Chapter 298 Wu Yao Arrives
When Afu brought Zhang Yun to the workshop, Wen Luozhi and Wen Zixun were already waiting.
After explaining some important points, Wen Luozhi handed a manual to Afu, saying, "Brother Afu, this contains some important points about workshop operations and management regulations."
"Take a look at it when you have some free time."
Afu solemnly accepted it, unsure of what to say to the brother and sister.
After walking around the village, Wen Luozhi realized that there was nothing left to explain.
After going to the prefectural city to find the teacher mentioned by the wine shop owner for Wen Zijin, and arranging the restaurant's business, she will return to work on the greenhouse vegetable project.
Xie He was furious when three more were leaving after only one or two days of their departure.
"Your family members are all... really..."
"Ugh!"
All her words ultimately boiled down to a sigh: her child had grown up and was ready to fly higher and farther.
It's no longer appropriate to keep it by my side.
Wen Luozhi ultimately brought Jiang Shuqian along; now that Wen Zian wasn't around, she probably wouldn't go out on her own.
Having only been inside for a short time, they were still somewhat reserved, except for Wen Zi'an and Jiang Shuqian, who were closest to Wen Luozhi.
Jiang Wan, who was bored and heavily pregnant, insisted on going along, saying she wanted to go to different places to relax.
Jun Qianzi had already taught Xia Yunshu how to give Xia Yunsheng acupuncture, so the two sisters naturally went to the prefectural city as well.
With the house suddenly feeling mostly empty, even Xie He and Wen Muchuan found it strange.
Helian Zhiyan followed along, and the little tiger stared longingly in the direction the carriage had gone.
Mo Li took his hand and led him to the study. "We still have lessons to prepare; the teacher will be asking us questions tomorrow."
Little Tiger nodded his head vigorously, opened the book, and began to read it intently.
Mo Li's cinnabar amulet on her chest flashed slightly. At that moment, Wu Yao, who was stepping into the territory of Shanquan Town, hurriedly threw away the straw doll in her hand.
Who on earth is this person?!
She had tried this method countless times, following the instructions, and each time it was broken!
I wonder what kind of expert that old man found for that brat to follow.
Otherwise, she probably would have already stolen Mo Li's soul, and might already be on her way back to Langhuai Kingdom.
She rubbed her rumbling stomach, and a sweet scent wafted to her nose. She followed the scent.
A long queue had already formed outside the Dessert House, with everyone craning their necks to see how many egg tarts were left for the day and if they could get a turn to buy some.
Wu Yao noticed a large empty space at the window and walked straight over to it.
Li Qiao'er, who was originally in first place, was immediately blocked by her.
"Hey! Why are you cutting in line!"
"Get out of my way!"
She forcefully pulled at the woman in front of her who was dressed in all black and wearing a straw hat.
Despite being pulled forcefully, Wu Yao did not budge and turned around.
Beneath the straw hat, his once clear black and white pupils suddenly turned completely black, appearing hollow.
She blew gently, and one corner of the straw hat in front of her was lifted.
Li Qiao'er was just trying to see if this strange person was male or female when she suddenly saw her completely black pupils and screamed in fright, "Ah! A ghost!"
She stopped queuing and hurriedly lifted her skirt to leave the line and rush outside.
Rear
Only after she left did Wu Yao's pupils return to normal, and the people behind her looked ahead curiously, not knowing what had happened.
Wu Yao lifted a corner of her bamboo hat and smiled slightly at them, "Gentlemen, I've just arrived and I'm starving. Could you please make way for me?"
People in line wouldn't mind anything else, but not egg tarts!
"Young lady, why don't you buy something else to soothe your stomach? We've been in line for ages!"
"Yes! Even I, an old man, come here very early in the morning."
An old man rubbed his slightly sore legs; he was waiting to buy egg tarts to make his great-grandson happy.
The aroma wafted out, and Wu Yao ignored what they were saying and reached her hand toward the window.
Huh? This? She saw that round thing right in front of her, so why couldn't she reach it?
The transparent glass completely blocked her hands, and the person in line behind her said again, "Get in line! Behave yourself!"
Wu Yao clenched her fists, about to lash out, when Da Ya appeared carrying a large winnowing basket.
Behind her followed Sister Sun, who was carrying a large piece of matcha-flavored traditional cake.
Wu Yao's eyes brightened again, and she moved to Sun Sanjie's window. "What is this thing?"
She pointed to something that looked soft and fluffy and asked.
Sun Sanjie thought she was a bit strange, but still smiled and introduced the new product to her.
Smelling the overpowering sweet fragrance, Wu Yao took a deep breath and said, "Wrap up all of this for me!"
"No! I want to eat here!"
When she came in, she saw a sign at the shop entrance saying that there was free sweet soup available today.
She doesn't have much money left, so she tries to save as much as she can.
Sun Sanjie opened her mouth slightly, wondering if this person could finish eating so much.
Thinking that everyone had worked hard to make this, she gently persuaded, "Sir, this is for many people to eat together."
Are you sure you want them all?
Wu Yao had already gotten impatient with the long queue, and now she was even more impatient. "Just take it when we tell you to! Why are you worrying about all that?"
Her attitude was extremely bad, but after seeing it so often, the three Sun sisters couldn't be bothered to argue with her.
She cut the cake into pieces and served it to her on a winnowing basket.
"Sir, this will cost ten taels of silver."
Sun Sanjie stood beside the table, spreading out her palms.
After taking a bite of the cake, Wu Yao's expression relaxed considerably.
She quickly stuffed the rest of the cake into her mouth, then rummaged in her sleeve and finally pulled out two coins.
She threw it on the table, picked up the cake, and started stuffing it into her mouth again.
Feeling a bit choked, she picked up the bamboo cup again and took a big gulp of the sweet and sour fruit tea inside.
Now she was in a better mood, and even when Sister Sun asked her for a tael less of silver, she didn't show any impatience.
Finally, she let out a long, satisfying burp, feeling a sense of unprecedented contentment in her stomach.
Sister Sun was also surprised; she had only sold less than half of the second piece she brought out!
This person actually finished the entire portion meant for the previous twenty people.
The people in line had almost finished buying their cakes, so this time Wu Yao didn't go to the egg tart stall but went to the cake stall instead.
"Wrap up the rest for me."
She took out the silver, and after Sister Sun packed it up, she gave her change.
As Wu Yao walked out of the shop, Sun Sanjie finally dared to speak, "This...didn't she get full after eating so much?"
Da Ya and Er Ya exchanged a glance and shook their heads.
They don't know if it will fill that person's stomach, but if they eat like this, they will definitely fill their stomachs.
Wu Yao wandered aimlessly down the street, curious about everything on the stalls on both sides.
Every now and then, they'd pick up this and take a look, or lift up that and touch it.
Feeling less full, she found a place to sit down.
Seeing that no one was around, she took out a strange rag doll from her bosom.
"You're my only child, so you'd better make me proud!"
Her pupils suddenly narrowed like a cat's, and she muttered, "The flow of energy is natural, day and night are born, souls and ghosts collide, come!"
The doll reacted slightly but remained lying on the ground. She repeated the words several times, but it only moved slightly.
