Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 119 - 114: Strange Little Boy

Seeing that almost everyone had become tense because of his words, the host smiled contentedly and stopped keeping them in suspense, promptly announcing the answer: "The special prize’s corresponding dish is Boiled Cabbage, and the prize is a serving of Ant Egg Soup and Boiled Cabbage. Now, please come up to claim your award certificate if you were drawn!"

For this raffle, after announcing each prize’s answer, the host would invite the chosen participants to the stage to claim their awards, like a special room card for the room, which is not convenient to receive on-site, so they would get a voucher, which is a dish exchange card.

After the winners receive their exchange cards, they can hand them to staff members after the event to get their dish. The room card only has a valid use period of one month, after which it becomes void.

Whether it’s the raffle or prizes, they were decided after Tang Yiyi and Pang Zhi discussed it. I have to say, although Pang Zhi looks pretty useless, he’s a bona fide schemer in essence! Whether using dishes as the drawing subject or room cards as prizes, it was all his idea!

Unfortunately, the only ones who know about this are Pang Zhi and Tang Yiyi, not even Pang Xiao knows! So, far away in Wu City, Sun Yue, Pang Xiao, and Pang De are even less likely to know! Therefore, in their eyes, Pang Zhi is still the same greedy "fool" he used to be!

At this moment, after the special prize’s answer was announced, all the raffle participants instinctively turned their heads, looking towards the same direction where the special prize winner was seated!

Even Tang Yiyi and the staff members present had complex expressions as they looked at the special prize winner because this person was the little boy with the online name "Daily," whom Tang Yiyi and the staff instinctively paid attention to!

Before the answer was announced, the child was so nervous he was about to cry, but after the announcement, an incredibly bright smile instantly bloomed on his face, and he couldn’t help but cheer: "Yeah! I won the special prize! I won the special prize!"

Just as he said this, he suddenly sensed something was off with the atmosphere, it seemed too quiet. He instinctively closed his mouth, then his eyes darted around as he cautiously looked at the others, his guarded expression like a fierce little beast.

Tang Yiyi watched this scene with some surprise; this child completely exceeded her expectations. Although schools nowadays implement militarized management starting from kindergarten, there are definitely not many at his age as smart, sharp, and a bit ruthless as him!

She watched the ruthlessness in the little boy’s eyes, and a vague suspicion suddenly arose in her mind — the environment in which this child grew up might have issues!

And just then, it’s as if the little boy sensed something, he sharply turned his head, his gaze piercing through the crowd, directly shooting towards her! He then recognized Tang Yiyi, showing a moment of astonishment on his face. But in the next instant, he suddenly pressed his lips as if he had made a decision, swiftly jumped off the chair, and ran towards Tang Yiyi!

Tang Yiyi was a little surprised, just as she saw the little boy already run up to her, looking up at her, and loudly asked, "Are you ’Chef Tang’?"

Ever since Tang Yiyi became pregnant, she particularly liked seeing children, coupled with the fact that this little boy made her quite appreciative, she couldn’t help but smile slightly at him and softened her voice, saying, "I am ’Chef Tang,’ is there something you need from me?"

The little boy tightly pressed his lips, his small fists clenched tightly by his side, apparently very nervous, yet he bravely asked, "Can you help me deliver the Ant Egg Soup to my house?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yiyi’s gaze slightly shifted as she looked at the little boy, a suspicion already forming in her mind. The child deliberately asked her to help deliver the soup in front of everyone, possibly either as a trap set against her by someone, or intending to give the soup to someone else, worried he couldn’t carry it back safely.

The problem is, which suspicion is correct?

Tang Yiyi became instinctively wary; in today’s world, even if the counterpart is just a child, she couldn’t afford to be careless, not to mention that this child was obviously unusual! Now that she’s three months pregnant, she can’t make big moves, even for the safety of the baby in her belly, she dares not take risks lightly!

But the whole event was being live-streamed online, and this scene had already been captured by cameras and broadcast online, seen by many people. If she refused, how would others view her? Would the Tang Family continue doing business in the future?

Thinking of this, she again felt the child was no simple character, though appearing only five or six years old, he had posed her with a significant challenge in front of everyone!

Next to her, a staff member noticed Tang Yiyi’s silence and quickly approached, intending to help decline, "Child, that isn’t..."

Before he could finish, Tang Yiyi quickly interrupted him, "Of course I can! However, if I personally deliver it, the entire process will be recorded and live-streamed online, can you accept that?"

The little boy seemed quite surprised upon hearing this, he frowned and thought carefully, and then with a bitter, pitiful expression, asked Tang Yiyi, "Can’t it be done without live-streaming?"

Tang Yiyi smiled and shook her head, "That’s not possible! The Ant Egg Soup is the special prize, many people are waiting to see it, without a live-stream, how can I prove to everyone that the Ant Egg Soup is real?"

Although this was meant to convince the little boy, it wasn’t exactly a lie. Tang Yiyi originally planned to have the appearance of the Ant Egg Soup recorded and live-streamed online, to prevent misuse by malicious individuals, doubting the authenticity of the Ant Egg Soup. Now, it was just right to deal with the little boy.

Up to now, she couldn’t determine the child’s real intent, but under the public eye, she was being forced onto a difficult path, agreeing to the child’s proposal, thus resorting to the live broadcast as a means of protection against the child or any individuals behind him.

If the child was a trap set by the opposition, with the entire process being live-streamed, presumably the opposition wouldn’t dare act; if he wasn’t, as long as the Ant Egg Soup was consumed, it wouldn’t attract others’ coveting, naturally, nobody would bother the child again!

The little boy deliberated for a while and seeing Tang Yiyi’s insistence, could only agree to the live broadcast. But as soon as he nodded, Tang Yiyi noticed something was wrong!

The child was only five or six years old, why was he participating in the draw alone? Where are his family members?

Tang Yiyi hesitated for a moment but decided to voice her doubts, "Daily, where are your parents? Shouldn’t you ask your family’s opinion before making such a decision?"

Who would’ve thought, upon this question, the child’s eyes turned red, choking out, "My mom is at home, she’s sick." (To be continued.
