Chapter 211 Take away any leftovers!
It seems that all babies in the world have something in common. Of all the gifts, Baby Achen's favorite was the Super Defense Ball that Hanhan gave him.
First, it is transparent, so the baby can come and go freely inside, and can clearly see everything outside while lying inside;
Secondly, it's soft enough that once you crawl inside, no matter how you roll, you won't bump your head, arms, or legs.
With the Mina Cyclone Ankle Bracelet, your baby can roam freely (and run amok) around the house.
The old butler's gift was a soft little bib. At first, Linghu Yi thought that someone had finally given him a normal gift, but after looking at it carefully, he realized that he was very wrong!
This is clearly a defensive armor made from the hide of a mutated crocodile, and it's even a Tier 5 armor!
He just couldn't understand how a crocodile skin, which was clearly a fourth-tier material, could be used to forge a fifth-tier armor.
Moreover, it was made in the shape of a baby bib. Anyone who saw it would only think it was an ordinary bib made of heat-insulating fabric printed with crocodile skin patterns. Who would have thought that it was actually a level 5 armor?
But the old man didn't say anything, not even explaining the function of the armor, as if it were just an ordinary bib.
Suddenly, he noticed a bright green safety buckle on the strap of the bib. At first glance, it looked like a jade product, but when he quietly released his spiritual power to sense it, he realized that the safety buckle was not an ordinary jade.
It contains a rich vitality, but most of its aura is concealed by a special refining technique. The few wisps that leak out are completely undetectable to anyone who is not a high-level mental ability user.
Linghu Yi naturally knew about the information of this powerful, reclusive healing ability user in District 48, so it's not hard to deduce that this safety amulet was made by condensing her ability essence.
As long as the baby wears this bib, if the infant suffers any fatal injury, the powerful life force within the safety buckle can be injected into his body, saving his life.
Of course, in daily life, these subtle wisps of vitality flowing into his little body will also ensure his health and reduce the probability of him getting sick.
These two elderly people may have only given the baby a small bib, but in reality, they gave him more than one chance to save his life.
Their gifts were surprisingly understated, avoiding any unwanted attention. It has to be said, they really put a lot of thought into it!
In comparison, the large ball he gave as a means of transportation was far inferior.
This was the first time Linghu Yi had encountered such a situation. Of all the gifts present, his was the worst!
He miscalculated; if he had known this would happen, he should have been more careful in choosing the gift.
But he just wanted to freeload a meal, so why did he suddenly start comparing himself to others?
"Now that everyone's here, let's start eating!" Zuo Shan said with a smile.
The table is laden with delicious food, its colors and aromas on display, yet people are only allowed to smell and feast their eyes, not actually eat it – that's incredibly unfair.
At the host's command, "Let's eat!", the guests naturally became less reserved and gathered around the table to begin their feast.
In the past, when Mommy was eating, the baby could only lie in the crib and wait anxiously. Today, wearing the anklet given by Aunt Mina and the protective ball given by Hanhan, Achen quickly controlled his direction with his little feet and rushed to the dining table.
Fortunately, Zuo Shan reacted quickly and caught the defensive ball; otherwise, all the plates on the table would have been ruined.
The result of his rudeness was that his toys were confiscated by his mother, and he was grabbed by the collar and stuffed into the stroller.
Seeing Ah Chen blinking pitifully at the dining table, Xiao Bai couldn't bear it any longer. She took the baby out of the stroller and fed him some peanut milk.
Ah Chen took two sips and then refused to drink any more.
Seeing this, Xiaobai asked Zuoshan, "What's wrong, baby? Don't you like peanut milk?"
Zuo Shan shook his head and laughed, "Xiao Bai, you were fooled by his pitiful act. He's not hungry at all. He drank a whole bottle of milk before you came in. He's just jealous because he saw others eating."
"Watching others eat makes you crave food, don't you believe me? Try it! If we're all eating and you're the only one watching, you'll definitely feel uncomfortable too," Xiaobai said.
Zuo Shan thought about it carefully and it seemed to make sense, so he reached out and tapped A Chen's forehead and said, "I'll make an exception for you since it's your birthday today!"
Xiaobai felt that babies without nannies were pitiful, forced to lie in bed most of the time every day.
However, if a nanny is sent to the baby, his identity may be exposed.
For his safety, we have no choice but to make this difficult for now.
Zuo Shan thought that the fried meatballs among the four dishes should be the most popular. After all, this is a wasteland, and everyone's favorite food should be meat. Fried meatballs are pure meat, and they are deep-fried.
It turned out that she was wrong; everyone's favorite food was actually steamed egg dumplings.
While eating, they praised its appearance, noting its golden-yellow skin and unique shape that no one had ever seen before. It was both delicious and unusual!
Most importantly, they only knew that eggs were boiled and cut into pieces before eating, and at most they would just dip them in salt for seasoning.
I never imagined that eggs could be fried into omelets, then filled with meat filling and steamed to make these fragrant and soft egg dumplings.
Of course, all the dishes Zuo Shan made were delicious. Even the boiled bean curd was elevated to a whole new level of flavor because of the addition of salt and Sichuan peppercorn powder.
Zuo Shan originally thought that four dishes and a soup would be a lavish feast, but when she compared the gifts everyone gave her, she realized that her full moon celebration was really too meager.
But what could she do? The food available in the wasteland was extremely limited, with wild vegetables being the only variety available. She couldn't very well prepare a large feast of wild vegetables, could she?
In fact, everyone at the meal felt that it was a great deal, as the four dishes, including steamed egg dumplings, fried meatballs, and egg custard, were all things they had never eaten before.
It is estimated that in the future, apart from the Zuo family's dining table, this dish will not be available anywhere else.
Zuo Shan had originally planned to let everyone (except Linghu Yi) take some with them when they left, so he made extra of each dish.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, she carefully packed each guest's food in vacuum-sealed bags. Although everyone felt it was a bit much to take more than what they had eaten, not a single person refused.
Even Linghu Yi, who was known for his poor gift-giving skills, didn't refuse. Just kidding! This kind of exquisite food is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; anyone who refuses would be a fool!
Even the silly dog received a packed meal, and as it left, it licked the palm of its left hand with reluctance.
Madam Gu laughed and scolded, "You little rascal, you're so reluctant to go home, why don't we just give you to Little Fan and let her make you into a roast suckling pig!"
