Chapter 838 Shopping Cart Full
After hearing Jiang Mubai's instructions, the butler took out his cell phone and immediately made a call. After a while, he helped Jiang Mubai to settle the matter.
"Thank you, Uncle Chen. We still have some time. I'll go upstairs and see if Xiangxiang is awake."
"You're welcome. It's still early and you've been playing games with Manman and Wu You for a long time. Mubai, you should go upstairs and have a rest for a while."
"Okay, I'll see if I'm sleepy then."
As Jiang Mubai spoke, he went upstairs to his room under the watchful eyes of the housekeeper. After they all left, the housekeeper remembered that the room where Cheng Yunchuan and others lived needed to be cleaned. He was embarrassed to ask anyone to clean it as Manman and Wu You were still there. Now that the guests had left, the housekeeper immediately arranged for the person in charge of this area in the villa to do the work.
Cheng Xiangdi was driving the car with Manman and Wu You towards the Cheng family villa. Cheng Xiangdi did not forget what Wu You told him, so he stopped at a large supermarket near the villa.
"Uncle Cheng, come with us to the supermarket? It will be boring if you sit in the car and wait alone, and we can't buy things that fast."
Cheng Xiangdi thought that Manman and Wu You would buy too many things and it would be inconvenient to carry them, so it would be better if he could go with them.
"Okay, then I'll go to the supermarket with you guys."
There are not many people coming to the supermarket at this time in the afternoon on weekdays. Although it is already afternoon, the ingredients in the supermarket are very fresh.
Manman pushed a cart. Wu You saw it and felt it was not enough: "One cart is too small. We must push two carts to fit all the things we bought!"
"Do I need to buy so many things? If you buy ingredients and leave them unused, they will no longer be fresh, and it will be bad to waste them."
"Don't worry if it's all used up. I always take two carts. I make a lot of different things and require a lot of ingredients, but the quantity is not large, so don't worry. Besides, didn't I promise Sister Mu Bai that I would make desserts for Xiang Xiang's Hundred Days Banquet? I have to buy more flour and other things and try to make it when I get back."
"Making desserts requires a lot of ingredients. If you buy more, you don't have to go out to buy from time to time. Besides, those things take up a lot of space. If you put a few bags of flour in a cart, there will be no space for other things."
"No wonder you asked me to get off the bus and go shopping together. It turns out that you wanted to buy too many things and you two couldn't carry them all, so you schemed against me, right?"
"How could that be? Uncle Cheng, please don't think of me like that. At first, I was really worried that you would be bored in the car alone, so I wanted to ask you to get out and walk together. When we got to the supermarket, I thought we were going to buy things anyway, so we might as well buy them together. This way, I don't have to make a special trip next time."
"It just so happens that there is nothing to do at home tomorrow. If I go shopping today, I can spend the whole day in the kitchen. If I can settle this matter sooner, I will feel more at ease."
"Okay, since you're thinking about the Hundred Days Banquet, I won't bother with you about these things. Anyway, my advantage of working out is that I have enough strength and I'm not afraid of your bags of flour."
"I know Uncle Cheng is the best. To save time, you and Manman can go shopping. Just put whatever dishes you want into the shopping cart. I'll go over there and buy the things needed to make desserts."
"Okay, but take it easy. There are three of us and we have six hands in total. Don't take too much. It will be troublesome if you can't hold it."
"I know what's going on, so don't worry."
After Wu You and Manman made no promises, they pushed the shopping cart away. Manman took Cheng Xiangdi to stroll around the food area.
Neither of them knew what ingredients were needed to cook, so as they walked along, they would just take whatever ingredients looked fresh. After a trip, their shopping cart was already full of things.
"I think it's about right, what do you think, Uncle Cheng?"
"I also think that we've bought enough things. Where is Wu You now? Should I call her and ask how she's doing?"
"Okay."
Manman took out her cell phone and called Wu You. After two rings, the other party hung up.
"She hung up the phone. She should be well soon. We just need to wait for her here. Maybe Wu You is on her way to find us now."
Cheng Xiangdi nodded without saying anything else. Instead, he and Manman stood in the food area waiting for Wu You to arrive.
Two minutes later they saw Wu You coming back with a full shopping cart, the cart was so full that it was overflowing with Wu You's things.
"Didn't you say you knew the answer? Is this what you mean by knowing the answer? If I push your shopping cart any faster, everything in it will fall out."
"Oh, even though the shopping cart is full, the stuff is not heavy. It just takes up space. Look at the bottom layer, there are only flour and other raw materials for making cakes. I took four bags of these, so it might be a bit heavy, but the biscuits and raisins on top are not heavy. These are also the things I need to add to the desserts."
"Let me show you how to calculate. The flour is enough for one person, and these light items plus the cooking ingredients you bought are completely enough for two people. The things you bought only take up two large bags at most. I have about the same amount, but it's really light. You'll see when we pack them later."
The things had already been taken and placed in the car, and Manman couldn't possibly ask Wu You to put the things back to their original places. After seeing Wu You doing this, she just let him do what he wanted.
You don't have to spend money to do anything with Cheng Xiangdi, even if Wu You buys something for you. Cheng Xiangdi's principle is that he will not let girls pay when they are with him.
Wu You even argued with Cheng Xiangdi about this matter: "Uncle Cheng, let's do it ourselves. We asked you to get off the car and go shopping with us. Manman and I didn't come here just to ask you to pay."
"Uncle knows, but uncle has his own principles. You two should stop making things difficult for me."
"That won't work. Uncle has given us such expensive gifts. How can the two of us have the nerve to let you spend money to buy these things for us? So it's better for the two of us to do it."
"Ever since I gave you the gift, you two have been taking extra care of me. It seems like this gift was really well worth it, right?"
"Uncle Cheng should have taken care of you even if he didn't give me and Manman a gift. He should take care of you even more after you gave him a gift."
Seeing that Cheng Xiangdi and Wu You were in a stalemate, Manman couldn't help but persuade them: "Yes, there are three of us here now. Wu You and I insist on paying for it ourselves, and Uncle Cheng, you are the only one, so let's just obey the majority."
"That's right. If we continue to be in a stalemate like this, nothing will change. Manman and I won't let go. If we delay any further, the supermarket will be crowded and it will affect everyone's checkout. Besides, Brother Chuan and Brother Qi will be back from get off work soon, so we have to hurry back to prepare dinner."
Cheng Xiangdi also knew that continuing to stalemate with Manman and Wu You was not a good way to solve the problem, so after hearing what Wu You said, he could only agree.
