216: Food Building (Five Updates)_2
But ever since he was seven or eight years old, he never took the initiative to approach the study again.
Maybe it was because he had grown up and become more sensible, or perhaps, it was because he could read other people’s expressions.
Children may seem small, but their minds are extremely sharp; it’s just that this sharpness is almost instinctual, and the children themselves may not even be aware of it.
This time, for some reason, he suddenly came over on his own again.
Only his expression was so solemn, as if he were going to execution…
Old Master An looked on with complex emotions.
“After all, I am his grandfather. At most, I would scold him a bit, I’m not going to eat him. Is there really a need to be so afraid…”
An Xiaofu mustered up his courage and finally stood in front of Old Master An on his own initiative.
“Xiaofu, is there something you need?”
Old Master An asked, trying to make his voice sound as kind as possible.
An Xiaofu stuttered for a long time before he managed to speak:
“Grandfather, I… I want to open a… Food Building.”
Old Master An frowned, “Hasn’t the An Family already opened many Food Buildings?”
An Xiaofu seemed timid, but still plucked up the courage to say, “I want to open one myself.”
“Why do you suddenly want to open a Food Building? Did someone say something to you?” Old Master An asked calmly.
An Xiaofu felt it was important to keep his loyalty, so he didn’t sell out Mo Hua, and simply said:
“No one said anything to me, I want to open it by myself.”
Old Master An raised his eyebrows slightly, “What about the location and the Spirit Stones for the capital?”
An Xiaofu said, “I will ask you, Grandfather, for it!”
As he said this, he was even a little bit self-righteous.
Old Master An was somewhat surprised, then asked, “What about the meals and the recipes?”
“I’ve already got a lead.”
“And the stove?”
“I’ll find someone to refine it.”
“What about the Formation on the stove?”
“Mo Hua will help me draw it.”
An Xiaofu blurted out.
As soon as Formations were mentioned, Mo Hua was the first one that came to his mind…
Old Master An then understood.
But he wasn’t displeased; on the contrary, he was quite happy.
If Mo Hua would help An Xiaofu, no matter what it was, it would be a good thing.
Old Master An pretended to ponder and didn’t speak.
An Xiaofu felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, filled with both anticipation and anxiety, his heart fluttering up and down as sweat continuously beaded on his plump forehead.
Old Master An felt it was enough and then nodded his head, saying, “I agree.”
Overjoyed, An Xiaofu’s eyes widened, “Really?”
Old Master An nodded, “Go to your father. Whatever you lack, just say I agreed. He is not allowed to make excuses.”
“Oh, oh,” An Xiaofu nodded repeatedly then immediately ran out.
Halfway through his run, he suddenly remembered something and rushed back, saying respectfully:
“Thank you, Grandfather!”
Old Master An shook his head with a trace of helplessness, “Go ahead.”
An Xiaofu ran out again, his entire body immersed in joy, his feet feeling soft as if he were walking on cotton.
An Xiaofu found his father An Yonglu and relayed his grandfather’s words.
An Yonglu was surprised, “Really?”
“Grandfather promised!” An Xiaofu became even more self-righteous.
An Yonglu was somewhat skeptical, but he also knew his son wasn’t brave enough to lie on such a grand scale, especially not using Old Master An’s name.
An Yonglu agreed, and as An Xiaofu left happily, he went to find Old Master An.
“Father, about Xiaofu’s matter…”
“Just let him do it.”
“But…”
