Chapter 10

Although the state-run restaurant didn't have many dishes, the chef really had a unique skill; even small green vegetables could be made to the standard of a state banquet.

Shen Man ate very elegantly, but the food on the plate was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The people who were originally staring at her face gradually withdrew their gazes.

It wasn't that the little girl wasn't pretty, but she was too expensive to raise!

The Quanjude roast duck couldn't be bought without coupons, and the state-run restaurant's food was delicious, of course, but the price wasn't cheap!

A little girl could eat twenty yuan for a lunch, which was more than half a month's salary for an ordinary person!

Li Mingguang wasn't very surprised, nor did he feel the pinch.

Except for the roast duck he treated Miss Manman to, the old commander would reimburse the rest of the meal.

Miss Manman must have suffered a lot over the years, so she was so thin and should eat more good things to nourish her body!

In fact, Shen Man wasn't that hungry; it was just that Tangyuan, who was waiting to be fed in the space, was greedy.

She could only take advantage of the angle to secretly feed Tangyuan...

After eating and drinking her fill, it was basically a "clean plate" action.

Shen Man glanced at the time; it was still early, so she would stroll around and go to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

She wouldn't take the car; it was only one kilometer away.

Suddenly, when passing a tree, a weak meowing sound came from the roots.

Then a tabby kitten cub rolled out, rolling right to Shen Man's feet.

"Wow, what a cute little kitten."

To do the whole act, Shen Man bent down, squatted, and picked up Tangyuan.

Li Mingguang saw this, glanced around, and reminded:

"Miss Manman, a kitten cub found in the wild might mean the mother cat hasn't gone far."

"Then let's wait a while. If no mother cat comes back to find this cub, maybe it was abandoned."

Shen Man nodded, agreeing with this suggestion.

Then she rubbed Tangyuan's head and said deliberately:

"If you bumped into my foot, you're my cat. If you're willing to go with me, meow three times."

Li Mingguang laughed when he heard this; Miss Manman was kind-hearted, but where would a kitten cub understand human language?

The next second—

"Meow, meow, meow."

"Meow, meow, meow."

"Meow, meow, meow."

Hell, he heard three cat meows!

He even saw a trace of pride in the cub's eyes; he must have seen it wrong!

"So good. I'll give you a name, Tangyuan. If you like this name, meow once."

"Meow."

Tangyuan naturally listened to its master, interacting with her obediently, leaving Li Mingguang stunned.

Good heavens, the kitten had become a demon!

Li Mingguang felt his whole body go numb.

Under Shen Man's insistence, Tangyuan was tucked into her fluffy wool bag.

"Master, it's so cold outside."

"Don't worry, we won't be staying for many days. We'll go to the Sea Island soon. The temperature on the Sea Island is much higher than in the Capital; it's summer and autumn all year round, not as cold as the Capital."

"Wherever Master goes, I go."

"Mm, let's stroll around some more. If you see anything you want to eat or want, just say so. I have plenty of money now."

"Okay."

Tangyuan was moved. It could only identify the energy in human bodies now and couldn't help its master find treasures yet.

Its master was so good to it, it had nothing to repay her with, so it could only speed up its cultivation and strive to recover its vitality, grow up a bit, and recover its abilities.

Shen Man didn't forget about the fish fry, but in the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, let alone fish fry, she didn't even see a trace of pork.

In this era, materials were still too scarce.

She thought this, but her footsteps didn't stop.

After entering the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, the shelves were lined with Wanzihong moisturizing cream, Yashuang, Snake Bed Fruit frostbite cream, Friendship snow cream, Kongfengchun rouge...

She bought skincare products and lipstick in one breath, buy, buy, buy.

A woman should treat herself well; first herself, then other identities.

There were no ugly women, only lazy women.

Even if one was naturally beautiful, one had to do skincare, maintenance, and be exquisite down to every hair.

In this era where one bar of soap washed the whole body and foreign capital hadn't intervened in the local personal care market, she was already exquisite down to every hair in the eyes of others.

Li Mingguang looked straight ahead, his upright standing posture making it easy to guess his profession.

Therefore, the staff at the counter cooperated very well with whatever Shen Man wanted, not afraid at all that Shen Man would default on the bill.

Besides these things girls liked, Shen Man also bought a lot of candy, including fruit hard candy, rabbit milk candy, and malt candy.

No way, her body had some hypoglycemia, so she had to carry candy with her, otherwise, if she had an attack, she would lose consciousness and faint.

She didn't know how big the Supply and Marketing Cooperative on the Sea Island was or if the things were complete, so she would buy and hoard all the daily necessities she could think of before going over.

Tangyuan smelled a sweet, greasy scent and wanted it.

As the master, Shen Man could actually feel the feelings of the spirit.

Following Tangyuan's gaze, it turned out to be malted milk.

Bought it, two cans. The price was quite expensive, but for her, it was a drop in the bucket.

The shopping ended, and Shen Man paid. A thick stack of money and various coupons made others' eyes go straight when they saw it!

Under Li Mingguang's gaze, the eyes of the people around them withdrew, not daring to look more.

After the two left, the salesperson happily counted the coupons; today's turnover was the highest in the month!

Especially the skincare products opened on the shelves; she got a one-mao commission for every box sold!

Woohoo, if only there were such generous customers every day.
