Chapter 101: Abandoned Building No. 7 31 (Gold Miner)
Xiao Xin suddenly woke up and was frightened by her own thoughts.
What was she thinking just now? Mom and Dad loved her so much, she shouldn't think like that.
She felt guilty and blamed herself, and somewhat despised herself for what she had just done.
That is Yili's father, not his own.
Xiaoqing, who was sitting on the side, still looked frail and calm. He looked at the food listlessly, without any interest at all.
Butler Tang began to prepare food for them and introduced them one by one.
"This is a tripe bun, known as a 'tripe lover's dream'. They stew the cow's stomach in a soup with onions, celery, and tomatoes. The popular way to eat it is to sandwich it with the crispy bread on the side and then season it with the herb sauce. Would you like to try it?"
Xiao Xin looked at the delicious tripe and swallowed her saliva: "I want to try it."
Butler Tang immediately prepared a beef tripe bun for her.
Xiao Xin took the tripe bun, took a bite, and her eyes lit up: "It's delicious! Yili! Don't you really want to try it?"
Yili tutted his words: "I have no appetite. I don't want to eat."
"...Okay then." Xiao Xin immediately ate slowly and quietly.
Butler Tang was not surprised and continued to introduce the next dish.
"This is a cannoli, made of a fried pastry tube filled with ricotta cheese. It can be sprinkled with various nuts, candies, candied fruits, or flavored with chocolate and icing sugar. It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside." Butler Tang looked at Yi Li gently: "Miss, this is your favorite. Would you like to try it?"
Hearing this, Yi Li shook his head: "I don't want to taste it. I have no appetite. You should ask them."
"It seems that the young lady has eaten her fill just now."
Butler Tang said with a smile upon hearing this.
"Do you want to try it?" Butler Tang's eyes fell on Xiaoqing.
Xiaoqing nodded.
Butler Tang also made one for him using a gold iron clamp.
Xiao Xin is still working hard on her beef tripe buns.
Xiaoqing took a small bite with his knife and fork and put it down.
"It's an Italian pizza, made with flour, oil, salt, and water. It's traditionally cooked in a terracotta pan, but nowadays it's cooked in a frying pan or electric griddle. It's usually made into a sandwich. This pizza is topped with ham, cream, and cheese..."
Only Xiao Xin enjoyed this meal the most.
As Yili was eating, he seemed to remember something and looked at Butler Tang: "Where did that little fat guy go?"
"The gentleman sent the child back first, saying he was worried that he might hurt the young lady and the other two children."
Butler Tang's answer was flawless.
The light shone on them, giving the food an attractive sheen.
"Little boy, you can eat slower, don't choke."
He was the only child sitting at the round table, with countless delicacies in front of him.
There was a row of maids standing next to him who were specifically serving him, and there were people sitting on both sides who were specifically picking up food for him.
"This is a Roman roast pork bun." A beautiful maid added a slice for him and then introduced it. "We debone the pork and then roast it over wood for at least eight hours, leaving the skin and meat together. We usually salt it generously and fill it with garlic, rosemary, fennel, or wild herbs, or you can leave it plain. This time, we're filling it with rosemary and fennel."
As they spoke, the maids looked at him with such greed in their eyes that it made people feel a chill down their spine.
Li Hu was so focused on eating that he didn't listen to any of this carefully, let alone notice anything was wrong around him.
He didn't know why, but as he ate, he felt hungrier and hungrier, and just wanted to keep eating.
They also never stopped putting food on his plate.
His face was greasy from eating and beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead.
"Our last dish is called foie gras. Our foie gras is the most delicious because our geese eat voluntarily. As long as we don't want them to stop, they will keep eating..."
He had long since blocked out the maid's voice, and all he could see was the endless supply of food.
If he lowered his head, he would find that his stomach was like a balloon, constantly inflating, with only a thin layer of skin left, and it could burst at any time.
At the warehouse door.
"Our master is very sorry about Young Master Chen's injury. That's why he asked me to bring Young Master Chen here to choose a gift." The elderly housekeeper Zeng pushed open the heavy golden door, revealing a paradise of desire to Chen Wang.
Ornaments inlaid with large gems in gold and toys made of gold are neatly placed on gold display stands, emitting a golden glow.
Chen Wang felt like he was going blind.
His eyes, swollen into slits, were filled with greed.
Lots of gold! Really lots of gold!
He couldn't help swallowing and felt like his heart was about to jump out.
"The master said that as long as you can take them out, they will all be sent to your home. Master Chen can choose your gifts as much as you want."
Young Master Chen was gently pushed, his eyes already glued to the gold objects: "Okay, okay."
He walked forward step by step.
The little turtle was made of gold, with emeralds inlaid in its eyes. He reached out and put it into his pocket. It was heavy, but it made him feel satisfied.
The little golden rabbit next to him tilted its head and looked at him. He took it off and put it back in his pocket.
Not enough! Not enough! He wants more!
Unconsciously, he was dragging a bunch of gold objects behind him as he walked forward. His clothes were torn into strips and tied to the objects, which he dragged forward.
The two rows of display racks at the back were empty, as if they had been looted.
He searched tirelessly, with only the shining gold in his eyes. Even the pile of golden rotten bones lying beside him was ignored by him.
…
"Sir, is it really okay for us to do this? With so many children disappearing, the police and reporters are already smelling something."
There was a look of pity in Butler Zeng's eyes, and his tone was a bit panicked.
"Lao Zeng, what are you afraid of? We've already given their parents enough money. They volunteered and took the initiative. We never threatened them."
The man smiled and put out the fishy-smelling cigar in his hand. He turned to look at Butler Zeng and said, "Don't forget, we can't go back any more. Its appetite is getting bigger and bigger. If we don't take good care of it, we'll be the next ones to suffer."
"I see. I'm too stupid and don't have the foresight of the gentleman."
The reluctance in Butler Zeng's eyes disappeared, and his words were full of admiration and self-deprecation.
"Old Zeng, being too kind will only hurt yourself. By the way, how are Xiaoli and the others doing now?"
"The little girl named Xiao Xin is ready to stay and tour the place with the young lady. The child named Xiao Qing is really dumb and didn't say anything."
Coming!!!
