The dumplings tasted as delicious as they did yesterday. Zhou Wencai was in a daze. ‘Can these be eaten?’

Upon smelling the alluring fragrance, Zhou Wencai swallowed his saliva and yearned to eat it. But why was no one offering him a bowl? Was he supposed to find a bowl for himself or eat with his hands?

Zhou Wencai refused to do either.

He was a young master born with a silver spoon in his mouth. No matter where he went, there would be people who would serve him. But now, he had to serve himself. It was very awkward for him.

However, he couldn’t just watch others eat.

Thus, Zhou Wencai cast his gaze around, hoping that someone would notice his predicament.

It was a pity that the dumplings were fresh out of the pot. Who would pay attention to the young master?

Liu Jiaying got to eat because Lin Yuelan scooped her a bowl of dumplings and even gave her a small plate of vinegar. “Ying ‘Er, give this a try. The dumpling is better with the vinegar!” Lin Yuelan said.

Liu Jiaying tried one and immediately shouted, “Yuelan, these dumplings are really delicious! I’ve never had such delicious food in my life!”

These words sounded a little exaggerated. However, Lin Yuelan knew that he was telling the truth.

It was only recently that she found out that the cooking standard in this world was so low that they didn’t even know how to cook ordinary fish. They didn’t know how to use seasonings other than oil and salt. It was little wonder that every time she cooked something, these people would be surprised.

Lin Yuelan put a few more in her bowl and said with a smile, “if you like them, you should eat more!”

She was rather speechless when she saw the young master, who was clearly hungry but was waiting for someone to serve him. She had no idea what Zhou Wencai was thinking. Even at a moment like this, he was still waiting for people to attend to him.

Seeing that everyone had a bowl of dumplings in their hands and he still had nothing, Zhou Wencai abandoned his reservations. He stood up and headed straight for the kitchen. Then, he found a bowl and chopsticks and clumsily scooped out the dumplings in the pot.

He was not familiar with the utensils, and he finally got himself a bowl. However, the bowl was immediately snatched away by Guo Bing. Guo Bing thanked him with a smile.”Thank you Young Master Zhou for serving us!”

Zhou Wencai was vexed, but he was too polite to say anything. He grabbed another empty bowl and filled it up.

This time, he was more careful. When he saw that someone was coming over, he immediately guarded his bowl and looked at the newcomer with vigilance.

Little Three was confused. “Don’t worry. I won’t snatch your food.” Then, Little Three filled up his empty bowl. After Little Three left, Zhou Wencai sighed in relief. He noticed that there was not many dumpling left in the pot. He sped up and filled his bowl to the brim. He finally understood why Doctor Zhang advised him to fill his bowl first. These people were like bandits when it came to food.

Zhou Wencai couldn’t wait to taste the dumplings. The dumplings exploded with juice. It was very fragrant.

Zhou Wencai widened his eyes and stared at the dumplings in the bowl in disbelief. ‘How can this be so delicious?’ Then, he focused on eating.

“Yuelan, did you come up with the method to cook these dumplings?” When she was 80 percent full, Liu Jiaying asked.

“Yes.” Lin Yuelan responded.

“You’re so smart.” Liu Jiaying praised sincerely, “not only can you beat a tiger, but you can also cook.”

Lin Yuelan smiled but didn’t answer.

Zhou Wencai moved over and asked Lin Yuelan, “Miss Lin, can this be sold at the inn?”

His family didn’t have a restaurant. He was asking on behalf of Liu Qi. Liu Jiaying was simple-minded and would never think of this business opportunity.

Lin Yuelan shook her head and said, “I plan to sell this myself.”

“What?”

“You’re going to sell dumplings?!”

A few people cried out in disbelief.

Lin Yuelan nodded and said, “Of course. I’m not only going to sell dumplings, but I’m also going to sell spicy hot pot, hot pot, and barbecue.”

Other than Zhou Wencai, the others were focused on the unknown food.

Zhou Wencai frowned slightly. He asked in puzzlement, “Miss Lin, haven’t you promised to cooperate with Yuelai Inn and provide Brother Liu with new recipes every month? If you sell this yourself…” Zhou Wencai didn’t finish his sentence, but Lin Yuelan understood him.

Lin Yuelan’s lips curled up, and her voice was clear and loud as she said, “young master Zhou, don’t worry. Since I’m working with Liu Qi, I won’t go against the agreement.”

She explained, “The shop I want to open won’t conflict with Yuelai Inn because I’m planning to start a small eatery.”

“A small eatery?”

Everyone was puzzled. No one knew what a small eatery was.

Lin Yuelan explained, “A small eatery will usually sell snacks. For example, these dumplings are snacks too. They are not to fill one’s stomach. It’s for people to solve their munchies craving.”

The people nodded with half understanding.

Guo Bing swallowed a dumpling with a gulp and asked, “so, miss Lin, do you mean that you’ll make more delicious snacks in the future like those spicy hot pot and so on?”

Instead of asking about the small eatery, he focused on the food. He was really becoming a real foodie.

Zhou Wencai secretly heaved a sigh of relief for his friend.

Fortunately, Lin yuelan didn’t break the contract. Otherwise, Yuelai Inn would have suffered a great loss.

Zhou Wencai immediately said, “Miss Lin, if you ever need my help, feel free to ask. I’ll do my best to get it done for you.”

He was glad to help Lin Yuelan if it meant that he would be able to eat her delicious food every day.

When Jiang Zhennan heard that Lin Yuelan wanted to open a small eatery, his heart immediately warmed up. This meant that he would have more chances to help her in the future.

But then his eyes darkened again. He thought of the mask and the scar on his face.

Wearing a mask would attract too much attention. If he didn’t wear a mask, he was afraid that he would scare the women and children.

Jiang Zhennan hesitated for a moment, then he made up his mind and said, “It’s decided. I’ll ask miss Lin to remove this scar!”

Only by removing the scar could he be by Lin Yuelan’s side to assist her at the small eatery.

He had been told to stay back at home while the other men went to town with Lin Yuelan. Jiang Zhennan was slightly jealous.
