Chapter 157: Chapter 157 Visiting the Mansion: Lin the Big Bluffer (1)_1 Chapter 157: Chapter 157 Visiting the Mansion: Lin the Big Bluffer (1)_1 Several people took the Fuman Building’s carriage and headed east.

Although Lin Yuan had told Lao Fan to find a quieter place, it was still within Zhuma Town City, and such a place wasn’t easy to find.

However, to their surprise, the residence of Xia Zheng was really nice.

Even though they only traveled less than a quarter of an hour, there were already far fewer people here.

There were fewer people, but the houses were not dilapidated; it wasn’t a slum area of the town.

It was clear that Xia Zheng had put in quite the effort.

Lin Yuan sneaked a peek at Xia Zheng, who was playing the finger-touching game with Xiao Linshuang.

She had taught this game to her little sister, and now seeing the two of them enjoying themselves, she couldn’t help but curve the corners of her mouth upwards.

“Young Master, Miss Lin, we have arrived,” Liuzi announced as he stopped the carriage and lifted the curtain.

It had to be said, Xia Zheng’s taste was really excellent.

Despite the unimposing exterior of the residence, the interior was quite nice.

There were two spacious and bright storefront rooms, with many tables and chairs left there, about eighty percent new.

Lin Yuan tapped them and was very satisfied with their sturdiness.

In the backyard, there were four wing rooms and two storage rooms.

Lin Yuan wandered around, considering how to use the space.

The two storage rooms could be used for work: one for grinding soy milk and one for making tofu.

As for the two storefronts, they would be perfect for cooling the tofu, as they were clean and well-ventilated.

However, if they were going to make tofu here, then two large stoves would need to be installed in the storage rooms.

She measured the dimensions of the rooms carefully with her steps.

It would be a bit cramped to make a stove with two burners, as space would still be needed for the workers to operate, so she decided to make one with three burners and place it in the middle of the room.

That way, they could stoke the fire on one side and cook the soy milk on the other.

Of the four wing rooms, the two larger ones would be for the workers to live in.

The other two rooms would be divided so that one would serve as both an office and bedroom for the steward, and the other she would reserve for herself.

Although she didn’t intend to stay here long to manage the tofu shop, it was good to have a room for herself, so when her parents regained their health, they could come to the town for a visit and have a place to rest.

Besides the rooms Xia Zheng had previously mentioned to her, there were two small rooms that could serve as storage for soybeans, rice vinegar, and such, which was very good.

After planning out these details, Lin Yuan finally felt at ease to have a good look around the courtyard.

Xia Zheng was pointing around a lush pomegranate tree with Lin Wei and Xiao Linshuang, and she could faintly hear Xiao Linshuang’s smacking, drooling sounds.

It was the season when pomegranates ripen, and unexpectedly, buying a residence came with the bonus of sweet, ripe pomegranates.

Lin Yuan in her previous life had loved pomegranates, and now she too couldn’t help but drool.

However, it was evident that this pomegranate tree was not very fruitful, with only about a dozen fruits hanging from the large tree, each only the size of a fist.

With Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, the fruits had not yet cracked open.

“Pomegranate?

May I try one?” As Lin Yuan approached, she heard Xiao Linshuang’s request clearly.

Sure enough, the little foodie couldn’t resist.

Since the property was purchased by Xia Zheng as a gift for Lin Yuan, the pomegranate tree naturally belonged to her.

However, Xia Zheng was still holding a grudge over the game they played on the way here where the little one beat him.

With his hands crossed over his chest and his chin upturned, he had a smug look as if saying, if you beg me, I might pick one for you.

Seeing Xiao Linshuang unable to reach the fruits, yet eagerly longing for a pomegranate, Lin Yuan couldn’t bear it.

She glared fiercely at Xia Zheng, who was still smirking, and reached out to pluck a pomegranate.

Although she wasn’t very tall and couldn’t reach the better fruits higher up.
