Chapter 1177 – Will Give Birth
The row of people were all taking long sniffs with their noses.
Old Tian lived nearby and had taken up the first spot in the queue. Behind him was Auntie Zhang and her family. After them, were the rest of the neighbours who lived nearby. There were at least more than a dozen of them.
Little Treasure’s gang had already arrived and were in position. Arranging the tables and chairs, shouting and advertising, massaging Little Treasure’s legs or bootlicking; none of them idled.
In fact, Lord Treasure Snack Bar has passed the phase of lacking customers, but the children were still zealous and energetic. Little Treasure was not stingy and made sure to keep a serving of whatever food that was sold for them to enjoy before the shop closes.
“The Steam Layered Cake today was truly delicious, Lady Boss I wanted to eat another one.” One of the customers was savouring the dish he just ate. It was a soft pastry which looked like it was made from a thousand layers. This type of food suits the palates of the elderly, causing Old Tian to uncontrollably order another serving.
Huan Qing Yan smiled and replied, “Sure, I will sell the last piece to you.”
At that time, a hulking man in chainmail walked through the crowd and entered.
The man was in his forties, with a robust build. His skin was crude and tanned while his weathered face was bronze in colour.
He shouted the moment he entered the door, “I heard that this place sold pretty good food, give me a serving!”
Huan Qing Yan was slightly awkward, “Sorry, the last serving for today has just been sold out. Please come again early tomorrow!”
The hulking man displayed a disappointed look.
“Why not make another pot? I will pay as much as you want.”
“Sorry, we do not go by that rule. My husband needs my care. Please come again early tomorrow!” Huan Qing Yan returned a faint smile.
The middle-aged man suddenly became anxious, “Please. My wife is pregnant and vomits whatever she ate. I came here to try after hearing that your food is delicious.”
When his words were heard, everyone around stopped eating.
Especially Old Tian, who has a surprised expression, “Really? Isn’t your wife a barren woman? Unable to be pregnant for ten years, yet she suddenly became pregnant now?”
The anxious middle-aged man waved his hand at Old Tian, “What are you talking about damn old man, how can you speak so crudely! My wife will be giving birth and is not a barren woman! She is already three months pregnant.”
Everyone believed him this time and quickly congratulated the man.
“It has been tough on you. Congratulations!”
“That’s right! Congratulations Guard Captain Liu! Your clan has been passed down through a single child for three generations, now your family line can finally continue.”
Old Tian passed the Steam Layered Cake that he has yet to consume to Guard Captain Liu.
“Here, take it and bring it back to your wife. Consider this as compensation for my words earlier. If not, this old man really could not bear to give this to you. This is very delicious, brother!”
Guard Captain Liu accepted the offer and thanked Old Tian before quickly turning to leave.
Huan Qing Yan curiously asked, “I have not met this Guard Captain Liu before, what is his job?”
“He is an escort guard, working for the security agency from the neighbouring town. He has some good strength and Kungfu. Although he only returns a few times each month, he would always teach some of the kids in town some Kungfu or help with some of the laborious tasks in the neighbourhood.”
“That’s right, Guard Captain Liu is a great person.”
Huan Qing Yan finally understood why she did not notice this person when she used her divine sense to sweep through the town previously.
It also seems like this person has a good character as well. Huan Qing Yan stopped thinking about this and closed the shop for the day. She called Little Treasure’s gang and gave them some food.
