Chapter 1293: 171, Drawing Lots (Second Update)_3

The young girls had all gone to the elegant room on the second floor to change their clothes, and Lin Yuan whispered a few words to Yin Xing before sending her off to prepare what she needed.

Meanwhile, Shui Xian took two young lads to Lin Yuan’s own room to fetch several small bundles, which also contained clothes.

After setting down the bundles, Lin Yuan sent the two young lads to the backyard to find Xia Zheng.

The young lads looked around sneakily, but before they spotted anything unusual, Shui Xian hurriedly pushed them out.

"How did it go?" Xia Zheng asked eagerly as he saw the two young lads.

They shook their heads, indicating they hadn’t discovered anything.

Xia Zheng, disappointed, pouted and gave each lad a noogie, grunting, "Utterly useless! So dumb!"

The two young lads stuck out their tongues and chuckled as they ran off.

"Really, what on earth are they up to, making everything so secretive!" Annoyed, Xia Zheng scratched his head but ultimately did not dare provoke Lin Yuan’s ire and obediently stayed in the backyard waiting.

In the hall, the young girls had all changed into their outfits. Since everyone had roughly the same body type, and the clothes Lin Yuan designed were very cleverly made, some were a bit looser, but a belt tightened them right up.

"Hmm, not bad."

The outfits Lin Yuan prepared for the young girls were very practical. They consisted of a red satin jacket with an asymmetrical collar and a mid-length skirt of the same color, with pants underneath and soft, embroidered shoes on their feet—very efficient.

The taller women, on the other hand, wore a row of red embroidered cheongsams. Because it was a different era now, Lin Yuan did not design high slits for them but only up to the knee, and they wore pants underneath, although the pants inside were tighter than usual.

When these nine women appeared, everyone was captivated by their beautiful figures and elegance, and they looked especially pleasing as they walked.

Everyone thought they looked marvelous, but Lin Yuan felt slightly regretful. If only the pants under the cheongsam could be removed, and the slits made higher, preferably up to the thigh. It would look particularly appealing as the legs would be subtly revealed while walking.

Ah!

Sighing, Lin Yuan knew her idea was just a wishful thought; they definitely would not agree to remove the pants.

"Alright, everyone, come on over!"

Waving her hand, Lin Yuan placed the small box Yin Xing had prepared on the table and gathered the women around, "Do you see this box? Inside, I have prepared scraps of paper equal to the number of you. Each of you will draw one, and wherever you draw, that’s where you’ll go to work."

Everyone looked at the small box on the table, which had an opening at the top just large enough for a hand. So that was for drawing lots!

Waving the box, Lin Yuan continued, "I suppose everyone is clear now. Dong Tian has not only the usual dishes but also a few specialty booths. So, if you draw one of these booths, we will prepare special costumes for you and teach you specific etiquette."

Special costumes, unique etiquette? Everyone’s eyes brightened, filled with eagerness to draw their lots.

Lin Yuan smiled and stepped aside, watching the women line up one by one to draw their lots. Before long, the entire hall was filled with various exclamations.

"Eh? Second floor? What does that mean?"

"I got the second floor too; it must be a regular place, right?"

"Wow, I got the cuisine booth! Is that one of the specialty booths?"

"I got the Korean booth!"

"Me too, Korean booth!"

"Ah? I want to go to a specialty booth too!"

Hearing either excited, envious, or disappointed voices, Lin Yuan smiled slightly, amused by the childlike nature of these women.

After everyone had drawn, they seamlessly formed groups by designation—the ones who drew the second floor were together, those who drew cuisine booths were together, and those who drew Korean booths grouped together.

Looking at the excited faces of the women who had drawn specialty booths, Lin Yuan announced loudly, "Alright, everyone, there’s no need to feel smug because you drew a specialty booth or unhappy because you didn’t. In fact, everyone’s work is the same; it’s only the outfits and etiquette that differ. Oh, and by the way, we change every three months, so if you didn’t draw one this time, don’t be discouraged; we will have our chance."

"Of course, if you perform well, I might promote you to a steward of one of the booths, and stewards are paid more! So girls, do your best!"

"Yes!" The young girls were all energized and enthusiastic.

Lin Yuan nodded and had Shui Xian and Yin Xing distribute the costumes for the specialty booths to them. Then it was time to teach the corresponding etiquette.

It was all quite simple, a few straightforward gestures, though the harder ones might not be mastered by everyone. So, Lin Yuan did not demand perfection. Of course, she also taught the girls a few phrases in the specific languages of the booths, simple greetings like ’Hello,’ ’Please,’ ’Goodbye,’ which left the girls thrilled.
