"Just parroting what others say."
"That’s just how it is for you."
Laugh, laugh, laugh, aren’t you afraid of laughing yourself to death?
Su Yinhe admitted she was a bit malicious.
But she couldn’t help it.
Maybe she was just born a malicious woman.
"Boss, don’t sigh. Okay, I’ll stop laughing... hahahahaha... sorry, I couldn’t hold it back." Xu Jiaoqin had intended to stop laughing; after all, she was just a customer, and she ought to show some respect for the boss.
But for some reason, as she was trying to hold back her laughter, she saw the boss’s expression and couldn’t help herself again.
"Enough, enough, if you can’t hold it back, then don’t. Holding back too much isn’t good either." Su Yinhe patted her on the shoulder.
"Alright then, I won’t hold it back, hahahaha..." Xu Jiaoqin totally let herself go.
And started laughing again.
This time the laughter was particularly exaggerated, almost hysterical.
She was just being polite.
Do you not understand the concept of politeness?
Xu Jiaoqin didn’t get it at all.
But by then it was too late; she had already said what she’d said.
Su Yinhe kind of wanted to slap herself.
She really deserved to die.
Truly deserved to die.
That’s what she got for speaking without thinking.
Su Yinhe could only continue to watch her laugh.
Because of Xu Jiaoqin’s laughter, Su Yinhe didn’t send off any more gifts when they left today.
She, the boss, had her pride, too.
A little bit of revenge.
She had a kind heart and could only resort to this kind of revenge, if it could even be called revenge.
Su Yinhe shook her head, then started to become self-absorbed again.
She had a kind heart... hehehe...
Su Yinhe felt like her brain hadn’t been quite right lately.
She wondered if someone had eaten it.
She seemed brainless, with her intelligence plummeting rapidly these days.
As a result of recent shopping sprees, Cheetah Team’s supplies had significantly increased.
Their supplies were already plentiful.
Exchanged at the supermarket before.
After the supermarket had disappeared, they had become a bit scared; although they had already exchanged a lot, people are always worried it won’t be enough, using it sparingly when eating or consuming it.
A half was broken into several small pieces to use.
They had plenty of supplies, but they used them frugally.
Supplies were always limited, and they had to think of the future.
After returning from the supermarket, they bought a lot of things, replenishing the supplies they had previously consumed, and stocked up even more.
Now they were truly well-supplied.
Monkey suggested, "Sis, should we, I don’t know, have a big feast to celebrate?"
"Yeah, yeah. Let’s celebrate, sis. The supermarket’s back, and we’ve saved up so much supplies. We’ve got to celebrate this." Bai Yuanyuan’s eyes lit up at the prospect and quickly joined the persuasive chorus.
The others, hearing this, also had their eyes light up and joined in the persuasion.
"Yeah, yeah. Sis, doesn’t the weather just call for a hot meal? Let’s have a big feast to reward ourselves."
Xu Jiaoqin looked at the crowd gathered around her and couldn’t help but laugh with exasperation.
"Fine, fine, fine. You got it. Am I really such an unreasonable person? To need so many of you to convince me." Not to mention them, even Xu Jiaoqin herself wanted to have a proper feast.
She craved a delicious meal.
The snacks that the boss had given them before were tasty and plentiful, but somehow they just weren’t completely satisfying.
"Yeah! So, what kind of feast are we going to have?" Bai Yuanyuan was so excited she almost jumped, and after her celebration, she didn’t forget to grasp the essential question.
"Let’s set up a hotpot," Xu Jiaoqin thought for a moment and said.
In this kind of weather, anything else would cool down too quickly if eaten slowly.
They don’t have any heating now, so besides layering up, they’re relying on their own body heat.
But it’s different with a hotpot.
You can eat while you cook.
The food is still steaming hot when it reaches your mouth.
Although those Superpower Users, like them, eat quickly and would never let the food get cold before finishing it, Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✦𝓷𝓮𝓽
there’s something about eating hotpot together that’s so lively.
The Cheetah Team, especially when including family members, had quite a number of people.
So, Xu Jiaoqin went ahead and got three big pots boiling.
It was lucky that they had bought so many pots from the supermarket.
Three pots: one filled with Beef Butter Hotpot base, one tomato base, and one with just clear water.
Whichever you preferred, you go for that pot.
Most people still favored the spicy Beef Butter Hotpot; it had a strong flavor and seemed to warm them up a bit in this weather.
Their grand meal that day – the pots, the bases, the chopsticks and bowls, and the ingredients – were all purchased from the supermarket.
"Remember this, no supermarket, no meal . If anyone causes trouble for the boss in the future, no matter what, you all need to help out," Xu Jiaoqin said sternly.
"Don’t worry, sister," Bai Yuanyuan said while nibbling on a freshly-cooked piece of meat, her face wrinkled from the heat, but she still echoed Xu Jiaoqin’s words.
"The boss is like my life-saving benefactor. Whoever dares to trouble the boss, I’ll risk my life to intervene." Even though the boss was so powerful and might not need her help, her heart was in the right place.
Having survived in the apocalypse for so long, they really shouldn’t have these kinds of thoughts.
But the boss was that good to them.
To some extent, the boss truly gave them a second lease on life.
So, if Su Yinhe ever really encountered any issues and they happened to be around, they would risk their lives without a second thought to help her.
Su Yinhe had no idea that there was a group of people willing to lay down their lives for her just because they had bought a few things from her.
They had a noisy and hearty meal.
It was indeed a rare luxury.
You have to understand that the ingredients for that meal weren’t cheap.
Fresh vegetables, various kinds of fresh meats, all bought from the supermarket.
With so many people, they bought a lot.
When Xu Jiaoqin made the purchase, her heart was bleeding.
With all that money, think of how much rice, how many supplies they could buy.
The feast they had today, if converted into basic sustenance, would have been enough to last them a month if they rationed it.
An entire month’s worth of provisions, just blown away in one meal.
It was delicious, true, but it also truly pained her heart.
However, such luxury would only be indulged in once. After this, they would have to return to frugality.
There’s no other choice; they have to save what they have.
This damned apocalypse, who knows when it will end.
It was also uncertain when the supermarket would vanish.
Xu Jiaoqin had asked Su Yinhe that question.
Su Yinhe’s answer was dependent on her mood.
If she felt like moving it, she would.
If she didn’t want to move it, it could stay put forever.
The biggest draw was the "Do as you please" policy.
Xu Jiaoqin seriously suspected that Su Yinhe gave such an answer deliberately because she had laughed too loudly.
