Chapter 507: fiery temper
Su Yinhe’s anger flared up instantaneously.
"It’s only like this for you."
Su Yinhe: "..."
Laugh, laugh, laugh, just don’t laugh yourself to death.
Su Yinhe admitted she was a bit malicious.
But she couldn’t help it.
She might have been born a malicious woman after all.
Su Yinhe sighed.
"Boss, don’t sigh. I won’t laugh anymore... hahaha... sorry, couldn’t hold it in." Xu Jiaoqin really didn’t want to laugh anymore; she was just a customer, after all, needing to show some respect to the boss.
But for some reason, as she was trying to hold back her laughter, seeing the boss’s expression, she couldn’t refrain anymore.
"Alright, alright, if you can’t hold it in, then don’t. Being too tolerant isn’t a good thing," Su Yinhe patted her shoulder.
"Alright then, I won’t hold back hahaha..." Xu Jiaoqin completely let go.
And started laughing loudly again.
This time the laughter was especially exaggerated, with a neurotic vibe.
Su Yinhe: "..."
She was just being polite.
Do you know what being polite means?
Xu Jiaoqin, not a bit.
But by then it was too late; she’d already spoken.
Su Yinhe somewhat wanted to slap herself.
She really deserved to die.
Really, she deserved it.
Call it the consequences of speaking recklessly.
Su Yinhe could only continue watching her laugh.
Because Xu Jiaoqin was laughing, Su Yinhe didn’t give out any more stuff when they left today.
She, as the boss, needed to keep her own dignity.
Just a little revenge.
Her heart was full of kindness; she could only resort to this type of revenge, not even amounting to real revenge.
Su Yinhe shook her head, then caught herself self-admiring again.
Her heart, full of kindness... hehehe...
Su Yinhe felt like her brain hadn’t been functioning well lately.
Perhaps someone had bitten a chunk off.
She felt brainless, her intelligence nosediving recently.
Thanks to the recent shopping spree at the supermarket, Cheetah Team’s supplies had greatly increased.
They had a lot of supplies already.
Acquired from previous trips to the supermarket.
After the supermarket had vanished, they were somewhat scared; although they had already exchanged a lot, people always worry it’s not enough, conserving food and resources when using.
They broke things into small pieces to use.
Their resources were abundant, but they remained frugal.
Resources are always finite, and they had to plan for the future.
After returning from the supermarket, they bought a lot of stuff, replenishing the supplies they had used up and storing even more.
They were now well-stocked.
Monkey then suggested, "Sis, should we have a feast to celebrate?"
"Yes, yes. Sis, let’s celebrate. The supermarket is back, and we’ve saved so many supplies, we really should celebrate," Bai Yuanyuan, hearing this, lit up and hurriedly joined the persuasion.
Others heard and their eyes gleamed too, joining the persuasion.
"Yes, yes. Sis, look at the weather, isn’t it just perfect for a hearty meal? Let’s have a big feast to reward ourselves."
Xu Jiaoqin looked at the circle of people around her, about to laugh in frustration.
"Fine, fine, fine. I agree. Am I such an unreasonable person that so many need to persuade me?" Not to mention them, Xu Jiaoqin herself wanted to prepare a big meal too.
She wanted to eat something delicious.
The snacks the boss had given them before were good, and there were plenty, but it still wasn’t quite satisfying.
"Yay! So what grand meal are we having?" Bai Yuanyuan almost jumped up with excitement, not forgetting to focus on the key question after her joy.
"Let’s get a pot going," Xu Jiaoqin suggested after thinking for a while.
In this weather, if they prepared anything else that would take too long to eat, it’d get cold quickly.
They didn’t have any heating now, they could only depend on wearing more clothes and their own body heat.
A hot pot would be different.
They could eat while they cooked.
The food would still be steaming hot when it reached their mouths.
Although as Superpower Users, they generally ate quickly, eating something just cooked meant the food wouldn’t cool down before it was all gone.
But, eating from a pot was lively.
The Cheetah Team had quite a number of people, especially when counting family members.
So Xu Jiaoqin set up three large pots.
It was a good thing they had bought so many large pots from the supermarket.
In one pot there was a Beef Butter Hotpot base, another was a tomato pot, and the last one just pure clear water.
Whichever one you fancied, you headed to that pot.
Most people still preferred the spicy Beef Butter Hotpot; it tasted strong and felt warming in this kind of weather.
Their grand feast—all pots, base ingredients, chopsticks, bowls, and food ingredients—were bought from the supermarket.
"Remember, without the supermarket, we wouldn’t have this meal. If you ever see anyone troubling the boss, you must help, no matter what," Xu Jiaoqin said earnestly.
"Don’t worry, sis." Bai Yuanyuan, eating a piece of just-cooked meat, her face wrinkled due to the heat, echoed Xu Jiaoqin while savoring the bites.
"The boss is like parents to me, whoever dares to bother the boss, I’d risk my life to intervene," although the boss was powerful and might not need her help, she still had that intention.
Having lived in the apocalypse for so long, they shouldn’t generally have these thoughts.
But the boss was just too good.
Too kind to them.
In a sense, the boss had genuinely given them a second chance at life.
So, if Su Yinhe really did run into trouble someday, and they happened to be there, they would indeed risk their lives to help her.
Su Yinhe didn’t know that there was such a group of people, who after just buying a few things, would risk their lives for her.
They jovially finished their grand meal.
It was a rare luxury.
You see, the ingredients for this feast weren’t cheap.
Fresh vegetables from the supermarket, various fresh meats.
There were many of them and they had bought a lot.
When Xu Jiaoqin was purchasing them, it pained her heart.
So much money could have been spent on so much rice, so many supplies.
The grand meal they ate today could have been exchanged for a month’s worth of sustenance if spent wisely.
A month’s worth of food, just devoured in one sitting.
It was delicious, but it genuinely hurt her heart.
But it was just a rare splurge; after this, they resumed their austere consumption.
There was no choice, they had to save.
This damn apocalypse had no end in sight.
And who knew how long the supermarket would last.
Xu Jiaoqin had asked Su Yinhe this question.
Su Yinhe’s answer was, "Do as you please."
She would move it whenever she felt like it.
Or she might never move it at all if she didn’t feel like it.
Her main philosophy was simply, "Do as you please."
Xu Jiaoqin seriously wondered if Su Yinhe had said that just because she laughed too loudly.
