Moreover, the Blue Star where they were was remote from the Main Star and mostly populated by people who could barely make ends meet. Those ingredients, in particular, were far beyond what an ordinary person could afford.
After all, a single meal could easily cost hundreds, if not thousands, of Star Coins. For a large family, one meal could cost over a thousand Star Coins, and a full day's worth of food would amount to several thousand. On Blue Star, where the average monthly income was only a few thousand Star Coins, the ingredients for one day could eat up more than half a month's income for an ordinary family. That was simply impossible.
Furthermore, their family had no money, and Bai Zhi was a notoriously lazy female. How could she suddenly know how to cook such delicious meals?
The Bai Zhi from before always wore a gloomy expression, but the Bai Zhi who came after always had a smile on her face.
