Those who had never been hungry might never understand the pain of not eating for days.
First, it was endless hunger. Then, the stomach began to reflux. Then, one would want to find anything to eat and stuff it all into one's mouth.
There was no strength in one's body. Every cell in one's body, every thought, was begging for the comfort of food.
Therefore, this was why some ascetics would practice their perseverance by starving themselves. This was essentially a struggle against their own desire to survive.
Xia Chuan Jieyi held her stomach in pain. The bowl of porridge just now smelled really good. Although it was particularly painful to eat, strangely, she felt that there was indeed something in her stomach.
However, the hunger was still tormenting her. Her mouth was constantly secreting saliva. But when she thought of the torturous pain, it made her a little afraid.
"Dear guest, please enjoy your meal." Chen Ze placed the calming porridge in front of Xia Chuan Jieyi. He originally thought that this was seafood porridge.
Xia Chuan Jieyi was a little conflicted. It smelled really good. But when she thought of her experience just now, Xia Chuan Jieyi did not have the courage to eat this porridge.
"Please eat it without worry. This is specially made for you." Chen Ze saw Xia Chuan Jieyi's worry and deliberately explained.
After all, if it were him who had just eaten a mouthful of poisonous food and now brought out another bowl, he would also hesitate. This was not strange.
Xia Chuan Jieyi's stomach growled again. Seeing and smelling the fragrance stimulated her instincts.
Then, Chen Ze returned to the kitchen and watched Xia Chuan Jieyi pick up the spoon and scoop a spoonful of porridge.
"Gulp ~" A loud sound.
In the end, she could not resist the body's thirst for food. Xia Chuan Jieyi put the spoon to her mouth and tried to suck.
The small, warm porridge was swallowed by her. At this moment, Xia Chuan Jieyi was mentally prepared. She was prepared to collapse from the scalding.
However, such a thing did not happen. The mild porridge was slowly swallowed by her. It was very fragrant, very warm, and very comfortable.
"Oh ~" Xia Chuan Jieyi made a sound of satisfaction and then continued to suck the porridge.
Chen Ze smiled and didn't continue to care about this poor man. Instead, he continued to do his own preparations.
Chen Ze planned to limit Elizabeth's use of this strong liquor. Otherwise, if he drank it directly, it would be another Miss Rose.
When he thought of Rose, Chen Ze's stomach started to hurt. Last night, Chen Ze really wanted to throw the drunk Miss Rose out of the room. However, after considering the safety of the guests, Chen Ze gave up on that tempting idea.
In the end, Chen Ze decided to give his magic circle a try. The result was unexpectedly useful. It easily turned Miss Rose from a drunken stupor to a dizzy state.
Then, Chen Ze also received 50 gold coins for a glass of wine.
Although there was a magic circle that could help with the hangover, Chen Ze felt that it was better to sell Elizabeth's strong liquor carefully.
Chen Ze slowly cut the eel and helplessly looked at the roast duck. There were still two roast ducks left, but they hadn't been sold yet. Chen Ze had to think of a way to sell them as soon as possible.
"Oh right, what's the date today?" Chen Ze took out his phone and looked at it. He remembered that he had booked a plane ticket for this week yesterday.
"May 20th …" Chen Ze put down his phone and was stunned. May 20th?
May 20th was a special day because it was planned as a couple's day. Although Chen Ze felt that it was because he had nothing better to do, he didn't have much to do.
Western Valentine's Day, White Valentine's Day, Christmas Day, and Chinese Valentine's Day …
In order to make money from couples, the merchants also put in a lot of effort. This caused the majority of men to want to cry but have no tears.
Now, there was a May 20th Valentine's Day. Who could stand it?
Chen Ze suddenly remembered a funny screenshot. It said that a female friend had posted a godly statement on her WeChat Moments.
It said that it was May 20th. Romantic Westerners would give lipstick or jewelry to their partners, but Hua Xia men would give roses and hug bears perfunctorily. They even said that it was official data.
Later, someone directly slapped her in the face. May 20th was a homonym in Chinese. Foreigners didn't speak Chinese, so naturally, they wouldn't celebrate I Love You Day.
If foreigners had to say … May 20th?
When Chen Ze laughed, he almost cut off his hand. He hurriedly shook his head and threw away all these annoying things. Then, he focused on the pork chops in front of him.
"It's so delicious …" Xia Chuan Jieyi touched her stomach contentedly. She finished all the porridge. She was no longer hungry and felt comfortable.
"Eh? I can … I can speak?! " Xia Chuan Jieyi touched her mouth in surprise and then found that her mouth had returned to its original size.
At this moment, Xia Chuan Jieyi suddenly understood what her obsession was. It was to eat a full meal …
"That … Mr. Store Manager …" Xia Chuan Jieyi spoke.
"Customer, have you finished eating?" Chen Ze walked out with a smile. Then, he was surprised to find that Xia Chuan Jieyi's mouth had become bigger again.
So what was going on?
"I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! "Xia Chuan Jieyi immediately sat down and suddenly lay on the ground.
"Eh?" Chen Ze was a little confused. She just ate a bowl of porridge. She didn't have to be so polite, right?
"That … that … I'm going to become a Buddha … I … have no money to pay the bill …" Xia Chuan Jieyi's ashamed voice sounded particularly obvious. Chen Ze was stunned.
What did becoming a Buddha mean? Then, he suddenly noticed that Xia Chuan Jieyi's body began to become illusory and a little transparent.
Chen Ze could even see the floor of his house through her body.
At this moment, Chen Ze understood that Xia Chuan Jieyi in front of him was obviously a soul. She didn't know why, but after eating a bowl of porridge, she could enter the cycle of reincarnation.
"It's okay. I hope to see you again in the future." Chen Ze sighed. This was probably the second customer that he had sent away.
"Really, thank you very much!" Xia Chuan Jieyi stood up gratefully and her body became more transparent.
Then, Chen Ze watched Xia Chuan Jieyi push open the door. As soon as she walked out, she completely dissipated into the air.
However, she left a flower, a Red Spider Lily.
Chen Ze picked up the flower, was silent for a while, and put it in his cabinet.
"Well … I also sent away a customer on 5.20 … Eh? Wait! Today … today … is Lavra's birthday?! "
