Yuan Tiantian put down what she was doing and immediately went up to the second floor. Si Mo had said before that all those who came from other planes would arrive through the balcony on the second floor of the food store. Xiuxiu seemed to sense something too and trotted after Yuan Tiantian up the stairs on its short legs.
As soon as she reached the balcony, Yuan Tiantian saw a strong middle - aged man with the kind of deep - set features typical of Westerners. He was a handsome uncle.
He was bare - chested, showing off his eight - pack abs. A piece of animal hide barely covered his private parts below. Yuan Tiantian almost had a nosebleed at the sight. Fortunately, she managed to compose herself. To be honest, this man was much more well - built than many of the little fresh meat stars in the entertainment industry nowadays.
Bai Ying had been curiously looking at the things on the balcony. When he turned his head and saw Yuan Tiantian and Xiuxiu staring at him intently, he immediately raised his proud chin.
"You, this human, are too weak to be my mate."
Huh? His narcissistic words instantly woke Yuan Tiantian up from the allure of his strong physique. This guy was a bit too narcissistic, wasn't he?
Later, from Bai Ying, the visitor from another plane, Yuan Tiantian learned that he was an eagle - like species from an orc world. In the middle of explaining to Yuan Tiantian, Bai Ying even transformed into his original form for them to see, which scared Xiuxiu so much that it hid directly behind Yuan Tiantian.
"How did you get here?"
After listening to Bai Ying's words, Yuan Tiantian quickly asked him. She wanted to know how these plane visitors came to her food store. She had asked Xiuxiu before, but the little one might have been too young and just looked at her blankly. Xiuxiu didn't know the reason either.
However, from Bai Ying, Yuan Tiantian got some useful information. One day, Bai Ying found a house suddenly appear around his territory, appearing out of nowhere. After observing it for a few days, Bai Ying finally decided to go in and take a look. Then, things developed as Yuan Tiantian knew.
"However, I don't know why that house appeared there."
After saying that, without waiting for Yuan Tiantian to reply, Bai Ying immediately asked, "Do you have anything to eat here? I'm starving!"
There was food, but with Bai Ying's current attire, Yuan Tiantian didn't dare to take him downstairs. Aunt Qian Huashu's family was about to come for a meal soon. If they saw Bai Ying dressed like this, there was no way they wouldn't misunderstand.
"Wait a moment."
Yuan Tiantian looked at his figure and then placed an urgent order on Xijing to prepare some summer clothes for him. Then she went to the kitchen and brought some of the food she had prepared today up to the balcony. When Bai Ying saw the delicious - looking food, his eyes almost popped out. He took the food and gobbled it up in a few mouthfuls, but he still wasn't full.
Yuan Tiantian went to get some more, but he still wasn't full. He demanded more from Yuan Tiantian like a lord, which made the latter's head full of black lines.
"There's no more food for you now. I'll make some later." Yuan Tiantian didn't dare to bring up any more food for Bai Ying. If she did, there would be nothing left for the lunch she was going to serve to the guests!
Bai Ying pouted but didn't say anything. Then Yuan Tiantian told him not to go downstairs and that she would bring up some delicious food for him later. Bai Ying nodded as if he understood, but in reality?
During the meal, Aunt Qian Huashu's family were all praising Yuan Tiantian's cooking skills. The two youngest children, Xiuxiu and Aunt Qian's grandson, were so into the food that they didn't even raise their heads, which showed how delicious the dishes Yuan Tiantian had made were.
"Oh, I think I should just close my fast - food restaurant and come here to help you, Xiao Yuan. The food you make is so good. If it were me, I'd definitely choose this place!"
Aunt Qian Huashu said half - seriously and half - jokingly. Yuan Tiantian smiled and replied, "Come on. As long as you're willing to close your fast - food restaurant, I'll definitely take you in!"
Before this conversation could continue, Yuan Tiantian heard footsteps on the stairs. Before she could react, everyone in the Qian family was staring straight at the stairs. Yuan Tiantian turned to look and instantly wanted to palm her forehead. Bai Ying had come downstairs, with his flashy outfit, and was greeting the Qian family with a big smile.
"I'm hungry."
Before Yuan Tiantian could say anything, Bai Ying took the initiative. Yuan Tiantian didn't know what to say. At this moment, the voice of the system task reminder rang in her mind again.
"Please solve Bai Ying's hunger problem within half an hour. If the task is completed, the host will be rewarded with 10 gratitude points. If the task fails, 5 gratitude points will be deducted from the host."
Yuan Tiantian: "......"
Fine. There was no way out now. She had originally planned to send the Qian family away and then deal with Bai Ying's problem. Now she had to let Bai Ying join them at the table. When the Qian family saw Bai Ying's outfit, their faces turned a bit red. Even Uncle Qian and Aunt Qian's son were blushing. Maybe they were shy because of his good figure.
The table instantly fell silent. Yuan Tiantian noticed that except for the two children, everyone else would steal glances at Bai Ying from time to time. It was really because he exuded too much charm.
Of course, later on, everyone was deeply impressed by Bai Ying's huge appetite.
"Hey, why aren't you eating?"
Bai Ying looked up from his food and was surprised to find that everyone had stopped eating and was just staring at him. He was instantly confused.
"The food the shopkeeper makes is so delicious. Why aren't you enjoying it?"
Yuan Tiantian rolled her eyes helplessly at the sky. Then, thanks to a surprised remark from Aunt Qian's grandson, Bai Ying finally knew the reason.
"Uncle, you're really amazing! We're all full, but you can still eat so much!"
"What are you talking about!" Aunt Qian was instantly embarrassed when she heard her grandson say that. Although this young man could really eat a lot, it wasn't polite to say it directly in front of him. Then she looked at Bai Ying apologetically, "Sorry. Kids talk nonsense."
Hearing this, Bai Ying put down his food and let out a loud laugh.
"This is nothing. I can eat even more!"
Bai Ying proudly raised his head. When Aunt Qian's grandson saw that he wasn't angry, he got excited. He got off his chair, ran in front of Bai Ying, and touched Bai Ying's stomach with his little hand. "It's really not bulging at all. Uncle, you're so amazing! Can you teach me?"
Seeing someone admire him so much, Bai Ying instantly became arrogant.
"We Bai..."
Just as Bai Ying was about to say something he shouldn't, Yuan Tiantian quickly coughed to remind him. Only then did Bai Ying realize that this wasn't his world and he couldn't talk casually.
"He's just born with a big appetite. He's a glutton but never gains weight."
Yuan Tiantian helped to explain and then stroked Aunt Qian's grandson's head. "Ordinary people can't do this. You can't learn it either, or you'll have to go to the hospital."
Hearing that he might have to go to the hospital, the little boy was so scared that he ran back to his seat and didn't mention learning anymore.
After Aunt Qian's family left, Bai Ying cleared all the leftover food and also ate five big jars of Yuan Tiantian's homemade ice cream before he was finally full.
Although Yuan Tiantian received the task reward, looking at his huge appetite, Yuan Tiantian currently had only one thought in mind.
"Do you still want to eat?"
Bai Ying nodded frantically. The food the shopkeeper made was so delicious that he could eat it every day without getting tired of it! Seeing Bai Ying's answer, Yuan Tiantian then showed a mysterious smile.
"If you want to eat, then work for me here!"
Work to pay off the food debt, or she would go bankrupt right after opening the store!
