Chapter 190 - Too many gifts (2/2)
Wu You Lan thought for a while. “Actually, we can distribute the food to the other dogs. There are quite a few abandoned dogs out here on Cloud Street. There should be no problem if we distributed it to all of them.”
“That’s a good idea.” Lin Fan’s eyes brightened up. “Either way, Elder Dog Nicholas won’t be able to finish all of these. It’s better to just share it among all the other dogs.”
Not long after, the express delivery worker made another round to Cloud Street.
“Another delivery for Elder Dog Nicholas!” By this time, the express delivery worker was smarter. He looked for every single package delivered to Elder Dog Nicholas at the goods delivery center and gathered them before making his delivery.
He was in disbelief. Who exactly was this Elder Dog Nicholas? Every single delivery for him were just huge boxes after huge boxes. He couldn’t believe it when Fraud Tian pointed out to him that the dog who was running around was Elder Dog Nicholas. How could a dog get this popular?
Fraud Tian signed to receive one box, and the express delivery worker brought him another. “Every single package in the van is his.”
At this moment, Fraud Tian was stunned. He took a glance at the back of the delivery van. There were at least ten huge boxes inside. If he were to keep all of them in the shop, there wouldn’t even be space to move a leg.
Lin Fan slapped his forehead after realizing the reason why there were so many deliveries for Elder Dog Nicholas. Zhao Zhong Yang’s live broadcast channel was quite popular, especially that day when they were looking for the missing child. The viewership went beyond hundreds of thousands. Viewers sending gifts was a normal thing to expect.
Leaving all the express delivery boxes at the shop front, Lin Fan asked Fraud Tian to gather all the other shop owners at Cloud Street to split the goods. All the dogs on Cloud Street won’t be able to finish the food, let alone Elder Dog Nicholas. He would explode from eating all of it.
“Well, it’s official. These dogs are more popular and more valuable than us.” Fraud Tian let out a huge sigh.
All the shop owners in Cloud Street gathered around Lin Fan’s shop front. Their view of the wild dogs Cloud Street changed completely. Before, they were always afraid that those dogs would bite and were too dirty, but after Sister Hong’s case, they suddenly became welcoming of the dogs. Each shop owner took one or two boxes back so that they could feed the wild dogs or their own pets.
What was originally Elder Dog Nicholas’ gift was given out to everyone. Lin Fan only kept a few packs of food for Elder Dog Nicholas.
If Elder Dog Nicholas knew that he was so well liked by the netizens and had received so many gifts from them which were subsequently given away by his heartless owners, no one could tell if he would leap up suddenly to bite them on the balls. Word of this better not get out.
What bothered Lin Fan the most now was his promise he made to them the day before. The promise that the dogs could ask for scallion pancakes anytime. Looking at the current situation, these dogs didn’t have any sense of decency. On Elder Dog Nicholas’ command, all the dogs would gather from all around and sit in front of Lin Fan’s scallion pancake counter to wait patiently for their scallion pancakes. This was too much stress for him.
It looked like Lin Fan had to have a talk with Elder Dog Nicholas. But no matter the outcome, he had to make sure that Elder Dog Nicholas was on his side.
“Woof woof!”
Elder Dog Nicholas was depressed. He plopped himself in front of Lin Fan’s shop, unable to move, his olive-black eyes gloomy and overcast. He had lost all hope and confidence in himself. He looked up at the poodle across the street and then looked down and buried his face in the ground. His plan was a complete failure.
“Elder Dog, I have something to discuss with you. I don’t have enough ingredients to make scallion pancakes, so you won’t be able to eat that many in the future. If you keep on calling your other dog pals to come and eat, I’m afraid there may not even be enough scallion pancakes for yourself.”
Elder Dog Nicholas’ mood was in a slump, and he didn’t feel like talking at all. But upon hearing that he might not have scallion pancakes to eat, he immediately stood up and barked.
Lin Fan shook his head. “I can’t do anything about it. I don’t have enough ingredients. But if it was just you eating every day, I’ll have enough ingredients then.”
Lin Fan thought for a while more.
“But since you’re the Elder Dog, I reckon you won’t just keep it to yourself, will you?”
“Woof woof!”
“They don’t have to eat it then. Just let me eat it. Just make one for me every day!” Elder Dog Nicholas barked.
Lin Fan chuckled. “Good, good. Please don’t be so generous next time. I’ll make scallion pancakes for you only. But if you tell your other dog pals to come, there won’t be any more scallion pancakes for you.”
“Woof woof!”
Elder Dog Nicholas agreed without hesitation.
Lin Fan was laughing on the inside. Although Elder Dog Nicholas wasn’t stupid, he wasn’t very smart either. He was rather easy to dupe.
“Can I ask if there’s a Master Lin around here?” A voice came from outside the shop.
Lin Fan looked up. There were two people standing outside. He recognized one of them as Director Zhang from Ren He Hospital but he didn’t recognize the other.
“That would be me. What’s up?” Lin Fan replied.
