seeing Cai Wei bringing in the food, several divine beasts were pleased. Cai Wei gave the soup dumplings to Chang Mei, Brother Ying, and the Great Immortal Turtle. She also gave the beef allocated for Bai Mei to it and let it eat in the forest.
Then, Cai Wei sat down to eat the buns with Chang Mei, Brother Ying, and the Great Immortal Turtle. They had to admit, the buns were incredibly tasty. The buns were big, the soup inside was dense, and it was definitely made of old soup boiled from large bones. With just one mouthful, the mouth became fragrant and made one’s stomach rumble, unable to resist a feast.
Brother Ying and Chang Mei fetched some straws and slurped up the meaty soup inside their buns without raising their heads, and then ate the buns.
Cai Wei was puzzled. Both Brother Ying and Bai Mei were small creatures. Their combined weight was less than ten jin, where did they get such big appetites?
Take Brother Ying for example, it managed to eat six round buns whose combined volume was larger than its own body size. She had no idea where did it pack all those buns in, did the law of conservation break at the divine beasts?
And there was Chang Mei. Despite being a thin, small monkey, it could eat more than a dozen buns in one breath without changing its expression. Looking at it, Cai Wei was almost dumbfounded!
Well, this is probably the difference between divine beasts and ordinary animals!
Apart from the Great Immortal Turtle, which ate only three to five buns and stopped eating. It advised Brother Ying and Chang Mei not to overeat and venture into good health.
But it’s advice was ineffective.
When Brother Ying and Chang Mei faced food, their self-control was always zero. If Cai Wei hadn’t stored the remaining buns, they probably would have continued eating until everything was consumed.
"I’m saving these buns for Gou Dan’er and his grandpa, you guys stop eating already, you have had plenty."
Cai Wei wrapped the remaining buns in oil paper lest they eat any more.
Brother Ying expressed his disagreement loudly, his bright mung-bean eyes were riveted on Cai Wei’s buns as if his eyes were about to pop out.
Cai Wei poked his chubby stomach and laughed, "You keep on eating, you’ll only be able to look at it when I make some tasty food at noon!"
"Master... what are you going to make?"
"Beef Sauce, Beef Jerky, and Five-spice Beef!"
Cai Wei said a few things in one breath, and just listening to their names one could tell they are delicacies made mainly of beef. Brother Ying held his round stomach and struggled for a long time before gritting his teeth and giving up.
"Master, I want to eat more at noon!" it complained unwillingly.
