Chapter 35: A treasure waiting for the right person
An Zhi was a little impatient.
The charred meat skewers are sprinkled with slightly curled seaweed pieces.
When you take a bite, you first taste the fat of the sea beast, which is soft and rich, and then the firm meat full of juice. The fresh taste of the sea seeps directly into the tip of your tongue.
She had never imagined that there were such delicious foods in the world!
An Zhidu didn't have time to say anything. She pulled the clothes of the two people next to her, wanting to tell them to eat quickly. She ate one bite after another. As soon as she put the last piece of meat into her mouth, the next piece of meat was handed to her. She was so busy that her mouth was too busy to keep up.
Seeing the satisfaction on the cub's face, Gu Changfeng smiled even more deeply. He bought another ten or so strings and stuffed them into Gu Jinyan's hands, his eyes full of unconcealable doting.
Gu Jinyan was not very hungry, so he stopped after eating a few skewers. He just took a cup of special drink "Bi Hai Ning Lu" and concentrated on taking care of the children around him.
While drinking, he carefully wiped the oil stains from the corners of An Zhi's mouth with a tissue.
Gu Changfeng said he would take An Zhi with him, but in fact he had already run to the front to find something to eat.
Gu Jinyan glanced at the long queue in front of him that was just halfway through, and decisively looked away.
"Eat slowly and don't choke."
He reminded in a low voice, handed the drink to An Zhi and asked her to take a sip.
An Zhi took it and took a sip, it was sweet and cool.
Eating too much barbecue is still a little salty, but drinking a drink makes it much more comfortable.

While strolling in the market, An Zhi's eyes were almost overwhelmed:
The local snacks on Bibo Star are quite creative, including rice dumpling cakes wrapped in green leaves, crystal sweet soup served on white flowers, tender yellow bamboo skewers with a taste similar to fried shrimp served in a coconut shell, and sour and spicy cold sea slugs. Even Gu Jinyan couldn't help but eat two large cups.
In addition to searching for delicious food everywhere, Gu Changfeng also told jokes from time to time, which made An Zhi laugh.
The market was big and fun. An Zhi felt that this was the second happiest day she had ever had in her life, no, in her two lives!
As An Zhi was walking, he found a toy stall on the street.
There weren't many people around the stall, and even the short cub could see that it was filled with colorful dolls.
An Zhi paused for a moment, and was involuntarily attracted by a furry blue octopus doll.
The little octopus has eight fat tentacles and its eyes are two shiny black glass beads. It looks adorable, as if waving to passersby: "Come and take me away."
Its eyes are so bright that no cub can resist its temptation.
An Zhi didn't say anything.
She was so happy today that she was holding Gu Jinyan's hand, and her little body was slightly tilted towards the doll.
She wanted to take a few more looks.
As for taking it away, this word seemed not to exist in An Zhi's little dictionary.
Gu Jinyan noticed her slight pause and look.
He followed her gaze and saw the little blue octopus.
He squatted down, lowered his gaze to the same level as An Zhi, and asked softly:
"Do you like it?"
An Zhi nodded slightly, then quickly lowered his eyelids, feeling that he shouldn't have such a desire.
She was used to suppressing her desires and didn't dare to ask for anything that didn't belong to her.
Gu Jinyan smiled.
He is the type who even smiles faintly, just like a spring breeze blowing across an iceberg, sweeping off a few flakes of snow.
He picked up the little octopus, walked up to the stall owner, and paid with star coins.
Gu Jinyan handed the soft blue little octopus to An Zhi.
The cub first lowered its head in a daze, staring for several seconds before raising its face.
An Zhi's eyes were full of surprise and disbelief.
She held the doll carefully and buried her face in its furry body.
Soft, unbelievable touch.
She also has her own doll!
An Zhi quickly stuck to the doll for a moment, then obediently held onto Gu Jinyan's clothes again: "Thank you, brother. I will treat it well."
Gu Changfeng happened to come back at this moment. He hung a bag in An Zhi's hand, which contained several packets of shiny gummy candies.
Gu Changfeng squatted down carelessly, took out a candy from the bag and fed it to An Zhi:
"We should also thank Xiao Anzhi for giving Brother Jinyan this opportunity to perform, right?"
An Zhi thought about it, nodded under Gu Changfeng's encouraging gaze, and then shook his head.
Gu Changfeng sighed.
He just saw An Zhi stunned for a second, and saw her timid eyes that did not dare to hope for anything.
Why are children always so sensible that it makes people feel distressed?
This is very worrying.
The eldest son didn't react at all, and I'm afraid it's not noticeable at all.
This family will fall apart without him.
Gu Changfeng thought with some sadness.

The three of them walked along the cobblestone path for a distance.
There was a little noise coming from not far away.
It was a shop with a plaque that read "Qizhen Pavilion".
The architectural style is antique, but a small farce is being played out under the flying eaves.
A well-dressed man who looked middle-aged was being roughly pushed out by two uniformed guards.
The man's face turned pale, his eyes wide open, and he roared in frustration:
"How can this be! What kind of broken rules are these?
I'll pay double! Triple! I'm telling you, I'm going to order that thing today!"
He pointed at the lobby without caring about his image, with veins bulging on his neck, looking like a madman.
However, the guard's face was as still as stone, without any change.
One of them said coldly:
"Rules are rules. 'Star Amber Tears' is reserved by our shop owner for those who are destined to receive it. It is not for sale.
If you continue to pester me, please don't blame us for being rude."
Many people around have been attracted here.
"Oh, the rules of this Qizhen Pavilion are still so strict."
"That's right. I heard about it when I was traveling here a few years ago."
"What kind of treasure is this 'Star Amber Tears'?" Gu Changfeng interrupted, his tone filled with a bit of nonchalant curiosity.
A few passersby who were watching nearby heard his question and some of them whispered in a mysterious tone:
"Hush, keep your voice down. 'Star Amber Tears' are no ordinary thing. It's said to be able to awaken dormant stars and nourish withered life..."
Another person joined in, his voice lowered, but the shock in his words did not diminish in the slightest.
"That's the most valuable treasure in the Qizhen Pavilion. The owner said it can only be seen by the 'right person'. He never sells it to ordinary people. Many wealthy businessmen and dignitaries have come to ask for it but have returned empty-handed."
"Oh, that's amazing."
Awaken the stars and nourish life?
Gu Changfeng repeated it, the words lingering on his tongue.
If this description is the kind of treasure he has in mind...
It's something you can only encounter by chance.
