Chapter 576: Daughter Wine
"This is top-notch Daughter Wine, it’ll get you drunk, are you sure you want to drink a whole jar?"
"For you, it’s just that."
Su Yinhe: "..."
Laugh, laugh, laugh, not afraid of laughing yourself to death.
Su Yinhe admitted she was a bit malicious.
But she couldn’t help herself.
Maybe she was just born a malicious woman.
Su Yinhe sighed.
"Boss, don’t sigh. I’ll stop laughing... hahaha... sorry, couldn’t hold it in." Xu Jiaoqin wasn’t planning to laugh anymore; she was just a customer, after all, and wanted to give the boss some respect.
But for some reason, while she was trying to hold back her laughter, seeing the boss’s expression made her lose it all over again.
"Okay, okay, if you can’t hold it in, then don’t. It’s not good to hold back too much anyway." Su Yinhe patted her shoulder.
"Alright then, I won’t hold back hahaha..." Xu Jiaoqin completely let herself go.
And started laughing again.
This time, the laughter was especially exaggerated, almost hysterical.
Su Yinhe: "..."
She was just being polite.
Did she even know what being polite was?
Xu Jiaoqin didn’t have a clue.
But by then it was too late, what was said was said.
Su Yinhe kind of wanted to smack herself.
She really deserved to die.
Truly, she deserved death.
This is what she got for babbling nonsense, the consequences of babbling nonsense are just like this.
Su Yinhe could only continue watching her laugh.
Because of Xu Jiaoqin’s laughter, when it was time for them to leave today, Su Yinhe didn’t send them off with anything extra.
She, the boss, also had her pride.
A small, petty revenge.
Her heart overflowed with kindness; she only dared to take this sort of revenge, even if it could hardly be called revenge.
Su Yinhe shook her head, then started to get narcissistic again.
Her heart was filled with kindness... hehehe...
Su Yinhe felt like her brain really hadn’t been working well lately.
Perhaps someone had eaten it.
She was like a brainless person, with her IQ dropping rapidly of late.
Because they had bought a lot of stuff at the supermarket recently, the Cheetah Team’s supplies had significantly increased.
They already had plenty of supplies.
Previously exchanged at the supermarket.
After the supermarket vanished, they were a bit scared; although they had exchanged quite a lot, people are like that, always worried it wasn’t enough, being frugal with food and everything else.
Breaking half a cookie into several small pieces to use.
They had plenty but were still frugal with supplies.
Supplies were always limited; they always had to think about the future.
After the supermarket came back, they bought a lot of stuff, quickly replenishing what they’d used. And they stored even more.
Now they were in abundance.
Monkey then suggested, "Sis, should we throw a big feast to celebrate?"
"Yeah, yeah, sis, let’s celebrate. The supermarket is back, and we’ve saved up so much stuff, we’ve got to celebrate," Bai Yuanyuan said with shining eyes, quickly joining the persuasion squad.
Hearing this, the others’ eyes lit up, too, and they joined the persuasion squad.
"Yeah, yeah, sis, look at this weather, isn’t it just perfect for a hearty meal? Let’s have a feast to reward ourselves."
Xu Jiaoqin looked at the crowd gathered around her and nearly burst into laughter.
"Alright, alright. I promise. Am I such an unreasonable person that it takes so many people to convince me?" And it wasn’t just them – Xu Jiaoqin herself fancied a big meal.
She wanted to have a delicious meal.
The snacks the boss had given before were tasty indeed, and there were plenty, but no matter what, they still weren’t quite satisfying enough.
"Yay! So, what kind of feast are we having?" Bai Yuanyuan almost jumped with joy, and after her excitement subsided, she grabbed hold of the key question.
"Let’s make a hotpot," Xu Jiaoqin decided after a moment’s thought.
In this kind of weather, making anything else meant that if you eat too slowly, it would soon go cold.
They didn’t have what you’d call heating now; besides wearing thick clothes, keeping warm depended on their own body heat.
But a hotpot is different.
You can eat and cook at the same time.
Whatever you’re eating is still steaming hot.
Though these Superpower Users all ate pretty fast, and eating freshly cooked food certainly wouldn’t let anything get cold unfinished,
the thing is, eating hotpot is lively.
Especially since the Cheetah Team had quite a number of people, particularly when counting family members.
So, Xu Jiaoqin set up three big pots to cook in one go.
It was also fortunate that they had bought so many big pots at the supermarket.
Three pots, one with Beef Butter Hotpot base, one was a tomato pot, and the other was just a purist clear water pot.
Whichever one you fancied, that’s the pot you’d head to.
Most people preferred the spicy Beef Butter Hotpot; eating it felt right in this weather, as it seemed to warm them up a few degrees.
Their feast consisted of the hotpot, supermarket-bought ingredients, and even the chopsticks and bowls were from the supermarket; the raw materials were, yet again, purchased at the supermarket.
"Remember this, without the supermarket, we wouldn’t be having this meal. If you ever see anyone causing trouble for the boss, no matter what, you must lend a hand," Xu Jiaoqin said seriously.
"Don’t worry, sis," Bai Yuanyuan, munching on some meat freshly cooked and so hot that her face all scrunched up, didn’t forget to echo Xu Jiaoqin’s words.
"The boss is like a parent to me. Whoever dares to trouble the boss, I’m willing to risk my life to step in." Although the boss was so capable that she might not need her help, she still felt strongly about it.
After living through the apocalypse for so long, logically, they shouldn’t have these kinds of thoughts.
But the boss was just too good.
Too good to them.
To some extent, the boss truly gave them a second lease on life.
So, if Su Yinhe ever did run into trouble and they happened to be around, they would definitely risk their lives to help her, no matter what.
Su Yinhe had no idea that there was a group of people who, having just bought a few things, would be willing to put their lives on the line for her.
They relished the big meal heartily and merrily.
It was indeed a rare luxury.
Because the ingredients for this feast weren’t cheap at all.
Fresh vegetables from the supermarket, all sorts of fresh meats.
There were many of them, and they had bought a lot.
When Xu Jiaoqin was purchasing them, it pained her heart.
That much money could have bought so much rice, so many supplies.
Today’s feast, if exchanged for more basic sustenance, would have been enough to last them a month if rationed.
A month’s food, just woofed down like that.
It was delicious, yes, but also truly heartbreaking.
But such a splurge was rare. After that, it was back to tightening their belts and scrimping again.
There was no choice; they had to save.
This damned apocalypse never seemed to end.
Who knew when the supermarket would cease to exist.
Xu Jiaoqin had asked Su Yinhe this question.
Su Yinhe’s answer was: Do as you please.
If she wanted to move it, she would.
If she didn’t feel like moving, she could keep it there forever.
Her main emphasis was on doing whatever she wanted.
Xu Jiaoqin seriously suspected that it was because she laughed too loudly that Su Yinhe deliberately said such a thing.
