Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

Lin Xiaoqian opened the food box and immediately saw the pastries inside. The food box had three layers: the first layer contained pea flour cake and mung bean cake, the second layer contained dragon beard candy and osmanthus cake, and the third layer contained poria cocos cake and crystal cake.

Beautiful colors, small and exquisite, looks delicious.

Lin Xiaoqian's appetite was whetted, and she tried one of each.

It's really delicious, sweet but not cloying. No wonder Gao Guanyu said this shop is famous.

She didn't know how far away Qianbaiwei was, and wondered if she could ask Gao Guanyu to buy her some more so she could bring some for her grandmother to try.

The bell rang.

"Boss Lin, my uncle told me you're leaving after selling 200 bowls of Zhajiangmian?" Gao Guanyu walked over quickly.

The servant behind her also looked at Lin Xiaoqian with a worried expression.

Lin Xiaoqian blinked: "Ah, after all, it's... a task for the family. I need to go back and give them an answer after I finish it."

Gao Guanyu looked heartbroken; was he going to never be able to eat delicious Zhajiangmian again?

Will you come back in the future?

"Well... it's hard to say." It depends on where the system sends her.

"Alas!" Gao Guanyu sighed sadly.

"Then, Mr. Lin, I'll have five bowls of noodles with soybean paste tomorrow too."

Lin Xiaoqian smiled and said, "Of course, even if you didn't say anything, I would have saved some for you and Mrs. Gao."

Gao Guanyu suddenly realized, "Oh right, there's also his wife."

"Ahem, Mr. Lin, I have five bowls by myself, and with my wife, that's ten bowls." He's quite the little genius.

Lin Xiaoqian opened her mouth in surprise: "You probably can't finish ten bowls, can you?"

Gao Guanyu said nonchalantly, "It's okay, I have a lot of family." Yeah, right, I won't give any to anyone, I'll put them all in the ice cellar and eat them myself.

Lin Xiaoqian glanced at the small jars the servant was carrying, which were meant for filling drinks, and said, "Young Master Gao, could you give me a few of these small jars?"

She planned to give Young Master Gao and Prince Cheng a small gift before leaving to thank them for their patronage of her business over the past two days.

Gao Guanyu saw that they were just a few worthless little jars and didn't care. He waved his hand and said, "What's the big deal? You can have them all."

I can always go home and get it later.

Then he ordered his servant to place the small jar on the table.

"There is another matter I would like to trouble you with, Young Master Gao."

Gao Guanyu immediately perked up when he heard that Boss Lin had something for him to do.

"Please speak, Mr. Lin, don't be so polite."

"The pastries that Young Master Gao brought this morning were delicious. I'd like to take some with me to my elders before I leave. Would Young Master Gao be so kind as to do so...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Gao Guanyu interrupted him: "Leave it to me!"

It seems I made the right choice in sending this pastry.

He said that people who can cook delicious food naturally love delicious food.

Qianbaiwei was the number one pastry shop in Beijing in his opinion, and he was confident he could win over Boss Lin.

After agreeing to ten bowls of Zhajiangmian with Lin Xiaoqian, Gao Guanyu wanted to leave a deposit like Prince Cheng.

Lin Xiaoqian refused: "I only asked Young Master Gao to buy me some snacks, and I don't know how to thank you enough, but I definitely won't accept the money for this noodle soup."

Seeing the determination in her eyes, Gao Guanyu gave up.

Forget it, he and Boss Lin are friends, so let's not taint them with vulgar gold and silver, lest it ruin their friendship.

However, he was determined to buy all the pastries from Qianbaiwei's shop tomorrow and send them to Boss Lin, even if it meant relying on his mother's and uncle's status.

After Gao Guanyu left, Lin Xiaoqian couldn't help but sigh, "Young Master Gao is such a good person. If I have the chance to come back to this world again, I will come to find him."

Lin Xiaoqian put the small jar into the kitchen.

She plans to make extra fried sauce tomorrow, put it in a jar, and then send it to Prince Gao and Prince Cheng.

The next day, Lin Xiaoqian got up very early.

Because she was making a lot of sauce today, she got up around 3 o'clock.

I had a simple breakfast of two paper-wrapped shumai and a cup of hot milk.

The pot in the shop can make about 30 bowls of noodles' worth of sauce, so she fried four whole pots of sauce, which took more than three hours.

The steaming hot fried sauce was poured into a stainless steel bucket, filling the entire shop with its aroma.

As dawn broke, the area outside the shop was already lined with horse-drawn carriages.

The local residents, who wanted to get up early to eat a bowl of hot noodles with soybean paste, were taken aback by the scene in front of the shop.

Zhang Daniu counted: "Good heavens, Prince Cheng's Mansion, General Zhenguo's Mansion, Earl Dingyuan's Mansion, Prince Anping's Mansion... Why are so many carriages of powerful and wealthy people parked in front of Boss Lin's shop? Has Boss Lin offended these powerful and wealthy people?"

Li Er slapped Zhang Daniu on the back of the head: "What nonsense are you talking about? I bet they're all here to eat Boss Lin's fried noodles."

Zhang Daniu nodded: "Li Er, you're right. Shall we still go in?"

Li Er hesitated for a moment, then hesitated again, ultimately feeling timid: "Should we wait a little longer, until those carriages leave? Anyway, I don't think Boss Lin has opened the door yet."

Lin Xiaoqian kneaded the dough, rolled out the noodles, and everything was ready by almost eight o'clock.

Lin Xiaoqian opened the shop door and was startled by the scene before her.

There was a long line of horse-drawn carriages at the entrance, almost reaching the street corner.

The people on the carriage, who were drowsy, were jolted awake by a sudden aroma. Realizing it was the smell of fried noodles, they hurriedly lifted the curtain and saw Boss Lin standing at the door.

Lin Xiaoqian found it amusing to see the princes and noblemen looking like they hadn't woken up yet, but still greeted them, "You've all arrived quite early. Why don't you come to the shop and have a bowl of food first?"

"Okay, okay!" I've waited so long just for this.

Nearly twenty people entered the store, filling the small shop to the brim.

While waiting for the noodles to cook, Prince Cheng and the others became quite familiar with each other, offering chopsticks and drinks.

Seeing Lin Xiaoqian come out carrying a tray, the youngest son of the Zhenguo General's family hurriedly ran over to take it.

"Oh, Mr. Lin, there's no need for you to bring it over. We can do it ourselves. You go and cook the noodles."

Well, in order to get their noodles quickly, these powerful and wealthy people actually carried the bowls themselves.

After everyone had eaten their noodles, Prince Cheng had a servant bring a food box to Lin Xiaoqian.

"Boss Lin, pack the remaining four bowls in a food box and take them with you."

As agreed yesterday, Lin Xiaoqian nodded and took the food box. The others had the same plan, and soon the cashier counter at the kitchen door was filled with food boxes.

The wealthy and powerful were very thoughtful; they even prepared bowls, though these bowls were much larger than those in the restaurant.

Ignoring their ulterior motives, Lin Xiaoqian began cooking noodles according to the normal portion size.

Once the noodles with soybean paste are cooked and placed in bowls, they only need to be placed on the small window in the kitchen, and the servants of each household will pack them into food boxes.

Luckily, the noodles with soybean paste didn't have any broth, otherwise they would have definitely turned into a mushy mess.
