With Lin Lan in charge, Liu Mang didn't dare say a word after paying the money and slunk away with his men.
The room was left in a mess.
Fortunately, someone outside heard the fight and kindly went to the Wan family to relay the message.
Before long, Wan Suizhou came rushing over in a panic.
"Wan Yuekui and Wan Yuechi went out to buy some things and will be back in a little while."
After Wan Suizhou finished speaking, he turned his head and saw Lin Lan, and nodded slightly.
Although he was of a higher generation, he still dared not put on airs towards this young master of a wealthy family.
"Mr. Wan, there's no need to be so polite. I came here today to discuss something with you, but by some twist of fate I encountered some troublemakers and had to step in to help them."
Lin Lan didn't take credit for anything. Now she sat on a nice stool to the side, with a folding fan by her side.
It was clearly an ordinary eatery, yet it possessed a unique and rare air of elegance.
Wan Suizhou nodded in agreement, becoming increasingly curious about what the little child wanted to tell him.
"Grandpa, Brother Lin wants to open a restaurant with our family!"
Seeing that the two had been talking for a long time without getting to the point, Baili Wanwan remembered to interject.
Afraid of not being able to explain clearly, her two chubby little hands followed the strokes of the pen. The way she waved them in the air was both cute and funny.
Lin Lan couldn't help but reach out her arm and pull Baili Wanwan closer to her.
He casually started pinching her cheeks.
These days, Baili Wanwan has been eating better and better at Wan's house, and her face has become even softer than before. It feels really good to the touch.
Lin Lan pinched her hand, and only when she looked up and saw that Wan Suizhou's expression was somewhat unfriendly did she realize that what she had done was impolite.
He coughed awkwardly, "Wanwan is right, I do want to partner with the Wan family to open a restaurant."
"this……"
Wan Suizhou looked somewhat troubled.
After all, with Lin Yuanwai's wealth, opening a restaurant wouldn't be difficult for him. His special trip to seek cooperation with the Wan family raises some thought-provoking questions.
Perhaps anticipating his misunderstanding, Lin Lan immediately explained:
"To be honest, my father didn't initially want to cooperate with Wanjia. After all, fish hot pot, although novel, doesn't require too much skill, so it's not impossible for us to do it if we wanted to."
He told him the truth, and sure enough, Wan Suizhou nodded, clearly believing him.
He continued, "But I believe that if a restaurant can have a fish hot pot, it must be because it has a culinary genius at the helm. Now that we've replicated the fish hot pot, we can create other novel dishes in the future. If we keep imitating, the restaurant will eventually be overshadowed..."
His analysis was deliberate and logically clear.
Wan Suizhou nodded repeatedly, then laughed from time to time: "Your analysis is good, but there's one thing you've guessed wrong..."
"What?"
Wan Suizhou stroked his beard and pointed with a hint of pride.
"The one researching these dishes isn't one of the experts from our Wan family, but rather someone from Taiwan!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Lan's eyes widened immediately.
Although he knew that Wanwan was a very special little girl, he never expected her to be so smart.
It's amazing that someone so young could come up with such novel and delicious dishes.
This really impressed him.
Seeing everyone staring at her, Wanwan proudly puffed out her little belly, put her hands on her hips, and said rather smugly:
"Wanwan not only knows about fish hot pot, but she also knows about many other dishes!"
"puff……"
Lin Lan couldn't help but laugh and gently tapped Baili Wanwan's head with the handle of her fan:
"Then tell me, what other dishes do you know?"
Baili Wanwan hadn't been on guard against Lin Lan to begin with, so she simply tilted her head and recalled for a moment before truthfully saying:
"There's a type of soft fish that's delicious when grilled!"
As he spoke, his eyes even started to light up!
"Soft fish?"
Lin Lan was completely bewildered by what was being said and looked to Wan Suizhou for help, only to find that the other man was also looking confused.
"And shrimp! They're delicious stir-fried with other white things!"
"And there are those with lots of claws and blue shells!"
She rattled off more than ten dishes, but didn't explain the names of any of them clearly.
Lin Lan was both annoyed and amused by what she said, but the baby was so cute that he couldn't bear to scold her at all.
"Wanwan, stop for a moment. Can we wait until Grandpa and Young Master Lin finalize the cooperation details first?"
Wan Suizhou also felt a bit of a headache from what they were saying.
So, after letting Baili Wanwan have some peace and quiet, she and Lin Lan finalized the profit sharing and other details of the collaboration. The agreement was drafted in black and white and signed, thus finalizing the cooperation between the two families.
Afterwards, Lin Lan and Wan Suizhou personally led Baili Wanwan to the market.
I looked left and right, browsing through all the seafood, fruit and vegetable, and even pastry vendors.
Originally, Baili Wanwan didn't know the names of those ingredients, but she could recognize them.
So when he saw the actual object, he pointed it out to Lin Lan.
Young Master Lin's purse, which had been bulging, became empty. By the time he reached the end of the street, the servant behind him was carrying a full load of things.
He was about to go back when he saw Baili Wanwan standing there, her big, dark eyes staring intently at a stall.
He looked up and saw that it was a pastry stall.
"Wanwan wants to eat?"
He bent down and asked gently, and Baili Wanwan immediately nodded.
When she looked back at him, her eyes seemed to hold a thousand stars. Even though Lin Lan knew that the stars in her eyes were yearning, she still couldn't help but feel a strange emotion welling up inside her.
I was absolutely charmed by how cute it was.
"You little glutton."
Lin Lan smiled, took Baili Wanwan's hand, and walked towards the pastry stall.
He picked out the osmanthus cake that Baili Wanwan had been eyeing, and then randomly selected a few kinds of mung bean cake and water chestnut cake. He wrapped them in oil paper and stuffed them into Baili Wanwan's arms.
"Eat."
Baili Wanwan nodded immediately, as if pounding garlic.
With a smile, he opened the oil paper package, and a sweet, cloying aroma wafted out.
The pastry-making skills were certainly not top-notch, but it was a novel experience for Baili Wanwan, who had never left the village.
I couldn't wait to pick up a piece and put it in my mouth. A sweet flavor melted inside. I couldn't help but squint my eyes in bliss.
"You like to eat these?"
As soon as Lin Lan finished asking the question, Baili Wanwan nodded eagerly.
It looks like a chick pecking at rice.
"Next time I'll bring you some pastries from the manor. They were made by a chef that my grandfather hired at a high price. They're even better than these."
The gentle, refined young man spoke, his eyes softly wiping away the crumbs of pastry from Baili Wanwan's lips. He didn't seem to mind at all that the three-year-old girl had ended up looking like a little kitten after eating so much.
It's a bit of a pity that this adorable little doll, who looks like she stepped out of a painting, isn't actually his biological sister.
Otherwise, he would surely have given her all the treasures and beautiful things in the world.
Although he is now prepared to do so.
