Apocalypse: I have a supermarket stocked with supplies-Chapter 27 - : Stir-fried Bok Choy
Chapter 27: Stir-fried Bok Choy
Su Yinhe watched as Chi Yan eagerly devoured a cup of sugar and then poured another to continue eating.
Chi Yan radiated a pleasant aura.
How much did he love sweets?
Su Yinhe pondered this question, but not for long, as lunchtime was nearing.

She told them she was going to prepare lunch and went up to the fifth floor to cook.
All six pots of rice were already steamed, and she washed the ingredients to start cooking.
...
Considering Chi Yan’s preference for sweets, she made sweet and sour ribs and tomato egg drop soup specially.
Then she cooked according to her own taste—boiled shrimp, pan-fried two saury fish, and stir-fried some bok choy.
As for the five workers, Su Yinhe did not prepare extra dishes for them—it was annoying to cook in the summer heat, and even air conditioning didn’t help.
But when she went downstairs, she brought them several cans of braised pork and marinated eggs and picked up some cold dishes from the prepared food section.
Fortunately, she had many enhancements and also a space superpower; otherwise, it would have been difficult to carry all these items.
Thinking of the table outside the supermarket, which they had made themselves.
Feeding them and providing dishes, she couldn’t just leave the cans and cold dishes on the ground for them to eat standing up.
Even if it were okay to put those directly on the ground, she wouldn’t want her rice cooker placed there.
So, she also grabbed several folding tables.
Lucky for her, her supermarket was huge and stocked with everything.
When Su Yinhe went down, revealing item by item in front of Chi Yan and Lin Murong, Chi Yan was expressionless and unreactive, but Lin Murong almost popped his eyes out.
How did everyone have a space?
He didn’t. Lin Murong turned into a lemon tree.
“Boss, are you also a Space-element Superpower User?” The supermarket had suddenly appeared outside the base, and many people in the base were speculating about the boss’s background, but no one knew.
Lin Murong was also very curious.
Before, they weren’t very familiar, and he didn’t dare to ask.
Now that everyone had seen Chi Yan munching on sugar, and he had also gossiped with the boss, they were somewhat acquainted.
So Lin Murong boldly asked.
Su Yinhe paused, sensing Lin Murong’s probing.
“Sort of.”
“Then, Galaxy, do you have any other superpowers? Chi Yan has two types of superpowers, one you’ve seen—the Space-element Superpower—and the other is Water Power,” pushed Lin Murong upon receiving Su Yinhe’s reply, feeling it was a sign of trust from her and cheekily using a closer nickname.
Moreover, to learn more, he sold out Chi Yan.
Of course, Su Yinhe had no superpowers at all. The space was scammed from the system. She had scammed so much at that time, she couldn’t remember, and who knew if there were others.
Hence, Su Yinhe answered vaguely and brushed it off.
Lin Murong didn’t know if he believed her or not but started asking other questions.
However, when Su Yinhe brought out the dishes, his mouth automatically shut, his eyes fixated on the plate of bok choy.
“So green, I love it.” Such a well-behaved vegetable, green and clearly healthy.
Unlike other mutated vegetables, which were not green and either purple or red; strangely colored, weird tasting, and toxic.
One bite could cause convulsions and eating two could send one to the hereafter.
And that wasn’t all; they could even attack people.
Ordinary vegetables had become more ferocious than animals.
Lin Murong couldn’t remember the last time he saw such green vegetables.
After the apocalypse, only a few plots of soil remained uncontaminated, but even these soils contained certain pollutants, coupled with airborne pollutants, making it extremely easy for humans to grow mutated vegetables, which often flung the farmer with a single leaf.
Only some powerful Wood Element Superpower Users could grow unmutated vegetables, but those vegetables also looked sickly and malnourished.
Even so, once these vegetables were grown, they would be snatched up by wealthy individuals not lacking supplies.
A small malnourished vegetable could be traded for a bag of rice.
Chi Yan had stored quite a lot in his space previously, but after two years, they were gone.
He was not interested in those sickly kinds of vegetables.
He would rather eat two Vitamin Cs than settle for less.
Chi Yan didn’t even have anything to eat, let alone Lin Murong.
So, when Su Yinhe brought out the plate of bok choy, it firmly captured both of their attentions.
Lin Murong was frantically swallowing his saliva.
Chi Yan was a bit more reserved, but his longing for the greens was apparent.
Seeing this, Su Yinhe didn’t waste time. After serving their meals, he quickly brought out the folding tables, set them up, and called the five men to eat.
Then, he returned to their table and was the first to pick up some bok choy with his chopsticks.
“You can eat now.”
After Su Yinhe had started, neither Chi Yan nor Lin Murong could hold back anymore.
Their chopsticks moved so fast they blurred.
Lin Murong didn’t care about appearances at all, crazily diving for the bok choy.
Although Chi Yan was restrained, his speed was even faster than Lin Murong’s.
Yet, even so, his dining motions were very elegant.
Among the four dishes, the bok choy disappeared first.
Su Yinhe had just blinked, and the bok choy was gone.
Lin Murong even poured the vegetable juice into his bowl to mix with rice.
But as he was mixing, he remembered Su Yinhe.
“Galaxy…” Lin Murong felt a bit embarrassed.
Chi Yan glanced at Su Yinhe, and his ears turned red.
“It’s okay.”
Su Yinhe wasn’t short on greens; naturally, he didn’t mind this bit.
“Don’t be shy, eat more.”
Hearing Su Yinhe’s words, Lin Murong lost his embarrassment and targeted the tomato egg-drop soup.
Chi Yan gave her an apologetic look, then joined the scramble for food.
Of course, his movements remained elegant.
Even eating soup-soaked rice was done elegantly.
There wasn’t much rice in Su Yinhe’s bowl; after she ate a little mackerel, she was done.
Then she just watched them eat.
Soon, every plate was clean.
Spotless.
Both Chi Yan and Lin Murong had overeaten.
Lin Murong was okay; he was used to overeating.
But Chi Yan, who usually ate until only 80% full, was not accustomed to feeling so stuffed for the first time.
He felt somewhat embarrassed looking at Su Yinhe.
“Ahem.” Su Yinhe held back her laughter and collected the dishes and chopsticks into the space, planning to wash them in the evening.
“Galaxy, you must be a Fairy sent from heaven to save me.” Lin Murong looked at Su Yinhe with affection.
Before Su Yinhe could react, Chi Yan’s face turned stern as he glared at Lin Murong with a deadly stare.
“Galaxy, can we still hang out together… Ouch! Chi Yan, why did you step on me?” Lin Murong suddenly jumped up.
“My foot slipped.” Chi Yan gave a half-hearted excuse.
“You slip with such force, how is my limping beneficial to you?” Lin Murong, clutching his foot, thought Chi Yan did it on purpose.
Chi Yan didn’t answer but gave him a weird look.
The benefits, of course, were many.
But Chi Yan didn’t say it outright, not to save Lin Murong’s face, but because explaining them all would be a waste of time.
