Love Variety Show (10)
The interaction between Xi Jiu and Ruan Qi was so sweet that everyone was screaming, and even the cameraman who was filming them couldn't help but smile.
Soon, everyone finished shopping.
The guests pushed their own shopping carts to the checkout counter and began to calculate the prices.
"Hello, the total is sixty-one dollars." The cashier said in English.
Shi Sugemei breathed a sigh of relief.
"Not bad, there's still over thirty left." Ge Mei said, and then he took a bottle of beer from the shelf next to the counter. "Let's settle this one too."
Seeing this, Shi Su hurried to stop her: "No need to buy wine, I don't want to drink today."
"This beer is not expensive, it's on sale, four dollars a bottle." Ge Mei pushed his hand away and handed the beer to the cashier. "You've been tired all day, drink some wine to relieve your fatigue."
Shi Su usually likes to drink a little wine. Ge Mei knows his hobby and insisted on adding beer to the shopping cart.
Ruan Qi, who was standing behind, blinked when he saw this and shifted his gaze to the red wine area not far away.
"Baby, I don't like drinking." Xi Jiu saw what she was thinking and immediately extinguished her idea.
Ruan Qi said "Oh" and looked away regretfully.
Since Jiang Chunian's death, the psychological barriers that had tormented her for years gradually disappeared. As a result, her mental state recovered and she no longer lost control of her emotions after drinking a little.
Ruan Qi wasn't a big drinker. But that's just how people are: the more they can't touch something, the more they want to. She'd been afraid to drink for most of her life, and now that her mental state was finally back to normal, Ruan Qi had a secret desire to try every kind of alcohol.
Drinking is harmful to the body, so the Ruan family and Xi Jiu naturally wouldn't let her try this.
Ruan Qi had been obedient and hadn't drunk secretly. Until now, when she saw Ge Mei buying wine for Shi Su, the little thoughts hidden in her heart began to stir again.
However, as soon as the idea came to mind, it was ruthlessly cut off by Xi Jiu.
Ruan Qi could only sigh with regret, thinking that his family education was too strict.
Shi Sugemei in front finished paying the bill, and next came Silin Jibeibei.
The young man had a big appetite and bought a lot of things. After the bill was settled, the two of them spent a total of 83 yuan.
"Not bad, not bad. I still have seventeen dollars left. That should be enough for breakfast tomorrow."
After Ji Beibei and Si Lin finished, it was Jiang Hengda and Lan Lan's turn.
Unlike the first two groups of guests who were shopping in a life-like atmosphere, Jiang Hengda and Lan Lan only had three items in their shopping cart:
Two cocktails, two steaks, and a pack of cigarettes.
Everyone was stunned when they saw these things.
"Sister Lanlan, is this all you're buying?" the outspoken Ji Beibei asked in confusion.
Lan Lan's expression was a little awkward, and she forced a smile and said, "Hengda is a heavy smoker and a heavy drinker."
You don’t have to spend all the hundred dollars on cigarettes and alcohol!
That cocktail costs more than ten dollars a bottle. Wouldn’t it be more cost-effective to change it to beer at four dollars a bottle?
Ji Beibei wanted to say something more, but Si Lin quickly pulled her back.
"Stop looking around and help me pack my things."
Si Lin stuffed the shopping bag into Ji Beibei's arms, and Ji Beibei had to look away.
After some settlement, Jiang Hengda and Lan Lan's final expenses were 96 yuan.
When the cashier said the amount, everyone was shocked.
This group bought the least but spent the most money.
Is Jiang Hengda really here for a romantic comedy vacation? He doesn't know how to plan his life at all.
After all, it was the couple's own business, so no one could say too much. After Jiang Hengda and Lan Lan paid the bill, it was Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu's turn.
Compared with the other three groups of guests, Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu filled up a whole shopping cart with things they bought.
Xi Jiu placed the items one by one on the cashier counter, and the other people stared at him with their eyes wide open.
"Oh my god, there's also ice cream and cupcakes?"
"Wow! I even bought some prawns!"
"There are even potato chips! Is this how rich people live?!"
Following Xi Jiu's actions, everyone's eyes turned green with envy.
The cashier scanned all the items and said, "Hello, the total is two hundred and fifty-nine yuan."
All the guests took a breath.
"A wealthy family!"
"Rich people are really different from us. They actually spent over two hundred dollars on something!"
"Wow, I want to eat some cake too."
Everyone was envious. But it was just envy, not jealousy. This was Xi Jiu's winnings, and he and Ruan Qi were free to buy whatever they wanted.
Only Jiang Hengda looked at the pile of food with a unhappy expression.
But considering Xi Jiu and Ruan Qi's background, he didn't dare to say anything. He just snorted coldly and left the supermarket first.
——
After shopping, it's time for everyone to go home.
According to the original plan, Shi Su hailed a taxi and put all the things he bought into the trunk.
"Four girls, get in the car. Don't worry about it when you get back. We'll cook together when we get back."
As Shi Su was speaking, Xi Jiu had already opened the car door for Ruan Qi.
"Baby, if you're hungry, have a snack first. Don't worry about the meal, just wait for me at home."
Ruan Qi got into the car and nodded obediently: "Okay. I'll wait for you to come back."
The taxi door closed and the car drove away quickly.
Ruan Qi withdrew her gaze from Xi Jiu, turned around, and saw Ji Beibei sitting in the passenger seat looking at her with a smile.
"Teacher Xiaoqi and Master Xi have such a good relationship. They were only apart for half an hour, but they were already so reluctant to part."
Ruan Qi blushed, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up: "Because Jiujiu is so good, I can't bear to leave him."
Ji Beibei and Ge Mei immediately started to make noises.
Maybe because Jiang Hengda was not there, Lan Lan became much more lively and started laughing.
Even though Ruan Qi was a big-hearted person, she couldn't stand the three people teasing her like this. She quickly changed the subject and asked, "What dishes did you prepare?"
"Old Shi and I don't eat much, so we prepared a stir-fried pork and two vegetarian dishes. Where's Beibei?"
Ji Beibei: "One boiled pork slices, one twice-cooked pork, stir-fried choy sum and a salad."
When Ruan Qi heard this, she couldn't help but exclaim "Wow".
"You also know how to make boiled pork slices?"
"That's definitely not going to happen." Ji Beibei chuckled and mysteriously took out a bag from her arms, "But I just found a treasure in the supermarket——"
She passed the bag to Ruan Qi, "Dang, dang, dang! The seasoning packet for boiled pork slices!"
Ruan Qi and the other two opened their eyes wide in surprise.
"Isn't this overseas? Why are there seasoning packets for boiled pork slices?"
"Maybe it's because there are so many Chinese tourists here." Ji Beibei held the seasoning packet like a treasure. "The supermarket also sells stewed meat seasoning and boiled fish seasoning, but they are too expensive, so I can't bear to buy them. But this packet is enough. Let's make more boiled pork slices and share them with everyone!"
Ge Mei smiled and nodded, then asked Ruan Qi, "Where's Xiao Qi? What are you planning to cook for dinner?"
Ruan Qi scratched his head, feeling a little ashamed: "I can't cook. Jiujiu bought the vegetables and meat. I don't know what he is going to cook."
Xi Jiu started shopping as soon as he entered the supermarket. Ruan Qi was busy persuading him to buy less and didn't ask Xi Jiu what he was going to do in the evening.
When Ge Meiji Beibei heard this, she couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
"Is Master Xi cooking tonight? He actually knows how to cook?"
In today's society, most young people are busy with work and few can cook, not to mention that Xi Jiu is in a high position and has a lot of nannies and chefs at home.
"Yes." Ruan Qi nodded with a smile, "Jiujiu cooks delicious food. You can try his cooking tonight."
…
Because the sea view villa where Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu live is the most luxurious and has the most complete facilities, the dinner place tonight will be set here.
The taxi arrived at the villa quickly.
Ruan Qi paid the taxi fare, and then she and Ji Beibei moved all the ingredients they had bought into the kitchen.
There were so many things in the shopping bags that Ruan Qi and the others spent almost twenty minutes just sorting them. By the time they had finished sorting and put them in the refrigerator, Xi Jiu and the other three had returned.
"You came back pretty quickly. Are you tired from walking?" Ge Mei took Shi Su's coat and asked with a smile.
Shi Su: "Not bad. I walk for a while and rest for a while. I don't feel tired."
In reality, they could have returned earlier. But halfway through their walk, Jiang Hengda started complaining he couldn't walk any further. Xi Jiu and the other two delayed their journey for five minutes to accommodate him.
"We've gathered all the ingredients. What should we do next? Shall we go to the kitchen and cook together?"
Ji Beibei doesn't know how to cook, so she humbly seeks advice from Xi Jiu and others.
Xi Jiu didn't say anything. After changing into slippers, he went straight to Ruan Qi.
Ruan Qi handed him the cup of warm water: "Jiujiu, drink some water."
Xi Jiu took the cup and took a few sips, then looked at her face and asked, "Are you feeling unwell? Are you tired from carrying so many things back?"
"How can I be that weak?" Ruan Qi said with amusement, "It's just a small thing. I can lift it with one finger. Jiujiu, don't always treat me like a porcelain doll."
Xi Jiu knew that Ruan Qi was powerful, but no matter how powerful she was, she was still a treasure in his heart.
Seeing that Ruan Qi was not feeling unwell, he felt relieved and raised his hand to touch her head: "You go and rest for a while, I'll go to the kitchen to cook."
"I'll go too." Shi Su rolled up his sleeves and walked over. "I can cook too."
Seeing this, Si Lin quickly said, "Although I can't cook, my knife skills are okay. I can help cut the vegetables."
"Then I'll wash the vegetables." Ji Beibei scratched her head embarrassedly, "I can't cook and I don't have knife skills, so I can only help out."
Ge Mei: "I can cook too, why don't we..."
Before he could finish his words, Shi Su waved his hand and said, "Two chefs are enough. Too many people will only make things messy. Xiaomei, just help wash the dishes."
"That's fine, I'll do the washing of the dishes." Ge Mei said, looking at the others.
Ruan Qi's eyes lit up and she said happily, "I think I can wash dishes too..."
"No, you can't." Xi Jiu refused decisively.
Ruan Qi: "I'm a doctor, and I'm pretty good with a knife..."
"Baby, there's a difference between a kitchen knife and a scalpel."
Ruan Qi: "Then can I learn to cook?"
"It's enough for one person in the family to cook." Xi Jiu ruthlessly extinguished her expectations. "Baby, for the sake of everyone's safety, just sit outside and help pick some vegetables."
See you tomorrow~
