Chapter 235 Hot Pot Worth 50
Chapter 235 Hot Pot Worth 50
Du Qiangwei was dismissive of the barbecue stall owner's words.
Are high prices only temporary?
Don't be ridiculous, how could Ye Cang notice such a small thing? He is probably thinking about how to start a bigger war and how to build more weapons.
Morgana, who was standing by, could tell at a glance that Du Qiangwei strongly disagreed with what the barbecue stall owner said, and she was sure to refute him again.
If she continued to refute this, she might not be able to eat the barbecue.
So, Morgana hurriedly said: "Boss, I think what you said makes sense."
After saying that, she returned to Du Qiangwei's side and whispered in her ear: "Qiangwei, my money didn't come from the wind."
"Please stop talking and let me eat some barbecue. I'm starving."
Because the two were too close, the hot air Morgana exhaled when she spoke hit Du Qiangwei's ears.
This was the first time she had such close contact since she was a child.
Morgana's few words made Du Qiangwei's face turn red.
"Stay...stay away from me..." Du Qiangwei said in a voice almost as soft as a mosquito, trying to push Morgana away.
But I don’t know if it’s because Morgana is sticking too close to me or if I just have no strength left.
It took several attempts before he finally pushed Morgana away.
Morgana, who was pushed away, immediately noticed something was wrong with Du Qiangwei, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she gave a wicked smile.
Countless bold ideas emerged in Morgana's mind.
Time flies, and half a month has passed in a flash.
During the past half month, Morgana has been with Du Qiangwei.
Whether it was eating or sleeping, they were never apart.
At first, Du Qiangwei tried to keep Morgana away from her, but as time went on, she quickly gave up the idea.
To this day, the two are inseparable.
As for the relationship...well...it's hard to say...ah!
On Ye Cang's side...
During this half month, everything was calm and nothing happened. Everything was the same as before the Taotie invasion.
During this period, the old man has been preparing for the ancestor worship and has been extremely busy.
If Ye Cang hadn't given him the special protein, his body might not have been able to bear it halfway through the preparation.
Ye Cang has been at the star-class battleship construction base, solving problems big and small.
So far, the general framework of the star-class battleship has been completed, and most of the energy system has also been built.
I believe that in some time, the first star-class battleship belonging to mankind will be completed, and that will be the end of the Taotie.
That afternoon, Ye Cang walked out of the star-class battleship construction base.
After coming out, he headed straight for the city of North Star.
Because tonight the Star-class battleship completed a phase of construction.
All researchers voted unanimously to have hotpot together in the evening to celebrate.
Originally, Ye Cang wanted to call someone to send it over, but the researchers suggested that Ye Cang buy it instead.
The reason is simple: the food bought by the chief engineer tastes better.
Ye Cang naturally understood that this was just a joke, so he didn't want to spoil the fun and agreed without hesitation.
So we headed to the city to buy food.
Although the distance from the base to the city is a bit far, it is not a problem for Ye Cang.
Soon, he arrived in the city.
After finding another supermarket, Ye Cang started shopping for today.
There are about a hundred scientific researchers building the base, so a lot of food ingredients need to be purchased.
After Ye Cang was busy for a while, he found that he was too busy to handle it, so he asked Qinglong to bring Liu Chuang and drive a truck to help.
When they finished shopping and it was time to pay the bill, Ye Cang was stunned.
"Um, I don't think I heard clearly how much you said these things cost. Can you say it again?" Ye Cang looked at the supermarket manager in front of him and said expressionlessly.
The supermarket manager immediately repeated, "Mr. Ye, after the 8% discount, the total cost of these foods is 50 yuan."
50w? !
For Ye Cang, money has long ceased to be a problem, but!
50 yuan for a hot pot meal...isn't that a bit excessive? And I didn't buy anything outrageously expensive.
These are the most common hotpot dishes, although they are for a hundred people.
Ye Cang was not the only one surprised by the price. Qinglong and Liu Chuang were also surprised.
"No, it's all this and that!" Liu Chuang said, "What hot pot? Is this hot pot made of gold?"
"50 for a meal? Why don't you charge 50 for a loaf of bread? You're asking for an exorbitant price! Do you believe I'll report you when the time comes?"
The supermarket manager felt very aggrieved after hearing this.
"Sir, you are being too unfair! How dare we ask for such an exorbitant price?"
"The only thing to blame is the rapid price increases."
The supermarket manager picked up a 500-gram box of tripe and said, "Originally this box was only 50 yuan, but now it has increased five or six times."
"Also, the same thing happens with beef and mutton."
"If you really don't believe me, I'll tell you our purchase price."
Liu Chuang did not accept the supermarket manager's explanation. When he was about to say something else, he was stopped by Qinglong.
Qinglong picked up a box of beef, turned around and said to Ye Cang: "Chief Engineer, if you calculate it this way."
"A typical hot pot meal for one person costs nearly 1000 yuan?"
"These prices are really too exaggerated!"
Ye Cang didn't say anything, but silently took out his bank card to pay the bill.
Then they loaded the food into the truck and headed straight to the construction base.
On the way back, Ye Cang sat in the passenger seat without saying a word, which made the atmosphere in the car very depressing.
Liu Chuang, who was driving, didn't dare to breathe.
He was afraid that Ye Cang would hear his breathing and give him a blow.
Of course, this was just Liu Chuang's overthinking.
Ye Cang didn't have the habit of taking his anger out on others.
As for why he didn't say a word, it was because he was checking with Tomoko when prices became so expensive.
After checking, Ye Cang found out.
Prices will start to rise slowly after we defeat other countries.
Until all countries surrender and China achieves unification, prices will rise the fastest!
It is no exaggeration to say that it changes almost every hour.
Even a fool can see that someone is maliciously raising prices.
Just as Ye Cang was thinking, Liu Chuang's cautious voice sounded.
"Chief Engineer, we've arrived at the base."
"Yes." Ye Cang agreed and said, "Liu Chuang, thank you and Qinglong for your hard work tonight."
"You two stay for dinner."
