The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 909 - 907: Another Wave of Trouble
After leaving Qingtian Academy, Xin Lin first headed to Chu’s Restaurant.
Today, Ma Jingtian arranged for the owner of the coffin shop to come over to discuss the transfer of the shop.
The discussion went smoothly, and Xin Lin finally spent the price of thirty thousand taels to transfer the shop from the coffin shop owner, Boss Ye.
While signing the contract, Xin Lin casually chatted for a bit.
"Boss Ye, I noticed your business is doing well, why did you suddenly think of transferring?"
"Master Xin, you’re not aware of this, but I had no choice. My unfilial son learned all the bad habits, indulging in eating, drinking, women, and gambling. He got into a conflict at De Yue Building and injured someone, and now we have to compensate tens of thousands of silver. We’re just an honest family, where could we find that much money? Originally, Master Chen from De Yue Building said he would buy my shop, but who knew he’d change his mind at the last minute? The agreed fifty thousand taels for the transfer was called off."
Boss Ye appeared quite dejected as he spoke.
Since the reopening of Chu’s Restaurant next door, the popularity of this street has been driven up.
His coffin shop also saw better business, but then this incident occurred.
Xin Lin listened and felt a stir in her heart.
There is something fishy about this.
Getting into a fight at De Yue Building resulting in injury, and it happened to affect the coffin shop owner?
It goes without saying, this must be a scheme designed by Master Chen.
Master Chen has always regarded Chu’s Restaurant as a thorn in his side, and Xin Lin stole the limelight from him at the banquet.
To deal with Chu’s Restaurant, plotting to acquire the coffin shop was very normal.
But why did the agreed acquisition suddenly change?
Xin Lin felt quite puzzled.
Because of Master Chen’s sudden change of plans, the coffin shop owner couldn’t find a new buyer quickly and had to sell the coffin shop to Chu’s Restaurant. Thirty thousand silver taels was already the base price.
After signing the contract, Xin Lin asked Ma Jingtian to take some brothers to tidy up the coffin shop.
As for Chu’s Restaurant, she planned to expand after the banquet ends, selling snacks like sugar lotus root, Ultimate Lingxiu Buns, and roasted sweet potatoes. Once her father recovers, she will think of some methods to hire a Spiritual Delicacy Master to help manage Chu’s Restaurant daily.
Otherwise, Xin Lin wouldn’t be able to juggle the Spiritual Food Restaurant and academic responsibilities at Qingtian Academy all at once.
After seeing off Boss Ye, Xin Lin arrived at Fenglin Inn.
President Mu and his granddaughter, Mu Jin, were staying in a private room here.
"Young girl, you finally came, my granddaughter has been talking about wanting to eat your sugar lotus root."
Hearing that Xin Lin came to find him, President Mu smiled warmly, welcoming Xin Lin into the room. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
"President Mu, I brought some sugar lotus root and candy gourd for you."
After Xin Lin finished speaking, she presented a small food box.
The young girl named Mu Jin saw the food box, her eyes lit up, and she quickly ran to Xin Lin’s side. After hesitating for a moment, she couldn’t resist the temptation of delicious food and accepted the food box.
When she opened the food box, it was divided into two compartments.
In the upper compartment were four plates of sugar lotus root, wrapped in golden honey with tender lotus root segments stuffed with translucent glutinous rice.
In the lower compartment, there were several strings of candy gourd wrapped in oil paper.
The reddish candy gourds were covered with a thin layer of icing, giving off a sweet and sour aroma without even tasting them.
The items were freshly made and delicious.
Mu Jin couldn’t help but swallow secretly.
"You better not be here to bribe my grandpa. I won’t fall for it."
She said as she handed the food box back.
