Chapter 61 -61: Still Do Less
Carolline had never been here before, so she didn’t know where to go. It was also Bryan Hawkins’ first time here, but his sense of direction had always been good, and besides, there were signs in the supermarket.
The entire supermarket trip consisted mostly of Bryan Hawkins leading Carolline around. The two first went to the Fresh Zone, where they bought some beef, pork, chicken, and duck. Since Bryan Hawkins didn’t know what Carolline could cook, he took a piece of each type of meat to be weighed.
When Carolline saw him buying so much meat, she couldn’t help but be dumbfounded. In the end, she concluded that Bryan was a meat lover, and she would have to make a few meat dishes for him in the future. Then, she began to think of dish combinations for these meats in her mind.
She could make Stir-fried Celery with Minced Beef if the beef was minced, or Braised Beef with Potatoes if the beef was sliced. The chicken leg could be made into a crispy chicken leg, sprinkled with some sesame seeds, and fried or baked – it was her favorite dish.
Carolline became totally immersed in her foodie world. After buying the meat, Bryan Hawkins came back and asked, “Do you want seafood? I think their lobsters and abalones here are quite good.”
“I don’t know how to cook seafood.” Carolline declined directly. She could eat seafood and didn’t mind, but she didn’t know how to cook it, so their family could only eat seafood at restaurants outside.
“Then let’s go eat seafood tomorrow. We’ve bought the meat, so you can decide what vegetables to buy. I don’t know how to choose.” Bryan Hawkins looked at the rows of meat at the bottom of the shopping cart and said to Carolline.
“Then you wait for me for a moment.” Carolline nodded, handed the shopping cart to Bryan Hawkins, and began searching through the vegetable sections. She picked potatoes, mushrooms, and broccoli, followed by two tomatoes, and finally a basket of free-range eggs.
She chose everything according to the recipes of ordinary home-cooked meals. When she returned to Bryan Hawkins, she thought about the exquisite dishes that were comparable to the restaurant’s offerings on the Hawkins Family’s dining table and felt some discomfort.
“Are you done?” Bryan Hawkins didn’t express too much opinion and just casually asked.
“…Or, you can think if you want to eat anything else. How about buying some shrimp? I can cook them in boiling water as well.” Carolline suggested, knowing that shrimp is considered a luxury on ordinary people’s dining tables.
“If you want to eat, go buy it.” Bryan Hawkins didn’t have many opinions, as he knew that those who don’t take action to do things should talk less.

Of course, Carolline went to the Aquatic Product Zone and bought about a pound of shrimp. Only then did the two head back.
However, the direction Bryan Hawkins went was not towards the checkout but the Side Dish Zone. Carolline swallowed unconsciously when she saw the dazzling array of snacks. She was a complete foodie and had loved snacks since childhood. She couldn’t control her hand every time she went to the supermarket and spent nearly a hundred yuan each time.
“You, you… Do you want to eat snacks?” Carolline did not think men would like these things, just like her father who never touched snacks, even when her mother brought back a large bag of them from the supermarket.
“Pick some you like to eat.” Bryan Hawkins said, pushing the cart forward. His only responsibility was to push the cart, and he let Carolline pick. At first, Carolline was quite embarrassed, but Bryan Hawkins didn’t force her, “Let’s walk around once more, and if you still don’t want to get anything, don’t blame me for not giving you the chance.”
“Uh.” Carolline was a little stunned, but during the second round, she was more generous. She thought to herself that after all, she was going to cook dinner, and Bryan Hawkins was doing this to repay her, perhaps.
After thinking about this, Carolline quickly picked snacks. She threw one or two items into the shopping cart every two steps. By the end of this round, the shopping cart was full to the brim, with items nearly overflowing.
Only then did Carolline realize that maybe she had picked too much, which was not very polite.
“Or, let’s return some items. There are really too many, and we can’t finish them all.” Carolline felt somewhat embarrassed.
“No need, let’s go buy some fruits, and then we can go back.” Bryan Hawkins turned around and headed to the fruit section.
Bryan Hawkins picked expensive imported fruits. His ruthless attitude made Carolline sigh with admiration. With her current salary of just over three thousand but less than four thousand yuan, she would never dare to throw imported fruits worth tens or over a hundred yuan a pound into the shopping cart without even blinking.
When they checked out, Carolline was shocked again. Every time she went shopping, she never spent more than two hundred yuan. But they bought so many things this time, and the cost easily exceeded one thousand yuan. Bryan Hawkins pulled out his card, swiped it, signed his name, picked up two big bags and left.
Carolline quickly followed, trying to help Bryan Hawkins carry one of the bags, but he wouldn’t let her. “Women should do less laborious work,” he said.
At that time, Carolline only felt that Bryan Hawkins was quite chauvinistic. The modern housewife, she thought, would not only be able to carry these two bags but even carry two bags of rice up five floors without difficulty.
At that time, Carolline could not imagine that the meaning of that statement was too suggestive, and Bryan Hawkins really enjoyed repeating it in her ear.
By the time they left the supermarket, it was already dark outside. This trip had taken nearly two hours, and they hadn’t even had a proper tour, but they had still spent so long.
When they returned to Bluen Lake Wonderland, it was already 6:30 pm. If they were at the Hawkins Family, it would have been dinner time already. Carolline could only try to move faster later.
“Carolline, I’ll leave the cooking to you since the servants are not around. I’ll go upstairs to take a shower first.” Bryan Hawkins said so.
“Okay, you go ahead.” Carolline nodded, and Bryan Hawkins helped her carry all the items to the kitchen and put them away before going back to the bedroom to take a shower.
Carolline washed her hands and began preparing dinner.
