Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Tsk, you have to believe us! This cold cake is the same as the one at Ruyi Pavillion, it’s different from the other roadside stalls!”
“It is! Speaking of which, the young lady who sells cold cakes even has the same surname as you! She’s beautiful and very warm! She was the one who made the cold cakes!” Another scholar added.
“Besides, I heard that she is also the one who supplies the cold cakes to Ruyi Restaurant, she is very capable. I heard that she’s going to open a shop soon!” The third scholar said.
Lin Yuanshan paused.
In the past two days, many people from the academy had been talking about the cold cakes.
After he heard about it, he also came to take a look.
But when he saw from afar that the person was Lin Xiaoyue and Aunt Wang, he quickly left.
…..
As a scholar who was going to take the exam next year, he didn’t want to have anything to do with someone who ran a roadside stall.
However, he did not expect that the girl had such a good reputation.
In the academy, some people even called her the “Cold Cake Beauty”.
His heart was filled with disdain.
That stupid girl, a beauty?
However, at the same time, he couldn’t help but have other thoughts in his mind.
Although the cold cakes that the silly girl sold were not expensive, many people bought them. She must have earned a lot of money from this.
His monthly allowance had been cut in half because of her, but now he was watching her earn money and live a comfortable life. What kind of logic was that?
He hadn’t even thought about how to deal with her yet and he was dragged here by his classmates. He even heard the news that she was going to open a shop.
Open a shop? Where?
Renting a shop, renovating, and so on would cost a lot of money.
That girl had just built a house, and it was said that she spent more than 300 taels of silver. She still had money?
Lin Yuanshan’s thoughts were in a mess when he was pulled to Lin Xiaoyue’s stall.
Seeing Lin Yuanshan appear, Aunt Wang was a little surprised.
They wanted to greet him, but Lin Yuanshan avoided their eyes, as if he did not want to acknowledge them.
He glanced at Lin Xiaoyue and saw that her expression was cold, so he did not say hello.
She turned around and continued to work.
“Ms. Lin, give us four bowls of cold cakes!” One of them said.
As he spoke, he took out some money from his pocket, counted 16 copper coins, and placed them on the table.
Lin Xiaoyue did not immediately take the money, nor did she cut the cold cakes. Instead, she looked at Lin Yuanshan.
Lin Yuanshan’s eyes darted around again, not daring to look at Lin Xiaoyue at all.
The three scholars felt that it was a little strange, but Lin Xiaoyue smiled and retracted her gaze.
“Wait a moment.”.
Then, she quickly counted the money. After confirming that it was correct, she cut the cold cakes.
He didn’t want others to know that he knew them, and neither did she.
Pretending not to know him saved him a lot of trouble.
At this time, the small table next to them was empty. The four of them took the cold cakes and sat down.
“It’s refreshing and delicious!” One of them said after taking a bite of the cold cake.
“Ms. Lin, when will you start renovating your shop?” Another asked Lin xiaoyue.
Lin Yuanshan was surprised by the texture of the cold cake, as he ate it.
Then, as he ate, he listened carefully to Lin Xiaoyue’s reply.
They were really going to open a restaurant, and they even named it Liu Shi’s Eatery.
Liu Shi? Hmph! How unfilial, she didn’t even want her own surname?
“We ll start work the day after tomorrow, and the construction period will be five days. We will be off for two days, then it’s open for business!” Lin Xiaoyue replied with a smile.
“Please come and support us then..”
