Capítulo 594: Substitute Literature
Su Yinhe had recently become obsessed with all kinds of stand-in literature, addicted to an exasperating degree.
“I just want to eat, I don’t care, if you don’t let me eat, I’m going to make a scene.”
“That’s just how it is with you.”
Su Yinhe: “…”
Laugh, laugh, laugh, as if you’re not afraid of laughing 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.
Su Yinhe sighed.
“Boss, don’t sigh. I won’t laugh anymore… Hahahahaha… Sorry, I couldn’t hold it in.” Xu Jiaoqin really didn’t want to laugh anymore, she was just a customer, after all, she needed to give the boss some respect.
But for some reason, as she was trying to hold back her laughter, seeing the boss’s expression, she lost control again.
“Alright, alright, if you can’t hold it, don’t. Being too enduring isn’t a good thing.” Su Yinhe patted her shoulder.
“Okay then, I won’t hold back hahaha…” Xu Jiaoqin completely gave up on restraining herself.
And burst into loud laughter.
This time the laughter was particularly exaggerated, almost hysterical.
Su Yinhe: “…”
She was just being polite.
Do you even understand what politeness means?
Xu Jiaoqin did not understand at all.
But by that time, it was too late, she had said it already.
Su Yinhe kind of wanted to smack herself.
She really deserved to die.
Really deserved it.
That’s what she got for blabbering, this is what happens when you blabber.
Su Yinhe could only continue watching her laugh.
Because of Xu Jiaoqin’s laughter, today, as they left, Su Yinhe didn’t hand out any freebies.
She, the boss, also needed to keep her dignity.
A little bit of retaliation.
She was kind-hearted, daring to only employ such retaliation, and even then, it hardly counted as retaliation.
Su Yinhe shook her head, and then, as she thought about it, she became self-absorbed again.
She was kind-hearted… hehehe…
Su Yinhe felt that her brain recently wasn’t quite right.
She wondered if someone had eaten it.
She seemed brainless, her intelligence had plummeted drastically of late.
Because of a recent shopping spree at the supermarket, the Cheetah Team’s supplies had greatly increased.
Their supplies were already plentiful.
They had exchanged for them at the supermarket earlier.
After the supermarket vanished, they had been a bit scared. They had exchanged plenty already, but people are like that, always worried there won’t be enough, being thrifty with food and everything else.
Breaking a single piece into several small bits to use.
Their supplies were plentiful, but they used them thriftily.
Supplies are always limited, they had to consider the future.
After the supermarket’s return, they bought a lot and instantly replenished what they had used up and added even more.
Now they were really well-off.
Monkey then suggested, “Sis, should we, you know, have a big feast to celebrate?”
“Exactly, sis, let’s celebrate. The supermarket is back, and we’ve saved up so much. We’ve got to celebrate this.” Yuanyuan’s eyes lit up as she heard this and quickly joined the persuasion squad.
Others, hearing this, had their eyes light up too and joined the persuasion squad.
“Yeah, yeah, Sis, look at this weather, isn’t it just perfect for a hot meal? Let’s have a big feast, to treat ourselves.”
Xu Jiaoqin, looking at the people crowding around her, almost burst out laughing.
“Alright, alright, alright. I promise you guys. Am I such an unreasonable person that so many need to convince me?” Not to mention them, Xu Jiaoqin wanted a feast herself.
She longed for something tasty.
The snacks the boss had given them before were tasty and plenty, but no matter what, they still weren’t completely satisfying.
“Yeah! So what feast are we having?” Bai Yuanyuan was so excited she almost jumped up, and after celebrating, she didn’t forget to focus on the important question.
“Let’s set up a pot,” Xu Jiaoqin thought for a moment and then suggested.
In this kind of weather, if you prepare something else and eat too slowly, it cools down after a while.
They had no heating tool now; other than wearing thick clothes, they relied on their own body to keep warm.
Setting up a pot was different.
You can eat while you cook.
The food was still steaming hot when it hit your mouth.
Although they, as Superpower Users, ate pretty quickly and would definitely not let the food cool down before finishing it,
there was something lively and enjoyable about eating from a pot.
Cheetah Team had quite a number of people, especially when including family members.
So Xu Jiaoqin set up three big pots in one go.
It was fortunate that they had bought so many pots from the supermarket.
Three pots—one with Beef Butter Hotpot seasoning, one with tomato, and one just plain water.
Whichever you like, you can go to that pot.
Most people still preferred the spicy Beef Butter Hotpot; it had a strong flavor, and in this weather, eating it seemed to make you a few degrees warmer.
Their feast— the pots, the seasoning, the chopsticks, and bowls, as well as the ingredients, were all bought from the supermarket.
“Remember this, no supermarket, no feast today. If we see anyone causing trouble for the boss in the future, we must help out no matter what,” Xu Jiaoqin said seriously.
“Don’t worry, sis,” Bai Yuanyuan, who was eating the freshly scalded meat, had her face all scrunched up from the heat, but she didn’t forget to echo Xu Jiaoqin’s sentiment.
“The boss is like my parents reborn. If anyone dares to trouble the boss, I’ll risk my life if necessary to intervene.” Although the boss was so formidable she might not need her help, she had that level of loyalty.
Having lived through the apocalypse for so long, they shouldn’t really have such thoughts in theory.
However, the boss was just too good to them.
Too kind to them.
To some extent, the boss really had given them a second life.
So, if Su Yinhe truly encountered any trouble one day, and they happened to be there, they would risk their lives without question to help her.
Su Yinhe didn’t know that there were people willing to risk their lives for her, just after buying some items.
They finished their feast amidst much noise and celebration.
It was rare for them to be so extravagant.
After all, the ingredients for this feast weren’t cheap.
Fresh vegetables and various meats from the supermarket.
There were many of them, so they bought a lot.
When Xu Jiaoqin was buying, her heart was bleeding.
With that much money, how much rice could have been bought, how many supplies.
The feast they had today, if they had bought staple foods instead, they could have lasted a month if they conserved.
A month’s worth of food was just devoured like that.
It was delicious indeed, but the heartache was real.
However, it was just this once they indulged in such extravagance; after this, they were back to tightening their belts.
There was no choice; they needed to save.
This damned apocalypse, who knew when it would end.
And who knew when the supermarket would disappear.
Xu Jiaoqin asked Su Yinhe this question.
Su Yinhe’s answer was that it depended on the mood.
She’d move it if she felt like it.
Or not move it for a lifetime if not inclined.
The whole idea was Do as you please.
Xu Jiaoqin seriously wondered if it was because she laughed too loudly that Su Yinhe deliberately said that.
