Little Family Treasure of the Apocalyptic Boss - Ch 43

Chapter 43: Clearing Land

The little snake sub-beast played wildly all morning, so returning to the shop at noon was impossible. Ye Ze didn’t allow it.

The little snake sub-beast, who was walking as if on air, was pressed onto the bed by Ye Ze, ordered to rest well for a nap.

The little snake sub-beast was unwilling. He still had new dishes on his mind.

But whether it was because he had been too excited in the morning and was truly tired, or because the comforting atmosphere surrounded him, he suddenly relaxed.

In any case, he ended up having a blissful nap!

Upon waking up from his nap, he saw that the heavy snow outside had stopped. The white snow and snowman dolls were bathed in the warm light of the setting sun, tinged with a faint red unique to the evening sunset.

The little snake sub-beast suddenly woke up. With a nimble jump from the bed, he began to run around the room, tidying up his belongings.

Wow! Overslept!

Nuo Nuo’s barbecue shop, Nuo Nuo’s loyal customers, are still waiting for Nuo Nuo’s new dishes! QAQ

“Nuo Nuo, don’t worry, it’s still early, it’s not evening yet. And, Nuo Nuo’s dishes are so delicious, unparalleled in the world. They must have the style of a famous chef.” Let them wait. After all, it wasn’t said when to go over today.

The instigator of skipping work all day seemed quite calm. Just as he finished admiring the cute sleeping face, there was the lovely little snake sub-beast to see, which was simply perfect satisfaction. Leaning back on the sofa, he claimed to be giving advice on managing the business, but in reality, he was just using it as an excuse to shower praise.

He didn’t want the little snake sub-beast to labor for others.

Even though Ye Ze wouldn’t go so far as to confine the little snake sub-beast at home, there should still be sufficient rest time. When they were in the cave before, the little snake sub-beast had never been so busy.

“No.” The little snake sub-beast stopped in his tracks. With his hands crossed, he firmly gestured a big X to Ye Ze: a business that earns money shouldn’t be so casual!

This was one of the few ways he could help Ye Ze make money. It absolutely couldn’t be given up!

The little person inside the little snake sub-beast’s heart shook his head vigorously like a tambourine, with two big “refusals” on top.

Upon receiving the little snake sub-beast’s decisive rejection, Ye Ze raised an eyebrow slightly, feeling a bit surprised and a bit amused.

He hadn’t expected that the first time the little snake sub-beast spoke independently, it would be for this reason.

Ye Ze stood up and fetched the things the little snake sub-beast needed, handing them over one by one. Soon, a neatly dressed little snake sub-beast was ready to go.

Ye Ze couldn’t help but lovingly pat the little snake sub-beast’s plush hat. “Let’s go, I’ll take Nuo Nuo there. With such a cute little companion, what if someone robs you on the way?”

“Ye Zi!” The little snake sub-beast’s cheeks flushed from his teasing, calling out with embarrassment. He attempted to intimidate a certain outspoken villain with his eyes.

Unfortunately, the expression of pretend sternness, apart from being cute, didn’t have much effect.

Ye Ze bent down and planted a firm kiss on the little snake sub-beast’s cheek. Carrying the warm and soft snake bundle, they left the house.

The new dishes were imported vegetables and mushrooms from other dimensions.

After selecting suitable types for barbecue and choosing the most characteristic ones, they became the new barbecue favorites that sparked a craze.

Eggplant, enoki mushrooms, lettuce, grilled…

Different from the rough texture of wild vegetables, these cultivated varieties and delicately textured vegetarian derivatives easily captured the taste buds of the residents of the wilderness.

Even the beastmen who weren’t fond of vegetables would willingly order a few skewers of vegetarian dishes at the little snake sub-beast’s shop.

Even some shrewd merchants, combining Ye Ze’s astonishing remarks at the banquet, have begun to hint around the little snake sub-beast.

—The promotion was a great success!

The little snake sub-beast nestled in a small ocean made of plush toys, counting money while wagging his tail. Then, he stacked a hundred Beast God stones together, forming a magnificent pyramid fortress in a box, and eagerly presented it to Ye Ze, “Ye Zi, here you go! This is today’s earnings!”

“Nuo Nuo, you’re amazing. You’ve been a great help,” Ye Ze accepted it and put it into the space ring specially prepared for the little snake sub-beast.

The round tip of the tail tapped on the ground rhythmically, with a cheerful beat.

So Ye Ze’s smile became even softer.

He had mentioned many times to the little snake sub-beast about the final destination of the profits from the barbecue stall.

But no matter how obediently the little snake sub-beast promised the day before, the next day, he would still insist on giving the Beast God stones to him.

Who knows where he learned the skill of being stubborn.

Little trickster indeed.

Ye Ze laughed and scolded him, his gaze helpless yet indulgent.

If he kept refusing, the little snake sub-beast would definitely start overthinking with that little brain of his. So Ye Ze simply took over openly and quietly saved the money for the little snake sub-beast.

“Thanks to Nuo Nuo’s promotion, the land reclamation work outside the city has been very smooth.”

Having personally experienced the deliciousness of the new vegetables, they could better appreciate the value of these commodities. Moreover, the unheard-of varieties, being able to be produced in large quantities without doubt, indirectly confirmed the feasibility of Ye Ze’s plan.

The questioning voices about the public project decreased, and bold investors contacted them at the earliest opportunity.

A fairly perfect start.

Ye Ze gently stroked the little snake sub-beast’s head. He hugged the little snake sub-beast and bounced him in his arms like a child, “Probably the day after tomorrow, after the personnel are assembled, we will officially start cultivating and building. Does Nuo Nuo want to come and see?”

The little snake sub-beast was amused by this. He wrapped his arms around Ye Ze’s neck, securely holding himself in place. After hearing the question, he first tilted his head in confusion, then quickly responded, “Want to go!”

This was the opening ceremony for Ye Ze to connect the magical world to the continent, the beginning of Ye Ze’s brand new career.

He definitely had to go.

“If you go to watch the land reclamation process, you won’t be able to open the shop. Does Nuo Nuo really want to go?” The jealous guy with a small heart was constantly thinking about finding a way to regain his position, his jealousy so strong it could open a vinegar factory.

But the little snake sub-beast was blinded by the illusion and always saw Ye Ze as tall, upright, and honest.

The two world spirits sighed with heartache. They regretted being a few steps late, allowing this fake beastman to easily win over the little snake sub-beast.

“Let’s go,” the little snake sub-beast blinked in confusion, looking at Ye Ze with a puzzled expression. What did the two have to do with each other?

No matter what, of course, Ye Ze’s matters take priority.

Ye Ze felt refreshed all over. Holding the little snake sub-beast was just delightful.

“…” The groundhog and the big penguin hovered on the edge of scratching and waving their claws every day.

“Oh, Ye Ze,” the little snake sub-beast, with his tail hanging on the ground, earnestly discussed with Ye Ze, “If you cultivate more land, can I rent a few pieces of land?”

Ye Ze slapped his lower back unkindly. Hearing the little snake sub-beast’s cry of surprise and sitting up straight, he imitated the little snake sub-beast’s manner and solemnly declared, “I’ve said it before, everything of mine is Nuo Nuo’s. Nuo Nuo should just say ‘I want’, no need to be so polite.”

The truth came out straightforwardly, causing the little snake sub-beast’s heart to race.

“I-I know.”

Ye Ze received the blushing response from the little snake sub-beast with a wide smile, “What does Nuo Nuo want to grow? I’ll have the hired workers help you.”

“Not anything strange. It’s vegetables and mushrooms needed in the barbecue shop.” The little snake sub-beast explained embarrassedly to Ye Ze, “I feel like there are many unstable aspects to always purchase from the store.” And it would also trouble Ye Ze and delay his time, “So I thought, if we could grow our own, wouldn’t it be better?”

Ye Ze looked at the little snake sub-beast in surprise, then suddenly smiled, “Our Nuo Nuo is very talented in business.”

Ye Ze patted the little snake sub-beast’s head, “Don’t worry. These vegetables were already planned. And the small berries and big fruit trees that were planted in the cave before… when the land is reclaimed, they will all be planted.”

“Really?” The golden eyes lit up suddenly, and the little snake sub-beast asked excitedly, “Are we really going to have our own apple trees, little strawberries, beautiful flowers, and various delicious vegetables?”

“Of course. And even bigger and more than before. Nuo Nuo can eat whenever Nuo Nuo wants.” Ye Ze nodded affirmatively.

The little snake sub-beast hugged him excitedly, burying himself in Ye Ze’s embrace. His tail swung so vigorously that Ye Ze had to hold him tighter to prevent the little snake sub-beast from slipping off his leg due to excessive excitement.

“Yay! What time tomorrow? Nuo Nuo wants to go! Nuo Nuo must go!”

He looked like an elementary school student eager to go on an outing.

Ye Ze gently stroked the little snake sub-beast’s back and couldn’t help but chuckle, “Alright, alright, alright. We’ll go. Shall we let Nuo Nuo cut the ribbon when the time comes?”

He didn’t expect the little snake sub-beast to love the piece of land in front of the cave so much.

If he had known, he would have started planting on the first day the little snake sub-beast moved in.

“You don’t have to.” Wanting to show up, the little snake sub-beast instantly reverted to his shy demeanor. He racked his brain and thought for a moment, and a cheerful, shaking light bulb appeared above his head, “Grey can fertilize the fields, Big Black can adjust the nearby water sources. Little One and Little Two can even serve as bodyguards for Ye Zi!”

Nuo Nuo would make delicious food for everyone as a reward.

“We can all help!”

With some preparation, this should be considered a pretty good opening gift, right?

The little snake sub-beast thought with anticipation and apprehension.

Suddenly, the two world spirits who had their secrets exposed by the little snake sub-beast: “???”

Ye Ze glanced at the animals standing still in place, then looked at the little snake sub-beast who was wholeheartedly planning for him, and chuckled helplessly.

It was the triumph of the victor.

The two world spirits gritted their teeth. They glared at Ye Ze, who looked like he deserved a beating, their claws really itching to act.
