Chapter 360 Heavenly Master 67
The other party had recently taken in a large number of stray animals and small animals that were abused and abandoned by people. Because there were too many animals and the adoption rate couldn’t keep up, funds were a bit tight. Situ Shuangshuang’s two million donation came just in time!
Striking it rich, Situ Shuangshuang decided to splurge a bit. First, she bought a recipe, then bought some high-end ingredients to cook up a feast. As for the three million in savings she now had, splurging a little at a restaurant? Don’t even joke about it!
Situ Shuangshuang had carefully calculated it. A high-end dish at a high-class restaurant could cost hundreds to over a thousand, but the cost of the ingredients was at most a few hundred! If she cooked herself, the money for one meal at the restaurant could cover several meals! Given this calculation, how could a cheapskate like Situ Shuangshuang do something as wasteful as eating at a restaurant!
Situ Shuangshuang was someone who would do anything to save money. For example, cooking—others might use natural gas or gas cylinders, but Situ Shuangshuang used a Burning Fire Talisman! This way, she saved on gas expenses every month!
And when it got cold in winter, people living in courtyard houses like Situ Shuangshuang’s would usually burn their own boilers. But only Situ Shuangshuang used a Gathering Yang Talisman! As yang energy is naturally warm, a few Gathering Yang Talismans around the house were more effective than heating; the only downside is that staying in a house with too much yang energy could cause you to get hot-tempered!
But no worries, Situ Shuangshuang even had a solution for that. She’d brew some cooling herbal tea or medicine to drink, as saving money was her priority and these were no big deals!
For instance, even though Situ Shuangshuang didn’t usually cook, to not waste the high-end ingredients she bought this time, she meticulously followed the recipe like she was drawing a precise talisman, making sure every gram was perfect!
I must say, the finished product was indeed delicious! It was textbook quality, with even the plating identical to the full-color page of the recipe!
After eating high-end dishes for a few days, frugal Situ Shuangshuang couldn’t bear to waste more. Those things supposedly have various health benefits, but really, they’re just rare and expensive. Eating them every day just leads to getting hot-tempered with no other benefits.
Having tasted the novelty, Situ Shuangshuang decided not to eat those expensive foods daily anymore. However, now that she had money, she wouldn’t be so stingy as to not eat them at all, opting instead to cook a meal with them every now and then.
