Chapter 1151: Little Boss, You Are Really Mischievous…

“I…” Elton looked at Amy as he opened his mouth trying to say something.

However, Amy did not give him the chance to say anything as she looked at him and said, “Look at your hands, they are so dirty. I reckon you haven’t washed them for years, right? Even Ugly Duckling’s paws are cleaner than your hands.

“Also, those dirty clothes, have you not changed your clothes for two winters? But there’s also summer in between. It must be because you’re too lazy.

“Besides, is it that difficult to wash your face every morning when you wake up? Look at how clean that grandpa’s face is. This is the reason why others have a wife.”

Elton took three steps back and put his hand over his heart. He felt as though he had been dealt with a heavy blow.

“Father said that the grandma and grandpa cleaners give us a clean Aden Square every day, and it is very cold and very hard on them, so I woke up earlier with the other older sisters and made scrumptious breakfast for everyone. Why would I despise you all for being dirty?” Amy said with a smile to everyone. After that, her gaze landed on Elton and she said with disdain, “But you… are really dirty.”

Elton took another three steps back. He felt as though he could not breathe properly anymore.

Many of the cleaners felt bad. That’s true. Mr. Mag and these pretty ladies do not have the duty to do all this, waking up early for us, making breakfast for us, and treating us like the customers in the restaurant. How could we actually not be content?

Hearing the little girl’s words made everyone feel worse. They all looked at Mag.

Old Jack looked at Elton, and solemnly said, “Elton, Mr. Mag has already done so much for us. How can you have the cheek to trouble him even more because of you? Even if Mr. Mag doesn’t mind, what about those people dressed up nicely to eat at the restaurant? Would they be willing to spend so much money just to sit where we sat? You make me not want to be in the same team as you.”

Old Jack turned to Mr. Mag and apologetically said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Mag. If we’ve troubled you, there is no need to make breakfast for us in the future. This wasn’t part of what you needed to do anyway.”

The cleaners all stood up. Although they did not say anything, they were all looking at Elton with disdain.

Realizing that he seemed to have angered everyone, Elton’s eyes darted around. He coughed twice and squeezed out a smile as he said, “Actually, I was just kidding, don’t… don’t take it to heart. I can just sit on the stairs.”

After he said that, he quickly escaped to the corner of the stairs and started drinking his porridge with a spoon as he held the bowl in his hand.

Just that tiny piece of meat was enough to make him feel like he had tasted the best food in the world. How could he just let that go?

Mag glanced at Elton, and then smiled at the other cleaners as he said, “Let’s continue eating. There’s more in the pot.”

Upon hearing him say that, the cleaners went back to eat.

“Old Jack, you and the old lady should have your breakfast quickly too. It won’t taste nice if it turns cold,” Mag said with a smile to Old Jack.

“You’re really a good person,” Old Jack said with a complicated expression. He brought the old lady over beside the stairs, and started drinking his porridge.

“He is not foolishly kind. Boss Mag is indeed a smart and kind person.” Harrison glanced at the cleaners sitting at the stairs, and then at Mag with admiration.

“Yeah. Klout Bakery used to have really good business, but because it provided homeless people with an unlimited supply of food, it ended up closing down within half a month. What’s worse is that the owner of the shop even got beaten and crippled by the homeless people. Now he’s also homeless,” Gjerj said with a nod and sigh.

“Wow! This porridge is really delicious!”

A cleaner put a spoonful of porridge in his mouth. The lean meat that melted in his mouth with the porridge and the unique texture of the century egg were a one-of-a-kind experience.

For someone who usually only drank plain porridge or ate buns without any filling, such a bowl of porridge filled with the fragrance of meat was simply a delicacy.

After swallowing the mouthful of porridge, the warmth slid down the throat, straight into the stomach, and spread all over, making the cold body feel warm from inside out.

“Delicious!”

“I’ve never had such delicious porridge before!”

The praises started as the cleaners sat on the stairs eating their congee with pork and century egg with their faces brimming with happiness.

The cold was expelled by the warm porridge, and their tiredness also disappeared. The delicious porridge filled the emptiness in their stomach, and turned into energy pumped into their bodies.

Mag smiled when he saw that. Although he had never thought of himself as a good person, he had to admit that doing kind acts would make one feel good.

Yabemiya and the rest also smiled. Although they had to wake up a lot earlier than usual, it still felt good.

“Grumble.” Harrison and Gjerj covered their stomachs at the same time, and their gazes fell on the big pot at the side.

“Father, I want to eat that porridge too.” Amy raised her little hand and pointed at the huge pot as she said with certainty, “A big bowl.”

“Alright, I’ll get some for you.” Mag nodded with a smile. He scooped a huge bowl of congee with pork and century egg for Amy, and placed it on the table at the side.

Amy crawled up the chair happily and started drinking the porridge with a spoon.

“Meow~” Ugly Duckling also came running over with its bowl in its mouth, circling around Amy’s chair as it called out to Amy eagerly.

“Save it, Ugly Duckling. It’s not time for your breakfast yet,” Amy replied with a shake of her head as she glanced down at Ugly Duckling.

“Erm, Boss Mag, we came especially early this morning. Can you let us try your new dish too?” Harrison asked with a smile.

Gjerj also looked expectantly at Mag.

Just then, a few other customers came over and saw the cleaners sitting together, and smelled the enticing aroma. They all looked at Mag.

To have a bowl of delicious porridge on such a cold day was simply bliss.

“I’m sorry, it’s not operating hours yet. Please wait for a while. This is today’s new dish. You can order it later when we open later.” Mag shook his head with a smile. It did not seem like there was room for negotiation.

Harrison also knew Mag’s temper and the restaurant’s rules. Seeing Mag shake his head, he did not continue pushing for it, and forced himself not to look at the cleaners. However, he could not help but stare at Amy, who was eating happily.

“Little Boss, is this congee with pork and century egg good?” Harrison asked with a smile.

“Let me show you.” Amy scooped up a century egg and bit into it softly. The century egg dented inwards, and when she let go, it reverted to its original shape. Just like that, Amy bit softly and let go multiple times before finally chewing it up and swallowing it down. After that, she smiled brightly.

“Little Boss, you are really mischievous…” Harrison grumbled grudgingly.
