65 Hearty Meal (1/2)

”Welcome~ We have prepared the table and the food for you~,” Li Yue greeted Tang Shaoyang with a wide smile.

”Good kids!” Tang Shaoyang rubbed her hair and the little girl next to her. There were six little girls with Li Yue.

After that, Li Yue and her friends led him to a table. There were only a few people in the cafeteria after the life and death battle in the last few days ago. The atmosphere was a little gloomy and quieter than usual.

Moreover, some people also left the base which made the number of people who stayed much less than before.

'The only thing I need is to establish authority and law! I can't let the same incident happened twice,'

If the people did not leave the base, there would be fewer casualties. But he did not prevent them from leaving. It was a process of elimination so all assholes would leave. With fewer assholes, it would be easier to manage the base as well.

While Tang Shaoyang was thinking about the next step of his Empire, the aroma of food assaulted his nose. He looked toward the direction of the aroma.

Li Yue with the help of her grandma was bringing a tray of food. They brought a steaming basket toward and placed the basket on the table.

”This is the appetizer for you, Big Bro!” Li Yue proudly pointed at the steaming basket, ”This is my grandma's handmade dumpling! The most delicious dumpling in the world! You get lucky to be able to taste it!”

”Oh!? Really!?” Tang Shaoyang played along with the little girl as he put a surprised face.

”Yes!” The little girl replied with an unwavering look. She was dead-serious with her words it seemed.

”Haha, don't listen to her! She's saying nonsense. I hope you like the food I made and I am here to say my thanks to you for protecting us!” The old lady bowed toward Tang Shaoyang with a grateful look.

Li Yue's grandma was in her fifty-five. Despite the wrinkles on her face, she looked healthy for someone her age.

”It's okay. It's my job to protect you guys here!” Tang Shaoyang nodded as he opened the basket. The steaming dumplings were lining up inside the basket as a tantalizing aroma assaulted his nose once again.

”Huhu… well then, let me taste the most delicious dumpling in the world,”

Tang Shaoyang then took a dumpling with his chopsticks. He delivered the steaming dumpling into his mouth and took the first bite.

Crunch!

The lower part of the dumpling was crunchy and soft on the inside. A juicy and steaming liquid flowed out of the dumpling after the first bite. Even though it was hot, Tang Shaoyang's face brightened.

He blew the hot air from his mouth but he still chewed the dumpling.

Li Yue grinned as she looked at Tang Shaoyang's reaction. She was truly proud of her grandma's dumpling.

”How is it?” The little girl asked with great anticipation.

”This is truly the most delicious dumpling in the world!” Tang Shaoyang nodded his head with a still surprised expression on his face.

”Yay!” The little girl raised her hand and jumped up before she turned to her grandma, ”I told you, Grandma! Big brother will like your dumplings,”

”Mnn, it's truly the best dumpling I ever have!” Tang Shaoyang did not forget to compliment the old lady too.

”Thank you, Sir! I am glad you like the dumpling I made,” Li Yue's grandma smiled in return. She was truly happy that her dumplings were to Tang Shaoyang's taste.

Then, she noticed her granddaughter tried to take one dumpling sneakily with her little hand, ”Li Yue! You can take that. You have yours in the kitchen!”

The old lady reprimanded the little girl as she hit Li Yue's hand lightly.

”Oh, she can have one if she wants to,” Tang Shaoyang did not mind if it was the little girl who tried to steal his food.

Li Yue stuck her tongue out as she smiled embarrassedly, ”It's okay, I have mine in the kitchen~,”

”Okay, let's get yours in the kitchen. Don't disturb Big Brother's meal!” After that, the old lady pulled her granddaughter with her to the kitchen.

Tang Shaoyang then feasted himself with the dumpling. He was genuine with his praise, the dumpling was truly delicious. More importantly, the meat inside the dumpling was the Fogged Ape meat. He could tell that in one bite, and it was also another factor that made the dumpling the most delicious dumpling in the world.

He finished the whole basket of dumplings pretty fast. The whole basket dumpling was not enough to satiate his empty stomach. Fortunately, the main course came not long after he finished the dumpling.
