The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 268 The Strange Jade Tablet
Chen Yuan's family had been in business for generations, so they naturally knew that it was almost impossible to recoup one's investment quickly in business.

It's normal for a slightly larger shop to take 3 to 5 years to recoup its costs. However, after partnering with the Wang family, they actually recovered their costs in just six months.

Simply incredible.

When they opened branches, many shops naturally imitated them, and even their steamed bun chefs were poached several times.

However, the steamed bun chefs were unable to utilize their skills at the new shop and were instead ostracized.

Over time, rumors even circulated that the steamed buns were made using evil magic.

Chen Yuan was a decisive person, and he immediately reported the matter to the authorities, demanding a confrontation with the person spreading the rumors.

They launched a major lawsuit, forcing the shop owner who spread the rumors to slink away.

This story spread throughout the business world, and the Wang Family Steamed Buns, owned by the Chen family, became famous and popular in various cities.

Chen Yuan fixed his model, opening only one store in each city and refusing to open any more.

"This is just a small token of my appreciation." Chen Yuan took out an envelope, placed it on the table, and pushed it toward Old Mrs. Wang.

Grandma Wang didn't even glance at it: "The agreement we made back then didn't mention these things, so there's no need to go through all these roundabouts. I'm too lazy to deal with it."

Hearing that Old Mrs. Wang's words were a bit impolite, Chen Yuan actually laughed.

This shows that he is treated as one of their own. If he were truly an outsider, their words would be polite yet distant.

"Alright, I won't say any more." Chen Yuan took back the envelope without saying what was inside, but the two of them knew perfectly well.

This money will not be used as a gift. Instead, we will buy some things for each member of the Wang family later, which will also fulfill our sentiments.

Chen Yuan's visit this time was not only to offer greetings, but also, of course, to request more well water.

The well in Wang's steamed bun shop has been completely permeated with concentrated gene repair agent by Xiao Ayu, causing the water to mutate and continuously modify the water that flows out.

But if Grandma Wang gives this water to Chen Yuan to dilute, the water from other wells won't have the same effect.

This is something that Grandma Wang tried in private.

Wang's Steamed Bun Shop's xiaolongbao (steamed buns) have detoxifying and beautifying effects, but the effects are very gentle and won't make people feel embarrassed. This is something that the people in the town can vaguely feel after eating the buns.

The Wangjia Xiaolongbao branches in other locations are not quite as good, but the difference in taste is not that big. If they haven't tried the original store, the branches are enough to tantalize their taste buds.

As the two were talking, Xiao Ayu suddenly ran over. Seeing that there were people in the hall, Xiao Ayu stopped in her tracks.

Grandma was talking about something, and little Ayu was waiting outside, being very sensible.

Grandma Wang noticed little Ayu and waved to her, saying, "Ayu, come here and meet Uncle Chen."

"Uncle Chen, what brings you here?" Little Ayu smiled happily when she saw it was Chen Yuan.

She remembered this uncle; he had given her good food before.

Upon opening his eyes and seeing Xiao Ayu, he took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to her.

Little Ayu saw Grandma Wang nod at her before she took it.

Upon opening the box, I found a gold-inlaid jade bracelet inside. The brilliant gold and milky-white jade formed a very beautiful decoration.

"This is a popular style in the Western Kingdom. Take a look and see if you like it," Chen Yuan said with a smile.

Little Ayu picked up the bracelet, examined it closely, and a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes. "I think I've seen this before," Little Ayu said, pointing to one of the patterns made of gold thread.

But for the time being, I couldn't remember where I had seen it before.

Chen Yuan laughed: "It is said that this style originated from the royal family of Xifeng Kingdom. Ordinary people also use it. Perhaps some people have used such decorations when they went to town. You remembered it, right?"

Although the Western Wind Kingdom also values ​​royal bloodlines, its regulations on clothing are not as strict. Commoners can wear the same patterns as nobles, only the materials used are different.

It's true, whoever is cheaper is the one who feels awkward.

Little Ayu scratched her head, unsure if that was true.

But she always felt that the pattern was really familiar.

Grandma Wang: "Ayu, go check if your mother has finished cooking. We'll ask Uncle Chen to stay for dinner at our house later."

Little Ayu: "Mmm!"

She picked up the box and ran towards the kitchen.

Liu was cooking and originally wanted to kick Xiao Ayu out, fearing she would get her clothes dirty in the kitchen.

Those fluffy white rabbit furs can easily attract dust.

"Mommy, look, Uncle Chen gave me something, it's so pretty!" Little Ayu opened the box and held the bracelet up in front of Liu.

Liu initially glanced at it, but when she saw that the pattern looked familiar, she took the bracelet back and took a closer look. Her heart skipped a beat.

She had seen this pattern before, at Puji Temple.

She took Xiao Ayu to Puji Temple to pray for blessings, but they encountered a monk whose words terrified her.

At that time, Liu did not dare to look the monk in the eye, but when she looked down, she saw that the monk had a jade pendant on his waist.

Ordinary people wouldn't wear jade pendants, let alone monks who value simplicity.

So in her panic, Liu took a special look at the jade pendant, which had a gold-inlaid jade design.

"Where did Uncle Chen buy it from?" Liu grabbed the bracelet, her heart pounding. She felt that this matter was not so simple.

Little Ayu couldn't quite explain it, so Liu simply handed over the kitchen duties to Ma and hurriedly went to find Old Madam Wang.

Chen Yuan had already been pulled away by Old Wang, who was going to take him to play chess.

Liu told Old Madam Wang about the bracelet. After pondering for a moment, Old Madam Wang said, "When I went to Puji Temple before, the new abbot told me that the former abbot had passed away overnight. He was cremated overnight, but no relics were left behind."

Actually, Old Mrs. Wang had some doubts at the time, because when the new abbot said that there were no relics after cremation, he gritted his teeth.

"He hasn't done anything of great merit, so what relics does he have?!"

What Old Mrs. Wang didn't know was that Yuan Zhi was so angry he wanted to yell, "That Yuan Gou is such a scoundrel! He dug a huge pit for him before he died, and he even has relics in it! Bah!"
Upon hearing Old Lady Wang say this, Liu was terrified: "Could it be that the monk didn't die, and that he was from the Western Wind Kingdom?"

She even wondered to herself, "Could he be a spy?"
Oh my god, what if they are spies sent here by other countries? Will it cause another war or something?

If that's the case, their family will have to consider fleeing the famine again.

Grandma Wang comforted Liu, saying, "Things aren't as serious as you think; it might just be a coincidence."
