Chapter 299

"Copper gong cake?"

Xiaopaimeng looked at the thing in her hand, larger than her face, and finally recognized it.

It's that thing Doraemon always eats!

Hehe, it must be delicious!

Wait!

Don't let Boss Cong trick you.

He said the reward would be something I like!

He must've coveted the Gourmet Tablecloth and secretly hidden it away.

Thinking of this, Xiaopaimeng tightened her face,

holding the cake in one hand and the other on her hip.

"Boss Cong, didn't you say the reward would be something I like?"

"Of course, copper gong cake is gourmet food— isn't gourmet food exactly what you like?"

Han Feng spread his hands and shrugged.

Xiaopaimeng: (⊙_⊙)

So the "seven-eight-zero" boss had meant this all along.

There was no Gourmet Tablecloth.

It hadn't been hidden by him at all.

She'd been joyfully expecting nothing.

"Wu wu wu…"

After realizing the truth, Xiaopaimeng felt sad.

Why did Ying get the Anywhere Door, while I only got this cake?

Even some other useful item would've been better.

If you absolutely must,

couldn't you just give me two more copper gong cakes?

Don't you know my appetite is huge?

┭┮﹏┭┮,

"Wu wu wu, I'm having it so hard…"

Thinking of her sorrow, Xiaopaimeng took a bite of the copper gong cake in her hand.

"Huh? It's delicious!"

Xiaopaimeng's eyes lit up.

No wonder Doraemon loves eating it so much!

But then she imagined if she'd gotten the Gourmet Tablecloth, she could eat even more copper gong cakes.

Instantly, her heart grew heavier.

"Wu wu, I'm really having it so hard, uh…"

She took another bite.

Thus, she kept biting the copper gong cake while feeling miserable.

Ying and Noelle watched, stunned.

So,

are you sad or happy?

Han Feng was laughing inside.

This Xiaopaimeng was truly amusing.

Her current state reminded Han Feng of a certain Mr. Zhang from a sitcom in his past life.

He'd once cried while eating because he'd been cheated on a notebook.

It was exactly like Xiaopaimeng.

"Alright, don't be sad—I have the Gourmet Tablecloth here.

I'll lend it to you once, as a reward for helping me attract customers."

Han Feng said with a smile.

"Huh? Boss, you actually have the Gourmet Tablecloth?!"

Hearing this, Xiaopaimeng was so shocked she forgot to keep eating the copper gong cake.

Ying was also slightly surprised.

But then she remembered that this manga, Doraemon, had been produced by the boss,

so having one such item was perfectly reasonable, wasn't it?

"Yes, this one right here—allows you to wish for three dishes."

Han Feng said.

No restrictions—who knew how many dishes this little thing might dream up.

"It's really true!"

Xiaopaimeng flew to the counter, staring at the tablecloth with the exact same pattern as in the manga, a flicker of surprise in her eyes.

Instantly, boundless envy surged within her.

Wu wu wu…

The thing I longed for so much, and Boss Han just leaves it lying around like this.

Envious to the point of plasmolysis.

Since Boss Han allowed her to choose three dishes, she needed to think carefully.

Soon, she had decided.

"Hmm, I want a huge dorayaki! A huge honey-glazed carrot-braised meat! And a golden fried rice made by Boss Cong!"

Xiao Paimeng spoke up.

These three dishes were the most delicious things she had ever eaten.

So she would eat her fill.

Who knew when the next chance would come?

As soon as she finished speaking,

Three dishes appeared in sequence on the gourmand's tablecloth behind the counter.

Each portion was sized for multiple people, exuding an irresistible aroma.

"Wow, they really appeared!"

Xiao Paimeng held her hands in front of her, slightly excited.

Knowing it was one thing; using it herself was another!

"Ying, let's try them together!" Xiao

Xiao Paimeng called out. Saying

As her best friend, she always shared good things with her.

As for Boss Cong, let him watch us eat.

Make him drool!

Hmph,

Even though he could manifest them himself…

Ying didn't refuse.

She hadn't eaten breakfast and was a bit hungry.

The two quickly began eating.

It was incredibly fragrant.

Only Ying, seeing Boss Han there, maintained a bit of feminine decorum.

Xiao Paimeng grabbed the braised meat and started gnawing on it directly.

"Wow, so delicious! I wish I could eat this every day!"

Because her mouth was full, Xiao Paimeng's speech was slightly muffled.

Still, her mind was buzzing with thoughts.
