Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 1400 - 219, look at you guys (16)

Servant seemed to remember something and chuckled, "Ah! That’s right, you’re from the neighboring town, aren’t you? Miss, we’ve also prepared a small gift for customers from the neighboring town. Don’t forget to pick it up at the counter when you leave!"

Lin Yuan laughed out loud, and Xiao Linshuang also said with a giggle, "Little brother, if your store does business like this, you’ll lose money!"

The young clerk looked at them with a bit of confusion, just about to speak, when suddenly he heard his own Shopkeeper suddenly cry out in surprise, quickly running over, "Lin Yuan! My goodness, you’ve returned! When did you come back? Why didn’t you say anything in advance? Have you been home yet? Did you just get back?"

Gripped tightly by the hand by Loudmouth, Lin Yuan couldn’t stop smiling, "I’ve been back for three days now. My cousin’s son just had his full moon celebration, so we came back for that. I thought you were still living in the Lin family’s valley, so I didn’t specifically tell you. Who would have thought, after coming back, I found out that your whole family bought a house in town. Hence, today, when we had some spare time, we hurriedly came to town to see you!"

While talking to Loudmouth, others also received the news and came to greet them. Uncle Wang was now Mr. Accountant, and although he couldn’t leave the counter, he also excitedly stood up to look at them. Panpan, Liuzi, and a few others also came over, surrounding Lin Yuan with all kinds of questions. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

The young clerk who had greeted them into the store was already stunned by the scene in front of him. How could he have ever imagined that the few young ladies he casually welcomed at the door were actually the owners of Rice Flower Fragrance! They were such grand figures in the minds of him and his fellow clerks!

With quite a few customers still in the front, Loudmouth ushered Lin Yuan and the others to sit in the back hall. Xiao Linshuang couldn’t sit still, and while others weren’t looking, she sneaked back, waving her hand in front of the stunned young clerk and chuckling, "Hey, little brother! Has our store gotten any tasty new treats recently? Oh, and do you still have those spicy strips? I’ve been dying for them!"

The clerk nodded dumbly and quickly guided Xiao Linshuang to the tasting area to sit down, then brought her lots of new pastries, including the spicy strips, of course.

Having not eaten Rice Flower Fragrance’s pastries for so long had really made Xiao Linshuang crave them badly. Although in Dong Tian there were specialized pastries, they were not as delicious as those from Rice Flower Fragrance. And those spicy strips, since they hadn’t set up a tofu shop in the Capital city, they could only grind soybeans and make them at home if they wanted to eat them.

Regrettably, Lin Yuan, who knew how to make spicy strips, was always too busy with other things. Not to mention spicy strips, they hadn’t even had soy milk or tofu pudding for a long time.

Lin Yuan, Lin Wei, and Xiao He were talking with everyone in the back hall. Liuzi was still as gossipy as ever, Liang Zi had matured more, and Da Niu had gotten even chubbier. As for Panpan, she was increasingly becoming lovelier.

"Panpan, when are you getting married?" Lin Yuan teased, causing Panpan’s little face to blush even more as she pouted and hummed, hiding off to one side without a word.

Liuzi, however, just laughed and winked at Lin Yuan, "Next year, she’ll get married next year!"

Everyone laughed heartily, it seemed like all the people from Rice Flower Fragrance already knew about it.

With the front hall in need of attention, everyone chatted for a while before going back to their tasks. Lin Wei and Xiao He also headed out. After being away for so long, Lin Wei went to check out the fabric store across the street. Mo Sanniang was now heavily pregnant, about to give birth, leaving the whole store to be managed by her niece.

Lin Wei was very well acquainted with them and naturally brought gifts, and she also showed them her recently completed double-sided embroidery. As for the gifts, they naturally consisted of the brocades from Wu family of Jiangnan, which she bought in the Capital city.

All of them were embroidery ladies, expertly versed in fabrics, so seeing those exquisite brocades made them extremely happy, and they couldn’t like them enough.

When only Lin Yuan and Loudmouth were left in the room, Lin Yuan asked Loudmouth about what she had heard from Lan Hua that day. True enough, Loudmouth didn’t care in the slightest, "Hey! I thought you had something important to discuss when you kept me behind, but it turned out to be just this. Don’t worry about it, I won’t mind what those people say. If I couldn’t even do that much, all these years would have been for nothing!"

Seeing that she didn’t seem to be lying, Lin Yuan also felt relieved. However, she still advised her not to let go when she meets the right person.

Regarding the account books of Rice Flower Fragrance, Lin Yuan used to check them every month, so she didn’t look through them today and, after chatting for a while, took Lin Wei and the others on a carriage ride towards South City.

Glancing at the sky and realizing they likely wouldn’t make it back in time for lunch, Lin Yuan told Lin Yi to take a detour to Fuman Building to order some meals to be delivered to South City School at noon.

Xiao Linshuang had eaten a lot of pastries at Rice Flower Fragrance and was feeling quite uncomfortably full. The bumpy carriage ride really made it hard for her to bear!

"See if you still dare to be so greedy!" Lin Yuan scolded Xiao Linshuang with a glance, then warmed up her hands and began to rub her stomach to help her.

The little girl leaned against Lin Yuan’s legs, eyes slightly closed, and suddenly started to giggle.

Lin Yuan found it both amusing and vexing and asked her if she was dreaming about tasty food again and laughing foolishly.

Xiao Linshuang turned over and, with her little face towards Lin Yuan and hugging her arm, laughed and said, "Big sister, I just remembered how you used to rub my stomach like this. Back then, we had nothing to eat at home, and whenever I saw delicious food, I’d greedily stuff myself, afraid I wouldn’t have another chance. Oh, it always made my stomach hurt afterwards. You rubbed my stomach just like this, and it was so comforting!"

Lin Yuan’s hand paused slightly while rubbing her stomach, and she tapped Xiao Linshuang’s forehead, saying in mock anger, "Don’t think that by saying a few sweet words, I’ll let you have lunch. Your stomach is so bloated; if you eat lunch, you’ll definitely get sick."

"Big sister, I’m really fine, truly..."

"Enough! When I say no eating, it means no eating. You seem fine now, go sit over there!" Lin Yuan pushed Xiao Linshuang’s arm away and withdrew her own legs.

Xiao Linshuang pouted, looking at Lin Yuan with a sense of grievance, but the act that always worked like a charm failed her today, as Lin Yuan seemed to have a heart of stone.

With a sigh, the little girl obediently lay on the cushion, regretting so much that she almost turned green, wishing she hadn’t eaten so many spicy strips earlier if she had known she wouldn’t be allowed to have lunch.

The carriage continued on its way and soon arrived at South City School. The school looked much the same as before, but if there was any change to note, it was that there were a few more carriages at the gate and that the number of students seemed to have increased.
