Lin Yuan stood excitedly to the side, watching everyone install the gate, which Xia Zheng had personally chosen.

It featured double doors, painted entirely red, with a lion’s head embedded in each door, the lion’s mouths each holding a large, round iron ring.

It looked both majestic and beautiful.

Looking at this gate, Lin Yuan suddenly remembered something she had heard a few days ago.

It was said that for some unknown reason, Master Magistrate Lichang had suddenly become brave and imposing, leading troops to wipe out the bandits hiding in the nearby mountains, leaving no bandit alive.

Thinking it over, Lin Yuan felt something was off, so she called Lin Yi to ask about it.

That’s when she found out the truth.

Lin Yi was still that cold, aloof figure: “What else could it be?

The second young master heard about you being ambushed by bandits and almost rushed back from Jiangnan overnight.

If it weren’t for Venerable Tong, cough cough, if it weren’t for Mr.

Laofan using dimethyltryptamine to incapacitate him for three days and nights, I’m afraid it would have been the second young master who wiped out those bandits.

Hmph, letting Lichang take all the credit is too generous.

He really got a bargain.”

While Lin Yi was resentful that Lichang had gotten off so easily, Lin Yuan couldn’t calm her own emotions.

Xia Zheng was far away in Jiangnan, yet he remained so concerned about her.

She had originally not planned to tell Xia Zheng about the incident, knowing that compared to the countless innocent victims of disasters in Jiangnan, her own harrowing but unharmed experience was nothing.

But what she hadn’t expected was that in Xia Zheng’s heart, she was more important than anyone else.

No wonder that after that day, the number of Flying Pigeon Letters from Xia Zheng had increased significantly, and moreover, they were all relayed by three pigeons in succession.

Initially, she had wondered if Xia Zheng had suddenly become less busy, devoting all his time to communicating with her.

Now she understood that the guy was scared, worried something would happen to her.

With this thought, a smile involuntarily curled at the corner of Lin Yuan’s mouth.

Counting the days, it had been almost half a month since he’d been away, and he should be returning soon.

She wondered if he could make it back for the opening day of Rice Flower Fragrance.

Although she would have liked to ask about Xia Zheng’s return date, she hesitated, afraid that he might abandon his responsibilities and sneak back.

Speaking of Rice Flower Fragrance, Lin Yuan was also incredibly happy.

Under Liuzi’s supervision, the renovation was progressing smoothly, and they had already found the most cost-effective suppliers for flour, fillings, and other necessities for the shop.

The various molds needed for making pastries had already been drawn up by Lin Yuan.

Lin Jiaxin took these designs and summoned his apprentice, Lin Changqing, to whom this glorious and challenging task was entrusted.

Although Lin Changqing had practiced with Lin Jiaxin for so long, this was his first time taking over the business.

Excited as he was, he naturally felt nervous.

However, luckily, Lin Yuan was picky but had a good temper.

After several revisions, the molds Lin Changqing brought back could be said to be close to perfect, without a single flaw.

As for the sign of Rice Flower Fragrance, naturally, they used the design that Lin Jiaxin had created earlier.

Initially, Lin Jiaxin wanted Lin Yuan to find a master craftsman to carve the sign, but Lin Yuan insisted on doing it herself, saying it would be meaningful only if they did it themselves for their own shop.

Unable to persuade his daughter, Lin Jiaxin had no choice but to get to work himself.

For other small items in the store, such as wooden boxes for pastries and pouches, Lin Yuan had also designed them one by one.

The wooden boxes were naturally left to Lin Changqing to make, while the pouches were given to Lady Liu and Lin Wei to produce.

As the saying goes, keep the benefits within the family; since they had to pay someone to make them, why not let their own family members earn that money?

Lin Yuan personally scrutinized these trivial matters, but the most important thing naturally couldn’t be taken lightly.

That was hiring the staff and pastry chefs for Rice Flower Fragrance.
