Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 1326 - 183, Supplementary Food (Second Update)

Speaking of which, Han Huijuan’s voice quivered a little, but then she became excited again, "You might think Maternal Aunt Bai snatched many of my properties and shops, but my mother entrusted her father to secretly buy me two shops and a piece of land, and even gave me the deeds to hide away. Over the years, all this silver has been deposited in the city’s bank, all under my name."

Han Huijuan spoke with great enthusiasm, while Lin Yuan listened in astonishment, having thought she saved a weakling, only to find she had picked up a treasure, a treasure amply endowed with silver at that.

Two shops and a piece of land, the rental income alone over so many years must have amounted to quite a lot!

Plus the silver her mother left her before she died, she must have at least a thousand taels by now! ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"That silver of yours, Lady Bai didn’t take it away, did she?" This was Lin Yuan’s greatest concern.

Han Huijuan squeezed her eyes into a smile, "You might think I’m adorned with only this hairpin my mother left me, but actually all my jewelry and silver are hidden in that dilapidated courtyard where I live. That courtyard is said to have belonged to one of my grandfather’s Little Concubines and later fell into disuse; when I was a child, there was a mulberry tree there, and I often went to that courtyard to pick mulberries. Maternal Aunt Bai thought I was just playful and never cared, of course, she didn’t know I hid all the silver there."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but laugh. Han Huijuan was indeed not as she appeared to be, she indeed had a clever streak.

Now with the shops and silver ready, Lin Yuan discarded the idea of proposing a joint venture. However, there was still one important matter; Han Huijuan’s shops and silver were all hidden and could not be exposed, because her wings were not yet strong enough; if Lady Bai or Han Taining were to find out, they would surely scheme to snatch them away.

This was also what Han Huijuan had always worried about, which was why she hadn’t thought about running them on her own.

Hearing that Han Huijuan wanted her help in recommending someone, the first person Lin Yuan thought of was the woman with a birthmark on her face, whose skills, needless to say, were excellent and, more importantly, her character was exceptionally good.

No sooner said than done, Lin Yuan discussed this woman’s situation with Han Huijuan, who indeed agreed enthusiastically. Currently, all of Han Huijuan’s actions were controlled and monitored by Lady Bai, so she couldn’t go meet the woman herself.

Thus, Lin Yuan made her own house the secret meeting place for the two, and any future matters for discussion would be held there in the Lin Mansion.

Lady Bai, eager to ingratiate her son with Lin Yuan’s family, naturally wished Han Huijuan to associate more with Lin Yuan.

After sending Han Huijuan away, Lin Yuan had Yin Xing go to Chang Street ahead of time to sound out the woman’s intentions. It was said that ever since the birthmark on her face disappeared, her husband cherished her even more, forbidding her from going out to sell at the market.

However, the woman loved making jewelry and was bored stiff at home. After discussing it with her husband, she planned to set up a small stall. Lin Yuan’s timing in seeking a partnership was impeccable.

The woman agreed immediately, arranged to meet Han Huijuan at Lin Mansion the next day, and Yin Xing returned home beaming with joy.

With plenty of time before lunch, Lin Yuan returned to her room to work on the supplementary food recipes, which included various beautiful steamed buns and some soup recipes. Fearing that the kitchen ladies might not do well, she wrote the recipes in great detail, and it took her a full hour to complete the six recipes.

"Send this to the kitchen for the Kitchen Ladies to study, let them make these for Xiao Yongyan," Lin said as she handed the recipes to Shui Xian and stretched her limbs with a yawn.

Shui Xian glanced at the recipes and couldn’t help but praise, "Miss, you wrote these recipes so well, there are sixteen steps just for making a bun, with pictures too! Wow, these buns look so nice, there are little flowers, little chickens, and little pigs! Haha, they’re so cute!"

Lin Yuan burst into laughter, "Silly girl, are you praising me or making fun of me? There’s no little pig, that’s clearly a little dog!"

Shui Xian grinned sheepishly, but couldn’t help laughing again as she looked down at the recipes, "Miss, this, this looks just like a little pig! Haha, look at these big ears, and that big nostril!"

Lin Yuan’s cheeks reddened, and she snatched the recipes, folding them herself to take to the kitchen, "You tease me, hmph, when these delicious foods are made, you’re not allowed any!"
