Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 426: The Thief

Very soon, staff members helped Zhong Yi change his clothes. When he came back, he was a clean, chubby little boy again.

During this time, Tuanzi and the others made another deal. Although the other party only bought a bag of salt, it was still a business.

The little bosses lined up together, indulging in their sweet fantasies.

Tuanzi: "Maybe today we can sell five hundred yuan, then each of us will get five yuan."

Ai Tanbo: "Business will be even better tomorrow."

Lu Feiyong: "Then we can save a lot of money, right?"

Ai Fengyi: "Maybe we can open another supermarket with our money. Money makes money, and then we’ll buy a whole street of food stalls, with the first selling pan-fried buns, the second selling beef noodles..."

Tuanzi wiped the corner of her mouth, "We can also sell roasted chicken and roast duck."

The children’s thoughts unconsciously drifted off topic.

Ai Tanbo: "It would be great if we had a cake shop."

Lu Feiyong: "Anyway, since it’s our own food street, not just a cake shop, there should also be a barbecue shop. I love grilled meat with extra cumin!"

Zhong Yi didn’t quite understand the topic’s progression, but hearing about tasty food made him drool.

"I want to eat a chicken leg, I’m so hungry."

The audience was baffled.

[But they only sold over a hundred yuan today, how did they get to opening a whole food street?]

[Anyone with dreams is remarkable]

[They really see themselves as bosses now]

[The show is called Little Boss, they’ve really gotten into character]

Finally, no new customers appeared until noon.

Except for Zhong Yi, who was always out of the loop, the other children were all droopy and disheartened.

Ai Fengyi hugged his brother and wailed, "Boo hoo, my food street is gone!"

Tuanzi wanted to wail too but as soon as she opened her mouth, her little nose twitched.

"It smells so good!"

Ai Fengyi stopped wailing and stared wide-eyed outside the supermarket.

Zhong Yi had already pattered outside, "Lunch is ready, grandma made something delicious again."

Once outside, he didn’t see grandma but instead saw the staff distributing boxed lunches.

The children had their own boxed lunches too.

They no longer mourned their lost food street, obediently lining up for their lunchbox and sitting in a row on the threshold to eat.

Their lunchboxes were specially made with less oil and salt, a mix of meat and vegetables, and each had a bowl of chicken soup with a large cooked chicken leg almost falling off the bone.

After taking a deep sniff, Tuanzi gleefully fished out all the bones, poured the rice into the chicken soup for a mix, and soon the chicken and rice were entwined together. She scooped some up with a spoon and put it in her mouth, almost meowing with deliciousness.

Ai Tanbo tried to stop her, "Mom says soup-soaked rice isn’t good for your stomach."

Tuanzi, with justified confidence, "But it’s tasty this way, Miaomiao only eats it occasionally."

About to say more, Ai Tanbo’s peripheral vision caught his sister mimicking Tuanzi, also making chicken soup soaked rice.

The two little girls were so engrossed in eating, they paid no mind to the grains of rice stuck to their cheeks.

Not only could Ai Tanbo not stop them, but even he was tempted, sneaking a taste, finding the chicken soup-soaked rice indeed delicious.

Lu Feiyong had already finished his portion and went for seconds.

He was the most robust of the children, with a large appetite.

However, Tuanzi and Zhong Yi also had sizable appetites. The former was very active, while the latter wasn’t very sporty but loved eating, munching until the soft flesh on his cheeks bounced.

[It used to be just one person Miaomiao eating, now it’s five-person eating broadcast, ahhh I can’t take it, I’m ordering takeaway]

[I’m clever and have already ordered Huangmen chicken with rice, sort of the same right?]

[But seriously, why do these kids eat so well without needing anyone to feed them? I’m worried sick, chasing my baby to feed him and he barely eats]

[Hey there, are you feeding your baby while watching the broadcast? Maybe let your baby watch the broadcast too, watching others eat might make him want to eat]

[My suggestion is, don’t push it, once they’re hungry they’ll want to eat, don’t spoil him]

After lunch, the five children became sleepy.

The weather in Zhu Family Village was great, the environment was excellent, blue skies and white clouds, green water and mountains in the distance, the children snuggling together and nodding off.

The staff were foresighted and had laid out a large blanket.

Zhong Yi was the first to fall asleep, mouth slightly open, drooling a little.

Lu Feiyong intended to fulfill his duty as the oldest brother and watch over his siblings but found his eyelids drooping, quickly falling asleep too.

Ai Fengyi directly snuggled his head into his brother’s embrace, snoozing soundly.

[I want to sleep too]

[I’m using my lunch break to watch the broadcast, have to work afterward]

[If I sleep now, mathematically speaking, I’m surrounded by a bunch of kids while sleeping right?]

[Wait, what’s Miaomiao doing?]

[Uh, that’s not right, how can you play with other children’s cheeks, let me do it! I’m an adult and I’m not afraid!]

Tuanzi initially intended to sleep too but before Zhong Yi nodded off, he wiggled like a caterpillar to her side and tilted his head, dozing off.

She curiously eyed his face, rounder than hers, reaching out to pinch it, her eyes immediately sparkling.

[Miaomiao: So soft, even softer than Miaomiao’s cheeks!]

[Ancient Martial System: I haven’t pinched your cheeks, so I wouldn’t know]

Tuanzi didn’t catch the nuance and realized Zhong Yi’s cheeks were very soft, simply extending both pudgy hands to pinch here, poke there, seemingly treating Zhong Yi as a large toy.

Even so, Zhong Yi continued to sleep soundly, showing no signs of waking.

After playing for a while, she finally lay down, preparing to sleep.

[Ancient Martial System: Someone entered the supermarket]

At this moment, the children were lying near the cleaner area by the supermarket entrance.

With no customers around, the program team let the children play however they wanted.

Moreover, during this timeframe, besides the staff watching over the children, the other staff members were either eating or resting.

The system noticed someone entering the supermarket earlier than those staff members.

Tuanzi was instantly wide awake, rising to her feet.

"Time to make money!"

She stood up and looked down, everyone else was still asleep, so she didn’t disturb them and ran into the supermarket.

The cameraman quickly followed, and the program team hastily switched the lens to several fixed camera positions inside the supermarket.

With this switch, both staff and viewers noticed the man wearing the cap acting a bit suspiciously.

[Am I seeing things? He seemed to hide something in his coat just now]

[Oh my, stealing in broad daylight]

[This program is disgusting, arranging a thief to test the children?]

[Not necessarily a program setup, the little guests all went outside, the camera operators in the supermarket are resting and eating, leaving only the machines on, it does seem a good opportunity to exploit]

[It’s definitely a program setup, knowing there’s filming here, who’s foolish enough to come steal?]

[Not everyone knows about the filming, and might even be from elsewhere]

Tuanzi was unconcerned whether he was local or not.

She watched the cap man’s actions, didn’t stop him, as after all, if he paid for those items, such behavior wouldn’t be stealing.

Tuanzi simply stood sternly on the stool, convenient for her to operate on the counter.

When the cap man brought some items to her for tallying, she discontentedly pursed her lips, "Uncle, what did you hide in your coat?"
