18: Chapter 18: The Secret Formula of Crab Yellow Buns 18: Chapter 18: The Secret Formula of Crab Yellow Buns Nobody knows whether Lin Shuang finally got Su Wan’s V50 or not.
Anyway, he was ruthlessly trampled by her again.
In front of the barbecue restaurant, Lin Shuang held his foot and stood on one leg, grimacing in pain.
“You can’t step on every day!
What if you really break my foot?!”
“If I break it, I’ll take care of you in your old age.”
Su Wan parked her little electric scooter and casually slipped the keys into his pocket, “Co on, stop pretending, I’m not wearing high heels today, it didn’t hurt.”
As expected, Lin Shuang imdiately resud his normal pace, “I heard that, you’re going to take care of in my old age!”
Su Wan suddenly thought of sothing and started to laugh, “Lin Dasha, tell , after a few decades, when we’re both old, will we still be fighting and bickering every day?”
“By that age, you won’t be able to wear high heels anymore, right?”
“Why couldn’t I?
I will always be eighteen!”
Su Wan made a scissor hand gesture and held it high above her head.
Her sweatshirt lifted slightly, revealing a slim waistline.
Truly the epito of a vivacious and unbeatable young beauty.
Against the light, Lin Shuang took out his phone and captured this mont.
When they really do get old in a few decades, they’ll use these photos to reminisce these tis.
Su Wan posed generously for the cara, shaking her scissor hand and beaming like a flower.
“This beautiful girl demands a portrait fee, you know?”
Lin Shuang playfully slapped her palm, “Here you go, take a handful of the northwestern wind, don’t ntion it.”
“That’s not nearly enough.
With this beautiful girl’s looks, at least a cup of milk tea is in order, right?”
With a smile, Su Wan stood a finger up beside her face and pointed across the street to a milk tea shop not far away.
It was the recently popular ‘Tea Favor & Facial Grace Milk Tea’, bustling with business, with long queues every day.
Apart from the annoyance of queuing, the taste was actually quite good.
Since there weren’t many people in line at the mont, Lin Shuang nodded in agreent to Su Wan’s request, “Sure, you go ahead and order at the barbecue restaurant, I’ll buy the milk tea.”
But Su Wan grabbed him, “I was just kidding, Lin Dasha, there’s free barley tea in the barbecue place, let’s go.”
She tugged at Lin Shuang’s sleeve, shaking it, “Although you’ve made so money, it’s still best to save it, right?”
A cup of milk tea costing twenty or thirty yuan is actually quite a bit of spending for most ordinary students.
“How co I never noticed you had the qualities of a good wife and mother?” Lin Shuang chuckled lightly.
“Cut it out, there’s a lot you haven’t noticed.”
Su Wan was pulling him into the barbecue restaurant.
At that mont, a dialog box from System Lady popped up in front of Lin Shuang’s eyes, demanding an improvised action.
[Decision Opening]
[Buy Su Wan a cup of milk tea, reward: one milk tea recipe]
[Have Su Wan buy you a cup of milk tea, reward: One barbecue recipe]
Having received so money from System Lady before, Lin Shuang had considered doing business to multiply his wealth.
He couldn’t just keep living off what he had, right?
What if System Lady becos stingy later on?
Considering the difficulty of starting a business, he felt that a milk tea shop would be easier to manage, and the initial investnt would be less.
Lin Shuang often passed by so large self-service barbecue restaurants, where there were fewer custors than staff.
He felt sorry for the owners wasting their hard-earned Silver, as a failed business venture could an a loss of hundreds of thousands.
“Hmm?
What are you daydreaming about, Lin Dasha?”
Su Wan waved her pale palm in front of Lin Shuang’s face.
“Let’s go, I’ll buy you a cup of milk tea.”
Lin Shuang took her hand and led her across the street.
He actually did want to treat Su Wan to a cup of milk tea, and not for any milk tea recipe.
If he couldn’t even afford to buy his childhood friend a cup of milk tea after having made money, what was the point of being wealthy?
After all, money is ant to provide a better life for oneself and for those around.
“Cut it out, Lin Dasha’s got the face of a nouveau riche.”
“Offer to buy you milk tea and still get scolded!”
“Huh?
Don’t you just love it when I scold you?”
Lin Shuang would never admit to such a thing!
Yet Su Wan leaned in even closer, adopting a look of disgust, “What the hell!
Pervert!
Ridiculous!
Isn’t that what you like best?”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
…
At Lin Shuang’s place, little maid Tong Yao sat obediently on the sofa, pursing her lips as she looked at the ssage from Lin Shuang on her phone.
“I won’t be back for dinner tonight.”
The sound of the pressure cooker venting filled the kitchen.
That was the chicken soup she had hurried ho to make after class.
Following the Maid’s Guide in the video, she especially added nourishing Chinese herbs like goji berries, cinnamon, and astragalus.
Although Tong Yao didn’t quite understand why a maid needed to help her employer nourish his kidneys.
There seed to be sothing odd about this Maid’s Guide; could it be a pirated version?
The pressure cooker continued to vent with a whooshing sound.
Little maid Tong Yao puffed up her cheeks like a pufferfish, whooshing out a breath.
Fine, don’t co back then.
Hmph, I’ll drink it all up, all of it!
Not leaving a single drop!
Maid’s Diary: Today, Lin Shuang didn’t co back for dinner, this grudge is noted, next ti…
What to do next ti for revenge, she hadn’t thought it through yet, but the grudge was noted.
…
After sending the ssage to his little maid, Lin Shuang put away his phone.
He and Su Wan had just finished queuing for milk tea and began to place their orders.
“Two ‘Fireworks Fade’, both half-sweet, one with no ice, one hot.”
Lin Shuang ordered with practiced ease.
Su Wan pursed her lips, silent.
While waiting for the milk tea to be made, Lin Shuang chatted with the shop manager lady.
Mainly to inquire about the costs of running the shop.
Probably because he was a bit handso, the shop manager lady answered enthusiastically.
The costs of running these franchise stores were quite transparent, after all.
Since all materials were bought from headquarters, plus the staff wages, rental fees, and a not-so-small franchise fee.
Hearing the astronomical franchise fee stated by the store attendant, Lin Shuang thought to himself that this was a lion’s open mouth.
Luckily, he had already procured the secret recipe for the milk tea!
No need to franchise to produce the sa taste!
He felt the joy of a cheeky boss who had finally stolen the secret recipe for the Krabby Patty.
Wait, that’s not right, how could a scholarly pursuit be terd stealing.
It’s all a gift from nature.
“You want to open a milk tea shop, Lin Dummy?”
Sitting in the barbecue restaurant, Su Wan propped her chin with both hands, alternating her gaze between the sizzling at and him.
“Yeah, I’m thinking about it.
These franchise shops do have so appealing aspects.”
“The appealing aspect you’re ntioning isn’t the black stocking uniforms, is it?”
The staff at the Chayueyan Milk Tea Shop all wore uniform black stocking skirts.
Indeed, quite attractive.
Lin Shuang picked up a piece of grilled beef and fed it into Su Wan’s mouth.
“Just eat your barbecue!
Eat plenty!”
“Even if you try to bribe like this,” Su Wan swallowed the grilled beef, “I’m not going to be your milk tea shop’s proprietress!”
She extended a hand towards him, “You’ll have to pay up!”
