"Should I go? Should I leave? Is that okay?"
"I just want to eat, I don’t care, if you don’t let me eat I’m going to make a fuss."
"It’s like that with you, anyway."
Try not to laugh yourself to death.
Su Yinhe admitted that she was a bit cruel.
But she couldn’t help it.
She might have been born a cruel woman.
"Boss, don’t sigh. I won’t laugh anymore...hahahahaha...sorry, couldn’t hold it back." Xu Jiaoqin really didn’t 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 it.
"Alright, alright, if you can’t hold it, don’t hold it. Being too resilient isn’t always good," Su Yinhe patted her shoulder.
"Okay then, I won’t hold back hahahaha..." Xu Jiaoqin completely let go.
And started laughing loudly.
This time, laughing hysterically, to the point of appearing neurotic.
Do you even understand what politeness is?
Xu Jiaoqin, not at all.
But it was too late now, she had already spoken.
Su Yinhe was a bit inclined to smack herself.
She really deserved to die.
Truly deserved to die.
That’s what she gets for talking nonsense, the consequences of speaking without thinking.
Su Yinhe could only continue to watch her laugh.
Because of Xu Jiaoqin’s laughter, today, when they left, Su Yinhe decided not to give them anything else.
She, the boss, needed to maintain her dignity.
Her heart was kind, she only dared to take this kind of revenge, which couldn’t really be considered revenge at all.
Su Yinhe shook her head, then started to self-indulge in her thoughts again.
Her heart was kind... hehehe...
Su Yinhe felt that her mind wasn’t quite right lately.
She wondered if someone had eaten it.
She was like a brainless person, her IQ rapidly dropping.
Because of the recent shopping spree at the supermarket, the Cheetah Team’s supplies had significantly increased.
They already had a lot of supplies.
Previously traded at the supermarket.
After the disappearance of the supermarket, they were somewhat afraid, although they had traded for a lot, but people are like that, always worried it wouldn’t be enough, using everything sparingly.
Breaking one half into several pieces to use.
They had a lot of supplies, but they were frugal in using them.
Supplies are always limited, they always had to think about the future.
After coming back from the supermarket, they bought a lot of things, replenishing their consumed supplies all at once, and even had a lot extra.
They were now quite well-stocked.
Monkey then suggested, "Sis, should we have a grand meal to celebrate?"
"Yeah, yeah. Sis, let’s celebrate. The supermarket is back, and we’ve saved up so much supplies, we really should celebrate," Bai Yuanyuan’s eyes lit up the moment she heard it and quickly joined the persuasion team.
Hearing this, everyone else’s eyes shone too and they joined in persuading.
"Yeah, yeah. Sis, look at this weather, isn’t it perfect for a hot meal? Let’s have a feast, to treat ourselves."
Xu Jiaoqin looked at the circle of people around her and nearly burst into laughter.
"Fine, fine, fine. I agree with you all. Do I really seem like such an unreasonable person? It requires so many of you to persuade me." Not just them, Xu Jiaoqin wanted to have a feast herself.
She wanted to enjoy a delicious meal.
The snacks provided by the boss before were tasty and plentiful, sure, but they were still not quite satisfying enough.
"Yay! So, what feast are we going to have?" Bai Yuanyuan was close to jumping with joy, and after being happy, she didn’t forget to focus on the crucial question.
"Let’s set up a pot," Xu Jiaoqin said after thinking for a while.
With this weather, anything else would get cold too quickly if you eat too slowly.
Right now, they didn’t have any heating—they relied on wearing thick clothes and their own body heat.
But it was different with a hot pot.
You could eat while cooking.
It would still be steaming when you put it in your mouth.
Even though they, as Superpower Users, usually ate quickly and would never let the food cool down before finishing it,
eating hot pot was a lively affair.
Cheetah Team had quite a number of people, especially when you counted the family members.
So, Xu Jiaoqin set up three big pots all at once.
It was also fortunate that they had bought so many big pots from the supermarket.
Three pots—one with Beef Butter Hotpot base, one with tomato, and the other was just plain water.
Pick whichever pot you fancied.
Most people still preferred the spicy Beef Butter Hotpot; it had a stronger flavor and seemed to make you feel warmer in this weather.
Their grand meal—the pots, the ingredients, the chopsticks and bowls, the food—was all bought from the supermarket.
"Remember this, no supermarket, no feast . If anyone gives the boss trouble in the future, no matter what, we’ve got to lend a hand," Xu Jiaoqin said seriously.
"Don’t worry, sis," Bai Yuanyuan echoed as she ate the freshly cooked meat that was so hot her face scrunched up, but she didn’t forget to agree with Xu Jiaoqin.
"The boss is like a parent to me. Anyone who dares to trouble the boss, I’m willing to risk my life to step in," she added. Even though the boss was so capable and probably didn’t need her help, the sentiment was there.
Having lived through the apocalypse for so long, it wouldn’t be normal for them to develop such feelings.
But the boss had been really good.
In a way, the boss had really given them a second chance at life.
So, if Su Yinhe ever really ran into trouble and they happened to be around, they definitely would risk their lives to help her, no matter what.
Su Yinhe had no idea that a group of people was willing to risk their lives for her just because they had bought a few things from her.
They had a loud and lively grand meal.
It was indeed a rare indulgence.
Considering the cost of the ingredients was not small.
Fresh vegetables from the supermarket, various kinds of fresh meat.
They had bought a lot since there were so many of them.
When Xu Jiaoqin had made the purchase, it was painful.
That much money could have bought a lot of rice, a lot of supplies.
The meal they had today could have been exchanged for enough basic food to last them a month, if they were frugal.
A month’s worth of food just gone, just like that.
It was tasty, for sure, but they really felt the pinch.
However, it was just this one time that they had indulged themselves. From now on, they would be back to tightening their belts.
There was no choice, they had to save.
This damn apocalypse never seemed to end.
And who knew when the supermarket might disappear.
Xu Jiaoqin had asked Su Yinhe about this.
Su Yinhe’s answer was that it depended on her mood.
She would move it if she wanted to.
If she didn’t want to move, it could stay forever.
"Do as you please" was her main approach.
Xu Jiaoqin seriously wondered if it was because she laughed too loud that Su Yinhe had deliberately given such an answer.
