The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 825 - 823: Voices of Doubt

The business at Chu’s Restaurant remained lukewarm.

To avoid wastage, Xin Lin instructed Ma Jingtian and others to reduce the daily supply of buns from five hundred to one hundred, with fifty cabbage pork buns and fifty cabbage buns each. Unsold ones were given to nearby merchants.

This back and forth helped maintain good relations with the surrounding merchants.

The gang members who were detained were ordered by Xin Lin not to eat Spiritual Longevity Peach Buns. That very night, they reacted abnormally, causing a commotion in the room, clamoring for the buns.

Ma Jingtian went in to appease them and was almost bitten.

It was then that Ma Jingtian believed what Xin Lin had said earlier, that there was something wrong with the Spiritual Longevity Peach Buns from Taoyao Pavilion.

The two were detained for three days and given only clean water, gradually calming down.

This further confirmed to Xin Lin that the buns indeed contained opium ingredients.

The opium ingredient would typically be depleted in about three days.

However, with the aid of Jade Pure Spring or Wind Breath Roast Pork, the effect dissipated even faster.

Especially those around Xin Lin who often consumed Jade Pure Spring and some spiritual materials experienced adverse reactions to the opium, much like Overlord Egg and Chu Beiqing, experiencing vomiting and diarrhea. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Xin Lin was the only exception; she later realized it was likely related to the Fu Tian Pill within her.

With this realization, Xin Lin had a faint plan in mind.

As the Emperor Longteng’s birthday banquet approached, Master Chen summoned Xin Lin to the Spirit Food Association.

"In two days, it will be the Emperor’s birthday banquet. At that time, a banquet will be held outside the palace in Purple Cloud City, a feast for the people, coinciding with the one in the palace, celebrating for seven days and nights. I am in charge of leading the Spiritual Delicacy Masters and the main dishes. You, as the assistant chef, are responsible for pastries and cold dishes. Have you prepared the menu? I need to review it one by one."

Master Chen, seeing Xin Lin, was full of pride, assuming the stance of a head chef.

"I haven’t prepared any menu."

Xin Lin shrugged.

She only knew a few spiritual delicacies, and there were not many pastries classified as such.

Even Emperor Longteng said that she could make some of the pastries she was good at, and the Ultimate Lingxiu Buns were fine too.

She planned to use everything she knew, including roast sweet potatoes.

As for the materials, she had prepared quite a lot.

At this moment, her Tuling hairpin still had several hundred pounds of cabbage and sweet potatoes, lotus roots, and more in stock.

However, the prospect of a seven-day and seven-night flowing banquet caught Xin Lin off guard, requiring her to prepare additional materials.

When Xin Lin mentioned this, Master Chen became visibly agitated, blowing his beard and glaring.

"Are you kidding? No menu? You can’t be planning to serve those disgraceful buns of yours to guests from all over, can you? Let me tell you, Xin Lin, while you might be willing to lose face, the Emperor cannot afford such disgrace!"

With so many guests at this birthday banquet, this Xin is being too frivolous.

The Emperor must have listened to slander to let her take charge as the head chef.

"I think my buns are quite good, no problem with them. Master Chen, we’re both appointed head chefs by the Emperor, you have no right to boss me around."

Xin Lin remained indifferent.

"If he doesn’t have the right, surely I, the Prince, do."

As Xin Lin finished speaking, Long Qingchen and Young Master Tu walked in, accompanied by Yang Su, Chef Yang.
