Chapter 1190: I will go to war with you if you resist
Earlier Qin Lu had brought some potatoes along with a catty of pork belly thinking that it was enough for his father and him. Who would have thought that the second his father cooked the pork belly and made some mashed potatoes, the entire house would be filled with nothing but the tempting scent of pork belly and potatoes?
Not only did his mother come rushing to the dining room even the children of his mother’s concubine came rushing asking for a share. One catty of pork belly and potatoes was nowhere enough for him and his father to eat which was why he came back hoping that he would be able to buy some pork belly for himself and his father as they did not get enough to eat.
” Brother Lu, is this the place from where you purchased the magical pork belly?” A young mer who was following after him questioned Qin Lu who sighed and nodded.
Qin Lu lightly ordered, ” Yup, when I came here in the morning I brought the meat and vegetables from here. Of course, the mall is now empty but in the morning it was impossible for us to even get enough space to move.”
Qin Wen looked around and then said, ” I guess we are late. There is nothing left, look the meat section is empty and the potatoes are also sold. Brother Lu why did you not tell us that this place was so famous.”
” I did tell you all but no one believed me. You were the one who said that we can purchase anything that we want,” Qin Lu did tell his brother and sister that they needed to hurry if they wanted to purchase something from the mall but they did not believe him.
They even thought that he was only trying to act hard to please as he did not want to share his secret with them, now it was good there was nothing left in the mall.
Qin Jie looked around the shelves and sighed. If she knew that her brother was telling the truth she would have come earlier. She stared at the empty shelves and then remarked unhappily, “It’s already so late. There isn’t anything left, are we going back empty-handed?”
Chen Mi who heard their discussions walked towards the three siblings and asked politely, ” Excuse me? May, I ask what are you looking for?”
When the Qiu siblings saw that there was someone from the staff of the mall asking them about their queries, they heaved a sigh of relief as Qiu Lu asked, ” Is there an extra stock of pork belly left? We are willing to buy it if there is any left.”
” I am sorry but all the extra and current stock has been sold out,” when Chen Mi heard that they were here to buy pork belly he was quite surprised and pleased. Looks like their mall’s pork belly was indeed a hit. He smiled politely at the little kids and said, ” But we do have some pork hock left, do you want to buy that?”
Though he said that it was left behind, the truth was that Chen Mi kept it for their family as Yu Mai wanted to eat it but now that it could be sold for money, he decided to ask his sister to butcher a pig for Yu Mai and eat the freshly cut pork hock instead of the one that was left on the shelf for an entire day.
Of course, he was not worried about the pork going bad as Yu Dong had space that could keep everything fresh no matter how many hours passed.
Though the Qiu siblings were quite upset when they heard that there was no pork belly, they decided that something was better than nothing. While they took a look at the pork hock that was still on the shelf the three siblings were indeed satisfied when they saw that the pork hock did not have any dried-up blood and looked fresh and juicy.
After they picked up the pork hock they turned to look at Chen Mi before Qiu Wen asked, ” Brother, are there potatoes left?”
Chen Mi shook his head after hearing the question of Qiu Wen and then replied, ” There are no potatoes left. But we do have some vegetables like radishes and cucumbers. But we only have a few of them left, do you want to buy them? We are close to closing soon.”
The Qiu siblings looked at one another just as they were hesitating, someone came rushing and picked up the remaining radishes and cucumbers from the shelves before putting them in their basket.
When Qiu Lu saw who it was his eyes widened as he looked at Nan Yan.
” Nan Yan! What are you doing?” He did not think that his good brother would try to double-cross him like this. He only relaxed his guard a little and the vegetables were kidnapped? Or should he say veg-napped?
Nan Yan who had picked up the vegetables in a hurry had an awkward expression on his face as he said quietly, ” Lu Lu, I know this might sound crazy to you…but if I do not bring these vegetables back then I might have to spend the night at your home.”
As he spoke Nan Yan even trembled with fright as he was not lying. His grandmother had lost most of her appetite because of her old age, thus when he brought back the potatoes and cooked them, it shocked Nan Yan to see his grandmother sitting on the dining table.
It would not be wrong to say that his grandmother was the one who ate all the cooked potatoes and he only got a small piece of those cooked potatoes. If that was all, he wouldn’t have come rushing to buy these vegetables at such an hour but his grandmother told him stubbornly that if she did not get the same quality of vegetables then she would not eat dinner.
How could that be allowed?
His mother immediately sent him and his sister to buy the same quality vegetables but with such popular stock, was it even possible for Nan Yan to buy catties of these vegetables thus he was willing to protect these radishes and cucumbers with his life!
If he did not bring these back then he could forget about going back home!
