Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi-Chapter 202: Finding Something to Do During Summer Vacation (6)

"Ah..." Yu Jiao reacted quickly, "Mom, the meat you bought that day must have been this rotten mouse meat, stinking and pungent. Just the smell of it made me not want to eat it, and one bite was enough to make me sick."

"How much was that meat? If it’s around fifty yuan, that’s not too bad. But if it’s seventy or eighty, then you’ve been cheated—they sold you male mouse meat for the price of female mouse meat."

"It was definitely male mouse meat, priced at fifty yuan per half kilogram," Yu Qing declared confidently, the memory too striking to forget, growing angry at the thought.

"Don’t be mad. Once you’re cheated, you won’t be cheated the next time. I put ten portions of Spider Legs Meat in the fridge, you can eat that first. Next time I’ll get some male spider meat, but there won’t be as much of it. The quality of male spider meat is stable all year round."

"Spider legs are so expensive, the meat mustn’t be cheap either?"

"An entire, complete leg is expensive, but if you chop the leg off the body and scrape out all the bits of meat inside, then it’s cheaper—five to six hundred yuan per half kilogram."

"Five to six hundred yuan per half kilogram?!" Yu Qing felt a pang of heartache, "Do the ones in the fridge add up to half a kilogram?"

"No, more like a quarter kilogram. I wasn’t sure if you would be able to eat it, so I didn’t dare to buy too much. It’s also a seasonal limited edition. If it’s gone this year, you have to get up early next year if you want it."

"Three hundred for half a quarter kilogram, divided into ten portions, each is only a quarter of a liang? But it looks quite a lot after steaming."

"The steamed meat is full of moisture, doesn’t choke you, right?"

The meat being dry and choking is something Awakeners mention; Ordinary folks like Ye Nai might not know this, still waiting for her mom and sister’s feedback after eating.

"No, not at all, it’s really good."

"Then eat, finish it all. We have to figure out how much of each type of meat you can consume in a meal, so we’ll know how much to buy next time."

"You eat too."

"I won’t. When I came out, I craved braised pork. I wanted to eat something fatty. With much effort, the team I follow managed to hunt down two big wild boars, but those are for selling. Not even a tiny broken-off piece would be shared among the team for a feast."

Ye Nai understated her plight, successfully invoking guilt in Yu Qing, who set down her bowl and reached for her phone to transfer a quick two thousand yuan.

"It’s not easy to get meat; since you’re staying here this couple of months, consider this month’s food expenses for you. Buy meat whenever you feel like eating it."

Seeing the two thousand yuan on her phone, Ye Nai thought about how her mom became more generous after the divorce. Previously, when there were six family members, the monthly grocery money that passed through her hands was just a little over one thousand, and she often felt criticized for spending too much on groceries.

Now, she was given two thousand directly, claiming it was a month’s food expenses. Surely, getting a divorce was the right decision.

Money in hand would naturally not be returned. Ye Nai pocketed her phone and picked up her bowl to finish the last few bites of her meal.

"Mom, eat up. It’s almost half-past six."

"Aiya, I’ve lost track of the time!"

Yu Qing picked up a piece of Spider Legs Meat and gave it to Yu Jiao, then hurriedly scooped the rest into her own bowl and mixed it with rice before swallowing it down.

Yu Jiao ate smoothly too.

Neither of them felt the same sensation as last time, where just a few bites of meat made them full.

Yu Qing put down her bowl and wiped her mouth with a napkin before turning to ask Ye Nai.

"Have you checked out of the room? Are you sleeping at home tonight?"

"Not tonight, I’ll come back tomorrow. I’m staying at a budget hotel nearby tonight. I bought an air conditioner, so I’ll come over tomorrow to wait for the delivery. I’ll start moving the bed once the air conditioner is installed."

"Alright, alright, that’s settled then."

```

"Can I sleep with big sister tonight? It’s so hot at home, I want to enjoy some air conditioning~" Yu Jiao put her empty bowl down, wiping her mouth while she cooed.

"Sure, mom, give me your ID card, I’ll book a double room, and we’ll all sleep in the hotel tonight."

"...Ah? Do I really need to? The air conditioning will be fixed tomorrow, it’s just one hot night."

"Why endure when you don’t have to? Do you have a masochistic streak?" Ye Nai retorted unkindly. She used to be more restrained before living independently, but not anymore.

"Then, then okay."

Yu Qing didn’t insist any further and handed her ID card to Ye Nai.

"You take some clothes for your little sister and go first, after you check in send me the room number, I’ll come back and pick up our clothes before joining you."

"Remember to pack the toiletries and clothes for tomorrow, go straight to work from the hotel in the morning to avoid coming back home."

"Alright, alright, that’s settled then, I’m off, Yu Jiao listen to your big sister, okay?"

"Got it, mommy~" Yu Jiao responded cheerfully.

After Yu Qing left, the two sisters cleaned up the dining table and kitchen, tidied up the house, took Yu Jiao’s clothes and toothbrush and towel, found a small canvas bag of their own in the Space, packed everything, and set off.

The recent weather had been awful, stuffy and hot, with a slight cool breeze outside, but without any air conditioning and no breeze entering the house, staying indoors for long made it feel suffocating, it was actually more comfortable outdoors.

It wasn’t yet seven o’clock, the sky outside was still bright, and residents could be seen everywhere in the community, walking, strolling with children, and walking pets after dinner. Yu Jiao hugged Ye Nai’s arm, hopping and skipping along.

After checking into the hotel, Ye Nai and Yu Jiao went out to buy snacks. Whatever toys and snacks were popular among elementary school students, Yu Jiao had them all.

Yu Jiao was as happy as a mouse in a rice jar, carrying two big bags back to the hotel cheerfully.

Once in the room, after both sisters had washed up, they sat on the big bed each with a game controller, playing online games and yelling excitedly.

At about nine o’clock, Ye Nai received a message from her mom, Yu Qing, saying that class was over.

"Okay, let’s take a break and watch some TV for a while. Mom has finished class and is on her way here. Don’t let her find out you’ve been playing video games all night."

"Oh~ just after this round~"

A little after nine, Yu Qing knocked on the door to pick up the room cards and, by the way, took away Yu Jiao, who had wanted to sleep with her big sister.

Ye Nai didn’t insist on keeping her since she had things to do that night, she gave Yu Jiao a bag of mini bread to coax her out the door.

After locking the door, she left spores as a guard behind the door and window, so that if anyone came uninvited, they would be directly taken into the Space.

Ye Nai changed into her going-out clothes and played with her phone until nine thirty, and then, focusing closely, she connected with the spores outside and used Space Teleportation to go to the trash can behind the Feiyang Internet Cafe.

You wouldn’t believe it, but the garbage bags piled up and overflowing behind the back door were indeed a great place to hide.

After landing, Ye Nai stayed squatting without moving, sent spores directly into the big office on the third floor, and in the next second, they reported a crowd of people in the room.

It wasn’t surprising to find people there. Twelve million in cash, not packaged, someone would come to pick it up. Just the nature of such a condition would make the owner behind the internet cafe curious.

Ye Nai paid no attention to that group of people. She manipulated spores, invisible and imperceptible to others, making them hover in the middle of the room, carefully sensing through the feedback from the spores the size and material of different objects, and easily found the large pile of paper money.

Twelve million in paper money, stacked up, was quite the sight.

In the office, among the circle of people, besides the internet cafe’s owner, the owner behind the scenes was also there, all curious to see who would come for such a large sum of unsecured cash, and it would be even better if they could have a little chat with the person to learn more.
