Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 195 Poor Tea Reception

Faced with the issue of having to pay money to purify other people's familiars, Aqua chose to remain calm.

"Alas, money is the goddess' courage. Now that I have no money, I can even ignore the devil."

Aqua sighed.

"You really deserve a beating if you're not addicted to top-quality wine and always spend money recklessly. The dividends from your potion that Broly gives you are already the amount of money that an ordinary person can barely earn by working for more than 20 years without eating or drinking."

Darkness clenched her fists, wanting to punch Aqua in the head, a girl who had no clue what she was doing.

"When a man is poor, his ambition is short. When a man is poor, his ambition is short. Lady Aqua, you should just accept the fact."

Wiz tried to persuade her from the side. She could understand Aqua's feelings. It was just like when her magic item shop was in financial deficit, but she saw some attractive magic items outside but didn't dare to buy them.

"The guests are all poor, but they don't know why these poor guests come to Xiaomi's house to look for Xiaomi's father?"

Xiaomi was listening nearby, and although she already understood that these people were not thieves, she still asked the question out of childishness.

Aqua, Darkness, Wiz: "..."

In this home that can almost be described as bare, why can the little girl in front of him call them poor so naturally and naturally say this?

"Little sister, poverty is a thing of the past. I am not poor now. I am here to do business with your father."

Wiz said.

"Oh, sister, you are the one being taken advantage of. No, you are the distinguished guest who brought donations to our family!"

Xiaomi suddenly realized what was going on and immediately ran to the kitchen to prepare tea and water to entertain the distinguished guests on behalf of her parents.

"Hey, little sister, did you say something weird just now?"

Darkness asked.

"Hey, what did you say?"

"That's what you call this sister a sucker."

Darkness reminded.

"What are you talking about, my very tough sister?"

Xiaomi blinked and looked at him with an expression that said, "I don't know what you are talking about, sister," and pretended to be stupid.

"What a clever child. But why would he treat the devil as his contracted familiar?"

Aqua was a little confused by this, but she looked at the demon who had shrunk in size and followed into the house.

"No, don't look at me like that, I don't know anything."

Hoste didn't know why Xiaomi wanted him to be a familiar, since they, the demons, clearly didn't have a very good reputation in this world.

"Here comes tea~"

Not long after, Xiaomi, who was busy in the kitchen, came out carrying a tray.

"Dear guest, please have some tea~"

The girl respectfully placed a cup of water with a little tea foam in front of Wiz, and handed the other clay cups to others.

however……

"Hey, this is just regular water, right?"

Aqua took a closer look at the liquid in the teacup in her hand and found that it was just ordinary water. There was no tea leaves at all, so she screamed out.

"It's like this. Our family is relatively poor, so the limited tea we have at home is only provided to distinguished guests who bring donations to our family."

Xiaomi said this seriously, and from the fact that there was no tea leaves in the tea she poured for herself and Hoste, it could be seen that what she said was not false.

"Aqua-sama, if you want some tea, how about I give it to you?"

Wiz interrupted. She didn't expect that as the only lich who didn't need to drink anything, she would be treated to the only tea here.

Aqua didn't hesitate to take the cup of tea in front of Wiz, as if to show you know what's best for you.

"Uh, what kind of tea is this?"

But after taking a sip, Aqua frowned. "This is the best tea in my house."

Xiaomi answered the question without hesitation, but she only had one kind of tea at home, which was cheap tea made from tea scraps.

Not only does the brewed tea have a dull taste, but it also feels tingling when you drink it. For Aqua, who has never had a hard life since coming to this world, it is indeed a bit hard to swallow.

"What's wrong, Aqua? What's wrong with this tea?"

Darkness came over and asked.

"Try to drink it yourself."

Aqua handed the tea to Darkness, who took a sip and quite liked it.

"It's a bit sour. It's old tea that hasn't been stored well. It tastes a bit like swill."

Darkness looked savoring the moment, which made Aqua’s lips twitch.

"Although I knew that Mr. Piao Saburo's family was poor, I didn't expect that his family was so poor."

Wiz was also a little embarrassed.

Broly just leaned over to smell the tea, then looked up and frowned.

"So what are you going to eat for lunch?"

After he realized what was happening, he asked the little girl next to him.

"It's the leftover roasted sweet potatoes from last night!"

Xiaomi answered.

"What did you eat in the morning?"

Broly asked again.

"It was thin porridge. You could see the porridge at the bottom of the bowl. Xiaomi drank two full bowls."

Xiaomi looked like he could eat children.

"Uh, I didn't expect you to have such a hard time~"

Hoste was inspired and said that this was almost the same as some starving people.

"It's almost noon, we're going to have lunch, do you want to join us?"

Broly asked.

"Xiaomi has to look after the house, and Xiaomi doesn't have any money."

It was obvious that the little girl wanted to go along, but when she looked through the pockets of her skirt, they were empty.

She was short of money and wanted to fill her stomach, so she usually went to the forest to find food. She used to go there with her sister, but now her sister went to school and she was alone.

"Just look after the house for Him to watch, and not having money is not a problem because I'll treat you."

Broly said as he pointed at the demon.

"Eh?"

Xiaomi widened her eyes and looked at the boy in disbelief.

"So, Xiaomi can eat delicious food without spending any money?"

"Yes, but the prerequisite is that there are delicious restaurants in this village."

"Ounisankami-sama, you are such a great kind person."

Xiaomi rubbed his hands and made a praying gesture to Broly, praising him.

"Xiaomi knows which restaurant has the best food in the village. I can take you there. Hoste, the task of looking after the house is left to you. I will take this kind brother to the restaurant for dinner. After dinner, Xiaomi will be back soon."

Xiaomi stood up and gave this order to his own familiar, then turned around and looked at Broly, who stood at attention, and continued to report while slurping his saliva.

"Xiaomi is ready and can eat at any time. Oh no, I'm going to take my good brother to the best restaurant in our village for dinner!"
