Chapter 15 Sweets and Pastries
Looking at the beautifully shaped colorful candies and pastries on the plate, Will swallowed.

He had only heard of those things in legends.

Will used to be a miner in Lower Nest.

During the heretic rebellion, in order to prevent his family from starving to death, he resolutely took his pregnant wife and old mother to Shangchao.

During the refugee crisis, his mother died of hunger strike, leaving food for his pregnant wife, but he survived by relying on his physical strength.

Fortunately, after the rebellion ended, the governor took in these refugees.

Will becomes a miner again, relying on his rich experience and good luck - the previous supervisors unfortunately died in the attack of mutants.

Eventually he became a supervisor.

His family usually lived on corpse starch, and only once in a while would they dare to have a piece of bread mixed with sawdust.

That is already a very rare delicacy that ordinary families cannot afford.

But the food in front of me is a hundred times, a thousand times more delicious than sawdust bread!
He just took a sneak peek and the smell has been lingering in his mind.

This was a very precious experience and memory, and he wanted to go back and brag about it to his children.

Will couldn't even imagine how delicious these cookies and candies would be when they were in his mouth!
But, the Governor said he would give him such delicious food?
What an honor!
Facing the expectant eyes, Ron nodded: "Yes, these things are for you."

Ron called the maid and asked her to get a new batch of candies and pastries and carefully pack them in an exquisite gift bag.

“Consider these my gifts to my children.”

He handed the gift bag to Will personally.

"Thank you so much! Governor General, the Emperor will always protect you!"

The other party accepted the gift bag of candies and cakes with great joy and almost burst into tears.

Ron couldn't help but sigh when he saw that a piece of candy and pastry that seemed ordinary in his previous life could make the other party so excited.

He secretly swore in his heart that one day, the people of Ers Star would be able to eat such food!
This is the responsibility of being a leader!
Coming back to his senses, Ron raised his hand and patted Will on the shoulder: "Work hard, the Royal Court will never forget your contribution..."

"Governor, I will offer you my complete loyalty!"

Will was silent for a while and said solemnly.

He hugged the gift bag tightly, turned around and walked away quickly.

Power of Hope +100!

Ron was very shocked that one person could generate so much power of hope!

At this moment, he also realized that it was useless to just paint a rosy picture for his subordinates, he also needed to show tangible benefits and sincerity!

But these are what he lacks most now!

Ron fell into deep thought again, continuing to think about how to achieve the greatest incentive effect with the least supplies.

Unfortunately, I still have no idea.

Difficult!

On the other side, Will walked out of the Spire Mansion holding the gift given by the Governor.

"Boss Will, how is it?"

"What did the Governor say?"

“Can those who went home come back to work in the mines?”

As soon as he walked out, Will's captains surrounded him, chattering and anxiously asking about the situation.

Each of these captains has hundreds of miners under his command.

If something goes wrong with the mining team, they really have no way of explaining it to their subordinates.

By that time, I don’t know how many families will collapse!

A bearded captain pointed at Will's face and exclaimed, "Look! The boss is crying. Is there going to be any trouble with the mining team?"

"Does that bastard at the top of the tower really want to make everyone unemployed?"

Hearing this, Will's face suddenly changed and he scolded everyone: "Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about!" Seeing that the boss was angry, everyone quieted down and looked sneered.

Will wiped away his tears, smiled and looked at everyone: "The mining team is fine, everyone go back to work with peace of mind"

“No salary cut?”

“There won’t be any layoffs, will there?”

"The Governor said that everything will remain the same."

"Boss, those people who are going home..."

Will looked excited: "Let those young men come back to work and do a good job. The Governor will not forget us!"

This news excited everyone and they couldn't help cheering.

Suddenly, someone smelled something: "Boss, what's that smell on you?"

"smell good!"

"God Emperor, I have never smelled anything so fragrant in my life."

"It smells even better than a woman!"

Will was quite proud and patted the gift bag in his arms: "This is a gift from the Governor-General. It's called something like Candy Cake...

After all, this is something that only the Governor-General can eat!"

Everyone was drooling as they looked at the gift bag in Will's arms. How delicious must the food be that only the Governor could eat?
The best thing they had ever eaten in their lives was wood chip bread!
Compared to corpse starch, various sour and smelly insects, mutant rats, etc., the advantage of wood chip bread that it does not make people feel sick is enough to be called delicious.

If nothing unexpected happens, these people will never be able to taste those expensive foods in their entire lives.

Faced with everyone's eager eyes, Will hesitated for a while, but finally softened his heart.

As the eldest brother, Will has learned that one should not forget his brothers when good things come to him.

This is also an important reason why his brothers can support him to be the supervisor.

As a Xiachao person, he could become a supervisor thanks to the support of his brothers.

Will carefully opened the gift bag and reached for the cookies.

He cursed, "You damn bastards, wipe your hands clean and stop desecrating such precious food!"

Everyone wiped their hands desperately. They lined up and reached out their hands to Will with trembling hands, fearing that they would not be able to catch the baby and let it fall to the ground.

Everyone got a cookie.

The cookies are still warm, so beautiful, and exude an enticing aroma that simply penetrates the soul!

There has never been such a delicious memory in their genes, so they can't even describe what it tastes like.

Some people couldn't wait to stuff the cookies into their mouths and almost licked their hands clean before eating them.

But some people restrained themselves. They tried hard to control their desire and wrapped the cookies carefully with trembling hands.

Maybe they want to wait to go home and enjoy it with their family, or maybe they are planning to sell it on the black market.

But no matter what, such precious delicacy will not be wasted.

Will carefully put the leftovers back into the bag. There was still a lot of cookies left in it. He wanted to go back and share them with the children!
That will be the most beautiful and happiest memory of the children’s childhood.

Surrounded by the crowd, Will rode a steam car towards the residential area, all the way to Black Coal Street where he lived.

As the name suggests, Black Coal Street is almost entirely inhabited by miners' families.

They depend on the mines for survival.

Any disturbance in the mine, whether it is a mine accident, a mutant attack, or a pay cut or layoff, will cause some families to fall into a bottomless abyss.

On the streets, people were covered in dust and looked listless, with no light in their eyes.

This is the result of long-term hunger.

When people saw Will, they immediately gathered around him.
