A modern Feng Shui master and fortune teller, Lin Wanyue, is transported by a car accident to a dynasty not recorded in history, becoming a three-year-old baby abandoned in a mass grave.
The ...
The young man was caught in a dilemma.
Soon the line reached him. Lin Weiming was now very quick, and asked him with a smile, "There are new ingredients today, do you still want two pieces like yesterday?"
"No, no! I want a lot today. Give me twenty pieces without any toppings, and another piece with braised pork skin. You said that braised pork skin is also one coin, right?" The waiter quickly came to his senses when he heard the question.
Looking at the tempting ingredients in front of him, some meat and some vegetables, his eyes were mostly on the meat dishes.
Today we're having braised pork skin, and tomorrow we can try some grilled pork slices, sprinkled with sesame seeds. Just by looking at them, you can tell they'll be fragrant, crispy, and delicious!
"Why are you ordering so much today?" Lin Weiming asked curiously.
The people behind were quite surprised to hear that the young waiter had ordered more than twenty bills at once.
"Hehe..." the shop assistant chuckled and explained, "The boss loved it when I bought it yesterday, and he's treating everyone in our pharmacy to it today. Our boss is so generous!"
Hearing the young shop assistant's words, Lin Wanyue, holding a cup of soy milk, also looked towards the direction of the pharmacy.
Li Dechang, the pharmacy owner who was waiting to eat roasted sweet potato skins, accidentally met Lin Wanyue's eyes. He was so startled that he quickly backed away and almost fell to the ground.
"Huh?" Fortunately, another worker who was cleaning helped him up: "Boss, what happened to you?"
Why were you so scared in broad daylight that you wet yourself?
"No...it's nothing, it's nothing..." Li Dechang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Why is that little darling looking at me?
Is she trying to trick him again?
Or... should we move the shop?
His pharmacy is different from other shops. People buy medicine to save their lives, so even if he moves to the city, people will still come looking for him in the most remote places.
But... if we move away, we'll never be able to eat such delicious roasted sweet potato noodles again!
Even if you send your young man a long way to buy it, it will never taste as soft and delicious as freshly baked.
After a period of intense internal debate, Li Dechang finally decided that as long as his young master didn't intend to harm him, he would stay for the sake of food.
…
Lin Weiming and Liu Junlan worked quickly and soon roasted all twenty-odd sweet potato skins.
The young man held the others in his arms. Fortunately, the weather was still a bit cold, and they were all wearing padded jackets, so their skin wasn't burned.
The waiter held the one he had added his own to in his other hand.
"Young man," Lin Weiming asked with a smile, "We have soy milk today, it's sweet, would you like to try some?"
The young man used to eat two meat buns for breakfast every day. Each meat bun cost two coins, so he spent a total of four coins.
Now that the four coins were spent on roasted sweet potato skins, there was no extra money left to buy soy milk.
The young man licked his lips, and considering that he didn't have much money left in his pocket, he reluctantly gritted his teeth and said, "I... I'll come back to buy it tomorrow. I don't have enough money with me today."
"It's alright, you're a big customer, so please have us try it first and see if it tastes good enough." Lin Weiming turned around and poured him a bowl of soy milk, handing it to the waiter.
He remembered that it was this young man who spoke up for his family yesterday.
"Oh, okay, okay." The young waiter was flattered, but he was carrying too many things, so he said with a smile, "Could I take the bowl over there? I work at the clinic across the street, and I'll bring it over as soon as I'm done drinking!"
“Okay, we have plenty of bowls at home. You can take them first, it’s fine,” Lin Weiming said generously.
The young shop assistant quickly carried a large pile of roasted sweet potato peels into the pharmacy.
Li Dechang had been waiting in the shop for the young shop assistant to return. When he saw him come back with a bowl in his hand, he took it from him without hesitation.
It's milky white soy milk!
It also has a sweet taste.
"Boss, this is mine," the young shop assistant quickly reminded him, afraid that his boss would steal his things again like yesterday.
Unfortunately, his reminder came a little too late.
Li Dechang had already taken a sip, then opened a leaf-wrapped package of roasted sweet potato skin. He took a bite of sweet and a bite of salty, and the taste was so delicious that he wanted to keep eating.
The other staff and doctors in the shop also found the breakfast that the boss had treated them to exceptionally delicious.
I don't know if it's the novel way the restaurant across the street serves food, or if free things just taste better!
In short, everyone was eating with their mouths full of oil, only the young waiter was a little sullen. But soon, someone with sharp eyes noticed that the young waiter was eating differently from them.
"Why do you have extra stuff here? We didn't see it!" someone immediately pointed it out.
The young waiter quickly stuffed the food into his mouth, chuckled, and said, "This is an extra topping! The owner of that breakfast shop said it costs an extra coin for each extra topping. I added a portion of braised pork skin, and it smells amazing."
Upon hearing this, Li Dechang felt that the food in his hands no longer smelled so good.
"Why are you so inconsiderate? You didn't even bring me a serving of the good food. What else is there over there? Bring me another serving of everything, and another bowl of soy milk too... As for your bowl, I'll pay you for it later." Li Dechang felt that his appetite was getting bigger and bigger. One serving wasn't enough to fill him up, and he wanted to eat more and more.
He then took out a few coins from his pocket and gave them to the shop assistant.
The young man immediately grabbed the money and rushed outside, nearly crashing into the Liu family's carriage on the way.
"Tsk!" Young Master Liu poked his head out of the carriage. "Hey, can't you watch where you're going? Why are you running so fast? If you startle my horse, I'll trample you to death. Even if I have to pay for it, you'll still be the one in pain! Be careful next time."
"Young Master Liu, you are so kind! I was just going across the street to buy some food." The young waiter smiled sheepishly, but he wasn't really scared.
The Liu family is wealthy, and young master Liu is a spendthrift, but he is not an arrogant and dissolute playboy.
At least the pharmacy clerks who had contact with the eldest son of the Liu family were not afraid of him.
"What delicious food could make you risk your life?" Young Master Liu asked curiously, turning his head to look at the person opposite him.
The crowd queuing along the curb was already a dense mass. When Young Master Liu looked up, he saw the four large characters "Lin Ji Restaurant," written in a neat and elegant style.
He felt like he'd seen this character before?
Young Master Liu told the coachman to stop the carriage elsewhere, and then rolled up his sleeves and got out of the carriage.
Why does this look so much like Lin Zhongyuan's handwriting?
And this restaurant has this name, could it be that it's owned by Lin Wanyue's family?
With his massive size and the wealthy young master face that everyone in the city knew, Young Master Liu successfully squeezed past the others in line and walked to the front.
