Chapter 562: Fruit salad
“Do you not think this fruit salad is exceptionally delicious?” Lin Murong asked, blinking and full of insinuation.
“For you, maybe.”
Su Yinhe: “…”
Laugh, laugh, laugh, not afraid of laughing to death.
Su Yinhe admitted she was a bit malicious.
But she couldn’t help it.
She was probably 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 initially didn’t want to laugh, she was just a customer, after all, needing to give the boss some face.
But for some reason, just when she was holding back her laughter, seeing the boss’s expression made her lose control again.
“Alright, alright, if you can’t hold it back, then don’t. Holding it back too much isn’t good either,” Su Yinhe patted her shoulder.
“Okay, then I won’t hold back hahaha…” Xu Jiaoqin completely let go.
And started laughing loudly again.
This time, her laughter was especially exaggerated, almost like she was unhinged.
Su Yinhe: “…”
She was just being polite.
Don’t you know what being polite means?
Xu Jiaoqin, totally clueless.
But by that time, it was too late, she had already spoken.
Su Yinhe kind of wanted to smack herself.
She really deserved to die.
She really, really deserved it.
That’s what she got for talking nonsense, facing the consequences of her words.
Su Yinhe could only continue watching her laugh.
Because of Xu Jiaoqin’s laughter, Su Yinhe ended up not giving away anything extra when they were leaving that day.
She, the boss, needed to save face too.
Just a little revenge.
Her heart was kind, daring only such mild revenge that it barely counted as revenge.
Su Yinhe shook her head, then, thinking about it, she became self-absorbed again.
Her heart was kind… hehehe…
Su Yinhe felt that recently, her brain really wasn’t in good shape.
Didn’t know if someone had eaten it.
She was like brainless, her intelligence plummeting rapidly.
Because of buying a lot of stuff at the supermarket recently, Cheetah Team’s supplies had greatly increased.
Their supplies were already plentiful.
Exchanged previously at the supermarket.
After the supermarket disappeared, they were a bit worried, although they had already exchanged a lot, people are always worried it won’t be enough, being frugal when eating or using things.
Snapping a half into several small pieces to use.
They had a lot of supplies but also used them frugally.
Supplies are always limited, they always had to consider the future.
After returning from the supermarket, they bought a lot more stuff, quickly replenishing the supplies they had used up. They even stashed away a lot more.
Now they were well-stocked.
Monkey then suggested, “Sis, should we, maybe, have a feast to celebrate?”
“Yes, yes. Sis, let’s celebrate. The supermarket is back, and we’ve saved up so much stuff, we really should celebrate,” Bai Yuanyuan heard this and her eyes lit up, quickly joining the persuasion team.
The others, upon hearing this, also had their eyes light up and joined the persuasion team.
“Yeah, yeah. Sis, look at the weather, isn’t it just perfect for a warm meal? Let’s have a feast and treat ourselves.”
Xu Jiaoqin looked at the circle of people surrounding her, almost bursting into laughter.
“Alright, alright. I agree. Am I such an unreasonable person that so many people need to persuade me?” As if they needed to, Xu Jiaoqin herself was already keen on preparing a feast.
She wanted to eat something delicious.
The snacks that the boss had given before were tasty and plentiful, but no matter what, they were still not quite satisfying enough.
“Yay! What feast are we having then?” Bai Yuanyuan almost jumped up with excitement, and after celebrating, she didn’t forget to address the key issue.
“Let’s set up a hotpot.” Xu Jiaoqin suggested after thinking for a while.
With this weather, anything else would cool down too quickly if eaten slowly.
They didn’t have any heating now, their only options were to wear thicker clothes or rely on their own body heat.
But a hotpot was different.
You could eat and cook simultaneously.
The food would still be steaming hot when it reached your mouth.
Although these Superpower Users could eat anything quickly, eating freshly cooked food meant it never got cold before it was finished.
But more importantly, eating from a hotpot was lively.
Especially considering the size of the Cheetah Team, and even more so when including family members.
So Xu Jiaoqin decided to set up three big pots to cook in.
It was a good thing they had bought so many large pots from the supermarket.
Three pots—one with Beef Butter Hotpot base, another with a tomato base, and the last one just clear water.
You could choose whichever pot you liked.
Most people still preferred the spicy Beef Butter Hotpot; it was flavorful and seemed to add a bit of warmth in this weather.
This feast—pots, ingredients, chopsticks, and bowls—all bought from the supermarket.
“Remember, without the supermarket, we wouldn’t have this meal. If you see someone causing trouble for the boss in the future, no matter what, help out.” Xu Jiaoqin said sternly.
“Don’t worry, sis.” Bai Yuanyuan, chewing on some freshly cooked meat, grimaced from the heat but didn’t forget to echo Xu Jiaoqin’s words.
“The boss is like my second parents; if anyone dares to trouble the boss, I’d risk my life to intervene.” Although the boss was so formidable that she might not need her help, she still felt this deeply.
They had been living in the apocalypse for so long that normally, they wouldn’t have such thoughts.
But the boss was just too good to them.
In a sense, the boss had given them a second life.
So, if Su Yinhe ever found herself in trouble and they happened to be there, they would risk their lives to help her, no doubt about it.
Su Yinhe didn’t realize she had a group of people willing to risk their lives for her just because they had bought a few things from her.
They had a boisterous and large meal.
It was indeed a rare indulgence.
You see, the ingredients for this meal weren’t cheap.
Fresh vegetables and various types of fresh meat bought from the supermarket.
There were many of them, and they had bought a lot.
When Xu Jiaoqin was buying them, her heart was bleeding.
With that much money, they could have bought so much rice and supplies.
The feast they had today, if exchanged for simpler food, could have lasted them for a month if they were frugal.
A month’s worth of food, just gone like that.
It was delicious, but it was truly painful to think about.
But it was just a rare indulgence; after that, they started their frugal days again.
There was no choice, they needed to save.
This damn apocalypse, who knew when it would end.
It was also uncertain when the supermarket would disappear.
Xu Jiaoqin had asked Su Yinhe about this.
Su Yinhe’s response was that it depended on her mood.
She would move it if she wanted to.
If she didn’t feel like moving, it could stay forever.
Her policy was simply “Do as you please.”
Xu Jiaoqin seriously wondered if Su Yinhe said this just because she laughed too loudly.
