Then, as she passed Jin Shuo, Lin Yiran couldn't resist making a few sarcastic remarks: "How can our lives compare to yours? You don't know the hardships of life, you young master!" She said the last few words through gritted teeth.
Pshaw, who told you to call her dark-hearted?
Jin Shuo pointed incredulously at Lin Yiran, who was walking alone ahead: "Hey, Lin Yiran, are you actually mocking me?"
Then, without realizing it, she walked over to Zhou Ye and complained to him, "No, Zhou Ye, you be the judge! I kindly brought people here to save her, and not only is she ungrateful, she actually made sarcastic remarks about me! Isn't that going too far?! That's really going too far! Did she even consider my feelings? I'm her savior, and she... she actually said that to me? That's too much...!"
Zhou Ye glanced at him indifferently: "Lin Yiran has a dark heart? You're just naive, young master." As he spoke, he patted Jin Shuo's shoulder and gave him a disdainful smile before following Lin Yiran's steps.
Jin Shuo was so angry that he clenched his fist and stomped his foot hard on the spot!
Seriously, is he the only idiot in the world?
Then he turned to the brothers he had brought with him and asked, "Do you believe what they're saying? Is life in that orphanage really that dark?"
The other brothers wanted to nod, but after hesitating for a moment, they all shook their heads and said no.
Jin Shuo wasn't really stupid; how could he not see his brothers' hesitation? So he knew what was going on right then and there, and immediately felt annoyed. He shouldn't have said that about Lin Yiran.
Thinking about the nearly obsolete Star Brain she had, he realized that he had been living too happily all along. Not only that, he also said that Lin Yiran was stingy.
After thinking it through, Jin Shuo immediately ran to Lin Yiran and apologized: "I'm sorry, I really didn't know about these things. I even misunderstood you and said you were stingy..."
Lin Yiran was listening intently. Everything was normal until the end... stingy?
He said he was stingy?
Lin Yiran's face fell again; she had never seen herself so eager to be scolded.
Jin Shuo realized he had said the wrong thing and immediately reacted: "No, no, that's not what I meant. I did say that, but I said it without knowing the truth..."
Damn it, the more I explain, the worse it gets.
In the end, he could only dejectedly apologize to Lin Yiran: "I'm sorry."
Lin Yiran: "It's okay, hurry up, I'll take you to try my newly brewed wine, I guarantee you'll like it."
They arrived at the new store in less than half an hour. When they left, Jin Shuo had already had someone install all the kitchenware, tables, and chairs. Lin Yiran then showed off her skills and made a huge Manchu Han Imperial Feast. When she laid it out, Jin Shuo was stunned, biting his chopsticks.
"Damn, the dishes you made are even more luxurious than the state banquets I've attended before!"
Then, without waiting for a moment, he asked, "Can we start eating now?"
He was already itching to get his hands on the food while Lin Yiran was cooking, but before he could even steal a bite, Zhou Ye knocked his chopsticks away. He hurriedly got a new pair of chopsticks and followed Lin Yiran around, helping her as soon as possible, just so he could have a bite to eat.
Lin Yiran: Not yet, let's try this first.
Then he took out the wine he had just made.
"I plan to sell this wine in our newly opened store. I haven't decided on a price yet. You guys can try it and see how much you think is appropriate. We also need to set prices for these dishes."
After portioning it into glasses, Jin Shuo couldn't wait to take a sip.
Then, frowning, he uttered a soft "Hmm?"
"This taste is... a very refreshing aroma, sweet, not spicy enough, but you girls should really like it," Jin Shuo put down his glass and said, "If it's for men, they prefer a spicier drink, especially since we have a large number of interstellar mercenaries, they all love spicy drinks. Do you have any spicy drinks?"
Lin Yiran: "Yes, but I'm not ready yet. I plan to order other wines first to use, and then launch our own wine after I've mastered the winemaking techniques."
Jin Shuo: "Sure, you can handle it. If you need any factories or manpower later, come to me. I have a deeper foundation than you, so it will be easier for me to do this business."
Lin Yiran poured him a drink and said, "Thank you then."
Then Jin Shuo asked, "Have you decided on a name for the shop yet? We can't keep calling it 'Yiran Food City,' can we? That name might be okay for a small shop, but if a restaurant has a name like that, customers won't come in; they'll think it's low-class."
Lin Yiran: "I know, I've already chosen a name, it's 'Shi Baiwei' (食百味). We're going to open a chain restaurant in the future, so the name has to be high-end."
"A hundred flavors? That's a good name," Zhou Ye said, his hands moving without hesitation. To be honest, these dishes were all really delicious.
"Stop talking, come and try these dishes," Lin Yiran urged.
Upon hearing this, Jin Shuo picked up a dark yellow, blocky object placed in front of him. He couldn't tell what it was made of, and found that it was soft and sticky, making it impossible to pick up.
He tried again, but still couldn't pick it up, so he started to struggle with the plate of food.
Lin Yiran found his expression amusing and handed him a spoon to cover it up. "This is called Mapo Tofu. It's made from soybeans and is very soft. It's easier to eat with a spoon." It was indeed a bit difficult for a strong man like him to eat this. If he used even a little too much force, the tofu would crumble.
He obediently took a spoonful and ate it, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
"If this dish were in the First Star System, it would easily sell for five hundred star coins!"
Lin Yiran: "Then let's set the price at one hundred star coins. We are in the Ninth Star System, so the prices in the First Star System are definitely not comparable. I think one hundred star coins is a little expensive."
Jin Shuo: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive. One hundred star coins is really not expensive. You researched all the recipes yourself, and the dishes don't have any berserk energy. The price can't be any lower. If it's any lower, you'll really lose money. I even think that the dishes in your little shop are all sold at a loss."
Lin Yiran: "That's not the case."
Jin Shuo wanted another spoonful of Mapo Tofu, but looking at the more than twenty dishes on the table, he was afraid that he would be full after eating just one, so he simply tried a bite of each one so that he could eat everything.
Then his chopsticks reached for the fish head with its mouth wide open, and just as he was about to pick it up and eat it, Lin Yiran used serving chopsticks to put a piece of fish body into his bowl.
He further explained, "The fish head is just for show; it doesn't taste very good. Eat this; this is the fish body."
