Ivy thought that the little boy might come here to play, but she never expected that after the little boy moved out with his father, he would come back again just to beg for food.
The little baby with the bottle hanging around his neck looks like he has lost some weight compared to a few days ago.
Ai Wei picked up the beggar in astonishment and asked, "Ning, didn't your father cook for you today?"
Ning Zai, who was held in his aunt's arms, looked even more aggrieved. "Yes, Daddy feeds Zai Zai five meals a day."
Ivy: “…”
When Ivy picked up the cub, she confirmed that the cub had really lost weight.
But if you feed him five meals a day, it stands to reason that he won't get thinner the more you feed him.
The little fat boy, who seemed to be a little hungry, was already asking for a rice bag. In his opinion, as long as he put on the rice bag, he could eat!
The chef also heard the sound. When he saw the beggar, he held the spoon and his face turned red.
"Ningzi, your meal will be ready soon!"
While the chef was cooking, Ning Zai, who was waiting for his meal, wore the yellow rice bag as he wished. His meal was not ready yet, but others' were.
Ning Zai, who hadn't eaten yet, looked at the people who were eating and was stunned for a moment. Then he opened his mouth to feed them: "Brother, give me one bite!"
Huo Lin: “…”
Huo Lin picked up his small round spoon, scooped a mouthful of his own rice, and then fed it to him.
Ivy felt sorry for him and fed him several mouthfuls of her own food. Ludwig also fed him a piece of meat when he climbed onto his legs.
Even Wagner gave him half an egg.
After being fed, Ning Zai sat back in his seat contentedly, waiting for the chef to feed him. The chef had sharp eyes and saw that the fat boy had lost weight. Although he knew that this would help him lose weight, he still felt a little distressed, so when he cooked, he selfishly made a rich meal for the boy.
Seeing the little kid eating a big bowl of rice with a lot of meat, Ludwig's eyelids twitched, and he walked over and picked up the kid.
Seeing this, Ivy understood what he meant, so she lifted up the little cub's clothes.
The two men touched their men's round bellies, and the next second, one of them took the baby away, and the other told someone to collect the bowls.
"Baby is hungry!"
"You hungry."
Ludwig lowered his head and took off his rice bag directly: "You have eaten enough, now go to the study with your brother to study."
Ningzai, who didn't like studying very much, immediately shook his head like a rattle.
Huo Lin, who had finished his meal long ago, took him away, and took Wagner with him.
After the kids left, Ai Wei called Zhan Xi. Zhan Xi's tone didn't sound wrong, he just said he knew Ning Zai was in the palace at noon.
Ivy thought for two seconds and asked him, "Do you know why Ningzi came?"
Zhan Xi was stunned by her question: "Didn't you let him go because you couldn't finish the food at home?"
Ivy: “…”
It seems that this little fat boy has not told the truth to Zhan Xi.
Ivy smiled and then asked him, "Do you mind if I go to your house for dinner next time? It's just right. I want to see how you and Ningzi live at home."
"OK."
Zhan Xi smiled cheerfully: "My shop will be open in the next two days. You can bring Xiao Lin with you to eat the buns I make."
Zhan Xi bought two large bags of flour and piled them all in the kitchen. He was choosing an auspicious date on the calendar to officially open the store.
The two chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.
In the bedroom.
The little cub, who had eaten and drunk his fill, had fallen asleep. He had a special little bed here, a set of bedding, and even several rows of clothes and shoes in the closet.
After Huo Lin coaxed him to sleep, he read a book for a while before going to rest.
It was afternoon.
The sleepy kid was called up. He rubbed his eyes and sat in the quilt, looking at his brother who came to call him. His little baby voice was dazed and he couldn't speak clearly: "Brother? What's wrong?"
Huo Lin: "Get up and go to school."
As soon as Huo Lin said this, the little kid who had just sat up fell backwards. After falling down, he closed his eyes and murmured, "I won't go."
Huo Lin sat down and pinched his chubby face: "Wagner has woken up and is waiting for you."
After calling for a long time, Huo Lin saw that there was still no movement, so he simply dug him out of the quilt, washed his face, put on his clothes and shoes.
During this period, the little kid, who was in a bad mood when waking up, buried himself in the quilt, trying to suffocate himself and avoid going to school.
Huo Lin finally took care of him and sent both him and Wagner to school.
in school.
Sitting in the classroom, Jian Ning was listening to the teacher talking to them about mecha knowledge. The people of the Empire have always believed that only strong military force is the important foundation for maintaining peace.
They rarely pamper their cubs. From the time the cubs can walk, the Imperial families will start exposing the cubs to mecha, fighting and other courses if conditions permit.
The kindergarten affiliated with the Imperial Military Academy provides the cubs with mecha-model mechas specially made by the teachers in the kindergarten to ensure that they can take mecha lessons safely and efficiently.
The mecha is priced at 12,000 star coins.
This price is not even enough to cover the cost, and only the children in the kindergarten can buy it at such a cheap price. The children who are sent here to study are basically either rich or noble, or have outstanding abilities. In short, the families of the former can easily buy a few more mechas, and the latter can also get rewards from the kindergarten, so they don’t have to worry about not being able to afford it.
Only the curly-haired kid was counting on his fingers as he listened to the price of the mecha.
Wagner saw him counting and was a little curious: "Ningzi, what are you counting?"
Wagner could have gone to the senior kindergarten class, but he felt that it was more comfortable to stay in the Green Grass class. Although the cubs in the Green Grass class were a little green, they all had good personalities.
"I'm counting."
Jian Ning's tender face was tense, and her baby voice was very serious: "Daddy's wrapping paper, two cents. How many wrapping papers do you need for the mecha?"
Zhan Xi, who had bought all the flour, had already steamed some buns at home. He also told his kid the price.
They make three kinds of steamed buns. The ones without fillings are sold for 1 star coin, the ones with vegetarian fillings are sold for 2 star coins, and the ones with meat fillings are sold for 3 star coins.
Jane Ning only remembered the number 2.
Wagner was also stunned when he heard the question he asked: "I, I don't know either."
The two cubs are still learning about ten-digit numbers. When it comes to more advanced math word problems, both of their little faces look equally confused.
That night.
The little kid met Principal Hardy at school and successfully asked for milk powder from him. With the bottle of milk powder hanging around his neck, he was taken home by Zhan Xi.
Zhan Xi watched him sucking the bottle and was extremely worried: "Baby, didn't Ivy say you were giving up breast milk? Why are you drinking it again?"
The little cub sucked up the last bit of milk in the bottle and struggled to get off his father's arms: "Cub likes it!"
Zhan Xi: “…”
well.
This milk is really hard to quit.
The house that the father and son live in is very clean and tidy. Zhan Xi also planted a fruit tree in the yard. In addition to planting trees, he also opened up two vegetable gardens. The large vegetable garden is his, and the small vegetable garden is Jian Ning's.
Zhan Xi was busy opening his business, but he did not neglect taking care of his cub.
He went to the kitchen to cook dinner, and after supervising his children to finish eating, he started to clean up the shop in front.
"dad."
Jian Ning followed him, looked at his shop, and asked, "Are we going to sell wrapping paper tomorrow?"
"right."
Zhan Xi has never been the kind of person who would sit back and wait for his fortune to run out. When he picked up Ning Zai just now, he also received a notice from the teacher.
They had to pay the 12,000 yuan mecha fee quickly. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to wear mechas during the mecha class.
The kindergarten tuition and the expenses for the cubs during this period were all paid for by the palace.
Zhan Xi didn't want the palace to continue giving them money.
Zhan Xi wiped the shop clean, and the little cub beside him was also very sensible, wiping here and there with a handkerchief.
Until nightfall.
The father and son lay on the bed together. If they opened a bun shop, they had to get up very early in the morning, at least at three o'clock to knead the dough, wrap the stuffing, and put it in the steamer.
Jian Ning knew that his father had to get up very early, so he didn't make much noise when he went to bed. He rested his head on his father's arm, with his chubby face pressed against his father.
"dad."
Before going to bed, Jian Ning was still coaxing her father: "If the wrapping paper is not sold well, the baby will be ruined!"
Just like the meals his father cooked, he always ate them bravely!
In the past, Ningzai only ate the food cooked by his father. Since there was no comparison, he always thought that the food should taste like that. Later, when he arrived at the palace, Ningzai realized that not all the food tasted like his father!
In other aspects, the little ones can adapt well to the simple lifestyle from luxurious to simple.
When it comes to eating, the little guy has to carry his father on his back to beg for food every few days.
Zhan Xi listened to his baby's words, and was so moved that he lowered his head and kissed his chubby face several times: "Don't worry, Dad will definitely be able to sell the buns!"
He has already surveyed the terrain. Maybe because of the location of this area, the shops here are all relatively high-end, but no one wants to open a simple bun shop!
Zhan Xi felt that this was a God-given business opportunity. Although he had never done business before, with his brain, he would definitely be able to set up a bun shop.
The big and the small fell asleep side by side with great anticipation for the bun shop.
The next day.
When Zhan Xi woke up, he moved very quietly. He did not wake up the cub who was still sleeping, but got up to do things by himself. He was very familiar with how to make buns, but it was inevitable that he would be a little overwhelmed if he worked alone.
"It would be fine if Ling Qi was here."
Zhan Xi thought of another person on the deserted planet who could make steamed buns: "Ningzi seems to like the steamed buns made by him more."
Ling Qi has a face that looks like a young master, but he actually knows a lot of things. He can make a lot of different kinds of snacks, and even make buns into cute shapes. Besides that, he can also do sewing.
There is just one thing: the house is a mess, but he pretends not to notice and never cleans it up.
Zhan Xi came to his house to deal with him countless times.
There were noisy sounds coming from the kitchen, and at five o'clock, the shop opened. The small shop with lights on looked attractive from a distance.
Zhan Xi had advertised on the street these days and put up a sign in front of the shop, so many people knew that they were going to open.
Customers came one after another.
Zhan Xi was busy packing the buns and handing them over. There were only three tables and chairs in his shop, so anyone who wanted to eat inside could come in and eat.
Steamed buns, soy milk, and porridge.
Zhan Xi only sells these for now. He wants to add some new things once his customer base stabilizes.
At around 7 o'clock, the little kid in the backyard room woke up. He also remembered that he had to sell buns today, so after waking up and dazed for a while, he put on his little slippers and ran to the front to find his father.
It was Zhan Xi’s first time selling something and he felt it was going pretty smoothly.
"dad!"
When the little boy came over to see his dad selling steamed buns, he was still wearing his cow pajamas. He tilted his chubby face and said to his dad, "Help dad sell wrapping paper!"
Zhan Xi heard this but did not discourage his enthusiasm.
He took out two pots of buns and placed them on a lower table, then instructed, "Okay, Zizi will be responsible for selling these. When they are sold out, Dad will pay Zizi his wages."
The little boy shook his head and said to his father seriously, "I don't want money."
Just when Zhan Xi was about to be moved, he heard Zi Zi continue: "Dad has no money, Zi Zi makes money for Dad to spend!"
The conversation between the father and son was heard by the guest. The guest looked at the little cub in pajamas, then at his father who had been busy all morning. He swallowed the meat-filled bun in his mouth with difficulty, raised his hand and shouted, "Give me two more vegetarian buns."
Meat buns are not tasty, but it’s impossible that vegetarian buns are also so bad.
When Zizi heard that he wanted buns, he quickly handed him two: "2!"
When the little boy who could count took the bun back, he said "2" to his uncle. The uncle who was eating the bun thought he was cute and pulled him aside to talk to him for a few words.
The bun business was pretty good on the first day.
But the next day, the day after...
Zhan Xi and the kid who had gotten up early fell silent as they looked at the increasingly bleak customer flow.
Zhan Xi couldn't understand why his bun shop lost business so quickly?! Was it because his buns were not big enough or cheap enough
The little boy looked at his small chopping board and the unsold buns, his eyes turned red: "Dad, the wrapping paper can't be sold thicker again."
Zhan Xi: “…”
Zhan Xi wanted to comfort him, but as soon as he squatted down, he saw his baby crying even louder: "Baby, baby needs to be wrapped in paper again."
The always filial little boy solemnly promised his father before selling the buns that he would eat all the buns that could not be sold.
As a result, their buns couldn’t be sold every day.
The little guy has been eating steamed buns for three days in a row.
Zhan Xi naturally didn't want him to eat buns for every meal, but the little guy couldn't bear to see his father eat the leftover buns alone, so he resolutely chose buns between his father's meal and buns.
Because there were too many buns, the little guy couldn’t finish them all, and he didn’t have enough stomach to go to the palace for meals.
Zhan Xi wiped his baby's tears distressedly and swore to him, "Dad will start the innovation soon. Don't worry, Dad's buns will definitely sell well this time!"
The bun shop was renovated for half a month.
In the school, Wagner saw the curly-haired kid with a bulging schoolbag walking towards him. Before he got close, Wagner said with a pale face: "Ningzi, I, I really can't eat anymore."
When the other children in the Green Grass class saw him, they no longer hugged and clung to him like before. The children hurriedly stood up their textbooks to cover their faces.
You can’t look Ningzai in the eye, or else Ningzai will ask you to eat buns!
As Ningzai's deskmate, Wagner couldn't escape like the other kids. He looked at the box of steamed buns on the desk and decided to find someone to eat the buns with before Ningzai opened his mouth: "Ningzai, Roy is in the back!"
Roy was also an overweight cub. He was eight kilograms overweight at the time. If it weren't for Ning, Roy would have been the fattest cub in the zoo.
In order to repay Ningzai for ranking last for him, Roy treated Ningzai very well.
In the past half month, he had been eating steamed buns with Ningzi every day, and now he has lost all the 8 kilograms of excess weight! His father was very surprised when he saw that he had lost weight, and he discussed with his wife that he must come to see Ningzi in the orchard.
My son said that he lost weight by eating Ningzai’s buns!
Roy and his wife have always been overweight, and their son inherited their trait, so it is inevitable that he has been overweight since he was a child. No matter how strictly they control it, it is still difficult for their son to have the same weight as other children.
Now the buns that Ningzi brought out can actually solve his son’s overweight problem. If the two of them also eat this magical bun, will they also lose weight
Just as Mr. and Mrs. Roy were immersed in beautiful fantasies, their son looked at Ningzai who was eagerly handing them the buns, and his tears almost fell.
Woo.
It’s really hard to repay a favor!
Ningzai not only treated the children in the Green Grass Class to buns every day, he also held the box of buns and delivered the buns to the teachers one by one. Even Principal Hardy received the buns several times.
Director Hardy only ate it the first time, and he delivered the other two times to General Mance by express delivery.
Mans had asked him to take in a little kid when he came to his house. Now the little kid was holding a box of steamed buns and indiscriminately attacking everyone in the garden. Mans should be held responsible no matter what!
In the palace.
Ludwig had just received information about the spaceship that was hijacked by the poisonous spider. After knowing the news, he came to the bun shop in the evening.
In front of the steamed bun shop.
Zhan Xi set up a small table and chair for Ningzai. He continued to sell fried buns in the back while the little boy did his homework right under his nose.
As soon as he heard footsteps, the little boy would immediately drop his pen and start selling buns: "I have wrapping paper! Good quality buns—"
Before he finished shouting, the little guy saw Ludwig walking up to him.
Ludwig lowered his eyes and looked at him.
The big and the small looked at each other, and finally the little one opened his arms reflexively: "Uncle Lulu, hug me!"
Ludwig listened to his baby voice and picked him up.
When he picked him up, Ludwig realized that the little cub had lost a lot of weight in just a while since he last saw him.
Although the fat on her face didn't seem to have gone away at all, the fat that was originally hidden on her body did fall off.
He frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you thinner? Didn't you eat well?"
Little cub: “…”
The little cub was dejected. He still remembered that his aunt and Uncle Ludwig had said that the cub used to be heavy, and it was all the weight of cuteness.
Now that the cub is not heavy anymore, it must not be cute anymore.
Thinking of this, the little guy hugged Ludwig's neck, too depressed to say a word.
Seeing this, Ludwig became more and more confused.
That's strange.
Did this little guy suffer along with his father
