Chapter 532: Labor Costs Are Very High
After buying about two days' worth of ingredients in the fresh food area, the two went to buy some condiments and kitchen supplies. After that, they went shopping in other areas of the supermarket - Kong Liu had bought most of the things needed for the family and was not lacking anything, but Gu Chenxi wanted to shop around more.
After a round of shopping, the shopping cart was full. They wanted to buy everything they saw and couldn't control themselves and bought too many things.
When it was time to check out, Kong Liu packed two large bags. Gu Chenxi felt a little reluctant to carry the two large bags by himself and insisted on helping him share some of the burden.
As a result, she got tired after carrying for a while and asked Kong Yoo to buy her ice cream.
Gong Yoo said with some laughter: "Miss Gui Gui's labor cost is quite high. You have walked less than 100 meters and you have already started to ask me for salary."
"Hehe." Gu Chenxi grinned and said with an expression that was neither justified nor indignant, "You said I'm a young lady, so of course a young lady's salary is higher than that of ordinary people!"
"Okay, okay." Gong Liu nodded with a smile. There happened to be an ice cream window on the first floor of the mall. He asked her, "Miss, what flavor of ice cream do you want to eat?"
"Anything is fine. As long as Kong Suisui buys it for me, I like to eat it."
After Gu Chenxi finished speaking, she pursed her lips and smiled sweetly. Her smile was so beautiful that passers-by around her couldn't help but stop and stare at her.
"Wait for me here."
Gong Liu said this, put the bag in his hand directly on the ground, and walked towards the ice cream window.
A moment later he came back with a chocolate ice cream sundae: "You eat, I'll carry the bag."
"Hehe, Kong Suisui is the best!"
Gu Chenxi handed the bag to Gong Liu, then reached out to take the sundae, scooped up a small spoonful with a spoon and put it into his mouth happily.
The fluffy and icy sundae melts in your mouth, and the sweet milky aroma fills your mouth. It is so delicious!
"Yeah, delicious!"
Gong Liu looked at Gu Chenxi's happy smile and chuckled. After laughing, Gong Liu looked at the two bags in his hands and felt that something was wrong...
Clearly, it was Gu Chenxi who took the initiative to help her share the weight in the beginning, so how come in the end, she didn't share any of the weight at all, and she even had to give herself a sundae?
If you calculate carefully, aren't these all sunk costs? I don't get any benefit at all!
Just as Kong Liu was thinking about it, Gu Chenxi suddenly scooped a large spoonful of ice cream with chocolate sauce and fed it to his mouth.
"Ah, open your mouth~"
"I do not……"
Gong Liu opened his mouth and was about to say he didn't want to eat it, but Gu Chenxi didn't give him a chance to refuse and directly fed the ice cream into his mouth.
The sweet ice cream is indeed... delicious.
He immediately swallowed back the words "I don't want to eat it" that he hadn't said just now - there was no reason for him not to eat the ice cream his girlfriend fed him! Right?
Gu Chenxi stared into Gong Liu's eyes and asked expectantly, "Not bad, right?"
“Awesome!”
If he wasn't holding two big bags in his hands, Kong Liu might have given Gu Chenxi a thumbs up.
"How about another bite?" After receiving Gong Liu's praise, Gu Chenxi scooped another spoonful and fed it to Gong Liu.
Gong Yoo didn't refuse and happily ate the ice cream his girlfriend fed him, smiling like a fool.
As for the “sunk costs” thing?
He had forgotten it completely.
It turns out that love not only makes people stupid, but also infects this stupidity to another person.
Gong Yoo's grandfather once tried to study love from an economic perspective, but later he discovered that love is something that has no logic at all and cannot be studied specifically.
When you are in a relationship, one party always "loses money", or both parties "lose money".
Although the party who pays knows that he is losing money by doing this, he will still do it without hesitation. To bystanders, this is indeed a stupid behavior.
After hanging the bag on the electric bike, Kong Liu shook his hands, sat on it, turned the bike around, and took Gu Chenxi home.
Nian Nian and Sui Sui heard the sound of the yard gate opening from a distance, so they ran to the window, looked out, and then shouted excitedly.
As soon as the two opened the door, they ran straight towards them. Niannian was picked up by Gu Chenxi. In Gu Chenxi's arms, Niannian squeezed her throat and made a cute meow at Gong Liu. Niannian originally wanted Gong Liu to hold her, but Gong Liu was holding something in his hands and couldn't hold her.
Suisui circled around the two of them, his big furry tail wagging happily and he stuck out his tongue and grinned at them.
Gong Yoo carried the purchased ingredients to the kitchen, sorted them out one by one, and placed them neatly in the refrigerator.
Looking at the neatly arranged ingredients in the refrigerator, Gong Yoo feels an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.
Gu Chenxi was in the living room, wearing a mask and gloves, shoveled the poop out of Nian Nian's cat litter box, and then added some new cat litter into it.
After cleaning up the poop, Gu Chenxi went to check whether there was enough food and water in the automatic feeders of Nian Nian and Sui Sui.
Because the two are usually not at home during the day, Kong Yoo bought a fully automatic feeding machine. The machine has a high-definition monitor that can save images for 24 hours, allowing pet owners to check their pets' eating habits at any time.
After finishing, Gu Chenxi washed his hands and went to the kitchen to find Kong Liu.
"Baby, what are we going to eat tonight?" Gu Chenxi asked with a smile as she walked into the kitchen.
Gong Yoo took out the fresh Qingjiang fish that he had just killed at the supermarket and asked, "How about we have spicy grilled fish tonight? I'll also make some corn and pork ribs soup?"
"Okay~!" Gu Chenxi nodded and asked, "Do you need my help?"
"Yes, I need it!" Gong Liu said to Gu Chenxi with a serious expression, "I need you to do something very important!"
"What's the matter? Tell me!" Seeing Kong Liu's serious expression, Gu Chenxi pricked up his ears and listened attentively like a good kid in kindergarten.
"I need you to stay away from the kitchen."
"Hmm?" Gu Chenxi frowned, and the next second she was no longer a good kid. She pinched Gong Liu's waist and said, "You deserve a beating, don't you?"
"It hurts, stop pinching it, baby!"
Gu Chenxi finally stayed in the kitchen to help Gong Liu, but Gong Liu did not assign her any technical work. He only asked her to wash vegetables, boil water, etc. occasionally.
Perhaps because she had never done this kind of work before, Gu Chenxi was particularly serious in her work. She broke the vegetables apart one by one and washed them until there were no spots on the leaves.
She asked Gong Yoo with a look of wanting to take credit: "Baby, I washed the vegetables very cleanly, am I awesome?"
Gong Liu looked at the vegetable leaves that were almost rotten after being scrubbed by her. For a moment, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh. He could only cover his face and nodded, saying against his will: "The baby is great."
