“Yanyan, here, it’s happening again.” 005 quickly flew to Mu Yan’s side and spoke speechlessly.
Mu Yan followed to the door, and when he came back, he had a few strange-looking plants in his hands and then used appraisal skill to identify them one by one.
[Long fruit, not edible.]
[Black locust, not edible.]
[Red haw fruit, edible.]
This situation had been going on for three days. Every morning, when Mu Yan woke up, he would find some strange plants at the door. Sometimes branches and leaves, sometimes some fruits, and so on.
Mu Yan had no idea who had placed them there, and after using his appraisal skill, he could occasionally identify edible items. This made Mu Yan even more curious about the purpose of that person for these things.
When they originally discovered this, no one took it seriously. When they noticed it the next day, 005 decided to get up early and squat. However, by the time he got up, something had already appeared at the door, as if out of thin air, which irritated 005.
“How early did that person get up?” 005 grumbled depressingly. His fighting spirit was stirred at the same time.
So 005 worked hard that night to remain awake all night. As morning approached, 005 felt nervous and delighted when he noticed a small figure heading towards him in the distance.
As the figure got closer, 005 became more agitated; the hairs on his body stood on edge, and he was ready to fly into the bedroom at any moment.
“Yanyan, Yanyan, that person has appeared, please get up quickly.” The voice of 005 was loud enough to disturb those who were still sleeping.
Mu Chen’s sharp eyes flew at 005, causing him to forcefully swallow the following words, but Mu Yan had already been woken up by him and sat up wiping his drowsy eyes.
“Ah Chen, what happened?” Mu Yan asked subconsciously as his head was still a little confused.
“It’s okay, you can sleep again.” Mu Chen gently patted Mu Yan’s back, coaxing him.
But Mu Yan was also confused for a while, and then remembered the matter of 005 squatting guarding the mysterious person. Hearing 005’s voice just now, it must be that person who appeared.
“005, has that person appeared?” Mu Yan hurriedly asked.
“He’ll be here soon.” 005 nodded quickly.
Mu Yan started putting on his coat right away. That person finally arrived after several days of waiting.
Mu Chen had no choice but to secretly stare at 005, after which he suited up and went out with him.

When the door of Mu’s house opened, that person was just putting down the things on his back, maybe he didn’t expect the door to open suddenly, and he was stunned on the spot.
“Wljb Cc?” Ze Tjc fzmijlwfv lc regqglrf, mifjgis cba fzqfmalcu atlr qfgrbc ab yf Hljb Cc.

“Mmm.” Xiao An’s voice was like a mosquito fly, and he kept lowering his head and dared not lift it up.
“Where did you find these?”
“In the forest.” Qiao An spoke in a quieter voice.
“Did you go to the forest by yourself?” Mu Yan was even more amazed, but he was also genuinely concerned. He couldn’t comprehend how a child like him could have gone to the forest alone and discovered so many plants.
Qiao An didn’t respond, but his expression said it all.
“You can’t go to the forest alone in the future, Xiao An; it’s too dangerous for you.” Mu Yan frowned firmly, a serious expression on his face.
When Ah Chen followed, he dared to go a little further each time, and he needed to bring a lot of medicines just in case. How could Xiao An, who was so young, walk to the forest by himself? It was too risky.
Xiao An’s head drooped even lower, engulfed in frustration.
Mu Yan stepped forward to touch the other party’s head with heartache, patted it reassuringly, and said in a soft tone, “Xiao An, Brother Ah Yan appreciates your kindness, but the forest is really too dangerous for children. If something happens to you, Brother Ah Yan will feel guilty and sad, so don’t go there in the future, okay?”
After these few days, how could Mu Yan still not know Qiao An’s purpose? He was helping him find ingredients. This intention moved him a lot, but he couldn’t accept it for granted.
“Brother Ah Yan…”Xiao An mumbled, wanting to say something but not knowing how.
“Hmm?” Mu Yan encouraged the other party to continue.
Xiao An finally mustered up the courage and said, “I want to help you.”
He had been living with his grandparents since he was very young. Apart from his grandparents, Brother Ah Yan was the first person who treated him so well. He not only drove away those who bullied him, but also often cooked delicious food for him. His words were also very gentle, making him feel warm and wanting to go closer all the time.
But he was too young to help Brother Ah Yan, and he couldn’t do anything. So when he learned that Brother Ah Yan was looking for soybeans, he decided to assist him in his search. He didn’t want to see Brother Ah Yan sad.
But he had no idea what soybeans were or what they looked like, so he had to travel to the forest and bring back the plants that seemed like they might be soybeans and let Brother Ah Yan decide.
“If you really want to help me, why don’t you come to my store every day after school to help, the store is just short of people and is planning to recruit workers.” Mu Yan said, smiling.
Every day, as the store grew in popularity, more and more customers arrived to eat. Even if it only sold a limited number of items every day, it would be bustling during mealtime. So he intended to hire staff to assist him.
“Is it really possible?” When Qiao An heard this, he immediately raised his head, his eyes wide with excitement.
“Of course, it shouldn’t affect your studies; otherwise, you’ll have to go back and focus on your studies,” Mu Yan replied with a smile, before giving him the particular working hours and income.
“I don’t want a salary,” Xiao An stated. So long as he was able to assist Brother Ah Yan.
“Everyone who comes to work here must be paid, otherwise I won’t be able to hire you.” Mu Yan said, Qiao An wanted to say something, but Mu Yan blocked him back, and then sent him away.
“Yanyan, it is illegal to employ minors.” 005 said with a frown, clearly disapproving.
Xiao An who was actually ten years old, but looked more like a six-year-old child, still a minor.
“I know. People who should be hired will continue to be hired. I just want him to play in the store.” Mu Yan said with a smile, of course he would not really treat Xiao An as a hired worker.
Mu Yan yawned. It was not yet dawn, usually at this time, they were still in the warm bed. Why Qiao An got up so early?
Thinking of this, Mu Yan felt more pity for Qiao An.
“Go to sleep again, it’s still early.” Mu Chen hugged Mu Yan and walked towards the bedroom, then shut 005 outside the door.
Mu Yan didn’t resist the drowsiness, and soon fell asleep. Mu Chen looked quietly for a moment, stood up, and walked outside, clearly not intending to continue sleeping.
“What are you doing?” 005 asked warily.
Mu Chen just glanced at him lightly. He went straight into the kitchen to check how the dough fermented last night, and then started chopping stuffing to prepare for the opening of the store.
005 had been flying above Mu Chen, watching his hand movements, proficient and fast. Many ingredients were constantly being chopped under his knife.
If it weren’t for knowing that there was no chef industry in this world before, 005 would have thought that Mu Chen had been practicing knife cutting since childhood. Even many chefs who had been practicing in the world since childhood were not as skilled as Mu Chen.
005 had to admit that Mu Chen was really talented in this area, even more talented than his little host. Although he was a bit dissatisfied with the little host binding Mu Chen as a system partner, for now, this was a very correct decision.
Because what Mu Chen did would also be recognized by the system, and a certain amount of points would be given. Mu Chen might even have gotten more points than his little host.
If the points were only repaid by the little host, maybe they would never see the hope of it becoming zero, only negative!
Alas… Even if he didn’t want to admit it, he had to admit it.
It was only when the sun was high that Mu Yan woke up from the sleepy sleep. Looking at the clock on the wall, the hour hand had already reached the number 9. At this time, the busiest period of the store was almost over.
Mu Yan hurriedly put on his clothing and dashed towards the store.
He couldn’t figure out why he felt like he hadn’t gotten enough sleep lately. Several times, he asked Ah Chen to go to work in the store alone.
There were many things to do, but he woke up late and threw it all to Ah Chen. Ah Chen must be busier and more tired.
When Mu Yan arrived at the store, he spotted Mu Chen working inside and felt even more awful, his eyes filled with self-blame.
“Have you woken up? Are you still sleepy?” Mu Chen saw Mu Yan coming and quickly put down what he was holding, walked forward, and asked carefully.
For Mu Yan’s situation, if it was someone else, they might just think that Mu Yan was sleeping late, but for Mu Chen who knew Mu Yan very well, he could find a deeper issue. If he hadn’t noticed other symptoms, he would have taken Mu Yan to the hospital for a full body examination.
Mu Yan shook his head, and said, “I’m not sleepy anymore. You must call me early tomorrow.”
“Okay.” Mu Chen replied with a smile, but Mu Yan knew that he always agreed, but he never did.
“Boss, your breakfast is really great. If the store is open all day, I will definitely come here for three meals a day.” A customer greeted Mu Yan with a smile.
“I can only make these breakfasts now, lunch and dinner are not yet available.” Mu Yan replied.
“Little Boss, you don’t need to add anything else. You can also sell these at noon and evening. Every day, my wife and kids urged me to buy enough for a day.”
“These are best to eat while they are hot.” Mu Yan exhorted.
“There is no way, we can’t eat nutrition powder at all now.”
“There are few people in the store and the breakfast alone is too busy. We can only wait for a while for lunch and dinner.” Mu Yan said helplessly, thinking that it was time to quickly recruit people.
“Does the little boss want to recruit workers? Your business is so good that you can recruit a few people to help. If lunch and dinner are both available, business will definitely be better.” The customers’ eyes lit up when they heard this.
“There is a plan to recruit people.” Mu Yan nodded.
The other people’s eyes lit up when they heard this, but before they could say anything, Mu Yan was pulled into the kitchen by Mu Chen and he gave each customer a cold eye as a gift.
