Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 2024: Boring Days of Pregnancy (Part 3)
In the past, she would always get up early before dawn to busy herself with various store tasks, but now, she finds it difficult even to open her eyes, let alone get out of bed.
She would sleep until mid-morning, and if it werenโt for her growling stomach, Lin Yuan probably wouldnโt have gotten out of bed at all. ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ซ๐ฃ๐ธ๐ซ๐ฎ๐.๐๐๐ถ
Xia Zheng lay speechlessly at the bedside, propping his chin up with both hands, staring intently at the sleeping woman, and couldnโt help but let out a light sigh, "Pregnant women really just eat and sleep to grow!"
Smack!
A big slap unexpectedly landed on his cheek, and Xia Zheng pouted and covered his face in grievance.
Didnโt they say pregnant women sleep very deeply? Why did Lin Yuan manage to hit him right after he spoke barely a sentence?
Too lazy to open her eyes, Lin Yuan slightly pursed her lips and then turned over, continuing to sleep some more.
Indeed, she slept deeply, but she couldnโt withstand Xia Zhengโs intense gaze staring at her!
She had just woken up and heard such a comment, it made her furious!
What does he mean by โeat and sleep to growโ? Was he intentionally trying to say she was like a pig?
Hmph, although her current lifestyle is somewhat like the chubby and pink little piggy in a pigsty, he shouldnโt say this right in front of her!
With the pregnancy, Lin Yuanโs days were quite pampered, she didnโt have to worry about the store, and everyone at home was constantly caring for her, asking after her every day, leaving her with no concerns at all.
This lifestyle was indeed comfortable, but after a while, it became quite boring.
Especially for someone like Lin Yuan, who couldnโt stay idle, it was utterly boring.
They say the first three months of pregnancy are the most fragile, and during these months, Lin Yuan stayed in the General Mansion, unable to go anywhere, her only fun being a visit to Tian Huiโs courtyard to see her little son.
However, thereโs a saying that pregnant women cannot hold small children because children love to move around and might accidentally kick or bump into the pregnant woman.
Every time she went to see Brother Wang, Tian Hui would carefully keep him from touching her, making the little child a bit unsure of himself.
Lin Yuan found it dull and thus visited even less.
Unable to go outside, with nothing to do in the mansion, Lin Yuan grew extremely bored and began pondering the future development of her several stores.
The business at Dong Tian was already thriving, and under Lin Yuanโs influence, Gao Xuan and the other chefs started researching new dishes themselves, some of which even Lin Yuan found innovative and delicious.
Idle Tea Houseโs business had Madam Ming watching over it, so Lin Yuan didnโt have to worry about it.
Madam Mingโs previous husbandโs family was in the tea business, making her more experienced than Lin Yuan in this aspect.
Currently, the only thing Lin Yuan needed to worry about was the newly opened Chanyin Pavilion.
Chanyin Pavilionโs name had ranked in the top five in the Capital city, but this reputation was earned through innovative storytelling, and if they switched to traditional plays like other theatres, they surely wouldnโt have the advantage.
Whatโs more troubling is the "Journey to the West" stories have become overly popular, with other tea houses already starting to imitate them and follow the trend, not to mention the plays themselves.
Those who are capable can plagiarize the "Three Fights with the White Bone Demon" story after hearing it just once; if they donโt come up with better, more interesting plays, their spot in the top five might soon be lost.
Thinking of this made Lin Yuanโs sense of crisis reach its peak; she canโt let any of her painstakingly established stores fall into decline.
Pressure creates motivation, and within a day, Lin Yuan wrote down all the stories sheโd heard in her past life.
Stories like The Butterfly Lovers and Record of the Western Chamber, and even the tale of Changโe flying to the moon were listed by her.
Of course, she only wrote down the names, as she couldnโt clearly remember the detailed content of the stories anymore.
"Ah, indeed, pregnancy makes you forgetful for three years! Why canโt I remember which story Xiang Jun is from?"
Furiously poking her own forehead with a brush, Lin Yuan was so frustrated she nearly screamed. The storyโs name was on the tip of her tongue, yet when she needed it, she couldnโt remember; this feeling was truly annoying!
"Miss, Miss Yan is here!"
