Chapter 103 - Processing and Evaluating Green Tea (2)

Lu Xingchi nonchalantly responded, "Let's go to a hardware store next to see if there's any portable generators."

"So we're going to have electricity?" Bei Nuan cheered and selected the hair straightener and electric toothbrush that had caught her eye earlier. Then, she went to a nearby aisle to look for a rice cooker.

Du Ruo saw her lining up the rice cookers to compare. Puzzled, he asked, "Isn't it just a rice cooker? Is there any difference between them?"

Bei Nuan looked at him in disdain. "Of course. If you don't believe me, ask Jiang Fei when we go back. The taste of cooked rice can vary greatly based on which rice cooker is used."

After Bei Nuan picked out her favorite rice cooker, she put away various strange electrical appliances. Du Ruo had no idea what they were.

Du Ruo picked up a flat appliance. "What's this?"

"An electric griddle."

"What's this? Electric kettle? Du Ruo picked up another item.

"A cooking blender."

Bei Nuan took the item back from him. "Don't worry about it. Jiang Fei will know what these things are. He'll be responsible for using these items, and you just need to eat his cooking."

Du Ruo absolutely approved of her statement. He dropped the electric griddle and went off to seek other amusements.

Lu Xingchi picked up the electric griddle and looked at it. He suddenly said, "I'm a pretty good cook too."

Bei Nuan raised her eyebrows. She didn't believe him at all. Lu Xingchi lived like a prince. He probably never even fried an egg before. A good cook? No way.

There was a large appliance store right next door. Bei Nuan touched a portable washer, wanting to take it with her.

"Just take it if you want it," Lu Xingchi said.

Since he said it was okay, Bei Nuan wasn't polite. She put everything she wanted into her pocket space.

As she did this, she said, "Jiang Fei mentioned it before. If we can get electricity, we can use a washer. Anyways, we have water."

Lu Xingchi didn't say anything for a long time.

Finally, he faintly said, "Jiang Fei, Jiang Fei. If he sneezes every time you say his name, he would think he has a cold by now."

Lu Xingchi went downstairs to the men's clothing section and found a pile of clothing for himself. After he was done, he directed Du Ru, "Get some clothes for Jiang Fei too."

Bei Nuan caught him. "See, you say Jiang Fei's name too."

She wanted to laugh. He was probably being so active in getting Jiang Fei clothing because he was sick of Jiang Fei borrowing his clothes. Jiang Fei seemed very comfortable wearing Lu Xingchi's clothing these past few days.

Bei Nuan gathered a large pile of shirts in various colors and studied them.

"I wonder what color Jiang Fei likes to wear."

Du Ruo smoothly answered, "He said he likes white clothing."

Lu Xingchi: "..."

Lu Xingchi took a step forward, chose a light green shirt from the big pile of clothing, and handed the shirt to Bei Nuan.

Bei Nuan thought the color looked quite refreshing. "Hmm, will he like this color?"

"Trust me," Lu Xingchi calmly said, "This color definitely suits him."

He didn't forget to make another stab at Jiang Fei. "His shirt size should be two sizes smaller than mine, right?"

Lu Xingchi patiently waited for Bei Nuan to choose her clothing and cosmetics before saying, "I want to check out the basement level."

They headed to the basement level of the mall, which had a large section for bookstores.

After the development of the Internet, the sales of books gradually declined. Now that the Internet was down, books regained the appeal. They had a nice weight to them, and when one flipped through the new books, there was the scent of ink.

Lu Xingchi and Du Ruo each found stack after stack of books they wanted to take. They handed the books over to Bei Nuan to store in her pocket space.

"Let's bring back books for Jiang Fei too." Du Ruo pondered, "What kind of books do you think he likes to read?"

Lu Xingchi took a book from a shelf and tossed it at Du Ruo.

Du Ruo looked at the cover. The title was written in large font, Processing and Evaluating Green Tea.

"Huh? Why would we bring him this book? It's not like he sells tea." Du Ruo put the book back on the shelf and chose a bunch of mystery books for Jiang Fei and Tang Tang.

Bei Nuan observantly noticed Lu Xingchi walking to a bookcase, flipping through the books, and calmly stuffing a few books into his bag.

There weren't any store employee heroes, and yet, he had acted furtively like a thief.

What were the books he was stealing that he had to be so secretive?

She waited until he left that bookcase to go to a nearby one before going over to take a look.

Fundamental of Delicious Cooking, Easy Delicious Dinners, Learning Home Cooking with a Celebrity Chef.

Bei Nuan had to bite her lip hard to hold back her laugh. She had seen through him, but she kept it to herself.
