Chapter 349 Xia Zheng Returns (1)_1
Liuzi opened the door to find Shopkeeper Liu. He hastily invited him in, yet Liuzi always felt that Shopkeeper Liu’s smile today was a bit too deliberate, as if he had an ulterior motive.
"Shopkeeper Liu, what brings you here?" Lin Yuan wasn’t the type of fussy patron who liked to boss around the owner and little servants during her meals, so she didn’t call for Shopkeeper Liu after placing her order. Moreover, she knew that this was Shopkeeper Liu’s busiest time and preferred not to cause any unnecessary trouble.
Shopkeeper Liu coughed, struggling to suppress the smile in his heart, and bowed to everyone in the elegant room: "Well, Miss Lin, today marks the auspicious opening of Rice Flower Fragrance, and I don’t have much to offer as a gift, so I had my chef prepare a dish called ’Blooming Prosperity’ to send over to you. I wish you booming business and a life full of wealth and honor."
So he came to deliver a dish.
Lin Yuan quickly stood up, smiling as she accepted Shopkeeper Liu’s gift: "Shopkeeper Liu, you’re too kind. After all, I earned my first pot of gold at your establishment. I should be the one thanking you."
Shopkeeper Liu waved his hands urgently, saying "I wouldn’t dare" three times, before clapping his hands to signal the servant waiting outside to bring in the ’Blooming Prosperity’ dish.
As the servant passed by Liuzi with his head down, Liuzi suddenly raised an eyebrow at him, frowning deeply. Was this little servant new here? He felt as though he had never seen him before. Yet, he couldn’t shake off a feeling of familiarity with this man. Such an odd sensation.
Moreover, the hat that he was wearing on his head—Young Master had disliked it for being too sloppy and had forbidden its use last year. So why was this servant wearing it again?
It wasn’t just Liuzi who was sensitive, Lin Yuan also sensed something odd. This servant not only kept his head down, but also seemed taller; she didn’t remember any particularly tall servers among the little servants at Fuman Building.
