Chapter 587: Cheap and tasty
The highlight was how cheap and tasty it was, and he absolutely loved it.
Murong saw it and also clamored to have some.
"What do you want to eat?"
"To you, it’s just this."
Su Yinhe: "..."
Laugh, laugh, laugh, not afraid of laughing to death.
Su Yinhe admitted she was a bit malicious.
But she couldn’t help it.
She might just have been born a spiteful woman.
Su Yinhe sighed.
"Boss, don’t sigh. I’ll stop laughing... Hahaha... Sorry, couldn’t hold it back." Xu Jiaoqin did not want to laugh anymore, she was just a customer after all; she needed to show some respect to the boss.
But for some reason, while she was trying to hold back her laughter, she saw the boss’s expression and couldn’t help herself again.
"Alright, alright, if you can’t hold it in don’t. Being too forbearing isn’t good either." Su Yinhe patted her shoulder.
"Okay then, I won’t hold back hahaha..." Xu Jiaoqin really let it all out.
And began to laugh loudly again.
This time her laugh was particularly exaggerated, it felt almost hysterical.
Su Yinhe: "..."
She was just being polite.
Do you even know what being polite means?
Xu Jiaoqin doesn’t understand it at all.
But by then it was too late; she had already said what she said.
Su Yinhe wanted to smack herself.
She really should die.
She really deserved to die.
That’s what happens when you talk recklessly.
Su Yinhe could only continue to watch her laugh.
Because of Xu Jiaoqin laughing, today, as they left, Su Yinhe didn’t give away anything else.
She, the boss, needed some face too.
Just a little retaliation.
She has a kind heart, can only dare to retaliate like this, it’s barely even retaliation.
Su Yinhe shook her head, then while thinking, started getting narcissistic again.
She is kind-hearted... Hehehe...
It seemed like her brain really wasn’t functioning well recently.
She wondered if someone had eaten it.
She was acting brainless, her intelligence had rapidly declined recently.
Because they had bought a lot at the supermarket recently, Cheetah Team’s supplies had greatly increased.
They already had a lot of supplies.
They had exchanged items at the supermarket before.
After the supermarket disappeared, they were a bit scared, they had exchanged a lot, but people are like that, always worried it’s not enough; being frugal during eating and using.
Breaking a half into several little pieces to use.
They had lots of supplies, but they used them frugally.
Supplies were always limited, they always had to think about the future.
After coming back from the supermarket, they bought a lot more, instantly replenishing what was consumed. They even stored a lot extra.
Now they were well-stocked.
Monkey then suggested, "Sis, should we throw a feast, to celebrate?"
"Yeah, yeah. Sis, let’s celebrate. The supermarket is back, and we’ve saved up so much supplies, we have to celebrate." Bai Yuanyuan lit up at the suggestion, and quickly joined the persuasion squad.
Others heard and their eyes lit up too, also joining the persuasion squad.
"Yeah, yeah. Sis, look at this weather, isn’t it just perfect for a hot meal? Let’s have a feast and treat ourselves."
Xu Jiaoqin looked at everyone gathered around her and was about to cry with laughter.
"Fine, fine, fine. I agree. Am I such an unreasonable person? So many of you had to persuade." It wasn’t just them, Xu Jiaoqin herself also wanted a feast.
She wanted to eat something delicious.
The snacks the boss had given them before were tasty and plenty, but still not quite satisfying enough.
"Awesome! What feast are we having then?" Bai Yuanyuan was almost jumping up with joy. After her excitement, she promptly focused on the crucial question.
"Let’s do a hotpot," Xu Jiaoqin suggested after a moment’s thought.
In this weather, anything else would get cold too quickly if eaten too slowly.
They didn’t have heating now; besides wearing thick clothes, they only had their bodies to keep warm.
A hotpot would be different.
You could eat while it was still cooking.
Everything eaten would be steaming hot.
Although these superpower users ate pretty quickly, eating freshly cooked food definitely wouldn’t give the food a chance to get cold before they finished.
But still, eating hotpot was fun.
Cheetah Team had quite a number, especially if you included family members.
So Xu Jiaoqin prepared three large pots in one go.
It was fortunate they had bought so many big pots at the supermarket.
Three pots: one filled with Beef Butter Hotpot base, one a tomato pot, and one just plain water.
People could choose whichever they fancied.
Most still preferred the spicy Beef Butter Hotpot; it tasted strong and felt warming in such weather.
Their feast, the pots, the bases, the bowls and chopsticks, the ingredients, all were bought at the supermarket.
"Remember this—without the supermarket, there wouldn’t be this meal. If you ever see someone causing trouble for the boss, no matter what, you need to help," Xu Jiaoqin said sternly.
"Don’t worry, sis." Bai Yuanyuan, eating some freshly cooked meat that was still too hot, scrunched up her face but didn’t forget to agree with Xu Jiaoqin.
"The boss is like my reborn parents. Whoever dares to trouble the boss, I’ll risk my life to intervene." Even though the boss was powerful and might not need her help, the thought was what counted.
Having lived in the apocalypse this long, they really shouldn’t be thinking this way.
But the boss was just too good to them.
Too kind.
In a way, the boss really had given them a second chance at life.
So, if Su Yinhe ever faced any trouble and they happened to be around, they’d risk their lives to help her.
Su Yinhe didn’t know there was such a group of people willing to risk their lives for her just for buying some items.
They enjoyed a lively feast.
It was a rare luxury.
The ingredients were not cheap, after all.
Fresh vegetables and various types of fresh meat bought from the supermarket.
With so many people, they bought a lot.
Xu Jiaoqin felt her heart bleed when making the purchase.
With that much money, they could have bought a lot of rice or other supplies.
The feast they had today could have been exchanged for a month’s worth of staple food.
A month’s worth of food, just gobbled up like that.
Delicious it was, but it truly pained her heart.
But such luxurious occasions were rare. Next, they’d start scrimping and saving again.
No choice, they had to save.
This damned apocalypse, who knew when it would end.
Even the supermarket’s fate was uncertain.
Xu Jiaoqin once asked Su Yinhe about this.
Su Yinhe’s response was, "It depends on my mood."
She might move it whenever she pleased.
Or not move it at all if she didn’t feel like it.
The main principle was "Do as you please."
Xu Jiaoqin seriously wondered if Su Yinhe said that just because she laughed too loudly.
