Chapter 323: Chapter 323: The Opening Day of Ma Xiaonan (3)_1

Lin Yuan gave a bitter smile, staring intently at Jin Yuyu with a laugh full of profound meaning, "What if the master pastry chef in my shop secretly defected to another store? Then wouldn’t I fail to protect even my own secrets?"

Jin Yuyu was taken aback and slowly savored Lin Yuan’s words as if she was recounting her own sorrows and also reminding herself of something.

"Boss Lin’s words are very true, and such a person has indeed appeared in my shop," Jin Yuyu had already treated Lin Yuan as her friend. Since Lin Yuan kindly reminded her, Jin Yuyu did not hesitate to inform her that she had noticed this matter, "but as always, evidence is needed for everything. I... you understand."

Lin Yuan nodded with a smile, understanding.

While they were talking, Lian’er and Qinger had settled their bill with Meng Liangdong, and Mo Sanniang and Fifth Sister Bai had helped them package the pastries. Since they had purchased the shop’s unique pastries, the packaging used was the specially made wooden boxes from the shop.

The boxes were round with lids, and the lids were carved with the same typefaces as the Rice Flower Fragrance brand logo. This was another unique feature of their shop.

Jin Yuyu glanced at the wooden box Lian’er was carrying and couldn’t help but praise it once more.

Seeing that they had only purchased some pastries, Lin Yuan let Liuzi pack a batch of newly-made Osmanthus Cake for Jin Yuyu. She also packed two portions of spicy strips to give to Lian’er and Qinger, before warmly seeing them off.

Jin Yuyu had never been accustomed to eating food outside, and after getting into the carriage, she casually placed the Osmanthus Cake aside, even though the fragrance of the cake was quite appealing.

However, Lian’er and Qinger, unable to resist the tempting and spicy flavor of the strips, started to nibble on one as soon as they stepped outside.

This casual tasting troubled them not at all. Not to mention Lian’er; even the usually composed Qinger couldn’t help but light up her eyes. Ignoring the pastry boxes, they both eagerly grabbed another strip and started to eat it.

"Miss, um, these spicy strips are really tasty, do you want to try some?" Lian’er asked while chewing the spicy strip in her mouth, speaking to Jin Yuyu inside the carriage.

Although they knew about Jin Yuyu’s habit of not eating in public, they didn’t expect a simple pack of spicy strips would lead them to break the rule. Jin Yuyu frowned and shook her head, "No need, you eat."

After speaking, she didn’t forget to remind them, "Eating in front of a crowd is unseemly. Put them away quickly and let’s go to the vinegar workshop."

Lian’er and Qinger exchanged glances and stuck out their tongues.

Reluctantly, Qinger placed the remaining spicy strips and pasty box together on the carriage and sneakily licked her fingers.

Lian’er’s eyes spun, and taking advantage of the moment when her mistress wasn’t looking, she wrapped the strips in a handkerchief and stuffed them into her belt. She then opened her mouth and quickly sneaked out another strip, secretly eating it while they walked.

Jin Yuyu was rather tired, and was resting inside the carriage, but the aroma drifting in from the carriage shaft prevented her from falling asleep.

Seeing Qinger’s spicy strips there, she couldn’t resist opening them gently. After hesitating for a while, she delicately picked out the smallest strip with her fingertips and placed it in her mouth.

Wow, delicious!

Taking advantage of Qinger’s ignorance, Jin Yuyu snatched another strip, then another, until the carriage arrived at Jin Ji Vinegar Workshop.

"Miss, we’re here," Qinger helped Jin Yuyu down from the carriage. When she turned to retrieve her own spicy strips, she scratched her head in confusion. Huh, why are there so many missing?

Jin Yuyu, feeling slightly guilty, walked briskly toward the vinegar workshop, all the while secretly smacking her lips together.
