"Not bad, good-looking and hardworking. I like it; let’s keep him around,"
Su Yinhe admitted to herself that she was a bit malicious.
But she couldn’t help it.
She might just be a naturally malicious woman.
"Boss, don’t sigh. I’ve stopped laughing... Hahahahaha... Sorry, I couldn’t hold it in," Xu Jiaoqin originally did not want 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, the sight of the boss’s expression made her lose control again.
"Alright, alright, if you can’t hold it in, don’t. Being too tolerant isn’t always good either," Su Yinhe patted her shoulder.
"Fine, then I won’t hold it in, hahahaha..." Xu Jiaoqin completely let go.
And started to laugh wildly again.
This time she laughed even more exaggeratedly, with an almost hysterical vibe.
She was just being polite.
Doesn’t anyone understand what being polite means?
Xu Jiaoqin, not in the slightest.
But by this time, it was too late; she had already said what she said.
Su Yinhe somewhat wanted to smack herself.
She really deserved to die.
That’s what she gets for speaking without thinking. Speaking carelessly always ends .
Su Yinhe could only continue watching her laugh.
Because of Xu Jiaoqin’s laughter, when Su Yinhe watched them leave today, she didn’t offer any gifts like before.
She, the boss, also had her pride.
A small act of revenge.
She, with her kind heart, only dared to retaliate in this mild manner, and it couldn’t even really be called retaliation.
Su Yinhe shook her head and then, while thinking, started to feel self-admiration again.
She, with her kind heart... hehehe...
Su Yinhe felt that her brain really hadn’t been working well lately.
She wondered if someone had devoured it.
She was like a brainless person, her intelligence had plummeted rapidly of late.
Because they had bought so many things from the supermarket recently, Cheetah Team’s supplies had greatly increased once more.
Their supplies had already been plentiful.
They had traded for them at the supermarket before.
After the supermarket vanished, they were a bit scared, and although they had already traded for a lot, people are like that, always worried it won’t be enough. When eating or using, they were very frugal.
Breaking a half in several pieces to use. This content belongs to noⅴelfire.net
They had plenty of supplies but used them frugally.
Supplies are always limited; they always had to consider the future.
After the supermarket’s return, they bought a lot more stuff, quickly replenishing what they had used up. They even stored extra.
Now they had an abundance.
Monkey then proposed, "Sis, should we, maybe, have a feast to celebrate?"
"Yeah, yeah! Sis, let’s have a celebration. The supermarket has come back, and we’ve saved up so much supplies, we ought to celebrate," Bai Yuanyuan lit up at the idea and quickly joined the persuasion crew.
Others, hearing this, lit up as well and joined in the chorus of persuasion.
"Yes, yes! Sis, look at this weather, isn’t it just perfect for a warm meal? Let’s have a big feast and treat ourselves well."
Xu Jiaoqin, looking at the circle of people around her, almost burst into laughter.
"Okay, okay, I agree. Am I such an unreasonable person? Do I need so many of you to persuade me?" Never mind them, Xu Jiaoqin herself wanted to prepare a big meal.
She wanted to eat something delicious.
The snacks the boss had given them before were delicious, and there were plenty, but they still weren’t quite satisfying enough.
"Yay! So what big meal are we having?" Bai Yuanyuan almost jumped for joy, and after her excitement, she didn’t forget to focus on the crucial question.
"Let’s do a hotpot," Xu Jiaoqin suggested after some thought.
With this kind of weather, anything else would get cold too quickly if eaten slowly.
They didn’t have any heating now; apart from wearing thick clothes, they could only rely on their body heat to keep warm.
But hotpot was different.
You could eat and cook at the same time.
The food would still be steaming hot when it hit your mouth.
Although they, as Superpower Users, ate pretty quickly and wouldn’t let the food cool down before finishing it,
eating hotpot was more lively.
Especially considering the number of people in the Cheetah Team, and that was before counting their families.
So, Xu Jiaoqin set up three big pots to cook all at once.
It was a good thing they had bought so many big pots from the supermarket.
Out of the three pots, one had Beef Butter Hotpot base, another was a tomato pot, and the last one was just plain water.
Whichever you preferred, that was the pot you went to.
Most people still favored the spicy Beef Butter Hotpot; it had enough flavor and seemed to warm them up a bit more in this weather.
Their feast of a meal— pots, supermarket-bought; bases, supermarket-bought; chopsticks and bowls, supermarket-bought; ingredients, still from the supermarket.
"Remember this, no supermarket, no feast. If anyone causes trouble for the boss later, no matter what, we’ve got to help out," Xu Jiaoqin said seriously.
"Don’t worry, sis," Bai Yuanyuan replied while munching on freshly cooked meat. It was so hot that her face scrunched up, but she still echoed Xu Jiaoqin’s words.
"The boss is my second parents. If anyone dares trouble the boss, even at the cost of my life, I’d step in." The boss might not need her help, being so powerful, but she was willing.
They had been living in the apocalypse for quite some time now, and normally, they shouldn’t have developed such thoughts.
But the boss had been too good to them.
In a certain sense, the boss had indeed given them a second chance at life.
So, if Su Yinhe ever really encountered any problems and they were around, they would risk their lives to help her out without hesitation.
Su Yinhe was unaware that there was a group of people who, after buying just a little from her, were willing to risk their lives for her.
They finished their festive and bustling meal.
It was a rare luxury.
After all, the ingredients for this meal weren’t cheap.
Fresh vegetables, various kinds of fresh meat, all bought from the supermarket.
Their group was large, so they had bought a lot.
When Xu Jiaoqin was purchasing, her heart bled.
With that much money, they could have bought so much rice, so many supplies.
The big meal they had today, had they exchanged it for more sustaining food, they could have eaten modestly for a month.
A month’s worth of food, just gobbled up like that.
Delicious as it was, it also truly pained their hearts.
But it was just a rare splurge; after this, they would go back to tightening their belts.
They had no choice; they needed to save.
This damned apocalypse, who knew when it would end.
No idea when the supermarket would disappear either.
Xu Jiaoqin had asked Su Yinhe this question.
Her answer was "Do as you please."
She would move if she felt like it.
If she didn’t want to move, she could stay put forever.
Her policy was pure whim.
Xu Jiaoqin seriously suspected that Su Yinhe had said this just because she laughed too loudly.
