Chapter 567: Shrimp Dumplings
Su Yinhe was idly bored and made some shrimp dumplings, “so fresh that the eyebrows would come off” level of fresh.
Ha-ha-ha-ha, ain’t afraid to die laughing, eh?
Su Yinhe admitted that she was somewhat malevolent.
But she couldn’t help it.
She was probably born a vicious woman.
Su Yinhe sighed.
“Boss, don’t sigh. I won’t laugh anymore… Hahaha… sorry, couldn’t hold it.” Xu Jiaoqin initially did not plan to laugh anymore; she was just a customer who needed to save face for the boss.
But for some reason, when she was trying to hold back her laughter, she saw the boss’s expression and couldn’t help herself again.
“That’s enough, if you can’t hold it, then don’t.” Su Yinhe patted her shoulder.
“Alright then, I won’t hold back hahaha…” Xu Jiaoqin fully let go.
And started laughing out loud.
This time the laughter was excessively exaggerated and had a sort of neurotic feel to it.
Su Yinhe: “…”
She was just being polite.
Do you know what being polite means?
Xu Jiaoqin, didn’t understand at all.
But by this time it was too late, she’d said it already.
Su Yinhe kind of wanted to slap herself.
She really deserved to die.
Deserved to be dead.
That’s what happens when you speak carelessly.
Su Yinhe could only continue watching her laugh.
Because Xu Jiaoqin was laughing, Su Yinhe didn’t offer any extras when they left today.
She, the boss, also had her pride.
A little bit of revenge.
Her heart was kind—she dared only take this kind of revenge, which hardly even counted as revenge.
Su Yinhe shook her head, then thinking about it, she fell into self-admiration again.
Her heart was kind… Hehehe…
Su Yinhe felt that recently her brain really hadn’t been quite right.
Wondered if someone had eaten it.
She felt brainless, with her intelligence rapidly declining.
Because they had bought a lot of stuff at the supermarket recently, Cheetah Team’s supplies had vastly increased.
They already had a lot of supplies.
Exchanged previously at the supermarket.
After the supermarket had vanished earlier, they had been a bit afraid, though they had already exchanged a lot, people are like this, always worried it might not be enough, so they were thrifty in eating and using.
Breaking a half into several small pieces to use.
They had a lot of supplies, but they used them thriftily.
Supplies are always limited; they always had to consider the future.
After coming back from the supermarket, they had bought a lot of stuff, instantly replenishing what they had used and even adding much more.
Now things were indeed abundant.
Monkey then suggested, “Sis, should we have a feast to celebrate?”
“Yeah, yeah. Sis, let’s celebrate. The supermarket is back, and we’ve saved up so much stock, we ought to celebrate,” Bai Yuanyuan, upon hearing this, her eyes lit up, quickly joining the persuading crowd.
Other people hearing this, their eyes also shone, also joining the persuading team.
“Yeah, yeah. Sis, look at this weather, isn’t it just perfect for a warm meal? Let’s have a big feast and treat ourselves.”
Xu Jiaoqin looked at the people crowding around her, almost laughing out of exasperation.
“Alright, alright. I agree. Am I such a unreasonable person? Needing so many of you to persuade me?” Not to mention them, Xu Jiaoqin herself was also craving a big meal.
She wanted to have a delicious meal.
The snacks the boss had given before were tasty and plentiful, but still not entirely satisfying.
“Yay! So what big meal are we going to have?” Bai Yuanyuan almost jumped up in excitement and didn’t forget to focus on the crucial issue.
“Let’s have a hotpot,” Xu Jiaoqin suggested after a moment of thought.
In this weather, anything else would get cold too quickly if eaten slowly.
They didn’t have any heating, their only options were to wear heavier clothes or rely on their body heat.
But hotpot was different.
You could eat while you were cooking.
And it was still steaming hot when you ate it.
Although as Superpower Users, they ate quite fast, eating freshly cooked food ensured that nothing got cold before it was finished.
But the fun of eating hotpot was incomparable.
Cheetah Team had quite a few members, especially when including families.
So Xu Jiaoqin prepared three large pots at once.
Luckily, they had bought so many big pots from the supermarket.
One pot had beef butter hotpot base, another tomato, and a third was just plain water.
You could eat from whatever pot you preferred.
Most people still favored the spicy beef butter hotpot, which was flavorful and felt particularly warming in this weather.
Their feast was equipped entirely by the supermarket – the pots, the base ingredients, chopsticks, bowls, and the raw food too.
“Remember this – no supermarket, no meal like this. If anyone troubles the boss in the future, no matter what, we must help,” Xu Jiaoqin said seriously.
“Don’t worry, sis,” Bai Yuanyuan replied, eating some freshly cooked meat that was so hot it scrunched her face, but she didn’t forget to agree with Xu Jiaoqin’s words.
“The boss is like my parents reborn. Anyone dares to trouble the boss, I’m ready to risk my life to step in,” she said. Although the boss was powerful and might not need her help, she had the intent to support.
They had lived in the apocalypse for so long, ordinarily they wouldn’t have thought this way.
But the boss had been incredibly good to them.
Too good, in fact.
In some ways, the boss had given them a second life.
So, if Su Yinhe ever faced any trouble and they happened to be there, they would literally risk their lives to help her.
Su Yinhe didn’t know that there was a group of people who, after just buying a few things, would be willing to risk their lives for her.
They jovially finished their big meal.
It was a rare luxury.
The ingredients for the meal weren’t cheap – freshly bought vegetables from supermarkets, various types of fresh meats.
There were many of them, and they had bought a lot.
When Xu Jiaoqin was paying, it practically broke her heart.
That amount of money could have bought so much rice, so many supplies.
The big meal they ate today, if exchanged for more filling food, could have lasted them a month if they were frugal.
A month’s food supply, just gobbled up like that.
It was delicious, but it really did hurt financially.
Yet, it was a rare luxury and soon, they began their life of cutting back.
There was no choice, they had to save.
This damned apocalypse, who knows when it would end.
Nor when the supermarket would vanish.
Xu Jiaoqin had asked Su Yinhe this question.
Su Yinhe’s answer was “Do as you please.”
She would move it if she felt like it.
And she could just as well not move it for a lifetime if she didn’t want to.
Her main principle was to “Do as you please.”
Xu Jiaoqin seriously suspected that because she laughed too loudly, Su Yinhe had intentionally said this.
