Delicious Superheroes
Chapter 6
Gu Shanna quickly scanned through the available ingredients. When she saw the canned sweet corn delivered by the distribution company, she decided to make the Golden Corn Pancake. No Homo sapiens could resist this sweet, crispy, and delicious fried food.
The canned corn was cooked in the first place. She rinsed it with cold water and mixed it with a spoonful of dried starch while there was still some moisture.
It was indeed efficient to have a professional chef as an assistant. As soon as Gu Shanna was done with the preparations, Gebbi's oil temperature was up to standard.
So, she slowly poured in the corn kernels and spread them flat until the corn turned golden and emitted the unique fragrance of fried food.
Most of the kitchenware in her house was designed for singles. For example, the frying pan she was using now claimed that "only one egg can be fried at a time." Therefore, the corn pancake she made was only slightly bigger than an adult's palm, and just enough for a child.
When sprinkling the sugar powder, Gu Shanna took into consideration the Westerners' crazy love for sweets, so she deliberately increased the amount of white sugar used. A thick layer of sugar was spread out, and only the little brat could bear the heat.
Gebbi sniffed the hot aroma and was a little greedy. "I'm going to throw a tantrum in a restaurant in the future. I'll cry if they don't give me food."
"…" Gu Shanna shoveled the corn pancake into the carton. "Can you be a little more mature?"
"I'm only obsessed with delicious food in my life."
Gebbi's eyes were glued to the golden corn pancake, and she was almost drooling. "What kind of man is this? Get lost!"
Expressionlessly, Gu Shanna pointed out the window. "Look, Detective Grayson is back at the police department!"
"Where? Where?"
Gebbi immediately threw off her apron and ran over. She leaned against the window and looked in the direction that Selina was pointing, completely forgetting that she had just made a dissing declaration three seconds ago.
Gu Shanna: "…"

The two of them hurried to the restaurant and pushed open the glass door that was wrapped in newspapers. Gu Shanna saw a blonde girl in a white puffy dress. Jamie was sitting by the window with a child, looking rather disapproving.
The little girl insisted that she had no parents. He could have guessed with his big toe that this was another one of Gotham's tragedies where parents were both arrested for crimes and underage children became homeless.
The result was obvious. Their parents were in prison, and their children were either adopted, sent to welfare homes, or left to wander the streets. After more than ten years, due to the lack of discipline, they followed the same path as their parents.
He had seen too many things like this. At first, he still had sympathy and pity, but now, all he had left was numbness.
"Lady Boss."
Jamie stood up and pointed at the little girl opposite him. He lowered his voice and said, "Five years old, homeless."
The little girl heard the noise and slowly turned her head.
Her face was pale and her facial features were extremely delicate. She had big blue eyes and a high nose bridge. Her small red lips were slightly pursed, revealing a somewhat aggrieved expression.
Gu Shanna's maternal heart melted in an instant.
"Oh, poor little girl."
Gebbi rushed over and poured a cup of hot cocoa for her. She even added a lot of cotton candy. Usually, Jamie could not even eat one more.
"Thank you."
The little girl whispered and took the cup with both hands. The long-awaited heat flowed into her body through her fingertips, bringing her a sense of security.
"Hi, how are you?"
Gu Shanna carefully sat opposite her and smiled. "My name is Shanna, the boss here. How can I help you?"
"My name is … My name is …" The little girl seemed to have difficulty speaking. After a while, she said, "My name is Sissi."
Gu Shanna praised, "What a cute name."
The little girl frowned, and an inexplicable humiliation appeared on her face again. She stared at the paper box in Gu Shanna's hand and asked, "Is this food?"
"Yes, I made golden corn pancakes." Gu Shanna opened the box. "This is a snack from my hometown."
"It smells so good!" Sissi looked at it and said eagerly, "Can I eat this?"
"Of course." Gu Shanna opened the disposable fork and handed it to her. "Do you need me to cut it smaller for you?"
"No, thank you." The little girl smiled at her, opened her mouth and took a big bite.
Gu Shanna was speechless.
The sweet corn kernels had been fried at high temperature, and the surface had become crispy, but the inside was still crispy and sweet. When chewed lightly, it immediately exploded in the mouth. However, it was not as greasy and sweet as the sugar beads. The light fragrance of the herbs balanced the sweetness, and no matter how much one ate, they would not get sick of it.
Sissi's eyes glowed as she ate. Her tongue nimbly rolled up and licked the sugar off her mouth clean. She looked at Gu Shanna with admiration.
Fried food was indeed a blissful existence!
Sissi finished the small piece of corn pancake quickly, as if she hadn't had enough yet. However, with her appetite, it was already difficult for her to even drink water.
Thus, Xixi's expression changed. Her eyes were filled with anger and grievance that were about to burst out, as if she had been greatly humiliated.
Gebbi pulled Gu Shanna aside when she saw that. "Poor girl. Did her parents abandon her?"
"I don't know." Gu Shanna wiped her hands. "I'll take her to the police station. Do you want to come with me?"
Gebbi put on the face of a saintess. "No, I've already given up on men."
Gu Shanna said, "Oh, really?
I don't think my French windows agree with you. "
Gebbi: "…"

To her surprise, Sissi didn't object to her suggestion. After they entered the police station, she even asked to see Detective Dick Grayson.
Gu Shanna immediately had a bad feeling. A cliché common in Taiwan popped up in her head, and a barrage of comments popped up.
His first love ran away with the ball, and a young detective suddenly became a father!
Shocking!
The adopted son of a famous magnate liked to talk about his illegitimate daughter, and the reason was actually …
…
Shocked by herself, Gu Shanna hurriedly recited "I'm a pure novelist" three hundred times to force the impure thoughts out of her head.
"Detective Grayson?
Let me see if he's here. "
The officer who received them rushed up the stairs and shouted in a certain direction, "Hey, Detective Grayson?
Someone's looking for you. "
Half a minute later, Dick appeared next to the stairs with a black-haired boy who was struggling under his arm. "What's the matter?
The boy punched and kicked. "Let go of me! Let go of me!"
Gu Shanna: "…"
The officer in charge of the reception explained why he was here and left.
As soon as his figure disappeared down the stairs, Damien immediately burst into a barbell-like laughter.
After he was done laughing, he lowered his voice and said in a creepy voice, "Well done, Dick!
A beauty brought a little beauty to the police station to look for you. You're going to be a father! "
After that, Damien craned his neck and looked down the stairs. "Let me see, let me see that beauty … Holy sh * t!"
"You're not allowed to swear." Dick slapped him hard on the butt, making a crisp sound.
Damien jerked his head back, as if he was avoiding something. "I know that beauty. I gave her a flyer a few days ago.
She's pretty, but she doesn't have any sense of security. She opens the door to anyone who knocks. "
When Dick heard this, he also looked down curiously. "Really?
I'd like to see … Holy sh * t! "
Dick squatted down, forgetting that he was still holding someone under his arm. He squeezed so hard that Damien groaned in pain. Even so, it didn't stop him from talking.
"Do you know her?" Damien smirked. "Don't tell me you're really going to be a father?"
Dick covered his face with one hand. "Yes, she's the lady boss of the restaurant across the street."
Damien was silent for a moment before he asked tentatively, "Is it the restaurant … the one that made our dad thirteen-spice?"
"That's the restaurant.
But she's the new boss, so she probably won't do that again. "Dick instinctively wanted to explain for Gu Shanna.
However, Damien only noticed the first sentence.
He felt a chill run down his spine and said in a panic, "What did you do to her?
Is she going to take us back to make braised robin breast? "
"Keep your voice down!"
Although she didn't hear anything, Gu Shanna, who had been watching the whole time, was lost for words.
Sissi looked at the two brothers upstairs, and then at Gu Shanna, who was holding her hand, with an amused expression.
*
A moment later, Dick came down with his brother under his arm. Damien relaxed and played dead.
Gu Shanna said, "Hello, Detective Grayson."
Dick squeezed out a brilliant smile, his white teeth glittering. "Hello, lady boss!
May I know your name? "
Gu Shanna said, "Just call me Shanna."
Dick nodded and looked down at Sissi. "Is this the young lady who's looking for me?"
Gu Shanna: "… Yes."
At the same time, Sissi suddenly raised her head and ran over to hug Dick's leg. "Grandpa!
Grandpa!
Grandpa! "
Gu Shanna: "!!!"
Damien, who was playing dead, shook his feet, then straightened his body and pretended to be dead again.
Dick didn't know what to do. He looked at Gu Shanna for help and mouthed, "Help …"
Gu Shanna said, "I don't know how to save you …"
In the end, after much consideration, Dick threw Damien onto the couch in the reception area and covered the little girl's mouth.
The onlookers exclaimed, "Wow, what a young grandpa!"
"How can he cover a child's mouth? An adult's hands are so dirty. I wonder if he's washed his hands in the bathroom?"
"Hmph, it's a vivid demonstration of how heartless men can be!"
…
Damien was still lying on the couch like a dead body and refused to help. Dick was impatient and didn't know whether to let go or keep covering his mouth.
Sissi laughed so hard that her whole body shook. She mumbled, "Dick, I'm Lucifer …"
