119 It’s True That Rich People Are Generous When They Buy Things

He Xing glanced at Du Yue, turned around, and said to the staff member at the door, “Give me two boxes of chicken feet with pickled pepper, two boxes of iced red tea, two boxes of c.o.ke, two boxes of potato chips, and two boxes of spicy strips.” Even though it was fine for men to eat snacks, Du Yue still felt like laughing when she heard He Xing buying so many snacks in such a serious manner.

A man who could calmly shoot in a forest where wild beasts lurked just wanted to return to his home and eat spicy strips as a snack. The contrast made Du Yue feel that he was a little cute. However, Du Yue was more curious about how many contribution points would be needed for so many items.

Within five minutes of He Xing’s announcement, the door was opened. The staff inside were moving out boxes of the things He Xing wanted. He Xing opened the trunk of the car and asked them to put the things in there. After they were all packed, the staff member who had spoken to He Xing earlier said, “These things come to a total of 2,915 contribution points.”

He Xing swiped his card without even blinking. Du Yue could not help but click her tongue as she watched. Rich people were really different. They were so generous. However, on second thought, she realized that He Xing’s card balance was twice as much as hers, so she did not find it strange anymore.

If she had that many contribution points, she would not hesitate to buy things either. These things sounded like a lot, but when they were placed in the trunk, they did not even take up half the s.p.a.ce. Besides, there were many things here that they probably would not be able to afford to produce in the future. The more people bought them, the lesser stock there would be. It was normal for these things to be sold at a higher price.

After the end of the world in her previous life, Du Yue had never seen any shop that sold these things. It was only because this was the largest base in the country that they could sell these things. Since they had nothing else to do, He Xing drove back to the building they were staying in.

The two of them ran up and down a few times before they managed to move everything upstairs. After the last round, He Xing called out to Du Yue, who was about to go home. “I asked for two of all these things. Half of them are for you.”

Du Yue did not expect He Xing to buy so many things so generously because he was planning to give her half of them.

Looking at the boxes piled on the ground, Du Yue shook her head. “I don’t want them. You can take them back.”

“You can’t refuse! You gave me so many self-heating instant rice and hotpot meals before we left. I can’t take advantage of you. It’s only right for me to give you some food.”

He Xing’s words did make sense, but Du Yue felt that something was amiss. He Xing had even given her a range hood! Besides, they had only been away for a few days. The two of them had not eaten much food. The two of them looked at each other. Neither of them was willing to back down. They were both equally determined.

After a long while, Du Yue could not help but laugh out loud. The way they were acting made them look like two elementary school students fighting. “Okay, okay. I want all of these things, but I’ll leave them in your house for now.”

“Why?”

“Aren’t you learning how to cook? It’s useless to just watch videos. I can teach you. Leave the food at your house. We’ll use it when I teach you how to cook in the future. After you’re done, we can eat together.”

“Good, good! This is a good idea!” He Xing seemed to be in a good mood. He smiled happily. “We’ve been through so much. We don’t have to do it this afternoon. You can go back and rest first. If you’re free tonight, you can come to my house.”

“Sure, I’ll teach you tonight.” The two of them made an agreement. One of them opened the door and went home, while the other opened the gate and went downstairs.

Even after she changed into her pajamas and sat on the carpet, the smile in the corner of Du Yue’s eyes did not fade. The two of them were already in their 20s, but they were still fighting in the corridor over food. It was a little funny. Du Yue had just brought back the potatoes and sweet potatoes she had bought.

After she was done laughing, Du Yue took out the sweet potatoes and potatoes from the bag and began to observe them carefully. These sweet potatoes and potatoes were only the size of a palm, and the color of their skin was lighter than those they had eaten before the apocalypse. Du Yue held one to her nose and sniffed. The smell was also a little lighter than before the apocalypse. She did not know if they would be delicious.

Since she had nothing to do, Du Yue washed one potato and one sweet potato. She roasted them on the stove. After they were cooked, the smell was a little stronger than when they were raw. Du Yue tasted the sweet potato first. The core of the sweet potato was pink and white. After it was roasted, the texture was very gummy, but it was not very sweet.
